RCMP smoke out 25 forged gas contracts CANADIAN PRESS

Mounties in Cranbrook say they’ve uncovered more than two dozen forged utilities contracts and they’re

looking for more. The investigation goes back to last December after a business complained of irregular natural gas bills.

SPACIOUS FAMILY HOME – CLOSE TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Police say they determined that a number of businesses had contracts 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 FortisBC or Active Energy, but were sub-contracted agents working on commission. After the initial com-

plaint, police sent out 90 other letters to Cranbrook and Kimberley businesses asking them to review their gas bills. So far, police have

confirmed 25 fake contracts and are considering criminal charges of uttering forged documents against the two suspects.

Soren Johnson’s legacy of trees Ba rry Co ult e r

Descendents of the Johnson and Botteril families gathered 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 remarks, Mayor Wayne Stetski introduced Councillor Angus Davis, whose brainchild the Wall of Recognition largely was. Davis said the idea was developed four years ago, after a conversation with Johnson’s granddaughter June Botteril, who was looking for some recognition for her grandfather’s importance to Cranbrook’s arborial history. Davis said this led to dis-

Soren and Selma Johnson. cussions with Public Works Director Joe McGowan, who suggested creating a central space for such items of commemoration, a space which would attact people to it. A policy was subsequently developed, with criteria for being included on the wall — these included significant contribution to the community through involvement and service. And the rec-

ognition would also be posthumous. Davis closed off his comments with a quotation describing 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 Dakota. The Johnsons immigrated to Alberta in 1904, and eventually arrived in Cranbrook in 1913, with six children (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.

Olympian switch at JCI convention Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Many will be disappointed to hear that Catriona Le May Doan will not be speaking in Kimberley later this month for the JCI national convention. 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 Olympic Committee celebration for the athletes of the 2012 London Olympics in Toronto the same night. Instead, the joint Cranbrook and Kimberley 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 accommodating with us and helping us find a replacement for her,� said Mike Adams, event chair. “We are thrilled that it will be Steve Podborski 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 twotime Olympian and the first North American male to win an Olympic medal in downhill skiing. In 1982, Steve became the first and still only non-European male to win the World Cup downhill title. During his career, Steve was ranked number one in the world for more than two years and he won eight World Cup downhill races, more than any other Canadian.

Steve was named an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1982 and he has been named Canada’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 Olympics. The Climb will be held from September 19 to 23 at Kimberley Conference 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 Floridabased lawyer who survived a tragedy in 2009 when his brother-in-law killed four family members during a Thanksgiving 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

InspireHealth’s LIFE Program coming to EK Co n n i e Wats o n LIFE Committee Chair

Exciting news for our valley! InspireHealth’s two day cancer care LIFE program is coming to our valley on Thursday, October 4 and Friday, October 5. Although InspireHealth has been in existence since 1997, anyone wanting to take the program has had to travel to Vancouver to do so. Now a new venture, called Inspire LIFE BC, has begun to reach out to more rural areas of our province, made possible in part by additional funding by the BC Ministry of Health. The first out-reach program was held in Terrace in March with the second one in Kamloops in June. We are thrilled that we will be the third BC location to receive this program. Anyone who has been affected with cancer 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-

cer journey whether recently diagnosed, undergoing treatment or having finished treatment and wanting to learn strategies to prevent recurrence. The program gives participants the tools to empower them to improve their recovery and survival. We are pleased to announce that we have received financial support 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 September 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 Resort has graciously agreed to host this event in their new facility.

The program is designed to provide attendees with not only the two day workshop but with courses similar to those offered in their permanent clinics. These include: videos on nutrition, recipes, weekly online meditation and doctor consultations via Skype or by phone. Technology allows this connec-

tion with the InspireHealth staff and also provides members a personal connection. “The workshop was just what I needed after completing my treat-

ments in Cranbrook and the personal care InspireHealth has provided me has been very helpful with my recovery process�. In addition to the

Avro Arrow 201: On its last flight 201 extended the flight envelope to Mach 1.75 at 35,000 feet while the highest speed achieved during Arrow test flights was Mach 1.96 by Aircraft 202.”

