FROM FACEBOOK__On June 10, The Village of Ada announced: "after much consideration we have decided to cancel Tuesday night swim for the rest of the season. Unfortunately, we had groups of kids that were not following the rules; some were asked to leave after multiple warnings. Many of those people were very disrespectful and several threatened harm to our staff.

Both had a point, but Hemingway is thought to have won the exchange.
