RETOLD OLD NEWS

Mount Ayr Record-News
Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa
Thursday, August 04, 1988

Lisa Wilson, Mount Ayr Record-News

The first phase of the historical survey of buildings in Mount Ayr is drawing to a close, but there still is a lot of work ahead. Steve MEHLS summed up the first week of work in the area as one in which he was very pleased. With the help of volunteers over 100 buildings in Mount Ayr were inventoried. Pictures were taken of each building and a form filled out about when the building was built and the uses of the building over the years.

Krista SHAHA of Mount Ayr represented Ringgold county at a youth citizenship conference July 26-28 near Des Moines. SHAHA and over 60 other Iowa high school students gathered at Camp Dodge for the conference sponsored by the Iowa Sheriff's and Deputies' Association. SHAHA'S trip was sponosred by the Ringgold county Farm Bureau.

Among the top beef contest winners at the Ringgold county fair were some entries shown by 4-H and FFA members. Ed McCREARY showed the top commercial cow-calf pair at the fair. Showing the top commercial heifer in the heifer show was Dana WEEDA, a Shorthorn and Maine Anjou cross. Reserve champion market beef at the fair was shown by Cory WILLIS. His entry was a Chianina-Angus cross. Winning the rate of gain championship for the show was a steer shown by Dustin BROWN. The steer gained 3.926 pounds per day and weighed in at 1,541 pounds at the fair.

Shannon BARNES showed the champion halter pony at the Ringgold County Fair horse show. BARNES also showed the reserve champion halter pony in dominating that class.

A Ringgold county 4-H member was among those recently honored as the top state beef project finalists. Four finalists, including Lonnie VOTAVA, 19, Diagonal, were interviewed during the recent Iowa 4-H conference at Iowa State University. VOTAVA was recognized during an ISU Animal Science Roundup luncheon.
