Integra leaves Cranbrook

Airline taking time off to draft new schedule, buy larger planes SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Integra Air is pulling out of Cranbrook airport for 18 months so it can restructure its service to better suit demand. “The occupancy level has actually been quite low, which is the concern right now,” Brent Gateman, the airline’s CEO, told The Townsman. The Lethbridge-

based airline began a Cranbrook to Edmonton route last summer, and has scheduled flights three or five times a week for the past 14 months. But the last scheduled flight will take off on September 7. Integra will then invest in larger aircraft that will allow it offer more frequent flights at lower prices.

Jackie Spain, President of the East Kootenay District Labour Council, takes a volunteer shift at the lunch counter at the Labour Council’s 11th annual Labour Day Picnic, held Monday, Sept. 3, at Rotary Park in Cranbrook. Canada has celebrated Labour Day as a national holiday for 118 years, but the picnic is one of few such events that recognize the contribution made by organized labour to Canada’s national fabric. Proceeds raised from the event went to support the Cranbrook Food Bank and the Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre.

A group that owns part of Elizabeth Lake Bird Sanctuary is in financial crisis and talking to other conservation groups to take over the property. Last week, the Canada Revenue Agency froze the bank accounts of The Land Conservancy of B.C. (TLC) after it failed to pay taxes on several of its properties for more than three years.

TLC is involved with 300 properties across B.C., totalling about 48,000 hectares. In the Cranbrook and Kimberley area, TLC owns property at Elizabeth Lake and Wycliffe. The 0.6 hectare Elizabeth Lake property was donated to TLC in 1998, and forms part of 249 hectares of marshland protected by the Ministry of Environment and the City of Cranbrook.

VANCOUVER — B.C.’s Human Rights Tribunal has accepted a complaint from a group that accuses BC Hydro of discriminating against people with certain medical conditions and disabilities. The group, known as Citizens for Safe Technology, says it does not want smart meters installed. It says its members have electromagnetic hypersensitivity or other disabilities and doctors have advised them to avoid wireless technology. The group says it has contacted BC Hydro about its concerns, and claims the utility did not

BC Hydro says the complaint does not qualify as a human rights violation and accuses the group of lobbying on behalf of health preferences and for political motivations. The company has said the smart meters are an essential upgrade that will improve public safety and monitoring of electricity consumption. Although the Tribunal has approved the complaint, it says the types of disabilities and medical conditions claimed to be affected by smart meters must to be narrowed before the case can proceed.

Low occupancy leads to Integra withdrawal Continued from page 1 Currently, Integra uses 16-passenger planes for the Cranbrook-Edmonton route. Gateman said it will use 32-passenger planes when it resumes the route. “It seems strange to add a bigger airplane with more frequency when you’re not even filling the airplane you’ve got right now,” said Gateman. “But it comes down to: is the reason the demand and the number of people wanting to travel? Or is it the fact that the travel isn’t at the time and at the price point that allows people to make it a choice? “We feel the latter is the case and that just means we have to come back at it at a different angle. Unfortunately, we’re not prepared to do that right away. We need some time to go do that and come back.”

Labour Day celebrated around the country C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Thousands of people took to the streets in downtown Toronto on Monday to celebrate in annual Labour Day festivities. The theme of this year’s march and rally was “Unite Against Austerity’’ and brought together members from various unions across the province. Parade organizer John Cartwright said it was important for workers to send the message that they will not accept an austerity agenda from the provincial government. “People are here to express their anger,’’ said Cartwright, president of the Toronto and York Region Labour Council. “The politicians are happy to give billions in corporate tax cuts and say to ordinary people, ‘You have to tighten your belts,’ while the rich are getting richer every day.’’ In the past few weeks, Ontario’s teachers have been in a labour dispute with the provincial government over new legislation that will freeze their wages for at least two years. The Liberals have also warned that other public-sector workers may also face a similar fate. Cartwright said the large turnout was a signal that the labour movement is still going strong in Canada. “This is a day about unions and our roles in society,’’ he said.

“It’s the labour movement that has taken poverty wage jobs in manufacturing, construction and elsewhere and turned them into decent jobs people can raise a family on. That’s been our historical role in society.’’ Those taking part in the parade included members of the Ontario Federation of Labour, Canadian Auto Workers, Canadian Union of Public Employees, and federal and provincial New Democrats. Federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair was seen marching through the crowd. “Today, we march in solidarity with our brothers and sisters and we dedicate ourselves to build, in Canada, a more responsible economy where no one is left behind,’’ he said in a statement. Teachers, paramedics, firefighters and energy workers were among those making appearances. Many were dressed in their union colours, waving flags and carrying placards. Some people marched, danced and bands could be heard playing up and down the four-kilometre-long parade route. Labour Day events were also scheduled in several other locations across the country. For more than a century, Labour Day has been celebrated on the first Monday of September each year.

Gateman speculated that it would take 18 months to make those changes. “It’s really hard at this point to be able to set a date. We hope that it is within the next 18 months, but no guarantees.” Larger aircraft will mean Integra’s costs per

seat mile are reduced, in turn meaning ticket prices will come down and there could be as many as two flights a day. “We will probably be looking at twice the frequency – a morning flight and a late afternoon flight would most likely be the schedule.

