Leave it up to Lynn RINEHART of Mount Ayr to come up with a new twist on just about anything. His latest creation, along with Jay WATSON, is the Five State Golf Swing - 36 holes of golf in four states in a Day. (The fifth state is the state of despair after an 18-hour marathon of golf.)

An oversized chicken joined the Ringgold Singers Friday night to add a little humor to the county singing group's rendition of "Concerto for Singing Chickens and Piano" during their annual concert.
