Kenny HEBENSPERGER, 67, of Mount Ayr, received a heart transplant Monday, June 3, after a long wait. As of Tuesday, June 4, he has been reported in "serious condition" at Mercy Hospital Medical Center in Des Moines, where surgery took place, according to Kevin WAETKE, media relations coordinator for Mercy. HEBENSPERGER has been on a waiting list since August 1995 and had been in Mercy Hospital since December 1995.

A smoke alarm that was in working order and quick thinking by Kory KLOMMHAUS probably saved the lives of KLOMMHAUS and his wife Debbie, when an early Sunday morning, June 2, fire completely destroyed the farmhouse they were renting from Debbie's father, Lyle FARIS. It was a fire alarm going off about 3:30 a.m. that awakened the couple and alerted them to smoke which has engulfed the downstairs of the two-story, eight-room house located approximately seven miles south of Mount Ayr on Highway 169 and back east one-half mile on P-55.

A former Kellerton resident has been assigned to a new United Methodist Church assignment. The Rev. Raymond E. DOSER of Zearing has been appointed pastor of the Bussey and Hamilton United Methodist Churches effective June 30.

DOSER is currently pastor of the Bethel United Church in Zearing and the McCallsburg Presbyterian Church where he has served for the past five year. A native of Kellerton, DOSER is a graduate of the Clinton Community College in Clinton. He and his wife, Dola Mae, are parents of two grown children and Renee, 15.
