No more Santas, please
ith the success of cable television shows like “American
Pickers” and “Pawn Stars,” collecting has become an even
bigger hobby — and business — for a growing number of
Americans. The same can be said right here at home, as it seems more
and more people have started collecting things, sometimes without even
truly realizing it.
Most all of us collect things, whether we want to or not. This
becomes quite obvious when exploring most people’s homes or garages.
Once you start collecting, it becomes addictive. Others seem to like to
add to your collections, too.
Years ago, my wife started collecting Santa Claus figurines. A friend
of hers collected angel figurines. Through holidays and birthdays, they
purchased these items for each other until there simply wasn’t room to
display them all in either of our homes.
We also once purchased an antique Coca-Cola cooler at a rummage
sale. We didn’t have a need for it but simply thought it was unique. We
added a few more Coca-Cola items and suddenly became Coke collectors to the point where we had a room full of the stuff. The odd part
was that we didn’t drink Coke products, and we never intended to start
collecting the stuff. Somehow my wife’s family thought we did, and the
collection grew each year until we finally sold off the pieces at a garage
sale
In this month’s cover story, we share the stories of some local residents and their collections, explaining their passion for the “stuff” and
how they became involved in gathering it. It’s a fun story for those of us
who admit we collect and for those of us who don’t.
Thanks for reading. Q

Let it snow
After Jon Dorman’s parents moved from
Newton to the Moulton-Udell School District
before his senior year of high school, he put in
his time and not a second more.
After a year, he said, “I got out of this area
as fast as I could.”
He had met his wife, Judy, that senior year
in high school. They spent 13 years in the Des
Moines area, and then they started thinking
southern Iowa might be a better place to raise
their daughter, Adelyn.
When they moved back, Dorman brought
something else with him: a love for snowmobiles.
After a friend persuaded Dorman to take

a snowmobile ride and he liked it, he bought
his first one in 1990 for $10 from “a guy up
the road.” Since then, he has traveled much
farther for snowmobiles, going as far as Maine,
Vermont, Washington state and Oregon to
pick them up.
“I’ve bought and sold, swapped and
restored many sleds,” Dorman says. “I think
the most sleds I had at one time was almost 40,
but I still hover right around 30.”
At first he was interested in models from
the mid-1970s, but then he got into older
snowmobiles. Snowmobiles haven’t been
around that long, he says, so some from the

starting making them in 1954, though earlier
models from other companies exist as far back
as the late 1910s and 1920s.
When Dorman acquires the sleds, they are
often rusty and not running. He restores them,
including fabricating parts because they are so
hard to find. He says he has enjoyed restoring
old things since he was a kid. Sometimes he
sells his restored sleds, but he hasn’t really gotten into flipping them. He usually only sells so
he can buy something else.
Dorman says his most interesting snowmobile is a large red one that is actually the

ever made. The company produced fewer than 30, of which 12
are known to still exist. Dorman’s
was the very first one produced.
Dorman is the Iowa director of the Antique Snowmobile
Club of America. The club’s local
chapter sponsors events, including
Exline’s annual Winterfest. It is the
only active club south of Interstate
80. The only snowmobile trail
system south of I-80 is the 40-mile
snowmobile trail around Rathbun
Lake.
“This is kind of an odd collection in this part of the world — if
I was up north I’d fit right in,” he
says.
Southern Iowa isn’t quite as
snowy as northern Iowa, but this
area can have great snowmobiling
conditions, Dorman says.
“Last year was a bad year, but
that was about everywhere we
went,” he says.

rural Exline for riding around in
the timber. His wife has a newer
snowmobile to ride that steers
easily and has hand warmers. But
Dorman doesn’t care about that.
“I ride the big old stuff,” he
says. “I don’t care if I’m the loudest, noisiest thing lumbering along.”
An enduring first love
Jeanie Russo was in ninth grade
when she fell in love with Clark
Gable after watching the movie
“Gone with the Wind” with her
mother.
Her collection of “Gone with
the Wind” memorabilia includes
dolls, plates and Christmas ornaments, but perhaps the most striking piece is the large photograph
of Gable from the movie’s scene
in a Yankee prison.
Russo used to keep the photograph on her wall when she
worked at a high school in Florida,
and she had many conversations
with students over the years that
were sparked by that photograph.
As an educational media specialist
and former English teacher, she
wanted to get the students interested in reading.
“Students would come in and
say, ‘Who is that?’ and that’s how
I would get them started with an
interest in “Gone with the Wind”
and reading,” she says. “I would

