The sun’s comin’ upJ ust the other day, I was making breakfast for my 11-year-old daughter

and her friend who stayed over night. While mixing up the pancake batter, I found myself singing a familiar John Denver tune. Most of

you, of course, know the “Thank God I’m A Country Boy” song I am referring to and could have sung along when I bellowed out the verse: “When the sun’s comin’ up I got cakes on the griddle; Life ain’t nothing but a funny, funny riddle; Thank God I’m a country boy!” My daughter and her friend didn’t recognize the song. At all. They simply looked at me in a confused way and told me I was weird. They may be right, but that’s not going to stop me from singing John Denver songs or enjoying pancakes. There’s just something downright American about both, and that’s why I love the idea behind Pancake Day. More than just a

festival of food, Pancake Day is about people, which makes it a great kickoff to celebrate class reunions as well. And, as you know, no other school district does it better than Centerville. Just ask the thousands of alumni who have participated in the homecoming activities through the years. Look inside this issue for details on Pancake Day and the beloved Pep Chapel. It’s guaranteed to be times full of memories and all-Ameri-can fun. And while you are at it, thank God you’re a country boy (or girl)! Thanks for reading.

T he lawn chairs are lining the Centerville square, the big tent is up and parade floats are getting their last-minute touches.

Ready, set, go — It’s Pancake Day! Centerville’s big fall celebration serves as a sort of warm up for the Centerville High School homecoming, which takes place on the following weekend. People come back to the world’s big-gest town square from far and wide on Sept. 28 to reconnect with family and friends and feast on free pancakes. Pancake Day got its start in 1949 and is still going strong. (For more of its history, see Lisa Eddy’s column on page 9.) The day starts off with the Mercy Medical Center 5K, 10K and 2.1 fun run/walk beginning at the YMCA. The Miss Pancake Day contestants will practice on the main stage, and registration opens for the cribbage tournament at City Hall. Play begins at 8:30 a.m. An invocation and flag raising will be held at 8:55 a.m., followed by the opening of the pancake tent at 9 a.m. Serving continues until 1 p.m. Craft courts, carnival games, a petting zoo and the food court all open at 9 a.m. Tulip the Clown will make balloon creations all day, and a Civil War Living History demonstration will be set up on the north

side of the courthouse lawn. Laura Ernst, a juggler and aerial fabric per-former, will perform in the bandshell at 9:30 a.m. Singers can show off their karaoke talent on the north stage at the same time. If you want to see some cute kids and creativity, be sure to be on the square for the kiddie parade at 10 a.m. A variety of entertain-ment follows at 10:30 a.m.: the Keith West magic and illusion show in the bandshell, a Dance Department performance on the main stage and the kids 25-yard dash, sponsored by the Rathbun Area YMCA on the east side of the square. DXP will perform on the main stage at 11:15 a.m., and Laura Ernst will perform again in the bandshell at 11:30 a.m. Then it’s time to find your spot along the sidewalk or the courthouse square for the big parade at 1 p.m. Area schools, churches, busi-nesses and organizations create floats, fire depart-ments show off their trucks, marching bands strut their stuff and a fleet of convertibles take the Miss

Pancake Day contestants along the parade route. And those are just the main parts of the parade. Entertainment continues after the parade. Registration for the kiddie pedal pull begins at 2:15 p.m. on the west side of the square, with the event beginning at 3 p.m. At 2:30 p.m., the Keith West Magic and Illusion Show will be in the bandshell, the Freedom Rock dedication in the southeast courtyard, the Lapland Plowboys antique tractor and equipment club on the north side of the square, Fine Line Bluegrass on the north courtyard state and registration for the three-on-three basketball tournament on the east side of the square. Play begins at 3 p.m. The Eagles Club is sponsoring bingo in the main pancake tent at 3:30 p.m. and “Ready, Set, Go,” sponsored by the CHS junior class, will appear on the main stage at the same time. The Miss Pancake Day pageant begins on the main stage at 5:30 p.m. with an intermission at 6:15 p.m. The Joel Pinkerton Duo will per-form, and the pageant resumes at 7:30 p.m. Miss

Ready, set,

GO!ANNUAL PANCAKE DAY AND HOMECOMING CELEBRATIONS ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER

Pancake Day 2013 will be crowned at 8 p.m., followed by another performance by the Joel Pinkerton Duo on the main stage. By the time the day is done, many people will have visited with friends they haven’t seen for a long time. And the next weekend, Centerville will see even bigger reunions.

