>> COMING UP NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON, A BETTER THAN EXPECTED INFLATION REPORT NATIONALLY, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PHOENIX AREA?

WE'LL CRUNCH THE NUMBERS AND LATER IN THE HOUR, HOW ONE VALLEY COMPARES ONE RATE WITH THEIR NEIGHBOR'S.

>> Ted: GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

MAJOR STATE-WIDE POLITICAL RACES REMAIN TOO CLOSE TO CALL WITH MORE THAN 600,000 BALLOTS TO BE COUNTED WITH TWO-THIRDS IN MARICOPA COUNTY.

AMONG THOSE OUTSTANDING BALLOTS ARE 275,000 EARLIER BALLOTS DROPPED OFF IN-PERSON ON ELECTION DAY ALONG WITH ANOTHER 80,000 CAST IN-PERSON OVER THE WEEKEND.

THE NEXT BIG BALLOT DROPS IN MARICOPA AND PIMA ARE EXPECTED WITH RURAL COUNTIES CONTINUING TO REPORT SPORADICALLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

>>> THE CONSUMER PRICE FOR THE YEAR IS A LOT, BUT IT'S LESS THAN THE 8.2% THE PREVIOUS MONTH WOULD SUGGEST THAT INFLATION IS STARTING TO EASE.

CORE INFLATION WHICH STRIPS OUT FUEL IS 6.3% AND THAT WAS DOWN FROM 6.6% THE PREVIOUS MONTH.

WITH CLOTHING FALLING IN OCTOBER.

THAT SAID, THE PHOENIX AREA HAS THE HIGHEST RATE THAN ANY LARGE METRO AREA AND CONSUMER PRICES DIPPED .9% AND THE LOCAL INFLATION RATE IS 12.1% WITH HOUSING COSTS, ESPECIALLY RENT PRICES, THE MAIN DRIVERS.

TODAY'S OVERALL INFLATION GOT WALL STREET BIG TIME AND THE DOW FINISHED THE DAY UP 1200 POINTS OR 3.7% FOR THE BIGGEST ONE-DAY GAIN IN TWO YEARS.

SIMILAR STORY FOR THE S&P 500 WHICH JUMPED 5% AND THE NASDAQ WHICH INCREASED 6 PERFORMANCE 6 6%.

>>> SOME ECONOMISTS SAYING CONSUMER PRICES ARE STARTING TO BE TAMED AND THE PHOENIX AREA HAS THE HIGHEST INFLATION RATE FOR LARGE CITIES AND THAT NUMBER EASED A BILL LAST MONTH.

JOINING US TO TALK ABOUT ENCOURAGING NUMBERS IS ASU ECONOMIST DENNIS HOFFMAN AND ARE YOU SURPRISED BY TODAY'S REPORT?

>> A LITTLE.

I FELT THIS WAS COMING AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WOULD COME QUITE THIS QUICKLY.

AND I'M NOT SURE YET, BY THE WAY.

SO, YOU KNOW, THE INFLATION DRAGON IS NOT THAT IN-DEPTH AND I THINK THE WAY YOU DESCRIBED ARIZONA NUMBERS OR PHOENIX NUMBERS, THERE'S NOT MUCH CHANGE FROM WHAT WE'VE SEEN, BUT A LITTLE BIT OF GOOD NEWS INSTEAD OF BAD NEWS NATIONALLY.

WALL STREET, OBVIOUSLY LIKED IT.

WHAT DRIVES WALL STREET IS A PUZZLE AND THEY LIKE THESE NUMBERS.

>> Ted: THE INCREASE IS ARE AND BETTER THAN IT GOING UP AGAIN AND WE HAVE THAT GOING FOR US AND WHY?

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES AND WHAT THE FED IS DOING AND IS THAT KICKING IN AND WHAT'S HAPPENING OUT THERE, DENNIS?

>> YES.

