ODOT's snowplow truck inspected and ready for winter

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, November 10, 2017

ODOT's 1,629 snowplow trucks have been inspected and are ready to roll.

Last year, which wasn't a terribly snowy season, saw ODOT trucks drive over 6.8 million miles (or like 275 trips around the Earth). Crews used 600,000 tons of salt and 12 million gallons of deicer on the 43,000 lane miles of roadway.

And they have a pleas for you:
While we work hard to clear snow and ice, we need your help as well. ODOT plows were struck 35 times in 2016. Please be sure to give our drivers plenty of room to work. Plow trucks typically drive much slower than other traffic, so be extra alert when driving near them.

Coach Beaschler has high hopes for his 30th season team

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, November 10, 2017

The Ohio Northern wrestling team enters the 2017-18 season with high hopes under 30th-year head coach Ron Beaschler.

The Polar Bears return 12 lettermen and eight starters from last year's squad that posted an 11-4 dual meet record, went 4-2 in the Ohio Athletic Conference and was 11th of 16 teams at the NCAA III Midwest Regionals.

ONU has posted ten consecutive winning seasons and has finished with more wins than losses in 45 of the program's 52-year history.

With high levels of talent and experience returning on the roster, combined with a solid incoming freshmen class, it is easy to see why optimism abounds in the ONU wrestling camp.
