Real plants optimal for outdoor decor Revive and naturalize the holidays Susan Semenak Postmedia News Can Christmas decoration be bling-free? To the legions of eager holiday decorators who pore through the Canadian Tire weekly flyer for the newest shooting-star icicle lights or six-foot tinsel-wrapped palm trees, the answer is no. So, too, for the ho-ho-happy neighbours who, right after Halloween, gave the street a “holiday glow” with their miles of multicoloured rope lights and giant airblown Santas, Rudolphs, Frostys and Snoopys. “Usually I have pretty good taste. But at Christmas I get all kitschy and flashy. Like a kid, I am drawn to all that glitters and shines,” confides Sarah Dufresne, who has just stacked her cart at Home Depot with a five-foot pre-lit

It’s not that he’s anti-Christmas, but floral designer Vincent Brochu prefers a more secular “winter theme” for his outdoor arrangements, one that relies on indigenous materials and the colours and textures found in nature for a softer, wilder aesthetic. It’s a look that endures even

after the holidays, once the poinsettias and candy canes are passe. “People rely on silk flowers, bright red fake poinsettias and plastic baubles to give a Christmas look to their homes. But all the colours and textures are often just too fake. Too much. Too unreal,” he says. Naturalists like Brochu look not to the North Pole, but to Quebec’s dramatic winter landscapes for inspiration. They gather branches and birch logs, evergreen boughs and wild berries and hew to

Outdoor balcony arrangement with branches and evergreen by Montreal floral designer Vincent Brochu. the tones and textures of the forest in the balcony arrangements and window boxes they create for themselves and their clients. “I’m just not a ribbon kind of guy. All those bows get crushed and faded, or they blow away,” Brochu says from the counter at Philippe et Vincent, the flower shop he co-owns in Montreal. Already, the counters and work room are filling up with the booty his “pickers” in the countryside have begun bringing in by the boxful.

He favours tall rectangular metal containers in black or verdigris for creating contemporary arrangements of tightly packed twigs for a narrow entryway. He’ll gather bunches of long, thin willow or dogwood branches, for example, and fasten them tightly. He fits them snugly into the container and then clips them in a straight line across the top to form a column. If he wants a little colour, he will find it in the mahogany-red bark of Siberian dog-

wood branches or a stalk of fire-engine red ilex berries. For a little flash, he might tuck a set of unicoloured mini lights into the evergreen branches or mosses at the base of his arrangement. For a little whimsy, on a covered balcony protected from the elements, he might add a few hanging ornaments to an arrangement of bare branches. But they, too, will be natural — either star-shaped birch bark ornaments or moss or bark-covered balls. Over at Folle Avoine, in Montreal’s Little Italy, the flower shop’s owner, Michel L’Heureux, has been busy for two weeks creating outdoor arrangements ranging in price from $200 to $500 for his residential and commercial clients. Cast-iron urns are his signature bases. He likes them for their heft (they are too heavy to be blown down in a storm) and their classic beauty. Their footed bases also foster the illusion of height and grandeur — and they keep the branches and greens out of the accumulating snow.

Eight influential home designs trends for 2013 Stu Niebergall New Home design is always evolving and adapting. Consumer preference is always influenced by geography, economics and to some degree local preferences, but some trends are visible right across the broader North American market. One thing is certain — good design is not limited to high-priced and custom-built homes and this is evident right here in our Regina market. According to the National Home Builders Association eight new design trends have

emerged in 2012 that will influence 2013. They are: Design trend No. 1: Classic yet contemporary. The new houses with strong sales now are those that blend modern and traditional elements to create cleaner and simpler elevations. Interior spaces are clean, bright and simple. Gone are the heavy detailing and generous ornamentation of the recent past. Design trend No. 2: Outdoor spaces as an extension of living space. Whether for a single-family house or a multi-family building, home buyers are looking for private outdoor spaces that blend seamlessly with the indoors. This trend cuts across geographic regions, being as true in the colder sections of the country as in the warmer,

