Snapshots of Ringgold County
Green energy
in
Ringgold
County
As part of our commemoration
of the Record-News 150th year
of publishing, each week we
will feature a photo of life in
Ringgold County.

Snapshots of Ringgold County
photos will vary as the seasons
and events dictate.
In this photo taken in southern
Ringgold County, vines have
overtaken the structure of an old
wind mill.
This is the 22nd of the photos in
our commemorative series.
Logan Wimer and her horse Starlight Gleaming wait in the arena during
the National High School Rodeo championships. She says rider and horse
need to be on the same page at all times in the cutting competition.
Its been almost two weeks, but
nothings going to wipe the smile
from that girls face...
Whos the girl and why is she
smiling?
The girl is Logan Wimer, and
shes smiling because she is the
reigning reserve national cutting
champion, a title she earned at
the National High School Rodeo
Championships held July 14-20 in
Rock Springs, Wyoming.
I was very surprised, said
Wimer. Nobody from Iowa does
that!
Apparently the judges at the
championships didnt get that
memo because Wimer not only
won the opening round in the cut-
ting competition, but she also sat
in third place heading into Satur-
day nights nal round against the
top 20 competitors from across the
nation in the event.
Four Iowa girls had advanced
to the National High School Rodeo
in the cutting event. Ironically, two
came from Ringgold county: Wim-
er and Morgan Quick of Redding.
However, Quick did not reach the
top 20 to qualify for the national
nals in the event.
In the cutting competition,
competitors have just 2 1/2 min-
utes to sort three calves, one at a
time, from a herd of calves running
loose in the arena. Competitors are
judged not only on their ability to
sort the calves but also on their
horsemanship and their ability to
keep the herd relatively calm.
Youve got to look like you
know what youre doing, said
Wimer. The rider and the horse
need to be on the same page so you
know what the horse is going to do
next.
Surprisingly, Wimer rode a bor-
rowed horse during the national
cutting competition. The horse be-
longs to Greg Beutenmiller from
Columbia, Missouri, Wimers cut-
ting trainer for the past four years.
Wimer said although she has
worked with Beutenmiller since
her freshman year in high school,
it has only been in the last year that
they had grown close enough for
him to trust her with his personal
horse, Starlight Gleaming.
He let me use him on the last
day at Lincoln, she said, referring
to a rodeo in Lincoln, Nebraska
just prior to the national nals.
Wimer just misses national title
Finishes second at National High School Rodeo
When Greg heard I had made the
nationals, he made plans to bring
Starlight Gleaming with him to
Rock Springs.
After winning the rst round
with 147 points, Wimer said her
second round didnt go so well.
Those calves were so evil, they
were just evil, she laughed. Still,
Wimer scored 142 points in the
round for a two-round total of 289,
good for third place overall in the
competition and an appearance in
the Saturday night nals.
Heading into the nal round, de-
fending national champion Sadee
Smith sat in rst place with 295
points, six points ahead of Wimer,
and Cheyanne Carpenter was in
second with 290 points, only one
point ahead.
The top 20 nal qualiers draw
for their performance position in
Saturday nights competition. No
one wants to be in the rst posi-
tion, said Wimer. I really like
the sixth position best, but I just
didnt want to go rst. As luck
would have it, Wimer did draw the
rst position while Smith drew the
number six position. I thought it
was all over, said Wimer. Im
going rst, shes going sixth. Shes
six points ahead. I thought theres
no way.
Point totals from the rst two
rounds are added to the points
earned in the nal round to deter-
minate the nal standings. Wimer
opened the nal round by scoring
a 144 1/2 for a three-round total
of 433 1/2, but she said she was
too nervous to watch the rest of
the competition. She said she kept
hearing scores like 135 and 137
and 138, but it didnt dawn on her
she was in championship conten-
tion throughout much of the eve-
ning. Carpenter eventually scored
a 144 for a total of 434 to claim
the national championship by
only one-half point over second-
place Wimer. Defending champion
Smith had bad luck in her nal
round and scored only 138 to n-
ish third with 433 points, only one
half-point behind Wimer.
As the competition came to a
close
A little bit of Mount Ayr history stands no more as the
building on Highway 2 that most recently was home
to Romanos Pizza has been demolished. The PCSB
Bank has purchased the property and will build a
new branch ofce at the location, although plans for
construction have not been set. PCSB Bank currently
has a branch ofce on the north side of the Mount
Ayr square. According to local historian Mike Avitt, the
building on Highway 2 had rst opened in May 1965 as
a Dog n Suds franchise drive-in. Over the years it had
also been home to the B&M Drive-in, the Red Carpet
Inn, the Raider Inn, the Mount Ayr Diner and likely some
others. Beulah Hutchinson also recalls Hutchs Drive-in
was open in that location for a time.
Landmark gone
Cyclists overnight in Diagonal
A large group of cross-country bicyclists spent the night of July 24 at
Fogle Lake in Diagonal as one stop on their 3,900 mile journey. Sea to
Sea Cyclists are a group riding from Los Angeles to New York City in an
effort to raise $3 million to ght poverty around the world. The Sea to Sea
Cyclist effort is believed to be the largest cross-continental bike tour ever.
The United Church of Diagonal treated their guests to pie Wednesday
evening and served them breakfast Thursday morning prior to their de-
parture to Chariton, their next overnight stop. Pictured below is a semi-
truck lled with supplies that accompanies the cyclists on their journey.
The Ringgold county board of
supervisors met in regular session
Monday, July 29.
The board approved a resolu-
tion to apply for funding through
the Emergency Watershed Protec-
tion program for work on three
river channels that are affecting
county bridges.
The projects would stabilize the
channels at the Jackson bridge, the
Noble curve and the bridge north
of Benton. The projects were not
eligible for FEMA disaster relief
funding because they fell outside
county right-of-way.
Total cost of the projects would
be approximately $900,000, but the
program sponsored by the Natural
Resources Conservation Service
would pay 75 percent of the total.
County engineer Zach Gunsol-
ley explained the grant applica-
tion could be rejected because all
Iowa counties may apply for fund-
ing. In addition, even if approved
for funding, the supervisors could
elect not to accept the funding due
Supervisors seek grant to
help pay for river stablization
Preliminary sales gures from the livestock auction at the Ringgold
County Fair showed a total of $44,912.10, compared to $60,182.50
raised in 2012.
A total of 10 head of beef cattle were sold this year, bringing in
$20,374.15. This compares to 12 head of cattle bringing in $22,555.95
in 2012.
This year there were 35 swine sold, bringing $18,411.35. This
compares to 42 swine sold for $19,038.10 last year. In addition, four
carcasses were sold for $1,040.
A total of 12 sheep were sold this year for $2,560.10. This com-
pares with 16 sheep sold last year for $4,025.00.
The poultry sale saw two poultry sold for $55, compared to 14 sold
last year for $455.
There were 16 goats sold for $3,143.00, compared to nine goats
sold for $1,641.75 in 2012.
There were no rabbits sold this year, compared to eight rabbits last
year which brought $255.
Almost $45,000
raised at fair sale
to grant restrictions or budget con-
straints.
Gunsolley added funds from the
grant would likely not be available
for one or two years in the future.
The board also heard an update
on services provided by the Rural
Iowa Crisis Center. A new facility,
the Crisis Intervention and Advo-
cacy Center in Adel, has won the
contract to provide services for a
10-county area. The Rural Iowa
Crisis Center had provided servic-
es for a four-county area.
The supervisors are also seek-
ing volunteers to ll trustee posi-
tions in Liberty and Waubonsie
townships and clerks positions
in Benton, Middle Fork and Poe
townships.

