Drowsy driving fatalities frustrate officials Some say risk greater than DWI, but no way to make law on sleepiness By Frank Eltman
The Associated Press
MINEOLA, N.Y. — It probably happens to most drivers. Heading home after an overtime shift, and the eyelids flutter. Up all night with a sick baby, and you rest your eyes for just a moment on the way to dropping off the kids at school. Drowsy drivers often make it safely to their destination, but for some, the consequences are devastating. “To this day, I still hear my boys crying out, yelling for Daddy, when they were told the news,” says Jackie Califano, the widow of a New York police officer killed when a suspected drowsy driver plowed into his parked cruiser in 2011. “The pain we experienced is beyond description and continues to be.” More than 11,000 deaths were attributed to drowsy driving from 2000 to 2010, statistics show.

arbara Salinas-Norman was a Chicana activist, a bilingual teacher, an author, a publisher and an artist. She was “intelligent,” “inspiring,” a “trailblazer.” But her life had begun to unravel, and this once wellconnected woman apparently died alone in her Santa Fe home, where her body lay undiscovered
for several months behind an unlocked door. Her decomposed remains were found Monday at the Zia Vista Condominiums on Zia Road. Police originally speculated that Salinas had been dead since October, but family and friends said Friday they thought Salinas, 70, might have died long before that — a year or more ago. According to a preliminary autopsy, she died of natural causes.

NATION&WORLD
In brief Experts say ‘we’re stuck’ with global warming WASHINGTON — The old saying that “what goes up must come down” doesn’t apply to carbon dioxide pollution in the air, which just hit an unnerving milestone. The chief greenhouse gas was measured Thursday at 400 parts per million in Hawaii, a monitoring site that sets the world’s benchmark. It’s a symbolic mark that scientists and environmentalists have been anticipating for years. While this week’s number has garnered all sorts of attention, it is just a daily reading in the month when the chief greenhouse gas peaks in the Northern Hemisphere. It will be lower the rest of the year. This year will probably average around 396 ppm. But not for long — the trend is going up and at faster and faster rates. Within a decade the world will never see days — even in the cleanest of places on days in the fall when greenhouse gases are at their lowest — when the carbon measurement falls below 400 ppm, said James Butler, director of global monitoring at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Earth Science Research Lab in Boulder, Colo. “The 400 is a reminder that our emissions are not only continuing, but they’re accelerating; that’s a scary thing,” Butler said Saturday. “We’re stuck. We’re going to keep going up.”

Prince helps launch Warrior Games Harry meets with veterans competing in Paralympics By Dan Elliott
The Associated Press
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Escorted by Britain’s Prince Harry and swimming superstar Missy Franklin, a U.S. Navy officer blinded by an improvised bomb in Afghanistan lit an Olympic-style cauldron Saturday to launch the Warrior Games for wounded service members. Lt. Bradley Snyder, Harry and Franklin completed the last leg of a brief torch relay at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs to formally start the games. All three lifted the torch to the lip of the cauldron to ignite the flame. It was a touching start to the Paralympicstyle games, which runs through Thursday. About 260 athletes are competing in basketball, volleyball, shooting, archery, track and field and swimming — Snyder’s sport. Britain sent a 35-member team, and the
prince met with the athletes earlier in the day. He also sat on a gymnasium floor in a circle of 12 sitting volleyball players, batting the ball around amid whoops and laughter. Harry served as a combat helicopter in pilot in Afghanistan, and the British veterans said that makes him easy to talk to. “He knows what it’s like out there,” said Army Capt. Dave Henson, a member of the volleyball team. “He’s been on the ground and in the air.” Henson, 28, lost both legs when an improvised bomb exploded in Afghanistan two years ago. He said Harry took a personal interest in the athletes’ recovery and the quality of their health care. Royal Marine Matthew Hancox, 25, said the prince recognized some wounded veterans he had met before and asked them how they were recovering. “He’s very down-to-earth,” said Hancox, who was shot in the chest in Afghanistan in 2011. The prince on Saturday afternoon pulled a Union Jack jersey over his uniform and
joined the British team in a raucous exhibition game of sitting volleyball against U.S. players. That delighted the audience of several hundred and prompted a string of teasing taunts from the arena announcer. The visit to Colorado got underway Friday night when Harry charmed dozens of dignitaries, British expatriates, students and military officers at a cocktail party welcoming him to Colorado. He also joined the crowd in singing “Happy Birthday” to Franklin, a Coloradan who was celebrating turning 18 at a golf club south of Denver. She won four gold medals in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. A captain in Britain’s Army Air Corps, Harry has deployed to Afghanistan twice, and he wore a brown camouflage uniform and tan combat boots when he met with the British team. He’s attending the Colorado games because he believes the wounded deserve recognition, according to a statement from St. James’ Palace in London, the official residence of the royal family.
Sandy Hook Elementary may be torn down, rebuilt The Associated Press
Faced with what one official called a “gutwrenching” decision, a task force has voted to tear down the old Sandy Hook Elementary School and build a new one in its place. The committee of 28 officials in Newtown, Conn., unanimously recommended the plan Friday night after weeks of discussion. Other options included renovating the current
building or building a new school in a different location. The decision to rebuild on the property is a symbolic step for the community, which lost 20 children and six educators in a December shooting rampage. Since the massacre, the 430 surviving students have attended school at a building in a neighboring town. Laura Roche, a member of the Sandy Hook School Task Force and vice chairwoman of

Spacewalking repair at station halts serious leak CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Astronauts making a rare, hastily planned spacewalk replaced a pump outside the International Space Station on Saturday in hopes of plugging a serious ammonia leak. The prospects of success grew as the minutes, then hours passed and no frozen flecks of ammonia appeared. Mission Control said it appeared as though the leak may have been plugged, although additional monitoring over the coming weeks will be needed before declaring a victory. “I will tell you that we’re happy. We’re very happy,” said Joel Montalbano, NASA’s deputy space station program manager. “We didn’t see any obvious signs of a leak, but it’s going to take some time … for us to look at the system, evaluate the system and make sure we did, indeed, stop the leak.” Montalbano expects it will take “a good four weeks, five weeks, maybe even a few weeks longer.” “Obviously, the longer you go, the more confidence you get,” he told reporters.

VALLEY SPRINGS, Calif. — Authorities on Saturday arrested the 12-year-old brother of an 8-year-old girl who was mysteriously stabbed at her home in a quiet Northern California community last month. Calaveras County Sheriff Gary Kuntz told reporters at a news conference that the boy will be charged with homicide. The April 27 attack shook the tightknit Valley Springs community of about 7,400 people and set off a massive manhunt. The boy had told police that he encountered an intruder in the home and described the man as being tall with long gray hair. Investigators did a door-to-door sweep of houses, storage sheds and horse stables scattered across oakstudded hills. Divers also searched two nearby reservoirs in search of clues. As part of the investigation, authorities seized several knives from the home Leila shared with her father, stepmother and siblings to determine if one could have inflicted the fatal wounds. A neighbor who told detectives she saw a man flee the Fowler home later recanted the story and was discredited by police. Several days after the killing, hundreds of people gathered at Jenny Lind Elementary School where Leila was a popular third grader. Her mother, Krystal Walters, tearfully thanked the crowd for the support. “It will never be forgotten,” she said.

TEHRAN, Iran — A pair of powerful and divisive figures registered Saturday to run in Iran’s presidential election, jolting the political landscape ahead of next month’s vote to pick a successor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a former president who still wields enormous influence, and Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, a close confident of Ahmadinejad, submitted their official paperwork just before Saturday’s deadline. Each has a good shot at winning the vote,

raising a tough challenge to conservative candidates loyal to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The race to choose a successor to Ahmadinejad, who under term-limit rules cannot
seek a third mandate, culminates with the June 14 vote. Rafsanjani now stands as the main hope for reformists. A win by Rasfanjani, who is seen as a centrist candidate and previously served as president from 1989-97, could open the way for an easing of tensions with the outside world. Mashaei, on the other hand, would mark a continuation of Ahmadinejad-era policies. “I’ll consider it my obligation to continue the path of Ahmadinejad’s government,” Mashaei told reporters after registering Saturday.

Woman: No regrets over suspect’s burial The Associated Press
DOSWELL, Va. — The Virginia woman whose actions led to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev being buried about 30 miles north of her Richmond home said the angry backlash from local officials, some cemetery neighbors and online critics has been unpleasant, but she has no regrets. “I can’t pretend it’s not difficult to be reviled and maligned,” Martha Mullen told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Friday. “But any time you can reach across the divide and work with people that are not like you, that’s what God calls us to do.” Tsarnaev, 26, was quietly buried Thursday at a small Islamic cemetery in rural Caroline County. His body had remained at a Worcester, Mass., funeral parlor since he was killed April 19 in a gunfight with police, days after the bomb-
ings that killed three and injured more than 260 in downtown Boston. Cemeteries in Massachusetts and several other states refused to accept the remains. With Martha costs to protect Mullen the funeral home mounting, Worcester police appealed for help finding a place to bury Tsarnaev. Mullen said she was at a Starbucks when she heard a radio news report about the difficulty finding a burial spot for Tsarnaev. “My first thought was Jesus said love your enemies,” she said. Then she had an epiphany. “I thought someone ought to do something about this — and I am someone,” Mullen said. So Mullen, a mental health counselor in private practice and a gradu-
ate of United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio, sent emails to various faith organizations to see what could be done. She heard back from Islamic Funeral Services of Virginia, which arranged for a funeral plot at the Al-Barzakh cemetery. “It was an interfaith effort,” she said. Mullen, a member of the United Methodist Church, said she was motivated by her own faith and that she had the full support of her pastor. “Nobody is without sin,” she said. “Certainly this was a horrific act, but he’s dead and what happened is between him and God. We just need to bury his body and move forward. People were making an issue and detracting from the healing that needed to take place.” There was little talk of healing among Caroline County officials and the cemetery’s neighbors, however. Caroline County Sheriff Tony Lippa said late Saturday that offi-
cials had examined paperwork necessary to move Tsarnaev’s corpse from Massachusetts for its Virginia burial, and the interment appears legal. But he said his small department lacks the money and personnel to provide round-the-clock stakeouts at the cemetery as deputies did Friday night, which passed without incident. “The Sheriff’s Office will offer the same amount of protection — no more and no less — to this site as any other cemetery in Caroline County,” Lippa said in a news release, noting that the owners can hire private security to guard Tsarnaev’s grave from vandals if they wish. Lippa was unhappy that he was blind-sided Friday by the covert burial, and he wasn’t alone. Even some people within the area’s Islamic community were incensed that they were not consulted about the burial in advance.
Survivors: Friends, brothers adapt to new normal Continued from Page A-1 properly wrap his stump. Norden soon will be doing this on his own, and it’s important that he knows how to maintain its conical shape as the tissue shrinks, to ensure a good fit with the prosthesis he will receive in coming months. They remove an Ace bandage, revealing the angry, jagged suture line. With Soiref’s guidance, Norden rewraps what remains of his leg, which ends above his knee. The arduous rehab at Spaulding is the second phase of the attack victims’ recovery, a grueling, at times painful, step in their transition to an uncertain future. Yet in some ways it is also a bit of a respite for this group of the most seriously injured, if such a word can be used to describe what they have been through and continue to endure. The immediate physical and psychological impacts of the blasts have slowly begun to subside. Ahead is the difficult period of learning to function outside the cocoon of support that has been spun around them. For Norden, that will mean negotiating the 14 steps up to the second-floor home in Wakefield, where he will live with his mother. It will mean learning to reach for something high in a kitchen cabinet while balancing on one leg and a crutch. It will mean adjusting the way he bathes, grappling with medical expenses and finding new ways to simply get around. His family also must care for his older brother, J.P., who lost his right leg in the bombing as well. For now, though, Paul Norden and the others are in the care of a small army of doctors, psychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, volunteers, family and friends at Spaulding, as they learn those new skills and regain others. “They are getting through this,” says Spaulding psychologist Christopher Carter. Many victims have moved on from the need to rehash the attack itself. Some have begun to startle less easily and calm down more quickly when they do. Burned skin is healing. Damaged hearing is returning. In the gym, Norden says: “I’m just focusing on learning how to walk. I don’t know what the future holds. I’m not giving up, I know that.” uuu
The five buddies from Stoneham, a mostly working-class bedroom community of 21,000 north of Boston, have known each other since elementary and middle school. Some have become closer as time has passed. They have worked, fished and played poker and basketball together for years. Most also have been coming down to the marathon every Patriots’ Day since they were able to drink legally. This year, they were there to cheer for Mike Jefferson, another friend who was running the race and was headed up the final stretch on Boylston Street. They gathered outside Forum, a bar near the finish line. The Norden brothers were there, along with Jacqui Webb, Paul Norden’s girlfriend of eight years; James “Bim” Costello; Marc Fucarile; and Jarrod Clowery, who was making his first trip to the marathon. Three older women who knew the gang were nearby. The first blast went off near the finish line, a short distance down Boylston Street from where the group stood. “Right away, I knew it was a bomb,” Costello says as a physical therapist helps him stretch his badly burned legs in the Spaulding gym. It didn’t make sense that race officials would fire a cannon to celebrate people finishing long after the winners had crossed the line. “I said, ‘That’s a bomb’ three times,” he remembers. At 35, Clowery had given up his dream of making a living as a professional pool player. Now he was sleeping on J.P. Norden’s couch, doing residential construction work with the brothers when he could get it. He was with them and their family for Easter dinner. Something told Clowery the group would be safer in the middle of Boylston Street than behind the waist-high spectator barricade outside the bar. He put one hand on the barricade and began to vault it. When the second bomb went off at ground level just a few feet away, Clowery’s legs were atop the metal fence. That’s why he still has them. He was blown into Boylston Street by the blast and opened his eyes to a scene of unspeakable carnage. A few feet away, a small boy lay dead. The street was awash in blood, littered with body parts. Costello was tangled in a barricade, his shirt and pants partially burned away. “I actually thought to myself, ‘Are these my last breaths?’ ” Costello recalls. “From head to toe, I was like on fire.” He got up and started to make his way down Boylston Street, his shirt smolder-

