It's the first year of lessons for Jillian on fiddle, Tucker on guitar and Cash on dulcimer.

After 12 years of service, Waste Management will no longer be collecting Ada’s residential trash.

The savings?  Thirty-seven cents per customer per year.  Republic’s proposed monthly rate and fuel charge was $16.48.  Waste Management’s was $16.84.  Allen County Refuse, another bidder, priced itself out of the running at $17.34.
