NET Health continues investigation

By Zak Wellerman

ZWELLERMAN@MARSHALLNEWSMESSENGER.COM

NET Health, the Northeast Texas Public Health District, recently announced that it is continuing to look for the source of exposure to Legionnaires’ disease at this year’s East Texas State Fair.

Tests showed that appropriate chlorine levels were present in the water samples obtained so far from

water sources at the fairgrounds.

The city-owned Harvey Convention Center has been eliminated as the source, according to a statement released by the city.

“NET Health and state officials tested the water sources at Harvey Hall, as the disease is spread through water particles,” according to the statement.

“Public health officials confirmed the facility came

back negative for any conditions that would allow for Legionnaires’ disease to be present.”

A statement from NET Health released Friday said it will provide information updates on its social media (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) and its website, myNETHealth.org.

So far, seven people in East Texas have been diagnosed with the disease, and hospitals in the area have

identified five others with symptoms, George Roberts, NET Health CEO, said Thursday morning.

Legionnaires’ disease is spread when a person inhales water droplets containing the Legionella bacteria. A person with the disease cannot transmit it to others, according to NET Health.

NET Health is emphasizing that attending the fair does not mean a person will

likely develop the disease.

Roberts said state health investigators have determined that all who are sick attended the East Texas State Fair that took place Sept. 20-29 in Tyler. If exposed to the disease, attendees already would have exhibited symptoms, he said.

The health district is urging anyone who attended the fair this year and has symptoms to contact their health care provider imme-

diately.

Legionnaires’ disease mimics pneumonia. Symptoms include fever and difficulty breathing. A test determines whether a sick person has been infected by the Legionella bacteria, Roberts said.

Northeast Texas residents who have questions about Legionnaires’ disease can call the Disease Surveillance Division at NET Health at 903-595-1350.

Former President George W. Bush, seen in 2017, is set to appear in December in Longview as part of a new regional speaker series.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

LONGVIEW – A full house is expected at Longview’s Belcher Center for the kickoff event of a new speaker series for East Texas, organizers said Friday.

Billed as “An Evening with President George W. Bush,” the Dec. 3 launch of the regionally led effort still has seats available but they’re going fast.

“Just a few hundred of the nearly 2,000 seats remain for those who want to hear President Bush in Longview” said Cynthia Hellen, a founding board member of the East Texas Speakers Forum, which is being formed to See BUSH, Page 5A

Designer Zac Posen and model Naomi Campbell greet the crowd, Feb. 16, 2015, after his Fall 2015 collection is modeled during Fashion Week, in New York. Posen is shutting down his namesake label.

Posen, 39, said he was “deeply saddened that the journey of nearly 20 years has come to an end.” He launched his label in 2001.

Zac Posen shuts down fashion label NEW YORK (AP) — Designer Zac Posen is shutting down his namesake label.

Posen has been a red carpet favorite for close to two decades, known for glamorous, body-hugging gowns, often with long trains or big, flamboyant ruffles, for stars like Katie Holmes and Rihanna.

An announcement from the label’s owners, House of Z and Z Spoke, noted late Friday that the company could no longer continue operations. It had been in a sale process.

Posen, 39, was considered a wunderkind of New York fashion when he launched his label in 2001.

He also serves as creative director for the Brooks Brothers women’s collection.

“The management team ... worked extremely hard to navigate the increasingly challenging fashion and retail landscape,” he said in a statement Friday.

“We are disappointed that these efforts have not been successful and deeply saddened that the journey of nearly 20 years has come to an end. I am grateful to the team who lent their incomparable talent and commitment along the way. I remain incredibly proud of what we created and hopeful for the future.”

Among Posen’s many prominent designs was a mermaid-like gown for Gwyneth Paltrow at the Oscars in 2007, an offthe-shoulder gown with brightly sequined skirt for Oprah Winfrey at the Oscars in 2011, and a fitted pink satin gown for Rihanna at the Diamond Ball in 2014.

He swathed actress Claire Danes in pastel blue organza at the 2016 Met Gala, with a twist: her Cinderella-inspired dress was made with fiber optics, and it lit up in the dark.

Katie Holmes was a frequent client, and his swirling purple, one-shouldered gown for her at this year’s Met Gala included cutting-edge 3D-printed elements.

Posen also designed Princess Eugenie’s filmy, blush-toned wedding reception gown for her 2018 nuptials.

And in 2015, Michelle Obama wore a shiny silver-gray belted Posen dress to the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.

Posen was raised in New York, where at 16 he attended Parson’s School of Design and then the Central Saint Martins University in London.

In 2004, he was awarded The Perry Ellis Award for Womenswear by the CFDA, or Council of Fashion Designers of America.

Posen has also served as a judge on TV’s “Project Runway.” And in 2017, he was the subject of a documentary , “House of Z,” which explored some of the ups and downs he had already experienced in

his career.

“I want people to follow their creative passion,” he told The Associated Press in an interview at the time. “I believe that creativity is an important human experience and element, in the same way as sleeping, eating, having sex. I also want people to realize what it takes to build anything, that there’s sacrifice, there’s struggle, and it’s important to be resilient.”

‘The Irishman’ ‘deserved better’ NEW YORK (AP) — Martin Scorsese’s crime epic “The Irishman” landed in theaters Friday, but not nearly enough of them for theater owners.

John Fithian, president and chief executive of National Association of Theater Owners on Friday lamented Netflix’s rollout of one of the year’s most acclaimed films, from one of cinema’s top filmmakers.

“Martin Scorsese deserved better,” Fithian said in a statement.

Netflix was unable to come to terms with the largest movie theater chains on “The Irishman.”

The traditional theatrical window is 90 days, something Netflix has declined to follow.

That has left Netflix films essentially boycotted by the majority of multiplexes. Netflix has instead carved out a roughly three-week exclusive run in independent theaters.

“The point of an exclusive theatrical window is for movies to reach their full commercial potential. Netflix chose to artificially limit ‘The Irishman’s’ theatrical release,” Fithian said. “That sends a message to filmmakers who are not Martin Scorsese. If you want a full theatrical release, take your film to their competitors.”

Scorsese has praised Netflix for its willingness to bankroll the $159 million film — the only company will to do so, he said.

“We decided to make it with the understanding that it’ll maybe never be shown in theaters. They said, ‘You would have a time in theaters’ — a few weeks or whatever. I said fine. The idea was to make the movie, you see,” he told The Associated Press in June.

Netflix and theater chains, including AMC and Cineplex, negotiated extensively earlier this year on a compromise but ultimately failed to reach agreement.

Netflix declined comment Friday evening. A company executive who spoke to The New York Times about its “Irishman” strategy said the company cares about box office, but also wants viewers to watch films the way they want.

“The Irishman” is opening this weekend on eight screens in New York and Los Angeles, including Broadway’s Belasco Theatre. It begins streaming on Nov. 27.

Sunday’s Headlines

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — The two bodies found buried at a South Texas beach have been identified as a missing New Hampshire couple, investigators announced Friday.

The deaths of James Butler, 48, and Michelle Butler, 46, are being investigated as homicides, the Kleberg County Sheriff’s Office in Texas said in a release.

“At present law enforcement officers are working on the investigation and are working on identification of persons of interest and attempting to find the whereabouts of the victims’ truck and RV trailer,” the release stated.

HOUSTON (AP) — As Houston’s mayor seeks a second term, he’s hoping to use residents’ antipathy toward President Donald Trump to help him beat his biggest challenger.

Crimes rates, allegations of City Hall corruption and the pace of the city’s recovery after Hurricane Harvey are among the issues that have come up in the race. But with Mayor Sylvester Turner likely headed toward a runoff against Trump donor and political outsider Tony Buzbee, he’s increasingly highlighted Buzbee’s ties to a president who remains deeply unpopular in the mostly Democratic city.

“I think it’s a very effective strategy because likening Mr. Buzbee to President Trump is easy for voters to understand,” said Renee Cross, the senior director of the Hobby School of Public Affairs at the University of Houston.

LEAVENWORTH, Wash.

(AP) — Authorities say a Texas man died in a climbing fall in Washington state’s Cascade Mountains.

Chelan County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Rich Magnussen says 60-year-old Robert Colburn’s son reported Thursday night that Colburn had not returned to camp after climbing Aasgard Pass southwest of Leavenworth.

Colburn was last seen around 3 p.m. Thursday as he was descending Aasgard.

Several state agencies conduct an investigation in October on a Padre Island beach in Kleberg County after human remains were found. Investigators say two bodies found buried at the South Texas beach have been identified as a missing New Hampshire couple. The Kleberg County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday that the deaths of 48-year-old James Butler and 46-year-old Michelle Butler are being investigated as homicides. from the plant located in the desert west of Phoenix to separate water into oxygen and hydrogen gas, the Arizona Republic reports .

Uses for the gas could include powering fuel-cell cars and trucks or providing to nearby natural-gas plants that generate electricity.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A federal judge in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday put on hold a Trump administration rule requiring immigrants prove they will have health insurance or can pay for medical care before they can get visas.

U.S. District Judge Michael Simon granted a preliminary injunction that prevents the rule from going into effect Sunday. It’s not clear when he will rule on the merits of the case.

Seven U.S. citizens and a nonprofit organization filed the federal lawsuit Wednesday contending the rule would block nearly two-thirds of all prospective legal immigrants.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif.

(AP) — Authorities in Central California have seized and destroyed about 100 million plants they said were being grown as legal hemp but contained THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.

The Kern County Sheriff’s office said it served search warrants at several fields totaling 459 acres in the Arvin area on Oct. 25 as part of a joint investigation with the FBI and California Department of Fish and Wildfire.

The office said samples of the plants tested “well above” the federal limit of 0.3 percent of THC for industrial hemp.

Airbnb Inc. says it’s banning “party houses” in the

wake of a deadly shooting at an Airbnb rental in California.

In a series of tweets Saturday, Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky said that the San Francisco-based company is stepping up efforts to “combat unauthorized parties and get rid of abusive host and guest conduct.”

“We must do better, and we will. This is unacceptable,” Chesky said.

Airbnb has always banned unauthorized parties, but it plans to increase enforcement of that policy. Chesky said Airbnb will expand manual screening of “high risk” reservations that are flagged by its system. Reservations for one night at a large house, for example, might get extra scrutiny.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — His revolutionary fervor diminished by the years that have also turned his dark brown hair white, one of the Iranian student leaders of the 1979 U.S. Embassy takeover says he now regrets the seizure of the diplomatic compound and the 444-day hostage crisis that followed.

