Ohio Northern senior Gabby Stewart (Union, Ky./St. Henry) was named First Team Academic All-America in softball in voting conducted by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
Stewart, a catcher majoring in nursing, was hitting .393 with three home runs and nine RBI though 10 games this season before the campaign was stopped on March 12 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
She was named First Team Academic All-District 7, 2nd Team All-Central Region and 1st Team All-Ohio Athletic Conference as a junior and was named Second Team All-Conference and Academic All-Conference and was named to the All-OAC Tournament Team as a sophomore in 2018.
In a semester turned upside down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s no surprise that the annual ONU Polar Elevator Pitch competition — the Dicke College of Business Administration’s entrepreneurship showcase — figured out how to not only survive while other events were being canceled, but thrive.
The traditional Polar Elevator Pitch event puts the onus on students’ charisma and persuasive abilities as they present their ideas for a product or service in person.
Students are allotted two minutes to sell their idea to a panel of faculty, students and members of the local business community. Think of it as ONU’s version of the popular television program “Shark Tank.”

Those in Ada have likely seen signs around town from the “Ada School Unmasked” FB group, as well as ones for other schools in Hardin County. I’m going to strain relationships with this letter, but as with much of what’s going on in the world right now, speaking up for others is something we should all do regardless of the fall out.
These groups are circulating petitions for Hardin County schools that they say will be presented to our local health department, demanding “little or no guidelines” for controlling the spread of COVID-19 when our schools reopen.

Work on the Lincoln Avenue reconstruction project at times puts you in a hole. Here's a work in progress view recently as it took place across from the Ada Medical and Diagnostic Center.