“But a lot of that is going to depend on some of the interlying connections we are trying to explore to tap into additional markets to help feed the service,” said Gateman. Integra hopes a new schedule will better appeal to commuters to the oilsands and

diamond mines in northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories. The airline will honour any current bookings, Gateman said. “The service will be cut off after the last booking. Everyone who currently has a reservation will be serviced.”

I don’t think anyone in the Cranbrook area has to worry about any of those properties. They are all covenanted, they are all secure, there are no mortgages outstanding on them,” said Penn.

Penn said TLC has started consulting with the network of 32 land trusts in B.C., who have expressed an interest to help. “We have been in discussion with a lot of conservation organizations. If in the event we did go down, there would be appropriate equivalent organizations.” The Canada Revenue Agency froze TLC’s accounts last month because the group was unable to pay property taxes. Last week, the accounts were partially unfrozen to allow the group to send money to the agency, and to pay staff. “It was bleak last (month) and it’s less bleak today,” said Penn.

Kimberley mayor pledges to work on flume concerns Residents register their worries about Mark Creek Flume replacement project at Thursday town hall meeting C arolyn Gr ant Daily Bulletin

Kimberley Mayor Ron McRae, city councillors and city staff were on hand last Thursday evening in the North Star Room at the Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre to update citizens on the progress of the Mark Creek Flume replacement project.

In the end, much of the discussion of the evening was around the removal of the St. Mary bridge and possible solutions to resulting traffic issues that will arise from that. City Manager of Operations Mike Fox presented a brief slide show of the construction, saying that at the moment it consisted primarily of

digging. He said work was proceeding quite quickly and this week a W-weir would be placed at the bottom end of the project and rip rap would begin arriving for the creek bottom. However, the majority of the questions from the audience were around the bridge. Why couldn’t it be saved or replaced? What about

the intersection at the top of Leadenhall where turns can be difficult? Both Fox and McRae explained that the current bridge was no longer considered safe. Fox said that he had been told to close it last year but was given a bit of an extension. It is at the end of its serviceable life, he said. It could be replaced

Construction is underway on Phase I of the Mark Creek flume replacement. The above photo is taken from Jennings Avenue across the creek. It was suggested at last Thursday’s meeting that this would be a potential site for a secondary bridge. but that would be cost prohibitive. Fox said the current bridge is about six or seven metres in length. Given the widening of the creek with the flume project, a new bridge would have to be longer than 20 metres. A secondary bridge is being looked at, Fox said. McRae said that the city would work with residents of that area to find the best location

for a secondary bridge. He said the fact was the St. Mary bridge had to be closed and it was important to work with the present situation rather than focus on the past. One resident, Gord Dobson, said he had been doing quite a bit of research, talking to delivery people, firemen, ambulance paramedics, garbage truck drivers and more. He felt a solution could be found. “We want to work with you guys,” he said. “The approach can’t be negative. We have to be positive.” Dobson said that in his opinion, and that of others he has been conversing with, a bridge at Jennings Avenue may be the best location. Fox said that site had been looked at, but he wasn’t opposed to looking at it again. There were potential access issues on the other side of the creek, he said. “The city has made no decision on the location of a secondary bridge,” McRae said. “We will work closely with those affected by this.” In the meantime, this winter the only access will be out through Leadenhall. Beale and Leadenhall streets will be put on the city’s priority snow removal list, meaning they will be plowed and sanded early and often. There was much discussion about the intersection of Leadenhall and Wallinger Avenue. Fox said the city was aware that it is a turn

with some difficult sight lines. “Highways is looking at the corner at the top. ICBC is looking at it. Our engineering consultants are looking at it. It’s not that we aren’t getting advice.” McRae added that there have been no accidents recorded at that intersection since police began computerized records in 2007. “ICBC has no recorded accidents at that intersection,” he added. Fox said the city had traffic counters in that neighbourhood and found that more vehicles entered through the St. Mary bridge and exited on Wallinger than the other way around. “We did the science as best we could on that area,” he said. Dobson also suggested that when a secondary bridge was put in, making Leadenhall one way from the top may be a solution. In the end the mayor reiterated his promise to work with residents of that neighbourhood. “It’s a work in progress,” he said. “Yes, we are all being challenged by it. But we are creative people and we can work this out. I commit that we will work through it with residents.” McRae also reminded people that while the flume project was primarily a health and safety issue, the naturalization of the creek through Kimberley would be a positive for the city in other ways as well.

Burning coal produces far more greenhouse gases than oil, as University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver has calculated. Two U.S. environmental groups, including the one fronted by Redford, have lately been promoting a study that suggests oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipelines. False, says the industry, showing analysis of pipes that have carried diluted bitumen for decades. The Trans-Mountain pipeline has been carrying crude from Alberta to Burnaby and Washington state for more than 60 years. It has periodically carried heavy crude for 40 years, and diluted bitumen for 25 years. Some of that crude is refined in Washington and the gasoline and diesel barged up to supply B.C. gas stations. And of course Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and all other B.C. islands depend on marine fuel shipments. And let’s not forget the most common heavy oil used in B.C. It’s called asphalt.

