Finding victims and mapping roads that are open in hurricanes or earthquakes, mapping algae blooms in Lake Erie, and helping farmers learn of insects or diseases in crops
About 100 geographers from Ohio and Michigan colleges met at ONU on Oct. 19 to learn the latest in the field.
Faculty members, students and professionals heard presentations about the fast evolving field, such as finding victims and mapping roads that are open in hurricanes or earthquakes, mapping algae blooms in Lake Erie, and helping farmers learn of insects or diseases in crops.
Dr. Katy Rossiter, ONU assistant professor of geography in the College of Arts and Sciences, and Dr. Jimmy Wilson, assistant professor of management and geography in the College of Business Administration, coordinated the day-long conference.
In this Letter to the Editor of the Ada Icon, the fire department asks for your “Yes” vote on a levy for a new fire truck:
The Ada-Liberty Township Fire Department protects the incorporated area of Ada, 36 square miles of Liberty Township and 10 square miles in Orange Township, Hancock County.
In 1990, the fire department took delivery of the first fire truck of its kind in the area. Engine 53 carries 2,500 gallons of water for rural fires, 900 feet of 5 inch hose for supplying water from hydrants, 500 feet of 3 inch hose, and 550 feet of 1 3/4 inch attack lines.
Ohio Northern will have the home court advantage on Tuesday for the first match of the OAC volleyball tourney. Start time: 7 p.m. at the ONU Sports Center. No. 22-ranked Ohio Northern team won its third consecutive OAC Regular Season title in 2018 ... The Polar Bears own the No. 1 seed in this year's OAC Tournament after tying with Otterbein in the regular season standings ... ONU enters the contest after a thrilling 3-2 victory at Mount Union on Saturday to clinch the OAC Regular Season crown.
Ada-Liberty Township fire chief, Jay Epley, posted a YouTube video to area voters to support the Nov. 6 fire levy.
He said that the Nov. 6 ballot will find a 1 mill, five-year tax levy to replace the department’s oldest truck, which equates to $100 a year for five years on property with an assessed valuation of $100,000.