milder areas. Design trend No. 3: Good, cost-effective designs. To keep construction costs low, we’ll see multiple roof lines and complexity give way to simplified forms. Gone is the “exploding roof ” design paradigm for the straightforward gable roof and rectangular form. Innovative and creative approaches to layouts, storage, curb appeal and so on will be established in the early design stage to ensure that the new designs don’t become boring. Design trend No. 4: The family triangle. It used to be that open floor plans were limited to certain geographic regions and buyer profiles. Now the open floor plan is desired by every market segment. The old living room

has been replaced by a flexible space that can be used as needed while still being close to the family triangle. The new open plans rely on light and detail to give a feeling of spaciousness rather than simply being large. Design trend No. 5: Multigenerational living. Whether it’s because more are children returning home after university or more parents are moving in with the family, multi-generational homes are increasing in popularity. In fact, one study indicated that the construction of such homes has jumped 30 per cent in the past few years. Design trend No. 6: Kitchen entertaining with a view. Kitchens continue to be without a doubt the centre of the house. But with square

MIKE HOLMES Make it Right

There’s a lot of confusion about title insurance. Some people call title insurance the “surprise” insurance because they assume it covers any surprises with the property they’re buying. It’s only when there’s a problem that homeowners actually check what their policy covers. By then, it’s too late. What does title insurance cover? Does it cover structure, hidden things in the basement, leaks? How many homeowners ask these questions before buying any insurance related to their home? Not enough, I can tell you that much. Most people buy title insurance when they purchase a home. But it’s not required in Canada. It’s meant to protect homeowners from perils such as title fraud, unpaid liens, encroachments from neighbouring properties — anything that can challenge the ownership of your home, or anything related to the title of your home. It also covers losses related to the title or ownership of the property. But it’s not a home warranty or home insurance policy. Every insurance policy is different. And, as the insurance company makes up the rules, do you think they play to lose? For instance, most insurance companies don’t cover a leaking foundation. Why? Probably because almost every single foundation leaks. Insurance companies would go bankrupt if they covered leaking foundations. That’s why they make the rules on what they will and will

not cover. That’s just smart business. So you need to be smart too. You pay for title insurance for a reason. But too many homeowners aren’t clear on what that reason is. And that can lead to a lot of trouble. Let me give you a scenario: A couple bought title insurance on an old house that had been renovated. They discover the renovation was done wrong and now they’ve got over $100,000 worth of repairs on their hands. Their title insurance policy says it covers any losses related to work done on the house without per mits. But in this case, there were permits on the work. Permits mean the work was inspected by a city building inspector. If the government comes in and signs off on a job they’re saying everything’s been done properly to minimum code. It puts responsibility on the government because the work was passed by the city inspector. So now the title insurance company is asking for the city to issue a work order. Why? Because the work order makes the city liable. When the city issues a work order — sometimes called an Order to Comply — to a homeowner, it usually means some part of their home needs to be brought up to minimum code. And there’s the problem. The city passed the work. But the title insurance company is asking them to say — in writing — the work is wrong and needs to be fixed. When something’s wrong with a job that has been passed, we’ve got a big problem. Title insurance isn’t going to pay for repairs because permits were pulled on the job — and they were passed. The gover nment isn’t going to come back be-

cause it doesn’t want to be liable. Who’s going to pay? No one. Who’s at fault? Is it the homeowner who got the renovation? Is it the contractor that was hired? Is it the title insurance company, the building inspector, or the government? As far as I’m concerned, it’s all of the above. Bottom line, some homeowners do what they are supposed to do. They get a home inspected before they buy it. They look into past renovations and ask if there were permits pulled. They buy title insurance. But when there’s a problem who gets stuck holding the bill? They do. Is that right? T h e o n ly w ay t o g e t around this is to ask plenty of questions about what your title insurance covers. You need to know what it covers (and doesn’t cover), up to how much and for how long. Also find out if you can pay extra to make sure it covers everything. It might be just a thousand bucks more, but I’d pay a thousand dollars for that extra insurance. Or you might need a different type of insurance altogether. Before you buy title insurance talk to a lawyer and the title insurance company. Make sure you understand what you’re getting. When you buy the most expensive investment of your life — a home — it’s your problem. No matter what, the responsibility is always left in your hands. You need to make sure the insurance you get does what you need it to do. No one else will make sure for you.

