Police complaint filed

Hollyburn family alleges misconduct in off-ice scuffle

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A West Vancouver family has filed official police complaints about an incident that happened during a minor hockey game at Hollyburn Country Club, alleging an offduty RCMP officer punched a 14-year-old player in the head, and that it was not investigated properly by the West Vancouver Police Department.

One of those complaints, about the West Vancouver Police investigation, has subsequently

been dismissed, but the other complaint has been accepted.

Mike Rogers, grandfather of the teenage hockey player, filed complaints with both the RCMP’s Civilian Review and Complaints Commission and the B.C. Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner over the way he says his grandson Jordan was “sucker punched” by a parent from the opposite team, an off-duty RCMP officer from Surrey, during an off-ice altercation.

West Van man dies hiking Grouse Grind BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

The BC Coroners Service has identified the man who died on the Grouse Grind Wednesday as Sean Henley.

The 55-year-old West Vancouver man was at the three-quarter point of the Grind when he collapsed and suffered a heart attack.

A bystander tried to resuscitate Henley. District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services members raced to the scene and performed

CPR but he was pronounced dead on the trail.

Henley was familiar with the trail and had climbed it before.

North Vancouver RCMP has turned the file over to the coroner, which continues to investigate the death.

Staff from Metro Vancouver, which owns most of the land the Grouse Grind traverses, closed the Grind trailhead gate for several hours while first responders were on the scene.

A spokesperson for Grouse Mountain Resorts Ltd. declined to comment.

Argyle rebuild awaits approval Target date for opening of new school is Sept. 2019 JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

The NorthVancouver School District is inching towards a deal with the province for a $49.9million rebuild of Argyle secondary, but nothing’s official yet.

Recently, the school district called for proposals from architectural firms interested in working on the project. Administrators hope to interview potential architectural teams by the end of this month, so everything’s ready when the rebuild gets the green light.

But so far, there’s still no signed deal with the province committing money to the project.

The ministry has asked for a detailed update on anticipated costs and for confirmation that the school district has a solid plan to pay back its existing $6.2million capital debt before approving the project.

Realistically, a contract to build a new school may not be in place until school starts in September, said superintendent John Lewis.

The target date for opening a new Argyle school is now September of 2019, which means students who

A Blueridge man is being praised as a Good Samaritan after finding a lost dog in the strangest of places – in his street’s storm drain.

Hyannis Drive resident Randy Crighton first suspected something was up on Sunday when his normally mellow “English yellow lab/something-cross” Ginger jumped up and started to bark.

Crighton could hear a small dog barking somewhere outside, but couldn’t find the source.

“I looked down and there’s the dog inside the storm sewer,” he said.

Crighton muscled off the heavy storm grate and pulled out the little Jack Russell terrier.

“He wasn’t hurt. He was

Three years ago, Argyle was identified as being at high risk for serious damage in the event of an earthquake.

For the past 10 years, replacement of seismically risky Argyle and

Handsworth secondary schools have been top priorities on the North Vancouver School District’s capital plan.

A seismic upgrade for Argyle was announced prior to the last provincial election.

Argyle and Handsworth are among the 38 high-risk schools around the province that have been approved for seismic funding, but are

without a signed project agreement in place.

Part of the reason for delay hinges on the Ministry of Education being satisfied the North Vancouver school district has a plan in place to fund the difference between the estimated costs of a $40-million seismic upgrade and the cost of a complete rebuild, estimated at costing anywhere between $9 mil-

lion and $15 million more.

The school district is planning to use money from the sale of former school properties, including Keith Lynn, Monterey, Ridgeway and Braemar to pay for that, as well as pay off the $6.2 debt previously taken out to rebuild Sutherland and Westview schools.That debt must be paid off by the end of December.

shaken. He was afraid. He was pretty dirty,” Crighton said. “He was happy to get out.”

Luckily, the dog had a collar bearing his name, Rupert, and master’s phone number.

Owner Brady Fleguel, who had just moved to Lynn Valley from Vancouver in February, described Crighton’s call as “incredible.”

Flugeul had spent the morning walking the trails behind Hyannis Drive with his kids aged one, four and six.

Although it’s in his breed’s rat-hunting nature to want to explore and get into small places, 12-yearold Rupert isn’t known for disappearing, Fleguel said.

“Rupert is off leash all the time. He’s the kind of dog that likes to explore everything but you don’t

have to worry about him,” he said.

Fleguel and the kids frantically searched the area, calling out Rupert’s name, but had no luck. After about 40 minutes, Fleguel had to get the kids home.

“I was caught between a rock and a hard place. My wife was working.We don’t know a lot of people around here,” he said.

Once home, Fleguel began calling up friends in the mountain biking community and spreading the word on Facebook.

“I was next to tears.We’d had him for so long. He’s our family dog. My kids were just so sad that he was missing and that we might not see him again,” Fleguel said. “I just kept telling them, ‘There’s lots of good people around here and he has a tag with a phone number on it. As long as

he hasn’t been eaten by a cougar or something, he’ll be found.’ He’s a really friendly dog. He’d come to anybody who called him.”

It so happened that Rupert’s good luck came on the annual Blueridge Good Neighbour Day. “Sometimes the planets align in the right way, I guess,” Crighton said.

But the day’s drama wasn’t quite done. Not long after Rupert was on his way home to Lynn Valley, an RCMP cruiser showed up in front of Crighton’s home. A woman who rode by on her bike earlier in the day heard Rupert’s barking and called the police, worrying the dog was in the cab of Crighton’s truck.

Far from raining cats and dogs, which would fully explain a Jack Russell terrier in the storm drain, Sunday was a hot and sunny day.

It took some convincing, but eventually the officer believed the admittedly strange story.

“With the temperatures and the sunniness on Sunday, that would have been a fatal or near-fatal mistake to make,” Crighton said. “I was quite glad (the RCMP) did come out and respond really quickly to such a call because there are fools out there who do things like this and animals do get hurt.”

Neither Crighton nor Fleguel could guess how Rupert wound up where he did. After poring over the District of North Vancouver engineering department’s storm system map, district spokeswoman Mairi Welman said Rupert most likely found his way into the pipe at an opening where the Baden Powell Trail crosses Hyannis Drive.

The ongoing labour dispute between Capilano University and its non-faculty staff has escalated into the union withdrawing a section of its IT staff and picketing during a major event on campus.

Seven IT workers who have had their work struck picketed on campus on Tuesday evening as the university was holding its annual Discover Cap event — typically used for prospective students to decide whether they will register.

Of the 1,000 invitees, only about 200 crossed the picket line to speak with deans and management.

“It certainly was an enormous disappointment for me,” said Rick Gale, Capilano University’s academic vice-president. “This is going to be a problem for the academic side of the house. I’m worried this will result in fewer registrations in the fall. Fewer registrations would mean that courses would be cancelled and it’s a possibility that people would no longer have their jobs.”

COPE negotiator Karen Rockwell said the IT workers received an outpouring of support from the people who showed up for the event and that she hopes it would motivate the administration to come back to the table prepared to bargain for a fair arrangement.

The two sides are separated on benefits.

