School district ready to assist displaced students Jennifer Smith CAPITAL NEWS

Local schools will welcome students “with open arms” from an elite private school in Summerland, which appears to have gone under without notice, the Central Okanagan School District’s superintendent says. As schools closed for business in Kelowna Thursday, superintendent Hugh Gloster confirmed he had only learned Thursday afternoon that the Summerland-based Glenfir School would shutdown permanently at the end of school today. Gloster said he had already received calls from two parents looking for spaces. “We’re just starting to hear from parents now, but we’re anticipating we will be hearing from more over the spring break,” said Gloster, noting he was still looking for information on what had happened. The superintendent said the school district considers finding the displaced students a means to carry on with their education as part of its responsibility and would

welcome, with open arms, any student needing placement. Glenfir issued a press release on Thursday in which the head of the school, Craig Dunbar, announced the closure would occur the next day and be permanent, barring an ‘angel’ investment. Dunbar cited declining enrolment and a poor economic climate for the demise of the 18-year-old school. At its peak in the early 2000s, the kindergarten through Grade 12 school had an average of 175 students. Today, that enrolment is only 76 students, including 34 from the Kelowna area. Dunbar said they simply don’t have the money to continue operating the facility, which employs 18 staff members. “Our final teaching day will be Friday, March 18, after which time all of the students will go on spring break,” he said. “Unfortunately, we will not be able to re-open the school again.” While administraSee Displaced A7

Cherry orchardists wary of new pest Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Hundreds and hundreds of farmers throughout the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys have been turning out this week to information meetings about a devastating new pest of cherries and other soft fruits. The vinegar fly, spot-

ted wing drosophila, first showed up in Canada in the fall of 2009, but by last fall, there were millions, and some growers’ cherries were turned away from the packinghouse, which has a policy of permitting no worms. However, growers were assured that by following the recommended regimen of applying cov-

er sprays in the orchard, and cleaning up after harvest, control of the invader is possible. Key advice from Wednesday’s Kelowna workshop, where researcher and entomologist Peter Shearer described the Oregon experience with SWD last year, is “growers must not be complacent. They must remain vigilant.”

That advice was repeated by Charlotte Leaming, field staff with the Okanagan Tree Fruit Cooperative, who warned the pest is “everywhere.” She advised that everyone growing soft fruit has to deal with alternate hosts of SWD, such as berries in the home garden or those of neighbours, wild blackberries, saskatoons and

Oregon grape, and also fruit that is not shipped. Cull fruit must be properly disposed of, not in the compost, but by burying it or freezing it first; and she advised that such holes be dug prior to the busy time of harvest, so there’s no time lag. See Pest A7

▼ JAMIE AND ALAINA PODMOROW

Mother and daughter inspired to help women in Afghanistan Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

When 14-year-old Alaina Podmorow heads to New York for the 2011 Three Dot Dash Just Peace Summit, she will be traveling light. In the five years since she started Little Women for Little Women in Afghanistan, she has learned a thing or two about ensuring her speaking engagements run smoothly. The audio-video equipment folds into a backpack, so she never has to rely on the venue for technical support, and she and her mother, Jamie Podmorow, have packing their one suitcase like they’re playing Tetris. “Oh, we’ve got this down,” jokes Jamie, who also has sending out press kits, promo photos, scheduling interviews and playing chauffeur licked. It was actually Jamie’s interest that started all of this. She was standing on the soccer field chatting with another mother and heard journalist and human rights activist Sally Armstrong was coming to the Creekside Theatre to talk about Afghanistan. “We started talking about what was going on in Afghanistan and I just was really, really intrigued. I wanted to hear what she had to say,” she recalls. She asked Alaina, then a nine-year-old Davidson

with her mother to participate in the Three Dot Dash Just Peace Summit. Road Elementary School student, if she wanted to come and she saw a great excuse to stay up late and seized the day. By all accounts— and there are many out there—what happened next was a little unanticipated. “I was completely upset about everything and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I knew I wanted to do something to make that change,” said Alaina. “I was thinking that these girls aren’t that different from us girls here in Canada. “We do share the same hopes, and we share the same dreams, and we absolutely deserve the same chance in life to reach those hopes and dreams.” That little seed of in-

spiration and indignation quickly spawned a huge organization and within three years, Jamie had to give up her job at a local specialist’s office to serve as her daughter’s administrative assistant. And if her life trajectory has changed somewhat at the hands of Alaina’s vision, her daughter’s has pretty well taken a sharp left, a sharp right, skipped the guardrail and is now screaming up a mountain of her own design. Since founding her organization, she has spoken on Parliament Hill, met with Prime Minister Stephen Harper, been to New York, done interviews with Time Magazine and now attends a private school—on scholarship—so she can balance her time commit-

ments. This latest summit is for 34 youth leaders, selected from around the world, to put their heads together and draw on mutual strategies to affect change. “We’re going to learn about promoting our organization and making a huge difference in our world and different strategies on how to do that,” said Podmorow. She’s clearly already had a few sessions of this—and a good deal of success as well. The money from Little Women goes to Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan, which sets up and monitors the projects they get involved with, which are numerous. The organizations team up to train teachers, pay teachers’ $750 annual salary, build and stock libraries, have a library-ina-box program for communities where they can’t yet build a physical building, and support orphans and entire communities. Generating all of that money takes work and Podmorow has turned in a pretty hefty touring schedule over the years, hitting engagements all over Alberta and Ontario. She was named a Huggable Hero, by Build a Bear, and thus nominated for this latest summit. She and her mother return April 3. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

KELOWNA FIREFIGHTERS responded to a fire at a seniors complex on Jones Avenue in the city’s North End on Wednesday.

Kelowna seniors are displaced by fire Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Dozens of Kelowna seniors are displaced from their homes following a fire that broke out in their Jones Avenue housing complex Wednesday afternoon. “I was out to pick up the mail when I noticed smoke in the hallway,” said Claude DeLongchamps, a resident of the North End seniors complex. “About five or 10 minutes later, it was filled with smoke—the alarm didn’t go off or anything.” DeLongchamps then employed the help of Okanagan Manor’s “second in charge” and they called 911, and followed up by knocking on their neighbours’ windows and doors, to make sure they evacuated.

WE’VE GOT YOUR TRUCK!

As residents bundled up, some managing to take a change of clothes, others not, 18 firefighters and four engines made it to the scene. “First arriving crews saw the smoke on the roof and when they investigated, they found the fire was coming from the electrical room,” said Kelowna’s assistant fire chief Lou Wilde. “We evacuated everybody, then opened the roof to expose the fire.” Although the cause has yet to be squared away, Wilde said they assumed the problem was to do with wiring, and there’s been significant damage wrought. As such, the 26 residents have been placed in hotels with the help of emergency social services. There’s no estimate when the building will be back in operating order.

Introduce youngsters to wonders of nature during spring break

W

ith decent weather forecast for next week, and the kids out of school, it’s a great opportunity to introduce them to Mother Nature. Or, to let them spend a little more time with her. We have a wide variety of parks in this area, each with a particular natural feature that sets it apart from its surroundings. One of my favourite provincial parks in this area is Fintry, about an hour up Westside Road, but with plenty for youngsters to do, including use up some of that excess energy along the pathways and the stairs that follow the series of waterfalls on Shorts Creek as it tumbles into Okanagan Lake. Kids can also walk the half-mile labyrinth adjacent to the historic Manor House and explore the historic buildings or their surroundings. Lots of birds call the grounds home and there are plenty of places to cycle around the grounds as well as hiking trails and a mile of beach. Along the same road, there are two regional parks on Okanagan Lake, Raymer Bay and Trader’s Cove, along with an upland one with lots of hiking trails and some beauti-

TRAIL MIX

Still on the west side of the lake, there are regional parks such as Hardy Falls south of Peachland, which features a trail along the creek to a lovely waterfall; Gellatly Nut Farm, with a historic nut orchard, heritage buildings and beach near the Gellatly Heritage Regional Park with nice views, a historic cemetery and log home and barn. Then, there’s Glen Canyon Regional Park, reached from many spots between the lake and high in Glenrosa, with trails along the creek, deep in the canyon; and Shannon Lake park, with trails and grassy areas along the lake where games can be played or a picnic eaten. There’s also a Free Spring Discovery at that park on Monday, March 28, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., a morning of free family fun, including outdoor games and activities. Kalamoir is one of the best and earliest places around to enjoy spring sunflowers and it’s a great

loop trail, all overlooking Okanagan Lake. In Kelowna, the city’s Knox Mountain Park provides some grand trails with panoramic views, a bit of history and early wildflowers, as well as wildlife and bird watching opportunities. Take a trip around Rotary Marsh right downtown and watch the first birds building nests for the season. Flatter trails and lots more interaction with nature is available at Woodhaven Nature Conservancy, and there’s an emphasis on bird watching, with fewer trails at the city’s Maude Roxby Bird Sanctuary, but an active park with swings and such for little ones is adjacent. There are lots more including in the South Slopes where mountain bikers can get a good workout as well as hikers; but I can’t include them all here. You’ll have to do a bit of research if you want more information. There’s also the Mission Creek Greenway if a longer walk, or a good cycling trip, and at the EECO there’s a display of local birds of prey right now which the kids would find fascinating. During Spring Break, there are kids’ programs

at the EECO called Nature Detectives Spring Break Camps, with different activities for different ages.

