The Afterschool Alli- ance's America After 3 p.m. study ranked Califor- nia as the top state with an afterschool program. About one in every four California schoolchildren is in an afterschool pro- gram. Still Afterschool Alli- ance found that half of the children not enrolled in an afterschool program in California would, if a program was available to them. SERRF used Thursday's celebration to continue it's yearlong Rachel's Chal- lenge project with stu- dents. At each of the sites stu- dents could take a pledge to attempt the Rachel's Challenge goals using kind words and doing kind things, accepting and in- cluding others, choosing positive influences, set- ting goals and keeping a journal. The students began making "links of kind- ness" a paper chain that includes a link for every act of kindness a student does from now until the end of the challenge. Stroman said the idea is for the SERRF students to take the culture of kind- ness and compassion and spread it to their class- mates, family and eventu- ally the community. Using the challenge of setting goals, SERRF site administrators were able to tie in one to the ongo- ing No Excuses University program. Students were asked Thursday to set goals for their elementary, middle, high school and college ed- ucation. When parents picked up their students at the schools, they were asked as well to accept Rachel's Challenge and come up with goals that would help their students achieve their educational dreams. Lights FROM PAGE 1 not a typical roundup in the environmental re- view published in Au- gust that envisions cow- boys on horseback roping mustangs the old-fash- ioned way, when neces- sary, while also using the helicopters, pickup trucks and bait traps, as usual. Critics say the latest round of gathers at tax- payer expense amounts to welfare for ranchers whose real aim is to rid the range of competition for scarce forage. Anne Novak, execu- tive director of the Cali- fornia-based horse advo- cacy group Protect Mus- tangs, acknowledged the nuisance roundups are le- gal under the Wild Free- Roaming Horse and Burro Act of 1971. But she said the ranchers are "grabbing at straws to remove native wild horses." "If people are going to live outside the city and don't want wild horses and other wild animals eating their grass, then they need to pay for fencing with their own money, not ex- pect another government handout," Novak said. Nevada's Department of Agriculture has captured horses in recent years that pose hazards on U.S. High- way 50 in western Nevada between Carson City and Dayton, and on a state highway near Virginia City. But those animals are considered feral horses that for the most part have been abandoned and left to roam state-owned prop- erty where they enjoy no protection under the 1971 federal law. BLM officials say over- population on the range has prompted some horses to wander 40 miles onto private land. "We are over the ap- propriate management level and lots of little stud groups are looking for mares to breed," BLM wild horse specialist Ben Noyes said. "There's no fence that is going to keep them out." Mustangs FROM PAGE 1 PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER. Thank you! By Jonathan Lemire The Associated Press NEW YORK A Doctors Without Borders physician who recently returned to the city after treating Eb- ola patients in West Africa has tested positive for the virus, according to prelim- inary test results, city offi- cials said Thursday. He's the fourth con- firmed case in the U.S. and the first in the nation's biggest city. A further test by the Centers for Dis- ease Control and Preven- tion will confirm the ini- tial test. A law enforcement offi- cial and a City official re- ceived notification of the preliminary test results and told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity but weren't authorized to discuss the case publicly before a Thursday night news con- ference. Craig Spencer, a 33-year- old emergency room doc- tor, returned from Guinea more than a week ago and reported Thursday coming down with a 103-degree fe- ver and diarrhea. He was rushed to Man- hattan's Bellevue Hospital, a designated Ebola center, and was being treated in a specially built isolation ward. The CDC has dispatched an Ebola response team to New York, and the city's disease detectives have been tracing the doctor's contacts to identify any- one who may be at risk. City officials say Spen- cer acknowledged riding the subway and taking a cab to a Brooklyn bowl- ing alley in the past week before he started showing symptoms. His Harlem apartment was cordoned off, and his fiancee, who was not show- ing symptoms, was being watched in a quarantine ward at Bellevue. The De- partment of Health was on site across the street from the apartment building Thursday night, giving out information to area resi- dents. Mayor Bill de Blasio said proper protocols were followed every step of the way and it didn't appear the doctor had been showing symptoms for very long.

