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."

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A coalition of nonprofits are banding together to get more New Mexicans registered to vote.

According to census data, some 616,000 eligible New Mexicans are not  registered to vote. So organizations such as the League of Women Voters of New  Mexico, Common Cause New Mexico and the national Voter Participation Center are
working to get people signed up before the Oct. 9 deadline for participating in  the Nov. 6 election.
