Interior Health and the local hospital dis-trict board are uniting to urge the Ministry of Health for nearly $20 million.

A replacement of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook has been a high priority for both or-ganizations for years.

When Interior Health staff met with the Koote-nay East Regional Hos-pital Board on Friday, February to go over cap-ital projects for 2013, the ICU was at the front of everyone’s mind.

“We need a new ICU, so anything new for us is a win. We will live with whatever the ministry comes down with,” said newly appointed hospi-tal board chair John Ket-tle. “Knock on wood, we have used every inch of political capital we have and every meeting we could get to, to convince the powers that be that we need this ICU and we are going to continue

to do that till the cows come home.”

While the cost of re-placing the ageing ICU, which contains four beds in a tight space, is estimated at around $10.5 million, with that construction comes mandatory upgrades to the electrical system at Cranbrook’s hospital to bring it up to the latest CSA standards. All up, the project is expected to cost $19.9 million, which requires special funding from the Minis-try of Health.

Todd Mastel, director of business support for Interior Health, told the hospital board that a business case for the ICU expansion has been presented to the minis-try.

“We have been work-ing with the ministry on the vetting process, looking at the details and providing some in-formation back,” said Mastel. “That business case is at the ministry as we speak.”

The Chamber of Commerce has poured over a new proposed sign bylaw by the City of Cranbrook, and on Monday, February 4, it presented 35 recommendations to coun-cil and a packed chambers.

Jason Wheeldon, chair of the Sign Bylaw Committee for the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce, presented a 46-page report to council.

“We recognized this was going to be a

contentious issue within the city. Recog-nizing that controversy does not always bring out the best in public consultation, we asked our members and the business community to work with us through the process to create this report and refrain from providing subjective opinion into the public consultation,” Wheeldon told coun-cil.

Last November, city council introduced its draft sign bylaw for first reading, the first time in 35 years the city has considered

updating regulations around signage.The proposed bylaw changes the height

and size requirements for signs. For instance, freestanding signs would

only be allowed to be six metres tall, down from 10 metres, if the new bylaw is ap-proved as it is.

This rule is designed to reduce clutter on the skyline through Cranbrook and im-prove viewscapes.

Glenys Joan Leibel 1936 - 2013

It is with great sadness that the family of Glenys Joan Leibel announces her passing on Thursday, January 31, 2013 in Cranbrook, BC at the age of 76.

Glenys was born June 3, 1936 as the 6th of 7 children to Frederick and Ethel Probert in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

Born and raised in Moose Jaw, Glenys enjoyed playing piano and swimming. She completed her high school education at Central Collegiate and went on to nursing training at Regina General Hospital. Graduating as an R.N. in 1957, Glenys then attended the University of Saskatchewan obtaining her teaching certificate. She married her husband Ralph in 1960 and together spent time in Ontario where Ralph attended DeVry. On a Christmas vacation home to the prairies, their good friends extolled the virtues of west coast living and soon enough they had packed their trunks and moved west. They settled in Vancouver where Glenys joined the staff of St. Paul’s Hospital as a clinical nursing instructor in paediatrics prior to the birth of her children. The family moved to Abbotsford in 1974 and then to Cranbrook in 1978. She returned to nursing in 1979 when she joined the team at Cranbrook Regional Hospital and dedicated many years to the Extended Care Unit until illness forced her retirement in 1994.

Glenys is survived by her husband of 52 years, Ralph Leibel as well as daughters Gillian (Kevin) Krippes of Calgary, Alberta, Jennifer (Ron) Sargeant of Kamloops, B.C. and son Peter (Misty) Leibel of Cranbrook, B.C. She also leaves to mourn her beloved grandchildren, Connor, Avery and Sydney as well as her brother Lloyd, sister Sylvia and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and long time best friend from nursing school, Alice. She was predeceased by her infant son, grandson Jeremy, father and mother Frederick and Ethel, brother Kenneth, brother Donald, sister Katherine (Kay) and sister Ruth.

A funeral service for Glenys will be held at McPherson Funeral Home on Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 2:00 pm. An afternoon tea reception will follow.

The family gratefully declines flowers. In honour of Glenys’ lifelong commitment to the healthcare field, she would appreciate donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, 19 - 9th Avenue South, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 2L9 or the Heart & Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon, Okanagan/Kootenays Area Office, #4, 1551 - Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, British Columbia, V1Y 9M9.

