W e all take our security for granted at times, whether at a national level or right here at home. And that is truly unfor-tunate. Meanwhile, most of us find ourselves supportive of

funding for police, fire and rescue efforts. Those who don’t should be ashamed. As a youth, I was involved in a tornado in my hometown of Algona. My family’s home was on the edge of the twister’s course, and if left a path of destruction. I vividly remember the many police, fire and EMS

department members who were on the scene immediately, taking care of those who needed it. I can only imagine the chaos that would have erupted had it not been for these individuals. I certainly hope that my family and I never have to take advantage of emergency services. But this safety doesn’t happen by accident. Many public employees and volunteers work tirelessly to offer their time to be sure that we feel secure. They truly do “protect and serve,” and we owe countless thanks to these staffs for the work they do. This month’s cover story takes

us inside the police and fire/EMS departments to learn what’s new in their day-to-day operations. We hope this story will give you an even deeper respect for these fine people. So next time you see one of these folks on the street, make sure you show your appreciation. And let’s hope that we won’t ever need their services.

We’re hiring!As some of you may know, we are looking for a sales professional to lead our advertising sales for Appanoose Living and possibly one or two other magazines. We would prefer to hire someone with print advertis-ing sales experience, but this is not essential. What is essential is a pas-sion for this community, strong organizational skills, a solid work ethic and a desire to help others. We would consider employee or contract status, full or part time. For more information, shoot me an email at [email protected] or call me at 515-953-4822, ext. 305. Thanks for reading.

By Brooke Sherrard

P olice and firefighters are there to help people in their worst moments. In Centerville, almost all of them started

as volunteers, and many still are volunteers. The men — and one woman — who protect the city also participate in many programs to educate the public on how to stay safe.

Centerville Police DepartmentThe Centerville Police Department cur-rently has 11 sworn officers, nine of whom take care of the day-to-day police business in the city, and two of whom are assigned to the South Central Iowa Drug Task Force and are funded by a grant. Their leader, Police Chief Tom Demry, has been a police officer since 1993. He says he was inspired to become an officer when he was in junior high, and his uncle, Gerald Banks, was elected Appanoose County sher-iff. “Pretty much from that point forward, it was all I wanted to do,” he says. Two recent changes are the reinstitu-tion of the K-9 program and the school officer program. The department obtained a K-9 in July 2011, about five years after the previous K-9 retired. Boomer, a golden retriever, was acquired through donations, Demry says. Boomer works with Officer Jeremy Veach. May marks the end of the second full year Officer Gary Buckallew has been in the school officer system. “Years ago we had an officer that did that, but as times change, budgets change, and we were not able to have that program,” Demry says.

Centerville Fire Chief Mike Bogle has been a member of the department since 1988.

Then the department received a grant to fund an officer working in the schools. The grant will run out shortly, but Demry says the depart-ment and the school district have worked out an agreement to share costs after that. One of Buckallew’s projects is the yearly bicycle rodeo, which the police department has offered for decades. Once a year, students at Lakeview Elementary bring their bikes to school and learn about bicycle safety from officers. Officers also inspect and register the bikes. “Overall, it teaches kids safety and some responsibility,” says reserve officer Robert Earhart, who served at the most recent bicycle rodeo April 30. “It’s not always just fun riding a bicycle; there’s some responsibility with that.” The department currently has eight reserve officers who have the same powers as full-time officers when they are on duty. Demry himself started as a reserve officer in 1990, the first year the program existed. Demry says volunteering as a reserve offi-cer is a time-consuming commitment, requir-ing monthly training and ride-alongs. Reserve officers help out with search warrants, natural disasters, traffic control, emergency situations and events like Pancake Day. Volunteers spend their own money on their equipment, including

guns. “We buy them a uniform, and that’s about it,” he says. Becoming a reserve officer is a great first step to becoming a full-time officer, Demry says. Six of the 11 current officers started as a

reserve. Demry says the most memorable thing that has happened while he was on the job was just a matter of months ago, when Master Sergeant Travis Riddick died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. Riddick graduated from Centerville

High School in 1990, and his father, John Riddick, is a former Centerville chief of police. Demry says he was overwhelmed by the response on the January night when police-men, firefighters and sheriff’s deputies escorted Riddick’s body to Centerville for his funeral. “It didn’t matter if you were the poorest person or the richest person in town, they were out there to support,” Demry says. “I guess to me, living here all my life, that’s what Centerville’s about. Out of all the cases I’ve been involved in, that probably touched me the most.”