LOOKING BACK in the Early Files
The Legend of Bad Guys
The West was peppered with bad guys
Whose conduct was misunderstood
Yet, today we treat them as heroes
Like they were a Robin Hood.
We tend to portray them as victims,
Who, through no fault of their own
Grew up to be convicts and perverts,
But hey, they were raised in a broken home.

Theyd rob from the wealthy its storied.
Theyd plunder and steal for a lark.
Then pass out gift boxes on weekends
To orphans and nuns in the park.
Theyd burn down a village but were sorry,
And regretted things done even worse.
Darlin Nell got caught in the crossre,
They cried as they lifted her purse.

They never intended to hurt folks,
But accidents happen, they do!
Now we speak of them all with compassion,
Cause bad guys have feelings, too.
We sing of their legends in ballads,
We lift up their deeds in a song
And although it sounds so romantic,
To me it seems dreadfully wrong.

Cause Pancho Villa was a narcisstic bag of
sheep pellets.
So was Billy the Kid.
Jessie James became a hero
For the foul evil deeds that he did.
The bandit Joaquin was a horse thief,
Claude Dallas a cowardly swain,
The Sundance Kid was a scumbag
Who got his thrills robbin the train.

The Godfather made folks an offer
He said they couldnt refuse
If they did hed take them out swimming,
wearing their concrete shoes
Bonnie and Clyde were both psychos,
Pretty Boy Floyd was a rat
And Pancho Villa was a narcisstic bag of sheep pellets,
But I guess I done told you that.
Working church summer youth camp
Summers adventures just keep on rolling with an
experience that I havent had in many years -- working
at a church youth summer camp.
My nephew Brett Smith and his wife Nanette have
been directors of a camp for boys in fourth, fth and
sixth grades for a number of years and they have
invited me to take part several times. It was always at
Fair time at the newspaper and I didnt think I could
take off.
So this summer I said yes and spent three days
having a great time with 35 absolutely delightful boys
and a dedicated staff of 22 others. I greatly lifted the
average age of the staff, but that was okay.
The theme for the week was Helium, He Lifts Us
Up Magnicently, based on the scripture in James
4:10 that promises to Humble thyself in the sight of
The Lord and He will lift you up.
We had an uplifting week, literally.
Brett and Nannette are known for their creativity
with the camp and this was another great example of
taking a theme and making some unforgettable memo-
ries for the youngsters.
There were the usual camp activities -- archery,
BB guns, shing, swimming and the like. A dedicated
group of core shermen had a line in the pond at every
free moment. We spent a couple of hours a day in the
pool. There were campres every night and special
activities like a water slide built down a steep hill that
ran through a whole container of dish soap and who
knows how much water as the kids zipped down the
hill one afternoon.
One of the funny moments of the camp came after
one of the sherman had asked if he could store sh
llets in the kitchen freezer if he caught a big sh. I
said that would probably not be a problem. I should
have been a bit more precise.
Rachel, the cook, came looking for me when my
sherman brought her three three-inch bluegills. He
said you would llet these for him and he could keep
the meat in the freezer.
There wouldnt have been as much as a bite or two
to llet and Im no master sh lleter.
The sh were in plastic bags on a plate.
He said they were too far gone to be returned to
the lake, she said.
Just then one of them made a big ip that took it
several inches in the air and took a couple of minutes
off the life of the cook. We quickly returned the big
catch to the lake for someone else to catch in a year to
two.
Instead of cabins, the camp was divided into labs
this year. Each lab had a male counselor that stayed
with them. During the day there was a female staffer
for each lab to provide some support as well. The
counselor and counselors in training followed the
campers to each activity.
There were classes that were more focused on the
theme. The boys built and decorated some really beau-
tiful kites in one class. There was an experiments
class where fun science was tried. One day the class
microwaved Dove soap into interesting abstract forms,
played with magic sand which doesnt get wet so
can be sculpted in water and made molecules out of
mini marshmallows and toothpicks (with many of the
marshmallows ultimately ending up inside the camp-
ers.)
Then there was my class. I was camp pastor and
had the opportunity of spending an hour with the
campers after supper each evening talking about the
camp theme on the gospel level.
Valle discovered a website with scientic experi-
ments with gospel lessons that was a great help to my
preparation. Then I set out to be a Mad About Jesus
scientist for an hour each night.
I transformed myself with a slogan button covered
lab coat, a white wig of runaway hair and gray eye-
brows and a mustache into Dr. Alma for the sessions.
(I had to substitute the gray trappings for the white