Design trend No. 8: Less land development, more focus on multi-family. The trend is to smaller developments and with a proximity to transportation and other amenities. A mix of housing types and buyer profiles is evident so that families across generations can live close to one other. Less emphasis is now placed on the importance of a car, as buyers want to live in walk-toeverything communities. We will watch as these trends unfold right here in Regina, influencing the look and feel not only of our newly built homes, but of our new neighbourhoods as well. Niebergall is president and CEO of the Regina and Region Home Builders’ Association

footage being trimmed, designers are having to develop innovative solutions for storage and functional needs. There’s also an increasing use of large windows to keep the kitchen light, bright and airy so it can live large. The loss of wall space for cabinetry is made up with walk-in pantries (dubbed the “Costco Closet”), where it’s not uncommon to find the (messy) kitchen desk hidden from view. Design trend No. 7: Green design elements that consumers understand and want. Buyers expect a certain level of green elements in their homes today. Items that are somewhat familiar, reduce operating costs and are easy to use are the most popular.

Continued from F1 L’Heureux combines different evergreens to create visual and textural interest. He mixes golden-green cedar with blue-green pine branches and adds dried coppercoloured magnolia leaves or greyish eucalyptus. He also staggers the lengths of his branches, cutting some short and tucking them in tight while letting others drape and swag from up high, so that his arrangements have a full, lush feeling. Rich, burnished copper is this year’s coup de coeur colour among the designers at Westmount Florist in Pointe Claire Village. It is featured in tightly woven vine balls that sit within window boxes filled with branches and evergreen foliage or on shimmering spray-painted twigs anchored in cast iron urns. And they are relying on the silvery tones of white birch for winter drama, using bells, thick branches and logs in arrangements that

Deck your condo to scale through the holidays Marilyn Wilson For Postmedia News It’s officially the holiday season and you may want your condo to reflect this joie de vivre. While you might think that condo decorating is the same as house decorating, that is just not the case. With a condo, not only do you have less storage space, you also have less floor space. This is why the key to holiday decorating is streamlining your decor. Instead of filling your condo with things that take up room on tables and the floor, like nutcrackers and mini Christmas villages, try hanging things. Displaying wreaths, for example, can be a beautiful way of showing off your holiday spirit. And they can be tailored to your taste to allow personal style to show through. For instance, purchase or create wreaths with pine cones, ribbon, rosemary or holly. A string of twinkle lights is another accessory that will shine. Holiday lights are the perfect accent for high-profile areas. Place them above the sink or in alcoves, on mantels or around doorways or mirrors. They are guaranteed to introduce cheer to small spaces. Why not take advantage of your dormant outdoor space for holiday displays? Wind miniature lights around your railing or adorn your deck with a small fir tree covered in lights to make things festive and add visual space. You can save even more space (and money) by considering this to be your main tree instead of buying one for your living room. It’s important to bring hol-

When storage space is at a minimum, think about decorations such as wire ribbon or filling existing vases with elegant ornaments or oranges. iday cheer to all the senses. A wonderful way to bring the smell of the holidays into your condo is with whole cloves and beautiful oranges, sticking the cloves into the oranges in patterns. Not only will this make a fantastic centrepiece or counter display but the sweet smell will also tantalize your sniffer. One holiday accessory you simply cannot do without is music. Create a holiday mix with your favourite seasonal tunes and play it in the background all day long. Some of my favourite holiday music includes Michael Buble’s album Christmas and Diana Krall’s relaxing Christmas Songs. These make wonderful background music for dinner or general listening. If you have a favourite artist, check if he or she has released a holiday selection. Another thing to remember if you’re in a condo is that you should be careful not to go overboard with decorating as storage can be an issue. Remember that you will have to keep your decorations packed away for most

