In the Ada Icon's continuing quest to stump our readers, we offer this photo taken in Ada. Know where it is?
Hint: in the lobby of a center on Main Street. The words are so true, as you know, if you have ever dealt with a multinational corporation or federal agency...and remember, "the conversation is being recorded for quality assurance and training purposes."
The answer: In the waiting room of Family Chiropractic Center, i.e. the offices of Dr. Larry Hubbell and Dr. Todd Gillfillan at 108 N. Main. (Monty Siekerman)

Approximately 650 sophomores in Apollo Career Center’s 11-member district, including students from Ada HS, will be visiting Apollo during 411Blast, Friday, Jan. 29.
Parents of sophomore students interested in attending Apollo for the 2016-17 school year are also invited to meet their student at Apollo.
The day is designed to expose students to career possibilities, and what paths are available that may lead to their career and/or college success. Students choose two programs of interest and then spend one-half day visiting those labs, meeting the instructors and participating in fun, interactive demos and activities.
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. That was the message of David Horning, comedian motivational speaker, who made two presentations in Ada this week.
In this sketch he used drums to make his point.
He spoke to members of the Ada Rotary and, in this photo, made a presentation to the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce. Horning's brother is a freshman at ONU this year.

The Women’s Center of Bluffton Hospital will be established at Bluffton Hospital this year as the hospital fine-tunes its focus to better serve women.
The announcement follows a yearlong evaluation of services and development of a long-term plan by the hospital administration.
“While continuing to maintain all of our current array of services, we’ve created a plan to specialize in women’s services,” Chris Keller, chief administrative officer of Bluffton Hospital, explained to The Icon earlier this week.
