KELOWNA’S STACIE CARRIGAN

S

tacie Carrigan didn’t necessarily set out to become one of North America’s top trail runners.

But less than a year after competing in her first major trail event, few Canadian women have turned out to be more prolific in a pair of running shoes than the 31-year-old from Kelowna. In addition to winning a national 50 km title and faring well at the world 50 mile trail championships in Wales,

Carrigan recently conquered the Lesotho Ultra Trail 55 km Skymarathon in Africa.

In today’s Capital News, Warren Henderson looks at Carrigan’s rapid ascent as one of Canada’s fastest female trail runners and how her passion for running keeps her on track.

Kelowna athlete finds her niche in endurance running

Warren Henderson

STAFF REPORTER

H

igh on a mountain ridge and draped in cloud cover, Stacie Carrigan and her fellow competitors couldn’t see more than 25 or 30 metres in front of them.

So for much of the 11-kilometre stretch at more than 10,000 feet, the 31-year-old Kelowna woman and four other runners formed a partnership, both for their safety and to stay on course.

The temporary merger between athletes proved successful, as Carrigan went on to complete Lesotho Ultra Trail, a 55-kilometre endurance run through the backcountry of the small and picturesque African nation.

Carrigan finished third among all women racers in seven hours 23 minutes.

Of her six trail runs in 2013, Lesotho stood out as the most eventful and awe-inspiring of all.

‘‘

SHE CERTAINLY HAD TALENT TO BEGIN WITH BUT LIKE ANY ELITE ATHLETE SHE’S PUT IN THE TIME AND WORK TO TAKE THINGS TO THE NEXT LEVEL…SHE’S VERY FOCUSED AND ORGANIZED AND THE IMPROVEMENT CURVE HAS BEEN PRETTY AMAZING. Ryne Melcher, endurance running coach

“That was the first time I ever came across a situation where people in a solo sport had to work together,” said Carrigan.

“When we ran into the cloud, you couldn’t really see the markers and you could understand how easy it would be to get disoriented. So we formed a line and got back on track. Because you are up so high, it’s pretty unnerving.

“But the overall experience of running in those mountains was amazing,” she added.

“It’s like nothing I’ve ever done before.”

The fact that she would be running along a

mountain ridge in a small country inside South Africa last November would have been pretty much an unthinkable scenario to Carrigan only a couple of years earlier.

Raised in Osoyoos, Carrigan never really took up running seriously until 2011.

That October she finished third among women racers at the BMO Okanagan Marathon in three hours 20 minutes. A year later, she lopped seven minutes off her previous time to finish second at the 42.2 km Okanagan race.

While Carrigan insists she wasn’t a strong athlete

growing up, she clearly possessed an aptitude for running.

“I just really like the feeling of getting out there, getting away from the real world and just being in your own headspace,” she said.

“I didn’t grow up being overly competitive, but I have to admit when I started doing well at races, that kind of helped drive me.

“I enjoy being outside, the training that’s involved, and I like the sense of challenge and accomplishment it all brings me.”

By 2013, at the urging of fellow Kelowna ultra runner Mel Bos, Carrigan decided to put her passion and natural abilities to the test with trail running.

And following her first race last March, the Chuckanut 50k in Washington, Carrigan had officially caught the ultra trail bug.

She went on to place 13th at the world 50-mile trail championships in Wales in July, captured the Canadian 50K trail championship in Ontario in October, and set a new national record at the 50mile distance.

And on a list that includes British/Canadian ultra running legend Ellie Greenwood, Carrigan posted one of the fastest 50 km times in Canada last year.

Endurance running coach Ryne Melcher, who has been working with Carrigan for the last year, said the Kelowna athlete’s rise to prominence on the trail running circuit is nothing short of impressive.

“She certainly had talent to begin with but like any elite athlete she’s put

STACIE Carrigan checks out some of the 55 km course prior to the start of the Lesotho Ultra Trail run. in the time and work to take things to the next level,” said Melcher, a former competitive endurance runner.

“For someone who is quite new to the sport, she’s done remarkably well. She’s very focused and organized and the improvement curve has been pretty amazing.

“She aimed to get to a world championship and did well, she won the national 50 k, she won a 50 miler and set a national record,” he added. “She’s knocked them all right out of the park.”

Melcher was also impressed with Carrigan’s latest performance at the Lesotho Ultra Trail in

November, a race that features a vertical ascent of more than 10,000 feet (3,173 metres).

Included on this diverse trek was open grass running, rocky trails, dirt roads, jeep tracks, stream crossings, loose rock, and both steep ascents and descents.

To take on the physical demands of running at a high altitude, Carrigan did some pre-race preparation in a hypoxic chamber located at UBC Okanagan before leaving Kelowna.

With the help of Dr. Phil Ainslie, a professor of health and exercise sciences at UBC Okanagan and co-director of the

Centre of Heart Lung and Vascular Health, Carrigan spent several sessions in the chamber to help her body adapt to the lower oxygen levels she would encounter in Lesotho.

“Many athletes use this method to help them train and prepare for competition at high altitudes,” said Dr. Ainslie, who has done extensive research on the subject in Pakistan and Nepal.

“You pump in reduced levels of oxygen to help the athlete acclimatize. “(Stacie) spent three to four hours in the chamber for about seven to 10 days before she left.

across the Pacific and crossing into the interior will cause mercury to rise into near record breaking territory.

Over the weekend, temperatures could get to around 6 C, but the warmest weather will come Monday when thermometers top out at a predicted 8 C. Although the temperatures will be on the warm side, Lundquist said conditions won’t be a total departure from the norm.

Cloud will persist and rain showers will keep things soggy.

And, while the valley bottom will experience a bit of heat a wave, the mountains above the valley are a different story.

Thursday night, Coquihalla travellers likely had a rude awakening as Environment Canada predicted a snowfall of 20 to 30 centimetres overnight.

Lundquist pointed out that just because the conditions look good in the valley bottom, doesn’t mean they’ll be the same in the mountain passes.

“It enabled her to be better prepared for the challenges of competing at a high altitude.”

During the first couple of sessions, Carrigan said she felt somewhat lightheaded and experienced rather intense headaches.

But after a few days in the hypoxic chamber, her body began to make the necessary adjustments.

“For the last few sessions, I felt pretty much normal,” she said.

“I believe I could have become quite ill without if I didn’t prepare my body for it.

“When we got there, about three days before the race, I spent some time at 6,000 feet and felt pretty good.

“During the race I didn’t really have any problems with breathing, so I think it was quite useful. I was thankful to have

had the chance to do it.”

As much as running is the focus of each event Carrigan attends, the experience of seeing other parts of the world is an added benefit.

Such was the case when she and Ryan Melcher made a stop in rural Lesotho.

“I was really fortunate to be able to go out into the villages and meet some of the children, they were really wonderful,” she said.

“I love the travelling aspect, to see other countries and cultures. That’s the definite bonus to what I’ve been doing.”

While trail running was Carrigan’s focus in 2013, the Kelowna athlete will be putting her shoes back on to the road in 2014.

She will be competing in her first Boston Marathon in April. And, if all goes as planned, Carrigan will enter her first ever 100 km World Championships for road running in Latvia this August.

Based on ability, drive and record of success in a short time, Ryan Melcher says the sky is really the limit when it comes to Carrigan’s potential.

