City strikes land deal with UBCO Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The UBC Okanagan campus doubled in size Wednesday with the announcement of an $8.8 million, 256-acre addition to its land base. The new property forms the base of a large endowment land for the campus, following in the tradition of UBC Vancouver’s vast forested expanse, and was purchased from the City of Kelowna. “A hundred years ago, the province endowed land for UBC Vancouver,” said Stephen Toope, UBC president. “…We’re seeing the same vision created here at UBC Okanagan.” Just what the land will be used for has yet to be determined, but securing space is critical to the future growth of any top university, Toope said. Many institutions have found it hard to expand See Deal A8

▼ PEACHLAND MURDER

Facebook messages send out alarming signal Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR

Facebook has become the battleground for a war of words sparked by one teen’s violent death at a Peachland house party last week.

As has become commonplace with the passing of loved ones, a page dedicated to Ashlee Hyatt, 16, was put up on the popular social networking site just hours after her June 2 death. While its intent was to commemorate the young wom-

an, hateful remarks poured in prompting those who created the site to increase security options, reducing public access. That sparked a cycle of sorts. “A number (of sites) have popped up and have been taken down,” said Hugh Gloster, the

superintendant of the Central Okanagan school district, adding that online networking tools are blocked from district computers. “Some went up with genuine attempts to show appropriate sympathy in the aftermath of a tragedy, but some

▼ WEATHER

May rains helpful but drought concerns still persist Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Heavy rains in May have not completely offset 24 months of drought, warns Allan Chapman, head of the province’s river forecast centre for the environment ministry. For instance, even though most of the Central Okanagan’s upland reservoirs are now expected to fill or come very close to filling, groundwater lev-

els have not been recharged yet, and are lower than normal. Dire warnings about drought this summer have been eased somewhat, he said, but the drought is not over yet. Weather in the next few weeks will determine whether Okanagan Lake reaches ‘full pool’ this year. It did not last year. Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist says the effects

of El Nino, a warm current of ocean water from South America that even impacts climate here, are now over, and we are likely now in transition to La Nina, which is the opposite, and tends to cause cooler weather here. Warmer weather this weekend likely won’t be a trend, since La Nina usually gives us temperatures at least a half a degree below normal. He figures there’s a 40 to 50 per cent chance of above-normal precipi-

tation this summer. La Nina also produces a colder than normal winter and likely a wetter one as well. May’s weather resulted in a third more than the normal precipitation in Kelowna, but more than double the norm in Penticton. Chapman said reservoirs that were forecast not to fill this year from melting snow reversed over the past month, and are either full or rising still.

There’s still a metre of snow in the high parts of the Mission Creek watershed, he noted, so snowmelt is two weeks late this year. Snow continued to fall at high elevations through May this year, instead of melting off, he said. Mission Creek is unusually high for this time of year, and Okanagan Lake is still rising notably, he added. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

▼ MARMOT MADNESS

Apparent population explosion of marmots becoming evident

t’s marmot madness these days in the Central Okanagan where it seems the furry little vermin are waging an invasion of our homes, gardens and cars. One phone call to the City of Kelowna last week suggests the city has not had a lot of complaints on the matter, as yet, but I can assure you the onslaught is coming. Here at the Capital News office, for example, virtually everyone has a marmot tale or two. Some even have those marmot tails hanging out from under the hoods of their cars in our parking lot. And one found new employ for the fire department dealing with the matter. Out beyond the confines of my desk mates this week, I found it doesn’t take long to find stories of marmot muckery there either. Nearly everyone I know has had a runin with a marmot this month—some finding them in their bushes, running over them in the ga-

WORDSMITH

Jennifer Smith rage, sliding on the drainpipe, what have you. It sure makes you long for the days of bunny blundering and our great debate over whether to exterminate our cute furry friends or hand the matter over to teams of hooded volunteers to live capture them. At least in those days we could easily establish a road full of bunny babies was odd, whereas this year we’re all sort of just stuck wondering what that landlubbering otter thing perched in our chives is and how on earth we’re supposed to react when he chews through the hose. This is what first caught my attention, actually. Until this year, I’d never seen a marmot, so the first one just looked

like a little sea otter to me. Imagine my surprise when he got up and started walking away. Now, the wildlife expert I spoke with said there is no marmot population explosion on record and to the best of his knowledge they’re skittish creatures you won’t find milling about. But quite frankly, this year’s crop appear brighteyed, bushy tailed, and all but brazen if this really is a normal population size because I’ve certainly never noticed them before. My marmot research turned up one report of the critter walking up to a sliding door and knocking to try and come in. And our photographer called mid-week to report a marmot had been squished in the middle of the bridge, begging the question, was he on his way for a swim? As I was writing this column someone spotted one climbing out from under the big box golf shop next door, as well. But no story beats

that of B.C. Environment Minister Barry Penner who is said to have spent an afternoon hunting marmot in the Empress Hotel this year. I know, we paid for that. So daring are our yellow-bellied marmots from the Interior that apparently one has hitched a ride well past the fire hall and all the way down to the Empress Hotel in Victoria where he’s been living for the past year causing havoc. The Vancouver Island Marmot was nearly extinct a few years back and a strange fundraising campaign, including stuffed marmots riding snowboards for sale in Victoria’s souvenir shops,

This scandalous yellow-bellied critter now threatens the endangered population as, were it to establish a den and set up shop in our capital city, the yellows could start to outnumber the locals and pretty soon extinction would look more like an organized animal murder plot. So Marmotgate, as we’ll call it, has reporters on the Island writing stories about what variety of peanut butter best suits catching a marmot and sketching timelines for the wayward critter’s

return. Roger, as he’s known, has his own Facebook page to muster support for bringing him to the Kootenays, where (for no apparent reason) a whole town of people have decided he belongs to them. Then again, at least he has it better than the poor badger of north Pembrokeshire in Wales. It seems the badger is about to be culled to reduce the incidents of tuberculosis in cattle on the other side of the ocean; unfortunately, there is little to no science proving the badger is the sourse of the problem.

In the meantime, if there’s a political debate over the critters creeping in our backyards on the way, I’m afraid it looks like the domestic rabbit is out and the marmot just might be in. Population explosion or not, if you ask your neighbours whether they’ve seen a marmot, you’ll find it’s more likely they’ve wrestled with one than not. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

▼ MOUNTAIN PINE BEETLE

Pivotal summer ahead for beetle’s life cycle Judie Steeves

could be pivotal in the beetles’ march across the Interior of B.C. says forest ministry entomologist Lorraine MacLauchlan. The massive infestation could actually begin to wane following unfavourable weather conditions for the past couple of years; or it could sweep

STAFF REPORTER

A couple of cooler winters and late springs have slowed down progress of the mountain pine beetle in the Okanagan—but it’s not finished yet. In fact, this summer

into the Okanagan from infested stands all around the valley. Trees that are droughtstressed are particularly vulnerable to attack, and we’ve had two years of drought. However, we’ve had late spring weather the past two years, which has

stalled the first emergence of adult beetles to fly to infest new trees. In addition, MacLauchlan says the cold winter in 2008-09 helped reduce their numbers, as did the sudden plunge in temperatures last fall, even though the winter following was mild.

On the other hand, she comments, “It’s already achieved whatever it wanted.” Few live pines remain in the northern half of the province, and there are more mixed stands of forest in the Okanagan and Kootenays rather than single-species stands of pine.

SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS

KELOWNA urban forestry supervisor Ian Wilson points to damage caused by the pine beetle. Blair Stewart, Kelowna’s urban forest health technician, says there is a lot of red and dead pines appearing in the Lake Country and Carr’s Landing areas, so the beetle will be moving into Kelowna from that side as well as from the northeast and the west. He says he’s seen less green attack from last year’s spread of beetles too, and says there were fewer trees that had to be removed from public land because they were infested with beetles, this past winter. However, he’s also concerned that this could be the year of the worst infestation too. Homeowners with infested pines on their property should remove them before the adult beetles emerge from under the bark to fly to new host trees, in order to help stop their spread. For those wishing to try and protect their trees, he suggests they purchase verbenone pouches to attach to pines. Verbenone sends out a signal to pine beetles that this tree is already overpopulated with beetles, so they will move on rather than attack the tree. “It fools the beetles into thinking that your trees are already infested,” explained Don Fowler, a forestry consultant. Since the beetles only have a limited supply of energy, “the longer they spend looking for a new host, the higher the flight mortality will be,” he ex-

plained. To determine whether you have newly-infested trees look for pitch tubes on the trunk, where the tree has tried to “pitch out” the adult beetles attacking it with gobs of pitch. Also look for fine sawdust where the beetles have burrowed under the bark to lay eggs in galleries in the phloem layer. When they hatch, in about 10 days, the larvae begin to feed, strangling the flow of water and nutrients up the tree. Stewart notes that there are other insect pests attacking local trees, including the western pine beetle, which only attacks ponderosa pines, which are found in the lower parts of the valley. Tops in the news right now is the Douglas fir tussock moth, but the spruce budworm is attacking firs as well as spruce in the valley too. Then there’s the Douglas fir beetle, scale and tent caterpillars, which defoliate deciduous trees. It’s not a good time to be a tree. In some cases, it’s man’s intervention that has played a part. For instance, Stewart points out that the Interior’s pines begin their decline at 80 to 100 years of age, and by controlling the natural fires that would have renewed forests traditionally, we have forests of over-age trees, which are more stressed and susceptible to attack. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Accident claims womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life Road check turns dangerous Roger Knox CONTRIBUTOR

B.C. Ministry of Transportation officials will review a Highway 97 intersection following a fatal accident Monday. Kim Amber Todd, 36, from Kelowna, was killed shortly after 5 p.m. when her vehicle was struck at Bailey Road by a southbound minivan as she tried to pull out onto the highway. There were four

people in the minivan, all from the Kelowna area. Two were taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital, treated for their injuries and released. The other two were not injured. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We review all accident locations and incidents when they occur,â&#x20AC;? said Murray Tekano, Kelowna-based district manager for the ministry of transportation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to look at the incident, in this case the fatality that occurred

there, and determine what might be the best of any remedies that we could put to that intersection.â&#x20AC;? Tekano said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aware of two â&#x20AC;&#x153;significantâ&#x20AC;? incidents at the intersection in the last 18 months, and concedes that a number of minor incidents in that locale have been reported to police. Vernon RCMP report since 2005 there have been 73 accidents theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve attended at that intersection. No decision has been

made as to what, if any, remedy would be made to make things safer at the intersection. Tekano said installing a traffic signal is very unlikely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The volumes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t warrant that kind of treatment there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I doubt traffic signals would be warranted.â&#x20AC;? Vernon RCMP are still investigating Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accident. Any witnesses are asked to call 250-5457171.

