Southwestern Community College (SWCC) enrollment dropped slightly during its 2014 fiscal year, but it jumped back up in 2015 to what it was before the decline: more than 2,100 students. An official headcount for the upcoming fall semester will be taken Sept. 15, which will give Beth Kulow, SWCC dean of student services, an estimate of what the total 2015-2016 enrollment will be.

SWCC housing fills more quickly than ever before

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA staff reporter

khaugen@crestonnews.com

With Southwestern Community College (SWCC) enrollment on the rise again and a larger number of students wanting or needing to live on campus, the demand for more housing options is becoming urgent.

Housing overflow It’s no surprise SWCC’s on-campus housing, especially the apartment-style dorms, are a major attraction for students considering the college. This year, the dorms were completely full by June 1.

“We have seen a trend in recent years where our housing is filled, but this is the first year housing has filled this early,” said Beth

Kulow, S W C C dean of student services.

W i t h the number of beds dou- Kulow bled up in the apartment-style rooms and the number of students who have had to locate off-campus housing, Kulow said the college could definitely use another residence hall.

“It’s a great problem to have,” said Tom Lesan, SWCC vice president of economic development.

The housing wait list this year started at about 38 students. There were 19 left on the list as of last week. New residence halls were going

to be further off in SWCC’s future, but this need for more housing as soon as possible led SWCC’s board of directors to add two more dorm buildings to its current five-year facilities plan. The two halls, tentatively slated for 2016 and 2020, are simply plans as of now – nothing has been approved yet.

“I would love to have a new residence hall every year,” Kulow said. “We analyze our data to make sure we’ll be able to have occupancy in the hall, and obviously cost and state aid are significant factors in determining what we actually do with residence halls.”

Kulow encourages incoming students who still need to secure housing to visit the Creston Chamber

of Commerce website to find rental properties.

Increasing enrollment Though SWCC’s enrollment dropped slightly during the 2013-2014 academic year, it jumped back up in 2014-2015 to what it was before the decline: more than 2,100 students.

“Our enrollment typically trends with the economy, so when the economic recession took place, our enrollment skyrocketed,” Kulow said. “The (enrollment) trend has been up lately, and we hope it continues.”

LENOX — On Sunday, Lenox will play host to magic and childhood fun in the form of the Culpepper and Meriweather Circus.

C and M Circus will be giving performances at 2 and 4:30 p.m. Sunday at the Lenox rodeo grounds parking lot, located at the intersection of East Iowa and South Temple streets.

“I probably called five or six different communitites that had them before, and they gave me glowing reviews,” said Michelle Tullberg, Lenox Area Chamber of Commerce coordinator.

“They were very impressed with the way they handled the circus and the animals.

They thought they handled

them with a lot of care and kindness. ... They were very clean in their exit, and just had very good reviews.”

The circus, which is based out of Oklahoma, is in its 30th year and is doing a tour of Iowa including Prairie City, Chariton and Osceola. Acts include a unique chorus line, big cat, single trapeze and tight rope performances.

“They (C and M Circus) actually stopped by and had a pre-booking agent who hits towns,” Tullberg said.

“We have not had a circus in Lenox, it’s probably been at least 30 years.”

A free morning tour and tent raising will take place 9:30 a.m. Sunday, depending on weather and other Please see CIRCUS, Page 2

Jimmy Carter to undergo radiation for cancer on brain ATLANTA (AP) — Former President Jimmy Carter announced today that he will begin radiation treatment on cancer that is on multiple spots on his brain.

“I get my first radiation treatment for the melanoma in my brain this afternoon,” Carter said during a news conference where he talked openly about his cancer and how he would cut back on his work with the Carter Center.

Carter, appearing in a dark blazer, red tie and jeans and surrounded by friends and family, said at first he thought the cancer was confined to his liver and that the operation earlier this month had completely removed it,

“so I was quite relieved.”

But that same afternoon, an MRI showed it was on his brain.

“I just thought I had a few weeks left, but I was surprisingly at ease. I’ve had a wonderful life,” the 90-year-old Carter said.

Carter announced Aug. 12 that liver surgery found cancer that has spread to other parts of his body. Carter said it’s still not clear exactly where the cancer originated.

Doctors not involved in treating Carter have said those characteristics could determine Carter’s options for treating the cancer. His Please see CARTER, Page 2

Deaths Ruth Lyons Creston

Ruth Lyons, 70, of Creston died Monday, Aug. 17, 2015, at Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines.

Lyons Funeral services will be 1 p.m.

Monday, Aug. 24, at Powers Funeral Home, junction of highways 34 and 25, in Creston. The Rev. Jonathan Watt will officiate. Family will receive friends noon to 1 p.m. before the service, at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the family. Online condolences can be given at www.powersfh.com.

