Father of the dead

had a knack for making zombies on a shoestring.

What started as a brotherly joke on his sister eerily foreshadowed a fictional nightmare of epic proportions in a western Pennsylvania graveyard.

“They’re coming to get you, Barbra!” Johnny says in a creepy voice, frightening her after visiting their father’s grave.

If only Johnny knew the extent of this, ahem, dead-serious ambush in the cult classic Night of the Living Dead, the original masterpiece by horror master George A. Romero, who passed away in July at age 77. The 1968 shocker flick about flesh-eating corpses — which grossed some $30 million worldwide from a meager $114,000 budget — started the popular zombie genre that continues to grow today. In recent years, especially, the zombie club has exploded with highly popular series like AMC’s The Walking Dead and movies like World War Z. It is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery, but Romero expressed resentment about the modern zombie shows.

He told IndieWire earlier this year that he “used to be the only guy on the zombie playground,” and that the current movies and television shows about the undead were making the zombie genre Hollywood-ized. Romero said he had hoped to do another zombie film with a modest $2 to $3 million, but the big-budget block-

are satisfied with Romero’s oldies from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s, including 1978’s Dead sequel Dawn of the Dead, with box office success that topped the original.

Even if the zombie genre isn’t your thing, Romero created several other horror classics. As a child of the ‘80s, my personal Romero favorites are the campy Creepshow movies. Romero joined forces with famed horror writer Stephen King to make Creepshow (1982) and Creepshow 2 (1987). Romero’s horror anthology combines the macabre and scary with a dark, quirky sense of humor, as is typical for ‘80s campy flicks.

Perhaps Romero’s most notable ability among horror creators was the underlying satire and social commentary he weaved into many seemingly simple films. In Dawn of the Dead, the zombies served as a cartoonish and gory symbol for excessive capitalism and consumption. One also can see a definite, environmentally friendly warning in Night of the Living Dead, since radioactive contamination from a space probe is speculated to have caused the massive global resurrection of evil corpses.

May George A. Romero rest in peace. And if someone wants to Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images honor his legacy by making another low-budget undead movie, George A. Romero featuring an actor playing films does not tarnish the creative Romero’s own bodily zombie — busters ruined his chances.

But a lack of modern opportu- genius’ legacy. Who needs a new well, he probably would feel honnities for more Romero zombie zombie film anyway? Retro lovers ored.

MATT ROUSH: The odds are against it, since the show was produced in partnership with ABC, which would require some tricky negotiations to continue. For those who'd like to spend more time in this world, Netflix is streaming three seasons of Gran Hotel, the Spanish series that inspired it. I hear it's fun.

QUESTION: How can Yellowstone not get nominated for any Emmys? --Greg MATT ROUSH: Maybe next year, when Game of Thrones is no longer around, shows on smaller outlets like Paramount Network will get more of a chance. The stock answer is that, even with an Oscarwinning star like Kevin Costner as a beacon, there are just way too many shows competing for a small number of slots.

QUESTION: The series finale of Suits was one of the best series finale of any TV show ever! --Mike MATT ROUSH: Few things are more satisfying than for a long-running show to end on its own terms and fashion a finale that gives viewers what they want, with maybe a surprise or two. Bravo to Suits for going out on a high.

Henry Winkler takes the stage in new season of “Inside The Actors Studio”

By KELLIE FREEZE For over two decades, Inside the Actors Studio, the venerable acting master class created by James Lipton, has welcomed actors, directors and writers to share the secrets of their craft. After Lipton’s September 2018 retirement, the series moved to Ovation, where now rotating guest hosts will interview Hollywood notables about their works and methods. The new season premieres Sunday, Oct. 13 with current Actors Studio co-president Alec Baldwin interviewing Henry Winkler.

When we talked to Winkler, the actor admitted that when he got the invitation from Ovation, “I thought, ‘See? You sit at the table long enough and all the chips come to you.’” He laughs, echoing a line from his 2018 Emmy acceptance speech after being awarded Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role of Gene Cousineau on Barry. “I thought it was swell.”

In his episode, Winkler is led by Baldwin down memory lane from his boyhood — where he struggled academically due to undiagnosed dyslexia — through his early TV appearances, including an overly earnest dinner guest on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, his breakout role as greaser Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli on Happy Days and his career resurgence on the HBO comedy Barry.