Osteoporosis Clinic

A Kelowna RCMP officer was nearly run down by an impaired driver who flew through an impaired driving road check in the early morning hours of Wednesday. RCMP, in partnership with ICBC, had set up what they refer to as a civilian traffic impaired driving survey in the 3000 block of Lakeshore Road on June 10. At around 2:30 a.m., a grey 2003 Audi sedan approached the survey check stop at a high rate of speed and did not stop. A police officer was nearly run down and had to jump out of the way to avoid being struck as the speeding vehicle passed. Police yelled at the driver to stop but

the vehicle sped on. Police caught up to the vehicle and pulled it over a few blocks further down Lakeshore. The 40-year-old driver was placed under arrest for dangerous driving. The man would not comply with police instruction to exit the vehicle. Eventually, the driver had to be removed from the vehicle and he resisted the officers during his removal. The Kelowna resident was investigated for impaired driving and provided samples of breath that were in excess of twice the legal limit. He was released on a promise to appear in court in August, and will face charges of driving while impaired, over .08, dangerous driving and resisting arrest.

▼ CANADA DAY CONCERT

IAN

Music event needs funding help The Kelowna Canada Day Concerts Society is up against the ropes. Every year, the society seeks out the necessary funds to host the annual Canada Day Spectacular concert in Prospera Place on July 1. This year, the difficulty of being able to guarantee receiving the necessary funding has put the society in a difficult situation. “Basically, we are at least $10,000 short in the monies we need to put on the concert. Nine thousand dollars of that would have come from Direct Access in past years,” said Heather Yeats, a society board director. “We have no word of how much they will be granting us—if anything. The final date for letting applicants know what their grant is to be is August 31. For us, that is way

too late.” Yeats said local businesses have been generous in their support of the Canada Day concert in the past, and that generosity will have to be called upon again in order for the concert to proceed. “No other city boasts a free live concert of this type (on Canada Day),” Yeats added. “If by the end of this week, we are still too short of funds, we will be forced, reluctantly, to canQUADLANDER 600

Has Gout Affected You? Gout is an extremely painful condition that can effect people of all races and ages. It can effect both men and women but it is more common in men. It is uncommon in children and young adults. Gout used to be considered a problem for the rich, kings, gentry, and others who ate too much and drank too much wine. Some people have a genetic predisposition due to a disorder of purine metabolism. In these individuals attacks of gout can be triggered by eating foods high in purines and by consuming high quantities of alcohol. Others can have secondary gout. Secondary gout is associated with another medical condition such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, certain medications, particularly diuretics (water pills), salicylates (aspirin), and niacin. Gout is caused by a build up of uric acid in the blood which settlles out as uric acid crystals in the joints. This causes pain, redness, and swelling. Any joint can be involved. Classic signs of gout are pain, redness, and swelling in the big toe or elbow. The pain can be both chronic or can present suddenly. A number of therapies are available. Some more successful than others. SciMed Research is starting a research trial to evaluate a new investigational therapy to lower uric acid, the cause of gout. If you have been diagnosed with or suffer from gout symptoms you may qualify to participate in this research trial. Please call SciMed Research to register for a no cost obligation consultation to see if you are an appropriate candidate for this gout study.

Historic community hall may be lost Judie Steeves

Preservation of our built heritage is within the mandate of the COHS, and the building is on the national heritage register, noted Knox. The heritage society would be willing to take it over and add it to the historic facilities it now rents, such as the Benvoulin Heritage Park and Guisachan, but the society doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to do the needed renovations. Knox feels the city would be willing to help out with some of that if there was grassroots interest from the community in preserving the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The building is sound and it is a good size and layout for rentals for functions,â&#x20AC;? he noted. Last year, a business model for preservation of the building was completed for the COHS by a student, and it concluded that the ideal solution would be for the COHS to own the property, but for other sectors of the community to pitch in to help complete the renovations which would make it a desirable rental facility again. It recommended turning the back part of the property into a heritage garden with a gazebo where outdoor weddings could be performed. That report estimated

STAFF REPORTER

Generations of Kelowna residents have memories of harvest fairs, weddings and other special occasions at the historic East Kelowna Hall. But, its role as a gathering place for the whole community may be at an end Monday unless people step forward and show some interest in keeping it as a public facility. The last three members of the East Kelowna Hall Association are holding a final meeting Monday night at which they say they intend to resign, leaving the building and its acre or so of property at McCulloch Road and East Kelowna Road, in limbo. Don Knox, president of the Central Okanagan Heritage Society, feels it would be very sad for this property to go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a part of our history,â&#x20AC;? he commented. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still used for weddings, sports practices, Girl Guides of Canada meetings, dog training, community functions and dog training, he notes. However, it needs a new roof, a coat of paint and renovations to the kitchen and bathrooms to make it a more attractive rental facility.

A PART OF Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history could vanish if people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t step forward by Monday to help preserve the landmark East Kelowna Hall. Long-time Kelowna residents Don Knox (left), president of the Central Okanagan Heritage Society, and Janice Henry, executive director, feel it would be a real shame if the property is let go. repairs would cost in the area of $414,630, including a new roof and siding and interior work. The building and property were valued at $440,173 in 2008 according to the report. Knox is confident some grant money would be available to help with the work, but everything hinges on residents being interested in preserving the facility. The East Kelowna Hall Association was registered Nov. 20, 1934 and memberships at the time cost 50 cents, according to Knox. Construction of the

hall was completed in 1940, on land which was donated for that use. COHS executive-director Janice Henry figures there is great potential with the hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be a waste and a shame if it was left,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The public is urged to attend Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, 7 p.m., at the hall. If you have questions, ideas, or are willing to donate services or cash to help restore the building, call Don Knox at 250-7642498.

Kelowna youngster to lead fundraiser walk Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

When Pam Prentice’s son Jacob was diagnosed with type-1 diabetes at 20 months old, she admits she and her husband knew little about the disease. “It was all new to us at the time,” she says. “(Jacob) got sick and that was the diagnosis we were given.” But over the last 11 1/2 years, Prentice and her family—she has two other children who do not have diabetes—have learned much more about type-1, which now affects an estimated 300,000 Canadians, many of them chil-

dren. “It’s a balancing act. You are constantly carbohydrate counting,” she says of the daily monitoring that must be done of her son’s food intake. Because diabetes affects the amount of insulin produced by the body and insulin affects the blood sugar level, what a person with diabetes eats, and how much they eat, has to be constantly monitored. And daily doses of insulin have to be given. Jacob, who is now 13, leads the typical life of a young boy. He goes to school, plays soccer, hangs out with his friends. But there are times, when his blood sugar levels drop and he has to watch from the sidelines. Despite that, Pam Prentice says her family is just like any other. “Our family life feels normal

because this is what normal is for us,” she says. Prentice is proud her son has been named Kelowna’s youth ambassador for the annual Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Walk To Cure Diabetes this year in Kelowna. The walk goes Sunday at Mission Creek Park, starting at 10:30 a.m. Prior to the walk, pledge forms can be dropped off at the park’s main entrance at Springfield Road and Durnin Road, 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The local walk will be one of many held across the country Sunday, with as many as 45,000 participants. Last year, the local walk drew 650 people (750 are expected this year) and since 2005, the Kelowna event has raised $810,000 for diabetes re-

search. Last year across Canada, all the walks together raised a total of $7.4 million. In his role as ambassador, Jacob has been out talking to businesses, clubs and individuals, explaining what diabetes is, how it has affected his life and helping raise money and support for diabetes research. Unlike the much more common type-2 diabetes, which can be prevented and controlled with medication as well as diet modification and exercise, type-1 diabetes is a non-preventable, autoimmune disease that attacks the body by curtailing the amount of insulin produced. While people with type-1 diabetes require daily shots of insulin, some, like Jacob, get it through a special pump.