Her favorite piece is a collectible plate titled “Scarlett and Her
Suitors” because it is from the first
major scene in the film, when the
audience is introduced to Scarlett
O’Hara’s character and sees several young men wooing her. She
says all the characters in the film
have an important message, but
the one she finds most inspiring
is Scarlett’s persistence in never
giving up.
Russo and her husband,
Pasquale (Pat) Russo, moved to
Centerville a few years ago after
retiring from the school system in
Florida.
For her, it was a homecoming.
She was born in Centerville, but
her family moved away when she
was 3. Her father, a coal miner,
decided to improve his life by
becoming a welder, so the family started moving around for his
construction jobs.
Most summers they would
come to Centerville for up to
three months to visit with relatives. Because they moved around
so much, she says, going to
Centerville always seemed like
going home.
She says she hadn’t considered retiring to a family home in
Centerville, but on the couple’s
first visit here together in 1996,
Pat was so charmed by the small
town he brought up the idea.
Pat says the charm is still
there.
“I’m still constantly amazed by
the fact that I can go shopping, go
to the post office, go get gas and
be back to the house in less than
half an hour,” he says.
Two years ago she got
involved with the Friends of the
Drake Public Library because
some of her strongest memories
from those childhood visits to
Centerville were of the library’s
striking physical space. She says
she is impressed by the Friends’
diligent fundraising efforts to keep
the library well-stocked and up to
date.

vidual sponsorships, this should
enable them to do even more for
the library,” she says.
Parts of Russo’s “Gone with
the Wind” collection are currently
on display at the library.
Pat is also a collector and has
decorated the basement of their
home with his collection of bar
signs.
Making tracks
Dan Dwyer has loved trains since
he was a child.
When he was growing up in
Chicago, Ill., his mother would take
him to the Marshall Field’s department store around Christmas to
see Santa Claus. He was always
excited to see the model train sets
running.
“Then I got a train set for
Christmas one year — and I’ve
been following trains ever since,”
he says.
Dwyer built a layout for model
trains in the 1970s when he and
his family lived in California. When
they moved to a different city, he
didn’t have room for it in his new
house and sold it.
He had been longing for
another layout, though, and he
started another one shortly after
his son died in 2006. He and
his wife, Judy, decided to change
their surroundings as part of their
grieving process, which led them
to Centerville in 2007. He kept
working on the layout in their new
house in Iowa.
Dwyer says his favorite model
train is the Southern Pacific
Daylight, which had served as a
luxurious passenger train. In 1984,
that very train came through their
area in California on its way to the
World’s Fair in New Orleans, La.,
and his family went to see it.
“I have some still photographs
of Judy holding our son, Matt, and
standing around the train as it
was stationed there overnight,” he
says. “It just became my favorite
train.”
Dwyer says he prefers model
steam engines to model diesel
engines.
“They’re nostalgic, and the
machinery that went into a steam
engine is amazing,” he says. “The
diesel engine is just an overgrown
truck engine — most of the diesels
today have one guy in the cabin,
www.iowalivingmagazines.com/appanoosecounty
and they’re run by computers.”
The layout is of a 1950s-era
town. A streetcar goes up and
down in the town, which includes
an industrial area, a downtown
and residences. Dwyer pays attention to the tiniest of details: a little
pond has fish in it, construction
workers are working on a building,
a man is exiting an outhouse, and
people are enjoying ice cream. A
man mows his lawn, a dog barks
at a cat on a fence, and a guy sits
outside a shop waiting for his wife
to come out.
Dwyer says he was able to get
most of the components for his
layout online. His favorite part is
a junkyard filled with old cars and
clutter. His favorite building is the
movie theater, which perpetually
shows “The African Queen.” He
says the layout is always a work in
progress, and he is always getting
new ideas, like including birds on
fine wires.
“I am always getting ideas to
do this and do that,” he says. “My
wife will have a sewing party or
whatever, and I will come up here,
and I’ll run the trains while her
company is here.” Q

