Smart College Offers Guidance on College Transfer Planning

Minneapolis, Minnesota - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Smart College is sharing guidance for students and families who are considering a transfer to another college. The company provides one-on-one college transfer support that covers college list development, application preparation, essay guidance, credit transfer review, four-year graduation planning, and scholarship search for students who want to change institutions.
College transfer decisions often involve more variables than an initial college search. Students must evaluate how previously earned credits will apply at a new school, whether a change of major or location aligns with their goals, and how the move affects overall time to degree. Smart College works with students to build a customized list of potential transfer destinations and to organize the application and documentation process so that credit evaluations and remaining degree requirements are clear before an enrollment decision is made.
"Transfer students frequently face tighter timelines and more complex credit evaluation than students applying for the first time," said Kristin Edwards, founder of Smart College. "The process requires careful review of which courses will transfer and how those credits fit into a four-year graduation plan at the new institution."
The company’s college transfer services include a credit transfer audit, assistance with applications and essays, scholarship research, and the creation of a four-year graduation plan. Meetings can take place in person or virtually. Support is structured around the individual student’s academic record, intended major, and preferred location rather than a standard first-year application timeline. Students receive help identifying institutions that accept their existing credits and that offer the programs they want to complete.
Smart College’s broader college planning work uses a seven-step process that addresses college selection, resume development, financial aid information, campus visit planning, testing strategy, essays, and application timelines. For transfer students, elements of that process are adapted to account for existing college coursework and the need to confirm credit applicability before an enrollment decision. The credit transfer audit is used to map completed courses against degree requirements at potential new schools, which helps students understand how many additional terms they may need.
"Families sometimes assume that transferring is simpler than starting over, but the opposite is often true because of credit evaluation and the compressed schedule," Edwards continued. "Reviewing potential transfer destinations alongside a clear picture of remaining degree requirements helps students avoid losing time or taking unnecessary courses."
The guidance is intended for students who have already completed some college coursework and are evaluating a change of institution. Smart College also continues to serve high school students through college planning, ACT and SAT preparation, and academic tutoring. The company maintains partnerships that make services available at co-working locations in the Twin Cities metro area and has previously integrated college advising into a school-wide program at an independent classical school. Transfer support follows the same one-on-one advising model used for initial college planning, with adjustments for the distinct requirements of credit evaluation and a shorter decision window.
Students who are considering a transfer can use the process to compare how different institutions will treat their existing credits and how those credits affect overall time to graduation. The work includes organizing application materials, refining essays that address the reason for the transfer, and identifying scholarship opportunities that may be available to transfer applicants. Meetings are scheduled according to the student’s needs and can be held in person or virtually so that students already enrolled at another college can participate without disrupting their current semester.


Smart College is a Twin Cities-based provider of college planning, test preparation, and academic tutoring services. The company focuses on one-on-one advising for students across a range of academic goals and offers flexible package options for college planning. Services are available to students and families in the Minneapolis and Saint Paul area as well as through virtual meetings.