of the year. Pass on purchasing that expansive manger scene or 10-foot menorah. There are many ways to maximize your decorating while minimizing storage space. One way is to decorate with beautiful high-end wired ribbons. In gold or silver, wired ribbon is festive and magical and requires no storage space. Large collections of nutcrackers or window displays may be a logistical challenge for the rest of the year. Why not try filling an existing large vase or bowl with elegant or naments. Remember, ornaments can be fragile and may require extra protection, using up your limited storage space. When decorating your condo remember that a little decoration will go a long way in a small interior space. Use your condo sense when decking the halls. Oh, and since most condos will not have a chimney, you might have to get creative with your cookie placement. But don’t worry, Santa will find them. Have a happy holidays.

Interior Design

Prepare your space for seasonal shift and what isn’t. If winter items will be hung in a closet, Flynn opts for “thick wooden hangers or sculptural modern aluminum hangers to keep the structural integrity of coats or heavy pants.” For lighter summer items, Luetkemeyer recommends slim, foamcovered hangers that take up less space and won’t let items like camisoles slip off. Consider splurging on rebuilding your closets with exactly the shelving and hanging space you want: “This way, every closet in the house can work for all seasons,” says Flynn. “We spend a ton of money on our cars and have garages built for them, right? Well, we spend just as much on our wardrobes, so why not invest in a space to store that investment?”

Melissa Rayworth THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It’s that time of year again, when we pull out the blankets and sweaters and stash the last of the warm-weather items until spring arrives. Many homes lack the space needed to store everything right where we use it. So seasonal things get shuttled around and sometimes even misplaced. If the serving dishes you use only at the holidays are stacked way up at the top of your pantry, “you may find yourself running out and buying something you’ve already got, because you can’t remember what you have or you can’t get to it,” says Atlanta-based interior designer Mallory Mathison. Many of her clients struggle with insufficient closet space for storing items that are only used for a few months each year. Here, Mathison and interior designers Brian Patrick Flynn and Molly Luetkemeyer offer advice on creatively storing off-season items in ways that maximize every inch of space and make it easy to retrieve what you need.

Roll out the racks

Brian Patrick Flynn

Left, designer Brian Patrick Flynn took a used dresser from a flea market, then removed the bottom two drawers to create an open lounge space for pets complete with a removable cushion. The spare drawers are used for storing seasonal items. Right, hooks on the wall of a nursery or bedroom adds storage space for seasonal clothing, which can also serve as decor. furniture might have room underneath for flat storage bins.

Try creative carpentry Mathison suggests having built-in cabinets added along the walls on both sides of your bed. Creating this architectural niche for your bed “is totally cozy, and it also creates great concealed and/or open storage,” she says. Another built-in option: If your kitchen cabinets don’t go all the way to the ceiling, add extra closed storage on top for seasonal serving dishes and table linens. Or have a row of very shallow shelves (no more than 3 or 4 inches deep) added to one wall of your kitchen or pantry. You can prop up dishware or serving pieces you rarely use, creatively storing them while adding some beauty to your walls. Also, search your home for bits of square-footage that aren’t being used, such

Many people use the space under their master bed for seasonal storage. Luetkemeyer suggests doing the same with every bed in the house. Tuck clear plastic bins under children’s beds (and a guest bed, if you have one), labelling each one clearly. You can rotate items in and out of these bins during the year — one holding swimsuits all winter might hold sweaters in summer. If you know that all under-bed space is designated for seasonal items, it will be easier to track down the once-ayear items you’re seeking. Also, see whether any sofas or other large pieces of

Maximize closet space by adding shelves up high if there aren’t any, then keep a small step-ladder in the closet for accessing high items, Luetkemeyer says. Add inexpensive, battery-powered lights to dim closets, and increase shelf space by adding a row of canvas hanging shelves. In a guest room closet, if you have one, Mathison suggests using two rows of hanging canvas shelves — one filled with items your guest may need, such as extra towels and soap, and the other left empty so your guest can put out some of the clothes they brought. Then use the rest of the closet for your seasonal things. It will be clear to the guest what space is theirs

