About 120 people enjoyed the traditional Thanksgiving dinner at ReStore on Tuesday evening. The meal consisted of turkey and ham and all of the trimmings.

ReStore has held a Thanksgiving dinner for many years as a time for family, friends, and neighbors to gather together to socialize and have a good time, as well as break bread.

There's a new trash hauler coming to Ada

By Monty Siekerman
Goodbye blue totes, hello red totes as Wright Refuse replaces Republic as the trash hauler in town.

New totes, different color. Wright will be picking up trash next week. When the blue totes from Republic are emptied Tuesday morning.

Leave the Republic totes at the curb for Republic to retrieve after they are emptied on Tuesday.

Council accepted Wright’s bid, which was the lowest, for a new three-year contract. The water/sewer/trash bill will increase with the December billing. The trash portion of the bill has been $14 a month for the past three years. It will now be $17.25.
