The public is invited to a rally to urge release of the full report of the Mueller investigation into the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
The rally will be at the gazebo in the Lima Town Square at 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 4. It is organized by local group Allen and Hardin for Election Action & Democracy (AHEAD) and is part of a National Day of Action in coalition with MoveOn, Public Citizen, and People for the American Way.
First there’s testing at Ada schools, a first grade musical and a high school musical. Ohio Northern University hosts a fitness competition, a 3K run/walk and several school-year end concerts.
There’s also the end of the school year with baccalaureate, commencements and alumni programs. Meanwhile at the public library there are board game days, book discussion groups and a teen pizza waffle day.
The Icon gets but one chance a year to fool viewers.
That chance was yesterday, on April 1. Sometimes we win and other times, it's rather ho-hum.
Judging by the responses from this year's story, it was, well, not even ho-hum. It was a dud.
Spoiler alert: There is no truth to the fact that a voter initiative may go on the ballot to create a surcharge on all types of Ohio vanity license plates.

Canvassers will knock on Ada voter doors this week asking for signatures to place a voter-initiative on the November ballot.
The effort intends to replenish the Ohio Local Government Fund. If enough signatures are gathered and voters agree, the initiative places a surcharge on all Ohio vehicle owners who have vanity license plates, specialty plates, historical vehicle plates and motorcycle plates.
Although not yet confirmed, surcharge discussions range anywhere from $25 to $75 per plate, depending on the make, model and year of the vehicle, retroactive to 2013.
