The Daisies and Brownies in Ada  celebrated the 106th birthday of Girl Scouts on Sunday evening with a “slumber party” in McIntosh Center.

It wasn’t an “all nighter” for the children since it ended at 8 p.m., but the youngsters enjoyed a movie and popcorn. 

The kids brought their stuffed animals and blankets to watch the movie “Sing.” The Daisy Troop has 15 members and is led by Alexandria Lacombe. Leaders of the four-member Brownie Troop are Kristi Montgomery and Jessica Keckler.

What makes up a good exercise routine?

Exercise should be challenging but it should also be personalized or it won’t have any chance at being enjoyable
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, March 12, 2018

By Christine Schroeder, MOT, OTR/L

Wait…what???   Walk a mile?   Do 10 sit-ups?    Are you kidding? I can’t even do one sit-up or even walk to my car without being out of breath or something hurting!

Is this your reaction when someone says you should exercise? Most people have a ‘cookie cutter’ approach to physical activity. As if exercise is a “one size fits all” type of thing. “I have to be able to walk a mile to get in any cardio. I have to be able to do a sit-up or a push-up to be able to work on any strengthening or touch my toes to really be able to stretch.”
