CapU adopts sexual violence policy University formally affirms ‘zero tolerance’ stance on campus

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Capilano University has passed a policy making it explicit the school has a zero-tolerance attitude towards sexual violence on campus.

Cap’s policy, passed by the board of governors Tuesday, doesn’t take the place of the criminal justice or civil court system, but instead governs how the school will treat students, employees and volunteers at the university who report being victims of, or are accused of sexual violence or misconduct. In May 2016, the province passed legislation mandating all universities and colleges adopt policies to confront sexual violence within one year. It followed a number of high-profile assaults on the University of British Columbia campus and complaints from victims the school was sluggish in responding. Under the policy, the school must provide “confidential assistance and support, referrals and information” to victims as

well as investigate and “take necessary and appropriate action to protect the safety and welfare of the campus community.” The language used in the policy, which has been in development since the summer of 2016, indicates a fundamental shift in thinking in how the school treats sexual violence, said Capilano president Paul Dangerfield. “We spent a lot of the discussion talking about consent and the newer approach to how that it is – that it is freely given and that it can never be assumed. That’s very different from the past. In the past, it was ‘No means no.’ Now it’s a whole new look around how we approach that,” he said. Also noteworthy is the policy’s direction for how the school treats those who come forward, referring to them as “survivors,” rather than complainants or alleged victims. “We will treat every individual coming forward as a survivor and with respect and never put them in question and allow them to make sure they have the services and the support mechanisms to either report or at least look for support,” Dangerfield said. The standard of proof the school will use in investigating reports is the balance of probabilities, rather than beyond a reasonable doubt. That’s also intended to

West Van woman admits to $30M Ponzi scheme JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A West Vancouver woman has admitted to fraudulently raising at least $30 million from investors as part of a Ponzi scheme.

Virginia Tan made the admission as part of a settlement agreement with the B.C. Securities Commission, announced Wednesday. According to securities commission documents, Tan ran a business under the name Letan Investments Management. For several years prior to 2011, Tan raised money from investors for shortterm high-interest loans and paid interest to the investors. After 2011, Tan stopped

using the money raised for loans, but still issued promissory notes to investors saying the money would be used for “short-term financing.” But instead, Tan now paid interest with money given to her from new investors – a classic Ponzi arrangement. Between 2011 and 2015, Tan raised at least $30 million through the Ponzi scheme, without actually investing that money in real business, according to the securities commission. By late 2015, Tan was unable to raise enough new money to pay the existing investors and stopped making interest payments. Many investors “suffered substantial

TREVOR LAUTENS: COMPASSION NOT CRITICISM FOR THE ADDICTED PAGE 8

Election signs defaced

Candidates stand united to urge debate, not destruction during election campaign JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Two candidates in the North VancouverLonsdale riding recently had their campaign signs defaced with swastikas.

Liberal MLA Naomi Yamamoto – B.C.’s first MLA of Japanese ancestry – tweeted a photo of her vandalized campaign sign Sunday evening. Shortly after, NDP candidate Bowinn Ma announced that one of her campaign signs had been marred with a swastika. While Yamamoto said she wouldn’t make a “huge issue” out of the incident, she also didn’t want to normalize the malicious act. The sign is one of about 30 of her campaign placards that have been ripped, stolen or “smashed to bits,” according to Yamamoto. The perpetrators are tantamount to anonymous Twitter trolls, according to Yamamoto, who described the guilty party as: “cowards who deface signs in the middle of the night.” The riding’s three major candidates all stated the vandalism was not representative of a vitriolic

campaign. “There’s always a few people who are rude but the vast majority – even if they support another party – it’s with a smile,” Yamamoto said. Yamamoto said she was thankful for the support she received across parties. “This is not a partisan issue,” agreed NDP candidate Ma. “Me and my team, we stand with Naomi against bigotry and hatred.” Ma suspected the same vandal defaced both signs. “I think it is the same person. Somebody’s been practising,” she said. Green Party candidate Richard Warrington called the incident a “deplorable” assault on freedom of

PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD speech and diversity of opinion, adding that he would like to speak to the guilty party. “If you’ve got something to say, talk to us.” The Green candidate added that his limited supply of signs have so far been unharmed. The graffiti stirred the Liberal and NDP leaders, with Premier Christy Clark telling reporters she doesn’t

dwell on “what all the negative people” are doing at a recent press conference. “I know this is going to be an ugly, mean, dirty campaign, that’s what the NDP has promised us again and again. I’m determined to make sure that we talk about a bright future for our kids,” she said. A reporter also broached the issue with NDP leader John Horgan.

“Whenever I see hate, whenever I see discrimination I want to eradicate that,” he said. “That’s why one of the issues that we’re talking about is … renewing the human rights commission.” The incident – while loathsome – is “garden variety” vandalism and not representative of the electorate, according to Capilano University political studies

instructor Conrad King. A swastika was also spray-painted on an Edgemont Village road shortly before Remembrance Day in 2016. The graffiti’s appearance coincided with the election of U.S. President Donald Trump, whose campaign aided a “normalization of the vocalization of hatred,” according to Edgemont resident Tamara Komuniecki.

65-year-old saleswoman jailed for North Van fraud

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A 65-year-old saleswoman who helped herself to the accounts of a North Vancouver promotions company has been sent to jail for nine months.

Judge John Milne handed the sentence to Agnes Gray Gartner (also known as Nancy Gartner) in North Vancouver provincial court April 7 after Gartner pleaded

guilty to two charges of fraud over $5,000. In handing down his sentence, Milne described how Gartner worked for eight years for a North Vancouver company, Encore Exhibitions, which puts on large trade shows in the Lower Mainland. Gartner made a good salary, earning amounts ranging from $95,000 to $117,000 annually, according the judge. But between January 2012 and May 2014, Gartner – who

had access to company accounts – also helped herself to Encore’s money, taking $147,000 and depositing it in her personal bank account in 102 separate transactions. Undetected, Gartner paid back all but about $27,000 of that money to Encore’s account. Her actions were discovered only after she was fired in May 2014. Milne noted Gartner had no mental health or addictions issues and didn’t come from a deprived or unstable

background. She took the money because “she felt it was owing to her,” he said. “She felt entitled to the money.” But the judge noted that version of events “is unsupported by the evidence.” According to victim impact statements entered in the case, the North Vancouver couple who own the company felt angry and betrayed when they discovered the fraud, said Milne. “They feel their reputation

in the community has suffered,” he said. Milne added Gartner was in a position of trust, and it is likely she would have continued to help herself to the accounts if she had kept her job. He noted Gartner also has a previous conviction for fraud over $5,000. Milne rejected a request from Gartner’s defence lawyer for a conditional sentence that would allow her to serve her sentence under house arrest, saying that would

not send a strong enough message of denunciation and deterrence. Instead, he sent Gartner to jail and ordered that she pay back the remaining amount of about $27,000. Following the sentence, a verbal altercation broke out in the gallery of the court between Gartner’s husband and the owners of Encore, who were both present for the sentencing. Sheriffs quickly escorted everyone from the courthouse.

