Several Ohio Northern University College of Pharmacy students will provide music therapy to elderly residents of Vancrest of Ada, Thursday, Dec. 5.
The event is part of an ongoing effort involving ONU pharmacy students utilizing music therapy to treat patients with Alzheimer’s dementia and symptoms associated with it such as agitation, anxiety and depression.
This is the third year of the endeavor, and it involves more than 50 students in the student chapter of American Society of American Consultants (ASCP) this semester.
Dear Community Members:
I remain gravely concerned about the callous decision of the Ada Board
of Education to endorse the elimination of one of the school’s most highly
acclaimed extracurricular programs, over the strenuous objection of 32
citizens at the November 2019 School Board meeting.
Ada High School Winter Guard was effectively abolished last August, unbeknownst to the Ada Music Boosters, students, parents, and the wider Ada community.

Newland netted 11 points in the decisive third period as Ridgemont rallied from a 29-23 halftime deficit with a 17-9 quarter to grab a two-point lead heading to the final stanza.

ADA - The traditionally competitive Ada varsity wrestling program enters its third consecutive season under a new head coach this winter in former Bulldog assistant David Ames.
