Dayton football coach Rick Chamberlin received a recruiting tip about a top linebacker at Ada High School a few years ago and drove to a practice to get a glimpse for himself.

But the prospect, Chris Beaschler, spent the day in the trenches at offensive guard, which wasn't a good sign. The kind of athletic ability needed to play linebacker at UD's level typically isn't found there.

Chamberlin was ready to write off the visit as a wasted trip, but the Ada coach intervened.

Details are now available concerning Friday's Interstate 75 accident north of Ada near State Route 235, according to information from the Findlay post of the State Highway Patrol.

Bluffton police, fire and EMS assisted the patrol at the crash scene.

According to the Patrol: A Utah man suffered life-threatening injuries in a three-vehicle crash involving a tractor-trailer on northbound Interstate 75, near the Ohio 235 exit.

They played dirty at the Aug. 27 Founders Hall mud volleyball tournament on the ONU campus. But, that's the game. The mud volleyball tournament has been a Residence Life tradition at ONU for approximately 25 years. It helps usher in the new academic year and serves an important purpose. Proceeds from the event support the Dolly Parton Imagination Library for Hardin County. ONU’s Office of Residence Life is the largest annual sponsor of this initiative, which provides monthly books to children.

The next Hardin County Chamber and Business Alliance "Business After Hours" is Thursday, Sept. 22, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Easter House Bed and Breakfast, 508 N. Main St. Ada.

Alliance staff will host extended community office hours to welcome members and the general public to exchange ideas, discuss business and community needs and answer any questions about the Alliance activities, programs and events.

First, there was a two-hour fog delay this morning at Ada schools.

Then, at approximately 11 a.m. a gas regulator was broken resulting in a precautionary evacuation of the buildings. Emergency personnel were dispatched, according to the Ada schooll e-mail alert system.

The problem was fixed. All students are safely back in class at this time.
