CRACKDOWN ON SUGARY DRINKS IN NY

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City cracked down on the sale of supersized sodas and other sugary drinks Thursday in what was celebrated by some as a groundbreaking attempt to curb obesity but condemned by others as a blatant intrusion into people’s lives by a busybody mayor.

Fed unveils bold steps to aid economy WASHINGTON (AP) — Alarmed by the chronically weak U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve launched an aggressive new effort Thursday to boost the stock market and make borrowing cheaper for years to come.

And it made clear it won’t stop there and is ready to try other stimulative measures if hiring doesn’t pick up.

Stock prices rocketed up in approval. But economists said the Fed’s plans to buy mortgage bonds for as long as it deems necessary and to keep interest rates at record lows until mid-2015 — six months longer than previously planned — might provide little benefit to the econo-

Chairman Ben Bernanke himself cautioned that the Fed’s actions are no panacea for slow growth and high unemployment, and said the economy will probably need help even after the recovery strengthens.

“The idea is to quicken the recovery,” Bernanke said at a news conference after the Fed lowered its outlook for growth this year.

As part of its bold and open-ended plan, the Fed said it would spend $40 billion a month to buy mortgage bonds to make home buying more affordable. That will be the third round of bond-buying in an effort to spur the economy,

and the Fed left open the possibility of taking other steps to encourage borrowing and financial risk-taking.

Stock prices rose steadily after the Fed’s announcement at 12:30 p.m. Eastern time. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up more than 200 points, coming within 625 points — or 4.6 percent — of its all-time high. Other stock averages also surged.

The Fed’s policy committee announced the actions after its monthly two-day meeting. The moves pointed to how sluggish the U.S. and global economies remain more than three See FED, Page A3

In a 6-2 vote, the City Council approved modifications to the municipal judge qualifications, removing the requirement of an associate degree and replacing it with a high school diploma or GED, rendering the education standards equivalent to those for Chaves County Magistrate Court judges.

Councilors Jason Perry and Jeanine Corn-Best voted against the modifications.

Councilors Elena Velasquez and Juan Oropesa were absent from the meeting.

The change in qualifications will be effective for the next municipal election or appointment of a municipal judge.

Obama, Romney talk Libya says crowd protest was a economy, foreign policy cover for consulate attack

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Republican Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama on Thursday of “failing American workers” by ignoring Chinese trade violations, and seized on new Federal Reserve attempts to boost the economy as proof the administration’s policies are not working.

Obama campaigned as commander in chief after the violent deaths of four U.S. officials at a diplomatic post in Libya. “No act of terror will go unpunished ... no act of violence shakes the resolve of the United States of America,” he said.

The president spoke in Colorado and Romney in

Virginia with less than eight weeks remaining in a close campaign for the White House in tough economic times. The two states are among a handful likely to settle the race, and most polls rate Obama a shaky favorite.

BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — Heavily armed militants used a protest of an anti-Islam film as a cover and may have had help from inside Libyan security in their deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate, a senior Libyan official said Thursday.

Senate candidate Heather Wilson: ‘Government cannot create wealth’ Following the release of a Census Bureau report revealing New Mexico as the most impoverished state nationwide, Republican Senate candidate Heather Wilson discussed the stark disparities between her economic plan and that of her contender, Democratic Congressman Martin Heinrich, during a stop in Roswell Thursday

“Mr. Heinrich and I just have very strong disagreements on how to go forward and how to get out of what has been the longest run of high unemployment since the (Great Depression),” Wilson said. “We’re over 8 percent as an unemploy-

ment rate and that doesn’t count the people who have given up.”

Citing August job numbers — 96,000 new jobs were added last month — Wilson said, “For every one person who got a job, four people gave up looking.

That was the heartbreaking part of it. We’ve got to change direction.” Touching on the country’s more than $16 trillion debt, which she noted was larger than the size of our econo-

my, Wilson said, “This is unsustainable. This is roughly where Greece was in 2008, as a ratio of debt to the size of our economy.”

With less than 60 days until the election, Wilson positioned herself as the alternative to Heinrich’s of ferings, which she described as increased debt, higher taxes and more government spending.

She spoke of controlling spending and her support of private sector economic

growth, which she says, is “where real jobs come from.” Wilson is also in favor of a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

“Government cannot create wealth. It can create the conditions for small businesses and entrepreneurs to invest and create jobs,” she said, which for Wilson translates to low taxes. She See WILSON, Page A3

GENERAL Roswell Daily Record ‘You’re Family’ play to premiere Job Corps student Armando Vazquez receives Fluor Foundation scholarship

in Ruidoso Sept. 21-22 at 7 p.m.

VANESSA KAHIN VISTAS EDITOR After 20 years of being turned down by theatres worldwide, playwright Robert Patrick’s creation, “You’re Family,” is suddenly hot—so much so that at least three venues recently wanted to produce it.

But for Patrick, who found his calling in New York City and now resides in Los Angeles, there was only one suitable place where “You’re Family” could have its New Mexico premiere—near where he grew up, in the land where life experiences shaped what would become the base of his prolific playwriting career.

“You’re Family” will premiere at the Old Dowlin Mill, 641 Sudderth Drive in Ruidoso Sept. 21 and 22 at 7 p.m., both days.

Directed by Mary Maxson, “You’re Family” is showing as part of the Bennett T rust Benefit Gala, along with a showing of an art collection belonging to the gala’s namesake, Betty Bennett, and per for mances by local musicians. At $45 a ticket, proceeds will benefit Eastern New Mexico University- Ruidoso and its students.

“I’m thrilled,” said Patrick in a phone interview. “There’s nothing like being honored in your own home turf.”

The semi-autobiographical play is about a hippie, Bud, who has been living in New York City and protesting for change for the past 30 years. The story takes place in 1990, when Bud goes to live with his sister, simply known as Sis, and her husband Bil, in the much smaller city of Flatwater, Calif.

What Bud finds is a setting that suggests that protesting for equality and personal freedoms have created a more divisive American society.

Bil’s favorite radio talk show host, “Bash Rambo,” explains away

the efforts of protesters by undermining who and what they are and their objectives. Bash Rambo instantaneously strikes fear in his listeners (of protesters, welfare recipients, and supposed Communists) while ensuring his listeners that everything is all right.

