Here’s an easy and quick recipe from the Ada sesquicentennial cookbook from 2002. It’s just in time for all those apples you don’t know what to do with.

1 cup minute oats

It was a day of thirds as the Ada High School Marching Band competed in their 3rd competition on Oct. 17 at the Piqua Band Invitational.
Ada High School’s Pac-Man-themed competition show placed 3rd overall out of 11 bands competing in the combined Class B (301-500 students) and C (less than 300 students) grouping.
The color guard received individual 3rd place recognition as well.
That's David "Rico" Rodriguez waving from the cupola of Van's Corner at State Route 235 and Old Route 30 located north of Ada.
He's showing all Icon readers the major work that has been done on the building in recent weeks to turn the structure into a family restaurant called Cherico's.
Several historical parts of the building have been retained, such as the pine floor and cupola.
The photo shows an expanded dining area with the roofline extended on three sides for open air-dining.
In addition, the second floor will be turned into an eating area.

I was the lowest level employee in the mapping section of the Louisiana Department of Transportation. The manager in the geospatial section asked me Saturday if I would mind coming into the headquarters to monitor Hurricane Katrina as it came ashore in the Florida panhandle, which at the time us what everyone believed would happen.
I essentially lived in the LaDOTD headquarters for the next three weeks.

Marking the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is an extensive display of maps in the Elzay Gallery of Art.
The maps tell the story of death and destruction that hit the Louisiana city on Aug. 29, 2005. Many of those who were displaced and disbursed never returned.

Demonstrations in Ada are few and far between, as I have observed of the local scene during the past 50 years. So, when I saw a group of people in white coats standing outside the library, I took note, and in true reporter form, began asking questions.
About 45 pharmacy students and a couple of profs were at the library to meet with a staff member from Congressman Bob Latta's office to talk about making pharmacists "providers," as is proposed in a House bill.
The delegation from ONU came prepared...dressed in pharmacy outfits, bullhorn in hand, signs saying what they wanted.