There were also some assumptions First, a warmer Arctic reduces the temabout what would happen next in the Arc- perature gradient between the temperate

and polar zones. That, in turn, slows the wind speeds in the zone between the two and increases the “wave amplitude” of the jet stream. The jet stream flows around the planet in great swooping curves, like a river crossing a flat plain, and those curves – Rossby waves, in scientific language – are getting bigger and slower. This is a recipe for extreme weather. In the old days the Rossby waves went past fast, bringing the alternation of rainy and sunny weather that characterised the midlatitude climate. Now they hang around much longer and generate more extreme weather events: droughts and heat-waves, or prolonged rain and flooding, or blizzards and long, hard freezes. The temperate zone has been seeing a lot of that sort of thing in the past couple of years – much more than usual. It’s cutting deeply into food production in the major breadbaskets of the planet, like the US Midwest and southern Russia, which is why food prices are going up so fast. And this was an “unknown unknown”: nobody saw it coming. All the scenarios that the military of various countries were working with assumed that climate change would hit food production very hard in the tropical and sub-tropical parts of the world, and that is still true. But the scenarios also assumed that the temperate regions of the planet would still be able to feed themselves well (and even have a surplus left over to export) for many decades to come. If Francis and Vavrus are right, that may not be the case. It’s a most unwelcome surprise – and it may be the first of many. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London

Bacharach partner Hal David dies at age 91 Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Hal David, who along with partner Burt Bacharach penned dozens of top 40 hits for a variety of recording artists in the 1960s and beyond, has died. He was 91.

100,000-plus campers break record at B.C. parks C anadian Press

VICTORIA — B.C.’s Environment Ministry says camping reservations for provincial parks this year have reached record numbers. There have been nearly 105,000 reservations so far this year as campers head into the Labour Day long weekend — passing the 100,000 mark for the first time. Environment Minister Terry Lake credits both the new online reservation system and a big investment into park upgrades for the record. He says increase in reservations helps the parks system, because the money generated goes back into support provincial parks. People can make campsite reservations at more than 90 of B.C.’s provincial parks and reservations for next season starting March 15.

After Eastwood incident internet users want actress to introduce Obama Brent L ang Reuters

LOS ANGELES - Social media users are petitioning to have Betty White introduce U.S. President Barack Obama at next week’s Democratic National Convention. Supporters of the move say the Hot in Cleveland star will be a good representative of older Americans following Clint Eastwood’s performance at last Thursday’s Republican National Convention. “Clint Eastwood, the Republican’s `mystery guest’ at the RNC, gave a bad name to older Americans everywhere with his absurd and awkward-to-watch introduction of Governor Romney,” the petition reads. “Governor Romney can have Clint East-

wood and his improvisational skills because President Obama has the one and only Betty White!” Eastwood’s bizarre, rambling address at the RNC became fodder for late-night comics after he debated with an empty chair that he pretended was a stand-in for the Democratic president. So far, the White petition on social networking site Change.org has drawn nearly 600 supporters. This isn’t the first time White has found herself at the centre of a social media campaign. In 2010, online petitions to get the sitcom legend to host Saturday Night Live resulted in a well received stint on the popular late-night program.

SPORTS BRIEFS No talks scheduled between NFL and officials’ union NEW YORK - Two days before the NFL season kicks off, no talks are scheduled between the league and the locked-out on-field officials. Both sides met for three days last week, but did not reach an agreement to end the three-monthold lockout. Replacement officials who worked the preseason games will be officiate the first week of the season, beginning Wednesday night with the Cowboys at the Giants. The league and the NFL Referees Association, which covers more than 120 on-field officials, are at odds over salary, retirement benefits and operational issues. The NFL has said its offer includes annual pay increases that could earn an experienced official more than $200,000 annually by 2018. The NFLRA has disputed the value of the proposal, insisting it would ultimately reduce their compensation. Associated Press

Canada adds two bronze medals at Paralympics LONDON - Canada added two more bronze medals to its total Monday at the London Paralympics.

Jeff Fabry of the United States defeated David Drahoninsky of the Czech Republic 6-2 to win gold. Later, Ottawa’s Jason Dunkerley and guide Josh Karanja won bronze in the men’s visually impaired T11 1,500 metres in a time of four minutes 7.56 seconds. It’s Dunkerley’s fourth straight medal in the event. Canada increased its medal total to 13 (three gold, seven silver, three bronze) after six days of competition. Canada sits 12th in the overall medal count and 18th in the gold-medal table. Canadian Press

