who-13 rvtv in creston monday

et some sleep this weekend Crestonians — because Monday evening you’ll need that extra energy to participate in a community tailgating party at the restored Creston

Depot. Why is there a tailgate on Monday?

This year, Creston was selected as the first stop on WHO-TV Channel 13’s RVTV tour — a weeklong event leading up to the Cy-Hawk rivalry game between Iowa and Iowa State sched-uled Saturday.

The family-friendly tail-gating party is slated to be-gin at 4 p.m. at the restored Creston Depot. A wide range of events are sched-uled including a best dressed contest, victory trucks con-test, facepainting and more. (See “tailgating events” sidebar for details on all the events happening between 4 and 10:30 p.m.)

“Come out and support

your team,” said Cres-ton Mayor Warren Woods. “And, if you aren’t a fan of either team then come out and support the Creston community. This is an excit-ing event for our commu-nity. Iowa versus Iowa State is a great rivalry. Both have large fan bases in Creston and those fans know how to have fun in a good-na-

tured way.”WHO13 RVTV — hosted

by WHO13 sports directors Andy Fales and Keith Mur-phy — will have live broad-cast from Creston at 5, 6 and 10 p.m.

“This is a fun event,” said Ellen Gerharz, Creston Chamber of Commerce ex-ecutive director. “We are go-ing to create a tailgating at-mosphere for people. There will be vendors making your favorite foods. Tents will be up. We will have games. You don’t have to be fan of either team to

Tailgating events Preliminary work starting for GV trail extention By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA staff [email protected]

Preliminary work on the next in-stallment of the walking/bike trail in Creston could start as early as this week.

Workers plan to clear and mow brush away from the proposed trail location — starting at the Green Val-ley (GV) dam and working around the east side of the lake and through the beach area and campground — so the land can be surveyed, staked and prepped for construction.

The current trail runs from McKin-ley Lake and past the YMCA and Southwestern Com-munity College. It then cuts across the road and up the western prop-erty line of Mitchell Marsh to the GV dam.

“What we are waiting on is but-toning up a couple of permits while the contractor wraps up their other work,” GV State Park Ranger Alan Carr said.

The new addition will be about 3 1/2 miles and share small sections of the road going across the dam and on the east side of the ranger station.

While the dry weather has been tough on farmers, it has been de-cent weather for construction. Carr said the contractor is confident if the weather holds, the project could be done this fall.

“I’m not quite as optimistic. Every time we try to do a project out here, it takes longer than expected,” Carr said. “It will be exciting to watch the progress once everything gets mov-ing.”

“There is two locations where they have to use our road,” said Union County Engineer Steve Akes. “One is on the dam itself, because the dam is too narrow to add a trail along the side, and the other is up on 130th

First all-female motorcycle ride kicks off Saturday

By BAILEY POOLMANCNA staff [email protected]

Sometimes all a woman needs is a girl’s night out. And, thanks to Angie Blazek, Lori Glover and Kim Riley, a girl’s night out is fast approaching.

Ladies Lovin Life Poker Run is an all-female motorcycle ride, set for Saturday. Blazek said she

expects between 50 and 60 people to sign up by Saturday for either the motorcycle ride or a party bus that is also available.

“Being with other bikers, they’re not bad people,” Blazek said. “I mean, they get a bad rap, a lot of them do. They’re nice.”

Proceeds will be donated to Dog Gone Rescue — a non-profit animal shelter located in Creston.Donations

The poker hands are paid back 100 percent to the people, but donations will be given out to a nonprofit organization.

After the motorcycle ride, the women will eat a donated dinner at Cromwell Tap.

“We’re having food that’s a free-will donation,” said Blazek. “And, all that goes to Dog Gone Rescue.”

A small auction of donated items will also be held after the motorcycle ride.

“We have a leather cross-body satchel,” said Blazek. “We have a Harley-Davidson blanket. I think that’s all we’re auctioning. Everything else we’re raffling, like T-shirts.”

Cards that are signed at each

bar will be put in the raffle.Ladies Lovin Life

The motorcycle ride starts at 11 a.m. Saturday at Montgom-ery Street Pub. Sign-up starts at 10 a.m., and is $10 for women riding motorcycles and $20 for those on the party bus.

“There’s, like, three of us girls that ride bikes,” said Blazek. “And, around one night, we was like, we should do a poker run. Then one thing turned into an-other.”

� Proceeds from the event go to Dog Gone Rescue animal shelter.

come to this. It’s about sup-porting the Creston commu-nity. This is a chance for us show off Creston in a posi-tive light.”

Andy likes CrestonFales and Murphy have

hosted RVTV for more than eight years. However, this is the first time they have ever stopped in Creston. Murphy expects Creston to be a good stop along the tour this year.

“The main thing is, Andy really likes Creston,” Mur-

phy said. “He thinks it is a nice town and we haven’t been there before. He thought it would be a town that would show up strong. It seems to be a sports-ori-ented community, too.”

Creston is the first stop on the tour. Then, in order, stops include Jefferson on Tuesday, Webster City on Wednesday, Iowa Falls on Thursday and Ames on Fri-day.

The Iowa versus Iowa State game will played in Ames this year. Kickoff is

slated for 5 p.m. Saturday.Monday’s itineraryRVTV crew will roll into

Creston between 11 a.m. and noon Monday.

Murphy said the first hour or two of the day is spent setting equipment up and figuring out logistics, such as Internet, live shots for the television broadcasts and everything else that goes into producing a live televi-sion broadcast.

Murphy and Fales also broadcast their afternoon sports talk radio show —

The Murph and Andy Show — from each town they stop in. That show airs from 2 to 4 p.m. on 1460 KXNO.

Tailgating begins at 4 p.m. at the restored Creston De-pot.

“Come up and join us,” Gerharz said. “I can’t stress enough, you don’t have to be a fan of either team to support this event. There will something for every-one.”

(CNA Sports Editor Scott Vicker contributed to this story)

RVTV:

To clarify an election sto-ry published in Tuesday’s Creston News Advertiser — the final day to request an absentee ballot via mail in Union County is Friday.

