RETOLD OLD NEWS

Mount Ayr Record-News
Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa
Thursday, June 29, 1995

Lisa Wilson, Mount Ayr

After several years of teaching, Bill HOHLFELD of Mount Ayr turned down an opportunity to be scene designer and technical director for the Des Moines Playhouse. It certainly was something he would have enjoyed doing, he says, but decided against it and chose to continue teaching. He never will know where the Playhouse job would have led, but he has stored up some very good, positive memories of his 41 years of teaching. Thirty-one of these years were spent at Mount Ayr Community high school. As the 1994-95 school year concluded, his retirement from teaching has become a reality.

A case on what to do with parts of a gun determined by the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to be illegal had action in Ringgold county district court Monday. A Colt AR-15 rifle modified with M-16 parts to make it a "machine gun" in ATF terminology was seized in the arrest of a juvenile in Mount Ayr in November 1994 by the Mount Ayr police department. The juvenile faced several charges in the incident. Richard O'DELL of Kellerton had petitioned for the retunr of the gun, which Mount Ayr police chief Todd JACKSON had sent to the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation and the ATF for inspection. The ATF report said the gun was illegal for a citizen to possess without special permits and due to extensive modification could not be changed back to a legal weapon.

An open house and ribbon cutting ceremony was held at the new South Central Alternative Learning Center in Mount Ayr recently.
