The Village of Ada is considering annexing some property on the east side of Ada, which should be welcome by renters of East Side Apartments. If annexed, those who live in the four-building complex will have their water bill cut in half. 

Presently, the renters of the 12 units pay double the water bill compared to those who live in the corporation. Apartment owner Dennis Kimmet asked for annexation. While at it, the village will also annex some land where the new water treatment sits. Presently, part of the facility is in the village and part is outside.

Playing their Christmas music repertoire
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, December 20, 2018

By Monty Siekerman
A brass ensemble entertained residents of Vancrest with Christmas music on Wednesday afternoon.

The group, formerly known as the COP-er Tones, because it mostly consisted of Ada PD members, is now without a name because most members are from the community.

But the No Name ensemble played their hearts out and the Vancrest folks surely enjoyed the music.

Instrumentalists included Det. George Schlub, Jim Finch, Dennis Holmes, Christine North, Randy Rogers, and Damar Schlub. The mini concert was organized by Ptl. Penny Keller-Clark who arranges a monthly Cookies with a Cop program.
