Parties promise transportation fixes VOTE 2015

Liberals pledge $20 billion to ‘catalyze’ local transit priorities BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Federal parties are targeting North Shore voters where it counts — their ever-lengthening commutes.

Liberal Justin Trudeau was in Vancouver Thursday to announce that his government would put up $20 billion over 10 years to guarantee sustainable funding for local transit priorities. His announcement nameddropped the Broadway subway, Surrey’s light rail network and more frequent SeaBus service – all major proposals lost in the failed TransLink plebiscite.

North Vancouver Liberal candidate Jonathan Wilkinson said his party is planning to provide federal leadership and money to “catalyze” those projects back into existence.

“This is in line with what the Canadian Federation of Municipalities has been calling for, which is a federal commitment to stable, predictable funding over a long period of time that will allow us to ongoing planning of long-term projects,” he said. “The plebiscite didn’t pass and what we’re doing is bringing new dollars to the table to ensure some of these

projects that are critical will actually get done.”

Municipalities would still have to come up with the standard one-third of the funding, under the Liberals’ plan,Wilkinson said.

Those federal dollars will include $50 million to replace and widen Highway 1’s Lynn Creek bridge as a means to deal with the “intolerable congestion” on the Cut,Wilkinson said.

Forecast for mild fall may bring less snow JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

North Shore ski resorts are bulking up on snowmaking equipment and putting their faith in the Old Farmer’s Almanac after most longrange weather predictions have forecast a warmer and possibly drier fall and winter season.

Balmy temperatures this weekend could be an indication of the trend in store for the coming months.

Meteorologists with both the Weather Network and Environment Canada say long-range forecasts are pointing to a warmerthan-normal fall for the Vancouver area that could last into the winter with a

strong El Nino pattern.

“All the international climate models are forecasting the same thing,” said Matt MacDonald, a meteorologist with Environment Canada.

“There’s a 90 per cent chance it will continue through spring 2016.”

El Nino weather patterns occur when ocean waters in the Pacific equatorial region

stay higher than normal for a prolonged period of time.

Meteorologists are expecting this year’s El Nino to rival the El Nino weather pattern of 1997/’98 — the strongest in 65 years — in intensity.

North Van 1984 pinball record disputed Charity event promoter relives excitement of 76-hour game marathon BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

There’s a new pinball wizard in the land, although the title is very much in dispute.

White Rock resident Eden Stamm played for 40 hours at the Lamplighter Public House, between Tuesday and Thursday morning, ostensibly beating the current Guinness record of 28 hours.

But a North Vancouver man says the real record is almost twice as long, and it was set in 1984.

Pat Riccardi, a charity event promoter and former owner of Right On Submarines and Amusements on the 200block of Lonsdale, said the record still belongs to Alex Hunter who played for more than 76 hours in April 1984.

Hunter’s marathon in the back of Right On Submarines attracted fellow competitors, news media and visitors from across the province.

“It was just an exciting time. Pressure was building and we were wondering, ‘How long can this guy play the game for? How long can he go? What’s he made of? Is he taking drugs?’ No, he was very pure.We watched him like a hawk,” Riccardi said.

Q.O\`'% -XO:<QQ P<)<%Z.O X' O.e XO 6X'-"%`= CLD(D PAUL MCGRATH Riccardi said he’s received a deluge of calls and emails from North Shore residents who remember Hunter’s marathon since Stamm’s attempt began.

“I don’t know how this guy can claim the record,” he said. “Alex played for 76 hours and 33 minutes.”

In 1982, Hunter played for more than 68 hours,

which was also highly documented.

Riccardi said he got in touch with Hunter, who now lives in Abbotsford, for the first time in 30 years to let him know. Hunter too was irked that his title might be usurped.The ordeal was an incredible feat, he said.

“I don’t remember half of it. At one point, I thought I was in the church

basement. I don’t know where that came from,” Hunter said. “Delirium set in.”

Immediately after the marathon, Hunter did a TV interview, which he scarcely remembers.

“I just remember going home and sleeping for about three days,” he said.

But, despite widespread media coverage in 1984,

Guinness says the record was 28 hours, not 76:33.

“All record holders must apply and provide evidence of breaking the record. It seems Alex Hunter did not apply for the record because unfortunately he’s not listed in our database,” said Tavia Levy, Guinness World Record marketing executive.

Both Riccardi and

NDP promise $1.3 billion in ‘predictable’ funding From page 1 The Harper government already committed $46 million to fund one-third of the cost of redesigning the three interchanges at the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing bridgehead but the Lynn Creek bridge isn’t due to be replaced until 2025.

North Vancouver Conservative MP Andrew Saxton said his government already addressed the transportation funding issue head-on in the last term and in the last federal budget and that he’s well aware of how bad traffic has gotten.

“That’s why I fought hard to get this $46 million in funding for these three interchanges, which will

help to alleviate the traffic flow over the highway to and from Seymour,” he said.

The Tories also put up gas tax money to fund the building of a new SeaBus, Saxton added.

And the Tories have set up the $80-billion Building Canada Fund over 10 years and the 2015 Transit Fund, which would fund up to $1 billion per year in transportation projects in major cities “It’s the longest and largest infrastructure investment made by any federal government in Canadian history,” Saxton said.

As for the Lynn Creek bridge plan, Saxton said it’s up to mayors and the province to decide which

projects they want funded and Wilkinson’s plan didn’t come up.

The NDP’s Burnaby North-Seymour candidate, Carol Baird Ellan, questioned how the Liberals are planning to pay for their transit plan.

“They’re letting Harper’s Conservative friends keep their billions in tax cuts. How are they going to do it? Are they going to raise the GST? That part’s pretty vague,” she said.

By contrast, the NDP is promising $1.3 billion per year of “predictable funding for municipalities to make their own decisions and plan ahead,” she said.

“It’s a municipality’s planning function to decide what they’re going to do

about transit issues but they need the funds to do it.

That’s something that Tom Mulcair’s NDP government will do.”

The Green Party’s North Vancouver candidate Claire Martin said her party has already released its costed plan for how to fund needed infrastructure and that the Greens are offering a lot more than any other party.

In their platform released on Wednesday, the Greens pledged to set aside one per cent of the GST collected every year to go into an infrastructure bank, which can then be drawn on for projects of all types.