The university has offered 50 per cent coverage for non-pharmacare formulary drugs in exchange for reducing overtime pay and adjusting the discounted parking rates staff get. The union is asking for 80 per cent coverage, noting that the administration and faculty both get 100 per cent coverage.

There are no mediation sessions scheduled though the two sides are also poised to meet at the Labour Relations Board next week, after COPE says the administration brought in replacement workers for an IT project.

Complaint lodged against off-duty Mountie From page 1 “My grandson is adamant that he was the one who hit him,” said Rogers, who said Jordan was shaken up and suffered bruises and cuts to his face as a result.

“The off-duty RCMP officer cold-cocked my grandson who is 14 and a half,” he said.

Rogers said West Vancouver Police spoke to his grandson and he told them what happened, but so far there have been no moves to charge the off-duty officer, although the investigation into what happened at Hollyburn remains open.

So far the only person charged has been Rogers’ son-in-law, Christian Jarvis — who is the 45-year-old father of the teen he says was sucker-punched —after he grabbed the shirt of the RCMP officer’s father during a separate scuffle at the game.

Crown counsel has now determined that case will be diverted, meaning Jarvis

likely won’t be left with a criminal record or make further court appearances.

Rogers says he doesn’t condone the actions of his son-in-law.

But he says he still thinks what happened to his grandson is wrong.

The police complaints are the latest fallout from a minor hockey game gone wrong at the private club on March 6.

The Hollyburn Huskies AAA bantam team was facing a visiting Semiahmoo team at the club when a brawl broke out between the 13- and 14-year-olds on the ice.

“The game was completely out of control,” said Vanessa Jarvis, Jordan’s mother.

Upstairs in the viewing room, verbal sparring between parents also allegedly turned physical when Christian Jarvis grabbed an older man by the shirt and shook him.

But Rogers said what happened next is more shocking.

His grandson, who had

been ejected from the game and had gone to see what the fight among the adult spectators was about, was grabbed by the scruff of the neck and punched in the head by the off-duty officer, Rogers alleges.

Since then, Rogers said he’s heard from other parents at the game who witnessed the punch. But those people are afraid to speak publicly and have so far refused to talk to police, he said, for fear of harming their standing in the hockey community.

“I think it’s a display of cowardice,” said Rogers.

“You put your own selfinterest against speaking up about an assault on a minor.”

Cam Barker, a friend of the Jarvis family, said he had just stopped to watch the game when the fight in the upstairs viewing area broke out.

Parker said he did not see any punch being thrown, but he saw the off-duty officer holding Jordan by the scruff of the neck by one hand with his other hand

cocked in a fist.

“I stepped in front of him and said, ‘Dude, you’re about to hit a 14-year-old kid,’” said Barker.

He said at that point, the man immediately dropped his hands.

Parker said he gave a statement to the West Vancouver Police about what he saw. But Rogers said so far, nothing has come of that.

Rogers said according to those he’s talked to, as soon as the West Vancouver Police arrived at the game, “The RCMP officer pulled out his badge and basically took control of things.”

“It smells of police protecting police,” he said.

So far, however, authorities don’t agree.

A complaint filed by Rogers with the Office of Police Complaint Commissioner about the way West Vancouver police conducted the investigation was recently ruled inadmissible.

An investigator with that office told Rogers in an email this week, “Based

Car flips, rolls down Cypress road BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

West Vancouver police say a North Vancouver man escaped with a close call after his vehicle went off Cypress Bowl Road and rolled down a steep embankment.

First responders raced to the scene near Chippendale Road just after 9 a.m. Wednesday when workers at a nearby construction site noticed the car rolling.

Police say the car was heading south when the it drifted off into the left ditch where it continued for about 50 metres before

it struck rocks at a dry creek bed and flipped over, rolling sideways down the embankment, eventually coming to rest upright.

The driver, a 42-yearold North Vancouver man, was taken to hospital and put into a medically induced coma.

By Thursday, he had regained consciousness and investigators say his head injuries are not as serious as they first feared.

He told family members he remembers reaching for something that had dropped, though he doesn’t remember what, before the accident.

“It’s a teachable

moment for keeping your focus on the road,” said Const. Jeff Palmer, West Vancouver Police Department spokesman.

Investigators are planning to interview the

driver next week after he’s had some time to recover.

Palmer said police are not considering any charges at this point, and alcohol has been ruled out as a factor in the crash.

on our analysis we did not see any conduct that would meet the threshold of misconduct under the Police Act.” The RCMP complaint against the off-duty officer himself has been accepted, said Rogers.

West Vancouver Police department spokesman Const. Jeff Palmer said the department is aware of the complaints, but

refused to comment on the issue, saying that would be inappropriate.

“Obviously people have the right to express concerns in the form of a complaint,” he said.

Sgt. Rob Vermeulen, spokesman for the RCMP’s E Division B.C. headquarters, said the RCMP is aware of the complaint but would not comment on it.

VIEWPOINT PUBLISHED BY NORTH SHORE NEWS A DIVISION OF LMP PUBLICATION LTD. PARTNERSHIP, 100-126 EAST 15TH ST., NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. V7L 2P9. PETER KVARNSTROM, PUBLISHER. CANADIAN PUBLICATIONS MAIL SALES PRODUCT AGREEMENT NO. 40010186.

Worth addressing H ere’s a trick question: Where do you live? Is it A) In Ottawa? or B) Not in Ottawa? While it seems straightforward, to those senators occupying Canada’s house of sober second thought, apparently it’s a real stumper.

The seemingly perplexing question of whether Mike Duffy has lived in Ottawa or PEI for the past several decades is one at the heart of his criminal trial focused on Senate expenses.

Turns out, he’s not the only one who can’t figure out where he lives. As pundits have pointed out following auditor general Mark Ferguson’s scathing examination of Senate expenses released this week, amnesia is rampant in the upper house.

Senators — who stand to pocket considerably more cash if they conclude their principal home is outside the nation’s capital — appear to have a lot of trouble figuring out where most of their waking

MAILBOX

hours are spent.

They also have trouble figuring out when they’re working and when they’re not. In the senators’ alternate version of reality, golfing, fishing and attending a friends’ 50th wedding anniversary celebration are all considered work, and therefore to be paid on the taxpayers’ dime.

We’re guessing most people in Averageville, Canada will be none too happy with that.

The auditor’s report is not a flattering document. It details a culture of entitlement so entrenched that the idea of paying for one’s meals, taxis or airfare while on personal business occurred to very few. Given the option of beer or champagne, senators always chose champagne. With caviar on the side.

Canadians have the right to be revolted and to demand reform.

Tanker comments misleading Dear Editor: Re: Oil Tanker Spills an Unacceptable Risk, June 3 Mailbox In my opinion, (letterwriter) Virginia Tupper of the North Shore NOPE (an anti-Kinder Morgan project organization) grossly misleads your readers by stating that Kinder Morgan’s TERMPOL (marine risk) evidence for their expansion indicates “…an expected incident every 64 years per tanker” with 79 per cent of all incidents categorized as “serious or total loss.”

Her claim about the evidence is true but irrelevant. This part of the TERMPOL 3.8 marine risk study, page 7 and 8, is not a prediction for the (Trans Mountain Pipeline) expansion, but rather is clearly marked

as a review of “Global Tanker Incidents” 20022011, where accident frequency and severity were immensely worse than Canada or B.C. Her comment on the percentage of incidents that are serious or total loss also refers to global traffic.

