A VIDEO ARE BELOW -

Burt Lancaster starred in the movie “The Swimmer” in 1968, the year Saundra Neely began teaching Red Cross swim lessons in Ada. After 50 years, the movie may lay dusty on a shelf in a film museum somewhere, but Saundra Neely hasn’t put down her swim instruction manual quite yet.

On July 16, Mrs. Neely will begin teaching water safety once again, but this year will be her last as volunteer water safety instructor at the Ada Municipal Swimming Pool. Again this year, for two weeks in July, she will teach children, youth and adults in four different skill levels.

The Ada Area Chamber of Commerce will have a ribbon cutting ceremony. Mayor Dave Retterer and Ken Lauria, of the Ada Dog Park Association, will make brief remarks. Then, it’s playtime for the dogs at the new 100’ by 300’ facility.

There is a shelter house, trees have been planted, water is available...and plenty of poop bags are on hand.

Boston Crusaders performance in a word: Excitment

Downpour nearly cancels the show

One word best describes the Boston Crusaders performance: Excitement.

The theme “S.OS.” effectively portrays the sad state of affairs of a group of people who become marooned as castaways on an island. The dramatic music builds. The musicians and flag members act out their dilemma. The scenery of beaches and palm trees adds to the reality.