“The money that will set aside for transport… will become $6.4 billion per year,” Martin said. “When

I look at a comparison with the Liberals, is about three times the amount the Liberals are putting in and it kicks in immediately as opposed to a plan that goes over a decade.”

District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton said he’s pleased to see transportation issues on the agenda for all four parties, especially given that all have a focus on transit.

“Cities around the world that are coping well with significant growth have invested in significantly in transportation infrastructure,” he said.

“Apart from Beijing, nobody’s trying to build roads and build their way out of future congestion.

It’s simply not possible to do that.”

Hunter expressed shock that the 1982 and 1984 records were never considered official.

“I did it right to the letter,” said Riccardi, who handled all the promotion and correspondence with Guinness. “They stipulated that it was no problem — that we had the record and that was it.”

Damon Holowchak, director of marketing for the Donnelly Group, which owns the Lamplighter, said he was contacted by other marathon pinball players claiming longer records during the attempt, but he was meticulous about following the official guidelines required for a Guinness record.

“We had five cameras.

There were a dozen witnesses available, three timers and clocks going. All of this evidence needs to be filed and handed in. It’s simple,” he said. “(Riccardi) can talk to Guinness. His dispute is definitely with them if he’s got it.”

Hunter, now 60 and not playing the silver ball anymore, said as far as he’s concerned, the original record stands, even if it’s not official.

“To be honest with you, it didn’t bother me in the least bit until everybody started coming to me and saying, ‘What are you going to do?’ Honestly, if the guy can do it, do it. I’m not impressed.”

And, Hunter noted, his pinball marathon was a charity event, which resulted in thousands of dollars being donated to B.C. Children’s Hospital and Variety Club of B.C.

‘The Blob’ contributes to warmer outlook From page 1

climate factor that stacks the cards in favour of a warmer-than-normal winter and a drier-than- normal winter,” said MacDonald.

Other factors contributing to the warmer outlook include a large mass of warm water dubbed “The Blob” by meteorologists that has been sitting off the west coast of B.C. and Alaska, helping to deflect storms and keep high-pressure ridges of hot sunny weather in place throughout the summer.

Generally warmer-than-

usual ocean temperatures throughout the Pacific and a jet stream that’s kept warm air over the coast also indicate above-average seasonal temperatures and below-normal precipitation for fall, said Erin Wenckstern, meteorologist with the Weather Network.

For local North Shore ski hills, the forecast that points to a repeat of last year’s season isn’t encouraging.

“It’s fair to say it’ll be a challenging winter for snowfall on the North Shore, particularly in lower elevations,” said MacDonald.

But local ski hills are gearing up for a fight with Mother Nature.

Both Grouse Mountain and Cypress Mountain resorts have spent about half a million dollars each in the past year on an arsenal of snow guns to supplement natural snowfall.

Although the snowmaking equipment still needs minimum temperatures to work, at Grouse it can increase total snow volume by more than 40 per cent, said Julia Grant, spokeswoman for the resort.

Grouse has also been busy with summer

grooming of its ski runs, which means many of them will be able to open with less snow than would normally be needed, said Grant.

In recent years, Grouse has sought to buffer itself from seasons of low snowfall by diversifying its attractions across all four seasons.These days, the resort has more visitors in summer than in does in winter, said Grant.

Both Grant and Joffrey Koeman, spokesman for Cypress Mountain, are quick to point out that even in the 1997/’98 El Nino winter, both resorts still

Sprinkling restrictions eased JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

North Shore gardeners have been told they can turn on the tap again — a little bit.

Metro Vancouver’s water managers announced this week the region is returning to Stage 2 watering restrictions, which allow sprinkling once a week.

The change was made in response to recent rain storms that topped up the reservoirs and falling water consumption.

For the past week, reservoirs have remained at 60 per cent full, which is

normal for this time of year.

A sprinkling ban had previously been in place across the Lower Mainland since July 20. Under a return to Stage 2, both North Vancouver and West Vancouver residents will be allowed to sprinkle once a week, in the morning only.

Even-numbered homes may water their lawn between 4-9 a.m. on Monday, and oddnumbered addresses may water between 4-9 a.m. on Thursday.

For non-residential properties, sprinkling is allowed for even-numbered addresses between 1 a.m.

and 6 a.m. on Wednesday, and odd-numbered addresses may water lawns between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Tuesday.

Municipal parks must also follow the once-weekly lawn sprinkling times.

Recent rain also topped up West Vancouver’s Eagle Lake water supply to near-

normal levels.

Regional water managers will continue to monitor water levels and may relax sprinkling restrictions further later in the month.

The regional government plans to examine its response to the water shortage this fall and discuss possible policy changes.

weather predictions; one that’s based on folklore and a secret formula — is calling for a colder-thanusual winter.

Meteorologists say don’t bet on that, although “seasonal forecasts always need to be taken with a grain of salt,” MacDonald acknowledged. “Getting the Day 2 and 3 forecasts right is hard enough.”

had a reasonable snowfall, despite the numbers being below average.

“We ended up having a 130-day season (that year),” said Koeman.

When all else fails, there’s also the Old Farmer’s Almanac. Both Grant and Koeman point out that the Almanac — which uses a less scientific approach to

ow that you’ve put away your white clothes and your last summer cocktail buzz has faded, it’s time to get serious.There’s an election happening.

The extra-long campaign allowed a sort of grace period in August. Citizens felt free to ignore the inevitable while the parties eased into things with fluffy announcements and photo-ops.

But now it’s back to school for everyone and we’re seeing policy promises and platforms.

The Greens rolled out their entire platform this week. Like it or hate it, it contains bona fide new ideas and not much that’s recycled from other parties’ old campaigns.

Most parties are also now ready to talk about what they’ve got in mind.

Of course, a longer campaign has also left more time for the unpredictable to happen.

Two months ago, the Syrian refugee crisis wasn’t on many people’s radar politically but one photo of a boy on a beach has changed that. Real human misery even proved powerful enough to throw the normally unflappable Conservative messaging machine off its rails.

Most polls are showing a neck-and-neck race, which is exciting to see.While it’s fun to believe polls are crystal balls that can divine events yet to unfold, we encourage taking those with a grain of salt. Elections are won riding by riding. Some of the most accurate local polls are often done by the parties themselves. But those ones are usually kept under wraps.

All-candidates meetings are now being scheduled.We encourage everyone to go — especially the candidates.

It’s time to get informed because Oct. 19 is coming quicker than you think.

