Armond will shine again Cranbrook interior designer buys the historic downtown theatre, wants to restore it as a multi-purpose centre S A L LY M AC D O N A L D Townsman Staff

Cranbrook’s historic Armond Theatre has a new owner, who plans to turn the neglected movie house into an art deco, Great Gatsby style function centre.

Local interior designer Jean Trimble bought the old theatre in downtown Cranbrook in a court-ordered sale on Monday, July 22. She takes possession of the building on August 9, and hopes to start renovations

right away.

“I’m so happy,” Trimble told the Townsman right after the court hearing. “It was tugging at my heartstrings and I could see the huge potential.

“It’s like a beacon and it will shine again.”

A court-ordered sale came about because the previous owner, Canadian Rocks Ltd, was not able to meet mortgage payments.

The Crown will ask for a sentence of at least 10 years for two Cranbrook men convicted of murder conspiracy and weapons offences.

A sentence hearing for Lorne Carry, Colin Correia and Lonnie Adams began Monday in B.C. Supreme Court.

Prosecutor Ann Katrine Saettler argued all three acted as part of a criminal organization, something that supports a longer jail term.

She said Adams was at the top of the gang and was sent to Cranbrook in 2009 to supervise Correia and Adams.

There is a stream that gathers itself, droplet by droplet, from the melt water that trickles from the north face of Fisher Peak.

From there it gains momentum, gravity pulling it down off the flanks of that lofty mountain, into the cool darkness of a valley of moss covered stone, cedar trees, and shadow.

With ever more urgency it rushes on, bigger now, its once quietly burbling voice raised loud in a frothing refrain. It is the song of Boulder Creek.

Yes that’s right, gentle reader, I have my own creek — or that is to say, it is from this little torrent that I derived my human given name. You see in my puppyhood I was cared for by humans with a connection to this particular creek and they decided to name me Boulder in its honour. It has a nice ring to it, if I do say so myself.

An unrestrained dogumentary.

Singing softly for now: Boulder Creek gliding over mossy stone just before her song gets loud.

Waitin’ for the old Dude: Sean and Boulder on the crest of Boulder ridge.

As the fates would have it, my now human pack leader also has an affinity to this wild little creek. He has made a multitude of trips into the drainage, exploring its length from where it joins Wild Horse Creek all the way up to its headwaters and the aforementioned droplets of melt water. He also enjoys traipsing about on the peaks and ridges that make up the rim of its basin and that is exactly where we found ourselves just a few weeks back.

Our pack that day was made up of myself, my human, and his son — a strapping young lad called Sean. It was my human who had picked out that particular name for the boy. A nice enough moniker, I suppose, but certainly not in the same league as Boulder. I guess I should count my blessings that my previous humans had far superior naming skills to that of my current dude.

Sean and his dad had chauffeured me up the rough old road to the trailhead in high style. They took turns driving the side by side, all terrain vehicle that my human had christened “The Toad” (again, naming things is not this man’s strong suit), while I rode in the specially outfitted rear. Padded with foam and blankets and surround by custom-made stock racks, it made for a fine commute indeed.

daily townsman / daily bulletin

A Pika peeks out from the lichen-encrusted stone of Fisher Basin were Boulder Creek is born.

The high road: A seemingly endless opportunity for ridge walking.

Once the Toad was safely parked, packs were shouldered and we began the steep climb that would take us to that day’s goal, the wide-open ridges on the north side of the basin. Due to the rigors of this particular expedition, Dog Tylor had stayed at home. Though her heart still yearned to play in the mountains, her old bones and aging joints limited her to less demanding jaunts. We boys, though, were up for it. At least Sean and I were.

After less than half an hour, the old dude was beginning to fall behind and by the way he was puffing, was probably wishing he had stayed at home, curled up on the couch with Taylor.

Before long, however, we reached the top of the ridge and found ourselves surrounded with breath-stealing mountain views. Re-energized with the adrenaline that such scenery can induce, the old boy picked up his pace and pretty much kept up with us youngsters as we traversed the ridgeline further and further.

The ridge and its possibilities for exploration seemed to go on forever. Unfortunately, as usual, we ran out of time before we ran out of ridge, and we began making our way back down the mountain towards the Toad.

