Mount Ayr Community high school's Math Counts team brought home the trophy
for the best score by a small-school team at the regional MathCounts competition held at Iowa Western
Community College in Council Bluffs. Teams of junior high students from 17 schools participated in the
regional competition. The Mount Ayr Community team included Zach LYNCH, Lucas SMITH, Brian INOLES and Grant
LARSEN. The Raider team will advance to the state competition to be held at Drake University on March 14.
James SMITH was sponsor for the team.
Plans for the Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI)
are being made for a southern Iowa route which could take riders through Mount Ayr this year. That was
another bit of information shared at the Mount Ayr city council meeting Monday night. The riders would
be traveling through Mount Ayr, not making an evening stop here, so one regulation would be that
entertainment and booths would be asked to close by 1:30 p.m. to encourage riders to move along the
way to the next overnight stop.
Dr. Peggy WHITSON had come to her parents' home near Beaconsfield Friday
to be here for the public affairs visits to area sites beginning Monday. Her visits to schools in Mount
Ayr, Bedford and Lamoni were postponed this week by the shuttle disaster which took place Saturday morning.
All NASA public affairs events for astronauts were postponed for the week. With the loss of the Shuttle
Columbia and its seven crew members Saturday morning, WHITSON returned to Houston Sunday.
