CP HOLIDAY

TRAIN helps feed the hungry

6 - Christmas in Kamloops 2019 | Part 1

I

f there’s one time of year that’s particularly tough for those who struggle to feed their families and themselves, it’s got to be the holidays.

As everyone around you talks of gathering kin around massive roasted turkeys or hams, those who have trouble putting food on the table are especially in need of assistance.

The CP Holiday Train is an annual fundraiser that travels across the country raising money to help exactly those people.

It’s been raising money for food banks since 1999 and has raised more than $15.8 million and collected 4.5 million pounds of food since then.

It starts its journey in Montreal on Nov. 25 and will travel across Canada to Vancouver, where it will stop on Dec. 17.

It will stop at a number of communities along the way, including Kamloops on Dec. 15 at 4:30 p.m. on the north side of Sandman Centre Parking Lot on Lorne Street.

Come and see the train during its stop in your city to catch the musical performances that take place during the train’s stop. 2019 promises to be an exciting year for performances, with Alan Doyle and Beautiful Band playing from Montreal to Calgary, with Terri Clark coming about during the final leg from Calgary to Vancouver.

Clark is a three-time Juno Award winner and holds the honor of being the only Canadian female member of the legendary Grand Ole Opry.

any families have a tradition at Christmastime to take an evening, pile into the family car and go for a trip through their neighbourhood checking out the many colourful light displays around them.

Some might even travel further, to other neighbourhoods, areas where they’ve heard that the light displays are particularly exciting.

If that’s your thing, make time in

8 - Christmas in Kamloops 2019 | Part 1

during your journey for a visit to the B.C. Wildlife Park for their annual Wild Lights event. Maybe even make it a trip of its own.

Wildlights runs from Dec. 13 to Jan. 5 at the park just east of the city, excluding Christmas Day. Thousands of bright and colourful lights make up holiday displays.

Though be sure to visit after the sun goes down — the displays aren’t lit up during the daylight hours.

Be sure to check out favourite stops like the Home Hardware Family Farm and Santa Claus, or visit the new Tunnel of Lights. If you have a sweet tooth, come by on Dec. 14 and 15 for the cookie baking contest Don’t forget to visit the Wildlife Express miniature train to take a train-powered tour of the park and get up close with some of the featured lighting exhibits.

THE SNOW QUEEN PANTO will give you chills

A

n annual holiday pantomime has become a Kamloops tradition and 2019 is set to continue that with The Snow Queen: A Totally Frozen Panto produced by The Laughing Stock Theatre Society.

The play, written by Vance Schneider, is an adaptation of The Snow Queen, which was the basis for Disney’s Frozen.

The play will tell the story of an unlikely band of heroes and heroines — plus the Dame and

dicey reindeer — who join forces to stop the evil Snow Queen from her attempts to forever cast the world into doom and gloom.

While similar to traditional theatre, British Pantos involve a large degree of audience involvement, which can make the experience particularly fun for younger audience members.

For example, loud cheering of the hero and booing of the villain is not only welcome, but encouraged.

At other times, loudly disagreeing

The Snow Queen: A Totally Frozen Panto is the 9th annual traditional British Panto produced in Kamloops by The Laughing Stock Theatre Society. It runs from Dec. 24 to Dec. 30 at the Sagebursh Theatre. Tickets are available online at thelaughingstock.ca

SOUND OF

MUSIC T

he Sound of Music might be best known as the 1965 film starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, but the film was actually an adaptation of the 1959 stage musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein.

That musical will be on stage in Kamloops this holiday season thanks to Western Canada Theatre.

The story, which is based on the memoir The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp,

12 - Christmas in Kamloops 2019 | Part 1

tells of a young Austrian who is sent to the home of a retired naval officer to be the governess to his seven children.

Featuring songs like My Favourite Things, Do-Re-Mi, and Climb Ev’ry Mountain The Sound of Music is the most popular musical in history.

The musical runs from Nov. 28 to Dec. 10 at the Sagebrush Theatre with evening performances at 7:30 p.m, Saturday matinees at 2 p.m., and

Wednesday matinees at 11 a.m. It runs two hours and 45 minutes including intermission.

Pay what you can matinees are on Nov. 30 at 2 p.m. and Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. There is a tea matinee on Dec. 4 at 11:00 a.m. where you can enjoy a special discount, tea, and a treat. There is also a pizza night with a pre-show chat on Dec. 5 at 6:30 p.m. This performance is followed by a post-show talk-back after curtain call.

Raising money for

LOCAL GROUPS

A

s the weather turns colder and we get closer to white flakes drifting down from the sky, we also begin to enter the season of giving.

One of the signs that we’ve entered that season is the start of KTW’s fundraising drive for the Christmas Cheer Fund — a start that this story is announcing.

This is the sixth year that KTW has been behind the Christmas Cheer Fund, having picked it up from the Kamloops Daily News and Gregg Drinnan in 2014.

The money raised from the Christmas Cheer Fund supports five local charities each year, though things are a little different in 2019.

“The Falcon Program, run by Boys and Girls Club, has ceased operation,” explained Tim Shoults, operations manager of Aberdeen Publishing, KTW’s parent company.