Control moisture
to prevent mold
Homeowner’s insurance may not cover molds
By Rebecca Evers, agent, American Family Insurance
s recently as several years
ago, finding mold in a bathroom or another part of
the home was rarely a cause for
concern. The homeowners would
fix the water problem, clean or
remove the materials that contained mold and dry out the area.
It was that simple.
But things have changed. Mold
is now being viewed in a new
and complex light, sometimes
portrayed as a serious threat on
people’s health.
Research indicates exposure
to mold can cause hay fever-like
allergic symptoms in some people.
The Centers for Disease Control
(CDC), however, says a causal link
between the presence of mold and
serious illness has not been proven.
The good news is mold can be
easily prevented and controlled.
Mold growth depends on excessive moisture. If the owner of
a home or building can prevent
excessive moisture and take quick
steps to rectify the problem when
it does occur, the risk of mold
developing will be minimized. Here
are some recommendations from
the CDC to prevent mold growth:
s +EEP THE HUMIDITY LEVEL IN
the home or building below 40
percent.
s "E SURE THE STRUCTURE HAS
adequate ventilation, including
exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms.
s 5SE AN AIR CONDITIONER OR

Mold, like rot and insect infestation, is generally not covered by
homeowners insurance. Standard
homeowner’s policies provide
coverage for events that are sudden and accidental. They are not
designed to cover losses from
improper maintenance or normal
wear and tear.
If an accident occurs that is
covered by your insurance policy
— i.e., a water pipe suddenly
bursts, the insurance company will
generally pay for the water damage. Payment for resulting mold
damage may or may not be covered. It depends on your type of
policy, circumstances of the loss
and applicable state laws.
It is important to remember
the best defense for mold is an
aggressive offense. Make sure your
home has adequate ventilation,
take care of leaky pipes and work
with your insurance company to
address sudden and accidental
water damage. These simple steps
can go a long way toward preventing a complicated situation. Q

Going Hollywood Lonely
Silent film shot scenes in Appanoose County
Submitted by Lisa Eddy
n May of 1921, Hollywood
descended upon Appanoose
County. Silent film star Norma
Talmadge and her production
company, First National, arrived in
town on May 22. They would spend
only three days in the county, filming scenes at the CB&Q depot,
the Harbold farm in Plano and a
small bit on the Centerville square
for their upcoming movie to be
entitled “The Wonderful Thing.”
The public was captivated in
watching the activity around the
production. As soon as the stars
arrived by train, the public was following them. Cars lined the roads
approaching the Harbold farm.
Crowds had to be held back at
the depot. The newspapers caught
every detail and reported it to the
hungry readers. In the Centerville
Journal, there was an inch-high headline over a picture of a Duroc boar,
stating “1000 Hogs See Norma.”
She granted an interview to the
Iowegian’s Charles DePuy, who
called Miss Talmadge, “the Princess
of Filmdom.” The newspapers were
full of the details of the film, leaving
little to the imagination. For three
days in May, Appanoose County was
obsessed with Norma Talmadge.
On May 24, 1921, the whole
company packed up and left
Centerville. They had informed
residents that the film would take
another nine months to complete
— compiling, editing and creating
the finished product. So Appanoose
County waited with bells on. On
Thursday, Oct. 12, 1921, the first
day of the Appanoose County Fall
Festival, the Majestic Theater had
its first showing of “The Wonderful
Thing.” Two showings a night for
two nights packed the Majestic
Theater to the doors. “See actual
Appanoose County hogs on the
screen!” was mentioned in one of
the many articles promoting the

fter reading an article from
AARP - The Magazine about
an epidemic of chronic
loneliness in our country, I was
compelled to share this information with all of you.
“This affliction, experts tell us,
‘Is an ever-present, self-perpetuating condition that pushes people
away from relationships that sustain us and make us happy.’ ”
In reading this piece I, being in
this industry and holding the position that I do, was excited to hear
that age does make a difference
with chronic loneliness: “Those
who said they are suffering most
are not the oldest among us, but
rather adults in their 40s and 50s.”
Good news for our residents, not
so much for the estimated 44
million adults older than 45 who
suffer from it. Aside from age,
loneliness was equally represented
in those surveyed, regardless of
race, gender or education levels.
Not only is chronic loneliness
undesirable and unwanted, there
is also evidence that it significantly
increases chances of diabetes, sleep
disorders and other potentially lifethreatening problems and creates
an increased risk of high blood pressure, higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol, weakened immune
systems and Alzheimer’s disease.
So now that you’re aware of
what chronic loneliness is and why
it’s no good, what can we do
to combat it and, in turn, live
a healthier, more enjoyable life?
While there’s no easy cure, here
are some steps to help broaden
your horizons:

