Tsleil-Waututh re-elects council

BRENT [email protected]

Tsleil-Waututh Nationmembers have voted toreturn their chief andall ve band councilmembers to lead themfor another term.

The First Nation ofabout 500 members onthe North Shore held theirelection onTuesday, seeingChief MaureenThomaswin a narrow race andcouncil members CharleneAleck, Deanna George,Travis George, LianaMartin and JenThomasretain their seats.

Thomas netted 92 voteswhile the closest runner-up former Chief LeahGeorge-Wilson earned86.There were two othercandidates running forchief and 16 membersnominated for council.

The bands councilwill have a very busy twoyears ahead,Thomas said,as the Nation has led alawsuit against the federalgovernment arguing theassessment and reviewprocess for KinderMorgans applicationto twin its pipeline toBurrard Inlet has illegallyfailed to consider FirstNations rights and titleand consultation.

Were trying to strivefor long-term survival forour people in this area. Ifanything should happenthere, this is our home.

We have no place to gofrom that point on if thereis a big disaster with thisresource coming into ourterritory,Thomas said.

Tsleil-Waututh Nationhas also partnered with theAquilinis for developmenton BurnabysWillingdonLands, as well as a multi-family development onits RavenWoods land andpotentially more single-family homes at the eastend of the reserve.

The initiatives areaimed at looking towardsthe future to ensureour future generations

have a strong identityon the North Shore andso they can survive ascommunity,Thomas said.

Theres just so muchhappening around us, wedont want our communityto get lost in the rapidgrowth of the whole ofCanada, she said.

Council will alsowork on building morepartnerships with the Cityand District of NorthVancouver,Thomas said.

In total, 199 memberscast ballots, which isthe highest number inrecorded history.Thats

somethingThomasattributes to the youngand growing populationof the band becomingmore engaged.Turnoutfor band meetings has alsobeen increasing and thebands management hasbeen making an effort toincrease transparency andaccessibility for members,Thomas said.

There was a reallygood turn out, which Ithink is fantastic becauseit shows the communitywas really interested inshowing their support,she said.

The results demonstratethat Tsleil-Waututhmembers have trust andfaith in their leadership,she added.

I dont see the split inthe votes as being for oragainst somebody. I see itas the community reallywanting to participate and,no matter who got in. Ithink were at the stagewhere we have supportno matter who is there. Ithink its all favourable.

Under the Indian Act,Tsleil-Waututh Nationholds its band electionsevery two years.

Chief and entireband councilreturn to leadfor another term

With those four bitsof information, you canpretty much prove youreanybody,Teevan said.

With Canada Postphasing out home deliveryover the next few years,the Crown corporationrisks losing all relevanceif it doesnt show moreaction in tackling mail andidentity theft,Teevan said.

People arent justgoing to sit by and takeit.What theyre going todo is take steps and say,If Canada Post doesntcare about security of mypersonal information, Ido.

The alternative, he said,is abandoning the practiceof sending any sensitiveinformation by regularmail, and Canada Postwill become nothing but ajunk mail distributor, hesaid.

Canada Post says theboxes will be replacedsoon.

We are replacing theboxes in that area with thenew model that weve beenrolling out in communitiesacross the country as partof our conversion, saidJon Hamilton, CanadaPost spokesman. Were

just waiting on someequipment. Hopefully bythe end of this week orearly next week, theyllbe replaced and back inservice for the people.We certainly regret anyinconvenience.

Hamilton couldnt

disclose how the newboxes are different, otherthan to say they havemore security features.Anyone who suspectstheir personal informationhas been compromisedshould keep a close eyeon their bills and nancial

statements for anyirregularities.

Canada Post isntscheduled to end homedelivery on the NorthShore until at least 2016,Hamilton said.

NorthVancouverRCMP, meanwhile, havelittle to update on the caseas mail theft investigationsare typically handedover to Canada Postssecurity team, accordingto Cpl. Richard De Jong,NorthVancouver RCMPspokesman.

If there are anywitnesses, we investigatethem but we bring inCanada Post securityand advise them. I knowon that one, there are nosuspects.We document.Wetake pictures.We canvassthe neighbourhood, hesaid.

Its the $1-millionquestion whether there isany link between the rstbreak-in in September andthe one in February, DeJong said.

Because we dont geta lot of mailbox thefts,knock-on-wood, on theNorth Shore, its possiblebut we dont know becausewe dont have enoughevidence or anything atthis point to say theyreconnected.

