Wednesday is Flag Day. What does the day conjure up for you? Freedom, sacrifice, pride?
During the past few years, the Ada Icon has featured homes in the village where the flag is displayed. Since the photos are taken a few days before Flag Day, these residences normally fly the flag continuously.
This year the Icon features institutions, both public and private, and one manufacturing facility. There were three homes we couldn't pass up, so they are included, too.
The following is highway construction scheduled to occur within Hardin County according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.
The first three projects directly affects the Ada community.
Drainage tile repairs
State Route 81 at township Road 55, east of Ada, will be restricted to one lane through the work zone for drainage tile repair. Work is being performed by the ODOT Hardin County maintenance garage.
State Route 235 between state Route 309 and Ada will be restricted to one lane through the work zone for drainage tile repair. Work is being performed by the ODOT Hardin County maintenance garage.
While the 2016-17 school year is history, there's always next year. The end-of-the-year school newsletter has several items that look toward next school year.
One is the elementary supply list.
If your child failed to bring home the list, the Icon provides it in an attachment below below. You'll find supplies needed for Kindergarten, first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades.
The list includes everything from what color of pens needed for sixth graders to the size of crayon boxes needed for Kindergarteners.
Noteworthy is a women's choir meeting for six to eight rehearsals this summer, according to Vicki Mills of Vicki's Music Studio.
"I invite all interested area women to come, sing, laugh, learn, encourage and be encouraged as we learn both sacred and secular music," she said. "Last year's group was a resounding success!"
She added that in last summer's choir singers ranged in age from 28 to 77. Several said they were thrilled with how much fun they had while also learning about vocal technique.