Get hooked “Seasonal things that inspire you should be left out as much as possible,” Flynn says. “I use a ton of wall hooks in my spaces, mostly to be able to hang up favourite pieces of clothing which add decorative flair to a room.” In a bedroom, a cluster of favourite flannel shirts can look great on decorative hooks, and the same goes for winter jackets. In summer, hang your favourite T-shirts or swimsuits on those same hooks while the winter items are put away. This works well in kids’

Luetkemeyer points out that the change of season is a great time to identify items you don’t use and get rid of them. Consider donating sheets or blankets you rarely use to a charity or shelter. Do the same with bulky winter coats and sweaters. You’ll save space for seasonal items, and also embrace the meaning of the holiday season.

Or add a large coffee table/ottoman combination to your living room: “They’re an easy way to sneak a bit more seasonal storage into a room, without having to add extra closet space or add pricey, big-ticket furniture pieces,” says Flynn, founder of the design website decordemon.com. “You can find a ton of storage-ottoman-coffee tables on websites like overstock.com or hayneedle. com.” For families with pets, Flynn suggests creating a sleeping space for a small dog or cat that doubles as seasonal storage. “To do this, I take a flea-market dresser, usually a highboy with four to six drawers, then remove

rooms and nurseries, helping ensure that kids wear their cutest pieces before the season ends and they grow out of them.

Find double-duty furniture

Mathison suggests keeping seasonal things like coats in clear plastic gar ment bags on rolling racks in a basement or attic. They’ll stay clean, and when it’s time to swap them with the opposite season’s items in your main closets, having items grouped in garment bags will make it simpler to transport them quickly back and forth. Rolling garment racks are easy to find and affordable, but it’s important to choose good quality ones so they don’t bend under the weight of winter clothing. Mathison is also a fan of co-ordinated bins or baskets to organize smaller items (gloves, hats, swimsuits, goggles) in closets. It’s easy to move these bins out of your main closet into a basement or attic during the offseason.

decking the halls

Festive tips that won’t break the bank Lisa Evans Postmedia News If all your money is wrapped up in gifts for under the tree, you may need to get creative with your holiday decor. Kelly Nodello, owner of Ottawa’s Fresh Nest Interiors, says creating an inviting holiday home doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune. She recommends setting a festive mood by engaging the five senses. “The eye-catching glimmer of lights, the sound of crackling fire or holiday tunes, the smell of pine, the taste of gingerbread and the texture of velvet and wood gets people in the mood to celebrate,” she says. Playing to the senses is a budgetfriendly way to decorate your home and requires only a little imagination and a lot of holiday spirit.

Colour theme “Pick a common colour or two (red, green, gold, blue or white) and carry that colour throughout your home,” says Nodello. Use coloured ribbon to tie around throw pillows, candle sticks or banisters, or to hang ornaments on a doorknobs. Spray-painted pine cones make great decorations.

Use nature Evergreen branches, twigs, berries and pine cones — nature provides us with beautiful and cheap decor. Stack birch logs beside the fireplace to add a bit of glamour. The white colour of the bark brightens the space and adds an element of modern sophistication.

Postmedia News

Natural elements, specifically pine cones and bark, take centre stage in this earthy arrangement. Swap fresh flowers for twigs and berries or make a stylish candle holder by filling a Mason jar with nuts or cranberries and dress it up by adding a festive ribbon to the rim. Pine cones also make great festive placeholders on the dining room table.

Dust off old decorations Nodello says repositioning existing decorations can help to stretch your small decor budget. “You can easily reinvent or upcycle an item by changing its use or painting it,” says Nodello. An old holiday sweater, for instance, can be used to make a festive candle cosy.

Kelly Nodello

Sweater balls are personal, inexpensive options for dressing up your tree. “Cut a small section of sleeve and wrap it around a glass votive candle.” Complete by wrapping a ribbon around the rim of the glass. Hang an extra stocking with a couple of pine cones or ornaments attached to your front door and recycle an old doormat by spraypainting it with a holiday stencil. Fill summer planters with twigs or evergreen branches and wrap them in white lights to create a welcoming entrance to your home.