And while she hopes to continue to develop her craft and win more races in the years to come, Carrigan simply plans to take running and life one step at a time.

“To hear that people peak after five or six years of endurance running gives me hope that I will still be able to do this and be strong for a long time to come,” she said.

“What I did this year makes me wonder how much further and faster I can go.

“But I still like to take it one race at a time and just enjoy it. It’s what I love to do.” whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

▼ CHINESE IMMIGRANTS

Public forum to address apology for wrongful treatment Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Ben Lee ed a process of consultation to discuss the wording, delivery and what it calls the “legacy efforts” for a formal apology to the Chinese community.

In B.C., more than 100 pieces of discriminatory legislation and regulations against the Chinese community in the 1800s and 1900s were introduced.

They included restricting employment, voting and holding public office, imposing taxes and fees based on place of origin or ethnicity, restrictive and punitive licensing and regulatory requirements and restrictions on the ownership of property.

“While the govern-

With the province gets set to bring one of its forums aimed at gathering public input for a formal apology to B.C’s Chinese community for historical wrongs to Kelowna next week, a well-known member of the local Chinese-Canadian community says he hopes it will go farther than the apology offered by the federal government eight years ago.

Ben Lee, a long-time Kelowna city councillor and the first male teacher of Chinese decent in the province when he came here to teach in the 1950s, said the success of the provincial apology will be based on what type of recognition it pays to past wrongs.

“The federal government did this a few years ago but it only recognized part of the situation,” said Lee, now 84.

In Ottawa’s case, the apology was for the Head Tax it charged Chinese immigrants from 1885 to 1923. That tax started out at $50 per person in 1885, was raised to $100 per person in 1900 and to $500 per person in 1903, all huge amounts for lowly paid labours trying to bring their families to Canada.

The Head Tax was ended in 1923 when the federal government effectively banned most Chinese immigrants from entering Canada. That ban lasted until 1947 when Chinese Canadians received full citizenship rights.

Despite the fact thousands of Chinese labours first came to Canada in the mid-19th century to help build the Canadian Pacific Railroad that linked this country, once the railroad was complete the government set in place measures to stop the flow of more immigrants from China.

“For over six decades, these malicious measures, aimed solely at the Chinese, were implemented with deliberation by the Canadian state,” said Prime Minister Stephen Harper in the 2006 federal apology. “This was a grave injustice, and one we are morally obligated to acknowledge.”

Lee said his father paid the $500 Head Tax to bring his mother over from China.

In B.C., the provincial government recently start-

ment will engage with B.C.’s Chinese community associations and individuals who were directly and indirectly impacted by prejudicial legislation, I want to make it clear everyone is welcome to attend these sessions,” said Teresa Wat, Minister of International Trade and Minister Responsible for the Asia Pacific Strategy and Multiculturalism.

“All British Columbians need to be a part of this important process if it is to have the currency it needs to be truly meaningful.”

“We can’t undo the past but we can move forward and leave a legacy for future generations by educating them about the past.”

Lee, who found Kelowna to be more multicultural than larger centres in B.C. when he came here in the 1950s, said if the school board of the day had concerns about hiring an “Oriental” teacher, they did not affect the final decision.

Anything left of farright seems to annoy columnist To the editor: After reading Tom Fletcher’s latest word of wisdom; this time on the seemingly empty-headed squealing expected from environmentalists (Another Year of Enviro-wars Begins, Jan. 7 Capital News), some sort of reaction seemed appropriate.

His persistent rants against anything left of farright would, by now, be hilarious, if they weren’t all such obvious examples of an attitude intent upon building a society obedient to a wealth-creating corporate system, unhindered by regulations, social programs, “overpaid” workers,’ and especially “do gooders” who might upset the whole apple cart by actually putting some thought into the provision of a good, reasonably prosperous, healthy life for each and every citizen, with pleasant living conditions, education, and sufficient nourishment and recreation in a healthy environment.

Never one to enjoy a sweaty hand-

“Hand-washing has become a major initiative throughout healthcare systems to reduce transmission rates, but as many as 80 per cent of individuals retain some disease-causing bacteria after washing,” the report synopsis reads.

“We have determined that implementing the fist bump in the healthcare setting may further reduce bacterial transmission between healthcare providers by reducing contact time and total surface area exposed when compared with the standard handshake.”

▼ DEC. 6 VIGIL

Lest we forget women lost then and now To the editor: It was on Dec. 6, 1989, that 14 women were murdered in the Montreal Massacre at L’Ecole Polytechnique.

Canada has declared Dec. 6 the national Day of Action and Remembrance on Violence against Women and on one of the coldest days in our own community, many individuals attended a commemorative service on Angel Way, adjacent to Parkinson Recreation Centre. Roses were laid in honour of those 14 women, as well as more than 60 roses laid and names read in memory of women in the Okanagan Valley who have died from violence.

Unfortunately, each

year names are being added and some cases of the murdered women still remain unsolved.

Violence against women is still a reality and, despite ongoing education and open discussion, the stats continue to be staggering.

Every week in Canada at least one woman is murdered by a boyfriend or spouse—more than half have reported domestic violence to the police.

One in five young women is in an abusive relationship.

Thirteen women and girls are sexually assaulted every day in B.C., with one in four women being sexually assaulted in their lifetime.

Events such as the vigil held at Angel Way

provide important opportunities not only to remember those who have been murdered by men, but also to remind us to continue to take action against this violence.

A special thank-you to the Okanagan College Women’s Studies and Women’s Trades students who expanded on the history of the murdered Okanagan women and built the wooden frames for their pictures.

The Moose Hide Patch campaign was introduced this year to encourage men to stand up against violence towards aboriginal women and children.

Events like this do not occur without the participation of many

in the community. We would like to thank Kelowna Community Resources for the meeting space, Peter from Extra Foods for the roses, Council of Canadians and Points West Audio Visual for the sound systems, Mcdonald’s for the welcome hot coffee, Food not Bombs, Stroma Signs, CFUW-Kelowna, Elizabeth-Fry Society, Karen from the Women’s Shelter, Joyce from the Kelowna Family Centre, Avril from United Way, Reseau-Femmes, Kelown city staff, the Okanagan College student union and volunteers from OC, and the Raging Grannies who braved the cold and ended the event with song.

RCMP Supt. Nick Ro-

manchuk sent his support and Cpl. Sandi Fazan came as the representative. Coun. Mohini Singh helped read the names on the long list of the murdered women.

A special thank you is also extended to the reporters who arrived to report on the event.

What was most interesting is that on this coldest evening in Kelowna the weather in Montreal on Dec. 6, 1989 was very similar to what we experienced.

mit for a “special order” vehicle.

Cries that “I can’t drive a stick shift” will fall on deaf ears. In the UK, everyone drives a standard shift vehicle. It is hardly rocket science.

As the years pass, all the automatic shift vehicles will go by the wayside. The roads will then be a much safer place for all.

On a recent holiday

to the United Kingdom, I drove over 2,500 miles.

During that time, I observed only one person driving whilst eating a sandwich and only one using a mobile phone whilst behind the wheel.

Nearly all cars in the U.K. are standard shift.

There seems to be a correlation.

As an aside, on the limited access highways (motorways) in Eng-

land, there are ample travel plazas, offering restaurants and gasoline.

