Looks like it didn't make it. One million year old comet Ison apparently disintegrated on its trip around the sun on Nov. 28.
According to USA Today: Like Icarus, comet ISON appears to have flown too close to the sun and broken up in its corona.
Scientists had hoped that the comet from the farthest reaches of the solar system would be able to slingshot around the sun Thursday and emerge streaming a tail visible to the naked eye next month.
There's still time to bid on one of these Christmas trees or for any number of holiday-related silent auction items at Community Health Professionals Festival of Trees. The deadline to bid is 6 p.m., Friday. Watch for a video.
Do you know local men and women who are actively serving in the United States military? In the spirit of the upcoming holidays, the Village is currently looking for names and mailing addresses of servicemen and women from Ada and the immediate area for a Christmas outreach project.
The project will consist of mailing Christmas cards handmade by local children, and the information provided will be used for this purpose.
If you have names and addresses you would be willing to share with us, please feel free to contact the Village Office with the information, or email it to Angela at [email protected].

Want to hear a good Halloween story? Here’s one. And it’s true.
Most of us have forgotten that the bend in the road on State Route 235 north of Ada was originally laid out as a 90-degree angle. If you head north, you can see a remnant of that angle - but look closely.
Most of us have also forgotten that the 90-degree angle once had a name: Dead Man’s Jog. I know how the name came to be. My grandfather told me. He told me the story over a half century ago. It was a story that took place, well, I’ll put it this way - several generations ago.
