Duplex, residence, church addition and more

The first six months of this year found a duplex, a home, and a church addition, plus assorted fences, decks, and storage sheds built in Ada. ONU demolished a house on Ballard and Karlton Plaugher removed a house trailer on Lincoln.

Pictured here: work continues on a $200,000 duplex on Autumn Drive by Myler Construction. Two similar duplexes have been built by Myler in the past year or so, as shown in the background of the photo.

Zoning permits were granted to Clint Mathewson for a $250,000 single family home at 1136 Beech St. and a $245,000 addition to Grace Gospel Church, 321 N. Gilbert St.

It's Ada's rooster days of summer

We hope Richard the Rooster doesn't run afowl of the law
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, July 26, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
The saga of the loose chicken continues.

He now has a name: Richard the Rooster.

He can be found in the 500 block of South Johnson Street.

About 10 days ago, the rooster was first spotted on East Lehr Avenue. People took pictures of him, watched his antics, even called the police to try to catch the stray.

Alas, the owner saw a picture of his wayward rooster posted on the Ada Icon. He came to capture Richard the Rooster and took him home about 10 days ago, but that's not the end of Richard the Rowdy Rooster story.
