CLOSE-UP

A new music producer of the Internet kind BRENNAN Henderson at his computer controls where he has become a music mixologist with followers all over the world. JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

rennan Henderson works in a board shop. He’s 18 years old, lives in his parents’ basement and likes skateboarding better than snowboarding, although he made it to Big White for opening day. Attempts at music lessons didn’t stick with him as he was growing up. “Piano wasn’t engaging enough for me,” he said, while sitting in the Bean Scene in downtown Kelowna drinking coffee (black). “I just wasn’t interested at the time.” He played the guitar for a few months in Grade 6 with much the same results. And yet, he’s now producing music internationally, trading stems with friends both in Kelowna and abroad. A stem is like a slice of music, a baseline or a synthesizer composition, that grows into a song when mixed with other music stems. He occasionally sings a recording. He asks

friends to play him a line or two of guitar riffs. But by and large, the art in his music is in the combinations and he’s the music mixologist. “I take a song and rip it apart and make a new one out of it,” he explained. Thanks to programs like Garageband, stock on any Mac computer, and Internet portals like SoundCloud, he’s got several hundred followers around the world. He is now mixing a new album with fellow artist Imprintafter, who is based in Los Angeles.

2012 Mazda ONLY CX-9 7 LEFT!

In other words, unlike the children of yesteryear, for whom a lack of desire to practise meant a talent gone to waste or a world of music left untouched, Henderson is free to take up his hobby and reach performance level in under a year— and people actually want to listen to it. In fact, he’s adopted the Rebel Without A Cause moniker, ‘James Deen’, even eschewing the musician label. “At first I was trying to be a DJ but that’s more about performing,” he said.

“I like making music, so that’s more what I’m doing.” Henderson thinks of himself as a music producer, assembling songs in a program called Massive. Beside the computer sit a LaunchPad Music Control Surface and an AKAI MPD26 Pad Controller he uses to oscillate volume and effects so that a pre-assembled song can have a one-of-a-kind performance experience. He likes horns, saxophones and trumpets, and claims he doesn’t really need to go through school to keep learning.

Leaving The Juilliard School for committed musical types, he’s of the belief the sky is the limit via Googling. “The Internet is one of the greatest tools ever. If I’m ever stuck, I can go to YouTube and find sound techs and all this stuff I can use,” he said. This appears to be quite right. Henderson, aka James Deen, has only been at it a year and several of his songs have had hundreds of listens from all over the world. He’s decently branded with an artsy profile

photo that fits the crowd he’s pitching to. It could hang in the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, where he’s played a couple of ’zine launches. It also looks a little like he might walk out of his picturesque black and white mug-on-park scene profile photo and into one of King Krule’s videos. King Krule is the epitome of success in this art form. He has the look of a character ripped from Angela’s Ashes, the tuneless, poetic growl of a contemporary Bob Dylan (if the listener were somewhat stoned) and blue suede

shoes in the video for his debut single Out Getting Ribs. Despite King Krule’s ghostly, impoverished middle schooler look, the 18-year-old signed with House Anxiety Records to produce his first self-titled EP in 2010 and is poised to become the U.K.’s sound of 2013 as a nominee in the BBC’s Sound Of 2013 as named on Dec. 9. His music has met with mixed reviews. “If you’ve ever slowly blinked back to consciousness in a dentist’s chair, unable to distinguish dream from fact, you already know what King Krule sounds like,” wrote Rob Tannenbaum, of Rolling Stone Magazine, on the release of True Panther, King Krule’s five-song EP. But to 19-year-old Juan Avila, the given name of Henderson’s collaborative partner Imprintafter, this sort of sensory soundscape is more awe-inspiring, than muddled. “The first time I heard High and Dry by

Computer store robbed West Kelowna RCMP are looking for multiple suspects after at least four men in a truck were seen breaking into the Simply Computing store last weekend. On Saturday, Dec. 15, just before midnight, the RCMP received a report of a commercial break and enter at Simply Computing, located at 2180 Elk Rd. A witness reported seeing four men loading up a pickup quickly in front of the store. When police arrived moments later, the vehicle and suspects were gone,

along with an estimated $100,000 in electronic merchandise. The mechanism on the overhead-style security door had been damaged and the underlying glass doors smashed to gain entry. The theft appeared to target mostly Apple iPads and Macbooks. Anyone with any information is asked to call the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880. Remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477, online at www.crimestoppers.net.

Tins of popcorn were only part of the gift given to Kelowna General Hospital staff from organ recipients Tuesday. As Matt Scaife and Veronica Scarpino dropped off the holiday treats to those working in the intensive care unit, emergency department and operating rooms of KGH, they gave staff the chance to see a living example of what an organ donation can do. “This group of staff are the ones who work hard to retrieve organs from the donors. That can be an emotional time and not always leave you with a really happy feeling until you get to see people who (have benefited) from transplants,”

said Trish Bosch, in-hospital donation coordinator at KGH with BC Transplant. Scaife received a liver in April 2000. Prior to getting the transplant, he said he was very sick and life was “very difficult.” “To have been transplanted is life-changing,” said Scaife. “This year I had the opportunity to walk my daughter down the aisle…that never would have happened had I not been transplanted.” He said he has participated in BC Transplant’s Operation Popcorn for the last 10 years. “For me, it’s an opportunity to say thank you. For them, it’s an opportunity to see someone who has gone through this ordeal and is still doing well.” Saturday, Dec. 15, marked the

fifth anniversary since Scarpino received a new heart. “I had a progressive disease over 15 years; the last couple years were quite bad for me,” said Scarpino. “Saturday morning I woke up thinking: Oh my God, about this time five years ago, I got the phone call…saying: We’ve got a heart for you. “Without what BC Transplant has done—and all the people, all the doctors, all the donors—there is no doubt that I would not be here.” Along with Operation Popcorn, both Scarpino and Scaife still take part in BC Transplant events and other awareness campaigns to explain the importance of registering to become an organ donor. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

City installs webcam to stream a view of its outdoor ice rink Attention Kelowna ice skaters—your double lutz jumps and triple Salchows are now on view for the world to see. According to the city, skaters both young and young at heart, have been enjoying the outdoor rink at Stuart Park since it reopened earlier this month. And, while the rink is not meant for competitive figure skating, it has been growing in popularity. So the city has installed a camera that will feed

to its website, allowing residents and visitors to view rink conditions before heading downtown to skate. “We want people to get active this winter and we know that it can be disappointing to come downtown only to find the rink closed or is too busy to skate,” said director of recreation and cultural services Jim Gabriel. “This can be especially frustrating for those who are just learning to

skate or who have young skaters.” The camera, mounted above the maintenance building in the park, is high enough to provide a bird’s eye view of the area, allowing residents to see if the rink is closed for maintenance (roughly 15 to 20 minutes and will be indicated by signs at each corner of the rink), closed for the day (indicated by two yellow signs in the middle of the rink), or how many skaters are

on the ice. Providing camera views is not new says Gabriel, noting, locally, residents can view traffic going in and out of town over the W.R. Bennett Bridge and can look at highway conditions through provincial cameras. Once the ice surface is removed in February or March, the camera will remain in place; however, the feed will be turned off and removed from the

Ice tower a new challenge for extreme sport junkies

EVERYBODY ALWAYS THINKS OF RISK IN THE NEGATIVE, BUT YOU GET GOOD THINGS WITH RISK. Margo Talbot

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

“Every time I met someone who seemed really healthy and really full of life it always turned out that they were a climber,” says Margo Talbot, ice climber extraordinaire. Talbot competes as an elite athlete in events like the EXPN X-Games and Ouray Ice Festival. From one shining moment to another, her star glitters as bright as the ice she’s fame for climbing; but no one quite realized her climb to the top was equally fragile until she published an autobiography last year. Talbot was addicted to both drugs and alco-

hol before reaching international fame as an extreme sports junky and she credits her lust for the thrill of reaching new peaks with turning it all around. “I believe that the reason climbing was so instrumental in my healing is that it brought me into the present moment,” she

explains. The climber will be at the Big White Ice Tower this year to offer a little inspiration to local ice enthusiasts and other women who might want to take on a new challenge. Strapping on her first set of crampons at age 28, she can honestly say she

picked her way out of that world of addiction and crime, one line at a time. To say she has a gripping story is an understatement, but so too do Jim Onega and his partner Toni Clark who will be running “the first ice tower at a North American ski resort” for the third year in a row. The Big White Ice Tower is comprised of telephone poles crossbraced, doused continu-

ously in water and frozen to form an 18-meter cylinder even the timid find tempting. “Out east they construct these towers in city parks for competitions, but the concept of bringing it to an already recreational area and making it something that people can finally try safely is quite unique,” said Onega, a climbing guide with experience in every mountain range on Earth.