Centerville Fire DepartmentThings have changed since Fire Chief Mike Bogle joined the Centerville Fire Department in 1988. “Back in the days that I started, they gave you a coat, a helmet and a pair of boots, and you went to work,” he says. Now the educational requirements for new firefighters before they can fight a structure fire are extensive. Bogle says it can take a year to 18 months before a new firefighter is allowed to perform many of the tasks, and firefighters now all receive some EMS training. Right now, the department has three full-time employees and roughly 27 volunteers. The three full-time firefighters, Bogle, Captain Tom Sheston and Captain Vern Milburn, work rotating shifts of 24 hours on and 48 hours off so the city and the surrounding response area has coverage every hour, year-round. “The volunteers supplement that, and once a volunteer has enough time and training, he or she can come in and cover shifts for vacation,

sick leave, things of that nature,” Bogle explains. The department covers the city of Centerville and some rural areas. The rest of the county is covered by the all-volunteer fire departments of Mystic, Moravia, Moulton and Cincinnati, with some western portions of the county covered by the Seymour department. These departments often do trainings together throughout the year, plus they fre-quently cooperate on calls. “We have formal mutual-aid agreements

signed by each city so if we have to call for help, or they have to call for help, there’s not a logisti-cal issue, we can automatically go,” Bogle says. Each October, for National Fire Prevention Week, the firefighters present fire safety pro-grams to children from preschool through third grade. The firefighters teach the children to draw escape plans of their houses and share them with their families. “We want them to share with Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa,” Bogle says. “It’s important for everyone to know what they need to do in the event of a fire.” Bogle says Fire Prevention Week was great, but then the firefighters wouldn’t see the chil-dren again for a year. So three years ago, the department added the Adopt a Firefighter Program, in which firefighters visit each second-grade classroom each month. The children get a taste of what it is like to be a firefighter by trying on firefighting gear, taking a test and doing train-ing exercises. A couple of years ago, the department received a grant to purchase roughly 3,000 smoke detectors. “People can call us, and we’ll come and install smoke detectors free in their home,” Bogle says. “And we’ve got batteries if they just need their batteries changed.” The firefighters also offer safety assessments in which they inspect homes for possible fire hazards. The department recently added a fire extinguisher training program that is available to businesses or other organizations. Bogle says the firefighters bring in a fire extinguisher train-ing prop and train employees at no cost to the business.

Volunteer firefighters are paid $12 per call, regardless of whether the call takes an hour or 15 hours. Volunteering can, however, offer a career path. Bogle says several people who have volunteered with the department have gone on to career departments and even to state and federal agencies. Bogle says the hardest part about being a firefighter in a small town is that he almost always knows the person or family whose structure is on fire. “Ninety-nine percent of the time when you respond to what-ever the incident is, you know the people who are having a bad day,” Bogle says. “I can remember several times knowing we couldn’t put it out, and it was going to burn down, and knowing you know the people and you’re going to see them at Hy-Vee the next day.”

Blazing trailsJacqueline Crouse, who started vol-unteering with the department in November 2011, is one of the new-est firefighters. She also happens to be the only woman. Crouse and her husband had no ties to Centerville before they moved here last summer from Buffalo, N.Y., with their two school-age children. Every time the subject of Iowa came up, they had a running joke that they would move there someday and get away from city life.

“You’d see Iowa in the movies and you’d say, ‘That’s where I want to live,’ ” she says. In the past year, she says, both of their grown children visited them in Iowa and decided to move here as well, so the family is together again. She worked in EMS in New York and often worked around fires, which she says got her inter-ested in becoming a firefighter. Crouse calls walking into the fire department to volunteer the scariest move she has ever made — but the best. “It’s a little hard to walk into a place like this as a woman and say, ‘I want to be a firefighter,’ and have everybody look at you and say, ‘Who is this chick?’ But I think they’re getting used to me,” she says. She says she mentally pre-pared herself not to be accepted as a woman but was pleasantly surprised. “Seeing them accept me was great,” she says. “There’s a great group of guys here.” Crouse says she hopes her example will show little girls they too can become firefighters, even though it may be out of the norm, especially for more rural areas. “The city where I come from, there’s all kinds of women firefight-ers,” Crouse says. “It’s not even looked at differently.”