Prentice said while her son leads what appears to most as a normal young boy’s life, there are times when the disease does stop him from participating. If his blood sugar level drops, he runs the risk of damage to his heart so he has to be careful. “I remember once, when Jacob was much younger, we were up on the Kettle Valley Railway and I did not have enough juice with me.” With nowhere to buy more, Prentice recalls having to “mooch” food from little kids. “That sort of thing only happens once and you learn. Always be prepared,” said Prentice. For more information about juvenile diabetes and the annual walk, go to www.jdrf.ca/walk. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

‘If this took place in the school yard, you don’t hear about it…’ Signal from A1 propriate way to express feelings, and stir up emotions.” The depth of efforts to stir up negativity is shocking to many of those who have seen the site. Manipulated photos re-enacting the murder with a cartoonish twist are commonplace on the most recent webpage to appear, as is commentary on the dead teenager’s behaviour. While the content of the images and words are unsettling, there are dozens if not hundreds of user comments that follow each entry. There, fights between those who knew the teen or have nothing better to do continue on for pages. And Gloster is correct about the far-reaching impact of the site. The Facebook page reached the home of a family in Rocky Mountain House, Alta., prompting one man to call the Capital News to complain. “Something has gone wrong with the people who live there,” said Ryan Hutton, who add-

ed he stumbled on the site through a third party and has since reported it to police. “High school students were mean when I was young, but this takes it to a whole new level. I’m disgusted by what these high school kids have to say.” According to someone posting by the name of Catherine Payne, one site was set up as a redherring, of sorts. While she flames dissent through her comments, she told one infuriated reader that its intent is to draw attention away from the accused. “I’m not mad because

(the accused) is going behind bars. Even more, I’m not mad at all, I’m just disappointed for what she did,” the entry reads. “The time can’t be turned back and Ashlee won’t come back, but I at least can take the heat off (the accused) family. Before this group came online they got threatened for the actions of (the accused) With the launch of the group, people found a new person to hate on: me and others.” Regardless of the intent, social networking has loomed large since the Peachland party that ended in tragedy.

During the accused’s bail hearing this week, a ban on her using social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter was imposed in addition to an order of 24-hour house arrest. That said, Facebook memorial pages are becoming more common and are usually helpful, said UBC professor Michael Woodworth. Specializing in psychopathy, criminal behaviour and how they tie into the web, Woodworth said negative outpourings of any sort

are atypical. Through his own research, and more being conducted by colleagues at Cornell University, Woodworth sais the vast majority of comments on memorial sites as positive and uplifting. “A site having the level of atrocious stuff that’s being put on there and done, is not the norm.” Another UBC professor, Alfred Hermida, believes that what we see on Facebook pages, and the like, is merely an imprint of what’s happening on the schoolyard.

“If this took place in the school yard, you don’t hear about it happening unless one of the students involved told a teacher,”

Laser treatment makes fibromyalgia inroads S ome exciting data was presented at the most recent American College of Sports Medicine’s annu-

al meeting that may give hope to fibromyalgia sufferers. They found that application of an infrared la-

ser to fibromyalgia trigger points increases a patient’s upper extremity range of motion considerably.

City in Action

Kirsten Williams, with the College of Human Sciences in Tallahassee, Fla., studied the impact of infrared laser application and function in women diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The sample of her study included 39 women with an approximate average age of 50 years. Half of the recipients of the study received eight minutes of infrared laser therapy, while the other half received heat therapy to a specific spot located across the back, shoulders and low back. Her findings indicated a significant improvement in the range of motion and upper body flexibility of the patients who received the infrared laser therapy. In addition, the time between severe bouts of pain was significantly less in the group that received the laser vs. the sham treatments in the placebo. Another study published by Dr. Gur, with

City Council conﬁrmed its support for a plan to add more boat slips at the Kelowna Yacht Club and directed staﬀ to proceed with the required regulatory approvals and documents. Council heard the process will begin this year with the addition of 62 new slips.

Downtown Development Plan

Council voted in favour of rescinding ﬁrst reading of the comprehensive development zone plan and instructed staﬀ to begin work on amending the existing downtown plan. The CD 21 proposal’s principals will be considered in reviewing the downtown plan.

Mountain Bike Park Agreement

The new Mission Creek Mountain Bike Skills Park will be operated and maintained by a group that has invested a lot of time and eﬀort into the facility. City Council approved a one-year service agreement with the Mountain Bikers of the Central Okanagan Club to keep the park safe and oversee operations, including rider training programs, safety inspections, program promotion and special events.

Public Art Project

Funding of a public art project for the new Willowbridge supportive housing on Boyce Crescent was approved by Council. The multi-media project will be overseen by the Canadian Mental Health Association and local artists and is expected to be completed by the opening of the aﬀordable housing project. kelowna.ca/council

ing “our study suggests that laser therapy is effective on pain, muscle spasm, morning stiffness and suggests that this therapy method is a safe and effective way of treatment in the cases of fibromyalgia.” In fact, there is much research on the matter of low intensity laser therapy in the great majority of all musculoskeletal complaints ranging from osteoarthritis to tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, neuropathies and rotator cuff injuries, etc. The premise of this therapy is simple and deals with light-cell interactions. Essentially, specific wavelengths of light will have a direct effect on those cells that are made specifically to heal an injury. It increases the synthesis of healthy tissue while removing unwanted waste, scar tissue, inflammation.

SIFE reflects college’s mission to help transform lives O

ur education is what remains after we have forgotten what we learned in school. That’s what Paige Schoenfeld told her fellow business graduates last weekend at Okanagan College’s 2010 Convocation—and I happen to agree with her. So if you agree with Paige and I, what are those remnants of education made up of? If you take away the formulas, essays, projects

and exams; if you wipe clean the slate of what is learned in the classroom, is there anything left? For the 2010 graduates of Okanagan College’s School of Business, especially those who participated in Students in Free Enterprise, the experiences they’ve had, the lives they’ve impacted and the relationships they’ve built amount to more than most could expect to gain out of four years of post-secondary. I know this to be true

because I’ve been fortunate to support SIFE Okanagan over the past few years. In my role in public affairs at the college, I provide assistance with media relations, promotion and sometimes, just advice. I also get to share and communicate the news of their success with our staff, students and the general public—and there’s been no shortage of good news for SIFE Okanagan this year.

For anyone who doesn’t know what SIFE is or what it does, it is an international not-for-profit organization made up of a network of post-secondary students, academic professionals and industry leaders who put their skills and knowledge to work to create a better, more sustainable world through the positive power of business. SIFE Okanagan is the local chapter of the organization and it’s run through Okanagan College’s School of Business. This year about 60 students from Okanagan College participated in SIFE. The team won the regional business competition for their presentations about community projects and partnerships they developed this year. Some of those projects included working with the Chamber of Commerce to initiate the Green Business Awards. Others saw the group teach financial literacy skills to underprivileged youth. Still other projects teamed SIFE Okana-

SCHOOL’S IN

Christine Ulmer gan with budding entrepreneurs and students at Glenmore Elementary. After winning the regional competition the team went on to compete for national honours and they did so impressively. In fact, they cleaned up. SIFE Okanagan was recognized as Canada’s best performing team in the Green Challenge. They finished second in the country in Financial Literacy and won the Campbell’s Soup Can Hunger Challenge—collecting more than 36,000 pounds of food for local Food Banks. Outside of the SIFE competition they won the Mayor’s award for Most Environmentally Dedicated Group and just last week Mayor Shepherd awarded SIFE Okanagan with the Spirit of Kelowna.

So where is the education in all of this success? The students earned their trophies and accolades based on their team’s presentations in front of a panel of CEO’s and industry professionals. They demonstrated their knowledge, poise, and teamwork as they showcased their projects. Their education (that’s capital E education) developed as they carried out their projects. The real learning was achieved when they put their classroom knowledge to the test—in the real world—on real people. I also think they learned a great deal from the obstacles they didn’t overcome. At the national competition I witnessed the Green Team’s leader erupt in tears of joy and relief after delivering a near perfect presentation to the judges. Just hours later the students’ collective optimism was shattered when their team’s name was absent from the list of finalists in the national challenge.

Not only did the team give their former rivals a standing ovation as they took the stage in the very spot SIFE Okanagan had prepared for all year, I didn’t hear them utter a single negative word after countless professors and judges told them they had been robbed of a spot in the finals. At Convocation last weekend, I watched these students turn into graduates. I watched them hug their professors—people they’ll now call friends and colleagues. I know their education will remain and it’s true, they will probably forget a lot of what they were taught in class. But what they will remember are the people who they helped and those who helped them; the elementary students they mentored and the instructors who sat with them long after class was over. What I will remember about this group of graduating SIFE students is how they demonstrated Okanagan College’s mission of transforming lives and communities.

Moving forward with balanced copyright infringement legislation

n June 2, federal Canadian Heritage Minister James Moore and Industry Minister Tony Clement presented legislation that will modernize the Copyright Act. This follows an eightweek online and in-person public consultation process held in the summer of 2009. If you get the chance to review the legislation, I think you will find it balanced and fair. It addresses the challenges faced by copyright owners and creators and legitimizes many everyday activities of Canadian consumers in the digital age. The federal government recognizes that everyday consumer behaviours such as taking advantage of TV time shifting or posting videos on social media are regular parts of the lives of many Canadians and should be legitimized under the law. In response to demands for stronger consumer provisions, this legislation extends fair dealing to new purposes, introduces new exceptions for education, and allows innovative businesses to continue developing the technology of tomorrow. This bill contains

Ron Cannan strong measures that will help creators and other copyright owners ensure that they are fairly compensated for the use of their work. The legislation is technology-neutral, making it flexible and adaptable to change while ensuring appropriate protections for both creators and users. For instance, Bill C-32 recognizes the incredible potential that technology offers education. New exceptions and extension of fair dealing to education will open the door for digital learning, enabling students in rural and remote communities to access the same lessons as those in metropolitan cities. Many would have preferred that the Bill just throw the door wide open but it will still allow the use of Technological Protection Measures (TPM/ DRM/digital locks) where industry chooses to

use them. This is mainly because TPMs remain an important tool for creators and copyright owners to protect their work. While certain businesses have chosen not to use TPMs, there are some business models that rely on digital locks to protect their investments. These industries need to have the protection of the law. Software producers, video game and movie distributors, for example, continue to use TPMs as part of their business model because they wish to protect the significant investment each makes in developing the products. Canadian jobs depend on their ability to make a return on this investment. It is important to note however that legal protections under Bill C-32 are not unlimited as they are in the United States. In Canada we will have liability limits. No company will be able to sue a soccer mum for millions of dollars. Software companies will be allowed to circumvent TPMs for the purpose of undertaking encryption research and likewise, consumers, within the bounds of their contract, will be able to circumvent TPMs to switch their wireless service provider.