Speaking to The Associated Press ahead of Monday’s 40th anniversary of the attack, Ebrahim Asgharzadeh acknowledged that the repercussions of the crisis still reverberate as tensions remain high between the U.S. and Iran over Tehran’s collapsing nuclear deal with world powers.

Asgharzadeh cautioned others against following in his footsteps, despite the takeover becoming enshrined in hard-line mythology. He also

disputed a revisionist history now being offered by supporters of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard that they directed the attack, insisting all the blame rested with the Islamist students who let the crisis spin out of control.

LONDON (AP) — Heavy winds are battering parts of England and the stormy weather has forced the suspension of ferry service between the major ports of Dover and Calais, France.

Police reported one fatality when a woman in her 60s died after a tree fell on her car in Dorset, 120 miles (193 kilometers) southwest of London. The woman has not been identified.

Britain’s Met Office forecasting service Saturday issued a number of rain and wind warnings across the south of England and Wales and warned of heavy rain in northern Scotland.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Illegal loggers ambushed a group of indigenous forest guards in Brazil’s Amazon, killing one and injuring another, authorities said Saturday.

A logger also died in the attack Friday night in Maranhao, a northeastern state, according to FUNAI, a state agency that represents indigenous interests.

Paulo Paulino Guajajara, who died after being shot in the face, was a leader in a group seeking to protect the Arariboia indigenous reserve from incursions.

Federal police will investigate Guajajara’s killing in order to “bring those responsible for this crime to justice,” said Sergio Moro, the justice and public security minister.

“Calling all sandwich lovers,” the email said.

“Some prefer it grilled, others fancy the original.

No matter which Chickfil-A sandwich you love, order yours on November 3 for National Sandwich Day.” Nov. 3, though, is a Sunday this year.

Another email followed Thursday with the subject, “Well ... this is awkward.”

The company says it was excited about National Sandwich Day and didn’t realize it falls on Sunday.

Chick-fil-A spokeswoman Bekki Poelker says the whole situation was just an inadvertent mistake.

Everyone should make time to vote

Can Democrats compete with Trump’s Twitter feed?

THE AMARILLO GLOBE NEWS

“Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt Election Day is Tuesday, and Texans will go to the polls to decide the fate of 10 constitutional amendments that have been entrusted to the voting public as a result of state lawmaker action during the 2019 legislative session.

As always, we encourage people to take two actions: learn as much as possible about each amendment and participate in the democracy by exercising your right to vote.

The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

An overview of the propositions and the ballot language, which we published previously, follows below.

A closer look at each proposition on the ballot: Proposition 1: Would allow elected municipal court judges to serve multiple municipalities at the same time.

Proposition 2: Would permit the Texas Water Development Board to issue bonds for projects in areas where median household income was below statewide threshold.

Proposition 3: Would permit legislature to allow temporary property tax exemptions for those impacted in governor-declared disaster areas.

Proposition 4: Would make it more difficult for legislature to enact a personal income tax, requiring a two-thirds majority in the House and Senate and then a majority at the polls. This one deserves a little additional explanation and context.

Texas is one of only nine states without a state income tax, and the Texas constitution already requires a majority of lawmakers and a majority of voters to implement a state income tax. The language is confusing so keep in mind that “yes” means you are voting to make it more difficult to create a state income tax and “no” means you prefer the law as it is.

Proposition 5: Would designate all revenue from sporting goods sales tax toward state parks and wildlife department and historic commission.

Proposition 6: Would grant legislature permission to double maximum amount of bonds (to $6 million) it can issue on behalf of Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. It’s worth remembering the state’s commitment to CPRIT has made Texas second in terms of publicly funded cancer research, trailing only the National Cancer Institute.

Proposition 7: Would permit handful of state entities to double revenue they can provide to the Available School Fund that provides materials and funding for Texas schools.

Proposition 8: Would create mechanism for Texas Water Development Board to finance projects in aftermath of disaster.

Proposition 9: Would allow Legislature to grant property tax exemption for precious metals held in state facilities.

Proposition 10: Would allow former handlers and others to adopt retired law enforcement animals without a fee. Typically, police dogs live with their handlers while in service, and this amendment would allow them to retire with them. Current state law prohibits the transfer of public property for private purposes.

Elections represent the voice and will of the people. Every vote matters, so this Tuesday take time to make sure your voice is heard.

By Charlie warzel NEW YORK TIMES

A long time ago, on a different internet — where Photoshopped images of “God Emperor” Donald Trump riding atop a velociraptor were just a faint glimmer in a young meme lord’s eye — the Republicans were in trouble. Barack Obama’s 2008 win over John McCain was heralded as a digital over an analog. In 2012, Mitt Romney’s technological secret weapon to track voters in real time crashed on Election Day. A 2012 profile of Mr. Obama’s digital team in The Atlantic exclaimed that the “nerds shook up an ossifying Democratic tech structure.” By 2014, the conventional wisdom was that progressives had lapped the Republican Party in the tech space. I heard rumors swirling that some of the Republican National Committee staff were scouring Silicon Valley churches for tech-company hoodies, looking for programmers to hire.

Two years later, the narrative flipped completely. Donald Trump’s 2016 victory was quickly cast as a digital triumph. The campaign successfully harnessed its candidate’s divisive, populist rhetoric to plaster Facebook with ads. The ads worked, in large part because of their incendiary messages.

Mr. Trump’s grass-roots support online came from a legion of posters, message board communities and Twitter pundits who flooded the internet with memes, toxic trolling and hyperpartisan pages glorifying the candidate and vilifying his opponents.

Democrats were flummoxed.

The Trump wing of the Republican Party appeared to have a structural advantage in online politics — and there was no clear lane in sight for a wonky, hopeful, progressive message. And for the past three years, as Donald Trump has governed by Twitter, Democrats have watched and winced. An unspoken question hangs over the looming presidential election: On an internet built to favor controversy, can Democrats (or anyone less controversial than Mr. Trump) win online in 2020?

If so, a successful challenger will need time, technology, money and inexhaustible shamelessness. As of today, time is running out, money has barely been spent, and one side has a near monopoly on the ability to operate without decorum or scruples.

The Trump campaign already has a healthy head start building up its microtargeting and fund-raising technology. In the digital ad-spend arms race on Facebook and Google, Mr. Trump’s campaign has spent more than the top three Democratic candidates combined to identify and turn out supporters in key states and counties. Arguably more important is the data acquisition play. The Trump campaign is building tools to take advantage of information like mobile location data to learn intensely personal details about potential voters and then hit them with explicitly tailored messages that fire them up.

“Trump has a time advantage we can’t erase,” Shomik Dutta, an Obama campaign vet and the chief executive of Higher Ground Labs, told me recently. “We have to change that by fixing the innovation cycle in progressive politics.”

Mr. Dutta and his Higher Ground partner, Betsy Hoover, project an anxious optimism about their technology’s role next year. Ms. Hoover admits that “technology itself is not a strategy or a culture; it’s a tool that sits on top of those things.” And Mr. Dutta, who throws around startup-y business jargon like “loss aversion,” “churn rate” and “dig-

WASHINGTON – Demography does not dictate any nation’s destiny, but it shapes every nation’s trajectory, so attention must be paid to Nicholas Eberstadt. He knows things that should occasion some American worries, but also knows more important things that should assuage some worries regarding Russia and China.

Writing in the July/ August issue of Foreign COLUMNIST Affairs (“With Great Demographics Comes Great Power”), Eberstadt, of the American Enterprise Institute, warns of “negative demographic trends now eating away at the foundations of U.S. power.” America is the third-most populous nation, and between 1990 and 2015 generated almost all the population growth of what the U.N. calls the more developed regions.

From 1950 to 2015, it acquired almost 50 million immigrants – “nearly half the developed world’s net immigration.”

Between the mid-1980s and the 2008 financial crisis, America was “the only rich country with replacement level fertility” (2.1 children per woman).

So, by 2040, when the U.S. population is around 380 million, its population will be younger than that of almost any other rich democracy, and the working-age population will still be expanding. In 2015, America had twice as many working-age people with undergraduate or graduate degrees as China had – almost one-sixth of the world’s total.

After the 2008 financial crisis, however, the fertility rate fell and, Eberstadt says, “shows no sign of recovering.”

Furthermore, the employment rate for men ages 25-54 is comparable to its level in 1939 – during the Depression. And America’s “traditional allies face even more daunting demographic challenges,” with the European Union and Japan having had sub-replacement fertility rates since the 1970s. Demographers say “a woman born in Japan in 1990 has close to a 40% chance of having no children of her own and a 50 percent chance of never having grandchildren.”

America can seek new friends and allies: By 2040, the populations of Indonesia and the Philippines could be 300 million and 140 million (by then larger than Russia’s), respectively. Russia’s and China’s problems are more intractable.

Vladimir Putin is a strongman ruling a shriveling country. Regarding population and human capital, Russia seems to be, Eberstadt says, in “all but irremediable decline.” In 2016, males 15 years old had a life expectancy shorter than their Haitian counterparts, and 15-year-old females’ life expectancy was only slightly better than those in the least developed countries. With a population of 145 million, Russia has less privately held wealth than do the 10 million Swedes.

Much more important is what Eberstadt calls China’s “collapse in fertility.” Although China’s working-age population (there, 15-64) almost doubled between 1975 and 2010, fertility has been below the replacement level for at least 25 years. China’s population will shrink after 2027; its working-age population has been shrinking for five years and will be at least 100 million smaller by 2040, when the adult population “will have fewer average years of schooling than that of Bolivia and Zimbabwe.” By then, China might have twice as many elderly as children under 15. The number of elderly will have increased from 135 million to 325 million in 25 years, with the nation’s median age having gone from less than 25 in 1990 to 48. “No country,” says Eberstadt, “has ever gone gray at a faster pace.”

Furthermore, there will be “tens of millions of surplus men” in China because during the “one-child” policy (1979-2015), many parents chose abortion rather than the birth of a girl.

Traditional family structures are evaporating as a rising generation of urban youth consists of “only children of only children.”

ital exhaust,” is honest about Democrats’ deficiencies — most notably their inability to compete on digital ads.

“If the chief marketing officer for a Fortune 100 company spent less than 15 percent of their ad budget on digital, they’d be fired for incompetence,” he told me. “Democratic campaigns in the aggregate are all spending less than 15 percent on digital right now, and that is political and professional malpractice.”

