Buck Creek Cafe rebounds after near destruction by fire
Raga Ramblin reported Buck Creek Cafe reopened after a major fire last July 21. The cafe has been renewed with rearrangement, and on Friday most equipment was on hand as doors opened to customers. By Sunday most issues were solved and service improved for locals and lake visitors. Dust along Moravia’s main street drew concerns as heavy truck traffic from grain and coal passes increased dust clouds, with an unofficial count of 48 large trucks observed. County officials seek federal road funding around the lake area, while Moravia considers street plans tied to paving of North and East streets for a cost-effective bid. Former Moravia Mayor Reg Angel recalled a speeding incident with a horse and buggy. Secretary of Agriculture Butz addressed reporters in Des Moines about farm moisture needs and warned against reliance on “free lunches” and unsustainable government aid amid dry conditions affecting crops and prices.
