uests at the Windsor Theatre
received a blast from the past
Saturday night during the fourth
annual “An Evening Like It Used
To Be” show. The event, which is
held as a fundraiser for the Franklin County Arts Council, featured
comedic skits and music from the
1910s and 1920s.
“It was just great,” said event
coordinator Leon Kuehner. “It
was really fun to watch, and it’s
G
also just fun watching the people
have fun.”
Two hundred forty people
packed both levels of the Windsor during the show. Theatre staff
dressed up in early 20th century
attire and some guests also wore
costumes from the past. The nostalgic scene evoked thoughts of
yesteryear, and the evening’s entertainment only furthered those
sentiments.
The 1920 silent
movie “One Week”
starring Buster Keaton kicked off Saturday’s lineup.
A live orchestra
provided music
during the ¿lm, which consisted
of musicians from Hampton and
the surrounding area.
Kuehner, who directs the orchestra, explained the interesting
process behind getting the music
to match the on-screen action. A
New York-based company first
composes a score for the 20-minute film, which is then studied
and tweaked by Kuehner before
the orchestra practices the music
the day of the event.
“We put it all together today,”
Kuehner said Saturday night.
“I write in cues every eight
measures so I know where I
have to be with the music.
It helps so we don’t
get off track.”
The Windsor roared with
laughter throughout the movie,
but things were just getting started.
A group of costume-clad local
actors dubbed the Pythian Players
took to the stage and performed
a series of comedic vaudeville
skits following the film. Audience members were encouraged
to interact with performers and
let them know if their jokes were
landing or not.

Supervisors
receive
courthouse
mold update
BY NICK PEDLEY
The Franklin County Board of
Supervisors on Monday discussed
preliminary plans to fix persistent
mildew issues occuring on the second Àoor of the courthouse.
Maintenance Supervisor Tom
Porter met with the board and gave
an update on the problem, which has
literally caused a stink on the second
Àoor in recent months. The clerk of
court’s of¿ce, courtroom and judges’ of¿ces all experienced an elevated musty odor this summer due to
mildew. The supervisors originally
thought the problem stemmed from
roof leaks, but Porter said the issue
was caused by condensation that
drips from cooling pipes during humid months.
“The leaks on the roof are very
minor,” Porter said. “The thing that’s
causing our moisture problem is the
chiller, and we’ll keep having problems unless that gets ¿xed.”
Clerk of Court Deb Bausman gave
the supervisors a tour of the second
Àoor in September and pointed out
issues. Some windows were leaking
and had condensation, and various
rooms were experiencing mildew
growth on tiles.
Porter said he contacted a company to ¿x weatherstripping on deteriorating windows. Workers will bring

Zombies attack Hampton runners
BY TRAVIS FISCHER
A minor zombie outbreak took
place on Saturday as the Hampton-Dumont 5th and 6th grade football program organized the “Run of
the Walking Dead.”
Starting out like a typical 5K run, the race began at
the Hampton-Dumont Middle School building. The
course took runners around
Hampton’s northeast neighborhood and over to the
Rolling Prairie Trail before circling back to the
school.
However, there

wore two strips of caution tape at
their sides to serve as Àags. At several points along the course the middle
school football team, dressed up as
zombies, lay in wait to ambush the
runners and collect their Àags.
When both Àags were taken, the
runner was declared “dead.”
“The ¿rst person out alive wins,”
said Amanda Quasdorf, who organized the fundraiser.
A ¿rst timer at organizing a fundraiser run, Quasdorf enjoyed the
challenge of not just organizing the
race itself, but creating a thematically appropriate course for the runners.
The Rolling Prairie Trail portion of
the course took runners past both
the Hampton Cemetery and Franklin
General Hospital.
“It is fun,” said Amanda. “I’ve
done a lot of races and never realized
all the behind the scenes things you
have to do.”
It wasn’t just the zombi¿ed football players in costume for the event.
Several of the runners took the opportunity to dress up for the occasion
as well. Many of them ran through
Hampton adorned with fake wounds
and makeshift out¿ts.
“It’s fun to dress up,” said Marcus Kofoot, who made it through the
course alive wearing a camouÀage
out¿t and a zombie response team
survival vest. “It’s probably the most
fun 5K I’ve ever run.”
More than 60 runners registered

The lengthy battle between the
City of Hampton and Milton Heyde
continued last week during a special
appeal hearing regarding one of the
local landlord’s rental properties.
In July, Code Enforcement Of¿cer Doug Tarr ruled a duplex owned
by Heyde was un¿t to rent due to unsafe wiring that created ¿re hazards.
The tenants were removed from the
residence, and Heyde eventually
appealed to the city within a 20-day
window. However, the Hampton
Housing Rehab Committee upheld
Tarr’s original decision at a special
hearing on Aug. 18 after both sides
presented evidence to support their
arguments.
But that wasn’t the end of it. Upon
further investigation, City Manager
Ron Dunt discovered the Hampton
Housing Appeals Board should have
heard the original appeal, not the
Housing Rehab Committee.
The mix-up forced a second
hearing last Wednesday, but the result was the same: the board upheld
Tarr’s original decision on a unanimous vote.

Hampton State Bank
under new ownership
BY NICK PEDLEY
A change in ownership is now
complete at one longtime Hampton
business.
Cedar Valley Bankshares, Ltd.,
recently acquired controlling interest
in Hampton State Bank from Hampton Banco, Inc. The change in ownership was announced in July and
needed regulatory approval before it
could be completed. Hampton State
Bank will keep the same name and is
now classi¿ed as a subsidiary of the
Charles City-based company.
According to Hampton State
Bank President Ron Raney, customers should expect very few changes
following the ownership switch.
“From the outside looking in,
there’s probably not going to be
much of a difference,” Raney explained. “Hopefully down the road
we’ll be able to offer some more services to our customers.”
Hampton State Bank was locally owned and operated by the Davis family of Hampton since 1937.
Brad Davis, the bank’s chairman and
CEO, was expected to retire once the
transaction was completed. Davis
had been with the bank since 1980
and served as president from 1995 to
2012, when Raney was named president.
Cedar Valley Bankshares, Ltd.,
owns First Security Bank & Trust
Company, which has of¿ces in 14
communities across north central
Iowa with assets of approximately
$450 million. The company’s purchase of Hampton State Bank includes $35 million of loans and $62
million of deposits.
The change in ownership won’t
affect Hampton State Bank’s employees. All will stay on to serve
customers and manage the bank.
“We are excited to have the opportunity to expand our presence into
the Franklin County area,” said Kurt
Herbrechtsmeyer, treasurer of Cedar
Valley Bankshares and president/
CEO of First Security, in a July news
release. “Hampton State Bank’s
commitment to their community and
building lifetime relationships with
their customers is a tremendous ¿t
with our culture.”

to go at their own speed, only the agile or lucky
made it through the course “alive.”
“It was fun,” said Jeremy Bidwell, who
was among the ¿rst runners to ¿nish the race.
“Amanda did a great job setting up the course.”
Bidwell ran the course with his frequent
running partner Dave Heyden, but like any
good zombie story, only one of them made it Peyton Kofoot was

their time.
At the end of the race, runners were treated
to drinks and snacks while they waited for the ¿nal results. Two trophies were
given out at the end of the event. Alex Coch was named the best dressed zombie while seven year-old Peyton Kofoot received the trophy for being the ¿rst
runner to survive the race.
Raising more than $1,100 for the football program through sponsors and
registration fees, Quasdorf was happy with how the race turned out and hopes
to set it up again next year.
“I think it went pretty smoothly,” she said. “Nobody got lost and everybody
had a good time.”