ing, asking for help. No one came to his aid in those first few moments. He sat on the curb and pulled two nails from his abdomen. Chain-smoking on a bench beside the Mystic River outside Spaulding, Clowery could be any guy in long, dark sweatpants and a light sweatshirt, until he rolls up his sleeve to show what looks like a small field of blackheads on the underside of his left wrist. It is actually debris — wood, plastic, dirt and other detritus blasted into his arm by the bomb. The nastiest wound is from a hot nail that entered his skin lengthwise. Sometimes Clowery uses tweezers to pull out tiny bits. Surgeons have removed denim from his thigh. In his right leg are three nails, 20 BBs and a metal spring. He faces more surgery to remove some of the objects, but others will be left to work their way to the surface or remain in his body forever. His left hand, contracted and burned by the blast, has been massaged back to health by occupational therapists. Sometimes it shakes uncontrollably. The two bombs killed three people and injured more than 260. Clowery was sure his friends were among the dead. He remembers arguing with medical personnel before finally accepting that some had been brought to the hospital with him. “You didn’t see what I saw,” he told them. Everyone in the Stoneham group survived. But both Norden brothers lost their right legs. Fucarile lost his right leg and suffered severe damage to his left. Costello was badly burned. Webb suffered shrapnel wounds in both legs, but, like Clowery, has gone home. Costello and Paul Norden are still at Spaulding, and J.P. Norden may be there soon. Costello cannot stand still, because the blood pools in his leg, causing intense pain despite the medication he takes. Therapists have worked basketballs into the regimen for him and Paul Norden, hoops fans who played regularly in pickup games and rec leagues. Costello dribbles, cuts, passes and pretends to jump shoot under the watchful eye of his physical therapist, each drill designed to improve his balance, strength and movement. At the end of his Thursday afternoon session, he gazes across the gym at Norden, who is beginning to make his way across the floor on crutches. “That’s my inspiration right there,” he says. uuu
Norden admits he did not work out much before the attack. He weighed 246 pounds. He is 206 now, but an apples-to-apples calculation is difficult. “I don’t know how much my leg weighed,” he says. He looks drawn and pale, his head newly shaved. Burned skin is a fiery red below the bandages on his remaining leg.
The luxury of being out of shape is one of many things Norden has lost to the bomb. If he is to walk again normally when he is ready for his prosthesis, he must regain his balance, strengthen his core and develop his remaining leg. He will need more upper body strength in coming months as he moves around on crutches or with a walker. He has to improve his stamina and agility. Soiref and his supervisor, Kristen Vito, put Norden through a tough 90-minute set of exercises Wednesday. He practices going up and down stairs on crutches, negotiates an obstacle course with his walker. He sits on an exercise ball and plays catch with a basketball. At times he is nervous about falling over. “If I give out, I don’t have another leg to catch me,” he says. The therapists are relentlessly positive, and by Thursday’s session, Norden’s spirits have rebounded. “I just want to be prepared, and they’re going to get me prepared,” he says about leaving Spaulding sometime soon. “So I think I’ll be confident.” In the gym on Wednesday are half a dozen soldiers from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., all with amputations or leg injuries. One man in a wheelchair is missing the lower half of his body. Another, Staff Sgt. Travis Mills, 26, lost all four limbs to an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan. Mills, who wears three different kinds of prostheses, including a myoelectric left arm that works via muscle contractions, shows amputees how to get up after falling to the floor. “We kind of came up here to show them there’s life after amputation,” Mills says. “You gotta get stronger and keep going. You can’t sit and dwell on the past. “You’re not a bad person,” he adds. “It’s not because of anything you did with your life. Things just happen.” The nearly $30 million donated to the One Fund for victims, and the money pouring into smaller and individual funds, seems staggering until costs are closely considered. For an above-the-knee amputee such as Norden, a prosthesis will cost $30,000 to $60,000 and will need replacement about every three years, according to Greg Martino, vice president of Boston-based United Prosthetics, which is working with Spaulding to outfit some of the amputees. During each three-year period, adjustments and component and socket replacements can add another $10,000 to the cost. Insurance coverage varies widely, he said. “You’re [31] years old and you’re missing a leg and you’re not working,” Clowery says of Norden. “It’s going to take five years to get well.” But all that is for the future. The Stoneham victims share a determined focus on the here and now. “I know we’ll be normal,” Norden says. “It’s just a different normal.”
Drowsy: Sleepy drivers kill thousands Continued from Page A-1 And experts say it’s a problem that can’t easily be solved by new laws because proving sleepiness behind the wheel is difficult, if not impossible. Authorities can easily determine how much alcohol is in a driver’s blood, or whether someone has used illegal drugs, or even if someone has been texting while driving. But quantifying drowsy driving is not an exact science, prosecutors say, and laws banning commercial truck and motor coach operators from driving more than 14 hours a day and requiring 10 hours between shifts are flawed because they often rely on the drivers to report those hours themselves. In a drowsy driving case late last year, a tour bus driver was acquitted of manslaughter and negligent homicide in a 2011 Bronx crash that killed 15 people. A jury rejected prosecutors’ arguments that Ophadell Williams was so sleep-deprived from working another job that it affected his reflexes as much as if he was intoxicated. That verdict influenced a Long Island prosecutor’s decision this year to drop negligent homicide charges against the truck driver involved in a fatal crash that killed Califano’s husband. Ultimately, the truck driver pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor reckless driving charge and paid a $500 fine. “If you are going to try and make fatigue — sleepiness — a criminal legal issue in a motor vehicle accident, you have a lot, lot more to prove,” said Patrick Bruno, who defended Williams in the bus crash case. Maureen McCormick, who heads the Nassau County vehicular crimes bureau, explained that to obtain a conviction in the police officer’s death, she would have had to prove “serious blameworthiness,” “moral blameworthiness” or “dangerous speeding,” a standard she said is impossible to meet. “Drowsy driving is something that generally has happened to everyone,” McCormick said. “The question is what do we do as a society when that feeling starts to come?” When McCormick read a statement at the truck driver’s sentencing on behalf of Officer Michael Califano’s widow, veteran police officers and journalists wiped away tears. “Michael, Christopher and Andrew now have to grow up without him,” McCormick said as Jackie Califano sat in the front row of the courtroom, hugging her sons, 16, 13 and 8. “No more doing homework with his help. No more sports with him. No more family vacations. No more horsing around with dad. No dad for Father/Son Night at school. No dad at home to turn to when they need advice.” New Jersey is the only state that has successfully passed legislation addressing drowsy driving, according to Dan Brown, an Atlanta attorney and member of the National Sleep Foundation board of directors. But he noted that “Maggie’s Law” doesn’t fully solve the problem because prosecutors must show that a driver had been awake for 24 consecutive hours to prove possible recklessness, which is often a difficult proposition. New Jersey court officials didn’t have statistics available on the number of arrests or successful prosecutions since the law was enacted in 2003. Massachusetts state Sen. Richard Moore said he considered legislation after a constituent’s son was killed in a 2002 drowsy driving crash. But, Moore said, “It’s not as easy as drunken driving; there’s not a good deal of research.” Instead, Massachusetts is including early warning tips in driving manuals, and there is an effort to add rumble strips that warn drivers when they are drifting off the road when state highways are resurfaced, he said. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration says while sleep is the best cure, drinking two cups of coffee, followed by a 15- to 20-minute nap, can refresh some drivers for a short period of time. Things like turning up the radio volume, singing loudly, chewing gum or eating, and getting out of the car and running around are not effective. “There’s not a way to legislate against sleepiness,” said Bruce Hamilton, manager of research and communications at the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, which instead focuses on public education campaigns and issuing brochures advising on the dangers. Last summer, drivers in Tennessee’s four largest cities saw message boards imploring them to not drive while drowsy, along with a running tally of highway fatalities in that state. Mark Rosekind, a National Transportation Safety Board member who formerly directed a sleep research center at Stanford University, says it’s a pervasive problem that requires a culture change to fix. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study this year that found 4 percent of U.S. adults nodded off or fell asleep at least once while driving in the previous month. “For some reason, people in our culture think it’s OK to lose sleep and get behind the wheel,” Rosekind said. “It’s just as bad as drinking and driving. As far as public awareness, drowsy driving is in the Dark Ages compared to that, but it’s just as dangerous. “The issue has been around for a while and we need to get the word out. Clearly it has not penetrated our culture.”

Syria group blamed as blasts in Turkey kill 43 Bombings likely to pressure U.S. to take stronger position The Associated Press
REYHANLI, Turkey — In one of the deadliest attacks in Turkey in recent years, two car bombs exploded near the border with Syria on Saturday, killing 43 and wounding 140 others. Turkish officials blamed the attack on a group linked to Syria, and a deputy prime minister called the neighboring country’s intelligence service and military “the usual suspects.” The blasts, which were 15 minutes apart and hit the town of Reyhanli’s busiest street, raised fears that Turkey could increasingly be drawn into Syria’s brutal civil war. Turkey already hosts Syria’s political opposition and rebel commanders, has given shelter to hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees and in the past retaliated against Syrian shells that landed in Turkey.
Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay said the assailants were from Turkey, but were linked to Syria’s intelligence service. “We have to a great extent completed our work toward identifying the assailants,” he told reporters. “We have established that the organization and assailants have links to the pro-regime mukhabarat [intelligence] organization.” He did not name the group, but said the aim of the attack was to pit Turks against Syrian refugees in Reyhanli. Earlier, another deputy prime minister, Bulent Arinc said: “Our thoughts are that their mukhabarat and armed organizations are the usual suspects in planning and the carrying out of such devilish plans.” Arinc said the attacks were still being investigated, but that if it’s proven that Syrian was behind the attack, Turkey would “do whatever is necessary,” without specifying if that included military action. One of the car bombs exploded outside the city hall,

while the other went off outside the post office. Reyhanli, a main hub for Syrian refugees and rebels in Turkey’s Hatay province, is just across the border from Syria’s Idlib province. Private NTV television, citing unnamed security sources, said the explo-
sions were remote-controlled and that plastic explosives were used. The explosions came days before Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to travel to the U.S. for talks, which are expected to be dominated
by the situation in Syria. The car bombings also follow allegations by Erdogan that the Syrian regime has fired about 200 missiles tipped with chemical weapons. Syrian mortar rounds have fallen over the border before, but if the blasts turn out to be linked to Syria, it would be by far the biggest death toll in Turkey related to its neighbor’s civil war. The bombings “will increase the pressure on the U.S. president next week to do something to show support to Turkey when Erdogan visits him in Washington,” said Soner Cagaptay, an expert on Turkey at the Washington Institute. “Washington will be forced to take a more pro-active position on Syria, at least in rhetoric, whether or not there is appetite for such a position here.”
Salman Shaikh, director of the Brookings Doha Center, said the attack may force Turkey to take action. “It should be a defining moment for Turkey,” Shaikh said. “It has been supporting the rebels, and there has been strong rhetoric. But this may be a moment where it really has to assert itself — if it is the Assad regime [behind the bombings], and it is quite conceivable it is.” Turkey’s opposition criticized the government’s policy on Syria, saying its active support of the rebels had put the country’s security at risk. “Erdogan’s discourse of hatred toward Assad and provocations against the administration in Damascus is coming back to us in the form of attacks and provocations,” said Devlet Bahceli, chairman of a nationalist opposition party.

Guilty verdict in genocide trial soothes Guatemala
A-7
MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION
By Sonia Perez Diaz The Associated Press
GUATEMALA CITY — Former Guatemalan dictator Efrain Rios Montt spent his first full day as a convict Saturday in a 16- by 13-foot cell with a small bed, bathroom and window, after receiving a landmark 80-year sentence for genocide and crime against humanity. It was a steep fall for the now86-year-old former strongman who ruled Guatemala from March 1982 to August 1983, during the height of a brutal civil war that killed 200,000 people, mainly Indians. A tribunal on Friday ruled that Rios Montt knew about the slaughter of at least 1,771 Ixil Maya in Guatemala’s western highlands and didn’t stop it, handing down the first genocide conviction ever given to a Latin American strongman in his own country. The former general was transferred to prison later that evening. “He is not comfortable, but as a good soldier, he is used to this,” said Rios Montt’s lawyer, Francisco Palomo, who is expected to seek to have the ex-general transferred to a hospital or to have his sentence be served under house arrest. Matamoros prison, where Rios Montt is now behind bars, is located on a military base in Guatemala City, where the former general spent time as a young cadet. It was built to house highprofile inmates who could be unsafe in normal prisons. Authorities there say he has the right to spend two hours outside his cell each day, but guarded by officers. He has the right to three daily meals, though family members can also bring him food. Most in Guatemala feel the sentence prison represents a

triumph after a long struggle in a country still recovering from a 36-year-civil war that ended with peace accords in 1996. “It’s very valuable to us, totally refreshing. We deserved it,” said human rights activist Helen Mack. Genocidal massacres occurred before and after Rios Montt, “but the bulk of the killing took place under Rios Montt,” said Victoria Sanford an anthropologist at Lehman College-City University of New York who spent about 50 months in excavations of at least eight massacre sites. The long sentence was a message, activists said, that the previously untouchable and brutal military structures need to be held accountable. Guatemala’s maximum sentence is 50 years, making the 80 years symbolic. The three-judge panel also ordered prosecutors to continue investigating to bring all those responsible for abuses to justice. Until now, only low or middle-level officials have been prosecuted for war atrocities. On Monday, the same court will meet to discuss the compensation for the victims. Indians and activists
applauded and some wept after hearing Friday’s ruling. But some are wondering if Rios Montt can successfully appeal. Adding to their worries is the fact that Guatemala’s current president, Otto Perez Molina, still refuses to acknowledge that genocide took place. Perez Molina’s name was brought up during the trial when a former soldier accused him of ordering executions while serving in the military in the Rios Montt regime. He called the testimony “lies.” In Rios Montt’s trial, dozens of Ixil Mayas stood up and testified of atrocities, such as mass rapes and killing of children by the military. Nobel Peace laureate Rigoberta Menchu says Guatemala’s moment strengthens the world’s powerless. Ixil Mayas, she said, can teach other oppressed groups around the world to stand by their rights and not to rest until tyrants are punished by law. “This could mean that everyone, all indigenous people all over the planet who have been treated with hatred, who have been branded as liars, could hopefully start living in harmony,” Menchu said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Readers right about Klopf, wrong about Objectivism
C
ritics of Dorothy Klopf (“Are we building a safety net or a safety sofa?” April 21) rightly portrayed her as an advocate of Ayn Rand’s policies, but they haven’t the faintest idea whatsoever of what Rand’s philosophy, Objectivism, is all about. To argue that Rand was in favor of any concept of subsidy, grant, bail out, incentive, tax break or any other concession to corporations or businesses from their cronies in big government is absurd. It is only because of big government that lobbyists and influence peddlers can prosper. As a case in point, read Atlas Shrugged and see how Wesley Mouch, the arch villain lobbyist, is depicted. Better yet, read Rand’s capitalism: The Unknown Ideal. Paul Hibbert

Stolen speech Rep. Stephen Easley correctly affirms that stealing political signs is both a crime and a sad sign of the times. Mistakenly, some “gadflies” have interpreted his letter as accusing those who put up signs opposing Eldorado Community Improvement Association bylaw changes of stealing them from his campaign. On Wednesday, Easley confirmed that he meant no such thing; instead he condemned the theft of any political signs (speech). Most of the “vote no” signs were borrowed old real estate signs. A couple of signs were recycled from Easley’s campaign, donated by Easley contributors who supported the nobylaw-change effort. Bylaw changes aside, we unequivocally agree with Rep. Easley that finding a way to return Eldorado to a more civil political process is extremely important. Open civil discourse is essential. ECIA board communication with its members must undergo major improvements. This would require the board
to come down from the litigiousness cliff and, in good faith, negotiate solutions. Robert Christie Ron Dans

Manipulating facts The president lied. It is becoming quite clear from the testimony of Greg Hicks, career diplomat of 22 years and second in command of the Benghazi embassy, that President Barack Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton manipulated the facts regarding the terrorist attack and were responsible for the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three Navy SEALs. Testimony indicates that the YouTube video was not an issue. Not only did these two people lie to the American people, they were comforting the widow of Stevens and the families of the Navy SEALs, all the while knowing that they were involved in the cover-up of the deaths. I cannot think of any other reason for this betrayal than to protect his chances for reelection. Obama has shown what lengths he will go to protest his office and his power. I am looking forward to his impeachment. Clinton Coffman

Energy savings I would like to congratulate Lisa Randall (energy conservation program coordinator for Santa Fe Public Schools) and the school system for their efforts to reduce energy and water usage in fiscal year 2012. Over the past two years, they have reduced natural gas usage by 17 percent, electricity usage by 9 percent and water usage by 13 percent. This has saved
SFPS $389,000 over this two-year period. The water-usage reduction is a savings of 7,043,000 gallons, certainly very important to us all in this drought that we are experiencing. Reducing electricity energy usage by 9 percent is quite significant. If everyone reduced their electricity usage by 9 percent, Public Service Company of New Mexico could retire 150 megawatts of coal capacity, thus reducing a million tons of carbon that affects climate, 1,800 tons of air pollutants that cause health problems and reducing water usage by hundreds of millions of gallons.

id you know there is a congressional resolution titled “Apologies to Native Peoples of the United States?” It was attached to the 2010 Department of Defense Appropriations Act and signed by President Barack Obama. Paraphrasing, it states: “The United States, acting through Congress, recognizes and acknowledges the special legal and political relationship tribes have with the U.S.; commends and honors Native peoples for the thousands of years they have stewarded and protected this land. “[The U.S.] recognizes that there have been years of official depredations, ill-conceived policies and the breaking of covenants by the federal government regarding Indian tribes. [The U.S. government] apologizes on behalf of the people of the United States to all Native peoples for the many Harlan instances of violence, maltreatMcKosato ment and neglect inflicted upon Native peoples by citizens of the Commentary United States “[The U.S.] expresses its regret for the ramifications of former wrongs and its commitment to build on the positive relationships of the past and present to move forward toward a brighter future and urges the President to acknowledge the wrongs of the United States against Indian tribes … in the history of this country … in order to bring healing to this land.” I talked about this resolution on my former radio show when it was signed by President Obama in December 2009. No one really heard about it back then, and here we are more than three years later and still not many have heard about this congressional resolution. In my opinion, not that many people care. What good is an apology if the person or the people you are apologizing to never hear it? And what’s the difference between an official apology and a public apology? Does it make a difference if the president signs a piece of paper with virtually no one watching as an official U.S. apology to Native people? Would you rather see the president stand up before a television audience and make the apology for all the world to see? Tribal leaders and others out in Indian Country are still asking the president for an official public apology. Do you think it will happen before he leaves office? What good is a silent apology? “If you look at other examples of work that’s been done in transitional justice worldwide, to heal past harms done or conflicts between people or nations, part of the process of healing and reconciliation is the public admission of wrongs done and the acknowledgment of the pain that was caused,” said Lise Balk King of Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. “It’s part of the human rights framework. So why the president would sign this apology and not make it public is the question that needs to be asked. “Canada is the most stark contrast to the ways things are being handled here,” added Balk King. “Their government literally shut things down nationwide to request that their 30 million citizens tune in and to pay attention and to watch [their government’s apology to First Nation peoples]. That happened.” The “Apology to Native People” resolution was sponsored by U.S. Sens. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., and Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii. But, it was added as an attachment to the defense appropriations bill, so no one really ever heard it. What is wrong with this picture? Tribal leaders have seemingly given up on pushing the president to make this apology public. It’s never too late. If the president ever decides to make a public apology to Native peoples, should we accept it in a traditional way? What would be the appropriate way for tribes to accept this apology? Should we have his adoptive parents from the Crow Tribe of Montana accept it on behalf of the entire Indian Nations? You can do it, Mr. President.