As he reminisces, Winkler shares stories and anecdotes, but focuses his attention on explaining the skills that he’s developed throughout his career — particu-

Henry Winkler and Alec Baldwin interact with an audience member during Ovation's Inside The Actors Studio at Sheen Center on April 4 in New York City. larly how he built confidence and an instinct for risk-taking when creating characters — in the hopes of inspiring the next generation of thespians. After all, Winkler points out that taking risks led to him being cast in his most iconic role.

“They weren’t looking for me for Arthur Fonzarelli,” he says. “They were looking for a large Italian, and they got a short Jew. They don’t know what they’re looking for all the time. You have to show them, you have to tell them, ‘I’m who you’re looking for.’”

Winkler says the best part of his Inside the Actors Studio experience was sitting on the lip of the stage and fielding questions from the audience of young actors, directors

and playwrights. “It’s one of my favorite things I’ve done in my entire career,” he shares. “I always wished somebody who had been through it would have talked to me and said, ‘It’s going to be OK.’” Now that Winkler has been a guest, he says that if his schedule would allow, he’d love to return as a guest host. His wish list of interviewees includes “Olivia Colman, Helen Mirren and Judi Dench. And since you asked, I would like to interview a lot of musicians, because they’re also actors when they sing their songs. Ryan Gosling, I think Ryan Gosling is just great. And Brad Pitt, the evolution of Brad Pitt to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is just magnificent.”

News

Creme de la Weird It started out innocently enough. A road-tripping couple stopped in Grosse Tete, Louisiana, on Sept.

18 to let their deaf pup relieve himself. As they stretched their legs, they wandered over to the Tiger Truck Stop petting zoo and an enclosure that’s home to Caspar the Camel, and the man started throwing treats inside. But when their dog breached the fence to get at the treats, the woman, ignoring “No Trespassing” signs, followed. As she chased the dog, her husband shoved the camel and swatted him with his hat.

That’s when Caspar lost his cool, settling his 600pound camel booty right on top of the woman; she told officers from the Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office that she did the only thing she could do: “I bit his balls to get him off of me.” Deputy Louis Hamilton Jr. cited the couple for leash law violations and criminal trespassing, siding with Caspar: “The camel did nothing wrong,” Hamilton told The Advocate. “The camel has never been aggressive.” A veterinarian treated the camel with antibiotics after the incident.

Can’t Possibly Be True

A Trumbull County (Ohio) sheriff’s deputy pulled over an Amish buggy on Donley Road early on the morning of Sept. 15 after the officer noticed a few oddities about the vehicle. For one, there were two Amish men inside who were drinking,

and on the buggy’s roof rode a 12-pack of beer.

And, according to Fox 8, the old-fashioned conveyance sported an unlikely modern convenience: a stereo system with large speakers. As soon as the buggy came to a stop, the two men jumped out and escaped into heavy woods near the road. Meanwhile, the horse, trailing the buggy, took off. The officer was able to catch up with the horse and have the buggy towed; the drivers were still at large. The buggy “is a vehicle, it’s on the roadway and the ... laws do apply,” said Chief Deputy Joe Dragovich. “You’re not allowed to drink and drive or operate a buggy.”

Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time

— The Tennessee Titans were all fired up for their NFL home opener on Sept. 15 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. Accordingly, so was some of their pyrotechnic equipment — which caught fire during player introductions, spreading flames and thick, black smoke near one end zone.

According to Bleacher Report, no one was hurt, and flames were extinguished quickly. But the NFL, taking its usual proactive stance, placed a ban on “all flame effects and pyrotechnics used on its playing fields” until an investigation can be completed.

— Police arrived at the home of Vernelle Jackson, 83, in Norway, Maine, on Sept. 17, inquiring about

OF THE

the whereabouts of another unnamed woman in her 80s who had reportedly lived with Jackson. As police excavated the back yard and the story unfolded, Jackson admitted to authorities and WMTW News 8 that she was the one who buried the woman, about 18 months ago. “She begged me when she passed away that she didn’t have enough insurance to bury her, and I don’t have it. And she said, ‘Will you promise me to bury me in your yard so I’ll be close?’ ... I finally agreed to do it to satisfy her,” Jackson explained. “I put her in a tarp. I didn’t carry her. I have COPD. I couldn’t breathe that good.” She was surprised to learn that she would have needed a permit to legally bury her friend in her yard, and she’s still unclear whether she’s in trouble with the law. The State Medical Examiner’s office is working to ID the body and determine the cause of death.

Least Competent Criminals

Two football-crazed fans of Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes couldn’t quite pull off a heist in Lawrence, Kansas, on Sept.