Airport renovations, campaign signs highlight council workshop
BY NICK PEDLEY
The Hampton City Council discussed possible
improvements to the municipal airport during its
workshop Monday night.
Engineer Bill Grabe met with council and presented multiple options for future renovations at
the local airport. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would foot the bill for the projects,
which would be completed according to priority
over the course of the next few years.
Last year, the council prioritized rehabilitating
the large orange hangar at the airport. Grabe said
the FAA gave the city its blessing to move forward
with the project and expects local of¿cials to start
designing blueprints for the improvements soon.
The orange hangar will receive a new roof and
fresh paint if the council chooses to move forward
The renovations, worth an estimated $144,000,
will be covered by the FAA. The city will be re-
imbursed for initial engineering expenses once a
contractor bid is accepted for the work.
“The FAA is prepared to pay for it and they expect you to go ahead and move forward with your
plans,” said Grabe. “That project is ready to go.”
Council members also discussed other renovations they’d like to see completed after the orange
hangar is ¿nished. Grabe said the FAA prefers
projects that prioritize safety improvements. The
next project on the council’s airport checklist was
expanded turnarounds, but City Manager Ron
Dunt was reluctant.
“That was a little hard for us to swallow because of the limited traf¿c out there,” he said.
The council discussed building a new four-stall
T-hangar or obtaining an easement from a neighboring property to increase safety for landing aircraft, but will ultimately determine improvement
priorities at a future meeting.
Following the airport discussion, Dunt gauged
the council’s interest in going paperless at City
Hall. The council and other city of¿cials currently
receive a thick packet of documents before each
meeting, but they could cut down on waste and
save on printing costs if they switch over to handheld tablets like iPads.
The council was interested in the idea. Dunt
will continue gathering research.
The council discussed political signs to close
out the meeting.
Dunt recently learned the city has an ordinance
on the books that says political signs can only be
displayed in yards during a 30-day window before
an election. A previous opinion from the U.S. Attorney General stated such ordinances are unconstitutional because they violate the First Amendment, and the council will discuss removing it
from the code book at Thursday night’s meeting.

“Basically, it was the city’s mistake. No ifs, ands or buts about it,”
Dunt said after the hearing. “But we
wanted to correct it.”
Heyde, who’s banned from all
city property for sending letters perceived as threats to local of¿cials,
appeared at last Wednesday’s hearing via telephone. He felt the city’s
handling of the appeal was unacceptable and also claimed his absence
from the hearing violated his rights.
Heyde pointed out that the 20-day
appeal period had long since expired
since Tarr’s original decision.
“I ¿nd that kind of amazing that
there would be a complete appeal
that was improper. Sounds like a lot
of incompetence,” he said.
Heyde also held issue with the
way last Wednesday’s hearing was
conducted. Tarr showed a slideshow
of photos that were taken during the
July inspection, but Heyde never
received a packet that included the
pictures.
City Attorney Megan Rosenberg
pointed out that Heyde never requested a packet with photos. However, Heyde said he didn’t know he
needed to.
“I don’t think this is a proper
hearing,” he said.
The hearing proceeded despite
Heyde’s objections. The majority
of discussion mirrored the August
hearing, with Tarr pointing out var-

Porter explained the tiles were a
completely different issue. The supervisors had brieÀy discussed replacing them along with insulation
and carpeting in September, but that
won’t happen until the condensation
problem is ¿xed and the mildew is
completely gone.
The supervisors feared mold
growth might intensify and create
health problems for courthouse employees if the affected material isn’t
removed soon.
“We need to eliminate the drip
problem from hitting the tiles ¿rst,”
said Supervisor Corey Eberling.
“We de¿nitely need to get that ¿xed
before we make any other improvements.”
Porter will keep contacting cleaning companies to investigate solutions to condensation issues.
In other business, the supervisors
(Jerry Plagge was absent) approved a
zoning change to a parcel of land in
western Franklin County near Rowan. NEW Cooperative plans to build
a grain storage facility there, and the
company needed the land rezoned for
heavy industrial use before they can

Oct. 5-11 marks National 4-H Week here in America. 4-H
clubs from sea to shining sea are celebrating with community-wide events and membership drives, and it’s certainly a
wonderful sight to see our youth excited about such a worthwhile organization.
4-H isn’t just about farming anymore. It teaches adolescents invaluable lessons about leadership, responsibility and
respect that run deeper than agriculture. 4-H is a breath of
fresh air in today’s day and age, and it’s important to acknowledge the signi¿cant role it plays in molding some of
tomorrow’s leaders. It teaches kids the value of hard work
and pays dividends as they mature and grow after they leave
the organization.
Local 4-H clubs also spearhead various betterment projects throughout the year that directly bene¿t our community
and the people that live here. Whether it’s raking elderly residents’ yards in the fall or giving a fresh coat of paint to an old
sign, it all helps. We appreciate their efforts and thank them
for making things look just a little bit nicer.
Please thank our local 4-H leaders and members this week
for their hard work and dedication. Contact the Franklin

in joining this great organization, because you surely won’t
regret it.

We were there to cover them all in the past and we plan to be

There’s been a lot of speculation in recent years about the
viability of print media. Much of the attention focuses on
large daily publications, but naysayers often fail to highlight
the very personal relationships between smaller newspapers
and their readers. We’re right here with you to celebrate
births, anniversaries, graduations and community milestones. We shop at your stores, go to your church and cheer
on our local athletes with you. These things help build a bond
between communities and their local newspapers, but we still
have a job to do when dif¿cult events happen. We stick it out
through the think and thin just like the readers that make it all
possible.
National Newspaper Week gives us the opportunity to
reÀect on the importance of community journalism and its
role in the 21st Century. We cover the events that matter to
you most, and we appreciate the continued support from both
readers and advertisers. It’s a relationship that depends on
mutual trust and strong bonds that have grown over time.
We’re happy to have been with you all these years, and we
look forward to serving you well into the future.
Thanks for reading the Hampton Chronicle—your hometown newspaper for more than 100 years.
Protections for vulnerable Iowa seniors
Thousands of older Americans
face abuse, neglect and exploitation
every year. Some are particularly
vulnerable because they depend on
others to help them with the most
basic activities of daily living. With
about one-¿fth of Iowans over age
60, issues affecting seniors are increasingly important. With this in
mind, the Legislature has taken the
following steps over the past two
years:
• Protecting seniors from ¿nancial
exploitation
Many seniors give power of attorney to someone they trust so that
person can make ¿nancial decisions
on their behalf, including managing
their money, paying their bills and
purchasing necessities. Power of
attorney is exercised responsibly by
most Iowans, but there is growing
evidence of unethical people who
prey on vulnerable seniors. The Iowa
Uniform Power of Attorney Act will
help prevent this exploitation. AARP
has hailed the new law as “the most
important tool Iowa can use to combat the devastating problem of ¿nancial exploitation of elders.”
• Cracking down on elder abuse
We de¿ned elder abuse, neglect
and financial exploitation in Iowa
law and allow victims to secure protective orders to stop the abuse. In