COMMENTARY: CONNIE SCHULTZ
In Cleveland, the pain of a community of strangers W e are reeling in Cleveland. Not 24 hours after President Barack Obama took the stage at Ohio State University’s commencement ceremony and celebrated our country’s collective response to recent tragedies, news broke that three young women who had vanished more than a decade ago from this city were found in a home on the near west side. “We’ve seen the petty divisions of color and class and creed replaced by a united urge to help each other,” Obama said on Sunday. “We’ve seen courage and compassion, a sense of civic duty, and a recognition we are not a collection of strangers.” On Monday, our nation watched, riveted, as it emerged that Ariel Castro allegedly held Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight captive in a house on Seymour Avenue for years. Neighbors never suspected a thing. “He was a nice guy,” Juan Perez told Cleveland’s NewsChannel5.
“He would come around and say hi. He gave the kids rides up and down the street on his four-wheeler. He would ask me if I wanted a ride. … He seemed like he was a good guy to the kids that were here. … I didn’t think anything of it.” Residents here are stunned for reasons beyond the immediate shock. Surely, we celebrate that these young women are alive. We cheer for good Samaritan Charles Ramsey, who responded to Berry’s screams for help, broke down the door to free her and called 911. Still, a haunting narrative, born of too-recent history and unhealed wounds, kicks in: Again, this has happened to our women. Again, right under our noses. In the fall of 2009, Cleveland police found the bodies of 11 African American women buried on the other side of town, at the home of convicted sexual predator Anthony Sowell. This was no
ordinary crime scene, and our town was overrun by national and international media as the story unfolded in horrifying detail over several days. Two women were buried in the basement. Five were buried in Sowell’s backyard. Four bodies were found in the third-floor sitting room near Sowell’s bedroom. As I wrote at the time for the Plain Dealer, neighbors had complained for nearly two years about the stench. The city flushed drainpipes and replaced the sewer line, but the stink persisted. Some residents tried to blame the sausage shop next door, but employees there also complained about the smell. As for the missing women, they had troubled histories and distant family ties, triggering indifference among police. After their bodies were found at Sowell’s house, city officials responded to public outrage with an independent investigation and new police policies. Sowell, who enjoyed binding his

victims and forcing eye contact as he killed them, was convicted on 11 counts of murder and sentenced to death. When the news of Sowell’s crimes first broke, I was in Hong Kong for a two-week seminar with graduate journalism students. I will never forget that classroom, most of them young women, all of them born under China’s “one child” policy, asking me over and over, “How could these women have disappeared and no one knew where they were?” How, indeed. This time, the headlines from Cleveland are better, but the news still leaves us breathless and full of questions. Berry, who is 27, was 16 when she was abducted. DeJesus, who is 23, was only 14. Knight was 20 when she vanished in 2002, and police considered her a runaway. Steadily, more details about Castro dribble out. He was arrested for domestic violence in 1993, but the
grand jury did not indict him. In 2000, he called police about a fight in the street, but there were no arrests. In 2004, police knocked on his door after Castro, a school bus driver, reportedly left a child on a bus. No one answered the door, and he was later absolved of any criminal wrongdoing. “I’m not the only one on the block that feels ashamed to know that we didn’t notice anything,” Perez told the TV station. “I mean, I feel like my head’s low, I work at a school, I work with kids. … I have a heavy heart right now.” His pain is our pain. We all know that no one person is to blame, but everyone is at fault when we are a community of strangers. This column was special to The Washington Post.

A smoother ride for the spaceport
B
uilding Spaceport America in Southern New Mexico always was a risk. After all, no one knew whether businesses would flock to the spaceport after it opened — and that was after spending $209 million in taxpayer dollars to get it built. An empty spaceport, of course, would be one with little value and no investment return for taxpayers. We are encouraged, though, by events of recent months. First, the New Mexico Legislature passed a law to offer liability exemption to spaceport suppliers and manufacturers, something viewed as essential to getting the operation up and running. Next, Virgin Galactic, the Spaceport’s anchor tenant, successfully broke the speed of sound in a test flight of SpaceShipTwo over the Mojave Desert, a necessary step before the first commercial spaceflights can be launched. Full spaceflight testing is expected to start sometime before year’s end. Those tests are necessary, of course, before Virgin Galactic can take tourists into space and back. Already, some 500 aspiring space tourists have paid $200,000 (or a hefty deposit) for the opportunity to soar into space. Last week came the announcement that the Space Exploration Technologies Corp. — SpaceX for short — has signed on as a tenant. The company already has flown two cargo spaceships to the International Space Station under contract with NASA. In New Mexico, SpaceX will be flight testing the Grasshopper, a reusable, vertically launched rocket that can carry human passengers — taking off, touching space and heading back down with passengers. The company’s prestige is important to establishing Spaceport America as a going concern. Back in the 1990s, a group of smart New Mexicans realized that our wide-open spaces and skies were a perfect location for commercial spaceflight. These space backers started the Southwest Space Task Force to promote New Mexico as a location for an Federal Aviation Administration-approved Spaceport. That led to the state Legislature establishing an Office for Space Commercialization in 1994, with a parcel of state land being identified that summer for the future spaceport. It took Gov. Bill Richardson and his then-Economic Development Secretary Rick Homans to move the idea along, pass legislation and begin construction financed by taxpayers. Now a decade after those efforts, things are falling into place. Cooperation, compromise and a willingness to look ahead from a number of visionaries made the dream of a commercial space industry a reality. It took Gov. Susana Martinez’s push to pass the limited liability bill that was holding up businesses from locating their space initiatives in New Mexico. This has been a broad-based New Mexico effort. Developing the commercial space industry was and remains a natural fit for New Mexico. From weather, to land, to low population and 4,000-foot elevation, there are few places in the nation — or the world — that can support the business of launching people and cargo into space the way New Mexico can. To jump-start the industry, New Mexico’s taxpayers shelled out millions. That investment — should things keep rolling along — is about to be paid back with an industry that will take the Land of Enchantment into the future, bringing jobs, tax revenues and visitors.
The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: May 12, 1913: Sam Jackson, a colored man, was arrested by Santa Fe Officer F.H. Hill last night on the charge of carrying weapons. Jackson had on his person, besides the usual razor, a big .45 caliber revolver, and Officer Hill, thinking he might accidentally do some damage with the toy, put him under arrest. When brought before Judge D.R. Murray in the city court this morning, Jackson was fined $15 and the costs of the case, which he paid and was released. C.W. Jaycox also was arrested by Officer Hill last night. When brought before the judge this morning, he pleaded guilty of the charge of vagrancy and was given the choice of serving 30 days in jail or moving along. Walking was good this morning so Mr. Jaycox left. May 12, 1963: Española — A state police roadblock and two pistol shots fired in warning ended a three-day crime spree for five teenage youths here Friday night. Two beginnings, one outcome. Two Denver youths stole a car and headed south. They picked up a third Denver youth and continued south committing burglary and another car theft. Two Albuquerque youths ran away from home and hitchhiked to Española, stole a car but abandoned it, and hitchhiked to Taos. Denver met Albuquerque in Taos and drove to Chama, where they were stopped and questioned by state police and released. However, police Officer Juan Santistevan did a routine check on the car and learned it was stolen. The boys aged 13 to 16 were chased south to where a roadblock had been set up north of Hernandez. May 12, 1988: Giving no reasons to explain the move, District Judge Bruce Kaufman removed himself from court cases in which the District Attorney’s Office is acting as one of the attorneys. In the recusal, which Kaufman filed Tuesday as part of a criminal case he was hearing, he reserved the right to continue presiding over some of the cases. Kaufman’s decision affects from 300 to 350 criminal and children’s court cases. District Judge Art Encinias, who is serving as presiding judge for the district, volunteered to handle the cases until the caseload among the six judges could be rearranged. The five other judges are now handling roughly five times the number of cases at this time.
COMMENTARY: PETULA DVORAK
Military isn’t dealing with sex assaults
I
f you need more evidence that much of the U.S. military treats sexual assault like one big frathouse joke, look no further than what allegedly happened outside a bar near Washington in the early morning hours of Cinco de Mayo. That’s where the 41-year-old lieutenant colonel in charge of the Air Force’s sexual assault prevention program allegedly groped the breasts and butt of a woman in a parking lot of a bar in Arlington, Va., police said. The police report said he was drunk. And if you’ve been wondering why he had cuts on his face in his police mug shot, a witness told me that the woman pulled out a cellphone and started hitting him with it. Lt. Col. Jeffrey Krusinski was “removed from his position immediately” when the Air Force learned of his arrest, an Air Force spokeswoman at the Pentagon said earlier this week. But then something revealing happened. The military tried to take the case away from the Arlington police. Department of Defense people asked Arlington County Commonwealth’s Attorney Theo Stamos to just turn it over to them. Don’t bother with your little county court stuff, why don’t you just let us handle our boy over here at the Pentagon? But Stamos, to her credit, refused. The case was on her turf. It had been a slow night in Arlington — there was a stolen Buick LaSabre and a burglary with a Dell laptop, a gold ring and $60 taken. So cops responded quickly when the woman called for help at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday. Arlington Police Cpl. Geoffrey Gammell arrived, a man as beefy and closecropped as Krusinski, and treated the incident with the seriousness that it deserved. He booked Krusinski on a mis-
demeanor charge of sexual battery. Some people say Krusinki is a familiar figure along this faded strip of restaurants and pubs in Arlington. It’s walking distance from the Pentagon and his apartment. One waitress I interviewed recognized his booking mug right away. “Oh, he’s the one who orders just sausages” when he’s been drinking. “He’s nice!” she said. “I feel bad for him.” Krusinski, an Air Force Academy graduate with lots of military medals and no public record of lawbreaking, is a guy who puts a football field as his Facebook profile photo, stays in touch with his high school wrestling buddies from Ohio and lists sports pubs and Malcolm Gladwell books as his Facebook “likes.” At one of his “liked” bars in Arlington, the folks said he’s a regular. He’s known as a nice guy, no problems. At another, the bartender told me I had to talk to the owner when I asked her if she knows Krusinski. One of her customers, a guy with his federal identification badge hanging around his neck, a pint in front of him and an unlit cig dangling from his lips, threw his head back and laughed: “As your personal, public affairs specialist I say, well played,” he told the bartender. The owner, who offered a friendly handshake and a bright smile, said he’s never seen Krusinski there. The person I really want to talk to is the woman who smacked him with her cellphone. (The witness to her response asked not to be identified.) She’s my new hero. His rank didn’t matter one bit to her, if she was even aware of it. For decades, women in the military brave enough to point a finger at their attackers were often ignored or punished. That selective deafness may not be limited to men, either. The day after Krusins-
ki’s arrest, we learned that Lt. Gen. Susan Helms, who is also an astronaut, granted clemency earlier this year to a convicted sex offender. Her decision may cost her a promotion, the Post’s Craig Whitlock reported. Same thing happened in February, when Lt. Gen. Craig Franklin tossed out a star fighter pilot’s sexual assault conviction and ordered his release from prison. Just as the Cinco de Mayo haze cleared on Siete de Mayo, the Pentagon released a report showing a gigantic increase in reports of sexual assaults over the past two years. There were 3,374 recorded reports of sexual assault in 2012, compared with 3,192 the previous year. That’s a 35 percent jump. Some studies estimate that only about 17 percent of the victims ever report the attacks, making it difficult to know the extent of the problem. The Defense Department also used an anonymous survey to learn that 26,000 people — men and women — experienced “unwanted sexual contact” last year, another big increase from about 19,300 in 2010. The military needs to start taking this problem seriously because it keeps getting worse. Gammell was right to arrest Krusinski that night. And Stamos deserves kudos for refusing to turn a case on her turf over to military investigators. Hey Pentagon commanders, look over that 395 freeway on-ramp, just past the McDonald’s and Macy’s, and see how allegations of sexual assault ought to be dealt with. Like a potential crime. Petula Dvorak writes for the Washington Post.

