LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP)

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez used a big punch to beat a big fighter.

Alvarez landed a left-right late in the 11th round Satur-day night, dropping Sergey Kovalev to the canvas and ending their light heavyweight title fight. Kovalev was left on his knees, his arms draped over the middle ring rope as the fight was stopped at 2:15 of the round.

It was a dramatic finish for a fight that had little drama up to the knockdown. Kovalev was more than holding his own late in the fight and hadn’t been hurt when Alvarez landed the left followed by a right.

The Mexican great, who moved up two weight classes, won his fourth title in as many weights. He celebrated by kissing the glove on his right hand as Kovalev’s handlers jumped

into the ring to see if their fighter was OK.

The punch was one Alvarez had been looking for the entire fight, stalking

Kovalev while taking a lot of jabs and right hands to the face.

Both fighters fought cautiously for the most part, with Kovalev content to use his jab from long dis-tance and Alvarez looking to land hooks to the body. The crowd at the MGM Grand booed on several occasions, unhappy with the lack of action.

Alvarez was a 4-1 favorite despite moving up two weight classes to fight for

a piece of Kovalev’s 175-pound title. He took the fight against Kovalev rather than a third fight with Gennadiy Golovkin as part of a $365 million deal he signed with the streaming service DAZN.

Both fighters took naps in their dress-ing rooms as they waited some 90 minutes from the last undercard bout before entering the ring. The delay was for DAZN, which wanted to wait until the UFC card in New York was finished before the fight began.

Fans at the MGM Grand arena watched the UFC main event on big screens in the arena while the fighters waited.

Kovalev controlled the distance early with his jab, sticking it in Alvarez’s face as he plodded ahead with gloves held high looking for an opening on the inside. Alvarez threw punches sparingly, winging a few big punches that missed as Alvarez came back with jabs and an occasional right hand.

But Alvarez began finding the range with his left hook in the middle rounds, working Kovalev’s body and trying to wear him down. He kept advancing with gloves held close to his face, putting pres-sure on his bigger opponent.

“The key was patience, we thought it was going to be five or six rounds that it would take me to do that, but it was more,” Alvarez said. “He’s a great fighter, but ... the work plan was only slightly delayed.”

STATE

OLYMPIA, Washington (AP)

A measure that reinstates the use of affirmative action in state employment, contracting and

admission to public colleges and univer-sities was narrowly losing Tuesday night in early returns.

Referendum 88 asked people whether they wanted to approve or reject Initia-tive 1000, which was passed by the Leg-islature in April. I-1000 amends current statutes that prohibit state government from discriminating against or giving preferential treatment to individuals or groups based on race, sex, color, ethnic-ity, or national origin in public employ-ment, public education, or public con-tracting.

While it was passing in King County, the state’s most populous, it was being rejected in most other areas.

I-1000 opponent Linda Yang, of the ‘Let People Vote’ campaign, said the early returns were encouraging, and reflected

the campaign’s efforts on voter turnout, but she noted: “There are still a lot of votes to count.”

The initiative would allow the consideration of being part of a minority group to be a contributing factor for a qualified appli-cant. Along with race, sex, and ethnicity, the measure allows consideration of age, disability and honor-able discharge or military status. It would prohibit using factors such as race as the sole qualifier and bans mandatory quotas but would allow state agen-cies and public colleges and universities to establish diversity goals and timelines. A commission would be created to direct and oversee compliance.

I-1000 was supposed to take effect in July but was put on hold after opponents

collected enough signatures to force a referendum.

“We always knew from the get-go that this would be a close race,” said Hyeok Kim, a former Seattle deputy mayor who was a supporter of I-1000. “We’re hopeful the late votes will break for us.”

Meanwhile, state and local governments could end up scrambling to pay for road paving and other transportation projects as a Washington state measure that would cut car tabs to $30 was passing in early returns Tuesday.

Sponsored by Tim Eyman, the measure would cap most taxes paid through annual vehicle registration at $30 and largely revoke the authority of state and local governments to add new taxes and fees without voter approval.

Initiative 976 was being approved by a 56 percent to 44 percent margin after the first votes were tallied in the all mail election. King County was rejecting I-976 but most other counties were approving it by healthy margins. Vote counting will continue for days.

Movember – Raising Awareness of Prostate and Testicular Cancers

During the month of November, also commonly referred to as Movember, men across the

U.S. and many other countries in the world will grow their mustaches to raise awareness of men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide.

Your Tri-Cities Cancer Center would like to highlight the two cancers of focus in the month of November.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men (aside from cancers of the skin). Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in men and 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Starting at age 50, men of average risk should consider being screened for prostate cancer. Men 70 and above and in good health should consult their physician and determine the best path for their personal healthcare needs as it relates to screening.

