Ringgold County and the East Fork of Grand River Watershed was the site for a water monitoring training program held last Thursday. The Izaak Walton League has donated their resources to provide training for water quality testing. Save Our Streams Program (SOS) used a biological monitoring approach which involves taking a "critter count" assessing their tolerance to pollutants to determine stream health. Not many sites are chosen for this, and Ringgold county was chosen because of the watershed project on the East Fork of the Grand River. A base reading is done on the river and readings will continue to be monitored in the future.

Cadet Keith HISE graduated from the United States Naval League Cadet Corps on July 17, 1999 at Whiteman Air Force Base, Knob Noster, MO.

HISE, 12-years-old, will be a seventh grader at Mount Ayr Community junior high school. He is the son of Loyd "Bud" and Lisa HISE of Mount Ayr. Grandparents are Loyd, Sr. and Minola HISE of King City, MO, and Don and Mary LERICKE of Albany, MO.