ones I had ordered when the mail order did not arrive
before I had to leave home.)
Using some scientic principles and a magic trick
or two, I shared illustrations of gospel principles
like faith, Gods gifts, light and even walking on
water with the students. We had a great time.
The walking on water was quite a job. I had
24 pounds of corn starch that was mixed with
water that made a thick goo that one could run
over the surface of, yet could sink into if you just
stood there for awhile.
Heres a good test of patience if you want
something to do. Mix three cups of water with
two pounds of corn starch and try to get it mixed
up to a consistency of thick honey. If you put the
cornstarch in too fast, it will take forever. Then
do that 11 more times. Now try to keep the 24
pounds of corn starch suspended in two and one-
fourth gallons of water. Its a good upper body
workout, Ill tell you.
I was able to keep the interest of the camp-
ers each evening, with many of them coming up
during the day to want to get a preview of what
we were doing that night. And the walking on
water was even a hit when they scampered
across the shallow plastic container that held it
quoting the scripture that all things are possible
with Christ.
I hope some of the message stuck with them.
The nal night Brett and Nannette had their
trademark banquet planned. Each camper had a
lab coat with their name and the Liahona Labs
symbol that Brett, a graphic artist, had designed.
There were safety googles to wear too.
Stepping inside the dining hall, campers were
in an isolation chamber where they were ashed
with light to ready them for the lab and a staffer,
dressed with a backpack contraption that would
have done Ghost Busters proud checked them
over.
The dining hall was decorated with hundreds of
balloons hanging from the ceiling from paper
streamers and the tables were set up by lab
groups. There was special lighting as well.
Campers donned latex gloves for their dinner,
which was served to them by the staff. There was
garlic bread -- decorated so that it looked like a
culture might be growing on it -- along with sh
patties. (Our sherman got some sh after all).
A Petri dish was lled with peas on the main
plate. There was jello with some candy sprinkled
in it in another Petri dish that really looked like
something might have been cultured in it. Blue-
berries were served in test tubes on the side and
the campers drank from beakers.
I dont know how dinner could have been any
more memorable.
Then, because we had had some rain the night be-
fore that limited possible re damage, we nished
off the evening in a spectacular way.
Each camper was given a paper lantern which
we took to a hilltop. They were lit and the three-
foot tall colored paper lanterns sailed off into the
dark night sky. It was a beautiful sight as they
were lifted up and oated away.
We nished off the camp with a nal service
Saturday morning where campers shared their
blessings from the week and ways they wanted
to experiment upon Gods word in their lives. We
sent each off with an individual sung blessing for
God to be with them.
Then it was back to the pool to wait until par-
ents came to gather them up. From my perspec-
tive, anyway, it was truly an uplifting experience.

News, Thursday, August 4, 1988.)
The rst phase of the historical
survey of buildings in Mount Ayr
is drawing to a close, but there still
is a lot of work ahead. Steve Mehls
summed up the rst week of work
in the area as one in which he was
very pleased. With the help of vol-
unteers, over 100 buildings in Mount
Ayr were inventoried. Pictures were
taken of each building and a form
lled out about when the building
was built and the uses of the building
over the years.
The United States is registering
a new AIDS case every 14 minutes,
and though patients with the disease
are living longer, it is still fatal. That
was the message of Vernon Appleby,
a registered nurse who heads the
AIDS unit of the University of Mi-
ami/Jackson Memorial Hospital in
Miami, FL. He was in Mount Ayr re-
cently to present a seminar on AIDS
and the Health Care Professional to
area health care professionals.
There was plenty of sun for the
Fun in the Sun celebration in Mount
Ayr over the weekend. The ofcial
high was over 100 degrees, but that
didnt stop the fun for the many
activities planned over the weekend.
Sidewalk sales at area businesses, a
small carnival and food and game
booths were sponsored by a number
of different organizations and there
were several events with results to
report.
Among the top beef contest
winners at the Ringgold county fair
were some entries shown by 4-H
and FFA members. Ed McCreary
showed the top commercial cow-
calf pair at the fair. Showing the

News, Thursday, July 24, 2003.)
Over and over again the riders
on the Registers Annual Great Bike
Ride Across Iowa commented about
the good things they found in Mount
Ayr. Maybe they say that in every
community. That wasnt the impres-
sion they were giving here, however.
Months of planning and many hours
of effort had made Mount Ayr a stop
to remember along the RAGBRAI
trail.
Jim Oppelt ad Jim Maynes from

cost $424,723 today.