Remember history when considering Syria
H
as anyone really spelled out how difficult it could be achieving the United States’ long-term political goals regarding Syria? Are they achievable? How about the cost in blood and treasure? I’m not talking about just military activities such as getting arms to the Free Syrian Army or setting up a no-fly zone. Those are operational efforts that could help oust President Bashar Assad. It’s what comes after that I’m talking about. What has the United States learned in 60 years about the long-term unexpected and unintended consequences of trying to establish “a multi-sect, democratic transition” and “peace and harmony” in countries with no such traditions — particularly after using U.S. military force for what seemed the right reasons? Korea? Pushing back the communist invaders from the North in the 1950s cost 36,000 American lives. Today, U.S. Army troops remain in South Korea, 28,000 strong. But the Seoul government is democratic. Vietnam? We lost 58,000 service personnel in the late 1960s and early 1970s, then lost the war. Today the United States has relations with the communist government we fought against. Afghanistan began as a justified, limited military action to wipe out al-Qaida after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. It grew through mission creep into rebuilding Afghanistan and its government institutions and remains a work in progress — with 2,200 deaths and 18,460 wounded. Iraq was different. It was a war of choice, justified under questionable circumstances and cost 4,400 U.S. dead, with some 32,000 wounded. With post-war South Korea, the United

States found itself in the 1950s reluctantly supporting the tyrannical president of that country, Syngman Rhee, because he was anti-communist and promised to become democratic. U.S. financial support aided Rhee’s security forces and the country’s economic sector. Ultimately, the South Koreans forced more democracy into their governmental system. The United States tried to build up South Vietnam’s security forces and force democratic nation-building on Saigon’s weak, autocratic regime. Both efforts failed because the broader public failed to join in. Vietnam was a cautionary tale in 1991 for President George H.W. Bush during the Persian Gulf War. The goal was to return Kuwait to its leaders. The military operation was to drive out Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi troops. Afterward, Bush did not go to Baghdad as some advised, or try to make Kuwait more democratic. Unfortunately, his approach didn’t influence his son 12 years later. Using overwhelming force, George W. Bush drove Saddam Hussein from power, but he and his closest advisers didn’t understand Iraq’s internal dynamics and failed to prepare for the post-war insurgency in which the United States became the enemy. The Bush administration’s ham-handed attempts at nation-building featured dismantling the Iraqi military and efforts to rebuild it while trying to introduce democratic institutions in a country with no such traditions. The more than $1 trillion effort remains a long-term question mark. One thing seems certain: Iraq is far from the lighthouse of democracy that thenDeputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz told Congress it would become. Afghanistan might have been different, had the U.S. not all but abandoned the
country after driving Osama bin Laden out in December 2001 and ending Taliban rule. Efforts to create a democratic government and build up national Afghan security forces have been hard. Next year will be the test. The Afghans have set a presidential election in April, when most U.S. and coalition combat troops will have departed. The 1991 Gulf War and, more recently, Libya and Mali, should be models for Syria. Each had U.N. backing, European country and/or neighboring nation military support with U.S. forces — after Kuwait — playing a secondary role. Too many U.S. armchair strategists are pushing for military intervention without acknowledging its complexity. Sustaining a no-fly zone is a far different operation than striking a few discreet targets from a short range and returning home, as the Israelis apparently did last week. Finally, drop the idea that by providing some rebel groups limited military support, the United States, absent its own significant ground force, could have a major role in a post-war Syrian government. Who really thinks Americans would be the right people to bring together the competing ethnic, religious and secular groups that make up the diverse Syrian populace? Nor could the United States provide the billions to rebuild the country and supervise the formation of a “stable democratic system” that Obama, Abrams — and probably most of us — would like to see emerge.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Supporters of Lamy’s Legal Tender speak out T he Legal Tender reopened about a year ago in Lamy. In years past, this location was the home of a for-profit restaurant. Today it is a nonprofit restaurant supporting the rail museum. The restaurant is now threatened with closure, not because it is unsuccessful, but because it is too successful. The intent of the business of the restaurant was to provide support to the nonprofit rail museum. I also volunteer monthly as hostess, allowing more money for donation to the museum. But it is more than money. The restaurant has been successful in creating traffic, ensuring the museum fulfills its mission. People of all ages have come to the Legal Tender to eat good food, hear good music and see the history of the railroad in our small part of the country. It is not open occasionally, but from Thursday through Sunday, with routine hours. It will be a great loss if closed.

I would like to express my views on saving the Legal Tender. I heard recently that the museum owner is intending to have it closed. I live in the Washington, D.C., area and every year take the train round trip to Lamy and visit. I love both the museum and Legal Tender. In fact, Legal Tender is probably my favorite restaurant in the country and is something truly unique. It combines history and community in a living active way, in a remote area that makes it special. It has a good extended season, allowing for more visitors. It brings people in to see the museum items who might not otherwise. I very much hope it remains open. Alex Posxt
Arlington, Va. It’s been a long time coming, but finally the little sleepy town of Lamy has seen a spark of life. That nice old building across from the train station is being put to a positive use. The Legal Tender restaurant
since its opening has become an actual place to meet, greet and share for the residents in and around the town of Lamy. As I’m sure many people know, this operation is totally staffed by volunteers. The history of this little town, the Harvey Hotel that once was here, its having been the the train stop for Santa Fe in the 1800s, all call for a social gathering place like the Legal Tender. We don’t need a little make-believe museum. We need something that brings our little town and its history alive. History is only the past if it has no living connection to the present.
Legal Tender. One of the reasons is that it is “too successful.” Thanks to the efforts of John and Cindy Jednek, the place is no longer dead. It brings people together in the surrounding communities and beyond. Frankly, the museum is boring. No one would pay attention to it were it not for the restaurant’s stewardship. A new board needs to be elected. One that has the community’s best interest at heart. I want to spend my Fourth of July in celebration of that wonderful place.

Lamy
Seems like the board of directors of the Legal Tender in Lamy want to close the restaurant because it is not in keeping with its idea of what a “museum” should be. It seems like a strange position to take, since the original intent for the building was a bar and restaurant. What better way to get the feeling for the old place than sitting around eating a good meal and drinking a beer while you listen to country music and watch people dance on the dance floor. When I am there, I feel like I am participating in the history of the Legal Tender. That sure beats sitting around listening to some docent blab about what it used to be like to eat and drink there.

As a resident of Eldorado, I would like to express my sadness at the plan to close the Legal Tender restaurant in Lamy.

I am adding my name to the long list of those supporting the Legal Tender restaurant staying open. It is a vital gathering place for locals, providing food and music in a unique setting. It also works in conjunction with the Santa Fe Southern Railway, seeing train that runs seasonally to Lamy and back. The Legal Tender is a terrific spot for tourists to get a real feel of the rural New Mexican flavor. Instead of closing, more could be done in the way of appreciating the history of Lamy and the tie to the St. Francis Cathedral. It should not be lost for the whim of one or two when so many are served by its being there! Kimberly Duran

Foxes are guarding health care hen house
B
eginning in January, the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange is supposed to provide the single doorway to affordable health insurance coverage for more than 300,000 uninsured New Mexicans. Regrettably, the board selected by Gov. Susana Martinez and the legislative leadership is rife with conflicts of interest and at least one individual wants the reforms dismantled. To start, let’s take a look at this newly appointed board. Two of the 13 members are there by virtue of their office, the secretary of the Department of Human Services and the superintendent of insurance, leaving 11 other openings. Instead of appointing those who would defend the best interests of the customers of the exchange — individual policyholders and employees of small businesses — the governor and the legislative leadership filled eight of the remaining 11 board positions with five providers and three insurers. That gives those who stand to gain financially from the operations of the exchange a majority.
This is highly problematic. With more than 300,000 New Mexicans soon becoming eligible to receive more affordable health insurance through Medicaid or a federal subsidy through the exchange, implementation of health care reform could be a game-changer in our state. But the people in charge of the exchange have a fiduciary duty to the bottom line of their organizations, not to delivering quality affordable health insurance to New Mexicans. To add insult to injury, the governor’s appointment to the board’s consumer advocate position is Dr. Deane Waldman, author of the book, Uproot Healthcare, and an avowed opponent of the Affordable Care Act. Dr. Waldman has actively worked against implementation of the Affordable Care Act, even calling it a “life-threatening parasitic infestation with tapeworm” like “those ugly, evillooking worms with teeth as in science fiction classic, Dune, just smaller.” Does Martinez actually believe that Dr. Waldman is going to work to make sure the
exchange provides affordable health insurance for the maximum number of New Mexicans? Martinez and the legislative leadership have chosen the interests of insurers and providers over the interests of health insurance consumers. They may say they are following the letter of the law, which was not well-written, but they are most certainly not following the spirit of the law. Nor are they acting in the best interests of New Mexicans. The terms of the Exchange Board members are staggered, with some ending as early as 2014. As these terms expire the governor and legislative leadership should replace appointees with people who truly represent those who the exchange is supposed to serve — individual policyholders and employees of small employers. Judith K. Williams is a board member of the League of Women Voters of New Mexico.
n the last month, one of our prominent nonprofits — a Santa Fe cultural icon — ran a full-page spread in The Santa Fe New Mexican thanking donors and listing their various levels of giving. If any organization to which I donated were to spend thousands thanking me publicly, it would be the last time they received a check from me. I consider that an egregious squandering of resources and evidence that my donation is not really needed. If you are in the upper levels economically in Santa Fe, it is easy to remain oblivious that we are sheltering homeless people so they don’t freeze to death, providing resources to homeless children who are trying to attend school, preventing adolescents from committing suicide by providing free family therapy, counseling rape victims — including children — providing food and a plethora of other services to sometimes desperate residents. Any of these nonprofit agencies would love to have the money spent on a flashy thank-you ad. Santa Fe reportedly has more than 600 nonprofits, all vying for contributions to survive. In fact, some aren’t surviving at all, or, if they are, it is by the skin of their teeth and by cutting back on valuable programs that provide needed services in our community. In the past three years, several of our nonprofits have folded due to lack of funding while others are merging to try and ward off extinction. Meanwhile, certain nonprofits in our community flourish and continue to shore up their already healthy endowments. These nonprofits are the socially prominent organizations in Santa Fe. The opera, the symphony, our museums,
the Lensic, etc., are a wonderful part of our community and I believe people should donate to them. They Melissa contribute J. Leehan greatly to the overall cultural identity and quality of life in Santa Fe. However, do they need to receive such a large slice of the philanthropic pie when a huge segment of our community lives below, or just barely at, the poverty line? What would happen if the next time you were about to write a check for $10,000 to a tony nonprofit, you, instead, gave them $7,500 and the other $2,500 to The Food Depot? Christian Century magazine recently quoted statistics from an article in the March 20 edition of The Atlantic comparing the giving habits between wealthy people and their poorer counterparts. Those in the top 20 percent give 1.3 percent of their income, usually to arts and education, while those in the bottom 20 percent give 3.2 percent of their income to churches and social-service agencies. The article postulated that those in the upper 20 percent were more isolated and therefore had less empathy with truly needy people, while those in the lower 20 percent were more familiar with the challenges of meeting basic needs to survive. I wonder how closely this mirrors the inequity in Santa Fe? Melissa J. Leehan, M.A., LMFT, is a marriage and family therapist with a private practice in Santa Fe who believes the bumper sticker “We all do better when we all do better.”

In U.S., cheating runs rampant
F
rankly, I am bewildered that there is so much curiosity as to why there is cheating in schools and how to address this as if it were an isolated problem (“Exploring the culture of cheating,” April 15). To me it seems blatantly obvious. Ours is a culture of cheating. Banks cheat customers, taxpayers, government. Advertising — the most cynical of all aspects of the culture — is built on considerable misrepresentation (cheating). Corporations cheat the public, the customers, the government. Cigarette companies lie. Virtually every element of the culture is based on cheating. And that cheating comes without any ill consequences. No one from banks or corporations ever goes to prison; there is no “truth in advertising.” In school, the focus is all on grades, not on learning. The entire focus of and on education in this country is on how it will help students make more money — get better jobs — the more degrees, the more money. I have never heard anyone ever mention that education has intrinsic value, that it enhances the quality of our lives, makes life more interesting and fulfilling. We do not have, in this country, the regard for education and learning that is integral to the countries of Europe, Scandinavia, Japan and also Russia and China. These countries value learning for its own sake as well as for material advancement. Even President Barack Obama — when he referred to the “importance of education” — put this in terms of education as a product, not a value, as a product that will lead to better
jobs, more money. In short, our values are completely fouled up. Why wouldn’t young people in schools feel that cheating is no big thing? Remember the lesson of the film Breaking Away; after the local cyclist is knocked down by the Italian bikers, he says: “I didn’t know — everyone cheats.” “Now you know,” his father replies to him. It is endemic in America, a part of the very fiber of the culture. Kids learn this every day of their lives. We never question the system — our system — itself; we take it for granted as an immutable “given,” as if it were a product of nature and inevitable instead of what it is, a human construct. Every political/social/economic system has within it serious faults, weaknesses, failings. Cheating and greed are integral elements of our system; this is inescapable. And we never accept this. We think of and approach our society’s problems — failings — as apart from the system rather than as a part of our system, systemic. And then we tell ourselves all kinds of self-deluding fantasies about how it doesn’t matter “if you won or lost, but how you played the game” (Grantland Rice). The truth can be found in an anecdote about Joe Kennedy taking his sons to the Harvard-Yale football game. Harvard lost, and as the Kennedys were leaving, one of the boys said, “but it was a good game.” His father stopped, looked at him sternly and said, “There’s no such thing as a good game that you lost.” If George Washington ever did say, “I cannot tell a lie,” he was, of course, lying.

Tax compromise necessary but not pretty
M
any advocates and others are concerned about the way in which the Legislature addressed and passed a comprehensive tax bill at the end of the session. Their concerns are understandable — the bill moved from committee consideration to final adoption at a rapid pace in the last 24 hours of the session. However, the pace was necessary and the elements of the bill had been under consideration for many months. The Legislative Finance Committee, the committee that does much of heavy lifting on financial issues for the state’s parttime legislators, holds hearings on aspects of tax reform during the interim. These meetings are well-publicized and open to public comment. Agendas and minutes are available online. During consideration of tax reform during the session, LFC staff fast-tracked analysis of a tax-reform package substan-
tially the same as that passed — producing it just a few hours after the bill was introduced the day before the session ended. Luciano Because the “Lucky” tax proposal Varela moved through the session quickly, analysis of the package in its final form was not available until after the session. But anyone following the issue had the necessary information without the formal analysis. While the governor was clear she considered taxes a priority, the public had to read between the lines of her comments on the budget. Although she threatened to veto the budget on its merits, it was soon evident that her issue was with the Legislature’s failure to act on taxes. A veto would have sent the
Legislature into a costly special session that likely would have had the same result — an essentially identical budget bill and a tax package. Failure to give her a tax package would have endangered a budget plan that significantly expands spending on young children, helps the developmentally disabled get services and provides a small pay raise for state employees, who have gone without an increase in gross pay for five years and seen cuts in take-home pay. Even though the tax package is now law, opponents still have time to influence the outcome. The highest-profile pieces are being phased in over many years, and there is a two-year delay on the enactment of the most controversial measure: The elimination of hold-harmless payments.

Interfaith shelter is city success story A
news article in The New Mexican on Dec. 26, 2007, reported the death of a man as “the 24th homeless person to die in Santa Fe this year” because of hypothermia. The reaction at City Hall and among leaders in the community to this report was nothing less than alarm that preventable deaths like these were happening in our city. Realizing that the then-existing shelters were unable to cope with the overwhelming situation, there was an immediate call for expansion of services to these marginalized citizens in our community. Faith groups and dedicated individuals banded together and formed what is now known as the Interfaith Community Shelter. After operating in borrowed church social halls and any available space for one winter, a building on St. Michael’s Drive became a temporary home for the organization. Eventually, the Pete’s Pets building on Cerrillos Road, which was nothing more than a cavernous building, became available for rent. The Interfaith Community Shelter moved in, leasing for two winter seasons before the city bought the building.
Meanwhile, Mayor David Coss appointed a task force to end homelessness and a number of community leaders rallied to the challenge. The city bought the building and leased it to the shelter to operate the largest overnight emergency shelter in Northern New Mexico. It is the only shelter that admits inebriates — they have a separate sleeping area
at night. The Interfaith group then raised $150,000 to add to funds provided by the city to remodel the building with modern restrooms, showers, kitchen and sleeping areas. Guests frequently comment on the superior comfort and quality of this shelter, compared to others they have visited. Today it serves as a model approach on how to serve people from the streets.
thousand guests. Santa Fe has had no further deaths due to hypothermia. The mayor’s task force also called for the building to be shared by various agencies in order to provide a one-stop location for day services to the homeless. Currently the partners in this effort are Health Care for the Homeless, Life Link, The Santa Fe Veterans Administration Community Volunteers from Santa Fe Clinic, Santa Fe Community Services, Southwest CARE Center Preparatory and St. Elizabeth Shelter.

While funding for the interfaith shelter comes mainly as collective donations from members of the city’s faith and community groups, individual donors also have come forward with major support. For example, an empathetic donor gave $10,000 so we could buy 36 more beds for the sleeping areas. Recently, several leading chefs in the city decided they wanted to do something for the shelter and organized a gala gastronomic event they called ChefsCapades at Hotel Santa Fe on May 3. These generous outpourings of support make the shelter possible. This project demonstrates beautifully how a city, committed community groups and the public can work together to create a safe, healthy environment for at-risk citizens.