Fire crews douse burning cars in Bellevue parkade BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

West Vancouver Fire and Rescue is investigating after two vehicles went up in flames in the middle of the night Monday.

The first 911 calls came in just after midnight April 17 from an apartment on the 2100 block of Bellevue Avenue. “There were two vehicles fully involved in one of the underground parkades of the structure,” said assistant fire

Chief Jeff Bush. Bush called in 14 crew members and two engines to attack the fires and evacuate the building’s residents. “We had a pretty quick knock-down (of the fire) but the majority of the operation, we were extracting smoke from the actual highrise structure itself,” he said. It took about three hours before the building was safe for residents to return. One person received minor injuries from a fall during the evacuation. The building’s concrete

ceiling sustained some minor damage but the two vehicles, a Toyota Yaris and a Mercedes B200, were totally destroyed and towed away for investigation. Finding the cause of the fires, though, will be difficult, Bush said. “I would say there are probably 50 different causes of vehicles fires. ... Sometimes you get a lack of maintenance, you get electrical issues, sometimes it’s hidden articles or pieces of paper or plastic on the road that melt or catch fire. It’s so hit and miss.”

Policy ‘first step’ to a safer campus From page 1 weight the system in favour of those wronged, which are the “vast, vast majority of the cases,” Dangerfield said. “We flipped the whole process around so we could care for the individuals, which was the advice we were getting. And I think that’s really helped us in this and certainly our community has embraced that. We haven’t had any challenges with that,” he said. Dangerfield said he is aware of two instances of sexual violence connected to the campus within the last five years. Emily Solomon, the Capilano Students’ Association women’s student liaison and a fourth-year business student, said she was proud of the policy and the level of buy-in it’s had in development.

“We had all the voices there and everyone took it so very seriously. For me, as a student, that was itself really promising,” she said. “I’m hoping that students will find it accessible and that they’ll feel supported and that it will contribute to their success and their academic career. I’m very proud of it.” On another level, Dangerfield said he hopes the policy is a step towards addressing the larger cultural problems that cause so many women to feel at risk in the places where they’re supposed to be focused on student life. “I asked my daughters what precautions they take and I was alarmed at how careful they are with everything. From attending a party and never ever putting their drinks down, right on through to getting into taxi

cabs and the teamwork they do as a group of girls to look after each other. It was quite surprising,” he said. “I’d like to take it beyond just that this is a safe place. I’d like to take it to the point where employees and students who pass through the gates of Capilano University … are now advocates and spokespersons and are going to their communities and actually changing the culture that you see not just on campus on in Canada and in society in general.” The policy should be a first step towards that, if it’s followed up with appropriate resources and education on campus, Solomon said. “Having it in place, I think, will make it feel like a safer campus. I think it also just shifts the culture. It’s a statement of university’s commitment that there’s zero tolerance for it,” she said.

ONLINECOMMENT NSN STORY OR OPINION: Edgemont Families Held Hostage by Construction (April 12)

Christopher Wallace: All the construction and inconvenience has not made it more affordable for people to remain on the North Shore. Development continues unabated right along with the prices, the towers coming in Lynn Valley are going to turn the area into a traffic nightmare. As well, the units in these towers are on the market for $800,000 for a two bedroom, I hardly think these are the units to keep young people on the North Shore. My parents just moved into one of the newly completed projects in Lynn Valley, units are now being flipped for $850,000 for a two bedroom. The real estate and development cartel has sold us demand created off shore as local demand. Just one development company in Vancouver has five offices in China. Chris Berry: If you think North Van is unaffordable now, then how much more so would it be if there weren’t the additional units on the market that the new builds are providing? I live in one of the new condo buildings in Lynn Valley, and have family in one of the new rental

buildings in town. These new buildings are full of a diverse cross section of the community – students, working families young and old, and retired downsizers. Teachers, admin assistants, construction workers, doctors, businesspeople – a huge mix. Nearly everyone has strong work, family or social ties to the North Shore – they wouldn’t put up with the cost and headaches of living here if they didn’t. I also recently lived in Canyon Heights, where I didn’t get nearly that feel. North Shore singlefamily communities today skew to those that got into the housing ladder a good time ago, or the very wealthy. Not many young families and people working in the community. The population of the Metro area is growing. The number of people with strong work, family and social ties to the North Shore is also growing. We can choose to accommodate these people by building new homes on the limited land we have (e.g., denser), or we can choose to shut off the supply of homes and watch an even more significant change to the makeup of the community – as is now well progressed in West Van, which is now getting much older and whose population is now declining. (As an aside, the $850K figure used also seems a bit on the high side – less than that would get a three-bed unit in the newest buildings in Lynn Valley, and recent completed sales for two-bed units are closer to $600K).

Sidney Crosby could adjust to them. After a few minutes of watching women’s World League play this month at West Vancouver’s Rutledge Field, and an awe-generating tick-tack-toe practice by the

I recently attended an annual community-awareness event hosted by Hollyburn Family Services Society. Several people spoke from the stage about severe and unexpected life challenges and of how Hollyburn’s programs, staff and volunteers provided the means to get their lives back on track. Among those who had the courage to speak was a high school student who had been homeless and in urgent need of mental health counselling support, and a business executive who lost his job and then his home in a ﬁre and had nowhere to live.