Letters to the Editor
Dear Friend -
Having respect for those who
live and toil before us is a part of
life in rural Iowa. Their efforts are
an integral part of who we are, as a
community.
Over the years, time and
weather have taken their toll on
the graves at the Ellston Cemetery,
and it is time to step-up and honor
those who go before us. Yet, there
are currently 400 stones that are
in immediate need of repair in our
communitys cemetery. Some sim-
ply need to be leveled while others
have fallen, broken or need to be
reset.
As you might imagine, this is
a costly project. The estimated re-
pair costs are $47.50 per stone, or
approximately $19,000. Because
of the cost, we project that repairs
will need to be done in stages - per-
haps over four to ve years.
We are contacting individu-
als with relatives in this cemetery
and are working with the North-
east Ringgold County Alliance
Cemetery needs attention
(NERA) for assistance. Although
we currently have the support of
the Ringgold County Historical
Society, Union Township trustees
and NERA, we need your support
as well.
Will you please consider mak-
ing a donation to this project? A
$100 donation could fund the re-
pair of two stones and help bring
this historically-signicant place
back to dignity.
Thank you for your consider-
ation and donation. Our communi-
ty has so much to be proud of - yet
our ancestors and founders are for-
gotten. Please make a tax-deduct-
ible donation today, by sending a
check to NERA - Ellston Cemetery
Restoration Project.
Your gift is a blessing... thank
you.

close, Wimer still didnt realize
what she had accomplished. As
they announced the scores, I heard
them countdown the names, and
they hadnt said mine yet, she
said. Finally my mom came up
and gave me a big hug. Then it
started to sink in.
After qualifying for nationals
her sophomore year but failing to
place, Wimer said she had attended
the awards ceremonies but never
thought she would someday be one
of the girls on that stage. It was a
really big shocker, she said. Its
the biggest thing thats ever hap-
pened in my family.
And Wimer, the daughter of
Brian and Wendy Wimer of rural
Diagonal, was quick to point out
how much she appreciates her
familys support throughout her
rodeo career. Its a huge family
sport, she said. You spend a lot
of time together traveling to rodeos
and during the rodeos, so you re-
ally develop a special bond. This
was a good way to end it.
Along with the title of reserve
national champion, Wimer was
also rewarded with over $1,400
in scholarships, three commemo-
rative belt buckles and a custom-
made horse blanket.
Looking back over her rodeo
career, Wimer recalled all the time
she had spent on her sport. She be-
gan in rodeo six years ago while
still in junior high. After she took
up cutting four years ago, she spent
many Christmas breaks, spring
breaks and several extended week-
ends training in Columbia with
Beutenmiller. Beyond all the prac-
tice, Wimer competed in 10 high
school rodeos plus an additional
six National Cutting Horse Asso-
ciation events per year. I know I
missed out on some friend time,
especially during my senior year,
she said, but in the long run it was
worth it.
A 2013 graduate of Mount Ayr
high school, Wimer plans to at-
tend the University of Missouri
in Columbia and major in animal
science. Greg [Beutenmiller] told
me if I visited the campus I would
fall in love with it, she said, and
he was right. While she has no
plans to participate in collegiate
rodeo events, Wimer said she
will continue to be active in the
sport via events sponsored by the
NCHA. And since Beutenmiller
lives so close, she will be able to
train whenever she wants.
In the meantime, however,
Wimer is spending the rest of her
summer working as a lifeguard at
the Mount Ayr pool. Shes easy to
spot... shes the one with that bril-
liant reserve-national-champion-
ship smile.

July 29 - Last week the news
media and thousands of people
waited for hours outside of Saint
Marys hospital in London for
Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge,
to give birth to the new royal heir.
The fact that a royal birth is a pub-
lic event is nothing new in history.
To ensure that the child to be born
would truly be royal, (no substitu-
tions please), high ofcials in the
kingdom would be present to wit-
ness the birth. These same ofcials
would have been on hand to wit-
ness the wedding night as well, ev-
erything that the monarch did was
a matter of state. Even so, as in the
case of the warming pan baby,
there were always rumors of sub-
stitutions of live infants for royal
princes who had died at birth.
James Edward Francis Stuart
was born at Saint James Palace
on June 10, 1688 to King James
II and his Catholic second wife
Mary of Modena. James, a Catho-
lic, had two Protestant daughters,
Mary and Anne, from his rst mar-
riage. James was not young when
he succeeded his brother Charles II
to the throne in 1685. Parliament
and the people seemed willing to
put up with a Catholic King if it
were a temporary situation. The
birth of a male heir, who would
assume precedence over his royal
sisters, upset these plans for a line
of Protestant rulers. Immediately
rumors spread that the royal prince
had died at birth and a millers son
had been smuggled into the palace
in a warming pan. Over 70 wit-
nesses testied, including a Protes-
tant midwife, that Mary had been
delivered of a healthy male infant.
Parliament and the people chose to
believe otherwise and Parliament
began secret negotiations with the
kings oldest daughter, Mary, and
her husband, William of Orange,
the Dutch King, to supplant James
on the throne.
In 1688, fearing revolution
and remembering that his father,
Charles I, had been executed by
Parliament in 1649, James II ed
to France. William and Mary, after
signing the Declaration of Rights
of 1688, placing limitations on
their powers, were invited to come
over and take the throne. Thus,
the birth of James Edward Francis
Stuart led to his fathers deposition
from the throne and ultimately a
new constitutional framework. The
Declaration of Rights was made
into law as the Bill of Rights of
1689. These constitutional chang-
es redrew the relations between
monarch an Parliament and the
people, which lasts until this day.
Kate and Williams son, Prince
George Alexander Louis, will rule
a realm constitutionally trans-
formed by the indirect effects of
an unfortunate royal infant, James
Francis Edward Stuart.