KOOTENAY ICE

Ice reduce roster for preseason TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice have wrapped up training camp and pared their roster down to 29 players as the WHL heads into preseason action. Roughly 60 skaters, who were bantam draft selections or listed players with the club, attended camp over the last five days to showcase their skills in practices and intrasquad games. Camp concluded on Sunday with the annual Blue-White charity game, which showcased some of the leading prospects and raised $1,700 for the United Way. “It was positive,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill, of his camp experience. “I’m really excited about the future of this team with our young guys. I thought our really young guys— the ‘97 and ‘96 age group—have lots of skill and that bodes well for the future.” Prospects who stuck with the club include defensemen Kyle Krabben; Tanner Faith; Jordan Steenbergen and Matthew Thomas. Forwards who will get a taste of exhibition are Luke Philp; Kurt Johnas; Kyle O’Connor; Douglas Morris and Collin Shirley. Wyatt Hoflin was the lone goaltender to stay,

who will get some playing time in alongside veteran Mackenzie Skapski. Preseason is fast approaching with a tournament hosted by the Tri-City Americans in Kennewick, WA, this weekend. The Ice will get their first exhibition game in on Thursday, Sept. 6, against the host club, which will be followed by contests with Portland on Friday and Everett on Saturday. “The biggest thing, for sure, is making sure the guys we need to see play two out of three games, while some of them will play all three,” said McGill. “Now it’s different. Now it’s against other teams instead of your friends and peer groups so the intensity will be that much more and we’ll be able to see a lot more as far as character goes so it’ll be a good evaluation.” Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth and his staff are also tasked with the difficult process of evaluating five 20-yearolds for three open spots by the October 16, 2012, deadline. Over the course of the camp, players were broken up into three teams of Blue, Black and White and each played each other twice. The veterans were noticeable out on the ice with the visors on

However, despite age differences, the players let their skills do the talking. Douglas Morris, a listed player with the club, found himself on a line with Ice veteran Jaedon Descheneau and Collin Shirley, the club’s first round draft pick in 2011, during one game as they steamrolled over the opposition. Morris and Descheneau go back to their bantam years, as they lined together while playing for the Leduc Oil Kings, according to

“He scores,” Kazuik said, of Morris’ abilities. “That’s the bottom line. He’s an offensive guy, he scores a lot and you can’t teach that. “We’ve had him on our list for quite a long time now.”

Sports Dynamiters training camp wraps up Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters have wrapped up their training camp and are gearing up for exhibition action to cut down their roster before the beginning of the regular season in two weeks. The Nitros had roughly 30 skaters attend their main camp over the weekend at the Civic Centre in Kimberley, which consisted of rigorous fitness testing and intrasquad games between two teams. Camp finished on Sunday with the annual Red-Black game, which ended with a 5-5 tie in regulation, however, the boys put on a show and took the contest to a shootout. “We decided to go with a smaller camp,” said Nitro assistant coach Jordan Foreman. “Our summer camp we had about 75 players but we like to keep the main camp a little more competitive and only brought players that we know kind of have the chance to make the team. A lot of talent out there.” Camp featured a number of returning veterans from last year’s squad such as Jeremy Mousseau, Riley Stishenko, Corson Johnstone, Brett Luker, Olli Dickson, Jared Marchi, Jordan Bartusek, Taylor McDowell and Isaac Schacher.

NEW YORK - Still seeking his first Grand Slam title, Olympic champion Andy Murray reached the quarterfinals at an eighth consecutive major tournament by beating 15thseeded Raonic 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 on Monday night. Murray called it “by far, my best match of the tournament.” Raonic was equally impressed by Murray’s all-encompassing performance. “He took me out of the match,” Raonic said. “Not too much I could do. He just did a lot of things too good today.” The third-seeded Murray converted 4 of 12 break points and never faced one. After weathering six aces

Nitro defenseman Isaac Schacher takes the puck up the ice during the annual Red-Black game on Sunday night at the Civic Centre in Kimberley. Some new faces included Sam Nigg, a centreman who played half of last season with the Penticton Lakers and was a member of the Osoyoos Coyotes when the franchise won the KIJHL championship in it’s debut season back in 2010/11. “He’s a player I’ve had my eye on for probably the last two years,” said Foreman. “He’s a very skilled player, he’s won the league with Osoyoos. He can put up numbers but he’s also a really good shutdown forward.” Nigg, 19, bounced between three separate

teams last season, but put up 38 points in 43 games. Other faces came in from Alberta, as Foreman worked to recruit players from the Whitecourt Wolverines, which folded its Junior B team and moved up into the AJHL. Camp also featured some young local prospects such as Jason Richter, Aaron Shubert and Marco Campanella, who worked hard to make an impression on the coaching staff. “We’re very happy with our 16-year-olds,” said Foreman. “Tyson Klingspohn, out of Pen-

ticton and Jason Richter, from Cranbrook here. Both of them I think are going to be a huge part of the team this year.” Nitro head coach Roman Vopat credits Foreman, for doing most of the recruiting in the off-season to bring new blood to the organization. Foreman said Vopat, a former NHLer, along with former WHL coach Kris Knoblauch, are great recruiting tools when approaching new players. “Having a head coach and GM that has played in the NHL, ob-

viously has a lot of experience in the European leagues as well,” said Foreman. “On top of that, we have Kris Knoblauch, who is a great addition for us. I think me and Roman can both learn a lot from him.” Exhibition season opens on Thursday evening in Fernie with a game against the Glacier Nationals, an American Junior A team from Washington State. The Nationals played the ‘Riders twice last weekend, ending with a 3-3 draw on Saturday and a 2-1 Fernie victory on Sunday.

