Home Care In La Porte City, IA

La Porte City, Iowa (KCRG) - After nearly 7 months of renovations and a change in management the La Porte City golf course held a grand reopening for the new season.

The previous owners announced they were going to sell the course as farmland in September -

But a group of people in town came together to raise enough money to buy it and keep it running.

Now a non-profit owns the course and they had several renovations done including everything from hiring new management and removing 50 trees on the course.

Staff says this place holds special memories for many in town.

Kevin Long, the Secretary Treasurer of Golf Court Board, said, “This is a vital part of this community in la port city there’s a lot of history here involved where we have grandparents as board members and regular members here who played out here and people have played for many many years we’re back and ready to roll.”

The La Porte City Golf Course says their first tournament of the year is scheduled for April 29th.

Hickory Hills Park is one of the lesser-known state parks in Iowa, situated in the middle of the rural part of the state between Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. Located in La Porte City, a town of around 2,200 people, it’s a great place to escape the crowds and enjoy some beautiful Hawkeye State nature. But many people don’t know it’s also a rare wildlife preserve in Iowa, playing host to bison, elk, and rare birds. A great spot for outdoor recreation, and an amazing opportunity to spy some unusual animals from the safety of your car, it’s one of the state’s most underrated attractions – and unlike most of the state’s other animal attractions, it’s completely free!

LA PORTE CITY, Iowa — This Black Hawk County city emerged from the pandemic “ready to rumble” — literally.

La Porte City completed a $3 million “streetscape” renovation of Main Street downtown while many businesses were closed in 2020. It included a restoration of the raised-brick pavement in the street that autos and carriages rode over for generations.

“People wanted the bricks back because they like that rumble,” said Mayor Dave Neil, a former Iowa state labor commissioner and member of the Iowa Board of Regents.

But there also have been losses due to the coronavirus. Neil knows that firsthand.

“I volunteered out at the cemetery digging graves,” he said. “I would imagine we lost at least a dozen” people.

Residents of La Porte City — population 2,284, according to 2020 Census results — looked to each other for support, and kept their business and dollars closer to home.

It’s not the first time.

While the pandemic put a crimp on business, Neil and others in La Porte City felt worse economically during the 1980s farm crisis. Neil also had a front-row seat to that, as a union business representative with the United Auto Workers and a stint as president of UAW Local 838 in Waterloo when John Deere’ s Waterloo operations laid off nearly 10,000 workers, from a peak of more than 16,000 in the late 1970s.

Many La Porte and rural area residents commuted to Waterloo for work at Deere as well as to Rath Packing Co., which liquidated in 1985. IBP Inc. — now part of Tyson Fresh Meats — filled some of that void with a large pork plant that opened in 1989.

While the local newspaper, the Progress Review, also ceased operations during the pandemic, the city counts among its blessings:

So the city was in good shape headed into the pandemic, and improved conditions coming out of it, with the streetscape project the city hopes to promote with downtown gatherings and special events. The streetscape was enhanced by recent concurrent recreational trail projects and recreational improvements along Wolf Creek near downtown, including a riverwalk and kayak landing.

These are the kinds of amenities helping small towns thrive in Iowa while others are losing population, a four-month IowaWatch investigation found. There are several key factors that emerged as being important for a small town to succeed.

La Porte City has several of these, including a strong downtown.

Odd Pops Tea Room and Eatery, located downstairs from the old Odd Fellows meeting space on Main Street, opened for special events in fall 2018 and public dining in October 2019 — on the cusp of both the streetscape project and a few months before the pandemic came to Iowa.

“We were really starting to roll at that point. We knew we were going to have close for the street, and then the pandemic hit,” Odd Pops owner Deb Yordt said. “If anything good came out of it, at least it was all at the same time.”

Yordt chose to stay closed until July as street work continued. Business has started to pick up again.

“We’re known for scones,” she said. “We say, ‘Everybody must get sconed,’” playing off a line from a Bob Dylan song of the mid-1960s.

The business could grow more, with the idea of adding a coffee shop in the fall. It’s difficult to find workers, she said.

“That’s been more of a hindrance than anything,” she said.

Black Hawk County had an unemployment rate of 4.1 percent in July, down from 5.2 percent in June, Iowa Workforce Development data show.

“It seems to be hitting everywhere,” Neil said in June of the labor shortage. The town could not get enough lifeguards for the swimming pool, despite raising wages, and opened for limited hours, he said.

“The demand is there. And the labor force is not there. Iowa keeps struggling with that as a state, in my opinion,” Neil said.

“We don’t have people moving in here. “

The August 2020 derecho also posed a challenge for the street project because the supplier of new bricks, Culver’s Lawn and Landscape in Marion, sustained storm damage. Still, the work was done on time.