In short, in my opinion, her fear-mongering comments are highly misleading, in that a typical reader would infer that these statements referred to Kinder Morgan’s British Columbia project. They do not.

Ms. Tupper might have noted the comment on TERMPOL 3.8, page seven, regarding global tanker incidents: “It should be noted that only a fraction of the total incidents led to oil spills.”

She might also have

CONTACTUS

mentioned, in the global context, that since 1970, tanker traffic (billion tonmiles) has increased about 60 per cent; yet, “large” spills (over 700 tonnes) have decreased from their mid-1970s peaks by about 95 per cent.

There was only one such spill across the world in

2014. (Source: ITOPF).

Canada in its marine history since 1970 has only had two large tanker spills, both old single-hulled vessels in the 1970s on the east coast. B.C., in more than a century of tanker operations, has never had See Tankers page 7

Burnaby spill cause clarified Dear Editor: Re: Oil Tanker Spills An Unacceptable Risk, June 3 Mailbox Unfortunately,Virginia Tupper’s letter is seriously misleading when referring to the Burnaby oil spill in 2007.

As she stated, “I would remind readers of the 2007 rupture” (of Kinder Morgan’s pipeline). In reality the “rupture” was a puncture caused by a maintenance crew working on a sewer line repair using a backhoe.This incident should not be interpreted as an indication of inherent risk or lack of safety with pipeline technology per se.

Uncast ballot in transit plebiscite leads to regret Dear Editor: I did not vote on the TransLink plebiscite, and now I regret it.

After nine hours of work and a considerable amount of caffeine, I stood waiting for the bus to take me home. A few minutes later it arrived, and the masses pushed their way to the doors.Then a curious thing happened— something I had been grateful for in the past; the bus driver got off the bus.

Not a single person paid for a ticket and not a single person tapped their $194million compass cards.

Sorry, I guess only $40 million came from taxpayers.

TransLink estimates that approximately $18 million in lost revenue occurs each year because of fare evasion.

It does not require more

transit police to eliminate this, the bus driver just has to stay on the bus; an ingenious plan, I know.

This travesty that we are all honourable people who pay our fares without pressure is grossly inaccurate. It brings upon a situation eerily familiar to that of the “free rider” problem found in basic economics, in which people use a public good without paying.

I am astounded that TransLink has the audacity to ask for more money when they cannot even generate their potential revenue. I regret not voting No. Lastly, I must give credit to the transit police officer who ticketed a gentleman I know; you spelled his name wrong, but you tried.

VIEWPOINT

Accountability is not a dirty word to be avoided Eventually, in the life of a government, arrogance and cynicism seem to inevitably find their way into the core of its existence.

After 15 years in power, we may be witnessing that with the B.C. Liberal government, which has snagged itself on two hooks, neither of which they are demonstrating much of an ability to wriggle free from.

One of those hooks is the festering sore that is the mysterious firings of more than a half-dozen health ministry drug researchers back in 2012.The other is the mounting evidence of a wanton disregard for keeping records and making them public when requested.

Both of these issues share a common theme: a lack of accountability.

In both instances, we see a government intent on skirting the truth, of being evasive, and on hiding things, no matter how mundane some of those things may be.

The health firings continue to be one of the more astonishing episodes in B.C. political history.

Seven people had their lives altered (one committed suicide) and the government essentially lied about what happened.

The latest revelation

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge — that there was no RCMP probe after all, despite the government claiming there was one, in the apparent hope that a police investigation would lend credence that something bad had indeed been committed by those fired — is truly breathtaking in how it put to the lie a key part of the government’s narrative.

Government officials (Premier Christy Clark being the latest) keep apologizing for this tawdry tale, but no one can say who, exactly, pulled the pin on these firings and who authorized the phony RCMP story.The whole sorry episode is starting to resemble a Nixon-like coverup.

There is, apparently, nothing on the written record when it comes to government records. No one

wrote anything down, a sign I suppose that those involved in this outrageous behaviour fundamentally knew that what was being done was wrong, and they didn’t want their names attached to anything near it.

This aversion to recordkeeping is not an isolated example. For years, a culture has been building within the B.C. government (and likely other provincial governments as well) that avoids putting things on the record, preferring to practice what Freedom of Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham has called an “oral government.”

And so we have the latest allegation from a former political staffer in the B.C. Liberal government.Tim Duncan claims when he resisted deleting emails that related to a freedom of information request that had come to his ministerial office, a senior staffer grabbed his keyboard and deleted the dozen emails himself.

If true (Denham is investigating) this incident speaks to an almost cheerful disregard for the law, or at least the spirit of it.

When routine freedom of information requests come back with absolutely no records relating to the issue

Tankers sail major Canadian waters From page 6 a reportable spill from an oil tanker plying our waters (except canola oil). Tankers sail all major Canadian

waters, including the Great Lakes, the source of drinking water for Ontario and many American states, without incident.

Nothing guarantees we

will not have an incident someday, but misleading information does not advance the debate.

John Hunter North Vancouver

5 Years!

Celebrating 4

at hand — a recurring event, it appears — you know something bad is going on.

Firing employees for false reasons, refusing to create a public record and then destroying it if it’s requested — these are the actions of a government that appears ready to go rogue if that’s what it thinks is required.

The B.C. government

can continue to talk about building an LNG industry, or about saying “yes” to industrial projects, or about how its budget is balanced year after year.

But arrogance and cynicism can wash away all the good that may flow from those accomplishments. If the public sees enough of it over time, it may start to resemble moral rot,

which can be fatal for any government.

The B.C. Liberals best take heed, and show that accountability is not a dirty word to be avoided, but is in fact an attribute that a truly transparent government would want to embrace.

District considers renaming William Griffin New community centre on track to open in fall of 2016

MARIA SPITALE-LEISK Mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com

William Griffin’s name will likely not be over the front doors when the new recreation centre onWest Queens Road opens.

Some District of North Vancouver councillors struggled to recall who Griffin was and his contributions to the community, when deciding what to name the new facility during a committee of the whole meeting May 25.

Griffin was a one-time district alderman — that’s all council could come up with.

Relying on information from a former councillor, Mayor RichardWalton characterized Griffin as a “very likeable bachelor.” But beyond that, he added, Griffin’s name would not exist in district corporate records.

The North Shore News canvassed some longtime NorthVancouver residents and historians who were also hard-pressed to remember Griffin and why the pool, built in 1975 at 851West Queens Rd., was named after him.

A British expat, Griffin served on district council for a decade and was “one of Capilano’s best-known oldtimers,” according to his obituary, dug up in the NorthVancouver Museum and Archives. Griffin died at the age of 72, while mowing his lawn, in 1965.

In moving forward with a new name for the centre,Walton proposed “Delbrook,” because it pays homage to the geographical history of the area, along with the former high school.

With the consolidation of William Griffin and Delbrook centres, “that name will die, apart from the street level. And I think it should continue,” said Walton.

Mosquito Creek is another name that’s being considered by council to replaceWilliam Griffin.