Cherry growers plead that budget cuts be stopped Judie Steeves

ing program there was just getting started under David Lane when he took it over in 1994, and today it’s estimated that 80 per cent of the world’s new cherries are Summerland varieties. Those new varieties included split-resistant and later season varieties that have rejuvenated the industry in the Okanagan, until today it represents a substantial portion of the $900 million in economic activity generated by the entire tree fruit industry. There won’t be a new cherry breeder hired at the centre, but the apple breeder, Cheryl Hampson, will instead take on the cherry breeding program as well. Kappel wouldn’t comment on that decision, except to say that because land and labour prices in Canada tend to be higher than other growing areas of the world, consumers need to be prepared to pay for their food if they want a thriving agriculture industry in this country. B.C. growers have been leaders in intensive production in tree fruits and the industry has been very innovative, with

B.C.’s lucrative cherry industry wouldn’t exist the way it is today without federal research efforts, and the orchard industry relies on the foundation of federal and provincial business risk management programs. Yet, those same programs may be chopped according to Liberal agriculture critic Wayne Easter, and local orchardists say researchers at the Pacific Agri-food Research Centre are already being cut. Local cherry growers Christine Dendy and David H. Geen, both members of the executive of the Okanagan-Kootenay Cherry Growers’ Association, say they are not happy that several researchers who have retired in recent years have not been replaced. The issue was brought up again this week with the retirement of cherry breeder Frank Kappel, after 28 years with the federal government, 23 of those at the research centre in Summerland.

growers in other parts of the world looking to B.C. as where they’d like to be, he commented. “Our growers are very good stewards of the land. They work hard at it,” he added. However, growers are concerned that their hard work may not be paid off without continued support from senior governments. “Our association has the money to spend on research, but teamwork is needed. The plant pathologist and other specialists need to be in the same building so they can work together researching issues,” commented Dendy. Chemical companies do some research, but public-funded research is important too, because it might not all be in the best interests of a particular company, noted Dendy. And, there are shipping and packing issues which would not be attractive as research by a chemical company, but which are still invaluable to the industry, she added. “Growers can’t do it alone,” she commented. Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan said there has been a significant increase in the agricultural research budget, which was $266 million last year, but he admitted there are some concerns that B.C. doesn’t get its fair share. He said federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz is aware of the issues and interested in working in partnership with the provincial government.

Minimum wage hike applauded Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Even though his business will be impacted by the cost of a rising minimum wage, Ryan Abougoush says the provincial mandate is a move in the right direction. “It will have to be absorbed, which means it will reflect in the prices businesses charge,” said Abougoush, one of the coowners of Bernard Avenue’s Grateful Fed.

It’s a change in tack that the provincial government had been criticized in the past for not taking fast enough. Following in that vein, Jim Sinclair, president of the B.C.

responsiveness. “A minimum wage increase is long overdue, and it’s unfortunate B.C.’s lowest paid workers had to wait 10 years for any increase,” Sinclair said. “$8.75 is a poor start. B.C. will still have the lowest minimum wage in Canada, but we’re hopeful that the premier will keep her promises to reach $10.25 by next May.” By the estimates of Kelowna Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, the graduated implementation of $10.25 should please business owners. “As a business man, I know for myself that it’s important to have time to adjust,” he said. “The fact that it’s happening over the next 18 months, and not immediately, is important.” Letnick continued to say that only 2.3 per cent of British Columbians bring home an $8 hour or less wage, and in 2009 that amounted to 41,0000 workers. His figures indicate that the average youth wage in B.C. is $13.86, while the average adult makes $23 an hour. “Some people will feel the impact more than others,” he said, but added that most people will spend their money in the local economy.

Cherry growers are concerned Pest from A1 There’s a very short time between the first hatch of adults and the first egg laying in fruit. It can be as short as a day, depending on temperatures. Shearer told growers last year Oregon’s cherrygrowing region was the only one in the west with no damage to cherries from SWD, and he’s con-

fident with proper management, damage can be prevented. However, he admits that even Oregon State this year is gearing up for a major offensive. Shearer told about 140 growers in Kelowna there are large, contiguous cherry orchards in the Columbia area of Oregon, which they treat by applying Malathion from an aircraft. With the Okanagan’s

smaller orchards, interspersed with residential areas and other farms, such an approach would not be practical. Last year, Shearer said no flies were detected prior to the cherry harvest, yet they were still catching flies in traps after the first major freeze of the year in late November, and during the thaw in January, so he knows things will be different this year.

“We will continue to hope for some small miracle that allows us to open our doors on April 4, allowing our students to return to their school,” said

GETTING CREATIVE‌Leyla Lparsa, 7, a Grade 2 student at Bankhead Elementary School in Kelowna, works on an art project during her school’s celebration of cultural arts through activity program held on Thursday.

â–ź HOMELESSNESS PROJECT

University students get feel for what living in poverty is like Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Richelle Collins will get to shower, eat a homecooked meal and sleep in her own bed tonight. It’s something the 21-year-old once took for granted but after five nights of bunking outside the sciences building at UBC Okanagan, it will be a much-appreciated change of pace. “It’s been much harder than I thought it would be,� said Collins, of her five days of voluntary homelessness, Thursday

afternoon. “We get up at 6:30 a.m., when the sun comes up, move into the corner and start panhandling.� Collins is among five management and two social work students at the university, dabbling in poverty as part of a campaign dubbed Five Days for the Homeless. It was started in 2005 by business students from the University of Alberta to raise money and awareness for a local charity. Since then, schools across the country have taken the up the challenge

and this year alone their efforts have raised $128,000 nationally. Locally nearly $2,500 was raised for NOW Canada sponsored Tutt Street Place Apartment for Women and Children. Good work and hardship aside, however, Collins admitted their efforts are far from what an actual homeless person actually experiences—although the small taste they have has been eye opening. “We’re still going to classes,� Collins explained. “And inside I still want to do my best, but

the physical strain from sleeping outside makes it hard—it’s no wonder people have trouble getting jobs.� In addition to increasing their own level of understanding, students around the university are starting to take notice of what they’ve done. “When we started people would ask us ‘what are you doing, sleeping outside?’� she said. “Now one in five say ‘hi’ at least.� Case in point was economic student Chris Paley, who stopped briefly to discuss what was happening. “I’m from Niagra, Ont. and this (movement) has blown up there in the last couple of years,� he said. “It’s a good idea to raise awareness that it’s not just stereotypical old hobos who are homeless—it can be anyone. Some people don’t have money, they don’t have a job and once they’re on the street they can’t get off.� For more information about the campaign, or to donate, go to www.5days. ca.

The nominations are in and the top-three contestants about to be announced for the B.C. Interior Music Awards, a small, though growing, event designed to promote Interior musicians far and wide.

Retirement dreams postponed

A

s February has turned now into March, so ends the annual barrage of advertisements from financial institutions that urge Canadians to contribute to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan and then reap the immediate tax savings. Most of us likely turn the page or zap through those ads. We’ve got enough on our plates already, with rising fuel prices, the most expensive housing in the country, and making plans for summer vacation. Sure the tax break we get for

contributing to an RRSP is nice, but who’s really thinking 20 or 30 years down the road when that money could be used toward a new plasma TV today? We all should. As it stands, the money deducted from our paycheques for the Canada Pension Plan won’t go very far to sustain a middle class lifestyle by the time we retire. In fact, there are doubts whether the national pension plan itself can survive the approaching huge bubble of retiring baby boomers.