The bill also provides a regulation-making power to allow the circumvention of TPMs in certain cases, for example, where the presence of a TPM would unduly restrict competition in an after-m ector. Ultimately, the success of TPMs will depend on market forces. Creators may decide whether or not to use a TPM, and consumers can then decide whether or not to buy the product. I have heard from a few constituents on the issue already. Both Moore and Clement have indicated that they are open to Bill C-32 being amended in the committee process. So on your behalf, I will present your suggestions to them. Your wisdom and common sense will be helpful in making the Bill the best it can be. ••• Speaking of wisdom, I had a few good chats with some fine folks while I was back in the riding last weekend. I spoke with our retired and still very wise former Kelowna fire chief Gerry Zimmermann. It’s great to see him back on his feet, happy and healthy once again. I also attended the quarterly meeting with our MLAs, mayor and Chamber of Commerce which is always useful and ensures that all levels of government that represent you are working together on the priorities of the community. If any of you have any questions or comments on this proposed legislation, or any other federally-related matter, I encourage you to contact me by email at ron@cannan.ca or by phone my constituency office at 250-4705075. Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country.

CONTRIBUTOR

The Studebaker factory went silent in 1964. Yet for 40 years the Okanagan has been home to a Studebaker club that loves and cherishes the manufacturer’s cars and trucks. The Studebaker Club is one of many vintage and classic car clubs in the valley. People who love their cars have created shows

The chapter still has original members, some of whom are 80 years plus in this world. “Many of us raised our children and grandchildren in a Studebaker,” says Fletcher. Every summer Studebaker members travel from their homes in Sorrento, Summerland, 108 Mile House and beyond to classic car shows.

The shows can focus solely on Studebakers or accept cars from every make and model. Some shows are private, but the public is more than welcome at many of the car shows.

MacDonald set for Condit in UFC bout Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Rory MacDonald’s calm and cool demeanor on the street belies his intense and ferocious nature inside the ring. It explains a lot about why the 20-year-old from Kelowna is one of the most promising young prospects in the world of mixed martial arts. “On the outside Rory is mild-mannered, polite and unassuming,” said David Lea, the owner of Toshido Martial Arts and MacDonald’s teacher and mentor. “Inside he’s a shark, he’s a predator… he’s definitely the predator, not the prey. “He’s the youngest guy on the UFC circuit right now. And he’s on the way up.” Lea will soon find out if his protege is ready to take that next step up the UFC ladder. On Saturday night inside GM Place in Vancouver, MacDonald will step

into the Octagon at UFC 115 against Carlos Condit in a welterweight clash. Condit is a battle-tested veteran with a 24-5 record. MacDonald, 10-0 as a pro, has yet to allow a bout to go to a judge’s decision, winning by either knockout or submission. In his UFC debut in January, MacDonald took down 10-year vet Mike Guymon in the first round. With a sold-out crowd of more than 20,000 and a pay-per-view audience looking on, Saturday’s fight in his home province will mark the most important moment of MacDonald’s career to date. But The Water Boy, as he’s nicknamed, is keeping all the bright lights and hoopla in perspective. “I’ve studied other fighters careers and I’ve seen a lot of them lose their heads to the hype and fame,” MacDonald said. “I’ve looked at their successes and their downfalls and I’ve tried to learn

You learn from people’s mistakes and the good things they do, too. I want to keep a level head and have a good long career.” It was a career started when MacDonald first

Falcons host Walla Walla With a five-game season-opening road trip already in the books, the Kelowna Falcons are looking forward to settling into the friendly confines of Elks Stadium. The Falcons play their West Coast League home opener tonight (Friday) against the Walla Walla Sweets. Game time under the new lights is 7:05 p.m. In keeping with the tradition of home openers in Kelowna, the Falcons are offering free admission to the game. Kelowna heads into the weekend with a 2-3 record after opening week stops in Bellingham against the Bells and in Moses Lake vs the Pirates. On Wednesday night, the Pirates downed the Falcons 4-2. Kevin Frady is back for his third year as Falcons head coach and has an entire-

ly new roster—featuring predominantly NCAA Div. 1 players—to work with this summer. The hottest Falcon at the plate in the early going is Cody Atkinson from Centenary College who is batting .467. Southern Utah’s Bo Cuthbertson leads in RBIs with four. On the pitching staff, Sacramento State’s Brandon Creel has seven strikeouts and has yet to allow a run in 4 2/3 innings of work. The Falcons will take on Walla Walla again Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 6 p.m. On Monday, the Falcons will open a three-game series at Elks against the Kitsap Bluejackets. For the Falcons schedule and roster, visit www.kelownafalcons.com.

walked into Lea’s Kelowna-based Toshido MMA gym in 2004. Two years later, at 16, he had his first pro bout and there was little question in Lea’s mind that MacDonald had what it

took to thrive in the MMA world. “I knew back then he was something special,” said Lea. “He was the first person to arrive and the last one to leave. He used to annoy the crap out

of me,” Lea added with a laugh. “You love guys that have that kind of intensity and interest. He’s very focused on things he’s interested in, almost obsessive. That’s why he’s as good as he is.” Still, Lea said MacDonald’s ability to remain grounded and deflect pressure will have as much to do with his success as raw skill and obsession. “Nobody around here is going to turn Rory into a prophet,” said Lea. “We’re training with him, trying to punch him in the face and likewise he’s trying to do the same to us. “We don’t talk about the fame or fortune or anything like that,” he said. “It’s about the sport and we’re respectful of that. Rory doesn’t care or worry about all of that other stuff. He just loves to be in the ring.” For MacDonald’s part, Saturday night’s bout vs Carlos Condit represents another key step in his evolution as a MMA

fighter. And it’s abundantly clear there’s no dream or goal he’d rather be pursuing. “It’s sort of been a progression to this point and I feel like I’m ready for this,” he said. “This is exactly what I want, it didn’t come out of left field, I’ve wanted this since the day I started training. As long as I have a passion for it, I want to keep fighting.” On the subject of the bout itself, David Lea expects fans will get their money’s worth. “Carlos is a very capable opponent, he’s beaten some top guys…I think it could be the fight of the year,” he said. “I hope I can watch it and enjoy it without getting stressed, but I doubt that very much.” To view a promotional training video featuring Rory MacDonald as he prepares for UFC 115, visit www.soldiersofthebottle.com. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Liberal-NDP coalition talk premature

alk about a coalition between the Liberals and NDP in Ottawa has the national media salivating, but there seems to be much more speculation than real facts to report. There are two major problems with the suggestion of a coalition. One is leadership, and the other is brand loyalty. The Liberals have Michael Ignatieff as their leader. He has said a lot of soothing things, particularly when he gets out of Ottawa, but he hasn’t done

much of substance since taking over as leader in late 2008, after a proposed coalition of the Liberals and NDP, aided and abetted by the Bloc Quebecois, dissolved amidst national fury. To be fair to him, he inherited a squabbling caucus and national organization, and the Liberals are having a great deal of trouble articulating a solid policy platfofrm. The NDP leader is Jack Layton, who consistently rates high in national polls as a trustworthy leader. He too inherited some

250-763-3212

significant problems when he took over as NDP leader, but he has dealt with most of them effectively. Whether he has the skills to actually wield power effectively remains to be seen. In the leadership arena, Layton would likely be a stronger candidate than Ignatieff. But the Liberals are unlikely to surrender leadership of a coalition, as long as they have the vast majority of the seats. Then there’s brand loyalty. Liberals consider themselves the “National Governing Party,”

and while their voter base has been shrinking steadily in the past few elections, it is still formidable in many places, particularly urban centres. The NDP also has strong brand loyalty and its supporters are likely more committed to and protective of their brand than the Liberals are. At this point in time, neither potential partner is willing to give up very much to attain power. As long as that is the case, a coalition will never be formed.

B.C. Liberals ram through Clean Energy Act with little protest

he final battle in the B.C. legislature’s spring sitting was over the Clean Energy Act. The B.C. Liberals used their majority to ram it through without clause-by-clause debate or votes. This deprived a lone B.C. Liberal backbencher of his own symbolic protest. Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad had planned to vote against two sections that formalize a ban on nuclear plants and additional big hydro dams beyond Site C on the Peace River. The Clean Energy Act reshapes

the province’s power grid to expand via independent energy projects—wind, solar, biomass and above all, run-of-river hydro. Like the previous liTom censing of private liFletcher quor stores, it’s a classic ideological move to dilute a union-heavy government monopoly with private competition. The liquor analogy is useful here. As with the lucrative wholesaling of booze, the government giant BC Hydro still controls the electricity trade. Premier Gordon Campbell has instructed BC Hydro to build

VICTORIA VIEWS

and operate the Site C dam in order to expand the utility’s capacity to buy and sell intermittent private power. The NDP’s line is similar to its unionbacked protest against private liquor retailing. B.C. Liberal buddies magically obtain key roles in the emerging industry, which then donates big money to the ruling party as it carves out a lucrative new market by legislation. There’s something to be said for this. For instance, former ICBC czar Paul Taylor just pulled the ripcord on a $665,000 golden parachute, bailing out as CEO of Naikun Wind after only two years. Naikun’s proposed wind farm in the ocean off Haida Gwaii is one of the bigger projects designed to benefit from the new Act.