Newboxes more secure

The bungling boys andgirls of theTransit andTransportation Coalitionhave stooped to truth-suppression.Oh, slapmywrist, be kind:Selectiveediting.

Sure, its common:Hewho pays the piper gets tocall the pipers tune. So far,its off-key for theYes team inthe Metro transit plebiscitescrum. Strike up the band toplay that old favourite withthe lyrics, You wont listento my plea/Wont say Yes inany language to me

The richly fundedYessirsare trailing the No side inthe polls roughly 2-1.Yet theNosirs, captained by JordanBateman of the CanadianTaxpayers Federation,are way in the back of thebudgetary bus with a mere$40,000.

The elite-drivenYessirsare paying Proximis DigitalInc. to gather media and

other reaction.TheYessirsunderstandably want goodnumbers.And Proximis,also understandably, cantquote everyone. It does citeCKNWs Bruce Allen, aplebiscite nay-sayer.

But its long list leaves outElizabeth Jamess excellentfact-lled, and nay-leaning,March 18 column in thispaper, which includeddevastating criticisms by

WestVancouver MayorMichael Smith, who scornsthe secretive meetings oftheYes-sponsoring MetroMayors Council.My timidlittle March 13 item is alsoomitted. I cry myself tosleep.

But heres the decisivefailed test of, whats thatfavourite word of theprogressives, inclusiveness:Excellent News reportersJane Seyd and Brent Richterwere assigned to compileinterviews not their ownopinions making the casefor the Nossirs andYessirsrespectively.Wait for it:Richters story appears onthe Proximis list. Not Seyds.

I shamelessly quotemyself:The leadershipand many members of theYessirs overwhelminglyhave this in common.Theyare politicians, downtownbusiness people, highbureaucrats, self-important

media types, charity moguls,and the delivery people whosupply and sustain them.They write off their drivingand parking costs.Theydont take public transitthemselves. Never will.Theywant other people to take it.

Theres an unspokengentlepersons agreementthat columnists mustntupbraid other columnists.Nonsense.Were not littleGreek gods.

In a Feb. 2 Sun columnYes-sayer Stephen Humedropped his humorless,sternly reasoned sermonsfor personal fuming andHuming about Batemanand his taxpayers federationa minuscule, Prairie-based, fundamentally non-democratic special interestgroup that operates likesome self-appointed secretsociety.A weird tirade

that, minus the prairie bit,uncannily describes theYes-dominated Metro MayorsCouncil.

Weirdest of all wasportraying Bateman as acarpet-bagger mucking in onaVancouver issue. Batemanhas aVancouver ofce. Hewas a LangleyTownshipcouncillor for six years. Hesbeen a journalist in that area.

In contrast, Hume livedfor years on Saturna Island(pop. 250 or so), where theve oclock rush consists ofa truck or two winding downthe road to the (delightful)dockside pub.Now he issueshis Metro trafc-solvingpronunciamentos from hisleafy home in Deep Cove,North Saanich,VancouverIsland.Whos the carpet-bagger?

Then theres PeterLadner and, truly,notwithstanding these gentlewords, I personally like

and admire the journalisticcraft of both Ladner andHume, just enjoy lettinga little air out of them fortheir own eternal souls.In a March 10 column,Ladner, who candidly tellshis Business inVancouverreaders hes a director of theYessir coalition, unrolledmelodrama rivalling theold skit The Drunkard. Heimplied that aYes vote wouldend the plight of everydaypeople such as the youngmom with the strollerstanding in the rain as a fullbus passes her by.

Peter, if aYes vote wouldguarantee that no full buswould ever pass a mom andher stroller or, another ofhis examples, save a younggrad lacking dependabletransit from spending$10,000 a year on his car(what, a Ferrari?) Id beat

Its politics as usual for Yes coalition

Noend InsiteS ay what you will about PrimeMinister Harper and hisgovernment.Theyre nothing if notpersistent.Vancouvers pioneering safe injection

facility Insite earned its annual exemptionform the Controlled Drugs andSubstances Act to continue offering harmreduction services for people addicted toheroin this week.But that exemption is going to be a lot

harder to achieve in the future, thanks toParliaments passing of Bill C-2, whichaims to put more stumbling blocks in theway of Insite and any other facility usingthe same methods.This after the 2011 Supreme Court of

Canada ruling that the health ministerunduly denying access to life-saving harmreduction measures would amount to aviolation of Canadians charter right to

security of the person.By this point, the government has

been well briefed by experts in addiction,public health and crime reduction thatInsite save lives, stems the spread ofdisease and provides a meaningful rststep out of addiction.Our government has made the

ideological value judgment that thosegoals are less important than sendingthe message that drugs are bad.Andthey arent shy about using Insite as abogeyman to help them in their partyfundraising.The trouble is, other than setting its

course for yet another expensive andembarrassing loss in the courts, thegovernment is demonstrating it is willingto risk the lives of those who depend onthe service.They deserve compassion, notfurther denunciation.