Again, the old fella fell a bit behind and Sean and I had to wait for him, but we didn’t mind. It gave us a chance to catch our own breath, and listen for snatches of my namesake’s song, the sound of water over stone, that would occasionally drift up to us from the valley far below.

New life for the Armond Continued from page 1

Salvation Army to open dental clinic S a lly MacD on al d Townsman Staff

“I took it to heart that the Armond will always shine. I think it just needed some time to get ready for some new duds.”

Trimble’s vision for what will be called the Armond Grande is that the main floor will be a beautifully decorated multi-purpose space that can be rented for events such as weddings, parties, musical performances and educational programs.

“I’ve tried very hard to not get in the way of present facilities such as the Key City Theatre and the Studio Stage Door,” she said.

Upstairs, in what used to be Cinema 2, Trimble plans to create a piano bar with chef catering.

She wants to see fountains and greenery in the main space, with decor inspired by the 1920s, ‘30s and ‘40s.

“It will be quite beautiful when it’s done,” she said. “It will

The Armond Theatre, which opened in 1952 in downtown Cranbrook and which has sat neglected for many years, will soon have a new lease on life. have a lovely ambience. It’s a must.”

Named after the original managing director Armond Clark Blaine, who died during construction, the Armond Theatre opened on March 19, 1952. Its first film was “An American In Paris”.

The theatre was a Cranbrook hotspot until the late 1990s when the Columbia Theatre opened at the Tamarack Centre. As attendance dwindled, the Armond closed its doors in 1999.

Since then, it has passed through several owners, remaining a stand-out in downtown Cranbrook for its neon sign and the painted Pepsi advertisement on the building’s exterior.

A restrictive covenant prohibits using the building as a public movie house.

Trimble has spent quite a bit of time researching the history of the Armond, and she has been in touch with relatives of Armond Clark Blaine, who she hopes will provide photos from the Armond’s early days.

“Culture is a very big part of this whole thing, and the story of how theatre began here and the folks who did so much to bring it to the forefront.”

Trimble said she found a transcript of the speech Cranbrook’s mayor made in 1952 when the theatre opened its doors, who said the theatre would always shine in the

city.

“I took it to heart that the Armond will always shine. I think it just needed some time to get ready for some new duds,” said Trimble.

She has enlisted the services of Al Hubri Construction to take on the renovation work, which includes replacing the flooring and two broken roof trusses. Trimble says construction is scheduled to take eight months, but she hopes it will be less because she wants the grand opening to be a Christmas dance.

“We’ll be decking the halls for the community,” she said.

“I have faith that it can be done, but it will be hard work.”

People in Cranbrook with little to no income and no health benefits will soon be able to access free dental services at the Salvation Army.

This September, the church is opening a dental clinic in its existing building on Slater Road.

Those who aren’t able to pay for dental work will be able to visit the clinic for pain control procedures such as tooth extraction and root canal, infection control, and hygienist services. The clinic is not set up to provide fillings.

“Based on what we know from people we deal with on a regular basis, oral health is pretty significant,” said the Salvation Army’s Captain Kirk Green.

Often people will come to the Salvation Army seeking help paying for things like hydro bills and rent, but won’t mention dental problems, pointed out Nancy Zier, community ministry worker.

“The last thing on their list is this thumping pain in their mouth,” she said.

For that reason, it’s hard for the Salvation Army to say how great the need is for the clinic. But Capt.

Green estimated the clinic will see 360 patients in its first year.

The clinic will be entirely run by volunteers. Dr. Astarte “Dale” Sellars, a semi-retired dentist who works out of Cranbrook Dental Centre, will volunteer her time, as will a dental hygienist and a certified assistant.

At first, the clinic will be open 15 hours a month, which will work out to be a couple of afternoons and an evening each week.

Carry were found guilty of murder conspiracy as well as weapons charges.

The events in Cranbrook centred on a plan of revenge to kill a Kootenay drug rival, following a shooting outside a bar late in 2009.

While the Crown is arguing for a stiffer sentence based on the three acting as part of a

criminal organization, all of them will escape the Conservative government’s Truth in Sentencing Act brought in at the time the crimes were underway. That means that Adams and Correia, who have been in jail since October 2010, will receive twofor-one credit for time served in custody.

In effect, they have served more than five

years jail time, according to the custom of the courts before the act was brought in.

Defence lawyer Don Campbell, who acts for Adams — convicted of the lesser charges — is expected to argue that his client should be released from jail based on time served.