Drivers consume their beverages and/or food at the plaza—either in the restaurant or in their parked vehicles. I think a combination of education, safety awareness and standard-shift automobiles makes this the standard of behaviour.

Few benefit from wealth creation Fletcher upholds grams, wage hikes in general, socialized, single payer healthcare, most things about teachers, environmental caution, or any of a host of genuine concerns which might affect the welfare of his

fellow man, and with which good, honest men come to grips daily, are nothing more than annoying inconveniences getting in the way of what he would call “progress” and “wealth creation.”

Wealth creation for whom, I wonder? Does

he think that the objects of his attacks are somehow selfishly benefiting personally from the work they do or that his own hard-bitten ideas will produce benefits that will flow freely to all mankind? If so, he should take another good look

OMREB finding signs of optimism for sales growth More money changed hands and more homes were sold throughout the Central Okanagan in 2013, compared to the year before.

Overall sales at year‐end improved by 13.6 per cent in 2013.

That breaks down to a total of 4,429 units valued at $1.7 billion selling in 2013, compared to 3,900 units for a total value of $1.5 billion in 2012.

“We are pleased to have surpassed forecasted expectations for sales growth in year-over-year residential sales for our board area, and experienced moderate to strong gains for various property types in each zone—despite 2013 being the second consecutive year of relatively slow economic growth and moderate consumer confidence in the province,” said Karen Singbeil, OMREB president and a Shuswap area realtor.

“Competitive home sellers appear to

be more market conscious and are sharpening their pencils when setting their list price, which has led to more transaction volumes.”

Despite improved sales, OMREB representatives pointed out buyers may be further stymied in the future.

Though short-term interest rates are expected to remain low and accommodating to consumer demand, buyers could face less flexible lenders and the risk of rising long-term fixed mortgage rates going forward, especially as the U.S. economy strengthens.

The total level of employment has remained unchanged and will likely limit consumer demand to its current pace, perhaps with some moderation over the next quarter. However, stronger demand in the second half of 2014 should create more balanced market conditions in the Okanagan-Shuswap.

Secular sobriety group celebrates Achieving sobriety is the goal for anyone suffering from alcohol addiction.

Peer support groups (such as Alcoholics Anonymous, the classic “12step” program) are valuable, but they rely for the most part on participants’ acceptance of “a higher power.”

Sadly, for those who are not religious, until recently there hasn’t been anywhere to go in Kelowna.

However, the Kelowna Secular Sobriety Group began one year ago, under the guidance of facilitator Van Hill.

The group operates under the principles of SMART (Self-Management and Recovery Training).

This approach is highly successful, does not re-

quire adherence to religious belief, and stresses self-empowerment and self-reliance.

The group meets at the Esteem Office (204-1456 St Paul St. in Kelowna)

every Tuesday, 7p.m.

For more information about the Kelowna Secular Sobriety Group, contact Van Hill at soberkelowna@gmail.com or call 250-859-4300.

wheels, but also enhances performance and, ultimately, the lifetime of the component.

“We are currently looking at a wide range of materials—metals, composites, paper-based products—and trying to decipher images that are enormously complex,” Phillion said. “The end goal is to make products that are lighter and have fewer defects and to also find new uses for traditional materials.”

In the future, one could imagine a world where metal castings are designed so that areas prone to deficiencies are thicker, while areas that are defect-free are thinner, to reduce weight, says Phillion.

“We may be able to use recycled aluminum alloys in aerospace applications to reduce costs, or maybe design a hydrogen fuel cell that operates more efficiently,” he said.

Phillion is currently working with CanFor Forest Products to study paper fibres. He foresees that one day paper-based products may be made from controlled processes that limit the amount of expensive softwood required.

For those in the manufacturing industry, this opens the window to determine how defects can form and how they can lead to failure.

Phillion uses the basic aluminum alloy automobile wheel as an example.

“We know that stress causes fatigue and we know how metals respond to stress,” Phillion said.

“What we’re asking is, ‘Can we predict a potential flaw in the wheel and then eliminate potential danger?’”

Phillion says UBCO’s machine is different from the CT scanners found in most hospitals, since the magnification is much greater.

He is not aware of anyone in Canada using this technique to study manufacturing. In UBCO’s lab, investigators can take a sample about the size of a pinkie finger and magnify it more than 1,000 times its original size to reveal the internal structure of the material. Defects then become visible.

The research not only improves manufacturing processes, like the casting of aluminum alloys for

3-D X-ray technology could pave the way for a new generation of defect-free, lightweight cars and planes.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, the goal of one UBC researcher is to make wheels and other manufactured materials, lighter, stronger and safer.

Once the domain of science fiction, the recently installed 3-D X-ray computed tomography (CT) microscope at the UBC Okanagan campus is allowing experts to peer inside the internal structure of materials and explore a 3-D image, magnified 1,000 times.

It’s the first step towards lighter and stronger resources that can be used in most industries including aerospace, energy and manufacturing, says UBCO School of Engineering assistant professor André Phillion.

The leading-edge technology— this is B.C.’s first high-resolution CT scanner and one of only five in Canada—provides highly-magnified, internal pictures that can be examined in great detail.

Unique newspaper era is disappearing E arlier this week I was unpleasantly startled to discover a piece of my past has beaten me to the grave.

The Kamloops News newspaper is closing its doors.

In a twisted quirk of fate, I learned of the old rag’s demise via an online news network (Castanet) striking me as both ironic and yet emblematic of the changing times and patterns in media and news distribution.

The final nail in the Kamloops News’ cof-

Charlie Hodge fin is apparently the same pointy punctuation that’s closed doors on multiple newspapers—economics.

It’s simply getting tougher for newspapers to survive in an age when advertising and news are becoming more difficult

to separate and dependent on instant visual stimuli rather than the good ‘ole paper and ink.

The loss of the Kamloops News strikes me deeper than the loss of other newspapers, not only because I toiled there briefly but also because it was a bastion of solid, credible journalism.

It truly was a respected ‘community’ newspaper—a term too often used today yet rarely justified.

My tenure with the Kamloops News occurred

See dealer for complete details.

near the start of the 1980s decade and lasted just one year when I decided to move to a ‘smaller’ town and paper just down the road in Salmon Arm. I loved the newspaper and the co-workers in Kamloops but hated the town. (In fairness, I actually just hated the stench of the old mill there.).

Ironically, it was my column writing that garnered the interest of Kamloops editor Mel Rothenburger. ‘Rotten’ appeared in my life a few months prior to my joining his paper.

He arrived at the Capital News office in the summer of 1979 and proved his suspected insanity by giving up his own summer holiday to run the Kelowna paper for a month.

Then Capital News editor Pat Denton had decided on a holiday and Rothenburger figured running a smaller twice a week rag was easier than running his thrice a week operation. He had not counted on the Hodge factor.

Suffice to say Rothenburger was an interesting and talented fellow whose warped sense of humour and love for journalism was rarely surpassed by others in the industry.

Years later, Rothenburger would prove his idiosyncrasies were not restricted to media when he became mayor of Kamloops and kept that town struggling through tough times.

But I digress.

Rothenburger played editor for about two weeks in Kelowna durng which he decided to send me to cover a murder trial.

Unbeknownst to me, Mel wanted to test my savvy in a courtroom as he had future plans for moi. I passed the unknown test because before he left he offered me a job.