This year the couple have added a competition element to the tower experience and are expecting top climbers from around the world to take notice. “We provide all the equipment: axes, harnesses, boots, helmet and a belay,” said Clark, noting novices and season’s pass holders alike enjoy its convenience. Whether laying down 52 climbs in a sin-

gle day—the current record—or one’s first 10-minute venture to the top, the soft, plastic ice of the tower is the perfect medium to learn on or perfect one’s skills. This is part of what’s attracted climbers like Talbot and extreme sports superstar Will Gadd to teach at seminars at the attraction this season. Gadd has appeared in 100 television projects internationally and established the world’s hardest ice climb, sharpening his skills with the ice pick enough to pick any climb he chooses. “Everybody always thinks of risk in the negative, but you get good things with risk,” he said. “You can learn to ice climb about as fast as you can learn to ski, but you can spend a lifetime learning how to do it well.” The three clinics by Canadian ice climbing experts are a first in the B.C. Interior. The Ice Climbing Series: • Beginners Jan. 19 and 20 with Jim Onega, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. for a cost of $300 • Women Jan. 26 and 27 with Margo Talbot, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., $300 • Advanced Climbers Feb. 9 and 10 with Will Gadd, $400 For adults, a two-day competition, Feb. 23 and 24, will take place with both men’s and women’s divisions. For kids, there is a one-day competition Feb. 23 for those 14 years old and under. Information can be found at corporateheights. ca. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Man arrested in truck full of drugs A 33-year-old man faces possession charges after being busted by Kelowna RCMP with a stash of drugs and cash. Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

A man with a string of arrests to his name is facing possession charges after police pulled him over in a stolen truck and found a stash of drugs. Last Friday, plainclothes RCMP officers from the Prolific Offender Suppression Team and Property Crime Unit noticed a truck, which was believed to be stolen, while working in the downtown core. They pulled over the driver, Austin William Murray, 33, in the 1600-block of Water Street and discovered the vehicle identification number had been removed. Stolen vehicles often have the VIN number removed. Both the driver and the occupant of the vehicle were arrested and police discovered a stash of drugs and cash in the truck. In all, 46 grams of methamphetamine, 1.8 ounces of liquid GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate), 0.5 grams of crack cocaine, 0.4 grams of heroin, drug paraphernalia and $3800 cash was seized. Murray was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a controlled substance. The passenger, also known to police and who has high-level gang associations according to the RCMP, is not facing charges Murray was released from police custody and is scheduled to appear in court next week. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Dial-a-dope drug ring dealers apprehended Three suspected “diala-dope” drug dealers are in custody for trafficking after plainclothes RCMP officers witnessed what they say were several unrelated transactions Wednesday night. Plainclothes members of the Kelowna RCMP Drug Section, Prolific Offender Suppression Team and Property Crime Units were conducting surveillance in various areas throughout the city. After observing multiple unrelated transactions involving three separate suspected drug dealers using a “dial-adope” scheme to peddle their illicit wares, RCMP

officers moved in and made the arrests. Police seized various quantities of cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin as well as drug paraphernalia, cell phones and cash, all consistent with drug trafficking. A 26-year-old Kelowna man, a 23-yearold Falkland man, and a 23-year-old West Kelowna man all face potential charges of trafficking and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. They were being held in custody pending a court appearance scheduled for Thursday. In addition, a 31-year-

To the editor: 221—the number of years ago that the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution came into effect, giving American citizens legal rights to possess and use firearms. It was December 15, 1791. At that time, the United States was comprised of 14 states, still in their infancy. Land and other property needed to be protected as “civilization”, or civil living was only just developing in this new nation. Canadians have much respect for their neighbours south of the 49th parallel. Since patching things up after the War of 1812, the US and Canada have neighboured each other harmoniously, sharing similar ideals under the umbrella of democracy. Still, differences have long existed within the two nations’ tapestries; differences in health care, military emphasis, and yes, laws that extend to the issue of gun possession and use. With the most recent, senseless massacre having just occurred in Newtown, Connecticut, Canadians are quick to join billions of other people around the world in extending their sincere condolences to the families of the

Premier ponders black ink that makes black oil flow

remier Christy Clark has completed the traditional round of year-end interviews with legislative press gallery reporters. Here are excerpts from my discussion with her, dealing with the Enbridge oil pipeline proposal and the balanced budget her government has promised to present in February. TF: On the Enbridge project, are you getting the answers you want on safety? PCC: No, we’re not. We’ve set out our position. The five conditions need to be met, period. (B.C.’s conditions are “world-class” land and marine spill prevention and re-

sponse, meeting legal obligations for aboriginal consultation, passing federal-provincial environmental assessment and a “fair share” of financial benefits.) PCC: We need the Tom Fletcher oilpatch producers, the Alberta government and the federal government to come to the table. We’ve been cross-examining Enbridge. We have not been getting any of the answers that we hoped to get. We haven’t gained a lot of comfort from that process. And none of the other conditions are even close to being met. We are doing our own study of marine traffic. We want to understand the total number of ships that are out there plying our coast right now. Be-

VICTORIA VIEWS

cause all of them have fuel in them, and some are cargo ships that are big enough to have enough (bunker) fuel as a mini-tanker would. Part of this is trying to understand where our level of Coast Guard protection needs to be today, in order to protect us should there be a spill from the existing traffic. TF: Balancing the budget: The finance ministry’s current projections call for an upturn in natural gas royalties in the coming year. With the current glut of gas, isn’t that kind of farfetched? PCC: It is going to be difficult to present a balanced budget, but I think, because we’re going to build in some (forecast) allowance, as we always do, and because we’re going to be completely transparent about the assumptions that have led us there, and because

we aren’t going to fiddle with any of the assumptions that we receive from the experts in the Ministry of Finance, it’s going to be quite clear that we have done it. We have come by a balanced budget honestly. So when it comes to natural gas, you know that the assumption we use in the budget is based on a fairly complex formula that the Ministry of Finance has relied on for probably a decade now. We don’t fiddle with that. There are those who would say we should artificially lower the (revenue projection) number that we use. But if you artificially lower it, what’s to stand in the way of artificially raising it? You either accept the advice of your experts or you don’t. And they’re the experts, not the politicians.

Consumer award winner 3 yrs in a row

WK council deaf to permanent residents To the editor: District of West Kelowna has passed a request for a zoning change that will make way for bulldozing of yet another piece of agriculture land as the vineyard at the end of Inverness Road in Glenrosa makes way for up to 31 additional homes. This property lies at the end of a long dead end road where current residences have had a relatively quite existence for many years. Our concerns include: • Why mix compact or condensed housing into

t e n s

www.kelownacapnews.com A11

a long-standing single family dwelling in a rural neighbourhood? • What will the impact of all the additional vehicles generated from all these new homes have on the quality of life for existing neighbours? • Why did the District of West Kelowna use computer-generated stats to calculate the amount of acceptable traffic rather than have someone monitor traffic especially during soccer season when the roads are choked with vehicles by the old Webber Road school’s sports

field? • Why does the District of West Kelowna not already enforce the no parking lane on Dunbarton Road that is an integral part of our emergency evacuation route? • Why was the “financial contribution” of $45,000 such a key factor in the council’s decisions to support one land speculator vs. so many long time land owner/voter’s who were against this development? • How can the District of West Kelowna allow a couple from out of prov-

ince to cause havoc on an existing neighbourhood then drive away smiling at all the money they make after destroying the quality of life of a neighbourhood they only resided in part time? • How can the voters within the District of West Kelowna trust council members to make decisions that go against public opinion, protests and petitions when it may be their neighbourhood targeted next? I understand how the District of West Kelowna may need the addi-

tional revenue due to so many businesses deciding to build on First Nations Land rather than district land but this burden caused from fragmentation within our district should not be imposed on existing home and property owners. After all, there are lots of large parcels of land that can be dedicated to homes of the same type of zoning with no need to jam in higher density homes in already established rural neighbourhoods.

Generation of Americans have lived in a culture that celebrates lethal weapons

s n U.S. Guns A10 r victims, along with America as a nation for r yet another terrible tragedy having taken place within the United States. As the media monster takes hold of this latest horrific event and covers/exploits every s aspect of what happened and analyzes what might be done to prevent future similar tragedr ies, it is interesting to observe the wide-range of theories and opinions held by Americans. d While many are holding the proliferation of , mental illness accountable, others are pointr ing the finger of blame at America’s desensi. tization to violence in general. Clearly, there g is validity in both these arguments; however, when the role of gun violence is introduced s into the discussion, validity, clarity, and common sense all quickly become blurred. Turn on the TV today and you will hear not only members of the NRA, but also regular, everyday people (some of them parents) in the US saying things like, “Guns don’t kill g people. People kill people.” and, “The government shouldn’t change gun laws and take e the guns away from law-abiding, good people r like us.” These statements reflect a presentday attitude and belief, sewn-in to the American tapestry 221 years ago, that the constitue tional right to bear arms must be defended and upheld. An ABC legal “expert” boasted of his 1extensive experience investigating previous mass killings in the US while he shared his opinions on “The View” (Monday, December 17), saying that he felt the only sure-fire way of preventing these types of mass murders in the future is to put armed guards at every school and/or give guns to teachers.

Wow. As Canadians, upon hearing the widely held American sentiments mentioned in the previous paragraph, a flood of observations and feelings likely surface beyond the ever-present sadness for all the innocent lives that were taken in Connecticut. Hate begets hate. Violence begets violence. Generation after generation of American citizen has lived and breathed within a culture that celebrates the inclusion of lethal weapons within its fabric to the point where many have become oblivious to the destructive role that guns have played in the deterioration of American society. Give teachers guns? Place armed guards at every school? Do these “civilized”, “good” Americans hear what they are saying? Fight guns with more guns? An addict must realize that the only way to truly reclaim good health and prosperity is by purging away the problem (whether it be drugs, alcohol, etc.). America needs a national intervention of epic proportions to realize that in stubbornly clinging to an out-dated law that was written in a different time and era 221 years ago, they are perpetuating their own slow demise through their complacent attitude towards violence; especially gun violence. Sadly, there is a percentage of the population in every country around the world that suffers from mental illness. Sadly, Hollywood and the video game industry have played a significant role in desensitizing people to violence. Undoubtedly, a mixture of these two problems—a mentally ill person who becomes desensitized to violence and the surrounding world—is a recipe for disaster (as we have seen with these mass murderers). Tragedies similar to that in Newtown have

▼ YEAR END INTERVIEW

Spring election budget thoughts Fletcher from A10 TF:Right now we have a deficit gap of more than a billion dollars. Can that be closed without significant spending cuts, or tax increases, or both? PCC: You will see when we get to the budget. And it will be absolutely transparent how we got there. (Laughs)

Nice try. TF: If the B.C. Liberals form a government in May, will the election date be changed so we don’t have to have this discussion about questionable spring election budgets? PCC: It’s not part of the plan today, but I’m sure it’s a discussion we’ll have in the next four years. I know that people

happened in Norway. They have happened in Great Britain and in Canada. They can happen anywhere in the world. But why is it happening most frequently in the United States? The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. Canadians care about Americans. The civilized world cares about Americans. We are all human beings and therefore we care. It is because we care that we hope the United States can step back and realize: enough excuses - enough falling back on the constitution as a justification. You the people of the United States should be able to recognize in this modern era that enough is enough. The word amendment means an alteration, correction of faults, or improvement. Now is the time when the world, along with all victims of gun violence and their families beseech the United States to further amend its constitution so that the availability, amount and use of firearms are all reduced in the interest of peace. America can amend its constitution. Even in doing so, with the amount of guns already present in the United States and the deep-seeded devotion that many Americans have to “gun culture”, the road to reduced gun violence in America will be long, bumpy and slow moving. Of course, that doesn’t mean that Americans should avoid that difficult road. As Robert Frost said, Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. J. Durose, Kelowna