Chapter CK P.E.O.
Chapter CK P.E.O. met Mon-
day, July 15, at 7 p.m. at the Se-
nior Citizen Center. There were 21
members present. President Ruth
McDonnell presided over the busi-
ness meeting. Chapter committee
reports were given and state and
national P.E.O. news and events
were shared. Historian Sue Buck
read from the October 15, 1957
minutes.
Teri Campbell gave the program
about the 21-day trip to South Afri-
ca she and her husband, Bob, took
in May 2012. The travel time was a
total of 34 hours to Johannesburg.
South Africa is about twice the
size of Texas and has three capi-
tals. The northern part of the coun-
try has fresh tap water and pista-
chio nuts are the leading exports.
South Africa has the cheapest
electricity in the world. The old-
est fossils in the world are found
on Table Mountain and there are
many natural craters and interest-
ing and unusual topography.
The Campbells took a three-
day safari to see the big ve
consisting of rhinos, hippos, lions,
elephants and leopards. The cape
buffalo are used for food as we do
our beef. There is good farming in
South Africa but there are many
dangerous snakes for the farmers
to contend with.
The tour group visited schools
and cooked for and fed children.
They visited an ostrich farm where
the eggs are sold for food and dec-
orations. In Cape Town the beach-
es, water and climate were picture
perfect. At the Cape of Good Hope
they saw black-footed penguins
which are the only penguin spe-
cies on the African continent. The
penguins made an unusual braying
sound.
Teri concluded South Africa is
indescribably beautiful and inter-
esting to visit.
Hostesses Nida Solliday and
Marcy Crain served peach pie and
homemade ice cream.

Mount Ayr Health
Care Center
Activities Staff
July 29 - The weather has been
beautiful this past week. Several
residents took advantage of the
weather by going out. Ruth Angus
enjoyed a family reunion Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. Maxine
Werner went to the Tingley meal
site with her daughter, Nancy, and
grandson, Race. Danny Gregg also
enjoyed going to the Mount Ayr
meal site.
Family and friends also enjoyed
coming in to eat with the residents.
Phyllis Sickels ate with Silvia
Hall. Kenneth and Virginia McAl-
exander ate with Shirley McAlex-
ander. Ada Stanley enjoyed Susan
Stanley for a lunch guest. John and
Mary Howell ate lunch with Nina
Poore.
Staff and residents would like to
welcome Phyllis Faubion to Health
Care. Phyllis comes to them from
Maple Ridge Assisted Living.
The week started off with ladies
club and mens club. In ladies club
the discussion was going on pic-
nics. Residents share about what
they would take on picnics and
the games that were played. The
ladies also shared about the deli-
cious produce in the summer that
was good to eat. All agreed that
the best time of summer is when
the fresh produce is ready to eat.
During mens club, Julie England
shared with the men on how her
family prepares their show calves
to show throughout the year. The
men thought it was a very interest-
ing subject. Both clubs enjoyed re-
freshments.
Residents enjoyed playing dif-
ferent types of games during the
week. Hangman and word games
were played this week with dif-
ferent fair words. Regular domi-
no players also gathered to play
dominoes. An outdoor game that
is well liked is bocce ball. Several
residents went outside to give it
a try. Residents get real competi-
tive during this game. The favor-
ite game, bingo, was also played
with Linda Swanson calling and
Phyllis Riggs, Harold Crawford
and Dorothy Hughes as helpers.
Winners were Betty Ruby, Loreen
Reed, Lorene Triggs, Kenny Drift-
mier, Dorothy Main, Ada Stanley,
Margaret Fletchall, Shirley McAl-
exander, Marvin Morse and Marie
Campbell and the blackout winner
was Donna Benegas.
Several gathered for happy
hour. Residents got a cocktail of
their choice. This was enjoyed by
several. The Record-News was
also read to the residents and they
like to hear their names read out of
the paper. Nail care was also done
this week as well as this also being
shopping cart week. Several resi-
dents enjoy this activity.
Bible study with Charles Hawk-
ins was well attended Tuesday.
Wednesday was church with Bill
Armstrong providing the sermon
and Camille Jackson playing pia-
no. Sunday school on Sunday was
led by Rhonda Brand.
Music is always welcomed
there. Friday the Friday Singers
came to entertain. It was nice to

portive Services clients there to en-
joy the Friday Singers with them.

ing the music.

