Harold says, "Time to starting exercising"

Try to keep up with his standing, sitting and stretching movements
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, January 23, 2017

Harold Cotsamire brought back more than shells from Florida. The retired ONU controller returned to Ada with an idea: begin a one-hour exercise class of standing, sitting, and stretching movements.

He and his wife, Doris, who passed away last fall, thought it would be a good idea to begin an exercise session in their hometown. Friends at the Ada United Methodist Church encouraged him to begin a class, so he has. Ten people attended the first session last week.

Spring is in the air...or is it Summer?

Sunday's high was 64 degrees, besting the all time record by four degrees. Record low for Jan. 22 is minus 9 in Ada.

Here, Samantha Loomis steers a convertible into a parking lot on campus. Top down cars are seldom found around here in January.

The camera caught runners running, a kid hover boarding, a pickup game of basketball, one of many motorcycles headed through town, and more. People were sure enjoying the great outdoors with the sunshine and warmth.