in Appanoose County in 1921 to shoot
scenes for the movie “The Wonderful
Thing.”
film.
Fast-forward to 2012: The
movie “The Wonderful Thing” is
only available for viewing at the
United States Library of Congress.
Or, you can see it at the Historic
Holiday Film Festival that will
be held on Saturday, Nov. 17 at
the Majestic, sponsored by the
Appanoose County Historical
Society. In 2008, the Historical
Society had a fund drive to have
a copy of the rare silent film
made for its archives. After jumping through hoops to get permission from the copyright holder
and making the arrangements for
getting copies, the movie was in
the hands of the Historical Society.
Every couple of years, an event is
held to showcase the movie so
more people can see it.
This year a film festival will be
held at the Majestic to showcase
the newly-renovated theater and
to showcase the movie where it
was first shown. There will also
be other rare gems shown during
the festival, including several pre1950s era Christmas programs,
including two silent versions of “A
Christmas Carol.” Q

s %DUCATEYOURSELFABOUTLONEliness.
Remember — everyone feels
lonely from time to time, for
example, after a divorce or loss
of a loved one. This is situational
and, although painful, is a temporary condition. Chronic loneliness,
however, is a destructive cycle
that can be difficult to reverse.
This information is vital as
the 40- to 50-year-olds surveyed
in this study begin to enter their
later years. Settings like an assisted
living can help older adults battle
such situations because of their
non-isolating set-up. For example,
residents of The Continental at
St. Joseph’s are encouraged to
eat meals together in the main
dining room. In addition, activities
are built into each and every day;
even when weather is bad there
are plenty of people to socialize
with and lots of opportunities to
be active. Conversely, older adults
in their own homes may miss out
on social interaction for days or
weeks if weather is unfavorable.
So in closing, I’d like to remind
those feeling lonely, whether temporary or chronic, that they need
to start small. Realize that you are
vulnerable and it is not easy to rid
yourself of this condition. You will
have to work to keep loneliness
at bay. It may mean saying yes to
an offer to participate even when
you would rather not. But just like
exercise is important for physical
health, so is interacting with others
important for our mental health. Q

Rick Sweet is a Cyclone and Brady Sweet is a Hawkeye.
Bus of both worlds
Tailgating bus is half Cyclone, half Hawkeye
By Brooke Sherrard
ast spring a group of friends
was playing cards and got
to talking about how great
it would be to take one vehicle
to football games instead of five
or six.
L
They envisioned a camper, but
the plan changed when one of the
friends, Rick Sweet, read in the
newspaper that the Centerville
Community School District had a
2001 school bus for sale.
Sweet put in a bid of $1,800,
thinking that might not be enough,
but soon the bus was his.
Sweet and his wife, Amy, are
Iowa State fans. He was born and
raised in Des Moines, and she
was born and raised in Story City,
north of Ames. They moved to
Centerville 13 years ago when he
took a job as operations manager
at Wells Distribution Center.
But their adopted home has
lots of Iowa fans — including their
son, Brady.
“Half of our friends like Iowa
and half like Iowa State, so somebody said, ‘Let’s make it half and
half so everybody gets to enjoy
it,’ ” Sweet says. “We’re proud of
both colleges — we love it when
Iowa or Iowa State wins as long as
they’re not playing each other.”
So Sweet painted “Cyclones”
on one side of the bus and
“Hawkeyes” on the other. He
plans to decorate the inside as half
Hawkeye and half Cyclone, split
down the middle. This summer he
picked up some mustard-colored
church pews from eBay — luckily,
yellow represents both schools.
The Sweets are Iowa State season ticket holders, and they and
their friends will mostly be taking
THEBUSTO)OWA3TATEGAMES+ANSAS
City Chiefs games and festivals.
Sweet is also a coach for his
daughter Abby’s traveling girls’
softball team. For insurance reasons he can’t transport the team in
the bus, but the girls can use it to
relax in between games at tournaments.
He plans to install two kitchenette areas, a deck on back for
a barbecue grill and DJ speakers
— all the amenities of a tailgating
camper in a bus that grabs people’s
attention.
“I get a lot of feedback on the
Iowa and Iowa State thing,” he
says. Q

