Honolulu Star-Advertiser from Honolulu, Hawaii • F5

TODAY SUNDAY 61216 F5 AJ MCWHORTER Groundbreaking broadcasts were the domain of Berger news careers either began or flourished with a virtual who's who of local news broadcasting, including Jim Manke, Don Robbs, Jon Anderson, Chuck Henry, Don Rockwell, Bart Fredo, Linda Coble, Al Michaels, Doug Bruckner, Ken Kashiwahara and Tom McWilliams. Popular shows "Captain Honolulu," "50th State Wrestling" with Ed Francis, "Conversation" with Betty Smyser, "The Tom Moffatt Show" and "The Don Robbs Show" all at one time or the other aired on KHVH when Berger owned the station. Berger often broadcast his own anti-war editorials during the Vietnam War. He also was not shy in his editorials to call out politicians Mayor Neal Blaisdell, Mayor Frank Fasi and Gov. John Burns if he felt they were doing something wrong.

Also not without controversy, Berger hired then-state Sen. Mason Altiery to anchor the news in 1971 for his own station. Although Berger sold KHVH television in 1973 to the Starr Broadcasting Group, he retained KHVH radio. In 1979 he told KITV that selling the station wasn't a good idea. "It was a mistake as far as money, at least," he said.

"Who knew ABC would end up with 'Happy Days' instead of the junk stuff we had in those days?" KHVH radio was the first all-news radio station in the islands, and at one time Berger had entertainer Don Ho host his own radio show. KHVH radio was also a longtime home to University of Hawaii-Manoa baseball with Robbs calling the play-byplay. He sold the station in the mid-1990s and moved to California. Berger died at the age of 90 on April 22 at his home in Solana Beach, Calif. He is survived by wife Maureen, sons Robert and William, and five grandchildren.

Berger's widow welcomes donations, if anyone would so wish, to a charity of their choice in his memory. chise a few years later to Los Angeles. The younger Berger would became an executive vice president and general manager of television and radio stations in Wyoming and Montana. In 1964 Berger's Western Telestations Inc. purchased KHVH radio and television for $4 million from Henry J.

Kaiser. KHVH would became the most watched television station in the islands with the top 20 television shows and No. 1 news station featuring anchors Bob Sevey and Mason Altiery. KHVH also became the first local TV station to emphasize sports, with "Kaiser Sports Central," anchored by Jim Lathrop and Gene Good. The station was the first in the islands to broadcast its entire lineup of local and national television shows and newscasts in color.

KHVH also was the first local station to broadcast election coverage in color, in 1966. That was also the year Berger arranged the first live satellite broadcast from the mainland. During halftime of the Notre Dame-Michigan State football, game Altiery interviewed U.S. Rep. Patsy COURTESY PHOTO Lawrence Sherwin "Bob" Bergen He purchased KHVH radio and television, paying Henry Kaiser $4 million in 1964 Mink, and suddenly Hawaii, in terms of broadcast television, no longer seemed an isolated place thousands of miles away from the mainland.

The following month KHVH also broadcast nationwide the 25th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, and in 1967 Berger had Altiery visit the Middle East to cover the Six Day War. KHVH news staff was also sent to Vietnam for stories. During the Berger era at KHVH, on-air television AJ McWhorter, a collector of film and videotape cataloging Hawaii's TV history, has worked as a producer, writer and researcher for both local and national media.

