Ada's latest news

The idiom "my cup of tea" is used to refer to something one likes to do.  For example, I love to read historical fiction and recently finished a book by one of my favorite authors. Sandra Dallas as an author is my cup of tea! I became familiar with her works when she wrote The Persian Pickle Club about a quilting club in Kansas during the Dust Bowl. I enjoy her books to the point where I order them from the library without looking at the subject. So, I put a loan request in  (thanks, Ada Public Library) for her latest novel The Little Souls without thinking about the topic. Ironically, I started reading the first chapter and realized it was historical fiction about the 1918 influenza outbreak in the United States. My first reaction was enough with the pandemics, but she really is my cup of tea and I enjoyed the story.  

It may not be obvious, but I don’t want to talk about pandemics. I would rather discuss tea. Yes, tea!

The following is a summary of the June 7 Village Of Ada regular council meeting. All members were in attendance and the meeting was conducted by Mayor Dave Retterer.

Council approved minutes from the May 17 meeting with Jason Campbell abstaining. Three payments of $435K, $56K and $50K were approved. 

The mayor shared a letter from the United States Postal Service on national dog bite awareness week. He also noted that the Train Depot park would be renamed the Charles Van Dyne Railroad Park in the course of the evening, which was done during new business.