16. Pulling up to a McDonald’s, the two ran inside, grabbed a life-size cardboard cutout of Mahomes

Weird

and ran out, stuffing the promotional piece into their car.

Lawrence Police spokesman Patrick Compton told the Lawrence Journal-World that as they received the call about the theft, they were working a car crash nearby — in which one of the vehicles just happened to have a Mahomes cutout in the back seat. Officers questioned the suspects and ordered them to appear for alleged theft. Flat Pat was returned to the McDonald’s.

Bright Idea

Paul Nixon, 51, is sought in Harris County, Texas, on charges of felony aggravated perjury after taking a novel approach to divorce. Nixon filed for divorce in February but forged his wife’s signature and the name of a notary on the legal papers, the New York Post reported. A judge declared the divorce final in April — but the wife didn’t find out until May, when she noticed strange spending habits of his. “She started finding things showing that he was spending money on jewelry, so she confronted him and he told her that they were actually divorced,” Constable Mark Herman said. “They are still married. The fraudulent divorce papers have been retracted.”

Minot (N.D.) Daily News, TRADING POST, October 15, 2019 3 BOOKREVIEWS

‘19th Christmas’ a good fit for mysteries and chick-lit fans

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL Emile Galle is a famous artist, a leader of the Art Nouveau movement in France in the mid-1800s.

He started his art while working at his father’s furniture and pottery factory.

By 1877, he managed the factory and started making clear glass. He soon developed a style of his own making vases of heavy, opaque colored glass in layers that he carved into plants and flowers. He called it cameo glass. In 1878, his exhibit at the Paris Exhibition made him famous, and he promoted Art Nouveau designs in his glass and in the marquetry on his furniture. By 1885, he founded a workshop for furniture and made pottery. Many modern collectors only know about Galle’s cameo glass, yet his pottery and furniture are often sold at shows and auctions. Furniture can be identified by the script name “Galle” as part of the marquetry design. The heavy faience (pottery) vases have thick walls, curved patterns and rounded edges and rims.

Each is colorful and decorated with natural shapes of plant life. But little is written about his seated faience. Each cat is about 12 inches high and 7 inches wide. Most are glazed yellow, although some are blue, black or green with small scattered hearts and circles as decorations. A few have elaborate drawings of flowers covering the body. Every cat had glass eyes and a grin. Morphy Auctions sold a signed pair of yellow Galle figurines with scattered hearts and circles on a yellow background for $1,476 despite minor damage. At first glance they look like two cats, but one is a frowning bulldog. We wonder why cats are almost the only animal figure he made.

Q. I have a picture of Tom Mix that was signed personally to my uncle Ronald. Might this have any value?

Handwritten, signed letters usually sell for the most money, an autograph on a piece of paper or card, or cut from a document, for the least.

(AP) — James Patterson's newest book, written with Maxine Paetro, is like the socks your favorite aunt gave you a few years ago in your Christmas stocking.

"The 19th Christmas" is comfort underneath its cover.

Sticking with the fuzzy socks analogy, this book is a good fit for fans of mysteries and chick-lit. It's not high gloss or terribly stylish (definitely not Instagram worthy), but on those nights when you need a reliable companion, there's nothing that you crave more.

Balancing her family and her job at the San Francisco Police Department, Sgt. Lindsay Boxer tries to have it all for the holidays. She's running from a serious crime scene — a cop was shot and the suspect is dead — to tree-trimming with her toddler.

But this is, at its core, a feel-good novel, even with its blood, guts and bodies piling up. There's no way the criminal mastermind, known only as "Loman," is going to ruin that.

Oh, he tries: Loman has sacrificial "friends," a plot to assume a new identity with a hefty offshore bank and an almost entirely frozen heart.

It turns out, though, he has a soft spot for his wife.

Christmas is her birthday, and when he screws up his own greedy plan, he can't let her take the fall.

He would let the snitches on his payroll do that, even his long-time as-

"The 19th Christmas" (Little, Brown and Co.)

by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro sociate (Dare we call him a "friend"?). He wasn't going to let his "Bunny" rot in her orange jail jumpsuit, though.

Interestingly, Bunny — aka Imogene — is probably the most complex character in the book. She thinks she's the housewife of a middleclass jewelry salesman, not a criminal mastermind.

When she finds out otherwise, she doesn't take it well.

Neither does the heroine Lindsay, of course. But she's gotten a little hard around the edges and isn't so sure of her priorities.