Sailing club lease deserves a closer look

Long experience persuades me that the difference between rumours and official statements is that the former are usually more accurate than the latter.

Case in point:The thick fog around nautically jaunty Hollyburn Sailing Club.

It’s due south of West Vancouver’s supposed gateway to a grand civic future, the Grosvenor development. And were the club’s quarters, um, quite up to snuff, you know, for purchasers of Grosvenor condos? — prices estimated

by Coun. Craig Cameron ranging from $2 million to $5 million, and that was in 2013, ancient times in local real estate history. (To be fair, Grosvenor claims not to oppose the club’s locale.)

So as the five-year lease expiry date of Dec. 31 approached, negotiations between town hall and the

sailors became a matter of speculation.

Mayor Michael Smith declared in January that town hall and the club had signed a new five-year lease. End of story? Not. Ray Richards, Christine Ballantine, Scenerey Slater and others had doubts.

Christine Ballantine raised a petition signed by more than 800 to preserve the club and clarify the lease

terms. Quite unnecessary, she was assured by a town hall staffer as recently as 10 days ago: “I have no idea where people get their information from and wish they would take time to check with the district before creating fear and angst in the community; the Hollyburn Sailing Club is a vital piece of Ambleside and I can assure you it is not being closed.”

The only way to dispel (or confirm) the uneasy rumours was by reading the lease.Thanks to Mayor Smith’s aide, Sabia Curran, I have.

Which turned up some highly pertinent words. A section of the previous lease is deleted and replaced by Section 2 (ii): “The District, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to terminate this lease at any time during the term upon a minimum of 12 months

written notice, which notice may be given at any time (and shall not be restricted to an anniversary of the commencement date).”

Couldn’t be plainer.

The lease hugely favours the landlord — who could say, with a straight face, “We have negotiated a five-year lease” (true), without adding “which we can terminate unilaterally” (unspoken truth).Which revealed more, the rumour or the official line?

25,000-square-footer on Mathers.

Town hall director of communications Jeff McDonald dispelled any speculation: “Bob is from the U.S. After eight years in Canada, his wife wished to return there and received an offer of a dream job, so they made the decision to make the move back home.”

At this writing his successor hasn’t been identified.

Don’t accept sailing club rumours as fact Dear editor: Greener’s Law advises “Never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel.”

It seems particularly true when speaking of curmudgeonly columnists who seemingly delight in ripping people to shreds in public. So, I decided to stay silent when I first read Trevor Lautens’ most recent screed on the proposed Centre for Art, Architecture and Design (Aug. 14). It is abundantly clear that he has opposed the project from day one and there isn’t a hope of balance in his writing on the subject.

Mr. Lautens certainly has a way with words and a fertile imagination. He is a columnist and is entitled to disseminate his opinions far and wide. I am sure that he brings readers to the News. However, to paraphrase former U.S. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, while everyone

is entitled to their own opinions, they are not entitled to their own facts.

About 10 days after his CAAD column was published, I was contacted by a member of the Hollyburn Sailing Club.

Apparently, the column had fuelled a rumour that the District of West Vancouver was going to evict the Club from the waterfront. A number of people were very concerned and a petition has been circulated to oppose this eviction. This is the point where it became necessary to respond.

Mr. Lautens’ columns are not based on facts.

They contain liberal doses of conjecture, rumour and fantasy. While not strictly making false factual claims, he excels in creating false impressions. The CAAD column was no exception, and is riddled with misleading statements.

For example, there is no intention or plan to have

the club “depart” from the waterfront. The club’s fate isn’t in jeopardy and hasn’t “been decided.”

In contrast, the district values the club as a community institution.

Unfortunately, once a rumour has been disseminated in print, it is very difficult to squelch no matter how baseless.

Columns like Mr. Lautens’ are destructive not only because they sow fear and anger where none is warranted but also because they undermine the community’s faith in its local government.

Contrary to his assertion about government wanting to keep the public “in the dark,” the district has and will continue to consult widely and frequently on most everything, including plans for the waterfront.

The district doesn’t do Grosvenor’s bidding, nor the bidding of any corporate interest. Our task

is to serve the public.

While I have certainly disagreed with Mayor Smith on particular council decisions, I have never once doubted his commitment the community and the public good.

Reasonable people may differ on whether the CAAD project is worthwhile. However, any reasoned debate has to be based on facts.

The present design of the CAAD will not interfere with views, nor will it shadow the John Lawson playground (there being no sunshine from the north to block).

It is hard to imagine

how safety will be compromised. There is no evidence that children dislike underground parking; in fact, my children prefer the heavily used underground parking at the community centre.

If anything, CAAD will increase business for nearby coffee shops and restaurants.

While it may be easier to make a powerful rhetorical point if one ignores the facts, it is not a sound basis for a community debate.

No matter what I say, Mr. Lautens is going to continue to write meanspirited, inflammatory and irresponsible columns like

Former Green says defeating Conservatives is the priority

This week’s column features a guest contribution.

Jim Stephenson is a longtime Green Party activist who ran for the Party in North Vancouver in two federal elections. The holder of a joint PhD in business and economics from Stanford University, he also ran for the Green Party provincially.

My thanks to Jim for his words of support in this open letter: “Our first and highest priority as electors must be to remove the continued threat to our environment that Stephen Harper and his government represents.

Those of us who truly want to see Mr. Harper defeated in the upcoming election need to vote for the party and the candidate with the best chance to defeat the Conservatives.

In North Vancouver that is Jonathan Wilkinson and the Liberal Party of Canada.

that of Aug.14. They will continue to get published.

The most I can ask, I can hope for, is that the public take his writing with a grain of salt – if not the entire Wieliczka Salt Mine.

Read Mr. Lautens as you would read a weekly horoscope, for entertainment not information. And please don’t base your opinions on his words. Inform yourself. Visit our website.

Email district staff. Talk to your elected officials.

You may find the truth is less strange (and more comforting) than fiction.

Craig Cameron Councillor, District of West Vancouver

It is highly unlikely the Green Party candidate will be elected. The Green Party polled 5% of the vote in 2011 and its average vote percentage over the past four federal elections in North Van was just 7%. This contrasts with an average of 14% for the NDP, 37% for the Liberal Party of Canada and 41% for the Conservatives.

Jonathan is a strong candidate who brings to the table a wealth of CEO-level business experience from the “clean technology” space.