The project was aided by a $750,000 grant from the Black Hawk County Gaming Association.

“You’re not only replacing the street, you’re replacing the infrastructure underneath,” Neil said.

That included water lines and electrical work that included new lights and service to buildings.

“When you start digging into an area that has not been excavated for the last 100 years, you run into a lot of unknowns,” Neil said.

The project required a lot of meetings, which required masks and social distancing or by Zoom.

“It was cumbersome, but we got through it,” Neil said.

Facilities improvements at the Union schools, including its athletic facilities, drove and encouraged improvements downtown and elsewhere, Neil said. One housing addition has filled and a second one has been started.

“People saw that built, and it sent the right message to people that were not opposed to spending their dollars to fix up Main Street,” Neil said. “You put up a house for sale in this town and it’s gone tomorrow.”

Jan Pint and Wendy Walker, real estate agents, say sales did not slow with COVID-19.

Homes are going in around the $170,000 price range, where some sales might have been in the $120,000 range in past years.

One theory is that working from home had an effect with potential buyers wanting a big home office, Pint said.

That’s where having high-speed fiber and internet connections figures big, said Heidi Barz, who works in customer service at LPC Connect, a municipal communications utility founded in 1907 as a local telephone cooperative.

“I think there’s a lot more pride in La Porte with what the city did on Main Street, and along the creek. Even little things, like they have a little skating rink. The school system has always been great. I think La Porte, to me, has a whole new feeling,” Pint said.

LA PORTE CITY – The La Porte City Women’s Club is set to host a holiday-themed Tour of Homes featuring five area homes next Sunday, December 10.

From 4:30-7 p.m., the ‘Home for the Holidays’ tour will take visitors inside the following homes: Andy and Chrissy Miller (409 Sweet Avenue); Robyn and Ted Oberhauser (613 Commercial Street); Denny and Desi Mclaughlin (12 Bruce Lane); Melanie Neil (201 Main Street); and Brice and Karissa Vaughn (5025 13th Avenue).

In conjunction with the event, Little Knights Learning Center-LPC will be hosting a freewill donation soup supper fundraiser from 4-8 p.m. that same night at the La Porte City Community Center. Funds raised from the supper will be put toward the construction of a new center.

The Women’s Club raises money throughout the year to invest back into the community including toward high school and non-traditional scholarships, the La Porte City FFA Historical and Ag Museum, the Hawkins Memorial Library, and many more.

Tickets for this year’s Tour of Homes are $10 and can be purchased at LPC Connect or at any of the five homes on the day of the event. For more information on each home, see below.

Andy and Chrissy Miller, 409 Sweet Avenue

Andy and Chrissy Miller are so excited to celebrate their first Christmas in their new home. They built the house this year and it was important to them to make sure they had plenty of space during the holidays for their five kids, four grandkids, and room for more down the road. They have a 12-foot tree and five other trees along with many decorations that Chrissy has received or inherited from her grandparents. They are excited to welcome everyone into their home this year.

Robyn and Ted Oberhauser, 613 Commercial Street

Ted and Robyn Oberhauser bought the house at 613 Commercial Street in 2020. The house had been divided into two apartments for many years and included a colony of bats living in it, unbeknownst to them when they bought it. During the remodel in 2022, they found the staircase was in great condition, so it was left untouched and looks to be original from the early 1900s. And they were able to convince the bats to find a new home. In the photo, the staircase is still decorated as fall because the Oberhauser boys will not let Robyn decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving is over, but it will be decorated as Christmas for the Tour of Homes.

Denny and Desi Mclaughlin, 12 Bruce Lane

Ted and Robyn Oberhauser's home.

Denny and Desi McLaughlin recently purchased the house at 12 Bluff Lane in La Porte City and have done extensive remodeling of the house. One area that Desi especially enjoys at Christmas time is where all the Elves are displayed, and one can only guess that the Elves might be up to some tricks when left alone. The McLaughlins also enjoy the front and back porches on the house and can be found enjoying them throughout the year.

Melanie Neil, 201 Main Street

Melanie Neil’s residence at 201 Main Street is the Wasson building which was remodeled around 2013 by Dave and Vi Neil. Melanie moved back in 2023 after being gone from the area for 16 years and now resides on the top floor of the building. This will be the first Neil Family Christmas hosted in the building. The first of many to come! Since moving back, Melanie hosts Sunday Family (and friends) Luppers (lunch/supper served around 2 p.m.) every Sunday. The building provides such a beautiful open space for their large group!

Brice and Karissa Vaughn, 5025 13th Avenue

Desi and Denny McLaughlin's home.

