TIMES STAFF AND WIRES

A new Web site by the concessionaire at Arizona’s Grand Canyon National Park offers a wealth of information on lodging, dining, tours and shopping. It has a detailed map and a link to online reservations for the park’s lodges. The site is https://www.grandcanyonlodges.com. . . . SeaWorld San Diego visitors who buy regular $40 adult or $30 child admissions can get a “Rockin’ Summer Night Pass” that entitles them to unlimited return visits to the park after 4 p.m. through Labor Day. The park stays open until 11 p.m. with summer programs of music, ice skating and fireworks. . . . Talk about maneuvers: Mexico has sunk a 177-foot-long, 600-ton Mexican navy boat in Cozumel’s National Marine Park to help create an artificial reef in the popular snorkeling and scuba diving spot. Dive operators are expected to get certification for the new site later this summer. . . . A new fashion craze is threatening air safety in Norway: Teenagers are stealing seat belts to keep up their baggy trousers. “We’re taking this very seriously,” said a spokesman for Braathens airline, Norway’s largest domestic carrier, adding that an average of five belts per day are disappearing from the company’s planes. The airline said it is trying to find ways to affix the belts more securely to the seats.
