He may not be Paul Bunyon from American folklore, but his name is Paul.

On a cold morning when the temperature was only 11 degrees, Paul Osborne and his son Jonathan glean wood from Claire Vaubel's home on West Lima Avenue.

The work of the chopping and hauling will heat the Osborne home southeast of Ada for a time.

Paul says the adage holds true: He who chops his own wood is warm twice...once from the labor, no matter the outside temperature, and once from the heat the wood provides.

In this extreme weather?

An update:
• The men's basketball game was delayed an hour due to the Muskingum bus arriving late due to road conditions. ONU won before a good sized crowd who braved the elements.

• Viva Maria diners filled the restaurant on Valentine's Day in spite of the snow and cold.

• Life goes on in spite of what Old Man Winter is throwing at us.