addition, new funding for Aging &
Disability Resource Centers will be
used to prevent elder abuse and to
help victims.
• Enhancing patient advocacy
To better address long-term care
concerns, two new positions have
been added in the Of¿ce of the LongTerm Care Ombudsman: a specialist
to assist those discharged from longterm care facilities; and a certi¿ed
volunteer long-term care ombudsman to coordinate and train local
volunteer advocates.
• Trusted assistance for those in
need
Many vulnerable adults have no
one to turn to for help managing their
physical health or ¿nancial resources. To ensure all Iowans have access
to trustworthy and con¿dential assistance, we reopened the Of¿ce of
Substitute Decision-Maker, which
was closed due to budget cuts during
the recession.
• Ensuring high-quality services
We made services and funding
more available so that those seeking
to maintain their independence can
stay in their own homes and avoid
moving to expensive care facilities.
The Senate is moving forward to
establish a comprehensive system to
prevent elder abuse, provide community support, offer legal options
when intervention is necessary and
go after those who hurt vulnerable
older Iowans.

John Ritland's continued story as a Civil War soldier
BY MICKEY FERRIS
Note: John Ritland had survived the bloody battle of
Pleasant Hill whereby each side lost (dead, wounded
and missing) 1,600 soldiers each. John’s furlough was extended to 60 days because of
his condition.
After a sick leave of 60 days, I returned
to my unit in Cairo, Illinois. We were
soon on a steamboat headed for St.
Louis then Pilot Knob by Àat cars.
At Pilot Knob we came upon the rebels
and were very much outnumbered so jumped
on the train. We started off, but the train was so heavily
loaded the wheels slipped. Thanks to Lieutenant George
Childs of Iowa we escaped being captured. He ordered us
all off the train and had us push it until it got going so we
could all jump on again. Much to our relief we were soon
safe back in St Louis.
We were sent to chase more rebels, this time in Kansas. We had some small skirmishes with the rebels and at
times came upon dead soldiers, but mostly it was miserable, cold and wet and we nearly starved to death. This
starvation was mostly the fault of General A. J. Smith.
General Smith had given us very limited rations. We were
not allowed to forage so the only thing left to do was to
steal to keep from starving.
We could ¿nd meat but no salt, no bread or butter and
after numerous meals of meat only, we were unable to
keep it down. One farm family we came upon had just
¿nished eating supper and there was a lot of food left on
the table. We apologetically ¿lled our haversacks with hot
biscuits, hot potatoes and many other good things to eat.
After this incident, our of¿cers saw to it that we had more
food.
We arrived back in St. Louis without shoes, walking
barefoot through the street, our clothes in rags, our bodies
dirty. We had baths and were given new clothes and shoes.
Our old clothes were burned.
We were taken from St. Louis by steamer to Cairo
and up the Ohio River to Nashville. We were drilled and
marched around until dark and left in a slough for the
night. In the morning, with General Thomas as our commander, we faced General Hood and the confederates. My
regiment, the 32nd of Iowa, was in the center of the battle
which raged for two days. The slough was in a hollow and
the guns seemed to have trouble hitting us. This changed
when we saw our Àag waving and surged forward as fast
as we could with soldiers falling all around us.
The battle of Nashville was a very decisive victory for
the Union side as General Hood’s army was nearly annihilated. The next day we chased rebels and found the bridges had been burned and there was no way to get in supplies. Christmas Day was here and there wasn’t any food
on our side of the river. I spent the day thinking of Iowa
and the many Christmas dinners my mother had prepared.
That afternoon some of the boys brought down a bunch
of geese and we had a small feast.
We continued marching to the
Tennessee River and were taken by
steamboat to East Port just south
of the Tennessee line. We hoped to
rest for a while, but instead had little battles with the rebels for three
weeks. This time we went up the
Tennessee River, down to Ohio and
ended up in Cairo once again. Here we were
loaded on a steamer and taken 1,200 miles to New Orleans. We had time to look over the city, but by then we
had seen so many cities, so instead of sightseeing, I visited
an old cemetery and found tombstones going back to the
1600’s.
Once again we went down the Mississippi on a steam
ship, this time to the Gulf of Mexico. On Dauphin Island
we had three wonderful weeks of ¿shing oysters with our
hands and getting much needed rest.
Our joyful three weeks ended with the news we would
be undertaking the capture of Mobile, Alabama. There
were two forts at Mobile called Ft. Blakely and Spanish
Fort. The rebels had deserted Spanish Fort and had moved
all forces to Fort Blakely so we only had to take one fort.
The ¿ghting started on April 3rd and continued until April
9th.
This battle was very costly as the rebels had several big
guns aimed right at us killing fourteen of our men in one
discharge. Despite all the carnage, the fort was taken by
our side along with 30,000 Confederate prisoners.
We hoped we would now be able to rest, but our ambitious General Smith sent us on a march from Mobile to
Montgomery. Once again we had to endure the hardships
we had suffered previously under his command. It was so
bad that soldiers posted signs and threats against General
Smith along our march, which seemed to affect the general, as our rations improved.
The coming of the siege of Ft. Montgomery frightened
all of us. It was a very large fort and we had seen so much
death already. As we neared the fort a man on horseback
drew up by our regiment and of¿cially announced that
General Lee had surrendered to General Grant. The war
was over.
We all cheered from the bottom of our hearts and, although we were exhausted, we marched two more miles
and camped in a pine forest. From here one or two regiments were sent home each week. This did not include
us and we ¿nally had to complain to Washington, D.C. to
get an order to let us go home. A steamboat took us down
the Alabama River and we marched across the country to
Vicksburg and got on a steamer for Clinton, Iowa.
We were mustered out on August 23, 1865, four and
one half months after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
Well this is an unusual problem.
Too many things to write about this
week. Time for some bite-sized commentary on each topic.
Windows 10?
Microsoft has announced that the
successor to Windows 8 will be…
Windows 10.
Why? Well, nobody knows.
There are many theories abound.
Some have suggested that there’s a
technical issue involving legacy code
from Windows 95 and Windows 98
that would make “Windows 9” annoyingly complicated for its developers. Others wonder if it’s because
reception to Windows 8 was so bad
that Microsoft don’t want their next
operating system to be so closely associated with it.
Some claim that Microsoft is trying to break the Windows curse.
Much like Star Trek movies, every other version of Microsoft Windows has been a disaster for quite
some time. People loved Windows
98, but hated Windows ME. They
loved Windows XP, but hated Windows Vista. They loved Windows 7,
but hated Windows 8.
Perhaps there is a curse. Perhaps
Steve Jobs, jealous of their ability
to resize windows by grabbing anywhere on the frame, used his dark
magic to create suffering for PC users. In that case, messing with the
numbering might cause the evil demon responsible for the Metro design
to get confused and end the curse forever, no longer sure which version of
Windows it’s supposed to ruin.
If that’s true than good for Microsoft.
On the other hand, it’s also possible that the “curse” is the result
of Microsoft having no idea what
people want from their operating
systems, causing them to release a
terrible product, only to turn around
and release the same product again
minus everything people didn’t like
about it.
Which is exactly what happened
with Windows Vista and Windows
7. And judging from the fact that the
very ¿rst thing Microsoft says about
Windows 10 is that it’s bringing back
the Start Menu, is what’s happening
here as well.
In that case, changing the numbering won’t help anything, but at
least odds are good that Windows 10
won’t be terrible.
Tetris: The Movie
If you thought that Hollywood hit
the bottom of the barrel when they
made the “Battleship” movie, you
were mistaken. This week it was
announced that Threshold Entertainment will be developing a movie
based on “Tetris.”
Yes. That “Tetris.”
Falling blocks, Russian backgrounds, and catchy music “Tetris.”
Threshold Chairman Larry Kasanoff wants to turn the beloved video
game into an “epic sci-¿ story.”
And I will see this movie.
I will absolutely see this movie, if
only to witness the storytelling alchemy required to conjure a plot out of
falling blocks.
I mean, even “Battleship” has
a tiny sliver of a narrative to draw
inspiration from, even if the movie
whittled it down to “ships shooting at
things.” What can you possibly make
out of “Tetris?”
RIP: Saturday Morning Cartoons
It’s the end of an era.
Last Saturday, for the ¿rst time in
half a century, there was no Saturday
morning cartoon block to be found
anywhere on network television.
The tradition of Saturday Morning Cartoons has been in decline for
years. Once upon a time, Saturday
mornings were the only place for
new cartoons to broadcast. Today,
cable channels have freed them from
that limited timeslot. “Star Wars:
Rebels,” premiered last week, not
on Saturday morning, but on Friday
night primetime.
My childhood was de¿ned by the
cartoons on CBS, ABC, and Fox, but
all three networks have long since
abandoned the practice. Up until last
week, the CW’s “Vortexx” block
was the last man standing, airing
re-runs of “Justice League Unlimited,” “Spectacular Spider-Man,” and
Dragon Ball Z Kai,” among some
newer shows I don’t recognize.
Of course the loss of the Saturday Morning Cartoon block is really a forbearer to the ultimate end
of programming blocks in general.
The idea of watching television on
somebody else’s schedule is rapidly
becoming as outdated a concept as
the home phone or the printed encyclopedia.
I may lament the loss of such a beloved childhood tradition, but in the
end we’re all in a better place now.

