People must think that the people of Ada are crazy.

The Ada Icon caught many of our local residents and ONU students and employees dressed in unusual ways during the year.

Take a gander at these 2017 Ada Icon photos and judge for yourself. Have aliens landed and taken up residency in the Village of Ada?

One might think so. We begin with Joel Luecke as Mr. Banana, but he's helping with the Colleges Against Cancer at Relay for Life...or so he said. Check out some of the other outlandish Ada folks and see if you recognize them (maybe you are pictured).

The Ada Icon caught the smiles of many people in 2017.

Here are just a few of them. We had to quit reviewing photos because there were just too many smiles... can there be too many smiles?

These photos extend from January to early March. The Ada Icon cam- era caught local residents and ONU students happy doing many things: serving others, winning at sports, having fun, even working.

Are you or your friends pictured?

How to care for a poinsettia

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Wednesday, December 20, 2017

The Hardin County extension office advises:

Poinsettias are extremely beautiful flowers. Proper care of poinsettias after purchase include watering pots thoroughly (to saturation) on a regular basis allowing the potting media surface to dry out between waterings.  

Never let the pot stand in water.  Keep temperatures between 60 and 70 degrees. Place plants near a sunny window, but out of direct sunlight and away from hot and cold drafts.
