The Icon has alway believed that Ada is the village of more polar bears than any other village in Ohio. And, here's another one of those cuddly creatures. Given the warm temperatures of this week, we are wondering when this bear heads for the freezer. You can find this bear and take it home with you for a small price at Gallery for the Arts 115 S. Main St.

Her family launched a scholarship at ONU Law in her memory. Starting in Summer 2021, the scholarship will be awarded to a deserving student in the Summer Starter Program, a program designed for students who excelled in their undergraduate education but received a lower LSAT score.