Ruth Ann Lyons, daughter of Edward Zook Dart and Hilda Weber Dart, was born June 29, 1945, in Lancaster, Pa. She graduated from J.P. McCaskey High School in Lancaster, Pa. Ruth married Mike Lyons.

They divorced after a brief time together. Ruth worked for 35 years at the Spring Air Mattress Factory in Denver, Colo.

On July 11, 1997, Ruth married Ray Hilderbrand in Denver, Colo. They moved to Creston in 2008. Ruth worked as a newspaper carrier for the Creston News Advertiser and had managed a large multi-county rural route for the Omaha World Herald for the past 8 years.

Ruth is survived by her husband, Ray Hilderbrand of Creston; daughter, Melissa (husband Jerry) Chapman of Creston; sons, Douglas (wife Brenda) Dart of Lancaster, Pa., and Johnny Pitch, Jr.; grandchildren, Marlana Reed of Carrollton, Mo., Dakota Dart of Lancaster, Pa., and Jessie and Conner Chapman, both of Creston; great-grandchildren, Harley, Bryson and Jaydin Lawrence, all of Creston; and many friends who loved her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, infant son Bryan Pitch and grandson Reno Dart.

then Kulow will have an idea what the total enrollment will be for the 2015-2016 year.

“If enrollment is up this fall, we have such a good retention rate that it’s obviously going to be up in the spring as well, and we’ll end up with a high enrollment for the year,” she said.

While the number of students graduating high school has decreased dramatically in Area 14 – which consists of eight counties, including Union and Adair – Kulow said enrollment has remained high.

“We always focus on every student who would like to come to Southwestern,” she said. “But we have strengthened our focus in this area as we know we have to try harder to get those students because there are less of them.”

Last year, 17.8 percent of the graduating seniors in Area 14 chose SWCC. “I anticipate that to be a lot higher this coming year because we have a lot of local kids who have elected to move into the residence halls, whether they’re from Creston, Afton, Orient,” Kulow said. “Typically, these students would commute or maybe choose to go to Iowa,

Iowa State or UNI, but with the rising cost of education, (SWCC) is a much more affordable option.”

Keeping enrollment high With the number of area graduating seniors decreasing and students having so many choices for college, SWCC faculty must be proactive in improving its academia and athletics to keep increasing enrollment.

“We are very inventive,” Kulow said. “We do everything from figuring out what the latest social media network is, so we can contact students, to regular advertisements.”

Athletics are becoming a bigger deal at SWCC, with sports shooting added during the 2013-2014 year, a new golf coach who started in June and bowling returning this fall.

One of SWCC’s newest extracurriculars is the psychology club, formed during the 2014-2015 year by Pyschology Instructor Tim Leonard and a student.

“Everything we do on campus really wraps around our strategic plan,” Kulow said. “When we think about adding or changing something, we always have (increasing enrollment) in the back of our minds.”

variables. Circus-goers can watch circus workers set up the big top, as well as meet the animals in the show and learn about circus life.

“I know Creston had theirs, what, July 1? So, that was kind of a concern of ours,” Tullberg said.

“But, not everyone went to that one, so we’re hoping it’ll still be a good deal for us.”

Advance tickets are available until Saturday for $10 for adults and $6 for children ages 2 to 12 years at Lenox businesses and organizations PCSB Bank, Iowa State Savings Bank, NuCara Pharmacy, Lenox Hardware, Lenox City Hall, Lenox Municipal Utilities and Lenox

Area Chamber of Commerce. After noon Saturday, tickets will be available at Lenox Hardware until 5 p.m. Tickets will be available the day of the circus starting an hour before each show at $13 for adults and $7 for children.

For more information or to reserve tickets, call 866-BIG-TOP-6, or visit the website at cmcircus. com.

Today is Aug. 20, the 232nd day of the year.

There are 133 days left in 2015. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Aug. 17-23) in history.

5 years ago Seven Creston High School students and two adult directors were part of the Southwest Iowa Honor Band that participated in the Iowa State Fair Parade in downtown Des Moines.

Mike Peters of Creston was assistant director of the band, and Lisa Peters was colorguard instructor.

Creston High School students selected as members of the band were Ashley Peters, senior, head drum major; Ashley Haines, senior, flute; RaeAnne Hopkins, freshman, trumpet; Tyler Shepherd, freshman, trombone; Jessica Cramer, junior, mallet percussion; Sarah Adams, junior, colorguard; and Taylor Gibson, freshman, colorguard.

The 200-member band won the Governor’s Cup for the best marching band in the parade and received a standing invitation to march in the Fiesta Bowl Parade in Phoenix, Ariz.

