Ada service department employee Rob Mix spent Friday locating water services in preparation for upcoming storm sewer improvements in Ada this spring.
MORE PHOTOS BELOW -
Mix then marked each spot with blue paint and/or blue flags, color-coded to indicate "water."
Green flags and paint indicate "sewer," while yellow indicates "gas."
When you were young, photographers often told you to "watch the birdie." With a flock of vultures coasting the skies above Ada, perhaps it's better to keep an eye on this one flying overhead. (Ken Collins photo)

Grain farmers will have a challenging year in 2016 according to most forecasts. A large 2015 crop and weak world demand for grain has diminished the chance of significant increases in grain prices for the short term.
Farmers will try to reduce costs, but in many situations not enough reduction to offset low grain prices. Thus profit margins may be tight in the coming year.
Loyts of events take place at Ada Schools this month. Here's an update from the school website.
DATES TO REMEMBER:
April 1 - Grade cards sent home in homeroom at end of day
April 1 - Seniors - All Ada Local Scholarship Applications Due
