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.