Absentee votes can be cast until 11 a.m. on Election Day (Sept. 10).

Polls on Election Day will open at noon and close at 8 p.m.

Clarification


A poker run is a motor-cycle ride where the rider gets a card before start-ing, then gets it signed or stamped at each stop.

“And then, when you get back to the last place, you draw a poker hand,” said Blazek. “Whoever wins that wins, sometimes, quite a bit of money.”

The ride first goes to Kramers Cafe in Orient for an hour lunch.

Then ladies will ride to KC’s in Bridgewater, The Pub in Corning, Nitro’s in Gravity, The Outpost in Prescott and will end at the

Cromwell Tap in Crom-well. The ride is approxi-mately 130 miles.

“We’ve always just want-ed to ride with all women,” Blazek said. “You get men that get out there, got to have the fastest bike. I rode in a lot of them this year; this is my first year out on a bike. They’ll just pass you like you’re sitting still out on the highway.”

FutureBlazek said she and oth-

ers are planning to make Ladies Lovin Life Poker Run an annual event.

“Instead of Dog Gone Rescue, we might do an-other one (nonprofit),” said Blazek. “Then, we might change the route.”

Despite resistance, Senate panel passes Syria strike measure WASHINGTON (MCT)

— Even as Congress took a step Wednesday to-ward authorizing the use of force in Syria, a grow-ing number of lawmakers spoke out strongly against a U.S. military strike and warned that it would draw the United States into an escalating conflict that could spread throughout the Middle East.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee ap-proved a resolution for a likely missile attack against Syrian President Bashar Assad in retali-ation for his alleged use of chemical weapons two weeks ago, but it prohibit-ed any involvement of U.S. troops.

“It gives the president the wherewithal to have

the limited military action that he’s asked for in order to punish Assad for the use of chemical weapons and the killing of innocent civilians,” said Sen. Robert Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat who chairs the Senate panel.

“At the same time, it is tightly tailored by having a timeframe in it and by cer-tainly prohibiting Ameri-can boots — troops — on the ground.”

But the Senate commit-tee’s 10-7 vote indicated deep divisions within Congress that President Barack Obama still must overcome in his quest to demonstrate to Syria, Iran and other nations that the use of chemical or nuclear arms is unacceptable.

“I don’t see a clear-cut

or compelling American interest,” said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.

“I see a horrible tragedy, but I don’t see that our in-volvement will lessen the tragedy. I think it may well make the tragedy worse. I think more civilian deaths could occur.”

“I think an attack on Is-rael could occur. I think an attack on Turkey could occur,” Paul continued. “I think you could get more Russian involvement and more Iranian involvement. I don’t see anything good coming of our involve-ment.”

Before voting on the res-olution, the Senate panel defeated Paul’s amend-ment stating that the Con-stitution doesn’t grant the president power to launch

a military attack without congressional approval un-less the country faces a di-rect threat.

Seven Democrats voted against it.

Sen. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., voted “present.”

Obama’s top Cabinet officers shuttled between the Senate panel and a key House committee as law-makers warned them that only a narrow resolution authorizing a limited U.S. military engagement in Syria has a chance of pass-ing Congress.

2013

Over Labor Day weekend, I vis-ited family in Minnesota. While I was there, I witnessed the slow deterioration of my aunt, Rhonda. My aunt has Crohn’s disease, and from what I’ve seen of the disease, I rank it right next to cancer in terms of the most hauntingly deso-late things to witness.

Crohn’s disease is an inflamma-tory bowel disease that affects any part of the gastrointestinal tract in the body. The body’s immune system attacks the gastrointestinal tract, for one reason or another. The disease usually starts up when someone is between the ages of 15 and 30, and those who are younger tend to have the worst cases.

Crohn’s disease, like cancer, has no cure. It is believed to be caused

by both environmental factors and a genetic predisposition. Siblings of someone with Crohn’s are 30 times more likely to develop the disease, and smokers are at higher risk.

My aunt, my dad’s sister, was di-agnosed when she was 18, but she had had symptoms from when she was 13. My uncle Keith, my dad’s uncle, also has Crohn’s, but a slight case in comparison to my aunt’s.

I’ve always known my aunt to be more fragile than the normal per-son. She has very little muscle mass

or fat, and has had many surgeries to remove diseased body parts. The average person has 20 feet of intes-tinal tract; my aunt has 18 inches.

Cancer and autoimmune diseases run in my family. I have relatives who had cancer and other relatives who have diseases such as multiple sclerosis and diabetes.

But, the worst case of cancer I’ve witnessed was my uncle, Larry. My uncle, a police officer, had mesothe-lioma in his abdomen. That kind of cancer is usually found in the lungs from asbestos, but doctors said it could have been caused from laying his radar gun across his stomach.

I remember going to visit fam-ily in Carroll one holiday when my uncle was visiting from Washington state. I walked into my aunt and un-

cle’s house. My uncle was sitting at the dining table, and the first thing that popped into my head was how similar he looked to a Jewish pris-oner during the Holocaust. He had gone from a barrel-chested, jovial man to one with next to no muscle mass or fat, who was in pain sitting on a wooden chair with no cusion. My uncle died about seven years ago.

Crohn’s seems to me to be just as debilitating and heartbreaking. No one should have to watch a loved one suffer a disease that eats away at them. My aunt has suffered for about 40 years.

I’ve learned so much about the disease, different diets and manage-ment of pain, but what sticks with me the most is how to make some-

one with Crohn’s comfortable. With no meat on her bones, my aunt is always cold. She has very lit-tle intestines and therefore cannot eat foods for nutrients because they won’t digest. She does, however sel-dom, eat food for pleasure. Because of her lack of an intestinal tract, she was recently required to carry around a colostomy bag, which she keeps hidden to maintain her pride.

Parents should never have to bear witness to the death of a child, but I imagine my grandparents, before too long, will. There is only so much a person can take, only so much their body can suffer, before it gives out. I wish the disease never existed, but until that cure is found, I want to raise an awareness of its awesome, and awful, power.