A number of sign types that exist in Cranbrook at that mo-ment are slated to be prohibited under the new bylaw. These in-clude “day-glo”, fluorescent, and luminous signs, as well as sand-wich board signs.

Any existing signs in Cran-brook that don’t meet the re-quirements of the new bylaw but did have the appropriate permit when they were built will be deemed “legal non-confirm-ing” and allowed to stay. How-ever, if those signs need to be changed or replaced, they would have to comply by the new requirements.

A public hearing held on De-cember 5 had a record turnout, with more than 60 people giving the city feedback on the pro-posed bylaw.

The Chamber of Commerce formed an ad-hoc committee on November 29 to review the bylaw, and the Chamber board approved the committee’s sign bylaw report on January 18. It was the result of 150 hours vol-unteered by the committee, which included sign companies.

The report details numerous recommended changes to the proposed sign bylaw.

The most controversial item in the draft bylaw is the regula-tions for the height of freestand-ing signs, Wheeldon said.

The committee conducted a

survey of Highway 3/95 between Victoria Avenue and 22nd Street North, and noted 40 freestand-ing signs in that 1.5 kilometre stretch. Of those 40 signs, 31 were higher than six metres and would be deemed legal non-conforming.

“Sign heights has been our major contentious issue. We have heard concerns from members of the public that it blocks the skyline, we need to beautify the city. Of course, these are wonderful ideas that we all strive to achieve. But is sign height really a beautifica-tion effort?” Wheeldon said, adding that different zones in Cranbrook should have differ-ent height limits.

The report recommends that the size of electronic change-able copy signs be increased to be consistent with the Western Financial Place sign, which is presently larger than the bylaw would allow. The report also re-quests that city signage be sub-ject to the same sign regulations as business.

“The sign at Western Finan-cial Place would contravene the height, the size of the electronic changeable copy sign, the mes-sage speed, animation, third party advertizing and possibly landscaping,” said Wheeldon.

The Chamber recommends the city allow temporary porta-ble signage, sandwich board

signage, bill board signage and balloon signage under specific circumstances.

These are just some of the 35 recommendations by the Chamber of Commerce.

“While it is one submission in the public comment period, it should not be discounted as one opinion but that of the entire business community,” said Wheeldon.

“The Chamber took a con-tentious issue and worked in a constructive manner with the business community to identify the areas of concern in the bylaw and research solutions within other municipal bylaws that would address the business community’s concerns, all with the purpose of providing safety, business identification and es-thetics.”

City council accepted the re-port from the Chamber on Feb-ruary 4 and referred it to staff.

“As I was reading the report, I found myself nodding my head through much of it. I want to thank you for the input and the way you have put it together,” Mayor Wayne Stetski said to the Sign Bylaw Committee.

Cranbrook’s Director of En-gineering Jamie Hodge ap-plauded the report.

“There are good solid recom-mendations that have been tried and found to be very suc-cessful in other communities.”

Sign height limit too low, Chamber says

“Bylaw No. 2463, City of Kimberley Zoning Bylaw No. 1850, 1994, Amendment No. 115, 2013” proposes to add the following definition to section 3.04:

“PLACE OF WORSHIP means a building, structure, or part thereof, which is primarily used for the practice of religion and faith‐based spiritual purposes wherein people assemble for religious worship, faith‐based teaching, fellowship and community social outreach. Accessory uses include, but are not limited to, classrooms for religious instruction, programs for community social benefit, administrative offices related to the place of worship, and one dwelling unit.

The reason for the amendment is to define a place of worship and permitted accessory uses.

The amendment also proposes to repeal Section 7.14 (1)(j) of Bylaw No. 1850 relating to P-1 Public Institution Zone and substituting a new Section 7.14 (1)(j) as follows:

“(j) place of worship”

The reason for the amendment is to replace the permitted use ‘church’ with ‘place of worship’.

The amendment also proposes to rename Section 7.14 (3) as Section 7.14 (3)(a) and add the following section 7.14 (3)(b):

“(b) No person shall site an accessory building to a place of worship in the P-1 zone which has:

(i) A front yard less than 6.0 m (19.7 ft.);

(ii) A rear yard less than 1.5 m (5 ft.);

(iii) An interior side yard less than 1.5 m (5 ft.);

(iv) An exterior side yard less than 3 m (9.8 ft.).

The amendment also proposes to rename section 7.14 (4) as Section 7.14 (4)(a) and add the following section 7.14 (4)(b):

“(b) The maximum height of a detached building for a dwelling unit accessory to a place of worship in the P-1 zone shall be 7.62 m (25 ft.) or 85% of the height of the principal building, whichever is the lesser.

