Ada tradition reignited – after an almost 20-year lapse. Several hundred Bulldog students, faculty and fans showed up Wednesday night for a rousing homecoming bonfire held in the practice field at the high school.

The students danced and sang and texted to the music of YMCA by The Village People – can you believe that!

The cheerleaders and homecoming court performed several skits for the football team.

The Ada faculty, who were instrumental in bringing back the event, provided donuts, popcorn and drinks.

News that the Village of Ada is facing a 19% increase in its employee health insurance premiums went down like cod liver oil at Tuesday night’s council meeting at the village’s offices.

Council members and Mayor David Retterer expressed dismay and alarm at Anthem’s new rates. Under the terms of the renewal, an unmarried Ada village employee with no children would see his or her rate go from $448 a month to $532 a month.  A married village employee with two children would see their monthly cost jump from $1,382 to $1,642.
