Every year some street signs need replacing due to weathering, accidents, or theft.

Here are several that will be put up soon by village employees.

Photo: Rob and his daughter Amelia riding along SR 81. The two were headed home on Monday after Amelia's volleyball camp practice at the school where she will be a sixth grader in the fall.

Rob, who heads the ONU political science department, calls the two-seater bike Tandem Talk Time.

False alarm: Monday morning in Ada, railroad crossing gates kept dropping across Main Street, even though no train was in sight. However, Ada police officers were on the scene to keep traffic moving. (Ken Collins photos)

 

 

Ada V.F.W. and American Legion sponsored Memorial Day services in Ada on Monday afternoon in Woodlawn Cemetery. Here are three views following the service.

Another rainy day in Ada.

"Rain, rain, go away.  Ada Robins want to play - but don't really seem to mind the rain too much." (Ken Collins photos)

Is it really spring if bees and dandelions are back? This photo by Ken Collins proves that those yellow "plants" coming up in Ada yards means that spring is here. And, those flying insects simply add to the fun.
