Seventy years after the first atomic bomb deto-nated in the New Mex-

ico desert, one Green Valley veteran is still dealing with the lingering effects of U.S. nuclear weapons testing.

Carlos Contreras, 78, served in the Navy and is among thousands of Ameri-cans who took part in Cold War-era nuclear tests by the United States.

He still holds bitterness toward the government and the military over that test — Operation Wigwam, conducted 10 years after the New Mexico blast.

Monsoon’slightning, wind poundGV, AmadoBy Regina [email protected]

After about a week’s reprieve, the monsoon season was back at it over the weekend.

A hay barn at Equine Voices Rescue & Sanc-tuary in Amado was destroyed Sunday after-noon by a microburst and two palm trees in Green Valley were struck by lightning.

Angie Wilson, ex-ecutive assistant at the sanctuary, said the steel roof was lifted off the three-sided barn and dumped nearby. Wind and rain from the storm also damaged steel sid-ing, tore away the tarp that protects the hay and ripped posts from the ground.

“We just received about seven weeks of new hay for the horses and if that gets wet, there’s no way they can eat it,” Wilson said Monday. “The hay costs about $6,000 and with the barn, we are look-ing at a loss of at least $15,000 or more.”

Wilson said the staff purchased two tarps Monday to protect the hay from any more rainfall.

“Without the barn it’s very difficult to keep dry and this is a great expense all around,” she said. “We are get-

ting two more horses this evening.”

The sanctuary houses about 60 horses.Lightning struck two palm trees in Green Valley Sunday minutes apart, setting them on fire. Both fires were quickly extinguished without injury or sig-nificant damage.

The first report came about 2:30 p.m., of a tree on fire along East Los Arcos not far from Abrego Drive and Esperanza Boulevard, a spokesman for the Green Valley Fire Dis-trict said.

Then just before 2:45, the second call came in from along the 1600 block of West Vuelta Salvatierra, off Camino del Sol and Camino Es-telar. The latter strike caused a power surge, resulting in electrical issues for the residents.

When lightning is in the area, GVFD advises to stay or get indoors or inside a vehicle with the windows up be-cause no outdoor area is safe during a thun-derstorm. Also, while inside, stay off corded phones, computers and other electrical equip-ment, keep away from windows and doors, and avoid using sinks, baths and faucets.

While most students are getting a break from classes this summer, more than 700 seniors, including 48 from Green Valley, went back to school at Utah State

es at Utah State in Logan for eight years.

“It’s like a Green Valley reunion every year,” he says. “We attended an in-formational lecture about the program years ago at St. Francis Church and thought we’d go and check

best,” Jack says. “My favor-ite class has been about the 1950s – a time I remember well. The instructor is great and it was a decade of a lot of change and is-sues I can relate to.”

High-level vets can get help under bill By Soyenixe LopezCronkite News

WASHINGTON – Sgt. Daniel Somers’ work in Iraq was classified, so when he returned from the war and sought treatment for traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder he balked at a care in a group setting.

Somers, afraid he might reveal classified information, asked the Department of Veterans Affairs in Phoenix for individual care.

After two years with no resolu-tion from the VA, Somers took his own life in 2013.

“No veteran or family should go through the same tragedy that the Somers family experienced,” said Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Phoenix, testifying in support of a bill aimed at helping veterans like Somers get the care they need.

The Cl assified Veterans Access to Care Act would require the VA to ensure that covered veterans have access to mental health treatment,

and that VA employees get guidance on how to properly deal with veter-ans in classified settings.

It would also let veterans with classified experiences identify themselves so they can get the ap-propriate care as quickly as pos-sible.

By Ethan McSweeneyGreen Valley News

Seventy years after the first atomic bomb deto-nated in the New Mex-

ico desert, one Green Valley veteran is still dealing with the lingering effects of U.S. nuclear weapons testing.

Carlos Contreras, 78, served in the Navy and is among thousands of Ameri-cans who took part in Cold War-era nuclear tests by the United States.

He still holds bitterness toward the government and the military over that test — Operation Wigwam, conducted 10 years after the New Mexico blast.

Wigwam, carried out May 14, 1955, remains controver-sial 60 years later because it put thousands of Ameri-cans, mostly military, in the middle of a nuclear weapons test in the Pacific Ocean. Contreras, a teenager at the time, says he still suffers from health issues related to the operation.

• • •Thursday marks the 70th

anniversary of the Trinity test about 35 miles outside Socorro, N.M., as part of the top-secret Manhattan Project. The test on July 16, 1945, plunged the world into the nuclear age and eventually into the Cold War.

As the anniversary ap-proaches, Contreras is remem-bering his encounter with nuclear testing and the lives of the men it affected.

Contreras, born and raised in Tucson, enlisted in the Navy in 1954, when he was 17. By May 1955, he was a seaman aboard the USS Marion Coun-ty, a tank landing ship with about 90 crew.

