Mounties in Cran-brook say they’ve un-covered more than two dozen forged utilities contracts and they’re

looking for more.The investigation

goes back to last De-cember after a business complained of irregular natural gas bills.

Police say they deter-mined that a number of businesses had con-tracts with Active Energy or Active Renewable Marketing and there

were forged signatures from either the owner or employees.

Mounties say they’ve identified two suspects who were not direct em-

ployees of either Fortis-BC or Active Energy, but were sub-contracted agents working on com-mission.

After the initial com-

plaint, police sent out 90 other letters to Cran-brook and Kimberley businesses asking them to review their gas bills.

So far, police have

confirmed 25 fake con-tracts and are consider-ing criminal charges of uttering forged docu-ments against the two suspects.

Descendents of the John-son and Botteril families gath-ered in Cranbrook’s Rotary Park Saturday, Sept. 8, to pay honour to the man who gave Cranbrook it’s legacy of trees.

Soren Johnson (1868-1948), was City Gardener for many years, and was responsible for the planting of some of the city’s most well-known trees.

Members of City Council and Cranbrook Public Works were on hand to unveil a plaque on the Wall of Recognition — the first such plaque for the new feature in Rotary Park.

After some introductory re-marks, Mayor Wayne Stetski introduced Councillor Angus Davis, whose brainchild the Wall of Recognition largely was.

Davis said the idea was de-veloped four years ago, after a conversation with Johnson’s granddaughter June Botteril, who was looking for some rec-ognition for her grandfather’s importance to Cranbrook’s ar-borial history.

Davis said this led to dis-

cussions with Public Works Di-rector Joe McGowan, who sug-gested creating a central space for such items of commemo-ration, a space which would attact people to it. A policy was subsequently developed, with criteria for being included on the wall — these included sig-nificant contribution to the community through involve-ment and service. And the rec-

ognition would also be post-humous.

Davis closed off his com-ments with a quotation de-scribing the importance of the “town square,” such as Rotary Park, and the “democracy, the panoply of city life,” that flows through it.

June Botteril then unveiled the commemorative plaque.

Soren Johnson was born in

Vilerslen, Denmark in 1868. He married Selma Ecland in 1901, and moved to South Da-kota. The Johnsons immigrat-ed to Alberta in 1904, and eventually arrived in Cran-brook in 1913, with six chil-dren (a daughter, Florence, would be born to them in Cranbrook).

Johnson initially bought land southwest of Cranbrook, known as Bald Hill ranch, but moved into Cranbrook in 1926. The Johnsons built a home on Watt Avenue South (now known as 3rd Avenue South) which would eventually be lived in by three generations of Johnsons.

Johson was employed as the City Gardener, and much of the city’s urban forest is due to his efforts. He was renowned for a special talent for growing and developing plants and trees specific to the Cranbrook area. The trees in Baker Park, Rotary Park, the cemetery, and in other locations around Cranbrook are a legacy of his career.

Many will be disap-pointed to hear that Ca-triona Le May Doan will not be speaking in Kim-berley later this month for the JCI national con-vention.

Although organizers of The Climb, the annual convention for Junior Chamber International (JCI) members, had scheduled the two-time Olympic gold medal winning speed skater as a keynote speaker, Le May Doan has been forced to withdraw.

The Calgary-based Olympian was asked to host a Canadian Olym-pic Committee celebra-tion for the athletes of the 2012 London Olym-pics in Toronto the same night.

Instead, the joint Cranbrook and Kimber-ley event will feature downhill skier Steve Podborksi, who won bronze at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics.

“It is unfortunate that Catriona won’t be able to attend, but the Canadian

Olympic Committee was extremely accommodat-ing with us and helping us find a replacement for her,” said Mike Adams, event chair.

“We are thrilled that it will be Steve Podbor-ski with his history as a professional skier and as a ‘Crazy Canuck’ as well as his current work with the Canadian Olympic Committee as the Chef de Mission for the Sochi Olympics. We have been told that his speech on teamwork, excellence and mastery is great!”

Podborski is a two-time Olympian and the first North American male to win an Olympic medal in downhill ski-ing. In 1982, Steve be-came the first and still only non-European male to win the World Cup downhill title.

During his career, Steve was ranked num-ber one in the world for more than two years and he won eight World Cup downhill races, more than any other Can-adian.

Steve was named an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1982 and he has been named Can-ada’s Athlete of the Year twice.

He was assistant Chef de Mission for the 2010 Canadian Olympic Team, and will be Chef de Mission for the team at the 2014 Sochi Olym-pics.

The Climb will be held from September 19 to 23 at Kimberley Con-ference and Athlete Training Centre at the ski hill. Around 120 JCI delegates are expected to attend, and the public is invited to attend any of the keynote speeches.

Joining Podborski as key note speakers will be Patrick Knight, a Florida-based lawyer who sur-vived a tragedy in 2009 when his brother-in-law killed four family mem-bers during a Thanksgiv-ing meal. Knight suffered serious injury and was in a coma for three months, while his pregnant wife was killed.

The third keynote speaker will be Calgary

entrepreneur Martin H. Park. Since starting his career at age 20, Park has owned 12 businesses and is an award-winning business coach.

Park speaks at the Conference Centre on Thursday, September 20 from 12 to 1:30 p.m.

Knight speaks on Fri-day, September 21 from 12 to 1:30 p.m.

Podborski speaks on Saturday, September 22 from 12 to 1:30 p.m.

Tickets for each of the sessions is $50 plus HST, which includes lunch. To pick up a ticket, visit www.theclimb.2012.ca, phone 250-489-8450 or email [email protected] before Wednesday, September 12.

Not one, not two, but three local people will be honoured in B.C. Homes magazine this month.

Former Kimberley mayor Jim Ogilvie, cur-rent Kimberley mayor Ron McRae, and owner of New Dawn Develop-ments Chad Jensen have all been named in the province’s Top 20 Most Influential People in Residential Construc-tion this year.

Nominated by their peers in the B.C. home building and renovation community, and chosen by a committee includ-ing industry profession-als, the list this year in-cludes builders, de-velopers, renovators, marketers, community builders and building science experts, among

others.The three will be rec-

ognized in the Septem-ber/October edition of B.C. Homes magazine, as well as being cele-brated an awards lunch-eon in October 2012.

“Using their con-siderable influence, they constantly work to en-hance and improve Brit-ish Columbia’s home building and renovation community and all it entails to ensure the in-dustry is the best it can be - for this generation, and for the generations to come,” said Sharrie Paulsen, executive offi-cer of the Canadian Home Builders’ Associa-tion (CHBA) Rocky Mountain branch.

CHBA Rocky Moun-tain is a voluntary mem-bership made up of building professionals

and related businesses that are committed to industry excellence. Through the associa-tion, members have ac-cess to technical infor-mation as well as spe-cialized education and training courses. CHBA also promotes a mem-bers’ code of ethics that calls for high standards in customer relations and business practices.