HomecomingOn Oct. 12, 1932, the Centerville Daily Iowegian and Citizen carried a news item buried at the bottom of Page 4. “Every Effort is Bent Toward Largest Centerville High School Homecoming,” the head-line read. What would make 1932’s homecoming different from previous ones was the active par-ticipation of the Alumni Association: “The Alumni will co-operate with the student council, faculty and the members of the student body, to make this event a red letter day in the annals of the Centerville school. … During the chapel period, on Homecoming day, all of the old grads will be honored guests of the student body.” This description of CHS Homecoming still rings true today. As at any school, homecoming is a celebration centered on the most special foot-ball game of the year. And at CHS, homecoming

is also a time to strengthen the ties that bind past and present CHS students into a community that is far-flung but shares a common background. Student Council does much of the hard work that goes into putting on Homecoming. The coun-cil president serves as emcee for Pep Chapel, a

role that will be filled this year by Sydney Ocker. “I don’t even know how to describe what homecoming is — it is crazy and stressful, but in the end, it is this wonderful experience you get to have in high school,” Ocker says. This year, she says, choir alumni will be invited to sing with the choir at Pep Chapel, which could be the start of a new tradition. Student Council co-advisers are Catherine Lechtenberg and Jennifer Hand. Hand, who teaches science at CHS, also cel-ebrates her 20-year reunion this year. “It definitely brings back memories,” Hand says. “I kind of look at it from an adult perspective now, but I also still get the student perspective at school.”

Returning to the halls of ivyThe ceremony that brings current students and alumni together is Pep Chapel at 1 p.m. the Friday of the game (Oct. 4). All CHS class reunions are at homecoming time, but three classes get special treatment on that day: the 10-, 25- and 50-year classes. Each one nominates a speaker to address the crowd. Athletic Hall of Fame inductees are honored at Pep Chapel, and the Distinguished Alumni Award is presented.


Student Council President Sydney Ocker will emcee Pep Chapel at 1 p.m. Oct. 4 in the Simon Estes Auditorium.

Elahvonne Wright, who gradu-ated in 1946, says Pep Chapel made a lasting impression on her when she was in high school. “I was shy in high school, and I think I was awed by those who came back,” Wright says. “Neither one of my parents were able to graduate from high school, so that was a big deal at our house.” Wright remembers sitting at Pep Chapel in high school and see-ing the speaker for the 50-year class. When the woman needed help getting up the steps to the stage, Wright made a resolution to herself. “I thought, ‘I’m going to do that, and I am going to walk up the steps myself,’ ” Wright recalls. In 1996, Wright did speak for the 50-year class, and she did walk up the steps without help. Wright stayed connected with her school. After graduating, she attended junior college, which was in the high school building back then. Later she and her husband ran a youth center in Centerville from 1956 to 1966. When her own chil-dren were in high school, she was involved with their homecomings. Many of her best friends were in the class behind her, and they remained close. Wright hosted three of them in her home for their 50th reunion. Recently, the class of 1946 start-ed a new homecoming tradition. After her 60-year class reunion, Wright and her classmates thought it might be nice to combine reunions with surrounding classes. In 2009 a reunion for all classes that gradu-ated more than 60 years ago was held. The first year the event had 87 reservations, and last year, 121. Donna Beaty, who retired in June as Central Elementary secre-tary, is celebrating her 50th class reunion. “It’s a little bit unreal,” she says. “When we used to see the people in the 50-year class, we thought they were really old, and now that we are there, we don’t necessarily think that.” Beaty did not always go to Pep Chapel after graduating, but when her own children were in high school in the 1980s, she recon-nected with the tradition and goes every year with her sisters, Beverly

Fike (class of 1952) and Betty Talbot (class of 1957.) “We go early and stand in line for the doors to open and try to get a seat,” she says. Her husband, Jimmy Beaty, graduated in 1961. So, she points out, they get to go to twice the CHS reunions. Beaty enjoyed seeing former elementary students as football play-ers, cheerleaders, band members, singers or senior skit performers at Pep Chapel over the years, and she says chapel continues to pack an emotional punch for her. “There is something about it — you get in there, and it just really gets you,” she says. “I’ve had teachers and principals, who, if they weren’t from here, they just say, ‘I’ve never been to one like that.’ ” Beaty says Pep Chapel is almost exactly the way it was when she was in school. The biggest change for her was internal as she came to appreci-ate the traditions more. “You don’t think about it when you are in school; you kind of want out,” she says. “But as the years go by, it means more to you to be able to come back and see everybody and listen to the speakers.”

