The council approved a proposal by Trisco Systems to weatherproof the brick building that houses the village's administrative offices and its council chamber.

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate

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)
