With the coming of dawn on Tuesday came the dawn of a new era in Ada’s solid waste management.  Workers delivered the new, blue bins that will be used by Republic, the village’s new garbage hauler.  Republic won a three-year contract with the village after outbidding Ada’s longtime garbage service provider, Waste Management, by 37 cents per customer per year. 

The lower bid means savings for Ada’s residents, who will pay $14 per month for their solid waste management service, instead of $16.83.

Observations, insights and sightings: Technology

Sometimes, this modern age (I'm talking technology here) gets the carriage before the horse.

First off, I want to thank the three ladies at Rite Aid in Ada for patiently helping me for 45 minutes try to print pictures of my recently deceased dog, Caesar.

We tried. We failed.

Remember not too many moons ago when you could buy roll of 400 ASA film, shoot 24 or so pictures, return to the store, drop off the film and, if you are lucky, get your prints back within 24 hours?

Not anymore.