THE FED IS DOING ITS JOB AND ESPECIALLY DOING ITS JOB IN THE AREA OF THE REAL ESTATE SECTOR AND HOUSING PRICES AND THAT TRANSLATES INTO SHELTER IN THE CPI AND THAT'S GOING TO BE SLOWER TO CHANGE BECAUSE IT'S RENTS OF THE HOUSES AND NOT JUST HOUSING SELLING PRICES.

SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO EXPLAIN THIS IN TWO DIFFERENT LOOKS.

SO THINK ABOUT THE PRICE OF YOUR HOUSE.

THAT IS NOT -- OR IF YOU SOLD YOUR HOUSE, THAT'S NOT WHAT'S SHOWING UP IN THE CTI.

IT'S WHAT IT WOULD COST TO RENT YOUR HOUSE BASED ON SURVEYS OF RENNERS.

RENTERS.

WHAT I'M SEEING IN PHOENIX, OF COURSE, ARE THE 25%, 30% OFF OVER THE LAST YEAR AND ONCE WE GET TO DECEMBER, TED, HOUSING PRICE INFLATION, THAT WILL BE ZERO BECAUSE YOU COULD GET A HOUSE THIS DECEMBER FOR WHAT YOU GOT, AT LEAST MEDIAN PRICE, A YEAR AGO DECEMBER.

AND THAT WILL BEGIN OVER TIME TO TRANSLATE INTO THIS COST OF SHELTER AND WE'LL SEE THIS COME DOWN.

STARTED TO COME DOWN A LITTLE BIT BUT WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT RELIEF HERE AND THERE.

>> Ted: INTERESTING.

I SAW THAT THERE WAS A DECLINE IN MEDICAL CARE COSTS, USED CAR PRICES AND THOSE HAVE GONE DOWN, AS WELL.

WE KEEP HEARING ABOUT THE FED THIS AND THAT AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES COULD BE A PART OF THIS.

AM I WRONG?

>> A PART IS THE WHAT THEY MEASURE IT AND I WON'T TAKE YOUR AUDIENCE INTO THE WEEDS AND DROWN EVERYBODY AND HOW THEY CALCULATE THE CPI.

IT'S SURVEY BASED AND SOME OF IS HEALTHCARE COMPANIES AND THEY TRANSLATE THOSE INTO HEALTHCARE AND IT GETS PRETTY MURKY, BUT YES, USED CAR PRICES ARE DOWN AND ACTUALLY, DOWN KIND OF MONTH OVER MONTH.

THEY'RE UP YEAR OVER YEAR AND NOT MUCH AND THOSE EXPLOSIVE COSTS THAT WE SAW IN USED CARS ARE ROLLING OFF.

SUPPLY CHAINS ARE BECOMING A LITTLE BIT UNCLOGGED.

WE COULD DO SO MUCH MORE WITH THAT AND I COULD TALK ABOUT LABOR MARKET UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME OR SOURCES GOODS FROM MEXICO OR ASIA.

PART OF THAT IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

ASIA AND CHINA'S COVID POLICY HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH GETTING GOODS HERE.

>> Ted: I DON'T WANT TO TALK UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME BUT I WANT TO MENTION INFLATION AND HOW IT TIES INTO JOBS AND HOW IT TIES INTO WAGES.

>> SO JUST REALLY, REALLY MIXED,.

AND FOR THOSE OF US THAT HAVE GOOD FORTUNE OF OWNING OUR OWN HOMES AND WE OWN OUR OWN CARS AND WE DON'T HAVE TO COMMUTE MUCH BECAUSE HOME OFFICES WITH A SHORT COMMUTE AND IT'S BEEN AN ANNOYANCE AND NOT A BIG DEAL.

FOR THOSE THAT COMMUTE ACROSS TOWN, BUY GAS AT HIGH GASOLINE PRICES, IT CERTAINLY HAS BEEN.

GAS GETS TO PEOPLE PSYCHOLOGICALLY.

