It's Back!

Back to school that is - here's a video and lots of photos
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, August 15, 2017

Remember your first day of school as a first grader?

That experience was felt again this morning in the Ada Schools. First graders all the way to seniors said goodbye to summer and hello to the 2017-18 school year.

The Icon roamed the school halls and captured some of the pre-8:15 a.m. moments.

You'll see photos of students waiting in the cafeteria, waiting outside, meeting their teacher and finding their classroom.

Make certain you watch the video as the school doors open for the first time.

He's the original "Guerrilla Painter"

Carl Judson gives plein air presentation Thursday at ONU
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, August 15, 2017

Carl Judson, the original “Guerrilla Painter,” will give a plein air painting presentation at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 17, in the Wilson Fine Arts building on the ONU campus.

He is the creator of unique plein air painting boxes – sometimes called outdoor painting.

William Mancuso said, “Carl has been a plein air painter for over 30 years, and is interested in helping others find ways of integrating plein air painting more fully into people’s daily lives.”

He added: “This all relates back to the time of the Impressionists when painting became portable and a new interest in diverse subject matter exploded onto the stage.”

Letter to the Editor

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Tuesday, August 15, 2017

Thank you for all you do to promote the Hardin County Red Cross Learn To Swim program.

Our classes were full this year.  We even had 2 Level 1 (Beginner) Classes because of the requests/registrations and for the first time in quite a while we had a very advanced class of Level 5.

Without your help to get the word out to the public each year this program would not reach so many students.

My sincere appreciation and thanks!!!