Exciting news for our valley! Inspire-Health’s two day cancer care LIFE program is coming to our valley on Thursday, October 4 and Friday, October 5.

Although Inspire-Health has been in exis-tence since 1997, any-one wanting to take the program has had to travel to Vancouver to do so. Now a new ven-ture, called Inspire LIFE BC, has begun to reach out to more rural areas of our province, made possible in part by ad-ditional funding by the BC Ministry of Health.

The first out-reach program was held in Terrace in March with the second one in Kam-loops in June. We are thrilled that we will be the third BC location to receive this program.

Anyone who has been affected with can-cer is invited to attend this program to learn how to live well and empower themselves along with traditional treatments.

InspireHealth is of benefit to anyone at any stage of their can-

InspireHealth’s LIFE Program coming to EKcer journey whether re-cently diagnosed, un-dergoing treatment or having finished treat-ment and wanting to learn strategies to pre-vent recurrence.

The program gives participants the tools to empower them to im-prove their recovery and survival.

We are pleased to announce that we have received financial sup-port from four service clubs in our valley: The Lake Windermere Lions, the Fairmont Lions, the Kinsmen and the Rotary Clubs, both of Invermere. This has allowed us to offer the LIFE Program for the early registration cost of $150 before Septem-ber 15 and $250 after that date.

The cost to take the program in Vancouver is $445 so this is a very significant saving for participants!

We are also pleased that Copper Point Re-sort has graciously agreed to host this event in their new facil-ity. Their chef is pres-ently working with the InspireHealth’s nutri-tionist to ensure that the food to be served will be made with the finest quality food using, when possible, local ingredients.

tee members, Donna Taillon, recently trav-eled to Kamloops to at-tend the LIFE program there. The program is designed to provide at-tendees with not only the two day workshop but with courses simi-lar to those offered in their permanent clin-ics. These include: vid-eos on nutrition, reci-pes, weekly online meditation and doctor consultations via Skype or by phone. Technolo-gy allows this connec-

sultation with an In-spireHealth physician with online follow-ups as needed, online class-es, free membership in Tyze, a secure online support program as well as access to a data base of the latest re-search.

Participants are en-couraged to bring along a support person who can attend for $95.

In addition health care providers, such as massage therapists, physiotherapists, and health food providers, will find the program valuable for assisting those who have had cancer with the cost to attend being $95.

If you know of any-one who has been af-fected by cancer we ask that you bring this pro-gram to their attention.

We encourage any-one who currently has cancer or has had can-cer at any time to regis-ter for this integrative cancer care program by calling 1-888- 734-7125.

Local highland dancers worked hard during the last week of August at the Annual Sizziling Hi-Cuts Summer School in prep-eration for the Calgary and Canmore Highland Games. The students of Liela Cooper and Hali Duncan worked really hard during their week with guest dance instructor Shalni Prowse from Kamloops, B.C. ,which paid off in their medal count over the weekend. Between the two days the girls won over 40 medals, $500 in prize money, and 2 overall top placements!

OTTAWA — A Cana-dian company is seek-ing to go back in time to help fly Canada’s air force into the future.

Documents obtained by the Global News pro-gram ``The West Block’’ indicate an update to the storied CF-105 Avro Arrow was put forward as an alternative to the purchase of F-35 stealth fighter jets.

And among the proj-ect’s champions is one of Canada’s top soldiers, retired Maj.Gen. Lewis MacKenzie.

The Arrow was an advanced, all-weather supersonic interceptor jet developed in the 1950s but the project was scrapped before a single plane could be built.

MacKenzie told the ``The West Block’’ that the Arrow’s basic design and platform still ex-ceed any current fighter jet and it is perfect for Canada’s needs.

``It’s an attack air-craft. It’s designed for attacking ground targets and its stealth is most effective against short range radar, protecting ground targets,’’ MacK-enzie said.

``What we need in Canada is something that can go to the edge of our airspace, from a sovereignty point of view, and be able to catch up with intrud-ers.’’

The plan to build an updated Arrow in Cana-da instead of buying

into an international deal for a fleet of F-35s was originally put be-fore the Harper Conser-vatives in 2010 by a company called Bour-deau Industries, which has offices in the U.K. and Canada.

The proposal, which was updated in 2012, suggested the plane could fly 20,000 feet higher than the F-35, soar twice as fast and would cost less.

For example, the proposal said that the total cost of the Arrow program would be $11.73 billion, com-pared to the $16 billion the federal government says the F-35 program will cost.

That F-35 figure has been disputed by the auditor general and par-liamentary budget offi-cer, who peg the true cost of the new stealth fighters at closer to $25 billion.

The Arrow project would also create a made-in-Canada plane and an industry that would add thousands of jobs and billions of dol-lars to the Canadian economy, the proposal’s author wrote.

But in June, the gov-ernment rejected the plan, saying too much money and time was re-quired to execute it and the plane didn’t meet the technical specifica-tions required.

Meanwhile, the plans for the F-35s remain on hold.

VANCOUVER — Starting Monday, po-lice incidents in British Columbia that end in fatalities or serious in-jury will be investigat-ed by an outside agen-cy.

The provincial In-dependent Investiga-tions Office will open its doors, taking over reviews for incidents involving RCMP, 11 municipal police de-partments, provincial Transit Police and one First Nations police force operating in the province.

The office fulfills the primary recom-mendation from pub-lic inquiries into two high-profile police-in-

volved deaths: Robert Dziekanski died at Vancouver airport in October 2007 after being stunned with an RCMP Taser and Frank Paul froze to death in a Vancouver alley where he was taken by Van-couver police after being ejected from the city drunk tank.

B.C. Justice Minister Shirley Bond will offi-cially open the office on Monday alongside IIO director Robert Rosenthal.

Bond has said the office will strengthen the public’s faith in po-lice by ensuring that incidents of death or serious harm are in-vestigated in an impar-tial way.

PE TER WARL AND

On Tuesday August 28th 2012, in her eighty-seventh year, Jean ‘Jimmy’ Warland died suddenly.

In retrospect, the two things that I did correctly in my life were to ask Jimmy (really Jean) Al-

exander to marry me and then, when she actually did the deed, to emigrate with her from England to British Columbia. All other decisions that I’ve made pall when compared to those two.

I was half-way up a 40-foot cliff when she appeared below me, fair hair, smiling face looking up at me (probably in amuse-ment), pretty blouse, little shorts and strong athletic legs. I was awed.

I didn’t actually fall off that cliff but, later on that day, I asked her for a date and was amazed when she agreed, and there-by hangs the tale of the rest of my life.

Because of the lack of places to live, we purchased a narrow boat, sailed it down the Thames with hare-brained friends, then converted it for use as a home.