“(c) The maximum height of an accessory detached building in the P-1 zone shall be 4.5 m (15 ft.) above finished grade.

The reason for these amendments is to define siting and size and dimensions of buildings and structures accessory to a place of worship and to ensure ancillary buildings and structures remain subordinate in size to the primary structure. As many of the P-1 zoned parcels with established places of worship are adjacent to residentially zoned properties, residential setback and dimension regulations have been applied in order to promote a gradual transition between accessory structures in the P-1 zone and adjacent residential parcels.

A Public Hearing for Bylaw No. 2463 will be held on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 6:45 p.m. in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 340 Spokane Street, Kimberley, BC.

If you believe that your interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw, you may:

a) submit written presentations to City Hall prior to the hearing, or

b) submit written and/or verbal presentations at the hearing.

You may inspect Bylaw No. 2463, Bylaw No. 1850 and the supporting documentation at City Hall, 340 Spokane Street, Kimberley, BC weekdays, except statutory holidays, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.

For further information, please call Planning Services at City Hall 250-427-9665.

DATED the 31st day of January, 2013

The City of Kimberley hereby gives notice that it intends to amend City of Kimberley Zoning Bylaw No. 1850, 1994.

Meanwhile, the hos-pital board agreed to contribute to six Interi-or Health capital proj-ects in 2013. Under the funding model with the

Ministry of Health, the hospital board puts in 40 per cent of a project cost, and the health au-thority the remaining 60 per cent.

This year’s capital projects include: re-place emergency gen-erator at Invermere and District Hospital ($240,000 hospital dis-trict share); anatomic

pathology renovation at EKRH ($100,000); chiller upgrade at Spar-wood Health Centre ($28,000); medical oxy-gen system and storage upgrade at Creston Val-

ley Hospital ($22,000); physiological monitor-ing system at EKRH ($220,000); and micro-biology analyzer at EKRH ($80,000).

The board did not approve capital funding request for special care homes in Kimberley and Golden. Commu-nication system up-grades were approved under a global grant.

New ICU still on local wishlist

Sally MacDonalDFor the sixth year, the

Kootenay East Regional Hospital District Board has re-elected John Ket-tle as Chair for 2013.

“I appreciate the support of my fellow Di-rectors in re-electing me as Chair,” says Kettle. “One of the big projects for which this Hospital District has been advo-cating is a new Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. The Board is focused on making this project happen and has committed $8 million as our 40% share. I’m look-ing forward to continu-ing our work with Interi-or Health on the ICU and other projects for the good of our resi-dents.”

Elkford Mayor Dean McKerracher has been re-elected as Acting Chair for a second term. “I thoroughly enjoyed my first term as Acting Chair and am looking forward to another dy-namic year working with Chair Kettle and the entire Board,” says McKerracher.

The Kootenay East Regional Hospital Dis-trict provides up to 40 percent capital funding for acute care facilities in the region for equip-ment and facility con-struction and renova-tion.

The Hospital District extends beyond the boundaries of the RDEK to include the Towns of Golden and Creston, and the portions of the Regional Districts of Central Kootenay and Columbia Shuswap sur-rounding those munici-palities.

LEICESTER, England — He was king of England, but for centuries he lay without shroud or coffin in an unknown grave, and his name became a by-word for villainy.

On Monday, scientists an-nounced they had rescued the remains of Richard III from an-onymity — and the monarch’s fans hope a revival of his repu-tation will soon follow.

In a dramatically orches-trated news conference, a team of archaeologists, geneticists, genealogists and other scien-tists from the University of Leicester announced that tests had proven what they scarcely dared to hope — a scarred and broken skeleton unearthed under a drab municipal park-ing lot was that of the 15th-cen-tury king, the last English mon-arch to die in battle.

Lead archaeologist Richard Butler said that a battery of tests proved “beyond reason-able doubt’’ that the remains were the king’s.

Lin Foxhall, head of the uni-versity’s school of archaeology, said the discovery “could end up rewriting a little bit of histo-ry in a big way.’’

Few monarchs have seen their reputations decline as much after death as Richard III. He ruled England between 1483 and 1485, during the de-cades-long battle over the throne known as the Wars of the Roses, which pitted two wings of the ruling Plantagenet dynasty — York and Lancaster — against one another.