▼ MENTAL HEALTH

Resolve to do meaningful work in 2013

s the year draws to a close, many of us look back and think of how we’d like the next 12 months to go. It’s the season for New Year’s resolutions. Since most adults spend the bulk of their time at work, it is a common place to start when it comes to improving our future. In order to feel content and fulfilled in our lives, it helps a lot if we find our work to be both enjoyable and meaningful. A recent book by Martin Seligman, called Authentic Happiness, differentiates between momentary and authentic happiness and gives some insights into how to live life to achieve happiness by being true to ourselves. In the area of work, the book describes three kinds of situations: work as job; work as career; and work as calling. When your work is a job, you do it simply for the money you get from it. If you weren’t being paid, you wouldn’t be doing it. If your work is a career, you are concerned primarily with advancing. Your motivation comes from the potential to move forward. When work is a calling, it is something you do for the fulfillment you gain from it. Money and advancement are not primary factors for you and even if these were not present, you would continue to do the work. Obviously, work that falls into the category of calling tends to be the most meaningful and produces the most true contentment. It may not be possible for all of us to find work that can truly be labeled a calling, but this book identifies a few tips for moving closer to that goal. • Be content. If you’re constantly concerned about making more money, your work will continue to be a job to you. Of course everyone needs enough money to live and support their

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer family, but beyond that, studies show more money in itself does not bring increased happiness. Instead of constantly trying to get a bigger slice of the pie, it helps to learn to be content. This frees your mind and energy to focus on more meaningful things. • Find a cause that intersects with your strengths. Take time to identify and develop your strengths. What are you good at? What comes easily to you and what do you enjoy? Once you are aware of your unique strengths use them to work toward a cause that is meaningful to you. It helps if your cause is greater than yourself. • Exercise your strengths. Once you know firmly where your strengths lie, keep working to develop them. Try to use your strengths every day and you will gain gratification. • Think in terms of helping people. Generally, a calling involves a sense of contribution. Try to find work where you can use your strengths to help people whether that means helping individuals in some way or improving the world somehow with your work. If you focus on these sorts of questions as you think about your current work or consider a new occupation, it will help you toward work that is more meaningful to you and thus a more authentically happy place to be spending the majority of your waking hours.

Gaming grants distributed locally Habitat to open ReStore The province is using community gaming revenue to help fund seven Kelowna-area organizations. The grants, which total $330,200, are going to: • Big Brothers Big Sisters of The Okanagan Society—$150,000 • Ukrainian Self-Reliance Association of British Columbia—Kelowna branch— $10,000 • Kelowna & District Share Society—$34,000

• Kelowna Community Food Bank Society—$110,000 • 903 RCACC Sponsoring Society—$5,200 • Kelowna Central Lions Club—$18,000 • Navy League of Canada (Kelowna branch)—$3,000 “Gaming grants are a great way to support groups in the community,” said Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick. “This $330,200 in-

vestment will certainly make a real difference in the Kelowna area.” Community gaming grants are a way for non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues. During the government’s last fiscal year, in 2011/12, Victoria distributed a total of $135 million in gaming grants for eligible community programs and services across B.C. About 5,300 com-

munity groups benefited from funding during 2011/12. This year, across B.C., 145 recipients will share $5.9 million in the latest round of grants alone. Grant recipients include programs for human and social services, arts and culture, and sport. The grants help local groups provide important services for British Columbia families, says the government.

Police target school-zone speeders A single Central Okanagan Traffic Services member recently targeted school zones this month with astounding results. Over the course of just a few hours, police found a number of speeding infractions in school zones near Casorso Elementary School despite only targeting vehicles travelling in excess of 50 km/h. The number of violations is quite high, especially considering

children are at risk, according to police. On Dec. 3, over a period of 90 minutes, five drivers were stopped for speeding in a school zone, one for no insurance, one for speeding within a municipality, and one for a driver’s license infraction. December 11 yielded similar results in the same 90-minute time frame with five drivers stopped for speeding in a school zone and one

other infraction. Over a three-hour period on Dec.12, 15 drivers were stopped for speeding in a school zone, one driver for using an electronic device, one vehicle defect and one driver not wearing a seat belt. Four of those contacts were with commercial vehicles. School zones speed restrictions are in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every school day.

The local chapter of Habitat for Humanity will open a ReStore in West Kelowna to sell donated building materials at affordable prices. More than 70 ReStores are operated by Habitat for Humanity affiliates across Canada, but the West Kelowna outlet will be the first one in the Okanagan. Christina Nuffield, chair of Habitat’s ReStore committee, predicts that the store will open to the public in March 2013. The store will be located at 1793 Ross Rd. near the intersection of Bartley and Highway 97, a space formerly occupied by City Furniture. Starting on Jan. 5, 2013, Habitat for Humanity volunteers will be at the store on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon to accept donations of good quality building materials and reusable items such as kitchen sinks and lighting. A complete list of acceptable donations is available online at www. hfhkelowna.ca. Nuffield plans to hold information sessions in

mid-January for persons interested in becoming involved with this new community effort. The store will mostly be staffed by volunteers. “ReStores are a winwin-win,” explained Edward McLean, chairman of Habitat for Humanity Kelowna’s board of directors. “The proceeds help

Mumbai slums entrepreneurs focus of research project In the slums of Mumbai, millions of women and girls are helping to support their families by working from home in difficult, unsanitary conditions with minimal financial gain. Their efforts play a surprisingly large role in India’s business sector. They produce a vast amount of low-cost products—from electronics, garments and footwear to trinkets, jewelry and food—which is often marketed in shopping malls or exported at high

Kanchan Sarker prices. Yet they receive none of the profits. Kanchan Sarker, sessional lecturer of sociology at UBC Okanagan

campus, is trying to understand, and hopefully improve civic amenities for the home-based women workers of Mumbai’s slums. The project will also attempt to identify whether organizing women workers would help with issues such as domestic violence. “For home-based working women, access and quality of civic amenities are a matter of personal as well as professional survival,” says Sarker. “Rights to the liv-

ing space, as well as good quality water and sanitation facilities, electricity and sewage disposal, are important. ” Sarker notes that slums provide affordable living places for the urban working poor and play a very effective role in making the city liveable. “Slums are generators of employment and a source of cheap labour which benefit the urban classes that oppose their existence. “Instead of demolishing slums, the authorities

should try and upgrade them.” A significant challenge is combating the community’s perception of women’s home-based work, which is often devalued. “Women empowerment is at the heart of this project,” says Sarker. “However, since the issues affect men as well, women’s collective bargaining on these fundamental needs and services should have a positive effect for the entire community.”

The research will focus on three Mumbai slums, including Dharavi—commonly known as Asia’s largest slum settlement. A mapping study will identify each slum’s features, settlement patterns and social factors. Some 50 women in each slum will be surveyed on social and work-related issues; indepth interviews will be conducted of group leaders, job contractors and civic officials. Focus groups with

women home-based workers are also planned. “We hope our research acts as a tool for informing civic and government authorities, urban planning experts, academics, students and activists on the issues faced by homebased workers and the slum-dwelling communities in the city,” says Sarker. “The project attempts to encourage home workers to use their collective strength to address issues that affect their work, health and family lives.”

NEWS ▼ CHARLIE’S CHRISTMAS ANGELS

Fun time of the year also a chance to give thanks

ot sure about your household, but the House of Hodge is now officially in full fledged Christmas holidays mode. Pretty much every conceivable corner is covered in some sort of festive frill—or will be by the time Christmas Eve rolls around. I love this time of year and have since I was a wee lad who drove his parents around the bend with Christmas enthusiasm. I am confident my true joy for this time of year stems from the fact that as a boy I lived in a certain level of fear everyday because of my father’s unpredictable temper and mood swings. Dad was an amazingly bright man in many ways, with a huge passion for his community and a very kind and com-

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge passionate side. However, that was all routinely tucked away when within his own home domain where often violence and anger reigned supreme. Mother paid the main price of Dad’s failing health, psychological short circuiting, and own childhood demons that would erupt without warning, but I was a suitable backup for whatever frustration remained. I loved my dad but he never learned love as a youngster and struggled with showing it as an adult. However, at Christ-

mas my father always seemed to be on his best behaviour for a few days before Christmas, and I learned that in my youthful home that truly calmness represented a safe time—and therefore truly a holiday to be thankful about. Ironically, Dad also always found a total stranger or someone who had nowhere to be during Christmas Day, and he would bring them home for dinner. It is a tradition we carry on today. So, ironically, I have my father to largely thank for my love of Christmas. Then, as now, my life was often blessed by the kind and caring actions of others who helped to make my world a brighter, happier, safer place to be. Literally hundreds of times in my younger life,

friends, casual acquaintances, and sometimes total strangers would simply show up at the right moment and do or say something meaningful that meant a lot. Sometimes it was a small gesture or kind word, other times it was life-saving or life-altering actions. Regardless, I have truly been blessed with many amazing and kind folks in my world and all of that has led to more than 25 years of writing an annual Charlie’s Christmas Angels lists. Angels are simply folks who have gone above and beyond to assist or help myself or others. I also invite folks to send me their list. And so, here are my angels and some of those submitted by others. Former co-Kelowna city councillor and friend

Seasons Greetings! The Capital News office hours the week of Christmas will be as follows: Monday, Dec. 24 - 8:00 - 3:00 Tuesday, Dec. 25 - closed Wednesday, Dec. 26 - closed

The staff and management of the Capital News wish you and yours a wonderful Happy Holiday!