Prostate cancer screening includes a digital rectal exam and PSA blood test. It may be appropriate for men with a family history to start sooner. While prostate cancer is a very serious disease, most men diagnosed with prostate cancer will not die from the disease.

What is involved in the prostate can-cer screening?

· Medical history (including discussion of risk factors), a prostate specific antigen

blood test (PSA) and a digital rectal exam (DRE) performed by a physician.

· Whether or not to have a prostate cancer screening on a regular basis is a con-troversial topic. We rec-ommend knowing your risk factors and having a conversation with your primary care physician to determine if screening is appropriate for you.

How is prostate cancer treated?

· Active Surveillance

· Likely to be recommended if cancer is low risk, if patient is older or has other serious medical conditions

· PSA will be checked periodi-cally and prostate biopsies will be performed on a regu-lar basis to ensure that your prostate cancer is not be-coming more aggressive

· Prostatectomy (surgery)

· Radiation therapy with exter-nal beam radiation

· Permanent radioactive seed implants

Testicular Cancer

Testicular cancer is most often found in men ages 15 – 35. Testicular cancer is most often a young man’s disease: average age 33 at diagnosis. Testicular cancer is very treatable and often curable cancer. Early detection is key!

Testicular cancer, while very serious, is not a common condition. 1 in 250 men will be diagnosed with testicular cancer in their lifetime. Due to great treatment options, only 1 in 5000 men will lose their life to testicular cancer. A higher percentage of the

time, testicular cancer appears as a lump in the testicles. Talk to your physician should you notice any physical changes

Performing a Self Exam:

· Check only one testical at a time

· Use both hands and hold

the testicle between your thumbs and fingers. Roll gently between your fingers.

· If you notice (feel or see) any hard lumps, smooth or rounded bumps, a change in size, shape or constancy contact your doctor right way

· More information can be found at MedlinePlus - https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003909.htm

MEXICO CITY (AP)

A sloppy operation that failed to nab Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán’s son followed by days

of changing explanations has revealed not so much that Mexico has a failing security strategy, but no real strategy at all, experts say.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his security Cabinet have defined their strategy thus far by stating what it is not, according to experts, saying that Mexico is no longer waging a war on drugs or seeking to capture or kill cartel kingpins, like previous governments did.

But these words were apparently con-tradicted by the bungled Oct. 17 mission to capture Ovidio Guzmán in the western city of Culiacan, the Sinaloa Cartel’s back-yard, which aimed to nab a cartel figure and unleashed violence that made the city look like a war zone.

When asked to define what his strategy is to tame Mexico’s sky-high murder rate and deadly drug cartels, López Obrador responds with philosophies more than

strategies, often mentioning an assortment of social pro-grams.

On Thursday, López Obrador said his govern-ment will not be forced into a drug war, adding that his strategy is something else.

“Nothing has hurt Mexico more than the dishonesty of the governing,” Mexico’s president said, implying corruption was to blame for the country’s insecurity, violence and drug traffick-ing.

He seemed to lay blame for the Culiacan operation with everyone except the drug traffickers, even lambasting the press for “yellow” journalism.

“This is pacifying the country by con-vincing, persuading without violence, offering well-being, alternative options, better living conditions, working condi-tions, strengthening values,” he said.

On the campaign trail he summed this

up with the catchy phrase: “abrazos, no balazos,” or “hugs, not bullets.”

But now he’s president, Mexico is on track to record more than 32,000 murders this year and the public just watched 13 people die in the streets of Culiacan while a special army antidrug unit captured and then released a drug lord to avoid further bloodshed.

“He can’t continue with this strategy of

peace and love with the criminals and say that there isn’t war,” said Raúl Benítez, a security expert and professor at the National Autono-mous University of Mexico. “The criminals are declaring war on the government and the country, the citizens, the people.”

López Obrador also faced ques-tions Thursday about unchar-acteristically public grumbling from within the ranks of Mexi-co’s military. A Mexican newspa-per this week published a speech by Gen. Carlos Gaytán to other military officers after the Culia-can debacle, which has followed a series of cartel attacks on Mexican

security forces.The retreat in the face of cartel gunmen

reinforced the impression that the gov-ernment has long ago relinquished effec-tive control of whole towns, cities and regions to the drug cartels.

“We’re worried about today’s Mexico,” Gaytán said. “We feel aggrieved as Mexi-cans and offended as soldiers.”

PORTLAND, Oregon (AP)

A federal judge in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday put on hold a Trump administration

rule requiring immigrants prove they will have health insurance or can pay for medical care before they can get visas.

U.S. District Judge Michael Simon granted a temporary restraining order that prevents the rule from going into effect Sunday. It’s not clear when he will rule on the merits of the case.

