Ada CIC members learned that Marathon Oil has filed an application with the Ohio EPA for construction of a 49-mile petroleum pipeline.
The proposed pipeline route passes through the Village of Ada’s groundwater supply.
David Retterer, Ada mayor, told CIC members that the proposed pipeline location does not seem to raise a lot of red flags, but that the village is concerned with anything passing through or over its groundwater supply.
A business class taught by Dr. Jimmy Wilson is updating information about Ada businesses, industries, and churches on Google Maps.
Businesses in town come and ago, especially those who rent storefronts on Main Street. Information about them has been out of date for several years. Several businesses have opened in new structures, such as Vancrest and Ada Family Medicine.
That has all changed.
Ada's industries, churches, parks, and government buildings have been relatively unchanged, but that information has been updated, as well, if needed.

Although only half an inch of rain fell intermittently throughout the morning and afternoon, the usual sizeable crowd did not materialize.

The day began with predictions of rain (the weatherman was right this time). In spite of a gloomy forecast, most of those who reserved booth space showed up. They set up, then waited for the crowds to come.