Often hidden Their stories – and the many like them that staff at agencies like Hollyburn tell – underline how signiﬁcant but often hidden social issues can be within a community like ours. Sometimes we only become aware of them when they affect a neighbour or co-worker – or our own family. I grew up in Saskatoon with parents who were actively engaged in social service work. My mother, a social worker, worked with abused women. My father was a community development leader who spent his time in Saskatoon’s lower income areas. However, even though I was aware of many social issues in the Prairies during my adolescence, in the two decades that my wife and I have lived in North Vancouver we have personally encountered such challenges only infrequently. Though they are often out-of-sight in a community such as ours we cannot let their reality be out-of-mind. The continuum of programs offered by the Hollyburn Family Services Society illustrates the broad range of social need on the North Shore. Some examples:

ﬂeeing situations involving domestic violence

➤ Programs to enable the homeless to

➤ A safe house for youth requiring a

secure place to stay

➤ Parent-teen mediation ➤ Programs to assist vulnerable youth

to overcome barriers to employment

Grassroot agencies on the front lines Clearly governments at all levels have a role to play in thoughtfully deploying resources to address important societal issues such as homelessness, domestic violence, employment barriers and seniors’ isolation. But it is grassroots community agencies that are on the front lines of program delivery. Over the past 18 months my office has worked closely with organizations such as Hollyburn and with Family Services of the North Shore to bring federal funding to assist with programming for the critical challenges these organizations have prioritized in our community. We’ve been successful in securing financial support for programs that include Hollyburn’s “Wired 4 Success” program, which addresses employment barriers facing youth, and for Family Services of the North Shore’s programming focused on seniors’ social isolation – a real and growing concern. Beyond government, we as citizens of this community also have a critical role to play. Organizations such as Hollyburn, North Shore Family Services, North Shore Neighborhood House and other vital social agencies would not exist without the active volunteer and financial support of individual North Vancouverites. It is often said that the true measure of any community can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members. I would suggest that the work being done by and the support that is provided to Hollyburn, to North Shore Family Services and to other key social agencies by many citizens of the North Shore is a visible sign that we are indeed a community that cares. One of Hollyburn’s core values is “to nurture a community of caring.” Let that be a call to action for us all.

The gala’s 1980s theme saw guests strutting their brightest florescent colours and leg warmers as they bid on a collection of more than a dozen guitars signed by local and international musical acts, such as 54-40, Helix, and Hall & Oates. Other silent and live auction items included a weekend for two in Pemberton and a dinner cooked for 8-10 guests, plus raffles for wine baskets, prizes for best costume and, of course, there was plenty of dancing to great ’80s hits.

The Harpoonist & the Axe Murderer go Apocalipstick

Blues brothers ! The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer, Commodore Ballroom, Saturday, April 22, 9:30 p.m. BEN BENGTSON reporter@nsnews.com

Shawn Hall and Matthew Rogers have come a long way together. The duo behind the popular Vancouver-based blues band the Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer are wrapping up their current tour this Saturday at the Commodore Ballroom, the finale in a cross-Canada journey that has taken them to many stops throughout the country. “We’ve actually done the proper tour across the country,” says Rogers, the band’s guitar playing “Axe Murderer” and onehalf of the duo. “I think it’s been like 10 years for me since I’ve actually driven across the country playing gigs.”

Since forming about 10 years ago, The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer have become a mainstay band in Vancouver’s music scene, imbuing it with their fiery take on blues music that is just as likely to get audiences dancing in their seats as it is to envelop them in the genre’s tradition-bound liveliness. Rogers jokes about the “romantic notion of it all” with regards to the band driving across the country for this tour, piled in a van together, listening to books on tape to pass the time while rolling through vast empty stretches in Ontario. But in reality, the band drove across the country for practical reasons, not romantic ones. They’ve added a drummer and singer (and tour manager) into the mix for their current performances, compelling the group to take to the road whereas in the past Rogers and band mate Shawn Hall might have simply flown. The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer are touring on their latest album, Apocalipstick, the band’s fifth release and most

ambitious to date. In the past Rogers and Hall have generally recorded and performed as a duo, but for their latest album they sought help from some hired guns, rounding out the band with a drummer, keyboard player and a multitude of different voices and singers. While Apocalipstick still incorporates the band’s searing take on the blues, the duo – and new collaborators – have amped the sound up, experimenting with what Rogers refers to as “doomsday sort of textures.” While the 13-track album is louder, heavier and more psychedelic than the group’s previous efforts, the band didn’t have much of a guiding force when they were writing and recording it, except what felt right to them at the time. “We’re just kind of doing what we feel is best, not what necessarily helps us stick to a certain label or helps people

It probably started in the early 1900s in the Louisiana hub Truman Capote once called “the most secretive” of all secret cities: New Orleans.

Jazz bands cooked and the melting pot bubbled. The muddy waters of Lake Pontchartrain flowed into the Gulf of Mexico, creating a path for musicians from Mexico’s Yucatan Province, Cuba and the Bahamas; all of whom brought riffs and rhythms to the African American pioneers of the French Quarter. When it comes to jazz, “the first Latin influences were felt in New Orleans,” according to music journalist John Storm Roberts, who writes about the evolution in his book Latin Jazz. At the scene’s centre was piano player Jelly Roll Morton, the musician who frequently introduced himself by saying – and not without merit – that he was the inventor of jazz. For Morton, if jazz didn’t have what he called a “Spanish tinge,” it wasn’t jazz, Roberts notes. That tinge is part of what lured pianist Niho Takase away from classical music and into the world of Latin jazz. Originally from Japan, Takase remembers taking

Asked why she chose the piano, the Long & McQuade music teacher admits she doesn’t remember, only that she felt somehow compelled by the black and white board. “I wanted to play it,” she says. “I don’t know why.” She was schooled in classical music and likely would have kept on handling Handel if not for hearing Herbie Hancock: the wildly creative jazz bandleader who lent melodies to watermelons and cantaloupes. “I just loved it,” Takase recalls. “I’ve never heard this before. … That’s how I left classical music and started to play jazz.”

Despite her virtuosity on the keys, jazz was initially easier to appreciate than to play. “I remember, I was learning jazz for the first time: I couldn’t swing,” she recalls. It’s a problem akin to a cook losing their sense of taste or a politician finding themselves unable to change the subject. However, that swinging returned to Takase when she played her first bossa nova. “It was so easy to do the straight rhythm,” she says. “The feel for it, I think you’ve just got to have it.” Her classical skills eased her transition to jazz, Takase reports.