This experience is directly relevant to addressing both the challenges associated with balancing Canada’s future

Former Green candidate Jim Stephenson (left)

economic progress with environmental sustainability and with the critical global issue of climate change.

Jonathan has a clear understanding of and cares deeply about climate change.

The Liberal Party is committed to reforming the election system so that voters can vote with their heart - free of strategic concerns. However, in this election the only effective vote against the Harper government in North Vancouver is Jonathan Wilkinson.

Sending Jonathan to Ottawa as your Member of Parliament will be a significant step in advancing the goals and ideals that I have been working on for many years.

And it is our best insurance in North Vancouver that Mr. Harper does not return as Canada’s Prime Minister after October 19th.

INQUIRING REPORTER Queen Elizabeth II has officially surpassed her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria as the longest reigning British monarch: 63 years. The Queen is still Canada’s head of state, but whether or not the British monarchy is still relevant in this country is up for debate.

A May 2015 Forum Research poll found 39 per cent of respondents were in favour of abolishing the monarchy when Queen Elizabeth dies, and 73 per cent said our head of state should be Canadian-born and live here.

Is the British monarchy still relevant in Canada? Weigh in at .-.")-%$40. ' *(/!( #2!,(1"&+"!-3

Roy Allen North Vancouver “Yes because I’m British and I think it serves a role.

She’s an incredibly energetic person for a woman her age.”

Liz Atchley North Vancouver “Well, I’m a Brit. I will always be for the Queen.

I think she’s an amazing woman.”

Do you think the monarchy is still relevant in Canada?

Ian Tooke Edmonton “It should be because that’s (Britain) where we generated from first.”

Gillian Hulme Sechelt “Oh, I do follow (the monarchy) very closely because I’m British. I think it’s wonderful. I hope she (Queen Elizabeth) continues.”

Bryan May North Vancouver “Yes, just because it’s an institution that binds the Commonwealth together.”

West Van candidate quietly impressive

From page 6

on Sept. 23: 1 p.m. at Kay Meek Centre for high school students and at 7 p.m., centring on marine issues, at West Vancouver Yacht Club for members.)

Melamed was born in Philadelphia of parents “from the pogroms of Europe” and grew up, fluently bilingual, in Montreal. His father began as an antique dealer.

Both father and mother — who returned to school after her education was interrupted to bring up a family (she got a PhD from famed uber-liberal Antioch College) — became college teachers, one of Canada’s spectacular and too little recognized immigrant success stories.

Ken Melamed went as

far as Quebec’s CEGEP, roughly equivalent to firstyear university. He liked — still likes — building, working with his hands.

He served five terms on Whistler council, two as mayor.

He left the New Democrats on an issue of principle and joined the Greens. On the riding’s most contentious issue, the Squamish LNG plant, he says: “I go with the residents.”

Putting politics aside, he’s one of those extraordinary ordinary people, quietly impressive, short of stature, modest of manner, thankfully lacking the hearty, beaming salesmanship and predatory mien of too many politicians.Worth a look. tlautens@gmail.com

James & Jamesy clown around from the get-go

For Canadian Fringe festival darlings James & Jamesy, the theatres they perform in are as much a stage as they are a playground.

During performances, the artists are dedicated to fostering a spirit of play and endeavour to cultivate an environment where audiences members

are given a variety of opportunities to join in on the fun.

“In clown training we call it the ‘fantastic space,’ where we are all in an experience.The clowns on stage, or us as physical theatre performers, we are facilitating that. And throughout our show we are feeding the audience invitations to participate,” says Alastair Knowles, who plays one-half of the British comedy duo, Jamesy, and serves as the group’s coartistic director. His onstage counterpart James is played

by Aaron Malkin, fellow coartistic director. It’s common for the performers to do public appearances as well as media interviews as their British characters, a means of inviting that sense of play

off the stage. Supporting the performers from behind the scenes is their partner, David MacMurray Smith, who serves as James & Jamesy’s director and co-creator.

“Our work has often been commended for our ability to foster an environment of child-like wonder and joy of embodying different emotions, different characters.That ranges with our audiences from single people being characters in our show, complete with costumes and character traits that they are endowed and discover, as well as the entire audience gets to play. So there really isn’t a feeling of, ‘Oh one person got singled out,’ it’s we are all celebrating that feeling together,” says Knowles.

It doesn’t take audience

members long to realize they’re in for a unique experience when attending a James & Jamesy show. For example, those attending their upcoming run of High Tea at North Vancouver’s Presentation House Theatre, Sept. 24-Oct. 4, will be tipped off before even entering the theatre, served cups of tea in fine china upon arrival.

“As they come to the show, that feeling of inclusion starts right off the get-go,” says Knowles.

James & Jamesy’s inclusive approach has earned the company countless accolades since 2012 as they’ve continued to tour their three works across Canada, so far to 13 cities and an estimated 25,000 people.

“There’s something about James & Jamesy and how we play where there’s a feeling that anything is possible. A review in Toronto described our show as, ‘An ode to the idea that anything is possible.’That sentiment I love.While our shows are scripted and structured, there’s such a free-wheeling sense of imagination and permission that it embodies, which I think really carries the energy that we hope to convey,” says Knowles.

James & Jamesy’s upcoming run of High Tea, seeing the duo use their imagination to find innovative and comical ways to stay afloat when a catastrophic disaster floods the world in tea,

Court: The system fails the people JULIE CRAWFORD ContributingWriter

There’s much talk in the lead-up to two elections on this continent of the “haves” and “have-nots” and how status parlays into greater justice. Look no further than Chaitanya Tamhane’s Court for a reminder of how social inequality and misplaced power plays out elsewhere,

in this case in India’s lower court system.

Teacher and “people’s poet” Narayan Kamble (Vira Sathidar) is a folk singer and activist. “Time to know your enemy” he tells a crowd, criticizing the evils of money and gluttony amidst the iron jungle that chokes modern Mumbai.

Two days after his performance he is brought into custody on a charge of abetment of suicide. A manhole worker from the Sitladevi slums committed suicide two days after Narayan’s performance.

The link is shoddy, at best; the charge likely fabricated.

It’s not the first time the

old man has been charged with a crime.

Vinay Vora (Vivek Gomber, who also produced) is Narayan’s lawyer, specializing in human rights abuses.

He becomes the main character in the story after Narayan is locked up, without bail or a guilty verdict, and apparently forgotten about.

