Harold Cotsamire brought back more than shells from Florida. The retired ONU controller returned to Ada with an idea: begin a one-hour exercise class of standing, sitting, and stretching movements.
He and his wife, Doris, who passed away last fall, thought it would be a good idea to begin an exercise session in their hometown. Friends at the Ada United Methodist Church encouraged him to begin a class, so he has. Ten people attended the first session last week.
Madie Skiver, an Ada High School senior, had two pieces of art accepted in the Scholastic Art Show in Ft. Wayne, Ind. Her artwork will be displayed at the Ft. Wayne Museum of Art from Feb.12-April 9.
One of her pieces of art, titled "Nevermore," shows a black raven. Madie came up with the idea from her favorite poem, Edgar Allen Poe's "Nevermore." The print received an honorable mention award.
To make the lineo print, she took a cutting tool to a piece of rubber, then applied ink to the rubber, and transferred the image to paper.