September finds the Chamber of Commerce busier than ever. This is due in large part to the help and assistance the chamber gives to the Creston/Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Committee for the upcoming 36th annual Hot Air Balloon Races weekend to be held Sept. 20 through 22 and WHO’s RVTV in Creston Monday.

WHO’s RVTV:Please remember that WHO

TV’s RVTV will be in Creston Monday to kick off their weeklong trip to the Iowa/Iowa State foot-ball game in Ames Sept. 14. Keith, Andy and the group will be doing their 5, 6, and 10 p.m. broadcasts live from the Depot parking lot in Uptown Creston.

We are planning a family-friend-ly tailgate to celebrate their appear-ance in Creston. The fun starts at 4 p.m. Come for dinner or a snack, or be part of the Best Dressed/Most Supportive Hawk or Cyclone Sup-porter Contest, play games, cheer on your favorite team, enjoy fun giveaways and more. Please visit the chamber website for a schedule of events www.crestoniowacham-ber.com.

Mark your calendars now and plan to attend RVTV Monday!

Balloon Days is Coming:Weather permitting, Balloon

Days kicks off with a fun flight of many of the balloonists on Friday evening sometime after 5:30 p.m. The balloon races will be held on Saturday the 21st and Sunday the 22nd. Depending on the wind direction, many of you can step outside your door and enjoy the spectacular view of balloons soar-ing across Creston on these days or head up to the airport to watch them take off.

In addition to the balloon races and activities, there will once again be the annual parade of bands,

balloonists and other participants on Saturday morning beginning at 10:30 a.m. in Uptown Creston. You are invited to have an entry in the parade. Please come to the corner of Howard and Chestnut on the 21st by 10 a.m. to be included in the parade.

On Sept. 21, the Creston Hot Air Balloon Days Show and Shine Car Show will be held from noon until 4 p.m. at the Kilgore RV parking lot located at 601 Sheldon Ave.

Creston Uptown is the site of various activities for spectators of all ages on Saturday, as well. The flea market and craft fair will be open in the west Depot parking lot from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addi-tion, local merchants will be open for your shopping pleasure during the day.

On Saturday afternoon, you can head out to the airport to enjoy the pet show at 2 p.m. Beginning at 2:30 p.m. will be the pedal pull for ages 12 and younger. Night-Glow, which will begin at dusk at the airport, wraps up the Saturday activities.

A wide selection of food will be available both Uptown and at the airport for your culinary pleasures during the event.

Brochures listing all activities are available at the chamber or by visiting the Chamber web page at www.crestoniowachamber.com.

The Balloon Committee and CHS junior class parents are selling the annual balloon T-shirts, sweat-shirts and pins. This is an excellent opportunity for you to show your support for the event, as well as

market Creston all year long. You can stop by the chamber, located at 208 W. Taylor, to make your pur-chase before the event or buy mer-chandise during the event.

Make your plans now to attend the 36th Annual Creston/South-west Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days and see for yourself what South-west Iowa has to offer.

Other activities taking place in Creston during September is the annual pork chop dinner spon-sored by Creston Kiwanis, Lion’s and Rotary clubs Sept. 19 and Creston High School homecoming on the 27th to name a few.

HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Dennis Rodman was invited to return to North Korea Tuesday and visit Kim Jung Un and talk basketball with the dictator. How tight is Kim’s grip on his people? No one in North Korea has the nerve to tell Kim Jung Un that Dennis Rodman is not President Obama.

Mississippi topped a nation-wide obesity survey with thirty-four-percent of the adult citizens at least forty pounds overweight. It’s amazing. Last week a man in Mississippi was diagnosed with a flesh-eating disease and the doc-tor gave him forty more years tolive.

Hollywood Boulevard movie theaters began installing bullet-proof glass at their box offices last weekend. Recently a movie the-ater was robbed of five hundred dollars. The thieves made off with a large box of popcorn, a large Diet Coke and a box of Milk Duds.

McDonald’s workers struck for higher wages Thursday backed by

Democratic Party activists and union leaders. Labor support is a core party belief. The Syrians should expect the Obama adminis-tration to attack on a Sunday just so they can get time and a half.

President Obama asked Con-gress to authorize force against Syria’s Bashar al-Assad to help rebels overthrow him. It’s part of the deal. Whenever the CIA in-stalls a dictator, it comes with a factory warranty guaranteeing that every forty years we rotate the ty-rants.

John Kerry urged a U.S. at-tack on Syria Tuesday after ac-knowledging that the U.S. made mistakes in Iraq. That’s the spirit.It’s an article of faith in U.S. for-eign policy that you can’t undo your mistakes, but you can always make bigger ones that will over-shadow them.

Dennis Rodman was invited to return to North Korea

Letters to the editor

A call to action From Phil Kinser, CEO/general manager, Southwest Iowa Rural Electric CooperativeCorning

This is a call to ACTION for ru-ral electric cooperative member-owners and other interested par-ties.

Recently, a bureaucrat at the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) decided to dramatically change the rules on how rural electric coopera-tives, like Southwest lowa REC, receive federal disaster assistance to deal with the aftermath of a tor-nado, blizzard, ice storm or other catastrophic weather events. More

troubling, FEMA has determined it has the right to apply this change retroactively on funding for feder-ally acknowledged disasters that electric cooperatives received as far back as 2010.

This “moving of the goal posts” is a betrayal of the public trust and has the potential to force our mem-ber-owners to repay federal disas-ter assistance that we were entitled to receive under the terms of our prior agreement with FEMA. If FEMA is allowed to renege on its prior commitment and change what is expected of us, they could be significantly detrimental to South-west lowa REC and other electric cooperatives that received disaster funds in good faith, while comply-

ing with all the FEMA regulationsthat were in place at the time the funding was provided. The price our member-owners pay for elec-tricity could be directly impacted by this action.

Please get involved and demand that FEMA reconsider this dra-matic change. Direct FEMA to have an open dialogue with rural electric cooperatives about how this issue can be resolved fairly.