Bil, a veteran of the Vietnam and Cambodian conflicts, is a stand-in for the era’s fearful American. He is fearful of mail being stolen from his mailbox, of being sued, of the Pakistanis who have moved near his neighborhood. Bil is even afraid of flowers.

However, toward the end of the play, which is set amidst the American reaction to Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait, the true source of Bil’s fears begins to unravel.

Patrick, nee Bob O’Connor, grew up in a migrant farming family during the tail end of the Great Depression. His family moved wherever there was an awaiting harvest; between many Texas and Louisiana towns, then Roswell, Clovis, Hobbs and Niles, Calif. The family finally settled in Roswell in 1954.

Patrick graduated from Roswell High in 1955 and, with a hint of nostalgia and pride, recalls that that was the first year he had ever lived in the same place. However, the memory is also bittersweet for Patrick, who found it difficult to find his place in the community.

“Being gay was as difficult as being artistic,” he recalled. “It was very difficult to grow up in Roswell for me. ... I had to leave Roswell to be artistic and gay and political.”

After two and a half years at Easter n New Mexico University in Portales, where he studied theatre, Patrick left New Mexico for New York City in 1961. There, he became involved with the first Of f-Of f-Broadway theatre, the Caffe Cino, where Patrick discov-

ered—and fell in love with—playwriting.

The Caf fe Cino can boast of being the site of playwrights that have achieved wide success and been awarded, as Patrick described, as “every prize there is in the world.

“We brought theatre into the moder n era,” Patrick said. Patrick went on to write “The Haunted Host” in 1964. Notable actor and playwright Harvey Fierstein has played it three times. Patrick’s “Kennedy’s Children” played on five continents, on Broadway and on CBS Cable.

Patrick said “You’re Family” was written during 1991’s Operation Desert Storm—when the United States, with the support of the United Nations, waged war against Iraq following the latter’s invasion of Kuwait. No theatres were interested in the play, at least not right away, Patrick said.

“They were all afraid of it,” he said of the play.

But now, he said, he is proud to be able to return to his home turf and help Betty Bennett, whom he met when they were both students at ENMU. For now, Patrick plans to visit his alma mater— ENMU-Portales—to speak to theatre students on Sept. 24 at 11 a.m. at the school’s studio theatre.

Patrick also looks forward to hearing from people who might remember him.

“I’d love to hear from anyone who might remember me as Bob O’Connor,” he said.

T ickets for “You’re Family” can be purchased at ENMU-Ruidoso Community Education Office and at the Ruidoso Valley Chamber of Commerce, 720 Sudderth Drive. For more information about the production of “You’re Family,” call 575-2573012 or 257-7395. To get in contact with Robert Patrick, his email is Rbrtptrck@aol.com.

CHAUNTE’L POWELL RECORD STAFF WRITER

A few years ago, Armando Vazquez visited with his 98year -old grandmother for the first time in more than a decade. He recalls her sitting him down and telling him “Hijo, never forget what your dreams are. You chase your dreams long enough, you can turn them into reality.” Vazquez took these words to heart and is well on his way to making his own dreams come true.

Thursday, the 22-year old was recognized for receiving the Fluor Job Corps Scholarship. The Fluor Foundation awards a renewable $5,000 scholarship to one outstanding student at six Job Corps Centers. JoAnn Lopez, WBL/ACT coordinator at the center feels that Vazquez is more than deserving of the award, which totals $20,000.

“He’s an awesome kid,” she said. “He got into trade and in one month got his GED; he was head of the health occupation trade. ...

He’s just an awesome student and he really deserves it.”

He said he came to Job Corps to further his education and because he “didn’t want to be another statistic really.” It became apparent to him just how big the opportunity before him was and vowed not to squander it.

“They [Job Corps] gave me a big opportunity,” he said. “Most people when they first come here they don’t see the opportunity that they’re getting, they take it as like a joke. When I came I was fully focused. I wasn’t here to make

friends, I wasn’t here to have a good time, I was here to learn.”

While making friends was not on the agenda, he said he is thankful to have done so anyway. Vazquez said there were times when his morale was diminished, but thanks to his support system of staff and students at Job Corps, he was reminded of how much potential he had and encouraged to keep pushing forward.

Since moving to Roswell from Las Cruces, he’s gotten married and is expecting his first child. With a new family to support, his drive has intensified, but he still takes time to reflect on just how fortunate he is.

“When I came here it was all a dream, I assumed a lot of it was going to be impossible,” he said. “And I just kept going for it and going for it, and the next thing you know, everything just fell into place. It was like winning the lottery.”

Vazquez said he didn’t want his certification as nursing assistant to go to waste, but he wanted to take his interest and knowledge in health care to a job where he’ll be able to get his hands dirty and adrenaline pumping. For him, studying fire protection and prevention is the perfect way to do that. He’ll be taking his first year of classes at ENMU-R while working to become a licensed paramedic. He said after the birth of his child, he plans on transferring to a community college in Texas.

To those at Job Corps still trying to obtain their goals, he offers three simple words of advice. Go for it.

He feels that “it’s better to take the chance and have it not happen than to not take it and miss something that could’ve happened.”

The Fed’s latest actions came a week after the European Central Bank announced its most ambitious plan yet to ease Europe’s financial crisis by buying unlimited amounts of gover nment bonds to help countries manage their debts.

With less than eight weeks until Election Day, the economy remains the

top issue on most voters’ minds. Many Republicans have been critical of the Fed’s continued efforts to drive interest rates lower, saying they fear it could ignite inflation.

Asked at his news conference whether the Fed considered the impact of its actions on the presidential election, Bernanke said: “We make our decisions based entirely on the state

And an eclectic mix of rhythm and blues, reggae, salsa and country music from New Mexico Sound, headed by Sam Dunnahoo, who sings and plays guitar, filled the cold air.

Shop owners Patty and Dennis Johnson said they take part in the event every year. Why? “Because we live here,” Dennis said.

Patty chimed in, “And we want to support our community. It’s fun you get to see people you don’t usually see. It’s an opportunity to get out of the store and talk to people.”

The event provided a two-fold benefit to Molly

Boyles, owner of Once Again Consignment.

Boyles, holding a grocery bag filled with fresh produce, said, “As a shopper, I love the idea of being able to get fresh veggies. I don’t get up early on Saturday mor nings so the idea of coming to the farmers/gardeners market on Saturday ain’t happening.

