IT’S SCARING SEASON IN IOWA.

And while there may be things you’ll travel out of state to see, when it comes toscaring the pee out of you there’s really no place like home.

Whether it’s a terrifying maze with no exit, a dark house with surprises around everycorner or even walls that seem to close in around you, Iowa’s haunted attractions have

been building, changing and expanding every year to bring new frights to your backyard.“You don’t say you’re a haunted house guy without living it and loving it,” said KevinSchults, owner of Heart of Darkness in Waterloo. “I build this for the Cedar Valley. Ifit wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be doing it.”

You see, Northeast Iowa? They love you. They love you so much they’re going tomake you scream, cry and run away fearing the guy with the grinding chainsawmight actually be serious.

SPOOKED : HAUNTS GEAR UP TO SCARE THE BEJEEZUS OUT OF V IS ITORS

PULSE COVER STORYM

ORE

PARANORMAL JAUNTSWant to get started right away? You might want to hearwhat Chad Lewis of Eau Claire, Wis., has to say. With a master’s degree in psychology and an interest in whypeople believe — or don’t believe — in paranormalactivity, Lewis tours the Midwest giving talks about thehaunted places he’s seen up close.

“With Halloween approaching a lot of people say, ‘Idon’t know if I believe in this or not, but it sounds fun,I’m gonna go check it out,’” Lewis said.

He’ll let people know about the ghost of the barefootoutlaw with a noose around his neck who wanders theBuchanan County Courthouse, slapping his feet noisilyon the floor. He’ll also describe something he’s heardfrom witnesses but hasn’t yet checked out — a boywho wanders around the Waterloo Walmart dressed inclothes from the 1800s.

“People say, ‘It was so quick, I wasn’t sure if it hadhappened or not,’” Lewis said.

HARRIS HAVEN FUNERAL HOMEThe Evansdale haunt, a former funeral home, accordingto its owners, saw approximately 6,500 visitors lastyear. But owner Gary Hall hasn’t been cooling his heelsin the attraction’s third year.

“We’ve completely redone the back area of the haunt;we’ve been making it a lot darker,” he said. “It’s a lotscarier this year than it has been.”

Harris Haven has added a forest and cabin scene, along with different lightingand special effects, to this year’s haunt.

The house is different from others because “when youwalk up to the house, you’re on your own,” Hall said.“To go through the house, you explore it yourself. You’renot rushed through or kicked out.”

Harris Haven is open weekends in October for $12 ($10for those age 11 and younger). Coupons and times areat www.harrishaven.com.

HAUNTED COURSEYour golf game is scary enough. So there’s no need tobring your clubs to the Jesup Golf Course.

Instead, relax inside the clubhouse eating appetizersand drinking beverages until your golf cart is ready todepart at dusk Oct. 29 and 30.

From there, take a pitch-black tour of the grounds,encountering your fair share of spooks, monsters andcrazies, according to clubhouse manager Val Frisch.

“The coolest part is we piggybacked this with the dramadepartment at the high school,” she said, noting thatmany of the students will be participating in the scares and $1 of the $10 admission will go to the department.

Though it’s only the first year for the Haunted Course,Frisch expects 250 people to go through in its one andonly weekend.

For more information, call 827-1152.

PARANORMAL JAUNTS HARRIS HAVEN FUNERAL HOME HAUNTED COURSE


Heart of DarknessThe longest-running and possibly the largesthaunted attraction in the Cedar Valley, accordingto owner Kevin Schults, is the Heart of Darknessin Waterloo.

For nine years the haunt has gotten bigger andbetter, he said. New animatronics — includingan attack dog and an old man with a shotgun ina rocking chair — and a New Orleans-styleabove-ground mausoleum with zombies aresome of the new features this year.

There’s a vortex tunnel, a room in which thewalls inflate to seem like they’re closing in, andwalls that shock to the touch.

“I’m out here right now” finishing the haunt, saidSchults. “We’ll be working ‘till the last minute.”

Thirty to 40 actors populate the attraction, whichlasts around 25 minutes. The Heart of Darknessis open weekends in October, includingThursdays and Sundays beginning Oct. 14, and aspecial “kids day” Oct. 10 with no scares willbenefit the Northeast Iowa Food Bank.

