Hired to be the new superintendent in the Clearfield school district for the 2004-05 school year was David DUDREY. DUDREY will replace Camille JACKSON, who is retiring at the end of the current school year.

It's time for the 45th annual spring concert by the Ringgold Singers and tickets are on sale.

Ringgold County Sheriff's office and Ringgold County Ambulance were called to an accident on Highway 2 and 169 in front of Glendenning Motors late Friday afternoon. Ashley HULL, 14, of rural Mount Ayr, was crossing the highway when she walked into the path and was struck by a 1988 Chevy pickup driven by Michael RUSSO of Kellerton. This is the second pedestrian-vehicle accident in less than a year. In November three students were hit by a car when walking on the sidewalk after school.

Heritage Park tenants, along with many Mount Ayr residents, bid farewell and good luck to the last of the original tenants, Hazel SMITH as she made Heritage Park her home for the last 27 years, since it opened in March of 1977. SMITH was honored with cards, flowers and cake. She will be moving to Maple Ridge Assisted Living.

Katy KIMBLEY was named the American Choral Directors Association winner as the top vocal music student at Mount Ayr Community high school at the annual spring vocal conert Monday night.
