The pack should include: First aid kit

Denver police offer reward in death probe Santa Fe native’s family, friends gather for service By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican
NATO summit tackles revived Russian threat, Mideast violence
NEWPORT, Wales — Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko expressed guarded optimism Thursday that a peace initiative advanced by Russia can bring a quick end to his country’s months-long conflict. But Western allies promised an immediate escalation of sanctions against Moscow if the negotiations, planned for Friday, turn out to be “a smoke screen” for further Russian intervention in a war that threatens to unravel the core tenets of European security. The comments came as NATO leaders gathered at a golf resort in the gentle hill country of southern Wales to hammer out new strategies to confront an arc of crises, from a revived Russian threat to the wellarmed and highly organized extremist army that has conquered vast swaths of the Middle East. After more than a decade in which the world’s most powerful military alliance focused single-mindedly on a distant war — in Afghanistan — NATO leaders find themselves grappling with a panoply of threats that strike far closer to home.

Nearly two weeks after Santa Fe native Philip Lucero was found shot to death in a car blocks from his home near downtown Denver, investigators still haven’t identified a suspect or a motive. Police are offering a $2,000 reward for information leading Phillip to the arrest of a Lucero suspect in the Aug. 24 killing. Meanwhile, family and friends in Santa Fe will gather at 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 5, for recitation of the rosary and the celebration of Mass at 11 a.m. at The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Lucero, 48, graduated from Santa Fe’s St. Michael’s High School in 1984, and his parents and a brother still live in Santa Fe. Denver police have said that Lucero, who started two video production companies in Denver, might have been on his way home because he was found dead at 3:30 a.m. not far from his home. Officers who responded to a report about a suspicious vehicle parked in a residential neighborhood said they found Lucero in a 2005 Audi A4 that was “stopped and idling” in a parking lane. The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner has said Lucero was

“We wanted to do this as soon as we could after the last incident at the ski basin, which didn’t turn out the way we hoped,” Cascio said. He was the incident commander during several days of the search for Audrey Kaplan, a woman who had gone up the Winsor Trail on July 30 to hunt for mushrooms with her husband.