By Lindsay Whitehurst The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY A series of colorful, eerie faces painted on rocks in some of the West's most pristine, well- known national parks has sparked an investigation by authorities and a furor on- line. National Park Ser- vice agents have found the images at five parks in California, Utah and Oregon so far, and Park Service spokesman Jef- frey Olson said the van- dalism could lead to fel- ony charges for the per- son responsible. The images appear to come from a New York state woman traveling across the West this sum- mer and documenting her work on Instagram and Tumblr, said Casey Sch- reiner of modernhiker. com, whose blog post tipped off authorities. The investigation also is the subject of well-traf- ficked Reddit threads, w ith people railing against the drawings as the defacing of irreplace- able natural landscapes. "You're seeing this emo- tional response of people who feel like they've been kicked in the gut," Sch- reiner said. It's not the first time van- dalism in parks has been documented on social me- dia. Last year in Utah, two Boy Scout leaders caused an online uproar when they recorded themselves toppling an ancient rock formation at Goblin Valley State Park and posted it on YouTube. VANDALISM INVESTIGATION Paintings in national parks spark probe By David Crary The Associated Press NEW YORK From violence to verbal taunts, abusive dating behavior is perva- sive among America's ad- olescents, according to a new, federally funded sur- vey. It says a majority of boys and girls who date de- scribe themselves as both victims and perpetrators. Sponsored by the Na- tional Institute of Jus- tice, the National Sur- vey on Teen Relationships and Intimate Violence was conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, a prominent research cen- ter which provided pre- liminary results to The Associated Press. Input came from a nationwide sample of 667 youths aged 12-18 who'd been dating within the past year and who completed a self-ad- ministered online ques- tionnaire. Nearly 20 percent of both boys and girls re- ported themselves as vic- tims of physical and sexual abuse in dating relation- ships — but the research- ers reported what they called a startling finding when they asked about psychological abuse, broadly defined as actions ranging from name-call- ing to excessive tracking of a victim. More than 60 percent of each gender re- ported being victims and perpetrators of such be- havior. The survey found no sub- stantive differences in mea- sures by ethnicity, family income or geographic lo- cation. Elizabeth Mumford, one of the two lead re- searchers for the survey, acknowledged that some of the behaviors defined as psychological abuse — such as insults and accu- sations of flirting — are commonplace but said they shouldn't be viewed as harmless. "None of these things are healthy interactions," she said. "It's almost more of a concern that our gut reaction is to accept this as natural." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in its campaigns against teen dating violence, also stresses the potential se- riousness of psychological abuse. "Teens often think some behaviors, like teas- ing and name calling, are a 'normal' part of a rela- tionship," says a CDC fact sheet. "However, these be- haviors can become abu- sive and develop into more serious forms of violence." Bruce Taylor, the other lead researcher for the NORC survey, said the overall abuse figures were higher than previous na- tional studies of dating abuse, revealing "the star- tlingly widespread nature of this problem." Using a definition un- der which adolescent rela- tionship abuse can occur in person or through elec- tronic means, in public or private, and between cur- rent or past dating part- ners , the survey estimates that 25 million U.S. ado- lescents are victims and nearly 23 million are per- petrators. Taylor and Mumford said the high rates in their survey may stem in part from youths being can- did due to the privacy of the online format. They also suggested that dat- ing abuse is now so com- mon that young people have little concern about admitting to it. The survey found fairly similar rates of victim- ization and perpetration among boys and girls — even in the sub-catego- ries of physical abuse and sexual abuse. Many pre- vious studies have found that girls are markedly more likely to be victims of physical and sexual dat- ing abuse than boys. However, the research- ers detected a shift as ad- olescents age. "We found that girls perpetrate serious threats or physical violence more than boys at ages 12-14, but that boys become the more common perpetra- tors of serious threats or physical violence by ages 15-18," they wrote. Mumford noted that the questionnaire did not delve into such details as which party instigated a two-way confrontation, or whether injuries resulted. She said it was possible girls suffered more seri- ous injuries than boys. "Our work suggests that prevention programs need to address both victimiza- tion and perpetration, not one or the other," Mum- ford and Taylor wrote. They recommended start- ing prevention programs in middle school, and noted that that teen dat- ing violence is viewed as a possible precursor to adult intimate-partner violence. Andra Tharp, a health scientist with the CDC's vi- olence prevention division, said two-way teen dating violence — with both part- ners engaging in abuse — is widespread.
