Ohio Northern University faculty member Katherine Krynak’s zeal for animals has led her to a prestigious Fulbright Scholarship opportunity in South America. Krynak, assistant professor of biology, has been selected to study in Ecuador for three months beginning March 2017.
Krynak’s study, “Effects of Introduced Trout on Glassfrogs of Ecuador and the Relationship to Amphibian Disease Susceptibility,” has the potential to make a positive impact on the region’s environment and people.
Here's a Bluffton Christmas card from 93 seasons ago. It's mailed with a 1 cent stamp to the Icon owner's grandmother, Bertha Hahn, 216 W. Elm St., Bluffton, from her bother, Werner Althaus in Toledo. The postmark is Dec. 15, 1923. The card's message is below.

Here's two Facebook videos from the Hardin County Sheriff's Office. Watch the deputies deliver foot baskets donated by the Ada High School Future Farmers of America.

Jose from Lebanon, Ohio, with his young housekeeper, Maria, who was nine-month’s pregnant with someone else’s child, and who Jose had intended to marry, drove to Ada in Jose’s 1996 Mercury Cougar. This was because Jose was a great-great-great-grandson of one of the original immigrants in Liberty Township.