It's a good thing she has her posse, including friends in the district attorney and medical examiner offices, and an investigative reporter — and a great New Year's Eve around the corner.

MUSICREVIEWS

Micheal Sweet goes to 11 on ‘Ten’ (AP) — It's called "Ten," but this goes to 11.

This album is among the best work Michael Sweet has ever done, and that's saying quite a bit given his nine previous solo albums and extensive discography with the trailblazing Christian heavy metal band Stryper.

It almost seems like the high-octave vocalist and guitar maniac is keeping '80s heavy metal alive all on his own, given his frenetic output and the consistent quality of each release.

His 10th solo album begins with a heavy dose of transplanted Stryper DNA on "Better Part of Me," which is built around the intro riff from 1986's "More Than A Man." It's remarkable how well Sweet's voice has held up over nearly four decades, with scant rest between discs and tours.

A time-honored tradition of '80s metal is the power ballad, and no one does them better than Sweet. This time it's "Let It Be Love," a worthy successor to the MTV smash "Honestly" and

Michael Sweet, "Ten" (Rat Pak) 1990's "Lady."

Sweet also brings in a truckload of metal friends, including cameos from members of Whitesnake, L.A. Guns, Fozzy and Arch Enemy. "Son of Man," a duet with Todd La Torre of Queensryche, is everything a heavy metal song should be: fast-paced, drum-heavy and with unfathomably shredding guitar by Andy James.

It sounds like what might be expected if Sweet sang with Motorhead while Yngwie Malmsteen played guitar.

It all adds up: "Ten" is easily one of the best hard rock albums of 2019.

Apples, the jewels of fall

4 Minot (N.D.) Daily News, TRADING POST, October 15, 2019

It’s early October. I’m standing by an overloaded apple tree that has clusters of blushing globes, moderately large, with an inflamed tone that fades to rose. A close look reveals their streaked underside canvas that features the primary colors of red and green – not to be ignored are the spectacular hues of pink and lime. On these delicious spheres are many colors waiting to be featured as bridesmaids’ dresses.

We all know that getting bridesmaids to the church on time is important but getting apples from the tree to our kitchen on time is also important. When is the perfect time to harvest apples?

Do you wait until the first frost? Many claim apples are sweeter after a cold snap and the longer they remain on the branch, the richer their color and taste becomes.

My dad enjoyed apple trees and planted several of them in his lifetime. His rule was to wait until the first frost and then start to harvest. This later harvest sometimes meant that apples could be left on the tree because mother nature can turn quickly cold and time for picking simply ran out.

There is a beauty of seeing a ruby red ball on a blanket of white and birds enjoy them as well.

These days I pick apples as soon as they are deeply red and often this can be before the first frost. This allows for plenty of time to simmer apples on the stove – who doesn’t like this scent?

Apple crisp, pies and bars can be enjoyed in early autumn. I will admit that apples after the first frost are sweeter but waiting to harvest all of them at the last minute is frustrating. So

now you know what I think about those apples.

Haralson apples are a favorite apple to be grown here in North Dakota, and they do well with our weather conditions. The Haralson apple was developed at the University of Minnesota in 1913. These apples are a great choice for pies, eating and cooking.

Here in North Dakota we tend to like things that are easy to deal with as well as a multi-purpose variety – this is Haralson. These apples turn a beautiful red and their round-conic shape makes them perfect to place in a copper bowl as your fall centerpiece.

It is fun to try different apples that are available in the grocery store. Granny Smith is another favorite – pale green, fairly tart, crisp, juicy and certainly all purpose. Have you tried a Winter Banana? I see them from time to time here in the Midwest. They often large, clear waxy yellow skin with a pink blush; mildly sweet, medium crisp, juicy and per-

Yes, there is an art to the perfectly peeled egg

NEW YORK (AP) — I love eating deviled eggs and egg salad, but I had been avoiding making either because it was so much trouble peeling the eggs. I researched the subject online and tried many of the techniques that promised perfectly smooth eggs. I even went so far as to purchase an egg holder for my pressure cooker. None of these “a-ha” techniques were any better than the way I’ve always boiled eggs.

Peeling them was a struggle, and they were left looking pockmarked and homely.

Then this summer, I vis- BY ELIZABETH KARMEL ited my friend Kirsten. She had a dozen perfectly peeled eggs in her refrigerator. I thought maybe she had succumbed to buying the massmarket boiled and peeled eggs. But no.