Vinay wades through a maddeningly stagnant legal system that has no sense of urgency. The judge (Pradeep Joshi) condenses testimony and tells the court stenographer exactly what to record. He postpones the case several

times when witnesses don’t show up or are dressed inappropriately.

His boredom echoes how casually life and death situations are handled.

Court proceedings about a stolen watch show how a veneer of politeness belies the sloppy proceedings underneath.

The prosecuting attorney (Geetanjali Kulkarni) recites long tracts of obsolete legal precedent that date back to colonial times. Caste prejudice, similar to the Iranian class prejudice at the heart of A Separation, makes a guiltyor-innocent verdict a roll of the dice.

Giving relief to the oppressive atmosphere of the courtroom are vignettes of the lawyers and judge in their daily lives. Vinay can afford to be the people’s champion: he comes from a wealthy background and spends his evenings in high-end bars. The public prosecutor is middle class, serving dinner to her family and doing chores before looking over her legal work.

And the judge is revealed to be just as old-world and superstitious as the peasant people against whom he discriminates.

But there’s no

Lighthouse stood as a Finnish fortress

PETER NEVILLE-HADLEY MeridianWriters’ Group

BENGTSKAR, Finland — Despite the circular, lantern-topped tower that soars 48 metres above the tiny island the lighthouse at Bengtskär (pronounced “Bengt-shar”), with its solid stone main building, seems more fortress than beacon.

It’s entirely out of proportion with the merely 0.6-hectare rock on which it sits, and in winter seas often

rush over the entire island and beat at the tower’s base.

Bengtskär is one of the most southerly of the tens of thousands of Finnish islands scattered in the Baltic Sea, and lies out near the sea lanes between Sweden, Russia and Estonia.Today automated lights beat out sets of three flashes, but the original giant revolving lens made of vast rings of glass called fresnels can still be seen after climbing a spiral of 252 steps and two step ladders.

The island is reached via a boat from Rosala that in summertime weaves daily between tiny islands and rocks sprinkled in shining seas and that were already known to be hazardous before the opening of Finland’s first winter port increased shipping.

When the steamship Helsingfors struck nearby rocks on NewYear’s Eve 1905, and the rescue ship Protector soon joined it aground, the authorities finally took action.The Bengtskär lighthouse was constructed from the island’s own granite in 1906 and lined with half a million bricks. Five families moved in—those of the Lighthouse Master, the Foghorn Keeper and three other keepers.

Their accommodation, passed on four floors on the way up to the light, is now a café, two small museums and a guesthouse with six quaint rooms. Once the boat departs at 4 p.m., all is as quiet as in the lighthouse keepers’ day.

Or quieter.The foghorn, whose mouth is now marked by a large circular window, stretched seven metres across the top floor.

It could be heard almost 40 kilometres away, shook the whole building once a minute and was sometimes in use for days.

“Light” and “delightful” are not the words most 16th century theatre reviewers would have used to describeWilliam Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus. On the contrary, “violent” and “gruesome” would have been more suitable adjectives.

But there’s a new show in

town that offers a whimsical take on what is widely considered to be the Bard’s bloodiest work. Presented by Awkward Stage Productions, Titus:The Light and Delightful Musical Comedy ofTitus Andronicus makes its world premiere at theVancouver Fringe Festival.This happy and humorous version re-imagines Shakespeare’s fictional Roman Empireera tragedy as a crowdpleasing comedy complete with singing, dancing and slapstick humour.

The first time Jenika Schofield read the script for Titus, she laughed until she was in tears, so the Grade 12 Carson Graham secondary student was thrilled to land the part of the docile Lavinia, only daughter to Roman generalTitus Andronicus.

She’s “a feminist’s worst nightmare,” Schofield says of her character. “She basically does whatever anyone tells her to do.”

This new musical parody largely follows Shakespeare’s original plot.Titus has returned from a decadelong war that killed 21 of his 25 sons. He has captured

Tamora, Queen of the Goths, her three sons, and her secret lover Aaron the Moor. In obedience to Roman rituals, Titus sacrificesTamora’s eldest son to avenge the deaths of his own sons.What follows is a convoluted cycle of revenge that involves murder, mutilation and madness, but the tale is told through tap dance, rhythmic gymnastics and rock music.

As in the original play, the Lavinia character is violently raped byTamora’s sons and although the word “rape” has been replaced with the gentler term “bunny love,” Schofield says the incident is not taken lightly.

“That part, we do not joke about.That part is very serious in the play and we make sure that we state that it is a serious thing that happened and that has happened to many, many people.”

Other North Shore actors joining the youthful cast of Titus include Grade 12 Handsworth secondary student Drew Ogle (Demetrius), who is on the See Titus page 38

THEATRE

Duo opening PHT season From page 13

at Presentation House Theatre, is kicking off the performance venue’s 2015/2016 season.

Additional upcoming season highlights include: I WISH. . . , an international collaboration exploring themes of poverty and immigration Oct. 14-25; Snapshots Oct. 28-Nov. 8; Listen to Me Nov. 12-27; and Mrs. Claus’s Kitchen Dec. 1-20.

This is the first time High Tea has been performed on the North Shore. James & Jamesy previously presented their inaugural work, 2 For Tea, in March 2014 at Presentation House Theatre and were invited to mount its follow by artistic director Kim Selody, after seeing High Tea at the Vancouver Fringe Festival last year.

James & Jamesy are also the featured performers at A Night at the Museum FUNdraiser, presented by the Friends of the North Vancouver Museum &

Archives Society,Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 6 p.m. at Presentation House Theatre.

The evening will include a performance of High Tea along with a pre-show reception and live auction.

Proceeds will support the North Vancouver Museum & Archives.Tickets are $60.

The Vancouver-based performers (Knowles grew up in Winnipeg, Man., and Malkin,Toronto, Ont.), met in 2011 through their involvement in a Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret production. After positive experiences working together, they went on to form a performance group called the Superhero Boy Band. Something else they shared was similar clown training, both having studied with the same instructor, MacMurray Smith, their third partner in James & Jamesy.

Their onstage alter egos emerged one day when Knowles and Malkin were playing around in the studio with friends, trying

British accents and tea immediately followed.

“We knew we had found something fun.

As soon as we put it on stage the relationship that these two characters have, these two friends who love each other dearly yet find misunderstandings throughout the way they

communicate and also the different ways in which they see the world, brought this really charming sentiment to the audience — both hilarious and touching,” says Knowles.

