SEEING THE SIGNS

Chamber critiques sign bylaw Special Chamber of Commerce committee presents city council with 35 recommended changes SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

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 council and a packed chambers.

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

“We recognized this was going to be a

contentious issue within the city. Recognizing 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 council.

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 approved as it is.

This rule is designed to reduce clutter on the skyline through Cranbrook and improve viewscapes.

Interior Health and the local hospital district 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 organizations for years.

When Interior Health staff met with the Kootenay East Regional Hospital Board on Friday, February to go over capital 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 hospital board chair John Kettle. “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 replacing 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 Ministry 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 ministry.

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

This past weekend, Air Cadets from 552 Key City, 266 Kimberley and 279 Elk Valley Squadrons took to the air in a Cessna 172 to learn about powered flight. The Cessna was flown to Canadian Rockies International Airport from the Okanagan so the cadets could each take part in a 30-minute flight, including a safety lesson and a description of how the plane flies. Some cadets, who have applied for aviation training this summer, were given the front seat of the Cessna and the chance to take the controls. If you are aged between 12 and 18 and would like to learn more about your local air cadets, please call Lt. Bott at 250-426-3685 or email trainingdesk552@gmail.com.

Sign height limit too low, Chamber says Continued from page 1 A number of sign types that exist in Cranbrook at that moment are slated to be prohibited under the new bylaw. These include “day-glo”, fluorescent, and luminous signs, as well as sandwich board signs.

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

A public hearing held on December 5 had a record turnout, with more than 60 people giving the city feedback on the proposed 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 volunteered 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 regulations for the height of freestanding signs, Wheeldon said.

The committee conducted a

survey of Highway 3/95 between Victoria Avenue and 22nd Street North, and noted 40 freestanding 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 beautification effort?” Wheeldon said, adding that different zones in Cranbrook should have different height limits.

The report recommends that the size of electronic changeable 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 requests that city signage be subject to the same sign regulations as business.

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

The Chamber recommends the city allow temporary portable 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 contentious 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 esthetics.”

City council accepted the report from the Chamber on February 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 Engineering Jamie Hodge applauded the report.

“There are good solid recommendations that have been tried and found to be very successful in other communities.”

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.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Skeleton confirmed as Richard III’s What’s Up? Jill L awless Associated Press

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 byword for villainy.

On Monday, scientists announced they had rescued the remains of Richard III from anonymity — and the monarch’s fans hope a revival of his reputation will soon follow.

In a dramatically orchestrated news conference, a team of archaeologists, geneticists, genealogists and other scientists 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 parking lot was that of the 15th-century king, the last English monarch to die in battle.

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

Lin Foxhall, head of the university’s school of archaeology, said the discovery “could end up rewriting a little bit of history 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 decades-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 introduction 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 Plantagenet 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

He had been buried unceremoniously, with no coffin or shroud — plausible for a despised and defeated enemy.

Skydiver fell faster than thought: 1.25 times speed of sound Marcia Dunn Associated Press

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 released 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

Baumgartner was supersonic for a half-minute — “quite remarkable,’’ according to Brian Utley, the official record-keeping official who was present for the Oct. 14 feat. His heart rate remained below 185 beats a minute, and his breathing was fairly 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 record for a free fall plunge, made by Joe Kittinger, an Air Force officer, in 1960. Kittinger did not quite reach supersonic speed during his jump from 19.5 miles (31 kilometres) up.

Stage set for B.C. senate election

C

annon will roar across the Inner Harbour on the morning of Feb. 12 to mark the opening of the 2013 legislature session.

Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon will inspect the troops and present her inaugural 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 expected to run until March 14, where the official Parliamentary Calendar shows a three-week break for Easter.

Debate is unlikely to resume in April, as the election campaign 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 unofficial preview.

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

First, de Jong held a pre-budget meeting 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 version 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 BC VIEWS a three-year set of forecasts to replace the current one. A Tom lot of election energy will go Fletcher into competing claims about who is better at predicting the future.

Another new law to be given high priority 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 recent round of senate appointments included 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 Conservatives, but he reached the mandatory retirement 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, conservative-minded voters in B.C. who identified with the Reform Party. The first-ever senate 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 recent trip to Tinsel Town.

The performance of the governing party and the opposition will be scrutinized as never before.

V Local curlers shooting for provincial title 250.426.5201

250.427.5333

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

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

Joining Buchy is fellow Kimberlite Dave Toffolo, while Fernie’s Darren Will and Kelowna’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 another 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 McHargue, however, he is well acquainted with Buchy, as the two played together as juniors many years ago.

McHargue opted out this time around to play seniors curling, according to Buchy.

Once Buchy and Stephenson were out of juniors, they played in quite a few cash spiels

NEW ORLEANS The blackout at the Superdome will not stop the Super Bowl from returning 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 championship in the post-Katrina era.

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

Nadal’s knee improving as he tunes up in Chile

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 Delbonis.

“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 seven-time French Open champion’s coach and uncle. “But it’s definitely getting better.”

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

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. in their early 20s.

While Buchy and Stephenson go way back, Will and Toffolo only got the five games during regional qualifiers to play as a complete 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 competition is going to be very tough.

Jim Cotter, who skips out of Vernon, is a twotime provincial champion 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 provincials, 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 afternoon draw.

“We know everybody is throwing rocks, we have to trust in our ability and our experience, because we all have decent experience and we expect everyone to come and be able to play well,” said Toffolo.

“Hopefully it all happens at the right time.

That’s the hope—if it all comes together, good things will happen.”

Outage won’t affect New Orleans as future Super Bowl host BRET T MARTEL Associated Press

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2013

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 meaning for New Orleans.

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

“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.”

Roger Goodell 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 affected 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 perhaps the signature moment of the Ravens’ win.

Goodell said not to worry.

“I do not think this will have an effect on future 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 interest 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 Superdome going forward because “this is clearly something that can be fixed and it’s clearly something we can prepare for and we will.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Do yourself a favor and start listening to your inner voice more often. How you see a personal matter could change dramatically as a result. Be aware of a tendency 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 immediate 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 others, 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 everything done could take a rather large effort, as your mind keeps wandering to yonder lands. You could be taken aback by a suggestion. 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 resolve 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

For Better or Worse

and/or giving a clear message.

Maintain a sense of humor. You might not always have the control 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. Confidentiality 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. Understand 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 important 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 clarity, especially when dealing with an authority figure. The communication 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.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: After two months, I am still upset with my father-in-law. My two daughters recently married, and the weddings were six weeks apart. My in-laws gave us a nice sum of money to help us with the weddings. We were very grateful and told them so.

Right before the first wedding, my husband 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 weekend 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 advise. -- Washington Dear Washington: The fact that Dad is unfair 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 apparently considered them his wedding gifts to his granddaughters. If so, he was generous, and the girls should know. If they were actual 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 children. Some guests simply assumed their children were invited and brought them.

Please tell them again, Annie: If the invitation is addressed to “Mr. and Mrs.,” it is only for them. It does not include children, grandchildren or friends. What has happened to manners? I hope this will enlighten 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 beautiful 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 Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituaries Agnes Frances Owen 1918 - 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, grandparenting 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.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.
