A trick-or-treat word of caution

From the Ohio Department of Health
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, October 29, 2020

The Ohio Department of Health offers caution during tonight’s local public trick-or-treating.

General guidance
Consider the people in your household who may be at greater risk of complications if COVID-19 is brought into the home, such as those with certain health conditions, women who are pregnant, or older family members.

For parents
• If taking your children trick-or-treating, limit the number of houses you visit and ask your children to stay as far from treat-givers as possible. For small children, consider holding the bag for them.

Icon corrects local polling location error

Ada north and south precincts vote at Ada schools; Liberty precinct votes at Center on Central
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, October 28, 2020

The Icon corrects an error in an earlier story that listed area polling locations.

The correct voting locations follow:
Ada north and south precinct - at Ada school 1986 gym
Liberty precinct - at Center on Central, downtown Ada

In August it was announced by the board of elections that Ada north and south polling location would move from Community Health Professionals to 1986 Ada school gym. 

The move for Ada village voters, according to the board, is due to a state directive: "It has been determined that polling locations are not to be located in a health facility of any sort.”