Her secret — which I’m now revealing — is that you crack the egg on the bottom (that’s the egg’s larger side, Elizabeth Karmel is a grilling, barwhile the top is the more becue and Southern foods expert, pointed side). I had always and the author of four cookbooks, including the newly released cracked my hard-boiled eggs “Steak and Cake.” on the side.

When I got home, I boiled a dozen eggs to make egg salad, tried cracking the eggs on the bottom, and it was a game changer. The eggs were much easier to peel, but it still took too long to peel them. So the next time I made boiled eggs, I went rogue and didn’t cool the eggs down first. I realized that cooling down the eggs was the only common denominator with my hard-to-peel eggs.

I was taught that you have to pour out the hot water that the eggs were boiled in and immediately cover them with cold water to prevent them from turning gray around the yolk. This may be true, but I discovered that it also makes the shell stick to the eggs. I decided to see what would happen if I peeled the eggs while they were still hot. I put on my kitchen gloves and started peeling. I cracked the bottom of the egg as Kirsten instructed me, and the egg shells literally slipped off. I peeled a dozen eggs in under five minutes. A few of the eggs did have a gray cast to the yolk, but once I sliced them and mixed them up in egg salad, you couldn’t see it.

So here’s my simple method for “easy-to-peel eggs”: Fill a heavy-duty 4-quart pot with cold water. Gently place eggs in the pot. Bring the water to a boil and cover the pot. Turn the heat off and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Work on the Fourth Avenue floodwalls, shown this fall, is among construction projects ongoing in the Mouse River Enhanced Flood Protection Project.

City council looks into limiting construction noise

Construction season has its annoyances, and some Minot residents are finding that noise is one of them.

The Minot City Council recently took the matter of construction noise under advisement, directing staff to look into potential remedies or ordinance changes and bring back recommendations in early 2020.

“This particular issue, construction, particularly noise-related nuisances, has come to me in three separate occasions this summer,” said council member Josh Wolsky, who brought up the issue at a council meeting.

“I completely appreciate the fact that we have a short summer season, and we have many, many construction needs, and it is impossible to make everybody happy at all times. But my larger concerns are construction-related noises taking place outside of times that I would consider reasonable construction hours.”

Noise in the evenings and early morning areas in residential hours is not acceptable, Wolsky said. He suggested tightening up a noise ordinance that makes exceptions for construction.

He cited an instance in which strong feelings about construction noise led to a heated encounter in City Hall recently.

“So I’ve seen firsthand the impact that these types of circumstances are having on our citizens, and I want us to take some proactive steps to address it,” he said.

Council members report one complaint about noise from a private construction project but more complaints are arising from city projects, such as pounding from bridge construction or the noise of heavy equipment on the river levees. The noise from generators or from nonstop dewatering systems has been a concern of neighbors.

“We’re going to have a generation of construction, at least with the flood project. I think we need to pay attention to this,” council member Stephan Podrygula said.

In reviewing information from staff about other cities’ ordinances, Podrygula said he was struck by fines as low as $150 per violation. A fine of that amount is not a deterrence, he said. Also, the easiest way to address the problem may be through setting up priorities and limits during the permitting process, he said.

To address the noise of portable generators, hooking into an existing electric line to run power to a construction site might be a better solution, Podrygula added.

“But again, the bottom line for me is I think we really do have to pay attention to this, and I don’t think the shortness of the construction season should be an excuse for really driving people crazy,” he said.

Mayor Shaun Sipma defended the need for construction to occur at inopportune times due to weather, safety or to avoid inconveniencing people in other ways. He also stressed the need to remain a business-friendly community in relation to private construction projects.

“Absolutely, I think there’s a reasonable place where cause and concern could take place, and some of it can be avoided, but we also do have to absolutely understand that there are going to be circumstances in cases where 24 hours a day has to take place,” Sipma said.

“More specific to the valley with the flood control that is going on, we do have to keep moving forward as fast as we can, and that, in some circumstances, is going to disrupt some of our lives. I would like to think it’s not going to disrupt it more than 2011 did.”

Council member Josh Wolsky said the location raises concern because it formerly housed a laundromat and dry cleaners. He also voiced concern that the $6 million in National Disaster Resilience grant money from HUD will not be enough to develop the gathering space.

One of the property owners at Site 2, Ryan and Jessica Ackerman, had appeared before the council previously to suggest swapping the gathering place money with sales tax dollars for flood protection property acquisition. The NDR money could be used for additional acquisitions while the city would proceed to use sales tax to develop a gathering space without NDR constraints.