ISU dedicates Elings Hall and Sukup Hall
More than 450 people attended the
Sept. 25 dedication of Elings Hall and
Sukup Hall, two new buildings that
serve as the home for Iowa State University’s Department of Agricultural
and Biosystems Engineering.
“I’m pleased to dedicate Elings
and Sukup halls as the anchors of our
beautiful Biorenewables Complex,”
said ISU President Steven Leath.
“They provide a centralized location
for our nationally ranked Department
of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, which has always been a
leader in providing engineering solutions to agricultural problems.”
The two facilities — built with
more than $14 million in privately
raised funds and over $60 million
in state funds — provide more than
100,000 square feet of modern research labs, classrooms, student
spaces and of¿ces, offering a stateof-the-art learning and innovation environment.
Elings Hall, Sukup Hall and the
Biorenewables Research Laboratory,
which was dedicated in 2010, make
up ISU’s Biorenewables Complex.
The Sukup Atrium connects the three
buildings.
“The partnership between our donors, the university and the state make
great projects like this possible,” said
Roger Neuhaus, president of the Iowa
State University Foundation. ”The
Biorenewables Complex, now com-
plete with Elings and Sukup halls, is
a great example of what can happen
when donors generously make commitments to help catalyze the vision
of a project.”
Elings Hall is named in honor
of Virgil Elings, a 1961 ISU alumnus in mechanical engineering who
co-founded Digital Instruments, the
¿rst company to make atomic scanning probe microscopy readily available to scientists and engineers.
Sukup Hall is named in honor of
Sukup Manufacturing and the Sukup
family of Sheffield. Sukup Manufacturing is the world’s largest family-owned manufacturer of grain bins
and drying equipment, founded by
Eugene and Mary Sukup in 1963.
Eugene and Mary Sukup received
honorary ISU degrees in 2010.
Charles Sukup, president of the company, earned two degrees in agricultural engineering from ISU. Steven
Sukup, vice president and chief ¿nancial offer, earned an ISU degree in
industrial engineering.
Virgil Elings and Sukup Manufacturing and the Sukup family were key
donors to the facilities.
“These magni¿cent buildings represent a critical interface of agriculture and engineering,” said Wendy
Wintersteen, Endowed Dean of the
College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. “It is an interface that becomes
ever more important to meeting so-
ciety’s challenges and opportunities.
That’s why we’re very fortunate to
have one of the nation’s very best departments of agricultural and biosystems engineering, and now housed in
the very best facilities in the country.”
Sarah Rajala, dean of the College
of Engineering, said, “Elings Hall and
Sukup Hall will enable our students
to push the envelope in terms of science and engineering, and do things
that were unimaginable back in 1905
when Iowa State became the nation’s
first agricultural engineering program.”
Dean Rajala noted that ISU has
one of the highest enrollments in agricultural and biosystems engineering
in the nation, with a record 836 students this fall. Seventy-four percent
of the department’s undergraduates
are from Iowa. The department has a
98 percent placement rate for its recent graduates.
“We also can better conduct critical research important to the economic development of the state of Iowa
and our nation,” said Steve Mickelson, chair of the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering.
“It allows us to provide the extension
educational programs needed by Iowans in order to help our agricultural
partners.”
Construction on Elings Hall and
Sukup Hall began late in 2011 and
was completed this past summer.