Michele Rule lists Bruce Stranaghan from Integra Tire in Kelowna as an angel for being a driving force behind the Carma Project, which gives good, reliable cars to families in need. More about the project at www.thecarmaproject.com. “Bruce quietly goes along making everything come together in a beautiful way,” Michele writes. Her personal angel is partner Frithjof Petscheleit for his kind, generous, thoughtful and sincere heart. My friend Tia says her angels include Micki Smith for the relentless work she does to help women in need in the Okanagan community, and Robert Whiteley for showing grace and courage in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles and for the continuous volunteer work he does on behalf of the Bridge Youth and Family Services. Lifetime buddy, singer extraordinaire, and one of my personal angels Deb Stone says an unknown neighbour is her angel. “He brings his little tractor with a plough on it and clears the side walk on the entire street before most of us are up in the morning. I don’t know his last name but his first

name is Morris. Every once in awhile we will see him go by with his faithful border collie riding on the back. Now that’s an angel!” Terese Derosiers nominates Ozanam House and its board of directors as angels. Ozanam is one of two recovery houses for men left in Kelowna. Artist and humanitarian Cherie Hanson says her angels are, “People who post uplifting memos on Facebook. Those who put up beautiful, inspiring pictures. Those who find a way, even when tragedy strikes, to remind us to stay in a state of love and compassion. Those people are my angels and lift up my soul.” My own number one angel, Teresa, has a couple of special folks on her Angel list including Vicky Glabus (her Purolator lady). “She is always happy and smiling.” Tez also names Marlene Lang, her best buddy since 1972. “She has always been generous, bubbly, and fun to be around.” As well, Teresa acknowledges our wonderful neighbours Cam and Mel across the street, who clean our driveway without a word or expecting anything in return. And last but not least,

on our list are two wonderful human beings in Bernie and Bettina, sweethearts with their kindness and constant encouragement.” My personal Angel list tends to be a little lengthy, and I am sure I will remember more just the exact second this leaves my computer for print. However, my opening salvo of angel names includes Paul Beaupre, Jim Krahn, Dave Stratten and Don Moore from the ‘Shop,’ who have each individually helped me in so many ways through a very tough year. Thanks boys! Other amazing people in my life this past year include Sandy and Randy Shier, Curtis Tulman, Elie Marchante, Les Thompson, Jan Johnston, John Adams, Eileen Cassidy, Larry Hollier, Graeme James, Jimmy LeGuilloux, Dr. Graeme McCaulley and Alice Jeffries at the Kelowna Respiratory Clinic and staff at the Vancouver Lung Transplant Clinic, Al Paterson, John Richey of the local Red Cross, Yves Beliveau, Trudy Janicki, and Kamel Abougoush. From Tez and I, our blessings to all of you folks in Readerland and may you have a peaceful and wonderful Christmas.

Interior Savings Internet campaign beneficial to the United Way Thanks to its Twitter and Facebook fans, Interior Savings will be donating more than $20,000 to local United Way branches this week. Over the past two months, the credit union has been running a social media campaign to help it give away thousands of dollars to local charities. For every new fan who ‘liked’ their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ InteriorSavings, Interior Savings pledged to donate $10 to United Way branches throughout the B.C. Interior—up to a total of $20,000. Twitter followers were also invited to join in the pre-holiday giveaway by nominating their favourite local charity for a share of an additional $5,000. United Way is a charity that Interior Savings chief executive officer Kathy Conway holds in great regard. Conway has been the United Way Central Okanagan Campaign Chair for the past two years, and has helped to establish a community partnership between Interior Savings and United Way. “At Interior Savings, we are proud to support United Way. Through ‘Success by 6’ and other funded programs, United Way provides help and resources for young children and other vulnerable people within our communities.

“It is our hope that this donation will help United Way to provide some comfort to these people this holiday season and throughout the year.” Marla O’Brien, executive director, United Way Central and South Okanagan Similkameen, acknowledged the importance of contributions such as this to the continuation of their work. “United Way works towards creating a better life for everyone on our communities and we accomplish this with the support of community-minded corporations, like Interior Savings. “Thank you Interior Savings for donating over $20,000—in addition to your annual United Way staff-supported campaign. Your leadership truly makes a lasting positive impact throughout the B.C. Interior,” she said. The winners of the Interior Savings Twitter campaign and a $700 donation each are as follows: • The Carma Project • Kamloops Elizabeth Fry Society • United Way Central and Southern Okanagan Similkameen • United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo • Kamloops Food Bank • Kamloops People in Motion

Columbia is 68 per cent and Manitoba/Saskatchewan is 62 per cent.) Men are more likely than woman to take advantage of Boxing Day sales (66 per cent versus 58 per cent respectively) Overall, Canadians plan to spend an average of $1,610 on the holidays this year (includes gifts, travel, entertainment and decorations). Su McVey, vice-president, BMO Bank of Montreal, noted that while Boxing Day is a great opportunity to take advantage of deeply discounted items, not accounting for spending during this period can cause some to spend outside of their means and keep them from staying within their holiday budgeting parameters. “Boxing Day is treated by many as a shopping holiday in Canada, and is as big as Black Friday in the U.S.,” said McVey. “Given that the majority of Canadians plan to spend during this period,

it’s essential that Boxing Day spending is accounted for in the overall household holiday spending budget and not treated as a financial after-thought.” McVey added that three-in-ten (29 per cent) Canadians set a fixed budget for their holiday spending, while half (47 per cent) set a loose or flexible budget, and twoin-ten (21 per cent) do not set a budget for holiday shopping. Boxing Day is an important period for Canadian retailers, as it represents one of the biggest sales days on the calendar year. BMO Economics projects Canadian holiday retail sales receipts, excluding auto and gasoline sales, will be almost $60 billion. This represents an increase of between one and two per cent year-overyear—or a rise of between $600 million and $1.2 billion—during the November to December sales period.

Options for when giving gets tough

Internet offers innovative ways to help others without spending a dime The tree is up, the gifts are wrapped and the neighbourhood’s aglow. There are cookies to bake, pageants to see, and parties to attend. The busy holiday season is in full swing. It’s a time of family and friends. Of good will and giving back. And there’s no shortage of opportunities to help those in need. You can donate toys, food or money, or volunteer your time in the community. But embracing the spirit of giving and doing our part to help, isn’t always easy, particularly when times are tough, budgets are tight, and spare time, let alone spare change, is in short supply. The good news? Thanks to technology, and some creative thinking by organizations with a heart for charity, innovative options that let you make a difference without spending a cent are just a click away!

Eight Ok Rockets named to all-star game Eight members of the Okanagan Rockets will take part in the 2012-13 B.C. Major Midget League all-star game Jan. 18 in Langley. The six players representing the Rockets are goaltender Brenden Mills, defencemen Alex Gran and Joe Gatenby, and forwards Brenden Wagner, Brett Mennear, and Josh Blanchard. Rockets head coach James Eccles has been named the coach of Team Red, while general manager David Michaud had been named the manager of the event for the second time in three seasons. “Overall, our group is honoured to have such strong representation at this year’s event,” said general manager David Michaud. “It’s always tough to see so many of our players who are certainly deserving of going and representing us not getting the nod. It’s unfortunate, but the truth is that we feel we have 20 all-stars on the Rockets this year. The group that has received the nomination will proudly represent our program on behalf of our entire group.” Mills is in his seconnd year with the Rockets and is tied for third in wins (9) and has posted a 3.15 goals against average for the Rockets this season. Gran is a three-year veteran of the Rockets and will be making his first all-star game appearance. The 17-year-old Kelowna native leads all BCMML defencemen in points with 28. With 98 games played in a Rockets uniform, Gran is already the all-time leader in games played for the club. Gatenby, in his first year with the Rockets has made an immediate impact, with two goals and 11 assists. Gatenby, 15, is a second round pick of the WHL’s Kelowna Rockets. “Joe has made a very nice transition from bantam

hockey to the BCMML,” said Michaud. “He skates the puck well and has displayed excellent vision. He logs a fair amount of ice time for us, especially considering he is a first year player on an older team. I’m expecting big things from Joe in the 2nd half of our season, and into the playoffs for us.” Wagner is in his second season with the Rockets and was named captain of the club in September. Wagner has set career highs in both goals (19) and points (39) already this season. Mennear is in his second season with the Rockets and has already surpassed his totals from a season ago. He is third in Rockets scoring and seventh in league scoring with 15 goals and 23 assists for 38 points in 24 games. Blanchard is in his 1st season with the Rockets and has made a seamless transition from the Tier 1 Jr. Rockets. Blanchard is tied for the lead league in goals with 24 and ranks second in the league with 45 points in just 24 games. Blanchard recently was listed by the Everett Silvertips of the WHL. Head coach James Eccles will make his first appearance as a head coach at the event after being an assistant last season. Eccles is in his second year with the Rockets and has posted a career record of 38-14-12, good for a .688 winning percentage. The all-star weekend will feature BCMML doubleheaders for 10 of the 11 teams. The Rockets will face the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds for two games. In the meantime, the Rockets will be busy over the holiday break as they head to Calgary for the Mac’s Midget Tournament. Okanagan will open the tournament on Boxing Day against the Carolina U18 Hurricanes.

Brothers headed downhill fast Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

DAVID BUZZARD/CONTRIBUTOR

KELOWNA mountain bike racer Bas van Steenbergen and his brother Tom, have

taken the sport of downhill biking by storm, placing first and second in a U.S. based racing circuit this year.

A couple of Kelowna mountain biking brothers are looking to the new year to continue to take the world of downhill mountain biking by storm. After making the switch from BMX riding to downhill mountain biking a couple of years ago, Bas and Tom van Steenbergen have found themselves climbing the ladder of the sport, culminating earlier this year in a couple of invites to the prestigious Crankworx mountain bike festival in Whistler. And they weren’t intimidated by the top riders from around the world at Crankworx. Bas, 18, placed third in the pro dual

slalom event while Tom, 16, ended up winning the junior dual slalom event and the best trick on the slope style course. The excellent results have both young riders looking forward to even more solid performances next year. “This is only my second season racing downhill but I am definitely sure that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life,” said Bas, who placed first overall in the Northwest Cup series for junior men. “Next year I want to get a decent amount of experience…as my first year in the elite male category. My main goal is to improve on the mistakes I have made and become an overall better rider,” Bas said.