Jacqueline Crouse, a recent addition to the fire department, is currently its only female firefighter.

What do you like best about Mr. Montgomery?

Allison Williams:“If we are having an issue with a lesson, he’ll push the due date back.”

Jonathan Eastlick:“I like him because he explains things so we actually know what the heck we’re doing.

Cheyenne Rowley: “He’s the only (teacher) you can actually joke with.”

Katarina Stone:“He lets us have free time and gives us work days.”

W hen Richard Mont-gomery, 29, was growing up in Alaska,

he had no reason to think he would end up in southern Iowa. Montgomery, who teaches pre-algebra, algebra I, geom-etry, algebra II, pre-calculus and Advanced Placement calculus, has now taught at Moravia Junior/Senior High School for six years. He was in his second year of teaching in Metlakatla, an Indian reservation on an island in south-east Alaska, when he met his wife, Melinda, a sign language inter-preter. By the next year, she was out of a job when the student she worked with moved off the island. He and Melinda, who is from South Dakota, took a look at the Midwest. His parents already owned a house in Albia where they planned to retire, but had not moved in yet. The couple decided to move into that house and look for jobs in this area. “That’s why the random choice of Iowa — the house is what brought us here, and now (Iowa is) home,” Montgomery says. After a year, they moved into a home of their own in Ottumwa, where Melinda teaches at an ele-mentary school. Montgomery’s parents have since moved into their house in

Albia. His younger brother, Danny Montgomery, also moved to the area and works as an accountant in Centerville. Montgomery studied for his bachelor’s degree at the University of Idaho and recently completed a master’s in school administration through Iowa State University. He says he chose math as his subject because he always enjoyed it. He says one of the reasons he became a teacher was so he could continue his summer job as a char-ter guide in Alaska. He only recent-ly gave it up because of his growing family. He has three daughters: Chloe, 8, who lives in Washington; McKenna, 3; and Mady, 10 months. He says his favorite thing about his job is being around stu-dents every day. “I like humor, and I like things not being boring, and I like the conversation,” he says. “They do drive me crazy sometimes, but I do like joking around with them.”

A round the world, wars are fought and blood is shed over religion; different

denominations quarrel over who is right or wrong in their faith. But in Centerville, those small differences do not matter, especially when it comes to the kids. For about seven years, three local churches — First Presbyterian, First Evangelical Lutheran and Drake Avenue Christian — have partnered for a community vacation Bible school which is returning the first week in August. It’s a “good witness to the community that churches can work together,” says VBS director Becky Johnson. About 50 kids, from pre-school to sixth grade, get together for Bible classes, games, dinner, singing and crafts. Along with the fun, though, they are serious about a new mission every year. “Every day we hear about the mission project that is chosen for that year, and we receive offering,” says Johnson. “On Sunday kids go around to churches and sing some of the songs they’ve learned. And if anybody in the churches want to give to the mission project, they can do that, too.” Last year their efforts raised $1,200 for a tornado-torn Christian church in Joplin, Mo., to build a new roof. “We try to do something that’s visual for the kids to see, so a car-penter had made a miniature mock

building, and we would add pieces to the roof as the kids brought in their money,” Johnson explains. “So throughout the week, it’s amazing how it doubled, tripled and quadrupled the amount of money.”

In years past, the VBS kids raised funds for a Native American school and shower wells in Africa. This year’s theme is “SonRise National Park,” so the mission will likely be an environmental one, Johnson says. But the group of volunteers who organize the VBS each year haven’t decided on the project specifics yet. The group meets every Tuesday night from 5:30 - 7 p.m. at First Evangelical Lutheran Church, 410 E. Sheridan Ave., starting June 5. They need more volunteers to help with plan-ning, decorating and organizing. Call Becky Johnson at 895-3277 for more information or to volunteer. Experiencing VBS is a rewarding way to spend one’s time, she says. “You plant a seed and it grows within these kids and it expands. It’s a joy, it’s an exhaustion and it’s an exhiliaration, but every year I want to do it again.”