Higher Ground Labs, essentially an incubator for 36 campaign technology companies, aims to do just that, by building tools that the Democratic nominee can use to raise money, conduct modern polling, organize field operations and pump out the candidate’s message. One of its companies called Deck uses survey data to build machine-learning models of possible supporters. Mr. Dutta suggests that it will predict how voters will respond to a given policy or message and then provide real-time suggestions of how to change minds. “It has the brutal honesty of a robot,” Mr. Dutta said.

“It’s been tough on some candidates because it will literally say, ‘Sorry, you have a zero percent chance of winning.’”

Purchased advertising is just one part of the 2020 information war. The organic side — real, dedicated supporters spreading messages online — is also a problem for Democrats. Though a few candidates have amassed vibrant online supporters (#YangGang, Bernie Bros), there are concerns that progressive messages, especially from wonkier candidates, like Senator Elizabeth Warren, will be able find attention online against policy-light, image-heavy Trump memes.

Misha Leybovich, an M.I.T. engineer and start-up guy, wants to change that. His vision starts with an eight-page emoji-laden Google document titled, “Warren’s Meme Team Plan: Saving the Nation With Selfies and Memes.” “The right understands the importance of memes: They approach it like war,” he writes.

“We can’t let this be an asymmetric battle,” he adds. “We fight back, in a way that’s authentic to our values.”

Mr. Leybovich’s plan involves creating a “distributed network of thousands of hands and brains” to spread Ms. Warren’s message across platforms. “One thing I think Trump did really well was crowdsourcing the creativity,” he told me. “If you look at the popular memes, it’s not the stuff his campaign makes. They just amplify it, even if it’s toxic.” His idea is to amass content creators and arm them with templates that work across platforms (images for memes but also filters for platforms like Snapchat and TikTok). “If you give people an easy way to have a good time making things themselves, you can get them to organically spread that message.”

Mr. Leybovich, who says he has spoken to the Warren campaign about memes and also applied for its deputy chief technology officer position, is optimistic that the right infrastructure and coordination can make Warren plans like a wealth tax and universal child care into base-rallying content.

There’s some thin precedent for this. Mr. Leybovich cited the tens of thousands of selfies Senator Warren takes with supporters at rallies as an indicator that the campaign has learned to tap into and energize its supporters’ enthusiasm online. The selfies are a natural fit, but there’s also something inherently cringe-y about an organized campaign to spark and capture the millennial and Gen Z meme magic. That tends to work only organically.

Crews make progress on large Southern California wildfire An revoir LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities lifted evacuation orders for a farm community Saturday as firefighters make progress on a large wildfire in Southern California that continues to threaten about 2,500 homes and buildings.

Ventura County officials allowed an unknown number of residents in Somis to return home Saturday morning after firefighters contained 20% of the Maria Fire, which has burned nearly 15 square miles (38 square kilometers) and forced nearly 11,000 people to evacuate.

While fire activity subsided overnight, winds and skin-cracking low humidity were expected to enter their fourth day Saturday and make another difficult day for firefighters. Moreover, an unexpected area of clouds moved in from the south, threatening to bring lightning strikes and wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph (48 kph) over the region, the National Weather Service said.

Police in Santa Monica urged beachgoers to seek shelter indoors after lightning was reported over the city.

Crews battled to keep the flames away from orchards and farms in the rural area.

Three buildings were destroyed.

The fire erupted on a hilltop northwest of Los Angeles on Thursday during what had been expected to be the tail end of gusty Santa Ana winds.

The cause was under investigation but there was a troubling possibility that an

According to Ventura County Fire Department, the blaze has scorched more than 8,000 acres and destroyed at least two structures. electrical line might have been involved — as such lines have been at other recent fires.

Southern California Edison said Friday that it re-energized a 16,000-volt power line 13 minutes before the fire erupted in the same area.

Edison and other utilities up and down the state shut off power to hundreds of thousands of people this week out of concerns that high winds could cause power lines to spark and start

fires.

SCE will cooperate with investigators, the utility said.

In Northern California, more people were allowed to return to areas evacuated due to the huge Kincade Fire burning for days in the Sonoma County wine country.

The 121-square-mile (313-square-kilometer) fire was 72% contained, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.

The tally of destroyed

homes reached 175 and there were 35 more damaged, Cal Fire said. Many other structures also burned.

Historic, dry winds prompted the state’s largest utility, Pacific Gas & Electric Co., to initiate four rounds of widespread pre-emptive shut-offs in Northern California this month to prevent wildfires.

But the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District pegged the utility’s equipment as the cause

of three smaller fires that cropped up Oct. 27 in the San Francisco Bay Area suburbs of Martinez and Lafayette.

And while the cause of the Kincade Fire hasn’t been determined, PG&E reported a problem with a transmission tower near the spot where the fire started.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Au revoir to daylight saving time, but not goodbye.

At 2 a.m. local time Sunday, standard time returns across most of the United States, accompanied by the welcome one-night extra hour of sleep.

With the time shift, it’ll be lighter earlier in the morning and darker earlier in the evening.

Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and most of Arizona don’t observe daylight saving time. No need to change clocks in those places.

Daylight saving time returns at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, March 8.

According to a poll by The Associated PressNORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 7 in 10 Americans prefer not to switch back-andforth, but there’s no agreement on which time clocks ought to follow.

Optimists met with guest Jim Sanders SPECIAL TO THE NEWS MESSENGER

The Noon Optimist Club of Marshall met for a time of food and fellowship at Gucci’s at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 29. That gathering was followed the next day by an informal lunch at Applebee’s with Optimist Jim Sanders, 2020-2019 Governor-Elect of the North Texas District. It was a time for dialogue about shared concerns, news of other clubs, and strategies for growth and service.

Optimist Jim shared a bit of his personal history. He is a long time member starting with a club in South Texas. Later, he joined the club in Burleson (south of Ft. Worth) and was active there for many years. When he moved to an area of Johnson County near Crowley, he looked for a club in which to serve and found none. He was counseled by the district that he could either start a new one or see if the one in Burleson might want to relocate. The latter option came to the fore and the relocated club decided to meet in Crowley, but it took the name Chisholm Trail Optimist Club because it would draw its membership from Johnson and two neighboring counties.

Last fall, Optimists Diane and Al Clark visited with the club and expressed the North Texas District’s commitment to us “as the only club left in East Texas.”

That memory prompted Optimist Charles Dixon’s question of Jim, “Where is our nearest neighboring club?” He reported that there is one in Henderson meeting on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. It primarily concentrates on sponsoring athletic teams as a way of “bringing out the best in kids.”

Optimist Richard Magrill asked if clubs that met only twice a month had larger attendance than those meeting weekly? Sanders replied he did not believe that to be the case. In fact, he informed us that our size club was the norm and that on occasion the Chisholm Trail Club experienced attendance lower than ours.

(They range from two to fifteen; we range from five to fifteen.) He did mention one of the metroplex area clubs that had a large regular attendance and met weekly at 6:30 a.m. Optimist Magrill said, “I could go for that meeting time!” But, Optimists Le Ila Dixon and Michele Fuller both nixed the idea of an early meeting time. As President Le Ila expressed it, “We were organized as the Noon Optimist Club of Marshall for a reason!”

Sanders shared that Chisholm Trail sponsors a JOI (Junior Optimists International) Club for youth and have found it to be a source for new members as parents of the kids join the adult club (at least for the period their kids are involved). Their JOI Club has around thirty members and engages in various service activities. One in particular is reading to kids in the daycare program on their school campus. “Kids helping kids,” he said, “that’s what its all about.”

President Le Ila shared our work with MISD Seniors (through the monthly Young Texans/Texannes program and the annual Student Mock Interview Learning Experience “SMILE”) and with elementary students through the Triple M Backpack Program which meets food needs over weekends. She said we were wanting to reach out to the Marshall

Junior High for a way to serve kids there. “Maybe a JOI Club would be a good way to engage there.”

“But,” she went on to emphasize, “we first want to hear from school administrators about needs they see with which we could help.”

We also shared some of the plans for our upcoming birthday party for kids in foster care in Harrison County. Sanders indicated that the Chisholm Trail club provides bags containing a do-it-yourself kit of birthday supplies for foster kids/parents.

Optimist Richard gave Sanders a brochure with pictures and personal comments from our eighteen Young Texan/Texanne MISD seniors for the 20182019 school year and President Le Ila noted that six of them received $500 grants at the Awards Assembly last May. Governor-Elect Sanders complimented our club on its work: “You’re very active!” Richard also shared with him recent articles from the Marshall News Messenger about our club. He was very complimentary. Somewhat ruefully, he said, “You are lucky to have a newspaper (Chisholm Trail does not!) and especially one which welcomes news about community organizations and their work.” To which, we all said, “Amen!”

Sanders encouraged us to attend district meetings and we explored the possibilities of having one in the East Texas area.

When we parted the rain that had washed over our feet on arrival was reduced to only a sprinkle but our enthusiasm for the work of Optimists was at full flood and we look forward to our Young Texans/Texannes next week and the future party for foster kids.

She noticed that the reused plastic bags were not very durable. Some of the customers that come to the food pantry come by bicycle or walk. These people, in particular, kept having the plastic bags tear and their food would fall out.

Maya collected feed sacks from dog food, cat food, horse feed, bird feed, and chicken feed. She cut and sewed the bags to make durable tote bags.

Now the customers at Mission Marshall will be able to get their groceries home without the bags tearing.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS MESSENGER

The Marshall Lions Club met at noon on Tuesday, Oct. 29 at the Panola-Harrison meeting room.

A luncheon of smoked pork tenderloin was served

by Bear Creek Catering.

Vice-President Robert Wood called the meeting to order and welcomed Lions. Lion Robert asked Lion Kent Reeves to open the meeting with prayer, followed the Pledges of Allegiance to the U.S. and Texas flags led by Lion Bob Swanson. ”My Bonnie” and “America” were sung with gusto, led by song leader Lion Dudley Swofford, accompanied on the piano by Lion Stacy Bowen.

Lion Tamer Patrick Owens welcomed all to the meeting. Guests included Nancy Young, spouse of Lion Tim Young; PDG Nancy Van Alstine; and Katie and Shana McCann, granddaughter and daughter of Lions Brenda and Robert Wood. Lion Patrick read a fun fact from his phone: the first pacemaker had a battery so heavy it had to be carried around in a box on a cart! We’ve come a long way. The count for the day in the Den is 23. The Thought for the Day is: “One generation plants trees and another gets the shade!”

