PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. —
A small plane piloted by actor
'< Patrick Swayze crashed Thursday
while trying to make an emergency
landing on a dirt road in central
Arizona, the Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration said. Swayze was not
injured.
Swayze was flyi^ a 1978 twin-
eijgine Cessna 414A from Van
Nuys, Calif., to Las Vegas, N.M.,
when he was forced to attempt an
emergency landing, said John
Slabes, an FAA spokesman.
FAA monitors who control that
airspace lost sight of Swayze's
plane on radar at 13,000 feet
around 11 a.m, and couldn’t contact
him by radio
A witness who saw the plane
make the emergency landing called
police, said Sgt.JLJ. Janik, a
spokesman for tWPrescott Valley
policy. The ,|fjhne apparently,:
sheared off its right wing after hit-
ting a light pole as it was coming
down near this town about 90 miles
northof Phoenix.
Swayze’s spokeswoman Annett
Wolf in Los Angeles confirmed
.Swayze had made an emergency
landing and that he was not serious-
ly hurt. She said Swayze has a
home in northern New Mexico, but
declined further comment.
Slabes said Swayze was the only
person aboard the aircraft.
It was not, immediately clear what
forced the emergency landing, but
FAA officials had been told it was a
pressurization problem.
Entertainer backs out
of children's festival
VANCOUVER — Raffi, the
Canadian children’s entertainer, is
pulling out of this week’s Vancou-
ver International Children’s Festival
because it’s become too cominer-
ciatr —~
“Arts for ypung audiences and
corporate ads don’t mix,” Raffi said
Wednesday.
The popular singer-author said he
was appalled when he went to the
festival site Monday and saw a big
display from Kia Motors, the Kore-
an automaker which is the event’s
largest corporate sponsor.
Raffi, whose full name is Raffi
Cavoukian, canceled the four per-
formances he was to give Friday
through Sunday.
Festival Chairman Jean Riou said
he was sorry Raffi had chosen to
end his long association with the
event, saying: “The festival regrets
that Raffi has chosen this means to
express his views on corporate
sponsorship.”

Henry said residents also can do
their part to help control the mosqui-
to population.
“They may not be able to tell, but
if they clean up anything that holds
water such as rain guttere,tedb#^(
potted plants and horse troughs it _
will decrease the number of mosqui-
toes,” he said.
Standing water and piles of junk
aren’t concentrated enough to. work
in an open atmosphere, he said.
“Bug zappers just attract mosqui-
toes to the light, but not oh the light,
and the only repellents that work are
the ones that contain the ingredient
dpet in them," Henry said.

“The lease has been executed,”
said Hillman. “We hope to be in
by late November. Our goal is to
open the doors in time for the
Christmas season. It looks very
favorable for our target opening
date,” she said. “We’re very glad
to be there.” • '
“That’s excellent news,” said
Mike Shields, executive director
of the Baytown-West Chambers

Foundation. “It is exactly in line
with the goals or our newly