Apocalipstick takes things to the dark side From page 13

necessarily even define what we’re doing,” Rogers says. “We just want to do what we enjoy and what makes us happy and what feels like a natural progression for the band. Doing something a bit nosier and a bit more sing-along-able was what we felt was right for this particular record.” Songs such as “Father’s Son” and “Forever Fool” demonstrate the band’s newfound fondness for catchy, energetic songs that don’t always adhere to the benchmark three-minute strong structure. Rogers also points out that this time around there’s more guitar solos in the mix. “I guess we just felt it was time,” he says with a laugh. “I’m not a really guitar solo-y type of guy. I was just excited about it on this one, for some reason, to just try it out and do something different. And then I think in the back of our minds we were thinking that we would have a drummer when touring this album and knowing that I knew that I could just go and do some of those live.” Rogers says the name Apocalipstick for the album was born out of a joke, the bandmates finding humour in the light-dark contrast of the title – and, of course, liking the way it sounded. “And then we were like, ‘Hey, that’s actually pretty cool and actually means something in this day and

age.’ And we felt that it sort of represents where the band is at musically and sort of just jives with the sound of this record in particular,” he says. The band has come a long way. Rogers and Hall first met more than 10 years ago when the budding musicians were both hired to help create a jingle for a Jamaican pizza restaurant. They had obvious musical chemistry together, and decided to keep at it, eventually opting to form a duo. When asked what’s contributed to the bandmates’ success together five albums and more than a decade later, Rogers answers immediately. “I would say our differences. We’re extremely different people, extremely different writers – we like a lot of the same music but we also bring a lot of different musical things to the table.” The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer are known for their highoctane concerts and devoted fans. Rogers says the band likes to keep changing things up and offering the audience something new and exciting every time they come see them play. It’s a challenge, but he says it’s important to keep the audience on their toes. He’s enthusiastic seeing songs from the new album performed live will offer them something fresh. “No one’s singing along yet, but maybe that’s to come,” he says.

Long Division takes actor on personal journey Playwright adjusted role specifically for Melissa Oei ! Pi Theatre’s Long Division at The Annex, 823 Seymour Street, Vancouver, April 26 – 30. For more information visit pitheatre.com. LISE BOULLARD Contributing Writer

Like many actors, Melissa Oei sees her craft as a cathartic experience.

That was never truer than in the fall of 2016, when her father passed away while she was rehearsing for the Canadian premiere run of Pi Theatre’s Long Division. “I went back to rehearsal the very next day, not because I felt the pressure to be there, but because I actually couldn’t think of a safer place to be than among a group of artists who are just so caring and so loving and so generous,” says the actress over the phone from the Pi Theatre’s office, where the cast is currently rehearsing for the spring run of Long Division, on April 26 to 30 at Vancouver’s Annex Theatre. The story focuses on seven characters, interconnected through a tragic event, and it’s up to them to figure out how and why they have been brought together. Paul, a math teacher, sees the world through the lens of mathematical equations, and “a lot of how the plot unfolds is told through mathematical language and metaphors,” says Oei. Oei plays Lucy, a character she admits is “a lot like me: a young aspiring actress

Melissa Oei plays Lucy, a character she admits is a lot like herself, in Pi Theatre’s production of Peter Dickinson’s Long Division. Directed by Richard Wolfe, the play runs April 26 – 30 at The Annex. PHOTO SUPPLIED DAVID COOPER (who) supports herself and her acting career by serving at a bar. She’s very young, very much in love with theatre, quite passionate and creative, and sees the world with a lot of hope.” Lucy’s journey is to figure out how she fits in to the story, and that becomes apparent through the beauty of the

mathematical equations, explains the actress. Making the role even more personal for Oei is the fact that Long Division’s playwright, Peter Dickinson, adjusted the script just for her, making the character’s father be from Indonesia, just as Oei’s was. “My father ultimately never got to

see the show which I was really sad about because (Dickinson) had altered the character of Lucy to reflect my personal background … So (after my father’s passing) it was a beautiful thing for me to be able to go to work every night and for him to be there with me,” she explains.

“IN THIS WORLD, NOTHING CAN BE CERTAIN, EXCEPT DEATH AND TAXES.” (B. FRANKLIN)

Oei, who grew up in Deep Cove and whose mother still resides in the Lonsdale area, first became smitten with acting when she enrolled in Grade nine drama class at Argyle Secondary School. After completing the Theatre Arts Program at Capilano College, she moved on to join the conservatory acting

program at Vancouver’s renowned Studio 58. Many professionals from the community, such as directors and designers, work at the school, which opened up doors for her to “go out into the world after graduation and start working right away,” she explains. Since then, Oei has been involved in a number of productions on stages big and small, working as an actress, director and administrator with organizations as Carousel Theatre for Young People, Bard on the Beach and The Cultch. Though she has always been based in the Lower Mainland, her career and personal journeys have taken her to Greece, Europe and Asia, including a recent trip to India, Mexico and Korea. Throughout her career, Oei has worked on a number of large-scale productions, but her passion lies with smaller-scale works. “Vancouver is a creative town, there are lots of indie companies run by one or two passionate people,” she says. This translates to fewer opportunities than in places with greater arts infrastructure and funding, but it suits the actress just fine. “I’m excited by things that are creatively daring, and usually those are on small stages,” she explains. Knowing the upcoming run of the show could bring up many emotions for Oei, she says, “I feel so lucky as an actor because there really is no safer place to feel your feelings than among a group of artists that are just so naturally empathetic, and theatre is an amazing outlet for everything you’re going through in life … This show has a lot of personal resonance with me and I just feel really lucky to be able to do it again.”

Five BC Parks Campgrounds for Escaping the Crowds Pitching a tent in one of British Columbia’s many provincial parks is the perfect way to get out of town. Here are ﬁve lesser-known provincial parks where you are more likely to enjoy a quiet night (or several) in a vehicleaccessible or walk-in campsite. INLAND LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK Located in Powell River on the Sunshine Coast, Inland Lake Provincial Park features a scenic 13-km (8-mi) wheelchair-accessible loop trail that’s perfect for hiking and cycling. The 2,757-hectare (6812-acre) park attracts both day and overnight visitors with its canoeing, kayaking, swimming, trout ﬁshing, and wildlife-viewing opportunities. As a stop on the Sunshine Coast Trail, Inland Lake might even inspire you to backpack all or part of this 180-km (111-mi) path maintained by volunteers with the Powell River Parks and Wilderness Society. (Another multi-day challenge of similarly epic proportions is the Powell Forest Canoe Route, with its multiple portages.) The campground near the south end of the lake offers 22 drive-in campsites and pit toilets. If you need a break from camp fare, a craft brewery (Townsite Brewing) and restaurants serving up Mexican, Indian, and other cuisines are just 10 km (6 mi) away in Powell River.