Jimmy was already a teacher when we first met and her question to me as to what I’d be doing while she was travelling and climbing in the long summer holi-days made me bluff my own way into the ignoble profession. I reckon that my old head-master had gone senile or had

merely snorted in disgust when I asked him for reference for college.

While I was “a kept man” and went to school, Jimmy worked and sustained the two of us. We travelled all over Britain and much of Europe together, mostly by hitch-hiking. We climbed rocks and mountains in Wales, Scotland, France and Spain. We caved and camped in the winter snows.

Then we left the Old Country, delivered a car across country and came to Prince George and then, in 1958, to Cranbrook, where we’ve lived ever since.

From the start, we liked the people that we met here and have remained friends with most of them to this date. We enjoyed the lakes in summer and spent a much time as possible in the Rockies, where her ladyship would often beat me to the top of peaks.

The arrival of children slowed us down a little so, unlike many of our Canadian friends, we stopped at two, Peter and Jill, and both of them, mostly due to Jimmy’s care and attention, have turned out to be very pleasant people.

As fate would have it, the year we set-tled in Cranbook was the year that Kim-berley ski hill opened. Jimmy, who had skied in Norway and the Alps, took me by the clammy hand and away we went. We became fanatics and, each winter, when the ski-hill opened, we almost lived there.

Both children understood that, in the winter, we went skiing, no questions asked.

Jimmy was always in her element trav-elling. She had been one of the first Brit-ons to travel to ‘The Continent’ after the war. She was a guide for adventurous hik-ing English people while I, even in the RAF, still hadn’t left England. So, even though we were a little hampered by the children (who isn’t?), we decided not to delay international travel until we retired, so off we went. We showed the youngsters the funny English relatives, climbed with them over ancient castles, whipped them off, camping, around Europe and, gener-ally had a good time.

When we did finally retire from teach-ing and the kids were off on their own, Jimmy and I picked the seasons between hiking the high country and the skiing and travelled a great deal of the world to-gether, inflicting our version of the local language on the bemused natives. Those trips were marvellous but, personally, I was always glad to be back in the serenity of our chosen home, The Kootenays.

For more than sixty years we had a marvellous and sometimes exciting life together, did Jimmy and I. As one old friend wrote, when I told him of Jimmy’s demise, “You were a lucky bastard, War-land”.

A life spent with Jimmy

OpiniOn/EvEnts

As a candidate for the B.C. Conser-vatives in the last provincial election, Ben Besler turned in

one of the best showings in a campaign that was mostly an exercise in futility.

He pulled 15 per cent of the vote in Chilliwack, running against incumbent B.C. Liberal John Les. Among the two dozen candidates fielded by the Conser-vatives, only Joe Cardo-so, with 20 per cent in Boundary-Similkameen, did better.

The 29-year-old Besler defied the ageist stereotype of the typical Conservative candidate. As the activist parent of an autistic child in the public school sys-tem, he has lately given the party a profile on the social services agenda as well.

He also took on the B.C. Liberals over the harmonized sales tax. A roofing con-tractor, Besler felt the bite of the unpopu-lar tax directly through his business, and he signed on as a regional organizer of the successful Fight HST petition drive.

Besler was briefly involved in the effort to recall incumbent Liberals for dragging their feet on repeal of the tax. But he gave that up in the fall of 2010, pledging in-stead to devote his energies to revitalizing the Conservative party.

Note the irony of the remarks, attrib-uted to him later that year in the Chilli-wack Progress, during the leadership furor in the New Democratic Party.

“Chilliwack Conservative Ben Besler said his party has already gone through its struggles with dissidents ... and it has managed to ‘pull together a party that people could relate to and get behind.’ “

Yes and no.The Conservatives surely did go

through a lot of internal dissension in the

run-up to the 2009 election, including a legal battle over control of the party brand that wasn’t settled until months later and at considerable expense.

But Conservatives who survived the earlier imbroglio must be getting that “here we go again,” feeling these days. For there’s been a major eruption of dissent over the leadership of John Cummins,

now in his second year at the helm of the fractious party.

Besler, now vice-president of the party, is one of the leaders of a movement to open up the leadership be-fore the next election.

“A leadership review can be the vehicle that not only

promotes the party but brings openness and clarity as to this party’s objectives,” he wrote in an open letter to “my dear fellow B.C. Conservative members” distributed at the beginning of this week.

“We do have time to make the neces-sary adjustments that will promote an environment of competence, hard work and dedication to public service that will lead our province to a stable tomorrow.”

Two days later came a more personal-ized blast at Cummins over the drain that the pensioned-off former federal MP is placing on the provincial party’s financial resources.

“John Cummins is now taking $4,000 per month plus expenses, of the party’s limited resources to add to his extremely high personal income at a time when we need every resource possible to fight the next general election,” fumed Besler in an email obtained by reporter Shane Wood-ford of CKNW radio.

Scarce resources would be better put to training workshops, volunteer recruit-ment, organizational development and election readiness, the party VP argued.

Otherwise “we will not be relevant in the next election.”

Nor could Besler resist a passing shot at Cummins regarding the party’s only elected member of the legislature, B.C. Liberal defector John van Dongen. While the party leader feathers his own nest, van Dongen “is putting up his own money to fight the BC Rail case.”

Fighting back, Cummins’ supporters argue that Besler and his associates repre-sent a minority viewpoint.

Cummins himself set the tone for those dismissals when he responded to com-plaints late last month from board mem-ber John Crocock with a memorable com-parison between him-self and ... well, let him tell it.

“I hate to use a biblical reference, “ Cummins told reporter Jonathan Fowlie of The Vancouver Sun, before doing just that, “but Christ had 12 apostles and one turned him in. We share the same initials but I can’t rise from the dead and I can’t get unanimity from the board. I wouldn’t expect to be able to. He couldn’t and I can’t.”

Some days in this business, you don’t need to do more than let them talk and then report what they say.

Against this backdrop of intrigue and recrimination, the Conservatives are scheduled to hold a special general meet-ing in the provincial capital Saturday to sort out some of the rules for their leader-ship vote and coming annual conven-tion.

The site — you can’t make these things up — is the local Salvation Army Citadel. Emphasis on the “salvation,” presumably, given the way things have been going in-side the party of late.

One often hears now that the Liberal Party of Canada has few places

to turn on policy, as it is being squeezed from the left by New Democrats and from the right by Conservatives. The Grits’ bi-ennial policy conference last January was spectacularly de-void of fresh thinking.

Hence the recurring obses-sion with leadership, most re-cently the intentions of one Justin Trudeau. Trudeau’s win-ning smile and 147,000-strong Twitter following, some insid-ers believe, are the only things standing between the party of Laurier and rump status, or oblivion, in 2015.

