THE MARKET AT A GLANCE

Stocks end lower as health-care companies decline KEN SWEET

AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — Stocks closed lower on Wednesday, led by sharp declines in health-care companies as outrage over the steep price hikes for Mylan’s EpiPens escalates. Trading remains quiet overall with many investors still on vacation. It was another below-average day of trading volume on the New York Stock Exchange. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 65.82 points, or 0.4 percent, to 18,481.48. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 11.46 points, or 0.5 percent, to 2,175.44 and the Nasdaq composite lost 42.38 points, or 0.8 percent, to 5,217.69. Major indexes were down slightly for most of the day, and the losses deepened as a late-day sell-off in drugmakers dragged the broader market lower. Mylan dropped $2.47, or 5.5 percent, to $43.15 after falling nearly 5 percent the day before. Outrage over Mylan’s price increases for its EpiPen product continues to grow. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton issued a statement Wednesday calling Mylan’s price increases “outrageous” and called for the company to reduce its prices for EpiPens immediately. She is the latest in a bipartisan group of politicians who have raised concerns about Mylan’s pricing. EpiPens are medical devices designed to deliver adrenaline to a patient suffering from a potentially fatal allergic reaction. Allergy sufferers often have to carry more than one because they always need to be close by in case of an emergency. Mylan, which bought the rights to the product in 2007, has raised the price from roughly $100 for two pens to roughly $600. A DAY ON WALL STREET Aug. 24, 2016

Hidden History: Twin Falls welcomes JFK and Frank Church

udie House was only 9 years old in 1956 when her father, Twin Falls County Democratic Central Committee Chairman Tom Alworth, ran for Idaho attorney general. Although he lost the election, the year remained an important one for Alworth: MYCHEL MATTHEWS He hosted an Oct. 22 visit to Twin Falls by two political giants. That year, Frank Church won the nomination for U.S. senator on the Democratic ticket, and U.S. Senator John F. Kennedy from Massachusetts came to Twin Falls that summer to raise support for Church’s campaign. Church had run in 1952, but lost to long-time Republican Sen. Herman Welker, who was so closely tied to to Sen. Joseph McCarthy and “McCarthyism” that he was often referred to by Senate colleagues as “Little Joe from Idaho.” Church and Kennedy spoke to crowds at City Park and at the Roxy Theater, then attended a luncheon at the Turf Club. House’s mother, Dorothy Doss Alworth, sat with Kennedy. “After the event, Ken-

Kennedy, who was elected president 5 years later, came to town to support Church in his second run for Senate seat. Church, 32, was elected that year and served until 1981. nedy came out and spent the rest of the day at the Alworth Ranch, north of Curry,” said House, office coordinator for the Twin Falls Area Chamber of Commerce. Church won the election, and he and Kennedy served together in the Senate until Kennedy won the presidential election in 1960. “My dad was kind of special,” House said.

“When my father passed in 1959 John Kennedy sent my mother roses.” In 1976, Church sought the Democratic nomination for president and won primaries in Idaho, Nebraska, Oregon and Montana. To date, he remains the only Idahoan to win a major-party presidential primary election. Church, who attended House’s wedding in 1968, served in the Senate until

losing to Steve Symms in 1980. Mychel Matthews reports on rural issues and agriculture for the Times-News. The Hidden History feature runs every Thursday in the TimesNews and on Magicvalley. com.

Top general scheduled to testify at Bergdahl hearing JONATHAN DREW

Associated Press

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — A top Army general is scheduled to testify Wednesday about why he destroyed letters he received from supporters and critics of Hailey native Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Gen. Robert B. Abrams is expected to appear in court Wednesday at a pretrial hearing to answer questions related to a motion seeking to disqualify him from the case. Abrams is the four-star head of U.S. Army Forces command who decided to send the soldier’s case to a general court-martial rather than a lower-level tribunal. Abrams has acknowledged that he disposed of letters on the case that he had largely received from the general public by sending them to an incinerator. The defense is seeking to allow another commander to decide whether the case warrants a general court-martial. The destruction of the letters is one of several reasons the defense