As a shop owner, of course we love to have people come in and shop, and for a lot of people, it’s difficult for them to get in during the regular business hours, which in our case is until 6 o’clock. But when you’re open until 7

The municipal court judge also oversees the ongoings of the of fice and that includes their budget every year, and those things; he makes that recommendation,” Perry said. “So there are other things involved with his job other than just ruling from the bench.” He added that an individual, with a high school diploma or equivalent, who currently wants to run for municipal judge still has time to obtain an associate degree

prior to the election.

Councilor Barry Foster urged the councilors to place more faith in the city’s voters. “Any time we limit who can run for an office we’re saying that the voters of Roswell aren’t smart enough to pick the most qualified person that’s running,” he said. “This is a lower court than magistrate, why would we have more stringent requirements for them than for our magistrate judge?”

Councilor Art Sandoval, the originator of the proposal to modify the qualifications, explained his decision, after being asked by Councilor Savino Sanchez, reasoning, “I have been approached by members of the community, for exam-

protest by Libyan civilians to mask their action.

Killed in the attack were U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, information management officer Sean Smith, private security guard Glen Doherty and one other American who has yet to be identified.

El-Sharef said four people were arrested at their homes Thursday, but he refused to give any fur-

ther details. He said it was too early to say if the suspects belonged to a particular group or what their motive was. Libya’s new prime minister, Mustafa Abu-Shakour, said authorities were looking for more suspects.

One of five private security guards at the consulate said the surprise attack began around 9:30 p.m. when several grenades that were lobbed

OPINION

Gary Johnson fights for ballot access around the nation

SANTA FE — Who knew it ever would be so difficult for Gary Johnson to run for president as a third party candidate? New Mexico’s for mer gover nor left the Republican Party many months ago to look for friendlier company in the Libertarian Party.

The Libertarians greeted him with open arms and chose him as their presidential candidate. One of the strengths of the Libertarian Party over other minor parties was that the party was on the ballot in all 50 states.

But it wasn’t quite as advertised. All states make it difficult for minor parties to gain ballot access. About 10 states make it hard enough that Libertarians in those states hadn’t gotten on the ballot yet when Johnson became the nominee.

So Johnson has spent considerable time in those states jumping through their hoops. The state GOP in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Oklahoma and Ohio is

in court working to keep Johnson off the ballot.

Meanwhile supporters of Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who was shut out of being placed in nomination at the Republican National Convention, have split into two camps — one wanting to throw its support to Johnson and the other wanting to remain true to Paul even though he won’t be on any ballot.

Check out the Internet and see that it has developed into quite a battle with some calling Johnson too extreme and others saying Paul should face reality and throw his support to Johnson.

Some on both sides call it a war. It hardly leaves Johnson

time to campaign although he has picked up some ardent supporters from the group that has left Ron Paul.

Neither Democrats nor Republicans like third parties. Both do everything they can to keep other candidates off the ballot. Former President George H.W. Bush says Ross Perot kept him from a second term in 1992. Al Gore thinks Ralph Nader kept him from winning Florida in 2000.

Johnson says he is taking about equally from both sides.

He says polling shows him taking a little more from Democrats in New Mexico and a little more from Republicans in Virginia.

Ron Paul managed to get delegate votes in Nevada, Minnesota, Maine, Iowa, Oregon, Alaska and the Virgin Islands. GOP convention rules require a petition signed by delegates from five states in order to be nominated from the floor. Rep. Paul’s petition was signed by delegates

from seven states so the rules were quickly changed to require eight states.

It was after that happened that many Paul supporters headed toward Johnson, who was in the vicinity of the convention auditorium speaking with reporters.

The experts are split on what sort of a chance Johnson has.

Polling shows that nearly all Americans already have made up their mind on their presidential choice. President Barack Obama, Gov. Mitt Romney and Johnson are fighting over the sliver of voters that are left.

But Paul and Johnson supporters point to another survey revealing that only 16 percent of voters say they will be voting for someone they really like. They see the other 84 percent of voters still being in play if they can just get the message out.

Currently Johnson is working at raising $1 million on his website to make television commer-

cials. That won’t go far but Johnson isn’t as flush as he was when he ran for governor.

Ron Paul does a magnificent job raising money through the Internet but he has a lengthy mailing list of names. He has been unwilling to share the list with anyone except probably his son, Sen. Rand Paul of Tennessee.

In late breaking news, Michigan has denied ballot access to Johnson because he originally ran for president as a Republican. Michigan has a “sore loser” law, which says a candidate cannot switch parties after losing a race for nomination.

But did Johnson actually lose the GOP nomination? The Michigan Libertarian Party will take that question to court for Johnson.

National Opinion Government’s credit rating

In case anyone had forgotten, Moody’s Investors Service issued a stark reminder Sept. 11 that the federal government is speeding headlong toward a political and financial cliff. On Jan. 1, a number of temporary tax cuts are due to expire just as new spending restraints kick in, pulling hundreds of billions of dollars out of the U.S. economy and potentially triggering another recession. At the same time, Washington is expected to reach the limit of its borrowing authority, necessitating another increase in its debt limit. If lawmakers and the White House can’t reach a budget deal that effectively manages those problems, Moody’s said, it expects to downgrade the federal government’s credit rating.

That might seem unduly pessimistic if so many congressional Republicans hadn’t called for the government to stiff its creditors last year instead of raising the debt ceiling. One of the three major ratings agencies, Standard & Poor’s, downgraded U.S. debt after that acrimonious episode; now, Moody’s is threatening to do so as well.

The message from the analysts at Moody’s and S&P is that lawmakers can’t keep putting off the day of reckoning.

Moody’s set a reasonable condition for avoiding a downgrade: adopting policies that stabilize, then reduce the debt as a percentage of the U.S. economy over the next several years.

It means bringing the two polarized and recalcitrant sides together in a compromise, something Washington’s current occupants have been singularly unable to do. They’re running out of time to learn how.

Guest Editorial Los Angeles Times

Keystone XL pipeline

When the Trans-Alaska pipeline was first proposed in 1970 the environmental movement launched an all-out effort to stop it based on claims that the heated oil would destroy the permafrost, earthquakes would rupture the pipeline, massive oil leaks would permanently scar the tundra, contaminate the hundreds of pristine streams and rivers in the path of the pipeline and halt the annual migration of the Porcupine caribou herd.

None of those prophecies came to pass.

The Trans-Alaska pipeline stands as the most economically successful, socially beneficial, and environmentally-sound energy development venture ever undertaken by our nation.