Shot by the Arrow Storied aircraft suggested as alternative for F-35s

Submitted

C anadian Press

OTTAWA — A Canadian company is seeking to go back in time to help fly Canada’s air force into the future. Documents obtained by the Global News program ``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 project’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 exceed any current fighter jet and it is perfect for Canada’s needs. ``It’s an attack aircraft. It’s designed for attacking ground targets and its stealth is most effective against short range radar, protecting ground targets,’’ MacKenzie 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 intruders.’’ The plan to build an updated Arrow in Canada instead of buying

into an international deal for a fleet of F-35s was originally put before the Harper Conservatives in 2010 by a company called Bourdeau 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, compared 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 parliamentary budget officer, 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 dollars to the Canadian economy, the proposal’s author wrote. But in June, the government rejected the plan, saying too much money and time was required to execute it and the plane didn’t meet the technical specifications required. Meanwhile, the plans for the F-35s remain on hold.

Local highland dancers worked hard during the last week of August at the Annual Sizziling Hi-Cuts Summer School in preperation 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! The students are now working on their dances for the annual BATD conference in Miami Florda in October.

B.C. unleashes police watchdog on RCMP, civilian police forces C a nad i a n Pre s s

VANCOUVER — Starting Monday, police incidents in British Columbia that end in fatalities or serious injury will be investigated by an outside agency. The provincial Independent Investigations Office will open its doors, taking over reviews for incidents involving RCMP, 11 municipal police departments, provincial Transit Police and one First Nations police force operating in the province. The office fulfills the primary recommendation from public 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 Vancouver police after being ejected from the city drunk tank. B.C. Justice Minister Shirley Bond will officially open the office on Monday alongside IIO director Robert Rosenthal. Bond has said the office will strengthen the public’s faith in police by ensuring that incidents of death or serious harm are investigated in an impartial way.

A life spent with Jimmy PE T E R WA R L A N D

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) Alexander 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 amusement), 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 thereby 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 holidays 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 hitchhiking. 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 settled in Cranbook was the year that Kimberley 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 travelling. She had been one of the first Britons to travel to ‘The Continent’ after the war. She was a guide for adventurous hiking 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, generally had a good time. When we did finally retire from teaching 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 together, 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, Warland”.

Opinion/Events What a new Liberalism could look like M ic ha e l Den Tan dt Postmedia News

O

ne 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’ biennial policy conference last January was spectacularly devoid of fresh thinking. Hence the recurring obsession with leadership, most recently the intentions of one Justin Trudeau. Trudeau’s winning smile and 147,000-strong Twitter following, some insiders believe, are the only things standing between the party of Laurier and rump status, or oblivion, in 2015. But what if those assumptions about policy were false? Here are a few notions a Liberal leadership candidate could champion to decent effect, 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 consumption of marijuana and rationalize the federal govern-

ment’s approach to narcotics, keeping health, safety, addiction 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 justice 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 children. • Write off the long-gun registry as a well-intended but unworkable idea that cost too much and had no effect, beyond infuriating and alienating 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 outright 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 environmental policy built simply on protecting clean water, clean air, the oceans, fish and wildlife and the natural landscape. Then develop a human-scale renewable energy program designed around solar, microhydro, 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 resources into developing better batteries, for cars as well as houses. Abandon industrialscale wind projects except in very remote areas where no one lives. • Lower income taxes. Eliminate 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 proportional representation, perhaps 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 national defence focus overwhelmingly 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 complete abolition in a way that respects First Nations concerns 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 treatment for all under the law, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, language group or creed. Make it a bedrock principle and do not be afraid to defend it in the face of complaints by any who demand exclusionary treatment.

History made as first female offical works NFL game L ARRY L AGE Associated 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 following the final play. Eastin became the first woman to be an official in an NFL regularseason game, working as the line judge in the Rams-Lions matchup Sunday. “It’s a great milestone,” Detroit coach Jim Schwartz said after his team beat St. Louis 2723. “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 preseason game, and they’ll are expected to be displayed in Canton, Ohio.

The 42-year-old resident 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 groundbreaking assignment. “Commenting on individual officials is not something we do,” league spokesman Greg Aiello wrote in an email. “Her place in league history speaks for itself.” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said having Eastin on the field is a great opportunity 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 excited about that. “And there are more coming, by the way. We’ve been working along this path to try to properly train and prepare a female official, and now we have the opportunity.” 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 RamsLions game, but did set up a conference call with her in August. “I hope to show it really doesn’t matter if you are male or female,” Eastin said last month.

Other Dynamiter goals came from Eric Buckley and Sam Niggs.The KIJHL regular season kicks off next weekend, with the Nitros in Creston on Friday night.