Admission is $12. For more information, times and coupons, visit entertheheartofdarkness.com.

Don’t pack away the camper just yet

Instead, camp — if you dare — at the RotaryReserve in Cedar Falls, site of Panic ParkHaunted House.

It’s run by the Black Hawk County ConservationBoard as a revenue source and helps bringpeople to the parks even after the busy summerseason has gone.

“It puts campers in those campgrounds, getsthem out one more time,” said Mike Hendrickson,north unit ranger with the board. “We continually look for new ways to extend our seasons.”

For $9, visitors can try to find their way out of theexpanded Sausage Grinder maze and try tododge the 25-30 actors inhabiting various roomsof the haunt.

Around 2,500 visitors came last year. Theattraction was closed in 2008 due to flooding.

It will be open weekends in October. For timesand coupons, visit www.panicpark.org.

Tomás Kubínek, “Certified Lunatic and Master of the Impossible,” had an idea to combinehis madcap zaniness with a symphony orchestra to delight and inspire longtime concertgo-ers and newcomers alike. Who could help him make it happen? He called Hancher, anorganization he fell in love with when he participated in Spot — The Hancher Family ArtsAdventure. The folks at Hancher connected Kubínek with Maestro Timothy Hankewich and Orchestra Iowa. The resulting collaboration — bombastic, beautiful, heartfelt and hilarious— will be performed in Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Decorah and Mason City. Kubínek will thenperform the piece with the Omaha Symphony before taking it around the country and theworld. Be there at the beginning to see this sparkling new work.

the guide to get you there

the sky’s the limit

A generation ago, college orientation was aperfunctory affair, lasting little more than aday. The focus was on registering for classesand buying textbooks. If parents were neededat all, it was primarily for their wallets.

Now, universities are putting more emphasison this annual ritual than ever before, hopingthat time and energy expended during thesummer will boost student success and avertproblems during the school year.

At the University of Massachusetts Amherst,for example, orientation lasts 2 1/2 days andincludes a separate program for parents,increased from one day to two in 2006. DePaulUniversity also has beefed up its sessions,with an overnight stay to help establish asense of community right from the start. Twoyears ago, the University of Minnesota tackedon a "Welcome Week" for freshmen on top ofthe traditional midsummer confab.

The expansion is needed, say administrators,to address a range of topics that didn't exist orweren't discussed much a decade ago: illegaldownloads, sexting, plagiarism, credit cardabuse and along with more concern aboutalcoholism, eating disorders and other mentalhealth issues.

Rolling out the welcome mat also builds arelationship with Mom and Dad, who havebeen much more involved in their kids' livesthan previous generations.

"We recognize that the issues of transition are much greater than just academics," saidJennifer Weed, DePaul's associate director fornew student programs.

But all the front-end investment has abottom-line payoff as well. Some schools loseas much as 40 percent of incoming freshmen, said the American Association of CollegiateRegistrars and Admissions Officers. It's morecost-effective to spend resources on retainingcurrent students than on recruiting new ones.

"If you hurry through this, what happens whenstudents have their first crisis? They quit ... theytransfer," said Dan Saracino, the University ofNotre Dame's recently retired admissionsdirector. "To spend an extra day to improve thelikelihood of staying is just good business."

Ever since the shootings at Virginia Tech andNorthern Illinois Universities, personal safetyhas zoomed to the top of the list of parentalconcerns. Some 63 percent of all schools nowhave psychiatrists on staff at least part time anda message every campus seems eager to deliver.

While young adults arrive on campus morewell-traveled, they are less worldly, officialssaid. Since fewer share rooms anymore, moretime is spent on conflict resolution. Dittoalcohol and responsible decision-making. "This is something the university is focusing on muchmore than we would like," said Weed, acknowl-edging DePaul's proximity to bars and clubs.

Also in a nod to the times, many institutionshave fortified sessions on financial fitness("You'd be surprised how many kids will signup for a credit card just to get a free T-shirt,"one dean said) and file sharing as a practicethat many students consider normal, but thatthe music business views as theft.

And the captive audience is a perfectopportunity for schools to build partnershipswith parents, whether over life skills orcurriculum (at Reed College in Portland, Ore.,elders can read "The Odyssey" and thensample a freshman humanities course).