The duo was further encouraged by MacMurray Smith who said, “‘You struck gold.You can run with this if you want to,’” See James page 30

THEATRE

James & Jamesy also playing Fringe festival From page 27 recalls Knowles.

They heeded his advice and started putting together a full-scale show, 2 For Tea. “At the beginning it was very exciting to have characters and a skit that resonated so much with an audience. It was new for both of us and very exciting and so with that enthusiasm we looked for more opportunities to do more of that.We basically, one step at a time, turned an eight-minute skit into a 60minute show and organized a cross-Canada tour with it,” says Malkin.

The performers’ unique backgrounds have been critical to the group’s success. “Our skill sets off the stage have formed a really wonderful package for small-scale independent theatre,” says Knowles. He has a business degree as well as a visual arts background to draw upon, and Malkin initially worked in visual effects for film, and is experienced in web design, and is good technically with sound design and lighting.

“I’m hitting the, ‘OK, what direction do we want to take our work and what is the aesthetic that we create it in,’ and Aaron is, ‘How do we make the technical elements of our show really rich and vibrant,’” says Knowles.

“Something that I love

Terminal Vancouver

about performing with Aaron is his stability on stage. It’s so reassuring to have someone whose presence I can count on and is so in touch with the audience. His stature also gives me a lot to lean on — very literally in some cases,” he jokes, explaining their differences in stature afford many opportunities for physical comedy.

The success of 2 For Tea led to second show High Tea and now a third, In the Dark, which the 13-time “bestof-fest” Canadian Fringe festival award winners are currently performing at the Vancouver Fringe Festival, on now through Sept. 20 at the Firehall Arts Centre (vancouverfringe.com).

So far, they’ve performed In the Dark in London, Ont., Montreal, Que., and Winnipeg, though they’ve spent the last two weeks reworking the piece with their director.

“We toured a first version of the show and now it’s developed so we’re really excited to put it back on stage and continue its development. It’s a new direction for James & Jamesy somewhat in that it’s not the same two characters that everyone knows. It’s James & Jamesy before they’re human,” says Malkin.

The show, as suggested by the title, takes place in the dark. “We have large spotlights affixed to our

heads with which we light the show. So we are the lighting designers and the performers constantly, which has been a very fun road of discovery,” he says.

In addition to maintaining a busy performance schedule (James & Jamesy currently do approximately 120 shows a year), they offer workshops for children and adults alike.

Through physical theatre, clown and improv methods they work to help their charges overcome obstacles to self-expression.

“We love sharing the work that we have studied and that we do on stage. It’s particularly exciting when we get to share the work with students and then have them see our show so they can see the correlation,” says Malkin.

“The James & Jamesy shows give audiences the opportunity to step into new versions of themselves. . . . One thing that really sticks with me is when audience members tell us how they’ve been inspired and that they’ve found new openings in their own lives for themselves.That’s really inspiring feedback and it connects me with why I originally went into theatre and so now it’s a really satisfying way that I spend my time. I was reluctant to call it a job because I never thought I’d have a job that I loved so much,” he adds.

Thrifty finds take the runway Hospital auxiliary hosts fashion show fundraiser

n Auxiliary to Lions Gate Hospital Fashion Show,Tuesday, Sept. 15, 12:30-1:30 p.m. at North Vancouver City Library (third floor), 120 W. 14th St. Just a few tickets remain: $10, available at the LGH Thrift Shop, 128 W. 15th St. CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

FASHION FILE Our weekly roundup of fashion and beauty events and activities. page 35

Volunteers with the Auxiliary to Lions Gate Hospital will be strutting the runway in their chicest attire next week to raise money for a good cause.

The auxiliary is hosting its first-ever fashion show fundraiser on Tuesday, Sept. 15 at North Vancouver City Library and members-turned-models have put together their own ensembles featuring clothing and accessories purchased at the LGH Thrift Shop on 15th Street and the Dogwood Shop inside the hospital, both of which are run by the auxiliary and raise money for the hospital.

“What we’re trying to do is showcase the quality of merchandise that we have and the type of prices that we have,” says Aren Evers, co-president of the auxiliary and chair of the thrift shop.

Evers, who plans to wear a grey tunic and jewelry from the Dogwood Shop, is serving as emcee and will introduce the models and describe each look.

About 15 volunteers will

walk the runway and their ensembles will range “from casual sporty to evening dresses and mother-ofthe-bride kind of stuff” she says. “We’ve got a real gamut of clothing and shoes and jewelry.”

The hospital auxiliary often holds fashion shows at its AGMs, Evers says, but Tuesday’s event marks their first public style showcase. A makeshift catwalk will be set up on the third floor of the library with spectator chairs lining either side. Loblaws City Market is donating snacks and refreshments.

“It’s not going to be really structured like a true fashion show you see on the runways, but it’s going to be a lot of fun,” Evers says.

All proceeds from the event will go to Lions Gate Hospital. At $10 a ticket, Evers doesn’t expect the fashion show to be a major money-maker, but she hopes it will raise awareness about the auxiliary as well as dollars.

“It’s an opportunity for us to get our name out there and showcase what we do,” she says. “We’re hoping that it will create some new clientele coming into the shop.”

The Dogwood Shop carries brand new gifts and clothing, while the thrift shop stocks an array of previously owned garments, small appliances and home décor items.

The art of sewing explained Sewing for Fashion Designers by Anette Fischer (Laurence King Publishers, 320 pages) $90

NORTH SHORE NEEDLE ARTS GUILD Needlework/embroidery, both traditional and modern, is enjoyed and shared by a friendly group every second Thursday of the month at St. Martin’s Anglican Church Hall, 195 E. Windsor Rd. North Vancouver. Beginners welcome. 604-990-9122

This is not your mom’s sewing book, but if you are ready to learn about the sewing and construction skills and techniques used to create today’s fashions then this is the book you’ve been waiting for.

Anette Fischer takes you through the basics, initially covering in detail the tools needed for all aspects of sewing. She goes through the process of taking body measurements from a variety of positions and explains the proper way to read patterns.

LIONS GATE QUILTERS GUILD meets the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at St. Andrew’s and St. Stephen’s Presbyterian Church, 2641 Chesterfield Ave., North Vancouver.

with the type of donations that people give us. We have a good quality of merchandise, and at really reasonable prices,” Evers says. “We have a lot of designer stuff too.”

