WAPELLO, Iowa – Gov. Chet Culver and first lady Mari Culver are scheduled this afternoon to tour Oakville and Wapello.
Oakville was evacuated June 14, when its levee failed and was topped by the Iowa River. The town remains closed, but some of its 400 residents have been allowed to visit their homes and get some of their belongings.

Message: Hey, I am sure this message won\’t go directly to Eric Klein, but I just wanted to let him know how much I look up to him. I just saw his picture in The Hawkeye where he was helping out a town, Oakville, just miles away from my house. It really touched my heart to see that Eric Klein was helping out the little town of Oakville, not to mention I kind of freaked out knowing that someone I admire was so close to me! I watched Eric on \”Oprah\’s Big Give\” & he was instantly my favorite. He has such a huge heart and has really inspired me to help out whenever possible. Keep up the amazing work Eric & the CAN-DO organization! You all are so amazing! I hope one day I can start or be part of a wonderful organization like CAN-DO.
