Icons cover breaking news, sports, obituaries during Summer Break week

During the week of June 29-July 5, the Ada Icon and Bluffton Icon will be in a summer break mode with reduced content. I'll be "taking inventory" and covering public meetings, as well as responding to phone calls to 567-400-4266 and emails to [email protected]. For those who are on the road during this 4th of July week, happy and safe travels! -- Paula Scott, editor.

FROM VILLAGE OF MCGUFFEY FACEBOOK__There has been a significantly LARGE water line break on Courtright across from the school.

The plant will need to be shut down so that no machines burn up during the repairing and replacing process.

Because of this the whole Village will lose water for a bit and then go on to a “Boil Water Advisory” once it comes back on.

We will keep you updated as we get updates. We are very sorry for this inconvenience!
