RETOLD OLD NEWS

Mount Ayr Record-News
Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa
Thursday, July 08, 1999

Lisa Wilson, Mount Ayr Record-News

The Jay-Lynn O six-state golf trip took place on June 17. Tom KELLY had the top individual score for the 54-hole marathon trip. From sun up in Bellevue, NE, to sunset at Bella Vista, AR, the dozen golfers were on the go -- playing nine holes of golf on six golf courses in the states of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. Along for the fun this year was Russ PATE, a writer for "Golf Journal," who will chronicle the adventure for that publication.

An effort to perserve Arnolds Park, Iowa's oldest amusement park, received a boost recently when Chuck LONG, a former Mount Ayr resident and chairman of Long Lines, Ltd., of Sergeant BLuff, announced plans for his family and Long Lines to donate over $3.8 million to the Iowa Great Lakes Maritime Museum. LONG, the son of Harriet LONG of Mount Ayr and the late Ralph LONG of Mount Ayr, announced that his family and the Long Lines company will doante all of the park's rides, equipment and structures to the museum if the effort to raise $5.5 million to purchase the land under the park succeeds.

The grandson of a Tingley resident is using a new prostesis to help him water ski with a water skiing team in Loves Park, Ill. Aaron HILL, grandson of Velma HILL of Tingley and son of Roger and Pam HILL of Loves Park, IL, was featured in articles in the Rockford Register recently about the item. HILL, a 16-year-old at Christian Life high school, was born with a birth defect that left him only part of his left arm.