Reflections on a life well-lived Commissioners must pass
A
Jewish memorial service. On Holy Thursday. At St. Bede’s Episcopal Church. Involving a Lutheran pastor. Such a memorial service might not happen only in Santa Fe, but it is certainly more likely to happen in the City Different. So many people came to honor Santa Fe Realtor Peter Hess that the sanctuary at St. Bede’s could not contain the crowd. StandingPeter Hess room only at a funeral or memorial service is the sign of a life well-lived. And Peter lived his life well. One of his daughters spoke of Peter as Dad. An older brother spoke of Peter as a little boy, the youngest son in a family that fled Nazi Germany, arriving in Ecuador on the very day World War II erupted in Europe. Peter often remarked, “That I am alive at all is a miracle.” So he lived his life grateful for whatever that life would bring. The Lutheran pastor spoke about Peter as a fellow seeker of life’s deeper meanings. A younger colleague spoke about Peter as a businessman and how people who contacted Peter to buy or sell a house grew from clients into friends, a fact attested to by the presence of and tears from client friends at the service. Many people involved in real estate transactions with Peter felt that both sides got the best deal, a rarity in business transactions.
In many faith traditions, a person who dies and appears for judgment is asked a series of questions. In the Jewish tradition, the first question the deceased is asked is “did you act honestly and fairly in your business dealings?” At first glance this question appears to have little to do with matters of faith, of morality. But the pressures to cut corners, to protect self-interest, to make a buck are enormous in the business world. A person who can honestly answer yes to this question has spoken volumes about personal values and behaviors. Peter’s answer would have been unequivocally yes, with several hundred people to serve as witnesses. Peter liked to discuss, a polite term for argue, about all manner of topics in politics and religion. No matter how heated the discussion, when it came time to leave, Peter’s parting remark was usually, “Love you. Gimme a hug.” The point really was to bounce ideas around, not win an argument. For a number of years, Peter led the weekly Torah discussion during services at HaMakom, a small Jewish community that meets in the library at St. Bede’s Episcopal Church. Usually, Peter’s opening question centered around some idea in the text that dealt with individual responsibilities, what constitutes fair, or how to build a stronger community. Practical ethics, their application and social consequences, were enormously important to Peter week in and week out. His copy of the Torah and commen-
tary was filled with sticky notes, tags, scrawls in the margins. Like Peter himself, the volume was well-loved. When I read a Torah portion prior to services, I still hear Peter’s words of advice: “Don’t read religious texts with a hammer in your hand.” HaMakom has set up an education fund in Peter’s memory to continue his work (www. hamakomtheplace.org). Santa Fe has lost a quiet but unifying presence with Peter’s death. His memorial service concluded with mourners reciting Kaddish, the traditional Jewish prayer for the dead, though not often recited from the altar of a church. Nonetheless, the sentiments of the prayer are universal, that death ends a life but not a relationship, that the dead and the living continue to be connected, that moments of intersection between memory and prayer can offer comfort in the midst of grief. Peter, you are missed so much by so many. May the Kingdom of Heaven be yours.
sustainable growth plan
W
hat is holding up the Santa Fe County commissioners from getting the new sustainable growth development plan passed? Many hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars have been spent to develop the kind of code that will keep Santa Fe County viable for years to come. We were promised a code by December 2012, and then by March 2013. Many civic-minded citizens also participated in this process and want the county commissioners to step up and get the plan passed now. It is their job. Commissioners had a mandate to get this done and we need it now! So having delayed the process, every builder is fast-tracking their plans with the commissioners to avoid the stricter rules and regulations concerning water and building codes for the county. Joe Miller browbeat the county through the legal process and got his plans approved with so many settlements and exemptions to the current code it would be laughable if not for the

seriousness of the situation. People who will be affected most by this process show up to the hearings, and the commissioners ignore their input by citing the old code rules. Fear of lawsuits would be eliminated by passing the sustainable growth development plan. All the science points to more severe weather conditions here, and the do-nothing policy of the status quo doesn’t work. We deserve better from our elected officials. We need to focus on water conservation now and all that encompasses; development restrictions, air-quality protection and animal life. It would help if County Manager Katherine Miller and County Attorney Steve Ross are freed up and given the go ahead to proceed with getting the sustainable growth development plan passed.

MY VIEW: JAIME KATHLEEN GASKIN
Agriculture and education: Food for thought
I
enjoyed Staci Matlock’s story (“School gardens help connect students with local food sources,” April 25) about some of the gardening and agriculture programs taking place in our schools. As an educator and anthropologist, I stress the importance of experiential education and helping children understand how plants grow, and that hunting and gathering at Albertsons is not the only way to get our food. Research indicates that experiential learning enhances cognitive ability and creativity. Raising and eating fruits and vegetables improves diets and overall health of entire families. As a 1994 Land Grant institution, the Institute of American Indian Arts is one of 31 tribal colleges supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to carry out the mission of education, research and extension. From 2008
to 2012, I was privileged to work as the Program Development Officer at IAIA’s Center for Lifelong Education. We were instrumental in obtaining substantial USDA funding for agriculture programs, including construction of the greenhouse, creation of the Community Garden, and outreach programs with area Native students and schools. Beginning in 2010, after completion of the new Center for Lifelong Education, four of us put on our gloves and planted 22 fruit trees, watered and tended them. We eventually installed a drip irrigation system. Those little trees began to thrive, as did the various vegetables and herbs planted over the next two years. Last summer, they produced healthy crops that were shared with the campus community. IAIA students also began a sustainability program that encourages use
of solar energy, water conservation, composting and planted small gardens across campus. The $50,000 USDA grant referred to in the article was awarded to encourage student research in blending Western and Indigenous methodologies in small-scale agriculture; this is one of many grant awards received over the years for education and extension programs at IAIA as well as nearby Pueblo communities. The IAIA president and board of trustees are to be commended for making a sustainable and vibrant educational community a top priority. Another dynamic Santa Fe organization that provides gardening, environmental and community-based opportunities for youth in schools is The Railyard Stewards. After-school and summer programs are designed to engage students in all aspects of garden and outdoor stewardship while
incorporating math and science curricula that meet the New Mexico state education standards. Children are encouraged to create art, adopt garden plots, work with volunteers and gardening experts, learn about food cultivation and preparation, and “give back” to the community by raising vegetables for food banks and farmers markets. It is important for Santa Fe to have groups such as The Railyard Stewards that foster fun and educational outdoor programs for kids and families. Support them by volunteering, donating, and getting involved! I was fortunate to grow up in Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico in a family of gardeners, farmers and ranchers. They let me get my hands dirty, tend the flowers, climb apple trees, help harvest the fruit, and gather and roast piñon nuts. Unfortunately, children growing up today in urban environ-
ments, including Santa Fe, rarely get chances to play in wild places or grow their own gardens. In these challenging economic times, and as we face escalating environmental changes, education programs focusing on food systems and the environment are vital, especially those that utilize traditional and indigenous methods in water and land conservation. Thanks to the USDA and other local and national agencies and foundations, students of all ages are being exposed to the importance of growing food and working together to build community and to sustain our resources for the next seven generations. Jaime Kathleen Gaskin, M.A., is an independent consultant in Santa Fe specializing in Indigenous Education and funding development.

C City delays launch of new website Official says go-live date now set for late August By Julie Ann Grimm The New Mexican
A new website for the city of Santa Fe won’t go live until late in the summer despite intentions by elected officials that it be up and running this spring.

City public information officer and mulitmedia administrator Jodi McGinnis Porter said Friday that Web designers with Desert Elements Design have held up their end of the $250,000 contract with the city, but the city has been slower to accomplish its goals than originally expected. Former city Marketing Manager Carla Lopez headed up the project until she left her job at the city late
last year. Porter said very little happened with the site renovation until she started her job in late February. Since then, she said, she’s been working with city department heads and other staff to create content. “Now, my goal is to try to avoid the massive cut and paste from the old site into the new, pretty site,” Porter said. City police, for example, just completed a review of content and sent

Fire Department engineer Larry Vigil hoses down a car Saturday after the engine caught fire in downtown Santa Fe. COURTESY PHOTO
In brief Firefighters hose down engine blaze An engine fire ruined a Plymouth Breeze and owner Ivan Archuleta’s Saturday morning. Archuleta had parked the car across the street from the Palace Restaurant and Saloon, where he works. A co-worker later alerted him the car’s engine compartment was smoking. Archuleta told firefighters he thought a small power steering fluid leak onto the hot engine might have caused the fire. Santa Fe Fire Department representative Jerome Martinez said city firefighters respond to a few car engine fires a year like Archuleta’s. “It is usually in older model cars,” he said. Firefighters hosed down the blackened engine before Archuleta had the car towed away.

A
lot of critical behind-the-scenes decisions go into the design of the elaborate sets that impress Santa Fe Opera-goers year after year, visitors to the opera learned during the annual open house Saturday. Can the set withstand the sometimes 40 milean-hour wind gusts that blow through the opera’s
open-air architecture? “A set that calls for a very large curtain is always a red flag,” said Eric J. Moore, the opera’s technical director. Can the set endure a little or a lot of rain? “Most sets get soaked at least once,” Moore confided. Most importantly, for the opera’s first show of the season, Offenbach’s The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein, will the trap doors on the spinning wooden platform made to look like a military map open on
cue, so a giant telescoping wedding cake can rise out of the floor? “Whoa. Very cool,” said one observer, as Assistant Technical Director Andrew McQuade flipped a switch to demonstrate the trap doors opening. “Do you keep your fingers crossed?” asked another visitor. Moore admitted that ensuring the trap doors

FRAN REDINGER Frances Wilmeth Redinger died of cancer on May 9 in Santa Fe, NM. She was 90 years old. She is survived by her three children and their spouses, four grandchildren and one great grandchild: daughter Marie Bass and her husband Nathan Aronson of Santa Fe, son J.O. Bass III and his wife Mary of Olton, TX, and daughter Betty Ann Kane and her husband Kevin Kane of Denver, CO. Her grandchildren are Timothy Parish Carey and his wife Jennifer Nieto Carey of Washington, D.C. and their son Jack David; Katherine Marie Kane of Denver, CO; James Franklin Bass of Olton, TX; and Michael Timothy Kane of Denver. She is also survived by her brother, Weldon Wilmeth and his wife Jessica of Granbury, TX as well as beloved cousins, nieces and nephews and her special friend and "soul mate" of ten years, Efrain Prieto of Santa Fe. Fran was born on November 7, 1922 and grew up one of five children in Plainview, TX, graduating from high school and attending Wayland Baptist College. After receiving her Bachelor of Arts degree from McMurry College in Abilene, TX, she taught fourth grade in Plainview public schools. She was married to the late J.O. Bass Jr., the father of her three children, and later to the late George Redinger of Olton, TX, the father of Arthur Nicholas and Georgeanne, who also survive her. She was preceded in death by two sisters, Virginia Dare Haught and Betty Jo Upshaw, and one brother, Jimmy Carroll Wilmeth. In Texas, Fran was involved in numerous community activities related to the arts, education, agriculture, her church and her children’s lives. She was a member of the P.E.O. Sisterhood for almost 60 years. She was also partner in her husbands’ farming enterprises and co-owner of several businesses and manager of the Chamber of Commerce in Olton, TX during the 1970s. After she was widowed in 1982, Fran spent two years in Washington, DC and Austin, TX working for her member of Congress, and then moved to New Mexico. She lived in Albuquerque for seven years where she served as Associate Hospital Chaplain at University Hospital. Later she established the chaplaincy service at Lincoln County Medical Center in Ruidoso, NM where she resided until moving to Santa Fe in 2007. Fran’s love of life, happy times and travels with her children and grandchildren, and the enjoyment of her many friends were legendary. She was an avid reader, bridge player, writer of witty verse, collector of art and antiques, philanthropist (usually anonymous), and storyteller (some true, many invented). In her later years, she was especially known for hosting late afternoon "happy hours" of interesting people, lively conversation and gossip, and plenty of drink. Fran’s devotion to education and the arts prevailed until her death. She was a longtime Board Member of the Spencer Theater for the Performing Arts in Alto, NM and remained active until her passing. She also served on the Board of Trustees of Eastern New Mexico University Foundation and formerly on the boards of Presbyterian Hospital Foundation of New Mexico and the Santa Fe Opera Guild. Her struggle with cancer and other health issues did not diminish Fran’s passion for life, her sense of adventure, or her ministry toward those in need; in turn she was blessed with excellent medical care and health services. Fran’s children wish to acknowledge in particular her oncologist Dr. David Snyder and the staff of the New Mexico Cancer Institute for their expertise, attentiveness, and highest quality of care for over eight years. In Fran’s final four months, she was also served by the outstanding staff and volunteers of PMS Hospice Center of Santa Fe and especially by her devoted nurse Ken Peterson. Finally, Fran’s family extends special gratitude to her extraordinary caregiver Ariana Avicia Trinidad whose loving service made Fran’s final months comfortable and happy. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Fran’s memory may be made to the Spencer Theatre for the Performing Arts, Hospice Center of Santa Fe or First United Methodist Church Olton, TX. Future memorial services will be held in Texas and New Mexico. For information, please contact marie.bass@me.com.

The set mock up for The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein was on display during Saturday’s open house at The Santa Fe Opera. LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN
Opera: 70 helpers employed Continued from Page C-1 open and that the hydraulics working to get big set pieces up and down through the floor are the engineering details that keep him up at night. The open house is a rare opportunity to see how the magic is created by costumers, set designers and lighting masters — before the opera season opens. Visitors are allowed on the stage, which they normally only see from the audience seats. Karen Lorusso had tricked her two kids, Darcy, 8, and Ryan, 10, into touring the opera Saturday morning. Both children have been to the opera’s Youth Nights, and Lorusso was hoping this was one more way to turn them into fans of the art form. “I love opera and so does my husband. We’re hoping they will,” Lorusso said. Creating the opera’s look and feel begins with the core staff meeting to discuss the director’s vision. In the case of The Grand Duchess, director Lee Blakely, set designer Adrian Linford and costume designer Jo Van Schuppen met with Moore and other opera staff to look at the “white model.” The model is a miniature of what the finished stage presentation might look like, but painted all white. “We talk a lot about it and decide right then if it is within budgetary constraints and if it can be done in time and can be moved around other shows,” Moore said. While Moore and his crew get busy building sets, the costumers begin prepping the clothes and accessories for the opera’s five productions. Santa Fe Opera Costume Director Erica Burds said the productions require 70 seasonal helpers: tailors, milliners, drapers, stitchers and wardrobe staff among others. Burds stood Saturday near displays of the colorful sketches and historical photos on which The Grand Duchess costumes, by designer van Schuppen, are based. The costumes feature military uniforms and

elegant dresses for the Duchess, played by the internationally renowned Susan Graham, a Santa Fe resident, as the ultimate cougar on the prowl for young, handsome soldiers. When the season opens, almost no one working behind the scenes has regular hours. Such is the life of the theater production department and the costume crew. Set crews will work up to 100 hours a week and start at all hours of the night and day. Every show is different. “Every year has its challenges,” McQuade said. Moore recalls the opera’s 2011 production of Gounod’s Faust as one that looked doable and within budget on paper. But the show had three elevators with varying sets on each. “What we all underestimated was what a complicated show it would be to run,” he said. While his usual base crew is 12 people, Faust required 18 to manage. “The first time we ran it, I just about laid down on the concrete floor back there and had a heart attack,” Moore said nodding to the back of the stage. “It was a very big show.”
Wildfire outlook planned Monday RENO, Nev. — U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell plan to offer a regional outlook next week for the upcoming fire season across the West. Agency experts forecast above normal fire potential across almost all of Arizona, New Mexico, California and Oregon. Portions of Utah, Montana, Idaho, Colorado and Washington also should see higher than normal threats. Nevada is suffering from lingering drought but the lack of moisture has also stunted growth of fuels so the fire danger there is expected to be normal. The secretaries plan a teleconference with reporters on Monday. They say last year’s wildfires consumed more than 4,400 structures and 9.3 million acres of private, state, and federal land across the nation. The Associated Press

