Iconoclast View

The staff at Lu Lu's, 114 E. College, Ave., is known for creating interesting messages on the restaurant's marquee. Here's the lastest.

The saga of the loose chicken continues.

He now has a name: Richard the Rooster.

He can be found in the 500 block of South Johnson Street, Ada.

About 10 days ago, the rooster was first spotted on East Lehr Avenue. People took pictures of him, watched his antics, even called the police to try to catch the stray.

Yes, there's something odd about this photo.

But check out the two photos below and see the point of this photo exercise.

It's a before and after or, better still a during and after of East College Avenue. The before/during photo was taken Monday. The after was taken Wednesday.

FROM ADA ICON - Dan and Randy Garver of Fine Touch Furniture, Ada, make it look so easy. Here they pose with a recently completed project.

On Tuesday Ada Rotary members heard an update on the Bluffton Icon's sister publication, Ada Icon, from Fred Steiner, owner, and Monty Siekerman, editor.

The Ada Icon, now in its fifth year, is a household name in Ada. Since Jan. 1 of this year the Ada Icon has had 74,958 views from 33,481 individual viewers.

There are two Icons: Ada and Bluffton. Each cover the school districts in their viewship.

Okay, it's mid-July. Things are pretty slow.

Just for fun, the Icon will provide 4 free tickets to the Shannon Theatre to the viewer who submits, either:

1 - The best headline for this photo, or
2 - A sentence that best explains this photo

To assist, here's some background. The male model is Derek Dukes of Southgate Lanes.

Deadline is Wednesday, July 19, at noon. Send entry with your name to: [email protected], or simply submit your entry on the Facebook comment option.

Looking forward to your entry.
