Before the work can begin, the discovery of a body in the Fur Trade Museum jeopardizes the artifact rescue plan. Chloe’s worried husband, police sergeant Roelke McKenna, soon arrives to assist. As the floodwaters creep ever higher, he and Chloe realize that inexplicably, they have become targets themselves. Working together, they struggle to identify a killer…and stay alive.   ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Kathleen Ernst is a social historian, educator, and bestselling author. Kathleen's forty-three published books encompass mysteries, historical fiction, poetry, and non-fiction. The Hanneke Bauer historical mystery series features a newly-arrived German immigrant in the 1850s.

Grease is the word! It’s 1959, and Rydell High’s senior class is ready to rule the school. Bad-boy Danny Zuko and sweet new-girl-in-town Sandy Dumbrowski just shared a summer romance. Now they return to the halls of the high school for their senior year. Along with his friends, Danny is stealing hubcaps and racing cars, while Sandy is adopted into the Pink Ladies--a group of girls looking for fun of their own. Together, they must navigate friendships, romance, and peer pressure as their impending graduation approaches. Set against the idealism of the 1950s, Grease explores the age-old desire of high schoolers to be rebellious, provocative, and ultimately independent.   Grease, written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, opened on Broadway in 1971 and remains among the world’s most popular musicals. It introduced hit songs, including "Greased Lightnin'" and "We Go Together,” ultimately leading to the film adaptation in 1978 introducing us to “Hopelessly Devoted to You" and “Sandy.” Find your saddle shoes, put on your poodle skirt, and come dance in the aisles alongside the OHS Players this November!

WooWoo Women is a gathering place for women who believe wellness is more than a routine, it’s a way of living. Rooted in holistic and integrated wellbeing (mind, body, spirit, home, work, relationships), we meet to reconnect with what’s true, what’s nourishing, and what’s next.   This collaborative is built on an ancient, evolutionary truth: when women share wisdom, communities rise. Across generations and cultures, fellowship has been a cornerstone of resilience, because we’re not meant to heal, build, or lead alone. Here, we practice the kind of connection that strengthens nervous systems, sparks clarity, and turns personal growth into collective momentum.   Each meeting features a speaker or experiential guide - a woman actively living our mission in the real world. Through stories, tools, and lived practices, she’ll share how she’s approaching integrated wellness and purposeful living in her work, family, leadership, creativity, and community. Expect meaningful conversation, grounded inspiration, and a supportive space to be seen and supported.   Come for the networking. Stay for the fellowship. Leave with wisdom you can actually use, and a community that helps you keep becoming.
