ONU Symphony open to local residents who are musically talented
The Ohio Northern Symphony is expanding its scope to reach members of the community and provide opportunities for talented musicians to play in an orchestra. There are openings for all string instruments, oboe, horn and trombone performers. The symphony rehearses Mondays and Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 7:50 p.m.and performs five concerts each year in Ada.
The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office will conduct a sobriety checkpoint on South Main in Kenton on from 8 p.m. until 1 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
The checkpoint is part of “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” high visibility traffic enforcement initiative covering the busy Labor Day weekend. A fatality occurs every 34 minutes in the U.S. during Labor Day weekend.
Sheriff Keith Everhart pointed out that highway safety data indicates
that highly visible enforcement campaigns reduce drunk-driving fatalities by
as much as 20%.
He said, "It's our goal to have an unmistakable presence, ready to arrest drunk drivers who put lives at risk.”
Tickets are still on sale for the Friday, Sept. 8, Ada Music Booster’s chicken barbecue.
The barbecue is from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. and is available while supplies last. Tickets are $9 each and are available from music booster members or music students.
There's speed dating and then there's "speed dating" library selections. Here's what Ada HS sophomores were up to recently. They were making lists of possible, future silent reading picks - all in a speed dating format. (Photo from Ada Bulldogs Facebook video.)