Our energy revolution can be a unifying force for the nation. We can be good stewards of the Earth while relying on our own vast reserves of natural resources. We are building energy efficient engines and power plants. We are developing clean and alternative energy solutions while becoming better energy consumers and conservers.

Wind, solar, biomass, nuclear, coal, natural gas and hydro all have a place in the future.

The only thing holding our great nation back is political paralysis.

President Barack Obama made promises to labor and to the environmental movement. He can’t keep both. His green jobs promise cannot be fulfilled in a weak economy. Many thousands of union and nonunion jobs have not materialized due to energy policy gridlock.

The Keystone XL pipeline is as important to the growth of U.S. jobs and energy selfsufficiency today as the T rans-Alaska pipeline was more than 40 years ago.

Obama signed off on the southern link of the Keystone XL pipeline project and it is now under construction. The routing issue of the pipeline in Nebraska has been resolved. There is too much at stake for this shovel-ready project to languish any longer.

Supreme Court hangs in the balance I believe freedom is worth fighting for. I am committed to protecting the freedoms our forefathers guaranteed to us in our Constitution. There are many politicians who disagree with me, although they are loath to admit it, but their true colors show in voting records on critical legislation.

And part of what makes America great is that every two years, we, too, cast our votes, rendering judgment on whether lawmakers have fulfilled their promises. And every four years, as in 2012, our opportunity extends to the highest office in the land.

DEAR DOCTOR K: What is carbon monoxide? And why do I need carbon monoxide monitors in my house?

DEAR READER: Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, colorless, odorless gas. It sounds harmless, but breathing it in can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be fatal. Because you can’t see, smell or taste carbon monoxide, it can kill you without warning — that is, unless you have carbon monoxide monitors to warn you of the danger.

You might be surprised how many sources in your house can release

carbon monoxide. These include cars, small gasoline engines (such as lawnmowers), stoves, fur naces, gas ranges, water heaters and clothes dryers. The risk of poisoning is especially high in enclosed spaces with poor ventilation.

Wrong. There’s a stor m brewing on the horizon. Those who want to restrict our freedom have not surrendered. In truth, they are counting on this election to make their move.

Today is Friday, Sept. 14, the 258th day of 2012. There are 108 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight On Sept. 14, 1814, Francis Scott Key was moved to write a poem after witnessing how an American flag flying over Maryland’s Fort McHenry withstood a night of British bombardment during the War of 1812; the poem, “Defense of Fort McHenry,” later became the words to “The StarSpangled Banner.”

On this date In 1712, Italian-born French astronomer Gian Domenico Cassini, discoverer of four of Saturn’s moons, died in Paris.

In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte’s troops entered Moscow following the Battle of Borodino to find the Russian city largely abandoned and parts set ablaze.

In 1829, the Treaty of Adrianople was signed, ending war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire.

In 1861, the first naval engagement of the Civil War took place as the USS Colorado attacked and sank the Confederate private schooner Judah off Pensacola, Fla. In 1901, President William McKinley died in Buffalo, N.Y., of gunshot wounds inflicted by an assassin. Vice President Theodore Roosevelt succeeded him.

In 1927, modern dance pioneer Isadora Duncan died in Nice (nees), France, when her scarf became entangled in a wheel of the sports car she was riding in.

In 1941, Vermont passed a resolution enabling its servicemen to receive wartime bonuses by declaring the U.S. to be in a state of armed conflict, giving rise to headlines that Vermont had “declared war on Germany.”

In 1964, Pope Paul VI opened the third session of the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, also known as “Vatican II.” (The session closed two months later.)

The Heller and McDonald decisions were decided by razor-thin 5-4 votes in the Supreme Court. Those who want to overturn these decisions are betting on at least one of the nine Supreme Court justices to retire or otherwise leave service during the next four years. Some pundits have suggested that the number of Supreme Court vacancies filled by the next president could be as many as three.

Like all Supreme Court decisions, Heller and McDonald are not set in stone. If the balance on the court is shifted, a new challenge quickly can be mounted in the lower federal courts, eventually making it to the Supreme Court. Our freedoms hang in the balance by the thin gossamer thread of a single vote. If that vote turns, the victories we worked so hard to solidify could be reversed.

The threat is present not only at the Supreme Court but also throughout our federal judiciary. Right now, dozens of cases already are winding their way through federal courts to implement the Supreme Court’s rulings in Heller and McDonald. Those rulings were somewhat general in tone, and now their specific impact on existing gun laws is being defined through these cases.

The president also nominates judges for all levels of the federal bench. That is why we need to make sure we have a president whose nominees for any court — including the Supreme Court — will support the original meaning of our Constitution.

Without enough oxygen, cells suffocate.

If you’re exposed to just low levels of carbon monoxide, you may feel tired and achy and have impaired memory and concentration, shortness of breath, dizziness or fatigue. If you breathe in high levels of carbon monoxide and don’t get immediate treatment, you could lose consciousness and die. Even if you recover, there’s a risk of long-term brain damage.

To reduce your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, first and foremost install carbon monoxide detectors in your home. Put them in hallways near bedrooms and in garages attached to living areas. You should also: — Open the flue when you use a fire-

Harold Franks

Funeral services are scheduled for 2 p.m., Friday, Sept. 14, 2012, at LaGrone Funeral Chapel for Harold Franks, 102, who passed away on Sept.

7, 2012. Interment will follow services at South Park Cemetery.

Harold Houston Franks was born Nov. 3, 1909, in Taylor, Ark., to William Thomas Franks and Drucilla Talley Franks. Harold spent a lot of his growingup years in Sawyer, Okla.

After his father died, the family moved to Sulpher Springs, Texas, and later

NATION/OBITUARIES/RECORDS on to Portales.

In the 1930s, Harold joined the CCCs (Civilian Conservation Corps), where he became a mess sergeant, managing food service for the camp. He worked in camps located in the Sandia and Sacramento mountains of New Mexico.

After leaving the CCCs in 1937, he went to work in Roswell for Clardy’s Dairy as a delivery man. In Roswell he attended a dance where he met his future wife. He and Dorothy Phillips were married on May 28, 1939, in Roswell. They were married for 66 years before Dorothy’s death in February 2006.

In the 1940s, he was given a deferment during WWII. He worked at the Roswell Army Airfield (later Walker Air Force Base) making wooden test parts for the development of bombs and airplanes. He was trained in blueprint reading, then used those skills to create wooden samples from blueprints sent by the Army. He also

repaired the wooden airplane trainers. This is where he learned his lifetime trade and became a sought-after finish carpenter.