Just as a case of beer tends to cost more in a private store, the NDP argues that private power is larded with profit. Energy Minister Blair Lekstrom counters that all new power sources will cost more. The NDP’s strongest argument on cost is that BC Hydro can borrow money more cheaply than any private company. The party’s two ablest critics, Bruce Ralston and John Horgan, produced a breakdown that shows the utility can issue long-term debt at 4.6 per cent, while private companies are borrowing at 10 to 12 per cent. You’ll pay the difference on your power bill, unless Campbell’s gamble pays off and Hydro makes a premium selling low-carbon power to Alberta,

Saskatchewan and California. The NDP attack has mainly focused on the sharp reduction in the role of the B.C. Utilities Commission. The Clean Energy Act dictates that the independent commission won’t review any of BC Hydro’s inhouse projects: Site C, a billion-dollar “smart meter” program, and the expansion of the Revelstoke and Mica dams to their design capacity. This is a sensible efficiency move in my view. But the legislation also blocks the commission from reviewing all these private power contracts to see if they are in the public interest. Here’s one place I’d like to see the big players cross-examined on a witness stand. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS

▼ DISREGARD FOR LIFE

No peace for humanity if there is no compassion for fellow living beings To the editor: On Saturday June 5, I was driving down Ethel Street with my daughter at around 4 p.m. There was very little traffic and as we drove along we saw a mother duck and her babies crossing the road. They were more than halfway across the oncoming lane, and we stopped to wait for them to cross our lane.

A woman was driving toward us in that opposite lane. She saw the ducks and just kept on driving. She ran right over them without so much as braking. She had time to stop and there was no reason she couldn’t do so, because there were no cars behind her at all. She looked in front of her, saw the ducks and decided

their lives were not even worth a shift of her foot from one pedal to another. She looked at me as she drove past and there was anger there. The level of anger in people in general seems to be rising and this, in itself, is a scary thing. To that woman, please know that I was as horrified as my 12-year-old daughter was to see your

cruel disregard for those living creatures. It was so completely unnecessary. I understand there are times when it may be impossible to miss an animal that ends up in the path of your vehicle, but this was certainly not one of those times. An older fellow on a bike also saw what happened and stopped to look at the aftermath and he

was as mortified as we were. Such callous disregard and lack of human kindness is always upsetting to witness. I would like to share this quote by Dr. Albert Schweitzer: “Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.” Trena Phillips, Kelowna

To the editor: Thank you, in the Capital News Sunday, May 30, for the Seniors’ Concerns column by Sharen Marteny, raising the attention to a previous column about electric scooters, providing me this opportunity to make the following comments now. Initially, it is pointed out that in addition to seniors there are younger handicapped individuals using scooters. Sidewalks are for pedestrians. On a sidewalk the pedestrians should have priority and be given the right of way.

An infant stroller is motivated by a pedestrian, hopefully, and must use the sidewalk, the same with a walker. Operation of a wheelchair is determined by the driver. A scooter is not a pedestrian, but a wheeled transportation conveyance, as is a bicycle. The apparently most suitable and safest place for all concerned, under the circumstances, for scooter travel, is on bicycle paths, where they are available. But bicycle paths are part of the motor vehicle roadway.

Anyone using the motor vehicle roadway must be familiar with and abide by the rules of the road and be a safe driver. A safe driver is constantly alert. At intersections special caution must be demonstrated by all. Yes, I use a scooter and can be recognized by my front and back reflective vest, marked scooter and my veteran’s cap. In most cases, depending on circumstances, I will stop at an intersection and wave a vehicle through. Why waste gas waiting for a scooter? Paul J. Tomelin, Kelowna

"Raising standards in motorcoach touring"

Cyclists put their lives in the hands of motorists To the editor: Another member of the local triathlon community was injured in a motor vehicle collision— an event that seems to happen with disturbing frequency in Kelowna. The triathlon community is a close-knit community and word of such events spreads quickly. In this case, the collision was a hit-and-run, where the driver fled the scene with absolute callous disregard for human life. How could this cowardly, selfish, despicable person not have noticed the carnage they caused with the force of the impact? Did they have something to hide— drugs, weapons, stolen goods, driving while disqualified or intoxicated? Ignorance is no excuse—failure to stop at the scene of an accident is a criminal code offense that could result in a prison term of up to five years, and life in the case of the person knowing the other person involved in the accident is dead or injured. Sharon Lonergan was a very cautious cyclist— as are most triathletes— triathletes are taught not to ride abreast or in close formation both during training and in a race—an act

that automatically results in a penalty or disqualification for drafting—unlike bicycle racers who ride in close formation during races. These kind of events are a constant reminder to cycling enthusiasts—just last month three triathletes were killed in Quebec after being struck by a pickup truck. It doesn’t matter how careful you are—as soon as you hit the road you put your life in someone else’s hands. For a cyclist, a collision with a motor vehicle could be a life changing event resulting from someone’s negligence or stupidity. I’ve seen it all too often—a cyclist was struck by a drunk driver at the same corner a couple of years ago requiring several surgeries. In another case a cyclist was mowed down on Glenmore Road requiring several major surgeries. In another case a cyclist was mowed down and killed on Old Vernon Road. And in another a young woman was struck by a drunk driver whose blood alcohol level was over four times the legal limit—at 7:30 a.m. Unfortunately, for some of these people was the added hassle of deal-

ing with ICBC—especially in light of the fact that technically in the commission of a criminal offense—insurance is null and void. In provinces that have private insurance it is between the accident victim and the perpetrator to duke it out in court—in this province ICBC acts as an intermediary that seems to protect the rights of drunk drivers and street racers more than victims. Such events are going to keep happening unless there is political will to change driver attitudes and make our roads safer for cycling. Aggressive drivers, and narrow roads are a recipe for disaster. You’ve got some idiot behind you blaring his horn, and yelling at you to get out of the way because he can’t pass—you’ve got nowhere to go—you are clipped into your pedals, and going onto the gravel will likely result in a blowout. Most Kelowna drivers seem totally ignorant to the rights of cyclists. You’ve got all sorts of fools like that on the road and they’re not usually young men in fast cars or the granny living down the street, but rather affluent baby boomers driving their big SUVs or luxury

sedans.You’ve got narrow, curvy roads with no shoulder and no place to safely pass. And then you’ve got these cycling groups on Sunday morning that ride up in East Kelowna—an accident waiting to happen—which almost did recently when three cyclists almost got taken out at the corner of my street. And despite having copious amounts of bike lanes, they are not where they would serve the greatest benefit—Glenmore Road, and Old Vernon Road. And you wonder with the repaving of Glenmore Road by McKinley why they didn’t put a bike lane

in while they were at it? Cyclists are left with few options—train under suboptimal conditions, or pack your bike out of town. In town, you’ve got traffic lights, stop signs and sharp curves requiring constant stopping making it hard to train for a target heart rate. For a lot of local cyclists, riding in Kelowna has become too dangerous, and so not worth the risk. For those of you who continue to ride their road bikes in town, be careful out there, it’s a jungle. Robert Hogue, Kelowna

Musical night from a unique character Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

In a town where the athletic community is often blamed for stealing thunder from the arts and where the arts community is, from time to time, looked down upon by the hockey nuts, Silverado Socrates stands as a breath of fresh air. Many of this trail rider’s homespun songs are about all the blood, sweat and tears she put into her glory days as a track and cross-country running sensation at Mount Boucherie High School and the University of Victoria in the mid-’80s. “I knew this was going to be my year,” she said in interview this week. “With the Olympics and my athletic background, I wanted to capitalize on that with my business. That didn’t really happen, but then this came along and it was just perfect.” “This” is an opportunity to perform her music at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art. Known for its inclusive, experimental approach to the arts, alternator director Jennifer Pickering is giving Socrates a chance to let her voice and her stories be heard this Friday in a session the budding musician hopes will launch a new phase of her life, experimenting with and sharing her artistic creations. Many people in the Okanagan already know Socrates, a kind soul whose run in local elec-

tions caught attention for her unique theme which focused on trying to get everyone to get along. It didn’t win her many votes on election day, unfortunately, but the theme plays out well in song. “Cause we all know fighting is wrong” would be the direct quote and it comes up in a tune about three troublemaking chickens she’s trying to befriend. It’s very important people understand Socrates is not normally afraid of her chickens, she said. The song only came to pass after she had broken her neck and was stuck in a neck brace. Bound up and struggling as it were, even the chickens held a little nervous jitter for her in this vulnerable position; so she penned a song in their honour. There’s a similar theme for her little ditty about getting over your fear of rattlesnakes. Like The Crazy Chicken Song, Ralph Rocks is about talking yourself into getting over a hurdle—in this case a rattlesnake named Ralph who parked himself in the middle of a prime riding trail, making it very difficult for Socrates to scoot around and earn her living. Socrates’s music is usually sung on the trails as she tours her guests and horses around her favourite Okanagan haunts. And while the descriptions might sound a little hokey on paper, her impressive voice and a life story that has car-

ried on in the same pellmell vein as her running career, she has a natural stage presence—a little k.d. lang meets Roy Rogers appeal. Today she runs Mandy and Me, a trail riding business on the Westside, and has an office she’s planning to open this summer out of the Delta Grand Hotel. She still holds a 3000-metre collegiate record of 9.04.88 minutes under her given name Brenda Shackleton and some of the trophies and accolades are buried amongst the news articles and paperwork on her desk. Socrates, who renamed herself after a truck and the Greek philosopher, says she’s got her fair share of problems nowadays; but the music is really an art for art’s sake pursuit that keeps her going when times get tough. “I’ve never done the running for money. I’ve never done the horses for money, but I’ve grown a lot along the way,” she said. The bumps in her trail are a little sketchy.

