‘We All Need a Little Christmas’, and dancers provide KATYA SLEPIAN
on a Christmas show and for the seven girls in the group, this will be their very first one with the school. The girls come in for one hour a week and they have to learn grade work for their ballet exams, enter into competitions as well as learn the dance for the Christmas show. “They’ve had to think and learn quickly and they’ve done very well; I’m very pleased with them,” said Alison Cowan, the school’s artistic director. “They’re a really good class.” While the ballet dancers practice upstairs, another class is practicing for the Christmas show in a room below.

A Brighter Note
just spent seven relaxing days in the warm Hawaiian sunshine with three girlfriends. My week was full of book reading, sunbathing, ocean floating, island exploring and cocktail drinking. It also included tons of walking, a wee bit of shopping and a whole lot of people watching. While it’s entertaining almost anywhere, peoplewatching seems more exciting on the active streets of a bustling area where human beings command attention for the way they look or the things they do. And in a busy spot like Waikiki, with tourists from all over the world and several conventions in high gear, we had a lot to look at. We saw at least a dozen brides, tons of sailors in uniform, body building competitors, cross dressers, street performers, tourists wearing surgical masks and countless folks carrying around extendable handheld phone sticks to take better selfies. People-watching on the beach was even more interesting with the vast array of bodies, tattoos and bathing suits to discreetly observe behind our dark sunglasses. But was anyone ever watching us? Well, I know for sure that some of them were on our last full day when we ventured up island to Sandy Beach Park, a popular spot for experienced surfers who know how to handle the enormous waves and dangerous shore break. After several hours
of lying on the beach watching the talented locals surf and the frolicking tourists get tossed around by the sea, I went to the restroom. When I returned to the spot where one of my girlfriends and I had been basking in the sun she was still lying on her back sleeping. I was just about to settle down beside her when I saw the biggest wave I’d ever
seen in my life coming straight for us. “Holy crap!” I shrieked—although I’m almost certain the phrase I used consisted of a different second word than that. Jen immediately opened her eyes, saw the wave approaching and pounced upright. Panicked, we grabbed our iPhones, purses and towels. Continued / A16
ain, rain, and more rain, it makes me wonder why the valley doesn’t just fill up with rain and then we could sail our house down the waterlogged streets a la Monty Python. We did have a few days that were sunny enough to take out the Vespa and cruise around taking photographs. My travels took me down to Harbour Quay, to Canal Beach, Clutesi Haven Marina and up Beaver Creek Road to Josephine. While travelling on Beaver Creek Road at the spot where the trees overhang the road, I hit black ice. Black ice is bad enough with a fourwheel vehicle but with

PHOTO COURTESY NORMAN SILVERSTONE
Columnist Norman Silverstone escapes an encounter with black ice on Josephine Street with aplomb.
photographs were shot with the 10~20 mm lens set at 13mm, the ISO was 400, the aperture was f14, the speed was 1/200 of a second, and I shot in RAW format. RAW images are 12 bit with 4,096 shades of red, green, and blue. Raw images are the closest to film that one can get from a camera (digital positives). RAW images are non compressed (non-lossy) and not processed in the camera. My camera gives me a 21 MB file for a raw image (to compare, JPEG images are eight bit with 256 shades of red, green, and blue). JPEG images are processed in the camera and are a lossy format, in other words the image is compressed and some information is discarded (colour).

Discover Blue Fish Gallery
Blue Fish Gallery
“Have you been there yet?” That is the question being asked around town since Blue Fish Gallery opened its doors in July of 2013. The idea for the gallery began when someone asked owner Cheryl Iwanowsky what she would do if she won a million dollars. “I’ve always wanted to open up a nice little gallery that would be unpretentious, friendly & inviting, full of beautiful and unusual items. Art should be part of our everyday life, not just some unattainable masterpiece we view at the Louvre.” It was a great moment when she realized: “I don’t need a million dollars to do it!” So, out of a neglected little 1923 house near the Harbour Quay came a lovely seaport blue shop with white trim, complete with a chalkboard outside for the public to share ideas and drawings of their own. Blue Fish has quickly become a favourite destination for local and visiting shoppers looking for unique, hand made pottery, woodwork, jewelry, leather bags, clothing, and just beautiful gifts of all kinds. Please stop by to browse Monday to Saturday, 10:30am to 5:30 pm. Blue Fish Gallery is located at the corner of 2nd and Mar Streets in the Uptown area.

We started running away from the water. As the enormous wave caught our legs, my towel was snatched back by the ocean. When I went to dig it out of the wet sand my friend noticed that her right nipple had popped out of her bikini and there was a gaggle of gawkers who

clearly didn’t mind. Mortified, she yanked on her top to cover it back up, but pulled the fabric so hard that her left one also made an appearance. The sunbathing onlookers were all laughing, and so was I. The entire incident felt hysterical as it was happening, but since Jen’s such a
prude and never one to seek attention about her body, it became increasingly funnier to me as the day progressed. It almost felt like it was payback for all the free entertainment we’d received peoplewatching on our trip. Jen would have much preferred that I pay the price rather
than her, but I’m sure she’s grateful it all happened too fast for anyone to grab their phones and start taking video, because hilarity like that could have gone viral. Sorry, Jennifer. Anything for a laugh. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist.