An edible display “Food makes for a great budgetfriendly centrepiece,” says Nodello. Tiered dessert trays or decorative fruit bowls chock-full of festive-

coloured fruit such as apples and pears make attractive centrepieces. Group various-sized vases filled with nuts, peppermints and chocolates to tickle your taste buds and add a pop of festive colour.

Cosy up with layers “Decorating for the holidays is a matter of bringing warmth and comfort into the home with colour and texture,” says Nodello. Layering textures and decor is a great way to add dimension to the space and create a cosy atmosphere. Drape a fuzzy blanket over the sofa or armchair and add a plush area rug and soft throw pillows to add warmth.

Layer your dining room table by placing a festive table runner, followed by a budget-friendly centrepiece such as a set of three or five candles of varying heights or glass containers filled with holiday potpourri, then use natural elements at the base such as pine cones and twigs.

Homemade ornaments Create holiday ornaments out of household items. Hang metal cookie cutters with ribbon or wrap redand-white yarn around a foam ball to create sweater balls. Old family photos of your children sitting on Santa’s knee make great inexpensive tree decorations.

Fixtures

Shedding light on bulbs

Convenience. Community. Camaraderie. Comfort.

Karen Turner Postmedia News

Live in residence at the U of S, and you’ll join a close -knit community at the centre of campus life. Meal plans, furnished rooms and fully accessible suites available.

If you’ve shopped for light bulbs recently at your neighbourhood homeimprovement or lighting store, you’ve likely been overwhelmed by the plethora of shapes, sizes and wattages available. From teeny LED bulbs for powering a flashlight to honking outdoor floodlights for lighting up the yard, the choice is as varied as the coffee options at Starbucks. To better understand how the shape of a bulb dictates its purpose and how much light it produces, we shed light on some different styles and their common uses.

Seeing the light With so many light bulbs to choose from, you need to understand the terms on the packaging in order to narrow the options. Watts: Standard units of measure in electricity. As a safety precaution, never exceed the maximum wattage recommended for your light fixture. Lumens: Standard measure of light produced by a bulb. Standard 100watt bulb produces about 1600 lumens. As a general rule, the more lumens, the brighter the light. Life: Estimated number of hours a bulb should last. Incandescent: Bulb with a filament that glows when it’s heated, producing light. Available in a variety of colours with 15 to 150 watts. Fluorescent: Bulbs or tubes filled with mercury vapour that emits ultraviolet light when electricity is applied. A coating inside the bulb/ tube turns the ultraviolet rays into visible light. CFL: Acronym for compact fluorescent light bulb, which is more energy-efficient than conventional incandescent bulbs. It’s also more expensive than incandescent, but uses less wattage and produces more light. Comes in many shapes and sizes. LED: Acronym for light-emitting diode. They are small, very efficient solid bulbs commonly used in electronics, flashlights and Christmas lights. They don’t contain mercury or have filaments so they don’t break easily or get hot. Halogen: Same filament technology as incandescent lights, but halogens are more efficient and produce the brightest, purest light. There are three main types of light to choose from: Soft white: Warm, yellow glow good for living rooms and bedrooms. Bright white: Crisp, bright light ideal for work areas and kitchens. Daylight: Similar to natural daylight. Best for reading. Lowes.com, eartheasy.com, homedepot.com

Typhoon Bopha death toll tops 500 More than 400 people still missing Bullet Marquez The Associated Press NEW BATAAN, Philippines — Rescuers were digging through mud and debris Friday to retrieve more bodies strewn across a farming valley in the southern Philippines by a powerful typhoon. The death toll from the storm has surpassed 500, with more than 400 people missing. More than 310,000 people have lost their homes since typhoon Bopha struck Tuesday and are crowded inside evacuation centres or staying with their relatives, relying on food and emergency supplies being rushed in by government agencies and aid groups. “I want to know how this tragedy happened and how to prevent a repeat,” President Benigno Aquino III said during a visit to New Bataan town, the ground zero of the disaster, where ferocious winds and rains lashed the area. Officials have confirmed 252 dead in Compostela Valley, including New Bataan, and 216 in nearby Davao Oriental province. Nearly 40 others died elsewhere and more than 400 are still missing, about two-thirds in New Bataan alone. Aquino told New Bataan residents gathered in the middle of toppled coconut