The project of constructing a new gas station and convenience store in Clearfield was considered a worthwhile endeavor. Taygold Co-op had purchased the old gas station building next to the co-op, and was in the process of turning it into a gas station and convenience store. The plan for the station was to offer oil changes and tire machine, repair and sales. As for the convenience store, it was to offer basic, simple groceries such as milk, bread and cheese. Tom Esser, general

manager at Taygold Co-op, said a lot of plans were still in the preliminary stage, but he expected the store and station to be called Taygold Services and completed early 2011.

Students moved into Southwestern Community College’s new dorm, Spartan Hall. The three-story facility housed 75 students in suite-style apartments with multiple bedrooms.

A cookout was held in the residence hall area courtyard that Sunday evening for more than 185 on-campus students. The students also received a tour of the new food service area in the student center.

10 years ago Cayden Shiltz, 10, and Abbey Bakerink 11, both of Creston, performed a tap dance in the Bill Riley talent show at the 2005 Iowa State Fair. The clogging duet advanced to the semifinals and were to perform again later in the

father, brother and two sisters died of pancreatic cancer. His mother also had the disease. Carter said no cancer has been found on his pancreas so far.

Carter’s health has been closely watched this year.

He cut short an election monitoring trip to Guyana in May. A spokeswoman said he did not feel well and Carter later said he had a bad cold.

The center announced Carter had a small mass removed from his liver Aug. 3. Nine days later, Carter said that surgery revealed the cancer.

Carter was the nation’s 39th president, advancing as a virtual unknown on the national stage to defeat President Gerald Ford in 1976. But several foreign policy crises, in particular the Iran hostage crisis,

crushed his bid for re-election and Ronald Reagan swept into the White House.

The native of tiny Plains, Georgia, rebuilt his career as a humanitarian guiding the center focused on global issues, including health care and democracy. Carter earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, helped defuse nuclear tensions in the Koreas and helped avert a U.S. invasion of Haiti.

He and his wife, Rosalynn, still make regular appearances at events in Atlanta and travel overseas. When the couple is in Plains, Carter frequently teaches a Sunday School class before services at Maranatha Baptist Church.

He plans to teach this weekend as scheduled, according to the church.

week for the finals.

St. Malachy planned to start school one week late due to delays in construction. New windows, geothermal climate-control, electrical upgrades and a fire-alarm system were some of the improvements made to the school. Public schools were going to start as planned on Monday, and St. Malachy planned to start on the following Monday. Adjustments to the school calendar had to be made.

20 years ago Creston Schools welcomed the new teachers for the 1995-96 school year. They included Mary Lou Judd (high school guidance), Susan Schutte (middle school special education), Le Ann Nispel (Lincoln special education), Jo Adams (middle school language arts), Wendy Hartsock (middle school social studies), Roger Brown (middle

school band), Michael Peters (high school band), Deb Fischer (elementary school band), and Angie Tipling (middle school special education).

16-year-old Todd Stalker was the first Iowan to win the American Junior Quarter Horse World Championship. Stalker, riding 11-year-old quarter horse Zippo Cash Bo, topped 109 entries in the 18 and under division at the competition in Fort Worth, Texas. He had placed 10th and sixth the previous two years, and this was the fifth year he had qualified to compete by being in the top two in Iowa.

Terry Donahue, Creston’s mayor for the past 14 years, announced he would not seek re-election in the November elections.He said it was time for a change after 17 years of public service to Creston as a councilman and mayor.

Alligator turned over to Iowa shelter to end up in Nebraska SIOUX CITY (AP) — A 2½-foot-long alligator listed for sale by a Sioux City teenager instead will end up at a Nebraska college.

Sioux City officials learned of the posting and soon found the 16-year-old owner, whose posting said he wanted $400 for the reptile, Allie, and Allie’s 75-gallon aquarium, heat lamps and water heater. The boy had bought the alligator from an Internet website.

Animal control officials

say Iowa has barred alligators from being kept as pets.

The alligator was turned over to Sioux City Animal Adoption and Rescue Center on Tuesday. Cindy Rarrat, who owns the center, says Allie is the third alligator her facility has received in three years.

Allie eventually will be sent to Southeast Community College in Lincoln, Neb., and become part of the school’s reptile lab.

OPINION Happy anniversary

Today is Aug. 20. Historical events for today include: • the American Civil War ended in 1866, • NASA launched Voyager 2 into space in 1977, • in 1988, a ceasefire was agreed upon after almost eight years of fighting in the Iran-Iraq War, • in 1992, American singer Demi Lovato was born, • Hollywood starlet Kim Kardashian and NBA player Kris Humphries married in 2011, • it’s World Mosquito Day, • and it’s my parents’ 32nd anniversary.