The hearing is scheduled through Friday.

vided a $16,500 grant to the Salvation Army to cover start-up costs, but they have been lucky enough to have some equipment donated by a retired dentist.

Patients for the dental clinic will first meet with Salvation Army staff, who will ensure the patient has no other means to receive dental care.

Then an appointment will be scheduled.

The only money the clinic will accept is from government social assistance. For instance, if a patient is eligible to have part of the dental work paid for by the government, the clinic will accept that funding, but it will not bill the patient for the remainder.

The working poor who are not eligible for social assistance and do not have health benefits will be able to use the clinic free of charge.

Those with health benefits are not eligible to use the clinic because it is not set up to make claims to health care providers.

At first, the modest clinic will consist of one chair in a room at the Salvation Army.

However, Capt. Green hopes that if the B.C. government provides funding for a new homeless shelter planned for Cranbrook, the clinic will move into that new location.

The hours may be expanded if more dental professionals come forward to donate their time.

The clinic will open at the end of September. Starting September 1, people who think they might benefit from the clinic’s services can call the Salvation Army at 250-426-3612.

Any licensed dental professionals who are interested in getting involved are also encouraged to get in touch.

This year’s JulyFest can only be called ‘the best of the best of the fests’ says Kimberley Chamber President Darren Close after a hugely successful weekend.

And the Kimberley RCMP agree, with Cpl. Chris Newel reporting that the crowds were well behaved and everyone had a great time.

“We had a great weekend,” Close said.

“All the musicians did a great job — special thanks to Ray’s Music for the audio and keeping the show going Saturday night after a sensational 54-40 performance.

Michelle ‘Blondie’ Nex did an amazing job keeping the bocce pits running smoothly.

“J-fest coordinator, Dave ‘Clarkey’ Clarke and Chamber GM Mike Guarnary worked tirelessly throughout the weekend to pull together this hugely successful event. We at the Chamber want to express our utmost appreciation to all the volun-

wanted to carry on. Unfortunately their neighbours were not invited so they decided to invite the police. Again, everybody was good about it and hopefully everybody was able to sleep.”

East Kootenay Traffic Services helped out with road checks and Newel says they were busy.

“Several impaired drivers were taken off the road. A large number of people were seen walking home, others waiting patiently for a taxi, but at least four decided to drive that shouldn’t have. They are now prohibited from driving for a period of 90 days. Costly endeavour.”

While Newel says that some people might think there were more police than required, it’s best to plan for the worst and hope for the best.

“The officers prepare well in advance, working with event organizers to ensure adequate coverage at the venues.

Every officer is on the schedule and a number of officers are brought in from other detachments to help out. Traffic services sent a contingent of officers to conduct traffic enforcement. Officers are scheduled throughout the day and night with the peak number working the night shifts.”

Letters to the Editor Ultrasound

Your paper recently included a flyer which asks in bold letters: “Are YOU at risk for a Stroke?” We are then informed that “stroke screening” was coming to Cranbrook on July 22.

This company is one of many worldwide which is making money by frightening people who have no symptoms into paying for ultrasound imaging of their arteries. What is not said is that there is no evidence that treating an ultrasound image improves life expectancy or prevents stroke.

For further information on why this is so, visit the website www. privatehealthscreen.org. This website was set up by British physicians who were concerned about the adverse consequences of ultrasound “screening” such as this.

Anyone concerned about stroke or cardiovascular disease can consult their family doctor and obtain appropriate advice and treatment in B.C.

Ultrasound imaging of vessels is available when medically indicated. The general public should avoid using “services” which are not medically indicated. Screening for disease is a complex issue, and testing which has been shown to be effective is part of our public health system (pap smears, fecal occult blood, etc).

Routine ultrasound imaging of vessels on people without symptoms has been shown to be of no value.

What IS of value is discussing your health with your doctor and following recommendations to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (including stroke) by controlling blood pressure, obesity and diabetes and getting regular exercise.

Past experiments

Last Thursday (July 18) I was enjoying making dinner

while listening to the radio, when the announcer broadcast his opinion that basically First Nations are not justified in seeking an apology for recent revelations that aboriginal children interned in Mission Schools were used as unwitting guinea pigs for nutritional experiments, as the government already apologized years ago and an apology does nothing anyway. I was rather startled at having this offensive opinion broadcast to the community with no opportunity for rebuttal.

