During a recent government meeting, officials discussed plans to restock a local lake with trout, following community interest and support. The lake, which had been restocked the previous year, has seen a steady number of anglers, indicating a healthy fishing environment. However, budget constraints prevented immediate restocking this year. Community members expressed a desire to contribute, leading to a significant donation that facilitated the upcoming restocking, scheduled for the next few weeks.
In addition to the restocking, plans for a youth fishing day were announced. This event will allow children and their families to fish without needing a license, promoting community engagement and outdoor activity. Local fishermen will assist participants, particularly those under 14, ensuring a safe and educational experience.
The meeting also touched on employment opportunities within the community. Officials confirmed that while there is no need for additional counselors, they are seeking seasonal laborers and help in the bike shop.
Lastly, the council highlighted ongoing educational support for local youth, including after-school homework help for kindergarten through eighth grade, although attendance among teenagers for academic support remains low. The meeting concluded with an invitation for community members to stay informed through social media and the official website.