His brief reign saw liberal reforms, including the intro-duction of the right to bail and the lifting of restrictions on books and printing presses.

But his rule was challenged, and he was defeated and killed by the army of Henry Tudor, who took the throne as King Henry VII and ended the Plan-tagenet line. Britain’s current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, is distantly related to Richard, but is not a descendant.

After his death, historians writing under the victorious

Tudors comprehensively trashed Richard’s reputation, accusing him of myriad crimes — most famously, the murder of his two nephews, the “Princ-es in the Tower.’’

William Shakespeare indeli-bly depicted Richard as a hunchbacked usurper who left a trail of bodies on his way to the throne before dying in bat-tle, shouting “My kingdom for a horse.’’

That view was repeated by many historians, and Richard remains a villain in the popular imagination. But others say Richard’s reputation was un-justly smeared by his Tudor successors.

Philippa Langley of the Richard III Society — which seeks to restore the late king’s reputation and backed the search for his grave— said that for centuries Richard’s story has been told by others, many of them hostile.

She hopes a new surge of interest, along with evidence from the skeleton about how the king lived and died — and how he was mistreated after death — will help restore his reputation.

Langley, who helped launch the search for the king, said she could scarcely believe her quest had paid off.

“Everyone thought that I was mad,’’ she said. “It’s not the easiest pitch in the world, to look for a king under a council car park.’’

The location of Richard’s body was unknown for centu-ries. He died in August 1485 at the Battle of Bosworth Field in the English Midlands, and re-

cords say he was buried by the Franciscan monks of Grey Fri-ars at their church in Leicester, 100 miles (160 kilometres) north of London.

The church was closed and dismantled after King Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries in 1538, and its location even-tually was forgotten by most local residents.

There were tales that the king’s bones had been dug up and thrown in a nearby river in the 16th century.

Then last year a team led by University of Leicester archae-ologist Richard Buckley identi-fied a possible location of the grave through map regression analysis, starting with a current map of the general area of the former church and analyzing earlier maps to discover what had changed and not changed. Ground-penetrating radar was used to find the best places to start digging.

The team began excavating in a parking lot last August. Within a week they had located thick walls and the remains of tiled floors. Soon after, they found human remains — the

skeleton of an adult male who appeared to have died in battle.

He had been buried uncere-moniously, with no coffin or shroud — plausible for a de-spised and defeated enemy.

Increasingly excited, the re-searchers set out to conduct a battery of scientific tests, in-cluding radiocarbon dating to determine the skeleton’s age, to see whether, against the odds, they really had found the king.

They found the skeleton be-longed to a man in his late 20s to late 30s who died between 1455 and 1540. Richard was 32 when he died in 1485.

Archaeological bone spe-cialist Jo Appleby, a lecturer in human bioarchaeology at Leicester, said study of the bones provided “a highly con-vincing case for identification of Richard III.’’

Appleby said the 10 injuries to the body were inflicted by weapons such as swords, dag-gers and halberds and were consistent with accounts of Richard being struck down in battle — his helmet knocked from his head — before his body was stripped naked and flung over the back of a horse in disgrace.

The remains also displayed signs of scoliosis, a form of spi-nal curvature, consistent with contemporary accounts of Richard’s appearance, though not the withered arm Shake-speare describes.

DNA from the skeleton matched a sample taken from Michael Ibsen, a distant living relative of Richard’s sister. The project’s lead geneticist, Turi King, said Ibsen, a Canadian carpenter living in London, shares with the skeleton a rare strain of mitochondrial DNA. The same DNA group also matches a second living de-scendant, who wants to remain anonymous.

Soon the remains will be moved to an undisclosed se-cure location, and next year Richard will, at last, get a king’s burial, interred with pomp and ceremony in Leicester Cathe-dral.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Supersonic skydiver Felix Baumgartner was faster than he or anyone else thought when he jumped from 24 miles (37 kilometres) up.

According to the official numbers re-leased Monday, the Austrian parachutist known as “Fearless Felix’’ reached 843.6 mph (1,357 kph). That’s equivalent to Mach 1.25, or 1.25 times the speed of sound.

His top speed initially was estimated last October at 834 mph (1,342 kph), or Mach 1.24.

Either way, he became the first human to break the sound barrier with only his body. He wore a pressurized suit and

jumped from a capsule hoisted by a giant helium balloon over New Mexico.

