Fall is in the air in Ada, meaning four things are certain: the summer heat is leaving, the golden, rusty leaves are falling, pumpkin spice is back on the menu, and the Trike-A-Thon is near!
The Ohio Northern University Honors Program is gearing up for its annual Trike-A-Thon event on October 9, partnering with the Early Childhood Development Center to put together a unique, student-led and exciting obstacle course for preschoolers that raises money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

The Ada Lions Club would like to thank the many sponsors and patrons for their support of the Lions Club food booth at this year’s Harvest and Herb Festival. The Club has been serving the traditional hamburgers and hotdogs for several years. Through the continuous support of our sponsors, we are able to help many local individuals and organizations.
I have submitted several historical pieces to the Icon, and I completed a project recently that I thought might be of interest. I moved an old horse shed from the two-hundred block of South Simon St. to our property on West Lima Ave and restored it for storage.
I was driving down South Simon St, and I noticed an old, sad-looking shed/garage on the back of a vacant lot. I assumed that whoever owned it would be glad to see it gone, so I investigated and located the owner, who, as I expected, was happy to sell it to me for a dollar.
Recent polling indicates that an overwhelming majority of Americans, including me, oppose the U.S. becoming directly involved in the Israel-Iran conflict. In addition, Congress was neither consulted nor granted the opportunity to approve the June 21 strikes on Iran, as required by both the Constitution and the 1973 War Powers Act.
This war with Iran was instigated by a President who has repeatedly shown poor judgment—just consider his erratic tariff behavior as one example.

This past week, I visited Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. to speak with our congressional delegates and attend the American Hospital Association annual meeting. Throughout the week, several congressional representatives spoke from both sides of the aisle on healthcare through deep, rich, and strongly opinionated conversations. In the end, more discussions are needed and, as with any good resolution, both parties need to listen and find balance.