“So what we decided was we would simply go down to four charities, and share the total amount raised between the four of them instead.”

The four charities being supported this year are the

14 - Christmas in Kamloops 2019 | Part 1

Kamloops Brain Injury Association, Out of the Cold, The Mustard Seed, and the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter.

Though new charities are selected every two years, the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter has a permanent place on the list at the request of Drinnan, who originally created the fundraiser.

Some organizations are able to use the funds for larger projects, like The Mustard Seed which upgraded their kitchen last year, allowing them to maintain their meal programs at an optimum level.

And for other organizations, it allows them to keep the lights on without the constant need to scramble for funds.

“They have to spend as much time focusing on getting and applying for funds as they do doing the work for which they need the money,” Shoults said.

Donations can be made directly at the Kamloops This Week office at 1365B Dalhousie Drive or online at www.kamloopsthisweek.com/cheer

TREE tips & tricks

20 - Christmas in Kamloops 2019 | Part 1

C

hristmas trees are an iconic symbol of the holiday season. Whether they are personal trees nestled in the corner of a living room for families to enjoy or towering evergreens serving as the focal point of a town square, Christmas trees are a wonder to behold.

Many people have fond memories of time spent around the Christmas tree sharing gifts and family traditions. Live trees and their pine-like aroma can be especially nostalgic trees to include in holiday plans.

Approximately 3 to 6 million real Christmas trees are sold in Canada every year.

While freshly cut trees can be particularly beautiful and aromatic additions to the season, they require a bit more work than artificial trees in order to remain beautiful and thrive throughout the holiday season.

Maintenance can help keep Christmas trees as perfect as possible.

• Even though it is tempting to buy a real tree as early as possible, their shelf life is limited even with the best care. Dural Christmas Tree Farm advises that, under the best conditions, a real tree should last up to four weeks before drying out.

• Consider the needles when looking for a real tree.

Pull your hand toward your body along the branches.

If many needles fall off, the tree is past its peak.

• Think about the room in which the tree will be located. Leave at least 6 inches between the tip of the tree and the ceiling, accounting for the height of the tree stand as well.

• If needle retention is a goal, the Scotch pine variety has the best needle retention and a high survival rate, lending to its popularity, offers Precision Tree and Landscape. Douglas fir and balsam fir are other durable trees.

• If possible, buy a freshly cut tree from a reputable nursery or tree farm, advises The Old Farmer’s Almanac. Many pre-cut trees sold elsewhere were likely cut weeks before and may not be fresh.

• Cut the bottom of the tree trunk before bringing it home to facilitate the uptake of fresh water daily.

Trees can absorb as much as a gallon of water in a day, so make sure the tree gets fresh water every day.

• Keep trees away from as many heat sources as possible and away from direct sunlight to prolong longevity.

• According to Karabin Farms in Connecticut, to make a Christmas tree last longer, boil a gallon of water and then dissolve one cup of sugar in the water.

Allow to cool. After freshly cutting the trunk, pour in the warm sugar water. Continue to add fresh, cool, plain water to the tree stand afterward. Once needles begin to fall off with frequency, the tree is reaching its prime. Remove it so it does not become a fire hazard.

How to create a durable

GINGER BREAD HOUSE

G

ingerbread cookies are one of the many symbols of the holiday season, alongside Christmas trees and twinkling lights.

In fact, few confections symbolize the holidays more so than gingerbread.

Many a child (or a child at heart) has spent hours carefully trying to create decorative gingerbread houses. Although gingerbread recipes span various cultures, gingerbread houses originated in 16th century Germany. The fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel” helped solidify the popularity of gingerbread, which became part of Christmas traditions.

Even though gingerbread houses can be fun to make, there’s no denying it can be exacting work — especially for those who strive for perfection. Prepackaged kits attempt to take some of the guesswork out of the equation, but those who are crafting from scratch can employ these tips as they build their gingerbread houses.

o for form & not flavor G Few gingerbread houses ever get eaten, so focus on finding a dough that will bake up rock hard as opposed to one that tastes good. et the right icing texture G Pastry artist Catherine Beddall says royal icing is the preferred “glue” to adhere gingerbread pieces. Beddall says icing should be thick like peanut butter and not runny.

Patience is key Allow the icing to dry for at least a couple of hours after adhering each piece and before moving and handling the house, says Beddall.

Work in stages so that individual items can be decorated and allowed to dry. Then the walls can be put together, followed by the roof pieces.

Kids likely will need help Children may not have the patience Mind the dough or steadiness to handle complete Do not roll out the gingerbread gingerbread construction. They can dough too thin or it may become decorate the separate pieces of the brittle after being cooked. Always cut house while the components are out shapes before the gingerbread laying flat, which is easier for kids. is baked. Let the baked pieces sit Adults can do the main assembly overnight to cool completely before later on. using them to build.

Utilize a template Free-handing may not be easy. Cut out templates using cardboard or posterboard for various gingerbread pieces.

One of the most important tips is to have fun. Don’t take gingerbread house making too seriously as a novice. Rather, enjoy the experience and the centuries-old tradition.