Baumgartner was supersonic for a half-minute — “quite remarkable,’’ accord-ing to Brian Utley, the official record-keep-ing official who was present for the Oct. 14 feat. His heart rate remained below 185 beats a minute, and his breathing was fair-ly steady.

The leap was from an altitude of 127,852 feet (38,969 metres). That’s 248 feet (75 metres) lower than original estimates.

Some 52 million people watched You Tube’s live stream of the exploit.

Baumgartner shattered the previous re-cord for a free fall plunge, made by Joe Kittinger, an Air Force officer, in 1960. Kit-tinger did not quite reach supersonic speed during his jump from 19.5 miles (31 kilometres) up.

Skydiver fell faster than thought: 1.25 times speed of sound

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2013

Cannon will roar across the Inner Harbour on the morning of Feb. 12 to mark the opening of the 2013 leg-

islature session.Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon

will inspect the troops and present her in-augural Throne Speech, setting out the B.C. Liberal government’s goals for the coming year.

This ritual will kick off a legislative session that is ex-pected to run until March 14, where the official Parlia-mentary Calendar shows a three-week break for Easter. Debate is unlikely to resume in April, as the election cam-paign will be in full roar by then.

This means there will be a grand total of 19 sitting days to push through a budget and a raft of legislation. Here’s my unoffi-cial preview.

The pre-election budget will be pre-sented Feb. 19 by Finance Minister Mi-chael de Jong. Premier Christy Clark has decreed that it must be balanced, and the government has made extra efforts to ar-mour itself against what will likely be the loudest debate ahead.

First, de Jong held a pre-budget meet-ing of the government’s blue-chip forecast council in public. This provided a visual record of what happens every year, when the finance ministry solicits the same sort

of independent advice as most competent democracies, and bases its numbers on that.

Then the finance ministry hired former Bank of Montreal chief economist Tim O’Neill, who will act as an unofficial ver-sion of the parliamentary budget officer in Ottawa. Now that we have simultaneous oversight of child welfare and the police,

the next step is to extend it to finance bureaucrats.

Regardless of party, the government has to produce a three-year set of forecasts to replace the current one. A lot of election energy will go into competing claims about who is better at predicting

the future.Another new law to be given high pri-

ority is one setting up senate elections, to be run in connection with the May 14 provincial vote. Alberta pioneered this, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s re-cent round of senate appointments in-cluded Calgary lawyer Doug Black, who won an Alberta senate election held last year.

There was no one appointed to replace Gerry St. Germain, who bid an emotional adieu as a Conservative senator for B.C. last year. St. Germain was instrumental in uniting the splintered federal Conserva-tives, but he reached the mandatory re-tirement age of 75, having been appointed

by Brian Mulroney in 1993 after losing his seat as an MP.

Why would this senate reform be so urgent for the B.C. Liberals now? Well, turnout for the 2009 election fell to around 50 per cent, a record low for a provincial vote. If that downward trend is reversed this year, it will be in large part because people are still mad enough about the harmonized sales tax and a range of other issues to get off the couch and kick some B.C. Liberal butt.

Electing senators remains a popular notion, especially with older, conserva-tive-minded voters in B.C. who identified with the Reform Party. The first-ever sen-ate election looks like the best available shot at boosting turnout among people who are not likely to vote NDP, and who may also be disengaged from provincial politics.

And then there is the provincial sales tax bill. Another kick in the slats for the movie business, for one, and don’t hold your breath for NDP leader Adrian Dix to produce a solution in the wake of his re-cent trip to Tinsel Town.

The performance of the governing party and the opposition will be scruti-nized as never before.

Local curlers shooting for provincial title

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Tom Buchy, Dave Stephenson, Dave Toffolo and Darren Will will be aiming for a provincial title and a shot at the Tim Hortons Brier during a tournament on Vancouver Island this week. The team would like to thank following sponsors for all their support: Stephen Rota Management Inc., Coal Valley Motor Products, Assante Wealth Management, Avenue, B & B glass, ABC Country Restaurant, Coors Light, Marysville Petrocan, David Bellm & Company Insurance, Sun Life Financial – Frank Vanden Broek, Prestige Hotels and Resorts, The Kimberley Curling Club and The Sparwood Curling Club.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

Kimberley skip Tom Buchy will lead a team of curlers at the provin-cial championships for a shot at representing B.C. in the Tim Hortons Brier.

Joining Buchy is fel-low Kimberlite Dave Toffolo, while Fernie’s Darren Will and Kelow-na’s Dave Stephenson are also on board as the four hope to build on their showing from last year in Parksville on Vancouver Island.

