Merry Christmas and happy birthday to Madison Wright

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, December 23, 2014

By Torie Wright, Ada Icon intern

My family celebrated an extra special Christmas in 2001: We welcomed my cousin Madison to the world that day. I was 9 years old.

I remember very clearly just how excited I was, and then the disappointment when I wasn’t allowed to hold her in the hospital. My uncle did let me burp her, though.

Madison is now an Ada seventh grader, a participant in soccer, volleyball, and winter guard, and will celebrate her 13th Christmas birthday this year.

She shared some insight with me as to what it’s like to have a birthday fall on Christmas:

New and improve village website live any day now

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, December 22, 2014

Everything you need to know about the Village of Ada is on the new and improved village website, which should be live by the end of this month – or any day now.

For a look at the site go to: wp.adaoh.org.

You’ll find everything from Boards, Departments, Documents, Pay Water Bill, Notices and a way to contact the village on the site.

The site is more robust, easier to manage and update and has a better layout than the site it replaces. Upcoming events are still on the upper left of the content area, and below that is a calendar that responds to hovering the cursor over bold dates.

Village of Ada accepting applications for pool manager

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, December 22, 2014

The Village of Ada is currently accepting applications for the position of Pool Manager and Street Department Employee. 

The position announcement and the Village Employment Application forms are available at the Village offices.  Contact the village offices at 419.634.4045 for more information.

The Village Pool is overseen by the Village Council and the Village Administrator.  Security is provided by the Village Police Department. 

Pool Rules and Regulations are published each spring so the 2015 document has not yet been created.  It is likely that it will be similar to the 2014 Pool Brochure.