Go to www.swiarec.coop for a link under “News and Events” to contact your federal legislators on this issue. Alternatively, contact us at (888) 591-1261 to give us au-thorization to make the contact on your behalf. Thank you.

Good news, bad news From Gibson Memorial Library Board and Nancy Loudon, city council rep-resentativeCreston

Good news: $150,000 of Hy-Vee receipts have been turned in. The library will now receive $1,000 as per agreement.

Bad news: Some people have quit saving their receipts. PLEASE CONTINUE TO SAVE YOUR HY-VEE RECEIPTS. This is an ongoing project.

Good news: Jeromy Brown is our new board member. He teach-es English, speech and drama at Diagonal Community Schools and has lived in Creston since last Sep-tember. Thank you, Jeromy, for stepping forward.

Bad news: We need one more board member. Why not get in-volved? Be a leader and make a difference. Be a library board member.

Good news: Grant applications have been or will be sent to Dekko, BNSF Railroad, Casey’s and Schil-

dbergs to help with the cost of re-locating the library to the former Lincoln School.

Bad news: We need current or former railroaders to write letters of support for the relocation. Mail or take your letters to the library.

The Lincoln site will give Union County a terrific library that allows us to reach our full potential and benefit the entire community. We deserve it, and the library board is working, with your help, to make it happen.

Friday, Sept. 6, 2013ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Do whatever you can to get better organized because this is what you want to accomplish right now. Make repairs, and give yourself the right equip-ment to do a good job.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s your turn to be creative and explore your artistic tal-ents. This is also an ideal time for vacations, playful activities, sports events and pursuing new romance.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Conversations with a parent might be significant now. You also might want to cocoon at home because you need to pull your act together before you take it on the road.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Short trips, conversations with everyone plus increased read-ing and writing are your focus. Learn whatever you can. Enjoy meeting new faces.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Think about your finances and how you can best use what you own to live easily and smooth-ly. This is a good time to think about your values and what really matters.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) With both the Sun and Mercury in your sign now, you’re the flavor of

the month. Don’t hesitate to put yourself first. It’s time to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) It’s appropriate to work behind the scenes or lie in the weeds because you need to strategize your coming year (after your birthday arrives). What’s next?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Enjoy your increased popu-larity! Join clubs, groups and associations. Many of you enjoy hanging out with young-er people now.

property, taxes, debt and insur-ance issues. Clear up as much of this as you can.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It’s important to get more sleep now because the Sun is as far away from your sign as it gets all year. You also have a good opportunity to learn more about your style of relat-ing to those closest to you.

ings and in your own presenta-tion. (You always dress well.) By extension, you are drawn to romantic love. You are a great planner, even if things don’t always unfold as you expect. In fact, this year, an impor-tant decision will rise. Choose wisely.

Dear Heloise: My hint is for CLEANING MUSH-ROOMS. I’ve always found that they need a little washing, but too much can make them mushy. I put my mushrooms in reusable mesh produce bags, secure the ties, then use the bag itself to lightly scrub the mushrooms under running water. It cleans them efficient-ly without damaging them. — Audrey Mauro, via email

You’re right, you don’t want to soak mushrooms in water, but you can clean them under a little running water and pat dry before cooking or adding to a salad. — Heloise

MICROWAVE CLEAN-ING

Dear Heloise: I have a NEW above-the-counter mi-crowave that I used for pop-corn. I apparently left the pop-corn bag in too long. The bag got smoky, caused the interior to be covered in a smoke film, and it smells on the interior. I was able to get most of the smell out, but a “yellowing” color remains on the interior. Any suggestions? Thank you. — Rick Schweer, via email

Rick, this happens a lot! Heloise hint here: Don’t walk away from the micro-wave while cooking popcorn! Sprinkle some baking soda on a wet, clean sponge or dish-cloth, and wipe all the inside surfaces of the microwave,

especially where you notice the yellowing. You may need to do this a couple of times to completely remove the dis-coloring. Baking soda is such a good cleaner and deodor-izer. Since it is so cheap, it’s a favorite of mine. Want to know ways to save money on cleaning around your home? All you need to do to get my baking-soda pamphlet is send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Baking soda also can be used to clean the rub-ber gasket on your microwave as well as your refrigerator. Make a paste of half water and half baking soda, and use a sponge to rub it around the gasket. Rinse well, using a damp microfiber cloth, and dry. — Heloise

FLOWER FOLLOW-UPDear Heloise: I read the ar-

ticle about the lady who buys flowers at the dollar store for the cemetery. I am a volunteer and take care of a community cemetery. I find good, colorful flowers at garage and estate

sales. The stems must be long enough to lodge in PVC pipe, which I’ve discovered is the best, longest-lasting recepta-cle to use (glass breaks; metal rusts). Also, I buy flags for the veterans’ graves. — Doris C., San Angelo, Texas

How thoughtful of you. For my readers, please be sure, if you use this hint, that the cem-etery allows artificial flowers. — Heloise

DINING OR OFFICE CHAIRS

Dear Heloise: I was look-ing for practical and com-fortable dining-room chairs. I found the perfect solution in an office-supply store. I bought four brown-leather, low-back office chairs. They can be raised or lowered, de-pending on the guest. They have arms, can swivel and, best of all, are on casters and roll out for vacuuming. — J.M. in New Hampshire

Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Anto-nio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to [email protected]. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

New coach brings single-wing to ClarindaUnconventional offense based on deception

By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

Clarinda and Creston/O-M are coming off vastly different opening-week experiences heading into their non-district encoun-ter Friday night at Panther Field.

While the Panthers were rolling to a 50-20 victory at Chariton in a game fea-turing 10 touchdowns and 646 total offensive yards, Clarinda was fallling 7-3 at home to Atlantic.

The only touchdown of the game came midway through the third quarter, when Trojan quarterback Joe Walker connected with sophomore receiver Bren-dan Holmes on a quick 25-yard strike.

Atlantic ran 64 offen-sive plays to Clarinda’s 43, killing six minutes off the clock down the stretch with a lengthy drive to seal the victory. Atlantic out-gained the Cardinals in to-tal yards, 238 to 155.