“I want you first and foremost to write columns and feature stories, but I also need someone to help cover crime and court and layout several pages a week. The pay is lousy, the hours long, and the appreciation factor next to zero. However we have some great folks to work with and drink lots of beer. Are you interested?” I recall him asking.

Naturally, I jumped at the offer. In those youthful days, the chance of writing two or three columns a week and drinking lots of beer was enticing to say the least.

I had no idea just how

much fun the newsroom would turn out to be.

The first night my wife and I spent in Kamloops a fellow was shot in the neighbourhood near my house. When I reported in the next morning for my first day’s work with pictures of ambulance members and police carting away the victim, the mini-myth of Hodge was born.

Over the better part of the next year I spent insanely long hours hanging out with a dozen other ink-stained wretches in the newsroom pounding out a multiple award-winning newspaper. I can honestly say in my 40 years of newspaper involvement, I have never known or worked with a more talented team of journalists.

The proof, I suppose, is in the results. Ben Kuzma was the sports editor and today helps run the sports department at the Vancouver Province and writes regularly for the Hockey News. Mike Reimer, his assistant in sports, went on to work for the Calgary Herald.

City editor John Carter became one of my dearest life-time friends.

It was the beginning of many years work together as JC was later the opposition editor of a community newspaper in Parksville and then later I worked for him as the assistant editor of his paper for a number more years.

Ironically, the newspaper we worked for together was shut down after being bought out by the chain-owned opposition paper in town. Carter relocated to Renfrew, Ont. He went into politics and wrote two books. JC and I are still close friends and chat regularly. I even let him beat me occasionally in hockey pools.

Jack Knox, a talented reporter in Kamloops, went on to work at various papers including the Victoria Times Colonist.

When I left Kamloops for Salmon Arm, I did so with mixed emotions, fondly remembering Mel and the great folks in the newsroom—and proud of the superb newspaper we produced.

The news of its demise saddens me, but more important, it is a blow to that community, which is now in jeopardy of not having that reliable, local and logical coverage of news.

I’m thankful I had a chance to be a part of it all.

Green Bay has been the ideal training ground for West Kelowna firefighters this week.

Since Monday, firefighters have been in the area, practising various ice rescue scenarios.

“We have to train every year to recertify,” said Capt. Pat Harmata, with West Kelowna Fire Rescue.

“We’re preparing so, if we do have somebody go through the ice, we can send out a crew to rescue them.”

Harmata said Green Bay offers a great training area, with open water, as well as various ice thicknesses.

“At Shannon Lake right now the ice is too thick…we could probably do shore stuff, but there’s no open water. “(Green Bay) has open water, ice that we can work on and also ice that’s thin enough that we can break through.”

Each full-time firefighter has done eight hours of ice rescue recertification training this week. Earlier in the season, before the ice began to develop, crews practiced using ice rescue equipment and putting on the gear.

Many paid-on-call firefighters will also receive some training so they have the skills to offer shoreline assistance in

an emergency situation.

Harmata said, typically, West Kelowna Fire Rescue responds to about one incident per year.

Last November, a 74-year-old man fell out of his canoe into the frigid waters of a pond in Glenrosa.

Two young men jumped into the water and were able to save the man from drowning.

Although it ended up being a good news story, Harmata said trying to save someone yourself isn’t always the best decision.

“We don’t recommend that anybody goes out—if the ice isn’t strong enough to hold the person that’s in the water, chances are it’s not strong enough to hold the second person who is going out to try to rescue them.

“Generally, in a scenario like that, it ends up becoming a double rescue instead.”

Harmata said those who witness somebody falling through the ice should phone 911 immediately.

According to the Canadian Red Cross, many factors affect ice thickness, including: Type of water, location and time of year.

Ice thickness should be at least 15 cm for walking or skating alone and 25 cm for snowmobiles. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Romeo + Juliet sold out in Kelowna The Royal Winnipeg Ballet production Romeo + Juliet, co-presented by Ballet Kelowna, set for Jan. 28 at Kelowna Community Theatre is officially sold out.

The grand romantic work sets Shakespeare’s tale to a Sergei Prokofiev score and highlights the classical dance technique of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Company.

“Rudi van Dantzig was an artist of the rarest calibre; a writer, dancer and choreographer, whose aesthetic instincts were matched only by his strong opinions and political voice,”said RWB artistic director André Lewis.

“Though no longer with us, he left behind a great legacy of works including this stunning Romeo + Juliet.

Created for the Dutch National Ballet (where van Dantzig was artistic director), his vision of the Bard’s story is poetic, exciting and deeply romantic.”

Looks Toyota has always been a logical purchase, based on reliability and durability but now its designs too are capturing buyers with a visual, desirable esthetic. The 2014 edition is 7.5cm longer (mostly in the rear seat and cargo area), 1.5cm wider and 3cm lower. The stance is wide and lower, making more of a visual impact. Combine this with a large grille borrowed from the Tundra pickup truck and the Highlander has a very rugged, yet polished, look that

The cup holder is large and the centre armrest has a massive storage area inside; this is thanks to the removal of the stowaway seat that used to hide under the centre armrest. Now in the second row of seats there are three permanent seats or two captain’s chairs in the top Limited model. The previous hideaway idea was simple but not so comfortable.

The biggest change takes place in the third row of seats, where three people can sit rather than just two. In addition,

there is 100L of cargo space behind the third row of seats offering much better functionality.

It has all the interior amenities that one expects in a modern three-row crossover, even a system that allows the driver’s voice to be amplified through the stereo for easier conversations with passengers in the very back, but there seems to be a lack of sophistication compared to its competition.

Drive The previous Highlander was available with a 4-cylinder engine and front wheel drive (FWD). It’s with a standard 3.5L V6 with 270hp, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, also with FWD. The starting price stays at $31,680; factoring in the backup camera there is good value here.

When it arrives later this month, the base LE with all wheel drive (AWD) starts at $34,180. I think most people will opt for the LE with convenience package that includes 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, satellite radio and leather steering wheel to name a few. This brings the price up to $34,480 for the FWD and $36,980 for the AWD. On the road, the AWD system sends power to just the front wheels as often as possible with only 10 per cent of the torque shifting when cornering.

The system has the ability to shift or lock up to 50 per cent of the power for better traction but limiting it to times

when it is truly needed helps improve fuel economy.

The other part of the fuel economy story is the all-new 6-speed automatic. The official fuel rating for the most popular AWD model is 11.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, which is almost a full litre improvement in combined highway/city economy over the 2013 model. The rear suspension has been modified for a slightly more dynamic drive and improved ride. The steering is rather light and vague but the buyers of this type of product will appreciate the ease of use.

OF THE WEEK:

Verdict The Highlander is a functional vehicle for young buyers with kids and friends that need to get to practice and carry all the sports equipment that goes with it. Overall, a very good family crossover that will get the job done every day.

With challenging road conditions across the province, January is always one of the highest months for crashes in B.C. Take some small steps to prepare your vehicle for the conditions, such as checking your tire pressure – tires deflate more quickly in cold weather – and top up your vehicle’s anti-freeze, windshield washer fluid, and gas.

Highs and lows: of the German Autobahn

Audi A 6 on the Autobahn.

KEITH MORGAN

during the eight regional public forums being held this month.

Hate to be a party pooper but today’s autobahns really don’t live up to their past reputation. They are excellent to drive but if you expect to cruise along at 250 km/h for the duration of a multi-hour journey you will be disappointed.