IF YOU VIEW THE ARITHMETIC AND FOR MOST, IT'S SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS A YEAR OR A THOUSAND MORE A YEAR AND LIKE HAVING TO BUY A HOT WATER HEATER AND IT'S ANNOYING AND IT NEEDN'T BE DEVASTATING.

IN TERMS OF JOBS, I HAVE CONCERN GOING FORWARD IN THE REAL ESTATE SECTOR.

AND NOT ANYWHERE NEAR 2008 OR 2009, BECAUSE WE'RE STILL WAY UNDERBUILT AND I THINK THAT THE SECTOR WILL BE OK, BUT THE TURNOVER, THE AMOUNT OF SALES IN REAL ESTATE, IN THE MLS IS JUST WAY DOWN IN THE DOLLAR VOLUMES COMPARED WITH LAST YEAR.

AND A LOT OF MONEY IS MADE ON THOSE SALES AND THAT'S GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE.

>> OK, SO WHAT DO WE TAKE FROM THIS REPORT?

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE ENTHUSIASTIC AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING, WATCH OUT FOR THE NEXT ONE BECAUSE IT COULD GO BACK UP AGAIN?

WHAT DO WE TAKE FROM THIS?

>> WE'LL GET STEPS AND WE MAY BE GET A STEP OR TWO DOWN AND A STEP BACK UP AND A STEP BACK UP.

BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT WILL GO.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IT IN REAL ESTATE ROLLIN' OVER AND I THINK WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH WALL STREET GETTING TOO FLOPPY AGAIN AND THE FED CAN FIX THAT STRAIGHT BY JUST CONTINUING TO RAISE AND RATES.

THEY CAN COOL THOSE DOWN QUICKLY QUICKLY.

AND I THINK AS WE SEE REAL ESTATE SOFTENING, THEN WE SEE PRICES EVERYWHERE BECAUSE THIS WAS ALL A BIG REAL ESTATE RUNOFF FROM, YOU KNOW, LATE 2020 THROUGH 2021 IN THE SPRING OF '22.

THAT'S WHEN THE BRAKES GOT HIT.

SOME DATA THAT SUGGESTS HOUSING PRICES ARE DOWN 8% TO 10% AND I THINK THAT DEPENDS WHERE YOU LIVE AND WHAT TRANSACTIONS HAVE OCCURRED.

>> Ted: DENNIS, GREAT INFORMATION AS ALWAYS AND ASU ECONOMIST AND THANKS FOR JOINING US.

>> THANKS.

>> Ted: UP NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON, WE'LL HEAR ABOUT AN SIGNIFICANT WITH A PLAYWRIGHT AND POET.

PUT >> Ted: NATIONAL AMERICAN BEGINDATA FEATURING THE LIFE AND WORK OF GENE SHAHARI AND HERE WITH MORE IS THE DIRECTOR AND ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN AT THE CENTER AND THANKS FOR JOINING US.

AND ALEXANDER, GIVE ME SOME INFORMATION.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT.

>> WE'RE AN INDIGENOUS LIBRARY WITHIN THE ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM AND WE'VE BEEN AROUND SINCE 1993 AND I'M THE FIRST INDIGENOUS DIRECTOR IN THIS POSITION AND HERE TO PROVIDE INDIGENOUS LIBRARY SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY.

>> Ted: WHAT WOULD THOSE SERVICES BE?

>> RESEARCH SUPPORT AND ASU FOR COURSES AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT, AS WELL.

>> Ted: IS THIS COMMUNITY DRIVEN ARCHIVE, ALL NATIONS AND ALL OF THE TIME?

>> YES.

>> Ted: LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS EXHIBIT AND WHO IS JEAN SHAHURI?