In this Jan. 12 file photo, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl arrives for a pretrial hearing at Fort Bragg, N.C. says Abrams should be disqualified. They also cite his prior role advising former U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel during efforts to return Bergdahl from captivity and questions about whether Abrams considered defense objections to the findings of a preliminary hearing. The judge overseeing Bergdahl’s case, Army Col. Jeffery Nance, decided Monday that Abrams must testify this week. “There are some ques-

tions I have to ask about the 100 or so letters,” Nance told the lawyers, though he said he was skeptical about the letters’ relevance. Prosecutors argue that the letters, sent largely by members of the public, didn’t constitute evidence and that Abrams shouldn’t be disqualified. Abrams’ appearance could provide courtroom fireworks. It’s unusual for a four-star general to testify in a court-martial hearing, said Eric Carpenter, a former Army lawyer who teaches law at Florida International University. Bergdahl, who is from Hailey, Idaho, walked off his post in Afghanistan in 2009 and wound up as a captive of the Taliban and its allies until 2014. The Obama administration won his release by swapping him for Guantanamo Bay detainees. Bergdahl faces a court-martial on charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. The latter charge carries up to a life sentence. The trial is scheduled for February 2017.

As temperatures warm up across southern Idaho skies will remain sunny and conditions will remain dry through the next seven to 10 days. Brian Neudorff is the Chief Meteorologist for KMVT-TV and KSVT, FOX 14. Email him at bneudorff@kmvt.com or call 208.933.2847

US stocks surge following Trump victory; bond prices tumble ALEX VEIGA

Associated Press

It turns out that President Donald Trump may not be bad for the stock market after all. Asian stock markets stumbled shortly after Trump overtook Hillary Clinton in the presidential vote count early Wednesday. From there, Wall Street appeared set for a slump of its own, only it never materialized. Global financial markets soon steadied as Trump delivered an acceptance speech pledging to unify a deeply divided nation. In early trading Thursday in Tokyo, Japan’s share benchmark, the Nikkei 225 index, jumped 6 percent. An hour later, it was up 5.7 percent at 17,179.39. The dollar also rebounded in currency trading, and was at 105.59 yen early Thursday after dropping to near 101 yen the day before. Despite wavering in the first hour of trading, U.S. stocks rallied the rest of the day on Wednesday, lifting the Dow Jones industrial average within 50 points of a record high close.

CLARENCE E. BISBEE PHOTO

Eagle Rock is seen overlooking the Snake River at the top of Shoshone Falls in this early Clarence E. Bisbee photo. Some thought the name ‘Snake’ was too crude for such a grand river.

Plea to rename the Snake River W hile the Snake River is acclaimed for its scenic canyon and falls, rarely is its name questioned today. But there was a time when the name wasn’t widely accepted. Five months after irrigation water from MYCHEL MATTHEWS the river first spilled upon the Twin Falls Tract, folks were suggesting the name be changed. “The citizens of Twin

Falls would welcome such revision and would be glad to see the mighty river which supplies moisture for the largest irrigated tract in America called by its proper name, ‘Shoshonee,’” opined the Twin Falls Weekly News in its Aug. 11, 1905, edition. “’Snake’ is a revolting appellation and while it may suggest the sinuous course of the stream, it forever eliminates the river from song or sentiment,” the newspaper explained. To some, “Snake” implied that the river’s edge is infested with rattlesnakes, keeping tourists from visiting the falls.

WEATHER

Could snow be here sooner rather than later?

s a local meteorologist, one question I repeatedly get asked is, “when will we get snow?” The answer may be: “sooner than you expect.” Since the start of November, our BRIAN weather has NEUDORFF been warm and sunny. This trend will continue through the weekend and into early next week but the models are wanting to bring a pattern change to the region late next week. While this is definitely not set in stone and could easily change, for

the last couple of days, the long range forecast models are showing a big change in our weather pattern that would equal much colder and the possibility of snow. Not just snow for the mountains, but snow in the valleys. Before you break out the snow blower, this is just something we are seeing and will need to keep an eye on for next Wednesday and Thursday. In the mean time let’s just enjoy this nice November weather. Brian Neudorff is the Chief Meteorologist for KMVT-TV and KSVT, FOX 14. Email him at bneudorff@kmvt. com or call 208.933.2847