Buchy and his team earned two wins and three losses in five games last year, though a couple of them were decided either in the last end or extra ends.

Toffolo adds that the team is eager to take an-other run after losing those close games.

“I think last year, we played five games—four of them went down to last rock games or extra ends—it could’ve so easily gone the other way,” Toffolo said.

Stephenson is a new addition, filling in the gap left by Ken McHar-gue, however, he is well acquainted with Buchy, as the two played to-gether as juniors many years ago.

McHargue opted out this time around to play seniors curling, accord-ing to Buchy.

Once Buchy and Ste-phenson were out of ju-niors, they played in quite a few cash spiels

in their early 20s.While Buchy and

Stephenson go way back, Will and Toffolo only got the five games during regional qualifi-ers to play as a com-plete team with the new guy.

However, Toffolo has run into Stephenson before, usually as an opponent over the years.

“I’ve never curled with him, but I’ve curled against him quite a few times. He’s a good guy, he’s a good guy on the ice, he’s a good guy to curl against, but he’s also a very good com-

petitor,” Toffolo said.Buchy said the com-

petition is going to be very tough.

Jim Cotter, who skips out of Vernon, is a two-time provincial cham-pion and has made an appearance at the Brier.

Brent Pierce won a Brier in 2000 playing third for Greg McAulay, and went on to capture a world championship the same year.

Dean Hornig, who curls out of Castlegar and faced Buchy in the zone playdowns, has been to the Brier three times.

“Every year I seem to

say it’s one of the better fields, but this is a good field,” Buchy said. “Any time you go to provin-cials, you won’t see a weak team there. It’s just a matter of getting on a roll and getting a few breaks.”

The team will get a chance to throw some rocks on Tuesday and check out the ice before competition begins in earnest on Wednesday.

“That’ll give us a chance to view the ice, see if it was anything like last year,” said Buchy. “Last year it was fantastic—had big curl, rocks were great and it

was really fast, so that’s kind of the ultimate for shotmaking.”

The four face Jason Montgomery and his Victoria-based team first in Wednesday af-ternoon draw.

“We know every-body is throwing rocks, we have to trust in our ability and our experi-ence, because we all have decent experience and we expect everyone to come and be able to play well,” said Toffolo. “Hopefully it all hap-pens at the right time. That’s the hope—if it all comes together, good things will happen.”

VINA DEL MAR, Chile - Rafael Nadal’s ailing left knee may continue to bother him until the end of the month, his coach said Monday.

Nadal practiced for 90 minutes with Nicolas Massu of Chile on Monday, his fourth straight day of training since arriving in the country for his first match in more than seven months.

Nadal opens play on Tuesday in the VTR Open, playing doubles with Argentina’s Juan Monaco. On Wednesday, he will play singles in the second round against the winner of a first-round match between Argentines Guido Pella and Federico Del-bonis.

“The knee is much better, but they’ve told us he will feel some discomfort and lack of mobility until the end of the month,” said Toni Nadal, the sev-en-time French Open champion’s coach and uncle. “But it’s definitely getting better.”

Nadal has avoided surgery so far, getting thera-peutic treatment in hopes of speeding the healing.

Outage won’t affect New Orleans as future Super Bowl hostBRET T MARTELAssociated Press

NEW ORLEANS - The blackout at the Su-perdome will not stop the Super Bowl from re-turning to New Orleans.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said that despite the electrical outage which delayed Sunday night’s game for 34 minutes, the city did a “terrific” job hosting its first pro football cham-pionship in the post-Ka-trina era.

“Let me reiterate again what an extraordi-nary job the city of New Orleans has done,” said Goodell, speaking Mon-day at a post-Super Bowl media conference held for the game’s most valuable player, Balti-more quarterback Joe

Flacco, and winning coach John Harbaugh. “The most important thing is to make sure people understand it was a fantastic week.”

New Orleans has hosted 10 Super Bowls, including Baltimore’s 34-31 victory over San Francisco, tied for the most with Miami.

While serving as the site of America’s biggest sporting event and focus of an unofficial national holiday gets any place a lot of attention, this game had special mean-ing for New Orleans.

The city last hosted the Super Bowl in 2002 and officials were hop-ing this would serve as the ultimate showcase - on a global scale - of how far it has come since

being devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The storm winds tore holes in the roof of the Superdome and there was water damage from the rain that affect-ed electrical systems and caused mould to spread. More than $330 million has been spent

to upgrade the facility, which has hosted the annual Sugar Bowl, Saints games, two BCS title games and a men’s Final Four since the storm.