My sister, Breezy, and I never did a whole lot for my parents on

Girl on fire Bailey Poolman staff writer

their anniversary because I think to them, it’s not super important.

They’ve always been that way: it’s just another day.

I kind of like that theory.

That sounds a little strange and heartless, so let me explain. An anniversary is the marking of a special day. It shows how many years I’ve worked with the CNA and Creston Fire Department. It shows how many years I’ve been alive

(which will be 26 on Saturday). It shows the amount of years it’s been since the beginning of peace after World War II (which was in April and May of 1945), or how long it’s been since the death of someone famous, like Truman Capote (who died Aug. 25, 1984).

But, my parents’ theory, as I’ve witnessed these last soon-to-be 26 years, is an anniversary is just another day to be together.

My dad, Craig, has never been a romantic. My mom, Karen ,told me the story of their engagement: my mom was helping him with his finances one day and he had stuffed the ring under a pile of papers.

Maybe it’s just me, but when I get

married I certainly don’t want to find my ring amid bank statements.

But, that is just how my dad is. It didn’t matter to my mom because she loved him then, and still does.

My parents live life to the fullest, and taking one day to celebrate their wedding day just isn’t their style. I asked my mom what they planned on doing today, and she told me they’d be walking in the morning with the dog, just like they do every other day. They spend weekends camping at Saylorville Lake near Des Moines and Lake Red Rock near Pella, and they are even planning on camping at Green Valley for their first Creston Balloon Days next month.

That’s why I like their theory.

Anniversaries have their place, but sometimes it doesn’t matter how many years you’ve been together.

It matters how those years have been spent. And, the 32 years my parents have spent together have been wonderful. My sister and I were born during those 32 years.

We’ve lived in two different states in the Midwest. We’ve had pets, and done so many neat things together, and saying one day embodies all of that takes credit away from the other 364 days every year.

So, happy anniversary to my two wonderful parents, and I hope today is just as amazing as every other day is together!

Letter to the editor

More on veteran’s tax credit From Darlene Loudon Creston

I would like to clarify something in Lois Monday’s letter to the editor in Tuesday’s paper, Aug.18.

When she brought up the “Loudon” name mentioned about the veterans property tax, the “Loudon” she brought up was not my late husband. My late husband was very much military. He fought in combat in the Korean War. He was 100 percent service-connected, and even so, it came down that I’m not eligible for the tax credit. He received an honorable discharge

among other things for which we were very proud of him.

The Korean War is known as the “Forgotten War.” And that’s what it is. I know there is a lot of benefits available for the Vietnam Era. So go for it. The military system is broken. I think a first name needs to go with the last. If Monday is eligible, then more power to her.

My opinion is maybe our only hope is Mr. Trump to fix the military—the whole VA system from top to bottom. Our men, wives and children of the military deserve the best. My late husband was in the Army, and all branches are heros.

Art, politics and social change at the Venice Biennale VENICE, Italy — This historic city, famous for its canals and its sonorous gondoliers, its stunning museums brimming with art, where tens of thousands stroll the wide Piazza San Marco and wander its maze of narrow alleys, hosts the world’s oldest and most prestigious art biennial, the Venice Biennale. Every two years, artists from around the world showcase their work in scores of venues — some national pavilions sponsored by countries from around the globe; others international or independent exhibits. High art may seem a rarified field when the world is consumed by war, climate catastrophe, mass migrations and growing economic inequality. Art may seem a luxury as people of color are gunned down by police in American streets. This year’s Biennale, though, explodes these myths.

Okwui Enwezor of Nigeria is the Venice Biennale’s first African-born curator. Enwezor has been widely credited for bringing political art back to the 120-yearold festival. He says he was partly inspired by the 1974 Biennale, when part of the exhibits were dedicated to Chile, to protest the U.S.-backed coup of Gen. Augusto Pinochet that overthrew Chile’s democratic government. Exhibits that Enwezor has brought to this Biennale include an epic live reading of Karl Marx’s “Das Kapital,” the Brazilian artist Vik Muniz’s piece, a boat covered in the front page of a Venice newspaper published the day after nearly 400 migrants drowned off the Italian island of Lampedusa in October 2013, and Iceland’s controversial pavilion, where an actual mosque was created in a church that had been empty for more than 40 years.

The city of Venice shut down the mosque, citing security concerns.

“Today’s artists are doing much more than providing a mirror,” Anne Pasternak of the organization Creative Time told us at one

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

of the Biennale’s main venues, the Arsenale. “They’re getting into the gritty work of actual social change.” Creative Time, a New York-based nonprofit that commissions and supports public art and engagement, convened a three-day summit at this year’s Biennale. Hundreds of artists, activists, scholars and others gathered in the 16th-century Teatro alle Tese, part of Venice’s Arsenale.