The sports field adjacent to the rec centre on Queens, meanwhile, should retain the Griffin name, suggested Walton.

When deciding on a name for a new public facility, under revamped district policy, council can honour a well-respected, well-recognized community member, but only if that person has been deceased for at least two years.

Last year the district renamed the Grant Connell Tennis Centre to the North Vancouver Tennis Centre, at the request of Connell himself, who said his realestate business was negatively impacted over perception that he owned and operated the public tennis facility.

But, in this case, it appears council will be going with a geographical tribute for the new swimming pool and surrounding facility — either Delbrook or Mosquito Creek — when they decide in the coming weeks.

North Shore Historical Society president John Stuart said it makes sense to give public facilities a geographical marking because people would know exactly where it is within a block or two. “Historical reference is always good because the geographical area tends to stay there, and that’s often useful,” added Stuart. “It was (named) William Griffin rec centre or pool for a good reason then, and there may be a good reason to name it something else now.Time moves on.”

INQUIRING REPORTER The sizzling Lower Mainland real estate market is a hot topic of conversation around the water cooler these days. With the local housing market getting more and more out of reach for first-time buyers who can’t keep up with the cost of living here, many are wondering if one or more levels of government should step in and create measures — increased taxation, for example — to deter one activity that drives the prices up: the “house flip,” which is often done on the North Shore by offshore investors.

What do you think? Weigh in at -,-"(,%$3/.

— )'.!' #1!+'0"&*"!,2

Gil Nielsen North Vancouver “Yeah, they should. It’s greed, the flipping of the houses.”

Should the government impose a business tax for property flipping?

Mary Tasi North Vancouver “There will always be bidding wars — we should be looking for innovative housing solutions.”

Mehran Aghaei North Vancouver “I’m searching for an apartment for my family, but it’s difficult to find.Yes, the government should help.”

Steve Torres North Vancouver “I would say it requires multi-level government intervention; I want all three levels to work together.”

Wade Baker North Vancouver “This is paradise for people to live in — but only for the wealthy.The lower-incomers end up in Hope.”

Traffic cams added at N. Van highway exits New traffic cameras on Highway 1 will give North Shore motorists a better read on traffic conditions for the oft-congested freeway before they head out the door.

The cameras, installed along Highway 1 at the Capilano Road,Westview Drive and Lonsdale Avenue exits, and each containing 12 new camera views, are now synced with the DriveBC website to provide motorists real-time traffic and weather updates.

The Lower Mainland is prone to rapid weather changes that can make driving more challenging, stated West Vancouver-

Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan in a release, adding these new webcams will help motorists better prepare for the road conditions.

Being able to plan ahead for road closures and traffic backlog is important to drivers, added North Vancouver-Seymour MLA Jane Thornthwaite.

The new Highway 1 webcams can be viewed on the DriveBC website: drivebc.ca/#webcams.

Visionaries find their own way ■ Photography Visionaries by Mary Warner Marie, Laurence King Publishers, 312 pages, $53.

In every artistic field there are people who break new ground, who constantly push the boundaries, who through their work take the entire group to a new level.

Sometimes this is done from instinct, other times through grit and determination, in many cases they don’t necessarily know where they are heading but believe they

are on the path to something better.These visionaries aren’t always given the credit they deserve at the time but are later recognized for their contribution.

In this collection of noteworthy photographers there are many different types of leaders present.

Some like Ansel Adams have become icons in the world of photography while others like Lewis Hine who used his photography to fight against child labour contributed so much but died nearly

penniless.

MaryWarner Marien presents the work chronologically of 75 photographers. Some achieved great public recognition for their work and others may not be as well known but influenced many who followed. Each one is shown through a main single image, a one-page description of their background and career with a portrait, and then two more pages of photos and a timeline.

While the limited number

Our collective short attention spans, thanks to Baby Einstein and those Internet cat videos, are to blame for the fresh disaster unfolding at Isla Nublar where, 22 years after Jurassic Park, genetically modified prehistoric beasts are being created because “let’s be honest: no one’s impressed by a dinosaur anymore.”

HURRY!

Today’s instantgratification demand may also account for the relative lack of exposition and character development and the ceaseless action found in JurassicWorld: who has time to watch ripples form in a glass of water (an iconic scene from the original) when you can cut right to the chase; and then to another chase, and then another.

Steven Spielberg’s 1993’s earth-stomping and groundbreaking original blended CG and animatronics for an experience like no other.

There are nods to that film scattered throughout the film — an original Jeep YJ, night-vision goggles

— which ignores the two sequels and sells itself as a direct descendant to the first film.

Picking up the mantle from John Hammond is Simon Masrani (Irrfan Khan), who has turned Jurassic Park into a mammoth luxury theme park that attracts some 20,000 visitors a day to ride baby triceratopses and watch dinos devour sacrificial goats.Whenever attendance lags scientists working behind-the-scenes (including BD Wong, back from the original) introduce a new species and the numbers spike. But it’s an expensive business; thus the need for a Starbucks and a Brookstone on the main

drag, and the temptation to court corporate sponsors to tag their brand onto creation’s most astounding beasts.

Strong on the stats but a stranger to emotion is operations manager Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard), who sends her assistant to greet her nephews when they arrive for Christmas vacation. Dino-nut Gray (Ty Simpkins) and his older brother/professional teen moper Zach (Nick Robinson), unimpressed

by Aunt Claire’s lack of enthusiasm, naturally ditch the assistant as soon as they can and roam the park freely.

Epic storytelling in Jurassic sequel From page 20

Unfortunately, also roaming the park freely is the Indominus rex, a new and highly underestimated mutant strain of dinosaur that outsmarts his handlers and escapes from the enclosure just when Claire was having Navy man Owen (Chris Pratt) examine the structure for potential weaknesses.

It’s all about the dinosaurs, of course, but without a strong leading man all that roaring would fall on deaf ears. Pratt’s likeability from Guardians of the Galaxy carries over to World, where he’s tasked with wrangling velociraptors, thawing one-date-wonder Claire and saving 22,000 people at the theme park.

There’s always one dingbat who wants to weaponize the nearest robot, dinosaur or tree, and idealistic Owen finds himself in a moral fight against Hoskins (Vincent d’Onofrio), who wants the beasts weaponized. “Extinct

animals have no rights,” our villain explains.

The supporting cast is strong enough, if cookie cutter. But let’s agree that we don’t want to linger for too long on the boys’ parents’ impending divorce when there’s something pretty cool scratching to get out of paddock nine.There are fewer surprises, in terms of plot, than the original but there are two or three great jump-in-your-seat scares.

What director Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) and his team do get right, they get really right.There’s humour from the very first frame but it never drowns out the intensity. Cinematography (John Schwartzman) is impressive and the visual effects — from park design to the myriad creatures — have improved greatly from the initial teaser trailers and are now superlative.

Not to mention a last-act new character that results in a truly epic dino-on-dino smackdown.

remember the View Master (the Jurassic Park and Lost World editions were big sellers for Fisher Price) that Gray uses at the start of the film.

The result is not a perfect film, but a perfect summer blockbuster. Because you didn’t ask for a masterpiece, “you asked for more teeth”.

And in that regard Jurassic World most definitely delivers.

