Early voting on the November ballot is underway in Ohio, and local citizens have a number of initiatives to consider. For more information on voting, issues and candidates, please visit the Hardin County Board of Elections website at http://co.hardin.oh.us/boe/.
Included on the ballot is a Village of Ada proposed municipal income tax renewal. This proposed levy is for a continuation of the current 0.15% levy on income tax, so it does not result in an increase in taxes. The stated purpose of the levy is for repairs, maintenance, operations and improvements at the Village of Ada’s swimming pool.
Note: Torie Wright, Icon intern, is enrolled in a film class at Lima-OSU. Here's a movie review she wrote for the class.
Marie Antoinette is a movie I have wanted to see since its release in 2006, but never got around to watching. Finally, eight years later, I find myself in a rut of unfulfilled expectations.
Marie Antoinette is an important historical figure, and this movie does her memory little justice. The director, Sofia Coppola, attempts to make Antoinette and her story more relatable to modern viewers, but she does not do so effectively.
