The following is highway construction scheduled within Hardin County.
Bridge repairs
State Route 31 closure between township Road 265 and state Route 273 has been delayed until late summer. Work will begin once a project on state Route 195 south of McGuffey has been completed.
Once under way, the project will close the route for 60 days for bridge repair at two locations: one over Painter Creek just south of township Road 206, the second over Wolf Creek north of township Road 265. Traffic detoured onto state Route 292 and state Route 273 back to state Route 31. Work is being performed by Crossroads Construction, Cambridge. (See detour map 1, map 2)

A few sprinkles at "curtain time" for the Cadets performance brought out a double rainbow for the corps and audience to enjoy on Sunday evening.
A SECOND PHOTO IS BELOW -
The second rainbow can be seen slightly to the right of the main rainbow.
Throughout history there have been many wives tales--some good, some bad--about rainbows.
The Cadets, I'm sure, are hoping the omen in the sky means "good luck" in winning the Drum Corps International competition this year. The group worked diligently at ONU for the past two and a half weeks to take home the top trophy.

052887 - The Icon first thought this was a a zip code, but upon further study, we believe the owner of this plate was born on May 28, 2987. We welcome clarification from any Icon view with more information. We spotted this plate on a blue Honda CR-V in Ada. (The monthly renewal sticker confirmed our birthday theory.)
School’s out for the summer, but if you ride an Ada school bus there is one action you might take now for next school year.
Parents and caregivers of children who are picked up and/or dropped off at a location away from your residence need to complete a bus request form for the 2017-18 school year.
A copy of the request form is attached at the bottom of this story.
The deadline to submit the form is 9 a.m., Friday, Aug. 4. According to the school, due to busing changes, bus requests will not guarantee an approval. Parents must complete the bus request form first.
The requests must be submitted each new school year since they do not carry-over year-to-year.
This year’s festival is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 16. As in past year's, it will fill Ada’s Main Street from Highland to College. Main Street will be closed at State Route 235 all the way to State Route 81.