KOOTENAY ICE

Ice thawed by Winterhawks, Silvertips TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice dropped their remaining two games against the Portland Winterhawks and the Everett Silvertips over the weekend at a preseason tournament in Kennewick, WA. The Winterhawks, fresh off their second consecutive appearance 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 Winterhawks, making 22 stops. Portland scored two consecutive goals in the first period on efforts from Taylor Peters and Oliver Bjorkstrand before 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 effort 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 assisting 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 threegame 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-handed 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 Descheneau 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 Silvertips to the win with less than a minute and a half to go. The Ice have returned home and will spend the next week sharpening up as a team and possibly making a few more roster releases. The next exhibition game will be in the Crowsnest Pass next Friday as the Ice and the Lethbridge Hurricanes meet halfway to do battle.

No new NHL labour meetings during quiet weekend ASSOCIATED PRESS

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

lockout. With less than a week remaining before the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players runs out, no new negotiations took place after an informal return to the table Friday.

There was hope that negotiations would resume Saturday or Sunday, but the communication between the sides was limited to phone and email instead. NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr, and his top assistant and

brother, Steve Fehr, sat down with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly on Friday 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 expires Saturday, and Bettman has said the league will lock out the players if a deal isn’t reached by then.

Celebrities bring curtain down on biggest-ever Paralympic Games Ste ve Dougl as Associated Press

LONDON - London’s spectacular summer of sports was given a rousing send-off Sunday. Coldplay and an allstar support cast brought the curtain down on the mostwatched and best-attended Paralympic Games of all time, ending 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 collaborated with the English rock band in a three-hour extravaganza at the 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium honouring the spirit of festivals throughout British history. Central to the ceremony - called the “Festival of the Flame” -

were the 4,200 Paralympians from 164 nations who sat around the field of play from the start. The past 11 days of memorable competition have shifted 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 Pistorius, the iconic figure of the Paralympics. A moving tribute to wounded British servicemen 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 stadium. Proud flag-bearers, including Montreal swimmer Benoit Huot carrying the Mpale Leaf, marched in before a motorcade of 25 trucks, in a variety of shapes including peacocks and fish, stormed the stadium. Huot contributed a medal of each colour to Canada’s total of 31 (seven gold, 15 silver, nine bronze). The procession kick-started Coldplay’s set list that artistic director Kim Gavin wanted 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

“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.” Oscar Pistorius up of 200 petals - is extinguished, 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 International Paralympic Committee. “Tonight, we are enlightened and armed with a superior knowledge of what can be achieved. The legacy of these games will be long-lasting.” The 2012 Paralympics have broken all records, 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 tennis player Esther Vergeer - who extended her nine-year unbeaten streak to 470 matches

by winning the women’s singles - and double gold-medallist British swimmer Ellie Simmons become household 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 parent, you think about all the things they can’t do, but at the Paralympics they are superhuman, you see all the things they can do. “It’s been a golden summer of British sport.” Such was the global attraction of performing at the closing ceremony 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 Paralympics 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 credited with changing the face of Paralympic sport in Africa, and Michael McKillop, an Irish athlete who won two middle-distance golds. The two were chosen 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 title McIlroy joins some elite Howard Fendrich Associated Press

NEW YORK - The weather was much better 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 rainstorm. When they resumed about 18 hours later, Ferrer held serve to take that set - and then Djokovic quickly took control, using the

brand of defence-to-offence baseline excellence 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 handled the wind much better than I did. I came into today as a different player.” In Monday’s final, Djokovic will face Olympic 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 Williams and Victoria Azarenka 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.

Novak Djokovic reacts while playing David Ferrer during a semifinal match at the US Open tennis tournament on Sunday. 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., giving him more than 24 hours to rest before taking 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 become the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win any of tennis’ four most important tournaments.

Serena Williams mounts comeback to win 4th US Open Howard 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 defeat, Williams suddenly regained her composure 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 championship at Flushing Meadows and 15th Grand Slam title overall. “I honestly can’t believe I won. I really was preparing my runnerup speech, because I thought, ‘Man, she’s playing so great,” Williams 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 reaction to her loss at the French Open in late May, the American’s only first-round exit in 49 career major tournaments. 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.

CARMEL, Ind. - Rory McIlroy beat the strongest leaderboard in golf this year Sunday in the BMW Championship and joined some elite company. McIlroy made backto-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 mattered, for a two-shot victory 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 established him as the dominant player in golf, with three wins in four tournaments 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 everything 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 Westwood tried to chase him down on the back nine at Crooked Stick, only to mistakes when they couldn’t afford any. Woods was never seriously 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 expertise will arise. Respond instinctively. 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 troublesome. A conversation with a family member finally makes an impression. Tonight: Treat yourself.

INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED

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. Tonight: 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 arguing or simply debating a key issue 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

For Better or Worse

associate could be explosive if challenged. Be smart; do not entice this person to be more verbal or expressive. Use care with spending -- you could go overboard. Tonight: What you want. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be taken aback by someone’s resourcefulness. You need to think through a decision with more care. Understanding evolves as you keep working through an idea with this person. Open up to new possibilities. Tonight: Tap into your imagination. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Deal with someone directly. How you feel and where you go depends on the quality of your interaction with this person. Pressure will build to an unprecedented level if you cannot see eye to eye. 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 someone 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.

Rhymes with Orange

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar 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 combined. These figures do not include suicide attempts, which may be up to 20 times the number of deaths. The economic costs associated with selfinflicted death or injuries are estimated to be in the billions of dollars a year. The psychological 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 Prevention Day -- Monday, Sept. 10 -- to show support for suicide prevention, to remember a lost loved one and for the survivors of suicide. Please ask your readers for their kind support in lighting a candle and, if they are in distress, to call a helpline or crisis center. This information can be found on our website at www.iasp.info. Thank you. -- Lanny Berman, Ph.D., ABPP, President, International Association for Suicide Prevention Dear Dr. Berman: We appreciate the opportunity to tell our readers about World Suicide 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 wedding 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 attend, 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 personal 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 received 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 possibility. 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 Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Canada cuts Clint Eastwood says he met his diplomatic goals with empty chair speech relations with Iran Associated Press

Nasser Karimi Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s parliamentary speaker cancelled on Saturday a visit to Canada to protest Ottawa’s decision to cut diplomatic relations, and Tehran’s foreign ministry called “unwise’’ a five-day deadline set by Canada for Iranian diplomats to leave the country. Canada shut its embassy in Tehran on Friday accusing the Islamic Republic of being the most significant threat to world peace. The surprise action reinforces the Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s close ties with Tehran’s arch foe Israel. To protest the cutting of ties, Iran’s parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani decided not to attend a meeting of legislators from different countries scheduled for late October, Fars news agency said. Tehran’s Foreign Ministry meanwhile said that Ottawa’s fiveday deadline for its diplomats to leave was “unwise.’’ It said Canada cut relations in an “unprofessional, unconventional, and unjustifiable manner while resorting to misusing international 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 purposes like power generation and cancer treatment. Washington has not had diplomatic ties with Iran since the aftermath of that country’s 1979 Islamic revolution. Canada’s break with Iran removes another channel for the United States to get first-hand diplomatic assessments of Iranian affairs. Canada and

Britain had been main conduits of information for the U.S., but Britain downgraded its diplomatic relations with Iran after a crowd attacked its embassy in Tehran in November. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird gave a long list of reasons for Ottawa’s decision, including Tehran’s support for Syria’s embattled President Bashar Assad in that country’s civil war. Iran’s Foreign Ministry statement countered that Canada violated the human rights of Canadian First Nations. Some Iranian analysts 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 humanitarian concern in this case,’’ said Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh, a professor of politics in Tehran’s Allameh University. The government’s move generated criticism in Canada Friday . New Democrat Foreign Affairs critic Paul Dewer called the move bizarre and irresponsible. He said the decision has removed Canada as a potential player in soothing tensions in the Middle East. Canadian-Iranian relations have been dicey since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The Canadian 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 normal relations, but the thaw ended in 2003 after Zahra Kazemi, a freelance photographer with dual Canadian-Iranian citizenship, was killed in Iranian custody. Canada described the killing state-sanctioned murder and recalled its ambassador.

