The Icon received a tip that Ada High School graduates Victoria Ross (college senior) and Alaina Robirds (college sophomore) are both playing in the Ohio University Marching 110. We recenly chatted about this life-changing experience.
Q. Is it a coincidence you are both at Ohio University (O.U.)?
VICTORIA: In high school we were alway really good at encouraging each other to take whatever path would really benefit us the most and get us to the places we wanted to go, to reach our goals.
I like to think that telling Alaina of how much fun the Marching 110 is and what a family we have at O.U. I want to think I made it sound like a ‘must come’ kind of deal.”
ALAINA: Victoria is pretty spot on. I was looking at O.U. because I had a teacher who went [there. He said] “Oh you should totally look at it. It’s got a bunch of really great opportunities. Not just course work wise but extracurriculars, intramurals and so I was really drawn to O.U.… and because I had a really good support system here with Victoria.

New distracted driving law became enforceable on October 5
FINDLAY__Troopers from the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Findlay District will focus efforts on curbing distracted driving this weekend, as Ohio’s new distracted driving law became enforceable on October 5. The northwest Ohio initiative started at 12 a.m. on October 6, and will end at 11:59 p.m. on October 8.
On April 4, Ohio’s distracted driving law became stricter and is now a primary offense. The new law gave law enforcement officers probable cause to pull over motorists if they witness them illegally using a cell phone or other electronic device. Since then, there have been 446 distracted driving-related crashes in the Findlay District, a 10 percent decrease over the same time frame in 2022. While these numbers are encouraging, distracted driving still occurs on a daily basis on our roadways. In an effort to reduce the number of distracted driving-related crashes, northwest Ohio troopers will be out this weekend looking for drivers violating the new law.
“The purpose of this initiative is to bring further awareness and education to the problem of distracted driving,” said Captain William N. Bowers, Findlay District commander. “Crashes involving distracted driving are preventable and choosing to drive distracted can result in devastating consequences.”