Typhoon Bopha hit the Compostela Valley in the southern Philippines on Tuesday in which more than 500 people were killed and another 400 remain missing. trees and roofless houses that he was bent on seeking answers in order to improve their conditions and minimize casualties when natural disasters occur. Fatal storms and typhoons blowing from the Pacific are common in the Philippines, but most of them hit northern and central areas, and southern Mindanao Island is usually spared. “We are going to look at what really happened. There are allegations of illegal min-

ing, there are allegations of the force of nature,” said Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, who travelled with Aquino. “We will find out why there are homes in these geohazard locations.” The economic losses began to emerge Friday after export banana growers reported that 14,000 hectares of export banana plantations, equal to 18 per cent of the total in Mindanao, were destroyed. The Philippines is the world’s third-largest

banana producer and exporter, supplying well-known brands such as Dole, Chiquita and Del Monte mainly to Japan and also to South Korea, China, New Zealand and the Middle East. Stephen Antig, executive director of the Pilipino Banana Growers and Exporters Association, said losses have been conservatively estimated at $300 million. Government geological hazard maps show that the farming town of New Bataan,

population 45,000, was built in 1968 in an area classified as “highly susceptible to flooding and landslides.” Most of the casualties were killed in the valley surrounded by steep hills and crisscrossed by rivers. Flooding was so widespread here that places people thought were safe, including two emergency shelters, became among the deadliest. Poverty is widespread in the Philippines, and the disaster highlights the risks

that some take in living in dangerous areas in the hope of feeding their families. “It’s not only an environmental issue, it’s also a poverty issue,” Environment Secretary Ramon Paje said. “The people would say, ‘We are better off here. At least we have food to eat or money to buy food, even if it is risky.”’ On another part of Mindanao last December, 1,200 people died when a powerful storm overflowed rivers.

Unrest may delay Egyptian vote Royal hoax takes tragic turn with death of nurse

Danica Kirka And Cassandra Vinograd The Associated Press

Matthew Fisher CAIRO — Egypt’s vice-president Mahmoud Mekki floated the possibility late Friday that the Islamist government might postpone a hugely controversial draft referendum that critics have condemned because they believe it gives some powers to unelected Islamic scholars and ignores the rights of women and the country’s Coptic Christian minority. But representatives of the National Salvation Front, which represents eight opposition parties, continued to press President Mohammed Morsi to withdraw a special decree he issued in November that granted him vast powers. For the same reason they also refused to enter into a “dialogue” about the constitution that the president had proposed in a speech on Thursday. The report of a possible 11th-hour concession by the government capped a day of rumours and confusion as Egypt’s seemingly endless revolution edged closer to terrifying territory. Tens of thousands of protesters continued to mass in the dark outside the presidential palace early Saturday. At one point some of them broke through a hastily erected outer concrete barrier and clambered on tanks near the palace walls. As they did so, other protesters continued to throng Tahrir Square to call for Morsi to quit. Earlier in the day, secularists and Islamists clashed in Mahala, a key industrial centre in the Nile Delta, and in Luxor, Alexandria, Kafr El Sheikh and Morsi’s hometown, Zagazig. This followed the overnight ransacking of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Cairo headquarters. The palace was the scene Wednesday of the worst violence since street protests became part of daily life in Cairo nearly two years ago.

