Native Americans tell stories of celestial hunters killing a great bear in the autumn sky. The bears blood drips on forests, changing many leaves to red. Other trees are turned yellow by the fat that splatters out of the kettle as the hunters cook the meat. While these fictional tales are entertaining, we can also take pleasure in understanding the truths of falls color change.

Where colors are bright and beautiful Only a few places in the world have the combination of tree species and climatic conditions necessary for vivid fall foliage. Deciduous forests and trees, with their many broad leaves that change color almost in unison, display the most noticeable fall color. Evergreen species also display fall colors, only slowly and gradually. Some of the best locations with deciduous trees and favorable conditions for brilliant fall color are: the eastern U.S.; southeastern Canada; a few mountainous locations scattered in western North America; and areas around Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco. Why leaves change color Thanks to the physics of sunlight striking pigments in leaves, we see various leaf colors throughout the year. Four broad categories of pigments playa crucial role in fall beauty: Chlorophylls, carotenoids, anthocyanins, and tannins. During the spring and summer, leaves are the principal site for the photosyn thetic process that transforms carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates that fuel tree progrowth. This cess takes place in numerous cells containing chlorophyll, the pigment that gives leaves their green color. As the days shorten and temperatures cool in the fall, the synthesis of new chlorophyll drops off, green color disappears and the rate of photosynthesis declines. Trees become frugal and more efficient, pulling nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus into twigs and branches for winter storage, further enhancing the loss of chlorophyll. Along with chlorophyll, leaves contain yellow or orange carotenoid, the same pigment that gives carrots their familiar color. Masked for most of the year by chlorophyll, the carotenoids reveal themselves in the fall, most noticeably as yellows and golds in the quaking aspen, Norway maple, Ohio buckeye, sycamore, birches, hickories, ashes, and many other tree species. The golden yellow seen in beech leaves, for example, result from the presence oftannins and carotenoid pigments. The vivid pink, red, and purple leaves seen on maples, sassafras, sumacs, white and scarlet oaks, shadbush, winged euonymus, and many other woody plants are formed by reactions between various sugars and complex compounds called anthocyanidins. A mixture of red anthocyanin pigment and yellow carotene often results in the bright orange color seen in some species of maples. food-maki- Finding a solution 6 Continued from page prizes for new tournament players. This level of prizes will certainly draw some of the best players from the Southwest, says Nash, and we expect some International Masters and possibly Grandmasters will compete. Nash, who organized the 2002 tourna- ment in Moab, currently teaches at Durango High School. An amateur player, he is the reigning Utah Quick Chess Champion. Durango is fortunate to have a chess organizer and Senior tournament director with Nashs experience, says Mical, who himself has been organizing and directing tournaments in the area for many years.

Even beginners can expect several close and exciting games, says Mical, and there will be s beautiful trophies for twelfth gradthrough ers. This is the best time ever in history to start playing competitive chess, according to Nash, because 2005 will be the first year that chess prizes for amateur players will be in the millions of dollars nationwide. For example, rated players will compete for $500,000 in prizes at a Minneapolis tournament next May (www.hbfoundation.org). Everyone who competes in the Durango tournament will get a USCF rating.