Murray beats Raonic in straight sets at US Open Howard Fendrich Associated Press

across Raonic’s first three service games, Murray only allowed eight the rest of the way. “You start to see things after a few games. He started serving a lot of big serves. I was just trying to react as quickly as possible,” Murray said in an on-court interview at Arthur Ashe Stadium. “Sometimes they fly past you, sometimes you get a racket on them - and I got a racket on them.” Raonic’s 14 aces were less than half as many as he accumulated in any of his first three matches this year at Flushing Meadows, when he hit 30, 30 and 29. “I used a lot of variation tonight. Milos has a huge game, massive serve. I had to guess on some of the serves,” Murray said. “I got lucky

a few times.” Next for Murray is a match against No. 12 Marin Cilic. Murray leads their head-to-head series 6-1, but his only loss to Cilic came at Flushing Meadows in the fourth round in 2009. “Really interesting for me. Another big challenge. Andy’s obviously playing really well,” Cilic said after his 7-5, 6-4, 6-0 victory over 50th-ranked Martin Klizan of Slovakia earlier Monday. “When I feel well,” Cilic added, “I feel I can match up with anybody.” Murray probably thinks the same way, especially with the confidence boost he picked up with his gold medal last month.

Chynoweth personally closed the deal on listing Morris a few years ago when he saw him playing in the same league as his son, Ryan, during his Midget AAA year in Alberta and brought his name up with Kazuik, who was already aware of the young player’s talent. Morris, Descheneau and Shirley were so effective together in the intrasquad game that Kazuik said he eventually had to break them up because they were so dominant.

“We have a small camp for a reason. When we invite kids, they’re there for a reason—to make the hockey club or make an impact because they’re pretty much handselected from the scouting staff.” Garnet Kazuik “Those two have been together for a long time so when they matched up on the line in that one intrasquad game, I had to get down there and stop it,” said Kazuik “But it was good to see that reconnection with them playing [together].” Matt Thomas came into camp on an invite

as an unlisted and undrafted player who spent his season last year playing Midget AAA with the Calgary Royals. “We have a small camp for a reason,” said Kazuik. “When we invite kids, they’re there for a reason—to make the hockey club or make an impact because they’re pretty much hand-selected from the scouting staff.” The two Czechs in Petr Vesely and Jakub Prochazka, both selected in the CHL Import Draft last June, managed to catch McGill’s attention, despite a bit of a language barrier as the two cope with learning English. “There is a language barrier, but once they got on the ice, I thought they both were really, really good at understanding what they needed to do not only in games but also in practices,” said McGill. “I think the biggest adjustment for them now will be off the ice on a daily basis where they’ve got to learn the language and they’ve tried really hard to do that and I think they’re fitting in well with their teammates.” Kazuik, who is based out of Calgary, will remain with the club during exhibition and a few regular season games to help the coaches finalize the roster, before heading back to Alberta to resume his scouting duties.

such luck. You are your own person. Tonight: Do for you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Assume a low-key attitude, and refuse to push yourself as hard as usual.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You initially could feel quite pressured by certain events and by what is going on around you. You naturally will loosen up and open up to new beginnings. Success comes out of your willingness to head in a new direction. Tonight: With friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to do something in a very different manner from how you have done it in the past. Detachment helps you see the big picture. Take in as much as possible.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I are trying to raise our three children in a traditional, conservative environment, but my in-laws undermine our values. We recently went on a cruise with them, along with my husband’s brother and niece and her live-in boyfriend. At one point, my oldest daughter didn’t feel well, so I took her back to the cabin for a couple of hours. When we found the rest of the family, they were having a drinkfest right in front of our 14-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son. Not only that, but they were buying alcohol for the niece and her boyfriend, both of whom are under 21. From the looks of the empties on the table, this had been going on for the entire two hours. Most of them were drunk. Mind you, my husband was taking part, as well, which infuriated me. But I was even angrier with my mother-in-law, because I feel that women should be protectors of their children and grandchildren, instead of enablers. My mother-in-law even made a point to tell our daughters that the niece had been living with her boyfriend for more than a year, which seemed to put her stamp of approval on the arrangement. My kids didn’t know this, nor did they need to. They don’t live near their cousin. My mother-in-law is well aware of the values we teach, but if I say anything, she says I’m judging her and being disrespectful. We spent very little time with the family for the rest of the trip because they wanted to party and we wanted a more wholesome environment. How do we handle this type of situation when it comes up again? -- Kids First Dear Kids: Please understand that you cannot control what other people do, only how you respond. You also cannot control every environment, so use these situations as learning experiences. Talk to your kids calmly about what’s going on and how you feel about it. Don’t vilify your in-laws, but be prepared for their continued inappropriate behavior. Your kids undoubtedly will encounter other such situations when you are not around, and the hope is that they will remember the good judgment and values you have taught them. And please stop blaming your mother-in-law. Your husband should have been the protector of his own children. Dear Annie: My wife’s uncle had a laryngectomy a few years ago. He now breathes through the stoma in his throat and also discharges phlegm through it. He doesn’t cover the opening with mesh. I hate to sound uncaring, but he constantly coughs into a tissue that he then lays on our countertops, dining room table or wherever else. This is not only unsanitary, but gross. When he leaves, we have to use antibacterial wipes on everything he touched. If we were to say anything to him about this, he would be upset and probably not speak to us again. We are running out of excuses to avoid his visits and hope he reads your column and makes the connection. -Germ Concerned Dear Germ: Someone who uses a tissue to expel anything should not leave it around, especially on a surface where food is served or where others have to dispose of it. This is simple courtesy. The next time your uncle visits, discreetly place a small wastebasket near him “for his convenience.” Dear Annie: This is in response to “Disappointed in Ohio,” whose girls’ group was resentful when one of the women began to bring along her new husband. I once belonged to such a group of retired women, which we named the “Silver Belles.” The time came when the husbands also retired, and sometimes, one of us would ask to bring our husband along. Instead of resenting it, we welcomed them and began to call our group the “Silver Belles and Beaus.” -- Chatsworth, Calif.