Iranian Door Knockers open up lost world Project documents age-old architectural tradition ■ Iranian Door Knockers: Photographs by Alireza Jahanpanah, on now until July 4 at Deep Cove’s Seymour Art Gallery.

A new exhibition on now at the Seymour Art Gallery is showcasing the efforts undertaken by an artistically-minded husband and wife duo that, for the last 25 years, has sought to document Iranian door knockers through their travels to 20 Iranian towns and cities.

Architect Alireza Jahanpanah, born in Tehran, Iran, has been photographing and with the help of his wife Irandokht GH. Pirsaraee, born in Gilan, Iran, they’ve continued to research and analyze various aspects, ranging from the knockers’ shapes, designs and details, to the forging methods used in their creation.

Migrating to Canada in 2009, the couple, married for 23 years, and their son, now 11, came to North Vancouver in 2013. Upon arrival on the North Shore, Pirsaraee, a graphic designer See Door page 26

Door knockers determine visitor’s gender From page 24

and owner of IGH Design Studio, started volunteering at the Seymour gallery and was encouraged by staff members to submit a proposal to showcase she and her husband’s collection.

The show, entitled Iranian Door Knockers: Photographs by Alireza Jahanpanah, opened Wednesday and will remain on display until July 4.

This marks the couple’s first time exhibiting their work in Canada, an opportunity they’re extremely grateful for, allowing them to offer something of themselves to their new community, and providing them with a stronger sense of belonging, says Pirsarae, 52.

For more than 20 years, Jahanpanah, 51, has been working as an architect designing residential spaces in Iran and consulting for custom-made exhibition projects in the Middle East and Europe. His experience in designing and building residences led to

an interest in documentary photography, which has long been a passion.

The seeds for Jahanpanah’s interest in Iranian door knockers was the result of his travels related to a research project on indigenous and historical buildings and living spaces in Iran.

“I spent 200 days a year over the span of six years (1986-1992) travelling across Iran in search of basic indigenous examples of living spaces that I mapped, researched, discussed with locals and photographed,” says Jahanpanah in his artist statement. “Cataloguing, organizing and archiving the information took up the rest of my time in those years. As I passed through urban and rural architectural spaces, door knockers, a tiny part of a building, which can be touched by hands to create a sound that sends a simple message from the outside in, began to capture my interest as a poetic expression of people, architecture, culture

The door knockers are of both cultural and historical relevance in the context of Iran. For example, historically, dwellings were

equipped with different knockers for males and females, announcing which gender was at the door.

“What I’ve tried to show in these photographs is the

simple, vibrant, aesthetic talents of local people, which are rapidly fading away with the passage of time,” says Jahanpanah, in the statement. “I also

wanted to reveal a unique hidden cultural identity of door-knockers as a nation’s indigenous relics and the small part they play in our cultural and historical heritage.This is an example of how organic factors in old buildings and the spaces built by humans situated us in harmony with the universe and could make life in its details creative, rich and pleasurable.”

The couple hopes to publish their Iranian Door Knockers project as a photography book in Tehran in 2017.

The exhibition is featuring a selection of Jahanpanah’s more than 2,500 photographs, high quality inkjet prints on satin paper, as well as two antique door knockers.

A number of opening festivities have been planned for Sunday, including a talk and screening of a short film about this project at 2 p.m., followed by a reception with live Iranian music by Nava Music Centre at 3 p.m. Pirsaraee will be in attendance.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE

to FASHION & STYLE

Dress sharp in the summer heat Men don’t need to sacrifice style for comfort this season

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@hotmail.com

PLAID FOR DAD Prostate Cancer Canada launches fundraising and awareness campaign. page 30

fabric is, if there’s glue in the middle of it, it doesn’t breathe,” she says. “It’s like wearing a layer of Saran wrap.”

A better option, though more costly, is a jacket with canvas interlining stitched to the exterior fabric.

The summer season ushers in sunny skies, hot weather and a laid-back vibe that’s often reflected in people’s fashion choices.

But when it comes to menswear, the easy breezy look of flip-flops and Bermuda shorts, though certainly cool and comfortable, just doesn’t cut it for every occasion.

For some gents, a suit and tie is mandatory office attire year-round. Others have weddings and formal events to attend nearly every weekend. And some guys just like to suit up no matter the season.

Lower Lonsdale resident Melissa Cooley, a clothier with Tom James custom clothing company, is in the business of dressing men.

With dozens of North Shore executives and business owners in her portfolio, the local haberdasher has some sartorial advice for men who want to look sharp without sweating through their sport coat this summer.

Consider cut and colour Men’s suits have reached a point where they can’t get much snugger.

“Pants are short, jackets are short, everything is tight,” Cooley says.

Because of the cyclical nature of fashion, she expects styles will progressively loosen up over the next few years. “I’m encouraging my clients to do a slightly fuller chest in their suits this season,” she says.

When it comes to colour, avoid dark tones that absorb the heat. Instead, opt for heat-reflecting shades such as light grey, tan and pastels.

More adventurous dressers might try dusty teal or French blue — both popular in the European couture lines this season, Cooley says.

Choose the right fabric Summer is no time to be wearing heavy wool or tweed, so ditch the dense fabrics for lighter-weight, looser-weave alternatives.

Cooley says the perennial favourites, linen and cotton, remain popular choices because they are airy and breathable.That said, she stresses the importance of knowing how a suit jacket is constructed and avoiding those with fusible interlining glued to the outer shell. “No matter how lightweight your

Keep it casual When a full suit and tie aren’t necessary, men can still look stylish in more relaxed attire. On the North Shore, where offices tend to be more casual than in downtown Vancouver, Cooley says a collared shirt and slacks work well in the summer.

“Golf shirts are OK because it’s the North Shore and everyone’s going to always wear golf shirts,” she says, but adds that this type of shirt should not be paired

“That’s a big faux pas,” she says, suggesting loafers or lace-ups with rounded toes as better matches.

Another casual warmweather alternative to the classic suit is a crisp pair of jeans paired with a T-shirt and tailored blazer.

“Soft shirts are really trending under blazers right now,” Cooley says.

Play with accessories They don’t do much to help beat the heat, but accessories are a great way to inject personality into an outfit, especially in the warm-weather months when bright colours abound.

“Coloured socks are super OK for everyone of every single age group,” Cooley says. “And they don’t have to match anything.”

The same goes for pocket

squares. “It’s totally fine for those to completely clash with your socks. In fact, it’s encouraged,” she adds.

Ties should be slimmer than eight-and-a-half centimetres and, for the sake of professionalism, Cooley advises men to steer clear of cartoon character patterns.

With that in mind, don’t be afraid to play with colour.

“It’s really important to have fun with it,” she says.

Men — get over your ego, get over your embarrassment, and get the test.

That message may hit below the belt, but if it can save a few men from dying from prostate cancer, then Kirk McLean will keep on saying it.

“It’s a guy thing,” the former Vancouver Canucks goaltender says of men’s reluctance to get the prostate exam. “You don’t want anything tickled or played around with down there.”

The numbers have convinced him that the few seconds of awkwardness are worth it: one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer but, if it’s caught early, 90 per cent of them will survive.