LOS ANGELES — Clint Eastwood said the idea to use an empty seat as a prop at the Republican National Convention was a spur-ofthe-moment decision when someone backstage asked if he wanted to sit down. In his first interview since his Aug. 30 appearance at the convention to pledge support for GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Eastwood told the Carmel Pine Cone that his speech was not only unscripted, it was pretty much spontaneous. “There was a stool there, and some fella kept asking me if I wanted to sit down,’’ Eastwood 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 Barack Obama in an empty chair set the blogosphere and social media ablaze. Reaction to his appearance generally has split along party lines, with Republicans raving about his stinging rebuke of Obama and Democrats ridiculing

A life-sized cardboard cutout of actor Clint Eastwood next to an empty chair is seen overlooking a freeway in Glendale, Calif., Tuesday, Sept. 4. 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 Eastwood 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 broken a lot of the promises he made when he took office, and that the people 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 acknowledged 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 probably 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 running mate, Paul Ryan, later came backstage to thank him. “They were very enthusiastic, 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,’’ Eastwood said. “Romney and Ryan would do a much better job running the country, and that’s what everybody needs to know. I may have irritated a lot of the lefties, but I was aiming for people in the middle.’’ Despite all the attention he received, Eastwood hadn’t granted any interviews since his speech. Even his longtime manager, Leonard Hirshan, told The Associated Press he was unaware Eastwood had spoken to the newspaper. “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 publicist.

Penalty for smoking in a hotel room among expenses Bev Oda charged to taxpayers Canadian Press

OTTAWA — A penalty of $250 US for smoking in a hotel room was among the expenses charged to taxpayers by Bev Oda, Canada’s former minister of international co-operation. 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 organized by maternal health advocates. Her department confirms she expensed the fee, but paid it back two years later following 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 required to publicly disclose

their spending on travel and hospitality. The files made public for Oda show that expense reports 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 fivestar 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 limousines 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 taxpayers more than $1,200 for another limousine ride that took her to both a government event and a party activity.

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.

Harry to complete 1st phase of training in Afghanistan A s s oc iate d Pres s

LONDON — Prince Harry is finishing his first phase of initial training at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. The 27-year-old Army captain arrived in Afghanistan for his second tour there on Friday but will not start flying Apache helicopter missions for at least seven more days. On Sunday, the thirdin-line to the British throne was expected to complete his two-day course in first aid,

shooting, and roadsidebomb awareness. He then is to start Apache-specific preparation Monday, where he will begin to familiarize himself with the helicopter’s configurations for Afghanistan. The prince’s previous posting as a battlefield air traffic controller 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.

Queen’s ‘Bond sketch’ corgi dies A s s o c i at e d P r e s s

LONDON — Buckingham Palace says one of Queen Elizabeth II’s corgis, who took a star turn in the James Bond sketch during the Olympics opening ceremony, has died. Monty and two other of the queen’s beloved corgis appeared in a James Bond sketch during the opening ceremony, 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 previously 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, dachshund-corgi crossbreed Cider, also had died. With the death of Monty, Queen Elizabeth II now has two corgis in the palace — Willow and Holly — both of whom also appeared in the Olympics sketch.

Bones, artifacts found from Franklin expedition but, so far, no ships Dene Moore Canadian Press

Archeologists involved in the hunt for the wreckage of the Franklin Expedition in Canada’s Arctic 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 journey has been a productive one so far, says the chief of underwater archaeology for Parks Canada, and it should get even better with the addition of an automated underwater vehicle from the University of Victoria. “Work is going well... (but) we haven’t found the ships yet,’’ Marc-Andre Bernier said in a telephone interview after leaving the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker Sir Wilfrid Laurier last week. What they have found in a search on land are more artifacts from the ill-fated expedition. At

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 mission to find the Northwest 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 Expedition as they waited to cross Baffin Bay to Lancaster Sound. That would be their last contact with the outside world. In 1859, a search party hired by Lady Jane Franklin found a message left in a cairn on Victory Point, King William Island. The ships

had become trapped in the ice in Victoria Strait in late 1846, and remained there for a year and a half. The message said Sir John Franklin died on June 11, 1847, and by the following spring another 24 members of the crew had perished. In April 1848 the rest of the crew left a note saying they were to set out on foot, for a destination they would never reach. There have been many efforts to find the lost ships, to no avail.

The 2012 Expedition being led by Parks Canada is a continuation of surveys conducted in 2008, 2010 and 2011. Bad weather in recent days has hampered this year’s search somewhat, but the addition of the automated underwater vehicle from the University of Victoria will help, Bernier said. “Because of the nature 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 operation now, and things are going well.’’ Dr. Colin Bradley, director of the University of Victoria’s Ocean Technology Lab, said the torpedo-shaped robotic vehicle is equipped with downward-looking sonar to map the sea floor and detect anything 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.’’

Blast outside coffee shop in Baghdad brings Sunday’s death toll to 75 L ar a Jakes Associated Press

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

Police said the car exploded outside a coffee 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 attack 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.