Tail Twister Chris Horsley levied several fines, one to Lion Paul Martin for being late and asked Lion Patrick Owens why he had a band aid on his elbow – Lion Pat told him he had had a cancer removed. He also pointed to a sticker on his shirt that said “I Voted” and reminded Lions to be sure and exercise that right to vote! Lion Chris also asked Lion Dare Westmoreland about his recent surgery for a deviated septum – Lion Dare replied it was very painful! Lion Chris asked Lion Bob Swanson if Iowa won again, and he said yes. Lion Chris assigned Lion Ken Poindexter to lead the club in our “Happy Song” to Lion Bob Graves on his birthday.

Lion Robert recognized Lions Treasurer Alan Grantham, who gave a re-

He said the club had turned in about $2,100 in ticket sales and reminded Lions if they haven’t turned in their money to do so. He said the silent auction made over $1,100. He also said not all the expenses were in, but it was close.

VP Wood called on Program Chair for October, Lion P. A. Almquist to come to the podium. Lion P. A. explained that last week’s bios really gave her insight into fellow members and that there is still more of the same this week.

She called Lion James Thompson to the front. Lion James was born in Waco, grew up with 5 sister, but his family moved to San Antonio, then Pearland and on to Lovelady, where he met his wife in high school. She was a year behind him, but they both attended and graduated from Sam Houston State University. He and Shay have been married for 36 years and have two kids; a daughter who is an RN and a son who is currently attending Blinn College, with plans to attend A & M. He likes to fish, travel and do yard work, and enjoys basketball. The family attends Immanuel Baptist Church. James joined Marshall Lions Club in June, 1995, and has been president two times. He started his career as a banker doing commercial loans and has been an investment adviser for 26 years.

Next up was Lion Alan Grantham. Lion Alan was born in Greenville, Mississippi, and graduated from Delta State, with a graduate degree from Texas A & M. He met local banker Bushe Morgan, who offered him a job in Marshall at BankOne in the spring of1989. He accepted, saying he’d give it a year or so, see how it goes.

He met a local girl, Natalie Verhalen and they have two daughters; Amanda who lives in Longview and Katherine who works for Neiman Marcus in Dallas. He has worked for Bancorp South for 17 years and now has to travel some. Alan enjoys competition barbecue, plays guitar with the “Monday Night Pickers” and said he played saxophone in high school. Alan joined Marshall Lions in November, 1989, has held several offices and said he has seen lots of changes in the club over the years.

The next Lion to give a bio was Lion Bob Swanson.

He was born and raised in Freemont, Iowa, and revealed he had no television until he was a teenager! He loved baseball as a youth and pitched for his team in the World Series. He played baseball for North Iowa State.

When he got his draft notice for the military, he joined the U. S. Air Force. Upon release, he got a scholarship for East Texas Baptist University, where he got to play baseball again. Bob went to work for

KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) as a District Manager. He explained that he bought a Montgomery Ward catalogue store with his sister. After that venture, he went to work for S.A. Walker in the used car business until he retired.

He says he likes Marshall – it beats snow! Bob joined Marshall Lions in September, 1980, and has held several offices.

The fourth Lion to speak was Lion Stacy Bowen. He explained that he has worked for Downs Funeral Home for four years, moving here from Cleveland. He was born and raised in Cleveland, but attended Shepherd, schools.

Upon graduation, he attended Sam Houston State University, earning his degree in 1987. He worked for a plastics company and Cleveland Glass Company then worked with his father in logging.

His biggest aspiration was to be a Houston Firefighter, but he reported that God had other plans for his life.

Stacy has been in the Funeral Industry for 18 years and is dual licensed as an Embalmer and Funeral Director. He and his wife Kelly have two children, a 29 year old son and a 24 year old daughter. Stacy joined Marshall Lions Club in March, 2017, and currently ably serves as our pianist.

Lion Wood asked Lion James Thompson to close with prayer and adjourned the meeting.

Eating your greens: the basic of cat grass When confronted with the topic of healthy eating, we, as humans, are frequently reminded of the importance of including daily greens in our diets. Does your cat’s diet need the same?

Dr. Lori Teller, a clinical associate professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, discusses the basics of cat grass that every cat owner should know.

“Cat grass isn’t any one type of grass but can be a combination of grasses, such as rye, barley, oat, and wheat,” Teller said. “Cat owners can buy kits at many stores to grow cat grass for their kitties.”

Most owners don’t need to rush to the store to purchase this grass for their pet cat, however, as it is not always necessary to complete their diet.

“Cat grass is not a required part of a cat’s diet if the food

they are eating is well-balanced, but it is something that many cats enjoy,” Teller said.

“Especially for indoor cats, it can be a source of environmental enrichment. In some cases, it may provide some micronutrients, such as vitamins A and D.” The reasons cats seek out such grass are still unclear.

Though veterinarians have yet to come to a consensus on one definitive answer, several theories exist.

“One theory is that cat grass is a source of fiber that can either act as a mild laxative or trigger vomiting,” Teller said.

“When cats lived in the wild, they may have eaten grass to trigger vomiting to rid their stomachs of the non-digestible parts of the prey they ingested. It is also thought that the chlorophyll contained in the grass could serve as a mild pain reliever and help keep

the cat’s breath fresh.”

Teller also advises that owners shouldn’t be nervous about introducing cat grass to their pet’s environment, even if it something their pet hasn’t yet encountered.

“For outdoor cats, homegrown cat grass will be safer than what they may nibble on outside because those plants may have been exposed to chemicals or water contaminated with bacteria that may cause disease,” Teller said.

“While it would not be dangerous to have the cat grass freely available, if a cat seems to eat it voraciously, then it may be worth consulting with a veterinarian to determine if the cat’s diet is meeting all of its nutritional needs.”

Owners residing in multiple-pet households can also be assured that cat grass is likely a safe addition to their home.

“It is not likely that cat

grass would be a problem for other animals in the household,” Teller said. “The bigger concern would be if a cat or other animal confused cat grass with other plants in the home that are potentially toxic. It is important to keep those plants out of reach of any pets.”

Ultimately, the decision to introduce cat grass to a feline friend is up to their owner.

As always, cat owners should consult with their veterinarian if they are concerned about nutritional deficiencies in their cat’s diet.

His pint runneth over: Hefty tip jars Kilgore bartender

By JAMES DRAPER

JDRAPER@MARSHALLNEWSMESSENGER.COM

A tall, draft Bud Light with a shot of Jameson – it’s an order bartender Justin Dykes will never forget, thanks to the $2,000 tip his customer left behind.

“It’s one of those random things that just pops up in the movies. It’s one of those things you see on Facebook that just never happen,” the 35-year-old Chili’s barkeep says, still gobsmacked by the man’s generosity: “He said, ‘Just make sure you pass the good energy forward.’”

It hadn’t been a great day.

Dykes’ spirit was a bit heavy, burdened by worries about making ends meet.

“I was getting a little behind on bills and things,” he said, putting in the hours to make a good life for his kids, a 4-year-old and 10-monthold. “I talked to my mom that day and she said, ‘It’ll be OK, God takes care of things.’”

He went to work that Wednesday, Oct. 16, at Kilgore’s Chili’s franchise where he’s worked just shy of 10 years.

“Toward the end of my shift that day, there was a guy that came in, ordered a beer and a shot.”

The bartender was straightening things up and visiting with his patron, Travis, between filling orders.

Just casual conversation, he says, “Just some random guy from California, you know?

He tipped me $100 on the first ticket – he wrote ‘Unexpected blessing, pay it forward – then started talking to me about things.”

Dykes opened up, giving the man insight into life, his joys and struggles. Travis, probably in his 30s, listened closely as he sipped his beer.

When Travis asked for the second ticket – another draft Bud, another shot of whis-

key – the business traveler put $1,000 on the tip line.

“After he talked to me some more, he changed the $1,000 to $2,000. He was gone the next day. He was already headed back home. Just kind of passing through.”

Yeah, Dykes says, it helps, a lot – a whole lot.

He’s never see anything like it, and the bartender says he’s taking the man’s words to heart.

“Keep giving that good energy to other people,” he said Tuesday. “You never know how it’s going to affect somebody. I probably agree with that.”

NATHAN HAGUE SPORTS EDITOR

World Series was one for history books W

ow, what a crazy World Series we just experienced. It had everything: ups and downs, drama, joyous moments and tragedy.

It reminded me of a mystery murder movie where just as you think you’ve figured out who the killer is, the plotline thickens and changes your mind.

Going into the World Series and knowing the Astros had the best home record in the MLB, I figured there was no way they were going to lose the series opener at home. But they did. Then I figured there was no way they would lost the second game at home and go to Washington down 2-0 in the series. But they did.

At that point, I didn’t think the Astros would get swept but I figured they would take one of the next three games. The first of those three games in D.C. obviously went to the Astros, making me think, ‘OK, they avoided the sweep. The Nationals are going to finish it off in five games. That was obviously not the case as the Astros took the next three games on the road to take a 3-2 lead.

Surely the momentum was on the Astros’ side and they would carry that momentum back home and win the Commissioner’s Trophy in game six. That was an easy assumption to make, but that’s obviously not what happened. The Nationals stole game six and the momentum and for the first time in any of the three major sports that have best-of-seven-game series, the road team had won the first six.

Going into that seventh game, I now had no idea what to think. My gut feeling had been wrong pretty much every time so perhaps I should go against my gut feeling, but I no longer knew what my gut was telling me other than it was hungry. The series had already been full of surprises, so I could easily see the Astros breaking the streak of six straight home wins but at the same time, after seeing the Nationals dominate in game six, it seemed like the momentum was on their side.

Houston took an early 2-0 lead but if there’s one thing we learned from this year’s World Series, it’s that you can’t be too comfortable leading by two runs.

That proved to be the case yet again as the Nationals’ bats got hot and jumped out in top to win game seven.

I was asking myself out loud during that final game why the Astros weren’t putting Gerrit Cole on the mound, but truth is, Cole wasn’t going to score runs for the Astros and Houston’s bats were only able to bring in two runs all game.

You just can’t do that in game seven of the World Series.

Even though I would have rather watched the Texas Rangers make a deep run, I enjoyed watching the MLB postseason a great deal. Also because of the fact that the Rangers didn’t even come close to making the playoffs, I have no room to give a hard time to Astros fans, or fans of any other team for not winning the World Series, but I got to witness some pure baseball at its finest.