Ellsworth Community College announced this week that it has been designated a 2015 Military Friendly School by Victory Media, the leader in successfully connecting the military and civilian worlds.
Now in its sixth year, the Military Friendly Schools designation and list
by Victory Media is the premier, trusted resource for post-military success.
Military Friendly provides service members transparent, data-driven ratings
about post-military education and career opportunities.
The Military Friendly Schools designation is awarded to the top 15 percent
of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the
most to embrace military students, and to dedicate resources to ensure their
success in the classroom and after graduation. The methodology used for
making the Military Friendly Schools list has changed the student veteran
landscape to one much more transparent, and has played a signi¿cant role
over the past six years in capturing and advancing best practices to support
military students across the country.
Victory Media’s survey captures more than 50 leading practices in supporting military students and is available free of charge to the more than
8,000 schools approved for Post-9/11 GI Bill funding. As in past years, the
2015 Military Friendly Schools results were independently tested by Ernst
& Young LLP based upon the weightings and methodology developed by
Victory Media with input by its independent Academic Advisory Board.
For more information about ECC’s commitment to attracting and supporting military students, visit the ECC website at www.EllsworthCollege.com.

victory to stay unbeaten
BY KRISTI NIXON
HAMPTON – Not until an interception by senior Trevor Eiklenborg
with 14 seconds left was the No. 4
Hampton-Dumont football team’s
game ¿nal against Estherville-Lincoln Central on Friday, Oct. 3.
Trailing 7-6 from the 3:36 point in
the second quarter until quarterback
Cole Miller connected with Charlie
Flickinger for a 29-yard touchdown
pass with only 4:25 remaining in the
game and Miller hitting Parker Claypool with the two-point conversion
to escape with the Bulldogs’ record
unblemished.
Before that, there were doubts
as H-D couldn’t ¿nd a way to break
through again after scoring early
against the Midgets.
“We tried a lot of things,” H-D
head coach Jerry Shafrath said.
“They were guessing on defense and
were in right spots, stopping us. We’d
catch them stunting and we’d get a
big ¿rst down, but we weren’t able to
get a consistent drive that way.
“We were trying to throw the
ball, spread the ball around, different
things. We tried about everything we
could and ¿nally that one came open,
set us up and a big pass, catch. We
probably did everything wrong that
we’ve done all year long with turnovers and incompletions.”
Going into this contest, E-LC had
the toughest defense in the district
and it showed. But the Bulldogs’ defense held tough, too.
Mario Peña, who was in for virtually every play
of the game on offense and defense,
accounted for
three solo tackles,
six tackle assists,
a tackle for loss
and sack.
“It was a defensive score, really, 14-7,” Peña
said. “It came
down to our defense. Our offense never really
got it going as we
should have.

is not easy to do,” Shafrath said of
Bailey Miller. “You have to replace
someone who hasn’t practiced (the
position). We got through and we’ll
try to go 1-0 each week and with that,
you know, we survived.”
When E-LC got the ball back
following the Bulldogs’ score, the
Midgets ran six plays and opted to
punt on fourth down with 2:34 left,
gambling on getting the ball back.
It did, despite the fact H-D had the
ball at third and one on the 46 with a
minute left.
The Bulldogs, however, fumbled
the ball, but a personal foul after the
play knocked the Midgets back 15
yards.
After Heinrichs went 12 yards
on a busted pass play, his next three
passes went incomplete with the
third nearly being picked off by
Dayton Gooder, which would have
been his second of the game, before
Eiklenborg made the ¿nal pick.
“I think all players want that last
play to come down to them and I
guess it’s come down to me a couple
times the past few years and I love
it,” Eiklenborg said. “Our defense is
always pretty tough. Our secondary
works really hard in practice. The
last game we let them kind of nickel
and dime on short little passes and
we tightened that up tonight and we
did better.”
Shafrath said, “Eiklenborg, great
player for us. All year long, but especially the last three weeks he’s been
on ¿re. It kind of reminded you of
the Union game (from last year in
which he picked off a last-second
pass by Jay Scheel). We talked about
that with their quarterback being so
dangerous that we made several references to the Union game a year
ago that got us into the play-offs. It’s
amazing because I think he did that
with 11 seconds left last time.”
Even though it wasn’t the best
night for Cole Miller, he still completed nearly half of his passes (14of-30) for 114 yards, the touchdown
to Flickinger and still has gone the
season without throwing an interception.
Klein, Cole Miller, Isaiah Noelck
and Kendrick Suntken combined for
115 rushing yards
Peña said he felt the tide turn in
the second half.
“Once we started running the ball,
we were moving it,” Peña said. “We
were bigger than them up front, so
we were moving the ball. The momentum switched and we got going.”
Shafrath added that he thought the
experienced players he has helped
swing the game around.
“With having seasoned kids who
have played for three years, we never lost our character, our composure,” Shafrath said, “and were able
to make play when we had to make
the play.”
Now the Bulldogs are 6-0 overall,
3-0 in the district.
“It’s awesome,” Eiklenborg said.
“We’re in a tough stretch now, starting with tonight (Estherville) and
Clarion and Clear Lake, so I’m excited.”

Vikings prove elusive in
handing CAL 60-6 loss
N O RT H W O O D – N o r t h wood-Kensett was hard to stop in defeating CAL 60-6 on Friday, Oct. 3.
The loss was the 60th straight for
the Cadets, tying them for the state’s
losing streak.
Kainan Braun prevented the shutout for CAL, scoring a two-yard
rushing TD late. He ¿nished with 85
yards on 30 carries.
Braun was also 3-of-6 passing for
41 yards.
But Coleby Bratrud couldn’t be
brought down, scoring four out of the
11 times he carried the ball, going for
a total of 166 yards with a long TD of
50 yards.
Defensively, the Vikings were
tough as well, coming up with ¿ve
sacks of Braun and forcing a fumble
recovery.
Braun led CAL’s defense, also,
with nine solo stops and three tackle
assists. Felipe Lerma came up with a
fumble recovery as well.
CAL returns home for its homecoming contest against Clarksville