In recent years, I’ve driven thousands of kilometres along high-speed freeways throughout Europe while attending launches for a variety of high-powered cars.

One of the most memora-

Much motoring mythology surrounds Germany’s speed limitless autobahns.

Many readers who favour an increase in posted limits on our freeways point to the superbly engineered German highways as the example to follow. The latest round of praise follows the recent Insights West poll conducted for Black Press that found 37 per cent back increased limits on routes such as the Coquihalla Highway. And doubtless BC Transportation Minister Todd Stone will hear the same in his review of highway speed limits

I wound up the A6 to 200 km/h for less than a minute and shortly after I managed to hit 220 km/h but that lasted all of 20 seconds.

Keith Morgan

’’

ble trips I drove was the 585 kilometres between Munich and Berlin, which I covered in an Audi A6, with a 2.8-litre V6 generating 207 horsepower under the hood.

Just like Vancouver, Munich is a thriving city and there’s congestion with a capital C even on the A9 autobahn.

The queues continue even 30 kms outside of the city but it must be said that they move at a uniform speed of 100 km/h.

To say there are no speed limits is inaccurate: I encountered city areas where the maximum was 120 km/h overnight between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. There are also restrictions in motorcycles, large trucks and cars towing trailers.

What I find most interesting was the unwritten rule, which, while it can’t be enforced, if you disobey it and are involved in a collision it may cost you.

Say what?

The advisory speed limit under this “rule” is 130 km/h, referred to in German as the Richtgeschwindigkeit. Smash up at a higher speed and you could be found partially responsible due to “increased operating danger”.

Within an hour, I was comfortable with the car and itching to let it go. It seemed to be tugging to the right at one point but that was near the car’s birthplace at Ingolstadt.

On the other hand, it could have been a crosswind.

You can only pass another car in the left lane. The right lane is for slower vehicles so you risk a ticket if you pass on the right at any speed. That threat didn’t seem to worry too many in the approaches to the various urban areas along the way.

As the traffic thinned, I wound up the A6 to 200 km/h for less than a minute and shortly after I managed to hit 220 km/h but that lasted all of 20 seconds. I managed to do 180 km/h for about three minutes before slowing to 140 for a sustained period of around 20 minutes. Europe is full and nowhere is that more evident than on the roads. I found 120 km/h was more easily achieved for most of the journey and seemed to be more typical a speed for most.

From Munich city limits to Berlin it took me around 5 hours 30 minutes, which means I averaged about 105 km/h. Pretty good but not the 200 km/h many think you can do.

There’s the reality check: Generally, I agree that some of our freeways could stand a slight increase in the posted limit, especially in the rural areas where drivers would likely be able to maintain the top speed more easily than on the theoretically speed limitless autobahn.

Next week: The so-called Texas Autobahn. keith.morgan@drivewaybc. ca

Drives-U-Crazy Signal It was a Christmas Miracle: That’s all I can put it down to.

Pulled up behind a new sport-ute at a busy intersection, just a second before the light changed green. And predictably that’s when the driver put on his left turn signal.

Then to my absolute amazement, he did exactly what he was supposed to do after failing to signal at the appropriate time. He drove across the intersection and took the next left!

There was a police car behind me so perhaps the errant driver feared a $121 ticket and two penalty points on his license. Not likely.

Newest Rocket brings size, skill

Chiefs’ top scorer jumps to BCHL

▼ WHL

STAFF REPORTER

Over parts of three seasons with the Vancouver Giants, Marek Tvrdon inflicted his share of damage on the Kelowna Rockets.

Now the 20-year-old Slovakian-born forward has been called upon to help the Rockets build towards a long and prosperous Western Hockey League playoff run.

The Canadian Hockey League’s top-ranked team acquired the 6-foot-2, 217-pound forward from the Giants in a three-way deal this week, which saw Zach Franko, 20, dealt to the Kootenay Ice. Tvrdon will join the Rockets this weekend in Alberta and is expected to make his Kelowna debut on Saturday against the Medicine Hat Tigers.

Tvrdon, who played parts of three seasons with the Giants, spent the early part of this season in the pro ranks with the East Coast Hockey League’s Toledo Walleye.

With both skill and size to offer, head coach Ryan Huska said Tvrdon should be a welcome VANCOUVER GIANTS/CONTRIBUTOR addition to the Kelowna lineup.

“It’s tough but everything happens for a reason. I wish them the best and I think they will keep winning.”

Meanwhile, the Rockets (33-5-0-2) are coming off just their fifth regulation loss of the season, a 4-2 setback to the Edmonton Oil Kings on Wednesday night.

“It was a good game between two good teams,” said Huska. “Where we got into trouble was on face offs, and we took too many penalties. Their goaltender (Tristan Jarry) played well, too.”

The Rockets resume their Alberta swing Friday in Lethbridge, before visiting Medicine Hat on Saturday, and the Calgary Hitmen on Sunday afternoon.

STAFF REPORTER

High-scoring Kelowna Chiefs forward Nick Josephs figures the time is right to try his hand at a higher level of junior hockey.

After lighting up the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League to the tune of two points per game since joining the Chiefs at the start of the 2012-13 season, Josephs has now joined the Salmon Arm Silverbacks of the B.C. Hockey League.

“I just thought it was the right time, it’s really now or never for me as a 19-year-old,” said Josephs from Salmon Arm this week, where he has already played two games with the Silverbacks. “I don’t think I would want to come up as a 20-yearold. It was the right time to try something new and see where it takes me.”

Josephs played 74 regular season games with the Chiefs in the past two seasons, scoring 71 times and adding 81 helpers for 151 points in that time.

The 5-foot-11 Calgary native was approached by the Silverbacks earlier in the season but wanted to take care of schooling before making the jump. He’s still enrolled at UBCO but says stepping up to the junior A level was the right thing to do for him as he looks to his final two years of junior eligibility. He added it was difficult to leave the Chiefs organization.

“Everyone in the organization is very good,” he said. “They did a lot for me to get to the next

level. Ken (Andrusiak) and Grant (Sheridan) just want to make you a better player. They care about you and so it was tough to leave but I think they understand.”

It will be a big loss for the Chiefs as Josephs 37 goals and 38 helpers leads the entire KIJHL this season. But Andrusiak says the team hopes for nothing but the best for their former leading scorer.

“He has always been an excellent example for all Chiefs, both veterans and rookies alike,” said Andrusiak. “The Kelowna Chiefs sincerely thanks Nick for all of his contributions to our team and wish him the best of luck in his hockey future.”

The Silverbacks and Josephs are heading for a Coastal road trip this weekend while the Chiefs play in Beaver Valley and Castlegar this weekend. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Warriors in the lead making valuable trades The West Kelowna Warriors didn’t wait around for Friday’s B.C. Hockey League trade deadline to make some moves to fortify its lineup for the rest of the season.

The Warriors have added two 20-year-old defencemen as well as a depth forward to its lineup in deals made earlier this week, in advance of Friday’s trade deadline.

The Warriors added 20-year-old blueliner Braden Pears from Trail where he had been the Smoke Eaters best defenceman. In return for Pears, West Kelowna sent Zane Schartz and future considerations to Trail.

West Kelowna also added defenceman Ryan Fraser-Lee, 20, who was with Surrey the past two years but was injured and had been released by Surrey and the Warriors did not have to give up a player in return.

