With a high temperature of 73 and a low of 14, the first three weeks of March weather, as observed by Guy Verhoff in Pandora, show how variable the season can be. 

The Ohio Emergency Management Agency agency reminds us that it is Ohio Severe Weather Awareness and Preparedness Week. Know where to go if a Tornado Watch escalates to a Tornado Warning. Safe rooms and storm shelters save lives.

Talk to you family members today to make sure everyone is prepared for severe weather.

Tree City USA recognition and upcoming tree planting

Posted by Paula Scott on Sunday, March 20, 2022

The Village of Ada has announced that it has been recognized as a Tree City USA for 2021. This shows that the village is doing the following:

  • Maintaining a tree board or department
  • Having a community tree ordinance
  • Spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry
  • Celebrating Arbor Day

Committee member Michele Brunk reports, "As we gear up for Spring, residents of Ada may notice some yellow flags on their property. Those flags are marking spots that we will be planting new trees in. We picked sites that have had trees previously and were removed, and several spaces where there was a lack of trees. We will be receiving those trees [on March 18] and are hoping to get them in the ground over the next week. Residents may also notice Utility Services coming out to mark underground lines prior to the planting."