SILVER BEACH PROVINCIAL PARK Does camping on the site of a historical gold-rush town appeal to you? Ogden City is now called Seymour Arm, but some of its 19th-century remains, including a graveyard, lie in Silver Beach Provincial Park. Covering 130 hectares (321 acres) along Shuswap Lake, this park hosts 35 vehicle-accessible campsites and pit toilets. From Highway 1 near Chase, it’s a 83-km (52-mi) drive northeast on paved and gravel roads. The Shuswap Lake location means a plethora of water activities are available. Silver Beach can serve as your base for canoeing, scuba diving, waterskiing, windsurﬁng, swimming, and ﬁshing (19 species, such as rainbow trout and burbot). KINASKAN LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK Found along Highway 37 between two much larger parks— Mount Edziza and Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness—Kinaskan Lake Provincial Park in northwestern BC offers a remote but still drive-in camping experience. The 1,800-hectare (4,447-acre) park, 100 km (62 mi) south of Dease Lake, has 50 vehicle-accessible campsites and pit toilets. For wildlife watchers, sightings of bears, coyotes, hares, martens, moose, and wolves are possible. Both canoeing

and fishing for rainbow trout are recommended on Kinaskan and Natadesleen lakes. The latter drains into the Iskut River, which flows over a staircase of Jurassic sedimentary rocks at Cascade Falls. For the adventurous backpacker, an overgrown trail leads from Kinaskan Lake to Mowdade Lake in Mount Edziza Provincial Park. NEWCASTLE ISLAND MARINE PROVINCIAL PARK Access to Newcastle Island Marine Provincial Park is by boat only, so its 18 campsites are of the walk-in variety. Conveniently, the campground is just five minutes on foot from where the passenger ferry from Nanaimo docks. Designated a provincial park in 1961, Newcastle Island lies in the territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation and has a storied history. Middens point to at least two historic village sites in the 363-hectare (897-acre) park. Starting in the 1800s, coal mining and sandstone quarrying took place on the island before it was turned into a resort. The Newcastle Island of today boasts 22 km (14 mi) of easy hiking trails. The park has both flush and pit toilets as well as coin-operated showers and a playground.

KOOTENAY LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK There are two vehicle-accessible campgrounds in Kootenay Lake Provincial Park, and one of them even has wi-fi available for a fee. Located 25 km (16 mi) north of Kaslo on Highway 31, both the Davis Creek and Lost Ledge campgrounds offer shady sites and beach access. Covering 343 hectares (847 acres), the park consists of five sites along 100-km-long Kootenay Lake. The Purcell and Selkirk mountains rise on opposite sides of the water, which invites canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, and windsurfing. (South of Kaslo, Cody Caves Provincial Park is open for guided tours.) Davis Creek is the campground with the wi-fi. It has 32 drive-in campsites, while Lost Ledge offers 14. Pit toilets are on site for taking care of business. For front-country campgrounds, BC Parks accepts reservations up to four months in advance of arrival. You can book at discovercamping.ca , or call 1-800-689-9025 (Canada and the U.S.) or 1-519-826-6850 (international).

SCHLOSS NEUSCHWANSTEIN: LUDWIG II’S FAIRYTALE RETREAT

Bavarian jewel inspired Disney’s iconic castle PETER NEVILLE-HADLEY Meridian Writers’Group

argue that the project cost him his life. In 1885 foreign banks threatened to seize Ludwig’s property. The king’s failure to respond led the government to depose him. He was certified mentally unstable and on June 12, 1886 was arrested in his ornate bedroom, and taken to Schloss Berg, another of his creations. The next day, in that castle’s lake, he was found drowned. He was a strong swimmer, the lake was shallow, and the psychiatrist who had certified him insane was found dead with him, so conspiracy theories abound. Murdered by the state say some; murdered by the family he was impoverishing, say others. But he left the world a treasure in jewel-like castles across Bavaria, none more extravagantly fanciful than Schloss Neuschwanstein.

Füssen, Germany – In this corner of southwest Bavaria, next to the Austrian border and once of strategic importance, several castles sprouted over the ages. The most magnificent, if militarily irrelevant, was Schloss Neuschwanstein.

Visited by Walt Disney on a European tour in the 1950s, this improbable cluster of mountain-top towers inspired the Sleeping Beauty Castle of Disneyland, although it was itself only a mock-up of the medieval, built in the 1880s as a fantasyland for the indifferently talented if charismatic monarch, Ludwig II of Bavaria (1845-1886). In 1864 Ludwig was ill-prepared to ascend the throne at the age of only 18. When two years later Bavaria lost a war with neighbouring Prussia he became merely a vassal king and turned to busying himself building a series of magnificent castles. From the tiny rococo Linderhof (the only one he actually completed) to the towering medieval Neuschwanstein, each was a retreat from the real world and each was hugely expensive. Neuschwanstein was designed to occupy and link two castle-topped high points, replacing earlier structures entirely. Endless photography has made its fairytale exterior familiar, but its interior is no less dazzling, every surface dizzyingly decorated.

If you go: For more information on Schloss Neuschwanstein visit neuschwanstein.de. For information on travel in Bavaria visit the Bayern Tourismus website at bavaria.by.

Ludwig II of Bavaria built Schloss Neuschwanstein as a homage to Richard Wagner and paid for the opulent palace out of his own funds. PHOTO SUPPLIED PHOTOCHROM (COLOURIZED) PRINT, CIRCA 1900, TAKEN A FEW YEARS AFTER COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION Many large frescoes depict the heroes of Germanic myth and legend that feature in Richard Wagner’s operas, also funded by Ludwig’s patronage. The main hall is dominated by a vast brass chandelier in the shape of the Byzantine crown, hanging over a vast mosaic of animals. A spiral staircase reserved only for the king ends as a palm tree of painted stone that fans out into a star-spangled ceiling hung with ornate lanterns. In Ludwig’s chapellike bedroom a complex

wooden bed canopy took 14 carpenters more than four years to make. Swan motifs are everywhere, from the swan-shaped faucet in the bedroom to life-size ceramics in the drawing room. Amid all this medievalism Ludwig loved high tech. Even in the 1880s piped water reached every floor, and there were flush toilets. Some of the earliest batteries powered an electrical system for summoning servants, and there was also a telephone. But for architects, builders and interior decorators,

Ludwig was a nightmare client, constantly revising his plans and asking for extensions. His original

600,000-mark budget had already reached 3.7 million marks at the time of his death, and indeed some

REMEMBRANCES obituaries FORSYTH, Mariette C. October 21, 1956 − March 28, 2017

CHOSE, Mary E. May 14, 1942 − February 24, 2017

Mary died at home, surrounded by family and friends. She is survived by husband, Wayne, children Tracy, Trent, Wendy and Colleen. Mary left an impression not soon to be forgotten. Her strength and sense of justice will live on through many that she touched. We would like to thank the staff at the BC Cancer Agency, especially Dr. Wu and Dr. Prisman and the caring, loving assistance from the Edgemont Palliative Care team, especially team leader Liane and nurses Wendy and Elinor. Mary’s service is at 3 PM, May 5, 2017 at Christ Church Cathedral, 690 Burrard Street, Vancouver.

