Ken Collins, with camera in hand, visited the Exotic Zoo in Ada on Monday. The zoo happened to be at the United Methodist Church as part of the Ada Public Library summer reading program activities. About 200 people, mostly youngsters, were on hand to see, touch, and learn about all kinds of critters. The library held the program at the nearby church because a large attendance was expected, and the size of the crowd didn’t disappoint. Exotic Zoo personnel bring animals and birds that were mostly born at their zoo near Detroit.
Following another outstanding performance in the 800-meter run, senior Emily Richards (Delaware/Hayes) climbed the list nationally and internationally in the 800-meter run this past weekend.
Richards was .05 seconds off of her Div. III collegiate record and personal best time as she ran a blazing 2:00.67 this weekend at the 2018 Music City Distance Carnival in Nashville, Tenn.
The senior won the race and saw her stock rise in the event on the international and national levels.