Given that baby boomers have been involved with their

children's education since preschool, why pull back now?

Unlike earlier generations, who had more of asink-or-swim approach, today's parents are infrequent contact with their sons and daughters,according to the findings of a 2006 survey byCollege Parents of America. About 74 percent of900 respondents talk "at least two to three timesa week, while 34 percent communicate daily."

Such engagement is why, in addition to biggerorientations, many institutions are providinglinks on their websites for Mom and Dad, whomay be out $40,000 if their child flunks out.

"Today, schools are marketing as much toparents as to students and especially in ashaky economy," said Katherine Cohen, CEOand founder of IvyWise, a college consultingcompany. "They know that it's parents who aregiving their hard-earned dollars ... and want toknow what they are getting for their money."

But others insist it's less about consumerismthan being proactive, said Barmak Nassirian,a spokesman for the American Association ofCollegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.

"Schools aren't keeping everyone longer for thehell of it," he said. "It's because there's somuch more ground to cover ... and you have tomake a good-faith effort to give it to thembefore you hand over the key."

Every student at Allen College gets community service experience-faculty and staff have made sure of it. Students graduate from AllenCollege knowing the importance of community service and havingseveral hands-on community service experiences under their belts.

“We want every student to understand the importance of communityservice,” said Mary Brown, associate professor. “It’s our responsibility togive back as healthcare professionals in the community, and we ensureevery student knows that.”

Recently, the community service efforts of Allen College faculty, staff andstudents were recognized at the national level. Allen College was namedto the 2009 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

The Honor Roll award is administered by the Corporation for NationalCommunity Service (CNCS) and is the highest federal recognition acollege or university can receive for its commitment to volunteering,service-learning and civic engagement.

The Honor Roll includes six colleges and universities that are recognized as Presidential Awardees, with an additional 115 named to the DistinctionList and 621 schools named as Honor Roll members. Honorees are chosenbased on a series of selection factors including the scope and innovationof service projects, percentage of student participation in serviceactivities, incentives for service, and the extent to which the school offersacademic service-learning courses.

“We are so proud of the service our generous and caring students haveprovided to the Cedar Valley,” said Allen College Chancellor Dr. JerryDurham. “Most of our undergraduate nursing students and many of ourhealth science students at Allen College have volunteered their time,energy and expertise to better our community.”

During the 2008-2009 school year, 175 of the 416 enrolled students were engaged in community service activities for a total of 2,213 hours. AllenCollege submitted three community service projects for award consider-ation including the Parochial School Screening Project, the ACE-SAP(Allen Community Engagement-Salvation Army Program) Free Clinic,and the Salvation Army Blood Pressure and Foot Screening Clinic.

“Our faculty and students do such high-quality work in the community,”said Brown. “The goal is to move up to receive the distinction award,which is a definite possibility in the next few years.”

Every student participates in community service activities as part of theirAllen College education.

Honorees are chosenbased on a series of selection factors including the scope and innovationof service projects, percentage of student participation in serviceactivities, incentives for service, and the extent to which the school offersacademic service-learning courses.

“We are so proud of the service our generous and caring students haveprovided to the Cedar Valley,” said Allen College Chancellor Dr. JerryDurham. “Most of our undergraduate nursing students and many of ourhealth science students at Allen College have volunteered their time,energy and expertise to better our community.”

During the 2008-2009 school year, 175 of the 416 enrolled students were engaged in community service activities for a total of 2,213 hours. AllenCollege submitted three community service projects for award consider-ation including the Parochial School Screening Project, the ACE-SAP(Allen Community Engagement-Salvation Army Program) Free Clinic,and the Salvation Army Blood Pressure and Foot Screening Clinic.

“Our faculty and students do such high-quality work in the community,”said Brown. “The goal is to move up to receive the distinction award,which is a definite possibility in the next few years.”

Every student participates in community service activities as part of theirAllen College education.

The University of Northern Iowa Gallery of Artwill present a solo exhibition, "The UntraceablePresent: Paintings by Duane Slick," through Oct.24. The exhibition will feature a decade or more ofpaintings as well as the artist's books. It is thesecond in a yearlong series of events featuring UNIDepartment of Art alumni titled "Time is Ripe."

