Effective January 1, 2004, the cooperative will merge operations with Southwest Iowa Service Cooperative located in Corning and Stanton to become Southwest Iowa Rural Electric Cooperative, bringing to a close 62 years that the cooperative has had the Rideta name.

Whole-Hearted Ministries located outside of Diagonal was welcomed by the Chamber of Commerce with a ribbon cutting on Friday. The retreat site is organized by Gary and Bonnie JAECKLE and is a place for extended intensive retreats for youth, men and women and church groups.

A Mount Ayr Driver won the Figure 8 races at Adel Saturday night, sweeping to victory in a class of 42 cars. Brett SHIELDS of Mount Ayr drives number 8 in the Figure 8 racing. With the win Saturday, SHIELDS is now ranked second in point total going into the season finale Saturday at Adel.
