RETOLD OLD NEWS

Mount Ayr Record-News
Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa
Thursday, May 12, 1988

Lisa Wilson, Mount Ayr Record-News

Sun Valley Lake, Ringgold county's privately owned lake community, has a much higher profile these days. There's advertising in newspapers, on radio and later this summer television stations will join the advertising campaign. There's a concerted effort to remodel some of the facilities and spruce up the area at the lake. Now under construction is a new entrance with a nautical theme for Sun Valley Lake. Flowers will be planted in entrance planters and signs will indicate the front door to the private lake development.

Parents of junior students at Diagonal Community high school organized the first after-prom activities to be held in Diagonal following the prom Friday night at the school. There was a good response from students to an evening of food (40 pizzas) and games with prizes in a casino atmosphere. Calling the students to the new gymnasium for the activities was a railroad engine, complete with steam and flashing lights, which will be used again during the community centennial this summer.

Eight new members were inducted into the Parnassus Chapter of the National Honor Society at ceremonies in the Mount Ayr Community high school auditorium Monday night. Inducted were juniors Krista SHAHA, Jennifer SCHAFER and Jeanne LAWHEAD and seniors were Carmen SIMPSON, Jerry NOBLE, Angel McCONNELL and Shelly JONES.

Taking in the face the full impact of a 1,500-pound cow charging her, Phyllis COOPER (Mrs. Harold) came away with a broken nose, lacerations and a severed ear. Mrs. COOPER and her husband were moving cattle at their farm a mile northwest of Kellerton Tuesday morning, May 3. As Phyllis was preparing to shut a gate, a cow, described as tame, came at her. COOPER was able to get the cow away from his wife. He brought Phyllis to the Ringgold County Hospital for examination and she then was transferred to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines.