“It really is ‘get over it,’” North Van’s Bob Lenarduzzi tells men who let the momentary embarrassment prevent them from being screened for the disease.

“You’re worried about how it’s perceived rather than having a long life.”

He’s got a powerful reason for speaking out: his father died of prostate cancer 19 years ago after a seven-year battle.

“I saw first-hand the devastation,” says the president of the Vancouver Whitecaps. “It’s down to the individual (to get tested).

If you want to tempt fate, you’re not giving yourself the best chance.”

The two Vancouver

sports icons joined Vancouver Canadians broadcaster Rob Fai, former B.C. Attorney General Wally Oppal and B.C. Chamber of Commerce president John Winter at the local launch of Wear Plaid for Dad, a new nation-wide fundraising initiative for Prostate Cancer Canada, at Robson Square on June 5.

Why is it, asks Prostate Cancer Canada president Rocco Rossi, that men think they can beat the one-in-amillion odds of winning a lottery but don’t think they’ll be the one who becomes the one-in-eight statistic?

As Fai said, one-in-eight “is a statistic that in baseball gets you a release.”

Twenty years ago, 6,500 Canadian men died of the disease every year.Thanks to donations for research and treatments, that number is down to 4,000, Rossi says.

That means that, “there are 2,500 dads, sons, husbands, co-workers who will be celebrating Father’s Day this year thanks to donors.That’s 2,500 men alive this year, next year and the year after.”

Wear Plaid for Dad is a workplace fundraising campaign that sees teams raise money by Father’s Day. Everyone celebrates — and helps spread the message about the need for screening — by wearing plaid on Friday, June 19.

The vice-admiral of the Canadian navy, the premier of Nova Scotia and the mayor of Toronto have issued challenges to their counterparts to Wear Plaid

For Dad. Lenarduzzi and Fai joined the chorus, calling on their teams’ fans to get involved.

Earlier this spring, the Task Force on Preventative Health Care said there was no evidence that PSA screening — a blood test that raises red flags if there’s a spike in the indicators that something may be wrong — reduced mortality rates.

John Winter, the CEO of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, says that he wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for the fact he was lucky enough to work for an employer who required that he be tested every year.

As a result, after tracking his benchmark PSA numbers for 30 years, when a test revealed that they were high, he was able to catch the cancer early and undergo treatments right away.

Wally Oppal’s prostate cancer was detected after “that god-awful digital test that we all hate.”When a biopsy revealed cancer, he had it treated and today, all of his PSA tests are fine. “That’s what can happen when you have early detection, but you can only have early detection if you take the time. I know how men hate that but I’m urging all of you to do it, if not for yourselves but for your families.”

Godspell gets a makeover at the Arts Club

Pop musical takes new approach ■ Arts Club Theatre Company presents Godspell, June 18 to Aug. 1 at the Granville Island Stage, 1585 Johnston St., Vancouver.Tickets start at $29, available at artsclub.com or by calling 604-687-1644.

CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

Before he started racking up film and television credits, Canadian actorVictor Garber famously portrayed Jesus Christ as a puffyhaired hippie in clown makeup and a Superman shirt in the 1972Toronto stage production of Godspell and the movie adaptation that followed a year later.

Subsequent versions of Stephen Schwartz’s pop musical about Jesus and the apostles have often represented Christ similarly, as a colourful harlequin-like figure. But Sara-Jeanne Hosie knew she wanted to take a different, more modern approach when she signed on to direct the forthcoming Arts Club Theatre Company production of Godspell.

“I love the original Godspell. I love the hippie, tickle trunk version of it because at the time it was written, that was present,” she says. “I think bringing it forward is a good thing so other people can relate.”

The show is comprised of a series of musical parables, based mainly on the Gospel of Matthew. “I don’t think you need to have any knowledge of the Bible to see this,” Hosie ensures.

“For any belief system, I think this show works.”

As director, her challenge was to make the teachings and Biblical characters relevant to modern-day audiences.

“What I realized was that Jesus didn’t need to be a man, Jesus didn’t need to be a woman, Jesus didn’t need to be a child. It just needed to be a person that we would follow,” she says.

She and her crew auditioned actors of all ages, races and genders for the lead role. In the end, it was Jennifer Copping who emerged as the obvious Messiah.

“Jen walked in the room and she spoke the words and she made the text so contemporary and we just knew we would follow her.”

Meanwhile, Judas will be played

Possibilities in science fiction are endless From page 13

North Shore News: In your career you have been drawn to science fiction roles or ones that surround the supernatural — what captivates you about that genre of film?

Julia Benson: As an actor I loving playing in all different genres but one of the great things about science fiction is that the possibilities for stories and characters are endless.

North Shore News: You have already won a Leo award — what did that mean to you to be recognized by your peers in the B.C. film industry?

Julia Benson: I was very honored to win a Leo for Stargate Universe. It means a great deal to be recognized by your peers and I was very proud to be a part of that show so it meant a lot to me.

North Shore News: What do you like about the Leo awards?

Julia Benson: The Leo Awards are a great night to celebrate all the fantastic work that is done in Vancouver. We have such a talented community of people that work very hard

and it’s nice to have a few nights to honor everyone.

I am particularly proud of the independent film scene in Vancouver right now. So many incredible people are coming together to support projects that they believe in and I feel very lucky to be a part of that community!

North Shore News: Let’s talk about your film, What an Idiot.You produced this film and it stars you and your husband.What was that experience like, working with Peter?

Julia Benson: I produced What an Idiot and helped develop the story and characters and Peter wrote and directed it. I love working with my husband. I trust him implicitly. He has a comedic gift as an actor and filmmaker and I feel very lucky to be able to make movies with him.

North Shore News: What was the inspiration for the script?

Julia Benson: We tried to think of the biggest obstacle a guy could give himself when attempting to get the woman of his dreams and we thought: What would happen if he got stuck in a lie and told her he was gay?

North Shore News: Where was What an Idiot shown?

How do you think the film was received by audiences?

Julia Benson: What an Idiot premiered at the Whistler Film Festival, played the L.A. Comedy Fest and just recently screened at the Hoboken International Film Festival.

So far audiences have responded really well!

We are currently working out our distribution for North America and will be announcing those details soon.We can’t wait to share the film with a wider audience!

North Shore News: Was this your first foray into producing? How did you like the experience and would you do it again? What was the biggest challenge?

Julia Benson: What an Idiot is the third project that Peter and I have produced.

Our first project was a TV pilot that we co-created and shot for City TV. Next we shot a feature film called Death Do Us Part, which we co-wrote, starred in and produced. What an Idiot was our best experience so far and the project that we are the most proud of! We had such an incredible crew

that worked so hard and an unbelievably talented cast.

The biggest challenge was producing on a very low budget but a lot of people came together to help us make this film a reality.

We could not have done it without the support of our families, friends and community! We look forward to making another movie or hopefully getting a series off the ground!

North Shore News: I see you have a theatre education. Have you performed in any theatre shows recently?

Julia Benson: I have a degree in theatre and psychology from UBC. After I graduated, I spent the summer training in New York at the Atlantic Theatre Company. I used to try to get on stage once a year but when we started producing I found it hard to find the time to do a play. I would love to get back on stage but I think I will have to wait until my kids are a bit older.

