Winter roads: Why you may not see excess salt on the roads

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, February 12, 2014

We often hear in medical reports that when it comes to salt, we can have too much of a good thing. Though the “salt” we use on winter roadways is a different product, the same wisdom holds true. But do you know why too much salt on the road is not a good thing?

Some people learn best by seeing the end result of our actions.

The next time you are travelling down Route 30 or 75, take a look at the trees growing along the sides of the highway. Are the evergreens looking brown, especially toward the ground? There is a good chance that those trees are suffering from the salt spray that is projected off the highway by vehicles.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, February 11, 2014

The Village of Ada recently hired Jamie Hall as Assistant Village Administrator.

Jamie and his wife, Valerie, live in Ada with their two sons. The Halls have called Ada and the surrounding area home for over 15 years. Having grown up in Carey, a village that is similar in size to Ada, Hall says that he likes the small, hometown atmosphere he has found and sees it as a great place to raise his family.

Village Voice: Ghouls, goblins and witches hit the sidewalks of Ada!

Posted by Eli Garmon on Wednesday, October 23, 2013

The annual haunting of Ada’s sidewalks takes place next Thursday! On Oct. 31, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 p.m., the children of Ada are invited to bring out their best costumes for the Village’s trick or treat.

Trick or treat is a fun filled evening for many in the community. Whether it’s the handing out of candy, the collection of candy, or just seeing the change in costumes from year to year, there is something for many to enjoy.

We want to encourage everyone to enjoy the festivities safely. Here are a few tips to remember:

• Stay visible! Use glow light sticks or reflective tape to accent your ghoulish outfit.

• Walk with a parent or in groups.

October is National Energy Awareness Month – time to winterize!

Posted by Eli Garmon on Wednesday, October 9, 2013

The Department of Energy has designated October as National Energy Awareness Month, and everyone can take an active part in becoming more aware of immediate energy usage.

It can be easy for many of us to see the financial impact of weatherizing our own homes, but the impact is much larger than that. For example, according to a 2011 report from the Department of Energy in 2011, weatherization decreases national energy consumption by the equivalent of 24.1 million barrels of oil annually.
