STUMP GRINDING

Once again, a HUGE THANK YOU to all who supported me in the September Primary for Town of Brant Highway Superintendent! The encouragement you have shown to me during my first-time campaign, is very much appreciated. I would be grateful for your support in the upcoming November election as well!

Sincerely, Bill Friend

VOTE FOR BILL FRIEND BRANT HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT

Some things to know about Bill:

Bill is a man of strong integrity. He is a man of service to others. Bill listens, learns your needs and then he serves. Bill has the uncanny ability to just pitch in and has been doing so for the community of Brant for years. He gets the job done.

For example, Lajos Asboth, Brant farmer, had a stroke two years ago and needed help with his cows. Bill said he would take care of the farm twice daily and did this for months and months. If Bill’s work took him out of town, he made arrangements with his own family and still got the job done. He also would check on Mr. and Mrs. Asboth daily because the Asboth family could not be there daily to help their elderly parents. Why did Bill do this? Because Bill gave his word. He has been a blessing to Brant families and continues to impact others by generous gift of giving of himself.

Next example, Peter Gugino Farms ... Bill was a mechanic for Peter for years. He always went above and beyond, night or day, did anything that needed to get done, and did it unselfishly! Bill was always there to help.

A person of this character surely would carry these work ethics and positive traits over as the NEXT HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT OF THE TOWN OF BRANT. Please vote for Bill on November 3rd.

BILL FRIEND IS A FRIEND TO ALL.

If other supporters of Bill have testimonials like this, please share! Paid for by the Asboth Family

MOMENTS IN TIME

History Channel

* On Oct. 16, 1793, nine months after the execution of her husband, King Louis XVI of France, Marie-Antoinette follows him to the guillotine. At a time of economic turmoil in France, she lived extravagantly and allegedly responded to news that the French peasantry had no bread to eat by callously replying, “Let them eat cake.”

* On Oct. 18, 1867, the U.S. formally takes possession of Alaska after buying the territory from Russia for $7.2 million, or less than 2 cents an acre. The American public ridiculed the purchase, believing the land to be barren and worthless.

* On Oct. 17, 1931, gangster Al Capone is sentenced to 11 years in prison, sig-

naling the downfall of one of the most notorious criminals of the 1920s and ‘30s. FBI agent Eliot Ness and his men routinely broke up Capone’s bootlegging businesses, but it was tax-evasion charges that ﬁnally stuck.

* On Oct. 12, 1940, cowboy-movie star Tom Mix is killed when he loses control of his speeding Cord Phaeton convertible and rolls into a dry wash in Arizona. Mix was hit in the back of the head by a heavy aluminum suitcase, killing him almost instantly.

* On Oct. 13, 1957, American movie audiences are treated to the science-ﬁction thriller “The Amazing Colossal Man.” Other ﬁlms of the Cold War nuclear-weapon culture included

“Them!” (1954) and “The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms” (1953).

* On Oct. 14, 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis begins, bringing the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear conﬂict. High-altitude photographs offered evidence of Soviet-made medium-range missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the U.S.

* On Oct. 15, 1989, Canadian ice hockey great Wayne Gretzky breaks Gordie Howe’s National Hockey League career scoring record of 1,850 points. Gretzky dominated professional hockey during the 1980s, setting numerous records.

SALOME’S STARS

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your moodier side might emerge this week. But the dark period should pass in time for the party-loving Lamb to go on a happy gambol with some very special people this weekend.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Yet again, you show your skill at being able to indulge in your love of the arts this week while still taking care of practical matters, including some still-unﬁnished business matters.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A potential change might appear to be what you’ve been looking for. In any event, consider both the negative as well as the positive possibilities before making any sort of decision.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Relationships continue to dominate your aspect this week on a mostly positive level, with just a few problem areas you can smooth over. Also, try to be ﬂexible about travel plans.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You love being on center

stage, and while you absolutely purr at the sound of all that praise, be careful not to take on too many commitments at the expense of time spent with loved ones.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might feel that you need to get involved in a matter concerning a friend or relative. But while the issues appear to be cut and dried, they might not be. Get more facts before you act.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A suggestion about a policy change could create heated reactions. Keep your mind open and resist joining in with naysayers unless they can show a real basis for their position.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) While potential career changes warrant your interest, don’t ignore current job responsibilities. A personal relationship also can beneﬁt from more of your attention.

