With his wife and children looking on, Ada’s newest police officer, John Iten, was honored at the regular Ada village council meeting for saving the life of an Ada woman last month.
Police Chief Mike Harnishfeger presented Officer Iten with a red-and-white-ribboned medal in a crushed velvet blue box.
“I don’t feel like I deserve this, I did my job,” said Iten. “It was a team effort. It was the dispatchers, it was EMS, it wasn’t just me. I'm very honored.”