Former funeral home now houses Kelly’s cars

Mustang mansion

Contact Darren at 515-953-4822 ext. 304 or [email protected] to recommend someone for an upcoming issue of “What’s In Your Garage?”

W hen Scott Kelly first decided he wanted a Shelby Mustang, he

couldn’t afford one. Now he has four — plus seven other rare Mustangs. “I really don’t have any run-of-the-mill Mustangs; they’re all kind of special Mustangs,” Kelly says. He and wife, Jackie, both grew up in this area and then moved to Denver for 17 years, where he worked as the CFO of a broker-age firm and collected the cars. He says his wife enjoyed the cars, too, and even raced them sometimes. “It’s not very often you find a wife that’ll let you have 11 Mustangs, but she’s always really been into it,” Kelly says. Ten years ago they returned to Centerville so their two young chil-dren could grow up in a small town around their extended families. The Kellys found a way to accommodate their 11 Mustangs when they purchased the property at 416 E. Maple St., which had been converted into the Johnson Funeral Home in 1938. They turned it back into a family home, as it was when J.A. White built it in 1911. The original carriage house had been expanded on each side,

allowing Kelly to store up to eight Mustangs in it. He converted an addition to the house that used to store caskets into a garage for the other three. Kelly has eight Mustangs from the 1960s, one from the 1970s and two from the 1990s. He says he drives the 1993 Cobra and the 1994 Cobra Indy Pace Car sometimes during the summer but has barely driven the rest since moving back. “It was a lot easier in Denver because we knew a lot more Mustang people,” Kelly says. “My cars tend to sit a lot now.” His first Mustang was a 1966 Fastback he used as a daily driver in Denver. After several years of driving it in all kinds of weather, he sold it. These days he mostly drives a Bronco and has transferred much of his passion from restoring Mustangs to restoring his historic home, which he says has been virtually his full-time job for the past decade. Kelly is done buying Mustangs and might even sell some soon. He says many of them have quintupled in value since he bought them, and he plans to cash in on his invest-ment to cover college tuition for his children, Alex, 14, and Grant, 13.

Scott Kelly renovated a room in his home to serve as a garage for this 1968 GT 500 KR Shelby Mustang and two other Mustangs.

T he Appanoose County Historical Society’s first official meeting was in May

1928. Mrs. C.S. Hickman presided over the meeting that organized the society with its first members. Among the people who signed up were the names Haynes, Beck, Elgin, Sawyers, Cree, Farrington, Frankel, Payne, Strickler, Wooden and Vermiliya — all names that are now prominent in the history that they pledged to preserve. The first president elected was Miss Carrie Treon. The first “museum” was in the history room at the Drake Library. Hundreds of artifacts were donated from the era of the earliest settlers to the county. The group met only once a year until 1931. After that, the group appeared to have gone dormant. The catalog of artifacts shows many of the items were “returned” or “withdrawn” over the years to follow. Fast-forward to 1966. Interest was renewed in reviving the Appanoose County Historical Society. By 1968, the group had gathered many charter members. In 1973, the county board of supervisors deeded over the old jail and sheriff’s residence to the group. The property also became home to the Bland cabin from the Plano area.

In 1986, the society published an Appanoose County history book, which was an enormous undertaking done by a large group of volunteers. The 1903 Centerville Post Office building was vacated in 1977 as the post office moved to its new location. The Historical Society purchased the building for a larger museum. After renovations and creation of new exhibits, they held the grand opening on Labor Day in 1988. During this time, Society President Leon Kauzlarich was the driving force to get the project done. Kauzlarich was inducted into the Iowa Volunteer Hall of Fame for his efforts at the museum. But there were many others who deserve credit for doing many of the exhibits and set up as well. As time marches on, build-ings need continual maintenance. Recently, the beautiful 1903 build-ing was showing signs of its age. With a generous gift from the Tom King estate, the society was able to make some badly-needed improvements. Plus, with the addi-tion of some new exhibits and new placement and signage on former exhibits, the visitors will enjoy a completely new experience. The museum will reopen to visitors on June 1, with a grand re-opening celebration to be held June 23 - 26.

The start of the Historical Society

health Q&A

Information provided by Ray Tresemer, P.T., Tresemer Physical Therapy Inc., 612 E. Franklin St., Centerville, 641-856-2515.