But what if those assump-tions about policy were false? Here are a few notions a Lib-eral leadership candidate could champion to decent ef-fect, if he or she were inclined. These ideas are not patented, nor all of them original. But they would mark a departure from the party’s recent status quo.

• Legalize and regulate con-sumption of marijuana and rationalize the federal govern-

ment’s approach to narcotics, keeping health, safety, addic-tion treatment and prevention top of mind. De-criminalize wherever possible. Use this policy to cripple or reduce the role of biker gangs and other criminal organizations in the drug trade.

• Acknowledge that violent crime in Canada has reached 40-year lows and reform jus-tice policy accordingly. Keep more petty criminals out of jail and impose much harsher penalties for violent criminals such as pedophiles, rapists and murderers, particularly when their victims are chil-dren.

• Write off the long-gun reg-istry as a well-intended but unworkable idea that cost too much and had no effect, be-yond infuriating and alienat-ing hunters and farmers. Maintain safe-storage laws and support long-gun safety courses. At the same time, clamp down on handguns and large collections, which can be subject to theft. Ban these out-right if necessary. Find and use levers to force the U.S. border states to crack down hard on handgun smuggling across the

Canada-U.S. border.• Develop an environmen-

tal policy built simply on pro-tecting clean water, clean air, the oceans, fish and wildlife and the natural landscape. Then develop a human-scale renewable energy program de-signed around solar, micro-hydro, geo-thermal and small windmills that can be erected in a back yard or on a roof. Help farmers and landowners acquire these. Put serious re-sources into developing better batteries, for cars as well as houses. Abandon industrial-scale wind projects except in very remote areas where no one lives.

• Lower income taxes. Elim-inate red tape. Eliminate the federal deficit. Pay down debt.

• Make the first $25,000 of income for anyone earning their livelihood as artist, or a farmer, tax-free.

• Design a system of pro-portional representation, per-haps based on the Australian model, that works for Canada. Draft accountability reforms that restore the traditional powers of MPs in the House of Commons, and that cannot be scrapped or ignored if you get

back into power.• Buy new fighter jets, after

a proper international contest. Carry on with building a new Canadian navy. But place na-tional defence focus over-whelmingly on protecting Canada’s three coastlines and in particular on establishing sovereignty over the Arctic and the Northwest Passage, as the Tories have pledged to do but have not done.

• Declare that the Indian Act is racist, an abomination in modern Canada. Dedicate yourself to its speedy and com-plete abolition in a way that respects First Nations con-cerns about losing even more than they’ve already lost. Wherever possible, and if local people approve, give title to existing reserve lands to the people who live on the land, to do with as they please.

• Rededicate your party to the principle of equal treat-ment for all under the law, re-gardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, language group or creed. Make it a bedrock prin-ciple and do not be afraid to defend it in the face of com-plaints by any who demand exclusionary treatment.

The Kootenay Ice dropped their remain-ing two games against the Portland Winter-hawks and the Everett Silvertips over the week-end at a preseason tour-nament in Kennewick, WA.

The Winterhawks, fresh off their second consecutive appear-ance at the WHL final at the end of last season, defeated the Ice 5-2, while the Silvertips squeaked out a close 3-2 win.

Portland outshot the Ice in all three periods as Wyatt Hoflin was put through his paces in

making 47 saves, while Brenden Burke earned the win for the Winter-hawks, making 22 stops.

Portland scored two consecutive goals in the first period on efforts from Taylor Peters and Oliver Bjorkstrand be-fore the Ice responded, when Spencer Wand notched Kootenay’s first powerplay goal of the exhibition season.

Erik Benoit tied up the score at 2-2 late in the second period on another powerplay goal, but the Winterhawks pulled ahead less than a minute later off an ef-fort from Ty Rattie.

Portland centreman

Dominic Turgeon notched a pair of goals in the third period to clinch the win.

Ice forward Levi Cable and defenseman Matt Thomas both earned a point by as-sisting Benoit’s goal, while Wand’s marker went without any help on the scoresheet.

Saturday’s game against the Silvertips pitted two generations of Chynoweths against each other as the Ice general manager and his club faced a roster that includes his 17-year-old son, Ryan.

Mackenzie Skapski got the start for the Ice, making 26 saves, while

Kootenay got 24 shots on goal against Troy Trombley, who stood between the pipes for Everett.

For the third straight time over the three-game road trip, the Ice ceded the first goal when Zach McPhee scored two minutes after the start of the opening period.

Luke Philp answered for the Ice five minutes later with his third goal of the preseason and his second short-hand-ed effort of the road trip.

Ice prospect Kyle Krabben scored his first goal in the WHL early in the second period with

help from Jaedon De-scheneau and Philp, but the ‘Tips tied up the game near the end of the frame.

Tyler Sandhu broke the draw late in the final period, lifting the Sil-vertips to the win with less than a minute and a half to go.

The Ice have re-turned home and will spend the next week sharpening up as a team and possibly making a few more ros-ter releases. The next exhibition game will be in the Crowsnest Pass next Friday as the Ice and the Lethbridge Hurricanes meet half-way to do battle.

No new NHL labour meetings during quiet weekendASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - After the first face-to-face meeting in a week be-tween the NHL and the players’ association, the sides spent a relatively quiet weekend apart as the clock ticks down to-ward another potential

lockout.With less than a week

remaining before the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players runs out, no new nego-tiations took place after an informal return to the table Friday.

There was hope that negotiations would re-sume Saturday or Sun-day, but the communi-cation between the sides was limited to phone and email instead.

NHLPA executive di-rector Donald Fehr, and his top assistant and

brother, Steve Fehr, sat down with NHL Com-missioner Gary Bettman and deputy commis-sioner Bill Daly on Fri-day for a status check after a week of little to no communication. The sides last held formal discussions on the previ-

ous Friday, but those ended with Donald Fehr telling reporters the talks were in a “recess.”

The current CBA ex-pires Saturday, and Bett-man has said the league will lock out the players if a deal isn’t reached by then.

LARRY LAGEAssociated Press

DETROIT - Shannon Eastin used her left hand to tuck her pony tail under her cap after the national anthem and got ready for work.

She seemed to do her job, which ended by helping to separate St. Louis Rams and Detroit Lions players after some shoving, pushing and shouting broke out fol-lowing the final play.

Eastin became the first woman to be an of-ficial in an NFL regular-season game, working as the line judge in the Rams-Lions matchup Sunday.

“It’s a great mile-stone,” Detroit coach Jim Schwartz said after his team beat St. Louis 27-23. “But we didn’t think about it all during the game.”

That’s probably just the way she - and the league - liked it.

Eastin is among the replacement officials hired by the league while the regular officials are locked out. Replacement officials are working games for the first time in 11 years.

She became the first female official to work an NFL preseason game last month as the line judge when Green Bay played at San Diego. The Pro Football Hall of Fame has the hat and whistle she used during that pre-season game, and they’ll are expected to be dis-played in Canton, Ohio.