>> AN AUTHOR AND PLAYWRIGHT AND SHE LIVED IN TUCSON AREA AND WORKING AS AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE TRADITIONAL ALLIANCE INTO A MOVER AND SHAKER AND CREATED SERVICES TO BETTER THE POPULATION FOR INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY IN THE METROPOLITAN AREAS AND SHE CREATED THE URBAN BEGIN HEALTH CENTER AND MOVED OVER TO THE PHOENIX AREA IN THE '80S AND '90S AND CREATED BEGIN WOMEN IN PROGRESS AND UNDER THAT, CREATED THE INDIAN COALITION AND HELPING TO PRESERVE AND, YOU KNOW, NOT GETTING IT TAKEN AWAY FROM A LAND SWAP.

SHE WAS A PIVOTAL MOVER AND ACTIVIST FOR MAINTAINING THAT FROM BEING DEVELOPED FOR ECONOMIC CALAL DEVELOPMENT.

>> Ted: AS FAR AS EXHIBITION, HOW DO YOU MAKE THAT IMPORTANT AND RELEVANT TO VISITORS?

>> WE'RE HERE TO UPLIFT INDIGENOUS VOICES AND SO TO HAVE AN INDIGENOUS LIBRARIAN, WE SHARE WHO SHE IS AND HER BACKGROUND AND THIS IS ONE THE MAIN AREAS WITH THE COLLECTIONS AND WE HAVE TWO LOCATIONS AND ONE AT THE WEST CAMPUS AND ONE IN TEMPE AND PARTNER WITH FOLKS THERE TO REALLY JUST USE -- THE PRIMARY SOURCES, OUR MATERIAL TELLS THE STORY.

THAT EXHIBIT IS A COMBINATION OF HER LIFE IN WORDS AND PHOTOS AND EPHEMERAL MATERIALS.

>> Ted: YOU MUST GO THROUGH VOLUMES FOR SOMEONE LIKE THAT.

>> HER COLLECTION WAS SO PHENOMENAL BECAUSE SHE DOCUMENTED EVERYTHING AND HER STRUGGLES AND TIME AS A MOM AND ACTIVIST AND HER LEADERSHIP AND HER THOUGHTS AND EVERYTHING.

IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANTED TO PROMOTE AND ADVOCATE FOR HER BECAUSE SHE IS ONE OF THE TOP INSPIRATIONAL WOMEN LEADERS IN A INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY.

WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT LADONNA HARRIS, SHE UP THERE WITH HER AND WE'RE TRYING TO BRING AWARENESS FOR THE ACTIVIST FOR THE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY.

WHEN WE THINK OF THAT, I THINK OF COMMUNITY.

SHE HAD THAT TALENT TO BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER IN FIGHTING FOR OUR CAUSE AND BRINGING THOSE ISSUES UP TO THE FOREFRONT.

>> Ted: TALK ABOUT INFORMATION LITERACY, ESPECIALLY IN THIS ENVIRONMENT.

HOW IMPORTANT IS THAT?

>> JUST IN GENERAL, OUR COMMUNITIES SOMETIMES LACK THE ABILITY TO FIND INFORMATION AND ALSO IDENTIFY IF IT'S AUTHORITATIVE OR NOT AND FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, A LOT OF OUR HISTORY HAS BEEN TAINTED OR COLONIZED AND TRYING TO FIND THEIR OWN HISTORY OR CULTURE AND THAT COULD TURN INTO A LANGUAGE REVITALIZATION.

THAT SHOULDN'T BE THERE AND SO A LOT OF WAYS THEY'RE SAYING KNOWLEDGE NOT JUST BOOKS AND ELDERS.

>> Ted: THE EXHIBIT IS WHAT IS LIFE ALL ABOUT AND THAT'S THE TITLE AND WHY THAT TITLE?

>> WE SAW THAT IN HER COLLECTION AND ONE OF HER WRITING AND TALKED A LOT ABOUT WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH YOUR ENTIRE LIFE IF YOU WERE GIVEN AND WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH IT IN YOUR LIFESPAN.

IT SPOKE VOLUME AND THE ADVOCACY WORK THAT SHE DID FOR INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY AND IT EPITOMIZED THE WHOLE SIGNIFICANT.

