South Pacific thrills Washington as rain keeps coming
In Washington Iowa this week the Community Theatre staged South Pacific with Joyce Ball of Lone Tree leading the cast. A curtain tore mid act prompting 25 crew members to repair while the show continued. Meanwhile state inspectors flagged Iowa nursing homes and Medicaid funds face a $3.1 million potential fine. Local events included Karol Krotz named District Park Queen at a Pork Producers banquet, Grace Kerr honored for senior citizen service, Kirkwood Community College recognizing seven outstanding seniors, and 4-H camp at Lake Darling hosting about 100 fourth to sixth graders. The Journal held a carrier contest for new subscriptions with Bryan Cuffel winning top prize.