As I’ve said before, one of the reasons I chose sports journalism as a career is because I’ve always been able to find fascinating stories from watching games and teams. There was no luck of good stories in this year’s World Series.

It was a feel good story with Anthony Rendon’s return to Houston where he grew up and later attended Rice University in an effort to help the Nationals earn their first World Series title in franchise history. It was also neat seeing Juan Soto have the success he had at such a young age, and homer at two different ages as he turned 21 during the World Series. I can’t help but find it funny that the Nationals won their first World Series without the help of Bryce Harper.

There were several great storylines with the Astros as well, including their already-incredible pitching staff before adding Zack Greinke to the mix in the final minutes before the trade deadline.

Also, it’s hard not to like Jose Altuve who looks like a kid on the field, not just because of his height but his energy and excitement.

At any rate, from a baseball standpoint and not factoring in any rooting interests, I’d say the World Series didn’t let down and was one for the record books.

Marshall’s Hayden Kelehan finds room to run against Whitehouse.

Mavs seek strong finish

F

ollowing Marshall’s 35-8 victory to seal up its third-straight district championship, Mavericks head coach Jake Griedl discussed the win with the Marshall News Messenger.

■ MNM: How much more satisfying did it make the win knowing it helped you seal up the outright district championship?

JG: Yeah it was awesome. These kids deserve it. They’ve worked their tails off. They circled the wagons about six weeks ago and left the chatter that they were hearing outside of that circle and believed in each other, believed in this coaching staff and this program and last night was a loud exclamation point.

■ MNN: How crazy is it that you’ve only got one game left in the regular season?

JG: They say when you’re having fun, time flies. The fun is in the winning and we’ve been winning these last six weeks. You want to slow it down and enjoy it with these kids but at the same time, you want to keep moving forward and see what goals we can reach this season. It’s crazy that next week is week 11 and then after that it’s playoffs. We’ve just got to make sure we get better and enjoy the time we have together.

■ MNM: What adjustments, if any, did you make last night?

JG: Last night we wanted to pound the rock. We wanted to make a statement and run the ball against their defense and then on the defensive side of things, we wanted to stop the run.

Before I think they ran for over 300 yards and that quarterback is a really good player. So the emphasis was to stop the quarterback, stop their run game, keep our defense off the field and use the clock and run the ball. Our kids did an outstanding job doing that.

■ MNM: Overall, from an Xs and Os standpoint, what were you most pleased with?

JG: I think just our execution on both sides of the ball. To hold a high-powered offense to no points until three minutes left in the game or whatever it was when we gave them the safety and then the touchdown, I thought that was outstanding. Also our receivers executed so well and gave great effort and I thought that was really huge.

■ MNM: Who would you say is your player of the week?

JG: I’ve got to give our player of the week this week to Lyrik Rawls, D.D. Williams, Hayden Kelehan and Jarrett Phillips, those four wide receivers may not be in the headlines the last few weeks just in the receiving game and some of those guys might not be get-

ting touches in the running game but those four guys are creating massive perimeter runs for us with their effort in blocking. That is a selfless act on the football field and because of that, our running backs’ and our quarterbacks’ running game have been tremendous.

■ MNM: What area would you say improved the most from last week?

JG: I would say our mindset. Right now, I think we’re a really good football team and we’ve got another week to become great and then the playoffs is when great football teams become elite and that’s when we can start building that program’s mentality. I think last night, we took a huge step and we felt like if we handled our business, we’d have success and with being up 21-0 at half, I think in the past, there were times where we kind of relaxed but last night we kept our foot on the throat and we’re really pleased with how we played in the second half and finished the game.

■ MNM: What would you say is the biggest thing you need to improve on between now and next game?

JG: Pine Tree is a really good football team. They’ve had a ton of success on offense. I know last night the week before may not indicate that but I know Kerry Lane is going to have those guys ready to go against us. Pine Tree always See MAVS, Page 4C

Hubbard leads Okla. State past TCU, 34-27

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — TCU’s Gary Patterson has long been known as one of the best defensive coaches in college football — especially against the run.

Oklahoma State’s Chuba Hubbard, the nation’s leading rusher, treated Patterson’s highly ranked unit just like the rest of them.

The sophomore speedster piled up 223 yards rushing, including two long touchdowns, to help Oklahoma State defeat TCU 34-27 on Saturday.

Hubbard rambled for 192 yards in the second half. A TCU spokesman said Hubbard became the first player to rush for at least 200 yards against TCU in Patterson’s 19-year run as head coach.

“When Chuba gets through there, nobody can catch him,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. “That makes him different than other players.”

Spencer Sanders passed for 158 yards and ran for 88 and Dillon Stoner caught three passes for 93 yards and two touchdowns for the Cowboys (6-3, 3-3 Big 12), who became become bowl eligible for 14th straight year.

Oklahoma State played without star receiver Tylan Wallace, who reportedly tore an ACL during the week. Gundy said Wallace, a Biletnikoff Award finalist last season, is out for the season.

“It’s just hard for a coach to swallow,” Gundy said. “It just almost ruined my week when I left the office, when I went home.

When I go home, it just makes me sick to where I can hardly function. It’s hard to lose a guy like that, not only as a player, but also as a person, what he brings to the table.”

Kolby Harvell-Peel led Oklahoma State’s defense with two interceptions and a fumble recovery.

Max Duggan passed for 258 yards and rushed for 86 for TCU (4-4, 2-3), but he threw three interceptions.

“That quarterback is a good player,” Gundy said. “He’s going to be a good player in this league. This league’s going to be tired of him over the next two or three years.”

Stoner caught touchdown passes of 57 and 22 yards in the first half to help Oklahoma State take a 17-3 lead. Duggan ran for a touchdown and threw for another to help TCU make it a 17-all game at halftime.

Hubbard broke loose for a 92-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. The fourth-longest run in Oklahoma State history gave the Cowboys take a 24-17 lead.

“I just saw the hole and hit it,” Hubbard said. “The offensive line did a great job, we had a great offensive scheme, everyone on offense and defense played their butts off

Members of the Notre Dame football team sing at the end of Saturday’s 21-20 victory over Virginia Tech in South Bend, Ind. ■ NO. 16 NOTRE DAME 21, VIRGINIA TECH 20: SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Ian Book ran 7 yards for a touchdown with 29 seconds left to cap an 18-play, 87-yard drive and give No. 16 Notre Dame a 21-20 victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday.

The Fighting Irish (6-2) committed three turnovers deep in Virginia Tech territory, including a fumble at the goal line that Divine Deablo returned 98 yards to tie it at 14 with 9 seconds left in the first half.

The Hokies (5-3) added a couple of field goals in the second half and the Irish missed one, leaving Notre Dame trailing by six with 3:19 remaining and the ball at its 13.

Book led a methodical drive, converting two fourth downs, including a fourthand-10 from the Tech 33 for 26 yards to Chase Claypool that gave the Irish first-andgoal from the 7. After two incomplete passes, Notre Dame caught Virginia Tech in a blitz. Book ran away from it and darted into the end zone.

Jonathan Doerer booted through the PAT for the lead, Kyle Hamilton picked off a long pass by Quincy Patterson around midfield to end the Hokies’ final possession and the Irish averted a twogame losing streak.

Book passed for 341 yards and two touchdowns.

Patterson got the start for Virginia Tech at quarterback in place of Hendon Hooker, who had started the three previous victories but suffered a knee injury in Virginia Tech’s 43-41 six-overtime victory over North Carolina two Saturdays ago. Patterson ran for 77 yards on 19 carries and completed 9 of 28 passes for 139 yards and an 8-yard touchdown strike to Damon Hazelton in the second quarter.

■ NO. 8 GEORGIA 24, NO. 6 FLORIDA 17: JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jake Fromm picked apart Florida’s defense for the second straight year and Georgia beat the Gators in the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.”

Fromm completed 20 of 30 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns, including a 52-yarder to an uncovered Lawrence Cager in the fourth quarter. Fromm also threw a TD pass in the first half, his

fourth on third down in two years against the Gators.

Cager hadh seven receptions for 132 yards, both career highs.

D’Andre Swift added 86 yards rushing to help the Bulldogs (7-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) move a step closer to winning the SEC’s Eastern Division for the third consecutive year and strengthen their College Football Playoff resume. The Gators (7-2, 4-2) looked lost on both sides of the ball most of the afternoon.

■ NO. 4 CLEMSON 59, WOFFORD 14: CLEMSON, S.C. — Trevor Lawrence scored four touchdowns, Travis Etienne ran for 212 yards and two TDs and No. 4 Clemson won its 24th consecutive game, rolling over FCS opponent Wofford.

Etienne, the reigning Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year, helped the Tigers (9-0) HAD scoring runs of 47 and 86 yards in the first 15:12. Clemson improved to 34-0 against FCS programs.

It was the Tigers’ sixth straight win over Wofford (53), which fell to 1-21 against FBS schools.

Etienne became Clemson’s first rusher with three 200yard games in his career. He also surpassed James Davis for Clemson’s career record for rushing TDs with 48.

Lawrence had three TD passes and a 2-yard scoring run, set up by linebacker Isaiah Simmons’ first interception of the year. Lawrence completed 12 of 16 passes for 218 yards before coming out of the game early in the third quarter.

■ NO. 9 UTAH 33, WASHINGTON 28: SEATTLE — Tyler Huntley threw for one touchdown and ran for another, Jaylon Johnson returned an interception 39 yards for a score and Utah overcame an 11-point firsthalf deficit.

The Utes (8-1, 5-1 Pac-12) kept alive their College Football Playoff hopes, forcing Jacob Eason into three turnovers and getting just enough offense from Huntley to rally from an early 14-3 hole.

Huntley hit Zack Moss on a 9-yard TD pass late in the first half and added a 1-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to give Utah its first lead, 26-21. Huntley’s TD run capped a drive that

and it all just came together.”

Hubbard took off for a 62-yard score in the fourth quarter to give the Cowboys a 31-17 edge.

TCU’s Sewo Olonilua’s 1-yard touchdown run cut Oklahoma State’s lead to 31-24 with 7:11 to play. Oklahoma State’s Matt Ammendola nailed a 43-yard field goal with 2:04 left to extend the Cowboys’ lead to 10.

TCU’s Jonathan Song made a field goal in the final minute, but Oklahoma State recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock.

