Perhaps you’ve heard of the time value of money. This is a concept that financial advisers and parents(!) try to impress upon young adults, making them aware that money invested early is worth more than money invested later in life. Investopedia.com says: “The time value of money draws from the idea that rational investors prefer to receive money today rather than the same amount of money in the future because of money's potential to grow in value over a given period of time.”
St. Rita’s Medical Center has received the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline EMS Gold Award for implementing quality improvement measures for the treatment of patients who experience severe heart attacks.
Every year, more than 250,000 people experience an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) the deadliest type of heart attack caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart that requires timely treatment. To prevent death, it’s critical to restore blood flow as quickly as possible, either by mechanically opening the blocked vessel or by providing clot-busting medication.

For the 50th time, Sandy Neely has begun teaching Red Cross swimming lessons at the Ada Pool. Over the past have century, Sandy has taught three generations of Ada people about how to swim and about water safety. She has announced her retirement; this year will be her last as the local swimming instructor.
On Monday, 75 people from children ages through adult years began two-week lessons in four levels of instruction. That’s the maximum number that can be taught in Ada. Year-after-year, Sandy’s classes are filled to the max.
Ada High School was well represented in the Down Under Games. Abbie James was 15th overall in the 800m, Miguel Jordan was 7th in the 800m, and Nora Dellifield was 4th (top American finisher) in the Pole Vault. In the next photo, Nora is with other USA athletes and the Australian winner. The Australian is ranked 1st in Queensland for her age group and 2nd in the country. (Jami Dellifield photos)