She’s had “a couple car accidents,” and has some financial problems brought on by schemes to grow from that trail riding ranch to a petting farm, with hopes of mentoring young kids. But as one creative soul, it’s clear she’s managed to muster a wide network of support from other like-minded, or at least, sympathetic friends. On small slips of paper in her office she has the mockups for a DVD of the performances she’s planning should she ever get to the point of recording them. The cover art is a beautiful painting of her and one of her horses, a work given to her by another artist. It matches nicely with the rhinestone belt buckle and leather chaps her songs earned her from a trail riding customer whose wife loved her whimsical lilt so much, he sent them along as a thank you after his wife passed on from cancer. Socrates performs tonight at 7 p.m. in the Alternator Gallery, at the RCA.

▼ MOVIE PREVIEWS

Movie remakes fill in the summer time slots The A-Team is simply a check-your-brainat-the-door action movie, but its pedigree is more than that. It is produced by brothers Ridley and Tony Scott (between the two of them they are responsible for some of the most influential movies of the last 30 years), directed by Joe Carnahan (Narc, Smokin’ Aces) and stars Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper and Jessica Biel. If you watched the TV series, you already know the story because the narration on the opening credits reminded you on a weekly basis. However, for the uninitiated: “A crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire—The ATeam.” The movie centres on them trying to clear their names. Sharlto Copley, who was the lead in last summer’s surprise hit District 9, plays “Howling Mad” Murdock and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson plays B.A. Baracus, the character originally made famous by Mr. T. If you do not know who Quinton Jackson is, he is a mixed martial artist who is a for-

t is time to pull out your leg warmers and parachute pants because it’s an ’80s flashback weekend at the movies. Remember when The A-Team created so much controversy as being the most violent show on television (in which bullets flew but no one was actually shot)? Remember when movie producers successfully blended the teen angst movie with the Rocky formula to create The Karate Kid? Having seen the latter, I was not expecting to like the remake of The Karate Kid, but by the end I liked it enough to recommend it, even to those who have seen the original. Although it follows the storyline closely, the setting has been moved to China (which is beautifully photographed) and “wax-on, wax-off” has been replaced by “jacketon, jacket-off.” However, the characters are a little richer, particularly Jackie Chan replacing Mr. Miyagi with Mr. Han, in a performance that is the best of his career. Jaden Smith (son of Will Smith, who serves as producer) is very charismatic on screen, like his father is, but is a little slight to be convincing in the part. Overall, it is a great family movie that both young (it is rated PG for martial-arts violence and bulling) and old will enjoy.

my home was cut down. I found out that the strata council had decided to remove the tree without informing me. Are they allowed to do that?

STRATA SCENE

Without knowing the specifics of this situation, it would be difficult to give a definitive answer. However, the short and easy answer is maybe yes or maybe no. Bare land stratas are not only among the most unique of all condo developments, they are also the least understood. Although they resemble any detached home subdivision, bare land stratas are subject to all the same rules as all other corporations. In this case, if the tree was on common property, council would be within its statutory right to remove the tree.

Gunnar Forsstrom Often trees can become diseased or die and could create a hazard or a liability. Strata councils are empowered to maintain and protect common property. However, if in fact the tree was located on private property, the owner would have a legitimate complaint. The Strata Property Act spells out the few instances when councils can take action with respect to private property. Unless it is an emergency owners are generally protected as is any

other homeowner to unwanted intrusion. The key to resolving any conflict between private and common property is to review the strata plan. There is no hard and fast rule. In some plans the property line is set on the outside surface building envelope. This means the owner is responsible to maintain and repair the siding, windows and roof. All the landscaping would be common property and the responsibility of the corporation. Other bare land stratas set the property line a few, or several, metres from the building. These owners would then be able to do their own landscaping, allowing them to create and maintain their own personal piece of property.

STRATA COUNCILS ARE EMPOWERED TO MAINTAIN AND PROTECT COMMON PROPERTY.

There are also strata plans that look like all other bare land stratas, however, they are actually more akin to apartment style condos. Although the units are detached houses, the plan states that the line of demarcation between private and common property is in the midpoint of the exterior walls. In this situation, the owner would be responsible to maintain the interior, while the corporation

is on the hook for the envelope and roofing. Another Strata Scene reader wanted to know if the council could tell him what colour to paint his house. Besides the strata plan, developers usually have a development plan or building scheme which details the colour and type of siding, roofing, etc. that is allowed. Although a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home is supposed to be their castle, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always someone around to tell you how tall to build the turret and how deep to dig the moat. Strata Scene is intended for general information purposes only. Gunnar Forsstrom is a licensed strata manager with Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty. 250-860-1411 gforsstrom@coldwellbanker.ca

Local author focuses new book on redefining self esteem Author Leanne Power is challenging parents to fend off self-esteem issues early by introducing them to different beauty ideals in the new children’s book “You Are Sooooo Beautiful: Empowering Self-Esteem for Ages 4-104.” The hand-illustrated, 36-page hardcover book is available in the U.S. on Amazon.com and in Canada at select retailers, including Chapters, Indigo and Greenwood’s Bookshop. “I wrote this book because I grew up with very low ‘physical self-esteem,’ even though I had very high self esteem in every other aspect of my life,” says Power. “I think it’s crucial that parents know there’s a big difference between the two.” Power’s goals are to introduce and spread a healthy definition of beauty, and to reinforce this message to parents: high self-esteem does not go hand in hand with physical self esteem. The book follows an aunt’s relationship with her niece Marley Rae. “Auntie” positively reinforces the characteristics that make Marley Rae unique, even different, and teaches Marley Rae not only to embrace them, but to also recognize and appreciate the beauty in other peoples’ unique characteristics. The recurring theme of “You Are Sooooo Beautiful” parallels Power’s personal conviction that if you choose to see beauty in yourself and others, you will. Power, an entrepreneur and mother of one, emphasizes parents’ roles as living examples of the ideals they want their kids to adopt. Power views her book as the first of many tools that will promote a new foundation of beauty— one that relies on parents to be more aware of the language they use to describe and reward beauty, as well as to regard the idea of beauty as descriptive of an all-encompassing personality trait, rather

than just the physical.

Kizashi a bold entry into a competitive segment Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

THE 2011 KIZASHI, a new mid-size entry, raises the bar for Suzuki with a product that offers a premium look, along with content that you wouldn’t expect in a car under $30K.

As the builder of stout, well-priced, but otherwise ordinary vehicles, the Kizashi is a bold departure for Suzuki. The name, in Japanese, translates to “something great is coming” and in many respects I agree with their assessment. And if not “great,” at least “very good.” From the outside, the Kizashi is like nothing else in the lineup, particularly the short-lived and nondescript Verona, Suzuki’s last entry to the mid-size segment. Suzuki describes the Kizashi’s exterior as the “melding of European style and Japanese crafts-

manship.” I won’t disagree, as it does look more like the VW Jetta than any of its Japanese competitors. Kizashi wears an aggressive look with its wide stance, lowered body and protruding wheel arches over 18-inch alloys. The bold mesh grille is flanked by wraparound, projector-style headlamps, giving the front end a sporty look, complemented by the distinctively bobbed rear end. Here, the arched trunklid rises to a subtle lip spoiler, and along with the integrated exhaust finishers, speaks to the car’s athleticism. The exhausts, in particular, would See Suzuki B5

THE ANNUAL Fleetwood Country Cruize-In, held for the last seven years on the estate/farm of Steve Plunkett near London, Ont., attracted an estimated 2,800 cars plus a number of celebrities like singer Lou Christie and five cast members of the movie, American Graffiti.

Fleetwood Country Cruize-In Canada’s largest collector car show Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

The Fleetwood Country Cruize-In, Canada’s largest collector car show, just keeps getting bigger and better. The event, held June 5, began humbly seven years ago when 60 collector car owners arrived as the 250acre estate/farm of Steven Plunkett located just south of London, Ont. The talk got around to having place where people could show off their cars. Not just hyper restored vehicles that come and go to events on trailers, but everyday cars people are proud to own. “It started with 60 cars and two cases of Coke,” Plunkett said. “The next year we had 400 cars and then it just grew out of control.” And grew it did with an estimated 2,800 vehicles on the grounds ranging from breathtaking

pre-war Auburns and Cadillacs to no less than scores of Studebaker and Packard cars that chose the Cruize-In to celebrate 100 years of Studebaker. And it’s not just cars, but the stars too. This year five of the cast members of American Graffiti (Bo Hopkins, Cindy Williams, Lynn Stewart, Candy Clark and Paul LeMat) were signing autographs. This with the second year for Hopkins and Clark who both said they love the relaxed atmosphere of the event. George Barris, the King of the Kustoms fame and the creator of iconic TV and movie cars like the Munstermobile, General Lee for the Dukes or Hazzard and Starsky and Hutch undercover police car, was on hand for the fifth year moving constantly through the crowd talking and signing autographs. Another part of the

Turner

event is the dance with legendary groups from the 1960s and 1970s. This year it was Lou Christie and The Brooklyn Bridge. In the past, Plunkett has had Tommy James, Mary Wells, Herman’s Hermits, Fabian and Frankie Avalon just to name a few. Throughout, Plunkett has insisted admission to the grounds be held at $10 per person. Local groups like the Lions and Optimists run all concessions and every penny goes to 25 London-area charities. Plunkett said plans are already underway for next year. Mel’s Dinner, which he had build this year for the American Graffiti cast, will be renamed Arnold’s next year, You guessed it; there will be a Happy Days cast reunion. And this is much more.