Younger brother Tom also competed in the United Statesbased Northwest Cup and finished in second place in his first year competing against his older brother. The pair signed oneyear sponsorship deal with Transition Bikes to compete in the Northwest Cup. The brothers have been riding bikes since growing up in Holland where they were into BMX riding. When they moved with their family to Kelowna nearly three years ago, both brothers made the transition to downhill mountain biking where they have clearly found a niche. Along with racing, Younger brother Tom has taken to slope style, an event where riders

take jumps and perform tricks. Earlier this year he won the best trick at the Wam Bam Dirt Jump Jam and placed second at the Best Trick at the Claymore Challenge. Those placings got him invited to Crankworx in Whistler where he also won the best trick event. “Dirt jumping is a passion of mine,” said Tom. “I started training with (well known mountain biker) Casey Groves and I surprised myself with my progression.” As for what the future holds, the van Steenbergen brothers are looking to compete even more in 2013 and plan to take part in some international races in Europe next season. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

WK Warrior Monk is NCAA-bound After four years in the B.C. Hockey League, West Kelowna Warriors defenceman Josh Monk can breathe a little easier after accepting a scholarship to Providence College in the NCAA. Now in his final BCHL season, Monk has solidified his role as one of the elite defencemen in the league this year with the Warriors. He has three goals and 16 assists for 10 points in 24 games, already more than his previous career

Owls sweep 2 in valley hoops

The Kelowna Owls senior boys basketball squad pushed its Okanagan Valley AAA league record to a perfect 4-0 with a pair of wins this week. KSS was without the services of leading scorer John Katerberg for both games as the Grade 12 mguard is in Saskatchewan rfor the Christmas break. On Monday, the Owls pjumped out to a 19-2 lead then cruised to a 77-36 victory over the Salmon eArm Golds. d In a balanced scor-ing-attack Malcom Hlady ewas the only Owl to reach double figures with 21 -points on 9-fof-12 shooting including 3-of-4 from hbeyond the arc. Darnrion Bunce added six reIbounds. On Tuesday, the visiting Rutland Voodoos couldn’t contain 6-foot-4 Owl forward Buzz Truss -in a 76-34 route. - Truss led the way with e30 points on 12-of-19 shooting and was 6-of-6 from the free throw line. -Captain Joel Burma and Darrion Bunce each had 11 points.

The KSS Owls girls squad is at Riverside for a tournament this weekend. Kelowna will play games against Handsworth, Riverside, Brookswood, and WJ Mouat. Like the KSS boys,

the Owls girls posted a pair of wins in Okanagan league play this week. On Monday, Cassidy Kapaiwai and Kiana Lalonde scored 16 points each in a 72-30 victory over Salmon Arm. Brooke Briscoe added 11 points and six rebounds, while Carly Corrado had four steals, 1 block and six assists. On Tueday, Lalonde rang up 27 points as the Owls defeated Rutland 85-35.

I’ve got that with Providence, and I’m happy about that. I just hope it works out now.” Monk was acquired last season by the Warriors after starting the season with the Cowichan Valley Capitals. The Langley native also played for Salmon Arm and Surrey in a four year BCHL career. “He couldn’t be more deserving,” said Warriors’ head coach Rylan Ferster, who originally recruited Monk in Salmon Arm. “Good things happen to good people. He’s a great teammate and a great player.” Ferster also knows Monk is going to be invaluable at Providence.

“He’s not just dynamic at one thing – he’s a very complete player,” said Ferster. Monk plans on studying business when he heads to Rhode Island next year.

It was a first for the Kelowna United Football Club and a fundraiser for those in need during the Christmas season last weekend at the Capital News Centre. Kelowna United FC held its inaugural Coaches Game and Fundraiser at the CNC indoor soccer fields last Saturday, raising money and non-perishable food items for the food bank. Along with field time donated by the COYSA Indoor League, coaches were asked for a non-perishable food item or a cash donation to play in the game and their teams were challenged to raise money as well. The game was well attended by coaches and spectators. A total of nine boxes of non-perishable food items was donated along with $2,816.50 in donations that was given to the Kelowna Food Bank on behalf of all the teams. The top fundraising team in boys and girls won a coaching session with the International coaches this summer. Here are the teams that raised the

Colton Dachwitz was among several Kelowna Chiefs players who helped out some local kids with crafts on display at the Rutland branch of the regional library.

Crafts with Chiefs

The third annual Christmas Crafts with the Kelowna Chiefs was a major success. Players joined kids with the Boys and Girls Club at the Okanagan Regional Library Rutland Branch to make crafts, read stories, plus celebrate the holidays. Each child teamed up with their favourite Chief and created crafts featuring photos of the players. They were then autographed for the kids to take home for their own Christmas tree. Besides the ornaments, children were also given a gift from a Chiefs sponsor. Following the crafts, kids curled up and lis-

tened to ‘Twas the Night before Christmas and the 12 Days of a Canadian Christmas read by Captain Kyle Clerke and Alex Fortin. The ornaments will remain on display at the Rutland Library until Christmas. For more information or for tickets visit: www. KelownaChiefs.com.

EARLIER this month, members of the Kelowna Prostate Cancer Support & Aware-

The majority of the donations raised were by members of the support group as well as friends and neighbours by saving all their pennies since September.

onstipation is a frequent gastrointestinal problem that can cause a lot of discomfort and put strain on the digestive system. Being constipated means not being able to have regular bowel movements but it can also include having difficulty passing stools, hard stools, or a feeling of blockage or of incomplete passage after a bowel movement. Fortunately, constipation is usually temporary, but chronic constipation can cause further problems or can be a sign of an underlying disorder. A number of factors can cause constipation, including not drinking enough fluids, eating a poor diet or not enough fiber, not enough physical activity, illness, long term use of laxatives, or as a result of certain medications or diseases. In western medicine, the solution for constipation in most cases is simple and involves eliminating the factors that are causing the problem. In other words, eating lots of dietary fibers (vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains), drinking a lot of fluids, getting regular exercise, and taking time for the toilet and not ignoring the urge for a bowel movement. However, in some cases, constipation can be a chronic problem that isn’t easy to resolve in spite of our efforts. This is where acupuncture can help. In Chinese medicine, constipation results from a stagnation of internal

The Grade 2 students at Aberdeen Hall Preparatory School have donated more than 500 lbs. of new toys and clothing to the Kelowna and District’s SHARE Society. SHARE distributes clothing, furniture and houseware items to individuals in need in addition to supporting families through their Christmas Hamper Program. “Christmas means giving and sharing. It doesn’t just mean getting,” said Aberdeen student Felicity Byrne. Classmate Isabella Dreger added: “Christmas means caring, sharing and loving.”

NEEDLE NOTES

James Kaufman heat and dryness resulting in a lack of fluids, or stagnation of the flow of energy due to different factors such as emotional upsets, deficiency of qi-energy or blood from internal injury, strain, stress or a lack of physical exercise. Constipation is classified into five categories that inhibit the proper function of the large intestine, as well as the spleen, stomach and kidneys. In order to understand what type of constipation we are dealing with, we look at other symptoms that a person may also be experiencing along with the constipation. Heat constipation will have added symptoms of flushed, red complexion, fever, thirst, dark, scanty urine, halitosis, abdominal distention and some-

times even pain, and elimination every several days. Qi stagnation type will have symptoms of frequent belching, rib distention or pain, reduced food intake, and abdominal distention. Qi deficiency type will show a difficulty in elimination with the desire to go, lack of strength to move the bowels, stools will be neither dry nor soft, shortness of breath, fatigue, spontaneous sweating. Blood deficiency constipation will have other symptoms of dry hard stool, pale complexion, dizziness and vertigo, palpitations, pale lips and nails, pale tongue. With cold type constipation there will be difficulty eliminating, large quantities of urine, pale complexion, dizziness and vertigo, cold limbs, a preference for heat and aversion to cold, abdominal coldness and pain, and cold achy low back and knees. It is interesting that Chinese medicine has such specific differenti-

ations for constipation, whereas western medicine sees all of the different types of constipation as the single same problem. Once again, it is this very specific diagnosis that makes acupuncture so effective. Because we are pinpointing where exactly the problem lies, we really get an understanding of what pattern of imbalance is causing the constipation to occur. From there it is a matter of targeting the imbalance and correcting it in order to restore the body’s normal, healthy functioning. This in turn, helps to resolve not only the problem of constipation and improve digestion, but also help with the various and seemingly unrelated symptoms that tend to go along with the constipation.

Old Nick takes to the forests in a celebration of Christmas

Kristin Froneman

BLACK PRESS REPORTER

Snow gently falls on cedars as horse-drawn sleighs pull hordes of people in their warm, woollen mittens and furry toques through the wintry landscape. Sounds like a Christmas card come to life, doesn’t it? For those who have made tracks to Spallumcheen, you know the scene is the picture perfect trappings of a Caravan Farm Theatre winter sleigh ride production. But don’t let the idyllic setting fool you on what you are about to witness. This year’s show is a fast, funny and flatulent take on Christmas

that will make you feel as warm as a log burning in the hearth, made even more toasty with a sip of Baileys and hot chocolate around the bonfire before the sleighs arrive to pick up their passengers. Written by dynamic duo TJ Dawe and Michael Rinaldi, Old Nick is the Fringe fest faves’ rather warped take on holiday traditions from around the world. I use the word warped in a good way. The show features a humourous storyline with just enough innuendo so that adults will “get” certain jokes, and very silly characters that will enrapture the kids. Yes, it’s the perfect family show, as long as little Johnny and Sally are

wearing their long underwear and wrapped up in snowsuits — it can get mighty cold out there on Caravan’s 80 acres of field and forest. Old Nick takes the audience beyond the scope to its back 40, an open field, to experience the different and marvelous scenes. The show has some of the best sets I’ve seen at a Caravan winter production (and I’ve seen a lot of ‘em) courtesy of set designer Marshall McMahen, who also worked on this summer’s Caravan production, The Notorious Robber Right and His Robber Bride. The scenes, glowing beautifully out of the darkness by lighting mastermind Stephan Bircher, range from a miner’s shack that I would love to tow to the lake to use as a summer residence, to a cozy Christmas home scene, to the palace of a goat demon (more on him later) to a mining shaft. The show starts at the aforementioned shack, located in front of the bonfire in the farm’s “village”, where Pete the Chimney Sweep (Toby Berner), a take on Zwarte Piet, based on the Dutch-Belgium character Black Peter, leads us into the story before being chased off by the shack’s resident curmudgeon Nick (Jamie Norris). Off in the woods, thanks to our two-horse open sleigh pulled by

