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 sideby-side at Graceland Cemetery nearly one decade ago. It is morning. The grass below their feet is freshly 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 Allegiance 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 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