Slick is a Mesqwaki artist from Waterloo who holdbachelor’s degrees from UNI in painting and artedution. He is professor of painting and printmakingat the Rhode Island School of Design. Slick has beenawarded the Robert Motherwell Foundation Fellow-ship as well as the Ronald and Susan Dubin NativeArtist Fellow for the School for Advanced Researchin Santa Fe, N.M. Most recently he was awarded the Eitelijorg Fellowship for Native American Fine Art,Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis.

"In narrative traditions, to tell the story of tragedyone must always begin by telling the ending first,”Slick said. “I once believed that the weight of suchexpectations functioned as a cultural given for theartist of Native American descent. Its rules statedthat we cry for a vision and place ourselves in asingle grand narrative of history and representation."

Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday throughThursday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday; and noon to 5p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The gallery is at thecorner of Hudson Road and West 27th Street inCedar Falls, on the main floor of Kamerick ArtBuilding South.

The first national tour of “Legally Blonde: The Musical” will perform at the Adler Theatre in Davenport at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 9, for one performance only.

Sorority star Elle Woods doesn’t take “no” for an answer. So when her boyfriend dumps her for someone more “serious,” Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style.

In its first year on Broadway, “Legally Blonde: The Musical” earned seven Tony Award nominations, 10 Drama Desk Award nominations and an Outer Critics Circle Award.

Tickets, starting at $31, can be purchased at all Ticketmaster locations, www.ticket-master.com, the Adler Theatre box office or (800) 745-3000.

America’s premier comedian is hitting the road in a return to his first love — stand-up comedy. Jerry Seinfeld has an uncanny ability to joke about the little things in life that relate to audiences everywhere, and he will bring his insights to the Adler Theatre at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 22.

Tickets, starting at $47, are available at ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster outlets, the Adler Theatre box office in Davenport or (800) 745-3000.

Lissie, a Rock Island, Ill., native, will re-turn to the area for a concert at the Red-stone Room at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 16.

Lissie is gradually becoming the Quad Cities’ claim to fame with praise from Rolling Stone, Paste, Nylon, Filter, Ma-rie Claire and even Perez Hilton. She’s a straight-talking Midwestern girl, smart and gutsy and tough, with a big voice to match it.

She released “Why You Runnin’” in the U.S. late last year, which earned the young

singer high praise. The EP caught the at-tention of new fans, and she toured with Ray LaMontagne, A.A. Bondy, City & Colour and the Low Anthem. She eventu-ally tackled a whirlwind SXSW schedule — 10 shows in four days — with ease. Since early this year, Lissie has largely been based in London, where “Catching a Tiger,” her new album was first released.

Tickets are on sale now for $12 at www.redstoneroom.com; the River Music Ex-perience box office, 129 Main St., Daven-port; or either Quad City Co-Op location. Tickets will be $15 at the door.

D.R.I., known for its high-energy per-formances and nonstop touring, is mak-ing a stop in Waterloo at Spicoli’s Grill and the Reverb Rock Garden at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 5, as part of a national tour.

Dirty Rotten Imbeciles is a hardcore/crossover thrash band that formed in Houston, in 1982. D.R.I. has performed all over the world in the last two de-cades. The band is made up of founding members vocalist Kurt Brecht and gui-tarist Spike Cassidy, as well as drum-mer Rob Rampy and bassist Harald Oimoen.

Though D.R.I. has never gained a main-stream audience, the integration of their

hardcore punk roots mixed with thrash metal influences was a stylistic catalyst for their contemporaries — most no-tably Suicidal Tendencies, Corrosion of Conformity and Stormtroopers of Death — alongside whom they are con-sidered pioneers of what would later be called crossover thrash. This subgenre was also coined from their 1987 album, “Crossover.”

To date, D.R.I. has released seven origi-nal studio albums. In 2004, D.R.I. re-leased a Web-only demo track, “Against Me,” its first recording in a decade.

Tickets are on sale now at Spicoli’s, 3555 University Ave, for $12. Tickets will be $15 at the door.

