Martin Sieff, noted Middle East correspondent, journalist and author, will speak on “Dangerous Ignorance: Why U.S. Policymakers Get the Middle East Wrong” in Ohio Northern University’s Dicke Forum on Tuesday, April 28, at 7 p.m.

The event, free and open to the public, is sponsored by the ONU Department of History, Politics, and Justice; the University Committee on the Arts and Special Events (CASE); and Phi Beta Delta.

Sieff’s lecture will focus on the perceived lies, myths and clichés perpetuated by the U.S. government and the media, and he will describe what is currently happening in the Middle East and what is expected in the future.

PrayerFlight, a program that started in Bluffton, recently announced that it met its goal of “50 Capitals," according to Michael Harnishfeger of Ada, who is one of the program coordinators. 

This effort was begun by a group of pilots and prayer warriors at the Bluffton Airport.
Here's the story:

On Sept. 30, 2006, a single airplane carrying four people set off to fly over the City of Lima and Allen County in Ohio. They departed from the Bluffton Airport on a mission to pray over the city and county. Returning from their inaugural trip, they continued this mission, soon to be named PrayerFlight.

The Ada Icon recently announced that The Cadets selected Ohio Northern University as their primary spring training site. The Cadets are one of the oldest and most honored continuously operating drum and bugle corps in the country.

The Cadets have some immediate need for volunteers. Whether you are a seasoned volunteer or have never volunteered for a drum corps in your life, you are welcome.

They asked people to give up a latte a month and instead give $5 monthly to the cause since $5 feeds a Cambodian child for a month. T

he Christian group also sold cookies during the drive to raise money.