Timing in politics iseverything, whichmakes the B.C. Liberalgovernments decisionto publicize its 10-yeartransportation planjust as people in MetroVancouver startedreceiving their transitplebiscites somewhatpuzzling.

The ofcial reason forthe timing that it wasto provide certainty forproject contractors andmunicipalities is ratherweak.Waiting a few weeks(until the end of the votingperiod) wouldnt have mademuch difference.

In any case, thetransportation plan servedto remind potentialplebiscite voters of thestark contrast in how thegovernment is treatingtheir transportation needscompared to the needsof those outside MetroVancouver.

The 10-year planboasts of spending about$2.5 billion but almost allof that is earmarked forprojects (chiey highwayimprovements) outside ofMetroVancouver. It refers

to the mayors plan in Metrobut contains no hard andfast funding commitments.

There are a couple oflines where the governmentpromises to provide one-third funding for majorrapid transit projects butwith two big excuses for thegovernment to say no: ifthe project doesnt t intoits scal plan, or if it cantmake a business case theprovince approves of.

With those caveats inplace, the government is freeto determine which projectst its political agenda. So,the Massey Bridge andSurrey rapid transit rankat the top (along with a

SkyTrain extension furtherinto Surrey, perhaps evenas far as Langley) whilethe Broadway subway lineis nearer the bottom ofpriorities.

Even if the No sidewins the plebiscite, thosekinds of projects will stillbe built, but the timing oftheir construction will be inthe hands of the provincialgovernment.

Nevertheless, a numberof MetroVancouverresidents have hit uponan inconsistency here: aplebiscite is being used todetermine the future oftransportation projects intheir region, but not in anyother regions.

That, plus the factthat no one else outsideof MetroVancouver isbeing asked to pay a highertax for transportationimprovements.

In fact, the juxtapositionof the 10-year transportationplan with the transitplebiscite underscores howquestionable the wholeplebiscite idea is in the end.

I cant see how this helpsthe beleagueredYes side as itstruggles to convince voters

to send in ballots with an Xin theYes box, but perhapsthat is by design.

As Ive noted before,the Clark government hasbeen, at best, tepid in itssupport for theYes side. Onpaper, it insists it is rmlybehind aYes vote but thereis little evidence of anyoneon the government sideaggressively campaigningfor it.

A successful No vote willput pressure on mayors tond new funding sources,and presumably will reducepressure on the provincialgovernment at least inthe short-term to forkover billions of dollars inimprovements.

Hmmm. Perhapsthat timing of the plansannouncement wasnt sopuzzling after all.

Speaking of puzzling, thesudden cancellation of theappointment of former B.C.Liberal cabinet ministerGeorge Abbott as the nextB.C.Treaty Commissionercame out of the blue lastweek.

On the other hand, like

the transportation planannouncements timing,perhaps the decision not toratify an earlier offer to himisnt so puzzling, when youconsider the fact he ran asa candidate in that 2012B.C. Liberal leadershiprace which was far from alove-in.

If youll recall, Abbotttook pointed swipes at theeventual winner, ChristyClark, for her lack ofexperience and her lack ofsupport from members ofthe B.C. Liberal caucus.Like almost everyoneelse, he also dismissed herchances of re-election, soclearly there is no love lostbetween them.

Abbott, who was

shocked by the decision notto give him the job, told me:The knives came out forme in the cabinet room, Iguess.

The governmentslast-second double-crossof Abbott (AboriginalRelations Minister JohnRustad had put his nameforward last year) drew theire of First Nations leaders,but that apparently didntseem to register with somefolks in cabinet, I guess.

Political leadershipcandidates can be likeelephants, I suppose.Theyhave very long memories.

Dear Editor:The recent changes on

Jones Avenue in NorthVancouver are a disaster forboth cyclists and motorists.This so-called upgrade (ata cost of $800,000) shouldresult in heads rolling atthe city.The changes arecontrary to the directiongiven to staff by council andresult in a less safe routefor people cycling, peopledriving, and people walking.

In February 2014, councilapproved development of anAAA (all ages and abilities)cycling network in NorthVancouver.At that meetingcouncil spoke passionatelyabout the need to separatecars from cyclists to makecycling a safer option forcommuters.