Pumpkin cake
Baking takes center stage during fall season
By Beth McDonald
here is a hint of fall in the
air, which has me planning
for the holiday season.
I know it is early to be thinking
of the holidays, but if I don’t start
planning now I won’t get everything done. All of the magazines
are showing Thanksgiving turkeys
and holiday cookies. This is truly
my favorite time of year because
baking takes center stage. Just
thinking about all the pies, cakes
and cookies I can get started on puts me in a good mood. I really enjoy
reviewing the recipes I made last year for the holidays, deciding what
will be on the list again this year and looking for new recipes to fill the
void for those that didn’t make the cut. Some things I am considering
this year include caramel brownies, pumpkin pie with a streusel top and
a cranberry cake.
Last year I made a pumpkin cake, so I dusted off the recipe, made
a couple of tweaks to it and made cupcakes instead. To change this
recipe, I reviewed several different pumpkin pie recipes for the right
combination of allspice and cloves and debated about adding nutmeg and
cinnamon. I ended up using allspice and cloves in the cake and made a
cinnamon butter cream frosting. Enjoy! Q

Sharon Chapel Church, at
the intersection of 260th Avenue

ground in the early morning hours
of Sunday, Oct. 7. The chapel,
most recently unused, has served
as a local chapel, church and home
for funeral services to the adjacent Sharon Cemetery since the
1890s. The 100-year-old structure
had seen several renovations since
its construction, most recently in
T
1992 after a twister knocked it off
its foundation. Local law enforcement is treating this as a possible
arson case and are asking for help.

he Addison: a sumptuous estate
home Riverstone veneer, keystone arches, and the Addison’s
three stories of living space (if you
include the daylight basement) comprise
more than 5,000 square feet.
It is a truly sumptuous estate
home. Stepping through the lofty entry
arch, you pass into a two-story foyer,
naturally brightened by the high arched
window over the door. A wide opening on the right leads into an elegant
tray-ceilinged living room. The matching
opening on the left flows into a steppedceiling dining room. A built-in buffet
with a small sink is just across the hall.
Moving straight ahead, under an
inner balcony, brings you to the largest,
brightest room of all — a family room
with a two-story ceiling. Sliding glass
doors open onto a spacious, fully-covered rear deck. A fireplace and home
entertainment center anchors one end
of the family room, which flows into the
nook and gourmet kitchen on the opposite side. Counters wrap around most
of the kitchen, and there’s more counter/work space on the central work
island. An eating bar rims one side of it,
and a roomy pantry is just around the
corner.
Basement and second floor stairs
feed off of the kitchen. Laundry appliances are nearby, as is direct garage
access. The Addison’s luxurious owners’ suite fills an entire wing. Along with
a huge walk-in closet, it boasts a large
bathroom with curving lines, a spa tub,
two basins and a private toilet. Two
more bedrooms, one of them ideal for
a guest suite, are upstairs, as is a large

bathroom. Doors in both bedrooms
also open out onto a large covered
veranda, great for relaxing in summer
or enjoying the night air. Q

The sweet and sour chicken luncheon special.
Unexpected gem
Ching Dow has warm atmosphere, great food
By Elizabeth Jordan
he wonderful aromas at
Ching
Dow
Chinese
Restaurant greet you the
second you open the door of the
quaint little white building off the
east side of the square.
There can’t be many towns the
size of Centerville with a Chinese
restaurant like Ching Dow. The
atmosphere is warm and inviting, with instrumental music playing softly in the background. No
food sits wilting under buffet lights,
as has become the standard for
Chinese restaurants outside big
cities. Each meal is prepared fresh
and comes out piping hot as it has
for 20 years at this unexpected
gem of a restaurant.
On a cool fall day, I visited
Ching Dow for lunch and had the
sweet and sour chicken luncheon
special for $5.50. The chicken
was covered in a thick, rich sweet
and sour sauce and mixed with
onions, green peppers and carrots.
Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., diners
can choose from 33 luncheon specials. These lunches are served with
two well-stuffed crabmeat ragoons
and a scoop of fried rice.
The luncheon special’s main
dish is preceded by a bowl of
egg flower soup so delectable I
would encourage anyone who likes
Chinese food to visit the restaurant
just to sample it. The soup is great
T
all year round, but it is especially
satisfying this time of year as the
temperature drops. Another aspect
of the Ching Dow dining experience that gets even better when
the weather gets cooler is the
complimentary pot of tea for two.