CORRECTIONS The outcome of the city of Filer water bond was incorrectly reported in Wednesday’s Times-News. The bond required a simple majority to pass, not a super majority. The bond passed with 55.6 percent of voters approving. Two photographs on page A3 in Wednesday’s TimesNews were incorrectly credited to photographer Pat Sutphin. Photographer Drew Nash took the photo of Aurora Hansen at a polling place with her father and the photo of chief election judge Mary Mitchell.

“It is a pity we cannot get rid of the offensive name ‘Snake,’” said E.G. Eagleson, surveyor general for Idaho who later became a Boise mayor. In an interesting offshoot, Eagleson suggested a prehistoric population that inhabited the area before the Indians. “It would seem that nearly all our great rivers were named by the people of some prehistoric race and the survival of these names is about all the oral evidence we have that North America was peopled by a race which flourished before the Indians,” he said.

His message was clear, but moot. “Let the grandest stream in America be known by its proper name, the Shoshonee, and let us forget the repulsive and offensive Snake.” Mychel Matthews reports on rural issues and agriculture for the Times-News.

HIDDEN HISTORY

THE MARKET AT A GLANCE

Energy companies pull US stocks lower as oil prices fall NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks took small losses Wednesday as energy companies fell with the price of oil and chemical and materials companies traded lower. That pulled the market lower for August, ending a five-month winning streak for stocks. The losses were very small, though, as this proved to be one of the quietest months in recent history for stocks. Stocks traded lower all day and fell for the fifth time in the last six days. The price of oil dropped more than 3 percent after the U.S. government said crude oil stockpiles grew more than expected last week, while gasoline stockpiles didn’t shrink as much as investors hoped. The dollar gained some strength, which sent commodity prices lower, as expectations grew that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates from their ultra-low levels as early as next month. “The more the market believes a Fed rate hike is coming based on better economic data, the more the dollar rises,” said Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial. “Last Friday (Fed Chair )Janet Yellen put the market on notice that she sees a rate hike in the coming months.” The Dow Jones industrial average fell 53.42 points, or 0.3 percent, to 18,400.88. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index gave up 5.17 points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,170.95. The Nasdaq composite dipped 9.77 points, or 0.2 percent, to 5,213.22. Energy prices slumped after the U.S. government said crude oil stockpiles increased by 2.3 million barrels last week, a bigger gain than analysts expected. Gasoline stockpiles shrank, but not as much as investors had hoped. U.S. crude fell $1.65, or 3.6 percent, to $44.70 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, the benchmark for international oil prices, lost $1.33, or 2.7 percent, to $47.04.

PHOTO COURTESY OF TWIN FALLS COUNTY FAIR BOARD

Olympics champion Jesse Owens, billed ‘the fastest human alive,’ is seen in september 1938 at the starting line of a race between him and a horse ridden by bernice dean at the Twin Falls County Fairgrounds. Jack Nuzman is the starter.

Jesse Owens races horse at the fair Jesse Owens was only 2 years old when the Twin Falls County Fair — known then as the Southern Idaho Fair — started 100 years ago. Nearly 22 years MYCHEL MATTHEWS later, Owens would run a race against a horse at the race track.

Owens, a black man, won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, upsetting Adolf Hitler’s showcase for his claim of “Aryan racial superiority.” Owens, however, struggled financially because of racial discrimination in his own country, so “the fastest human alive” gave up amateur athletics to put food on his table. He traveled the country for years, racing dogs,

motorcycles and horses. He usually won the horse races because he would make a deal with starter to fire the starting gun close to the horse’s head. The shot would startle his opponent enough to give Owens a head start. “People said it was degrading for an Olympic champion to run against a horse,” Owens said in a 1971 interview, “but what was I supposed to do? I

had four gold medals, but you can’t eat four gold medals.” mychel matthews reports on rural issues and agriculture for the Times-News.