While working in construction, he was employed

by Burkstaller Construction and Brackeen Construction. He also worked at Hettinga Brothers lumber yard and later at Pecos Valley Houston Home Center. He did not fully retire until age 78.

He had been a member of the First Baptist Church in Roswell since the early 1940s. He joined the BPOE Elks Lodge #969 in 1947, had held offices and was a life member.

Harold was a very jovial person, often smiling and laughing. He enjoyed music, dancing, and going to the mountains for picnics. He loved to sing his old songs.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife Dorothy; by his brothers Thomas (Buddy), Johnny, N.B., William, and twins Roy & Joy; by his sisters

Ida King and Vera Minor.

Harold is survived by one son, Philip Edward Franks and his wife Fritzi, of Gladwyne, Pa.; two daughters, Linda Caren Britton and her husband Dale, of Peabody, Kan., and Debra Ellen Franks, of Roswell.

He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, including one nephew named for him, Donald Houston Franks and his wife Bobbie, of Ft. Sumner.

He had five grandchildren: Jason Franks and his wife Tracy, of Chappaqua, N.Y.; Jennifer Franks Baker and her husband Chuck, of Malvern, Pa.; Janet Ledbetter, of Newton, Kan.; Cheri Britton Hopson and her husband Darren, of Strong City, Kan.; Paul Britton and his wife Kerry, of Halstead, Kan. Additional family includes four step-grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and nine greatgreat-grandchildren.

New Yorkers, a famously disputatious bunch. Barring any court action, the measure will take effect in March.

The regulations, approved easily by the city Board of Health, apply to any establishment with a food-service license, including fast-food places, delis, movie and Broadway theaters, the concession stands at Yankee Stadium and the pizzerias of Little Italy. They will be barred from serving sugary beverages in cups or bottles larger than 16 ounces.

No other U.S. city has gone so far as to restrict portion sizes at restaurants to fight weight gain.

“We cannot continue to have our kids come down with diabetes at age 6,” said Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

The mayor rejected suggestions that the rule constitutes an assault on personal liberty. “Nobody is banning anything,” he said, noting that restaurant customers can still buy as much soda as they

want, as long as they are willing to carry it in multiple containers.

Others, though, likened the ban to Prohibition. A New York Times poll last month showed that six in 10 New Yorkers opposed the restrictions.

“It’s a slippery slope.

When does it stop? What comes next?” said Sebastian Lopez, a college student from Queens. He added: “This is my life. I should be able to do what I want.”

The restrictions do not apply to supermarkets or most convenience stores, because such establishments are not subject to Board of Health regulation. And there are exceptions for beverages made mostly of milk or unsweetened fruit juice.

The regulations follow other ambitious health moves on Bloomberg’s watch, many of which were attacked as a push toward a “nanny state.”

The Board of Health approved the big-soda ban 8-0, with one member, Dr.

restaurant inspectors. Violations will carry a $200 fine.

Complying might prove complicated for some establishments.

Starbucks is trying to figure out whether the regulations bar it from selling its calorie-packed Frappuccinos in the 24-ounce size.

Another issue could be iced coffee, which many cafes sweeten with liquefied sugar. Customers might have to add the sweetener themselves.

Fast-food restaurants with self-serve soda fountains will be prohibited from giving out cups larger than 16 ounces, but people will still be allowed refills.

Manhattan pizza shop owner Vinnie Siena said halting sales of large sodas will hurt his already thin profit margin, unless he raises prices.

“I’m having a tough time as it is. They don’t want the little guy to survive, it seems,” he said.

Roswell girls top Portales, 2-0 Section

Roswell Daily Record

JAKE FINK RECORD SPORTS INTERN

Sometimes the score of the game does not reflect the true outcome.

The Roswell High girls soccer team took on the Portales Rams, in what people who did not attend the game would think was just a 2-0 win for the Coyotes.

In all actuality, the Coyotes were much better than the Rams on Thursday.

The first half of the game

E-mail: sports@rdrnews.com

started off slow for both teams.

Possession was being exchanged back and forth, and Coyote coach Samantha Ward claimed that her team was playing “kick ball” in the first half.

Although it was a slow start for both teams, the Rams made the first real progress when Damari Jimenez shot the ball, which ricocheted off the left post out of bounds.

That sparked a sense of urgency in the Coyote girls.

Roswell’s Cynthia Armenta, left, battles for a loose ball with a Portales defender during their match, Thursday.

Roswell’s Stephanie Robertson scores a goal in the first half of the Coyotes’ 2-0 win over Portales, Thursday.

Roswell momentarily picked up the pace driving down the pitch, getting a shot on goal from MaryRuth Gedde, but the Portales keeper, Yesenia Ramirez, made the save punching the ball out of bounds for a Coyote corner kick.

Jesse Jennings played in a great ball, but Fuchsia Sharp was unable to direct her header on goal.

Portales then created multiple opportunities in the 32nd and 35th minutes when captain Alma Gonzalez had two open looks at the goal, but Roswell keep-

er Izzy Cain made two great saves.

On the second save, Cain was injured and had to be taken off the field. Backup keeper Mariana Flores came in and did a great job keeping a clean sheet.

As the first half was coming to a close, the Coyotes showed great skill passing between each other down the pitch.

Victoria Meraz made a beautiful run down-field dribbling through defenders, and as she entered the Ram box she played a gorgeous through ball to Stephanie Robertson who

tapped it in for the first goal of the game.

It seemed as if the Coyotes might tack on another goal or two before the half ended, but Ramirez did not allow that.

Meraz once again made a great run down-field and this time set up teammate Lrissa Cobos with a through ball. Cobos took a nice shot on goal, but Ramirez made the save.

The first half closed with Portales trying to salvage a goal. Flores charged to the front of the box in an effort

everything the Thunderbirds bring to the table presented a unique challenge for Forchtner and his Black Swarm defense.

“It’s more difficult in a way, but, when somebody is doing a thousand things, you can’t try to do a thousand things on defense,” he said. “We’re going to do about four things and they’re going to do about a hundred.

“When somebody makes it more complex on offense, then we have to really, really simplify it on defense.”

There are a few constants with Mesa’s of fensive attack — quarterback Blake Kemp, running back Carlton Williams and wide receiver T ristan McClelland.