▼ SUZUKI

Kizashi stands up to pricier competitors Suzuki from B1 not look out of place in vehicles much higher up the pricing ladder. Although Suzuki speaks of the Kizashi as being mid sized, it falls somewhere between Corolla and Camry or Civic and Accord. Consequently, so does trunk space with only 378 litres versus 425 for Camry and 397 for Accord. Rear seat legroom is also a bit tighter than some of these family-sized vehicles, but unless you’re travelling with a bunch of six-foot-plus passengers, it should be ample. Overall, I like Kizashi’s trimmer proportions. Mid-size cars have become bloated over the

years, and many of today’s “compacts” are anything but. In this sedan, Suzuki seems to have found the right balance between size and agility. All of that aside, the interior is everything I’d expect in a premium sedan and certainly a step up for Suzuki. As part of the Kizashi’s fully-loaded, single trim level, the cabin is well appointed with high-quality materials and superb fit and finish—not out of line with what you’d see in an entry Lexus or Acura. The leather-trimmed seats are constructed of low fatigue foam and with high side bolsters, making them both comfortable and grippy in the corners. The perforated seating sur-

faces and double-stitched seams complement the upscale look and feel. The heated driver’s seat is 10-way power adjustable and, unexpected at this price point, also includes three-position memory. The heated front passenger seat is four-way power adjustable. Up front, you also get a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, chrome accents around instruments and controls, metallic inserts and loads of soft-touch materials throughout. Other standard features include dual zone automatic climate control with micron air filter; Rockford-Fosgate nineSee Suzuki B7

THE KIZASHI has a sophisticated interior, with a fit and finish befitting the entry premium segment. Leather upholstery, chrome accents, metallic inserts and an abundant use of soft touch materials create an upscale environment.

sedan, outfitted with a hybrid power train. Nissan says it set out to make the Altima one of the best performing large front-wheel drive sedans on the market. The hybrid version adds better fuel economy and fewer emissions to produce a more environmentally friendly vehicle. The Hybrid is one of five models in the Altima lineup, joining the Altima 2.5 S, 2.5 S with SL Package, and two 3.5-litre V6 models, the 3.5 S and 3.5 SR. With few changes from the 2009 model, the 2010 Altima Hybrid is really an easy and pleasant vehicle to drive. It has a well-designed, comfortable interior and, for 2010, offers an optional Leather Tech Package ($4,900) that includes a number of features including leather seats, Bose audio system and rear view monitor. Also new for this model year is a refreshed front fascia and grille, newly styled 16-inch alloy wheels and standard folding mirrors with integrated turn signals. The Altima Hybrid power train starts with Nissan’s tried and true 2.5-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine. The engine has been refined with a larger intake manifold, inSee Nissan B7

creased compression ratio fand reduced friction charracteristics. It is combined with an electric motor, producing a hybrid system power rating of 198 hp, and it can travel an estimated 1,300 km between fill-ups. The hybrid system is designed so the car will run on electric power alone if appropriate. This occurs mainly during stop-and-go driving so the Altima Hybrid is a better bet for those who do a lot of city driving. When more power is required, the gasoline engine starts instantly and generates the

power needed for acceleration. In stop-and-go driving, the system goes into Electric Vehicle (EV) mode to power the car through its initial acceleration periodtypically a gas-powered vehicle’s least fuel-efficient stage. After the initial acceleration, the gasoline engine kicks in to power the vehicle. At speed, the electric motor starts again to help power the vehicle and reduce the gasoline consumption.

speaker (plus subwoofer) AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system with USB input, speed-sensing volume control, steering wheel controls and Bluetooth; tilt and telescopic steering wheel with paddle shifters; rear parking sensors; power glass sunroof and rain sensing wipers. In back, you get a 60/40 split folding rear seatback with folding centre armrest that includes cupholders and trunk pass-through. The list of standard safety and handling technologies is more than I’d expect at this level, including Daimler’s electronic stability program, ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, and Suzuki’s synergetic vehicle dynamic control, which aids in driver control with minimal intrusiveness. The Kizashi also gets a class-leading eight airbags. Also unexpected is Suzuki’s sophisticated iAWD system as standard equipment. A switch on the dash activates the rear wheels, taking it from front-drive to all-wheeldrive, providing better cornering during spirited tdriving and enhanced tracftion in winter weather. The Kizashi offers a single engine, a 2.4-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder that provides 180 hp and 170 lb/ft of torque. This is routed through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). f Despite Suzuki referring to the Kizashi as a “sports sedan,” I wouldn’t say its powertrain delivers that kind of performance. Power is certainly in line with other four-cylinder, mid-size sedans, but lacks

serious oomph. I would suggest adding a turbo option, or at least offering the six-speed manual that is available in other markets. That being said, launch is a bit sluggish, but the CVT gathers steam as you climb in revs. It moans when pushed hard, as these transmissions will do, but gears down readily when you press the accelerator or tap the paddle shifter. Ride is firm, but not unpleasantly so— like many European or Japanese sports sedans. The chassis is nicely balanced, and handles well on twisty roads. You can tell that Suzuki has put a lot of thought into the Kizashi’s driving dynamics. At $29,995, it’s a little less expensive than top-tier, four-cylinder Accords and Camrys and is even better equipped, with AWD as standard. And if that’s the kind of car you’re weighing against the Kizashi, this Suzuki flagship compares well in terms of driving dynamics, content and style. It’s not likely that a small player like Suzuki will become top dog among the many strong Japanese, European and domestic mid-size contenders. But this company has, in my mind, raised the bar in a very competitive segment, and now offers an interesting alternative in a very closely matched class of vehicles.

ing as the Altima Hybrid is rated at 5.6L/100 km (50 mpg) city and 5.9L/100 km (48 mpg) highway. In comparison, the 2.5-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine model produces numbers of 8.7L/100 km (32 mpg) city and 6.0L/100 km (47 mpg) highway. As far as emissions are concerned, the Altima Hybrid is rated as an Advanced TechnologyPartial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV) and emits almost no evaporavtive emissions. Regenerative braking is used to recharged the Altima Hybrid’s battery system. A generator places resistance on the driveshaft during braking and the system converts this friction into usable energy that is stored in the system’s 244.8V Nickel Metal Hydride battery for use by the electric motor. Design wise, the Altima Hybrid is identical to the regular Altima sedan, except for the Hybrid badge on the outside and hybrid power/charge display on the information display. This is a plus in my opinion because many of the dedicated hybrids are not what you would call ‘sexy’ from a design standpoint. While they may be aerodynamically designed, they’re not pretty. The Altima uses Nissan’s 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine, but the hybrid system is one designed by Toyota and used in the Camry Hybrid. The fuel

economy figures are similar to the Altima Hybrid as the Camry gets 5.7L/100 km in both city and highway driving. Again, similar to the other Altima models, the usual safety features are included on the Hybrid version. They include dualstage front airbags, front seat side-impact air bags, roof-mounted side curtain airbags and front seat active head restraints. Also standard are traction control, stability control, anti-lock brakes, electric power steering and a continuously variable transmission, specially designed to work with the gas-hybrid system. Other standard features are keyless ignition with Nissan’s Intelligent Key system, folding side mirrors with integrated turn signals, dual zone climate control, leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls and a power moonroof. On the road, the Altima Hybrid has pretty decent acceleration, thanks in part to the added power from the electric motor that produces about 40 hp and 199 lb/ft of torque. To keep it in electric (EV) mode you have to feather the throttle as lightly as possible and even then, the gasoline engine often kicks in. A few times, I was able to accelerate to 60 km/h in EV mode and that’s when you get the best fuel economy numbers. You can See Nissan B9

Stunning! Stunning in its offroad performance. Stunning in its on-road performance. Stunning in its build quality and appointments. And, yes, stunning in price at $129,960 as tested. It is the 2010 Range Rover Supercharged Autobiography and is, in my opinion, what a British luxury vehicle is all about. Range Rover is the full-size, flagship model of the Land Rover/Range Rover brand and comes with a choice of two 5.0-litre V8 engines: the naturally aspirated version with 375 hp and 375 lb/ft of torque as found on the HSE and HSE Luxury or the Supercharged version with 510 hp and 461 lb/ft of torque. These engines are new, and while developed primarily for smoothness, they are much more powerful then the 4.2-litre V8 found in previous version in either naturally

aspirated or supercharged form. The new, naturally aspirated HSE completes the 0-100 km/h sprint in 7.6 seconds which is just 0.1 seconds shy of the 2009 supercharged version. The new supercharged engine is even faster with a 0-100 km/h time of 6.2 seconds. Making this power in the latter V8 is a compact Roots-type blower that feeds air through twin intercoolers that in turn are water-cooled by their own cooling system. Air is delivered through twin air boxes that reduce flow loss and further increase efficiency. The new supercharger and its intercoolers are nestled into the V of the engine to deliver a low overall engine height. Both engines are mated to the revised and super-smooth ZF sixspeed automatic transmission. The transmission features an intelligent mode that can sense and adapt shift characterSee Land Rover B11

Shock settings continually optimized istics to particular driving styles. The 2010 Range Rover has an enhanced Adaptive Dynamics system that further improves the Range Roverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renowned ride quality with greater refinement and superior body control. It is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first tproduction system to employ model-based predictive technology that continually optimizes shock settings for the widest possible range of conditions. Precision DampTronic rValve Technology damper units that incorporate conrtinually adjustable damping valves replace conventional dampers. r The predictive techrnology enables damper settings on each wheel to be continuously refined between â&#x20AC;&#x153;softâ&#x20AC;? that are comfort-oriented settings and â&#x20AC;&#x153;hardâ&#x20AC;? for firmer body control settings. fDamper pressure on each wheel is monitored 500 times per second. The system optimizes the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body and ride control, instantly responding to both the demands of the prevailing driving style and of the terrain encountered, in both on- and off-road situations. The braking system for the supercharged model features 15-inch (380 mm) ventilated front discs with unique lightweight aluminum six-piston opposed action monoblock calipers. At the rear, 14.3inch (365 mm) ventilated discs with single-piston sliding calipers are fitted.