The Haunting Experience Announces MEA Weekend Operations for Mid-October

COTTAGE GROVE, MN - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
The Haunting Experience has announced operations during Minnesota Education Association weekend, October 14 through 18, with five consecutive evenings of attractions. The family-owned site is running its full lineup of evening experiences during the mid-October school break period that draws visitors from the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
The weekend schedule extends the attraction’s regular evening hours across multiple nights. Guests can access the Haunted House walkthrough, the Haunted Hayride, and the Massacre cornfield experience. General admission and Fast Pass tickets allow two entries that can be used for any combination of the house and hayride. VIP tickets include the Massacre attraction, which is restricted to guests ages 13 and older because of permitted light physical contact from performers.
The Haunted House features redesigned scenes each season, including sequences set in the remains of an abandoned hospital and other enclosed spaces with live actors and sensory effects. The Haunted Hayride travels a 1.5-mile route through wooded trails and the fictional Wilhelm Steelworks, where performers stage timed encounters. The expanded length was completed earlier in the year and remains in place for the current season.
“The MEA weekend dates give families and groups additional options during a period when many schools are closed,” said Bill Zywiec, Owner of The Haunting Experience. “The attraction has historically adjusted evening availability around regional school calendars while maintaining the same safety guidelines and ticket structure used throughout October.”
Daytime Fall Fun Fest sessions continue on selected dates separate from the evening schedule. Those sessions include art activities, pumpkin painting, free hayrides without actors, lights-on tours of the Haunted House, and goat petting. The dual daytime and evening format allows the property to serve visitors who prefer milder activities as well as those seeking the full evening experience.
The attraction operates rain or shine with covered waiting areas. On-site concessions and a gift shop are available during evening hours. Group rates for parties of 20, 50, and 100 people remain in place for school groups, corporate outings, and family gatherings. The company recommends allowing two to three hours for the full visit, including wait times and concessions.
Safety rules prohibit running and interfering with performers. Parents are advised to consider a child’s comfort level with live actors, strobe lighting, and intense scenes before purchasing tickets. The FAQ on the company website notes that general admission and Fast Pass tickets are recommended for ages 12 and up, with the final decision left to parents.
The Zywiec Family has operated the attraction since 1986 on a working farm property that also houses their landscape and garden center business. Seasonal preparation includes updates to sets and scenes by a crew of builders, artists, and scare actors. The current season marks the 40th year of continuous operation.
The MEA weekend dates sit within the broader October calendar that runs from late September through early November. The attraction has previously noted that Fridays and Saturdays tend to be busier, while Thursday and Sunday evenings are typically less crowded. The five-night block provides additional midweek and weekend options during the school break.
The release of the MEA weekend schedule follows the earlier publication of the full 2026 season calendar. Evening operations began on September 25, and the mid-October block is one of several concentrated periods of operation listed for the month.


The Haunting Experience is a family-owned haunted attraction established in 1986 by the Zywiec Family. It features a Haunted House, Minnesota’s longest-running Haunted Hayride, the Massacre cornfield experience, and daytime Fall Fun Fest activities. The site serves visitors from the Twin Cities metropolitan area with seasonal Halloween entertainment on a working farm property.

Timberline Roofing & Contracting Outlines What a Roof Replacement Includes

WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Timberline Roofing & Contracting has published guidance detailing the components typically included in a residential roof replacement. The locally owned company, which specializes in storm damage restoration and premium roofing solutions, released the information to help homeowners understand the scope of work involved in a full tear-off and installation.
A typical roof replacement begins with complete removal and disposal of existing materials. The company notes that full tear-off is determined during inspection based on roof condition and the number of existing layers. After removal, the roof deck is inspected for soft spots, moisture damage, or compromised plywood or OSB. Any deck repairs identified at that stage are addressed before new materials are installed.
Underlayment installation follows, with peel-and-stick leak barrier applied at eaves, valleys, and around chimneys, and mechanically attached underlayment used elsewhere. Ice and water protection, drip edge along roof edges, and flashing around chimneys, vent pipes, and dormers are standard elements. Starter shingles, new shingles or metal panels, ridge caps, and ventilation components are then installed. Roofing nails or screws are placed in specified patterns. The process concludes with full site cleanup, including debris removal, nail sweep, and dumpster disposal.
Gordy Kaufmann, owner of Timberline Roofing & Contracting, stated, "A roof replacement involves more than placing new shingles on top. Proper underlayment, ice and water protection, and deck inspection address the conditions Minnesota roofs face from freeze-thaw cycles and precipitation."
Materials commonly included in a roof replacement estimate are shingles or metal panels, underlayment, drip edge, fasteners, flashings, and ridge caps. The company indicates that items such as deck repair, gutter work, ventilation upgrades, or skylight replacement are not always standard and may be identified after tear-off when underlying conditions become visible. Attic ventilation is noted as important for long-term performance; manufacturers, including GAF, require balanced intake and exhaust for certain enhanced warranties.
Minnesota weather influences material and system choices. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles increase the value of ice and water protection. Metal roofing options are referenced for durability against hail and snow loads. The company states that roof replacements in the Twin Cities area typically take one to several days depending on roof size, weather, and any repairs discovered during the project. On-site project management is used to coordinate the sequence of work.
Colin Beckman, Sales Manager at Timberline, added, "Homeowners benefit from understanding which elements are included in a standard replacement and which may appear as extras once the old roof is removed. Clear expectations around deck condition and ventilation help projects proceed without surprises."
Timberline Roofing & Contracting holds GAF Master Elite certification, a designation held by a limited percentage of roofing contractors that requires ongoing training and adherence to manufacturer standards. The company offers assistance with insurance claims documentation when storm damage is involved and provides flexible financing options and warranties on qualifying work. Complementary services include siding installation, energy-efficient window replacements, gutter systems, and decking using wood, composite, or PVC materials.
The guidance is drawn from the company's experience with residential and multi-family properties since 1998. Timberline Roofing & Contracting contributes a portion of profits to Habitat for Humanity as part of its community involvement.
Timberline Roofing & Contracting is a locally owned and operated company founded in 1998, specializing in storm damage restoration and premium roofing solutions for residential and multi-family properties in the Twin Cities area and beyond.