Honoring grads made goodThe Distinguished Alumni Award, chosen by the Centerville Community Schools Foundation, has been a major part of homecoming

weekend for almost two decades. The foundation was organized in 1991 to restore the CHS audi-torium. At the time, the state was considering condemning the struc-ture, says Rosemary Porter, who has been the foundation’s president since its inception. When the renovation was completed, the auditorium was renamed for Simon Estes, one of Centerville’s most successful graduates. At a spring ceremony, Estes was presented with the first Distinguished Alumni Award. Each year since, the award has been given at Pep Chapel. This year’s recipient is Wayne Waggoner of the class of 1948. Waggoner, who has built a nation-wide trucking business, started trucking as a high school student transporting feed and eggs for his dad. Today, Waggoners Trucking has more than 800 trucks, 40 locations and more than 1,000 employees. Porter herself has only missed Pep Chapel a couple of times since graduating in 1955. Porter says she loves the enthu-siasm and seeing all the classmates from different years. “And it’s also great to see the accomplishments that graduates from Centerville High School have done,” she says.

Getting involvedLechtenberg says events from Sunday

through Thursday tend to focus on students, while events Friday and Saturday tend to focus on alumni. The events start the Sunday before Homecoming with win-dow decorating on the square. Throughout the week, high school students have class competitions and dress-up days, with Friday as Scarlet and Black day. Howar Junior High and Lakeview Elementary students also have their own dress-up days. Thursday night is Spirit Night, a community pep rally at Lakeview. Lechtenberg says Spirit Night events help connect younger stu-dents to Homecoming before they get to high school. On Wednesday, the Student Council goes to the elementary buildings to teach the children a cheer to perform on Spirit Night. The Lakeview band performs the school song at Spirit Night, which also includes the introduc-tion of the Top 10 king and queen candidates, Iron Man volleyball in the gym and Powder Puff football on the Paul Johnson Field. Student Council members judge a coloring contest for kindergarten through second grade students, and the third through sixth grade students make posters with the homecoming theme. Friday starts with a breakfast for the distinguished alumnus at the Continental. Pep Chapel is at 1 p.m., followed by a reception in the high school gym for current students, staff, alumni and friends. Indian Hills Community College in Centerville has an alumni recep-tion from 4 - 7 p.m. Friday. At the football game on Friday night, the halftime show includes a second recognition of the Athletic Hall of Fame and Distinguished Alumni inductees. Class reunions are held Friday and Saturday, and Saturday morning there is a break-fast for CHS alumni from 8 - 10:30 a.m. The week wraps up with the semi-formal high school dance on Saturday night. This year’s theme is Country Strong. “Our goal is to build positive memories that connect the kids to school in a fun way so when they come back they understand their traditions here at Centerville,” Lechtenberg says.

Q: How does hospice treat pain and suffering?A: One of the biggest fears shared by Americans is the fear of dying in pain. The goal of hospice care is to minimize pain and suffering and help patients live the last months of life as fully as possible. Experienced hos-pice providers such as HCI Hospice Care Services are experts in pain management and in addressing its many causes. Pain affects physical, psychological, emotional, social and spiritual well-being and can be compounded by other problems you and your loved one are experiencing. Pain is also a very personal experience. Only your loved one can define what pain is to him or her. Only he or she can accurately describe the amount of pain and how well it is being relieved. Sometimes, people are reluctant to talk about their pain. They might feel that they are not supposed to have pain, that pain is a sign of weak-ness, that nothing can be done or that they shouldn’t talk or complain about the pain. The hospice care team uses a variety of pain scales and communication techniques to measure and monitor a patient’s pain level and determine how to best help patients meet their comfort goals.Pain treatment options can include both medicinal and non-medicinal treatments and may be addressed through a single medication, a non-medicinal therapy or a combination of the two.

