Hot enough for you?

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, September 7, 2016

Colin Reynolds trims around trees at Whispering Pines apartments on West North Street on Wednesday when the temperature was expected to reach 90 degrees.

The late summer heat doesn't set a record. Ada has had 95 degree temps during the first week of September over the years, according to Intellicast.

Best time to work outdoors: the early morning hours. High temperatures remain even into late afternoon and evening when the mercury tops 90 degrees. (Monty Siekerman)

As you enter the building at 210 N. Main, you are greeted with a hug from 87-year-old Bea Collingsworth. You know you are in for a pleasant time.

This reporter planned to write about a breakfast held in Alger on a monthly basis for the past 10 years, come rain or shine, but ended up with an additional story---that of Bea and her job as "greeter" at the event.