BY KRISTI NIXON
HAMPTON – Not playing for 12 days gave
Hampton-Dumont plenty of practice time.
The Bulldogs (1-10) put it to good use with a
fast start against previously 4A-ranked Humboldt
(15-4) in taking a quick 4-0 lead to start.
Coach Cinda Barz’s squad held that lead at 9-6
before the Wildcats used a run by a pair of sophomores to quell the Bulldogs in a 13-25, 10-25,
16-25 loss on Tuesday, Sept. 30.
“We were trying a new defense, so I don’t know
if that was it,” Senior setter Morgan Kalkwarf said.
“But it was just going against rated teams like
them, especially in 4A. It was hard to get back up
after we got down on ourselves.”
With Humboldt’s Abby Zaugg serving and
trailing 9-7, the Wildcats had a run in which Taylor
Gidel put down ¿ve of her kills, H-D committed a
pair of net violations and a Bulldog attack attempt
went out.
That completely turned the tide as Humboldt
led 14-10 and didn’t look back.
“I think Humboldt was underestimating us,”
Barz said. “We started strong and they started
answering back and as far as us being ready for
that…I think we were surprised we were ahead.
“I mean, the girls worked hard, we got into a
rotation there where we are not as con¿dent being
in that rotation and we needed to get out of that
rotation and that was some of the adjustments I
tried making between the second and third game.”
The rest of the way the Bulldogs led only once
more, once at 1-0 in the second set.
H-D did tie the Wildcats three times in the ¿nal
set, the last time at 3-all when their ¿rst three serving attempts failed. But after that, hitting errors
were the Bulldogs’ downfall.
“Our serves,” Barz said was a positive. “We
served a lot better tonight against them and as far
as them giving us points on their serves, we
were able to come back tough on our end.”
Nine of H-D’s points in the ¿nal set
came off service errors by Humboldt.
The Bulldogs, meanwhile were 40-of45 serving with two aces against the
Wildcats, both of them coming with the
early lead.
Kalkwarf said she saw some positives from
the front row that the team had been working on.
She ¿nished the match with nine of the team’s 16
assists. Cassy Miller tallied the other seven.
“Talking is a big issue for us,” Kalkwarf said.
“Once we start (talking) it usually goes good.”
Both Jordan Casey and Shelby Tidman led the
Bulldogs with four kills and libero Dakota Sliter
tallied 11 digs.
Maggy Duffield and Talyn Larsen each put
down 11 kills for Humboldt. Gidel totaled nine
more.
“Humboldt is good, and
we put a lot of things right
into their block,” Barz said,
“and their outside hitter was
getting warmed up and did a
better job of answering back
to what we were giving
them. But I was proud of
the girls, they played
hard and with their
hearts and that is what I
was happy about.
“They’re a bigger
school, but we gave
them a good battle, I
thought.”

used by the local mammography department for breast
cancer education and to encourage women to have mammograms who might not otherwise do so.
“Our community is fortunate to have Franklin General Hospital working to raise early detection awareness,”
H-D Volleyball Coach Cinda Barz said in a release. “We
as a volleyball team feel that, by working together, we
have an opportunity to help educate and give something
back to the community and have fun doing it!”

H-D WANTS “TECHING” IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
HDHS Students Get New Laptops
TO KNOW...
BY CAL CARRIGER AND NIKKI DONNENWERTH
What is
your favorite snack?
Derek Juhl
Junior
“Chocolate Granola Bar”

Sophomore
“Pringles”
Just like the world is
advancing technologically,
the Hampton-Dumont
School District is doing
the same with their new
student computers for the
2014-2015 school year.
For four years, students at
H-D have had their own
computers and at one point
were the biggest school
in Iowa operating in a 1:1
setting. The computers for
WKHÀUVWF\FOHRIWKHUROO
out four years ago have
now all been replaced for
a new cycle. The new
computers for students are
MacBook Airs.
Hampton-Dumont
Technology Specialist
Mary Fridley says, “Our
district’s technology
mission statement says,
‘All students and staff
will use technology in a
legal and ethical manner
to solve problems, conduct research, collaborate
with others, and become
lifelong learners.’ With
that in mind, the decision
was made to continue,
and expand our 1:1 laptop
program. Our 1:1 was expanded this year to include
7th and 8th grades.”
Students are also excited
about the new laptops.
Junior Caitlyn Freese say,
“I like that they can hold
a better charge, they work
faster, the keys light up,
and they are very durable.”
Students have been impressed by how easy the
computers are to carry
around with them from
class to class. They also
say that they operate much
faster. Fridley says that
when the technology team
decided on what operating system to go with they
had some objectives. “We
wanted to provide a tool
that would allow students
to continue to expand
their technology skills and
creativity. We felt there are
other tools available, but
WKH\GRQ·WÀWRXUWHFKQRORgy and curriculum needs as
well as the Macbook Air.”
But with every new thing
there are always drawbacks. Students say that
you always have to shut
the computer down when
something does not open
(although they are pleased
with how fast the start-up
process occurs) and there
is no CD port. In addi-
tion, learning how to use the
newer, updated software has
presented challenges. StuGHQWVDUHDOVRÀQGLQJWKDW
with nicer things, comes a
bigger responsibility to keep
them that way. However,
administration has been
pleased with computer care
by students thus far.
Most students and staff
agree, that the opportunities presented by the new
computers far outweigh the
obstacles they present. Students are becoming more familiar with online programs
and computer functions that
will keep them ahead of the
game when they leave H-D.
Programs they are mastering now include Naiku (an
online test-taker), Quizlet
HOHFWURQLFÁDVKFDUGV
iMovie, GarageBand, and
Turn It In (an online homework submission program),
not to mention all of the
word processing and digital
learning skills they are practicing on a daily basis in all
of their classes.
Another exciting development in the H-D technology
world is the recent addition
of school email for students.
H-D students have never

on their computers.
had access to their email
during school hours, but
now, with the help of
the technology department, led by Technology
Director Teresa Peterson, students can log in
at any point in the day
and communicate with
teachers or collaborate with classmates.
If a student is absent
or a teacher needs to
meet with them for any
reason, the teacher can
just shoot them a quick
email and students can
respond.
As the gadgets and
gizmos continue to
evolve in the world,
Hampton-Dumont will
not be left behind. Students continue to practice life-long skills by
being a part of a district
who places digital
learning
and community
building
as a high
priority.

this type of loss in their journey of life, to bring comfort by saying good-bye,
and to ¿nd closure, healing and hope for the future,” Campbell said.
Those wishing to attend are asked to call 641-428-7213 with approximate
number of people attending.
IBA Scholarships
for Project
Financial Literacy
The Iowa Bankers Association is
sponsoring ten $1,000 scholarships
that will be provided to Iowa high
schools participating in Project Financial Literacy this school year.
Starting Oct. 1, Iowa schools can
sign up to participate in this program
at www.projectÀ.org.
Project Financial Literacy is designed to promote ¿nancial literacy
education by providing high schools
with resources to measure and improve their ¿nancial literacy curriculum. The program offers schools
an assessment tool, created by Ednalysis, an Iowa-based company, to
measure their curriculum against the
21st Century Skills framework of
the Iowa Core Curriculum. The tool
helps measure students’ knowledge
in the areas of achieving ¿nancial
goals, managing money effectively,
debt decision-making, risk management, investment and asset building
and legal and ethical ¿nancial behavior.
The assessment tool is provided to
schools free of charge thanks to the
support of local sponsors, including
Iowa banks. Participating schools
also will be eligible for a mix of
merit-based and random drawings
from which 10 schools will receive
the scholarships sponsored by the
Iowa Bankers Association. Schools
can use the scholarships to improve
their ¿nancial literacy programs or
to provide scholarships to students.
Scholarship award winners will be
announced in early March 2015.

for making our outdoor movie night
a success. The weather was beautiful, but we did have a few uninvited

We had people sitting on lawn

cream cones, popcorn and water
were available before the movie
started for the crowd to enjoy. Our
movie was “Wild America.”
This is an older movie, so many
of the younger children had not seen
it. There was a lot of laughter but
the kids thought the snake part was
scary. We had one child tell Jodi we
should do this again before winter! I
don’t think that will happen, but I do
think we will try again next year.
If you have an idea for our next
movie, let us know. We are open suggestions. It is very hard to pick one
we think everyone would like.
I would like to thank the library
board for serving the snacks and
Kwik Star for donating the ice cream.
First Security Bank sponsored the
movie and paid for the license so a
big thank you to them. We hope to
see many of you at our next event.