‘Green Mile’ actor dead at 54 Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Michael Clarke Duncan, the hulking, prolific character actor whose dozens of films included an Oscarnominated performance as a death row inmate in “The Green Mile’’ and such other box office hits as “Armageddon,’’ “Planet of the Apes“ and “Kung Fu Panda,“ is dead at age 54. Clarke died Monday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he was being treated for a heart attack, said his fiancee, reality TV personality Rev. Omarosa Manigault, in a statement released by publicist Joy Fehily. The muscular, 6-foot-4 Duncan, a former bodyguard who turned to acting in his 30s, “suffered a myocardial infarction on July 13 and never fully recovered,’’ the statement said. “Manigault is grateful for all of your prayers and asks for privacy at this time. Celebrations of his life, both private and public, will be announced at a later date.’’ In the spring of 2012, Clarke had appeared in a video for PETA, the animal rights organization, in which he spoke of how much better he felt since becoming a vegetarian three years earlier. “I cleared out my refrigerator, about $5,000 worth of meat,’’ he said. “I’m a lot healthier than I was when I was eating meat.’’ Duncan had a handful of minor roles before “The Green Mile’’ brought him an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor. The 1999 film, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, starred Tom

This Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2012 photo shows actor Michael Clarke Duncan in New York. Hanks as a corrections officer at a penitentiary in the 1930s. Duncan played John Coffey, a convicted murderer with a surprisingly gentle demeanour and extraordinary healing powers. Duncan’s performance caught on with critics and moviegoers and he quickly became a favourite in Hollywood, appearing in several films a year.

He owed some of his good fortune to Bruce Willis, who recommended Duncan for “The Green Mile’’ after the two appeared together in “Armageddon.’’ Clarke would work with Willis again in “Breakfast of Champions,’’ “The Whole Nine Yards“ and “Sin City.“ His industrial-sized build was suited for everything from superhero films (“Daredevil’’) to comedy (“Talledega Nights,’’ “School for Scoundrels“). His gravelly baritone alone was good enough for several animated movies, including, “Kung Fu Panda,“ “Delgo“ and “Brother Bear.“ Among Clarke’s television credits: “The Apprentice,“ “The Finder,“ “Two and a Half Men“ and “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.“ Born in Chicago in 1957, Duncan was raised by a single mother whose resistance to his playing football led to his deciding he wanted to become an actor. But when his mother became ill, he dropped out of college, Alcorn State University, and worked as a ditch digger and bouncer to support her. By his mid-20s, he was in Los Angeles, where he looked for acting parts and became a bodyguard for Will Smith, Jamie Foxx and other stars. The murder of rapper Notorious B.I.G., for whom Duncan had been hired to protect before switching assignments, led him to quit his job and pursue acting fulltime. Early film and television credits, when he was usually cast as a bodyguard or bouncer, included “Bulworth,’’ “A Night at the Roxbury“ and “The Players Club.“

Actor Russell Crowe rescued by US Coast Guard off New York Colleen Long Associated Press

NEW YORK — Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe lost his way kayaking in the waters off New York’s Long Island and was picked up by a U.S. Coast Guard boat and ferried to a harbour, officials said Sunday. The 48-year-old actor was kayaking with a friend and launched from Cold Spring Harbor Saturday afternoon on the Long Island Sound, according to U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Robert Swieciki. As it got dark, the two got lost and eventually headed for shore, beaching their kayaks in Huntington Bay, nearly 10 miles east from where they had set out. The U.S. Coast Guard was patrolling the area, and heard Crowe call out to them from the shore around 10 p.m., Swieciki said. The “Gladiator’’ actor and his friend, who Swieciki didn’t recognize, paddled over to the boat. The Coast Guard officers pulled them up and, along with their kayaks, gave them a ride to Huntington Har-

bor. “He just needed a little bit of help, he just got a little lost,’’ Swieciki said. “It wasn’t really a rescue, really, more of just giving someone a lift.’’ Swieicki said no one was injured, and the two men were wearing life vests. He said the actor, who was grateful and friendly, seemed like he was a fairly experienced kayaker. Crowe sent a Twitter message about 1:30 a.m. Sunday thanking the officers, and saying he was out on the water four and a half hours. “Thanks to Seth and the boys from the US Coast Guard for guiding the way...4 hrs 30 mins, 7m(11.2km),’’ he wrote. Crowe is on Long Island filming a new movie called “Noah’’ in Oyster Bay. The biblical epic is directed by Darren Aronofsky and scheduled for release in 2014. Crowe won an Academy Award for best actor for his role as a Roman soldier called Maximus in “Gladiator.’’

