Rob, who heads the ONU political science department, calls the two-seater bike Tandem Talk Time.

Ada V.F.W. and American Legion sponsored Memorial Day services in Ada on Monday afternoon in Woodlawn Cemetery. Here are three views following the service.
The 2015 Ada Consumer Confidence Report, also known as CCR, is now available to the general public.
Making the report available is an annual requirement for compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act for community water systems throughout the country. According to the U.S. EPA, the report “lists the regulated contaminants found in the drinking water…..as well as health effects information.”
The Village passes this information along to its consumers not just to comply with the federal regulations, but also because the administration feels it is important for consumers to know where their drinking water comes from and what affects it.
Is it really spring if bees and dandelions are back? This photo by Ken Collins proves that those yellow "plants" coming up in Ada yards means that spring is here. And, those flying insects simply add to the fun.
