A strong, viable public library is one of the important cornerstones of any community. Certainly this is true in Ada.
The Icon posted this photo two weeks ago. It's Liberty Chevrolet. We asked viewers for more information.
Cathy Smalley responded with additional information, which follows:
The Chevy dealership was/is 4171 State Route 235. It was owned by Mr. Smith. His wife's name was Florence, but I don't remember his first name. She passed about 25 years ago and he before her by several years.
Hint: the beginning of an array.
ONU's solar array on Klingler Road is beginning to take shape. Construction of the array, which will cover 11 acres of ground, began in earnest just two weeks ago.
Alice Cheney, a member of the Ada VFW Post 9381 Auxiliary, sells poppies at Country Market in Ada on Friday.
She sells poppies every year to assist veterans because her late husband, Dallas, saw a lot of combat in the European Theater during World War II. In addition, she had two brothers who served in that war.
The red poppy is a symbol of remembrance. Donations on Poppy Day remain local to help veterans and their families. (Monty Siekerman photo)
The Icon wants to know what viewers think of when you think of the Icon.
To discover the answer, for the next six weeks, the Icon tosses out a weekly question for viewers to ponder.
The viewer offering the best answer for each week’s question will win this week’s cap.
Here’s this week’s question:
"If the Icon was an animal, what kind of animal would it be? Please offer a brief explanation of why you think the Icon is the animal you mention."