Bike: Ride with caution, cop says Continued from Page C-1 culminate with a community gathering on Friday at the Santa Fe Railyard. In addition to live music and food, local bike experts will be on hand to answer questions and offer light maintenance during the gathering. For those who can’t ride all week, the city is promoting Bike to Work Day on Friday. Additionally, there will be a community ride on Saturday, starting and ending at the Railyard. The workshops will focus on bicycle maintenance issues, such as changing a tube or emergency roadside adjustments. Those who attend the workshops will receive a ticket to enter Friday night’s raffle drawing for a chance to win a variety of prizes donated by local businesses, including gift certificates to local restaurants or for bike parts. Of course, many people might be worried to start riding, as was the case for Noah Burke, who has been riding since 2007. “I wasn’t sure how the biking community was treated here,” he said. But Burke said he has gotten used to his eight-mile commute. On some days, he said, he can get to work faster on his bike than by car. Still, bicycling in Santa Fe is not without its risks. There were 60 reported accidents involving bicyclists last year, according to traffic data gathered by the Santa Fe Police Department. But police Officer Liz Brewer, a two-year veteran of the department’s bike unit, said that cyclists can avoid injury by staying focused while riding. “You get in the groove and kind of don’t pay attention,” Brewer said. “You just have to be aware of your surroundings. You can’t rely on someone else to keep someone safe.” Beginners, Brewer said, should avoid the major roads and stick to bicycle and walking

trails. And just because Cerrillos Road has a bike lane, she said, that doesn’t mean new riders should flock to it. “That’s the black diamond of bicycling,” Brewer said. Potential riders can find trail information on the city’s website, santafenm.gov. Additionally, most city buses have bike racks for those who want to cut down on the cycling distance. Brewer said that riders should also don the proper gear, such as reflective clothing, biking gloves and a helmet. Moreover, riders should avoid wearing anything that might distract them, such as headphones. Lyons had similar safety advice. He said riders should imagine that they’re invisible to cars, and to take risks accordingly. Of course, he said he still thinks motorists have a responsibility to watch for bikers as well. He, like Brewer, suggests sticking to quieter roads. Additionally, Brewer said bicyclists should make use of the hand-turning signals: A left hand straight out means a left turn, left hand up means a right turn, and a left hand down means a stop. Before setting out, new bicyclists should also remember to consistently lubricate the bike’s chain and to check the tires’
air pressure, said Bill Gould, a seven-year employee at New Mexico Bike ‘N Sport. These checks are important, he said, especially if the bike has been out of use for a while. Those looking to invest in a bike should consider a hybrid bike, which are a mix of road and mountain bikes, Gould said. Most hybrid bikes also come with platform pedals, which don’t require specialty shoes. Gould said riders should also consider carrying bicycle tire irons, an extra tube and some kind of bicycle pump in case of flat tires. Those who ride early in the morning or late at night should also consider investing in bicycle lights as well. Riders also may want to consider buying a bike bell to alert walkers and other riders of their presence and a bicycle lock to make sure their ride isn’t stolen. And if worse comes to worst, Brewer said riders have to be willing to sacrifice the bike to avoid nasty crashes. For example, riders may have to leap from the bike and let it crash rather than staying on the saddle. “You can replace the bike but not yourself,” Brewer said.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Environmental Protection Agency, the White House and other federal departments announced Friday that they are expanding a program for restoring and improving urban waterways nationwide. The Urban Waters Federal Partnership now operates in seven locations. Officials said Friday they’re adding the Grand River in Grand Rapids, Mich., the Middle Rio Grande in Albuquerque and nine other areas. The program links economic development, recreational and envi-
ronmental improvement goals. “Since we launched the Urban Waters Federal Partnership two years ago, we’ve seen firsthand what the transformation of degraded urban waterways into clean, healthy and treasured centerpieces can do for local communities — not only from an aesthetic standpoint, but also from a public health and economic standpoint,” acting EPA Administrator Bob Perciasepe said in a statement. The other new sites are the Big River and Meramec River around St. Louis; the Delaware River in Philadelphia, Camden, N.J., Chester, Pa., and Wilmington, Del.; the Green-Duwamish River in Seattle; the Mystic River in metropolitan Boston;

New Mexico’s sun-shaped state Capitol flies a state flag bearing the image of the Zia sun symbol, in a city that touts 300 days of sunshine a year. So, why not have some solar power on the premises? That’s the goal of a group of folks who lobbied during this year’s legislative session for a solar array pilot project at the Roundhouse. With electricity bills at the Capitol complex sometimes topping $75,000 a month, solar power could reduce costs to taxpayers, they argued. “Why not start right at the heart of things, which is our government complex?” said Janet McVickar, an archaeologist and environmental specialist with the state Department of Transportation and a solar project supporter. The advocates persuaded 15 lawmakers to pitch in $185,000 of their allotted capital projects funding for an appropriation to the Legislative Council Service — the Legislature is the Capitol’s owner — for the design and construction of a photovoltaic solar array. They intended it for the Capitol’s parking garage. Gov. Susana Martinez vetoed
the appropriation, which was part of a $274 million statewide public works package. An administration spokesman said this week Martinez axed the project because it lacked a clear plan and wasn’t fully funded. “A project of this type and scope should presumably be authorized after much more discussion and planning between the Legislature and the executive,” said Tim Korte, spokesman for the General Services Department. The lobbying group — they call themselves Got Sol — grew out of a 2012 Climate Masters program sponsored by the Santa Fe Watershed Association. Participants had to donate 30 volunteer hours educating New Mexicans about alternative energy and decided to tackle the Capitol project. Electricity bills vary, but can run more than $70,000 a month for the state Capitol and its neighboring North annex, and another $5,000 for the parking garage across the street that opened in late 2009, according to information provided by the Legislative Council Service. Most of that cost is for lighting, and building officials have managed since 2007 to steadily reduce the number of kilowatt
hours used in the Capitol and annex. “We keep working on it,” said Dwight Capshaw, the Capitol complex’s building superintendent. More energy efficient light fixtures and bulbs have been installed, for example. Lights in offices have been placed on motion detectors and lights in the Senate and House chambers on timers. A pilot project is underway to put the hallway track lighting that illuminates the Capitol’s extensive art collection on motion detectors. But the cost to taxpayers has climbed each year, even as the electricity usage has been reduced. Solar power advocates say solar panels could cut costs as well as provide a cleaner, more environmentally friendly alter-
native to electricity from coalfired power plants. Acknowledging the budgetary and practical hurdles of solar panels atop Capitol complex buildings, Got Sol is focusing on the parking garage as a place to start. Got Sol member Esha Chiocchio says the garage has some areas not visible to the public that could house solar panels. The electricity produced wouldn’t be used onsite, but rather fed into the power grid, offsetting the Capitol complex’s usage. Got Sol members long ago fulfilled their 30 hours of volunteering but plan to be back at the legislative session next year lobbying for the project again. “We really are committed to making this happen,” said Chiocchio, who is the climate solutions coordinator for the Santa Fe Watershed Association.

Martinez to unveil new Heart Gallery exhibit The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE — A New Mexico program aimed at raising awareness about the number of children in foster care and those who are waiting to be adopted got a boost Saturday. Gov. Susana Martinez and Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry unveiled the state’s newest Heart Gallery exhibit at Albuquerque’s international airport. The new gallery features portraits of children in foster care with the state Children, Youth and Families Department. The children are ready to be adopted, and scan codes within the photos provide links to more information about the children. This is the first time the scan code technology has been used by the Heart Gallery program.
The links include additional photos, biographical information and in many cases video interviews. “As we prepare to for Mother’s Day, it’s heartbreaking to know there are hundreds of kids in New Mexico who don’t have a mom, or a dad, to celebrate and thank,” Martinez said in a statement. “These Heart Galleries are a wonderful tool we use to bring together mothers and fathers with children in foster care who want a family to call their own.” As of April, there were more than 1,800 New Mexican children in foster care, including 534 in Bernalillo County, the state’s most populous county. State officials said 82 children in Bernalillo County are available for adoption through CYFD, but 70 percent of them still don’t
have any prospects for adoption. Berry said millions of people pass through the airport and will see the gallery. He hopes it will be able to change the lives of the children who are featured. The program began in 2001 at the suggestion of Santa Fe photographer and adoptive mother Cathy Maier Callanan. Now, there are now nine permanent Heart Gallery displays throughout New Mexico. They include exhibits at the governor’s office, The Pit at the University of New Mexico, University Hospital in Albuquerque and Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Clinic in Santa Fe. Galleries have also been established at malls and restaurants in Alamogordo, Clovis, Hobbs and Roswell.

Raising child with strong character starts at birth appy Mother’s Day. What a perfect day to return to the “Etiquette Rules” column, as I slowly move back into the world after maternity leave. We welcomed a baby boy in February, which feels like both yesterday and an eternity ago after nesting without regard for clocks or our own sleep schedule. With a full head of hair, lanky limbs and an elfin-like quality, our son spends his time alternating between feedings, tummy time and watching me fold laundry. Leading up to the due date, everyone told me to get sleep while I could. I now have a better appreciation for that advice. Sleeping with one eye Bizia Greene open has double meaning, as Etiquette Rules! I spend all night checking on baby and then struggle to stay awake during the day. If I was unfocused before baby, I am now lucky if I refer to him by name … it’s usually “Puggy” or “Smokey,” after our dog. Speaking of advice, everyone is full of it — no pun intended. I actually welcome words of wisdom from friends, family and strangers. Women have told me that when they became mothers, they were bound to share their newfound wisdom, and yet they prefaced it: “Take it with a grain of salt.” It’s fascinating how freely people will give advice even from the next table in a restaurant. As inexperienced parents (sometimes I feel as naive as a 16-year-old), we soak it up like a sponge and make adjustments accordingly. “Enjoy every moment” is the sentiment echoed most by parents we know and don’t know. “It will all go by so quickly,” they say. It’s hard to stay in the moment with a baby. A pregnancy is spent gearing up for the arrival. And once the baby is here, every waking moment is spent planning for the future, near and far: Diaper bags are filled with changes of clothes for the day ahead, and financial discussions revolve around the college fund for 18 years from now. A baby’s observations and experiences now imprint him or her for life, hence the importance of early childhood education. For example, when a baby coos and babbles, babble and talk back. Early conversations teach children from birth to age 3 hundreds of words before he or she can speak them. This makes me acutely aware of my behavior (like not swearing when confronted with a dirty diaper) and the example I am setting, along with my ability to influence his interests and skills. Parents often play Mozart during pregnancy to increase a baby’s intelligence, a phenomenon known as the Mozart Effect (Dad preferred the Grateful Dead in our case, so I’m not sure what to expect). I could sit him in front of footage of Gretzky or Prefontaine to steer his athletic ability. So, why not introduce manners now? When it comes to etiquette, babies are afforded a great amount of leeway. We introduced our son to a close family friend, Margaret, this week. While holding him for the first time, he spit up all over her front, filling up the inside of her shirt. On another occasion, we stood in a docent-led museum tour and, while we were quietly observing a Rubens exhibit, the little guy passed gas, which echoed throughout the cavernous room. Apologies are often followed by laughter these days. We don’t expect our son to be on his best behavior now — but when? And why is it important? He may have academic leanings and extracurricular talents we’ll foster, but it is the more abstract characteristics — such as kindness, awareness, selflessness and the ability to adapt — that lead to success. No matter how much or how little his talents and education, good manners will always open doors. By building that foundation now, we will shape his development toward being a well-rounded and well-mannered citizen. It’s hard to imagine setting boundaries and rules when our tot is only 12 weeks old, but the first rule taught in this house will be the Golden Rule. I resonate with the advice about enjoying every moment now. I’m learning that living in the moment is influencing his future. And what better day to be present than Mother’s Day?

McGregor and Portman starred together in the Star Wars films, he as Obi Wan Kenobi, promising to defend the children of her character, Queen Padme Amidala of Naboo.

ith all that’s been learned about the link between concussions and dementia, perhaps there’s a connection between George Sauer Jr.’s football career and his death from Alzheimer’s. If not, then it’s a terrible coincidence. For Sauer, who died Tuesday at 69 after a long Jim Gordon bout with the brain disease, was The Anti-Fan keenly aware of the toll that football took on those who played it. He called the game dehumanizing. “Football is an ambiguous sport, depending both on grace and violence. It both glorifies and destroys bodies,” the former wide receiver wrote in 1983. Not being able to, in his words, “reconcile the apparent inconsistency,” Sauer suddenly quit the game in his prime at age 27, two seasons after starring in the New York Jets’ stunning upset of the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. The violence wasn’t the only thing that led to his early retirement; there also was the regimentation, the being treated as less than an adult. “When you get to the college and professional levels, the coaches still treat you as an adolescent,” he said in a 1971 interview. “They know damn well that you were never given a chance to become responsible or self-disciplined. Even in the pros, you were told when to go to bed, when to turn your lights off, when to wake up, when to eat and what to eat. You even have to live and eat together like you were in a boys’ camp.” The game, Sauer said when he left the Jets, “does not do what it claims to do. It claims to teach self-discipline and responsibility, which is its most obvious contradiction.” Raised in Waco, Texas, Sauer stared at the University of Texas before signing with the Jets. As a player, he was known for running precise pass patterns. His most notable game came in the 1969 Super Bowl, when he caught eight Joe Namath passes in New York’s 16-7 victory. The game is famous for putting the American Football League, then in the process of merging with the NFL, on the map. Yet Sauer is known less for his role in making that happen than for his walking away at the

ALBUQUERQUE — The first was a forced error. The second, a cross-court, putaway volley. Under the lights of the Jerry Cline Complex, Susanna Lucido’s two points — nearly two hours apart — clinched Los Alamos’ first Class AAAA girls state team tennis championship since 2008. The second-seeded Lady Hilltop-
pers defeated No. 1 Farmington 5-4 on Saturday night, ending the Lady Scorpions’ four-year title reign dating back to 2009. With the team score deadlocked at 4-all, Lucido and her partner, Colleen Fitzsimmons, easily took the first set 6-0 over Farmington’s No. 2 doubles pair of Allie Linville and Sydney Schumacher. The victory appeared easy as Lucido and Fitzsimmons nabbed a 5-2 lead, but the tension grew as Linville and Schumacher cut the margin to 5-4.
The future of the St. Michael’s baseball team took center stage in Saturday’s do-or-die opening-round playoff series against Taos. Sophomore Marcus Pinchera Sandoval, a player who barely registered a blip on the Horsemen’s preseason radar two short months ago, was handed the ball and told to go out and salvage his team’s playoff life after the visiting Tigers (14-14) forced a deciding Game 3 with an upset 5-2 win in Game 2 earlier in the day.

Northern New Mexico athletes reach individual goals at state championships By Glen Rosales

LBUQUERQUE — When it came to team success at the Class A/AA State Track and Field Championships, the North was noticeably absent. The best team finish came from the Escalante boys in Class A. The Lobos collected 33 points to take fifth overall. Most of those points came courtesy of sprinter Adam Gurule, who tallied 15 by himself. That includes first place in the 100- and 200-meter dashes. Hurdler Lukas Madrid added nine points, which included a second in the 110 hurdles.
Gurule scorched through the 100 in a time of 11.80 seconds, then followed that up with a 23.02 in the 200. “I knew I could do it, but nobody was going to give it to me,” he said. “I had to take it from these guys. I gave it all I had.” He likened it to winning a team championship with the football team, something the Lobos did last November. “I can’t really explain it, but it’s just as exciting as when we won the football championship,” Gurule said. “You just can’t describe the feeling. That was great because it was a team, but this is great as an individual.” As for Madrid, “I’m happy with [second],” he
All Sandoval (3-0) did was toss a four-hit complete game shutout in an 11-0 win that extended the Horsemen’s season into next week’s Class AAA State Tournament quarterfinals in Albuquerque. St. Michael’s, the No. 6 seed, will face No. 3 Silver on Thursday at St. Pius High School in Albuquerque. Silver swept aside Raton in its opening-round series.

said. “I podiumed and that was what I wanted to do. I came off the blocks bad. If I had come off the blocks good, I would have had a better chance. But I didn’t want to jump the gun at state. I would have been devastated. It was a good run. I beat Fort Sumner by two one-hundredths so that was good.” In other individual performances, Mora’s Alonzo Chavez completed the sweep of the three distance races by taking the 1,600-meter run in a time of 4:25.96. It’s a feat he has been training for all year, and he even enlisted his older brother, Henrique Chavez, to help.