“The times we do the things we need to do football-wise, we can win football games,” Patterson said. “Still, as bad as we played, it was a seven-point ballgame on the road. A seven-point ballgame on the road as bad as we played. So when we can play well and figure it out, we can beat anyone, and when we don’t, we aren’t going to.”

featured a key third-and-12 conversion where Huntley was able to hit Jaylen Dixon for a 41-yard completion.

Huntley finished 19 of 24 for 284 yards.

Washington (5-4, 2-4) dropped its second straight after losing to Oregon two weeks ago.

■ NO. 14 MICHIGAN 38, MARYLAND 7: COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Giles Jackson returned the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown and Michigan used freshman Zach Charbonnet’s two first-half scoring runs to pull away.

Seeking to build on a 45-14 rout of Notre Dame a week earlier, the Wolverines (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten) led 21-0 at halftime and coasted against the fading Terrapins (3-6, 1-5).

Jackson’s game-opening dash down the right sideline set the tone. Charbonnet ended Michigan’s first drive with a 2-yard run, and the defense made those two scores stand up.

The Wolverines’ special teams contributed, too. In addition to the kickoff return, Michigan used a successful fake punt to set up Charbonnet’s second TD, and a partially blocked punt led to a third-quarter touchdown run by Hassan Haskins for a 35-0 lead. Javon Leake’s 97-yard kickoff return in the third quarter was one of very few highlights for the Terrapins.

■ NO. 22 KANSAS STATE 38, KANSAS 10: LAWRENCE, Kan. — Skylar Thompson ran for 127 yards and three touchdowns, Harry Trotter added 92 yards rushing and another score and Kansas State romped over Kansas.

Thompson also had 129 yards passing for the Wildcats (6-2, 3-2), who showed no letdown from their upset of then-No. 5 Oklahoma in

bludgeoning the Jayhawks (3-6, 1-5) for the 12th consecutive time.

Carter Stanley was 13 of 23 for 115 yards and two interceptions for Kansas before leaving with an injury late in the game. Star running back Pooka Williams managed just 61 yards rushing.

The Wildcats held new coach Les Miles’ team to 241 yards of offense, a 2-for10 mark on third down and stopped it on both fourth down tries. Kansas State also had four sacks, dominated the time of possession and had 342 yards rushing in what turned into a lopsided affair.

■ NO. 23 WAKE FOREST 44, NORTH CAROLINA STATE 10: WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Jamie Newman returned from injury to throw for three touchdowns and run for two more for Wake Forest.

Newman had a game and part of another with a shoulder injury, and his status was uncertain for the long-running series. But Newman and the Demon Deacons (7-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) got off to a dominating start that had this one wrapped up early.

Newman scored twice on first-quarter keepers, taking a moment to extend his arms to the side in celebration as he crossed the goal line on a 20-yard run that started Wake Forest’s opening-period romp. He also had the first of his three TD throws to Jack Freudenthal in the first quarter, with Wake Forest scoring touchdowns on its first three drives and taking a 24-0 lead early in the second.

Newman threw for 287 yards and ran for 30 more before checking out late in the third.

N.C. State is 1-3 in the ACC and 4-4 overall.

COLLEGE STATION (AP) — When Texas A&M fell behind by a touchdown early on Saturday against UTSA, the Aggies needed something to get them going quickly.

They got it in a 60-yard touchdown run by Isaiah Spiller on the first play of the next drive and the freshman’s big day helped the Aggies to a 45-14 victory.

“When you hit those one play drives it demoralizes people. It does,” coach Jimbo Fisher said.

“It takes the heart out of guys on the other side. It takes a mature team to bounce back from that and on offense it gives you that adrenaline.”

Spiller set season highs with 217 yards rushing and three touchdowns to lead the Aggies to their third straight victory and make them bowl eligible for the 11th straight season.

The Aggies (6-3) were up by 14 when a 50-yard touchdown run by Spiller made it 28-7 early in the third quarter. Spiller padded the lead on an 8-yard run later in the third quarter on a drive where he had a 42-yard run.

“He was the catalyst today,” Fisher said. “He’s growing each and every day.”

Kellen Mond threw for 211 yards and a touchdown, and his 1-yard TD run on the first drive of the fourth quarter made it 42-7. He was replaced on A&M’s next drive with the Aggies in control of the game.

Mond said the development of the running game has really helped him in the passing game and he’s been impressed by the growth of Spiller this season.

Lowell Narcisse had 90 yards passing and ran for 54 yards and a touchdown before injuring his right

thumb early in the third quarter on a hard hit by Anthony Hines. He had to be helped to his feet and off the field. He walked to the locker room but did not return to the game.

Jordan Weeks took over and threw for 48 yards with an interception.

UTSA coach Frank Wilson was happy with his team’s effort in the loss.

“I’m extremely proud of them,” he said. “They never quit. They continued to fight ... unfortunately today our best wasn’t good enough against a very quality football team.”

The Roadrunners cut the lead to 45-14 when Dadrian Taylor intercepted a pass from backup Zach Calzada and returned it 58 yards for a touchdown with about five minutes left.

“We can see that we’re getting better in a lot of areas (but) you can’t relax, you’ve got to reload,” Fisher said. “There’s going to be three great games and we’ve got to get better and better” Texas A&M’s defense was in the backfield for much of the day and finished with four sacks, seven quarterback hits and 10 tackles for losses.

Narcisse put UTSA (3-5) on top in the first with a 2-yard touchdown run that made it 7-0. That play was set up by a 44-yard catch and run by Sincere McCormick two plays earlier.

The Aggies tied it when Spiller ran 60 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the next possession.

Spiller is the fourth freshman in school history to run for at least 200 yards and the second Aggie freshman to run for three TDs in a game.

Cordarrian Richardson put Texas A&M on top 14-7 later in the first quarter with a 19-yard touchdown run.

Dragons scorch Bobcats, 43-6 Jeff Shelton

SPORTS CORRESPONDENT

NACOGDOCHES — Jake Smith tossed three touchdown passes, and the Nacogdoches Dragons kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 43-6 victory over the Hallsville Bobcats in District 9-5A Division II action at Dragon Stadium.

Nacogdoches improves to 2-7 overall and 2-4 in the district with the win heading into a regular-season finale next week at Mount Pleasant.

Hallsville drops to 2-7 and 0-6 with the loss and will close out the season at home next Friday against Whitehouse.

The Dragons opened the scoring late

from Smith to Jatavious Deckard at the end of a 3-play, 50-yard drive that was highlighted by a 41-yard run from Thacker.

Hallsville’s lone score came at the 3:46 mark of the third on a 1-yard touchdown run up the middle by Buck Buchanan.

Carter Rojas had a 30-yard run on the drive to move the ball to the Dragon five, and Buchanan did the scoring honors to end a six-play, 63-yard drive.

The rest of the game belonged to the Dragons, who got a 30-yard TD run by Floyd late in the third and then used a 2-yard TD pass from Smith to Drayton Brown and a 43-yard run by Thacker to end the scoring.

Wilkerson, Smith lead EF past New Diana

By Stephen AmASon SPORTS CORRESPONDENT

DIANA — The Elysian Fields Yellowjackets came into Friday’s District 11-3A DII matchup with the New Diana Eagles ready to spoil the Eagles’ Senior Night as they rolled to 27-7 win at Eagle Stadium.

Senior running back Christavian Smith and junior quarterback Ryan Wilkerson stole the show for Elysian Fields. Wilkerson completed 10 of 16 passes for 117 yards and threw one touchdown. Wilkerson also ran the ball 11 times for 91 yards rushing and found

the endzone twice.

Smith had 30 carries for 128 yards rushing and one touchdown on the evening.

Elysian Fields jumped on the board early when Wilkerson found Jackson Illingworth for a 10-yard catch and score. An unsuccessful 2-pt conversion left the score with the Yellowjackets up 6-0.

Elysian Fields started the second quarter finding the end zone again with a 38-yard haul from Wilkerson. Another failed 2-pt conversion kept the score 12-0 with the Yellowjackets on top.

Elysian Fields took a commanding

20-0 lead with them at halftime.

New Diana needed a spark coming into the second half, finally saw the scoreboard light up when senior wide-receiver KeKe Nelson took the opening kickoff of the second half all the way back for the score. A successful PAT left the score 20-7.

Elysian Fields, in the end, proved to be strong for New Diana, as they put the final touches on their lead, adding another touchdown from Smith from 12 yards out.

New Diana (6-3, 4-2) will visit Daingerfield next week. Elysian Fields (5-4, 3-3) will host DeKalb.

McIlroy takes 1-shot lead into final round Nothing like fall for sportsmen of HSBC Champions T OUTDOORS

SHANGHAI (AP) — On a day when eight players had a chance to take the lead at the HSBC Champions, Rory McIlroy found the best way to move forward was to not go backward.

He didn’t get the most out of his round Saturday at Sheshan International.

But he had the lead.

“I’m not going to complain,” McIlroy said after 5-under 67 with no bogeys on his card. “I’m in the lead going into tomorrow. Just need to rest up and try to get out there and play another good, solid round of golf.”

McIlroy hit a towering lob wedge that spun down the ridge to 3 feet for birdie on the par-5 closing hole to take a one-shot lead over Louis Oosthuizen on a day of big runs and unseemly collapses.

He had neither.

McIlroy only had to stress twice for par, and not after the third hole. He wound up at 15-under 201 as he goes for his first World Golf Championship since 2015, his fourth victory of the year and a chance to move a little closer to the No. 1 ranking.

Oosthuizen began the third round with five straight birdies and finished with two birdies over his last three holes for a 65.

“Five in a row and then just played decent,” Oosthuizen said. “Need to have another good one tomorrow.”

Li Haotong of China had a robust crowd going early with five birdies through six holes to take the lead, only to shoot 42 on the back nine for a 74 that knocked him out of contention.

Defending champion Xander Schauffele felt a little better in his fight to recover from the flu, and it showed early when he opened with three straight birdies and missed an 8-foot putt that would have been four in a row. He overcame a few mistakes around the turn and finished with three straight birdies for a 68 to finish two off the lead and get into the final group.

This is the only World Golf Championships event where no one has won back-toback, and Schauffele is in the best shape to try to keep the WGCs in American hands for the eighth straight time.

“I wasn’t expecting to play

here is nothing like the fall for the sportsmen – fishing, hunting, football and to top it off, the World Series.

Excitement is in the air as duck and deer season is about to kick off. Even though the fish are going strong, many fishermen will be temporarily laying their rods down and climbing a tree in hopes of that big buck coming along.

