John 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

dayton abduction

A SPECIAL SECTION OF SUMMER ISSUE 2013

By STEPHANI FINLEYCNA managing editor sfinley@crestonnews.com

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
