Work on Interstate 75 will affect traffic patterns soon, according to ODOT.
Interstate 75 will experience a traffic switch as additional traffic is added to the southbound side overnight Friday, Nov. 15, into the early morning hours of Saturday, Nov. 16. The shift is expected to begin after 9 p.m. and is expected to minimally affect traffic.
When the shift is complete, the section of northbound traffic which currently travels on the southbound side between county Road 313 and U.S.68/SR 15 will be extended to Sandusky Street allowing construction activities to begin on two remaining structures and the pavement on the northbound side.

Icon note: Several recent letters to the editor on the Icon concern the discontinuance of the Ada High School Winter Guard program. The following information is provided by the Ada Music Boosters to help explain Winter Guard to the general public. The information presented is not to take sides, but to educate others about Winter Guard.
Similar to Color Guard, Winter Guard is a combination of the use of flags, sabers, mock rifles, other equipment, dance, and interpretive movement in a choreographed routine to express emotions and tell stories through their use.

Melody Veltri wasn’t sure what kind of response she’d get when she approached Ada High School students about competing in an Ethics Bowl. Veltri, an English instructor at the school, assumed some interest among high achieving students.
“The students on the Ethics Bowl teams are academically strong, but I didn’t make that a requirement,” said Veltri.
With 10 students expressing an interest, she has formed two teams of five who meet weekly to read cases.