Medicare offers one time a year for
seniors to change prescription drug
plans or enroll in a plan if they missed
earlier deadlines. Seniors should
watch their mail in October for 2015
Medicare Part D information and mark
their calendars to review their Medicare drug plan during the annual open
enrollment period that runs from Oct.
15 through Dec. 7.
Plans can change from year to year,
so the plan that was the right one for
you this year may not necessarily be
the best one for you in 2015. Last fall
approximately 80 percent of the people who compared plans with the help
of the State of Iowa’s Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP)
saved money by changing plans for the
next year.
Individuals can enroll online or get
a family member to help them enroll
online at www.medicare.gov, or call
1-800-MEDICARE and enroll by
phone. If you enroll online, be sure to
print and keep a copy of the con¿rmation. If you enroll by phone, request a
con¿rmation number and the name of
the person enrolling you; also note the
date and time that you enrolled. If you
enroll with an agent, be sure to keep a
copy of the enrollment form, dated and
signed by you and the agent.
Volunteer SHIIP counselor Marie
Russell, based at Franklin General
Hospital in Hampton, has information about Medicare prescription
drug plans for 2015 and is available
to help individuals compare plans, review their options and make changes
if they’d like. Anyone with questions
is encouraged to call the SHIIP line at
FGH, 641-456-5074, or contact Marie
Russell directly by calling 641-4564008.
The next opportunity for most people to enroll or change plans will be
at the end of 2015 so take advantage
of this opportunity to compare plans
and explore your options. The last
two weeks of before December 7 will
be busy for the plans, Medicare and
SHIIP, so it would be best not to delay!

• ‘Your Money Your Future’ online class begins
Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. Sometimes that philosophy can help people stretch their resources until the next paycheck arrives. However, a two-hour
class from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach
offers a better way to make the money last each month.
“Your Money Your Future” is an online class taught
by Brenda Schmitt, an ISU Extension and Outreach
human sciences specialist in family finance, the first
Monday of each month, beginning Oct. 6 at 5:30 p.m.
“What do you do when there is more month than money? When the bills are paid and your bank account is at or
below zero and you still need to buy groceries? Or when
the budget looks good until the car needs a new tire? We
all have been there,” Schmitt said. “ ‘Your Money, Your
Future’ ” is a two-hour commitment designed to help
people live in today’s economy and plan for the future.”
Participants in “Your Money, Your Future” have the
convenience of connecting to the class from home, needing only a computer with high speed Internet, speakers or a headset to hear the instructor, and a chat box or
microphone to communicate. Those registering for the
class will receive an email containing instructions for
logging on, links to printable materials and suggestions
on how to make the online class rewarding and engaging.
“Your Money, Your Future” also will be offered at 5:30
p.m. on Nov. 3, Dec. 1, Jan. 5 and Feb. 5. The registration
fee is $15 and certi¿cates of completion are available upon
request. For more information or to register for the class,

Key dates for the Health
Insurance Marketplace
Are you ready for the next Health Insurance Marketplace Open Enrollment
Period? Open enrollment is the time when you can apply for a new Marketplace plan, keep your current plan or pick a new one.
Four key dates you should know:
• Nov. 15: Open Enrollment begins. Apply for, keep, or change your coverage.
• Dec. 15: Enroll by the 15th if you want new coverage that begins on
January 1, 2015. If your plan is changing or you want to change plans, enroll
by the 15th to avoid a lapse in coverage.
• Dec. 31: Coverage ends for 2014 plans. Coverage for 2015 plans can start
as soon as January 1st.
• Feb. 15, 2015. This is the last day you can apply for 2015 coverage before
the end of Open Enrollment.
To buy Marketplace insurance outside of Open Enrollment, you must qualify for a Special Enrollment Period due to a qualifying life event like marriage, birth or adoption of a child, or loss of other health coverage.
To learn more visit the healthcare.gov website. Certi¿ed application counselors are also available at Iowa Specialty Hospital to help answer your Insurance Marketplace questions. Call 515-532-9300 to schedule an appointment.

Corn Growers announce harvest weight limit
As combines start hitting the ¿eld
this week throughout the state, Gov.
Terry Branstad signed into effect a
proclamation granting a temporary
weight limit exemption for trucks on
Iowa roads. The proclamation specifically increases the weight allowable
for shipment of corn, soybeans, hay,
straw and stover, by 12.5 percent per
axle (up to a maximum of 90,000
pounds) without the need for an
oversize/overweight permit.
The 2014 proclamation again
applies to loads transported on all
highways within Iowa, excluding
the interstate system. Trucks cannot
exceed the truck’s regular maximum
by more than 12.5 percent per axle
and must obey the posted limits on
all roads and bridges.
The proclamation directs the Iowa
Department of Transportation to
monitor the operation of the proclamation, assure the public’s safety and
facilitate the movement of the trucks
involved. Farmers who are transporting grain are also required to follow
their vehicle safety standards on axle
weights.
The exemption will be granted for
60 days beginning, and began last
week on Oct. 1.

Peak camping
season
winding down
Another busy year in Iowa’s state
parks will be coming to an end and
soon staff will be preparing for the
¿rst freezing temperatures of the fall.
State parks will begin winterizing their facilities in mid October,
including shutting off water in the
campground and closing shower
houses. Once the water is turned off,
the campground dump station is also
closed.
Campers can check the status of
water in a particular park by going
to the parks reservation system at
www.iowadnr.gov/parks and clicking on the Closure Information link
in the column on the left. The page is
updated regularly by park staff.
If campers have any questions
about water or other facilities during
the time of their stay, they should
contact the park directly.
“We have a number of fall campers who visit our parks after the water is off and they will need to use
the RV dump facilities at Iowa rest
areas to dump their trailers or motor
homes,” said Todd Coffelt, chief of
State Parks for the Iowa Department
of Natural Resources.
Iowa state park campgrounds
are open all year long. A list of rest
areas with RV facilities is available
at http://www.iowadot.gov/maintenance/restareas.html.

