Phillip Barttels, 79, off Ada was taken by LifeFlight to St. Rita’s Hospital following an accident at SR 235 and 309 on Wednesday afternoon. The hospital staff labeled his condition as stable on Thursday evening.
The Sheriff’s department reported that Battels was driving a 2013 Ford Fusion north on SR 235 when the driver lost control, struck the guardrail of a bridge, began to roll, and landed in a nearby creek. Battels was extricated from the vehicle and flown to the Lima hospital.
The crash remains under investigation by the Sheriff’s Office.
This penguin needs a haircut. Ada first graders are learning about penguins...and may know more about the tuxedo-dressed-looking bird than do most adults. How many eggs do they lay, what do they eat, who are their enemies? Ask a first graders, they’ll know. Their drawings of penguins are displayed on a wall at the Ada Schools. (Answers: 2; small fish and krill; orca whales and leopard seals.) (Monty Siekerman photos)

Our little polar bear friend Bi has traversed the Village of Ada and now, in Part 3 of our saga, we find him throughout campus.
He finds Klondike’s in McIntosh, a buddy at The Inn, a sign pointing to Klondike’s den, even a place where people plunge into the icy cold water in February.
Follow him through campus in today’s installment.
Tomorrow — total polar bear country can be found at King-Horn/Sports Center. This town and campus is polar bear crazy, as Bi found out on his trip here during a harsh winter.
Lima’s Habitat ReStore seeks volunteers to help move its showroom inventory on two February Saturdays.
The move is in preparation of having its retail floor refurbished, according to Mark Suderman of Bluffton, who serves as the store’s volunteer coordinator.
He said that student groups from Bluffton University and Ohio Northern University are among volunteers who have already signed up to assist.
Up to 50 volunteers are needed each morning and afternoon on both Saturdays, Feb. 17 and Feb. 24.
On the 17th inventory will be removed from the store. On the 24th inventory will be returned to the store.
Ohio Northern’s nursing program is ranked 5th in the state among 89 schools that offer nursing degrees. The ranking was determined by RegisteredNursing.org and was based on the pass rate success of students who took the state board examination.
It said this about Ohio Northern’s program:
“Small class sizes, faculty support and post-graduate career support are some of the few attributes of the Ohio Northern University nursing program. A well-balanced BSN or MSN program of theoretical and practical experiences help individuals graduate at the top of the field. Get all the program details by visiting the Ohio Northern University website.”