The 42-year-old resi-dent of Tempe, Ariz. has worked as a referee in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference - college football’s second-highest level - and has 16 years of officiating experience. MEAC officials declined comment on Eastin, as did the NFL in the days leading up to the ground-breaking assignment.

“Commenting on in-dividual officials is not something we do,” league spokesman Greg Aiello wrote in an email. “Her place in league his-tory speaks for itself.”

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said having Eastin on the field is a great opportu-nity for her and the league.

“She’s well prepared for it, and I think she’ll do terrific,” Goodell said last month. “So we’re ex-cited about that.

“And there are more coming, by the way. We’ve been working along this path to try to properly train and pre-pare a female official, and now we have the op-portunity.”

The NFL declined to make Eastin available for interviews during the week leading up to the game and didn’t allow media to have access to her following the Rams-Lions game, but did set up a conference call with her in August.

“I hope to show it re-ally doesn’t matter if you are male or female,” Eas-tin said last month.

Celebrities bring curtain down on biggest-ever Paralympic GamesSte ve DouglaSAssociated Press

LONDON - London’s spectacular summer of sports was given a rousing send-off Sun-day.

Coldplay and an all-star support cast brought the curtain down on the most-watched and best-at-tended Paralympic Games of all time, end-ing a six-week-long festival of sport in the British capital that began with the hugely successful Olympics.

Rapper Jay-Z and pop star Rihanna col-laborated with the English rock band in a three-hour extravagan-za at the 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium hon-ouring the spirit of fes-tivals throughout Brit-ish history.

Central to the cere-mony - called the “Fes-tival of the Flame” -

were the 4,200 Para-lympians from 164 na-tions who sat around the field of play from the start. The past 11 days of memorable competition have shift-ed perceptions and shattered stereotypes, ensuring disabled sport will never be seen in the same light.

“I think people are going to look back at this Paralympic Games and for the first time really, truly believe that Paralympic sport is not just inspirational, it’s hard-core sport,” said South African double amputee Oscar Pisto-rius, the iconic figure of the Paralympics.

A moving tribute to wounded British ser-vicemen and members of the British army opened the show and saw Luke Sinnott, a captain who lost both legs from above the

knee in an explosion in Afghanistan in 2010, hang the Union Flag at the top of flagpole in the middle of the sta-dium.

Proud flag-bearers, including Montreal swimmer Benoit Huot carrying the Mpale Leaf, marched in be-fore a motorcade of 25 trucks, in a variety of shapes including pea-cocks and fish, stormed the stadium. Huot con-tributed a medal of each colour to Cana-da’s total of 31 (seven gold, 15 silver, nine bronze).

The procession kick-started Coldplay’s set list that artistic di-rector Kim Gavin want-ed to reflect the four seasons at the heart of the show.

Top-selling hits like “Clocks,” ”Viva La Vida“ and ”Paradise“ were belted out, rock-

ing an arena that has been the focus of the sporting world since the end of July.

The baton was to be handed to Rio when the cauldron - made

up of 200 petals - is ex-tinguished, ending the biggest games in the 52-year history of the Paralympics.

“On Aug. 29, we opened with the theme

of ‘Enlightenment,”’ said Sir Philip Craven, president of the Inter-national Paralympic Committee. “Tonight, we are enlightened and armed with a superior knowledge of what can be achieved. The lega-cy of these games will be long-lasting.”

The 2012 Paralym-pics have broken all re-cords, with 2.7 million spectators cramming into venues and more than $70 million raised in ticket sales - both unprecedented figures as the British public displayed a previously unseen enthusiasm for Paralympic sport.

The games were broadcast in more than 100 countries, allowing Paralympians such as Dutch wheelchair ten-nis player Esther Verg-eer - who extended her nine-year unbeaten streak to 470 matches

by winning the wom-en’s singles - and dou-ble gold-medallist Brit-ish swimmer Ellie Sim-mons become house-hold names.

In total, 251 world records were broken over the 11 days.

“I think it’s been an absolute triumph from start to finish,” said British Prime Minister David Cameron, whose disabled son Ivan died in 2009. “I think back to Ivan. As every par-ent, you think about all the things they can’t do, but at the Paralym-pics they are superhu-man, you see all the things they can do.

“It’s been a golden summer of British sport.”

Such was the global attraction of perform-ing at the closing cere-mony that organizers were able to turn down approaches to appear.

Rihanna, Jay Z and Coldplay - acclaimed artists who have sold millions of records among them - were being paid a nominal one pound ($1.60) to play.

“Being at the Para-lympics is the biggest honour,” Rihanna said. “These athletes are gladiators and are a true inspiration to me.”

Two such examples were Mary Zakayo, a Kenyan javelin thrower and shot-putter credit-ed with changing the face of Paralympic sport in Africa, and Mi-chael McKillop, an Irish athlete who won two middle-distance golds.

The two were cho-sen as the athletes who best exemplified the spirit of the games, earning the Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award.

Djokovic bests Ferrer, will face Murray for US Open titleHowarD FenDricH

Associated Press

NEW YORK - The weather was much bet-ter at the U.S. Open on Sunday. So was Novak Djokovic.

Under a cloudless blue sky, in only a hint of wind, defending champion Djokovic got his game into high gear and reached his third consecutive final at Flushing Meadows by beating fourth-seeded David Ferrer of Spain 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 in a match suspended a day earlier.

Ferrer led a shaky Djokovic 5-2 in the semifinal’s opening set Saturday, when wind was whipping at more than 20 mph and play was halted because of an impending rain-storm. When they re-sumed about 18 hours later, Ferrer held serve to take that set - and then Djokovic quickly took control, using the

brand of defence-to-of-fence baseline excel-lence that has carried the Serb to four of the past seven Grand Slam titles.

“We were all praying for less wind today,” Djokovic said. “He han-dled the wind much better than I did. I came into today as a different player.”

In Monday’s final, Djokovic will face Olym-pic champion Andy Murray, who beat Tomas Berdych 5-7, 6-2, 6-1, 7-6 (7) on Saturday. It’s the fifth consecutive year the U.S. Open men’s title match has been played a day later than planned.

The women’s final between Serena Wil-liams and Victoria Aza-renka that was supposed to be played Saturday night was shifted to Sunday afternoon, the fourth time since 2008 the women’s event went long, too.

Murray was able to enjoy a day off Sunday, while Djokovic had to put in some work. But in the end, it wasn’t too taxing: Djokovic played only about two hours and was finished with

Ferrer by 1:20 p.m., giv-ing him more than 24 hours to rest before tak-ing on Murray.

Murray is one of only two men to lose each of his first four major finals - his coach, Ivan Lendl,

is the other - and he’ll try to avoid dropping to 0-5. He’ll also try to be-come the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win any of ten-nis’ four most important tournaments.