The Arsenale is a vast, ancient walled complex where Venetians built the warships that powered their military dominance in the Mediterranean Sea for centuries.

As far back as the 1500s, they could build a warship in one day in what is said to have been the world’s first industrial assembly line.

Now, the complex is given over to art, theater, music and public discussion, turning swords into plowshares. Among those presenting at the summit was Mariam Ghani, an Afghan-American artist based in Brooklyn, N.Y., who conducted from the stage a video-streamed conversation with her father, Ashraf Ghani, the president of Afghanistan. Through her art, she delves into the dark corners of U.S. foreign and domestic policy. Her collaboration “Index of the Disappeared” is a physical archive of post-9/11 disappearances, including detentions, deportations and renditions.

In building the archive, and a related project called “The Guantanamo Effect,” Ghani explained: “We noticed that ideas, policies and personnel circulated among all the different U.S.-run prisons in the world. So, first you have U.S. corrections officers and U.S. policemen who are deployed as mil-

itary police to Afghanistan when they’re called up in the National Guard Reserves. They end up in Abu Ghraib, they end up in Bagram,” sites of horrible prisoner abuse and torture. “Ultimately, the policies, the techniques and now even the military equipment circulate back into the U.S., into our domestic sphere,” she continued. “It’s become extremely visible with the recirculation of military surplus equipment from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan into domestic police departments and even into school police departments. We saw this extremely visibly in Ferguson, Missouri.”

The Creative Time Summit took place as mass protests marked the first anniversary of the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson.

The Black Lives Matter movement was central to the summit’s presentations, and was present in the broader Venice Biennale. “At the moment that we’re dealing with Black Lives Matter and the violence against black people and brown people in the United States, Europe is a experiencing incredible deaths of black people here, too,” said author Sharifa RhodesPitts, referring to the drowning deaths of hundreds of African migrants seeking asylum in Europe.

After Venice, Rhodes-Pitts will head to Lampedusa.

Venice served for centuries as the crossroads of the world, a city where East met West and art flourished. This year’s Venice Biennale, called “All the World’s Futures,” showcases a growing community of politically engaged artists, who not only reflect the beauty and brutality of the world, but might actually change it.

Upside-down medication method?

Dear Heloise: Ever have difficulty remembering whether you took a medication? I’d like to share a foolproof way to know. When you take the medication, turn the bottle UPSIDE DOWN. — Christine in Leesburg, Fla. Christine, thanks for writing. I must caution my readers: This hint may work for you, but it’s really not safe or recommended. What if someone moves the bottle, it falls over or is knocked off the counter?

Far better to keep a little list, notepad or sticky note nearby.

Mark down the times taken or simply a.m./p.m. It only takes a few seconds. — Your friend, Heloise GET KIDS TO TALK Dear Readers: Your kids are young for such a short time. Here’s a simple and fun way to get conversations started. You KNOW how hard that is with kids! This hint is thanks to Anna, a new Heloise Central Team Member.

The first step: Put cellphones and tablets away. No distractions, just conversation.

Use 3-by-5-inch or 5-by-7inch cards and write one question on each card. Here are some examples: “What did you do in school today? Give an example.”

“If you could travel to anywhere, where would you go, and why?”

Hints from Heloise “Who is your favorite writer, athlete or teacher, and why?”

“What do you like or not like about your best friend?”

Put the cards facedown in the center of the table, and have each person take one at the start of the meal. Take turns, and discuss. You may find out more about your children than you knew. Try it! — Hugs, Heloise PRETTY PLATES Dear Heloise: I go to a lot of picnics in the summer. I buy aluminum pans of different sizes to put food in. I then decorate the pans with decals and flowers. They look festive, and no cleanup for the hostess! — Margie in Reading, Pa. TOWEL TROUBLE Dear Heloise: I have a towel dilemma! No matter if I add softener to the rinse or use dryer sheets, the towels don’t come out soft anymore. They are stiff and rough when dried.

I would appreciate getting softness back in my towels.

Thank you! — Faye in Lufkin, Texas Too much fabric softener,

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

too much detergent and overstuffing the washer all can contribute to the problem.

Also, line drying. Here’s my classic Heloise Hint: Wash the towels with NO detergent, but add only 1 cup of ammonia and rinse TWICE. Using fabric softener is OK, but more is NOT better. Maybe every third or fourth wash. — Heloise HANG JEWELRY Dear Readers: I have SEVERAL pendants and chains.

The best way I’ve found to organize them is to put all of the pendants on one gold chain.