Senior Citizen
Activity Center
July 29 - It was a wonderfully
cool weekend so hope you got to
turn off your air conditioners and
open up those windows to get
some fresh air! Unfortunately the
Activity Center does not have a
cross breeze so they have to keep
the air on most of the time but they
may see some days when the win-
dows do open up.
The Suddenly Alone program
last Thursday morning was well
attended with Max Smith giving
them information on electricity in
their homes, Dennis Pyland giv-
ing them information on plumbing
in their homes and Alicia Stogdill
giving them information about
banking accounts, fraud, etc. Un-
fortunately Bill Armstrong was
called out of town and could not be
with them but they will be having
him back later for a full program.
Snack and game night held on
Sunday, July 28, was enjoyed by
ve tables of at least ve people
each playing. Some of the regulars
were absent and they had some
who come in infrequently who
were in attendance. Lots of snacks
were brought in and a good time
was had by all.
Monday morning the Activ-
ity Center was joined by two high
school students from Westside
School in Omaha, NE. The teens,
Tess Alzuri and Kiyah Caudell,
are grandchildren of the Hoves of
Benton and are required by their
school to complete 80 hours of
community service in order to
graduate. They did two hours of
their service at the Activity Cen-
ter and helped out by cleaning out
kitchen cupboards and alphabet-
izing and verifying the large print
library books. Those at the Center
think it is a good idea for commu-
nity service to be a part of their
high school graduation process.
Mount Ayr Health Care Cen-
ter, Clearview Nursing Home
and assisted living residents will
join those at the Center on Mon-
day, August 5, from 9:30 to 10:30
a.m. Make plans to join them
for a snack and a great visit. The
LifeServe Blood Mobile will be
there Tuesday, August 6, from
2:30 to 6:30 p.m. If you have not
given blood for at least ve weeks
or if you have never given blood,
this would be a good time to start
as the LifeServe Blood Center is
where Ringgold County Hospital
obtains their blood for use. Start a
new tradition with yourself or your
family and give blood to help out
your community.
Kate Zimmerman, Ringgold
County Conservation, is asking if
there are seniors who would like to
volunteer to help man a proposed
Natural Resource Center (nature
museum). The proposed site is on
the west edge of Poe Hollow on
Highway 2 with possibly three-
hour shifts working at the site.
There would be training to answer
simple questions about the center
and would be in charge of monitor-
ing visitors. If you are interested in
volunteering for this undertaking,
contact Kate at 641-464-2787.
Right now she is just needing to
know if there are people interested
in a senior volunteer program for
the proposed center.
Those at the Center are putting
together another day trip for mid
to late August or the rst part of
September and will be giving you
more information as they get it set
up. Keep watching this article for
that.
Hopefully those of you who
are interested in programs and ac-
tivities at the Activity Center are
getting notication of those. This
article is a good way and listening
to KSIB and KSOI for their public
announcements are also another
good way. If you have e-mail and
are not getting their notications,
let them know at SCAC@iowat-
elecom.net and they will get you
on their e-mail list for notices.

July 29 - Residents had a great
time at the state fair picnic Sunday
evening. The weather was great
and they had a huge crowd. First
Things First was the entertainment
which everyone enjoyed. Resi-
dents and guests chowed down on
hot dogs, corn dogs, watermelon,
funnel cakes, wonder bars, pea-
nut butter fudge, chocolate fudge,
cherry mash candy, lemonade and
kettle corn. This writer doesnt
think anyone went away hungry. It
seems the last few years the temps
were close to 100, but just in the
upper 70s this year. The picnic was
a success once again.
Monday morning started off
with exercise and some trivia.
Scott Marcum was the Bible study
leader Monday afternoon. They
did lots of visiting over cookies
and coffee after the lesson.
Finish the Phrase was Tues-
day morning with the residents
nishing famous phrases and
song phrases. Lots of fun was had
with this game and they seemed
to know them all. Bingo winners
were Dorothy Wetzel, Darlene Gil-
bert, Jeane England, Clara Kilgore,
Evelyn Stevenson, Lorane Leonard
and Ona Knott.
Heather got the residents out
Wednesday morning for exercise
and some music trivia. Church was
Wednesday afternoon with Scott
Marcum as the minister. He had
a great sermon and residents sang
several songs to go along with his
sermon.
Everyone came to the living
room Thursday morning to play 20
questions. They had to postpone
the auction for another time due to
scheduling conicts so hopefully
Jim can do it again soon.
Exercise and trivia were Friday
morning. Evelyn Lund is the Shin-
ing Star Resident for this month
and she wanted a piece of cherry
pie as her prize. She said it was
great! The Community Singers
arrived Friday afternoon to enter-
tain. Their theme for this program
was summer songs. They sounded
great as usual and came to the din-
ing room for pie and ice cream.
All were saddened at the death
of Mabel Root. She was almost
106 years old and had the best
stories to tell about her teaching
years. Sympathy is extended to her
daughter, Pat, and grandson, Dave
Ahnen. Everyone so enjoyed tak-
ing care of Mabel and listening to
her very interesting life.

DNR water advisories
issued at two area lakes
Through July 16 this year, the
Iowa Department of Natural Re-
sources has detected potentially
unsafe toxin levels and issued
safety advisories at two area state-
managed beaches:
Lake of Three Fires Beach,
Lake of Three Fires, Taylor Coun-
ty (Water samples on 7/2/2013,
7/9/2013, and 7/16/2013)
Green Valley Beach, Green
Valley Lake, Union County (Water
sample on 7/16/2013)
Algae, which are tiny aquatic
plants, are abundant in many Iowa
lakes because Iowas waters fre-
quently have high levels of nitro-
gen and phosphorous. In the late
summer, when conditions turn hot
and sunny, algae growth can in-
crease dramatically, or bloom,
threatening recreation and causing
public health concerns.
Algae blooms are a nuisance,
resulting in green, murky water
and visible surface scum. How-
ever, certain forms of blue green
algae can produce toxins that can
make people sick and have been
documented to kill dogs, livestock,
and other animals.
Harmful algae blooms can
emerge quickly, and they may
affect different parts of a lake
differently,said Susan Heathcote,
water program director at the Iowa
Environmental Council. At any
lake, visitors should rely on their
own judgment in addition to post-
ed advisories. Avoid bright blue or
green colored water, thick scums
that look like spilled paint, or areas
that smell bad.
According to the Iowa Depart-
ment of Public Health, health im-
pacts of blue-green algae exposure
can occur through swimming,
drinking or breathing airborne
toxins from affected areas. Symp-
toms include breathing difculties
and skin rash, and children are at
greater risk than adults.

the weather is so cooperative.

too. A couple of other old papers
and a 1932 Mount Ayr paper they
found under the bathroom lino-
leum when they tore up to remod-
el. It was really interesting, had an
article of every town around, even

tainment. Taygold is taking down
some old grain storage silos and
they watched the guys working on
them 50 feet in the air. They were
using the cutting torch and walk-
ing around up there like with no
fear. The girls were not even able
to watch some times when they
walked from one to another on
something not very wide.
Thursday evening the Lions met
and they were fed by the Bolingers
and Bennetts. They had pork burg-
ers and brats that were left over

and park the campers and several
other things.