Prince Andrew rappells down Europe’s tallest building Associated Press

LONDON — Britain’s Prince Andrew has rappelled 239 metres down the side of Europe’s tallest building to raise money for charity. The 52-year-old’s stunt began on London skyscraper The Shard’s 87th floor and finished on the 20th, and took him 30

minutes. Following the descent Monday morning, the prince said: “I will never do it again.’’ Andrew was part of a group of about 40 participants raising funds for the Outward Bound Trust and the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund.

The prince — chairman of the trustees of the Outward Bound Trust — raised 290,000 pounds ($460,000). Following the stunt, Andrew told reporters the “difficult bit was actually stepping out over the edge,’’ but said his training with the Royal Marines had given him the confidence.

Hackers jam Swedish goverment, military websites Associated Press

STOCKHOLM — Swedish government websites were jammed by hackers for hours Monday, with some supporters of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange claiming responsibility on Twitter. The websites of the Swedish government, Armed Forces and the Swedish Institute were among those experiencing problems. Niklas Englund, head of digital media at the Swedish Armed Forces, said it was unclear who was behind the so-

called denial-of-service attacks, in which websites are overwhelmed with bogus traffic. But he noted that an unidentified group urging Sweden to take its “hands off Assange’’ claimed responsibility on Twitter. Assange has been sheltering at Ecuador’s Embassy in Britain since June 19 in an effort to avoid extradition to Sweden, where prosecutors want to question the founder of the secret-spilling WikiLeaks site over alleged sex crimes.

Red Bull heir accused of hitting cop with Ferrari Associated Press

BANGKOK, Thailand — A grandson of the creator of the Red Bull energy drink has been arrested for driving a Ferrari that struck a police officer and dragged his dead body down a Bangkok street in an early-morning hit-andrun, police said Monday. Police took Vorayuth Yoovidhya, 27, for questioning after tracing oil streaks for several blocks to his family’s gated estate in a wealthy neighbourhood of the Thai capital. He was facing charges of causing death by reckless driving and escaping an arrest by police but was released on a $15,900 bail. Vorayuth admitted he drove the charcoal grey sports car but said the police officer’s motorcycle abruptly cut in front of his vehicle, said police Maj. Gen. Anuchai Lekbamroong, the lead investigator in the case. Bangkok’s top police official, Lt. Gen. Comronwit Toopgrajank, said he took charge of the investigation after a lower-ranking policeman initially tried to cover up the crime by turning in a bogus suspect. Comronwit himself led a team of officers to search the compound of late Red Bull founder Chaleo Yoovidhaya, one of Thailand’s wealthiest men before he passed away this year, and con-

fiscated a Ferrari with a badly damaged front bumper and broken windshield. The victim, Sgt. Maj. Wichean Glanprasert, 47, was killed during a motorcycle patrol before dawn. Thai media reported that the car dragged the officer and his motorcycle for several dozen meters (feet) as it sped through the residential neighbourhood. Comronwit said he suspended the police officer who attempted to subvert the investigation. “A policeman is dead. I can’t let this stand. If I let this case get away, I’d rather quit,’’ he told reporters. “I don’t care how powerful they are. If I can’t get the actual man in this case, I will resign.’’ Vorayuth did not speak to the media but the family lawyer said the family will be take responsibility for the damages. The Yoovidhaya family was ranked the 4th richest in Thailand this year by Forbes magazine, with a net worth of $5.4 billion. Red Bull creator Chaleo Yoovidhaya died in his 80s in March, leaving his heirs a wide range of businesses, including shares in the globally popular energy drink brand, hospitals and real estate. The family also coowns the sole authorized importer of Ferrari cars in Thailand.

That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

NEWS

Head of Korean religious movement passes away Associated Press

GAPYEONG, South Korea — Unification Church patriarch Sun Myung Moon leaves behind children who have been groomed to lead a religious movement famous for its mass weddings and business interests — if family feuds don’t bring down the empire. Moon, the charismatic and controversial founder of the church, died Monday at age 92, two weeks after being hospitalized with pneumonia, church officials said. Flags flew at half-staff at a Unification Church in Seoul as followers trickled in, some wiping away tears as they wondered what would happen to a movement defined for decades by the man who founded it in 1954. The Rev. Moon and wife Hak Ja Han have 10 surviv-