Unlike hospital foundations, which employ paid professionals to raise large sums of money for major projects, auxiliaries are more grassroots and depend on volunteers.

“We give money for

medical equipment and for patient needs as well,” Evers explains.

The Lions Gate auxiliary has some 200 active members. About 50 volunteer their time at the thrift shop and 30 volunteer at Dogwood.

Others choose to offer their services within different areas of the hospital, such as the information desk.

“They’re helping people navigate through the hospital, because it can be quite a maze and if you’re

going to visit someone or you’re having a procedure, you’re kind of nervous and you need a little help,” Evers says.

The auxiliary also does a lot of work at Evergreen House residential care facility, providing services, such as nail clipping, and funds to purchase new beds or TVs. For those interested in helping the auxiliary, Evers says there are three ways to make a difference.

“Either shop at one

of the stores, donate or volunteer,” she says, adding, “All the monies stay on the North Shore, they stay in the community.”

As of Thursday, the fashion show fundraiser was nearly sold out. Those who manage to snag tickets are advised to hold on to them.

“If they save their ticket they can redeem it back at the thrift store for $5 off their next purchase,” Evers says.

The second chapter is devoted to textiles and provides a better understanding of natural and man-made fabrics and their individual characteristics. Later chapters are devoted to stitches, sewing techniques, construction, linings and much more.

Fischer leads the way through the art of sewing and design with plenty of specific references to their application in the fashion industry. Hundreds of illustrations demystify the processes discussed and the many colour photographs show both the creation and finished products.

Carson Graham improv team with Schofield, and NorthVancouver resident Paige Fraser (Lucius Andronicus).

Writer AndrewWade was acting in a fundraiser production ofTitus Andronicus at the University ofVictoria several years ago when he first got the idea to reinvent the tragedy as a musical comedy.

“It struck me that, while the show has a lot of elements that are deeply moving and powerful, there are also elements within the show that just seem silly,” saysWade, who is also performing in the one-man show The Most Honest Man in theWorld at this year’s Fringe Festival.

Wade wrote the book

and lyrics for Titus, Jenny Anderson created the original music and this world premier is being directed by AndyToth, artistic director of Awkward Stage Productions.The play opens with Shakespeare himself bemoaning the fact that modern audiences don’t seem to care forTitus Andronicus.

“He decides to make it a musical comedy, because that’s what people want to see on stage today — people dancing, having fun, laughs — not necessarily some old tragedy where people are getting horribly dismembered and what not,” Wade says.

The addition of song and dance has an interesting effect on the gratuitous violence that exists in Shakespeare’s play,Wade explains.

“It highlights the spectacle nature that we already give violence in our society today,” he says. “We already consider violence great entertainment.We’ll go to happily see people get shot in many, many different ways in the movie theatre, onTV.” Inspired by the comedic stylings of Conan O’Brien, Monty Python andTrey Parker and Matt Stone, Wade says there is a spirit of absurdity throughout Titus. And while he hopes audiences come out and have a “light and delightful time,” he also hopes the play will make people consider why it is that violence has such entertainment value.

“Why is it OK to laugh with glee about certain things and not others?Why do we hold the taboos that we do?” he asks.

Jazz Talk with Neil Ritchie — Peggy Lee: A seminar touching on various aspects of jazz from across the decades Tuesday, Sept.

— compiled by Debbie Caldwell.

Russians invaded the island From page 18 War, Finland was under invasion by the Soviet Union and used the lighthouse to monitor movements of the Soviet fleet. In 1941 Russian troops came ashore in thick fog to terminate that function.They failed.The Finnish garrison fled to the upper floors, and the 14th step still bears the mark of a grenade flung down to prevent further Russian advance.

In its heyday the island was home to 31 people including 21 children with their own school. Space was extremely limited, but the children knew no other life, and the staff were former sailors who had probably experienced Baltic storms afloat and who appreciated being able to go indoors to a warm fire instead. They supplemented their diets with fish, with seals in the winter and with seabirds in the spring.

The seabirds still provide pleasure. Eider duck nest in large numbers, entirely unafraid of visitors, and are on the increase because the large eagles often seen hovering overhead, and who are their main predators, are scared away.

History, adventure and an eagle’s-eye view from the tower’s top: only rough weather should scare away visitors.

If you go: Visits to Bengtskär begin at Käsnäs, 2 1/2 hours west of Helsinki, and include a worthwhile visit to Rosala Viking Centre. For more information visit www. bengtskar.fi/english.htm.

2015VW Golf Sportwagon

VW keeps wagon rolling

Brendan McAleer

Grinding Gears

If the collective car pundits of the world had their way, we’d eschew all crossovers (CRVs, RAV4s) in favour of a sensible, stylish, preferably dieselpowered small European wagon. Regrettably, nobody makes one, and— oh hang on.Volkswagen still does.

If you’re not looking for the luxury badge cachet (and cost) of a BMW or a Mercedes, then there’s really

only one wagon game left in town. Subaru killed theirs off. So did Mazda, at least on our shores. However, if you prefer a good oldfashioned longroof,VW is happy to sell you Volks a Wagen.

Thank goodness for that.

While many people prefer the higher seating position of a crossover or SUV, others simply want a car that drives just like a sedan except with better cargo capacity.That’s

the Golf Sportwagon to a tee — it’s simply a Golf with a bigger hatchback.

When you’ve got the market all to yourself, there’s seemingly not much need to stay competitive. However, to woo new buyers out of crossovers and into this practical little wagon,VW has entirely redone the car, bringing it up to snuff with the Golf it’s based on. So, should you circle the wagon on your shopping list?

Design Like the seventhgeneration Golf or a modern 911, you’d have to look pretty close to chart the changes. German marques don’t like upheaval, and they tend to make evolutionary, rather than revolutionary changes.

Thus, the new Sportwagon looks a lot like the old one, just with some See Storage page 51

Thirty new Chryslers, and the Barracuda returns Last week, Fiat-Chrysler dealers gathered in Las Vegas for an update on what’s coming down the pipeline for the company in the next few years. It’s been an odd time for FCA in the last while, with massive recalls, and a CEO that’s acting like a lovelorn middle school teenager and trying to merge with

an Abarth version with stronzo turbo power.

