This split-screen view of a the same red bush shows the difference one week makes in Ohio's spring. On April 17 was a freak snowfall, which seemed to disappear overnight. Today offers more of a spring-like feeling in Bluffton. To view these scenes upcropped, look at the next two photos in this series.

FROM ADA ICON - Ada native Chris Wire didn’t build a better mousetrap. He didn’t have to.
Instead, he did create 30-second mousetrap video, viewed, oh, perhaps 100 million times. You’ve no doubt viewed it yourself.
Chris, a 1989 Ada High School graduate and son of Keith and Kathy Wire, owners of Keith’s Hardware, is principal owner of Real Art, a technology and design agency in Dayton.
He says that prior to attending the University of Dayton he worked at Keith’s Hardware practically every day and weekends since he was born and all the way through high school.
Welcome to the Icon's new feature "Wear your mask proudly." Viewers are invited to send a photo of themselves wearing a mask. This is not part of our mask contest, which is now completed.
It's simply a way to encourage viewers to wear masks when in public and to recognize those who are thoughful enough to take the time to wear one.
The Icon will post a different photo each day until we have no more photos to post.
