Kids loved the reptile program sponsored by the Ada Public Library and held at Community Health Professionals on Tuesday afternoon.
Nearly 100 people attended the program and could "pet" such things as snakes and tortoises while Keith Gisser described the reptiles...where they live, what they eat, how big they get, how long they live Gisser brought a dozen reptiles with him, all rescued creatures, which are given a home at Herps Alive near Cleveland.

FROM BLUFFTON ICON - Once upon a time gasoline was leaded, 30 cents a gallon, or cheaper.
Really.
Those days are gone, but many of the vehicles hooked on that gas survived. Over 200 of them return to Bluffton on Friday for the 49th Bluffton Festival of Wheels cruise-in, sponsored by the Bluffton Lions.
If luck prevails, you might catch glimpses of some gone-but-not forgotten heavy metal cruisers that once roamed Main Street Bluffton.
These included strange names like: Plymouth, Studebaker, Mercury, Edel, VW Bug, Woody, Oldsmobile, DeSoto and Packard.