Firstly Mr. DJ, the apology issued by the government after many years of lobbying was for the child abductions, horrendous conditions, gross negligence, horrific abuse, and tragic loss of life suffered by aboriginal communities. It in no way accommodated the recently uncovered secret that they were used for medical experiments.

Perhaps you do not fully grasp the gravity of the effect of cultural genocide and how

much pain this new revelation brings to First Nations communities. However your trite opinion that ‘they really don’t need another apology’ seems unkind and arrogant at the very least.

One of the first steps in healing is an admission from the offending party and sincere apology for their actions. Why is it so difficult to acknowledge that tragic wrongs were done, which were ill-founded and completely regrettable? Why shouldn’t First Nations get an apology for it?

It is unfortunate that such an ignorant, defensive, and compassionless mindset exists amongst some non-aboriginal people. I do not feel it is appropriate for the radio to broadcast such ignorance. I really do not appreciate being subjected to such drivel. With so many great internet radio stations, there are many other options!

Can the Motor City rise again?

A s it happens, I was in Detroit this month. I went to see the art and the architecture, domains in which Detroit is still one of the richest cities in the United States. It’s broken, and it’s broke, and now it’s officially bankrupt too. But bankruptcy is actually a device for escaping from unpayable debt.

All over the world, Detroit’s bankruptcy is being used as an excuse to pore over what’s sometimes called “ruin porn”: pictures of the rotting, empty houses that still stand and the proud skyscrapers that have already been torn down. There’s even a self-guided tour of “the ruins of Detroit” available on the internet: people take a melancholy pleasure in contemplating the calamitous fall of a once-great city.

Two-thirds of Detroit’s population have fled in the past fifty years, but there were specific reasons why Detroit fell into decline, and there are also reasons to believe that it could flourish again – not as a major manufacturing centre, perhaps, but “major manufacturing centres” probably don’t have a bright long-term future anywhere.

There are other ways to flourish, and Detroit has some valuable resources.

The events that triggered the city’s decline are well known. Large numbers of African-Americans from the southern states migrated to Detroit to meet the demand for factory workers during and after the Second World War. Being mostly unskilled, they started in the worst jobs — and even after they had acquired the skills, they stayed in low-paying jobs because of racial prejudice.

Spurned by the unions and victimised by a racist police force, they eventually rioted in the summer of 1967. Brutal policing made matters worse and hundreds were killed, but the worst consequence

was the fear that the violence engendered.

The great majority of the whites just left left town I first went to Detroit a couple of months after the riots, and driving into the city the fear was actually visible. The traffic lights are spaced far apart on Woodward Avenue, and as each light turned green all the cars would accelerate away — and then, if the next light was still red, they would slow more and Gwynne more until they were barely crawling, but they dared Dyer not stop for fear of being attacked.

Then, finally, the light would turn green, and they would race away through the intersection — only to go through the whole process again as they approached the next light. It was this unreasoning fear that caused the massive “white flight” to the suburbs and the hollowing out of Detroit.

The big automobile companies also took fright, and the new car plants were built elsewhere. As the jobs disappeared and the population dropped, the tax base fell even faster, for most of the people left behind in the city were poor or unemployed African-Americans. The city could no longer afford to provide good police or medical services, so even more people left.

This vicious circle has lasted half a century, exacerbated by much corruption and maladministration. This month’s declaration of bankruptcy is a brutal measure, for much of the debt being repudiated is the pensions of city employees, but it may give the city’s government enough leeway to begin rebuilding public services. If they are restored, much else could follow.

Let me explain what brought me to Detroit early this month. We were doing what we dubbed the “Rust Belt Art and Architecture Tour”: driving from Buffalo to Cleveland and then to Detroit, ending up

TUESday, JULY 23, 2013 Page 5

in Chicago.

All these cities took a terrible beating as the industries they were built on died or moved overseas (except Chicago, which is “too big to fail”). But three generations ago, when they were the industrial heartland of the United States, they were very rich – at just the right time.

The first decades of the 20th century were the heyday of art deco, the most beautiful architectural style of the modern era. That was also the period when newly rich captains of industry could scoop up bucket-loads of new European and American art: impressionist, expressionist, abstract, the lot — and they lived mostly in what are now the Rust Belt cities.