They hang beautifully, and I don’t have to dig through my jewelry box looking for the right pendant. — Heloise SHINY SINK Dear Heloise: I have a stainless-steel kitchen sink. By ac- BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker cident, I left it full of dishwater overnight. The dish soap in the water made the dull sink shine! I use your hints often.

— Carolyn in Fairbanks, La. Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise@Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. (c)2015 by King Features BLONDIE® by Dean Young Syndicate Inc.

Horoscope Friday, Aug. 21, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might not have the funds or the support for a social event today. Something will restrict your plans to have fun.

This fun might include children’s activities.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An authority figure at home or perhaps your partner or close friend will rain on your parade today. No matter what you suggest, this person sees a reason it cannot be done.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Difficulties at work will create some worries for you today.

But these worries will be of little consequence in 48 hours.

Keep the faith.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Something about your financial scene is a disappointment today. Or you might be disappointed about a possession or something you own (like a new cellphone that you just broke).

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today the Sun is in your sign opposed by stern Saturn. This means authority figures will create obstacles and difficulties for you. Just cope as best you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Do not fall into worry mode today, even if tempted. Remember the old saying: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but gets you nowhere.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Someone older might be critical of you today. They could be in a position of power, especially in a group, and this creates a problem for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) It will not be easy to deal with bosses, parents and authority figures today. If you ask for anything, their response will be, “Talk to the hand.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your travel plans will be canceled or difficult for some reason today. Similarly, your dealings with higher education, classes and people from other cultures will be tough.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might be disappointed in your fair share of something today. Someone seems to hold the keys to the treasure chest, and you are out of luck.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is not a good day to talk to authority figures about

anything. Don’t ask for approval or permission. Wait until Sunday or Monday to get what you want.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It’s not easy to get your way at work today. In fact, life just feels tough. Fortunately, conversations with partners and close friends are warm and upbeat.

YOU BORN TODAY You are extremely private, and consciously or unconsciously try to protect this privacy of your

life, no matter what you do.

You constantly deal with your urge to hide and your need to fill the demands of your world.

This year is the beginning of a fresh, new nine-year cycle for you. Open any door! Start a new business activity.

MURRAY — The Murray Mustangs are one of the few teams statewide kicking off the 2015 football season in week zero.

Murray hosts Melcher-Dallas at 7 p.m.

Friday in one of just 11 games statewide in week zero.

The game came about after Northeast Hamilton dropped out of Eight-Man District 7 to share a football program with Webster City, leaving a hole in Murray’s schedule.

To fill that hole, Murray added a week zero game against a Melcher-Dallas team that went 8-3 last year.

The Saints lost in the second round of the playoffs to eventual state finalist Fremont-Mills.

But this year’s Melcher-Dallas team will feature an entirely different look.

The Saints lose last year’s starting quarterback, their top five rushers and every player who caught a pass from last year’s roster to graduation.

Also lost to graduation were the top nine tacklers from last year, and the top 11 of 13 tacklers from last year’s d e Regular Session fense.

Iowa State eager to rebound after disappointing season

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

AMES (AP) — Iowa State has spent millions in recent years to bring its football facilities up to par with the rest of the Big 12.

The next step for the Cyclones is to start winning.

If Paul Rhoads can’t make that happen this year, his seventh season in Ames might be his last.

Iowa State has paired the $20 million football-only complex it dedicated in 2012 with a $60 million overhaul of one of its end zones. The renovations, which should be done by the end of August, includes two-story club space and about 5,000 new seats — making Jack Trice Stadium (61,000) the third-largest in the Big 12.

All of Iowa State’s bells and whistles haven’t translated onto the field.

The Cyclones are just 5-19 over their past two seasons, and in 2014 they went 0-9 in the Big 12.

Iowa State has been picked to finish ninth in the league this year. If that happens, it’ll likely mean a third straight season without a bowl bid.

“Every step of the way, I’ve seen tangible improvement,” Rhoads said. “It’s a team that has closeness and great team chemistry.”

Here are some of the key story lines for the Cyclones heading into 2015: THROW IT UP: Iowa State has the pieces in place for a strong passing attack. Senior Sam Richardson is entering his third season as the starter, and last year he was 25th na- Richardson tionally in

total offense. Wide receiver D’Vario Montgomery caught 41 passes in the last seven games of 2014, and sophomore Allen Lazard lived up to the hype surrounding his arrival with 45 receptions. Quenton Bundrage, w h o caught n i n e touchd o w n passes in 2013, is also back Bundrage after a knee injury cost his almost all of last season.

“It just made me look at life differently. Anything can be taken from you at any moment,” Bundrage said.