Fifty years ago KHVH, which is now KITV, became the first local television station in the islands to receive a live satellite feed from the mainland, during the broadcast of the Notre Dame-Michigan State football game. That groundbreaking moment happened because of station owner Lawrence Sherwin "Bob" Berger, who seemed constantly one step ahead of the other local stations when it came to achieving WARD STADIUM with TITAN XC TimnXc WARCRAFT 3D (PG-13)l 1:25 4:20 7:15 WARCRAFT (PG-13)B 3D WARCRAFT 3D (PG-13)l (2:25) 5:20 OPEN CAPTION THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE (PG) (12:45 PM) THE CONJURING 2 (R)l (1 0:45 1 :45) 4:45 7:45 10:45 NOWYOUSEEME2(PG-13)l (10:30 1:30) 4:30 7:30 10:30 WARCRAFT (PG-13)i (11:30 3:20) 6:15 8:15 9:10 ME BEFORE YOU (PG-13)B 6:00 9:45 TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS (PG-13)1 (10:45 1:30) 4:15 7:00 9:45 ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS (PG) (12:00 2:40) 5:20 8:00 10:40 X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (PG-13) (2:20) 5:25 8:30 THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE (PG) (10:30 3:00) 5:15 7:30 CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR (PG-13) (2:50) 8:35 THE JUNGLE BOOK (PG) (1 2:55 PM) PREMIERE 21 AND OVER SHOW TIMES WITH RESERVED SEATING THE CONJURING 2 (R)l (1 1 :30 1 2:1 5 2:30 6:15 8:30 9:15 NOW YOU SEE ME 2 (PG-13)l (11:30 2:30) 5:30 8:30 ME BEFORE YOU (PG-13)l (2:25) 8:05 POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING (R)l (1 1 :45) 4:55 1 0:05 TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS (PG-13)l (11:45 2:30) 5:15 8:00 10:45 X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (PG-13) (1 :50) 7:00 CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR (PG-13) 10:35 KAPOLEI 16 3D WARCRAFT 3D (PG-13)i (1 2:00 2:40) 5:20 8:00 OPEN CAPTION NOW YOU SEE ME 2 (PG-13)l TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS (PG-13)l (1 :00) 6:00 THE CONJURING 2 (R)l (1 1 :30 1 :25 2:25) 4:20 5:20 6:30 7:30 8:15 9:25 10:25 NOWYOUSEEME2(PG-13)l (1:30 2:30) 4:15 7:00 8:00 9:45 10:45 WARCRAFT (PG-13)l (1:10 1:55 3:50) 4:35 7:15 9:55 10:40 LOVE ME TOMORROW (NR)i 7:15 ME BEFORE YOU (PG-13)l (1 1:45 2:10) 4:35 7:05 8:05 9:30 10:30 POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING (R)i (11:30) 10:00 TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS (PG-13)1 (11:30 2:00 3:30) 4:30 7:00 8:30 9:30 ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS (PG) (11:30 2:00) 4:30 7:00 9:30 X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (PG-13) (2:15 3:55) 5:15 7:00 8:15 10:00 THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE (PG) (12:45 3:00) 5:1 5 7:30 9:45 LOVE FRIENDSHIP (PG) (1 1 :30 1 :45) CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR (PG-13) (1:55) 5:00 MILILANI 14 3D WARCRAFT 3D (PG-13)l (12:45 3:30) OPEN CAPTION POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING (R)l (10:50 AM) TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS (PG-13)l 6:45 PM CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR (PG-13) (3:40 PM) THE CONJURING 2 (R)l (1 1 :05 1 2:05 1 :55 3:00) 4:45 5:55 7:40 8:50 9:40 10:35 NOW YOU SEE ME 2 (PG-13)l (1 1 :00 1 :45) 4:35 7:30 10:20 WARCRAFT (PG-13)l (10:45 11:35 1 :30 2:20) 4:1 5 5:05 6:1 5 7:00 7:55 9:45 1 0:40 ME BEFORE YOU (PG-13)l (1 2:00 2:30) 4:55 7:25 9:50 10:30 POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING (R)I 9:30 PM TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS (PG-13)1 (11:1012:10 1:40 2:40) 4:10 5:10 7:45 9:20 10:15 ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS (PG) (11:40 10:00 X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (PG-13) (1 1 :20 1 2:20 2:50 3:50) 6:05 7:05 10:10 THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE (PG) (1 1 :30 2:00) 4:25 7:1 5 9:35 CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR (PG-13) accomplishments. This month we look back at the life and career of Berger. Berger was born July 17, 1925, in Fargo, N.D.