He’s a burly, crusty miner who lives alone and covets his treasures. And you will pity the fools who attempt to steal the gold and silver trinkets from his shack. Let’s just say they get “sacked” in a beating that also includes uprooted trees and boulders. Yes, it’s warped, but all in good fun. We are also led to the

tinseled home of Clea (Vanessa Holmes) and Wendell (Tom Jones), who are doting on their new baby while hanging up stinky stockings and preparing just as stinky treats to ward off the arrival of a very bad “Santa.” (Yes, even worse than that character played by Billy Bob Thornton, though just as gassy thanks to some stale buttermilk.) Krampus (Kevin Corey) is the beast-like character who steals chil-

dren away at Christmastime to throw them into a pit. He’s accompanied by his witchy and easyto-hypnotize side-kick Befana (Rachel Aberle). The theft of the baby leads us to Krampus’ giant horned lair, where we learn where mistletoe and other Christmas traditions come from (wink, wink.) Then it’s off to Nick’s mine we go for the redemption scene and the emergence of the man who would become Santa

It’s all good, old fashioned, warped fun thanks to Dawe and Rinaldi, director Courtenay Dobbie, who brought their shenanigans to life, and the crew, including Eric Macklem who has created some museum worthy costumes (Krampus’ costume alone would make a taxidermist proud.) Hearty applause also goes to the fast-moving and talented cast who cover more terrain in frigid weather than a polar expedition — three times a night, no less. Now that’s warped.

▼ CD REVIEWS

Music sometimes too close to evolving events for comfort

KE$HA: WARRIOR

A couple of days ago the airwaves went silent when it came to broadcasting Ke$ha’s newest hit Die Young due to the sad and insane doings at Newtown. Off the top of my head I can think of a couple of other times that cruel history and ill fates have affected and even ruined rock/pop music careers. The New Zealand band Split Enz had the beginnings of a huge hit in the U.K. with a wonderful song titled Six Months In A Leaky Boat just as Britain declared war against Argentina over the Falkland Islands. The tune was suddenly considered a morale drain in that Britain was on the other side of the ocean and the war would be conducted almost exclusively with the navy. Oddly enough, Split Enz were playing in Kelowna at the old Memorial Arena just as things were evolving and it was obvious the NATO allies to Britain would probably ban the burgeoning hit too and you could tell Split Enz kinda knew it and their performance that night, 30 years ago, was less than exhilarating. Luckily, Split Enz folded to become much of Crowded House who enjoyed lots of hits later on.

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell Then there is the case of the late ’60s prog rock band simply named Family who were stars in the U.K. and looked to be ready to have a big breakthrough in the USA until the Charlie Manson’s ‘family’ set about their murderous shenanigans and essentially put the nail in the coffin of that bands’ career (you can download their three biggest Brit hits Burlesque, Its Only A Movie and Sat’d’y Barfly). No one would book a band with that name but Family members went on to join King Crimson, Blind Faith, Streetwalkers, Asia and even Rod Stewart’s band which shows the pedigree of that group’s talents. And, luckily for this beleaguered reviewer, I now don’t have to take up much more space about Ke$ha’s less than spectacular album that is full of crass juvenile songs and moronic chants about club life, hedonism and one night stands. Warrior is mostly an uninspired would-be

party album full of dross and calculation and I’m not sure if Ke$ha will earn another hit off of this trivial release thus putting her career in jeopardy. But Ke$ha has cleaned up somewhat— in the liner photos she doesn’t physically have shite all over her. Incidentally, radio in America has also banned Foster The People’s Pumped Up Kicks because it references shootings at school. Makes me wonder how harmless pop music can be banned so quickly (given the first amendment, free speech) but military assault weapons and overload capacity bullet clips (re: the second amendment, to bear arms and other musketry) takes forever and probably never. C-

BUDDY GUY: LIVE AT LEGENDS (SILVERTONE)

Buddy Guy owns the hottest blues club in Chicago and probably the world with his venue called Buddy Guy’s Legends. And Guy is a legendary blues master who, at age 75, seems like he has been around forever because he was discovered so young, beginning his professional career as a teenager in the mid-’50s of the last century.

Take time to read with your children

Unfortunately Guy has not released a very good concert album here and maybe he was just a little too comfortable in his own digs where his performance suffers for it. There are only 10 tunes on this 54-minute CD that is bolstered with three new studio recordings. On the plus side is a superb rendering of Mannish Boy from his old mentor’s songbook Muddy Waters and Guy offers a splendid take of his old original Best Damn Fool where he strangles the hell out of his guitar neck. But after this, things get overly indulgent with a ribald, oddly arranged, too long take of Willie Dixon’s I Just Wanna Make Love To You while the two closing medleys are a mystery. Guy pairs up Little Walters Boom Boom with Cream’s Strange Brew followed closely by Jimi Hendrix’ Voodoo Chile with (again) Cream’s Sunshine Of Your Love for separate medleys. But both tunes are less than three minutes long and sound like haphazard toss offs that have no context nor reason while they leave Guy’s own better originals on the shelf. The three new studio tracks are much better.

Guy is remarkably incendiary on the original Polka Dot Love that features Reese Wynans on keys and Dave Grissom on guitar while Guy offers a slow tongue in cheek take of Muddy Waters Country Boy where he plays the rural rube with some of the lyrics. Mostly, this hybrid concert/studio album is best for only the committed fan. B-

A GRAMMY SALUTE TO WHITNEY HOUSTON: (RCA)

Just last week I mentioned the new two-CD Deluxe Hits collection re-

GA OKANA

leased for Whitney Houston and speculated that her label would somehow repackage her relatively small back catalogue ad infinitum. But I didn’t think it would be done in just one week. That very recent hits collection was subtitled I Will Always Love You whereas this Grammy Tribute DVD riffs on that title with We Will Always Love You with performances by contemporaries such as Celine Dion, Usher, Britney Spears, Jennifer Hudson, LL Cool J, Halle Berry, Yolanda Adams, Cece Winans and others.

There are interviews with these contributors and their fond remembrances while hard core collectors may want this DVD for Houston’s Super Bowl XXV National Anthem as well as her first ever TV appearance on Merv Griffin’s talk show way back in 1983. Furthermore there are eight “iconic” videos to some of Houston’s biggest hits. I wonder what Houston product will come in the mail next week? For completest fans only. B mooseman19@telus.net

While stretching, massage, and hands-on treatment from your physiotherapist, chiropractor, massage therapist, craniosacral therapist or other practitioner may provide relief and help to restore range of motion and decrease your pain, strengthening of the muscles in the neck is often overlooked. If any of you have seen the movie Jerry Maguire, you will remember Ray, the little boy with a penchant for reciting random trivia including the fact that the human head weighs eight pounds. If that is the case, imagine carrying an eightpound bowling ball all day long, every day, in your arms. Now imagine doing the same thing, but now the bowling ball is meant to be balanced on the top of your body. Imagine how much strength and endurance those muscles would have to have in order to hold up the bowling ball when your head is not neat-

Not an easy task for your poor neck muscles! Most of us know that we need to strengthen our heart and lungs for good cardiovascular health and that we need to strengthen the muscles in our arms, chest, and back for daily activities that involve pushing, pulling and lifting. But most of us forget that our neck muscles need to be strong and ready to support us throughout the day. For most of us, the goal is actually to wake up the smaller, deeper neck muscles that are the “back up singers” to the bigger stronger “mover and shaker” muscles that most of us identify as

the ones that become tight and stiff over time, or after an injury. Finding these deeper stabilizing neck muscles requires focused concentration, and less than maximal effort of contraction to properly activate. Any more than this low-level contraction, and your larger mobilizing muscles such as your upper trapezius, levator scapulae (your “shrugging muscles”), scalenes, and sternocleidomastoid muscles (strappy muscles on the front of your neck) are eager to take over, causing them to be overworked and resulting in hyperactive, tight muscles. These bigger muscle groups are designed only to help with movements of the head, with or without resistance; the smaller deeper muscles are designed to sit close to the vertebrae in your spine and help to stabilize and maintain and support your alignment and posture in various positions. Both groups are meant to work together from the moment you rise in the morning to when you retire for the night. With the help of a qualified professional, many different neck strengthening exercises can be done that require little to no fancy equipment. However, there are also advanced neck strengthening machines such as the Hanoun Multi-Cervical Unit (MCU) that can provide your therapist with immediate objective measures such active range of motion (ROM) and amount of resistance used, allowing you to keep track of your progress. Strengthening your neck muscles is worth the investment in your time and effort. Many of us are motivated to engage in various forms of exercise or physical activity to help us feel stronger, look better, and function better in our daily lives or in a specific activity. So why not put the time in to help get rid of that nagging pain in your neck? Because really… who likes a nag? Yun Cheung is a registered physiotherapist and kinesiologist at Sun City Physiotherapy.

Indiana’s Amish country shows simpler side of Christmas Ellen Creager CONTRIBUTOR

On a cold December night outside the Shipshewana Furniture store, in Shipshewana, Indiana, is a towering imitation Christmas tree decorated with sparkling blue-green lights. Then comes a hurried clip-clop, and a shuddering rattle. A heavy black Amish buggy and its horse rumble past, cast in sharp silhouette against the shimmering Christmas tree. It is a scene that is in this world, but not of it. It is a scene you will see almost nowhere else. It is Amish Christmas. While Shipshewana

even religious services are not part of the Amish holiday. “We don’t do like that,” he says, his face clear and smooth, his small beard and plain, pressed clothes speaking of an orderly life. “But a lot of Christmas songs are sung.” For people weary of the clattering Christmas machine, blaring TV ads and their screaming “buybuy-buy” incantations, a December visit to Amish country in northern Indiana is a relief.