North Shore News: What’s your next project?

Julia Benson: Peter and I have a half-hour comedy series that we are pitching and we have a few scripts

that we are working on. I am currently shooting a recurring role on Hallmark’s Cedar Cove and I have just finished shooting an indie film called Marrying the Family. Peter directed the movie and our friend Taylor Hill wrote it and produced it with her mom Barbara Hill.

North Shore News: What’s your ultimate career goal?

Julia Benson: I want to work with good people on projects that I’m passionate about. I love acting and I love making movies.The goal is to get our production company to a place where we are able to put the budget together to make the movies we want to make while continuing to work with our friends.That’s our dream.

North Shore News: What do you like to do in your downtime in North Vancouver?

Julia Benson: I have a 20-month-old son and another baby on the way so down time isn’t really in my vocabulary. As a family, we love going to the park with friends and having dinner parties that typically end at about 8 p.m.

“There’s just certain things that you can’t escape with Godspell and you don’t want to escape,” Hosie says.

The Arts Club revival takes place in a train station, a bustling hub for people from a diversity of backgrounds. Enter Jesus, who recruits a group of followers and teaches them life lessons through lively song and dance numbers.

A large projection screen behind the performance area will help to bring these parables to life.

“The projection element allows us to escape the train station and go to other places,” Hosie explains. “It’s a very modern approach.”

All of the 12 multitalented cast members play instruments on stage and music director Danny Balkwill (also in the cast) has freshened up the Tony Award–nominated score, which still features fan-favourite hits such as “Day by Day,” “LearnYour Lessons Well,” and “Turn Back, O Man.” “People who have heard Godspell in the past and love it, I think, will love it tenfold after hearing the dynamic that (Balkwill) has created from the music.”

Though based on Biblical source material and featuring re-settings of traditional hymns, Hosie says Godspell was never meant to be about religion.

“The show is about a community where people have lost their way, they’ve stopped listening to one another,” she explains.

Those themes are more than relevant today in an age when technology has resulted in people being simultaneously connected and anti-social.

“There’s a solitude in that,” Hosie says, “and this (musical) is about people coming together, all walks of life coming together, seeing each other, accepting each other and then celebrating what life can be. It really is a celebration of love and community.”

Kelowna area supplies romantic setting Okanagan region trending as perfect spot to trade nuptials MICHELLE HOPKINS ContributingWriter

When TJ and Amy met over drinks with mutual friends in 2010, it was love at first sight. Because TJ (McCluskie) had many happy memories of holidaying in Penticton, it was only natural that he proposed to Amy in the Okanagan.

“We got engaged in the Naramata Bench in the spring of 2013 so the Okanagan holds a special place for us,” adds the Vancouver police officer.

“Literally, it was 30 minutes after Amy said yes that we started looking at venues in the area for our wedding.”

After a few trips back and forth from their home in the Lower Mainland, both decided that the perfect backdrop for their “I dos‚“ was at the Sanctuary Gardens in Kelowna.

“We both wanted an outdoor ceremony and we love being near the water, but we wanted a private venue,” says Amy. “My wedding planner had seen the Sanctuary Gardens and sent me photos. “TJ and I both loved the gardens — it was breathtaking and overlooked these amazing lake views.”

The ceremony took place on a brilliantly sunny September afternoon inside the open-air chapelinspired gazebo.

“It truly was my dream wedding and it exceeded my expectations,” says the beaming bride.

Then, it was off to the Hotel Eldorado, which played host to their evening reception. With the lights glittering off the water, the Lakeside Sunroom and Terrace were transformed into an oasis of Victorian beauty.

From page 35 “My mom and I came here to check it out and felt like we were in the Hamptons,” says Amy. “No matter how many emails or phone calls, the staff at the Eldorado was amazing with us.”

In the end, Kelowna gave the happy couple the lake, the sun and time with loved ones from across the province and beyond to celebrate their special day.

It doesn’t come as a surprise that the Okanagan Valley keeps garnering rave reviews on Wine Enthusiast magazine’s top 10 list of travel destinations. With 131 wineries, and counting, as well as more than 8,000 acres of vineyard and a fabulous selection of wines to choose from, the magazine went on to proclaim the Okanagan as a “shining jewel.”

2015 Range Rover Sport

Go anywhere in style The appeal of Land Rover’s products is in the automaker’s tradition of offering the ability to “go anywhere” in luxury.

The Range Rover Sport continues that trend while providing even more on-road refinement.

While many of its rivals look and feel largely the same, the Range Rover Sport carries an air of exclusivity and makes you feel special in or out of the vehicle. Its main competition comes for the Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne.

2015 sees the debut of

most dynamically focused Land Rover ever produced.

Chronicling the Corvette Art of the Corvette

by Randy Leffingwell, Motorbooks (224 pages, $55)

Uniquely American, the Corvette has stood the test of time to become an iconic sports car.

From its first appearance in 1953 it has continued to evolve, all the while maintaining a style and commitment to performance that has kept an enthusiastic fan base coming back for more.

Twenty-four models selected from the seven

hints at its potential.

The interior boasts premium materials and a tasteful design. It is simple and elegant and designers did a good job of blending modern technology with old-world class.

The Range Rover Sport comes as well equipped as any car costing more than $75,000. It can also be further tailored to perfectly suit your individual tastes.

It looks as luxurious and

generations of Corvettes appear in this collection.

Each one is beautifully photographed, showing off the styling changes that were important to that model. A brief history accompanies the photos and offers a look behind the advancements and modifications it came with.

An advertisement from the time period is included for each one and offers a look at how the marketing of the Corvette has changed with the times.

as expensive as the Range Rover on the outside but it’s actually quite a bit cheaper.

Performance As most would expect, the Range Rover Sport has a commanding view over the road and other motorists.

Despite its bulk, rear and side visibility are good thanks to the large windows.

Unlike the standard Range Rover, driving the Sport feels more sedan-like.

While being tall, the Range Rover Sport is very quiet, with very little wind or road noise entering the cabin.This makes it a truly

Rover comfortable both on-road and off

From page 44

relaxing cruiser.

Further aiding in that regard is the standard air suspension, which soaks up road imperfections.The setup is a little firmer than the big Range Rover but the Sport always remains very composed.

It also never loses that composure even when it’s offroading or facing tough weather.The standard four-wheel drive includes a low-range gearbox and locked differential; these are controlled by Land Rover’s Terrain Response 2 system that allows the driver to choose the optimal power distribution for the given situation. It even comes with an Auto mode, which determines the ideal setting to help novice drivers drive “properly” in any condition.

On paved roads the Sport corners with virtually no body roll.The V-8 equipped models come with a torquevectoring system that sends more power to the rear outside wheel when slippage is encountered. Ultimately though, it still can’t quite match the outright handling

ability of the Porsche Cayenne.

The Range Rover Sport is surprisingly agile around town. Despite its heft, steering is light and responsive. It’s this level of refinement that sets Land Rover apart from the rest.

The available engines are one V-6 and two V-8 models.

All are gasoline powered — the diesel-electric hybrid popular in Europe is not available in North America.

