This week I was asked an interesting drug information question about the mushroom known as Lion’s Mane and its related health benefits.  The first thing that came to my mind was the movie Secondhand Lions.  Not sure why!

The movie was released in 2003 in the comedy-drama genre and starred Robert Duvall. Michael Caine, Haley Joel Osment, and Kyra Sedgwick. Haley Joel Osment had the role of the 14-year-old Walter who is left for the summer with his great uncles. It is rumored that the uncles have a secret fortune and are targets for traveling salesmen and relatives looking for money. The uncles are often seen sitting on their porch with shotguns.

By Cort Reynolds

The 2023 Ada High School track and field team features 36 athletes on the roster under the leadership of 10th-year head coach Tyler Craig. 

A total of 22 boys and 14 girls make up the squad. Four seniors, 10 juniors, 11 sophomores and 11 freshmen comprise the roster.

Eleven male lettermen return to pair with five female letter winners and several promising newcomers.

"We have some strong middle distance relays with a chance to get to state," said coach Craig. "Our goal is to be the hardest-working team around. I firmly believe we have that.

“We have been blessed in having kids who will put in the work that is needed,” he added. “It is a good group.”

Speedy senior returnee Courtney Sumner paces the girls team returnees. She excels in the long jump, sprints and relay events.

The athletic Sumner finished second in the Northwest Conference 400-meter race last year, and crossed the finish line fifth in the league 200-meter event.
