Our Community - Health Care
Moville Area Medical Clinic ( upper level ) Thomas Wente D.O. / Diane Drevs P.A. The lower level is occupied by C N O S Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation services. Dr Wente has purchased the facility from the Moville Medical Board of Directors. Built by donations from the community, the clinic has served the area for over 15 years. The money from the sale will be in a fund designated for future assistance in securing health care for the community when it becomes necessary. In the meantime, this fund will continue to offer scholarships to deserving graduates from Woodbury Central and Lawton Bronson High Schools. This also shows a secure commitment by Dr Wente to continue serving the area.

Community Stuff "Moville Market" Work is continuing on the Moville Market, which hopes to open by Aug 1. Please call Bill Kuebler if you have time to work on the facility. I think we now realize how much our local businesses mean to the community. Our support, patronage, and assistance is needed and appreciated. Donations are needed and fund raising efforts are still in progress. Please support the effort. Ownership and operation is affiliated with Chet & Linn's Grocery / Kingsley Becky Bates has opened a screen printing business on downtown main street. B C productions, or something close to that, is the name of her store. Please support the new local businesses along with all the other established ones. What an asset to our community!!

The 100 Most Deadly Days for teens begins when school lets out for the summer
May 14th was a learning day for WC high school students. Mock Vehicle Accident and Followup A Mock Car accident was set up in front of the grandstand. The accident occurred when 3 students were in a car hit by an intoxicated driver. One victim was dead on scene, one unconscious and transported by M A C, one seriously injured transported by Lawton ambulance, and one transported by Moville ambulance. Parents of the involved students were involved in followup scenerios held in the school theatre. Involved in the drill was Moville Fire Ambulance, Lawton Fire Ambulance, Mercy Air Care, Jon Erdmann with McCulloch Funeral Home, Pat Phipps with Metcalf Thompson Phipps Attorneys, Doug Boettger with Woodbury County Sheriff Dept., Jeremy Probasco with Iowa State Patrol, Dr Jeffrey O'Tool with St Lukes ER, Wes Von Donge with Moville Police Dept. and family members of the victims, Pat and Sandy Rogers, Rob and Amy White, Susie & Lee McElrath. Thank You to all the involved agencies, and especially to South Sioux Towing for furnishing, delivering, and pickup up the wrecked vehicles as well as Dave Amick and the Woodbury County Fairgrounds for allowing us to use the facility, and LaDonna Crilly - Western Iowa Tech for her moulage skills and assistance. The fairgrounds scene was the accident that included emergency response, identification of the deceased by family and removal by funeral service. The school scenes included: the intoxicated driver arrested and charged with vehicular homicide, and then meeting with his attorney (Pat Phipps) who explained the seriousness of the situation the families of the injured kids meeting with Dr O'Tool, who explained the seriousness of the injuries and possible prognosis the family of the deceased student meeting with Jon Erdmann to begin making funeral arrangements This drill was intended to make students aware that there is so much more involved than just the accident itself, that families are affected forever by such an incident, and hopefully, generate some thoughts about their own safety and immortality.

Moville Record account of Community Wide - 2 day disaster drill
A special "Thank You" to all the surrounding communities for responding to the Disaster Drill. It was a real learning experience for everyone involved. 9 EMS calls came to Com Center from all different areas of Moville within a 7 minute time frame and the initial plan was put into action. We found that it is much easier to talk and write about how to handle such a situation than it is to actually do it. Much went very well, and improvement in some areas is needed. Ambulances, EMS, Fire responded from Lawton, Kingsley, Pierson, Bronson and Anthon responded. Mercy Air Care also flew to the scene. Other agencies involved included Woodbury County Emergency Services and Woodbury County Sheriff Dept. After the drill was completed for the initial response, everyone came together to debrief, review, and evaluate what had taken place. Suggestions were made and changes in the initial response plan will be made accordingly. Final coverage
