Maybe Leap Year Day should be a special holiday

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, February 29, 2016

By Monty Siekerman
How did you spend Leap Year Day?

Probably, like any other day: going to work on Monday, beginning another week or, if you are elderly, making appointments with doctors and labs.

So, we asked: how did you celebrate Leap Year Day. The consistent answer: nothing special, just another day, went about my daily routine.

Merchants are letting a good opportunity go by. No Leap Year greeting cards or flower specials, no abundance of red, white, and blue flags.

"Lemonade" is more than a drink - it's a musical

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, February 28, 2016

Second and third graders in Ada Schools presented "Lemonade" on Thursday afternoon in the school auditorium. (The program should have been titled "Snow Cone" on one of the few days in February this year to see the white stuff come down.)

Ada has a large group of second and third graders with four classes in second and three in third. 

The program, drawing many family members in the audience, was headed up by music teacher Mrs. McPeeks. (Monty Siekerman)
