There's a weekend open house in Ada and you are invited.
Ruth Roiter's Gallery for the Arts, 115 S. Main St., will hold an open house from 4 to 7 p.m., Friday, April 8, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, April 9.
The Gallery features original works by Ada artists and artisans.
Roiter said that visitors will be served wine and munchies on Friday. On Saturday will be coffee, juice and breads. In addition a collection of Gallery items will be raffled.
When Roiter opened the gallery she described its purpose this way: “I set the stage. The artists are the performers.”

Ada service department employee Rob Mix spent Friday locating water services in preparation for upcoming storm sewer improvements in Ada this spring.

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)