Berger's father, Ben, owned 19 movie theaters throughout Minnesota and North Dakota. He also was co-owner of the Minneapolis Lakers, the first dynasty in professional basketball, winning six championships with star George Mikan. In 1957 Berger sold the team for $150,000 to Bob Short, who moved the fran- PEARLRIDGE 16 3D WARCRAFT 3D (PG-13)l 5:15 10:45 OPEN CAPTION NOW YOU SEE ME 2 (PG-13)l (12:25 PM) TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS (PG-13)l 6:30 PM THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE (PG) 4:35 PM THE CONJURING 2 (R)l (10:50 1 2:1 5 1 :45 3:10) 4:40 6:05 7:05 7:35 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 NOWYOUSEEME2(PG-13)l (11:25 2:15 6:55 7:55 9:40 10:40 WARCRAFT (PG-13)l (10:45 11:45 12:45 1 :30 2:30 3:30) 4:15 7:00 8:00 9:45 THE FINAL MASTER (NR)I (2:20) 4:50 7:20 LOVE ME TOMORROW (NR)I (1 1 :00 1 :50) 4:35 7:30 10:20 ME BEFORE YOU (PG-13)l (1 2:30 3:00) 5:25 7:50 10:15 POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING (R)i (1 1 :50) 9:50 TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS (PG-13)l (10:55 11:45 1 :25 2:1 5 3:55) 4:45 7:1 5 9:05 9:45 THE WAILING (NR)I (1 1 :30 2:50) 6:00 9:1 5 ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS (PG) (11:40 2:1 7:1 0 9:55 X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (PG-13) (1 :05) 4:05 7:05 10:05 THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE (PG) (1 1 :35 2:00) 7:00 KO'OLAU 10 3D WARCRAFT 3D (PG-13)l (1 :40) 4:20 7:00 OPEN CAPTION NOW YOU SEE ME 2 (PG-13)l 9:55 PM THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE (PG) (2:30 PM) THE CONJURING 2 (R)l (10:1 5 1 :00 3:50) 7:05 9:15 10:15 NOW YOU SEE ME 2 (PG-13)l (1 1 :05 1 :45) 4:25 7:10 WARCRAFT (PG-13)l (11 :00 12:15 2:50) 5:30 8:05 9:40 ME BEFORE YOU (PG-13)B (10:15 12:35 3:05) 5:25 7:45 10:10 POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING (R)i (10:15) 10:40 TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS (PG-13)l (12:30 3:00) 5:30 8:05 10:30 ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS (PG) (11:1 5 1:50) 4:25 7:30 9:50 X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (PG-13) (1 0:40 1 :35) 4:30 7:25 10:20 THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE (PG) (1 0:00 7:00 LOVE FRIENDSHIP (PG) 8:20 10:25 CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR (PG-13) (11:20 KAHALA 8 3D WARCRAFT 3D (PG-13)l 5:00 PM OPEN CAPTION MAGGIE'S PLAN (R)l 10:00 PM NOWYOUSEEME2(PG-13)l (10:50 1:40) 4:30 7:20 10:10 WARCRAFT (PG-13)l (2:1 5) 7:40 9:30 1 0:20 THE FINAL MASTER (NR)I (1 2:30 3:00) 5:30 8:00 10:30 X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (PG-13) (12:40 3:55) 7:00 10:05 THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE (PG) (1 2:30 2:45) 5:00 7:15 MAGGIE'S PLAN (R)l (1 0:30 1 2:50 3:1 0) 5:30 7:45 THE LOBSTER (R)l (2:00) 4:40 7:50 10:30 LOVE FRIENDSHIP (PG) (10:40 1 :00 3:1 0) 5:20 7:30 9:40 KOKO MARINA 8 3D WARCRAFT 3D (PG-13)l 4:20 PM OPEN CAPTION POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING (R)l 10:30 PM X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (PG-13) (3:55 PM) THE CONJURING 2 (R)l (1 1 :00 2:00) 4:50 7:40 10:20 NOWYOUSEEME2(PG-13)l (10:45 1:40) 4:30 7:20 10:10 WARCRAFT (PG-13)l (1 1 :45 1 :30 2:30) 5:10 7:00 7:50 9:40 10:30 ME BEFORE YOU (PG-13)l (1 2:00 2:30) 5:00 7:30 10:00 POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING (R)I (11:15 AM) TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS (PG-13)l (11:30 12:30 2:10 3:00) 4:40 5:30 7:1 5 8:00 9:50 X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (PG-13) (12:45) 7:10 10:15 Crossword editor Will Shortz, pictured at right congratulating a competition winner, has been at the New York Times since 1993. PUZZLE Continued from Fl The New York Times crossword puzzle is the most popular and according to the venerable newspaper the most influential puzzle in the world. It appears in 300 newspapers worldwide, including daily in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser's Today section.

The 63-year-old Shortz, who started solving puzzles when he was a boy, will entertain Hawaii crossword enthusiasts in person for the first time during an evening presentation Thursday at the Hawaii Theatre. He'll share trade secrets, offer tips on completing (and creating) crosswords, and test your puzzle-solving skills with a few word games. Solving puzzles goes to the heart of human nature, Shortz said in a telephone interview from his home in Pleasantville, N.Y. "We're faced with chaos every day in life, and we just muddle through and do the best we can," he said. "In most cases we don't find perfection.