Bryce and Karissa Vaughn started building their home in 2019 and moved into it in 2020. One of the special, unique focal points of their home is the barn beams which they incorporated into the staircase and other areas of the home. This added character and meaning to the house as they were repurposed from the barn that originally sat on their family’s Century Farm.

LA PORTE CITY, Iowa – This town emerged from the pandemic “ready to rumble” – literally.

The city of La Porte City completed a $3 million “streetscape” renovation of Main Street downtown while many businesses were shut down in 2020. It included a restoration of the raised-brick pavement in the street that autos and carriages rode over for generations.

“People wanted the bricks back because they like that rumble,” Mayor Dave Neil, a former Iowa state labor commissioner and member of the Iowa Board of Regents, said.

But there have also been losses due to the coronavirus. Neil knows that firsthand.

“I volunteered out at the cemetery digging graves,” he said. “I would imagine we lost at least a dozen (people).”

Residents of La Porte City — population 2,284, according to 2020 Census results just released — looked to each other for support, and kept their business and dollars closer to home.

And it’s not the first time.

While the pandemic put a crimp on business, Neil and others in La Porte City felt worse economically during the 1980s farm crisis. Neil also had a front row seat to that, as a union business representative with the United Auto Workers and a stint as president of UAW Local 838 in Waterloo when John Deere’ s Waterloo operations laid off nearly 10,000 workers from a peak of more than 16,000 in the late 1970s.

Black Hawk County, where La Porte City is located, had an unemployment rate of 4.1% in July, down from 5.2% in June, Iowa Workforce Development data show. Yet, employers seek workers.

“It seems to be hitting everywhere,” Neil said in June of the labor shortage. The town could not get enough lifeguards for the swimming pool, despite raising wages, and opened for limited hours, he said.

“The demand is there. And the labor force is not there. Iowa keeps struggling with that as a state, in my opinion. We don’t have people moving in here. “

The August 2020 derecho also posed a challenge for the street project because the supplier of new bricks for the stereetsape project, Culver’s Lawn and Landscape in Marion, sustained storm damage. Still, the work was done on time. The project was aided by a $750,000 grant from the Black Hawk County Gaming Association.

“You’re not only replacing the street, you’re replacing the infrastructure underneath,” Neil said. That included water lines and electrical work that included new lights and service to buildings. “When you start digging into an area that has not been excavated for the last 100 years, you run into a lot of unknowns.”

The project required a lot of meetings, which required masks and social distancing or by Zoom. “It was cumbersome, but we got through it,” Neil said. Midwest Concrete of Peosta was the general contractor.

One of the city’s biggest losses during the pandemic was the Progress Review ceasing operations after 127 years, the last 18 by Mike and Jan Whittlesey. Jan, also the town’s city clerk, was the business manager and Mike handled the bulk of the news coverage. They still maintain a publishing operation in town.

Neil said the town started a monthly newsletter to partly fill the void.

Facilities improvements at the Union schools, including its athletic facilities, drove and encouraged improvements downtown and elsewhere, Neil said. He said one housing addition has filled and a second one has been started.

“People saw that built, and it sent the right message to people that were not opposed to spending their dollars to fix up Main Street,” Neil said. “You put up a house for sale in this town and it’s gone tomorrow. We also have a couple of people in town whose hobby is rejuvenating old houses and they have done a great job. And they go overnight.”

Jan Pint and Wendy Walker, real estate agents known as “The Sold Sisters,” say sales did not slow with COVID. “Last year was one of our best years. We couldn’t believe,” Pint said. “We really have no answer for why. It’s a lot of young people; they just really want their own home, I think.”

Homes are going in around the $170,000 price range, where some sales might have been in the $120,000 range in past years.

One theory is that working from home had an effect with potential buyers wanting a big home office, Pint said.

That’s where having high-speed fiber and internet connections figures big, said Heidi Barz, who works in customer service at LPC Connect, a municipal communications utility founded in 1907 as a local telephone cooperative.

Pint and Neil said people are focusing more on their families and home communities, which has regenerated vitality in La Porte City and elsewhere.

“I personally feel La Porte’s really come back around,” Pint said. “Everything old is new again.”

“I think there’s a lot more pride in La Porte with what the city did on Main Street, and along the creek. Even little things, like they have a little skating rink. The school system has always been great. I think La Porte, to me, has a whole new feeling.”

Neil agreed, saying a couple of downtown community events in May attracted several hundred people and a couple of restaurants ran short of food.

“It just amazes me at night around there. The people walking, driving, riding their golf carts,” he said. “It’s vibrant. The pandemic really gave people an overnight lesson in what was important to them.”
