Here's the update on Reagan Cox and her America's Got Talent audition

Did she shine? Will she move on to the next level?

Who is "she" we are talking about?

We are referring to Raegan Cox, the 11-year-old daughter of Heather and Craig Cox. Heather is an assistant vice president of Liberty National Bank in Ada, and Craig manages a Lima Save-A-Lot. The family lives in Miller City where Raegan is a sixth grader.

We asked Heather to write a few words about their experience at Cobo Hall in Detroit when Raegan was invited to audition for a popular NBC TV show.

Heather wrote:
"Raegan left for America’s Got Talent Detroit auditions at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7.

Why your leaves weren't picked up

Leaf pick-up will be delayed this week, due to a problem with the vehicle that collects the leaves.

Ada Assistant Administrator Jamie Hall said the machine developed a leak in its radiator and is being serviced.

“We’re already getting some calls,” Hall said of the delays.  He said he expects the vehicle to be back in service before the end of the week.

Leaves are picked up Monday through Friday through November. (Amy Eddings photo)

They "scouted" for food

The giving by townspeople tobthe Scouts for the pantry was considered "good" this year and appreciated. (Monty Siekerman photo)

If the socks fit - here are the answers

Thursday was Halloween in Ada, but these are not Halloween photos.

Crazy socks are the fashion rage. Mismatched, weird, colorful socks were seen entering the school.

In the story on top of the home page we've provided photos of sock models (in a mixed up order): Hannah Weatherly, Barrette Jones, Braelynn Weatherly, Ashley Mattson, Lydia Demascio and Jude Griffin.

Can you match up the shoes and socks with the students in the correct order? The answer is on the photo below:
