RETOLD OLD NEWS

Mount Ayr Record-News
Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa
Thursday, June 27, 1996

Lisa Wilson, Mount Ayr

Two area musicians -- Mount Ayr Community high school junior-to-be, Jamie HAIDSIAK of Clearfield, and John McGILLIGAN, elementary and junior high school band instructor at MACS - are scheduled to travel to Europ in July through Iowa's Ambassadors of Music program. The trip for McGILLIGAN will come despite emergency surgery done Monday morning. As of Tuesday night, he had the go ahead to continue on the trip - with the provision that he not lift anything heavy. Someone is primed to help him with his suitcase for the duration of the trip.

HAIDSIAK will be one of eight area students experiencing new cultures and musical opportunities as part of a group of more than 450 choral and band students from across Iowa who will be going.

The rural Redding residence of [the] Larry OVERHOLTZER family was damaged by lightning which struck late Sunday afternoon, June 23. When the Mount Ayr Volunteer Fire Department arrived, they discovered that the bolt hadn't set the house on fire but did split an eaves board in the front of the house and the siding by the front porch.

At the Mike FORD farm, one mile south of Tingley, a fallen tree put a hole in the corner of the roof of the family's house. Even more damage occurred when rain came and went through the hole, dampening furnishing inside.

A Ringgold county poet is one of nearly 300 Iowa poets who had poems chosen for publication in "Lyrical Iowa," the Iowa Poetry Association's annual anthology. Representing Ringgold county in the anthology is Bernice ABARR of Redding.