Mariette Charlotte Forsyth (nee van de Poll) was born October 21, 1956 in the Netherlands. Died March 28, 2017 in West Vancouver, BC. It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Mariette. Mariette was deeply loved by her mother, siblings, nephews, nieces, cousins and friends. These bonds were strong and will give us many lasting memories of our dear Mariette. Mariette was always so present in the moment. One felt engaged with her as she asked questions with a keen interest to know you better. Mariette was quick with a laugh and a witty take on things around her. Her determination and strength saw her accomplish much in her life. She had made time for the things she loved; like nature, walks, movies, knitting, quilting, and her family and friends. Her personal faith gave her meaning and peace even in the storms. Predeceased by her father, Gijsbert van de Poll; her brother, Stewart van de Poll; and her husband, Robert Forsyth. Survived by her mother, Johanna van de Poll, her brothers and sisters: Maurice (wife Denise, children Taylor, Monika), Caroline (husband David, children Tristan, Shaun), Beatrice (Daryl, child Stephanie), Reinier (wife Sherri, children Tessa, Logan, Fraser); her extended family in Holland; and her friends. Cremation by Hollyburn Funeral Home, West Vancouver, BC. Condolences may be sent to Hollyburn Funeral Home. A Celebration of Life will be held in the near future for family and close friends.

DAWSON, Robin H. April 28, 1923 − April 11, 2017

Robin was born in Warwickshire, England, son of Charles and Mary Dawson. He was predeceased by siblings Roland, Marjorie, Stephen, Richard and Pepita. He is survived by his loving wife, Joan of North Vancouver and by numerous nephews and nieces in the United Kingdom and Canada. Robin served in the Royal Navy (Fleet Air Arm) in the Second World War and did some of his training in Ontario and Quebec. He emigrated to Canada in 1946 and stayed with his sister in Ladysmith doing a variety of jobs before moving to Edmonton. He attended the University of Alberta, receiving his Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Geology. Robin then went to UBC to complete his Master’s Degree. He later became a science teacher for 18 years in Williams Lake before retiring to North Vancouver. Robin loved to travel, ski, listen to music, read a good book and spend time at our cottage on Galiano Island. Robin was a loving husband; a kind, gentle man with a good sense of humour. He will be sadly missed by Joan, his family, friends and the wonderful staff at Cedarview Lodge.

ELLIOTT, Diane Louise January 27, 1961 - December 8, 2016 Beloved daughter of William and Jean Elliott, sister to Bill Elliott Jr., has been laid to rest too early in life. A celebration of Diane’s life will be on April 29th at 2 pm at the Caulfeild Cove Hall at St. Francis in the Woods Church

MCLUCKIE, Mary Elaine (nee Burke) November 22, 1927 to April 13, 2017 Elaine passed away peacefully after a brief illness at Lions Gate Hospital. She is survived by her husband of 52 years, Bob, daughter Carolyn Marshall and husband Peter, grandchildren Gordie and Anna. She is also survived by younger brother Donald. Predeceased by daughter Mary Ann, brothers Jack and Bernard and sister Barbara. Born in Halifax, Elaine worked in Ottawa as a secretary to an assistant Deputy Minister. When the Minister moved to Vancouver to head up BC Forest products, he asked Elaine to be his secretary, which she agreed to. She met Bob at Jericho Tennis Club. Elaine and Bob lived in Caulfeild in West Vancouver for 25 years where Elaine worked for many years at the West Vancouver School Board. Elaine loved sailing with Bob in the local waters including Desolation Sound. In 1993 they moved to Arbutus Ridge retirement community on Vancouver Island. Elaine loved to play Tennis and did until she was eighty. In 2008 Bob and Elaine moved back to West Van to be near the grandchildren. She became grandma’s taxi driving to soccer and gymnastics. Elaine also loved to sing and was part of both the Arbutus Ridge and West Vancouver Seniors choirs. Elaine and Bob also spent many winters in Palm Springs with friends from West Vancouver. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Lions Gate Hospital for their care. Elaine had asked that there be no funeral or service.

JOPSON, Frederick Ernest May 22, 1919 - April 12, 2017 We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our dad, Fred Jopson, in his 98th year. Fred is predeceased by his wife Corinne and son Fred Jr. He is survived by his son Brad; daughter Sherry Sayers (Rick); granddaughter Libby; grandsons Tyler (Jessie), Corey (Ashley) and Cameron; great-granddaughters Peyton and Camdyn; nephew Geoff (Alison); sisters-in-law Lorraine and Inez; and live in caregiver Beth, who for the past 8 years brought joy and fulfillment to his life. Fred, a 7th generation Canadian and a descendant of a Father of Confederation, was born on May 22, 1919 in his grandmother’s home on Napier Street in Vancouver. The doctor arrived by horse and buggy. Fred attended school throughout the Great Depression, graduating from Vancouver Technical High School. Fred’s lifelong interest in sports began at an early age. He played Youth Soccer until the PNE Forum ice rink was built and then became a Rink Rat. He remembered fondly his years in Jr. Hockey played in Vancouver and Seattle, highlighted by a game against Cyclone Taylor. Furthering his education, he developed tooling design skills that would place him in high demand as WWII broke out. He spent all six years of the war as a supervisor with Boeing Aircraft of Canada. His designs and innovations proved vital to production. After the war, Fred began his career in Electrical Manufacturing, remaining with Federal Pioneer Electric for 34 years until his retirement in 1984. Fred and Corinne were married for 59 years. They raised their three children in a home they built on Sentinel Hill in West Vancouver. As a founding member of the Hollyburn Country Club, he and Corinne curled for many years. Fred was always involved with his children’s sports as coach, referee and umpire. In 1955, he helped to establish the West Vancouver Youth Soccer Association, serving as its President. From there, Fred’s influence on the sport became legendary. For 35 years, he served on the board of the BC Youth Soccer Association and was also a founding member of the Canadian Youth Soccer Association. One of his proudest achievements was to develop and grow the BC Washington Soccer Exchange. For his efforts, Fred was awarded numerous Life Memberships. In recognition of his lifetime contributions to amateur sport, Fred received the prestigious Daryl Thompson Award from Sport BC. Most recently he was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the West Vancouver Soccer Club. Fred was grateful that his life afforded him many lasting friendships. Dad was kind, honest and a true gentleman who always had a story to tell. He shared with his children and grandchildren his pride in being Canadian and his love for Vancouver. Dad’s love of family surpassed all. He embraced his role as family patriarch, and he revelled in his family’s every success. Until his final day, Dad enjoyed radio talk shows, sports broadcasts and attending all family gatherings, including picnics and outdoor concerts in the Ambleside area. We loved him deeply and will hold him in our hearts forever. Join us in celebrating Dad’s life on May 1st, 2017 at 1:00 pm at the West Vancouver Yacht Club, 5854 Marine Dr., West Vancouver. Remembrances in his name can be made to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation.