So they put up dozens of art deco towers: the Guaranty Building in downtown Detroit is my candidate for the world’s most beautiful office building. They filled their homes with best of modern art – and, in the end, donated most of it to the local art galleries. Even in Detroit, where so much has been lost, more than half of those buildings are still there. So is all of the art.

Other cities would kill for these assets.

In a post-industrial economy where people have more choice about where they live, they are assets that can actually attract population – especially since, in Detroit’s case, the people who left didn’t go far. Most of them are still out there in the suburbs that surround Detroit.

The city of Detroit’s population has fallen from 2 million to 700,000 over the past fifty years, but the metropolitan area’s population has stayed stable at around four and a half million for all of that time.

The job, really, is to bridge the devastated middle ring of low-income Detroit housing and reconnect the outer suburbs with the city centre. Detroit can rise again. It just takes the right strategy.

Green MLA on coal and controversy After climate scientist-turned-Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver had a taste of debate in the B.C. legislature, I asked him for his impressions on that and other issues.

Excerpts from that discussion: TF: You did a study comparing burning all the world’s coal reserves and all oil reserves, showing how big coal really is. The federal government says that when you add up what’s actually being used in North America, carbon emissions from coal are about 30 times more than from oil.

Now we have a symbolic coal export ban in Vancouver, which doesn’t apply to Port Moody or Point Roberts or Prince Rupert. Do you think there’s any significance to this?

AW: There is no question that the biggest issue around is coal, because coal use is on the rise world-wide. Not in the United States, because they’re converting [power production] to natural gas. This is why American producers are saying, let’s ship it to Asia. California says no, Oregon says no, Washington says no. Vancouver says no, British Columbia, not sure.

It’s pushing us to start thinking about what I think is going to be the greatest industrial revolution the world has ever seen, which is transformation of energy systems away from our combustion approach, which is essentially what we’ve been doing since we were in caves. We’ve gone from burning wood to now fossil wood, and fossil plants and fossil algae, to a much more modern era of production of energy through natural means, solar, wind, geo-

thermal etc.

TF: Liquified natural gas. The NDP says they are absolutely in favour of that now.

AW: I have questioned the economics of it from day one. There’s a market differential that exists now. There’s that small window because Japan is moving from nuclear to natural gas. But we’re way behind everyone else.

TF: Thirty years ago, Japan played Australia and B.C. off for metallurgical BC VIEWS coal. Those northeast B.C. coal mines are back up and Tom running again, but you’re Fletcher seeing a similar thing here?

AW: Yes. And if we start shipping natural gas to Asia … the Asian price comes down, the North American price goes up. British Columbians haven’t been told that.

TF: How has the legislature session been for you?

AW: I sit there and watch the two parties. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. And I hope more British Columbians watch this, because this needs to change. And I think it can change.

TF: The NDP opposition decides when you and Delta South Independent Vicki Huntington get your occasional moments in question period?

AW: Yes, and if I’ve asked it’s been no problem.

TF: Grudgingly no doubt. If the NDP had their way, the closest Green Party member would be in Holland.

AW: [Laughs] Yes. Certainly not in North America. There’s this sense of enti-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver tlement within the NDP to the ‘green’ vote.

And I sense that the B.C. Liberals very much like our existence, as being not NDP. The reality is, we take as many Liberal votes, if not more. It’s because what it means to be ‘green’ has moved out of what the NDP view as green, which is a tree hugger. It’s kids going to school, talking about conservation, and going home to talk to their parents. That’s where our votes are coming from.

TF: Are you going to be found standing in front of a coal train any time soon?

AW: No, never. They asked me to, and I said no, because I don’t believe in civil disobedience.

SPORTS BRIEFS Kootenay Ice captain tops NHL Central Scouting list

TREVOR CRAWLEY PHOTO

Jake Walmsley, far right, celebrates a goal scored by Ross Hartell of the Cranbrook Unicorns FC during a game against the Nelson Net Predators at the JulyFest soccer tournament on Saturday afternoon.

Unicorns felled in JulyFest final TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

For the first time in 16 years, a Cranbrook team made it into the JulyFest soccer tournament ‘A’ division final, but couldn’t fight their way to the championship in a 3-0 loss to a team out of Idaho.

