Ada's latest news

Letters to the Editor may be sent to [email protected].

Thanks to the voters of Ada who supported me at the polls this month and thanks to my opponent who allowed it to be a civil and honest campaign on both sides. 

I plan to continue my position as the mayor of Ada working with the Council of the Village of Ada, our employees and others. We depend and rely on the amazing and talented people who work for the Village of Ada managing our water and sewer plants, our streets, our finances, our police and our employees.  We are indeed fortunate to have qualified people doing a spectacular job keeping the Village of Ada progressing, financially stable and safe. 

I am honored to be involved in all of this.

David Retter, Mayor of Ada

Northwest Ohio – Wildlife District Two 
On opening day of the 2022-23 white-tailed deer gun hunting season, State Wildlife Officer Supervisor Kevin Russell and State Wildlife Officer Ryan Burke, assigned to Hancock County, contacted hunters. The officers discovered that one individual, who had just completed a deer drive, did not have a valid deer permit. He was issued a citation for hunting deer without a permit and paid $175 in fines and court costs through Findlay Municipal Court. Later, the officers contacted an individual who had harvested a buck without a valid hunting license. He was issued a citation and paid $250 in fines and court costs through Findlay Municipal Court. 

State Wildlife Officer Charles McMullen, assigned to Sandusky County, patrolled Lake Erie with Wildlife Investigator Brian Bury near the Toledo Lighthouse. They contacted a Michigan angler who was anchored and fishing in Ohio waters. The angler had 44 yellow perch in his possession, 14 more than the daily limit. One summons was issued. He paid $168 in fines and court costs and 14 perch were forfeited to the state. 

Brian Clum, Ada VFW Post 9381 Commander, presents a $600 check for Operation Evergreen to Dave Reese, owner of Kaleidoscope Farms. The farm donated 3 trees to be sent overseas to US military installations where US troops are currently deployed. The Ohio Christmas Tree Association (OCTA) spearheads Operation Evergreen. The 2023 goal is 100 trees from around Ohio. The VFW donation will be used to offset the shipping cost, which is $200 per tree. PHOTO from Ada VFW Facebook.