Q: Is back pain common?A: Many studies have shown that eight out of every 10 adults has experienced at least one epi-sode of significant back pain. In my clinical experi-ence, back pain is not prevalent in only those who do heavy work. Every walk of life is affected by it.

Evidence is being documented that many instances of back pain are due to repetitive and cumulative trauma. I give the example of bending a piece of wire. Bend it enough times and it will break. Same with our tissues — move them in injurious ways enough times, the tissue may fail. Good body mechanics and posture are excellent fundamental prac-tices that can assist in preventing back pain or limiting back pain. Good standing posture is placing our body in good alignment — ear, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle are in a straight line. We have three normal spinal curves. Each curve should be present but not exaggerated. Good body mechanics includes avoiding putting abnormal stresses on our spines. Carry loads close to your hips. Avoid bending at the waist to pick up objects by squatting down. Always avoid bending and twisting the trunk at the same time.

The spine is incredibly complex and is made up of 24 moveable seg-ments and the structures between each. An injury can occur at any level. There are exercises and other treatments that can be helpful in treating and preventing back pain. Contact your physical therapist for information. He or she has extensive education and experience in treating spinal pain and injury. Remember, you have a choice in which therapist you wish to see.

Information provided by Terry Terrones, RN, MSN, CHPN, HCI Care Services of South-Central Iowa, 103 E. Van Buren St., Centerville, 856-5502, www.hcicareservices.org.

Q: What is hospice?A: Hospice is a special concept of care, focused on providing comfort, relieving pain and offering support for persons with life-limiting health condi-tions and their families. Hospice provides pain and symptom relief, as well as emotional and spiritual support, typically in the last six months of life. Hospice offers a team approach to care of those facing a serious, life-limiting illness. Working with your physician, a skilled team of nurses, hospice aides, social workers, volunteers, spiritual care counselors, therapists and a hospice physician provide care and comfort. The hospice team is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to meet the needs of our patients and families. Hospice care heralds back to the idea of “house calls” — the hospice team brings care to the patient wherever he or she calls home, including personal residences and long-term care facilities. Under Medicare and Medicaid, all care costs related to the life-limiting illness are covered (including durable medical equipment) except for a small percentage of pharmacy costs. Services are also covered by most private insurance policies. However, HCI Hospice Care Services recognizes that not everyone has access to insurance. Each year, HCI Foundation provides hundreds of thousands of dollars in charitable care each year, assuring care is available to everyone who needs it.

I n the past, many people stayed at one job, or at least one com-pany, for almost their entire

working lives. When they retired, they could typically count on a pension, the value of which was based on their years of service and earnings. But today, workers can expect to hold several different jobs in their life-time, and to a great extent, pen-sions have been replaced by 401(k) plans, which place much of the fund-ing responsibility on employees. So, assuming you will change jobs at some point, and you do have a 401(k), what should you do with it? Here are your basic choices: If you cash out your plan, your company will likely pay you 80 percent of your account value, withholding the rest for federal taxes. And if you’re younger than age 59½, you may well be slapped with a 10 percent IRS tax penalty. Even worse, you’ll have lost a key source of your retirement income. Still, if you are leaving your employer involuntarily, and you need the money, cashing out your 401(k) is an option you may need to consider. company’s plan. When you leave a company, your employer may allow you to keep your money in your existing 401(k). You may want to choose this route if you like the investment choices available in your plan. However, you might be caught by surprise if the company decides to change investment options. Furthermore, some employers may charge former employees fees to maintain their 401(k) plans.

your new employer’s plan. If your new employer has a 401(k) and allows transfers, you could roll the money from your old plan into the new one. This might be an attractive option if you like the investment options in your new employer’s plan. an IRA. You may find several advantages to rolling your 401(k) over to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). First, your money will still have the potential to grow on a tax-deferred basis. Second, you can invest your funds in virtu-ally any investment you choose — stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit (CDs), etc. Third, if you own more than one 401(k) account, you could find it advantageous to consolidate them into a single IRA, thereby making it easier to allocate and monitor your retirement assets. And fourth, IRAs may give you greater flexibility if you plan to pass money to your children. In fact, if your child inherits your IRA, he or she has the option of stretching withdrawals over the child’s entire lifetime, rather than taking the money as a lump sum. (If you do transfer funds from your old 401(k) to an IRA, be sure to use a “direct rollover” to avoid the possibility of triggering unwanted taxes.) Before making any moves with your 401(k), consult with your tax and financial advisors. By looking closely at your options, and by get-ting professional guidance, you can make the choice that’s right for you.

