Business

By Monty Siekerman
FROM THE ADA ICON - Digital music, such as iTunes, hasn't replace the good, ole record business.

In fact, a new business has just opened on Main Street, Ada, that specializes in 33, 45, and 78 vinyl records as well as CDs and music collector cards.

Retro: Music & Media, owned by Chad and Jeanette Smith, opened in the Gibson Building next to Dollar General, at 4171 State Route 235.

Vicki Mills of Miss Vicki's Music Studio, Ada, announces that The JubilHeirs – a choir for singers ages 12 – 25, will now meet on Monday evenings from 6 – 8 p.m. 

"This auditioned, 4-plus-part treble voiced choir begins its fourth season on Sept. 19.  The JubilHeirs learn a variety of music, both sacred and secular," she told The Icon.

Recent performances in Ada and Findlay included songs from Mary Poppins, The Phantom of the Opera, as well as international folk songs in Japanese and French.

Summer’s coming to a close, school starts soon and now is a great time to start thinking about getting back into shape, says Chase Eikenbary, owner of the local Jazzercise.

As an incentive, now through Sept. 15 persons may signup at no cost to begin classes.

Seven class options are available according to Eikenbary. They include:
• Monday – 6 p.m.
• Tuesday – 5:30 p.m.
• Wednesday - 6 a.m.
• Wednesday (Strength 60!) – 6 p.m.
• Thursday – 5:30 p.m.
• Friday – 6 a.m.
• Saturday – 8:30 a.m.