Clarinda, under new head coach Mark Schilb, didn’t attempt a pass un-til falling behind in the second half, and finished 0-for-2 through the air in the game.Single-wing

The Panther defense will

take a step back in time Friday, facing the single-wing offense installed by Schilb, a former Clarinda quarterback. It features a “spinner back” instead of a quarterback, and the center may snap it to ei-ther him or the running back, who stand together in shotgun formation.

Every play is designed to create misdirection and deception. The quick break of the huddle with moving parts can create confusion for the defense.

Schilb, a 1991 graduate of Clarinda High School, is trying to energize the program that is coming off a 1-8 season, including a

49-7 loss to Creston/O-M last season. Schilb most re-cently coached at Oskaloo-sa, with head coaching jobs at Sigourney and Perry be-fore that.

“They have very big kids who can block and move,” said Atlantic coach Nick Ross. “Up front, they can present some very real challenges.”

Having watched video of the loss to Atlantic, Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison agrees. He said six turnovers trying to execute the new offense hampered the Cardinals, who were moving the ball against the Trojans.

“They put the ball on

the ground and that hurt them,” Morrison said. “It’s not an easy offense to run, and they will get better with that. They are good up front.”

The Panthers’ defensive philosophy isn’t based on watching the ball in the backfield, Morrison said, so all of the spinning and deception behind the line of scrimmage shouldn’t adversely affect the team’s ability to contain the Car-dinals.

“Our linebackers read guards and tackles and we don’t look in the back-field,” Morrison said. “At least, we’re not supposed to. Our defensive linemen

d o n ’ t s h o o t g a p s . They re-act to t h e i r keys. So, that will help us a ton. It’s just a matter of adjusting to their unbalanced for-mation, which they are in probably 99 percent of the time.”

Dakota Woods was the senior playmaker at quar-terback for Clarinda a year ago, but several running backs, wingbacks and re-ceivers return this season. Seniors Troy Aldrich, who played some quarterback a year ago, and Blake Luna are threats at wingback in the new offense.

Other returnees are Luke Strong and Nate Jones at running back and recevier Jett Kettwick, who had three kick return touchdowns a year ago as well as leading the team in tackles.

Junior Christian Laurit-sen takes over the spinner back position, which starts most of the offensive plays. He will run some power plays inside, especially after

Key district games on tap for area Eight-Man teamsBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

With one district game already in the books for several area football teams, week two’s district matchups could go a long way in determining how the race for the four play-off positions in each dis-trict will take shape.

Murray, 1-1 for the sea-son and 1-0 in Eight-Man District 6, hosts Ankeny Christian Academy at 7 p.m. Friday.

Ankeny Christian en-ters the contest with an 0-1 overall record, having lost 52-13 to Northeast Ham-ilton last week in a non-district game.

Much of the Eagles’ suc-cess in that game came through the air, as junior

quarterback Noah Szy-manski finished 12-of-31 passing for 166 yards and one touchdown.

Northeast Hamilton shut down the Ankeny Chris-tian rushing attack, hold-ing the Eagles to just 67 rushing yards.

Szymanski’s favorite tar-get in the opening week loss was junior Daniel Strong, who caught six passes for 120 yards and one touchdown.

Murray comes off a 64-28 win over Mormon Trail on Friday.

So far this year, quarter-back Matt Barnes is 6-of-19 passing for 139 yards, while senior Andrew Rid-er has led the rushing at-tack with 309 yards on 33 carries.

Rider has been danger-

ous on defense, as well. He has three interceptions and has returned two of them for touchdowns this year.

Murray won last year’s contest 90-12.Southwest Valley

The Timberwolves of Southwest Valley face a tough test F r i d a y when they travel to defending d i s t r i c t champion S i d n e y in a battle of teams that are 2-0 overall and 1-0 in Eight-Man District 8.

Lenox is also 2-0 and 1-0 in District 8.

Sidney has done much of its damage on the ground this season, rushing for 642

yards in its two games.Senior Chris Osborne

leads the way with 325 yards on 12 carries, includ-ing five touchdowns. Ju-nior Erick Rodriguez has 137 yards and four touch-downs on eight carries.

Sidney has only thrown the ball 12 times in two games, but has been effi-cient on its six completions from quarterback Michael Coates, who has 168 yards and two touchdowns.

Southwest Valley has shown an ability to balance the pass and the run in its two games.

Jordan Stuart is 10-of-17 passing for 222 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions.

Zach Barton leads a four-headed rushing at-tack with 285 yards and six

touchdowns. Tyler Bissell, Gunner McCuen and Stu-art all have over 150 rush-ing yards for the season, as well.

Defensively, Southwest Valley has held its first two opponents to just 28 and 12 points, respectively.Lenox

The Lenox Tigers look to stay in a tie for first place in Eight-Man District 8 as they travel to Stanton, which is 1-1 overall and 0-1 in the district.

Stanton fell to Southwest Valley 60-12 last week.

Kyle Peterson is 8-of-23 passing for Stanton with 121 yards and two touch-downs to go with two in-terceptions.

Spartans overcome sluggish startBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

After dropping the first game of Wednesday’s IC-CAC matchup against NI-ACC 25-22, the Southwest-ern Spartans came alive and defeated the Trojans 22-25, 25-16, 25-18, 25-5 in front of a glowing crowd on “Neon Night.”

“We had no enthusiasm to play the first game,” Spartan head coach Melissa Blessington said. “Literally, we came out the most flat we’ve ever come out the en-tire time I’ve coached these girls. I think they were just kind of like, ‘OK, we’re here to play.’ But they came back and did really, really well those next three games.”

Sophomore Ashley Strong of Vinton came up big in the service game once again for the Spartans, giv-ing them the boost they needed in the second and third games.

Molly Schimp, the sopho-more libero from Hampton, served the final five points of the second game to pull the Spartans even with the Trojans at one set apiece.

Later, in the fourth game,

Schimp served the final eight points of the match, in-cluding two aces during that service string.