Yet the loss of power was an embarrassment that quickly became per-haps the signature mo-ment of the Ravens’ win.

Goodell said not to worry.

“I do not think this will have an effect on fu-ture Super Bowls in New Orleans,” he said. “I fully expect to be back here for Super Bowls. I hope we will be back. We want to be back here.”

Local officials have said they will bid to host an 11th Super Bowl in 2018 to coincide with the 300th anniversary of the

city’s founding. Goodell made it sound like that is still in play.

“This will not affect the view of the NFL of the success of the game here in New Orleans,” Goodell said. “We know that they have an inter-est in future Super Bowls and we look forward to evaluating that. Going forward, I do not think this will have an effect at all on what I think will be remembered as one of the great Super Bowl weeks.”

Goodell said he had no concerns about the adequacy of the Super-dome going forward be-cause “this is clearly something that can be fixed and it’s clearly something we can pre-pare for and we will.”

“I do not think this will have an effect on

future Super Bowls in New Orleans. I fully expect to be

back for Super Bowls. I hope we will be

back. We want to be back here.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Do yourself a favor and start lis-tening to your inner voice more often. How you see a personal matter could change dramatical-ly as a result. Be aware of a ten-dency to be slightly defensive. Don’t take someone’s comment the wrong way. Tonight: Try a new restaurant. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Listen to news with a grain of salt. Rethink a situation more carefully. Understand what is happening within your imme-diate group of friends. Know what needs to happen in order to keep you more content. Honor a friend’s request. Tonight: Let someone else choose. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others’ dynamic energy could push you over the edge if you aren’t careful. A superior might think that he or she has a novel idea. Indulge this person. You could be overwhelmed by oth-ers, especially if you have a lot to do. Screen calls. Tonight: Try something unusual.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have a lot to do. Getting ev-erything done could take a rather large effort, as your mind keeps wandering to yonder lands. You could be taken aback by a sug-gestion. Detach, and see if you can get the message more in the manner it was meant. Tonight: Go for a brisk walk. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your imagination can either re-solve a problem or distort it. You will know the outcome once you hear others’ feedback. Financial dealings will be highlighted. Sharp comments are likely. You do not have to do more than listen to them. Tonight: Have fun with a loved one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others demand a lot from you. Listen, but also recognize that you need to make your own decisions. Friends have excellent insights, but they don’t know the specifics of what you are dealing with. Trust your judgment when it comes to your personal life. Tonight: Anchored in. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could have difficulty getting

and/or giving a clear message. Maintain a sense of humor. You might not always have the con-trol you desire. Your drive and follow-through make you a star wherever you choose to put your energy. Tonight: Happily head home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep conversations about a key matter within a certain circle of friends or colleagues. Confiden-tiality is necessary. Adapt to fast changes in the workplace. Tap into your ingenuity if you find that you’re hitting a roadblock. Tonight: Add more spice to your personal life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The unexpected occurs. Un-derstand that finances could be involved. Do not commit to any expenses just yet. If you are feeling negative or pessimistic, you could be creating more of a problem for yourself. Detach, and walk away from the issue. Tonight: Pay your bills. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You hit one of your power days. A friendship might be very im-portant to you, but know that

sometimes it also can weigh you down. This person often can be demanding. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and they could turn a problem around. Tonight: Do whatever feels right. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Take some time off. Even though you might think you are needed -- and you very well could be -- you are better off resting or handling a personal matter right now. Someone could be very difficult to deal with. This person carries authority with him or her. Tonight: Not to be found. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Express your feelings with clari-ty, especially when dealing with an authority figure. The commu-nication style you use could be the issue. Ask for confirmation or repeat what the other party said. It might be an effective technique. Tonight: At a favorite haunt with friends. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Bobby Brown (1969), baseball player Hank Aaron (1934), singer/songwriter Sara Evans (1971) ***