T his family favorite recipe came from my grandmother. She raised five kids and knew how to make economical, filling meals. I always use 90 percent lean hamburger, and I add a half cup of Parmesan

cheese to the cottage cheese filling when I make it. Try experimenting with your own family’s favorite flavors. Try adding a can of Rotel tomatoes and chili to the meat mixture, or perhaps add a teaspoon of chopped thyme.

Hamburger pieIngredients1 cup biscuit mix1/3 cup cream1 lb. ground beef1 medium onion, minced1 tsp. salt¼ teaspoon pepper2 eggs1 large container cottage cheese½ cup parsley, chopped

Directions1. Stir cream into biscuit mix. Press

into a deep pie pan, flute edges.2. Saute meat, onions and season-ings. Drain off any drippings.3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and mix into the cottage cheese. Stir in parsley.4. Spoon the meat into the pre-pared crust and top with the cottage cheese mixture.5. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the mixture comes out clean.

Y ou probably have thought about what you’d like to do during your retirement

years. But all your plans probably depend, to at least some extent, on your financial situation. What happens if you reach the age at which you wish to retire and you just don’t have the money you thought you’d have? If this occurs, it’s time for “Plan B.” What does that look like? Here are a couple of possibilities:

If you like your job, you may not mind working an extra year or so. You’ll be bringing in more income and contributing more to your 401(k) or other retirement account — and, perhaps almost as importantly, you may be able to avoid tapping into these retire-ment accounts, thus giving them more time to potentially grow. (However, once you turn 70½, you’ll need to begin taking with-drawals from your 401(k) and a traditional IRA.)

lifestyle. It’s pretty simple: If you don’t save as much as you had planned for retirement, you prob-ably can’t do all the things you wanted to do as a retiree. Clearly, you’d like to avoid these “retirement contingency plans.” To do so, though, you’ll need to take steps well before you retire. And the most important move you can make may be to contribute as much as you can pos-sibly afford to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-spon-sored retirement plan. But while it’s important to put in as much

as possible to your retirement accounts, you need to do more than that — you also must put the money in the right investments within these accounts. Your exact investment mix should be based on your individual risk tolerance and time horizon, but, as a general rule, these investments must pro-vide you with the growth potential you’ll need to accumulate suffi-cient resources for retirement. Of course, as you know, investments move up and down. You can’t pre-vent this, but you’ll certainly want to reduce the effects of volatility as much as possible when you enter retirement. Consequently, during your final working years, you may need to adjust your retirement accounts by shifting some of your assets (though certainly not all) from growth-oriented vehicles to income-producing ones. It’s a good idea to have contingency plans in place for virtually every endeavor in life — and paying for your retirement years is no differ-ent. But if you can make the right moves to avoid the contingency plans in the first place, then so much the better.

W hen Chuck Evans and his wife decided to retire to the Lake

Thunderhead area, Centerville High School got a head football coach out of the deal. This is the third year as head coach for Evans, who also serves as a substitute in the district. Evans says his philosophy is that the student athlete comes first. “What we try to do is have a positive experience, and looking back on it you would do it again,” he says. Evans says that Centerville, with its town square and sense of com-munity, reminds him of his home-town of Mount Pleasant, where he grew up the son of highly successful football coach Bob Evans. Evans did not envision fol-lowing in his father’s footsteps, but several years after college he found himself attending the same church as a former rival high school football player who was coaching at Southeast Polk High School. The coach asked Evans to join his staff. “He said, ‘I’m sure with your background you might know how to coach,’ and he started laughing,” Evans recalls. Evans went back to school for his coaching authorization and was an assistant coach at Southeast Polk for 11 years. He then was assistant coach under his brother at Johnston High School.

In 2001, after Evans moved to Iowa City for his wife’s job, he became head coach at Regina High School. His first year the team’s record was 2-7. Each year the team improved until it won the state championship in 2005. “It was a great experience for me to come into a situation where they hadn’t had that much football success, and we were able to come in there and get the program turned around,” Evans says. Evans says the reason he keeps coaching is the kids. “You deal with all the stuff, the parents and the administration, but when you get down there in between the white lines and you have kids from 15 to 18 and they respect you and come together as a team, it is a very rewarding experience,” he says. He says former players often contact him to let him know what they are up to or ask for refer-ences. “You can’t put a price tag to that,” he says.

