Academics

One person was in the top 7% of the graduating class, Clayton Brady.

Two of the four Della Vedova Scholarship winners were from Lovilia, Clayton Brady and Devon Gottschalk.

Three achieved a 3.5 grade point average and did well in reading and math on the ACT and received the citizenship award, Shelby Wuebker, Clayton Brady, and Devon Gottschalk.

Shelby and Devon earned many scholarships and can be proud of their efforts through their high school years.

Shelby also won an elite letter which means the student earned 10 fine arts or 10 athletic letters or 15 letters between the two.  That is lots of sports and band practices etc. Congratulations!

Sports

Kile Overmyer qualified for the state track meet.  He finished third in the state in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.26. He also ran in the distance medley relay which landed in seventh place. Later running in the 4X200 he and his three team mates broke the Albia school record but were able to only get a ninth place finish at state.  Finally, he ran in the 4×100 and his team came in fifteenth place. Kile’s mom is Angie, and his grandparents are Ron and Judy Conner.

The 4×400 relay team included Clayton Brady and they finished twelfth in the race.

Katie Curran was the only girl from Albia’s track team to qualify for the state meet.  She competed in the 100-meter dash but did not make the finals.  Katie’s mom is Mary Lou and her grandparents are Jim and Shirley Beary.

Congratulations to you all for your great showing!

Lovilia Clean up the City day

This will be Saturday, June 13, from 7am-11am.  A dumpster will be placed on the street near the post office.  Items must be delivered to the dumpster during those hours.

Go to city hall this week to buy tags for items that are charged for at the landfill.  This includes appliances, TVs, computers, water heaters.  If you are not sure if you need a tag stop at city hall.

The City Code of Ordinances (laws) allows for nuisance abatement and residents who do not clean up their property could be fined or other costs charged to them.  A copy of the ordinance can be viewed in the city hall window and the post office.

Reminder: no one will come to pick up your trash.  You must take it to the dumpster yourself.

Let’s make our town an attractive place to live.