to make the best decision possible. The wise course is to ask direct questions and act on the answers you get.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your efforts involving that pesky problem should soon show positive signs of being resolved. This would allow you to shift some of your focus in another direction.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) While you enjoy well-deserved praise for getting a difﬁcult job done, there’s no time to relax. A new challenge looms. Expect more support from a once-strong critic.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might still have explaining to do about your decision, but support grows as you continue to make your case. You also might want to start making plans for the upcoming holidays.

BORN THIS WEEK: You insist on making decisions based on facts, not on popular opinions. Have you considered a career in science?

Fun Family Autumn Activities

Fall is a great time to enjoy the great outdoors. Beautiful fall foliage coupled with great weather compel many people to spend ample time outdoors before the arrival of harsh winter weather drives them back indoors. The following are a handful of actvities that are tailor-made for fall.

* Raking Leaves: While raking leaves might not jump out at you as a great way to spend a nice fall afternoon, families often find raking leaves together soon turns into a fun day in the yard. Build leaf piles and let the kids jump in! When raking, encourage kids to collect some colorful leaves for homemade crafts.

* Hayride: Hayrides are another fall tradition, and many farms offer relaxing hayrides throughout fall. Younger children who may tire if asked to patrol an apple orchard for apples might find a hayride is more their speed. Some farms may even allow customers to walk the grounds and visit the animals on the premises.

* Hiking: Hiking is a fun activity that can be enjoyed nearly year-round, but it’s especially enjoyable in the fall. That’s because few things in nature are as captivating as a park or forest when the fall foliage is in full bloom. Early fall also boasts ideal temperatures for hiking, as the mercury likely won’t rise enough or sink low enough to produce the kind of extreme temperatures that can compromise a hiker’s afternoon. Instead, fall temperatures tend to be mild and comfortable, allowing hikers to fully enjoy their often beautiful surroundings.

* Fall Mazes: Visiting a corn maze or straw maze is another activity that many people instantly associate with fall. Some farmers transform their cornfields into corn mazes once the temperatures dip, and such mazes can be fun for adults and children alike. Though adolescents can often be trusted to find their way through mazes, younger kids should be accompanied by an adult.

* Pumpkins: Go pick your future jack-o’-lantern from a nearby pumpkin patch or find one at a local market. Let your youngsters pick out their own pumpkins and then spend the rest of the day carving them at home. And don’t forget to save those seeds, which can be roasted over an open flame to make a delicious snack.

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Blood Donation’s Affect on Athlete

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a fit 54-year-old male who bicycles a lot. My friends and I are pretty competitive when we do our rides, pushing hard and challenging each other in positive ways. I donate blood as often as I’m allowed. After donating, my legs feel more fatigued when I ride, and I’m not as strong, particularly on the climbs. How long can I use my blood donation as an “excuse” for lacking strength? -- A.R.

ANSWER: What ultimately determines how much work your legs can do is the amount of oxygen the muscles are able to get, once you have achieved a high level of muscular fitness. The amount of red blood cells in your blood and the amount of blood your heart can pump are the limiting factors for oxygen delivery in a healthy person. So, for a given degree of cardiovascular fitness, your ability to go fast and climb hills is directly influenced by how many red blood cells you have. That’s why elite cyclists sometimes used to get blood transfusions before a race. An extra unit of blood might make only a 3 percent difference, but the difference between the winner of the Tour de France and the last-place finisher is right around 3 percent. Unfortunately, too many red blood cells increases the risk for stroke and heart attack, and several amateur and professional cyclists have died as a complication of too much blood transfused or its more modern equivalent, the hormone erythropoietin, which causes the body to make more of its own blood. Losing

blood, from bleeding or donation, consequently reduces performance. The plasma (fluid and proteins) is made up within 24 hours after donating blood, but it takes four to six weeks to regain the blood cells. Donating a unit of blood can save up to three lives. That should give you some consolation. Maybe persuade your friends to donate blood at the same time, so you all are on a level playing field, so to speak. ***