Kemp, a 6-foot-2, 216pound freshman, has

thrown for 317 yards and four touchdowns this season. He’s also the team’s second-leading rusher with 35 yards on 17 carries.

Williams, a 5-9, 213pound freshman, is the team’s leading rusher with 233 yards and one touchdown on 44 carries.

McClelland, a 6-5, 230pound sophomore, is the top receiving target for

Kemp with 169 yards and three TDs on 12 grabs.

After those three, the Thunderbirds’ personnel grouping features five other running backs and seven other wide receivers.

On the defensive side, Mesa is blitz-happy and ultra aggressive.

“They’re very aggressive and they blitz a lot, from everywhere on the field,”

said Forchtner, whose team is off to a 2-1 start after last week’s win over Cisco.

“That’s about it; they’re aggressive, they’re multiple and they’re all over the place.”

All of those question marks surrounding what Mesa does brings Forchtner

NMMI ready for multiple Thunderbirds KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

Among the first few things football coaches look for when breaking down game film of their opponent are key personnel and tendencies.

That was almost impossible for NMMI Bronco coach Joe Forchtner when he broke down game film on this week’s opponent, the Mesa Thunderbirds.

“They’re as multiple as multiple gets,” Forchtner said about the Thunderbirds. “They use the same people and they put them all over the field.

“You really can’t get anything, personnel-wise. They do a lot of stuff, so we’ve had to prepare for a lot of stuff so far this week.”

Packers down Bears, 23-10 Local Briefs

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers rattled and robbed Jay Cutler and backup tight end Tom Crabtree scored on a fake field goal in the second quarter of a 23-10 victory over Chicago, Thursday.

The Packers (1-1) intercepted four Cutler passes, including a pair by Tramon Williams. Facing a fierce pass rush all night, Cutler was sacked seven times, including 3 1/2 for Clay Matthews.

After Williams collected his second interception, Aaron Rodgers finally found the end zone in the fourth quarter, hitting Donald Driver for a 26-yard touchdown pass and a 23-3 lead.

FORT SUMNER — Dexter beat Melrose 3-0 in its first bracket match of the day at the Vixen Classic on Thursday.

Dexter beat Melrose 25-20 in the first set, 25-21 in the second set and 25-18 in the third set.

During pool play the Demons (4-0) beat Santa Rosa (1215, 15-10), Mountainair (15-13, 15-11) and Logan (15-8, 13-15).

Dexter coach Andy Luikens said that his team started slow but finished strong.

“It was kind of an up and down day. In pool play we got off to a slow start,” he said. “We lost the first set (against Melrose) and then fell behind 9-1 in the second set, but beat them 15-10. I didn’t feel like we played solid for one whole set.

“Against Melrose we had pretty good ball control. They See BRIEFS, Page B2

Vega beat Flores to the spot, and put the ball past the keeper, but the Coyotes’ Briana Baeza made a goal line clearance, taking the Coyotes out of danger to end the half.

The Roswell girls came out in the second half as a new team.

Meraz saw two open shot opportunities in the 42nd minute, but just could not convert.

In the 44th minute, however, the Coyotes put their second goal of the game on the board when Gedde delivered a through ball to Cobos, who made a clinical finish into the top left corner of the goal.

Portales did not see many opportunities, but when they did it was shut down by Flores.

When asked about why the performance of the Coyote girls was so much better in the second half in comparison to the first, Ward said, “At halftime we talked about how we were just playing kick ball, and we have been working on that for the past two weeks.

UConn’s Jim Calhoun retires SPORTS

Roswell Daily Record

STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Jim Calhoun retired as Connecticut’s basketball coach Thursday, closing a 26-year career at the school with three national titles, an upcoming NCAA tour nament ban and no apologies.

“I never, ever, ever said that I was mistake free,” Calhoun said. “But I always tried to do the right thing.”

The retirement of the 70year-old Hall of Famer was announced on the court in Storrs where Calhoun racked up many of his 873 total wins. He thanked everyone associated with the Huskies program — administrators, players, fans and his family — for his team’s success, and played down both his health problems and troubles with the NCAA. “There have been some bumps in the road but we are headed in the right direction,” he said.

Calhoun will take a transition appointment through next spring as a special assistant to athletic director Warde Manuel. When fully retired, he will become head coach emeritus.

Calhoun has been slowed repeatedly by illness and accidents in recent years, including a fractured hip last month. He said the hip injury didn’t cause him to retire, but gave him time to reflect on whether this would be a good time to leave.

“As I looked at everything. So many things are in place for us to even go farther that we have already,” he said. “So I thought it was an excellent time.”

Assistant coach Kevin Ollie, who played point guard for Calhoun from 1991-95, will be the Huskies’ new coach. His

contract runs through next April 4 and he will be paid $625,000.

He takes over a team that returns only five players who saw significant playing time a year ago and failed to qualify academically for the 2013 NCAA tour nament.

“I am very honored and humbled to become the UConn men’s basketball coach,” said Ollie. “I cannot put into words how grateful I am to coach Jim Calhoun, who retires today as one of the most legendary coaches in the history of college basketball. Coach Calhoun brought me here to Connecticut as a person right out of high school and has mentored me into the person I have become today.”

Despite the school’s problems and uncertain future, Calhoun — who coached UConn’s latest title winners just last year — got a heartfelt send off.

“This is a day of sorrow, celebration and admiration,” Connecticut President Susan Herbst said.

Players echoed the sentiment.

“Coach Calhoun is a great coach, one of the greatest ever in college basketball, and it was an honor to play for him,” said sophomore forward DeAndre Daniels. “I think everybody’s still in shock right now and just don’t really believe it.”

Ollie is one of more than two dozen players whom Calhoun sent to the NBA, a list includes everyone from Reggie Lewis at Northeastern, to Cliff Robinson, Ben Gordon, Emeka Okafor, Rudy Gay and Kemba Walker.

Associate head coach George Blaney plans to stay on and help Ollie.

“No one ever thought that

IRVING, Texas (AP) — The spoils of playing quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys are plentiful. It is an iconic sports position, one that has featured Hall of Famers Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman. Do well and fame and fortune are sure to follow.

Tony Romo will tell you it’s an honor to be mentioned in the same sentence with legends such as Staubach and Aikman. And even though there is pressure being compared with players who combined to win five Super Bowls, Kyle Orton said the upside is far greater. ““When you follow those guys, it’s great,” said Orton, the Cowboys’ backup quarterback. “You’re always excited when you get to play the same position as some great players have played.

