State Route 31 closure between township Road 265 and state Route 273 has been delayed until late summer. Work will begin once a project on state Route 195 south of McGuffey has been completed.

Once under way, the project will close the route for 60 days for bridge repair at two locations: one over Painter Creek just south of township Road 206, the second over Wolf Creek north of township Road 265. Traffic detoured onto state Route 292 and state Route 273 back to state Route 31. Work is being performed by Crossroads Construction, Cambridge. (See detour map 1, map 2)

Seeing double in Ada

An extra feature to Sunday night's Cadet's performance

A few sprinkles at "curtain time" for the Cadets performance brought out a double rainbow for the corps and audience to enjoy on Sunday evening.

Throughout history there have been many wives tales--some good, some bad--about rainbows.

The Cadets, I'm sure, are hoping the omen in the sky means "good luck" in winning the Drum Corps International competition this year. The group worked diligently at ONU for the past two and a half weeks to take home the top trophy.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, June 19, 2017

052887 - The Icon first thought this was a a zip code, but upon further study, we believe the owner of this plate was born on May  28, 2987. We welcome clarification from any Icon view with more information. We spotted this plate on a blue Honda CR-V in Ada. (The monthly renewal sticker confirmed our birthday theory.)