RUNNING ON EMPTY: The Cyclones might have to throw the ball a lot because they’re about as inexperienced at running back as any team in the country. Sophomore Tyler Brown’s 109 career yards are the most of any back on the roster. Redshirt freshman Mike Warren is expected to have a chance to be the starter, and true freshman Joshua Thomas will also be in the mix.

“It’s thin. They’re inexperienced. But they’re capable. They’re talented,” Rhoads said.

LINED UP: Iowa State’s perpetual struggles can often be traced to an inability to recruit top defensive lineman to Ames. But the Cyclones think they’ve found a good one in transfer nose g u a r d DTHE e mIOWA o n d DISTRICT COURT T u c k eUNION r .

the junior college level in 2013 and quickly assumed a starting role upon arriving in Ames. Tucker will anchor a line that has a lot of depth but just as many question marks.

SECONDARY: The strength of Iowa State’s defense is its secondary, which is a key in the pass-happy Big 12. The Cyclones return three starters, including promising sophomore safety Kamari Cotton-Moya. But Iowa State will need to do a much better job after allowing nearly 283 yards passing per game in 2014, worst in the conference.

FAST START: Iowa State’s last two seasons felt like they ended as soon as they began after the Cyclones dropped their openers to FCS opponents. But if Iowa State can gain some early momentum with some home wins, a bowl-eligible season isn’t completely out of the question. The Cyclones host Northern Iowa, Iowa and Kansas before getting into the heart of the Big 12 schedule.

SWCC: Continued from page 7A

didn’t have the experience she was hoping for at Odessa — playing in 25 sets of 19 matches with 26 kills — and conversations resumed with Liu. New recruits The new recruiting class offers some firepower at the net, as well.

Marie Palmer, a 6-2 right side hitter from Southwest Valley, is considered “a great blocker” by Liu after twice being named first-team all-conference in the Pride of Iowa. She had 348 kills last year, with a .288 hitting efficiency. She totaled 53 blocks, including 27 solo.

Also expected to make an immediate impact at the net is former Muscatine prep Brooke Decker, a 6-0 middle hitter. She was honorable mention all-conference playing a 5A schedule, and played on a high level club team out of Cedar Rapids, Liu said.

Decker, also planning to play on the SWCC golf team, had 133 kills last year at a .329 hitting efficiency, and served 95 percent on 211 attempts along with 38 blocks.

Other front line candidates include Allie Shields of Mount Ayr, Callie Beason of Bedford and Shannon Eads of Orient-Macksburg.

Shields is a 5-8 middle and right side hitter, Liu said, with a lot of quickness and jumping ability.

“She’s learning some of the new techniques and attacks of college volleyball, but she learns fast and is a good athlete,” Beason is a 5-9 right side hitter and Eads can play multiple positions at 5-8. Both are learning the speed and deceptive attacks of the SWCC system. Beason had 139 kills last year along with 32 blocks and

37 digs. Eads had 38 service aces, 66 kills and 107 digs.

Taking over as setter is 5-5 Creston all-conference performer Hanna Luther, daughter of Panther coach Polly Luther. Luther had 660 assists (7.9 per set) for the 20-8 Panthers last year. She also served 96 percent with 22 aces, and had 57 digs despite battling a back ailment.

“Hanna is very fast and has good court sense,” Liu said.

“Both of our setters have good hands and are smart players. Clairissa Thompson (of Guthrie Center) had foot surgery after volleyball last year, though, and it’s been bothering her again. We’re not sure when she’ll be ready to go for sure.”

Thompson’s father, Gary, is on the basketball coaching staff at Nodaway Valley and is also a former Murray coach.

Liu has no returning experience among defensive specialists, but she likes the new recruits.

Krechele Brown, 5-6 freshman from state tournament qualifier Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln, could be the primary libero, Liu said. She had 283 digs (2.25 average) and served 98 percent on 410 attempts (only eight misses) with 29 aces.

“Krechele played on a very good 5A volleyball team with several girls playing college this year, including the setter at Creighton,” Liu said. “She was on a very good team that went to the state tournament.”

Also from the Omaha area is Britany Langendoerfer of Papillion, Neb., who played outside hitter and defense on the Nebraska Impact club team. She’s slated for defensive duty with the Spartans.

After this weekend’s action in Nebraska, the Spartans

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers You’re still worried about Kyle Busch’s Chase chances?

Yes, and I’m apparently the only one.

Everyone else is congratulating him for getting inside the top 30 in points and becoming officially eligible Not so fast, Kyle. for the Chase, There’s work to do. but maybe you’re ASSOCIATED PRESS/ forgetting that CARLOS OSORIO he has to STAY there. He’s 29th, 18 points ahead of Justin Allgaier and 23 ahead of Cole Whitt.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED AT MICHIGAN

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Your favorite Bristol memory of all time?

