Autumn Colors
Autumn is approaching and I’m
looking forward to photographing
this year’s fall foliage. The leaves
should start changing in a few
weeks – hopefully the colors this
year will be spectacular.
Before the colors are at their
peak I look for individual trees that
have great color. I also scout out
areas that I think will look great at
peak time so I’ll be ready when the
leaves finally turn. I prefer areas
that have the trees reflected in
water.
Check out the farm markets
for some colorful shots and don’t
forget the cranberry harvest. Fallen
leaves make interesting patterns, so

highly anticipated read for us.
October’s choice is both a classic and a fit-
ting book for Halloween. We are reading the
Gothic thriller, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.
OOOOOOH! First published in 1818, as indicated
in its Amazon listing, “few creatures of horror
have seized readers’ imaginations and held them
for so long as the anguished monster.” Made and
remade into many films, the original story should
prove a deliciously creepy read.
If any of these books spark your interest, we
would love to meet you and talk about them.
Please join us in the Clubhouse for Manhattan

will be discussed on Monday, October 29th. . All
meetings begin at 11:00 AM. We hope to see you
there and hear your thoughts and ideas.

Easy To Grow Perennials
Lilian Finlay, Rutgers Master Gardener
The great attraction in growing perennial
flowers is that you never have to replant them, at
least in theory. This doesn’t make all perennials
care-free though. Few of them let you sit back to
enjoy them year after year once they’re planted.
Knock Out Roses, once established will re-
quire little upkeep. A Bayer product spray in the
spring, to repel Japanese beetles & fungal disease
is required. Pruning can be hazardous due to
thorns, so, heavy duty gardening gloves & sharp
pruning scissors are needed. Also, a Rose fertilizer
ever three weeks during growing season. Stop
fertilizing August first.
A few perennials do live up to gardeners’
hopes of a plant you set in the ground and do noth-
ing more than enjoy. Hosta, peony, daylily and
hellebore come to mind. All with dense enough
foliage to even shade out most weeds. Baby’s
breath and butterfly shrub are perennials that
rarely need attention. Keep them weeded.
Early October is an ideal time to plant peren-
nials. The ground is still warm, allowing the roots
to grow stress free. In the spring when the plants
come out of dormancy, they should bloom bet-
ter than if they were planted in the spring. Most
garden centers have good sales of healthy plants
in early October.

like that to the unknown Zuppke, who, when a student at
Wisconsin, wasn’t even good enough to be a football star!
But Zuppke shocked the sport world, for his football teams
became sensationally successful. They came to be called
“adding machines” because of the top-heavy scores they
ran up against opposing elevens. He was the first to create
the open type of game, and he was always several steps
and years ahead of other coaches. He invented forward
passes, laterals, split bucks, spinners, reverses.
At every game that Illinois played, Fanny sat and
watched Bob and his boys make football history. Always
in the background, she walked hand in hand with Bob on
his march to fame, as wife, devoted companion, sweetheart
and mother. Often, Bob Zuppke would walk into his wife’s
room and find her busily engaged in pasting newspaper
stories into her scrap books, accounts of all the Illinois
victories. Once Zuppke gently teased her by asking her
why she never included Illinois defeats.
Fanny looked up at him and smiled. “Because, Bob,”
she answered, “to me, you never lose,”
Year after year, Bob and Fanny sat in her room for

“The Marines are looking for a few good
men.” This phrase, or some variation of it, has ap-
peared on quite a few recruiting posters through-
out Marine history. But this slogan wasn't created
in an advertising boardroom. The roots of “a few
good men” goes back to 1799 with Marine Capt.
William Jones's plea in the Providence Gazette.
“The Continental ship Providence, now laying at
Boston, is bound on a short cruise, immediately a
few good men are wanted to make up her comple-
ment.” You'll find this phrase on recruiting posters
throughout Corps history, in addition to the title ADS-03
of the classic film starring Jack Nicholson.

being considered for the 2020 Olympics, the
televised matches showed aspects of intense and
aggressive women on roller skates. Points were
scored by how many times a “jammer” could lap
the opposing team. The jammer is usually the
fastest woman on the team, and she has to be ex-
tremely light on her feet so that she could dodge
elbows, jump over opponents and sometimes skate
under their legs. They were a sight to see and
enjoy, especially because they added a different
dimension to roller skating. They did all of this on
the old, heavy and bulky roller skates (you know
the ones that you had to adjust with a key).
The other sport was wrestling. Before wres-
tling became the big news sport of recent years,
wrestling matches were always shown on televi-
sion. Most of the matches were between men,
but they would always show at least one match
between the women. The women were just as
intense as were the men, and sometimes even
more so. The matches were entertaining because
they drew a wide audience every week. Then, of
course, wrestling became big business and that
changed everything.
