Here's a neat post from the Michael Harnishfeger, Ada Police Chief. It's from the police department's Facebook posted Tuesday:
Today while walking the halls of Ada school I discovered that it was Heroes and Villains Day.
Carisa Temple is a big fan of police and honored our profession by wearing her own police uniform. Carisa's uncle is a law enforcement professional with the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Thanks Carisa, glad we are the heroes and not the villains :)
Always a pleasure to interact with our youth. The future is bright in Ada, Ohio.

James won the 2014 World Series of Comedy Tour.
His standup routine is a little dose of Martin and Lewis, with a little dash of Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. mixed in. He blends both music and dance into his show.
James has appeared on Laugh-Fox, in Las Vegas, and tours the country.
Tickets are $20 single and $35 couples. For guaranteed seating call the restaurant at 419-757-0021.
