Ada's latest news

ReStore Community Center receives many donations on a daily basis, which the organization appreciates. But the Center has become a dumping ground for some people.

Bags of trash, dirty paper plates, etc. have been received recently.

Even mattresses have been left leaning against the building even though a sign, with large print, clearly states that mattresses are not accepted.

Dana Walters, executive director, asked the Ada Icon to publish this statement:

Ohio Northern University is once again featured as one of the nation’s top schools in The Princeton Review’s annual college guide, “The Best 380 Colleges: 2016 Edition.” ONU also is one of the 159 institutions that The Princeton Review recommends in the “Best of the Midwest” section of its website feature, “2016 Best Colleges by Region.”

“We are pleased that this student survey again places ONU among the best universities in the country,” said Daniel A. DiBiasio, Ohio Northern University president. “This is reflective of the quality of our programs and personnel and the appreciation our students have for excellence.”

Ada council will consider the first reading of legislation authorizing Republic Services as the solid waste and recycling contractor for the village. The action is on the Tuesday, Sept. 15 council agenda.

On Sept. 1 council voted to accept Republic Services as the community’s new waste hauler, because its sealed bid was lower than Waste Management’s. 

The contract is for three years, beginning Dec. 1, with an option to renew for another three years.