Just ask workers in France, Germany, Spain and England, who’ve seen their government pension plans so depleted, they’re now being told they’ll have to work a few years longer before they can claim what is rightfully theirs. Many of those countries have been crippled by strikes and protests as workers ponder a future when they’ll be lucky to enjoy Freedom 75 rather than Freedom 55. And don’t think your employer’s private plan will make

up the difference. For years some companies have been whittling benefits or deferring their share of contributions to tide them through tough times, or make their books look better. Most Canadian workers spend their employment lives looking forward to the day they’ll no longer have to answer to a boss and punch a clock. But the dream of languid afternoons on the golf course, cross country trips in the RV, extended travels to Europe, is becoming more remote.

Belittling tuition hike impact no way to start ‘family first’ gov’t

J

ust when the provincial government starts eking out a new good-guy/girl image, they spew some idiotic sentiment and my world makes sense again. As post-secondary students from across B.C. rallied at the legislature building Wednesday, the government issued a press release that explained away the two per cent tuition increase being protested as nothing more than the “equivalent of buying one less cup of coffee each week.” Then MLAs trotted outside, patted the students on their heads, and told them to bugger off. Fine, that last part didn’t actual-

ly happen, but it may as well have. And if I wasn’t feeling so generous with the onslaught of spring weather, I’d say it’s proof positive the Liberals are still unable to relate to anyone other than the typical upper middle class hipreplacement-patient— new family-first regime or not. Thing is, if they weren’t so busy being dismissive, they’d acknowledge, tuition increases amount to a lot more than $90 a year, or a cup of really cheap coffee a week.

This year’s two per

KATHARTIC cent is the latest in a

long line of hikes, and tuition has actually gone up by 200 per cent since the provincial Liberal’s got into power. For students who Kathy grew up in families that Michaels can’t subsidize their education—which is increasingly the norm—higher learning is quickly becoming prohibitive and that’s not a condition any fit government should want to foster. Worse yet, however, is that members of the government aren’t that

bright, regardless of the fact that most of them likely benefited from a cheap, high-quality education. One needn’t stretch far into Canada’s history to realize using epicurean analogies as a means to douse rational dialogue isn’t the best way forward. Anyone remember the beer and popcorn episode from 2005? “Don’t give people 25 bucks a week to blow on beer and popcorn,” said Scott Reid, Paul Martin’s director of communications. “Give them child-care spaces that work. Stephen Harper’s plan has nothing to do with child care.” While it sounded like a strong ar-

gument to me, the Conservatives puffed up their chests and people got worked up at the idea the government didn’t believe they were fit to deal with their own finances. It wasn’t the case, as anyone who likes popcorn and beer knows, but it painted the old-school party as highfalootin’ and unable to relate to common families. Even after apologies were issued, the image continued to dog the party. Not a good precedent for B.C.’s Libs to follow—maybe even tasteless.

▼ CODDLED YOUTH

Grandkids are old before they’re grown To the editor: Remember when you were a kid growing up, 55 or 65 years ago? (A lifetime.) God, we were so full of piss and vinegar, were we not? Parents had a time to get us in after the street lights came on, made us sit at all meals and eat everything on the plate, vegetables included. We were in bed exhausted by 8:30 after running and jumping the whole day. With only one parent working there was always someone home to give you a hug and a cookie after school. We all walked to school, home for lunch and walked back for the afternoon classes. I recall my public school was nine blocks away. This was before chip and pop machines were allowed into schools. No fast food joints to spend our lunch hour, we ate nutritious foods. Who of us had money anyway? I loved school sports, playground activity and the odd supervised house party. We were always on the run, we were in great shape. In public school, I recall just three fat kids and in high school there were only a half dozen or so. Our parents were not poor nor were they middle class, we all found jobs to help out. Families lived mostly in harmony. Most of us finished high school and found exciting jobs awaiting us—police, nursing, teaching, forestry, military, sales, retail, government, etc. All

that was required was to finish Grade 10. I joined the Royal Canadian Navy and saw the world, missing the conflict with Korea and Cyprus. We married and raised our children wishing them a happy life as we had. As we aged our jobs became more secure, promotions bought better homes. We taught our children to be street wise, keep your wits about you. Before many of us hit 50 years of age had paid off the mortgage. Our children were grown and some had flown the coop. It wasn’t long before we became grandparents. We were all mostly healthy in our generation and once hitting 65 our bodies started to get tired, some parts didn’t work too good, some of our minds got foggy. We started to pick up old age diseases, dementia, diabetes, blindness, heart problems and the dreaded “C”. Soon you started to hear of friends passing on. We had become today’s seniors. Saying all this about baby boomers being healthy and fit all our lives, eating proper foods, dieting, exercising and making a family, the national health budget for Canada is over 45 per cent? Let us take today’s children, 13 years of age or more. Temptation galore! Fast food joints, various chip and pop machines in all

▼ JUSTICE

Alternatives to jail, like ‘drug courts’ must be used To the editor: Why are we thinking of building a new prison in the Okanagan? Prisons keep addicts off the street, but do little more than that. Drug courts, by contrast, focus on teaching addicts how to stay clean and how to do things others take for granted. A national survey by

The Urban Institute, a “think tank,” found that drug courts reduce crime and the costs of incarceration. For this reason drug courts are winning plaudits across the political spectrum. Prison has a punitive as well as a rehabilitative aspect and some have been cool to drug courts for that reason, seeing them as

coddling criminals. But criminals will eventually return to society. Better they return well-adjusted rather than hardened and still addicted. In any event, such schemes not only help the participant but save money. Carl Ignatius Archer, Kelowna

schools. They all have money, cell phones and what else I’m not familiar with. Not many students walk to school, they are driven or bused. With both parents working there’s no pleasure coming home, no one to greet them to give them a hug. You never see children playing on the streets or school yards, drive by any residential area on the weekend and you will be lucky to see any out playing. Where are the little darlings? We hear and read concerns on the rise of diabetes, alcoholism, AIDS, depression, suicides, heart and drug problems, for the under-19 year olds—problems old age people have. Drive by any high school and you will see them standing near the grounds smoking, a few you will no doubt notice are obese. We all know this is the way it is but hate to admit it, could this be our grandchild? No, it has to be someone else’s. The big question I want to ask and think about is: What will be the national health budget in 25 years? We seniors of today will all be long gone, leaving our children as grandparents and seniors. It should boggle your mind! Wayne Harris, Kelowna

Testing now humane To the editor: In response to Kathy Michaels’ March 11 column on animal testing, someone should flip the light switch for her regarding the latest advancements of animal-free research. Kathy won’t have to fill out a form as she did as a child to request an animal cruelty info pack. We can all use the Internet in this modern age to understand how advancements are being made in animalfree product testing. Titling her column

Adulthood Sheds Light On Other Side Of Childhood Beliefs might be remedially “Kathartic” but belittles, and not in a respectful way, the efforts of a new breed of scientist that questions the ethics and reliability of animal testing being done at prestigious research centres such as, for example, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland Medical school. Ian MacQuarrie, Kelowna

How will Sun football club changes make it better? To the editor: Don’t really know how the Okanagan Sun got better. (Sun Call on Casey, March 9 Capital News.) They have the exact same coordinators and lost three great assistants in the process. They have replaced them with student coaches that have been coached by Howie (Sun GM Howie Zaron) in the past. They may have a future in coaching but right now they will be mentoring under the current staff. Championship staff? Also the defensive coordinator has to double up on duties as the head coach so you can’t tell me the defense won’t be affected by this. I know Jason he is a good defen-

seive coordinator. Can he do both? Time will tell. He said he hadn’t been on the road recruiting in two years so I guess that’s not a concern. Since this whole thing (firing coach Pete McCall, Sun Coaching Change Tied to Recruiting, Feb. 18 Capital News) has been about recruiting. Bill Long said: “The coach that we hire, having success and winning championships in the past with other teams is going to be a huge plus for them.” Don’t know if Jason won a AA High School Championship with Okanagan Mission Secondary School, when he coached there, so I cannot comment on his successes. But he contributed in the

shortcomings of the Sun over the past three years. With two head coaches. So, a little confused. For Howie to say that Pete McCall doesn’t have the “social skills” to talk to young men—he’s a high school teacher and does it everyday. Seriously! Coming from a guy who texts and emails and puts a “!” to show that he is serious. Don’t think he will be teaching any communications classes in the near future. If there actually was some CIS experienced coaches, with all that’s gone on in the last four weeks, to promote the same people that have been or had a stake in not getting over the hump is complete insanity. Good luck with that

