As a parent, I find it important to know the adults in my children’s lives, both in and out of school. Few adults can drop off a child in the morning, or pick them up in the afternoon and not be aware of certain people, especially one wearing a safety vest.

It’s certainly a rare thing to not be familiar with who Tim Closson is, and I find myself extremely impressed and appreciative of his efforts to assist our children as they cross the intersection in front of the Elementary School building each day.

Three area students were named to the Ohio Northern University spring dean’s list. They are: Molly Moser, daughter of Bruce  and Cindy Moser, 6485 Grismore Rd, Columbus Grove.  She is a junior majoring in accounting. Elita Smith, daughter of Jeffrey and Melinda Smith, 517 Clint Drive, Ada.  She is a senior majoring in management. Stephen Tatarkov, son of Svetlana Tatarkov, 10970 Phillips Road, Bluffton.  He is a senior majoring in mechanical engineering.

 The deans’ list includes students who attain a grade point average of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 grading system.
