Fewer weeks of jobless benefits to be offered


ALBUQUERQUE,  (AP) — Fewer weeks of unemployment benefits will soon be  available to jobless New Mexicans and the Department of Workforce Solutions says  it's because of a change in federal law.

A maximum of 54 weeks of unemployment compensation will be offered with  claims effective Sept. 2. That's down from 60 weeks currently.

The department says New Mexicans eligible for 60 weeks of benefits before  Sept. 2 can continue to receive payments for up to that amount of time during a phase-out period.

Some closures lifted following Gila forest fire 

  SILVER CITY, N.M. (AP) — State and federal officials have lifted some of the  closure orders that were put in place while a massive wildfire burned through  parts of the Gila National Forest earlier this year.

The Whitewater-Baldy Fire charred more than 465 square miles to become the  largest fire in New Mexico's recorded history. It burned for several weeks after  being sparked by lightning.

Rehabilitation of some burned areas is wrapping up.  Still, forest officials say some trails will remain closed until assessments can be done.

Forest Supervisor Kelly Russell says the area is dealing with the effects of summer rains and officials are concerned about the stability of the trail beds.

Standing dead trees are also a concern.  Forest officials say an assessment of trails impacted by fallen trees will be completed next spring.

New 'black berets' exhibit opens at NMSU 
 
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — A new photo exhibit showcasing New Mexico's "Black  Berets" of the Chicano Movement has opened.

Photographs of the Black Berets are now display at the New Mexico State University's Conroy Honors Center Gallery until Oct. 26.

The Mexican-American community activist group, which operated in Albuquerque from 1969-73, created a health clinic and programs for youth. The group was  loosely based on the Black Panthers and formed chapters in California and other
states in the southwest to fight discrimination and police brutality. 

The Black Berets also are the subject of a new documentary, "New Mexico's  Black Berets: An Untold Story."

working to get people signed up before the Oct. 9 deadline for participating in  the Nov. 6 election.

Las Cruces District Office of the Bureau of Land Management

BLM Plans Control or Eradication of Invasive Species

(Deming) – BLM lands within Luna County could be affected by  a plan to treat non-native, noxious and invasive plant species in the  area.
       
Officials with the Las Cruces District Office of the Bureau of Land  Management have prepared a draft Environmental Assessment which analyzes the environmental impacts of treating the targeted plant species within the counties of Luna as well as Otero, Dona Ana, Sierra, Grant and Hidalgo.
       
In addition, the BLM has been working with partners to treat non-federal  lands within these counties when funding is available.
       
Reportedly, officials are proposing an Integrated Pest Management  approach to controlling or eradicating the non-native, noxious and invasive  plant species that occur on BLM and adjoining lands.
       
The approach would utilize cultural, manual, mechanical and herbicidal  methods to treat the invading plants.
       
Experts say these non-native plants, which have been brought into the  area and have been able to adapt to the conditions here, are now sometimes out-competing native vegetation.
       
BLM officials say the control or eradication of these species will help  return the lands to a productive and healthy condition.
       
The Environmental Assessment is available for public review and comment  at www.blm.gov/nm/lascruces.
       
Comments must be submitted by September  18th.

AP-NM--Ruidoso Downs-Drug tests confirms drug use in horses 

 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Three trainers whose horses tested positive for an  exotic painkilling drug could face suspensions, fines and criminal charges.

New Mexico Racing Commission executive director Vince Mares says independent  lab tests have confirmed that nine horses had been drugged with dermorphin.

He tells the Albuquerque Journal that the cases are being
forwarded to the state Attorney General's Office for possible criminal prosecution.

Trainers can mask an injured horse's pain by using illegal drugs like dermorphin and still race the horse. But the horses could break down, injuring the animals and their riders. 

The three trainers had invoked their right to have their horses' blood and  urine samples re-tested by an independent lab after initial tests in May. 

Mares says they will be subject to an administrative hearing in the coming weeks.

NM teacher receives probation on voyeurism charges


ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — An elementary school teacher caught taking images up girls' skirts has been sentenced to five years' probation.

KRQE reports that Lucero had faced up  to five years in jail as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors.

Lucero says he's a changed man and recognizes how to stay away from high-risk situations.

 He recently completed a 14-month program for sex offenders, though he's not required to register as one.