Following a round robin record of a win and two losses, the Unicorns FC headed into elimination games on Sunday with a win over Tizoc’s Warriors and the Nelson Net Preda-

tors, which put them into the final against the Green Monarchs.

“The gas tank’s a little on empty by that sixth game and it just wasn’t there, it wasn’t clicking for us, we had a couple bad bounces and we lost in the finals,” said AJ Wheaton.

Led from the midfield by Chris Rushworth, who was named the team MVP after the final game, the Unicorns tried to be the first local team to win the tournament since

1997.

The Unicorns lost their opener to the Montana Rapids, but rebounded against the Net Predators. They closed out the round-robin with an-

other loss to their eventual opponents in the final.

However, the Unicorns hit their stride on Sunday, blitzing past two teams for a rematch with the Green Monarchs.

“It was quick-paced game, quite quick actually. Those boys are fast, it was mostly middle of the field, middle of the pitch play,” said Wheaton.

“But it was a fastpaced game, lots of subs and the heat was

just intense. The boys were running on E, mostly pushing through on heart, I think.”

The women’s team, playing as the Narwals, made it into the semifinals, as they also participated in the ‘A’ division.

A few other local teams played in both the men and women’s ‘B’ and ‘C’ and Masters divisions, as the tournament featured 61 squads that came in from B.C., Alberta and the northern U.S.

Roller derby makes JulyFest debut TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Roller Derby made its debut at the Kimberley Civic Centre on Friday night as part of the JulyFest-ivities and it came right down to the wire as the bout was decided in the final minute when the Meanie Pachinis completed a 174172 comeback against the Belles of the Balls.

Decked out in red, the Belles of the Balls hit the track and built up a commanding lead, while the Meanie Pachinis, in green, chipped

away to end the first half at a score of 89-73.

The Belles of the Balls kept up their dominance for much of the second half, but the Meanie Pachinis were able to close the gap to within a ten-point spread with two minutes to go.

The Meanie Pachinis pulled out all the stops and the team’s jammer deftly moved through the pack in order to make up the remaining points by the time the clocked ticked down to end the bout.

The NHL’s Central Scouting 2013-14 list has been released and Kootenay Ice captain Sam Reinhart sits on the top.

The list is comprised of players that Central Scouting believes are first, second or third round potential in the 2014 NHL Draft.

Reinhart has spent the last two seasons with the Kootenay Ice, setting records as a 16-year-old rookie two years ago and leading the team in points last year, with 35 goals and 50 assists.

Reinhart’s two older brothers, Max and Griffin, have already been through the draft process, as Max was taken in the third round in 2010, while Griffin was selected fourth overall in 2012.

“He has a complete game at both ends of the ice,” said Central Scouting’s Peter Sullivan. “He does everything well. He won’t get you overly excited, but from a coaching perspective, he’s the guy you want on the ice in critical situations. He’s your go-to guy and team leader and is just going to be consistent at the junior level, and eventually the pro level.”

Also appearing on the list among 14 other WHLers is Kootenay Ice defenceman Tanner Faith, who just finished his rookie season last year, playing most of it alongside veteran WHL graduate Joey Leach.

Braun suspended for rest of season for drug violations NEW YORK - Former National League MVP Ryan Braun was suspended without pay for the rest of the season and the post-season Monday in the first penalty following Major League Baseball’s investigation of the Florida clinic accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs.

Braun accepted the penalty.

“I am not perfect. I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions,” he said in a statement.

MBL attempted to suspend Braun for a positive drug test following the 2011 season, but an arbitrator overturned the penalty because the Milwaukee star’s urine sample was not handled as specified by baseball’s drug agreement.

Braun, injured Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and more than a dozen players were targeted by MLB following a report by Miami New Times in January that they had been connected with Biogenesis of America, a now-closed anti-aging clinic.

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig announced the penalty Monday, citing Braun for multiple unspecified “violations” of baseball’s drug program and labour contract. Braun will miss the Milwaukee Brewers’ final 65 games without pay, costing him about $3 million of his $8.5 million salary.

A powerful tool when you want to reach your potential customers.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might feel pulled in two seemingly opposite directions.

You will wonder which way would be best to go. If you can’t decide, you could do the unexpected and end up surprising yourself. Reactions come from your immediate circle. Tonight: Where your friends are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Make it OK not to be rambunctious. Sometimes it is best to pursue a leisurely pace at home.