championship the GM has guaranteed. There are two types of people that guarantee championships: They are fools and people that have never won one

before and don’t understand the dynamics of winning one. So Jason, no pressure! Mike Crumb, Sun and CFL alumnus

their patrol cars, allowing them to run a software program to collect and analyze information on the spot. They can look at a single incident or the big picture to spot trends and assess risk. Prior to the mobile program, hand-written reports were prepared at the end of a long day, which could sometimes be difficult to read for clients. Now, wireless Internet is used to connect to

the system and reports are prepared on laptops, directly from the vehicle. However, the real power of the software program is the ability it gives commissionaires to mine data in order to spot trends and address them right away. “This new software is bringing a whole new dimension to the way we do business,” said Darrel O’Shaughnessy, manager of the southern Interior for Commissionaires B.C. “In the past, we would

collect information and provide written reports. “Collecting data is one thing, but understanding what it is telling you is another. “With this software, patterns and trends become immediately apparent and we can apply what we learn to current and future security issues. “For example, we can use the trending aspect of the software to identify trouble spots, such as which washrooms in

which parks are attracting unwanted attention. “We now have more flexibility and precision in how we secure Kelowna parks than we’ve ever had before.” The system was developed by Edmonton-based PPM 2000. Commissionaires B.C. is the first company to be running PPM 2000 software in patrol cars on laptops, in PPM2000’s 23year history. The two organizations

worked together to develop the mobile application. Along with the mobile version, Commissionaires B.C. has also been using the PPM 2000 software at their detachment at the Kelowna International Airport since December 2009. The database is also used at the airport to identify trends. For instance, by searching the database commissionaires can determine which days, and times of day, baggage is most likely to be left unattended. The airport can adapt by making more public

announcements during these times, or increase personnel in the baggage claims area. “Prior to using PPM2000 we would have to dig up the paper files and spend hours of time going through them to uncover the pattern. Now it’s so quick and easy to query the database and see the history of incidents,” said O’Shaughnessy. Commissionaires B.C.’s Okanagan division is the first in the national organization to be using PPM 2000 and mobile patrols, but they don’t expect to be the only ones for much longer.

▼ POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION

Closing the gap on shortfall of science and math aspirants

T

his year has been deemed the Year of Science by British Columbia’s government. I was reminded of that several times recently, as late as Thursday. Walking through the atrium of Okanagan College’s Centre for Learning as School District 23 officials were setting up for the regional science fair, I was captivated by the names of the experiments and demonstrations that students were going to be bringing to the fair. It’s obvious that there is still a great deal of curiosity among younger students for the physics, biology and chemistry that make things work, that drive things such as Xboxes and volcanoes. But somewhere between that elementary and high school interest in science and enrolments in post-secondary education, there’s an issue. Some of that student interest evaporates like dry ice. The result is not as many students as there should be pursue science, technology and technical education in their postsecondary studies. It’s one of the reasons

SCHOOL’S IN

Allan Coyle that the provincial government has invested to promote science this year. Industry, educators and innovators have sounded the warning bell about the disconnect between the need for people with these skills and knowledge and the numbers who are responding to the opportunity. Yes, for some programs there is a great deal of interest. Civil engineering technology and university engineering programs are examples of that. But for others—computer information systems, for example, or network and telecommunications engineering technology—the interest levels fall short of current and predicted employer demand. And the demand is woefully short from one particularly important group: Females. Many postulate about

the reasons for the lack of interest in science from girls and young women. Some suggest that there are stereotypes that scare girls away. (Think The Big Bang Theory on television, as an example.) Others say that the sciences aren’t viewed as a destination to find social careers, where you get to work with people. (That’s far from true—ask almost anyone who works in technological fields or in science.) Ignoring the gender gap for a minute, there is an issue we need to address for the long-term health of our economy. Companies like RIM don’t sprout magically— innovation on the technical front requires people with the right skills. A cure for cancer requires biologists, research scientists and lab technicians. The provincial government is not the first agency to step in to promote science and technology as a career pursuit. The Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia have been working with many agencies, organizations and individuals

to get the word out. (One of the reasons they are so supportive with sponsorship of events like Okanagan College’s Spaghetti Bridge competition, Robocup, and math com-

petitions). UBCO, OC, school districts, Science World, even individual companies and firms are stepping up to the plate. We need to take the curiosity that makes sci-

ence fairs so exciting for kids and nurture it, let them see the careers and opportunities that can unfold. If you want to help, and need some raw material to inspire someone

you know, a great place to start is the Year of Science website at www.yearofsciencebc.ca. Allan Coyle is the director of public affairs at Okanagan College.

wrist known as the median nerve. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway that is bound by bones and ligaments. It is located on the palm side of your wrist. Passing through this tunnel is a series of nerves, blood vessels and nine tendons that assist in bending your fingers. Compression of the nerve produces the numbness, pain and eventually the weakness that is characterized by carpal tunnel syndrome. CTS is the most common nerve compression disorder of the upper extremity. It effects one per cent of the general population and five per cent of the working population that requires repetitive use of their hands. Early diagnosis is important in reducing the long-term damage to the nerve involved.

There are simple tests that can be done by your health practitioner to identify this state early on and initiate corrective care measures as soon as possible. Some practitioners will recommend splinting of the wrist during sleep and/or activities, but this is no longer advisable as that step can cause weakness and atrophy of the muscles in the long run. Steroid injections have been shown to provide temporary relief lasting two to four months with only 22 per cent of patients remaining symptom-free 18 months after injection. It is estimated that 45 per cent of all CTS cases undergo surgery in an attempt to reduce the nerve compression. However, one-third of patients continue to experience pain and functional impairment postoperative-

ly, with less than 40 per cent of surgical patients achieving a completely normal functional status. At my clinic, I had great success in treating CTS patients with application of low intensity laser therapy. The treatment is painless, effective and has no side effects. It is a therapy that is curative and not just a form of pain management. The application of this laser has shown a relatively immediate reduction in pain and edema, or swelling. What has made the laser so effective in treating this malady is that the application of this therapy aids in nerve regeneration and repair. No other therapy does that. A randomized double-blind study carried out at General Motors in Detroit, Mich., used this ther-

apy and found that motor improvement of the hand increased considerably, returning strength to the hand. Some 72 per cent of the workers treated with laser returned to work at full capacity compared to 41 per cent of the workers in the control group. A recent study published in Photomedicine and Laser Surgery demonstrated that the application of light therapy in the treatment of CTS found an average of 84 per cent success rate in the 171 cases studied. If you or someone you know is suffering from CTS, note that there are safe and effective forms of treatment available to you. You do not have to suffer.

At the show, I always find something new to buy, whether it is a book a garden ornament or a tool, and this year was no exception.

I’m cleaning up my perennials and cutting down my grasses before too much starts to grow so I don’t damage the little shoots. Even with the cold weather we have experienced up until now, there is a lot of new growth poking through. It will increase exponentially as the season progresses. While it’s still too early to tell if there was any damage to things this winter, I am noticing some “owies” on my English Laurel and Acuba. These plants are not supposed to be hardy here anyway, so I suppose that is what I get for pushing the envelope. This is the time of year to start up the greenhouse.

B.C. rivals to set tone for playoffs Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Not that long ago, fans of the Kelowna Rockets and Vancouver Giants were expecting the final weekend of the regular season to feature a dramatic showdown for top spot in the WHL’s B.C. Division. But a late-season surge by the Rockets combined with a serious March slump by the injury-laden Giants has removed at least some of the intrigue from this weekend’s home-and-home set between the hardened division rivals. The two clubs will battle Friday at Pacific Coliseum before wrapping up the 2010-11 campaign Saturday night at Prospera Place. The Rockets (42-270-1), who have won nine of their last 11 games,

clinched their first division title in seven seasons a week ago in Kamloops. Vancouver (33-311-4), which was just two points out of first place on March 1, has lost seven straight and is now a whopping 14 points in arrears of the Rockets. Still, even with little on the line where the standings are concerned, Kelowna head coach Ryan Huska expects plenty of intensity to surface between the longtime foes. In addition, the Giants are expecting the return of their captain and 43-goal scorer Brendan Gallagher who has missed the last five games with a concussion. “(The Giants) have been in a situation where they’ve had a rash of injuries, they haven’t had a lot of luck, but they’re still a good, hardworking hockey team,” said Huska.

