Murder mystery:
Superintendent candidates
Pictured is the cast of Clarke Community High School’s play “Done to Death” during a rehearsal Monday night. “Done to Death” is a play written by Fred Carmichael in 1970. The plot focuses on five has-been mystery fiction writers who are brought to the mysterious Vulture’s Vault to collaborate and write a new murder mystery TV series. And then, real murders start to happen. The show is a parody of the murder mystery genre as each writer has their own style they use in hopes of figuring out the murders. The play often delves into fantasy sequences and breaking the fourth wall. Showtimes are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the high school auditorium. The cost is $2 general admission for students, $4 general admission for adults and $6 reserved seating (front half) for any age.
This is a statement from Clarke School Board President Gerard Linskens: “Clarke Community School District received 19 applications for the superintendent position. During two different workshop meetings, the board of education has reviewed all information that was submitted and selected the top three candidates. Interviews with these candidates will be conducted this week. The finalists are Dr. Kyle Collins, Mr. Lance Ridgely, and Mr. Steve Seid.”

Commission, for the facade project to council members. The design mirrors how the building looked in the early 1900s, when it was originally built. It will have a brick front, a window on the front left of the face, a door on the front right and a window and door in the middle that mimic a space for a garage door. However, the design will cost more than expected. “The chamber had a brickmason come in and Please see CITY PROJECTS, Page 4
