ReStore Community Center receives many donations on a daily basis, which the organization appreciates. But the Center has become a dumping ground for some people.
Bags of trash, dirty paper plates, etc. have been received recently.
Even mattresses have been left leaning against the building even though a sign, with large print, clearly states that mattresses are not accepted.
Dana Walters, executive director, asked the Ada Icon to publish this statement:

As the new school year gets underway, this is a good time to remind Icon viewers of the resources that the Ada school has to provide information to students, parents and community members.

By Amy Eddings It’s the last day on the job as a dispatcher for the Ada Police Department for Doris Essex. As of midnight tonight, the department will no longer directly dispatch its officers to answer calls for help. The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office will be taking all those calls.
The sheriff’s office has already been handling Ada’s police dispatching services overnight, from midnight to 8 a.m. That shift in responsibility took place in July. The stroke of midnight marks the completion of this transition.
