The Bluffton Lions Foundation will host the 6th annual Ride to Remember in a virtual format this summer.
The public ride that was scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 11, will now be a ride that riders will complete on their own anytime from now until the end of July.
Maps with routes will be provided, but riders may also complete routes in their own communities, or through spinning indoors. The registration fee for the virtual ride will be a donation to the Bluffton Pathways Project, which will be collected during the online registration process.
Dr. Byron L. Hawbecker, 84, died on Sunday, June 28, 2020, at 9:10 p.m. at his residence in Ada.
He was born on Oct. 2, 1935, in Lanark, Illinois, to the late Merle and Cora (Stauffer) Hawbecker. On June 24, 1961, Byron married Anita M. Luxmore and she preceded him in death on Dec. 19, 2001.

The dean's list for the spring 2020 semester at the University of Findlay has been announced. To earn this achievement, a student must attain a grade point average of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.
Ada students include:

There's a hungry machine with very large teeth digging up Lincoln Avenue. And, it's all for the best. When the reconstruction work is completed it will be as if Ada has a new street to travel. Here's work going on recently near the entrance to the ONU HeathWise Pharmacy.
When the Ada Municipal Pool opens on Wednesday you’ll probably see Ashley Sumner making certain everything is in order.
The 2016 Ada High School grad is the year’s pool manager, after serving as assistant manager last year. She’s also worked the pool as a cashier. Ashley graduated from Ohio University this spring with a degree in early childhood education.
Assistant managers are Alexa Hawk (covid-19 compliance manger), Josie Poling and Caitlyn Stover.
The Icon caught up with Ashley last week as she was in the midst of a training session with lifeguards and cashiers. Here’s some of the things you’ll need to know about swimming in Ada this summer.