“Oh my gosh, yes,” Lucido said about feeling the pressure of the moment. “And it was mostly my fault, too; my partner was solid through it. It was nerve-wracking. Everyone was watching and all we needed was one game and we couldn’t get it. … It was terrifying.” With Farmington serving on the championship point, Fitzsimmons and Schumacher had five backhand rallies before Lucido jumped in front of the net and sliced the winner. “It was really unreal,” Fitzsim-

LOS LUNAS — It teetered on the brink of a major upset. In the end, it was a game that mirrored a season of ups and downs for the Los Alamos softball team. There were moments of defensive brilliance, such as when a long throw by centerfielder Krysta Salazar to first baseman Erin Kirk cut short what would have been a single in the second inning. Then there were the moments
when faulty fielding cost the Lady Hilltoppers everything. It was that inconsistency that ultimately felled No. 12 seed Los Alamos as it lost to No. 5 Los Lunas 8-7 in the first round of the Class AAAA State Tournament on Saturday. At the bottom of the seventh inning, with runners on the corners and the score tied at 7-all, a pitch by junior Kiana Zerr bounced off the tip of sophomore catcher Aletta Marciano’s glove and hit

2000 — Boston’s Pedro Martinez, who had 17 strikeouts in his last start May 6 against Tampa Bay, strikes out 15 in a 9-0 win over Baltimore, to tie an AL record set in 1968 by Cleveland’s Luis Tiant for most strikeouts over two games. 2006 — Laure Manaudou of France breaks Janet Evans’ 18-year-old world record in the 400-meter freestyle, finishing in 4:03.03 at the French national swimming championships. Manaudou beats the time of 4:03.85 set by Evans in winning the 400-meter freestyle at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. 2006 — Justin Gatlin breaks the 100-meter world record with a time of 9.76 seconds at the Qatar Grand Prix. A week later, the International Association of Athletics Federations announces a timing error gave Gatlin a time of 9.76 seconds. His time of 9.766 seconds, should have been manually rounded up to 9.77, tying Asafa Powell’s world mark of 9.77. 2009 — The Japanese women’s soccer team cancels a tour in the United States because of the swine flu outbreak. 2010 — Montreal follows up a monumental upset by pulling off another. The Canadiens, who eliminated the Washington Capitals, beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-2 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Montreal accomplishes what no team had done since the current playoffs format was adopted in 1994. And that is beat the Presidents’ Trophy winner and defending Stanley Cup champion in successive rounds as an eighth-seeded team. 2010 — Kelly Kulick, the first woman to win a PBA Tour title when she beat the men in January in the Tournament of Champions, wins the U.S. Women’s Open for her second women’s major victory in 15 days. Kulick beats Liz Johnson of 233-203 in the final.

Track: Chavez completes triple sweep Continued from Page D-1 “That’s what I came here for and I got it,” Alonzo Chavez said. “Winning all three is pretty good. Last year I got the one mile and the two mile, but this year, winning all three is great.” It’s a feat his brother failed to achieve. Henrique, who is a New Mexico Highlands University junior and runs on the track team there, won the 800 and 1,600 in 2010. “He ran 3,000-plus miles to win these 3½ miles,” Henrique Chavez said of his brother, who also will run for Highlands next year. Desert Academy’s Taylor Bacon had an impressive performance, winning the 3,200 in a time of 12:30 and also taking second in the 800 after winning the 1,600 on Friday.
Mora’s Alonzo Chavez finishes in first place in the Class AA 1,600-meter race Saturday afternoon at the Great Friends of UNM Track Complex in Albuquerque. JUNFU HAN/FOR THE NEW MEXICAN
“Before this year, I had never run an 800, so doing this well was very exciting,” she said of the event that she took up for
the first time this season. Bacon hung with winner Teryn Kayser of Mountainair through most of the race until the back stretch. “I hung with her through the first lap but in the last 150 meters, she had a sprint that I did not have.” This is only her second year running track. “I was opposed to running in circles,” she said. “But getting up on the podium was great. And the first, second and third place medals are so colorful, so that was exciting, too.” But not as exciting as adding another gold medal in the 3,200. “A lot of what I do is on time, and in the 800, I dropped my time,” Bacon said. “But I was confident I could win the 3,200. It’s a longer run, so I was
more relaxed. I run cross country, so I’m used to the longer run.” Immanuel Neubauer of the New Mexico School for the Deaf made up for scratching in the 100 preliminaries Friday by winning the 400 on Saturday. “We coach him to watch,” said NMSD head coach Andrew Parker. But when the starter flinched slightly Friday in the 100, Neubauer took off. There were no issues in the 400, or the 200, where he finished third. “It was very different from yesterday,” he said in sign language interpreted by Parker. “You can’t do anything about it anyway.” Results: For a complete list of all events, check Monday’s New Mexican sports section.

Baseball: Taos makes comeback in Game 2 Continued from Page D-1 seed. Local teams Pojoaque Valley, Santa Fe Indian School and West Las Vegas were on the short end of that scenario. The Elks were shut out in consecutive games at No. 1 Hope Christian, while No. 15 SFIS was beaten twice at No. 2 Lovington. The 12th-seeded Dons were dropped by Sandia Preparatory. St. Michael’s never expected to be pushed to the brink after hammering Taos 11-1 in Friday’s Game 1. “Everything’s a battle when you get to state and we knew Taos would be a tough team,” said David Vigil, Horsemen head coach. “You never know how you’re going to react when your backs are against the wall, but the way Marcus pitched and the way we hit made me think these guys were ready.” Truth is, the Horsemen
(21-8) labored to a certain degree through the first two games. They had 10 hits in a blowout win in Game 1, but six unearned runs and six Taos errors were the real story. In Game 2, St. Michael’s had six hits and kicked the ball around for what may have been as many as half a dozen errors (they were only charged for three in the official scorebook). Aside from the consistency of Zach Bobchak out of the leadoff spot and Reyes Lujan at the bottom of the order, the Horsemen lineup largely sputtered at key moments in the series. Bobchak went 4-for-5 in Saturday’s two games and set the tone for the Game 3 victory when he lined the first pitch he saw to leftcenter for a leadoff double. “Honestly, I was trying to hit the ball out because I knew this was the last time I’d ever play
a game on this field,” Bobchak said. “I wasn’t really trying to be aggressive. All I wanted was to hit the ball as hard as I could, maybe get it out of here.” He never did, but he finished with a pair of doubles and an RBI in Game 3, and finished the series with eight total bases and five runs scored. If there were a series MVP, he probably would have gotten it. If not, it certainly would have gone to Sandoval. With his team’s back against the wall after Taos got the most of Game 2 starter Marc Brandt, the diminutive 10th-grader was outstanding. He gave out a one-out single to Matt Sanchez in the top of the first, but retired the next seven batters he faced as the Horsemen scored three runs in each of the first two innings, then added five more in the third. By time the Tigers got their
second hit of the game — an infield single to Lujan at short to start the top of the fourth inning — St. Michael’s had built an 11-0 lead and had some of the fans heading toward the exit on Botulph Road. “I’m just out here trying to prove myself to my teammates and everyone out here,” Sandoval said when asked if his breakout season has earned him a spot among the team leaders. “I was a little nervous when I knew it was me who would get the start for this game, but I just want to do the best I can for my team.” Class AAAA: Los Alamos beat visiting Aztec 9-4 in Game 2 on Saturday, completing a two-game sweep of the Tigers. The eighth-seeded Hilltoppers (19-9) advance to meet perennial power and No. 1 seed Piedra Vista.
Softball: Getting so close stung, coach says Continued from Page D-1 the backstop. It was the break District 6AAAA champion Los Lunas needed as senior Cienna Thompson scored the winning run from third base. Los Alamos coach Roger Anaya said he reckoned it would come down to who made the last error. And getting so close, he added, made the loss sting all the more. “I mean, this one, it’s one of those you feel proud of the way that they played, but at the same time it’s going to hurt for a little while,” he said. Los Lunas (20-8) advances to the quarterfinals to play Aztec
at 8 a.m. Thursday at Cleveland High School in Rio Rancho. The two teams have a tense recent history as the then-No. 3 seed Lady Tigers beat Los Alamos 10-0, ranked No. 6, in last year’s tournament quarterfinals. This time, the Lady Hilltoppers knew what to expect. Los Alamos (14-12) made constant contact with the ball and put up six hits — two on Lady Tiger errors. In fact, both teams had glove trouble, something Los Lunas coach Paul Cieremans said was unusual for his team. Back-to-back errors by Lady Tiger Alliana Madrid in the
fifth inning loaded the bases with no outs as Los Lunas was up 3-2. Salazar took advantage with a single to the left-field hole, driving in two runs for the Lady Hilltopper’s first lead of the game at 5-3. Los Lunas recovered swiftly when pitcher Angela Duran knocked out a two-run home run over the right-field fence to put it at 7-5. And the winning run in the seventh? She only made it on base due to a Los Alamos error when shortstop Micaela Christensen bobbled an infield grounder by Thompson. Still, Cieremans gave props to Los Alamos.
“We were definitely prepared and we didn’t take anybody lightly because in [the] state tournament everything changes,” he said. “Everything gets a little tighter, the pitching gets a little bit better, the defense steps up a notch, so we expected Los Alamos to come and fight and they did.” As for next year, juniors Salazar and Zerr, who led their team with solid performances, said it was time for them to get serious with their training. “We got to give it our all at practice, we’ve got to work hard and we’re going to come back and beat ’em,” Salazar said. “Revenge, here it comes.”
Tennis: Demons coach impressed by team Continued from Page D-1 Los Alamos the commanding 4-2 lead after a drive down the line forced Schumacher to return the ball wide left. “It’s unreal,” Fitzsimmons said. “I just don’t even have words for it yet and I’m still in shock.” The St. Michael’s girls were shocked for a different reason in the A-AAA semifinals. The Lady Horsemen were unable to defend their 2012 state team championship after falling to Albuquerque Sandia Preparatory, 5-3.
It was the last hurrah for St. Michael’s three seniors, including team leader Paloma Gomez. “Disappointing is kind of an understatement,” she said. “If I could do it over again, I definitely would. I still haven’t been over my eighth-grade [singles] loss … so I’m sure it won’t go away in a matter of days as people say it will. I hold on to stuff like that even though I shouldn’t. It may take a little while, but at some point in time I will move on.” Gomez won both her No. 1 singles match and No. 2
doubles but was unable to add another medal to her collection. The Las Vegas Robertson boys team took a 2-1 lead over the New Mexico Military Institute in the A-AAA championship before falling short of its first state championship since 2007 by a 5-2 margin. The Cardinals took an early 2-1 lead after doubles play over the New Mexico Military Institute before the Colts stormed back to clinch their third consecutive title. “It’s nice because most of these guys are sophomores,
and to be able to do this in their second year, it’s indescribable. They have memories for life,” said Roman Fulgenzi, Robertson head coach. Santa Fe High head coach Bill Ellsworth was also impressed with his team’s showing at state. The sixth-seeded Demons fell to Farmington 6-0 in the in the AAAA boys semifinal round — a day removed from upsetting No. 3 Las Cruces Centennial. “To finish in the top four in AAAA is not too shabby,” said Ellsworth said.
Anti-Fan: Sauer stands out for right reasons Continued from Page D-1 height of his career. It’s not that Sauer, who became a novelist and poet, didn’t appreciate the sport. He did. But as he put it, “My passion for the game was not sufficient.” He might have said that his perception was stronger than his passion. Sauer, who played at the
peak of the Vietnam War, saw a strong connection between the game and the country that loved it. For too long, he said, we considered football a thing apart from society when, in fact, it is integral. “It mirrors our values and at the same time reinforces them,” he said. “Survival of the fittest in its most perverted rendition
is what’s behind football. The game is dominated by Vince Lombardi’s philosophy: ‘To play this game, you must have that fire in you, and there is nothing that stokes the fire like hate.’ ” Sauer saw through the B.S. that many coaches spew as “motivation.” He also saw through the lure of the limelight and came to detest it.
“You stick out too much, the world enlarges around you to dangerous proportions, and you are too evident to too many others,” he said. “There is a vulnerability in this and, oddly enough, some guilt involved in standing out.” Today, four decades after he left the game, Sauer does stand out — but for all the right reasons.

Toronto defeats Boston The Associated Press
BOSTON — Adam Lind hit a tiebreaking homer off Boston closer Junichi Tazawa leading off the ninth Blue Jays 3 inning to lift the Toronto Red Sox 2 Blue Jays to a 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. It was just the fifth win in 16 games for the struggling Blue Jays, who blew a 2-0 lead in the eighth. Lind belted a 2-2 pitch from Tazawa (2-2) into the center field bleachers, sending Boston to its seventh loss in nine games. Darren Oliver (2-1) got the win despite giving up the tying run. Casey Janssen pitched the ninth for his 10th save in 10 chances. He allowed a leadoff double, but then got three hitters. YANKEES 3, ROYALS 2 In Kansas City, Mo., Vernon Wells hit a go-ahead two-run homer then made a long running catch that preserved a victory for Andy Pettitte and the Yankees over the Royals. Pettitte (4-2) showed off his mastery of the Royals once more, allowing a run-scoring groundout by Lorenzo Cain and a solo homer by Billy Butler in seven stellar innings. The 40-year-old left-hander gave up five hits, struck out seven and improved to 15-3 in his career against the Royals. TWINS 8, ORIOLES 5 In Minneapolis, Ryan Doumit homered, Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau each had three hits, and the Twins beat the Orioles, who lost for just the second time in seven games. Vance Worley struggled through 5⅓ innings, but a strong performance by Minnesota’s bullpen enabled him to earn his first win in 13 starts dating to Aug. 1, 2012. Matt Wieters connected for the Orioles. ANGELS 3, WHITE SOX 2 In Chicago, Mike Trout hit a two-run homer and Jerome Williams pitched into the seventh inning to help the Angels beat the White Sox. Williams (2-1) allowed two runs and scattered seven hits in 6 ⅔ innings. He struck out three and walked one. After eight appearances out of the bullpen, Williams made his second start in place of the struggling Garrett Richards, who was filling in for injured Los Angeles ace Jered Weaver. INDIANS 7, TIGERS 6 In Detroit, Ubaldo Jimenez outpitched Justin Verlander, and Cleveland’s Chris Perez got Miguel Cabrera to hit a gameending groundout with two on to preserve the Indians’ win over the Tigers. Verlander (4-3) was erratic early, allowing three runs in the first two innings. He settled a bit after that, but the Indians took a 6-1 lead before Detroit closed the gap with a four-run seventh. RANGERS 8, ASTROS 7 In Houston, Adrian Beltre, Nelson Cruz and Lance Berkman all homered to back another solid outing by Yu Darvish, and the Rangers held on for a win over the Astros. Darvish (6-1) yielded three hits and three runs, leaving after the seventh with an 8-3 lead. ATHLETICS 4, MARINERS 3 In Seattle, Josh Donaldson, Daric Barton and Brandon Moss hit solo home runs and Jarrod Parker pitched into the seventh to lead Oakland over Seattle. Jed Lowrie had three hits and an RBI as the Athletics held on to snap a season-long fivegame losing streak. INTERLEAGUE RAYS 8, PADRES 7 In St. Petersburg, Fla., Evan Longoria hit a two-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning off Padres closer Huston Street, rallying the Rays to a victory. Street (0-2) retired the first two batters in the ninth before walking Ben Zobrist on a full count. Longoria followed with his ninth home run, handing Street his first blown save in nine tries this season. The Rays won their fourth straight, coming back after Jesus Guzman’s pinch-hit grand slam off Jeremy Hellickson helped San Diego overcome a 6-2 deficit in the seventh.