E veryone knows summer is on the way when seasonal res-taurants start to open. One

of my favorites is Captain’s Landing, so I made plans to visit not long after it opened for the summer. The restaurant started in 2005 and fills a niche at Rathbun Lake. Located north of the dam, it serves inexpensive meals, snacks and des-serts to lake lovers from April through the end of September. I chose the Uncle Lute burger, a loose-meat sandwich, with ketch-up, mustard, tomato and onions. The sandwich was delicious, but I couldn’t stop wondering about the name. So I asked around and learned the sandwich is named after Lute Dawkins, who used to run Dawkins Hamburger Shop off the Centerville square. Terry Tuttle, who owns Captain’s Landing with his wife, Karen Tuttle, grew up hanging out in that sandwich shop because his grandmother’s sister, Grace, was married to Dawkins. The memory of Dawkins’ shop also remains alive in the pies. Grace made 20 to 40 pies a day in her kitchen to sell in the shop. Nowadays the “homemade pies” have to be made in the restaurant, of course, but they are made from scratch there. Pie is $2.59 a slice, or $11.49 for a whole pie, which can be ordered 48 hours in advance. I, however, went with the ice cream. Captain’s Landing has soft-

serve vanilla and chocolate ice cream with a wide range of top-pings. I tried one of the specialty sundaes for $3.49. That’s the small size, but it was so big the larger size should probably be shared. Like the restaurant as a whole, the specialty sundaes have a nauti-cal theme. I tried the Rocky Dock, topped with hot fudge, marshmal-low and peanuts. Some of the other sundaes that sounded tanta-lizing were the Turtle Beach, with hot fudge, caramel and sugared pecans, and the Cherry Dory, with cherry topping, brownie bites and sprinkles.

Captain’s Landing serves many types of sandwiches, including a reuben, Philly beef, pork loin, BLT on rye, codfish and barbecue. Sometime I’ll have to go back on a Friday night for the “smokin’ grilled special,” which consists of pork loin or chicken, baked beans, coleslaw, fries or corn on the cob for $8. Last but not least, Captain’s Landing serves Hunt Brothers Pizza. What could be more con-venient for groups camping out at the lake than ordering pizza?

senior living By Kristen Sheston

Assisted living vs. living at home

W hen looking into an assisted living facil-ity for yourself or a

loved one, it is not uncommon to be a little surprised when you get down to the financial aspect. A common reaction is, “That’s a lot of money. More than it would cost me to stay at home.” I think when you look a little closer at all the costs of each they are much closer than originally thought. When figuring monthly expenses of living at home, most people add up rent/mortgage, utilities and food. However, that’s not giving the whole picture. People often forget to include all of the other expenses that creep up. For example, housekeeping, health monitoring services, lawn care, property taxes and insur-ance, trash removal and regular upkeep of a home. Not to men-tion 24-hour security services and daily onsite health aide visits which most seniors just don’t have at home. Then there’s social activities and entertainment. This might be the first place seniors turn to trim their budget, but if that’s the case, it may be costing them in the long run. That social interac-tion, outings, physical exercise, etc. is what keeps seniors sharp, both mentally and physically. It’s really the difference between sur-viving and thriving. In an assisted living facility, all of these things are included in the basic rent, in addition to weekly shopping, transportation to and from local

appointments and three well-bal-anced meals each and every day. The main thing to remember here is quality of life. Our loved ones have worked very hard to get to where they are. Don’t they deserve every opportunity to relax and enjoy this phase of their lives? Why not let someone else do the things that they don’t enjoy so that there is more time for them to do the things they love? Assisted living is a unique environment where seniors can do just that. In any event, be sure to look closely at costs and amenities included for a given assisted living community. In some instances prospective tenants can do a sort of “test drive” by staying a couple of nights to be sure that it’s a good fit before making a full move. After the sticker shock has worn off, most families and pro-spective tenants see that assisted living really is a great value.