Most Range Rover Sport’s here will be powered by a new supercharged 3.0-litre V-6 engine. It has been lightened to improve performance and efficiency and produces 340 horsepower and 332 footpounds of torque.

The next step in performance is a supercharged 5.0-litre V-8.

This engine creates 510 h.p. and 461 foot-pounds of torque to haul the Range Rover Sport to 100 kilometres per hour in just 5.3 seconds.

But, if that’s still not enough, check out the new SVR model. Its supercharged 5.0-litre V-8 puts out 550 h.p. and will

allow it to rocket to 100 km/ h in less than five seconds.

Environment The cabin of a Land Rover is always luxurious and upscale, and the Sport’s interior is no exception.The standard panoramic roof creates an open and airy atmosphere.

The Range Rover Sport comes with an impressive amount of standard equipment. All models come with leather upholstery, satellite navigation, rearview camera, and Bluetooth smartphone connectivity to name a few.

Given its size, it’s not surprising storage is plenty too.The centre console is massive, as are the door bins and glove box.

Rearseat passengers will appreciate the added legroom. Also, due to the Range Rover Sport’s width, it provides plenty of comfortable space when carrying three in the back — and thanks to the flat floor and sculpted centre console, the middle passenger won’t have to fight for foot space.

If you need to carry more passengers, new this

However, it is barely big enough to accommodate a small child, entry and exit is awkward, and you lose the spare tire.

While the Sport doesn’t have the handy split tailgate of the larger Range Rover, the power liftgate and flat

cargo floor make loading and unloading items easy.

The 27.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row is about as good as you can get in a sporty SUV.With the 60/40 split rear seats folded, it opens up a maximum 62.2 cubic feet of cargo volume.

If there is a complaint about the Range Rover Sport’s interior, it would

be its infotainment system.

Unfortunately, it feels a bit old and awkward, and it has a low screen resolution and slow response times.

help myself. Further along the way, the itch stops needing scratched — why bother with something fake when you can experience the real?

Duffy Lake is like glass off to our left, the road ahead empty, the mountains covered in fresh snow. It’s one of the most beautiful days I’ve experienced.

And as for the car, holy sweet Mary mother of acceleration. I’ve been ambivalent about the current generation 911 since its inception, but somewhere along the way,

Porsche figured out how to improve things a little.

The coupes are still more about absolute pace than thrills, but when the roof comes off (either Targa or cabriolet), there’s the rushing air and turbine whirr of that flat six to raise your hackles. Hot stuff, firing up the canyons in a new, red 911 GTS Carrera4.

You don’t really need this kind of firepower though. It’s not been long since I came through here in a 1967 MGB with my Dad. There is, shall we say, somewhat less confidence See Cars page 47

Cars have a new way to make us feel free From page 46

in actually arriving at your destination when one is piloting cantankerous British iron rather than steely German precision, but the overall experience is the same. Car, road, camaraderie.

I rarely remember a flight, but I do remember any time I drive somewhere. For all of its modern conveniences and distractions, the car is still capable of providing some level of the same freedom it once represented 100 years ago. Stop when you want, go where you wish.

Look for the squiggliest bits on the maps, and just get out there.

It’s worth considering just how enormous British Columbia really is when it comes to this stuff.

We’re a third again as large as Texas, and while much of the province is inaccessible, there’s a spidery web of roads leading up to the North.

In a day, it’s easy enough to loop through Lillooet and back down through the Fraser Canyon. Start early, and stop for coffee at the Mount Currie Coffee Company in Pemberton.

Just past Pemberton, the switchbacks beckon, and then the long humpy road that leads out to Lillooet.

Got time to go even further afield? It gets better. If you head up the valley and run the tunnels of the Fraser Canyon early in the morning, you can then dive East along the Nicola Valley towards Merritt. My brother and I did so in a 5.0-litre

Mustang a few months back, from canyon to plains, all the way out to the Empire of Grass.

That’s a romantic name, is it not? You continue through Merritt and eschew the speed of the Coquihalla, choosing instead the winding loneliness of the 5A. At first, it’s clustered cabins around a lake; later, there’s simply rolling waves of grasslands, and lakes dotted with the odd fisherman.

Heading down to the United States is pretty costly these days, what with the state of the dollar, so the temptation is to just roam around in your own backyard. Still, gasoline is cheaper for our cousins to the South, and Washington has some amazing roads.

Stitching together a loop

through the Cascade mountains is a mustdo, and if you cross the border at Aldergrove, you sometimes cut out some of the worst summer traffic.

But back to the Duffy Lake Road, stopped at the boat launch to lake a couple of pictures. There’s no wind at present, so the lake is like a mirror, B.C. putting on a show for the camera.

You know what the normal thing to do is, right? Whip out your iPhone, fire up Instagram, share this moment with the world. Famous for five seconds, a flurry of instant electronic approval to boost dopamine levels in your brain, and then back to business.

But, “no service,” says my phone. Get out in the wilds of Cascadia, and

you’re forced to unplug from this addictive little screen, forced to take a look around at the solid reality of the landscape instead of trying to capture it.You’re forced to simply experience the moment, instead of trying to brag about it to your friends.

I shut my phone in the glovebox, and get out to walk around while John sets up a few photos. It’s quiet — no engines, no airplanes, no traffic. A fish jumps in the lake, questing for some ill-fated winged insect.

This is what I love about cars. It’s not the horsepower, the stomachtugging G-forces, not the sound, and not the fury.

It’s their ability to move us, to let us write a story.

My friend and I don’t have as much time as we

once did to reconnect.

Neither do my father and I, and the same goes for the bond between me and my brother.

However, out here on the road in B.C., there’s no room for the distractions of modern life.

There’s stuff to talk about, companionable silences to enjoy, and a new experience to be shared.

I slot the Porsche’s key in the right-hand ignition, crank up the flat-six to a snarly idle.

We’re not yet mid-way on our little escape, miles of looping road yet to go.

I’ve forgotten all about my phone — broken free from the self-imposed chains of technology.

The road beckons us onward. We go. mcaleeronwheels@gmail.com

Rugged luxury comes with a high price

From page 45

that brand luxury comes at a cost.

Standard equipment includes passive keyless entry, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, two-zone climate control, heated windshield with heated washer jets, rain-sensing wipers, heated power exterior mirrors, xenon headlights, front and rear camera, parking aids, intelligent start/stop system, and an eight-inch touchscreen.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include memory seats, sliding panoramic roof, adaptive headlights, automatic high beams, three-zone climate control, auto dimming interior mirror, surround camera system, and blind spot monitoring.

Fuel efficiency numbers (litres/100 kilometres) for V6 models are 14.0 city, 10.5 highway and 12.4 combined.

The standard V-8 returns 16.6 city, 12.3 highway and 14.7 combined, whereas the tuned V-8 sees 17.3 city, 12.2 highway and 15.0 combined.

Thumbs up The Range Rover Sport stands apart from the crowd. Its luxurious interior and comfortable suspension make it the most relaxing sport SUV to travel in.

Thumbs down Range Rover exclusivity comes at a price, and the expense continues throughout ownership as the Sport is not the most efficient model on the market. And, while this is an all-new model, Land Rover doesn’t boast a sterling reliability record in general.