“They’re going to want to make sure they’re playing the right way heading into the playoffs, and the same can be said for us… we need to be at our best going into the playoffs. I look for both teams to come out and play hard.” “As for Gallagher, he’s their best player,” added Huska, “and they’re a much better team with him in the lineup.” In addition to setting the proper tone for playoffs, the Rockets are looking to rebound from a lackluster effort in a 5-0 loss to the Seattle Thunderbirds on Wednesday night in Kelowna. Huska said this is the wrong time of year for his team to be taking nights off. “Our guys played against Seattle like they just weren’t interested,” he said. “The frustrating part is that they were play-

ing so well as a team up until that game. “It’s not a concern but it is disappointing because you don’t want to see those habits creeping in at this time of year. This is a challenge to our leadership group to get back to the kind of game we know we can play.” The Rockets—the second seed thanks to finishing first in B.C.— will host the seventh-place finisher in the Western Conference for the opening round of the playoffs. Everett, Prince George and Seattle are all in the running as possible opponents. Games 1 and 2 will be played Friday, March 25 and Saturday, March 26 at Prospera Place. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

BCHL season comes to an early close for Westside Warriors Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Having been stretched to seven games in the first round of the B.C. Hockey League playoffs, the Westside Warriors succumbed to the Vernon Vipers in six games in the second round. The Warriors lost the final two games of the series, including 2-1 at home on Tuesday night, as the Vipers advanced to the BCHL Interior Confer-

ence final against Salmon Arm. “We’re a pretty deep team but seven games against Trail and then we had some injuries and a suspension,” said Warriors coach DarrenYopyk. “Our conference is very strong, the strongest in Canada I believe, and some good teams have to lose. Unfortunately we grabbed the losing stick but I’m proud of our guys.” Five Warriors will graduate from junior

hockey including captain Alex Grieve and forwards Kyle Singleton and Quinn Gould, a trio that has been together for most of three years. Local product Tyler French and Matt Maher are also finished as 20-year-olds. “Those five guys are going to be missed,” said Yopyk. “I told them that West Kelowna and the Warriors organization are better for what they have done for this team and this community.”

A total of 13 Warriors players have NCAA scholarship commitments but, along with the 20-year-olds, just three of the players will be gone next year for sure, said Yopyk as Grayson Downing, Tyler Brickler and Tom Kroshus will begin college hockey careers. That leaves 15 players eligible to return next year. “The loss still hurts but a program is about a lot of things,” said Yopyk. “I thought we played pretty

good all year, battled hard and provided entertainment. When you have 13 guys with scholarships, that’s what our league is about. I think all of our guys got better as players and as people.” Salmon Arm and Vernon begin their best of seven Interior Conference final on Friday night while Surrey and Powell River will meet in the Coastal Conference final, also beginning Friday.

Kelowna’s Joyce bronze in men’s sprint Kelowna’s Keefer Joyce proved age is no barrier when it comes to competing with the province’s top sprinters. Joyce, 17, won the bronze medal in the 50 metre event in men’s open category at the Harry Jerome indoor track meet last weekend. Joyce gained special permission to move up an age group from the youth division.

Dennis Nicolas won the race in 6.16 seconds, while Joyce took third in 6.22 in a group of older, more experienced runners. Four other local athletes competed at the meet held at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Adele Joyce won the silver medal in the youth women’s (16-17) 50 metre dash in 7.11 seconds. Elisa Joyce cap-

tured the bronze medal in the youth women’s 400 metres in 1:01.9. In the youth men’s 50 metre dash, Henry Yang was sixth in 6.49 seconds, while Cody Hutton took 10th in 6.79. All five Kelowna athletes are coached by Brandt Fralick. Upcoming events for this group includes meets at UBC and SFU over the next four weeks.

Promising national debut for Heat rugby After a tough opening day, the UBC Okanagan Heat men managed to hold their own against some of the country’s top varsity teams at the National Sevens University Rugby Championship. The Heat—playing in its first ever nationals in rugby—posted a 1-5 overall record to finish sixth in the eight-team tourney last weekend in Vancouver. On the first day of competition, the Heat learned some hard lessons losing 22-0 to University of Calgary, 29-7 to U Vic, and 29-5 to McMaster. But on the second day, the Heat came close against the Western Mustangs before losing in the final minute 17-14. Chris

Hill and Sean Kelman scored tries Later in the day, the Heat picked up their first win, 24-7 over Mount Royal thanks to two tries apiece from Judah Campbell and David-James Pauls. UBCO closed out against the U of C and put forth a much improved effort over the first meeting between the teams. The Heat led in the late stages but again a try in the final minute gave Calgary a 1714 win. Liam Chisholm and Barak Pauls scored tries in the loss. Heat coach Rob O’Brien believes his club belongs at the national level with Canada’s established programs.

“I think we performed well enough to prove that we can compete at the top level of rugby in Canada,” said O’Brien. “We were one minute away from being ranked in the top four nationally by our performance this weekend as the team that just beat us in the final minute (Western) finished second. Our performance was much better than the sixth place finish we formally ended up with.” O’Biren added that the future of rugby looks bright for the new program at UBC, the Heat was the youngest and least experienced team, with the majority of players being under 20 years old.

This will be the only B.C. team home game played outside the Lower Mainland. CORE president Doug Manning sees this as a great opportunity for the region. “This enables local rugby fans and people new to the game to see the best of Canadian rugby,” said

Manning. “Some people will be surprised to see the speed and creativity of the game. We believe that, by hosting this game in Kelowna, more athletes will be attracted to the 15’s, 7’s, or touch rugby programs we are offering in the region.” Tickets for the game will go on sale in late

Falcons sign four new players from UBC Chiefs new B.C. champions The Kelowna Falcons have announced the signing of four players from the University of British Columbia. The foursome will be the first UBC players to join the Falcons since 2008 when John Syrnyk and Bob Foerster played in Kelowna. Syrnyk has graduated and Foerster is now a senior. The new recruits from UBC are Infielders Andrew Firth and Keaton Briscoe along with outfielder Blake Carruthurs and pitcher David Otterman. Firth is a corner infielder from London, Ontario who was one of the

best offensive threats for the Thunderbirds last season. He hit .351 with 46 hits, seven doubles, three homeruns and 24 RBIs. Firth is just a sophomore

in 2011 and will look to help the T-Birds improve upon their 41 win season last year. In 53 games in 2010 Briscoe hit .342 in 184 at

bats. He recorded 63 hits, nine doubles, three homeruns and 35 RBIs with an on base percentage of .446. Briscoe, from North Vancouver, is also just a sophomore in 2011 and can play both spots in the middle infield. Carruthers was also relied upon to put up big offensive numbers for the T-Birds last season. The Calgary native hit .335 with 59 hits as a freshman in 2010. He tallied nine doubles, two triples, seven homeruns and 35 RBIs, with a slugging percentage of .528. The outfielder also recorded 11 stolen bases and had an on base percentage of .443 with

93 total bases in 52 games played. On the bump in 2010, Otterman finished 1-0 in 13 appearances with a 2.21 ERA. The big lefty from Coquitlam was primarily used out of the pen and recorded 20.1 innings pitched and 18 strike outs. He held the opposition to just a .203 batting average and will look to do the same this summer in Kelowna. The Falcons begin play June 3 in Bellingham before their home opener June 10 versus Langley. Tickets for the 2011 baseball season are available now by calling 250763-4100.

The Kelowna Chiefs struck gold last weekend at the B.C. provincial ringette championships held in Burnaby and New Westminster. The Chiefs captured the Open (18+) title in the B division with a 10-7 win over Burnaby/New West in Sunday’s final game. Kelowna grabbed the lead with seven minutes left in the game and never looked back. The Chiefs also defeated Surrey/White Rock 11-2, tied Burnaby/New West 3-3, beat Fraser Valley 12-6 and downed Surrey White Rock again in the semifinal 11-3. Kelowna outscored its opponents 57-21 at the tournament. Taylor Pomponio led

the Chiefs attack with 12 goals and 10 assists for 22 points, while Jordee Ossachuk had 13 goals and four assists during provincials. Vanessa Zilkie and Vanessa Cross had 17 points each. Mel Brown and Gabby Descoteaux shared the goaltending duties. The provincial champion Chiefs are: Catherine Brown, Jordee Ossachuk, Vanessa Cross, Nat Stewart, Vanessa Zilkie, Kirsten Burnett, Taylor Pomponio, Holly Langlois, Jenna Millsap, Anika Engelen, Melia Moorhouse, Lauren Evans, Gabby Descoteaux, Mel Brown, Brittany Watts and Nicole Martini.