Wolsky questioned whether this option has been considered.

John Zakian, resilience program manager, said he believes $6 million is adequate for the project.

“Until we truly have a site that will then allow us to do a design, we actually don’t know what the ultimate costs are going to be,” he said. However, he mentioned other gathering spaces in the country built for $6 million to $8 million.

“As we stand here today, I am not uncomfortable that we have sufficient money to do the gathering space that the public deserves and wants,” he said.

As for the alternate funding plan, Zakian said the benefits to the acquisition program would be insignificant but the risk of needing another time-consuming substantial amendment to the NDR plan exists. He added a change also could negatively affect the percentage of the project benefiting low- to moderate-income residents.

The project is currently at 60% but changes could cause it to go below the required 51%, he said.

Mayor Shaun Sipma cautioned against moving sales tax dollars to a gathering place. Legislators watch the local allocation to flood protection when they decide on state assistance, he said.

“If we start diverting money from our need of flood control, it is going to set a very, very, very bad precedent for us politically,” Sipma said.

Wolsky also raised concern that use of the Trinity parking lot for a gathering place keeps prime development property off the tax rolls. A similar piece of property along Broadway generates about $116,000 a year in taxes, he said. In addition, he said, moving to another site dampens the entrepreneurial spirit flourishing downtown.

“It can kind of be like a cold bucket of water in some respects,” he said. “I am concerned that this move to this other location is going to have some unintended and some very difficult to gauge consequences.”

Wolsky suggested there may be ways to reduce the footprint of the gathering space from the proposed two acres to 1.5 acres, preserve some of the buildings and meet HUD requirements.

Council member Shannon Straight said the public isn’t interested in Site 1. He urged pushing forward with Site 2 because the question of what is cost reasonable hasn’t been answered.

“I really just don’t want any more egg on the city’s face because we don’t have all these answers fleshed out,” he said. “I don’t necessarily feel we are learning anything from the process. We are just quickly moving on.”

“I don’t think the city has to be embarrassed by this,” council member Stephan Podrygula said. “If there’s any egg, it’s on the federal government and the complexity of the HUD guidelines and the inflexibility of the government. ... It’s turning out to be much more challenging and much more complicated than anybody ever expected.”

Wolsky and Straight voted against moving to a new site. Voting for the change in site were Pitner, Podrygula, Sipma, Lisa Olson and Mark Jantzer. Jantzer and Straight participated in the meeting remotely.

A Trinity Health parking lot at the corner of Broadway and Third Avenue Southwest, shown last Friday, is back in consideration for a downtown gathering space.

City to pursue new gathering place location

In moving on to a new gathering place location, the City of Minot plans to approach Trinity Health about potential purchase of a parking lot next to Broadway.

The Minot City Council voted 5-2 to pursue a new site after negotiations fell through with the seven property owners at another downtown location near the Parker Center. Negotiations stalled with two owners, and two others declined to sell, according to the city.

“I think we just hit a roadblock or hurdle that we can’t overcome as a city with the restrictions that we have,” council member Paul Pitner said. “The cost-reasonableness dilemma seems to be the big sticking point.”

The city made offers totaling around $890,000, and counter offers came to $1.78 million, which is beyond what the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development would accept as reasonable in comparison to the cost of other potential gathering sites.

An estimated assessed value on the Trinity property is $830,000. The property currently is not taxed or assessed.

The city’s next step is to see if Trinity is interested in selling. If so, the city would do an environmental assessment on the property.

Second annual ‘Night at the Museum’ planned

Famous aviators and others in aviation of the past are back for the second annual “Night at the Museum” hangar dance set for Oct. 26 in the Dakota Territory Air Museum’s Flying Legends Hangar in Minot. The dance will be from 7 p.m.-midnight.

Robin Brekhus, air museum events coordinator, said skits will be done every hour. The skits will be on Florence Lowe “Poncho” Barnes, Oswin “Moose” Elker, and Don Lopez Sr. and his plane “Lope’s Hope.” There will also be a skit about Elker and Lopez who were close

friends and flew together in the 75th Fighter Squadron in China.

Barnes was a pioneer aviator and founder of the first movie stunt pilots’ union.

Elker, of Surrey, served in World War II with the 75th Fighter Squadron of the Flying Tigers in the 14th Air Force Division in China and India. A major benefactor of the air museum, the Oswin Elker Wing was named in his honor.