SLIM, Bryan A. May 5, 1941 − April 9, 2017

Bryan was born in Staffordshire and educated at King Edward’s School, Birmingham; Royal school of Mines, London; The University of the Witwatersrand and Simon Fraser University. His early career was spent with Anglo−American in South Africa and Ashanti Goldfields in Ghana. In Canada he worked extensively in BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan before forming his own consulting company and becoming involved in mining projects world−wide. He was an avid reader and seeker of knowledge, whose interests ranged from fly−fishing to genealogy to DIY. His enthusiasm for home handyman projects provided his sons with skills they put to good use to this day. They will also remember him for hair−raising wheel barrow rides, camping trips and bike rides in Fish Creek Park. He loved long walks, good food, music − and someone to share them with. Bryan is survived by his wife, Jennifer, sons Nicholas, Julian and Adam, five dear grandchildren and his sister Christine Stott in England. No service is planned, his ashes will be laid to rest in England.

McKINLAY, Ena Sophie August 19, 1915 - April 12, 2017 Ena McKinlay (née Betterton) was 101! She spent her idyllic childhood and teenage years swimming in English Bay, skating on Lost Lagoon, riding bicycles through Stanley Park, hiking and skiing on Hollyburn Mountain, travelling the Union Steamship to Bowen Island, and taking the occasional day off school to go sport fishing with her father, Ernest Betterton. One of many highlights in her life was a family road trip to San Francisco as a teenager when she got to drive the Ford Model T. Another highlight was an ocean cruise to Honolulu, Hawaii with her beloved older sister, Alice (1911-1941). On the beach at English Bay, she met Donald James McKinlay, who would serve as a RCAF Officer in WWII and practice law in Vancouver. They were married in 1942. Ena loved to socialize with friends and family, always stylishly dressed in the latest fashions purchased at a steal. She will be remembered for her true joie-de-vivre, a legacy which will continue to inspire us all to “just have fun.”

SCHMIDT, Joyce Agnes Joyce Agnes Schmidt, our lovely mother, now lies peacefully after a multi-year struggle with myeloma. Through this difficult time, her bravery honored us and her dignity never faded. As her daily life had become so fragile and precarious, we must alleviate our anguish with solace knowing that she rests in a more peaceful place. Mom had a love for painting, a passion for music, and a zeal for swimming and card games. Her life’s work as a nurse for sick children mirrored her compassion and devotion towards family and friends. Capturing many hearts with her elegance and charismatic kindness, her absence leaves much disenchantment. In time, this will reawaken into warm memories of the wonderful soul she possessed.

Be at peace, Mother You live on in our hearts now and forever

Predeceased by her husband (1990), Ena is survived by her daughter Carol McKinlay; son Donald McKinlay (Sheila); grandchildren, Amanda McKinlay (Kourosh Chaichian) and Dr. James (Jake) McKinlay (Dr. Anastasia Gridasova); greatgrandchildren, Logan and Vanora McKinlay; brother-in-law Dr. William McKinlay (June); and sister-in-law, Peggy McKinlay. In accordance with her wishes, there will be no funeral. In Ena’s memory, donations may be made to Lions Gate Hospital Foundation.

At BCAA we value trust, integrity and excellence in customer service. If you are interested in working for the Best Roadside Assistance team in BC, apply today.

Alfa Romeo may not be a household name in North America, but over in Europe the brand carries a racing history that speeds back more than a century. The 100 per cent Italian-made Giulia, a powerful and elegant luxury sedan, is the automaker’s latest attempt at success on this side of the Atlantic. PHOTO SUPPLIED WHEELBASE MEDIA

Alfa dog takes on luxury sedans

MALCOLM GUNN Contributing writer

The latest addition to the luxury sport-sedan club has plenty going for it in terms of style and what’s under the hood. The 2017 Giulia should also give the Alfa Romeo brand some much-needed visual wow with buyers in North America. Unless you’re a serious car nut, the name Alfa

Romeo won’t have significant meaning for you. At all. Yet the Italy-based, century-old automaker (now part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) traces its roots back more than a century and is practically a household word in most of Europe. It’s also the company that gave Enzo Ferrari his start as a racecar driver and team manager back in the 1920s, when Alfa Romeo was enjoying great success on the Grand Prix circuit.

The Giulia (pronounced “Julia”) is the second significant Alfa model to arrive here in this decade, following behind the 4C sports car, and just ahead of the Stelvio hatchback wagon due later this year. All are basically lowvolume models that appeal to anyone with a penchant for something non-traditional (i.e. not originating from Germany, Great Britain, Japan or North America). True to form, the Giulia is

a 100 per cent made-in-Italy machine that in many ways resembles a BMW 5 Series from a generation or two ago. When viewed head-on, however, the triangular-shaped grille is a dead giveaway as to its Alfa origins. The sedan’s hunkered-down stance broadly hints at an ability to defeat the wind, but the rest of the body, although elegant, is actually bone-stock traditional. Elegant is also an apt

descriptor for the Giulia’s passenger compartment. Switches and knobs are held to a minimum, while the dash cover is stitched leather. The trim for the dash and door panels is wood, aluminum or carbon fiber, depending on the model, and fits like a Giorgio Armani suit. Although the 5 Series is on the Giulia’s radar, the car more closely resembles the BMW 3 Series in overall length and wheelbase, and also

weighs about the same as the Bimmer. That gives the Alfa a decent power-to-weight ratio, especially considering the choice of engines. A turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder that produces 280 horsepower and 306 foot-pounds of torque is standard for the base Giulia and Giulia Ti trim levels. Alfa claims the Giulia will hit 60 miles per hour (96 km/h) from a standing start in 5.5 seconds.

Don’t let pooch become a projectile Once upon a time, going places in my car was a relatively simple affair.

