Ada first graders will present a musical this week.
The musical is titled, "Bada Bing, It's Spring!" by Jill Gallina. Two presentations are planned, on Thursday, April 4, at 1:15 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the school auditorium.
Here's the storyline: The children are waiting for warm weather, the rain is pouring, the weeds have appeared, but the flowers are still nowhere to be found! Come join us as we have fun waiting for the first signs of spring!
Ada council will review an annexation ordinance tonight (April 2). The legislation piece is one of several under consideration, according to the council agenda.
Other council action involves an agreement with Materials Testing, Inc., for observation and inspection services for the Ream Street storm sewer improvement phase II project.
Council will also act on a resolution to participate in the Ohio Department of Transportation winter contract awarded in 2019.
The Icon gets but one chance a year to fool viewers.
That chance was yesterday, on April 1. Sometimes we win and other times, it's rather ho-hum.
Judging by the responses from this year's story, it was, well, not even ho-hum. It was a dud.
Spoiler alert: There is no truth to the fact that a voter initiative may go on the ballot to create a surcharge on all types of Ohio vanity license plates.

ADA - The host Ada softball team plated nine first inning runs and cruised to a 13-1 blowout of Cory-Rawson in non-conference play on a rainy but warm Thursday evening.
The purple and gold improved to 2-1 with the lopsided win.
"Leona Dalton pitched a good game," said Ada head coach Rebecca Dicke. "All of her pitches were working well. We were able to get a lot of young players important playing experience. They have to develop confidence and be aggressive."