So is it pressure, or fun?

“A little of both, to be honest with you,” said Orton, who should know.

He played two years in Den-

ver, where quarterbacks are often reminded they are not John Elway. “But Tony’s such a high-level quarterback that he’s capable of living up to those expectations.”

Romo is poised to make significant movement in the Cowboys record book. He currently ranks fourth in Dallas history with 152 touchdown passes, but that is only one behind Staubach’s 153 and three behind the 155 by Danny White.

Romo could pass both players with four TDs against Seattle on Sunday.

Aikman currently leads the team with 165 TD passes.

The fewest Romo has had in any full season he played was 26. He had 31 last year. Right now, he’s only 13 behind.

Orton said that is not the type of achievement that any quarterback celebrates - at least during the season.

“Any quarterback worth their salt is focused on offensive goals, team goals

Connecticut head coach Jim Calhoun, left, gestures as Kevin Ollie looks on during a news conference announcing Calhoun's retirement, Thursday.

UConn could become a national power, one of the top-five programs in the nation,” Blaney said. “Now you look at what this school has become, the type of students that they have, the buildings, even the image of the state, so much of that is attributable to the success of his basketball program.”

Calhoun was hired by UConn in May 1986, after spending 14 years at Northeaster n where he transformed the team from Division II program to a mid-major power with five appearances in the NCAA tournament.

He won an NIT title in his second season. His teams won 10 Big East regular -

season championships and seven Big East Tournament titles.

“The thing that stands out to me is it’s one thing to take over a Duke or a Kentucky and build it and win games and win championships,” said Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, who went into the Hall of Fame with Calhoun in 2005. “But 26 years ago Connecticut wasn’t even thought of in the college basketball world. He’s turned them into one of the top programs in the country. I think it’s really, to me, the greatest building job that anybody’s ever done.”

In 1999, Calhoun coached the Huskies to a 34-2 record and their first

NCAA championship, a 7774 upset over Duke.

In 2004, the Huskies started and ended the season at No. 1, beating Georgia Tech in the NCAA championship game 82-73.

A year later, Calhoun was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

In 2011, UConn finished the regular season in ninth place in the Big East before reeling off a remarkable 11game run in the postseason, including a 53-41 victory over Butler in the national championship game.

Calhoun’s only loss in the Final Four came in 2009 to Michigan State in the national semifinals. The

coach missed the Huskies’ first NCAA tour nament game that season after being hospitalized for dehydration.

It was one of a number of health problems that plagued the coach in recent years.

Before fracturing his hip in August, Calhoun fought off cancer three times and missed eight games last season because of a painful spinal condition. He retur ned just four days after having back surgery to coach the Huskies in their regular-season finale and the postseason.

UConn finished the year 20-14, losing to Iowa State in the first-round of the NCAA tournament.

and not really individual goals,” Orton said. “I’m sure he doesn’t even know that he’s close to them. All that stuff is stuff you look back on at the end of your career and think about how great it is. But while you’re doing it, you’re just trying to win games.”

While statistics aren’t the final determinant of greatness, they do indicate productiveness. Any Romo has been far more efficient than his predecessors.

Romo has played in only 84 games for Dallas while Aikman played in 165 and Staubach played in 131.

White played in 166.

As he is constantly reminded in Dallas, however, Romo has only one playoff victory since winning the starting quarterback job six games into the 2006 season.

Aikman won three Super Bowls. Staubach won two.

And unless Romo gets a title of his own, he likely will be thought of in much the same way as Danny White, who led Dallas to three consecutive NFC championship games. The Cowboys lost all three.

Aikman said during the offseason that Romo was a better quarterback than him. And Staubach said he didn’t understand it when Romo is criticized.

“Anytime you have some of the all-time greats of the game say anything good about you, it’s rewarding,” Romo said. “You look up to them and you know how talented they are, so the respect that I give them is at a 10 from 1 to 10. That’s always something that is a great feeling.”

When he eventually passes Staubach and Aikman and becomes the Cowboys’ all-time leader in TD passes, Romo will undoubtedly enjoy a great feeling. But not a super one.

“Every season when you don’t win a Super Bowl,” he said, “it’s not a good feeling.”

he and Elway know better ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton Manning looked as though nothing had changed after sitting out last season because of a neck injury. Don’t be fooled, though, says the Broncos quarterback — plenty is different.

And not just the horse on his helmet.

Manning insists he’s still searching for a comfort zone in Denver and figures his transition after 14 seasons in Indianapolis will take all season. Same with his rehab from the nerve injury that caused weakness in his throwing arm and forced him to miss last season.

Broncos boss John Elway agrees, telling The Associated Press that Manning’s arm strength is “probably not where he wants it to be. I don’t know if it’ll ever be where he wants it to be, but to me, it’s plenty adequate right now.”

Teammates, opponents, even his former coach, NBC analyst Tony Dungy, who was on hand to chronicle his Denver debut, agreed that Manning hadn’t missed a beat.

Appearances can be deceiving, though.

Just last week, Manning said, “I have some things that I deal with myself, but I kind of keep that between me and the trainer.”

Manning’s game, this new offense, his timing with his targets, even his health, are all works in progress, Elway told the AP in an interview Thursday.

“There’s going to be adjustments week in and week out,” Elway said. “He knew those guys in Indy, those receivers, he had them forever and so it will be a work in progress, to me, as long as Peyton’s here, because he’s going to change things and there’s going to be new things all the time.

“And especially with his rehab and continuing to work because I don’t know if he’s where he wants to be. It doesn’t sound like it is. But I’m not sure if he’ll ever get to where he wants to be unless he wins two Super Bowls and he’ll say, ‘I’m where I want to be.”’

Elway is betting Manning gets to hoist that second Vince Lombardi trophy.

The quarterback’s work ethic is “what gave us confidence that he was going to be able to come back and be as close to the Peyton he was of old,” said Elway, who spoke to AP while promoting the Dove Men+Care “Journey to Comfort” campaign. “The question was: How fast? And he’s made tremendous strides from the time we saw him in March until now. He’s just kept getting better and better. Plus, he worked his tail off, and we saw it in train-

ing camp. He had a good training camp.

The arm’s getting stronger all the time, too.”

Manning never has been known for throwing frozen ropes like Brett Favre.