West Kelowna has also added some depth up front, with the acquisition of Nathan Craft from Langley for future con-

siderations. Craft is described as a big body that will add some grit to the lineup.

To make room for the newcomers the Warriors shipped Taylor Gra-

ham to Spruce Grove of the Alberta Junior Hockey League for future considerations while Kelowna native Brennan Clark is also expected to be dropped from the roster after retiring from hockey earlier this season.

The BCHL trade deadline is 8 p.m. Friday night.

The Warriors host Coquitlam oßåˆn Friday night in its only game of the weekend.

Apple Triathlon gets down to business with AGM Wednesday The Kelowna Apple Triathlon Society (KATS) will be hosting the 32nd annual Pushor Mitchell Apple Triathlon in August 2014.

This organizing society’s AGM takes place on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 7

y

n

p.m. at the Ramada Hotel and Conference Centre. All previous participants, event volunteers and members of the public are welcome to attend.

KATS president Richard Montgomery will provide an update on the

plans for 2014 including several new events that will give some great exposure to Kelowna.

Refreshments will be served.

Initiated by John Hindle, former mayor of the

City of Kelowna, the Apple Triathlon started back in 1983 and hosted the very first world championships in 1988.

Even though the event was an unofficial world championship, it was fol-

lowed by the formation of the International Triathlon Union and the first official World Championships in France in 1989.

The Kelowna Apple Triathlon Society is a non-profit organization

made up of approximately 50 directors and coordinators. The event takes 12 months to organize with more than 1,000 volunteer positions filled during the two-and-a half day event.

Retired Canadian tri-

athlete Simon Whitfield, Olympic gold and silver medal winner, regards this as one of his favourite triathlons.

General inquiries can be addressed to appletriathlon@gmail.com

Registration for the 2014 youth outdoor soccer season is starting now.

Entertainment IN THE LOOP A new take on the classic story of Red Riding Hood will lead the 2014 season of Bumbershoot Children’s Theatre Company from Jan. 16 to 26.

Created in the United Kingdom by playwright Mike Kenny and composer Julian Butler, the story unfolds during a sleepover at grandmother’s house, but the actors and audience are soon magically transported into the forest.

A new Bumbershoot community involvement feature will debut with a special Community Night program tonight which will be partnered with the RCMP. The 45 minute program will begin at 6 p.m. with Bumbershoot artistic director Tracy Ross reading the story of the Red Riding Hood play to a family audience.

RCMP representatives will then relate the story to real life experiences with strangers and how children should handle them, illustrating the topic of ‘stranger danger.’

Similar partnered themes will be featured with other Bumbershoot 2014 productions.

Red Riding Hood will be will be presented on Bumbershoot Theatre’s

own stage at 125-1295 Cannery Lane in the heart of Kelowna’s Arts District from Thursday through Saturday evenings at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday matinees at 2 p.m. from Jan. 16 to 19 and Jan. 23 to 26.

There will also be Sunday afternoon matinees at 2 p.m. on Jan.19 and 26. Tickets are available at the Bumbershoot Box Office at 125-1295 Cannery Lane or by calling 778-478-0142.

The Day Job exhibition features work by 26 past and present staff members of Opus Framing and Art Supplies in Kelowna.

The title Day Job refers to the fact that most artists are employed in various other occupations to provide remuneration for their expensive art habits.

Most artists who have worked at Opus would agree it has been one of their better day jobs.

Day Job is a celebration of Opus Kelowna’s 20-year anniversary of operations, and is being dedicated to the memory of the first manager of Opus Kelowna, Richard McClymont.

Day Job is curated by Neena Sood, an artist who lives in Lake Country and is a former employee of Opus.

The theme of the unreal refers to areas of

the Irish-born painter famed for his screaming papal heads. Another is the American photography-based artist Cindy Sherman, famous for work in which she dressed and posed as women in old master paintings, or from the Hollywood cinema.

ENTERTAINMENT

Fans still wait for Dido

DIDO; GREATEST HITS (RCA)

I am sure Dido released this Hits package to cash in on the stocking stuffer season but with so many Xmas albums coming out, I only just now got to it.

Dido is not prolific but she is tremendously popular in spite of the long absences. She has released only four studio albums in the last 14 years yet every release has hit the Canadian sales charts in the top 10. I recall thinking on the occasion of her last studio album in March of last year that she now has enough ‘product’ out there now to release a Greatest Hits package and my prediction came true.

Fans will love this collection and for newcomers it is really all the past Dido they will ever need.

This CD is front loaded with hits and sequenced chronologically with ambient EDM gems such as Thank You, White Flag, Here With Me, Hunter, Sand In My Shoe and others.

However, the real gold mine for big fans is the Deluxe Edition twoCD set that has 13 remixes from the likes of Deep Dish, Timbaland, DJ Cobra. Mantronix etc.

And Hey—look for the Coldplay Hits set for next year.

B

KELLIE PICKLER: THE WOMAN I AM (BLACK RIVER ENT.)

This is ex-Am Idol contestant Kellie Pickler’s fourth album and although it sold at No. 4 in the country charts, it did not score a hit single.

That has been the story for Pickler’s short musical career and without radio hits to drive country album sales, the major labels soon cut out what they consider deadwood.

As a result this new album has been recorded independently while Sony has picked it up for distribution. This explains the album title The Woman I Am as there is no overseeing major label to order or define her music.

There is plenty of roots country here with acoustic and rustic ballads and Pickler had fortunate timing on her side with the edgier original song Bonnie & Clyde released about the same time as the TV docu-drama.

The best track here is the very Pistol Annies-like No Cure For Crazy with its red-neck pretences which makes me wonder

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell if the P. Annies are looking for a fourth member.

C+

JAKE OWEN: DAYS OF GOLD (RCA)

This is also Owen’s fourth album and oddly, just like Pickler, this disc sold as high as the No.4 spot in the country charts.

Owen had only slightly more success than Pickler when it came to radio hits where three singles released from this disc only barely scraped into the top 20.

Owens gig is a little too familiar now with overly good-natured party songs about pickups (both

kinds), partying in the backwoods and beaches with beer—there is so much booze on Days Of Gold you almost wonder about his offal meats.

And if there is a misstep here on this uncomplicated album it might be on the strange, half spoken and oddly rhythmic Tall Glass Of Something, where I guess Owen is experimenting with hip hop.

Finally, maybe Pickler and Owen didn’t get too much radio time because of all the seasonal music—often success is all about timing.

INGLEHART, KENNETH VICTOR

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing on January 7, 2014 of our well-loved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Alan Freeman Cameron. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Sylvia (nee Yurkiw), sons Jim (Sonja), Rick (Susan), Dan (Yuping), Tom (Kelcey), and Ken (Marilyn), daughter Ellen (Dan) Voth, 17 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.

Alan was pre-deceased by his first wife Mary (nee Cross), his daughter Lynne, brothers Wallace and Griffith, and sister Olive Johnson.

Alan was born July 22, 1926 to Jamie and Lotus Cameron.

Growing up in Victoria, Alan spent much time at the family cabin at Cordova Bay. He enjoyed swimming, bike riding, soap box building and sweets of all kinds. After completing schooling at Sir James Douglas and Victoria High Schools, Alan joined the Canadian Army as a “Boy Soldier” in 1943.