“We keyed on one girl,” Blessington said. “Molly and Shelby (Sullivan) did a really good job of serving it at her, and so did Cassidy (Yong). Ashley Strong has been serving really well for us all year. In that second and third games, she’s the reason we were staying in those, because she had some really aggressive serving.”

As a team, the Spartans finished the night with 11 aces.

Meanwhile, setter Cas-sidy Yong did a good job of spreading the ball around to a host of capable hitters.

Yong, the nation’s leader in assists per game, f i n i s h e d the night with 38 assists.

InvestigationP H I L A D E L P H I A

— TMZ.com is report-ing that former Iowa State basketball star and Philadelphia 76ers player Royce White is being investigated for an alleged domestic assault that took place in June.

White was drafted by the Houston Rock-ets in 2012 but did not play after clashing with the team over the best course of treatment for his anxiety disorder. He played one season of college basketball at Iowa State.

TMZ reports that, ac-cording to Houston po-lice, the incident is un-der investigation and no charges have been filed. The alleged assault in-volved former girlfriend Tania Mehra, according to TMZ.

TMZ reports: “Ac-cording to law enforce-ment, records show someone called 911 on June 22, 2013 to report a laceration above Tania’s right eye. Tania claimed she suffered the injury from an ‘accidental fall.’“

But last week, ac-cording to the web site, Mehra filed an incident report with Houston po-lice saying that she lied at the time to protect White’s career.Smith starts

NEW YORK — Rookie Geno Smith will be the New York Jets’ starting quarterback for Sunday’s opener against the Tampa Bay Bucca-neers.

The Jets announced the decision Wednesday morning on their web-site in a story featuring quotes from coach Rex Ryan and offensive co-ordinator Marty Morn-hinweg praising Smith, the second-round pick from West Virginia.

Smith, 22, had been competing for the start-ing job with incumbent starter Mark Sanchez, who suffered a shoul-der injury in the fourth quarter of a preseason game Aug. 24.

That all but sealed Smith’s hold on the job, at least to start the sea-son. The Jets are carry-ing two other quarter-backs, Matt Simms and Brady Quinn, on the roster while Sanchez re-covers.Bills starter

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Coach Doug Marrone made the announce-ment at a team meeting early Wednesday morn-ing that EJ Manuel will be the starting quarter-back for the Bills when they take on the Patriots in the regular-season opener Sunday.

About a week ago, it appeared as though, be-cause of Manuel’s minor knee surgery, undrafted free agent rookie Jeff Tuel would get the start in Manuel’s place.Cards win

CINCINNATI — Matt Adams’ second homer sent St. Louis to a 5-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in 16 innings on Wednesday night.


DCG TourneyGRIMES — Nodaway

Valley opened up the sea-son with a tough test at the Dallas Center-Grimes Tournament on Aug. 27, going 0-4 against strong competition.

The Wolverines lost by 2-0 sweeps to Fort Dodge, Des Moines Roosevelt, PCM and Southeast Polk.

“We started off nervous with our first game and playing a 5A school,” head coach Hannah West said. “After the girls settled down, they became really scrappy and dug up every-thing hit to our side of the court.”

Megan McIntosh had a strong t o u r n a -ment for the Wol-v e r i n e s , f in i sh ing with nine kills and eight aces on 19-of-22 serving for the day.

Sidney Hohertz added nine kills for the tourna-ment. Katy Erhsam led the team with 19 digs.Winterset 3, Nodaway Valley 0

GREENFIELD — Nod-away Valley’s first home match of the season ended in a 3-0 sweep at the hands of Winterset on Thursday.

“I think we had a lot of nerves since this was the first game at home,” head coach Hannah West said. “We had a lot of little er-rors that need to be cor-rected. Everything we did get over the net, Winterset was digging up. They were a scrappy team. Megan McIntosh was our leader and strongest hitter to-night.”

McIntosh recorded six kills and served 6-of-8 for the match. Emily Hunting-

ton served a perfect 9-of-9 and set five assists.

Josie Carter led the Wol-verines with seven assists, while also serving 10-of-12 with one ace. Katy Ehrsam served 6-of-6 with one ace and a team-high eight digs. Christine Gross and Sid-ney Hohertz each served 6-of-7. Hohertz finished with three kills and Gross added two.Central Decatur 2, Mount Ayr 0

MOUNT AYR — Mount Ayr suffered a 2-0 sweep by scores of 25-20 and 25-23 to Central Decatur here in the Bedford triangular, which had to be moved to Mount Ayr because of the extreme temperatures and no air conditioning in Bed-ford’s gym.

“We struggled to get things going tonight, as we spent both games battling from behind,” head coach Tori Braby said. “We had a hard time getting our serves in, only serving 75 percent. Kelcie Shields got a few key kills, but we need to work on feeding our hit-ters the ball more.”

Shields led the Raider-ettes with five kills. Paige Daughton added two kills and also finished with five digs. She served 12-of-14 with three aces.

Brook Rychnovsky also finished with five digs for the Raiderettes. Shelbie Greene served a perfect 6-of-6.Bedford 2,Mount Ayr 0

MOUNT AYR — In the second game of the Bedford triangular be-ing played at Mount Ayr, Bedford handed the Raid-erettes another 2-0 sweep, this time by scores of 25-18, 25-20.

“We need to get more attacks if we want to win,” Mount Ayr head coach Tori Braby said. “Our

passing improved a ton and our setting was off. Hats off to Tessa Shields. She came into the game when we were down 20-6 and served 12 serves in a row, six of them being aces. Right now, I am playing with young kids, starting three freshmen, so always room for improvement.”

“Defensively, they are about the same as they were,” Morrison said. “They run some 4-4 cover three, and in passing situ-ations we’ll see some 4-3 cover two. They have some big, physical guys.”

Last year, the Pan-thers racked up 231 rush-

ing yards in the first half alone, taking a 42-0 lead. Creston/O-M finished with 441 total yards while holding Clarinda to 45 net yards.