The pumpkin patch was a popular place at
the Harriman-Nielsen Historic Farm Sunday afternoon. Fall Festival-goers had the
chance to select their own pumpkins or
choose from some that were already picked.
TOP RIGHT: Anya McGuire, 11, tried her luck at hand-shelling corn during Fall Festival. Kids also had the chance
to try out an old-fashioned apple press. BELOW: Being
short has its perks sometimes. Theron Casper, 18 months,
Hampton, had the perfect vantage point into the goat pen
as he watched his furry friends nibble on some grass.
Joe Pitsor, left, set
a Fall Festival record
in the Tall Corn Competition with a plant
stretching 20’ 10”.
Bob Justice, right,
was second with a
plant measuring 20’,
and Shirley Pitsor
was third with a plant
measuring 19’ 7”. The
previous record was
18’.
Ron Zelle, Waverly, won the Biggest
Pumpkin Contest
with pumpkin weighing 151 pounds. Zelle
is the son-in-law of
Jay Sr. and Sally Van
Wert, Hampton.
Jacob Howard, 5, Hampton, won
a Slinky and a whistle playing
yard golf at Fall Festival. Franklin
County 4-H’ers hosted numerous
games on the farm’s yard.
Jackie Dohlman’s pumpkin muf¿ns landed her top honors in the
“It’s the Great Pumpkin BakeOff.” Jo Coonley won second

Enjoy Halloween fun
whether you’re young or
simply young at heart
Halloween hijinks include dressing up and scouring the neighborhood
for free candy. Halloween is the typically the best day of autumn for
children who have eagerly been awaiting the sweets free-for-all since the
start of the school year.
But Halloween is not just for youngsters. Many adults are equally enamored with Halloween, the one day of the year when men and women
can don a costume, act silly and let loose for an evening.
Some adults may wrestle with the decision to get dressed up for Halloween. But one trip to the costume store can shed light on just how
popular Halloween is among adults. Costumes devoted to older Halloween revelers often exceed those set aside for kids. The choice in adult
costumes is vast. Dressing up is not right for every occasion, but when
done correctly, it can enhance the fun of Halloween.
Costumes at the workplace may not always be acceptable. It is wise
to check with human resources personnel to learn the company policies
RQFRVWXPHV,IPDQDJHPHQWDQQRXQFHVDQLQRIÀFHFRVWXPHFRQWHVWRU
something similar, then this is an indication that costumes are acceptable.
Make sure you understand the parameters of getting dressed up and play
by the rules, or you could ruin the fun for employees in subsequent years.
Steer clear of any costumes that may send inappropriate messages or
use off-color language. You never know who might be in attendance at a
Halloween party, and certain costumes may be offensive.

discretion with regard to how much skin you want to show. Let the type
RIHYHQWLHRIÀFH+DOORZHHQSDUW\RUJDWKHULQJZLWKIULHQGV\RXDUH
attending help determine which costume you wear.
Select a comfortable costume. You want to be able to mingle at a Halloween party. Having a costume that constricts movement can impede
your ability to have fun. A large, cumbersome costume also might take up
too much room in a party space, and you may end up bumping
into other guests.
Remember to have fun. Embrace looking foolish for
one night
and wear your costume with
pride. If you are

Autumn is a great time to embark on road trips and take in the awesome spectacle of fall foliage.
Plan your fall foliage road trip
Come autumn, thousands of motorists take to the highways and
backroads to experience the ever-changing landscape made beautiful by leaves changing colors. Fall
foliage road trips make for a fun way
to spend a weekend afternoon.
With cameras in hand and provisions at the ready, motorists can
make the most of their next fall foliage road trip.
· Know when to go. Learn the best
times of the year to see the peak leaf
colors. Mountainous regions and
many located in northern latitudes
will see changes in leaf color earlier
than other regions. Drivers living in
certain areas of Canada, regions of
the Rocky Mountains or in particular parts of New England can expect
to witness leaves changing color as
early as September, while much of
the midwest can expect peak color
in mid- to late-October. Southern
regions may not see leaves change
color until November.
· Aim for a weekday. Many people plan fall foliage road trips on
Falling leaves present a beautiful
safety hazard (409 words, US, UK,
CAN)
Watching leaves turn brilliant
shades of color and fall from the
trees is a favorite activity each fall.
Drivers travel near and far to witness
spectacular and colorful displays of
fall foliage, hoping to catch the peak
hues in their respective areas of the
country.
While falling leaves can be a sight
to behold, those leaves can become
a nuisance to drivers in various
ways. Understanding certain inconveniences and safety risks posed
by falling leaves can help motorists
protect their vehicle and themselves.
Staining
Leaves can do more than just stain
driveways; they also can damage
a vehicle’s paint job. Should wet
leaves, sap and other chemicals that
leach out of the leaves stay on a car
for an extended period of time, they
can cause an outline stain and damage to the paint.
It’s important to manually pick
leaves off of the car’s surface right
after they fall. Do not sweep them
away; otherwise the leaves can
scratch the paint surface. When all
the leaves have been removed, thor-

oughly wash and dry the vehicle.
Should stains be present already,
use a commercial leaf-stain remover
or automotive paint cleaner. Tackle
one stain at a time.
Clogging
Leaves that fall can become
trapped in air intake vents, eventualO\LPSHGLQJÁRZDQGFDXVLQJRGRUV
Leaves that fall in the groove of the
windshield by the windshield wipers
should be removed. Use a high-powered shop vacuum to remove any
leaves that are imbedded in the venting.
Check other areas of the car where
leaves can become problematic,
such as under the vehicle or in the
rear exhaust pipe.
Slippery surfaces
The Car Care Council notes that
wet leaves on the surface of roadways can be hazardous. Wet leaves
can make roadways quite slippery,
even as slippery as roadways when
snow is falling. Drivers should slow
down when roads are covered with
wet leaves and take turns and offramps more carefully.
Dry leaves also can pose problems, as they tend to accumulate at
the edges of roads, where they easily
can obscure curbs or street markLQJV /HDYHV PD\ ÀOO SRWKROHV JLY
ing the false impression that a road is
smooth and causing damage to tires
and suspension systems when drivers drive over them.
Autumn leaves may be beautiful to
see, but they can complicate driving
and fall car care. Motorists should
keep their cars clear of leaves and
use caution on roadways. FC14A557

· Explore different spots. Do not
take the same route or visit the
same towns each year. Vary your
trips to experience a greater range
of autumn magic. From the eastern

many awe-inspiring palettes of fall
colors as possible. FC14A562

and will not cast much glare. Slightly
overcast days also may help leaves›
colors pop, but too much cloud cover may cause a lack of vibrancy in
leaf color.

days it will be hot. Sometimes you
may experience hot and cold weather on the same day. Dress in layers

jams. Schedule your own trip for a
weekday so you can avoid most of
the crowds and enjoy a more serene
environment for hiking excursions
or countryside visits.
· Book accommodations early. If
you plant to stay overnight, book
your trip as early as possible and
don’t be surprised if costs are high.
Autumn is not only a peak time for
leaf color changes, but also it’s a
prime time for vacationers interested in comfortable temperatures and
amazing scenery, so autumn lodging rates may be equal to or exceed
the rates charged during the height
of summer vacation season. Verify
room rates and openings well in advance if you have your heart set on
staying in prime leaf color country.
· Employ a few tricks of the photography trade. Fall foliage may be
at its most vibrant at sunrise and sunset when the sun is low in the sky