Drake is a duck billboard which recognizes the historical relationship between former Governor Francis Drake and Centerville. Francis Drake, a Centerville native, had a successful career as a Lieutenant Colonel, Governor, businessman, banker, lawyer, railroad builder and founder of Drake University. The Drake billboards highlight interesting places to visit and display local history that con-nect the community to world events. At each Drake location there are maps pointing out all of the places Drake can be found.

O ne of a Kind Bed and Breakfast is located at the corner of Centerville’s 10th and State streets. This structure, built in 1867, has served as a peddlers’ hotel, funeral home and now a

bed and breakfast. Whether you come to Centerville on business, to visit friends or relatives or just to enjoy a few days of vacation, Joyce Stufflebeem would like you to stay with them at One of A Kind. You will enjoy your stay in this historic and stately 34 room mansion built in 1867. Be sure to stop by the tea room for breakfast, lunch and sinner. On the first floor you will find a gift shop with collectibles, antiques and reproductions. Many items are handmade on the premises. You will also find artist supplies for painting and needle arts as well as instruction

books for arts and crafts. When you stay at One of A Kind, you

will be within just a few steps of the shops on the Centerville town square. Also, you will be within walking distance of the city park

where you can swim, play tennis or just enjoy resting and watching the

squirrels romp. Beautiful Lake Rathbun is only 12 minutes away. There is also a common room for guests where you will find a large screen TV, an extensive selection of videos as well as a pool table, exer-cise bike, mini trampoline, board

games and books.

C enterville and Appanoose County are very honored to be able to host the

WHO Tractor Ride from June 24 - 27. This is a very exciting oppor-tunity to promote the area and all we have to offer. About 450 tractor riders and an equal number of support people and WHO staff will be our guests.

Tractors will be arriving at the Appanoose County Fairgrounds all day on Sunday, June 24. We will have a welcome table with a packet of information regarding things to do and see during the four day event and beyond. We are encour-aging local stores to be open on Sunday afternoon. The Centerville Trolley will shuttle visitors from the fairgrounds to destinations around Centerville all afternoon, and in the evening we will have entertain-ment and a meal served by the Appanoose County Cattlemen as the tractor riders attend a required informational meeting on the court-house lawn. The public is invited to join in the fun and help us welcome our visitors. On Monday morning the tractors leave Centerville on a loop that will include lunch in Corydon. On Monday evening, the Pancake Day Committee and the Centerville High School Booster Club are joining forces to provide a meal and entertainment. We will have live music from the bandshell, and once again the public is invited participate in the evening’s activi-

ties on the courthouse lawn. On Tuesday, the tractors will leave the fairgrounds and head north around Rathbun Lake includ-ing lunch at Honey Creek Resort. That evening participants will be on their own for dinner. Chamber member restaurants are encour-aged to provide us with a copy of their menu and specials, and we will distribute them at registration to give visitors an idea of dining options for Tuesday evening. Wednesday morning the trac-tors will leave the fairgrounds for the final adventure and travel to Moravia for lunch. There will also be a stop in Moulton. More infor-mation about the routes, stops and entertainment will be available closer to the tractor ride. We are very fortunate to be able to host this event, and we are certain that our visitors will be overwhelmed with the hospitality of Appanoose County residents. Mark your calendar and help us showcase Appanoose County.

If you haven’t visited the Exline Old Country Store, we have to say that you’re missing out. All communities need a place to meet, eat and visit. This is the place! We’re just a short drive south of Centerville, Iowa. Take Highway 5 south out of

Centerville to T30. Turn east onto T30. Follow T30 all the way onto Exline’s Main Street. You can’t miss it

sitting on the south side of Main Street.

When you get here, stop in and experience that old time country store atmosphere. After you have had something off the menu, don’t forget to have an old

fashion ice cream from the soda fountain. When you’re done having your dessert, stretch your legs, walk

around and look at all the antiques for sale. Make sure you take something home with you.

The Continental Care Center at Sey-mour offers skilled nursing and sunset living to seniors who require rehabilita-tion and daily assistance beyond the capabilities of most families. We em-phasize our short-term rehabilitation return-to-home program combined with therapy services. It is our privilege to walk beside you and offer you as-sistance when you need it.

We also specialize in dementia and memory care. To maximize resident free-dom and minimize risks, we installed a comprehensive wireless resident-moni-toring system which aides in increasing resident independence and safety, both improving quality of life and improving quality of care. Staff pagers identify the exact location of a call for help.
