Christmas is just around the corner...and boy have we got dolls and Teddy bears! Dave and Maxine Davenport have consigned their collection to add to our selection of antiques and collectibles. If you haven’t been in to see us lately, now would be a great time! Did I mention that we are still in the book business? A very recent addition combines a nice frame and a quilled greeting card for that very special occasion: anniversary, birthday, thinking of you, etc. Imagine one store with this eclectic mix and it is we!

CNA photo by KYLE WILSONJohn and Lynne Schlaht of Creston pose next to the headstone of Earl J. Hoar — a former corporal in the U.S. Army and veteran of World War I. For the past 10 years, the Schlahts have walked through Graceland Cemetery on Memorial Day and placed a bouquet of red, white and blue flowers on veteran’s graves that don’t have any flowers at all.
ohn and Lynne Schlaht of Creston stand side-by-side at Graceland Cemetery nearly one
decade ago. It is morning. The grass below their feet is fresh-ly cut, a little wet, and in the stillness of the cemetery the most recognizeable sounds are American flags flapping in the wind.
It’s Memorial Day.Like past years, the Schlahts
are attending the Memorial Day program at Graceland Cemetery. A small group of people gather with them. The group says the Pledge of Alle-giance together and listens to the keynote speaker.
“We’ve always gone out to the cemetery on Memorial Day,” Lynne said. “We’re both retired now, but I was a
librarian and John is a long-time social studies teacher in Creston, so we’re both fascinated with history — es-pecially American history — and cemeteries have so many life stories.”
A trumpeter playing taps concluded the program at Graceland Cemetery. The group in attendance scat-tered in different directions to visit loved ones.
“After the program, we always wander around the cemetery,” John said. “We don’t have any family in Graceland Cemetery, but we do have friends. As we wan-dered around, that particular year we began noticing many veterans didn’t have flowers on their graves.”
Lynne recalls the feeling that gave them both.
“It was really sad to see nothing on their graves,” she
said. “They probably don’t have any family that live in the Creston area anymore.”
So, from that day forward, the Schlahts decided to honor at least some of those vet-erans each year by placing flowers next to their grave.
“We just thought it would be a nice gesture to honor and thank them on Memo-rial Day,” John said. “All of them sacrificed something for this country. ... After we placed flowers the first year, we wanted and felt like we needed to do it again the next year.”
So, that’s what they’ve done.
Each year Lynne finds enough red, white and blue artificial flowers to make 35 to 40 bouquets. She finds the

Creston area leaders in the areas of educa-tion and economic development met Tues-day to discuss the viability for establishing a learning center in Southwest Iowa.
The learning center would provide diag-nostic and tutoring services to students with learning differences and disabilities and of-fer resources to families impacted by learn-ing disabilities such as dyslexia, discalculia, dysgraphia, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and related issues.
The purpose of the proposed learning cen-ter, which would work in partnership with local school districts, is to ease the logistical and financial burden of accessing necessary resources to improve the learning experi-ence for students with learning differences. The proposed site has yet to be determined, but it would most likely be established in Creston.
The proposed learning center will be based on the success of other similar non-profit learning centers.
Suzanne Johnston, who is an employee of Iowa State University and been involved with the planning from the start, said she has spent “hours and hours learning” about working memory issues, auditory delays and learning disabilities in an effort to help her own daughter.
Johnston said, after families pay for gas, $250 in diagnostic fees and $50 per session,

Blood found likely that of missing teen, abductor called ‘pure sociopath’
DAYTON (MCT) — Investigators be-lieve they found the blood of a missing teen-ager on the body of her kidnapper, on his truck and at a northern Iowa hog confine-ment facility where he took two girls Mon-day afternoon, officials said Thursday.
Kathlynn Shepard, 15, of Dayton, was still missing Thursday evening after she and a friend were abducted Monday by Michael J. Klunder, a registered sex offender described by a retired police chief as a “pure socio-path.”
Officials confirmed Thursday that Klun-der, who was found dead around 8 p.m. Monday, had hanged himself.
Blood was found on Klunder’s body, on the tailgate of his Toyota Tundra pickup and on two buildings at a hog confinement facil-ity where Klunder worked, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent Bill Kietzman said at a news conference Thurs-day afternoon.
The blood had not yet been tested to de-termine if it is Kathlynn’s, he said.
“We’re going to make a logical assumption that it is her blood,” Kietzman said. “There’s no reason to think it’s anyone else’s.”
The search for Kathlynn will continue Friday, but each day that passes leaves less

Finding the right balance of services keeps life interesting, according to the staff of Prairie View Assisted Living in Creston.
“We have a 31-year age difference between our youngest tenant and our oldest tenant,” said Amy Edmonson, Prairie View administra-tor. “We were all raised differently. You’ve got a whole array of backgrounds to try to accom-modate. It’s not just age.”
Edmonson said, in addition to health care, individual needs must be taken into consider-ation in all areas including food preparation and activities.
FoodThough most of the food is prepared right in
the kitchen at Prairie View, Brenda Feick, di-etary manager, explained that different people have different tastes in food.
“We have some people who just like to eat soup,” she said. “We have an alternative menu that they can pick off of if they don’t like what we have on the menu.”
Feick said the challenge is identifying what the individuals like, how they were raised and what foods they grew up with.
“Our menus come from Midwet Health, our parent company, and we tweak them a little for our residents, what they like,” she said. “They don’t like new things.”
Edmonson said assistance with meals and medication can make a noticeable difference in a person’s abilities.
Edmonson said people usually turn to
