Wilson was the drummer for the song and his fast-paced drumming is considered a classic by musicians. The song has been featured in over 20 films and TV series since 1964.
The Village of Ada Council met on Tuesday, June 17, beginning just slightly after the appointed time. The few moments before Mayor Dave Retterer opened the meeting with his gavel were like a baseball rain delay on radio. The conversation turned to candy sold at the Village pool and gasoline station sushi.

N. Gilbert St. resident Pam Tenwalde returned to council for an update on the status of on-street parking near the EMS garage that was completed earlier this year. There will be a Public Hearing following the June 1 council meeting to discuss the impact of reduced on-street parking near the garage and the application of Ohio Revised Code regulations.
Following severe thunderstorms with heavy winds on Wednesday, June 18, the greater Ada area was still dealing with some power outages as of 8:00 a.m. on Thursday. The Village of Ada has removed or moved several downed trees and limbs on roadways.
Public Works will continue cleanup efforts throughout the day, June 19. Ada residents may use the Village green waste site at 514 E. Lincoln Ave. to dispose of branches or place them in a pile near the road.
The Village asks that piles be placed parallel to the road to help crews efficiently and safely remove and chip the limbs.
A July 1 public hearing has been scheduled by the Village of Ada council to discuss on-street parking near the EMS garage on N. Gilbert St. Ohio Revised Code regulations may reduce the area where parking is allowed, with some nearby residents having no off-street parking.