You might want to think through some recent events. You’ll gain unusual insight when you investigate further. You will go forward with a new understanding.

Tonight: Do your thing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will want to stop reacting for a while; instead, take an overview of what’s happening around you. Your perspective will change as a result. How you handle several different situations could change, and others might see a difference in you. Tonight: Let your mind wander.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be wondering when you can make a statement of importance. You’ll want to share your thoughts with several different people before the actual presentation. You might opt not to do anything at all after getting some intense feedback. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Others seek your feedback.

Someone’s statement might cause you to reconsider a personal matter. Unexpected news also heads in your direction. By blocking a particular way of thinking, you could be preventing yourself from heading in a new direction.

Tonight: Follow a suggestion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll approach a situation in a new way, and you’ll be more than ready for a positive change.

You might wonder what is going on with a partner. Part of the issue could be that this person continues to be unpredictable.

Tonight: Relax, and choose a favorite pastime.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your attitude could provoke an

For Better or Worse

unexpected reaction. Your playfulness will pull you in a new direction. Honor a change of pace.

You have the ability to cruise through problems with ease.

Realize that someone is making an effort to get your attention.

Tonight: Stay present.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Come from a place of understanding, and recognize that others might not have the same values system as you. Your ability to read between the lines will be beneficial, but it also will be important to confirm exactly what you are seeing. Tonight: Relax at home. Do not push.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Returning calls leads to more calls. An unexpected development with a creative venture could provoke a lot of thinking and talking. You easily could see the day fly by in an instant. Think carefully about what you plan to say to a loved one. Tonight: Flex with the moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A family member or a domestic matter once more triggers you.

You might feel as if you have your

hands full. If you try to focus on other matters, you could find it difficult. Focus on what ails you first. Your productivity will increase, and you’ll feel better.

Tonight: Your treat.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your ability to flex is high. Your sense of direction could change radically because of forthcoming news, and then again because of others’ reactions. You know what needs to be handled. Follow-through counts when dealing with a neighbor or sibling.

Tonight: Hang out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might prefer to be left alone in order to work through an issue. A financial instability could affect your sense of direction.

Honor news, and make decisions once you are sure that you have all the facts. Remain sensitive to a friend or loved one. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My daughter has been dating the same guy for 11 years. Three years ago, she purchased a townhouse, and he moved in. He has terrible sleep habits. He claims his “internal sleep clock” is not in sync with the rest of the world. He stays up most nights playing on his computer and has a difficult time waking in the morning. He then spends his weekends trying to catch up on his sleep, staying in bed until late afternoon. He claims this is why he has yet to complete his college degree. He has a dead-end job because they tolerate his hours.

My daughter has done research on sleep disorders and offered him names of doctors and clinics in the area that specialize in helping people, but he refuses to go.

My daughter has a fantastic job. She is intelligent, beautiful, outgoing and fun, and has a wide circle of friends who apparently make up for what she doesn’t get from Rip Van Winkle. This lopsided relationship is not what I had hoped for her. She deserves so much more. She and I have had many discussions about this, and at one point it negatively affected our relationship. Since then, I’ve tried to keep my thoughts to myself.

She recently told me that Rip expects to inherit some money from an aunt who recently died. He claims he will use the money to buy an engagement ring and pay for online college classes. Frankly, I would prefer she never marry him. How do I prepare myself to react to a possible engagement? -- Sleepyhead’s Mother-In-Law-To-Be Dear SMILTB: Sleep disorders can be serious, but the fact that Rip Van Winkle has no interest in seeing a doctor means he would rather maintain the status quo. You already know your daughter isn’t inclined to listen to your opinions about this guy. So practice smiling in front of the mirror, because there isn’t much else you can do. We hope Rip Van Winkle has some redeeming qualities to make up for his lack of ambition, and one of them may be that he loves your daughter a great deal. Please try to focus on those good qualities and accept her decision with grace and fortitude.

Dear Annie: I recently asked a good friend to accompany me to a store where I needed to make a return. I wasn’t sure the manager would be cooperative and wanted my friend for support. She declined.

I was hurt and now wonder whether she is as good of a friend as I thought. I would have done it for her had she asked. Am I making too much of this? -- What Are Friends For? Dear What: Yes. Your friend may have her own issues about returning items, and this particular request may have made her terribly uncomfortable. Our friends cannot be all things to us. If she is otherwise good to you, please let her off the hook for this type of activity.