Among the Panther re-turnees who scored in that game, Trevor Frain had a 42-yard touchdown run and caught a pass in the flat for a 67-yard scoring play. Maxx Walters scored on a 15-yard reverse, and this year’s quarterback, Brandon Phipps, carried

for a 21-yard TD run.Creston/O-M attempt-

ed only 11 passes in that game.

The Panthers had a good run-pass mix in their open-ing victory at Chariton, as Phipps had three TD pass-es, Alex Nielsen added another, and Adam Baker made his varsity debut at running back with 159 yards and a touchdown.

“I told the kids, I think it’s the best we’ve looked in four years in our open-

er,” Morrison said. “We were physical and execut-ed well. We have some penalties and turnovers to clean up, but in actual execution of the offensive plays and lining up proper-ly and reacting on defense, it was really good.”

The freshman game kicks off at 4:45 p.m. fol-lowed by varsity at 7:30.

Junior McClain Haines is out for the season with a broken finger, requiring surgery.

good our passing has been,” Blessington said about Yong leading the nation in assists per game. “And how good she is at spreading the ball to all of our hitters.”

Freshman Allyson Ko-cour of Manning led the Spartans with 15 kills, while Jenna Casey, Alex Duffy, Sullivan and Mel Mangrum all recorded at least six kills.Fourth game

Once the Spartans took a 2-1 lead in games, Bless-ington gave her team a task that would psychologically put the Trojans away.

Every point in the fourth game was met with a big celebration by the Spartans, sucking the last signs of life right out of NIACC.

“I told them every single point in that fourth game you do well on, act like it’s the most exciting point of your life,” Blessington said. “That’s what we did. We knew we were a better over-all team, but if you don’t put the effort out, it doesn’t matter.”

Strong had a service string that lasted five points, bal-looning a 5-2 Spartan lead into a 10-2 lead in the fourth game.

Sullivan also served for five straight points, includ-ing a pair of aces, to increase Southwestern’s lead to 16-4.

Finally, Schimp took con-trol of the serve with a 17-5 lead and never relinquished it, as she served the Spartans

to a 25-5 victory.The Spartans, now 8-2

for the season and 1-1 in the ICCAC, return to ac-tion Friday at the Highland Community College Tour-nament. There, Southwest-ern will take on Division I

Clarke won two compet-itive sets, 25-21 and 25-19. For Lenox, Katie Dukes hit six kills and had four digs. Christensen set nine assists with five digs.Mart.-St. Marys 3, Nodaway Valley 0

MARTENSDALE — Martensdale-St. Marys squeezed out three close wins over Nodaway Val-ley Tuesday, 25-23, 25-23, 25-23.

“Martensdale-St. Marys

was a very scrappy team and everything we hit at them they were digging up,” said NV coach Han-nah West. “It was a very exciting game to watch. Unfortunately, it didn’t have quite the outcome we were hoping for.”

Christine Gross led the Wolverines in serve re-ceive and had a team-high eight kills. Sidney Hohertz had six digs in a good de-fensive effort, and Katy Ehrsam had a team-high 10 digs. Emily Schildberg contributed five kills and three blocks. Megan McIn-tosh served four aces.SW Valley 3,

Central Decatur 0LEON — Southwest

Valley swept Central De-catur Tuesday, 25-17, 28-26, 25-19.

Marie Palmer had 13 kills in 20 a t t e m p t s for the T i m b e r -w o l v e s . S y d n e y M a y n e s had seven kills. Kel-sie Kin-man had a good overall night with four kills, 10-of-14 serving with three aces and six digs.

Caitlyn Damewood set

11 assists and Casaundra Currin added nine.

Sierra Sleep served six aces and Mikayla Dolch added four while serving 16-17.. Sleep had six digs.

“It was a good win for us,” said coach Lindsay Wetzel. “Your first game of the season you always have jitters, and with us having a new mascot, col-ors, uniforms and team-mates, I think it added to the pressure of the kids wanting to do well.”

Wetzel said the team used a quicker tempo of-fense effectively, but will look to improve going into tonight’s match at Mal-vern.

HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ

Three NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers were injured in the last few weeks. Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. suffered injuries to their right wrists after crashing at Bristol. Bobby Labonte broke three ribs after a bicycle accident near his home. Play-ing hurt is part of the game in NAS-CAR. This is Hamlin’s second injury in 2013. He fractured his lower back in the spring and sat out four races dur-ing recovery.

Hamlin speaking to SiriusXM NAS-CAR Radio: “Oddly enough I have the same injury as Martin. I’ve got a splint on my right hand, right on my right thumb right there where he broke his bone. Mine’s all black and blue. I guess we had the same thing happen. His was obvi-ously worse. I couldn’t get my fi nger out of the wheel quick enough before it spun, and obviously kinda it took some liga-ments with it. So I feel his pain, and it’s going to be tough. I tested on Monday and Tuesday at Chicago and I couldn’t

put my thumb on the wheel so that’s something that he’s gonna have to fi ght over these next six or seven weeks or so while it is healing. It gets better. It’ll get better. I’ve had this injury before. It’s not that big of a deal but it really can affect how you grip the steering wheel.”

Truex in a press release: “It’s unfor-tunate that it happened at this point in the season given our position in the standings. Our goals don’t change. We are going to Atlanta to win. It will be

a challenge but I think we’re up to it. I know I am.”

Team owner Tad Geschickter on La-bonte: “Bobby is pretty banged up right now. So I guess as a football head coach says, ‘It may be a game-time decision.’ Bobby still has a burning passion to drive the race car and see his contract through the end, but having said that we obvious-ly don’t want to him to risk further injury or push the issue, so more to come.”

Playing hurt is part of the game for drivers

Super Team or super stupid? That is the question. Gene Haas, the founder of Stewart-Haas Racing, fl exed his alpha-dog muscles last week and hired Kurt Busch to drive a fourth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car in 2014.

The team’s co-owner, Tony Stewart, who willed this team into a winner, was not told in advance of Haas’ hire and at fi rst was angered by the unilateral move. Apparently, all is well after Haas explained himself to Stewart, who is sidelined from driving duty with a broken leg.