Serena Williams mounts comeback to win 4th US OpenHowarD FenDricH

Associated Press

NEW YORK - Finally tested, even trailing, at the U.S. Open, Serena Williams turned things around just in time.

Two points from de-feat, Williams suddenly regained her compo-sure and her strokes, coming back to win the last four games and beat No. 1-ranked Vic-

toria Azarenka 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 on Sunday night for her fourth champi-onship at Flushing Meadows and 15th Grand Slam title over-all.

“I honestly can’t be-lieve I won. I really was preparing my runner-up speech, because I thought, ‘Man, she’s playing so great,” Wil-liams said during the

trophy presentation, adding: “I’m really shocked.”

Might be the only one.

After all, what really was stunning was that Azarenka made things as interesting as they were, given that she came into the day 1-9 against Williams over their careers.

Add in that Williams

hadn’t dropped a set in the tournament, losing only 19 games through six matches before Sunday. All part of a tremendous run she is putting together in re-action to her loss at the French Open in late May, the American’s only first-round exit in 49 career major tour-naments. Since then, she is 26-1, winning

Wimbledon and the London Olympics.

There hadn’t been a three-set women’s final in New York since 1995, and Williams came through with a late charge to become the first woman to win Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in the same season since a decade ago, when - yes, that’s right - she did it.

“I think people are going to look back at

this Paralympic Games and for the

first time, really truly believe that

Paralympic sport is not just inspirational, it’s hard-core sport.”

McIlroy joins some elite company with BMW Championship win

Doug FerguSonAssociated Press

CARMEL, Ind. - Rory McIlroy beat the stron-gest leaderboard in golf this year Sunday in the BMW Championship and joined some elite company.

McIlroy made back-to-back birdies around the turn to emerge from a four-way tie and seize control at Crooked Stick. He closed with a 5-under 67, making his only bogey on the final hole when it no longer mat-tered, for a two-shot vic-tory over Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood.

Everyone knew Boy Wonder was a special player when he won the U.S. Open last summer with a record score. The last month has estab-lished him as the domi-nant player in golf, with three wins in four tour-naments loaded with the best players - the PGA

Championship and two FedEx Cup playoff events.

McIlroy became the first player since Tiger Woods in 2009 to win in consecutive weeks on the PGA Tour, and with his sixth career win, he joined Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win at least six times at age 23.

“I didn’t think every-thing would happen so quickly, but I’m on a good run at the minute and I want to keep it going as long as I can,” McIlroy said.

Mickelson and West-wood tried to chase him down on the back nine at Crooked Stick, only to mistakes when they couldn’t afford any.

Woods was never se-riously in the mix. Five shots behind with seven holes to play, he made three late birdies and shot 68 to tie for fourth.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are an old hand at dealing with tension and/or power plays. An opportunity to show your ex-pertise will arise. Respond instinc-tively. A conversation with a friend you often see helps shed light on what is going on. Tonight: Head home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Stay centered, even when dealing with difficult demands, and you’ll see certain situations in a new light. Communication stays active. You hear news that makes sense to you now, when previously it did not. Trust your imagination and drive to resolve any issues. Tonight: Meet friends for some munchies. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pull back, and make yourself aware of new possibilities. The unexpected occurs with a friend. You might note that this person has become somewhat trouble-some. A conversation with a family member finally makes an impres-sion. Tonight: Treat yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have an edge, no matter what you decide to deal with. Be direct with someone you have put on a pedestal. You know what works, and you know what to do. This person appreciates honesty and clarity. Think before you react. To-night: Be yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Know what is going on behind the scenes. Pressure builds as you run into a complication. A willful person could put up barriers at the last minute. A meeting might be informative and, in some way, could fertilize your imagination. Tonight: Vanish while you can. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your sense of direction comes through, whether you are argu-ing or simply debating a key is-sue surrounding a project. Your resourcefulness comes out during a conversation and increases your creativity. Your words have power right now. Tonight: Hang out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to rethink a personal matter in order to avoid a collision. A partner, friend or

A boss or higher-up plays a strong role in your plans. Tonight: Chat over dinner. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Emotions build, especially as you might find yourself unexpectedly in an either-or situation. Verbalize more of your thinking before you decide whether to keep others in

your camp. Tonight: Walk in some-one else’s shoes before you make a decision. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Focus on routine or daily issues, and you’ll come out way ahead. Do not question a decision so much. Sometimes your knee-jerk reaction takes you down the right path. Listen to what someone is saying. Tonight: Relax; take a walk. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your creativity remains high. A partner keeps feeding you new information, which creates fertile territory for new ideas. Be careful with your funds. The unexpected plays a big role in the next few days. Tonight: Treat both yourself and a friend.

Dear Annie: On September 10th, people throughout the world will be observing World Suicide Prevention Day, an annual event co-sponsored by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Approximately one million people worldwide die by suicide each year. This corresponds to one every 40 seconds. The number of lives lost each year through suicide exceeds the number of deaths due to homicide and war com-bined. These figures do not include suicide attempts, which may be up to 20 times the number of deaths. The economic costs associated with self-inflicted death or injuries are estimated to be in the billions of dollars a year. The psy-chological and social impact of suicide on the family and community is staggering. There is good news, though. Organizations across the globe such as ours are making advances in suicide prevention research, understanding and outreach. Despite the complexity of this phenomenon, suicide can be prevented. There are many crisis centers throughout the world that offer support by phone, email, forums and chat. Suicide prevention organizations, locally and across the world, are joining IASP in encouraging people to “light a candle near a window at 8:00 p.m.” on World Suicide Pre-vention Day -- Monday, Sept. 10 -- to show support for suicide prevention, to remem-ber a lost loved one and for the survivors of suicide. Please ask your readers for their kind sup-port in lighting a candle and, if they are in distress, to call a helpline or crisis center. This information can be found on our web-site at www.iasp.info. Thank you. -- Lanny Berman, Ph.D., ABPP, President, Interna-tional Association for Suicide Prevention Dear Dr. Berman: We appreciate the oppor-tunity to tell our readers about World Sui-cide Prevention Day. We hope they will light a candle near a window (although please not near flammable drapes or blinds) and remember those who have died. We also hope those in need will check your website. Dear Annie: I have been invited to the wed-ding of my co-worker’s daughter, whom I have never met. My co-worker has made it quite clear that he is expecting us to attend. At his first daughter’s wedding, he invited 20 co-workers and only one showed up. He was very upset. Am I obligated to attend his daughter’s wedding? -- RSVP Dear RSVP: You are not obligated to at-tend, although you might want to weigh that choice against Monday’s reaction at the office. While we don’t care for co-workers who pressure others to attend their person-al events, consider whether he wants your presence or your presents. If you would feel more comfortable, send a small gift with your regrets. Dear Annie: I was in a similar situation as “In the Middle.” My grandmother also made me feel second best, and I often re-ceived gifts that were not age appropriate. Your suggestion that Mom stay out of it and let the now-adult granddaughter thank Grandma for any gifts and share what she chooses is sound advice. That is what my mother and I have been doing. I would like to mention another possibil-ity. Perhaps the grandmother’s upbringing and culture could be playing a part in her behavior toward the granddaughter, since it did in my case. In some cultures, the older generation is still having a difficult time making the transition from their traditional ideas. In realizing this, I have become more understanding about my grandmother’s behavior and react with more compassion. She’s trying her best. -- Been There, Too Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Nasser KarimiAssociated Press

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s parliamentary speaker cancelled on Saturday a visit to Cana-da to protest Ottawa’s decision to cut diplo-matic relations, and Tehran’s foreign minis-try called “unwise’’ a five-day deadline set by Canada for Iranian dip-lomats to leave the country.