The buildings are white. The furniture is plain. No rowdy bars, because there is no alcohol. There’s not a single TV in the hotel lobby, or in restaurants or anywhere else blaring ESPN or Fox News. It’s all white fences and rural living. I look out my hotel window and see horses and black buggies. Along the road, winter has stripped the leaves off the trees, and the fields are bare with stubble. The houses have driveways, but no cars. And I feel embarrassed when my cell

phone rings. The Amish are part of a strict Anabaptist group that came from Switzerland to America in the early 1700s. In general, they shun motor vehicles, electricity from the grid, TV, phones and computers. They leave school after the eighth grade, dress in old-fashioned garb, marry young and have lots of children. Northern Indiana has 21,560 Amish, one of the biggest populations in the nation. Appreciating the duality of Amish Christmas

in Shipshewana is Levi King, a local businessman who owns JoJo’s Pretzels and some other shops. He grew up Amish in Lancaster, Pa., until age 7, when his parents left the faith. Nearly all his relatives are Amish. His wife grew up Amish, too. He estimates that four in 10 business owners in Shipshewana are formerly Amish and that 15 percent are currently Amish. He also has many Amish employees, and they all are relying on holiday tourists to buy lots of gifts in the

lushly holiday-decorated shops—even though the Amish themselves tend to give small practical things like flashlights or stools for Christmas. Unlike many other religious folk, the Amish do not want to change you, or convert you, or talk you out of buying an iPad or that garish big-screen TV for Christmas. They just hope you’ll stop by and pick up an Amish-made desk, quilt or a big wheel of cheese, and stay in a

TRAVEL Amish from A32 nice Amish hotel and dine at a local restaurant, and enjoy the sights so different from your own life. The best thing about Christmas time in Amish country? “When there is snow on the ground, you might still hear the clop-clop of the horse, but you won’t hear the buggy,” King says. “It’s silent.” The fascination with Amish people coincides with a swelling number of them—273,000 in the U.S., double that of 1991. It’s due to a high birth rate, not outsiders joining. Here are more facts: • Top Amish settlements in U.S. is Holmes County area, Ohio— 31,980; Lancaster County area, Pa. hosts 31,020; while LaGrange-Shipshewana-Elkhart area, Indiana has a population of 21,560 Amish • States with most Amish people: Ohio—63,990 Pennsylvania—63,785 Indiana—47,235 Wisconsin—16,255 New York—14,715 Michigan—12,935 • Top Amish tourist towns Intercourse, Pa. Sugarcreek, Ohio Shipshewana, Ind. Berlin, Ohio.

IF YOU GO:

Lodging: Many choices; try the Farmstead Inn at $79 and up in winter. It is big and clean with a modest free breakfast. (www.farmsteadinn.com, 260-768-4595) Dining: Nothing fancy, and the town is dry.

The Blue Gate restaurant has a placid ambiance and adequate Amish-Midwestern fare; JoJo’s Pretzels has big, buttery pretzels. The town has ample spots to pick up good cheeses and pies. Shopping: The giant flea market is closed in December, but Christmas shopping is absolutely charming in town. I liked Simple Sounds in the Davis Mercantile, but all the little shops are good for wandering. Look for locally made wind chimes, amazing quilts and fabric. I also like the historic Gohn Brothers dry-goods/Amish clothing shop in Middlebury. Culture: Meno-Hof, a local culture center, explains Amish life; you also can hire private guides or horse-and-buggy tours year-round. For details on these restaurants, stores and tours, contact www. amishcountry.org and www.visitshipshewana. org or call 800-254-8090. If you visit Shipshewana: • Do talk to locals. “Some (locals) are bashful, but most will talk to you,” says Levi King who owns JoJo’s Pretzels. • Do ride the Shipshewana Carousel. On the top floor of Davis Mercantile, the 1906 carousel features animals found in the Shipshewana area. $2. • Do stop at the Guggisberg Deutsch Kase Haus (Cheese House) in Middlebury, and watch the curds and whey turn into cheese.

makers employ two microphones (one front, one rear), but Buick has three (two front, one rear) that ‘hear’ unwanted noise and then use the Bose sound system speakers to send out countertones. Buick engineers went to great pains not to just deal with external noise but aerodynamics. For instance there are little vertical strakes at the trailing edge of each ‘C’ pillar that cut drag and improve fuel economy. Another notable feature is the standard voice-activated IntelliLink full-colour seven-inch display. Move up to the Leather Package and it adds dual zone climate control, heated leather front seats, heated steering wheel and remote vehicle start.

The Premium package builds on the Leather with lane departure warning, rain sensing wipers, premium Bose Audio, XM Satellite Radio, front and rear park assist, Forward Collision Alert, and 18inch chrome wheels. Encore’s pixie of a powerplant delivers a lot more power than you’d expect aided significantly by the gear ratio spread of the automatic that shifts transparently under normal driving conditions. Going uphill, the trans kicks down quickly when the gas pedal is prodded.

Carries a decent load Buick from B2 quell noise. Coupled with the Bose noise cancelling system, you don’t hear much coming in from the outside ≠ to a point. The Verano sedan that uses the same QuietTuning system was quieter, in my opinion, than the Encore. I think it is because the Encore interior volume is far greater and thus more like a drum on the

inside. Suspension is MacStruts and coil springs at the front and a compound crank-style torsion beam at the back with coils. Buick’s test route for the Encore was on the wonderfully kept roads to the south of Atlanta, GA, perfect for the kind of driving most of these CUVs will see. We were three aboard in the FWD and AWD models so the added

weight of three people plus the travel luggage of two. That would be pretty well at the upper end of the total mass. In all cases the 1.4-litre never felt strained. We did not do any two-lane highway passing because there were so few vehicles, so I can’t say how well the Encore responds to full passing power. I rode in the back of the FWD for part of the way and did not have a

That used to be the case back in the day

and a lesson Buick has learned and taken to heart. For instance there are three interior trim combinations, one being a two-tone coffee and cocoa brown you might expect to find on a competitor costing twice as much. And that is one of the reasons Buick is changing in front of our eyes. The name is the same, but Buick now gets it and that’s why they are seeing a sharp increase in buyers coming over from the imports. Along with LaCrosse, Regal, Enclave, Verano

Jack Frost can kiss my heated seat. Standard features that make winter more comfortable.

Is there a more distinctive car on the road than the Volkswagen Beetle? Even the redesigned 2012 Beetle is every bit as identifiable as the iconic Beetles of the ‘60s and ‘70s. This time around, though, designers set out to give the third-generation model a more masculine look in an attempt to overcome the ‘chick car’ reputation that the New Beetle had developed during its run from 1998 to 2010. It appears they succeeded, based on the number of positive comments I got from both men and women during a recent week with a very attractive 2012 Reef Blue Metallic Sportline Beetle. Though not the volume leader that the original ‘Bug’ was for Volkswagen, when it sold more than 21 million copies between 1938 and 2003, the Beetle continues to sell in solid numbers here in Canada with 1,230 units delivered through the first six months of the calendar year. As my Metroland colleague Jim Robinson noted during his First Drive story on the 2012 VW Beetle, ‘updated versions of iconic cars not only have to look similar to the original, but the spirit of the car has to be there, too. So, in bringing out the 2012 Beetle, two major issues had to be addressed ‘the look and the

image.’ This new Beetle looks more planted to the ground and is longer, wider and shorter than the previous model. Comfort and stowage issues have been addressed so that now the back seat is much more user-friendly with a decent amount of headroom. Ingress and egress is still a bit difficult, however, due to the coupe design. Meanwhile, the trunk now has cargo space of 426 litres, jumping to 850 litres with the 50/50 split/fold rear seats down. As far as image is concerned, the exterior design has a more masculine look and the little vase and plastic flower affixed to the dash in the previous generation is now part of Volkswagen history. My Sportline-trim tester came with 200 hp 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, linked to a six-speed dual clutch (DSG) automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. The Comfortline and Highline models get a 2.5-litre inline five-cylinder engine (170 hp, 177 lb/ft of torque). Standard on the Comfortline and Highline is a five-speed manual transmission with a six-speed automatic with Tiptronic and Sport Mode optional. Prices start at $21,975 for the Comfortline manual and $24,225 for the Highline manual ($25,625 for the Highline automatic). The Sportline is $29,025 for the manual

A total of 600 of these will be offered, priced at $24,475 and $26,575 respectively. The Premiere models come only with the automatic transmission. My tester also had the $1,290 Technology Package, which includes a 400watt Fender premium audio system and a touch nscreen navigation system. The $675 Connectivity sPackage features a media device interface with iPad and BlueTooth mobile -phone connectivity. All tin, the car priced out at $32,390 plus taxes. The Sportline, as the ename suggests, has a esporty look with 18-inch ealloy wheels covering bright red brake calipers. 0This model also boasts a sport suspension, eight-way driver and six-way passenger manual sport -seats, leather seats (heateed up front), dual exhaust, dleather-wrapped steering swheel, rear spoiler and alfloy sport pedals. With the same engine that powers the VW GTI, pthe Turbo Beetle is a hotdter performer than ever ,before thanks in part to the lrace-inspired DSG transcmission, which does its gjob well. e The 207 lb/ft of torque ereaches its peak at just 1,750 rpm, meaning the -Beetle jumps to life in a 7big hurry. As with most frontdrive, turbocharged vehiacles, a bit of turbo lag and -torque steer is evident, but the added performance of cthe turbocharger makes it all worthwhile for the 5driving enthusiast. e Using the paddle shift5ers also adds a touch of lsportiness one wouldn’t eexpect in a Beetle, alethough the body roll felt lon hard cornering lets you know you’re in a Beetle rather than a GTI. Nevertheless, this is a level of handling never before seen on a Beetle.

