Lorraine Juliana
Sister Anne Immanuel Juliana, O.C.D., (Lorraine Robertson Juliana) of the Car melite Monastery of Santa Fe, went home to the Lord in the 90th year of her life, the 30th year of her religious profession. Sister Anne Immanuel was born in Colorado but spent most of her early years in Roswell and Carlsbad. As a convert to Catholicism, she dearly loved the Church and took advantage of every opportunity to evangelize—as a published author before entering the Monastery, and as an enthusiastic witness when receiving medical care
around town. The call to be a cloistered Carmelite nun was her second vocation following that of being a wife and mother of seven children. Sister Anne Immanuel was devoted to praying the rosary, and peacefully passed away with her rosary tightly clutched in her hand. A rosary will be recited Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2012, at 1:30 p.m., at the Car melite Monastery, 649 Mt.

Longtime Indian activist Russell Means dies at 72 SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Russell Means spent a lifetime as a modern American Indian warrior. He railed against broken treaties, fought for the return of stolen land and even took up arms against the federal government. A onetime leader of the American Indian Movement, he called national attention to the plight of impoverished tribes and often lamented the waning of Indian culture. After leaving the movement in the 1980s, the handsome, braided activist was still a cultural presence, appearing in several movies. Means, who died Monday from throat cancer at age 72, helped lead the 1973 uprising at Wounded Knee — a bloody confrontation that raised America’s awareness about the struggles of Indians and gave rise to a wider protest movement that lasted for the rest of the decade. Before AIM, there were few national advocates for American Indians. Means was one of the first to emerge. He was also one of the first to urge sports teams to do away with Indian names and mascots. AIM was founded in the late 1960s to demand that the government honor its treaties with American Indian tribes. Means and AIM co-founder Dennis Banks were charged in 1974

for their role in the Wounded Knee uprising in which hundreds of protesters occupied the town on the site of the 1890 Indian massacre. Protesters and federal authorities were locked in a standoff for 71 days and frequently exchanged gunfire. Before it was over, two
Pediatricians offer first report on organics
CHICAGO (AP) — Parents who want to reduce their kids’ exposure to pesticides may seek out organic fruits and vegetables, but they aren’t necessarily safer or more nutritious than conventional foods, the nation’s leading pediatricians group says in its first advice on organics. Science hasn’t proven that eating pesticide-free food makes people healthier, the American Academy of Pediatrics said. “Theoretically there could be negative effects, especially in young children with growing brains,” but rigorous scientific evidence is lacking, said Dr. Janet Silverstein, a co-author of the academy’s new report and a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of Florida in Gainesville. The report was published online Monday in Pediatrics and echoes a Stanford University study released last month. That research concluded that while eating organic fruits and vegetables can reduce pesticide exposure, the amount measured in conventionally grown produce was within safety limits. Since organic foods tend to be costlier, a good strategy is to buy only organic versions of foods with the most pesticide residue — including apples, peaches, strawberries and celery, Silverstein said. Parents should aim to provide their families a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whether organic or not, along with plenty of whole grains and low-fat or fat-free dairy products, the report says.

tribal members were killed and a federal agent seriously wounded. After a trial that lasted several months, a judge threw out the charges on grounds of government misconduct. Other protests led by Means included an American Indian
prayer vigil on top of Mount Rushmore and the seizure of a replica of the Mayflower on Thanksgiving Day in Plymouth, Mass. Means said his most important accomplishment was the proposal for the Republic of Lakotah, a plan to carve out a sovereign Indian nation inside the United States. He took the idea all the way to the United Nations, even though it was ignored by tribal governments closer to home, including his own Oglala Sioux leaders, with whom he often clashed. In 1975, murder charges were filed against Means and Dick Marshall, an AIM member, in the shooting death of a Sioux man at a saloon in the town of Scenic, S.D. Marshall served 24 years in prison. Means was acquitted. His activism extended to tribes beyond the United States. In the mid-1980s, Means traveled to Nicaragua to support indigenous Miskito Indians who were fighting the Sandinista government. Born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Means grew up in the San Francisco area and battled drugs and alcohol as a young man before becoming an early leader of AIM. With his rugged good looks and long, dark braids, he also was known for a handful of Hollywood roles, most notably in the 1992 movie “The Last of the Mohicans.”
He also appeared in the 1994 film “Natural Born Killers,” voiced Chief Powhatan in the 1995 animated film “Pocahontas” and guest starred in 2004 on the HBO series “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Means also ran unsuccessfully for the Libertarian nomination for president in 1988 and briefly served as a vice presidential candidate in 1984 on the ticket of Hustler publisher Larry Flynt. Means always considered himself a Libertarian and couldn’t believe that anyone would want to call themselves a Republican or a Democrat. “It’s just unconscionable that America has become so stupid,” he said. Means recounted his life in the book “Where White Men Fear to Tread.” He said he pulled no punches in the autobiography, admitting to his frailties but also acknowledging his successes. “I tell the truth, and I expose myself as a weak, misguided, misdirected, dysfunctional human being I used to be,” he said. Means died at his ranch in Porcupine, S.D. He announced in August 2011 that he had inoperable throat cancer and told The Associated Press that he would forego mainstream medicine in favor of traditional American Indian remedies.