Lopez was a World War II fighter pilot ace who later became deputy director of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. “Lope’s Hope 3rd,” a P-51C, and a P-40 are displayed in the air museum. Both Elker and Lopez flew planes like these in World War II. Other people who will be portrayed during the evening include Rosie the Riveter, an icon of World War II who represented the women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II, and Orville and Wilbur Wright, aviation pioneers.

Those attending are encouraged to dress in golden age costumes or any era of flight, Brekhus said. The golden age was in the 1920s and 1930s between the two wars when Americans were very enthused about aviation and that time period became known as the Golden Age of Flight. A prize will be awarded for the best men’s and women’s costumes.

“They don’t have to dress like an aviator but could portray another person such as Howard Hughes,” Brekhus added. Hughes was an American businessman, pilot and film director.

Brekhus said anyone who prefers not to dress in flightera costumes and/or prefers not to dance are welcome to attend as well. Those attending must be 21 or older.

Music will be provided by DJ Steve Geller of Minot.

There will be a silent auction. Food and refreshments will be available by Little Chicago Pub District and Monty’s Barbecue.

Tickets are $20 for singles and $35 for couples.

Tickets are available at the door or at www.dakotaterritoryairmuseum.com.Tickets are also available by calling Brekhus at 520-234-3901 or emailing her at dtamevents@gmail.com.

For all attending she said, “Just enjoy the evening.”

Bradley Morales wants to represent himself at re-trial for murder

Bradley Joe Morales, 29, wants to represent himself at his re-trial in the August 2017 stabbing death of his exgirlfriend.

A hearing was held last Wednesday in district court in Minot before Judge Doug Mattson, who asked that Morales submit a written brief to the court outlining why he should be allowed to represent himself. Mattson directed that Morales was to receive the assistance of his court-appointed attorneys in subMorales mitting the brief.

Ashley Gulke, who was appointed to represent Morales, told Mattson that Morales has a constitutional right to represent himself if he chooses to do so. She said Morales is intelligent and has pointed out case law to her that seems to be on point.

Mattson noted that Morales’s behavior was problematic during his first trial for Class AA felony murder.

Mattson said Morales interrupted Mattson at different points during the first trial in May 2018 and had to be returned to the jail for brief periods to calm down before the trial could resume. If Morales represents himself at the second trial, Mattson said he will need to “conduct himself as an attorney with proper decorum.”

Morales has a history of being unhappy with his courtappointed attorneys. On this occasion, he is apparently unhappy that Gulke has not gotten more done on his case. Mattson told Morales that Gulke was only recently appointed, she has filed motions for court transcripts and other materials and has been familiarizing herself with his case.

In court on Wednesday, Morales told the judge that he believes there are evidentiary issues that should be raised prior to his second trial.

Gulke said Morales takes the position that one of the witnesses at the last trial lied on the stand and her testimony contradicted what was seen on the video played for the jury.

Mattson said the supreme court did not find any problems with the evidence when they ordered a re-trial and this second trial will not be a complete redo.

The supreme court decided in July that Morales must be granted a new trial because Mattson had violated his constitutional right to a public trial by closing the courtroom on different occasions before and during the trial without first considering alternatives.

Morales had been found guilty by a jury at the first trial and Mattson had later sentenced him to 40 years in prison.

The Best Stock?

Q A

What’s the best all-around stock? — L.D., online There’s no single perfect stock, and if you’re going to invest in individual stocks, you’ll need to invest in more than one, anyway. Otherwise, you’ll have too many eggs in one basket — and even the sturdiest baskets can tip over. Remember that it used to be unthinkable that companies such as Sears, General Motors, Eastman Kodak and Texaco would ever go bankrupt.

That said, many companies make better investments than othoth ers, and blue chips in particular are well worth considering. A “blue estab chip” company is one that’s established and relatively stable, with a solid track record — and, very often, a dividend that’s increased regularly. Examples include BerkBerk John shire Hathaway, Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, Nike, Walt Disney, Starbucks and the Home Depot.

There’s a strong argument that the best all-around investment for long-term investors is simply a low-fee broad-market index fund, as it will spread your money across gobs of blue chips and other stocks. *** If I invest in stocks via dividend reinvestment plans (“Drips”) or direct investing plans, do I need to keep all the paperwork?

— S.W., Bremerton, Washington Yup. Those plans can be great, letting you bypass brokerages and invest in comcom panies directly, but you’ll need to keep good records — of your purchases, sales and reinvested dividends — for tax purposes.