But with a human-made puzzle, you are carrying the challenge from start to finish, and when you finish the last square, you feel a sense of elation at putting the world in order." Shortz grew up on an Arabian horse farm in Indiana and created his first crossword puzzle when he was about 8. When he was 14 he sold his first puzzle. He took that love of clues and words to Indiana University, where he was allowed to design his own curriculum and, in 1974, receive the world's THE QUEEN'S MEDICAL CENTER only degree in the study of puzzles enigmatology. Three years later he graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law. His initial plan was to practice law for 10 years and make enough money to retire and create puzzles full time.

But puzzles were his calling and he skipped the bar. He went on to edit Games magazine for 15 years before moving over to The New York Times in 1993, where he added bylines for puzzle creators, who had worked without recognition, and made the puzzles increasingly more difficult throughout the week. He also expanded the use of cultural references to include movies, television and rock 'n' roll. Producing seven New York Times crosswords a week is a demanding task, Shortz said. He receives about 75 to 100 submissions Times for Sunday, June 12 COURTESY WILL SHORTZ the clues should be tricky, misleading but in a fun way," Shortz said.

"It's like the punchline of a joke. You slap your head and think you should have seen that." Shortz has been to Hawaii only once before, in 2004, when he presided over his nephew's wedding on Maui. Shortz isn't a minister of any kind, and the wedding had already taken place in a Los Angeles County courthouse. This was just for show, Shortz said. And, of course, that's what he gave the bride and groom, puzzle style.

"I made a puzzle and incorporated their names, and every once in a while in my presentation, I left a blank that they could answer if they could and if they couldn't, I threw it out to everyone else there," Shortz said. "It was one of the most unusual wedding ceremonies ever." A study published in the Clinical Journal in Sport Medicine found that paper tape is the least expensive and most effective option for preventing blisters. It reduced blisters by 40 percent at the end of a 155-mile ultra-marathon, the study found. You could better those odds by making sure your feet are always dry, as moisture leads to blisters. "Vaseline, mineral oil and other skin lubricants should be avoided," he said.

Since feet sweat so often, Richie suggests that runners put on a fresh, dry pair of socks right before race time because feet begin sweating early on race day due to nervous anxiety. The type of socks you wear is also important. Cotton fiber socks should be abandoned in favor of synthetic fiber socks such as Coolmax or polypropylene, Richie said. every week from crossword creators. He looks at all of them and responds to everyone, whether their puzzle is accepted or not.

"Puzzles that are no good at all, I can tell in a few seconds, and ones that are fantastic, I can tell in a minute," he said. "The ones in the middle I have to think about and play with a bit." The typical New York Times crossword asks 76 questions, and few puzzles sail through to publication untouched. "I'm a very hands-on editor," Shortz said. "On average, about half the clues in a New York Times crossword are mine. I am editing for accuracy, obviously, but also for the right level of difficulty." As anyone familiar with the puzzles in the Times can attest, they grow more difficult each day.

"At the end of the week, moleskin should extend beyond the area of concern," she said, explaining that if you put it on your foot, it might slide off the skin. There are also silicone products that can be used on the skin to help disperse pressure. These are good to keep on hand for emergency blisters for runners, walkers or anyone wearing heels to a party, Reid said. If you're getting blisters regularly from running, then try using paper (surgical) tape, said Doug Richie, a podiatrist with the Seal Beach Podiatry Group in California. Standard 1-inch paper tape (3M Micropore Paper Tape, $3.97 at Amazon.com) should be applied in one smooth layer over the anticipated blister area.

By Danielle Braf Chicago Tribune It's sandal season and running season, which means blisters are back in full force. But there are ways that your feet and your shoes can get along, even if it's the first day that you're wearing new footwear, said Marlene Reid, podiatric physician and surgeon at the Family Podiatry Center of Naperville, 111. "Prevention is the key when it comes to blisters," Reid said. Skip the Band-Aids, and put some moleskin pads in your shoe where the potential irritation will occur, Reid said. "It is better to put the moleskin on the shoe as opposed to the foot, and the Wednesday, June 29 5:30 7:00 PM FREE Queen's Conference Center LT i EwN.J Re9'ster online at www.queensmedicalcenter.orghealth-lectures Queen's Referral Line at 691-71 17.
