Chicken Dillys opens

Chicken Dillys has opened in the former Cider House, just in time for RAGBRAI, featuring craft beers on tap, as well as locally brewed ciders and a full line of spirits.

Owners Terrence Schuldt and Brea Hallen wanted to get the business open in time for RABRAI.

'Our plan is to have the bar open for a month or so before we start serving food,” they said, adding that the kitchen will open around mid-August.

Chicken Dillys signature menu item will be broasted chicken along with an array of other comfort foods.

The inside of the space still has that throw-back feel of earlier days in Fairfield, and the owners have extended the theme to the outdoor deck, using thick rough cut native wood bar tops around the outside rail.

Overturf returns to IHCC

OTTUMWA -- Former Indian Hills Community College softball coach Jim Overturf has returned to the college in a new role, as the admissions representative for non-traditional students.

It is a position that Overturf says he is excited about – making people aware of the many opportunities for adult learners to go back to IHCC or maybe take a class for the first time.

Overturf says, 'We have five county service centers where people can conveniently take a class close to their home and we offer evening classes to fit people's busy schedules.”

He adds that there will be a series of adult learner informational sessions in Ottumwa and Centerville At these sessions, college staff will provide assistance in academic advising, and talk about flexible schedules, working toward a degree at the student's own pace, and the computer labs and study areas available for all students during day and evening hours. Test-proctoring services for online classes and exams are also available.

'I want a parent to know they can tell their son or daughter, a teacher can tell a graduate they know, a grandparent can reach out to a family member, and community members can consider going back to school,” Overturf says. 'These are all scenarios we have seen where our adult education offerings have been valuable resources for those in our area.”

The first adult learner sessions are slated from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Aug. 13 in the library on the Centerville campus, and 5:30-6:30 p.m. Aug. 15 in the Bennett Center on the Ottumwa campus.
