Let it snow

Here's how Ada Icon viewers will remember February's 9.5 inches of snow
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, February 23, 2021

More photos tomorrow -
The past few weeks haven’t been much fun as temperatures stayed below freezing for two weeks in tandem with the  heavy snowfall.

Despite that, Icon viewers answered the call for snow photos last week. We received nearly 20 photos and every one of them has a story to tell.

When 9.5 inches of snow covers the ground what else is there to do expect go outside and play – if you are a dog.

Or, you can take photos of the snow from inside your house or outside, especially after you’ve successfully cleared your drive way.

"A naturally gifted artist"

Rebekah Walker, Ada HS senior, is Icon's February artist of the month
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, February 18, 2021

Rebekah Walker, Ada High School senior, is the Icon's February artist of the month.

Rebekah is currently in Art 4.  She has taken Art 1, Art 2, and Art 3.

"Art has always been a part of my life," she said. "I remember in eighth grade Mr. Wells saw a drawing I was doing and told me that he really wanted me to take high school art. I've taken art every year since. In my free time I enjoy creating drawings and paintings for friends."  

Rebekah stands beside a picture of pop bottles that she painted on top of pop bottle caps.

"Believe it or not, it was originally going to be a picture of a 'fox' but, this just made more sense to me," she said.
