The Icon hoped that the first serious snowfall of the winter might take place in the early days of December. Alas, it snowed on Nov. 30. You may know this theory: the number of times it will snow in the winter depends on the date of the first snowfall. This photos is from the ONU graphic arts and design Facebook.

ADA - Experienced former Ada head coach Jon Cook returns to the helm 25 years after he was first hired as a Bulldog coach in 2020-21 facing the difficult and perhaps unprecedented task of making the Bulldogs competitive despite several program defections and delays to practice due to the coronavirus pandemic.
He replaces Dre White, who resigned roughly three weeks before practice was supposed to start in October after four seasons of rebuilding the Bulldog program back to respectability.
FROM ONU FACEBOOK - With the recent reporting that three of the COVID-19 vaccines currently in development are highly effective, it’s easy to jump right to the question of “when will we get it?”
While it is impossible to know that at present, we can shed some light on how we got to the point where asking that question is even possible. And for that answer, we need to look to those who worked tirelessly this summer to fast-track the global clinical trials that have delivered the much-needed good news.
Ohio Northern University alumna Donna Christopher, BSPh ’87, is a global vice president of operations for Almac Clinical Services, a division of the Almac Group.
William Wireman, Jr., 68, passed away on Sunday, Nov. 29, 2020, at 3 p.m. at Lima Memorial Health System.
He was born on March 17, 1952, to the late William and Hester (Prater) Wireman, Sr. William married Margaret “Maggie” Hawk and she survives in Waynesfield.
William previously worked as a truck driver for Otis Wright.
It was his wish to be cremated. There will be no services at this time.