Men try to burn a flag outside the Muslim Brotherhood’s Cairo headquarters on Thursday. There are hints the Egyptian government could postpone a referendum because of unrest. Security officials reacted to the deaths of six protesters there by calling on several opposition leaders to answer questions. Islamists and secularists in the most populous Arab country briefly united to overthrow president Hosni Mubarak last year, but have since become implacable foes. One side wants a state that is deeply grounded in Islamic principles, including Shariah law. The secularists seek a nation that is far less rigid. Those opposing views have created a dangerous stalemate where any miscalculation or provocation could have grave consequences. As several marches headed toward Tahrir Square at dusk Friday, an elderly newspaper vendor, Mohammed Abu Amara, watched the passing parade with an avuncular smile that seemed to suggest the protesters had no idea what they were doing. “Their demonstrations make a lot of noise but there aren’t that many of them,” said Amara, who had the raisin-coloured forehead scar of a devout Muslim who touches his forehead down to the ground five times a day in prayer. “I like Morsi because he does not waver.”

At Cairo’s storied Cafe Riche, where intellectuals have discussed politics and hatched conspiracies for more than a century, officials from the opposition parties plotted their next moves and dismissed supporters of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, such as Amara, as ignoramuses.

“Look how many people have come in the streets in the past few days to protest.” Hamer Jabr “Such people only see themselves,” said Hamer Jabr, a lawyer and executive committee member of Al Kamara (the Dignity Party). The party is part of the Salvation Front, which co-ordinates the positions of a hodgepodge of leftists, liberals, Christians and supporters of the disgraced regime of Mubarak, who was deposed last year. “Look how many people have come in the streets in the past few days to protest,” Jabr said. “We are the majority, but the other side does not see it.”

Amara, who was hawki n g n ew s p ap e r s i n t h e street outside the cafe, was equally confident that the Islamists were a majority and that they would win the snap vote on the proposed constitution that Morsi has called for Dec. 15. That was also the reluctant conclusion of Andre Krouwel, the Dutch founder of Vote Compass — an online survey tool that has been used in Canadian elections. “About 70 per cent of the population will vote in favour of the constitution, but a majority of the people who are literate and can think for themselves are against it,” said Krouwel, whose organization has been working with an Egyptian university to prepare polling data designed to find out which parts of the draft constitution were the most problematic for voters. Vote Compass has been tracking a huge shift in public opinion away from Morsi since he issued his decree and quickly followed that declaration by calling a referendum on the constitution that would give Islamic scholars a say, Krouwel said.

LONDON — The news that Prince William and the former Kate Middleton were expecting their first child — joyous news for a couple looking forward to starting a family — immediately turned bittersweet with the simultaneous announcement that the duchess was being hospitalized for acute mor ning sickness. Then there was an invasion of her privacy by two disc jockeys who impersonated Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles to gain information on her condition. By Friday, the sadness turned darkly tragic, with the news that the nurse who unwittingly took the hoax call had died. The royal couple quickly issued a statement expressing their condolences over the death of Jacintha Saldanha, the 46-year-old mother of two duped by the DJs, who had suddenly found herself at the vortex of a global incident. They stressed they had not complained about the hoax call, and indeed offered praise for the staff. The hospital, too, stressed that Saldanha had not been reprimanded. Saldanha was found dead early Friday at apartments affiliated with King Edward VII hospital in central London, where she worked for four years. Police didn’t release a cause of death, but said they didn’t find anything suspicious. A coroner will make a determination on the cause. 2DayFM, the Australian station that performed the prank early Tuesday, said in a statement posted on Facebook and Twitter that the two disc jockeys, Mel Greig and Michael Christian, would not return to the station until further notice. They had apologized for the

Saldanha took the hoax call by the pair, who impersonated Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles to elicit information on the duchess, the hospital said. She later transferred the call to the nurse caring for the duchess, who was admitted to the hospital Monday with acute morning sickness. “Our thoughts and deepest sympathies at this time are with her family and friends,” hospital chief executive John Lofthouse said in a statement. “Everyone is shocked by the loss of a much loved and valued colleague.” St. James’s Palace, the office of the duchess and her husband Prince William, also expressed sadness at the death, but insisted that it had not complained about the hoax. “On the contrary, we offered our full and heartfelt support to the nurses involved and hospital staff at all times,” the palace said in a statement. Saldanha’s family asked for privacy in a statement issued through London police.
