TUESDAY, FEB. 14 BUST, continued from Page A1 “The illegal possession and distribution of controlled sub- stances can have many differ- ent faces. It can include those who have a lower economic status and lifestyle to those who have a much higher eco- nomic status and lifestyle. The spectrum can be very broad from those who use, distribute or possess grams or ounces of controlled substances to those who possess and distribute pounds,” Kuhns said. Given the large quantities of many different controlled substances, Birr placed Miser on the upper end of the spec- trum of drug dealers. “The baffl ing things are the weed and the cocaine,” Birr said. “Given the legaliza- tion of recreational marijuana, 40 pounds is a lot of marijua- na. We also rarely see cocaine anymore, most of that has giv- en way to meth. (Miser) had two full kilos of coke and little bit more.” Birr was not able to offer insight into why Miser had the body armor, but said the bust was the largest in the area since the spring of 2016. The KPD Community Response Unit provided manpower to conduct sur- veillance and then execute the search warrants. While the arrest and sei- zure capped the investigation, it isn’t the fi rst time Miser has had run-ins with law en- forcement. In 2011, he was convicted of possession and delivery of marijuana, as well as fi rst-degree theft. Miser served 16 months in prison as a result, according to court records. EYES: Demons, animals, heavenly wars all blamed (Continued from Bage A1) everything from demons to animals to wars between heav- enly bodies as the cause for eclipses of all types. The paths the moon and sun traveled – as well as their seeming conver- gence – worked it’s way into mythology and legend from many cultures. T HE L ORD OF H ANH ’ S T ROUBLEMAKING F ROG In Vietnamese culture, eclipses were attributed to pet of the Lord of Hanh. Accord- ing to legend, a giant frog tried to escape his master when the neighboring lord would fall asleep. The frog would try to swal- low the moon and could only be forced to cough it back up by the Lord of Hanh himself. The ladies of the moon would rush to wake the Lord of Hanh from his slumber, which is why young Vietnam- ese women would beat rice bowls with pestles to summon him when eclipses occurred. Korean cultural eclipse myths took a different spin on this tale in which fi re dogs, called Bul-Gae, were sent to chase down the sun and moon. When they caught their prey, the sun was too hot and the moon too cold to hold for long. Animals swallowing or blotting out the sun during eclipses are frequent imagery in eclipse lore. A G ROTESQUE P UNISHMENT In some Hindu cultures, the solar eclipse has a bloody origin. Based on a Hindu epic, trickster Kala Rau disguises himself to take a drink of an immortality elixir at a banquet of the gods. However Vishnu, one of the supreme deities of Hinduism, is aware of the deception and decapitates Kala Rau before he is able to swallow leaving his head immortal while his body dies. Ever since, Kal Rau’s head has chased the sun and moon across the heavens. When his head catches up, he eats them, but the sun and moon reappear after passing through his throat. H EADS W ILL R OLL In Chinese legend, two royal astrologers were tasked with studying the heavens for omens. It was thought that eclipses were a dragon swallowing the sun and only through the ac- tions of man – including ar- chers fi ring in the direction of the sun and drummers beating their instruments – could it be scared off. When an eclipse escaped the astrologers’ projections, preventing the dragon-deter- ring rituals from taking place, the pair was beheaded. How- ever, the lasting effect was sub- sequent Chinese astrologers taking the issue to heart and calculating eclipse events in greater detail than many cul- tures had before them. C ONTAGIOUS A NGER While eclipses were rarely viewed as good omens, there were some cultures that found hope in their passing. According to the legends of the Batammaliba people in Benin, West Africa, the sun represented the creator God Kiuya, who had left earth for the heavens. When the people of earth began quarreling amongst themselves, and the resent- ments eventually reached the heavens causing the sun and moon to battle. The people began making offerings to Ki- uya and the darkness subsided but, feeling the need to fur- ther appease the heavens, also made offering of peace to their neighbors. In this way, eclipses came to be viewed as a sign of the need for peacemaking. Keizertimes intern Emily Dolph contributed to the reporting in this article.