Many dogs love going for car rides, but it is important to keep them properly secured so that they don’t become a cabin missile if a crash occurs. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD

I got in, put on my seatbelt, fired up the engine, and left. But now I have children, and that means that using the car requires the strength of a professional wrestler, the rigging knowledge of a parachutist, and the patience of the Dalai Lama. Getting ready to go somewhere takes a lot more time and tends to erode one’s sanity. One’s remaining sanity, I should say. There’s a very good reason for all these buckles and belts and fasteners, and it’s that children are precious, and should be protected from harm. It’s all part of that same ethos where you’re supposed to cherish your offspring, and be patient with them, and not sell them off to passing circuses. As an aside, the fact that I still have my children says a lot less about my ability to maintain said patience, and a lot more about the decline of the travelling circus industry in the modern age. As usual, I digress, because I’m not here to talk about children at all. What I’m here to discuss are the so-called “fur babies” that many people on the North Shore cherish and love as much or maybe more than their own children. Dogs. While it seems to be the unofficial policy of this newspaper to have at least two headlines talking about dog-related municipal bylaws per week, I would like to start by pointing out that my inspiration for this week’s column didn’t come from some editorial directive. Instead, it came during the

Grinding Gears Brendan McAleer school drop-off when, after untangling my brood from their car seats to the accompanying sounds of“NoNoNoNo ICANDOITMYSELF WAAAH,” I walked them past a parked Nissan which had an absolutely enormous labradoodle sitting in the front seat. Let me first say that I am absolutely a dog person. I had dogs for nearly every single moment of my childhood, and I love them. I’m not so fond of those little yappy dogs that look like somebody cut the end off a mop and then tied a pink bow to it, but to each their own. I do not have a dog at present because, as mentioned, I already have two children and I simply can’t handle having to feed yet another yowling beast. Besides which, I’m teaching the younger one to fetch, so it’s basically the same thing. For the most part, dog owners on the North Shore are relatively conscientious people, although some have a relatively lax approach to leash laws, and there are those few bad apples who apparently think that poop bags are to be left in the

woods as if by the Easter Bunny. However, it would seem to be the exception rather than the rule that people secure their dogs properly in the car. Take this glandular labradoodle for example. Being part poodle has given it long legs, and being part Labrador has given it considerable mass. It must be a 60 pound dog or more. Now, think about what happens when you get into a crash with 60 pounds of unrestrained labradoodle flapping around the cabin. Obviously, there would be some wear and tear on the animal itself, and that is of course sad, and Sarah McLachlan will probably show up and start singing “in the arms of the angel.” What is perhaps more troubling is what will happen to you if the equivalent of a sack of cement – in dog form – goes flying around your car’s interior. It would be, in the words of my eldest daughter’s favourite phrase, an unmitigated disaster. And yet people seem perfectly happy to just throw a blanket on the backseat and hope for the best. It’s even worse when you see someone driving along with a small dog on their lap. Do you not recognize the need to use both hands when you’re driving? Do you not understand that a bump hard enough to make the airbag go off will result in you having a Pekingese permanently lodged in your peritoneum? The best solution is a wellsecured dog crate in the back

Giulia sets Nürburgring record for production sedans From page 42

Those numbers are tame by comparison to the Giulia Quadrifoglio (Italian for fourleaf clover). This version is bent on crushing the BMW M5, Cadillac ATS-V and similar performance models with a twin-turbocharged 2.9-litre V-6. It pumps out 505 h.p. and 443 foot-pounds of torque and dances to 60 miles per hour from rest in a mere 3.8 seconds. The Quadrifoglio also holds the record for quickest production sedan to circle the benchmark Nürburgring test track in Germany. Both engines are mated to eight-speed automatic transmissions (a six-speed manual gearbox is rumoured to arrive later), but for all-wheel drive, the four-cylinder is your only choice.

Giulia acquisition begins at $50,900 (including destination fees). That gets you into a well-equipped sedan with dual-zone climate control, leather-covered seats (10-way powered in front), pushbutton start, 17.8-centimetre touch-screen and backup sensors. The Giulia Ti includes heated front seats and steering wheel, 22.3-centimetre display and 18-inch wheels (17-inchers are standard). Stepping up to the Quadrifoglio inflates the Giulia’s price to $90,600, but puts a host of specialized content into play. There’s a Quadrifoglio-specific grille and wheels, carbon-fiber hood, roof, trunk spoiler and a driver-adjustable lower front valence (splitter). Brembo brakes with carbon-ceramic pads are

also included as part of the Quadrifoglio’s standard content. Inside are sport bucket seats, carbon-fibre dash trim and, most importantly, adjustable suspension and powertrain settings, including a race mode. Regardless of model, the hard-charging Giulia provides the best reason ever for establishing a connection with a fast, fun and relatively affordable Italian.

The body of the Alfa Romeo Giulia is elegant but traditional, with a wide stance that hints at the power within. PHOTOS SUPPLIED WHEELBASE MEDIA

North Americans ready to learn a little Italian From page 45

MARKET POSITION Alfa Romeo is taking aim at the established players at the premium end of the sedan scale. As a newcomer in this bracket, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is gambling big that the brand’s sporting reputation will win the day.

The Giulia is a mostly understated affair, although that triangle grille is a dead giveaway as to its Alfa origins. PHOTOS SUPPLIED WHEELBASE MEDIA

POINTS Bold front end differs from the rest of the understated body. Crisp, clean

interior adds a touch of class. Base turbocharged engine delivers more than enough power for most buyers. Quadrifoglio model is pricey, but not when compared to high-performance versions of similar-sized European models. Only fans of Euro-spec sedans will “get” this car. ACTIVE SAFETY Blind-spot warning with cross-traffic alert; active cruise control; emergency braking; forward collision warning (all optional). FUEL ECONOMY 12.8 (litres per 100

kilometres) city and 5.7 highway.

Competition AUDI A6 Solid, comfortable sedan offers a range of power choices. The S6 makes 450 h.p. Base price: $60,400. CADILLAC CTS Mid-range four-door surprises with luxury and a 640 h.p. CTS-V. Base price: $51,700 BMW 5 SERIES 2018 AWD model returns with the usual tame and a fullon 560-horse M model. Base price: $63,700. – Wheelbase Media

of an SUV, but there are other options as well. At a minimum, a proper dog gate in the back of your hatchback will ensure that your dog stays in the trunk, and doesn’t come hurtling over your shoulder like a furry cannonball. If you’ve only got a sedan or similar, there are restraint devices that work a bit like seatbelts. The best seems to be the

Sleepypod Clickit Utility. Any of these options will probably make taking the dog for a drive a bit more of a pain. Your dog may not love being restrained in the car, and will yearn for the days it could stick its head out the window and smell all those interesting smells. But on the other hand, owning a dog comes with all sorts of responsibilities to go with the joy of being able to blame your farts on an animal. As with parenting, it’d be a lot easier to just do things the easy way. But it wouldn’t be right. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com