Warner's Outdoor Solutions Highlights Late-Season Fall Yard Cleanup for Winter Preparation

WOODBURY, MN - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Warner's Outdoor Solutions is highlighting the role of continued fall yard cleanup work as the season moves into October and November. With leaf drop ongoing and the first hard freezes approaching, the company notes that repeated cleanups help clear material that can remain on turf and in landscape beds through the winter months.
The company's fall clean-up services include pruning dead foliage from perennials, blowing debris from landscape areas, and mowing and bagging leaves. The firm recommends performing a fall clean-up at least once a month from September through November, followed by a final cleaning before snow begins. These steps prepare lawns for Minnesota winter conditions by removing accumulated plant material and reducing the amount of debris left on the surface when growth slows.
Leaving leaves and debris in place can hold moisture against the turf and limit air and light reaching the grass as it enters dormancy. The company states that mowing the lawn to a lower height just before winter helps it come in thicker and healthier the following spring. Pruning dead foliage from perennials allows those plants to emerge properly the next season. Clearing gutters of debris and leaves is also noted as a way to reduce potential blockages during freeze-thaw cycles.
Ryan Warner, President of Warner's Outdoor Solutions, stated, "October and November are important months for fall cleanup because the leaves aren’t done falling. Making a final pass before snow arrives helps reduce the amount of material that stays on the lawn throughout the winter."
He added, "Removing that material and cutting the lawn lower supports the transition into dormancy and reduces the chance that moisture and debris stay trapped against the turf."
Fall cleanup is commonly coordinated with other late-season lawn services. Late-fall fertilizer applications encourage the grass to take in nutrients and store them in the root system before dormancy begins. When the snow melts the following spring, those nutrients are already in place for earlier green-up. Fall aeration can still be performed while soil conditions allow, opening the turf for better air and water movement and creating contact points for overseeding. The company's lawn care program lists overseeding, fertilization, and leaf removal as the core fall steps that prepare the lawn for winter dormancy.
Irrigation systems also receive attention during this period. Sprinkler winterization, typically scheduled from October into early November, uses an air compressor to remove standing water from the lines so that freeze-thaw cycles do not damage components. The company notes that improper shutdown can lead to repairs or replacement before the next start-up. These irrigation steps run alongside yard cleanup and help protect the full outdoor system as temperatures drop.
Residential and commercial properties both schedule these services. One-time cleanup visits are available, and the work can be combined with ongoing fertilization, aeration, or irrigation programs. The final pre-snow cleaning is presented as the last opportunity to clear the surface before winter weather limits access.
Warner's Outdoor Solutions has provided lawn care, landscaping, and seasonal maintenance services in the Twin Cities metro area for more than 25 years. The company is based in Woodbury, Minnesota, and serves residential and commercial clients across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and surrounding communities. Its fall program continues through the final weeks before snow cover arrives, focusing on preparing landscapes for the winter months ahead while ensuring clients' outdoor spaces remain well-maintained and healthy.
