At the Mount Ayr community school board meeting Monday afternoon, newly elected school board members Di BOONE, Brenda BABCOCK and Gary PETERSOHN were administered the oath of office and PETERSOHN was elected president and Dale WALKUP named vice-president of the new board.

The Ringgold County Ministerial Association offered a report and guidelines this week on the Neighbor Helping Neighbor fund developed at its meeting Tuesday. The association has already met a number of students' needs through the schools of Ringgold county and some pastors have presented individual or family needs to the treasurer, Rev. Dorie HANSON.

For reasons unknown, a number of redheaded woodpeckers ahve declared war on Iowa Southern Utilities property near Mount Ayr, according to company officials. Seemingly bent on destroying the poles that support the the 69kv transmission line between the Mount Ayr and Diagonal substations, the tiny chiselers have been hammering away at the poles in search of food. It is the largest number and size of the burrows that have kept a Mount Ayr line crew very busy plugging up the holes in an effort to minimize damage and discourage further attacks by woodpeckers.