His long and varied career included logging, a moving company, managing a small resort and owning a shoe store ‘Foot Prince’ after moving to Osoyoos in 1965 and purchasing an orchard. In 1972 Alan and Sylvia settled in Kelowna where Alan sold real estate and eventually became a mortgage appraiser for Royal Trust until his retirement.

Alan was active in many clubs and organizations including volunteering for the Canadian Diabetic Association, CNIB, Cancer Clinic and the Military Museum. He was a life-long member of the Royal Canadian Legion, always there for the honour guard until his health failed him. One of Alan’s greatest pleasures in life was fishing whenever he had a chance, whether it was salt water salmon fishing or fresh water trout fishing. He liked tinkering in his shop, painting signs and decorations and woodcrafting. He regularly partook in a good, stiff scotch, saying with a twinkle in his eye, ‘just two fingers, please’. Alan’s family left a lasting legacy in Victoria, the Cameron Bandshell in Beacon Hill Park.Alan and Sylvia enjoyed trips to Yellowstone Park, Disneyland, Reno, the Maritimes and visited Europe while his son Jim was stationed in Germany.

He went to many ‘Boy Soldier’ reunions and looked forward to trips doing ‘The Loop’ through Alberta and Saskatchewan to see relatives and friends. Highlights in his later years were semi-annual family reunions in Seebe, AB and as his health became fragile, his family came to him.

Alan rarely complained of the pain he endured and smiled through it all. Our family sincerely thanks Dr. Chris Livingston, and the caring staff at Three Links Manor and then Mountainview Village. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Diabetic Association would be appreciated.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Alan’s honour in April.

“We rise again in the faces of our children.

As sure as the sunrise, as sure as the sea, as sure as the wind in the trees, we rise again.”

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com

Ken’s family sadly announces his passing on Tuesday, January 7, 2014 with his loving wife Leona at his side.

A celebration of life will be held in Spring. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to BC Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4 – 1551 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

GEOFFREY GARNEYS JOHNSON

October 4 1925 - December 22, 2013 Geoff passed away peacefully at Sutherland Hills Rest Home, Kelowna. Geoff grew up in East Kelowna and he and his father were among the community members who built St. Mary?s Anglican Church in 1936. He served in the Royal Canadian Navy in WWII, as a Navy gunner on merchant ships in convoy across the Atlantic. A life-long resident of East Kelowna, Geoff was an orchardist for many years. He served on the boards of directors for the BC Fruit Growers’ Association, the Laurel Packing House, St. Mary’s Church and the East Kelowna Community Hall. He also operated heavy machinery and worked on construction of the original Vancouver Island Highway, the Hope-Princeton Highway, and many projects around Kelowna.

Geoff and Joan Bennett were married in 1953, and had three children - Jan, Pat, and Rob. The family enjoyed spending time during the summers boating, at the beach lot, and cheering on stock car #88. Joan and Geoff enjoyed the outdoors, spending many happy summers travelling and living in their fifth wheel trailer during their retirement. They both delighted in their four granddaughters, who added another joyous family dimension to their lives. Following Joan’s death in 2008, Geoff continued living at home until 2012 when he moved to Sutherland Hills, close to Rob’s family. He enjoyed watching the quail and other birds that he loved and his days were brightened by daily visits from his good friend and honorary niece, Jennifer Bauer.

Geoff was pre-deceased by his wife Joan and his brother Ted, and is survived by his daughter Jan (Ron Webster), his daughter Pat (Ron Cheffins), his son Rob (Elaine), his four granddaughters, Olivia, Hannah, Emma, and Kate, his sisters Joan Clapp and Valerie Reece, his sister-in-law Judy Johnson, and many nieces and nephews.

Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Sutherland Hills, who enjoyed Geoff’s sense of humour, and made his time there comfortable and happy. At Geoff’s request, no funeral or memorial service is being held.

SUNWEST SELECT 55 CATHARINE HAMM/CONTRIBUTOR

LADY Fiona Carnarvon, the countess of Highclere Castle, which stands in for Downton Abbey, the wildly popular PBS TV series. The castle is about five miles from the town of Newbury, England.

Under the spell of Highclere Castle Catharine Hamm CONTRIBUTOR

NEWBURY, England—He is a farmer, she says, and she is a farmer’s wife. They are active in their community. She writes a bit on the side, her writing room only recently having been wired for electricity.

On my recent visit to her home, she was warm and welcoming. Her yellow Lab, Bella, followed her closely as her mistress ushered visitors into the house.

And oh my. What a house. Two hundred rooms. Forty bedrooms.

Silk wallcoverings in one room, 16th century Spanish leather wallcoverings in another. An original Van Dyck. A display on Egyptology, in honour of one of the previous occupants who just happened to have discovered King Tut’s tomb.

Hundreds of other treasures make it abundantly clear that you are not in Kansas anymore.

You are, instead, on the set of Downton Abbey, but it’s not a set at all.

It is Highclere Castle, and for viewers of the wild-

ly popular PBS show, it is this magnificent home they see, outside and partly inside too.

The farmer’s wife, as she called herself—the Countess of Carnarvon— has tried hard to keep it a home, she says, rather than a museum, although she and her husband, the Eighth Earl of Carnarvon, and their son often live elsewhere.

But Highclere isn’t exactly a home, at least, not the way we might think of one. I may display pictures of my god-

mother in my home, but she is not Queen Elizabeth II, the current earl’s godmother, whose photo is on display. I have a desk, but it didn’t belong to Napoleon Bonaparte. My dishes are not Meissen china.

To be at Highclere, as I was in October with a group of foreign reporters, is to be caught in the spell of the fairy-tale story of the castle that gave rise to Downton Abbey. The enchantment stretches beyond the 5,000 acres of the estate, where sheep graze on the green hills

and wheat, oats and other crops are grown, to the quaint town of Newbury and maybe, I hoped, to the promise of a Hollywood-style tidbit to tantalize friends and fans at home.

A cab deposited me and my sister at the White Hart Inn in Hamstead Marshall, about four miles from Newbury.

The family room where we dropped our bags was up a set of creaking steps in a converted carriage house—plenty of room to stretch out (a double and

single bed), a minty-green colour scheme and, best of all, a bath in which you didn’t have to hold your breath to move around.

Back in the lobby/pub/ restaurant, we quizzed manager Richard Huxtable about all things Downton. He isn’t a follower.

“It’s a period drama,” he said, though I wasn’t sure whether it was the period (perhaps too modern for the manager of a 16th century inn) or the drama (perhaps Lady Edith does go on a bit much) that he disdained.

Paul Westbrook doesn’t watch it either, which also disappointed me because his car service often transports the Downton actors. He drove us several places, and we expected some gossipy bits about the cast. They are “lovely” people, he says—Maggie Smith, who plays the acid-tongued dowager countess of Grantham; Elizabeth McGovern, the American-born countess of Grantham; her TV spouse, Hugh Bonneville, the earl; and Shirley See Highclere A36

Five ways for families to get more sleep in 2014 Parents who are tired of being tired due to their children’s poor sleep habits, take heart.

Joleen Dilk Salyn, a certified child sleep consultant and founder of Baby Sleep 101, offers the following advice to start the New Year off right: 1. Implement and maintain a regular routine Often the holidays throw our children’s sleep off track, but once you’re home and settled, it’s important to have a consistent routine established.