Meanwhile, the ardent duck hunters, like our family, will be heading to the blinds, hoping for some action with the waterfowl. There are just not enough hours in the day to be involved in all these activities.

As I am in the process of completing his report, as much as I hate to admit it, our Houston Astros struck out.

As we travel the highway of life, there are two things we have to deal with – winning and losing.

The instruction book that we live by tells us how to deal with winning and losing – never look back, keep your eyes on the goal. Do what the instruction book says.

Years of experience and being fortunate to know some of the best fishermen in our area have shown me there is no better area to fish on Caddo Lake than in the Big Cypress River from Devil’s Elbow to the bridge crossing highway 43. Fish brush tops

this well at the beginning of the week, so I’m probably the happiest guy in the tournament,” he said.

Schauffele was tied at 13-under with Matt Fitzpatrick (70), who kept his bogey-free streak going with a 70-foot par putt on the fifth hole, only to miss a 4-foot par putt on the seventh hole, his first bogey since the first hole of the tournament.

He dropped two more shots on the back and didn’t make enough birdies — or as many birdies as everyone around him on another prime afternoon in Shanghai — to keep pace.

Eight players were within five shots of the lead, including Sungjae Im (70) and Match Play champion Kevin Kisner (67), both hopeful of being wild-card selections next week for the Presidents Cup. But they are chasing McIlroy, no small task when he’s swinging like this.

“Played with Rory the last two rounds last week. He’s absolutely striping it,” Oosthuizen said. “I need to play really good golf tomorrow.”

Oosthuizen did his part early with five straight birdies, and he wasn’t alone in making a move up the leaderboard. When the final group reached the par-5 eighth hole, the leaderboard behind the green had Li at 13 under, three others at 12 under, and two more at 11 under. McIlroy was 2 under at that point and felt as though he wasn’t getting enough out of his round.

McIlroy missed a 5-foot birdie putt, but he answered with a bold 7-iron over the water to 4 feet for birdie on the ninth. More importantly, he didn’t give anything back.

“I guess at that point I felt like I needed to get more out of my round to get into the lead, but the back nine played tough,” he said. “I did what I needed to do. I birdied the two par 5s and didn’t drop any shots.”

He left that to everyone around him.

Adam Scott was two shots out of the lead until a double bogey on the par-5 eight, and bogeys on the ninth and 11th holes. He never recovered and hit into the water on the 18th, getting up-and-down to save par for a 75.

ETBU From Page 1C respectively. ETBU then appeared to have forced another SU punt but a costly fumble on the return was recovered by the Pirates and they took over into the second quarter.

SU got inside ETBU’s10-yard line before kicking a field goal to trail 14-3.

The Tigers started deep in their own territory and would go three-and-out, which led to a punt that put SU in good field position. The Pirates wasted no trouble scoring on three plays to cut the lead to 14-10. After another ETBU punt, SU’s 10-play drive ended when Kelley picked off a pass at the five-yard-line. But the Tigers couldn’t move the ball and had to punt. With time ticking, the Pirates found the end zone for a 16-14 lead going into halftime scoring with 10 seconds left.

Ward keyed ETBU’s first drive of

the second half as he would pick up a big gain of 42 yards leading to a oneyard touchdown to give ETBU the lead back, 21-16. The Tigers then scored on their next drive as Alexander ran from 11 yards out to make it 28-16. A 38-yard rush by the Pirates brought the score to 28-23 halfway through the third quarter. The ensuing kickoff changed the momentum and set the tone for the rest of the game as Alexander returned the kick 90 yards to push the score to 35-23.

In the fourth quarter, facing a fourth down at ETBU’s17, SU went for it only to see Kelley intercept another pass and bring possession back to ETBU. On his first and only reception of the game, Jake Smith would catch Baca’s record-breaking touchdown pass for 39 yards and a 42-23 lead in ETBU’s favor. Kelley once again made

an interception on the ensuing SU drive for his third of the game. Bailey Badeaux sealed the win with a 43-yard rush for his first touchdown of the season to make it 49-23.

ETBU returns to Ornelas Stadium for their final home game of the season as they take on Hardin-Simmons University at 2 p.m.

JG: Just staying focused on our job. Senior night is an awesome opportunity to honor our seniors but we’ve got to stay focused on what we do. Pine Tree is a really good football team but I say it every week – it’s about the Mavericks.

It’s about us doing our job and our responsibilities and not getting caught up in what other teams do, which is doing our assignment well.

We’ve got the distractions again but we’ve just got to find a way to go 1-0.

ETBU Kinesiology students host field day SPECIAL TO THE NEWS MESSENGER

Over 350 three and fouryear old students from Marshall ISD enjoyed the East Texas Baptist University Kinesiology Department’s 12th annual Washington Early Childhood Center (WECC) Field Day on Wednesday, Oct. 30.

ETBU Kinesiology students led the ECC attendees in a variety of physical activities, ranging from parachute play, and tricycle riding, to obstacle course running.

“Because of Marshall Early Childhood Center’s move to the old South Marshall Elementary building, they were able to increase their number of classes. We accommodated around 80 more students than we ever have before,” ETBU Professor of Kinesiology Dr. Will Walker said. “ETBU students were able to gain practical experience in a physical activity-based environment at a fairly early stage in their own college careers. At the same time, we served the greater Marshall community through providing opportunities for the MECC students to enjoy games and play with ‘big kids’, who happen to be dressed up as superheroes, sports stars, pandas, crayon boxes, and a variety of other fun things.”

The Marshall Early Child-

hood Center serves children in pre-kindergarten and is home to Marshall ISD’s Head Start Program. The organization focuses on preparing each child for kindergarten through quality curriculum, engaging activities, and a staff who is committed to encouraging and teaching students. This collaboration between MECC and ETBU provides physical education and activities for elementary students and encourages and inspires the college students in their chosen field of study.

“I love seeing the interaction and engagement between college students and the kids,” MECC teacher Tonya McCray said. “I can see that the kids are developing their gross motor skills, and it shows them that this is something they could look forward to going to a big school. I bet all of them will sleep well today!”

Students in ETBU’s KINE 2309 Teaching K-5 Physical Education course, which primarily consists of first-semester sophomores majoring in All-Level Physical Education and in Child Development, are provided an opportunity to apply course content, practice their learned content in practical situations, strengthen their servant leadership skills, and build relationships with children and families in

the local community.

“This Field Day is about community outreach and career training,” junior kinesiology major Brady Faulkner said. “We apply what we’ve learned in the classroom with kids around the ages that we will be teaching in the real world. I enjoyed hanging out with the kids, putting a smile on their face, and having fun.”

Field Day is more than a one-day activity for ETBU students. Prior to the event, students spend time carefully building lesson plans, specifically for the age range of children that attend the event. In addition, the students also practice teaching strategies, incorporating and applying effective use of wording and body language to elementary students.

“I chose to major in kinesiology because I like the idea of helping people be better and doing it through a physical aspect. I hope to be able to impact lives with encouragement both verbally and physically,” junior kinesiology major Justice Henson said.

“This is a great opportunity to get started in my field of work, and I’m I love to see the kids’ smiling faces.”

TSTC to expand night classes for programs SPECIAL TO THE NEWS MESSENGER

Texas State Technical College’s Marshall campus is expanding its offering of night classes for students.

The Industrial Systems — Electrical Specialization program will have its first night cohort starting in January for the spring semester. Students will attend classes two nights a week and during the day on Saturdays.

Nathan Cleveland, TSTC’s associate provost in Mar-

shall, said the program was selected because of industry demand.

“We have more requests to fill jobs than we currently have graduates,” he said.

“For a nontraditional student that is working, they can come in the evenings and they can move up further in their job at their current employer.”

The first program to offer night classes on campus, Precision Machining Technology, is thriving this semester and will offer a sec-

ond night cohort in January.

Danny Nixon, a Precision Machining Technology instructor, said more than half of the 12 students in the program this semester work full time during the day and attend classes four nights a week. The students range in age from 19 to 33, Nixon said.

“They are so mature and willing to learn and attentive,” he said.

Native workers not sure what’s next after coal plant closes ALONG THE BLACK MESA AND LAKE POWELL RAILROAD, Ariz. (AP) — Ron Little nestles into a familiar seat aboard a train locomotive and slides the window open, leaning out to get a better view of dozens of rail cars that stretch for a mile behind and the landscape he knows so well.

The heavy steel wheels roll along a dizzying pattern of concrete railroad ties that snake through sandstone formations, boulder-laden arroyos and grasslands. Little points to a rock formation named for the reddish dirt that Navajos use to dye wool for rugs and another with a cutout like the handle of a milk jug.

“It’s beautiful scenery you just go live with every day,” he said.

Every day until recently, when the last of the trains he’s operated for more than half his life pulled up to a power plant with thousands of tons of coal.

Before the year ends, the Navajo Generating Station near the Arizona-Utah border will close and others in the region are on track to shut down or reduce their output in the next few years. Its owners are turning to cheaper power produced by natural gas as they and other coal-fired plants in the U.S. face growing pressure over contributing to climate change.

Those shifts are upending people’s livelihoods, including hundreds of mostly Native American workers who mined the coal on tribal land, loaded it from a roadside silo and helped produce the electricity that has powered the American Southwest since the 1970s.

Two tribes each will lose millions of dollars in income, while workers like Little are forced into early retirement.

Some employees will stay on to restore the land, while others aren’t sure what’s next.

Ted Candelaria, a fourth-generation railroader who voted for President Donald Trump in hopes he would

be coal’s saving grace, said the change is bittersweet.

“I got all emotional, started tearing up. It’s kind of sad because I love what I do,” Candelaria said from the driver’s seat of his pickup truck, looking toward a line of locomotives. “Where else does a guy get to come to work and ride on an electric train?”

The Black Mesa and Lake Powell Railroad was one of only three 50-kilovolt electric lines in the world. The rail yard boasted some rarities, including a 1976 locomotive with a faded blue body and a rusty red front end that led the final journey from the coal silos to the power plant in late August, effectively shutting down the mine that fed it.

The power plant was built in the late 1960s on land leased from the Navajo Nation, one of two coal-mining Native American tribes that has the largest land base, spanning parts of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.

The plant was a compromise to keep more hydroelectric dams from being built through the Grand Canyon and to power a series of canals that deliver water to Arizona’s major cities, allowing them to grow. At the time, the U.S. was facing a natural gas shortage and utilities turned to coal to feed the electric grid.

