Some high-level painting is underway on Ada's Main Street this week. The top of the building that houses Beacon Realty,  208 N. Main St., is getting a new coat of paint. In our photo shoot, the Icon had difficulty trying to chose which view to post. 

So, in this story, we've posted four different views. We'll let the viewers decide which photo they like the best.

Grindell Masonry, Kenton, is the contractor for the job.

Recent heavy rains: Clear storm sewer systems mean efficient storm water movement

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, August 13, 2014

Village Voice, provide by Village of Ada

The rainstorms we experienced earlier this week left us all with a little education in the importance of storm sewer systems.

Overall, the Village’s storm sewer system performed quite well during the storms, especially given the amount of rain that came down in a short amount of time.

Some areas of our community received 3-4 inches of water in just a matter of minutes, which is far from the normal rainfall we would expect. While some of our streets had water, the storm sewer system was clear enough to allow that water to recede rather quickly.

Records go out the window when the alums face the varsity

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, August 13, 2014

Ada's competitive spirit never ends.

Just mention soccer, as an example. With fall 2014 high school athletic practices in full gear, it naturally follows that it's time for an alums-versus-varsity competition.

Bailey Bowers attended the two afore-mentioned soccer games involving Ada boys' versus alumni, and Ada girls' versus alumnae. Here's some shots from those games. 

PHOTOS:

• Sophomore Kaitlyn Long runs alongside 2014 AHS graduate Annabel Pinkney.

• Freshman Nathan Allen (in white) and 2009 AHS Grad Ben Garmon (in blue) battle for the ball while freshman Terry Sheridan (far left) looks on.