Strasburg (1-5) set down Chicago’s first 11 hitters, six via strikeout. But with two outs in the fifth, third baseman Zimmerman’s off-target throw put a runner on.

In brief Lingmerth takes lead amid storms at Sawgrass Nadal advances GOLF
to Madrid final
MADRID — Rafael Nadal reached his seventh consecutive final since returning from a knee injury, brushing aside wild-card entry Pablo Andujar 6-0, 6-4 at the Madrid Open on Saturday. Nadal had little trouble extending his winning streak in claycourt semifinals to 46 matches, quickly finishing his overmatched countryman after winning the first six games. The Spaniard will play Tomas Berdych or Stanislas Wawrinka in the title match. Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova will play for the No. 1 ranking and the women’s title after both won semifinals in straight sets.

During the storm delay, Garcia suggested in a television interview that Woods was the instigator. “Well, obviously Tiger was on the left and it was my shot to hit,” Garcia said. “He moved all of the crowd that he needed to move.

Orpik’s OT goal sends Penguins to 2nd round
Kenseth gets 1st Darlington win DARLINGTON, S.C., Matt Kenseth passed his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch with 13 laps to go to win his first Southern 500 on Saturday night. Busch was the strongest car for much of the race and led for 265 of the 367 laps at Darlington Raceway. But his machine appeared to fall away at the worst possible time and he faded to sixth. Denny Hamlin completed his first full race since suffering a compression fracture in a vertebra in his lower back on March 24. Jeff Gordon wound up third in his 700th straight career start.
Carpenter posts fastest Indy lap INDIANAPOLIS — Ed Carpenter jumped to the top of the speed chart late Saturday afternoon and finished with the fastest lap of the day during the Indianapolis 500’s first practice session. Carpenter, the stepson of former Indianapolis Motor Speedway CEO Tony George, finished the 2.5-mile oval going 220.970 mph. Another American, Josef Newgarden, was second-fastest at 220.920 while rookie Carlos Munoz of Colombia was third at 220.720. Five drivers topped the 220 mark in tough conditions. It was unseasonably chilly, breezy and mostly overcast, slowing speeds that could reach 230 mph when qualifying begins next weekend. Practice is scheduled to resume Sunday. Three newcomers, including Munoz, passed their rookie tests.
Dowsett wins Giro time trial SALTARA, Italy — Alex Dowsett won the individual time trial in the eighth stage of the Giro d’Italia on Saturday after favorite Bradley Wiggins was slowed by a puncture. Vincenzo Nibali, Wiggins’ main rival for the title, took the overall lead from Benat Intxausti. Dowsett won his first Grand Tour stage by finishing the hilly 34.05-mile route from Gabicce Mare to Saltara in 1 hour, 16 minutes, 27 seconds, beating fellow Briton Wiggins by 10 seconds. Tanel Kangert of Estonia was third. Nibali is nearly half a minute in front of second-place Cadel Evans of Australia. Wiggins moved up to fourth in the overall standings, 1:16 behind the Italian. The Giro ends May 26.
America’s Cup expected to go on SAN FRANCISCO — The head of the America’s Cup planning effort says he expects sailing’s most prestigious event to go forward after the death of a sailor on a training run in the San Francisco Bay. In an interview Saturday morning, Stephen Barclay said he would await the results of an internal examination of Thursday’s accident before making the formal decision. Andrew “Bart” Simpson was killed when he was trapped under the wreckage of the Artemis Racing sailboat that capsized during a training run. The three teams vying to challenge Oracle Racing for sailing’s most prestigious trophy are scheduled to race in July. The Associated Press

So that didn’t help very much.” Woods later said Garcia didn’t have his facts straight. “The marshals, they told me he already hit, so I pulled a club and was getting ready to play my shot,” Woods said. “And then I hear his comments afterwards, and not real surprising that he’s complaining about something.” Garcia wound up making a bogey on the second hole to lose the one-shot lead he had at the start of the round.

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, May 12, 2013: This year you are lucky when it comes to your finances. Don’t overspend; otherwise, it will create a problem that is way beyond what is logical. You have changed, and so have your choices. If you are single, you could see several potential suitors and want to date them all. Take the time to check out who might be best for you. If you are attached, the two of you seem to benefit from your more positive and upbeat attitude. You might enjoy a change that could enhance your lifestyle. Gemini looks at life very differently from the way you do. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You do not take well to being stopped in your tracks; however, you will need to make an exception, as a surge of possibilities suddenly could head your way. Think carefully before you make a decision or take any action. Get feedback from a friend. Tonight: Let your hair down. This Week: Basics do count.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You tend to be careful about your spending, but a sudden whim might strike. Still, try to use good sense and stick to your budget. You often push beyond your limits.

This Week: Juggling your finances could cause plans to backfire. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Sometimes you don’t want to share what is happening in your life.

Scratch pad
like to think of myself as pretty darned tech-savvy for an older guy. It’s only rarely, though, that I get to show it. One day recently I arrived at the Apple Store with my computer and a question so complex, I worried I’d have a hard time explaining it even to the experts at the immodestly named “Genius Bar.” The genius who was assigned to me seemed very young. I told her that I am writing a book and doing it on my 4-year-old laptop, meaning that for safety’s sake, I employ an external hard drive, on which I save the contents of my computer every few days. “That’s wise,” she said. I’m a writer. I notice words and the way they are used. So I noted to myself Gene that with a younger man, the Genius Weingarten Bar woman might have used the word “smart” I think she was acknowledging The Washington our age difference but in a respectful Post way. I liked that, a lot. When my computer finishes each save, I continued, it registers this operation by displaying the time of the save in year, date, hours and minutes, like this: “2013-04-16-09.17.” She nodded. Still with me. “My problem,” I explained, “is that on the next line it gives me a two-digit number that seems to fluctuate almost at random. Look how it has varied hugely with each save, from a high of 57 to a low of 04.” She leaned in, nodded, and I detected a faint smile. This was pleasing her; a good technician must thrill to a good challenge. “OK,” she said. “What is your concern?” “My concern,” I explained, “is that if, as I suspect, this last number represents the amount of information it has saved — in gigabits or megabytes or apps or something — it should not be fluctuating like that, should it? The number is sometimes small after I have done a large amount of work, and it is sometimes large after a small amount of work. I am worried that there is some sort of glitch in the software — that it is not saving everything every time, and that if my computer suddenly fizzes to death, I will lose important parts of my book. I’m thinking this might be a warning signal, a subtle forensic indication of a larger problem that I’d otherwise never suspect.” She seemed nervous about how to handle this situation. I saw her eyes dart side to side, as though looking for help, or escape. Possibly, I thought, she might have been intimidated in the presence of a professional author. Worse, it occurred to me that she might be embarrassed by her inability to diagnose this problem — and how humiliating that might be for a young woman trying to prove her mettle in a maledominated field. It was unfair. I tried to put her at ease: “I know. It’s weird. If you need to consult someone else, please do. I have time.” “Sir, did you come here today just for this?” “Yep,” I said. No biggie, an hour by Metro and footfall. “OK. So, um, that last number is the seconds.” Excuse me? “It is giving you the time of your save in year, day, hour, minute and seconds.” “B-b-but it‚s on a completely separate line...” She tapped a key. Now it was on the same line. Some seconds passed without comment, a few too many. Finally: “Everything’s just fine,” she said, in the soothing voice one might use to tell one’s dog that he is the best dog in the whole entire world, or to comfort a senior citizen with a three-toed cane who had shuffled into an unfamiliar neighborhood and was disoriented and terrified. I would not have been surprised if she frisked my pockets to see if someone had written down my address someplace. “Ha-ha!” I said. “I’ll bet this sort of thing happens all the time!” “Not really,” she said, looking past me to the next customer.

‘Gatsby’ revives interest in author’s Maryland gravesite By Megan McDonough The Washington Post
No offense, Scott and Zelda, but this plot of land, pinched between two busy roads in suburban Rockville, Md., is easy to miss. Thousands of commuters drive past with nary a wave. Subway trains zip by, oblivious. Nearby strip malls yawn. Not exactly the kind of place where you’d expect to find a Great American Writer and His Wife. But there they are, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, underneath a canopy of oak trees on the grounds of the historic St. Mary’s Catholic Church, their place immemorial marked by a simple, flat, gravestone. It bears the classic last lines of Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby: “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” You may have heard: The book has been made into a movie, which opened Friday and is credited with catapulting the novel onto Amazon’s bestsellers list. The couple’s granddaughter, writer-filmmaker Eleanor Lanahan, said the movie stayed true to the novel and was “very good.” Things have changed for Scott and Zelda. “We usually see a handful of people visiting the cemetery in a given week,” said Rev. Monsignor

Robert Amey, who has been with St. Mary’s since 2009. “That number has tripled in the last week.” Some visitors leave mementos, most commonly flowers, spare change and liquor. Aspiring authors leave pens, and admirers occasionally write handwritten notes. Scott and Zelda weren’t always in Maryland. But Rockville makes sense as their final resting place. Although he was born in St. Paul, Minn., Fitzgerald has deep roots in Maryland. His father was born in 1853 on a small farm near Rockville and married his mother in Washington in 1890. In 1940, Fitzgerald suffered a fatal heart attack at age 44, while living in Los Angeles. By all accounts, he wanted to be buried with about 15 of his relatives interred at St. Mary’s. The church initially rejected the family’s burial request; Fitzgerald was a lapsed Catholic at the time of his death. He was initially laid to rest at the Rockville Union Cemetery — a Protestant graveyard located a mile and a half away. The Fitzgeralds’ only child, Frances “Scottie” Fitzgerald, successfully petitioned to have the couple moved to St. Mary’s in 1975. “The church believed it important,” Amey said, “to consider his God-given talents and literary genius.”

Kiwifruit Reduces Severity and Length of Respiratory Infections Eating kiwifruit can reduce the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections, including the common cold, ear infections, sinusitis, and laryngitis. Denise C. Hunter, PhD, of the New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research, Auckland, and her colleagues tracked the health of 32 people age 65 years and older. Over the winter and spring months, the subjects were asked to consume either four “gold” kiwifruit or two bananas daily for four weeks. After a “washout” period, the subjects then switched fruits for another four weeks. Eating gold kiwifruit did not reduce the incidence of infections, but it did significantly ease the severity and duration of head congestion and sore throat. Among people consuming kiwifruit, the average length of a sore throat dropped from five and one-half to two days, and head congestion decreased from almost five days to about one day. In addition, the subjects’ blood levels of several nutrients, including vitamins C and E, lutein, and zeaxanthin, increased substantially.

Whey protein can counter fatty liver disease Fatty liver disease, technically known as hepatic steatosis, is a common complication of obesity and is often a factor in impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, and high levels of blood fats. Researchers from Switzerland asked 11 obese, non-diabetic women to consume 60 grams of whey protein daily for four weeks. The women’s body mass index ranged from 31 to 52 at the beginning of the study. Consuming whey protein, which is derived from dairy, led to a 21 percent reduction in the amount of fat in liver cells. In addition, blood triglyceride levels decreased by an average of 15 percent and total cholesterol by 7 percent. Bortolotti M. Clinical Nutrition, 2011;30:494-498.

Feel Good Foods
Forget the junk food, these healthy foods fight stress and bring calm in a more fundamental way By Jack Challem
W
hen most of us think about comfort foods, our mind’s eye visualizes unhealthy foods to get us out of a funk. Depressed? Well, that tub of ice cream looks really good. Stressed? Nothing quite like chomping down on a burger and fries.
When we’re stressed, we secrete inflammationpromoting chemicals in the body and brain – causing what researchers call neuroinflammation. So tamping down inflammation can ease your aches and pain, and it can also improve your mood.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are healthy foods that can help you mellow out, destress, and maintain a good mood. Healthy foods provide good general nutrition for your brain so it can function at its best, but some foods contain specific nutrients that have a direct impact on stress and mood. These are some of my favorites.
Nuts contain both protein and healthy fats, making them an ideal snack. As a snack, nuts helps stabilize blood sugar and the irritability that often comes with feeling stressed and hungry. Besides, few foods sate our taste buds like fat. And there’s another benefit: simply chewing nuts can be a stress reliever.
Veggies are a wonderful source of fiber, which helps your digestive tract maintain a healthy population of beneficial bacteria, or probiotics. Researchers are now starting to recognize that gut bacteria can influence mood. As but one example, research has found that Lactobacillus rhamnosus increases the brain’s level of GABA (gamma amino butyric acid), a calming neurotransmitter. Crunching down on some raw veggies can also release a clenched jaw that often comes with feelings of stress.
Alaskan salmon may very well be the ultimate brain food. It’s rich in the omega-3s EPA and DHA – both essential for protecting against stress and maintaining healthy moods. Whether you opt for fish or fish oils, scores of studies have shown that these nutrients support healthier moods and reduce the risk of depression, anxiety, impulsivity, and aggressiveness (all of which can be aggravated by stressed). The omega-3s in fish oil have also been shown to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Alaskan salmon, which are wild-caught, contain far more EPA and DHA compared to farmed Atlantic salmon.
Berries. Raspberries are loaded with ellagic acid, a powerful antioxidant that fights inflammation. And blueberries are the best natural source of anthocyanidins, another anti-inflammatory antioxidant. What’s this got to do with moods?

Grass-fed beef. Grass is loaded with alphalinolenic acid, the “parent” of EPA and DHA. When cattle feed on grass, they digest the alpha-linolenic acid and convert it to EPA and DHA. That’s not the case with cattle fed corn and other grains, which virtually eliminate EPA and DHA. That means you can get plenty of omega-3s from grass-fed beef. Beef is also rich in stressing-reducing B vitamins, several of which are also necessary to produce the “feel good” neurotransmitter serotonin, which helps promote calm and relaxation. The protein in beef also stabilizes blood sugar swings, thereby reducing moodiness.

Asparagus is rich in the anti-stress B vitamins, especially folate, which is needed for the production of serotonin. It’s also rich in fiber, which helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels so you avoid the crabby moods associated with blood sugar highs and lows. Green tea. Whether hot or iced, green tea is one of the most nutritious zero-calorie beverages on the planet. It’s rich in EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), a potent antioxidant, and L-theanine, which acts like a neurotransmitter to increase calm and improve mental focus. One study found that those who drank five or more cups of green tea a day experienced less psychological stress compared to those who drank one cup or less each day. Eggs contain large amounts of the B-vitamin choline, which has been shown to modulate the stress response by lowering levels of cortisol. A deficiency of choline may change the way the brain responds to stress. Eggs are also an excellent source of tryptophan, which is crucial for producing serotonin. So next time you are feeling wound up and stressed out, instead of reaching for the ice cream, which will only temporarily cheer you up (and make things worse in the long run), nosh on some of these healthy stress-busting foods. Your brain will thank you.

Sage. Incredible as it might sound, eating the herb sage can lead to improvements in mood. British researchers used psychological tests to assess students’ moods and memory before giving them capsules containing either an essential oil of sage or placebos. For two to six hours after consuming sage, testing showed that the students felt more alert, calm, and content. Their memories also improved.

Citrus fruit. Speaking of cortisol, studies show that vitamin C reduces both cortisol response and blood pressure in subjects exposed to stressful events. People with higher levels of vitamin C don’t have the same mental and physical reactions to stress as those with low levels of the vitamin. One of the best food sources of vitamin C is citrus fruits.
Avocados. Could nature have designed a more perfect anti-stress veggie? Avocados contain plenty of B vitamins – long recognized as antistress nutrients. They also contain oleic acid, the same healthy fat found in olive oil that can ease neuroinflammation. And avocados are one of the best sources of potassium, which helps keep blood pressure low.
