Riverside Seeks New Christmas Tree After Vandalism
Riverside residents wake to a replacement seedling evergreen set north of the old stump after the town’s Christmas tree was felled in a dark act weeks earlier. Officials doubt replanting at the former site due to roadway changes linked to the planned highway 518 project. Meanwhile US September trade posted a record surplus of 873 million dollars, with exports at 6.45 billion and imports at 5.57 billion, aided by aircraft sales and a dock strike distortion.

Iowa AG reverses on felon gun permit ruling
The Iowa Attorney General revokes a prior opinion allowing felons with governor restored rights to possess firearms. The new view holds the federal 1968 Gun Control Act bans felon possession regardless of restored state rights. A governor full pardon could enable possession, while felons may seek ATF relief from disabilities.