Dear Annie: I had to respond to “Frustrated Cook,” who admonished children who were picky eaters. My son was like that. Rather than create tension, I decided to cook what he would eat, even if it meant cooking a different dish. I remember my relatives giving me “the look” because they thought I was enabling him and that it was my fault he had such a limited palate.

As an adult, he is still picky, but now he can explain it to me. He says the texture of certain foods has always been a huge issue for him. He will now try different foods within limits. But he has expressed his gratitude to me for not forcing him to eat or go without.

To my relatives and others out there, don’t judge unless you know the whole story. -Happy Mom and Son Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

NEWS

Prince William’s wife, Kate, gives birth to a baby boy ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON – It’s a boy!

Prince William’s wife, Kate, has given birth to a prince who is now third in line to the British throne.

The child was born Monday, after many Britons woke up to the news that Kate, also known as the Duchess of Cambridge, had gone into labour with the couple’s first child.

The birth announcement, via a press release from Kensington Palace, said the boy was born at 4:24 p.m. weighing 8 pounds, 6 ounces. William was present for the birth, the statement said. The announcement did not include a name for the future monarch, though one is expected to be announced in the next few days.

“Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well and will remain in hospital overnight,’’ it said. “Members of both families have been informed and are delighted with the news.’’

AP/John Stillwell, Pool

The Queen’s Press Secretary Ailsa Anderson, with Badar Azim, a footman, places an official document to announce the birth in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace in London Monday July 22, 2013.

William’s father, Charles, and his wife, Camilla, spoke of their joy and pride in becoming grandparents for the first time.

“Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone’s life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and

daily townsman

happy to be a grandfather for the first time and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future,’ Prince Charles said in a statement.

William and Kate’s son is expected to follow Charles and William to the throne.

The royal couple and their newborn are ex-

pected to spend much of their time in the coming years in renovated quarters at Kensington Palace, where William and Harry also spent much of their childhood.

Royal officials say Kate and William will try to give their child as normal an upbringing as possible.

10 facts about royal baby traditions ASSOCIATED PRESS

Home Birthing Most people take a hospital birth for granted these days, but just a few decades ago the custom among royals was to give birth at home. Queen Elizabeth II was born at a private family home, and she gave birth to her sons Charles, Andrew and Edward in Buckingham Palace. That changed by the 1980s, when Princes William and Harry were both born at St. Mary’s hospital in central London. William and Kate’s first child was born in the same wing.

Home Schooling For a long time, royals were educated in private. Charles was the first royal heir to have gone to school, and William and Kate will doubtless have their son do the same.

Dads In The Delivery Room William said he would be there with Kate when she gave birth — and he delivered on that promise.

He follows in the footsteps of his father, Charles. When the queen went into labour with Charles, her husband, Prince Philip, was off playing squash.

Official Intruders In the early 1900s custom dictated that government officials be present when a royal was born. When the queen was born in 1926, the home secretary was present among the doctors “as evidence that it was really a royal birth and the baby hadn’t been smuggled in.’’ The practice was abolished years ago by George VI. How Many Names?

Most royals have three to four first names. The bookmakers had

the shortest odds on George or James for a boy. When William was born, it took a full week before his name was announced.

And The Last Name?

The royals don’t require a surname. The correct title when referring to the new prince will be His Royal Highness Prince (name) of Cambridge.

Christening Royal babies tend to be officially christened several days to weeks after they are born. The queen was christened in the private chapel at the palace, while both William and his father Charles were christened in the palace’s Music Room.

A Plain Old Easel Vs. Twitter The traditional way the palace announces a royal baby’s birth to the world is as quaint as it gets: A messenger with the news travels from the hospital to Buckingham Palace, carrying a piece of paper detailing the infant’s gender, weight and time of birth. The bulletin is then posted on a wooden easel on the palace’s forecourt for everyone to see.

To Nanny Or Not William and Kate have not made any public announcements about hiring a nanny to help them bring up their son. William and Harry enjoyed a bond with their former nanny Tiggy Legge-Bourke — who was so well known that she herself frequently appeared in the news.

A Welcome With A Bang A 62-gun salute from the Tower of London and a 41-gun salute from Green Park were to welcome the baby into the world.