Ching Dow is one of the few
restaurants in the area that features a different dining experience at lunchtime and dinnertime.
At night couples and families can
order the family dinner, which is
$10.50 per person with a two-person minimum. The dinners include
egg flower soup, egg roll and fried
rice, and each person chooses an
entree. The entrees are presented
on platters so diners can easily
sample each of them.
Diners who forego the family
dining option can choose from 40
chef’s specialties, including several
pork, shrimp, beef, chicken and vegetarian options. And if you feel like
staying in, just give Ching Dow a call:
if my observation of the front counter during lunch was any indication,
it does a brisk takeout business. Q

health Q&A
Q: How can I choose the best
hospice provider?
A: With so many options when it comes to hospice, and so many providers
claiming to be the best, it can be hard to know how to make the right choice.
Start by finding out what others have to say, including trusted friends and
family. Which hospice providers do your friends and family recommend?
In addition, learn what other trusted organizations have to say about the
hospice providers you’re considering. What kind of third-party recognition has
the provider received? Earlier this year, HCI Hospice Care Services was one of
only four organizations or businesses in the state to receive the Better Business
Bureau’s 2012 Integrity Award. The award recognizes organizations which demonstrate integrity through their business practices and how they exemplify their
organizational values.
The BBB Integrity Award was the first of two significant recognitions HCI
Hospice Care Services received this year. Last month, HCI Hospice Care Services
was selected as one of Iowa’s Top Workplaces, as announced in The Des Moines
Register. The Top Workplaces are determined based solely on employee feedback.
Hundreds of companies and organizations participated in the process, but only
those organizations whose employees were truly passionate about their workplace made the list. That says a lot about employees’dedication to HCI Hospice
Care Services and that they believe in the organization’s commitment to do the
right thing – for both its employees and the families the organization serves. Q

Q: What is Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome?
&'SBOLMJO4USFFUt$FOUFSWJMMFt

Appanoose County Living
OCTOBER | 2012
A: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a compression of
the median nerve as it enters the hand beneath
a ligament (transaerse carpal ligament) in the
palmer surface of the wrist along with several
tendons that flex the fingers. There are several
symptoms that are quite common.
Often the carpal tunnel sufferer will have
tingling or pins and needles sensation in the
hand. It is more prevalent in the thumb, index
and middle fingers. This is common at night or Ray Tresemer, P.T.
when waking up in the morning. People often
describe the sensation as their hand being asleep. If the compression on
the medial nerve progresses, simple things like holding a phone to your
ear, opening the car door or driving may cause the numbness, tingling and
pain to intensify. Weakness of grip is a common symptom if the nerve
damage worsens.
The gold standard for diagnosing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is electro
diagnostic testing. A doctor and some specially-trained physical therapists
administer an electric stimulation to the median nerve to determine if
there is damage to the nerve. Those tests are called nerve conduction
velocity study and electromyography.
In the early stages, carpal tunnel syndrome can be treated with
exercises, splints, and anti-inflammatory medications. Physical therapy is
often recommended. If conservative treatment fails, surgery to relieve
the pressure may be necessary. Q

Holiday time
Support your community by shopping locally

he griddles from Pancake

our minds are turned to
the holiday season. For most of

they end the year in the black. The

This year, we will kick off the
holiday season again with a Small
Business Saturday promotion on
Nov. 24. It is a day to recognize the
importance of the small business
in our communities and support
those local merchants by making
purchases. It is held on the Saturday
following Black Friday. In 2011, we
conducted a local Small Business
Saturday campaign and it was very
successful. Local stores reported
brisk sales and shoppers appreciated the reminder that our stores
carry a large variety of merchandise at competitive prices. Shopping
small makes a huge impact.
You don’t have to travel far.
By shopping locally you don’t have
to travel far. With high gas prices,
take into consideration the amount
of money you are spending just to
get to the big city. Also, parking
is more convenient in Centerville
(even on the square) compared to
driving around a mall parking lot
looking for a space.
You don’t have to battle the
lines at the mall.
Shopping locally means that you
won’t have to battle crowded
malls and wait in long lines. You
can spend your time exploring the
store and thinking about the right
gift, not standing in line.
You can get help from the
shop owners.
Need advice about what to buy?
Small businesses owners usually
know their stock well and can help
you choose the perfect gift.
The money you spend stays in
your community.
When you spend money locally it
stays local. That money goes back
into the community in taxes, rent
and in other ways that help keep
our community thriving. When
was the last time a store in Des
Moines made a donation to a local
sports team or community organization? Local businesses donate
thousands of dollars to support
local charities.
You can find amazingly
unique gifts.
At small local shops you can find
some great unique items.
We are fortunate in Appanoose
County to have a mixture of large
and small retailers. If you haven’t
shopped locally lately, you may be
surprised at how successful you
will be in finding the perfect gift for
everyone on your list right here. Q