WE DETAILED A LOT OF HER EXHIBIT ON WAS SHOWCASING WITH WHO SHE WAS, AN ACTIVIST AND LEADER AND SHE WAS A WRITERRER AND WE HIGHLIGHTED A LOT OF HER WRITINGS.

>> Ted: AND HOW THE INDIANS DISCOVERED CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.

>> YES.

>> Ted: DOES AN EXHIBIT LIKE THIS INSPIRE THIS TO GO FORWARD OR IS THIS LIKE -- THIS IS WHAT YOU DO AND THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE?

>> IT'S FUNNY YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE GOING THROUGH THE ARCHIVE IS GETTING IT MORE VISIBLE AND SHARE IT WITH THE COMMUNITY AND WE CAN DETAIL THAT MORE AND THIS IS OPENING MANY OTHER OPPORTUNITIES AND DOORS THAT PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW THE HISTORY AND AWESOME TO SEE TRIBAL COMMUNITIES CURATE THAT POSTERIOR.

HISTORY.

>> Ted: THAT HAS TO BE FASCINATING.

THAT'S PART OF ME.

>> SHE WAS AHEAD OF HER TIME AND THAT'S WHY WE WANTED TO SHOWCASE THAT.

IT'S WAY DURING HER TIME AND WE'RE DEALING THAT TODAY.

>> Ted: CONGRATULATIONS AND IT'S WHAT YOU AIMED FOR HERE.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

IMAGES RELEASED WITH THE JAIL WEBB TELESCOPE AND ALLOWING ASU TO LEARN ABOUT GALAXIES 700 LIGHT YEARS AWAY.

THE WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THESE ARE FASCINATING PHOTOS TO US AND FOR YOU, A PAIR OF WINDING GALAXIES AND WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

>> IT'S 400 LIGHT YEARS ACROSS AND ELLIPTICAL, MUCH MORE AMONG SMOOTH AND FAR ENOUGH APART.

>> Ted: WHICH ONE?

>> THE SPIRIT SPIRAL IS IN FRONT AND THE FLASHLIGHT OF THE GALAXY IN THE BACKGROUND AND WE CAN SEE THE DUST AND THIS IS THE SAME THAT STARS ARE MADE OF.

>> Ted: THESE THINGS ARE 700 MILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, THAT RIGHT NOW, THEY COULD BE GONE.

>> THEY MIGHT HAVE COLLIDED AND FAR ENOUGH APART WE DON'T THINK THEY HAVE.

PROBABLY 40, 50 MILLION LIGHT YEARS.

>> Ted: AND THESE ARE GALAXIES SIMILAR TO OUR OWN.

>> YOU WOULD BE HALFWAY FROM THE CENTER TO THE EMPLOYEE AND CENTER TO THE EDGE.

>> Ted: WHAT CAN WE LEARN?

>> THE COMPOSITION OF DUST, WE THINK IS THE SAME THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE AND NOT THE SAME EVERYWHERE AND THE SAME PERIODIC SYSTEM AND THEY COULD BE MORE OR LESS IN TOTAL AND DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH DUST IN EACH OF THESE SPIRAL ARMS, THAT SEEDS THE INFORMATION OF NEW STARS AND PLANETS AND THAT'S WHAT WE HOPE TO LEARN.

WHERE WOULD WE HAVE FORMED AND WHAT MATERIAL DID IT TAKE?

>> Ted: THE MORE DUST, THE MORE LIKELY PLANETS OR COULD THERE BE LESS DUST AND A SPECIAL KIND OF DUST OR CERTAIN POSITION AND FORMATION THAT WOULD QUALITY OUT IF.

>> THERE'SQUALITYOUT?

>> IT'S THE SAME STUFF THAT MAKES UP THE DESERT ROCKS AND SO, THAT DUST IS THE STUFF THAT COOLS DOWN THE GAS FOR STARS TO FORM.