genres, participated in team build-
ing activities and worked one-on-

routine and grand champion com-
petitions. The girls received an ex-
cellent rating on their home routine
and a superior rating on their jazz
Sparks drill team attends camp
routine that they had learned in
two hours.
Ribbons were handed out dur-
ing the camp to girls that were
displaying the criteria that the MA
staff felt were deserving of the
honors. Several Mount Ayr girls
received ribbon recognition.
Rising Star Performer ribbons
were designed for beginning-level
students, and ribbons were given
for dancers showing enthusiasm
and hard work throughout the
classes. Sparks receiving Rising
Star Performer ribbons included
Megan Warin, Hannah Glenden-
ning and Sadie Frost.
All Star Performer ribbons were
awarded on attitude and talent.
Sparks receiving All Star Perform-
er ribbons included Ashton Quick,

FL, the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, TX,
and the Macys Thanksgiving Day
Parade in New York.
One more honor that was hand-
ed out at the awards ceremony in-
cluded the MA Honor Roll winners.
These are the best of the All Star
Ribbon recipients (approximately
the top 20 percent of the dancers at
the camp receive this honor). The
MA Honor Roll medal winners in-
cluded Allison Wallace and Ashton
Quick.
These students must rst be
selected as an All Star Performer.
The staff discusses the students
that they have worked with and if
they feel that the student is deserv-
ing of this honor, their names are
written down.
Kris Quick and Kalian Smith,
coaches for the team, also at-
tended many directors workshops
throughout the three days.
A 1996 graduate of Mount Ayr
Community high school has re-
ceived special commendaton from
the US Army for his service in
Iraq.
Army National Guard specialist
Bryan Miller, son of Lloyd and Su-
zanne Miller of Tingley, was cited
for his meritorious service as a mo-
tor transport operator as a member
of the 2168th Transportation Com-
pany.
According to the citation, Mill-
er completed 25 convoy missions
covering over 19,000 miles, all ac-
cident and incident free.
Miller cited for meritorious service
On February 17, 2005, Millers
convoy received small arms re
while they were stopped on a main
supply route. The citation credited
Millers quick response for allow-
ing the convoy to vacate the area
without suffering any casualties or
damage to equipment.
On May 26, 2005, Miller was
credited with pulling security for
combat lifesavers after an attack.
Miller warned the security team
about a second explosive device,
and he is credited with saving the
team from further injuries.
During his time in Iraq, Miller
also helped translate from convoy
commanders to foreign national
drivers, going so far as drawing
pictures to ensure the drivers were
aware of the commanders intent.
The full citation reads, SPC
Millers tireless efforts to assist the
convoy commander and dedica-
tion to duty have been invaluable
to the company. He is a role model
for both is subordinates and peers.
SPC Millers efforts reect great
credit upon himself, his unit, the
7th Transportation Group and the
United States Army.

This view is looking due south
from the corner where the post of-
ce is today. The sign on the cor-
ner of the building says, Mt Ayr
Bank and the clock says 4:05.
After the Mount Ayr Bank re
of November 1900, the nancial
institution moved to a frame build-
ing on the corner where the Mount
Ayr Post Ofce now sits. In 1912,
a new bank was built of brick and
stone by the Allyn brothers, own-
ers of the bank. The new bank
building opened April 17, 1913
and Miss Almeda Milligan was the
rst customer. Dr. M. F. Hannelly
was the rst depositor.
The ofcers of the bank were
George Allyn, cashier; John Allyn,
assistant cashier; and Clare Allyn,
assistant cashier and bookkeeper.
Frank Sheldon was in charge of a
real estate business connected with
the Mount Ayr Bank. A fourth Al-
lyn brother, Clint, worked under
Mr. Sheldon. The bank would re-
organize on September 1, 1915 as
a state bank and Frank Sheldon
would become its president that
same year.
The Great Depression brought
many changes to nancial institu-
tions and both Mount Ayr banks
were affected. The result was a
merger between the Mount Ayr
State Bank and Iowa State Bank.
The new bank opened its doors
July 1, 1937 as Security State Bank
and occupied the Mount Ayr State
Bank building.
In 1968, Security State Bank
sought to expand its ofce space,
hiring FM Design of Chicago to
construct an addition to the south
of the existing building. Work be-
Mount Ayr Bank on the northwest corner of the square about 1915.

gan in March 1968 but problems
arose when a wall collapsed. It was
decided to scrap original plans and
build a new bank.
The new building was con-
structed with baseboard heat, cen-
tral air-conditioning, safe deposit
boxes, storage vault, and stations
for six tellers. The exterior face
was of Indiana limestone.
Open House was held on Sun-
day July 27, 1969. Ofcers at this
time were H. M. Ross, Chairman
of the Board; Royce Davis, presi-
dent; Merlyn Allen, vice president;
Doris Hannon, cashier; and Veron-
ica Markley and Marilyn Johnson
serving as assistant cashiers.
U. S. Bank occupies this build-
ing today, although the building
has undergone another physical
transformation and many name
changes, but thats another article.