He went on to pick up a second gold medal on Tuesday, March 8 in the Junior Male Pursuit Race, also a 6 km race with three rounds of shooting. His pursuit time was 28:17.4. After a devastating first day for 18-year-old Jasper, when his rifle froze under the difficult snowy and cold weather conditions, he won a gold medal Tuesday in the Senior Male Pursuit Race, a 7.5 km race with four rounds of shooting. He finished with a time of 32:46.6. Both brothers received the highest awards possible for their category in the National Cadet Biathlon Championship. The Nikki Keddie award was given to Carson for the junior male cadet with the highest cumulative aggregates from his individual races. The Myriam BĂŠdard award was given to Jasper, for a second year in a row, for the youth category male cadet with the highest cumulative aggregates from his individual races. The brothers have been training in biathlon for several years with Telemark Biathlon Club in Kelowna and aspire to compete in the Olympics. “I want to thank my coach, Rob Swan, and my family for their continuous support,â€? Carson said during an interview just after the Pursuit Race. Biathlon is a sport that combines two separate disciplines; traditionally, these are cross-country skiing and shooting. Competitors complete a round of shooting after each lap on the course. The challenge of biathlon is to be a quick and accurate shooter under conditions of aerobic stress.

Kids can find their artistic side during spring break Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

There are starfish and photographs, Play-Dohstyle heads and some moldy bread. For the kids who will spend their spring break in the Kelowna Art Gallery though, there’s mostly just plenty of inspiration. From the celebrated painter John Kissick to the Art in Action annual display of Okanagan middle and high school students’ work, the five to 12 year olds who attend Art Break this year are in for a treat. “We try to offer a bit of a sampling of sculpture, drawing, painting, but also things like mixed media which are a little bit more free,” said Renée Burgess, head of public programming for the gallery. The camp is divided into two different oneweek sessions. The first,

for five to eight year olds, is full, but the second, for eight to 12 yearolds, still has room for parents to register. The students will definitely look through and learn about the professional art featured in the gallery, Burgess said some of the most inspiring pieces will likely be in the Art in Action section where students just a little older than those in the second camp have had their work selected for display. “It’s one of our most popular shows,” said Burgess, in an interview held between the paintings and photos and sculpture pieces of the Art in Action show. “I think it’s so important for the kids to see work done by their peers,” she added, noting the display includes work selected by each art teacher in the district and offers the

younger kids topics they understand from kids in close proximity to their own world. With the two-week break, it can be difficult to get kids interested in activities outside video games and television, so the short courses are aimed at stimulating the students’ natural creativity, making art fun and worth drawing on as a source of things to do, even after the camp has ended. “Encouraging children’s creativity and showing them how rewarding actively participating in the visual arts can be is our focus,” said Burgess. “It’s a great place for children and their friends to do something together

during Spring Break.” Day camps are being held Monday to Friday during the weeks of March 21-25, and March 28-April 1. Cost per day for registration is $55 for members and $70 for non-members. Register for any four classes and receive the fifth class free. For more information or to register, call the Kelowna Art Gallery at 250-762-2226. And for the parents in the crowd there are always things happening at the gallery. Lectures, workshops, guided tours of exhibitions, and many other art activities are available year-round for people of all ages. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

MICHAEL FLATLEY’S Lord of the Dance 3D is showing this week at the Grand 10 Cinemas and the Capitol Theatre. However he must keep taking the drug or else suffer from its brutal side effects, which include dodging mysterious stalkers, a vicious gangster and an intense police investigation. Also starring Robert DeNiro, Limitless is rated PG with violence, sexually suggestive scenes and coarse language. Matthew McConaughey plays a Los Angeles criminal defence attorney who operates out of the back of his Lincoln sedan in Lincoln Lawyer. He has spent most of his career defending garden variety criminals until he lands the case of his career: defending a Beverly Hills playboy accused of rape and attempted murder. But this seemingly straightforward case

suddenly develops into a deadly game of survival. Already getting positive reviews, Lincoln Lawyer boasts a strong supporting cast including Ryan Phillipe, Marisa Tomei, William H. Macy, Josh Lucas and John Leguizamo. Classified 14A with a warning of sexual violence. A review for the new sci-fi comedy Paul gives us a new genre of movie: geeksploitation. And that was a negative review. One of the positive reviews calls it a funny remake of E.T. for notquite-grown-ups. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) are a pair of sci-fi geeks who encounter an alien on an insane road trip through America’s UFO heartland.

Directed by Superbad’s Greg Mottola, it also stars Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader (Saturday Night Live), Jason Bateman (Couples Retreat, Hancock) and Seth Rogen as the voice of Paul. Rated 14A for coarse language. This week the West Kelowna Film Series is featuring Barney’s Version, winner of seven Genie Awards including Best Actor (Paul Giamatti), Best Supporting Actor (Dustin Hoffman) and Best Supporting Actress (Minnie Driver). It shows Thursday, March 24 at 7 p.m. and is rated PG for coarse language and sexually suggestive scenes. Rick Davis manages the Capitol Theatre. capitol_wes@ landmarkcinemas.ca

out back. Why the wood theme? The apple wood is not only for display—it is used as fuel for the big, beautiful wood fire oven that is the foundation of this eatery. Offering up a wide array of wood fire oven baked breads every day (don’t miss Sascha’s Crown, the to-die-for potato bread, or the spelt bread—both have built a cult following) De Bakker’s is open for lunch and dinner. The simply delicious lunch menu features homemade soups, salads, sandwiches plus a daily feature. Everything that can be made in the

dreamy wood fire oven, is. From caramelizing onions, roasting apples to slow roasting whole chickens and pork shoulders, this is a fantasy oven for all chefs and foodies. The apple wood imparts its own depth and flavour to dishes, and the high heat of this Old World fire breather allows Sandy to either cook things quickly (90 seconds for a perfect pizza) or when the fire is out, to slow cook a pork shoulder for pulled pork (12 hours). I love everything that I have tasted on the menu. Eat in or to go, they have a freezer display full of a wide array of soups to take away.

After 5 p.m. wood fire pizza becomes the menu focus. With an array to choose from, we ordered the special pulled pork pizza to go. OMG. This is seriously fabulous pie. Self taught, Sandy experimented with pizza dough before settling on this perfect recipe. A fan of traditional Nepalese pizza, Sandy wanted to make a local version. Ours was topped with homemade barbecue sauce, pulled pork, carmelized onions, roasted apples, mozzarella cheese, Asiago cheese and a hint of rosemary. The crust is perfectly See Schell A29

Flexible leadership improves decision-making process T here has been much written about leadership styles, but sometimes it is hard to understand which strategy is the best one. The reality is that no single approach works all the time. The most successful leaders are flexible and able to draw on different styles as needed. In order to do that, you need to first understand your current leadership style.

WORK LIFE

Laurie Mills Are you the boss who tells everyone what to do all the time? Or are you someone who gives little direction or feedback to your team? Likely you’re some-

where in between these two extremes. Whichever way you naturally lean when you’re in charge of others, why not stretch yourself and try out different approaches? Adapting your leadership style can make a big difference in achieving the results you need. Let me expand on this suggestion by offering a blended model of four leadership styles—Tell, Sell, Consult/Collaborate

and Delegate. Looking at how each of these is used in decision-making will demonstrate how they work best. First, the Tell approach is very useful when you, as a manager, have already been told what to do and need to make sure it gets done. In certain business situations where urgent action is required, the Tell style is a viable option. When you explain to your team why the out-

come is already set and give them clear directions on what needs to get done, they are likely to be more cooperative. The Sell style of leadership is effective when buy-in and support for a decision is needed. This works in a situation where you have already made up your mind on an issue but you need to have your team on board in order to move forward. It requires a balance of

communicating your idea and decision clearly, explaining what you expect to happen and then asking for your team’s support. The third leadership style involves Consulting and/or Collaborating with others. This works well when you have a general vision of what you want and need more outside input to help refine the idea. For instance, you may ask others for their creative ideas, another “set of eyes� to see if something is missing or simply a reality check to figure out if your idea is even feasible. This style draws people deeper into the process but still leaves the final decision with the leader. The fourth and final style is Delegating. There will be times when you know your team can make decisions without your direction because they have the expertise, confidence and resources to do so. This leadership approach requires you to

clarify expected outcomes, confirm understanding of those and then turn it over to the team to figure out how to get there. Of course, you will want to check in on their progress periodically and provide any support they may require. When it comes to important decision-making, each of these leadership styles can be effective. The trick is to find out which one best fits the situation and your particular team. You won’t always get it right and that’s OK. Becoming a better leader takes a lot of practice. Laurie Mills is a certified coach and human resource professional.