Seven U.S. citizens and a nonprofit organization filed the federal lawsuit Wednesday contending the rule would block nearly two-thirds of all prospective legal immigrants.

The lawsuit also said the rule would greatly reduce or eliminate the number of immigrants who enter the United States with family sponsored visas.

“We’re very grateful that the court rec-ognized the need to block the health care ban immediately,” says Justice Action Center senior litigator Esther Sung, who argued at Saturday’s hearing on behalf

of the plaintiffs. “The ban would separate families and cut two-thirds of green-card-based immigration starting tonight, were the ban not stopped.”

The proclamation signed by President Donald Trump in early October applies to people seeking immigrant visas from abroad — not those in the U.S. already. It does not affect lawful per-manent residents. It does not apply to asylum-seekers, ref-ugees or children.

The proclamation says immigrants will be barred from entering the country unless they are to be covered by health insurance within 30 days of entering or have enough financial resources to pay for any medical costs.

The rule is the Trump administration’s latest effort to limit immigrant access to public programs while trying to move the country away from a family based immi-

gration system to a merit-based system.The White House said in a statement at

the time the proclamation was issued that too many non-citizens were taking advan-tage of the country’s “generous public health programs,” and said immigrants contribute to the problem of “uncompen-sated health care costs.”

Under the government’s visa rule,

the required insurance can be bought individually or provided by an employer and it can be short-term coverage or cata-strophic.

Medicaid doesn’t count, and an immigrant can’t get a visa if using the Affordable Care Act’s subsidies when buying insur-ance. The federal government pays for those subsidies.

According to the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan immigration think tank, 57% of U.S. immigrants had private health insurance in 2017, com-pared with 69% of U.S.-born, and 30% had public health insurance coverage, compared with 36% of

native-born.The uninsured rate for immigrants

dropped from 32% to 20% from 2013 to 2017, since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, according to Migra-tion Policy.

There are about 1.1 million people who obtain green cards each year.

RENTON, Washington (AP)

With Russell Wilson playing like the midseason MVP, the Seattle Seahawks are

sitting in the middle of the NFC playoff race and potentially in the mix for a division title.

But there is only so much Wilson can do, and if Seattle isn’t able to fix its defensive woes, a schedule that is about to get significantly more difficult may eventually expose the Seahawks.

‘’I think he’s the best quarterback in the game, so whenever you have him out there on the field anything can happen,’’ Seattle running back Chris Carson said.

Wilson was brilliant again on Sunday, throwing for five touchdowns in Seat-tle’s 40-34 win over Tampa Bay as the Seahawks improved to 7-2. He now has 22 touchdowns and just one intercep-tion through nine games. But the fact Wilson needed such a starring perfor-mance to outlast the two-win Bucs is another indication of the tenuous line

Seattle is walking.If Wilson’s isn’t

great, and Seattle’s defense isn’t anywhere near what it’s been in previous seasons of Pete Carroll’s tenure, can the Seahawks be successful? Can they withstand a sched-ule that gets drasti-cally tougher begin-ning this week with a Monday night clash against unbeaten San Francisco and features six games against teams with winning records over the final seven weeks?

‘’We have the guys, we have the talent in the room, it’s just putting it together,’’ Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner said. ‘’These wins are

really hard to come by, but when we get them it’s important you don’t let the

win override the lesson that we need to learn.’’

POLITICS

WASHINGTON (AP)

More Americans approve of the impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump

than disapprove of it, though only about a third say the inquiry should be a top prior-ity for Congress, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

That solid, if measured, support serves

as a warning sign for Trump’s White House and reelection campaign, which have insisted that pursuing impeachment will end up being a vulnerability for Democrats heading into 2020.

But the findings present some red flags for Democrats, too: More people say House members are motivated mainly by poli-tics rather than by duty as they investigate the Republican president’s dealings with Ukraine and whether he abused his office

or compromised national secu-rity when he tried to pressure the country to dig up dirt on a politi-cal rival.

And assessments of the presi-dent’s performance generally have remained remarkably stable even as the investigation has unfolded at a rapid clip.

Overall, 47% said they support the impeachment inquiry, while 38% disapprove.

Still, 53% of Americans think the House is acting mainly on a politi-cal motivation to challenge Trump’s

presidency. That compares with fewer, 43%, who say it’s acting more in good faith on its responsibility to investigate the exec-utive branch.

Like most assessments of Trump and Washington, views of impeachment are starkly polarized.

A vast majority of Democrats approve of the inquiry, including 68% who strongly approve.

Among them is Sandra Shrewsbury, 70, who lives in Greencastle, Indiana. She said that Trump’s impeachment is long overdue.

“I am really concerned about our country if this does not stop,” she said of Trump’s time in office.

The AP-NORC poll of 1,075 adults was conducted Oct. 24-28 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel.