Retirement plans bring head coach to area

By Brooke Sherrard

Meet Chuck Evans

I was privileged to compile the retrospective booklet about Pancake Day a few years ago, on

its 60th anniversary, and I learned so much about Pancake Day that I never knew before. Joyce Bieber at the Chamber of Commerce allowed me to look through the huge file box of folders that had been meticu-lously prepared each year from the beginning of the festival. Every photo, article, even advertisement were archived and were a treasure to study. Back in 1949, several local business leaders decided there should be a festival to thank their patrons for their business. They studied their options and visited a “Pancake Day” celebration in Shenandoah to see what it was like. They were impressed and returned home full of ideas. Pancakes were a logical choice for the Centerville celebration. There was a local Pillsbury plant that was able to supply the pancake flour at no charge. Then other businesses wanted to chip in. Local dairies and even a spice company — Tones out of Des Moines — wanted to help out by providing the coffee. The first Pancake Day was off to a great start.

Interesting events were includ-ed in the first Pancake Day — a queen contest, a wood-chop-ping contest, square dancing and the raffle of a brand new 1949 Oldsmobile. But the one thing it did not include was a parade. After the rousing success of the first year, plans were imme-diately made to repeat it in 1950 on a larger scale. A big parade was added and school let out early for the kids to be a part of the celebration. You see, the first few Pancake Days were held on a Thursday in October. Businesses, organizations and even neighborhood groups worked diligently to have a float in the big parade. Shriners were added, and bands came from all over to compete in the marching band contest. And the music of the amazing calliope gave the day a carnival atmosphere. After trying out several dates, Pancake Day settled in to the last Saturday in September, where it remains to this day. Every year boasts that it was the biggest turn-out ever, although no one real-ly knows how many people are packed into the historic Centerville Square. But we know that they number in the thousands.

O ne of the many things that may take a toll on an individual’s attitude is

no power. Local utilities do a great job of keeping the lights on, but as we all know instances do occur when an outage is unpreventable. It never fails that an outage occurs at the worst time. Being prepared for an outage 24/7 is much easier than many would think. Permanent standby systems incorporate a transfer switch that will allow the generator to power up automatically in an outage, dis-connect the utility power source and connect the generator power source. When ultility power is present for a set period of time the transfer switch will reconnect to utility power and disconnect from the generator in one motion. Transfer switches are the brains of the whole sysytem. A few factors need to be con-sidered when installing a standby system:

be on standby power or do you power the whole electrical sys-tem?

to power the generator (propane, natural gas, diesel)?

be placed for access to fuel source, sound and connecting to the elec-trical system? Standby generators have

options available such as block heaters, carburetor heaters and trickle charger for the battery sys-tem. All of these insure optimum starting in any environment. “There is no need until there is a need.” When the need arrives, will you be ready? Starting issues are very com-mon in portable generators that are trasported to the location of need, as many sit for months or years before being used. Permanent standby systems are programmed to cycle weekly to ensure proper starting in the event of an outage. The fuel source for portable generators involves gaso-line being delivered to the machine at frequent rates as well. Consider these items before purchasing a generator of any kind for back-up power.

Oral care needs change for older adults

Mind your mouth

I t’s one of those things you’ve been hearing your entire life: Don’t forget to brush your

teeth. Brushing is a cornerstone of good oral health, but as we age there a few more things to con-sider. Research shows that your mouth is a window to the health of your entire body. It’s no secret that brushing and flossing daily is highly recom-mended. Dental checkups are also a must: Once a year is recom-mended, but most dental insurance plans will cover cleaning/exams twice annually. Early detection and prevention of oral issues can make a huge difference. Limiting the fre-quency of sugary snacks can allow teeth a chance to recover from acid attacks. If you wear dentures, it’s necessary to remove them and give them a good scrubbing daily. Lastly, limiting alcohol and tobacco use is recommended. Gum (periodontal) disease is of particular interest to dentists. Basically, it’s a chronic bacterial infection in the mouth. It has been connected to heart disease, stroke and diabetes. If you suspect gum disease, look for these red flags:

bleeding gums.

tures or the way teeth fit together when you bite down.

persist longer than two weeks.

ing, chewing or speaking.

mouth. Another common issue is dry mouth. Sometimes this is caused by certain medications. The concern with dry mouth is the increased

risk for cavities, gum disease and bad breath. Remedies include:

the day.

