Ohio Northern University’s Panhellenic Council was recently recognized for its educational programming.
The group earned a three-star award from the Association of Fraternal Leadership and Values (AFLV) for the Council Compass program. Panhellenic Council is the governing body for sororities at ONU.
The council was touted for its efforts to utilize an annual assessment of the community to guide programming efforts. Endeavors have focused on civic engagement, risk management and professional development.
Beginning on Monday, March 4, Ada schools will begin using three-hour delays as needed, according to Meri Skilliter, superintendent.
The provided the following background on the three-hour delay:
In an effort to maintain as much instructional time as we can, and to minimize the number of days we must cancel, the Ada Exempted Village School District will begin to consider and enact a three-hour delay option, beginning March 4.
On a three-hour delay day, all students will still be fed lunch, and the day will NOT be extended.
We will end at our usual ending time, just as we do for two-hour delays.
Ada's council meeting on Tuesday will begin at 6 p.m. and the council will enter executive session at that time, according to Angela Polachek, village administrative assistant.
The regular council meeting will resume immediately following the executive session. The meeting will be held in council chambers.

New heated tobacco devices are not a safe alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes or using electronic cigarettes, according to a new study.
This study directly compared the lung cell damage caused by e-cigarette and cigarette use to this new type of device, which heats solid tobacco to create a nicotine vapor that the user inhales. The conclusion? The heated tobacco vapor from these new devices was highly toxic to healthy lung cells — just like cigarette smoke.