One gets the sense that Haas, who has poured millions of dollars into this operation, wanted to have his identity emerge from the team, where the perception is Stewart calls all the shots.

Hiring Busch sure feels like a not-so-fast-Tony moment in the Stewart-Haas timeline. But the questions remain about what this will do to the entire operation.

Stewart has everything neatly lined up for 2014. He cut Ryan New-man from next year’s roster to make way

for Kevin Harvick and the Bud-weiser sponsorship money. Danica Patrick has GoDaddy onboard for several more seasons, and Stewart has a variety of cash backers for his No. 14 Chevy.

Now the team is scrambling to make room for Busch, which could have negative implications if not handled with kid gloves. Busch’s primary sponsor will be Haas Automation.

“It all happened pretty quick as everybody knows,” Patrick said.

Stewart, Harvick and Busch represent three ultra-uber racing personalities, and, if they don’t mix it could be problematic.

Racing isn’t just about a driver going fast. It’s about how people work together as a team; how driver, crew chief and owner communicate. It’s about team chemistry.

Will Busch be the spark for the Bunsen burner, or will this cause an explosion in the laboratory? Only time will tell.

KID GETS THE CALLKyle Larson’s most famous

racing moment was during the Daytona Nationwide Series race at Daytona in

February when his stock car turned dart and went straight into a catch-fence crossover gate, injuring dozens of race fans. Fast-forward to last week and Larson, 21, was announced as the guy taking the wheel of the Cup Series No. 42 Earnhardt Ganassi Racing Chevy from Juan Pablo Montoya. “Kyle was our fi rst choice,” car owner Chip Ga-nassi said. “We did not offer any deals to any other drivers. We talked to other drivers. We’re thrilled to have Kyle. Nothing he has done makes us feel he cannot move to the Sprint Cup Series.”

LAME DUCKSThere was a rumor fl oating

around that ESPN and TNT were shopping their 2014 NASCAR television contracts to NBC and Fox. NBC and Fox will be NASCAR’s only broadcasters in 2015. ESPN has been through this painful, lame-duck experience before and it’s no fun for anyone — well, except NBC. NASCAR quickly shot the speculation down and said all 2014 con-tracts will remain in place.

It really was labor, wasn’t it?Labor Day Weekend is meant to

be a labor of love for one and all, but good grief … Jeff Gordon and Carl Ed-wards are mad at each other, Chase Elliott and Ty Dillon (and Richard Childress) were mad after the truck race, Brad Keselowski’s Cup defense is on life support, and Jimmie Johnson has slipped the rail.

Will things get better soon?This week at Richmond is when

dreams offi cially die. Entire cam-paigns (competitive and marketing) are blown out of the water when teams miss the Chase. So, you tell me how much fun it’ll be.

Is Kyle Larson ready for the big jump?

There are those who like to sound wise and seasoned by suggesting Larson needs more time in the Na-tionwide Series before going full time in NASCAR’s biggest league. Larson may or may not hit the ground run-ning next year, but if he doesn’t, it’s not because he needs another year in Triple-A ball. Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart are two guys who didn’t light it up in the old Busch Series, yet seemed to adjust pretty well, in case you didn’t notice.

This wasn’t one of Kyle Larson’s better headline grabbers.Kyle Larson: Hit or miss for Chip Ganassi Racing?GODSPEAK: Too young and too soon. Ganassi will lament his decision to release Juan Pablo Mon-toya. Larson may grow into the positon one day.KEN’S CALL: Mark it down — he’s a future star.

Any chance Kurt Busch blends in well at Stewart-Haas?GODSPEAK: Busch is a diamond-level Cup Series driver, but throw that diamond into a blender and something is gonna break.KEN’S CALL: Sure, no problem. Forced mar-riages always work out, right?

where the road goes over to the park.”

Akes said the agreement would give the park the right to use the two sections of road as part of the bike trail.

Carr said trail users will not have to go onto Green Valley Road. The plan is to push up a berm so the trail can run parallel to the road.

“While they are working, it will be in our right-of-way, but when the trail is com-plete it will just run along the side separate of the road,” Akes said.

Part of the contract re-quires new road signs to warn motorists of the bicycle and foot traffic. Akes said there will be 12 new signs warning drivers from both directions.

Future plansCarr hopes the new addi-

tion to the trail builds sup-port to continue extending the trail the entire circum-ference of the lake.

“We don’t have the next phase written in stone,” Carr

said. “It will be interesting to see down the road if there is support for it.”

If the trail surrounds the lake, Carr estimated cyclists, runners and walkers could get about 18 miles for their workout.

“By the time you ride from town, you can make a nice little ride out of it,” Carr said.

Other county newsAt Monday’s Union

County Supervisor’s meet-ing, Akes scheduled a public hearing 10 a.m. Monday for more information about the new CAT motor grater.

The proposal to buy a new motor grater was one of six suggestions proposed by Akes. Other options in-cluded rebuilding older ma-chines or purchasing used equipment from another county.

Akes also reported the second county mowing is more than 75 percent com-plete. Mowers target main highways and problem ar-eas for the third pass to help prevent snow drifts.

TRAIL:

CNA photo by KYLE WILSONThe X mark on the map indicates where the current Creston walking/bike trail ends. The line around the east side of the lake is the proposed 3 1/2-mile trail. Workers will be clearing brush and mowing along the future trail location to prepare for construction.

GREENFIELD — Aug. 26 was the first day to file nomination papers with Adair County city clerk to run for city council. Candi-date filing deadline is 5 p.m. Sept. 19. The city election will be Nov. 5.

Voter pre-registration deadline is 5 p.m. Oct. 25. The law now allows voters to register on Election Day;

however, it is a lengthy pro-cess and takes extra time at the polls.

Voters may file an absen-tee ballot request with the Adair County auditor’s of-fice at any time. The dead-line to request an absentee ballot be mailed is 5 p.m. Nov. 1. The last day to vote absentee in the auditor’s of-fice is 8 to 11 a.m. Nov. 5.

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

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