bedroom at night

(located by the mouthwash). Diabetics should be especially cautious about their oral health as it puts them at a greater risk for gum disease, can affect blood sugar levels and can even make diabetes harder to control. In addition, dia-betics are also more prone to dry mouth, thrush and oral sores. Brushing, flossing and regular checkups are all well and good, but there are barriers to obtain-ing dental care for older adults. The problem is compounded when you realize that dental care is not covered under Medicare. Accessing dental care can be especially challenging for nursing home residents. Utilizing funds from Incurred Medical Expenses (IME) can help them get the dental care they need. This program is routinely used for eyeglasses and hearing aids. Many people are not aware that it can also cover dental treatment. Furthermore, federally funded health care centers offer services on a sliding scale, based on income.

T he temperatures are cool-ing, and the leaves are changing. After what has

been a scorching hot July and August, fall is upon us. While we say goodbye to the lazy days of summer, it’s time to say hello to a busy, bustling autumn. Students and parents alike are settling back into their school year routine. and so are local churches. First Baptist Church Sunday school is back at 9:15 a.m. every week. This isn’t just for school kids, either; the church offers nine groups for believers of all ages. There are age-specific classes as well as specialized groups like Friends First with a focus on study-ing Romans. The convenient class time makes it easy to attend either of the church’s morning worship services, before Sunday school at 8:15 a.m. or after at 10:30 a.m. For those who aren’t early birds, there’s also a 6 p.m. service. For more information about the church and any of these activi-ties visit its website at www.cen-tervillefirstbaptist.weebly.com, or stop in at 603 W. State St. in Centerville. First Evangelical Lutheran

Church is launching back into Sunday school, too. This program is for ages 4 - 18 and is broken into two different sections, 4 - 12 and 13 - 18. It follows a rich Bible study curriculum with fun and interesting lessons each week. The program starts at 9 a.m. every Sunday fol-lowed by 10 a.m. fellowship and 10:30 a.m. worship.

Since some take Sunday as a day of rest, the church also offers an array of activities during the week. Every Tuesday from 12:30 - 1 p.m. the church holds an intercessory prayer group. Then, every Thursday from noon - 1 p.m. the church hosts a Bible study at One of a Kind Bed and Breakfast located at 314 W. State St. in Centerville. For more about the church and its events, check out its web-site at www.firstlutherancenter-ville.org or swing by at 410 E. Sheridan Ave. in Centerville.

Pam Houser’s log cabin south of Exline provides the perfect spot for fishing and photography.

Houser’s home brings her close to natureBy Winona Whitaker

Log cabin life

P am Houser is never alone in her log cabin south of Exline.“You wake up to the birds

singing in the trees and go to sleep with the coyotes singing over the hill,” she says. Her cabin is in the Ponds and Prairies. Situated on land that has been owned by the Cline family for almost 100 years, Houser’s cabin sits at the end of a lane and overlooks a large pond. “The cabin is cozy with the smell of a cherry wood fire in the winter and breezy in the summer,” she says. “Looking out over the pond from the wrap-around deck I could spot a bass that was just waiting for my hook. “ Houser graduated from Centerville High School in 1972 and from the University of Iowa with a bachelor of music degree in 1976. She was a high school band director for 32 years. “When I announced my retirement from teaching, my fam-ily wanted me to move back to Centerville,” Houser says. “I finally agreed to look at some realty list-ings. I saw a post for Ponds and Prairies, and I was hooked. Within a couple of weeks I had sold my condo on East Lake Okoboji and purchased the small cabin.

“I loved living next to Gary Cline and his wife, Micki, in the neighboring cabin,” she says. “Gary is also a retired teacher, and we would share teaching stories as we fished. In his teaching days Gary was a fine girls’ basketball coach. He encouraged me to walk and run the trails at Ponds and Prairies and eventually I worked up to run-ning a half-marathon in his honor.” Houser’s vocation for the first year after retirement was fishing. “I fished in the morning and at night,” she says. “By October the freezer was full.” Unwilling to try ice fishing, Houser turned to another passion, photography. “I took my first photo at the age of 5, and I have been hooked ever since,” she says. “Living in the cabin offered me the opportunity to take photos of anything from daisies to a deer just outside my bedroom window. The loft of my cabin soon became my digital workspace, and I set up my framing shop in the garage and the basement.” Houser is currently in Santa Fe with her Yorkshire terrier Satchmo Louis while she attends the Santa Fe University of Art and Design.

