Here are some photos from Ken Collins, proving it rained a bunch in Ada this week. At least Ada didn't get the winds with the rain that befell Kenton where trees, and limbs, were still littering some of the streets and curbs on Tuesday afternoon. Ken's photos include shots of Ada War Memorial Park and east of Ada. (Ken Collins photos)
Note: The Icon welcomes its newest advertiser, Infinity Salon and Wellness.
This spring Ellen Gilfillen of Bluffton took an empty Arlington storefront and converted it into a salon and wellness center.
“We bought the building and did a complete remodeling of it,” she said.
Known as Infinity Salon and Wellness, the business is located at 108 N. Main St., Arlington.
Gilfillen, a licensed massage therapist, is a 1991 Bluffton High School graduate. She is also an RN and, most recently has worked as needed, as a floor nurse at Vancrest in Ada.
These folks are opposed to gerrymandering, so they set up a table in the tree line in front of the Ada Public Library on Saturday trying to collect signatures from voters who were like-minded. How representatives' districts are drawn is part of the Ohio Constitution, but some people want that changed. They hope to have 305,000 signatures so that the issue can come to a vote in 2018. Pictured are Mary Drzycimski-Finn, Michael Hubbell, and Sheila Coressel. (Monty Siekerman photo)

Mark Bricker, ONU/Sodexo grounds manager, tends a giant pot of annuals that add a splash of color to the Presser Hall entrance.
New this year are several pairs of large pots of flowers, which can be spotted at the walkway entrance between Hill and Dicke, between Wilson and Tilton, and Presser.
Mark, who has been at ONU for about a year, and his grounds crew tend the 342-acre campus that grows in beauty each year, now vying for one of the most beautiful campuses in Ohio.