Canada shut its em-bassy in Tehran on Fri-day accusing the Islamic Republic of being the most significant threat to world peace. The sur-prise action reinforces the Conservative gov-ernment of Prime Min-ister Stephen Harper’s close ties with Tehran’s arch foe Israel.

To protest the cutting of ties, Iran’s parliamen-tary speaker Ali Larijani decided not to attend a meeting of legislators from different countries scheduled for late Octo-ber, Fars news agency said.

Tehran’s Foreign Ministry meanwhile said that Ottawa’s five-day deadline for its dip-lomats to leave was “un-wise.’’ It said Canada cut relations in an “unpro-fessional, unconven-tional, and unjustifiable manner while resorting to misusing internation-al law.’’

The U.S. and its allies are at loggerheads with Iran over its nuclear program, which the West says is aimed at developing weapons technology. Iran denies the charge, saying its nuclear activities are aimed at peaceful pur-poses like power gener-ation and cancer treat-ment.

Washington has not had diplomatic ties with Iran since the aftermath of that country’s 1979 Is-lamic revolution. Cana-da’s break with Iran re-moves another channel for the United States to get first-hand diplomat-ic assessments of Irani-an affairs. Canada and

Britain had been main conduits of information for the U.S., but Britain downgraded its diplo-matic relations with Iran after a crowd attacked its embassy in Tehran in November.

Foreign Affairs Min-ister John Baird gave a long list of reasons for Ottawa’s decision, in-cluding Tehran’s support for Syria’s embattled President Bashar Assad in that country’s civil war.

Iran’s Foreign Minis-try statement countered that Canada violated the human rights of Cana-dian First Nations.

Some Iranian ana-lysts said that Tehran is unlikely to push its feud with Ottawa too far, as Canada is a major place of residence for Iranian expatriates.

“Iran has a humani-tarian concern in this case,’’ said Heshmatol-lah Falahatpisheh, a professor of politics in Tehran’s Allameh Uni-versity.

The government’s move generated criti-cism in Canada Friday .

New Democrat For-eign Affairs critic Paul Dewer called the move bizarre and irresponsi-ble. He said the decision has removed Canada as a potential player in soothing tensions in the Middle East.

Canadian-Iranian re-lations have been dicey since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The Cana-dian embassy was closed for eight years after Canadians spirited American diplomats out of Tehran in 1980 during the U.S. hostage crisis.

The two countries gradually resumed nor-mal relations, but the thaw ended in 2003 after Zahra Kazemi, a free-lance photographer with dual Canadian-Ira-nian citizenship, was killed in Iranian custo-dy.

Canada described the killing state-sanc-tioned murder and re-called its ambassador.

LOS ANGELES — Clint Eastwood said the idea to use an empty seat as a prop at the Re-publican National Con-vention was a spur-of-the-moment decision when someone back-stage asked if he wanted to sit down.

In his first interview since his Aug. 30 appear-ance at the convention to pledge support for GOP presidential candi-date Mitt Romney, East-wood told the Carmel Pine Cone that his speech was not only un-scripted, it was pretty much spontaneous.

“There was a stool there, and some fella kept asking me if I want-ed to sit down,’’ East-wood told the weekly newspaper in the small California city where he once was mayor. “When I saw the stool sitting there, it gave me the idea. I’ll just put the stool out there and I’ll talk to Mr. Obama and ask him why he didn’t keep all of the promises he made to everybody.’’

Eastwood’s peculiar, sometimes rambling conversation with an imaginary President Ba-rack Obama in an empty chair set the blogosphere and social media ablaze. Reaction to his appear-ance generally has split along party lines, with Republicans raving about his stinging re-buke of Obama and Democrats ridiculing

Life-sized cardboard cutouts of Eastwood, John Wayne and Gene Autry have been keeping watch over Glendale for months as part of an effort by Los Angeles resident Justin Stadel to spur a conversation about public art.

him as old, angry and out of touch.

The 82-year-old East-wood said he set out to make three points and he achieved his goal.

“That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left, that Obama has bro-ken a lot of the promises he made when he took office, and that the peo-ple should feel free to get rid of any politician who’s not doing a good job,’’ Eastwood said in the interview, which was conducted Tuesday but not published until Fri-

day. “But I didn’t make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.’’

Political conventions normally are tightly scripted and Romney’s campaign aides had wanted details about what Eastwood planned to say.

“They vet most of the people, but I told them, ‘You can’t do that with me, because I don’t know what I’m going to say,’’’ Eastwood said.

Eastwood acknowl-edged his presentation

was “very unorthodox’’ but said he knew that would be the case.

“They’ve got this crazy actor who’s 82 years old up there in a suit,’’ he said. “I was a mayor, and they’re prob-ably thinking I know how to give a speech, but even when I was mayor I never gave speeches. I gave talks.’’

Eastwood said he was told to speak for five minutes but he said it was difficult to gauge time and there weren’t any signals or cues tell-

ing him to wrap up. He ended up speaking for about 12 minutes.

Romney and his run-ning mate, Paul Ryan, later came backstage to thank him.

“They were very en-thusiastic, and we were all laughing,’’ Eastwood said.

Eastwood, who stars in the upcoming movie “Trouble with the Curve,’’ maintains Obama doesn’t deserve a second term as president.

“President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people,’’ East-wood said. “Romney and Ryan would do a much better job running the country, and that’s what everybody needs to know. I may have irritat-ed a lot of the lefties, but I was aiming for people in the middle.’’

Despite all the atten-tion he received, East-wood hadn’t granted any interviews since his speech. Even his long-time manager, Leonard Hirshan, told The Asso-ciated Press he was un-aware Eastwood had spoken to the newspa-per.

“You’re telling me something for the first time,’’ Hirshan said.