Love of racing brings Texeira to mainland

By Brooke Sherrard

From Hawaii to Iowa

K eoni Texeira got a shock when he arrived in Iowa in December 2012.

“It was a little rough getting used to the climate and everything, the snow, basically,” he says. Tropical climes turned to win-try chills for Texeira as he pursued his career in racing in the Midwest, a place he had never thought much about. Texeira, from Hawaii, grew up racing there but faced a chal-lenge when the tracks he raced at closed. In 2007 he moved to California to keep racing. But when the economy turned down and sponsors pulled back, he found himself unable to race. He took a job as a crew chief to stay involved with the sport. A couple of years ago through work he met Katlynn Leer, a 12-year-old girl from Moulton, who was in California for a rac-ing training program. He became friends with Leer’s dad, who even-tually enlisted Texeira’s help with his daughter’s racing career. Last year Texeira flew to Iowa about eight times to work on Leer’s car and attend races with her family. In December 2012 he made the move. “Everything seemed a lot easier than living in California, so I figured

I would give it a shot,” he says. Texeira fabricates Leer’s race-cars in-house to keep costs down. Leer, now 14 and a freshman at Moulton-Udell, currently races midget cars in a series in Indiana. The USAC spec midget car Texeira built for Leer is pink and black and bears the logo of the Avon Breast Cancer Foundation. Leer says she has had many family members affected by breast can-cer. Her team sells T-shirts at the track and donates proceeds to the foundation. Texeira says he enjoys help-ing the group of avid racers in the Moulton area. “There is a little racing com-munity out here,” he says. “I have helped out a few of the younger up-and-coming kids on the four-wheeler side to see what they can do and push them to where they need to be.” Texeira had not raced for seven years, but his move to Iowa also meant he could start racing at the Knoxville Raceway. Leer, who got started racing with go-karts when she was in ele-mentary school, says she is looking forward to racing at Knoxville when she is older. “I’ll drive anything I can get my hands on,” Leer says.

S eptember is always a crazy month around our office and this year is no exception.

Besides preparing for Pancake Day, we have been working on a program to recognize people and businesses that do good things. Look for more about this effort in next month’s Appanoose Living. We are also excited about the new Appanoose County Freedom Rock located on the southeast corner of the courthouse lawn. Dedication of the Freedom Rock will take place at 2:30 p.m. on Pancake Day. The Appanoose County Freedom Rock was paint-ed in August by artist Ray “Bubba” Sorenson. On the front side of the rock Brigadier General Francis Drake, a Centerville native, is fea-tured along with the first USS Iowa. The back side of the rock fea-tures a soldier hugging his daugh-ter upon returning from military duty. A Centerville streetscape is featured in the background. The rock also includes images of an American flag, seals of the five military branches and a gold star signifying a soldier killed in action. The Appanoose County rock was funded through the Appanoose County Tourism Committee. The Centerville-Rathbun Lake Area Chamber of Commerce coordi-nated the placement. The rock was donated by L& W Quarries.Those involved with placing the 17,740 pound rock were Steve Hawkins from the Centerville Street Department, Dave McCann from Cicco Construction, Steve Close, Myra Close, Tim Opperman and Mike Sharp from L&W Quarries, Doyle McDonald and

Brad Munden from Iowa Steel & Wire, Officer Angie Widmar from Centerville Police Department and Gary Cridlebaugh. Thanks to all those who were involved. If you haven’t had the opportunity to check it out, Pancake Day will be a good time to do so. I feel like I say this every year, but this is going to be the best Pancake Day yet. We are very fortunate to have great volunteers who love Pancake Day so much they are willing to spend hours planning, organizing, setting up and keeping the day running smoothly. What a great group of people! We are also fortunate to have great sponsors. Our “gold-en” sponsors donate more than $1,000 each and most of them do it every single year. Golden spon-sors are HyVee, Curwood, Owl Pharmacy, Photography by the Browns, Jim Irelan Men’s Wear, Daily Iowegian, Fareway, Cline Companies, KMGO-KCOG and Walmart. We appreciate every donation and we have a complete list on our website. See you on Pancake Day!