Friday, October 22, Englert Theater, Iowa CityEntering what F. Scott Fitzgerald might term the third act of an already celebrated career, Max Weinberg presents the Max Weinberg Big Band.Building upon his 17 years as the leader of what Tom Shales, famed TVcritic of the Washington Post called, “the best band in late nighttelevision,” the Max Weinberg Big Band is a bold, swinging 15- pieceaggregation that continues the traditions established by Weinberg’smusical heroes — Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Buddy Rich, GeneKrupa, Doc Severinsen and Maynard Ferguson.

Referred to by Robert Palmer of The New York Times as “the rhythmic backbone of The E Street Band, Weinberg was featured with the bandduring the 2009 Super Bowl XLIII, the largest TV audience in SuperBowl history. Most recently he was featured with Bruce and The EStreet Band on the HBO Special, ”The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame 25thAnniversary,” which was recorded live at Madison Square garden.

Since their arrival on the music scene in 1993 in a legendary residency at LosAngeles’ Brown Derby nightclub, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s irresistible liveshow and aggressive, musically perceptive approach has proven them overtime to be the singular standout among the numerous bands that launchedthe ‘90s swing revival. The seven-man group forged a massively successfulfusion of classic American sounds from jazz, swing, Dixieland and big-bandmusic, building their own songbook of original dance tunes, and, 16 yearslater, BBVD is a veteran force that to this day adds new fans by the roomfulevery time they play. BBVD’s originals rocketed the group into its first phase ofstardom when “You & Me and the Bottle Makes Three (Tonight)” and “GoDaddy-O” were featured in the 1996 indie film landmark “Swingers.”

Burger King double cheeseburgers.Ritz crackers and M&Ms. The NicolasCage movie "Valley Girl." And, ofcourse, MTV.

Modern English has gotten plenty of mileageand money from its 1982 single, "I Melt With You" — the kind of exposure that could ban asong from a set list forever.

But it's just too good to skip.

"I never get sick of playing it," said RobbieGrey, lead singer of the British punk-popband.

"Because when you look out at the audience, everyone is looking back at you and smilingand singing."

That kind of scene is playing out a lot thisyear, as bands that made their names in the'80s are reuniting and giving it another go.

Post-punk bands like Squeeze and theEnglish Beat are back together and teamingup on tour. We've seen the reunions ofUltravox, the Specials and ABC. EvenSpandau Ballet laid down its lawsuits andpulled "True" out of storage.

"I really think the reunions have a lot to dowith the fact that music doesn't seem asimportant as it used to be," Grey said. "A12-year-old kid on the street, they're gettingmusic free, they don't want to buy it. But Iwas knocking on the door of the record shop.

"It's nostalgia, but at the same time, ourswas an important time for music."

You understand, then, why Modern Englishused "old school" equipment to record itsnew album, "Soundtrack."

The album was produced by Hugh Jones, whoproduced their first album, and the bandused things like an analog keyboard torecreate the '80s sound.

"We love all that stuff," Grey said. "It's got atone and a depth to it. It's quite a moodyalbum, whereas modern recordings are kindof clean."

The single off the album, "It's OK," isstraightforward pop.

"It's got a nice bounce to it," Grey said. "That'swhere we come from, the punk-rockmovement. We're going back to what we know."

So, too, are the audiences, who pack in andcut loose like the kids they used to be.

"The audience is generally 50-year-olds with big stomachs and long hair, and then you'llhave their sons and daughters," Grey said."It's brilliant."

And here Grey thought he was going to "walk on stage and sit on a stool."

"But the energy comes from somewhere," hesaid. "We're so happy with the new album.Having new stuff to play really works for us."

Playing the old stuff doesn't hurt, either. Itmay have paid the bills and sold a lot ofburgers and candy, but one song in particularwas just good, solid post-punk, Grey said.

"'I Melt with You' is an amazing song," Greysaid. "I don't know why, but it's fantastic."

MODERN ENGLISH IS BACK AND SO IS ‘I MELT WITH YOU'

Random House Children's Books plans a first printing of 500,000 copies.

The stainless steel and black granite piece — estimated dimensions 20 feet long, 10 feet wide and 12 to 14 feet tall — will be placed at the corner of Santee Avenueand Harden Street.
