RETOLD OLD NEWS

Mount Ayr Record-News
Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa
Thursday, March 22, 2001

Lisa Wilson, Mount Ayr

A Mount Ayr Community high school student has been named a speech all-stater and will perform at the All-State Speech Festival at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls April 2. Amy HYNEK will perfomr in improvisational acting. HYNEK received the all-state nomination after receiving a division I rating at the state individual speech contest in Ames.

An open house for Hospice of Central Iowa's new office in Mount Ayr will be held April 10. After a ribbon cutting ceremony, the new office at 107 S. Fillmore Street will be open for viewing. The office had been located on the east side of the square before moving to the new office.

Scott GILES of Mount Ayr was one of the officials at the state tournament this year, the first time in 30 years that a Ringgold county official has worked at a girls state contest game - as far as many longtime residents can remember. Back in 1971 Bill SMITH of Mount Ayr officiated a state tournament game for the last Ringgold county representation among officials. He had also worked games in 1968 and 1969. GILES officiated with his partner, Brad BAKER of Afton, for the game between Washington and MOC Floyd Valley in the class 3A portion of the tournament.

The official census count for Beaconsfield may be 11, making it officially the smallest incorporated town in Iowa, but residents there say that's a mistake. They can count 24 people living in the town limits. By the time you add up the list of the PETTINGILLS, KIRKPATRICKS, McALEXANDERS, MAYS, O'DELLS, WIONS, HOAGS, KELLERS, DAVISES, JONES and MATLAGES, there are 13 more people than those that show up in the official count.