Now, utilities increasingly are shifting to renewable energy, setting standards to wean themselves off coal, an industry Trump has tried to prop up. The country gets about 25% of its electricity from coal-fired plants, down from 40% five years ago, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

U.S. utilities announced the retirement of nearly 550 coalfired power generators since 2010, the agency said. More are planned.

Two other coal-fired plants operate on or near the Navajo Nation in northwestern New Mexico and have a majority Navajo workforce. The San Juan Generating Station is slated to close in 2022, and the

The power plant will close before the year ends, upending the lives of hundreds of mostly Native American workers who mined coal, loaded it and played a part in producing electricity that powered the American Southwest.

nearby Four Corners Power Plant by 2038.

One unit at the Navajo Generating Station in Arizona shut down in September. Decommissioning the other two is expected to take two years, with the smokestacks coming down in 2020.

The coal reserves are vast beneath the land belonging to the Navajo Nation and the neighboring Hopi Tribe. The plant has burned 24,000 tons of coal a day for nearly 50 years, and the Navajo Nation estimates it still has a 100-year supply.

Without extending the rail line beyond the 78 miles (126 kilometers) between the power plant and the silos at the Kayenta Mine, the coal has nowhere to go.

“It’s disappointing to us,” said Randy Lehn, the mine’s acting general manager. “We tried harder than anyone else to try to keep this thing going.”

Peabody Energy, which owned the mine, launched a bid to save the Navajo Generating Station last year with rallies, ads and a “Yes to NGS” campaign. Residents of the Navajo community of LeChee, closest to the plant, wrote to Trump asking for help.

It didn’t work. The Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe now are hard-pressed to come up with a way to make up for the losses, including money for student scholarships and road maintenance.

The Hopi Tribe is losing $14 million a year in coal revenue, or 82% of its general budget that pays for human resources, information technology and financial staff, court programs and legal counsel.

More than $3 million goes to Hopi villages.

Tribal members who gathered coal from the mine to heat their homes or used it for ceremonial fires will have to look elsewhere, a similar concern for thousands of Navajos. “(It’s) the main concern right now because we’re in that part of the season of the year now,” Hopi Vice Chairman Clark Tenakhongva said.

“Religious are finally realizing: ‘What are we going to do for heating? How are we going to survive from here on out?’”

The Hopi Tribe plans to cut government services where it can, possibly switching workers to a four-day workweek.

“Everybody is concerned as far as what the future looks like,” Tenakhongva said.

Economic development is difficult for the Hopi Tribe, which is landlocked by the much-larger Navajo Nation and doesn’t get as much tourist traffic. Hopi officials plan to lobby Congress for funding and to fulfill what it says are land obligations to the tribe.

U.S. Rep. Tom O’Halleran, an Arizona Democrat who represents both tribes, recently introduced legislation that would temporarily help replace lost coal revenue and create training and educational programs for displaced workers.

At the height, mining operations in the region employed 700 mostly Native American workers. The power plant had more than 500 employees, 90% of whom were Navajo.

Navajo President Jonathan Nez said the tribe will lose between $40 million and $50 million annually from coal revenue and lease payments — money being replaced temporarily with interest from a trust fund it developed in 1985 to replenish lost revenue from coal, timber, gas and oil.

The interest is enough to cover the losses each year, but the tribe would have to consider approving that method in budget talks going forward.

Mine and power plant workers are being encouraged to start their own businesses and bid on tribal projects, Nez said. His administration also has encouraged members to spend their money on the reservation.

Tourism, solar plants, a call center and manufacturing facilities could help make up lost revenue, tribal officials said, but no single venture will replace the money coal brought in.

“There is potential for a lot more as far as diversification when we look at renewable energy as well as our enterprises of the Navajo Nation that pay back funds to the Navajo Nation,” tribal economic development director J.T. Willie said.

The tribe will have access to the transmission lines that carried power from the plant to customers in the U.S. West and will keep a warehouse, offices and the train tracks, which Willie said could be used for tourism or sold.

Gerald Clitso, sitting in the control booth of a coal silo above the railway recently, is not convinced he would have as lucrative of a job opportunity elsewhere in the Navajo Nation.

Gretchen Carlson wants to speak freely about Fox News tenure

CROSSWORD

NEW YORK (AP) — When Gretchen Carlson heard that NBC News was considering letting people out of their non-disclosure agreements involving alleged sexual misconduct at the network, she couldn’t help but think of the NDA she signed with Fox News before her departure three years ago.

“It would be nice to be able to be able to tell my full story,” Carlson said.

She’s hoping one day she

can. The newswoman says she’s asked to be let out of her NDA and talked to other Fox News employees who left with similar settlements about pressing the network to be let out of the agreements.

“Companies are saying that they want to be open and transparent and that they have worked tirelessly to make their work environments safer,” she told The Associated Press. “And if that’s the truth, then they should let

us out.”

Carlson got a reported $20 million settlement in 2016 after she sued the network, claiming late Fox News chief Roger Ailes demoted then fired her when she rejected his sexual advances.

Besides her settlement, she got a public apology, which Carlson said was key: “That usually doesn’t happen when you come to some sort of an agreement. Some would say that that would be an admis-

sion of guilt.”

Fox News did not return an email seeking comment.

Carlson’s case predated sexual misconduct allegations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein by a year.

One of the scandal’s revelations was how Weinstein used NDAs to silence women who accused him of abuse.

His downfall led to the #MeToo movement that toppled scores of famous and powerful men.

Mom-to-be is tired of cleaning solo

DEAR ABBY: I am 7 1/2 months pregnant, living with my fiance, his cousin, his cousin’s girlfriend and her little brother, who she has custody of.

(He will be 18 in a few months.)

I do all the house cleaning and have for the last year and a half.

I constantly pick up after them after work.

The cousin’s girlfriend (“Queen Slob”) is the worst of the bunch.

She doesn’t clean up after herself at all. She leaves a trail — drops her purse on the table, doesn’t throw away her trash and leaves dirty dishes everywhere. I have tried not picking up after Queen Slob and everyone else, but they are either so dumb or inconsiderate that they don’t put two and two together and realize it’s not magic and someone is cleaning up after them.

How do I nicely express that I’m fed up with being the only one who keeps the house clean without coming off like a crazy pregnant lady? I’m running out of energy. I have been trying to clean for my baby shower, but I’m getting nowhere because every time I clean something, I have to do it again the next day. I also can’t get the house

BLONDIE

DEAR ABBY JEANNE PHILLIPS ready for the arrival of the baby. It’s not going to be fair to my baby if Mommy has to clean up someone’s mess before I feed him. Help, Abby! — MAID IN NEVADA DEAR MAID: You are right that once the baby arrives you won’t be able to keep up what you have been doing. If you haven’t expressed to your fiance what you have shared with me, it is long overdue. The two of you should convene a meeting of everyone who lives under that roof and set some house rules.

If the cousin and his girlfriend won’t cooperate, they should move.

As to your baby shower, if you have a close friend or relative nearby, it might be more practical to hold it in one of their homes.

DEAR ABBY: My 10-year-old son is behaviorally challenged and receives special education services at school. He is in the fourth grade.

Since the beginning of the school year he has been bullied by a girl in his class. She intentionally embarrasses him and makes fun of him in front of his classmates or when the teacher isn’t looking. His reaction to her bullying gets him in trouble. Unfortunately, they don’t see what she’s doing that causes it. My son gets put into isolation at school, but seldom does she have any consequences for the bullying because she’s discreet.

I have talked with his teacher, his counselor, special education coordinator, vice principal and the principal. Their only focus is my son’s behavior/reaction.

They don’t address the issue of the girl bullying him. I tell him to ignore her, tell his teacher, tell the vice principal, but my advice has changed nothing.

Abby shares more than 100 of her favorite recipes in two booklets: “Abby’s Favorite Recipes” and “More Favorite Recipes by Dear Abby.” Send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $16 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby, Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.

(Shipping and handling are included in the price.)

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Special to the News Messenger

It may not feel cold outside yet, but cooler temperatures will be here before you know it. Homeowners can reduce some of the rising energy costs by winterizing their homes and vehicles before the harsh weather hits.

Better Business Bureau serving Central East Texas (BBB) and The United States Department of Energy also encourage homeowners to conduct a home energy assessment to determine how slight corrections could make your home more energy efficient and like wise lower energy costs.

“It’s wise to ensure your home is ready for harsh weather by scheduling biannual checkups for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment,” Mechele Agbayani Mills, President and CEO of BBB Serving Central East Texas said. “Performing an assessment before summer and again before cold weather strikes can prevent headaches and financial strain long term.”

BBB offers the following tips for winterizing the home: • Hire a professional. Hiring an expert as to determine the health of your existing HVAC equipment can also help you save money in the long run. Go to bbb.org to find a professional you can trust.

• Inspect caulking and weather stripping. To prevent air leaks, homeowners need to inspect the caulking around windows and doors to check for cracking and peeling. In addition, ensure that doors and windows are shut tightly and no cold air is coming in due to worn down weather stripping.

• Clean your heating ducts. Ducts should be cleaned out once every two years. Consider adding insulation to any exposed ductwork in order to prevent losing heated air.

• Change your air filters. Many of us fail to replace our air filters as often as we should. Clean filters are a great way to reduce indoor air pollution during the time your home will have less natural ventilation during winter months.

• Prepare your emergency kit.

If a winter storm strikes, an emergency kit should have all essential materials in one handy place.

An emergency kit should include flashlights, candles and matches, a first aid kit, bottled water, non-perishable food and a battery-powered radio. Create similar kits for your vehicles as well, including a few blankets, coats, hand and feet warmers, gloves, etc.

• Sweep the chimney. According to the United States Fire Administration, from 2013-2015, an average of 45,900 home heating fires occurred, making heating the second leading cause of house fires. Not only will the sweeper clean the inside of your chimney, but also take note of and repair structural damage.

• Protect your windows. Window screens should be taken down and replaced with storm windows to provide an extra layer of protection. It’s also a good idea to install storm windows in the attic to stop warm air from leaking through. Investing in a window insulator kit is an inexpensive option to keep out drafts.

• Unclog gutters and ridge vents.

Gutters need to be cleaned to prevent any clogs or to break up any clogs that might be present. Rainwater could back up and freeze causing the gutters to expand and crack. The ridge vents need to be cleaned as well in order to help prevent stagnate air.

For more tips on how to be a savvy consumer or to share your experience with a business, go to bbb.org. To report a fraudulent activity or unscrupulous business practices, call BBB at 903- 581-5704 or report it via BBB Scam Tracker.