>> Ted: IN A SENSE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT PREVIOUS -- YOU'RE LOOKING AT PREVIOUS GENERATIONS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN FUTURE GENERATIONS?

>> EXACTLY, WE TRY TO LEARN FROM OUR OWN COSMIC HISTORY.

>> Ted: THIS OF COURSE, AND I WOULDINFORMATION, WHATARE WE LOOKING AT HERE?

>> A CLUSTER OFIT WILL BEND THE LIGHT BEHIND THAT CLUSTER IS IMAGED IN THROUGH THREE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AND WE SEE A VERY EARLY OBJECT BEHIND IT.

>> Ted: WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS, THESE ARE GALAXIES AND THIS ISN'T A BUNCH OF STARS.

THESE ARE GALAXIES AND HOW DOES ITS NOT BECOME OVERWHELMING?

>> IT DOES AND THAT CLUSTER WAS ALREADY EIGHT OR NINE BILLION YEARS OL WHEN IT EMITTED ITS LIGHT AND ON IT WAY TO US FOR LONGER THAN 4.5 BILLION YEARS, WHICH IS THE AGE OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM AND THAT CLUSTER WAS ALREADY OLD AND MATURE BY THE TIME WE WERE FORMED.

LIKE THE COSMIC AFTERTHOUGHT.

>> Ted: BEFORE THINK OF THIS WAS AROUND.

>> THAT'S HOW WE LEARN BY SEEING HOW IT HAPPENED.

>> Ted: THE WEBB TELESCOPE MADE A PART AND HUBBLE TELESCOPE?

>> ALSO PROVIDED BLUE WAVE LENGTHS AND WEBB LOOKS AT LIGHT THAT'S REDDER THAN RED AND RED CANNOT SEE THE BLUE WAVE LENGTH AND YOU GET A COMPLETE PICTURE OF WHAT'S OUT THERE.

>> Ted: SO FAR FROM THE IMAGES YOU'VE SEEN, I MEAN, TO US, THEY'RE LIKE UNBELIEVABLE AND TO YOU, THEY'RE IMPORTANT AND ARE THEY WHAT YOU EXPECTED?

>> BEYOND BELIEF AND OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD.

WE HADN'T THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GATEQUITE THIS GOOD.

>> Ted: DID YOU ANTICIPATE THIS MANY DISCOVERIES AND FINDINGS?

>> IT'S OVERWHELMING AND WE JUST STARTED.

>> Ted: WHAT DO YOU FOCUS ON?

>> WE OBSERVED THE FIRST THINGS VISIBLE WHEN IT WAS RELEASED FOR PUBLIC USE AT THE END OF JUNE, EARLY JULY AND WHATEVER TARGETS WERE VIZLE VISIBLE WERE OBSERVED SIGNIFICANCE OR SEVEN AND A LITTLE OVERWHELMING.

>> Ted: YOU ANTICIPATING -- THESE ARE ALL BIG, OBVIOUSLY IMPORTANT.

IS THERE A SUPER MASS.

>> EINSTEIN WOULD BE SO PLEASE.

WHEN YOU PUT THOSE TOGETHER, IT'S JUST SO UNBELIEVABLY GOOD.

>> Ted: OF GALAXIES?

>> LIKE THE ONE YOU JUST SAW ON THE SCREEN, BUT MORE COLORFUL AND MUCH MORE DETAIL.

THE WHOLE UNIVERSE BEHIND THIS IS STRETCHED AND BENT IN WAYS YOU CAN'T IMAGINE.

>> Ted: ROGER, YOU'VE BLOWN OUR MINDS ONCE AGAIN AND THANKS FOR SHOWING US THOSE TWIN GALAXIES.

>> A LOT MORE TO COME.

>> Ted: THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND THAT IT IS FOR NOW AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US AND YOU HAVE A GREAT EVENING.

NEXT ON ARIZONA PBS, ONE NONPROFIT MADE 500th HONOR FLIGHT.