Also exciting is the new Trackhawk version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, a vehicle that’ll sit above the SRT version. Under its hood is the 707 horsepower supercharged V-8 out of the Hellcat cars, and really, swapping this beast into the hotselling Grand Cherokee just makes sense. With all-wheel drive, this thing is going to be absolutely monstrous off the line.

The new Charger was also shown, with roots

dealer-body got it, with something like 30 new models announced or hinted at. Some of these we’ve already expected, like the eight-passenger Grand Wagoneer SUV (perhaps a blue-collar rival to the MercedesBenz GL), and the Fiat 124 Spider, based on the Mazda Miata.

Note to those who were hoping Mazda would go turbocharged for their next MX-5: the Fiat version will still be built in Japan (so the doors won’t fall off), but will come with

Tesla Model X nearing readiness While pundits quarrel over Tesla’s profitability, and the company burns cash like a SpaceX rocket, fans can’t get enough of the electric cars they produce.You can see why: unlike the stodgy eco-pods offered by most other manufacturers, Tesla has made the electric car sexy with swoopy styling, huge power output and performance, and a healthy dose of early-adopter sheen for the image conscious.

In many ways, especially on the West Coast, the Model S is the new Porsche 911, a flagship of cutting edge capitalism.

However, it does snow here from time to time, so what about a crossover version?

The Model X seems like it’s been in the pipeline forever, leading some to wonder if those fantastical falcon-doors were too much of a flight of fancy to actually function. However, the first models are due for delivery next month, and some pricing details and performance figures are leaking out.

As you might expect, the top-level Model X is pretty costly, with the fully loaded Signature trim costing $132,000 US, and an optional Ludicrous Mode for $10,000 on top of that. Oof. However, fully optioned as such, the Model X will blast to 100 kilometres per hour in 3.2 seconds, faster than almost any sportscar.

Given how costly some of the German competition can get with options, be they AMG or M Power or Porsche, expect the Model X to be snapped up by those who already love their Tesla sedans.

Ford working to return the Ranger The Ford Ranger was, perhaps, the last small cheap truck. Discontinued a few years ago, it was broadly outdated when compared to most of its Japanese rivals, but it was also simple and inexpensive.You know, just like trucks are supposed to be.

However, Ford sells so many F-150s, they just can’t be bothered to stock a mid-sized truck in their already pretty expansive lineup — or can they? After all, the Ranger is still out there for other markets, and while it’s now a larger, more robust machine than the old version, there might still be room in the segment for something to slot under the F-150 in your Ford showroom.

Currently, Ford’s in talks to move Ranger production to Michigan, to replace the new Mexicobound Focus and C-Max production. With U.S.based production for the Ranger, it’d be easy for Ford to dodge import pickup taxation and offer the Ranger at a reasonably affordable price. With the mid-sized pickup market on the upswing, as car and

crossover owners move into trucks thanks to less expensive fuel, it’d be a good move.

With gasoline prices relatively low, a brace of new full-sizers could make for very profitable years for FCA. The product is there, or in the pipeline, if they can just get a handle on the recalls.

minor re-polishing of the surface metal. If you’re a fan of the old one, this is very good news, but if you were hoping for a radical departure, you won’t find it here.

Still, in a world where even a Toyota Camry needs a grille the size of a barn door, it’s nice to have a more reserved option.This midtrim model also came with a nice LED accenting around the headlights, and 17-inch alloys. Fifteen-inch alloy wheels are standard.

Environment If the exterior is as discreet as Mercedes and BMW used to be, then so too is the VW’s interior. In black, it’s actually somewhat spartan in feel, devoid of fancy styling flourishes.

Laughing time is over, says VW’s interior with Teutonic reserve. Again, though, everything’s rather nice. It even smells German.

The front seats are very well bolstered and really comfortable on a longer trip.

The rear seats are fine too, though better suited to kids

than adults.

Out back is the wagon’s raison d’etre, a huge cargo space that easily dwarfs that found in the Tiguan.Total space is 860 litres with all seats in place and 1,880 litres with them folded.

Even better than that is the folding rear floor, which moves forward to access the space-saver spare tire, creating even more room for strollers and the like.

We were able to fit a fullsized running stroller plus a week’s worth of travel luggage for two kids under the age of three in the back of the Sportwagon without issue.

Performance Previously, buying a Golf wagon without getting the diesel was reckless insanity.

The old 2.5-litre inline-five didn’t just drink fuel, it had nothing like the same strong resale as the TDI version did. Now though, there’s a 1.8-litre turbocharged fourcylinder with far punchier low-end torque and solid fuel economy.

However, for longdistance touring, nothing beats the VW’s 2.0-litre

For maximum sportiness — well, you’ll have to move to Europe, as that’s the only place you can get the Sportwagon in full sport mode. Here, though, it’s still a sprightly drive, great in the corners and as responsive as a sedan.

Better yet is the fuel economy, which on the highway remains the TDI’s calling card. Regardless of heavy traffic or higher speeds on the I-5 down to Portland, the Sportwagen relentlessly put out a fuel See Lone page 54

Lone wagon stands in a sea of CUVs From page 53

consumption of just above 5.5 litres/100 kilometres.

That’s with the automatic — the manual version should do slightly better if you let the torque do its work.

Features Now available in a less-expensive base diesel model, the Sportwagon remains the kind of car that people tend to option up to the hilt. Just because you want to save pennies at the pump doesn’t mean you’ll pinch them when it comes time to splash out for leather and heated seats.

Having said that, VW’s new infotainment and navigation system can’t come soon enough. Apart from the proprietary cable connectors, the navigation system takes ages to plot a route, and occasionally supplies some pretty odd directional instructions.

The screen is also on the small side, and getting the Bluetooth handsfree to work every time isn’t a guaranteed outcome.

Official fuel economy figures for the TDI

Sportwagon are 5.4 (litres/100 km) on the highway for manualequipped cars, and 7.7 in the city. Real world mileage, especially highway results, usually matches projections with ease.

Green light Very economical to run; strong diesel resale; sweet-handling chassis; comfortable and torquey.

Stop sign Expensive to maintain; slow-witted, glitchy navigation.

The checkered flag The antidote to the common crossover.

Competition Mazda CX-5 ($22,995) Part of the reason people buy crossovers is that there aren’t many drawbacks when compared to a wagon. Most owners of the old Mazda6 wagon will tell you that they loved the car and miss having it on the market as an option, but the CX-5 provides most of the same haulage abilities.

Having said that, nothing touches a turbodiesel for mileage, especially on the highway.