GODSPEAK: Dale Earnhardt crashing Terry Labonte on the last lap for the win.

KEN'S CALL: I fondly recall Ward Burton suggesting Junior Earnhardt was lucky that Ward hadn't brought his shotgun with him.

Not enough?

When will Richard Childress Racing win another race?

Bristol, Darlington and Richmond aren’t exactly places where you can coast and protect a cushion. Remember, Richmond has a strip of grass down the frontstretch.

GODSPEAK: Ryan Newman and Austin Dillon are knocking on the door. Will destiny answer?

KEN'S CALL: We're approaching two years without a trophy; surely by end of the year, right?

And Kyle hates grass?

He’s been on the zero-landscape campaign since Daytona in February, you know. His wreck in Michigan practice last week included some unfortunate lawn maintenance. You know what they say: The grass is always meaner. In a wreck, anyway.

Can it happen this week?

GODSPEAK: Yes, we might see car owner/granddaddy Richard Childress in Victory Lane Saturday night.

KEN'S CALL: Doubtful, because Mr. Hunch likes Joey Logano at Bristol.

1. Childress surge

2. Nice package

3. Rough restarts

The three Richard Childress Racing stock cars finished 12th or better at Michigan, led by NASCAR points master Ryan Newman, who continues to defy the gravity of the “win and you’re in” mantra.

Newman finished as the top RCR car in eighth place, and Chase-eligible — on points.

Matt Kenseth’s team took full advantage of the rule change at Michigan. The No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota led 146 of 200 laps over the two-mile oval. “Did the No. 20 lead every lap?” Ford driver Sam Hornish Jr. asked after the race. “He led a lot of them, didn’t he?” Yes, indeed.

Jeff Gordon had another disappointing outing as he bid adieu to Michigan as a driver.

Blame it on the restarts, which Gordon did. “Just couldn’t get going on the restarts, which is no surprise,” the 44-year-old driver said. “It happens to us every weekend.”

Clint Bowyer continues to hang onto 16th place in the Chase standings even after his disastrous 41st-place finish at Michigan. Bowyer, who wheels the No. 15 Toyota, remains optimistic. “There’s still time, we’re still in control of our destiny,” he said.

“You’re backed up against the wall and need to win, and that picture doesn’t look pretty, if that doesn’t happen, we’re still in control.”

For those who like to watch night racing, get your fill in this stretch, because there is only one more over the last 10 races. Charlotte hosts the last night race, on Oct. 10.

3. Opportunity knocks The last three regular-season races bring opportunity for those drivers still trying to win and get into the Chase.

The last six Bristol races have been won by different drivers, while Richmond boasts seven different race winners in its past seven. There hasn’t been a repeat winner at Darlington since 2006.

FEUD OF THE WEEK

Martin Truex Jr.

Carl Edwards

MARTIN TRUEX JR. VS. CARL EDWARDS: Truex, who finished third at Michigan, said Edwards cost him a chance at victory because Edwards spun his tires on a late restart, costing both field position.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Truex was not mad at Edwards. It was worse than that.

He was disappointed in Edwards. Truex said because of Edwards, “We really had to work for it (third place).” That stings.

EACH MEMORIAL DAY, this Creston couple places a bouquet of red, white and blue flowers on the graves of veterans who don’t have any at all.

librarian and John is a longtime social studies teacher in Creston, so we’re both fascinated with history — especially American history — and cemeteries have so many life stories.”

A trumpeter playing taps concluded the program at Graceland Cemetery. The group in attendance scattered 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 wandered 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 veterans each year by placing flowers next to their grave.

“We just thought it would be a nice gesture to honor and thank them on Memorial 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 Please see SCHLAHTS, Page 2

Keynote speaker for Creston’s Memorial Day programs will be Sen. Joni Ernst

Creston area leaders in the areas of education and economic development met Tuesday to discuss the viability for establishing a learning center in Southwest Iowa.

The learning center would provide diagnostic and tutoring services to students with learning differences and disabilities and offer resources to families impacted by learning disabilities such as dyslexia, discalculia, dysgraphia, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and related issues.

The purpose of the proposed learning center, 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 experience 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 nonprofit 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, Please see LEARNING, Page 2

DAYTON (MCT) — Investigators believe they found the blood of a missing teenager on the body of her kidnapper, on his truck and at a northern Iowa hog confinement facility where he took two girls Monday 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 sociopath.”

Officials confirmed Thursday that Klunder, 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 facility where Klunder worked, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent Bill Kietzman said at a news conference Thursday afternoon.

The blood had not yet been tested to determine 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