In the driver’s seat, you’re greeted with an easy-to-grip, sporty, leather-wrapped steering wheel with a flat bottom and well-bolstered seats that keep you firmly planted on tight corners. My Sportline tester had a car-

bon fibre look on the front of the dash, while other models get body-coloured faceplates, similar to current Fiat 500s. So while the new-generation Beetle stays true to its roots with much the same iconic design, it is a

includes steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. Increasingly, CVTs are proving more frugal than manuals or automatics which is why the shift to CVTs is becoming more prevalent. The proof is in fuel efficiency with the CVT rated at 7.8/5.5/6.7L/100 km city/highway/combined compared to 8.7/5.7/7.4L/100 km for the manual. This is all due to Earth Dreams, Honda’s comprehensive approach to making their cars and trucks better through a number of initiatives such as technology and weight reduction of its engines and transmissions. The engines now have reduced friction plus improved torque, while the available transmissions enhance acceleration and responsiveness through improvements such as wider ratios and sporty shift programming. Helping the driver better appreciate what is going on is ‘econ + eco assist’ modes and the ECON button. When the driver pushes the ECON button, it automatically adjusts the engine and other auxiliary systems from efficient to ultra- efficient. The best part of all this was being able to call up my fuel use per-

car built in North America. Honda has a huge presence on the continent now to the point it really is a domestic maker now. But in recent years the Accord has started to flag against increasingly stiff competition in the midsize market coming from all sides. So for 2013, Honda has upgraded just about everything on the car but has retained the core values of what I call ‘Hondaness’ meaning substantial build quality and engineering along with the best materials and technology that owners know will stand them in good stead when it is time to trade in or end a lease. Accord will be offered in sedan and coupe formats with a choice of engines, but for this story we will stick with the sedans, the Sport model in particular. It is based on the base LX but adds a number of extras starting with the engine. While the LX has the same 2.4-litre, direct injection, DOHC inline four-cylinder with 185 hp and 181 lb/ft of torque, the Sport improves that slightly to 189 hp and 182 lb/ft of torque due mainly to a larger exhaust, which lessens back pressure. A six-speed manual transmission is standard while a CVT (continuously variable transmission) is a $1,200 option and that

Plenty of passenger room Honda from B6 formance on the eightinch centre-dash monitor that recorded my L/100 km average. This not only served as a ‘coach’ but also a finger-wagger when I went above the 10L/100 km line. The bonus was the readout is so big, I never had to turn my eyes off the view of the road ahead to see the numbers at a glance. Like most of the modern CVTs I drive now, they function without the ‘rubber-banding’ effect we used to get when you tromped the pedal to pass, but the engine/CVT had to build up to speed. While classified as a mid-size sedan, it really is a large car especially in the back seat with Honda

claiming it has the largest rear passenger volume in the segment while the truck is increased to 447 litres, up 50 litres from the 2012 model even though the 2013 is 80 mm shorter. I mentioned an eightinch display and it packs a lot of information into it including allowing the driver to receive text messages and e-mails with the driver able to answer back with preset replies, something I personally would never do as I think there is a driver distraction limit regardless of the technology. What I did like, besides the fuel history is trip range and phone information including with bilingual Bluetooth. Styling looks a bit more edgy then previously, but it was done to re-

The 2013 Accord, no matter which of the nine four-cylinder or V6 models one chooses, is the distillation of almost four decades of providing the kind of sedan buyers want. Once again it looks like Honda has hit the right Accord with con-

sumers.

HARRIET EVA FISHER Harriet Eva Fisher (nee Hill) (Dec. 8, 1913 – Dec. 9, 2012) having recently celebrated her 99th Birthday, passed away peacefully at Noric House in Vernon. Mom was predeceased by husband, Harry, in 1991 whom she married as a war bride in England in 1944. They moved shortly thereafter to Moose Jaw, SK where she and Harry raised their children: Harold, Helen, Howard, and Gerry. In 1982 after their children had married and moved to other locations, they moved to Vernon, BC to be closer to their son Howard and his wife, Linda along with their two sons. Mom was an active member of the Presbyterian Church in both Moose Jaw and Vernon and enjoyed singing in the choirs. A wonderful homemaker and an exceptional cook, she crafted main courses and spectacular desserts enjoyed by family and friends on many occasions. She had a very positive outlook on life, with its trials and tribulations and approached all challenges with a quiet determined attitude. Mom had a bright and cheery manner with a wonderful sense of humor. She loved to travel and enjoyed her time with all of her family. Mom is survived by sister, Mildred and her husband Eddie of St. Catherine’s, ON, daughter Helen and husband Gary Huffman and their children, Rhonda and Greg and families of Calgary, AB, son Howard and wife, Linda of Vernon and sons, Todd and Ryan and families of Calgary, and daughter Gerry and husband, Ron McMullen and their children, Heather of Vernon, Chad and family of Edmonton and Bill and family of Smokey Lake, AB. Harriet is survived by fourteen great grandchildren. Our Mom was a wonderful mother who cherished her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, and was a caring friend to many. She will be fondly remembered. Rather than donations being made to a specific charity or organization, mourners are encouraged to donate to any of The Cancer Society, Autism, The Canadian Diabetes Association, the Vernon Presbyterian Church, Vernon Noric House or a charity of the donor’s choice. A Memorial Service will be held at Knox Presbyterian Church in Vernon on June 8, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. A reminder will be placed in the Vernon Morning Star one week prior. Arrangements were in the care of Vernon Funeral Home 250-542-0155.

It’s the Christmas holiday season, our most treasured time of the year. It’s a time of celebration, joy and sharing time with family and friends. Unfortunately, this important time can also be one marked by tragedy if precautions are not taken against accidental fire. According to the Canadian Safety Council, every year about 400 Canadians lose their lives in an accidental household fire. In fact, it’s during the holiday season that the number of deaths caused by accidental household fires is at its highest. Patrice De Luca, vicepresident of marketing and business development for Reliance Protectron Security Services, says the major culprit for this significant increase is the famed Christmas tree. “You need to take every possible precaution

to minimize the risks of fire, especially if you choose a natural tree,” he said. “Fire is one of the greatest threats to your family and home. “People do not realize the emotional toll a fire can take, even if there is no loss of life.” Here are safety tips to consider from Protectron’s free saving lives program: • If possible, consider an artificial tree. They are much safer and cleaner. • Leave the tree outside until you’re ready to decorate. • The tree stand should hold at least one gallon of water. It’s crucial to check the water level every day. • Detectors for smoke and carbon monoxide should be installed at strategic locations—your kitchen, stairwell, bedroom hallways and other high-traffic household

areas. Monitored smoke detectors can save lives by having operators standing by 24-7 and dispatching emergency services if required (for example if fire occurs while sleeping). • Keep the tree away from floor heaters, fireplaces, or other heat sources. • Use only CSA-listed lights, and no more than three strands linked together. • Use miniature lights which have cool-burning bulbs. • Turn off the Christmas lights when you sleep, or if you leave your home for very long. • Examine light strings each year, discard worn ones. • Fasten the bulbs securely and point the sockets down to avoid moisture build up. • Avoid overloading wall outlets and extension cords.

SETTING OFF smoke alarms because the Christmas tree is on fire is a possibility that steps can be taken to prevent from happening. • Have an operable fire extinguisher readily available. • Practice an escape plan at least once a year. Make sure the whole family is involved.

• Finally, make sure to dispose of your tree properly at the end of the season. For more information on fire safety see www. protectron.com.

High ratio mortgage option for cash tight buyers A high ratio mortgage is an option for home buyers who have less than a 20 per cent down payment on a house. A high ratio mortgage must be insured, called mortgage default insurance. It is sometimes confused with creditor mortgage life insurance. Mortgage life insurance provides insurance protection for the mortgage holder in the event of their death and protects the lender should the homeowner be unable to continue their payments. The insurance also provides the lender with the flexibility to offer high ratio qualifiers the same competitive rates available to home buyers with a larger down payment.

The mortgage insurance premiums range from 1.75 to 2.75 per cent of the mortgage amount based on down payment. These mortgage premiums are paid once and are added to the principal balance of the mortgage, amortized over the life of the mortgage. For example, for a $400,000 home with a five per cent down payment, the mortgage would be $380,000. The insurance premium at 2.75 per cent, $10,450, would be added to the mortgage raising it to $390,450. In the same instance, a 15 per cent down payment would reduce the insurance premium to$7,000. To refinance a mortgage at

any point provided the mortgage with the refinance is still high ratio, the insurance premium adjustment only relates to the amount the mortgage is being increased. For mortgage default insurance, there are currently three main mortgage insurance providers in Canada—Genworth Financial Canada, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. While all three basically have the same high ratio mortgae insurance guidelines, there are some differences. The choice as to which insurer carrier is used is up to the discretion of the lender. The high ratio mortgage initiative has helped thousands of

families stay in their home when faced with financial hardship that otherweise might have put their mortgages at risk. It is to the lender’s benefit to try and work with mortgage holders to find payment solutions when financial hardships occur, rather than to start a foreclosure proceeding.

ith the craziness of Christmas upon us, it’s easy to get wrapped up in gift buying, mistletoes and the constant hustle and bustle of the city during this time of year. But despite the madness of the Yuletide season, Kelowna’s real estate market has also continued to follow suit with the hectic season. It was recently reported by the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board that sales are slightly down for the month of November, REAL ESTATE but this decrease in sales RUNDOWN is predictable for this time of year. Still, last month there were 140 single family homes sold in the Central Okanagan. Compare that Ceinwen to the 136 sales in NoMorgan vember 2011. That’s a 2.94 per cent increase this year over last for November. For November, there were 1,381 dwellings listed on the MLS system, a decrease of nine per cent from the previous month. As inventory continues to decline coupled with low interest rates, the real estate economy will continue to remain in the buyer’s spectrum. Home sales are expected to finish the year up 13 per cent at 5,450 units— even after factoring in the impact of tighter credit conditions in the Central Okanagan. It has been forecast by British Columbia Real Estate Association that interest rates will be remain low heading into 2013, but we may see a gradual increase in mortgage rates later in the year. “Forecast sales in 2013 reflect an improvement from the levels this summer in the immediate wake of the mortgage rule changes,” said Gregory Klump, BCREA’s chief economist. With the Okanagan remaining one of B.C.’s most desired places to live, our region will continue to drive people to invest in vacation homes, settle down or simply enjoy the lifestyle. “It is one place where you golf in the morning and snowboard in the afternoon or night,” said Kelowna resident Kyle Swain. “The Okanagan is defiantly the place to live. Kelowna really is a community that cares and comes together in times of need.” Local resident Danielle Rideout can speak to that, having reached out to our community for help during her family’s time of distress and received an outpouring of local support. The New Year looks bright and prosperous for the Okanagan. Remember that slow and steady will always win the race. From my column to your home, Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night. Ceinwen Morgan has worked in the Kelowna real estate industry for the past five years.
