Mount Ayr Record-News
Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa
Thursday, March 10, 1983

by Lisa Wilson, Mount Ayr Record-News

Running errands and delivering messages will be two of the duties of Dennis JOHNSON starting March 15. He was named as a page to work in the Iowa House of Representatives with its staff until the legislature session ends around May 20. JOHNSON was one of 38 people selected for the 1983 session. Half of them serve the first part of the session and JOHNSON'S half will fill in for the second part. To become a page, he had to send in a resume, get a school recommendation, be interviewed and get a recommendation from a state representative. A junior at Mount Ayr Community school, JOHNSON is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Duane JOHNSON of Kellerton. JOHNSON is the first page that Mount Ayr Community has had in a number of years, according to school officials.

Due to reasons of health, J. N. CHICKEN has decided to resign as Ringgold county magistrate.

Three new members were inducted into the Grand Valley National Honor Society at its third annual induction ceremony March 1. New members are Cindy BOLES, senior; Shelly PERKINS, junior and Beth STILL, sophomore. The three new members make the honor society number eight with its current members Ryan HOPKINS, senior; Julie SCHWALBE, senior; Barb DOSER, senior; Deborah HULLINGER, junior; and Tammy GREIMANN, junior.

Cindy BOLES of Grand Valley closed out a brilliant career recently in a regional loss to Greenfield. BOLES scored a four-year total of 2,350 points of r82 games for a 28.65 average. She had 280 her freshman year, 408 as a sophomore, 735 during her junior year and posted a school record 927 as a senior.

Jeff KIENE, who finished his wrestling career at Mount Ayr Community high school this year with a return trip to the state tournament, made it into the MACHS conference wrestling record book in a number of categories. KIENE holds the record for the most team points with 171 and tied with Merle TRIGGS to rank first in most take downs in a season with 31. In addition KIENE ranks fourth in the number of falls in his career with 28, trailing Curt BRABY with 56, Kent BLUNCK with 37 and Duane SCHAFER with 33.

Births reported at Ringgold County Hospital this week:

  • A daughter, born March 1, to Mr. and Mrs. Ron ELY, Mount Ayr.
  • A son, born March 6, to Mr. and Mrs. Terry HENSON, Blockton.