RCPH: Healthy
options are now
available at new
local restaurant
Ringgold County Public Health
(RCPH) continues their efforts to
reduce the impact of chronic dis-
ease by making healthy living eas-
ier.
A Community Transformation
Grant (CTG) allows staff to work
with local restaurants to highlight
healthy options. Greggos owner
Ryan Gregg agreed to meet with
local dietician Katie Routh, RD
LD, with whom CTG contracted to
do menu consultations.
They identied four menu
options to be considered heart
healthy, and designated those op-
tions with a heart symbol next to
the entre on the menu.
Gregg rst met with CTG staff
early in 2013 to discuss different
ideas for healthy menu options. He
agreed there is a growing demand
among consumers for healthy op-
tions. Most restaurant menus even
include a lighter or lower calo-
rie section to cater to that group of
consumers, so Ryan was receptive
to the idea.
Greggos motto is, If we have
it and you want it, well make it.
That allows a customer to ask
for a lighter version of most en-
trees. The restaurant has been busy
since it opened on July 5th, and
Gregg has received good reviews.
He mentioned Ive had lots of
compliments about all my food.
People like that it is easy to spot
the heart-healthy options on the
menu.
RCPH invites Ringgold County
to think about how to make healthy
living easier. Having healthy op-
tions available is a great step in the
right direction.
To learn more about healthy op-
tions around our communities, call
RCPH ofce at 641-464-0691 or
nd them on the web www.rcph.
net and www.facebook.com/rstop.

Budach awarded Iowa
Health Care scholarship
Molly Budach, a certied nurs-
ing assistant at Mount Ayr Health-
care Center, has been named as
an Iowa Health Care Association
Foundation scholarship recipient.
IHCA presented Budach with
the Foundations $1,000 John R.
Grubb scholarship for her out-
standing commitment to long-term
care to the residents she serves at
Mount Ayr Health Care Center.
Budach has worked at Mount
Ayr Health Care Center for ve
and one-half years. She says she
has found her time in long-term
care to be very rewarding and is
very happy with her decision to
join the healthcare eld.
Working in a long-term care
facility the past ve years has been
a very rewarding experience that
has offered me many opportuni-
ties, she said in her nominating
essay. Being able to help the resi-
dents maintain their quality of life
is one of these rewarding experi-
ences.
Kelsey Allen, registered nurse
at Mount Ayr Health Care Center,
said Budach is a joy to work with.
Molly seems to have a different
way of looking at things, which is
positive, she said. She seems to
see things in a different light and
knows how to roll with the punch-
es.
The scholarship will help Bu-
dach further her education at
Southwestern Community College
in Creston, where she is working to
become a registered nurse.

tion Foundation is supported by the

Garry Bjustrom
GARRY CECIL BJUSTROM
Garry Cecil Bjustrom was born
June 3, 1960 in Algona, Iowa,
to Francis Dale and Carole Sue
(Becker) Bjustrom. Garry gradu-
ated from Algona high school in
1979 and began working on the
family farm.
Garry moved to Mount Ayr,
Iowa to start farming in 1981. He
had farmed full-time in the Mount
Ayr area for nearly 30 years, rais-
ing row crops and managing a
cow-calf operation and swine con-
nements. Fifteen years ago he
started Southern Waste Handling,
a manure pumping business. He
also served on the board of direc-
tors for the Co-op.
On May 26, 2012 Garry was
united in marriage to Marci Sue
Mobley and lived on the farm in
Mount Ayr. Work was his hobby
and he enjoyed it. He was espe-
cially proud of his children, Bran-
don and Maggi. Over the years
Brandon and Garry had many great
memories working together in the
shop and growing BB Diesel. He
also looked forward to the time he
spent with Maggi checking cattle.
He loved hunting and shing with
his family and friends. Garry was
always there to help friends and
neighbors whenever they were in
need. He particularly looked for-
ward to his Monday night meetings
with friends at the Smart Table.
Garry loved to spend time with his
family and show them how to do
things on the farm. Recently Gar-
ry really enjoyed going to rodeos
with Marci, Ashton and Alyssa.
Garry died on Thursday morn-
ing, July 25, 2013, at the Ringgold
County Hospital in Mount Ayr at
the age of 53.
He is survived by his wife,
Marci; children, Brandon Bjus-
trom and anc Kelli Jo Wetzel of
Mount Ayr, Iowa and Maggi Bjus-
trom of Minburn, Iowa; stepdaugh-
ters, Ashton and Alyssa Johnson of
Mount Ayr, Iowa; parents, Fran-

Sue Richards was present to dis-
cuss with the board the Tingley inter-
section light and provide corrections
to previous minutes. Richards said
there was an error in previous min-
utes as she did not state the county
is under any maintenance agree-
ment with REC as they do not own
the pole at that intersection. Rich-
ards conrmed this with John Al-
len. Richards questioned if the board
looked into the agreement that was
signed once the county took over re-
sponsibility from the state.
Attorney Clint Spurrier met with
the board to review issues relating to
the Rural Improvement Zone (RIZ)
agreement.
Engineer Zach Gunsolley met
with the board to provide secondary
roads updates.
Ron Abbot met with the board
to discuss standard operating proce-
dures within the county. Four days
ago the secondary roads crew re-
moved a livestock barrier during a
bridge project on Abbots and Kevin
Kilgores property. As a result Ab-
bot said his cattle did not remain in
his pasture. Abbot requested that his
three cattle panels be replaced. He
added that if any of the rip rap wash-
es down on his property that would
be considered trespassing.
The board met with veterans af-
fairs director Gary Smith to discuss
his IPERS contributions. Smith re-
ported that his commission did ap-
prove a 3.5 percent salary increase
for FY2014. This would amount to
$399 for the year. The board and
Smith agreed to deduct $25 per pay-
check to reimburse the county for
back IPERS owed. The board also
discussed with Smith his position
with general relief. It was brought
to the supervisors attention that the
general relief and veterans affairs po-
sitions cannot be combined without
holding a special election. The board
does not wish to do this. Pennington
said he will talk to MATURA about
the situation.

provide live music too! Podium