ing children and in recent years, the aging Moon had been handing power of the church’s religious, charitable and business entities to them. But there have been reports of family rifts. One son sued his mother’s missionary group in 2011, demanding the return of more than $22 million he claimed was sent without his consent from a company he runs to her charity. His mother’s group eventually returned the money after court mediation. Moon’s death could expose further rifts within the church, said Kim Heungsoo, who teaches the history of Christianity at Mokwon University. The church has amassed dozens of businesses in the United States, South Korea and even North Korea, including hotels, a ski resort, sports teams, schools, uni-

versities and hospitals. One expert said the church’s business prospects appear brighter than its religious future. Tark Jiil, a professor of religion at Busan Presbyterian University, described the church not as a religious organization but as a corporation made up of people with similar religious beliefs. The church won’t give details about how much its businesses are worth, other than to describe them as part of a “multibillion-dollar’’ empire. Many new religious movements collapse after their founders die, but Tark said the Unification Church would likely survive. But its success as a religious entity will depend on how smoothly it resolves any family feuds and how well Moon’s offspring rise to fill their father’s charismatic

role, he said. Moon himself served 13 months at a U.S. federal prison in the mid-1980s after a New York City jury convicted him of filing false tax returns. Key to the church’s religious future is the Rev. Hyung-jin Moon, the U.S.-born 33-yearold who was tapped to succeed his father several years ago to serve as head of the church. Known as “Sean’’ back at Harvard, where he studied, he is more fluent in English than Korean and has signs of his father’s charisma but with an American sensibility. His sermons, delivered in English, are designed to appeal to the next generation of “Unificationists,’’ the name followers prefer over the moniker “Moonies.’’ He told The Associated Press in 2009 that he questioned Christianity when he was younger. But his father stood by him throughout the phase, and asked followers not to criticize him when he turned to Buddhism briefly. An older brother, Kook-jin Moon, a 42-year-old also known as Justin, runs the Tongil Group, the church’s business arm. The church has amassed dozens of business ventures over the years, including the New Yorker Hotel, a midtown Manhattan art deco landmark. Moon also founded the Washington Times newspaper in 1982. “Unification of South Korea and North Korea was a longcherished ambition of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon,’’ church official Kim Kab-yong said in Seoul. “He invested a lot in this. We are so heartbroken that he could not accomplish this.’’

AP Photo/Koji Sasahara

A woman walks past the picture of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon at a Unification Church in Tokyo, Monday, Sept. 3, 2012. Sun Myung Moon, who was born in a rural part of what is now North Korea, founded the movement after migrating south during the Korean War. He wrote in his autobiography that he received a personal calling from Jesus Christ to carry out his work on Earth. The church’s doctrine is a mixture of Christian, Confucian and traditional Korean values, emphasizing the importance of the family unit but also encouraging multicultural unions. Moon conducted his first

mass wedding in Seoul in the early 1960s, and the “blessing ceremonies’’ grew in scale over the years. He encouraged his followers to call him and his wife their “True Parents,’’ and often paired up the newlyweds himself before the mass ceremonies. The Unification Church claims 3 million followers, though ex-members and critics put the number at no more than 100,000. Church officials said Moon’s funeral will take place Sept. 15 after a 13-day mourning period.

Nigeria finds $150,000 worth of cocaine in roasted chickens Yink a Ibukun Associated Press

AP Photo/Petr David Josek

A rare white Indian tiger cub sits with its mother Surya Bara at a zoo in the city of Liberec, Czech Republic, Monday, Sept. 3, 2012. It’s one of triplets that were born in July.

LAGOS, Nigeria — The roasted chickens had an unusual stuffing — $150,000 worth of cocaine, according to Nigerian police. A Nigerian mechanic who struggled in Brazil for more than six years had hoped the drugs would buy him a life of luxury in his native land, Nigerian authorities said Monday. “This was like a retirement plan for him,’’ said Mitchell Ofoyeju, spokesman for the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency. The accused was arrested over the weekend at the airport in Lagos after he came in from Sao Paolo with 2.6 kilograms (5.7 pounds) of cocaine, Ofoyeju said. Photos from the agency showed egg-shaped packages wrapped in gold aluminum foil and tucked into

the browned chickens. The suspect, Vincent Chegini Chinweuwa, could not immediately be reached for comment as he remained in custody Monday. Nigeria is a major transit point for drugs coming from Latin America and going to Europe or the United States but recent security improvements are cutting into that dubious distinction. After a Nigerian man allegedly attempted to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner in 2009, Nigeria started installing airport scanners and sought training for its agents. Ofoyeju says the scanners helped authorities identify more than 100 drug carriers last year, leading to the seizure of about 410 kilograms (904 pounds) of cocaine, among other illicit drugs. Authorities have found

drugs sandwiched inside the fabric of suitcases, sewn into wigs worn by female passengers, tucked into underwear or hidden in phone chargers and even in a stethoscope, Ofoyeju said. “The list is endless,’’ he said. The weekend seizure may even redeem the agency’s image after the controversial arrest last year of a popular Nigerian comedian known as Baba Suwe. The agency held him for more than three weeks to monitor his bowel movements after a scanner detected what investigators believed to be drugs — but no drugs were ever found. His ordeal turned the comedian’s life into a potty-humour joke. The agency was later ordered to pay him $165,000 in damages — a court decision it is appealing.
