EDUARDO CASTILLO AND FRANK BAJAK Associated Press MEXICO CITY — Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the Nobel laureate whose intoxicating novels and short stories exposed millions outside Latin America to its passions, superstition, violence and social inequality, died at home in Mexico City on Thursday. He was 87. Widely considered the most popular Spanish-language writer since Miguel de Cervantes in the 17th century, the Colombian-born Garcia Marquez achieved literary celebrity that spawned comparisons to Mark Twain and Charles Dickens. His lamboyant and melancholy ictional works — among them “Chronicle of a Death Foretold,” ‘‘Love in the Time of Cholera” and “Autumn of the Patriarch” — outsold everything published in Spanish except the Bible. The epic 1967 novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude” sold more than 50 million copies in more than 25 languages. His stories made him literature’s best-known practitioner of magical realism, the ictional blending of the everyday with fantastical elements such as a boy born with a pig’s tail and a man trailed by a cloud of yellow butterlies. The Mexican government said Garcia Marquez died at 2 p.m. Thursday. A gray hearse escorted by dozens of police oicers in patrol cars and on motorcycles left the author’s home about three hours later. “A thousand years of solitude and sadness because of the death of the greatest Colombian of all time!” Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said on Twitter. “Solidarity and condolences to his wife and family ... Such giants never die.” The irst sentence of “One Hundred Years of Solitude” has become one of the most famous opening lines of all time: “Many years later, as he faced the iring squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was DEATH NOTICES TULSA | Lana Beth (Lindsey) Waller was born June 4, 1956 in Falfurrias, TX to James Winston Lindsey and Julie Evelyn McCoy and passed from this life April 11, 2014 in Tulsa, OK at the age of 57.

BIRTHS U.S.-WORLD DEATHS to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.” Biographer Gerald Martin told The Associated Press that the novel was the irst in which “Latin Americans recognized themselves, that deined them, celebrated their passion, their intensity, their spirituality and superstition, their grand propensity for failure.” Like many Latin American writers, he transcended the world of letters. Widely known as “Gabo,” he became a hero to the left as an early ally of Cuban leader Fidel Castro and a critic of Washington’s violent interventions from Vietnam to Chile. Garcia Marquez, among writers such as Norman Mailer and Tom Wolfe, was also an early practitioner of literary noniction now known as New Journalism. He became an elder statesman of Latin American journalism, with magisterial works of noniction that included the “Story of A Shipwrecked Sailor,” the tale of a seaman lost on a life raft for 10 days. Other noniction pieces proiled Venezuela’s larger-thanlife president, Hugo Chavez, and vividly portrayed how cocaine traickers led by Pablo Escobar shredded the social and moral fabric of the writer’s native Colombia. In 1994, he founded the Iberoamerican Foundation for New Journalism, which ofers training and competitions to raise the standard of narrative and investigative journalism across Latin America. “The world has lost one of its greatest visionary writers — and one of my favorites from the time I was young,” U.S. President Barack Obama said. Garcia Marquez was born in Aracataca, a small town near Colombia’s Caribbean coast, on March 6, 1927. He was the eldest of the 11 children of Luisa Santiaga Marquez and Gabriel Elijio Garcia, a telegraphist and a wandering homeopathic pharmacist. Just after his birth, his parents left him with his maternal grandparents and moved to Barranquilla to open a pharmacy. He spent 10 years with his grandmother and his grandfather, a retired colonel who fought in the devastating 1,000-Day War that hastened Colombia’s loss of the Panamanian isthmus. His grandparents’ tales provided grist for Garcia Marquez’s iction and Aracataca became the model for “Macondo,” the village surrounded by banana plantations where “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is set. Garcia Marquez lived in Europe for part of the 1950s. After touring the Soviet-controlled east, he went to Rome in 1955 to study cinema, a lifelong love. He later moved to Paris, living among intellectuals and artists exiled from the many Latin American dictatorships of the day. He returned to Colombia in 1958 to marry Mercedes Barcha, a neighbor from childhood days. They had two sons, Rodrigo, a ilm director, and Gonzalo, a graphic designer. Garcia Marquez turned down ofers of diplomatic posts and spurned attempts to draft him to run for Colombia’s presidency, though he did get involved in peace mediation eforts between the government and leftist rebels.

Bus system readies for cuts • Service changes will depend on the 2014-15 city budget. BY JARREL WADE World Staf Writer Tulsa’s public transit system is responding to pending city budget cuts by preparing to cut some routes, reduce the frequency of other routes and raise fares. The exact makeup of changes is dependent on the cuts the organization will be expected to take in next year’s budget. Mayor Dewey Bartlett is expected to make his budget proposal to City Council on May 1, with the iscal year starting July 1. Debbie Ruggles, assistant general manager of the Metropolitan Tulsa Transit Au- thority, said changes won’t be made until after July 1. MTTA and other departments were told to come up with scenarios for three levels of cuts. Tulsa Transit is facing scenarios of an 8 percent cut, a 10 percent cut or about a 13 percent cut, Ruggles said. “We found out that we may actually be cut at the highest level,” Ruggles said. “If that becomes a reality … unfortunately we would then be looking at some combination (of scenarios).” Regardless of which scenario, Ruggles said the authority would be cutting the Nightline route, which runs from 8:30 p.m. to midnight on most routes. “We are trying to impact the lowest number of people,” Ruggles said. The Nightline route accounts for about 2 percent of Tulsa Transit’s annual ridership, she said. The problems there is that many riders have contacted the authority to say that their jobs are dependent on the night route, Ruggles said. “There’s no question that the kind of message we’ve heard from our customers is that this is going to have a real dramatic impact on their lives,” Ruggles said. Other options being considered by the authority include reducing the frequency of some routes, increasing fares from $1.50 to $1.75 and cutting back the times routes run into the evenings. “We’re still hopeful that there is going to be an opportunity for the cuts not to be as deep,” Ruggles said.
