Highway violence turns
driving into fatal game
Associated Press
DALLAS — Fits of violence are
turning Texas highways into mod
ern versions of “High Noon” where
dueling for a left-hand lane can in
volve deadlier weapons than just
glares and obscenities, police say.
Three people have been shot in
the Dallas-Fort Worth area in the
last year, the most recently on Mon
day when a young mother was shot
and killed after another motorist
tried to force her husband’s car off
Interstate 35W in Fort Worth.
Last summer, a construction
worker who was directing traffic
around a barrier sign was injured
when shot by a motorist fed up with
delays. And last February, a car’s
passenger died after a fracas on Dal
las’ congested Central Expressway.
Psychology experts say the inci
dents point up a growing problem of
freeway violence in a world of
mounting stress, and they warn that
it’s getting to be far safer to flee than
fight.
“It’s getting much worse,” Dallas
police psychologist Dr. S.A. Somode-
villa said. “It’s like they’re saying,
‘You’ve affronted me personally’ if
you have cut into their lane or not let
them onto the highway.
“It’s getting to be like a duel or the
movie ‘High Noon,”’ he added. “But
whether you’re right or wrong is ir
relevant. Forget being macho be
cause this could be your life that
you’re talking about.”
Somodevilla, like psychology pro
fessor Dr. William Tedford at
Southern Methodist University, ad
vises “getting the heck away from a
bad situation.”
"You can’t walk around thek
hit a pillow, douse yourself witk
ter or even count to 10 sinct
must continue keeping ale;
drive,” he said.

“Part of the problem is adrena

you’re confronted with a tense situa
tion on a highway, the adrenalin
starts pumping and it triggers the
natural reaction of flight or right.”
Flight isn’t easy to choose, either,
he said: freeways are one of the most
restrictive environments for hand
ling stress.

Dallas woman finds fulfillm&
caring for abandoned chile
Associated Press
DALLAS — Sally McKenzie never
expected the heartache and the hap
piness, the trials and the triumphs.
At first, it was just a routine baby-
sittingjob.
Three years ago, a young woman
came to McKenzie with a newborn in
her arms. The woman said the ba
by’s name was Joey.
“She asked me to watch him while
she worked for a grooming salon,”
McKenzie says.
What was supposed to be a part-
time job turned into a lifetime of de
votion when Joey’s mother aban
doned him with McKenzie.
One day, “I’m going to tell
him, ‘Your momma may
have left you, but here’s a
hundred and more people
that did love and care for
you,

third husband.
McKer izie, single with dim
dren of her own and noti:
money in the bank, started!
paign to adopt )oey.
“I couldn’t afford to hireai;
ney to help me get the adoptr
printed up some fliers and;
people to raise money for the:
tion and surgery,” she says.
With the help of friend Kei;
ber, she went to bars and dubs
pickle jar to collect money, si*
able to raise $900 — enough
the legal fees to adopt the the:
week-old boy.
“When she brought him to me, he
had an empty bottle, one diaper and
no shirt,” McKenzie says. “She was
paying me good, though. Never
skipped out on a payment until she
left I for good.”
McKenzie says she is glad Joey’s
mother left him with her.
“At that time, I really needed him,
like he needed me,” she says. McK
enzie, 37, says she was just getting
She says she eventually would
have adopted Joey, but one thing
gave the legal proceeding a special
urgency. Joey had a heart defect that
required an immediate operation . . .
generally, something only a legal
guardian could approve.
“I'm going to tell him.

McKenzie says. “Maybe he'lli|

A hole in the heart’s wall and a
blocked ventricle made Joey’s
chances of survival slim, doctors at
Children’s Medical Center in Dallas
told McKenzie.
After she adopted Joey, iht
helped pay for his operation.
Despite the unusaf circu®£
of his adoption, and the heart a
