Jazz culture is blooming at Ohio Northern University thanks to weekly jam sessions that expand learning opportunities for students in settings that extend beyond the classroom.
A jam session is an informal gathering of musicians who play and improvise together, especially in jazz or blues, using no music and literally improvising “on the fly” as they play.
At ONU, jam sessions are run by Gene Parker, adjunct professor of jazz at Ohio Northern. “Many universities have jam sessions,” he said.

I am writing in regards to the upcoming Renewal Levy for Ada Schools. It is a renewal, not a new tax and it only pertains to your income, not your property tax. It also is not based on your place of employment. This levy provides for day-to-day function of the school and is very much needed.