Street sweeping is well underway in Kelowna and crews are hoping residents can help them get the work done properly. Residents are asked to watch for signs alerting them to street cleaning operations and to keep their vehicles and basketball hoops off streets wherever possible so that the sweepers can fully clean the street in one pass. If it rains, sweeping is

postponed until road conditions dry out. City forces, together with hired contractors, rid the streets of sand applied during the winter season to keep streets safe. Sweepers will be operating 20 hours a day cleaning a total of 1,600lane kilometers, including bike lanes. Visit kelowna.ca/transportation for more information.

Wrangler gets more style inside without compromising off-road ability Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

THE FOUR-DOOR, five-passenger Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon is now more quiet and comfortable on the inside, but has maintained its legendary off-road ability.

Wrangler! Even the name sounds as tough as nails. More so than, say, Santa Fe, Pilot, Sportage or Forester. I’ve always wanted to spend time in this off-road legend. Sure, it’s a bit of a gas guzzler, also known for its choppy ride, noisy interior, and being anything but light on its feet. But that’s pretty much what I’d expect from arguably the best off-road vehicle in its price range. And possibly the best at any price. A truck can’t be all

things to all people, but if you want a quiet cabin, pillowy ride and sports sedan handling, there are plenty of comfy crossovers and sport utilities that blend around-town civility with the ability to handle a few muddy cottage roads. The Wrangler is more purpose-built. Recently named Best 4x4 of the Decade by Four Wheeler magazine, it may not be the ideal city cruiser, but it can crawl over rocks and logs, tackle gnarly inclines and ford rivers that would swallow most CUVs, SUVs and pickups.

Your best source of community news—the Capital News—now with video on www.kelownacapnews.com

Unless, of course, their owners have spent thousands of dollars on performance and suspension upgrades. But the Wrangler comes trail rated right out of the box. This Jeep designation means the vehicle has been tested for serious off road ability in these key areas: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording. And you can get one for the price of an entry-level car—the base Sport model starts out at $19,345. The top-of-theline Unlimited Rubicon begins at $31,245. All told, there are six trim levels: Sport, Sahara and Rubicon—the two-door Wranglers— and their three Unlimited (four-door) counterparts. All can be optioned up with a long list of dealer parts and accessories. The base two-door, at less than twenty grand, may be light on creature comforts, but is at home on the trail. Its few amenities include cruise control and a six-speaker audio system, but no air, no power locks, no power windows. It does, however, come standard with CommandTrac four-wheel-drive: a proven part-time, shift-onthe-fly, two-speed system with 2.7:1 low-range gear ratio. And like all Wranglers, it also gets stamped steel skid plates for the fuel tank, transfer case and automatic transmission oil pan (if equipped with an autobox). These protect the “guts” of the vehicle. Front and rear tow hooks are also standard. And on the safety and handling front, it receives hill start assist, electronic stability control with brake assist, all-speed traction control, electronic roll mitigation and brake lock differentials The Wrangler suspension is a five-link coil setup with tuned shock absorbers. All models, except the Rubicon, get Dana 30 solid front axles. The more extreme Rubicon models get the Dana 44 heavy-duty. In back, all models See Jeep B3

Wrangler meant for off-road Jeep from B2 are equipped with Dana 44 heavy-duty solid rear axles. The Rubicon Unlimited, my tester for the week, was equipped with RockTrac instead of the Command Trac system. This durable two-speed partfour-wheel-drive rtime transfer case features a torquier 4:1 low-range gear ratio, which is even better for steep ascents and desrcents, rock crawling and tin slow-speed turns. Also part of the package are Tru-Lok electronic rfront and rear differentials, electronic sway bar disconnect (for more wheel travel) and the heavierduty front axles. Rugged body-mounted rock rails tprovide added underbody protection. Ground clearance is tanother Wrangler strongpoint, and depending on the tire/wheel combination, you get a best-inclass clearance of 259 mm (10.2 inches), and best-inclass approach angle (44.3 degrees) and departure angle (40.4 degrees). The engine for all is a 3.8-litre OHV 12-valve rV6 engine producing 202 hp and 237 lb/ft of torque tvia a standard six-speed manual gearbox or available four-speed automatic. The numbers may

r

seem on the low side for a two-ton-plus vehicle, but the 3.8 offers enough grunt for any off-road situation. And on the asphalt, it will get the Wrangler up to speed in reasonable time. Passing at highway speeds, however, is not particularly brisk. Unlimited models also get an 85-litre fuel tank, which is a good thing as this powerplant is thirsty. It may be rated at 14.5/10.0 litres per 100 km (city/hwy), but my combined fuel economy was closer to 17.0—mostly urban, and with some on the trail. Later this fall, the new 3.6-litre Pentastar V6, which delivers 290 horse-

power and 260 lb/ft torque in the Grand Cherokee, will be available on the 2012 Wrangler. One of the reasons I like this vehicle is its ability to go topless. Depending on trim and option group, you can choose from either the Freedom Top removable hard top, or the Sunrider soft top. The first comes in three pieces: driver’s side, passenger side and rear, and each panel can be removed individually. The soft top, which is constructed from a three-ply watertight material, folds down and can be tucked away. My tester was equipped with the Dual

look with added soft-touch materials, chrome and metallic accents, better ergonomics and available features like twotoned (heated) leather seating. Top Group, which for $2,075 offers both. Due to the crappy winter weather, I opened neither, but when things warm up, I’ll have this vehicle out again and, trust me, the Freedom Top will spend most of the week in the garage. The big news this year for all Chrysler products is the vastly improved interiors. And despite its utilitarian roots, the Wrangler was not shortchanged. It received a redesigned instrument panel with chrome accents, more soft touch materials, the availability of heated leather seats, new storage areas and improved ergonomics. The “Jeep, Since

During the week after the switch to Daylight Savings Time, we see at least a 23-per-cent increase in road crashes due to driver fatigue. Drivers lose an hour of sleep and this reduces response time behind the wheel. Crashes that involve sleepy drivers sit in the No. 2 spot of all reported crashes. However, these crashes are often under-reported as many drivers don’t want to admit to falling asleep behind the wheel after having crashed. Crashes that do involve drowsy drivers represent 6.5 per cent of all reported crashes in Canada, on average. Drivers who crash after falling asleep tend to have serious, life-threatening injuries mostly because they are not able to prepare themselves for the collision. If you are feeling tired and you are driving, you are at risk and so are the other road users around you. Young people are especially at risk, as are those

who tend to stay up late and drive during the night hours. Drowsy driving also affects shift workers as well as people with untreated sleep disorders. Most crashes that involve sleepy drivers happen between midnight and 6 a.m. Warning Signs: 1. If you can’t stop yawning or can’t keep your eyes open – pull over and don’t drive! 2. If you find you are driving, but don’t remember the last few blocks – pull over and don’t drive! 3. If you find concentrating on the road difficult and find your vehicle is drifting in and out of the correct lane – pull over and don’t drive! Many people assume they can just drink a cup of coffee and that will help wake them up. However, it might take a half hour or so for the caffeine to take effect and even that amount of caffeine won’t last long. If you drink coffee daily, you are less likely to feel the effect of the caffeine when you are feeling this sleepy.

But hit a rough road and you’re quickly reminded of its Jeepness. The clutch, with its long travel, and the long throw shifter are other reminders that you’re driving a truck. Still, it’s a compromise many can live with, as demonstrated by the many Wranglers (both two- and four-door) that you see on the road today. And in the Unlimited, which offers abundant knee and headroom in back, not to mention comfortable seating, the whole family can enjoy the sport of open-air off roading. And with room enough for all your gear.

Opening the window for a second helps but once you close it again, you are back where you started. The best way to alleviate sleepy driving is to simply STOP DRIVING. What can you do to keep yourself out of this dangerous situation? Plan ahead. If you know you are going to be out late and are concerned you won’t be safe to drive, have someone pick you up. If you are driving and you experience any of the above signs, pull over on a safe part of the road. Park your car and sleep for 20 minutes. You might just need to find a place to sleep for the night to keep everyone on the roads, including yourself, safe. Watch how you react to the change to daylight savings hours this week and for several weeks afterward because it can take two to three weeks or more for your body to adjust to the new time!

