Church steeple lifted on Thursday morning

This Thursday the contractor for the First United Methodist Church building project plans to lift the final stage of the steeple on to the tower. 

Assuming no unexpected delays, this should take place in the vicinity of 10 a.m.  Viewing must be from across Main Street. 

The church message to persons interested in watching this proceedure: It is always possible the 120-ton crane could start a bit earlier so don't plan to be fashionably late and don't be surprised if it happens closer to 10:30 a.m. There are a lot of variables that will not be encountered until the process begins.

Say it ain't so...Denver puts Zac on waivers - he's on the practice squad

Zac Dysert, former Ada HS football standout, was cut from the 53-man roster of the Denver Broncos, according to various reports pick up by the Icon.

The Broncos carried quarterback Dysert on the 53-man roster last season, but this year, he’s part of the practice squad.

Dysert was cut on Aug. 30, as Denver kept just Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler as quarterbacks on the 53-man roster.

Dysert cleared waivers following his release. He spent 2013 on the active roster where he completed 12-of-18 passes for 106 yards (5.8 YPA) and a touchdown this preseason. He'll develop on the practice squad as Brock Osweiler backs up Peyton Manning.
