Four teenage Romanian musicians, all of whom are string players, are visiting ONU this week to share their skills.

The Romanian students will attend classes, lessons and rehearsals while interacting with ONU students and faculty members throughout the week.
The ONU Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Combo will cap the 2016-2017 academic year with a concert at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 4 in the McIntosh Center Bear Cave. The event is free and open to the public. The ensemble and combo will perform everything from hard-driving swing, Latin, rock and funk charts, to lush ballads and soulful blues.
Layton Rogers, 16, of Dola died in a car/train accident at 3:50 p.m. on Monday. The crash occurred in the 12,000 block of Co Rd 60 west of US RT 68. The Hardin County sheriff's Office reports that Layton was traveling west bound on Co Rd 60 and failed to yield for a south bound CSX train.
The driver was pronounced deceased at the scene by Hardin County Coroner Larry Kuk. The Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Multi County Crash Investigation Team, Dunkirk Fire and EMS, CSX Railroad Police and Minich’s Towing. The crash remains under investigation.
Summer is right around the corner and who isn’t ready for the sun and heat?
Be prepared for those hot days. You can beat the Saturday, May 27, opening day rush and buy your season pass for the Ada pool now.
Passes for 2017 are $45 per person through June 11. After June 11, passes cost $55 per person.
There is a season-long discount of $10 per person for any resident/taxpayer who works or lives within the Ada village limits and is required to file and pay village income tax (subject to verification).
The discount is the village way of saying thanks to taxpayers, because .15% of the village’s income tax is designated to support the pool.

Fly me to the Moon...or maybe Venus.
Engineering students showed off their work at a senior design showcase last Tuesday in Mcintosh Center. One such project: design of a solar-powered glider for Venus.
Students worked in teams throughout the year on projects ranging from wastewater pump stations, to gloves for cyclists, dairy farm efficiency, a robot that finds objects, and many more.
Alumni from industry came back to campus to judge the various projects on the engineering involved and how well the students could explain their innovations.
