Today’s featured Ada Icon Veggie Garden belongs to Ann Donnelly Hamilton and Loren Hamilton (off working), and their children Grady (age 8) and Morgan (age 2).
Grady and Morgan boast that they did most of the work preparing, planting, and maintaining their garden on North Main.
According to Ann, “Grady has been reading a book on Botany this summer to understand more about how the seeds grow.
Due to continued restrictions on large gatherings because of the COVID-19 virus, the annual Patriotic Pops Concert, scheduled for Sept. 7 at Ohio Northern University, has been canceled for 2020, with plans to again hold the event in 2021. The concert features the Lima Symphony Orchestra.
This decision was made after consultation with Hardin County Health Department officials and is in accordance with the Ohio Department of Health’s extended restrictions on mass gatherings.
It was determined that holding the concert would pose too large of a risk for concert-goers, musicians and volunteers.
The Ohio Northern volleyball team received the U.S. Marine Corps Academic Team Award from the American Volleyball Coaches Association for the 2019-20 season.
A total of 1,313 teams received the award, initiated in the 1992-93 academic year, which honors volleyball teams that maintain a year-long grade-point average of 3.30 on a 4.0 scale or 4.10 on a 5.0 scale.
Ohio Northern has now won the award 12 consecutive years and 18 years overall.