In my experience there is nothing quite like Range Roverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terrain Response system that can take on anything from sand to boulders and all controlled by a rotary knob on the transmission tunnel. Soft sand is the most challenging surface for any vehicle. Newly introduced is â&#x20AC;&#x153;sand launch controlâ&#x20AC;?. How it works is the new, speed-dependent traction control system permits only very limited initial wheel-slip, helping to prevent the wheels digging down into the sand. There are also updates to the rock crawl program that improve brake and traction control response times helping to reduce the wheels rolling in an unintended direction when traversing boulders, and giving a more composed drive through rocky terrain. In addition to â&#x20AC;&#x153;sandâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;rock crawlâ&#x20AC;? there is also normal, mud/ruts and grass/gravel/snow (that also includes ice). Land Roverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s muchacclaimed Hill Descent Control system is enhanced on the latest Range Rover with the addition of Gradient Release Control. This limits the initial rate of acceleration for descending very steep inclines, to increase control when braking is released at extreme angles. That is just a brief overview of what this truck can do but lets look at why people really buy Range Rovers. First there is the shape. There are detail enhanceSee Land Rover B12

Range Rover tied to its unique iconic classic appearance Land Rover from B11 ments for 2010, but the current model essentially looks like it did 40 years ago. And while Range

Rover probably would like to do a complete restyling, people buy a Range Rover for that unique appearance. It speaks to visions of Queen Elizabeth

bouncing around Balmoral in her Range Rover along with Charles and the Princes. Inside the Autobiography it really is fit for a

king or queen. The version tested here starts with the base Supercharged model at $111,900 and adds the Autobiography package

at $14,200. You just can’t beat the full, semi-Aniline leather seats, full leather doors panels even full leather centre and lower dash-

board for that rich Aniline scent. Even the headliner (ceiling) is finished in jet black leather. Couple that to the 14-piece, real wood trim and you have a visual and olfactory delight. And at the centre of driver’s attention will be the instrument cluster consisting of a 12-inch Thin Film Transistor screen that relays all essential driver information via cleverly designed “virtual” dials and graphical displays. The system’s message centre (the area between rev counter and speedometer) can be customized by the driver to display personal prioritized information, from system warnings, outside temperature and vehicle information to less critical data such as audio and telephone displays. The message centre also relays off-road information, such as steering angle, wheel articulation, suspension settings and Terrain Response settings. I like the entry lights buried in the leather lower trim panel that look like mini pot lights and throw out just about as much light too. Another thing is the beefy hood release, not some dinky little pull tab. Another $900 gets you the Surround Camera System with no less than five cams: one under each outside mirror, two in the front bumper and one in the rear for a near 360 degree view around the car. For class, there is the wood and leather steering wheel ($1,100) and shifter that are offset by the use of piano black lacquer on the dashboard. Top it off with $500 for the jet black coloured headliner plus $1,270 to ship it here from England and it all adds up to $129,960. Oddly, what you get in terms of sheer engineering and amenities far outweighs a whole slew of

premium luxury sedans that cost more than the Autobiography. But, with a supercharged engine running on premium fuel, it is not exactly cheap to operate. According to the Canada Energuide, the Supercharged has a fuel rating of 18.1/11.7/15.3L/100 km city/highway/combined with the average yearly cost of operation averaged at $3,366 per year. To find out, I covered 585.7 km on a round trip covering a mix of urban/ suburban/highway driving. Averaging 90 km/h on these roads, my fuel consumption averaged out to 13.1L/100 km better than the Energuide. On highway cruise, the instant consumption bounced between 12.5L and 13.5L/100 km which was close to the Energuide. Considering it weighs in at a whopping 5,891 lb (2,672 kg), my mileage was actually pretty good. This truck is not for everyone and it’s not supposed to be. If you want affordable on- and off-road ability, there are many choices. But if you want an unparalleled combination of performance and luxury, the 2010 Range Rover Supercharged Autobiography simply cannot be bettered.

Coming out of the 90-degree corner, I plant

the pedal and accelerate toward the line of orange pylons. It takes a bit of nerve to stay on the gas until the

Reduce your road rage and stay safe this season KATE WELLS As we approach summer, driving changes for everyone on the road. Kids are out playing, travel trailers are being towed, motorcycles are cruising and cyclists are out in full force. As drivers, we need to adjust our driving to make the roads safe for all. Everyone has felt a bit of “road rage.” Many of us don’t want to admit it, but we have likely muttered bad words, thrown up an inappropriate gesture or even worse. However, studies show that your risk of being involved in a collision doubles for victims and perpetrators of road rage. It’s up to you as a driver to stop the initial response in order to prevent a collision.

Free Learners Preparation Wednesday, June 16th 6:30 - 8:30 pm Full Driving Course: June 15th - Tuesday Evenings July 6th - 3 Summer Days July 20th - 6 Summer Mornings

Here are a few tips to help you stay calm when driving: • You need to change YOUR driving style. Don’t keep blaming everyone else on the road. If you realize you drive aggressively, don’t panic. Try to relax. • Get more sleep. According to the Canadian Sleep Society, drowsiness is second only to alcohol as a major cause of crashes. It’s also a trigger in road rage. Drivers who drive when irritated are ticking time bombs and are less in control of their emotions. • Don’t make eye contact with an angry driver. If you ﬁnd yourself in a situation with another angry driver, look away. This shows the other driver you do not want to “challenge” him or her. Always give the “right of way”

when dealing with another aggressive driver. • Stay focused on your driving. Make sure your skills are up to date and you aren’t the reason for other driver’s road rage! If you ﬁnd you’re getting honked at quite frequently and don’t know why, consider taking a refresher lesson. Ask a family member to drive with you and let you know how they feel about your driving. • Stay calm in the car. Listen to relaxing music. Give yourself extra time to get to your destination so you are not racing around. Websites are available to test your driving to see if you have road rage, including www.roadragers.com Take the test and if you ﬁnd you may be an angry driver, change your habits immediately!

MOTORING

Silica compounds nano-fillers and hybrid fibres for performance and tread life Pirelli from B16 imal body roll. What else would you expect from a BMW? But the focus here is on the tires and on pushing their performance limits to the edge. Easier to say than do, when it comes to a set of Pirellis. But I just grin and follow the circuit around for another shot at the chicane. This isn’t the kind of thing drivers normally do. Especially in a heavy, diesel-powered SUV like the BMW X5 xDrive35d. But it does simulate the kind of situation drivers might find themselves in, making an emergency evasive maneuver to avoid another car. Or a child, or a dog, or whatever. Pirelli was recently demonstrating their new “green” tire, the Scorpion Verde All Season, the newest addition to the Scorpion lineup of SUV, crossover and light truck performance tires. “Wait a minute,” you might say. “A ‘green’ tire? Then, what’s with the performance testing?” Well, it’s fair to say that Pirelli’s first concern, its reputation and even the public perception of the Pirelli brand name, is focused primarily on performance. In light of that, the Scorpion Verde was designed for a mix of qualities that include low road noise and increased performance in wet braking, dry handling, wet handling and even snow traction situations. The asymmetric tread combines four longitudinal channels to displace water, tread blocks to break noise sequences and sipes for both wet and dry road conditions. The Scorpion Verde is the original equipment tire on premium SUVs like the VW Touareg, Audi Q3, Volvo XC90 and Porsche Cayenne, a pretty good indicator that the performance focus is working. Special silica compounds, nano-filler particles and hybrid fibres combine with tire archi-

tecture to emphasize a stable footprint that improves performance while benefiting wear uniformity and tread life. And, of course, better tire wear and a longer lifetime become “green factors” on their own, bolstered here by Pirelli’s increased use of the HAOF (Highly Aromatic Oil Free) compounds that result in 8 percent less raw material use in production of the tires. A 20 percent reduction in rolling resistance, compared to previous tires, also reduces vehicle fuel costs and CO2 emissions. And, when it comes to the factory production of the tires, Pirelli boasts of an increased company wide emphasis on environmental sustainability, citing industrial reductions of 12.7 per cent less water consumption, 9.2 per cent less energy consumption, 8.9 per cent less CO2 emissions and 14.9 per cent less NO2 emissions since 2004. The Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season tire is available in 16- to 20-inch wheel sizes, in widths from 235-275mm and aspect ratios of 45-70. Speed indexes range cover T-, H- and V-ratings and those combinations of sizes should cover about ninety percent of the SUV, crossover and light truck market. Pirelli plans to make 40 per cent of its lineup “green” by 2011 and is also working on run-flat versions. Now, a cynic might say that it’s easy to trot out some eco-badging and statistics to cash in on a “green” market, but taking Pirelli’s inherent performance qualities and bolstering them with more sustainable production, reduced rolling resistance and a longer tread wear lifetime can only have a beneficial impact on the environment. And on your wallet. The new Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season performance tire for SUVs, crossovers and light trucks—a green tire, available only in black.

THE SCORPION VERDE was developed for optimal traction on a variety of surfaces. The tread pattern features four deep longitudinal grooves to disperse water, sipes for loose surfaces, innovative compounds designed to improve traction and tread wear and reinforced shoulders to optimize lateral grip on all road conditions.