1941” inlays (with large hex bolts) are another nice touch. Standard steeringwheel controls operate the radio, cruise control, hands-free phone and other functions. There’s also an available Media Centre ($1,200), which includes Bluetooth streaming audio; hands-free texting; voice command of the radio and MP3 player and Garmin navigation system. Combine all this with the improved sound deadening, which makes the Wrangler downright quiet for a Jeep, and you have an interior that approaches the comforts of an SUV.

Kia’s full size Sedona minivan carries seven in style Jim Robinson

inside a standard garage. In that the Sedona is almost a perfect fit at 5.10 mm (202 in) long, 1,985 mm (78.1 in) wide with a wheelbase of 3,020 mm (118.9 in). The relatively long wheelbase means more room in the back. There are 912 litres (32,2 cu ft) of cargo room behind the third row seats, 2,268 litres (80.1 cu ft) with the third row seats folded flat and a full 4,007 litres (141.5 cu ft) with the second and third row seats flat. Another area where a minivan shines in comparison to a full-size SUV is, of course, fuel economy that is especially important as gasoline prices creep up towards $1.25/ litre at this writing. The Sedona is powered by a 3.5-litre allaluminum V6 producing 271 hp and 248 lb/ft of torque driving the front wheels through Kia’s own six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission with sequential manual shift mode.

CONTRIBUTOR

The king of the road just a decade ago, the minivan has slipped in popularity, but don’t think for a second it is going away. There will always be a need for a full-size, seven- or eight-seat vehicle that combines passenger comfort with utility. For that, a minivan can’t be beat. Chrysler/Dodge, Honda, Toyota and Nissan are all in the market, and so is Kia. That’s right Kia. Maybe it’s because people think of Kia as a maker of attractive, smaller products like the Sportage and Forte, they forget Kia also has the Sedona that competes feature for feature with the big boys in the full-size minivan segment. By their very nature, minivans are optimized for cargo and people thus they tend all look and be the same in form and function yet be able to fit

But there has been a major change in minivan design over the past decade and that is in terms of ride, handling and chassis stiffness. Where they used to be a bit on the top-heavy side with a tendency to wallow in turns when pushed, the new crop of minivans acquit themselves quite well. They aren’t sportscars by any stretch, but driven with verve, they can be entertaining. During a very cold snap I had to cover a fair distance in this week’s tester, an EX Luxury. Coming out of the garage there is a ridge in the concrete. In my old 2001 Mazda MPV, when it was really cold, there was al-

ways a “clunk” sound caused by the unibody chassis flexing due of the rear twist beam coping with the ridge. On the Sedona, you simply put it in reverse and that’s it, no clunk. The first thing I noticed was how fast the engine heated up; such has been the advances in engine heating/cooling. The six-speed is a proven transmission and, like modern six-speeds, shifts are imperceptive unless you are really hammering the gas. At one point a man driving a white cargo van with a cellphone in hand dove onto the highway from the off ramp straight towards the spot where I

was. Thanks to a full suite of driver safety aids like electronic stability control, ABS and four big disc brakes, I got out of the way, but only just. The 2011 Kia Sedona comes in six trim levels: LX - $27,995; LX Convenience - $29,995; EX - $34,195; EX Power $36,495; EX Luxury $39,995; and EX Luxury with optional in-dash navigation - $40,995.

Relax driving Sedona Kia from B4 tooth connectivity and body color bumpers instead of the black rubber ones you sometimes see on entry level models. As tested here at $39,995 not counting the $1,650 shipping fee, the EX Luxury Package comes with everything Kia could build into it except satellite navigation. For a big vehicle like this, sight lines are good aided by the slightly higher seating position you get with a minivan as opposed to a sedan. The steering wheel mounted controls for the cruise control and audio/ phone functions are easy to use without having to look down to find them. With the six-speed on cruise, the big Sedona feels like a premium sedan thanks in large part to the full leather treatment with comes with the Luxury Package. That also makes it relaxing to drive so you emerge at your destination not feeling harried by the other traffic along the way. And when you add in fKia’s generous five-year warranty plan, it’s another good reason for placing Kia’s forgotten minivan at the top of your list.

ALL VERSIONS of the 2011 Sedona feature removable second row captain’s chairs with a onetouch folding mechanism. Legroom is 1,040 mm (40.9 in) for second row passengers.

For those who have been following Jaguar/ Land Rover’s ownership changes and are concerned for the iconic British brand’s future, fear not. While I am sure there are massive changes going on inside, the company was looking good at the recent Geneva Motor Show with the awesome Jaguar XKR-S dominating the display stand. And while there will no doubt be a whole new breed of vehicles coming, thanks to the infusion of bundles of cash from new owner Tata, some things should not change and that is the “Britishness” of their vehicles, one of them being the Land Rover LR4. With a starting price for the base LR4 of $59,990, it comes with arguably the best on/off-road drivetrains in the world, Land Rover’s award-winning Terrain Response system. With a large rotary knob on the transmission tunnel, you can select one of five drive modes designed to suit different conditions: General Driving; Grass/Gravel/Snow, Sand; Mud and Ruts, and Rock Crawl. A bonus for the 2011

LR4 is Hill Start Assist and Gradient Acceleration Control (GAC), which help the driver negotiate severe slopes/gradients encountered in off-road driving conditions. GAC pressurizes the braking system to slowj the vehicle to a limit determined by the throttle position when descending a slope in Drive or Reverse. Hill Descent Control integrates Gradient Release Control, which restricts the initial rate of acceleration when descending very steep inclines. This action helps to support vehicle control when braking is released at extreme angles. Power comes from the standard 5.0-litre LR-V8 with direct fuel injection and torque-activated Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) producing 375 hp and 375 lb/ft torque. The transmission is a six-speed adaptive automatic with CommandShift. This offers Normal, Sport and Manual shift modes. The transmission sends power to all four wheels through an electronically controlled twospeed transfer case with See Land Rover B7

â–ź LAND ROVER

LR4 meets fuel ratings Land Rover from B6 shift-on-the-move capability With a fuel consumption rating of 17.0/11.6L/100 km city/ highway it still meets the stringent ULEV2 (ultra low emissions vehicle) tregulations. The LR4 can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in a brisk 7.9 seconds with a top speed of no less than 195 km/h (121 mph). With Terrain Response set at General Driving, a journey to fetch my son at college in another city was truly a regal experience. First impression is the power of the engine. You don’t have to stomp on the gas; just a light nudge and you are off, and in a hurry. f On cruise most of the way, I was able to relax and look around at the interior and marvel at how the British know what they are doing in this department. My tester was the LR4 with the $10,800 HSE LUX Package (seven seat) with too many features to list here. But a few of them included Park Aid/Rear View Camera, Front Park Distance Control, premium leather seats on all three rows including premium leather on a cubby box lid, front arm trests, gear knob, 480-watt premium harman/kardon rAudio system LOGIC7 Surround Sound, Portable Audio Interface, Single CD, Sirius Satellite Radio and lastly a touch screen interface DSP amplifier with 14 speakers. But wait, there’s more. The $2,200 Vision Assist System includes the five-camera Surround Camera System along with xenon headlamps with Adaptive Front Lighting (AFS) and Automatic High Beam Assist (AHBA). How the Vision Assist System works is it relies on five digital cameras that send images to a touch-screen providing a near 360-degree view from the vehicle. The cameras, which support easier parking, towing and off-road maneuvering, function immediately as the vehicle is started, and have options for selecting and zooming in to assist with close quarter parking and with towing. Add in the $2,200 20inch alloy wheels, $1,250 for shipping and incidentals like $600 for the Santorini black metallic paint, $30 for black lacquer in-

terior finish and $180 for roof rails and the 2011 LR4 tested here topped out at $77,760. That’s a lot of money no matter how you look at it, but I have to tell you, the interior alone is worth it. The rich leather seats, dual-zone automatic cli-

mate control and a power tilt-and-slide sunroof are all standard. There is a choice of natural-finish woods, along with stitched and wrapped fascia, door casings and center console

THE REAR GATE on the LR4 is split to allow for easier loading of a wide variety of items— half gate (left) and full gate (right).

plated interior door handles and pockets, as well as the dashboard and center console area. After I don’t know how many German cars I’ve driven with that allblack interior they seem to love, the LR4 comes as a treat to the eyes, touch and hearing, especially the deep “chunk” sound of the door shutting that is so satisfying.

If you have the money and if you want an SUV that treats you “royally”, the 2011 Land Rover LR4 is a great choice.
