Ada's latest news

By Monty Siekerman

A rodent in a Pennsylvania berg indicated this morning that North America is in for an early spring.

That's good news unless you like to ski, skate, or own a lodge on a hill.

However, a local golden retriever predicts just the opposite, as she saw her shadow in Railroad Park at sunrise, meaning we are in for more cold weather.

But the retriever, named Abby, is a pup and hasn't learned all there is to know about prognostication.
