The entire list of distinguished citizens is at the bottom of this story -
Bill and Beth Ann Bass joined an elite Ada club at this year’s Town and Gown banquet on Nov. 5. The couple received the 2019 Ada Distinguished Citizen Award. The presentation is given annually since 1957.
Their community involvement touches nearly every aspect of Ada.
The person nominating them for the honor wrote: “Bill and Beth Ann are the power couple who accurately portray the model of service through their hard work and dedicated labor to the Ada community.
Daniel A. DiBiasio, Ohio Northern University president, updates Town and Gown attendees on events at the university during the past 12 months. Bill and Beth Ann Bass were recognized as the 2019 Ada Distinguished Citizens. It was the first time since 2010 that two people received the honor. In 2010 Kendall and Toby Baker were the joint recipients.
Jaden E. Heacock, 30, passed away on Sunday, Nov. 3, 2019 in Ada, Ohio.

The No. 10-ranked Ohio Northern volleyball earned at least a share of its 26th total and fourth consecutive OAC regular-season championship after defeating Mount Union 25-20, 25-15, 25-15 on Friday night at the ONU Sports Center.
29th-year head coach Kate Witte tallied her 19th OAC regular-season title in her final regular-season match. Ohio Northern honored Witte after the match as she has announced her retirement following the 2019 season.
To the general public,
It has come to my attention that Ada High School is terminating one of its
programs. A program that has brought home no less than 150 trophies since it
has been at Ada. A program that is home to upwards of 30 students per year. A
program that takes the backseat to all other programs at Ada High School. A
program that doesn’t get recognized enough. A program that I am an alumnus
and teacher of. This program is the Ada High School Winter Guard.
The Ada Historical Society will hold its regular monthly meeting on Monday, Nov. 18, at 6:30 p.m. in the meeting room at the Ada Public Library, 320 N. Main Street, Ada.