Babies, toddlers and children alike thrive on consistency. They appreciate knowing what’s coming next and when they do, negative behaviour such as bedtime resistance and tantrums are minimized.

2. Watch for subtle sleepy cues One of the best tools parents have is to recognize when their children are just starting to become tired.

Often, parents mistakenly wait until their child is yawning profusely before they put them down to sleep, but by that time, they are already passing from being drowsy to overtired.

When children are overtired, they don’t nap as well and are more likely to wake at night.

Instead of waiting to see yawns, par-

ents should watch for much subtler cues such as quieting down, staring into space, turning away from toys or people and becoming less vocal or active.

3. Keep bedtime early Early bedtimes are a great way to help children stay well-rested. It doesn’t matter if you have an infant, toddler or school-aged child; early bedtimes benefit all.

Children five and younger should be asleep between 6 to 8 p.m., but if they’re overtired, bedtime should be at least 30 minutes earlier for four to five days.

4. Get rid of sleep props If a baby needs a soother to be replaced or an older child needs a glass of water each night, then they are sleep prop dependent.

Since falling asleep unassisted is a learned skill, parents need to remove the prop so their child can learn to fall asleep without mom and dad’s help each time.

5. Be consistent When parents are ready to make changes to their child’s sleep habits, they should follow the above tips and do so consistently.

Poor sleep habits aren’t created overnight; likewise parents shouldn’t expect to see improvements until after several days of a new routine.

Housing market upswing predicted Optimism for housing sales T recovery in 2014 A he B.C. housing market will see slow but steady growth over the next three years, according to a forecast by Central 1 Credit Union.

The trade association for B.C. and Ontario credit unions predicts the number of sales will rise about seven per cent to 72,500 in 2014, and reach 84,000 by 2016.

The median resale price is forecast to increase 1.5 per cent in 2014, 2.5 per cent in 2015 and three per cent in 2016.

New home sales are expected to rebound by about 30 per cent in 2014, but remain at a low level of 15,500 units sold,

VICTORIA VIEWS

Tom Fletcher

said Central 1 economist Brian Yu. New construction in the Lower Mainland Southwest region is expected to decline slightly due to high inventory, while housing starts are forecast to rise in most other areas of the province.

B.C. PRICES DEFLATION

B.C.’s consumer price index slipped into negative territory in Novem-

ber, partly due the repeal of the harmonized sales tax last spring.

The price index in Vancouver was up slightly, but deflation in Victoria and other areas of the province produced a provincial average of -0.2 per cent for the month.

Canada-wide, inflation was 0.9 per cent.

The cost of restaurant food fell 4.4 per cent in November compared to the same month in 2012, Statistics Canada reported. The provincial average cost of health and personal care, including services where sales tax was removed, went down 3.1 per cent.

There were average price increases in food

purchased from stores, up 1.1 per cent, clothing up 1.3 per cent, transportation up 0.7 per cent and alcohol and tobacco products, up 1.7 per cent.

Average rent costs were up 1.0 per cent, but overall shelter cost was down 0.7 per cent, continuing a decline since mid-2012.

POPULATION GROWING

B.C.’s population grew by 24,000 in the third quarter of 2013, reaching 4,606,375.

It’s the largest population increase for that quarter since 1996. The increase was mainly a result of 15,477 non-permanent residents, which Statistics Canada warns are a vola-

tile component of population measurement.

Northern B.C. communities are dealing with what they call “ghost populations,” with thousands of workers flying in and out of industrial camps who put pressure on local services without contributing to communities.

Interprovincial migration figures showed the seventh consecutive quarter of net loss for B.C., down 282 people from the second quarter.

B.C.’s total population increase over the 12 months ending Oct. 1 was 47,496 people, mainly due to international immigration, which saw a net gain of 35,282 people.

▼ OF PRIME INTEREST

Prognosticating changing interest rates There was a lot of talk over the past year about what the Bank of Canada would do with interest rates and possible further tightening of mortgage rules to slow down real estate sales and slow down credit.

We are fortunate to live in a country where our banking system is already tight to hopefully soften any price reductions in real estate.

But now looking ahead to 2104, unfortunately we don’t have a crystal ball to predict interest rates and whether or not there will be further tightening of credit.

Here are some of the things we have to watch when it comes to an increase or decrease in the interest rates.

Will the Bank of Canada tighten lending rules further? If the housing market heats up during the year, this could lead to more debt for Canadians.

As 2013 ended, debt remained a concern for the majority of us and was also mentioned several times throughout the year by the Bank of Canada.

It is hoped spending is under control and we’ll get an indication from sources that will keep us informed; If inflation rises above the bank’s two to three per cent projections, we will likely see interest rate increases for lending; If the economy picks up speed, that may also reflect in higher rates.

Should Canada’s economy

remain sluggish and inflation remains under control, below the Bank of Canada’s target we might see a flat interest rate scenario.

Bond prices will also have an effect on interest rates. If bond rates increase that will affect the spreads between what financial institutions earn on their mortgages and what their borrowing costs are. That will also mean an increase in mortgage rates. In 2013, the bond rates increased and there was a rise in the interest rates charged by the financial institutions. Should bond rates decrease, as in the past, borrowing costs should also decrease.

With the uncertainty of where mortgage rates will travel, some people are hedging against rate fluctuations by splitting their

mortgages into one part fixed rate and a second part variable.

By doing so, they are not putting all their eggs in one basket. They will have a mortgage portion they don’t have to worry about, while with a variable rate mortgage have an option to lock in the variable portion at any time, in most cases without a penalty.

Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Darwyn Sloat, 250-7184117, dsloat@kelownahomemortgages.ca; Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324, trishb@kelownahomemortgages.ca; Christine Hawkins, 250-826-2001, christine@kelownahomemortgages. ca; and Kristin Rosdal, 250-8783007, kristin@kelownahomemortgages.ca.

nother year is now behind us all, a year of lower than usual inventory, low interest rates and slightly higher sales volume, but one has to wonder where the real estate market is headed to in 2014.

Some sellers who had REAL ESTATE predictably taken their RUNDOWN homes off of the market for the Christmas holidays are optimistically waiting for the good news that 2014 will be a prosCeinwen perous year with sales inat higher price Morgan creasing amounts.

But the reality is we will not know until we get there.

However, according to a survey that was released Dec. 30th by The Investors Group-Harris Decima Index, despite the governments concerns of Canadians taking on too much debt too quickly, home-hunters and homeowners are heading into the first quarter with confidence that the economic growth will continue to pick up. The numbers reflected that the optimism across Canada over the past three months, such confidence that this survey has not seen displayed in the marketplace since 2011.

“Canadians are poised to finish 2013 with more buoyant consumer confidence which is more likely to be fuelled by increasingly positive views on the value of real estate,” said Nik Nanos, head of Ottawa-based Nanos Research Group.

The United States real estate market has also been experiencing a similar optimism for the 2014 economy.

In 2013, the U.S. has seen higher sales volumes and prices, but like Canada sale prices are still considered on the lower side of the spectrum. So as the U.S. continues to progress from the 2008 economic setback, as always Canada is falling suit.

Canadian Real Estate Association’s 2013 sales projections anticipate next year will be even stronger, with 475,000 homes sold nationally, up from the previous 2014 forecast of 465,600.

But homeowners need to keep a cautious and realistic outlook. Don’t expect to see pre-2008 housing prices return anytime soon.
