The new Hardin County Beef Ambassador Program (HCBAP) provides an opportunity for youth to educate consumers and students about beef nutrition, food safety and stewardship practices of the beef industry.
The Beef Ambassador Team will promote the beef industry as they develop skills of leadership, communication and self-confidence. The Beef Ambassador Program seeks to educate team members about the beef industry so that they may be better prepared to tell their own story regarding agriculture.
Ohio Northern University’s T.J. Smull College of Engineering honored Brenda Reichelderfer and Carey (Wurgler) Smith with Distinguished Alumni Awards on Feb. 23.
Brenda Reichelderfer
As senior vice president and managing director of TriVista, Reichelderfer, who earned a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering with a business management option from ONU in 1980, has more than 30 years of experience in general management, engineering and operations.
Tom Lehman has been a leader in the Boy Scout program in Ada for 30 years, encouraging positive growth and leadership among our local youth as they prepare to meet the world. He is also the commander of the Ada American Legion Post.
When did the Ada Scout troop begin and when did you get involved?
The troop here was founded here in 1917. I came on board in 1985 because the pack leader at the time had just moved from Ada.
How many boys and young men have been involved in Scouting during your tenure?
Oh, I don't know, lots.
Polar Bears take a bow. Today (Feb. 27) is your day. February 27 is National Polar Bear Day.
Polar Bears International, the world's leading polar bear conservation group—dedicated to saving polar bears by saving their sea ice habitat, is the sponsor of the day, which has special meaning in Ada and Ohio Northern University.
After all: Ada is the capital of polar bears in Ohio, or as the ONU Alumni Association states on its Facebook page tonight, "From our tundra to yours."