The USS Marion County was at sea when the crew was informed that in a few days they would be involved in a nuclear test.

“We were admonished that this was top secret,” Contre-ras said. “Our cameras were

confiscated and we were told that we couldn’t say anything about the operation.”

He said the crew was threatened with imprison-ment and dishonorable dis-charge if they spoke about the operation.

“They put the fear of God into us,” he said.

The USS Marion County and about 30 other ships in-volved in Operation Wigwam sailed to a site more than 500 miles southwest of San Diego where the test would be con-ducted.

A 40-kiloton bomb, about twice the size of the bomb used for the Trinity test 10 years earlier, would be deto-nated 2,000 feet under water.

Contreras and other crew members laid out orange buoys with cable to help with the test. Shortly before the detonation, the USS Marion County was told to release those cables and begin moving away from ground zero.

Monsoon’slightning, wind poundGV, AmadoBy Regina [email protected]

After about a week’s reprieve, the monsoon season was back at it over the weekend.

A hay barn at Equine Voices Rescue & Sanc-tuary in Amado was destroyed Sunday after-noon by a microburst and two palm trees in Green Valley were struck by lightning.

Angie Wilson, ex-ecutive assistant at the sanctuary, said the steel roof was lifted off the three-sided barn and dumped nearby. Wind and rain from the storm also damaged steel sid-ing, tore away the tarp that protects the hay and ripped posts from the ground.

“We just received about seven weeks of new hay for the horses and if that gets wet, there’s no way they can eat it,” Wilson said Monday. “The hay costs about $6,000 and with the barn, we are look-ing at a loss of at least $15,000 or more.”

Wilson said the staff purchased two tarps Monday to protect the hay from any more rainfall.

“Without the barn it’s very difficult to keep dry and this is a great expense all around,” she said. “We are get-

ting two more horses this evening.”

The sanctuary houses about 60 horses.Lightning struck two palm trees in Green Valley Sunday minutes apart, setting them on fire. Both fires were quickly extinguished without injury or sig-nificant damage.

The first report came about 2:30 p.m., of a tree on fire along East Los Arcos not far from Abrego Drive and Esperanza Boulevard, a spokesman for the Green Valley Fire Dis-trict said.

Then just before 2:45, the second call came in from along the 1600 block of West Vuelta Salvatierra, off Camino del Sol and Camino Es-telar. The latter strike caused a power surge, resulting in electrical issues for the residents.

When lightning is in the area, GVFD advises to stay or get indoors or inside a vehicle with the windows up be-cause no outdoor area is safe during a thun-derstorm. Also, while inside, stay off corded phones, computers and other electrical equip-ment, keep away from windows and doors, and avoid using sinks, baths and faucets.

W e can probably all agree that it takes work to keep our

Green Valley Recreation, Inc. and Green Valley, Arizona, looking sharp as a premiere destination for active adults and retirees. Within GVR, there’s internal pressure to present highly functional and well-maintained facilities plus the highest levels of service at an affordable cost. Externally, the task may be even more diffi cult when considering public infrastructure needs and attracting new economic and business development.

Green Valley is unincorporated, and no one entity speaks with authority for the entire community. The lo-cal Chamber of Commerce recognizes this shortcoming and in May 2015 invited Green Valley Recreation, Inc. (GVR) as a “key community leader” to join an alliance to “Create a plan of action and cooperation for both the community and economic advancement of Green Valley.” The Chamber of Commerce realizes that GVR is a paramount Green Valley economic driver and major attraction for active adults and retirees.

Growing Anticipation

Proposed Boundary Expansion Forum Well Attended

I t must be agony for GVR’s “picklers” to see the four newly-poured

pickleball courts at East Center, only to have to wait for them to properly cure before being opened. Like watching paint dry or waiting for ketchup to fl ow from the bottle. These days, GVR’s “picklecam” – a live video stream on GVR’s website that shows court construction prog-ress – has little activity other than a passing bee or blowing leaf.

But soon – in mid-Au-

gust – GVR will be offi cially opening the four new pickleball courts at East Center with a very Grand Opening. This celebratory event with speakers, refreshments, a commemorative gift and promotional items will be held mid-morning before the sun rises too high in the sky, so that players can christen the new courts and begin playing. Custom Courts, Inc. of Scottsdale, which was awarded the contract, began construc-tion in June after GVR’s

Board approved $150,000 toward the project.

With all the giddy antici-pation, it’s hard to imagine that less than a year ago the subject of building new

pickleball courts to accom-modate growing demand spurred very heated debate at GVR’s Racquet Sport

(cont. pg. 3)

About 400 members fi lled West Center Auditorium on June 23 for a member forum to get answers to their questions about the proposed Boundary Expansion Referendum, which, if approved, would extend GVR’s boundaries to allow eight homeowners associations (HOAs) to voluntarily join GVR.
