Iconoclast bakery: Warm a cold winter night with Icon Monopoly Clam Chowder

Our version has a sort-of Super Bowl tie-in
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, January 31, 2017

One thing I love about a seaside vacation is seafood.

So, here it is winter in Ohio – no sea in sight. What’s a guy to do?

Here’s my answer:  Create Icon Monopoly Clam Chowder.

It’s so easy that after creating it, I wondered why it took me so long to realize that I don’t need the seacoast to enjoy it.

The only decision need prior to creating your own Icon chowder is – which version, Manhattan (with tomatoes) or New England (no tomatoes).

Letter: Provide sanctuary to refugees

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Tuesday, January 31, 2017

Icon viewers:

Donald Trump's recent executive order bars entry to refugees for 120 days,
and to those from Syria indefinitely. It blocks visitors for 90 days from
seven countries.

Refugees are among the most vulnerable people on the planet. Many have
suffered unimaginably. In the United States is a nation of refugees and
immigrants.

I hope that our representatives in Congress and in Ohio will pressure
President Trump to reverse this order. Meanwhile, I hope within Ada, we all
work to show international students, immigrants and refugees that they are
welcome and valued in our community.
