Syrian opposition ighters were also part of the cross-border incursion, which was reported by both Turkish state media and Syr- ian opposition activists. Turkey said its intention was to clear the town of Jarablus, located right across the border from Turkey, from IS militants. But Turkey is also concerned about the growing power of U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish forces, who it says are linked to Kurdish groups wag- ing an insurgency in southeastern Turkey. Wednesday’s operation puts Turkey on track for a confrontation with the Kurdish ighters in Syria, where the civil war is now in its sixth year. A senior oficial with Syria’s largest Kurd- ish group suggested Turkey will pay the price. Saleh Muslim, the co-president of the Demo- cratic Union Party or PYD, tweeted that “Tur- key is in Syrian Quagmire. Will be defeated as Daesh” will be. He use the Arabic language acronym for IS. Italy earthquake kills dozens, reduces towns to rubble AMATRICE, Italy — A strong earthquake in central Italy reduced three towns to rubble as people slept early Wednesday, killing at least 73 people and injuring hundreds more as rescue crews raced to dig out survivors with bulldozers and their bare hands. The toll was likely to rise as crews reached homes in more remote hamlets where the scenes were apocalyptic “like Dante’s Inferno,” according to one witness. Complicating matters was that the area is a popular vacation spot in summer, with populations swelling, making the number of people in the area at the time difi- cult to estimate. “The town isn’t here anymore,” said Sergio Pirozzi, the mayor of Amatrice. “I believe the toll will rise.” The magnitude 6 quake struck at 3:36 a.m. (0136 GMT) and was felt across a broad swath of central Italy, including Rome, where resi- dents woke to a long swaying followed by after- shocks. The temblor shook the Lazio region and Umbria and Le Marche on the Adriatic coast. Premier Matteo Renzi planned to head to the zone later Wednesday and promised the area, which has suffered quakes many times before: “No family, no city, no hamlet will be left behind.” The hardest-hit towns were the tiny towns of Amatrice and Accumoli near Rieti, some 100 kilometers (80 miles) northeast of Rome, and Pescara del Tronto some 25 kilometers further W EDNESDAY E VENING (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 PM Blacks question Trump outreach delivered to white audiences AKRON, Ohio — Black Republicans cheer Donald Trump for a newfound outreach to Afri- can-Americans, but say the GOP presidential nominee must take his message beyond arenas illed with white supporters and venture into the inner cities. Many rank-and-ile black voters, mean- while, dismiss the overtures as another racially charged pitch from a campaign aimed exclu- sively at whites, from Trump’s emphasis on “law and order” to his withering critiques of President Barack Obama, the nation’s irst black chief executive. It was Trump in 2011 who iercely challenged Obama’s U.S. birth. “Any minority who would vote for him is crazy, ought to have their head examined,” said Ike Jenkins, an 81-year-old retired busi- ness owner in the predominantly black suburb LISTINGS THE DAILY ASTORIAN A east. Italy’s civil protection agency, which was coordinating the rescue, said the provisional toll was 73 dead, several hundred injured and thou- sands in need of temporary housing, though it stressed the numbers were luid. The center of Amatrice was devastated, with entire blocks of buildings razed and the air thick with dust and smelling strongly of gas. Ama- trice, birthplace of the famed spaghetti all’am- atriciana bacon-tomato pasta sauce, is made up of 69 hamlets that rescue teams were working to reach. of East Cleveland. Foluke Bennett, a 43-year-old from Phila- delphia, went further, labeling the GOP stan- dard-bearer’s remarks as “racist,” pointing, among other things, to his referencing Afri- can-Americans as “the blacks.” Trump is scheduled on Wednesday to appear in Jackson, Mississippi, an 80 percent Afri- can-American city and capital of the state with the nation’s highest proportion of black res- idents. It is unclear whether he will address black voters directly; so far, his appeal to them has been delivered before white audiences in mostly white cities. Horriied by Trump, Democrats getting nostalgic about Romney WASHINGTON — When President Barack Obama ran for re-election, Democrats made no secret of their disdain for Mitt Romney. That was all before Donald Trump. Horriied by the prospect of Trump in the White House, Obama and his party have changed their tune about Romney. As they denounce Trump as “unhinged” and unit, they’re getting nostalgic about the 2012 Repub- lican nominee they now describe as principled, competent and honorable. It’s a sharp reversal from four years ago. Back then, Democrats spent hundreds of mil- lions of dollars portraying the former Mas- sachusetts governor as a callous, unpatriotic, pet-abusing caricature of the uber-rich.
