Issue 2 explanation on the program

Local candidates will share their stories, and an Ohio Northern University professor will provide a briefing on Issue 2, at an upcoming meeting of Allen and Hardin for Election Action and Democracy (AHEAD), a local citizen advocacy group. The meeting is co-sponsored by the ONU College Democrats.

The meeting, open to the public, is from 6 to 8 p.m., Monday, Oct. 16, in Meyer Hall of Science, Room 107, 515 W. Lincoln Ave., Ada.

Ohio Northern University music and theatre arts students will present "Carrie the Musical" at The Freed Center from Oct. 19-22.

The show is adapted from Stephen King's horror novel "Carrie" but has gone through many rewrites from the time the musical was originally produced in England to a limited 1988 Broadway production to an 0ff Broadway revival.

Briefly, here's the story: Carrie White is a misfit - awkward, unattractive, heavy.  At school, she’s an outcast who’s bullied by the popular crowd and virtually invisible to everyone else.