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am looking to have surgery on my cervical vertebrae at a prestigious hospital in St. Louis. Before I had even made up my mind, the hospital sent a form regarding arbitration. If anything should go wrong, they want me to agree to arbitration instead of going through the court system. They say the choice is mine. Is this normal preoperative paperwork? -- T.B.

ANSWER: This is increasingly common, and a brief survey of surgeons gave me a mixed response -- some felt it wasn’t a red flag at all, and others recommend-

ing double-checking the surgeon’s record, perhaps through the state medical board. Any disciplinar y action must be publicly available, and in Missouri it is freely available on the website at pr.mo.gov/healingarts.asp.

While I understand you might be taken aback by the question, many hospitals are moving toward arbitration as a means of reducing malpractice coverage costs. I personally don’t see it as a reason to be concerned about the surgeon. However, I spoke with an attorney, who advised not agreeing to arbitration, as it isn’t germane to your medical condition and may limit your options later.

COUCH THEATER

By Sam Struckhoff

PICKS OF THE WEEK

“Tomorrowland” (PG) --

What we once knew as “the part of Disney World that has Space Mountain” is now a feature-length futuristic adventure starring George Clooney. Casey (Brittany Robertson), a plucky, science-oriented teen, finds a pin that takes her to a world of futuristic fancy. She meets up with a former boy-genius (Clooney) in the hopes that they can find their way back to Tomorrowland, where things are shiny, science is awesome, and mankind lives in harmony with the planet. The film is really, really fixed on this idea that science and society in general were better and more hopeful some decades ago, and that we need that oldtime optimism once again if we’re going to make it through the various social and environmental problems of today. If you can stomach the preaching, it’s a fun ride for the kids, and a lot less expensive than a trip to Space Mountain.

“San Andreas” (PG-13) -Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson brings a helicopter to an earthquake fight in this mega-disaster thriller. Ray Gaines (Johnson) is a rescue guy who needs to patch things up with his ex-wife so they can save their daughter from a super earthquake that’s rearranging California. Not much else to see or hear over the roaring special effects. It’s a big, loud spectacle that doesn’t bring much originality to the table. The real objective here is getting The Rock in a vehicle and watching it go. Some viewers may need to chug large quantities of soda or tea, as the boom and blunder is hard to appreciate without a raging sugar-rush. It’s fun, but not worth the conse-

quences.

“Dope” (R) -- Malcolm (Shameik Moore) is on his way to college from a rough neighborhood in California. He’s smart, funny and a proud geek who knows his hip-hop trivia. Just when he’s got his shot at being really cool, a series of events leaves Malcolm with a large amount of drugs and orders to sell it -- or else! This rare summer comedy was hailed across the film festivals for its originality, sharp wit, slick direction and hyper-awareness. With this one role, Moore has eyes on him for a follow-up performance. Pick this one up for a different perspective on what the kids are up to these days.

“Manos: The Hands of Fate” (R) -- This 1966 no-budget drive-in flop is lauded

as the worst movie ever -- and it’s now remastered for Blu-Ray! The first act features a punishingly boring account of a husband, wife and young daughter getting lost on a Texas road trip. They stop for the night a tiny lodge tended by Torgo, a scruffy weirdo whose exaggerated limp gets its own theme music every time he hobbles across the screen. There’s an undying dark priest in a stupid hand-themed robe, The Master, but he doesn’t evoke so much fear as pity, since he can get no peace from his harem of bickering immortal wives. Fair Warning: “Manos” is so bad that it’s challenging to finish. Watch with funny friends, or pick up the “Mystery Science Theater 3000” version, which is almost the same experience.