Hirshan stressed that as a manager, he wouldn’t necessarily know about Eastwood’s dealings with the media. The actor has no publi-cist.

c a N a d i a N P r e s s

OTTAWA — A penalty of $250 US for smoking in a hotel room was among the expens-es charged to taxpayers by Bev Oda, Canada’s former minis-ter of international co-opera-tion.

The then-minister was dinged in 2010 for smoking in a hotel room during a trip to Washington, D.C.

Oda had been in the U.S. capital for a conference orga-nized by maternal health ad-vocates.

Her department confirms she expensed the fee, but paid it back two years later follow-ing a review of all her expense

claims.That review was in ordered

in April after The Canadian Press revealed a number of extravagant expenses on a trip to London in 2011, including a $16 glass of orange juice.

Oda resigned from cabinet and the House of Commons in July.

The issue of her expenses had become a thorn in the Conservative government’s side, with backbench Tory MPs reporting that they heard about her high-flying ways on the doorstep more often than any other issue.

Cabinet ministers are re-quired to publicly disclose

their spending on travel and hospitality.

The files made public for Oda show that expense re-ports for several trips during her five years as international co-operation minister have been amended.

But the details of why they were changed aren’t posted to the website.

Many had questioned why Oda spent so long in cabinet, given her spending habits. During the London trip in 2011, she billed taxpayers for the cost of rejecting one five-star hotel in London, England and rebooking at a swankier establishment at more than

double the rate. She also hired a luxury car and driver at an average cost of nearly $1,000 a day.

In 2006, she used limou-sines to ferry her to and from the Juno Awards ceremony in Halifax, racking up $5,475 in bills.

When the expenses were criticized in the House of Commons, she said she had reimbursed the taxpayer $2,200 of the bill.

A year later, Oda billed tax-payers more than $1,200 for another limousine ride that took her to both a govern-ment event and a party activ-ity.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting.You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.

Harry to complete 1st phase of training in Afghanistan

AssociAted Press

LONDON — Prince Harry is finishing his first phase of initial training at Camp Bas-tion in Afghanistan.

The 27-year-old Army captain arrived in Afghanistan for his sec-ond tour there on Fri-day but will not start flying Apache helicop-ter missions for at least seven more days.

On Sunday, the third-in-line to the British throne was expected to complete his two-day course in first aid,

shooting, and roadside-bomb awareness.

He then is to start Apache-specific prepa-ration Monday, where he will begin to famil-iarize himself with the helicopter’s configura-tions for Afghanistan.

The prince’s previ-ous posting as a battle-field air traffic control-ler in Afghanistan in late 2007 and early 2008 lasted only 10 weeks. It was cut short amid fears for his safety after his deployment was made public.

LONDON — Buck-ingham Palace says one of Queen Elizabeth II’s corgis, who took a star turn in the James Bond sketch during the Olym-pics opening ceremony, has died.

Monty and two other of the queen’s beloved corgis appeared in a James Bond sketch dur-ing the opening cere-mony, greeting Daniel Craig’s James Bond as he arrived at the palace to accept a mission from the monarch.

The palace on Sun-

day confirmed that Monty — who was pre-viously owned by the Queen Mother — had died. It did not provide details on when or how Monty died, or the age of the dog, but added that another of the queen’s pets, dachs-hund-corgi crossbreed Cider, also had died.

With the death of Monty, Queen Eliza-beth II now has two corgis in the palace — Willow and Holly — both of whom also ap-peared in the Olympics sketch.

Archeologists in-volved in the hunt for the wreckage of the Franklin Expedi-tion in Canada’s Arc-tic have discovered human remains they believe are from a member of the doomed crew.

Despite bad weather that has hampered some of their plans, the jour-ney has been a pro-ductive one so far, says the chief of un-derwater archaeolo-gy for Parks Canada, and it should get even better with the addition of an auto-mated underwater vehicle from the University of Victo-ria.

“Work is going well... (but) we haven’t found the ships yet,’’ Marc-An-dre Bernier said in a telephone interview after leaving the Ca-nadian Coast Guard icebreaker Sir Wilfrid Laurier last week.

What they have found in a search on land are more arti-facts from the ill-fat-ed expedition. At

Bones, artifacts found from Franklin expedition but, so far, no ships

John Franklin, leader of an ill-fated Arctic expedition which set out from England in 1845.

Erebus Bay, where at least a dozen members of the Franklin crew are known to have died, more human remains have been recovered.

“They did find a human tooth, and some bone and a toothbrush,’’ Bernier said. “These were really exciting finds.’’

Sir John Franklin set out from England on May 19, 1845, on a mis-sion to find the North-west Passage through the Arctic. He had two Royal Navy ships — the HMS Erebus and the

HMS Terror — a crew of 135, and provisions for what was expected to be a three-year journey.

In August 1845, two European whaling ships had a chance meeting with the Franklin Expe-dition as they waited to cross Baffin Bay to Lan-caster Sound. That would be their last con-tact with the outside world.

In 1859, a search party hired by Lady Jane Franklin found a mes-sage left in a cairn on Victory Point, King Wil-liam Island. The ships

had become trapped in the ice in Victoria Strait in late 1846, and re-mained there for a year and a half.

The message said Sir John Franklin died on June 11, 1847, and by the following spring an-other 24 members of the crew had perished. In April 1848 the rest of the crew left a note say-ing they were to set out on foot, for a destina-tion they would never reach.

There have been many efforts to find the lost ships, to no avail.

The 2012 Expedition being led by Parks Can-ada is a continuation of surveys conducted in 2008, 2010 and 2011.

Bad weather in re-cent days has hampered this year’s search some-what, but the addition of the automated un-derwater vehicle from the University of Victo-ria will help, Bernier said.

“Because of the na-ture of the environment, they had to do a lot of testing. That testing is done so it’s ready to join in the search,’’ he said Friday. “We’re in full op-eration now, and things are going well.’’

Dr. Colin Bradley, di-rector of the University of Victoria’s Ocean Tech-nology Lab, said the torpedo-shaped robotic vehicle is equipped with d ow n w a r d - l o o k i n g sonar to map the sea floor and detect any-thing of archeological interest. At about the half-way point, things are going well, he said.

“From time to time we’ve had to pull the vessel in because the weather’s been very rough,’’ he said. “It’s been an interesting couple of weeks.’’

BAGHDAD — Iraqi officials say a late-night car bomb has killed 11 people in a Shiite strong-hold in Baghdad in an attack that has brought the day’s death toll to 75.

Police said the car exploded outside a cof-fee shop in Sadr City, a poor neighbourhood that is the seat of power for one of Iraq’s most politically influential clerics and home to his militia.

Police were firing into the air to disperse the crowds after the 9 p.m. Sunday blast that wounded 20 people.

It was the latest at-tack on a deadly day of countrywide attacks that left 75 people dead and more than 300 wounded.

Officials at al-Sadr Hospital confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
