Fishing derby at Honey Creek Resort

CENTERVILLE — Optimist clubs from across Iowa will be hosting their annual Iowa District Conference at Honey Creek Resort at Rathbun Lake July 29-Aug. 1. The clubs would like to invite all kids age 16 and under to a free fishing derby on Saturday beginning at 8 a.m. Prizes will be awarded in a number of categories to both boys and girls. Kids may bring their own fishing poles if they like or some will be available for use. This event is the first held by Iowa District Optimists during their convention. It is not necessary to pre-register, just show up, put the line in the water and have fun.

So, the question this week is, “Will it stay or will it go?” The United States Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. wants to close three Farm Service Agency offices in southern Iowa, which includes the FSA office in Centerville, and consolidate the operations in order to save money. Tuesday afternoon a meeting was held at Faith United Methodist Church to allow farmers and other producers who use the Centerville FSA office to make comments about the closing to John R. Whitaker, state executive director Iowa FSA. Many questioned if the meeting Tuesday was necessary because the decision had already been made.

A. Yes, because Washington will listen.
B. No, because the decision to close the Appanoose County FSA office has already been made.
