Water was on the minds of council members on Tuesday night, as Ada's village council considered a proposal to weatherproof the exterior facade of the Municipal Building at 115 W. Buckeye St. and a request by a farmer's father to help him pay for field drainage improvements that he says benefits the village.

Julia and Noah Leonard sample some chocolate desserts at the Ada Public Library on Wednesday evening. The library's annual chocolate bake-off was a grand success. Everything for the sweet tooth was available from mochi, a Japanese concoction, to healthy peanut butter cup. How could something so delicious be called healthy? The rich dessert is gluten free and contains all natural ingredients as well as local maple syrup. It's vegan, too. Time to gorge...in a healthy way, of course. (Monty Siekerman photo)