Dear Annie: After two months, I am still upset with my father-in-law. My two daugh-ters recently married, and the weddings were six weeks apart. My in-laws gave us a nice sum of money to help us with the wed-dings. We were very grateful and told them so. Right before the first wedding, my hus-band lost his job. In order to finish paying for the second wedding, we had to ask my father-in-law to lend us more money. He said, “Sure. I want to give the girls what they want.” We didn’t tell our kids about my husband’s job situation because we wanted them to soak in all the glory of being brides without any stress. Here’s what happened: At Christmas, my father-in-law sent small amounts of money to me, my husband and our son with a note saying, “We thought it would be OK to pass on the girls this year.” The money is such a small amount that it didn’t matter, but I cannot get over the fact that he took out our financial difficulties on them. The girls have no idea why their grandfather didn’t give them holiday gifts, and so far, I haven’t told them. I am so mad, I could scream. I have to see my father-in-law at a family event this week-end and don’t think I can be civil. This man showered his daughter’s children with cars for graduation that mine never got. I slept on this before writing and am angrier now than when I went to bed. At the moment, I don’t want to ever see him again. Please ad-vise. -- Washington Dear Washington: The fact that Dad is un-fair in his gift giving is a legitimate issue, but that doesn’t mean your children are entitled to receive gifts from him. You refer to the wedding money as “loans,” but Dad appar-ently considered them his wedding gifts to his granddaughters. If so, he was generous, and the girls should know. If they were ac-tual loans and you are repaying the money, we agree that Dad should have treated your family equally at Christmas. Either way, it serves no purposes to stew in silence. Talk to your husband and then to Dad, together. Try to be nice. We doubt he intended to be unkind, and he probably doesn’t realize that his behavior disturbed you. Dear Annie: My family recently planned a special, catered, expensive celebration. We gave much thought to our guest list. One couple told us they wanted their grown children invited. Then the grown children asked if they could bring their chil-dren. Some guests simply assumed their children were invited and brought them. Please tell them again, Annie: If the invi-tation is addressed to “Mr. and Mrs.,” it is only for them. It does not include children, grandchildren or friends. What has hap-pened to manners? I hope this will enlight-en some folks. -- Roanoke, Va. Dear Roanoke: Some people believe all invitations are casual and open. They are not. Guest lists are limited by space as well as cost. It would be nice if your letter helps people understand this so they can be more gracious when responding. Dear Annie: I can relate to the letter from “No, I Am Not Trying for a Boy,” who had two girls and was still carrying baby weight. When I was carrying twins, a woman I knew only casually asked me whether I was having a baby elephant. After the girls were born, I overheard a friend saying, “It looks like she still has one left in there.” However, a true friend visited me in the hospital after my fifth girl and said, “How many people can say they have five beau-tiful girls?” Some people know what to say and some don’t. That was 35 years ago, and all of our girls have been true blessings in our lives. -- South Dakota Mom Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Agnes Frances Owen1918 - 2013

Agnes Frances Owen of Kimberley, B.C. passed away gently on January 30, 2013 at the age of 94. She was born, Agnes Aikman, in 1918, on a farm outside Lacombe, Alberta. She moved to Canmore as a young girl and eventually came with her family to

Kimberley in the early 1930’s. Agnes always spoke fondly of this mountain city and genuinely enjoyed the people she came to know in Kimberley. In 1941 she married her favourite dance partner, Art Owen, and saw him embark to war the following year. When Art returned from overseas they started a family and raised two daughters in their home in Townsite. Along with her parents and brothers, she and Art owned and operated Aikman’s Café and Aikman’s Camera Shop for a number of decades before retiring to a life of gardening, grand-parenting and gourmet cooking. She enjoyed playing bridge, golfing and cross country skiing but, most of all, loved spending time with her family.

She leaves her daughters Gerry (Jack) Wessel of Abbotsford and Bonnie (Brian) McKenzie of Kimberley as well as four grandchildren - Peter (Ana), Jana (Marco), Andrea (Jesse) and David (Kate). Four great grandchildren survive her - Finnegan, Anna, Sophie and Matthew. She was also close to the families of her nieces and nephews and shared a special bond with her niece Louise Archibald. Agnes is predeceased by her husband Arthur and grandsons Steven and Ian.

Agnes was a gracious, caring, generous person with an infectious laugh and a twinkle in her blue eyes. She was wise and always knew the right thing to say to touch your heart. She was a breath of fresh air to all who knew her. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered here on earth but will be dancing with joy in Heaven.

Agnes’ family wishes to thank the wonderful individuals who make up the staff of the Kimberley Special Care Home for their dedication to the people in their care and for the compassion they show in their day to day tasks.

A memorial service for Agnes will be held on Saturday, February 9th at 3:00 pm at the Kimberley United Church, located at 10 Boundary Street. Reverend Christine Dudley will be officiating.
