These October 2025 Ada Icon Highlights are an archive of 20 articles selected from 130 published on AdaIcon.com. You’ll find fall sports news from Ada High School, pre-election features on local candidates for council and school board, and one once-in-a lifetime experience: Hilda Mumaugh’s first motorcycle ride at age 104. (Article links below.)

What’s not included in the print Highlights? Ads from our generous advertisers, who support the Icon’s free news, as well as Classifieds, the Community Calendar and more!

This is just the third issue of Ada Icon Highlights, which are distributed to the Ada Public Library, Beatitudes community center, Heterick Memorial Library at ONU, Vancrest of Ada and the Village of Ada offices.

Will a print Highlights ever be a commercial Icon product? Let us know if a hard copy-news stand option interests you!

I am always ready to put more Ada (and surrounding communities) in the Icon. If you are interested in freelance opportunities as a writer, reporter or photographer, please reach out to me.

Have ideas for Icon content? Send them my way!