“No, he’s always been the cerebral guy, and it’s the way he plays the game and takes advantage of everything on the cerebral side,” Elway said. “And I think the mind never goes backward, unless it gets hit and knocked out or something like that. But that’s why it’s just a matter of physically if he could get caught back up.

“A lot of it’s like riding a bike for him and plus putting in new, different things that he can do because he loves the mental side and the mental warfare that goes on with the game, as we saw last week when he stood there and stared at Troy Polamalu for 20 seconds down in the red zone. So, he loves the mental warfare that goes on and he’ll just continue to get better with that.”

Elway said he’s having a ball watching No. 18.

“He’s already in the Hall of Fame. He’s one of the best quarterbacks to play the game now and so he’s just trying to add to that legacy,” Elway said. “Plus, he raises everybody around him because they know that he gives us a chance to compete every time we go into a ballgame. And that’s huge for a team, to have that hope. That’s what gets everybody fired up and ready to play week in and week out, to know that you can win that game.”

Elway said the biggest barrier in Manning’s transition is learning a second language at age 36 — the new terminology he had to absorb as the Broncos blended their old power formations with some of the spread formations he ran in Indianapolis.

After a solid preseason, Manning looked as sharp as ever in his Denver debut, completing 73 percent of his passes and posting an AFC-best 129.2 passer rating in a 31-19 win over Pittsburgh last weekend.

“Gosh, like he hadn’t missed a beat,” was how Atlanta coach Mike Smith described it. “He was very efficient, looked like the Peyton Manning that I watched two years ago when he was playing.

“I thought he had a very good command of the offense, threw the ball extremely well, had some throws off to the wide side of the field that looked like the old Peyton,” added Smith, whose Falcons (1-0) host the Broncos (1-0) Monday night.

Average rate on 30-year fixed US Oil rises after mortgage holds steady at 3.55 pct. Fed takes steps Roswell Daily Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — The average rate on the 30year fixed mortgage held steady this week, staying slightly above the lowest level on record. Low mortgage rates have aided a modest housing recovery.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on the 30-year loan was unchanged at 3.55 percent. In July, the rate fell to 3.49 percent, the lowest since long-ter m mortgages began in the 1950s.

The average on the 15year fixed mortgage, a popular refinancing option, slipped to 2.85 percent, down from 2.86 percent last week. That’s above the record low of 2.80 percent.

Cheap mortgages have helped lift the housing market. Sales of new and previously occupied homes are well above last year’s levels. Low rates have also allowed people to refinance, which lowers monthly mortgage payments and helps boosts consumer spending.

Home prices are increas-

ing more consistently this year, largely because the supply of homes has shrunk while sales have risen. And the number of Americans who owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth declined in the second quarter.

Still, the housing market has a long way back. Home sales are below healthy lev-

els. And many people are still having difficulty qualifying for home loans or can’t afford larger down payments required by banks.

Mortgage rates are low because they tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. A weaker U.S. economy and uncertainty about how Europe will resolve its debt crisis

have led investors to buy more Treasury securities, which are considered safe investments. As demand for Treasurys increase, the yield falls.

To calculate average rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday of each week.

The average does not include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.

The average fee for 30year loans was 0.6 point, down from 0.7 point last week. The fee for 15-year loans was changed at 0.6.

The average rate on oneyear adjustable rate mortgages was steady at 2.61 percent. The fee for oneyear adjustable rate loans also was unchanged, at 0.4 point.

The average rate on fiveyear adjustable rate mortgages fell to 2.72 percent from 2.75 percent. The fee declined to 0.6 point from 0.7.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke arrives at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, Friday, Aug. 31, at Grand Teton National Park near Jackson Hole, Wyo.

NEW YORK (AP) — The price of oil rose after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced steps to boost a U.S. economy it says is too weak to reduce high unemployment.

The Fed will spend $40 billion a month to buy mortgaged-back securities. The purchases are intended to lower longter m interest rates to spur borrowing and spending. The Fed also extended a plan to keep short-term interest rates at record-low levels through mid-2015.

Benchmark crude fluctuated after the Fed’s decision, before rising above $98. It was up 79 cents to $97.80 at 1:15 p.m. EDT. Expectations of action by the Fed, as well as the European Central Bank and China’s government, has kept oil in a narrow range the past few weeks, balancing gloomy economic news. All three have now delivered.

Traders on Thursday also kept a close eye on unrest in the Middle East.

Led by Southwest, major airlines raise some fares by $10 each way to cover costs

DALLAS (AP) — Led by Southwest Airlines, several airlines are raising prices again.

Southwest raised fares Wednesday by $10 per round trip on about 10 percent of its routes. United Airlines expanded the increase later in the day to cover most of its U.S. flights.

“We raised fares to cover the increasing cost of doing business,” United spokeswoman Megan McCarthy said Thursday.

American Airlines said that it matched the higher prices on some routes, JetBlue Airways said it matched Southwest’s increase, and

Virgin America eventually matched the broader United increase. Other airlines didn’t immediately return messages for comment.

There have been four broad fare increases by U.S. airlines this year, about half as many as last year, and none in about a month. A Delta-led attempt to raise prices failed last week, a sign that airlines could be worried about filling seats in a sluggish economy.

J.P. Morgan analyst Jamie Baker, who tracks airfares, said there was “a somewhat higher probability” that the latest Southwest-United increase will

Southwest carries more passengers than any airline within the U.S., and fare increases often stick or fail depending on whether Southwest goes along. Baker said United might have been emboldened to raise prices broadly by the more limited Southwest increase.

While airlines raise fares, they also constantly run sales that undercut the impact of higher base prices.

Brent crude, used to price international varieties of oil, rose 37 cents to $115.70 per barrel.

Meanwhile, the average price for a gallon of gas in the U.S. rose to $3.87, the highest since April 21. Refiners have run short on supplies of summer blends of gas, particularly in the Northeast. They’re allowed to start selling cheaper winter blends this weekend.

Natural gas dropped below $3 after the Energy Department said supplies rose last week.

Natural gas in storage increased by 27 billion cubic feet to 3.429 trillion cubic feet for the week that ended Sept. 7.

The supply is 11.1 percent more than the yearago level of 3.087 trillion cubic feet and 9 percent more than the five-year average of 3.145 trillion cubic feet.

Natural gas is down 7 cents to $2.99 per 1,000 cubic feet.