It can be worth it, though: You can avoid brokerage commission costs when buying shares, invest small amounts at a time and have your dividends reinvested in additional stock; over time, that can turn into large sums.

Fool’s School

When To Consult a Professional If your lawn needs mowing or a skirt needs hemming, you might tackle that yourself. But when you need a tooth removed or a new alternator installed, you probprob ably go straight to a profesprofes sional. When it comes to your finances, it’s smart to consult a professional: • If you’re buying or selling a home, professional guidance might help you save tens of thousands of dollars. For example, some taxsmart moves can shield part of any gain from taxation.

• If you’re getting married, you have many issues to consider, such as how to manage your separate and/ or joint finances. You may come out ahead by filing your taxes jointly, or adding one spouse to the other’s health insurance plan.

• If you’re getting divorced, there may be some smart financial moves to make now or later. An adviser

can also answer questions such as whether you can still file taxes jointly this year.

• If you’re having children, you should look into what kinds of savings accounts to set up for their future needs. Getting life insurance is smart, too.

• If you’re saving for college, there are a bunch of programs and savings tools you’ll want to know about.

• If you’re considering buying a complex financial product, such as disability insurance, long-term care insurance or an annuity, an adviser can lay out your options and help you decide what to do.

• If you don’t have a retirement plan, you should — even if you’re still young — and an adviser can help you with that. The earlier you start, the easier it will be to build a big nest egg.

Financial advisers can be extremely helpful in many other situations, such as if you need an estate plan, or you inherit money. Ask around for recommendations from family or friends, or find a fee-only financial NAPFA.org adviser at NAPFA.org.

I trace my roots back to the 1963 opening of my first store, in Lowell, MassachuMassachusetts. I grew to more locations and added pharmacy departdepartments in 1967. I bought more than 2,500 stores from Revco in 1997 and acquired 1,268 Eckerd stores in 2004. I debuted the first fully integrated online pharmacy in 1999. Today, based in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, I’m the product of a merger with Caremark Rx. I employ close to 300,000 people in the U.S. and beyond and raked in nearly $200 billion in 2018.

The Motley Fool Take

Double Blunder

Infrastructure Investing

My dumbest investment was investing in Helios and Matheson Analytics, the company behind MoviePass.

Another dumb move was buying Novavax at around $2.30 per share (before a reverse split that boosted its price) and then doubling down after its failed clinical trial. — P.D., online The Fool Responds: Ouch.

MoviePass presented a problematic business model, essentially giving away more than it took in when it offered subscribers the ability to see unlimited movies in theaters for $9.95 per month. The company, meanwhile, was paying retail prices for those seats its subscribers were filling. The nail in the coffin was when movie theater owners such as AMC launched rival, and more profitable, services.

Vaccine developer Novavax is another story, and a volatile one.

Your first red flag was its share price: Stocks trading for less than about $5 per share are penny stocks. They may look like bargains, but they’re often on shaky ground, more likely to head south than north. Reverse splits are another red flag, as their primary purpose is to increase a stock’s price (while reducing the number of shares outstanding, proportionately), and they’re typically executed by struggling companies.

In Novavax’s case, its shares had traded below $1 per share for 30 consecutive days, and the Nasdaq Stock Market warned that it would be de-listed if it didn’t get its price back up above $1. The reverse split achieved that. (The stock was recently trading near $6.75.) trading

Name That Company

My Dumbest Investment

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (NYSE: BIP), as its name implies, focuses on infrastructure assets.

These assets include cell towers, electricity transmission lines, natural gas pipelines, ports, railroads and toll roads — the kinds of properties that provide steady revenue month in and month out. Brookfield uses about 65% of that income to pay an above-average dividend that recently yielded 4.2%. (Brookfield is also structured as a limited partnerpartner ship, which means its tax treatment is different from and a bit more complicated than common stocks.)

In the decade or so since its formation, Brookfield has grown its cash flow per share at an 18% compound annual rate, enabling it to increase its dividend at an 11% yearly pace over that period.

Brookfield has enough expansion projects and other growth initiatives under way to increase its payout by 5% to 9% annually over the next five years, making it an excellent option for yield-seeking investors.

That’s because Brookfield’s businesses deliver consistent and predictable income in just about any economic environment. They’re critical to modern life, and are going to be even more in demand as the global urban middle class expands.

Brookfield’s shares may not be screaming bargains right now, but they seem priced to reward patient long-term investors. (The Motley Fool has recommended Brookfield Infrastructure Partners.)