In a question put to thecandidates in the recent

municipal election, Couns.Buchanan,Keating, ClarkandMayor MussattoansweredYes to the question:Would you vote in favourof infrastructure investmentsor road space allocationsthat separate bicycles fromcars and transit along streetsidentied as bike routes inthe NorthVancouver BicycleMaster Plan?

Somehow the idea ofseparating different roadwayusers has not sunk in withthe city planners whodesigned the changes toJones Avenue, which is onthe AAA network approvedby the city.

If the city hopes to reducecongestion by encouragingpeople to cycle and walk, itis essential that people bikingare separated from peoplewalking.A cyclist travelling

at 15 kilometres/hour is adanger to walkers. It is evenmore imperative to separatemoving cars from peoplecycling.

No increase in cyclingwill result from road designsthat mean cyclists mustride single le with cars.Similarly cyclists must bebuffeted from parked cars.The possibility of car doorsopening on unsuspectingcyclists is a signicant threatto the safety of both parties.

Jones Avenue fails on allcounts.

City planners narrowedthe road for trafc calmingpurposes.This results inseveral points along theroad where a cyclist musttake the middle of the lane.Frustrated drivers mustnow wait for an opportunityto pass.Many attemptto pass in the narrowlocations. Cyclists can usethe multi-path alternativebut the path is too narrowfor any reasonable speed,endangering people walking.All users of this expensivenew facility are frustrated

and placed in unsafeconditions.

Council should takeimmediate steps to nd staffthat understand moderntransportation concepts,are able to place safety as atop priority and can bringto fruition the vision thatcouncil has approved andthat is echoed in the OCPand the citys strategic plan.

Separate paths essential to safetyDear Editor:

As a regular visitor toNorthVancouver, I washorried to see the absolutedevastation of the trees inBridgman Park along KeithRoad. I cannot imagine anypossible justication forthis travesty. It changed theskyline so much that I wasnot sure where I was. NorthVan should be thoroughlyashamed of this destructionand someone should be heldaccountable.Christopher KeyBellingham,Wash.

Northern lights put on showdown [email protected]

Parts of the LowerMainland received arare treat last week withthe appearance of thenorthern lights, somethingone North Shore residentwas able to catch on lm.

The lights, usuallyassociated with morenorthern regions, werevisible late at night March17 and early in the morningMarch 18 in areas aroundVancouver.

NorthVancouver-basedphotographer NatashaWheatley caught thephenomenon on digitalcamera at Cleveland Dam.

Wheatley, who has takenpictures of the lights beforefrom the Lower Mainland,said the occurrence happenshere more than most peoplethink. She said the last timethe lights were visible fromthe North Shore was inSeptember of last year.

Its fairly frequent.Wecan get them here at leasttwo or three times a year.

A solar storm, which

is caused by eruptionsof energy from the sunssurface reacting withatmospheric gasses, resultedin the lights being visible lastweek.

The reason we saw itthis far down is that therewas a big solar storm . . . thebiggest one weve had thisyear, she said.

Wheatley said shemonitors the night skies onsocial media and is alwaysready to venture into thedark with her camera whenword comes that the lightswill be visible.

Whenever theres a bigsolar storm, Im aware of it.I have apps.My social medianews feed is full of auroraforecasting type forums, sheexplained.

Wheatley said the lightsstarted around 11:30 p.m.March 17 and continuedon until about 3 a.m. thefollowing morning. She saidthe cold and loneliness ofbeing out at night alone wasworth the show the lightsput on.

Youre standing in themiddle of nowhere in the

dark with the northern lightsjust for you.Thats how Ioften feel . . . I feel quitelucky for that.

Matt MacDonald,a meteorologist withEnvironment Canada, saidthe phenomenon occurswhen the sun emits a largerelease of energy known as asolar are.

These travel throughthe atmosphere and as theyencounter whats calledthe ionosphere, whichis the outer limit of ouratmosphere, the chargedparticles collide withdifferent atoms.

He said the stronger thesolar are activity, the morelikely it will be visible farthersouth.However,MacDonaldsaid the appearance of lightsin a place likeVancouver stillisnt common.

Its relatively rarethat we see them down inVancouver due to just simply(more) light pollution, thecloser you are to a city.Obviously our nights arentas dark here.You need clearskies to be able to actuallysee these.

FILM

Canadian thriller conforms to typeOctober Gale.Writtenand directed by RubaNadda. Starring PatriciaClarkson and ScottSpeedman.Rating: 5 (out of 10)

JULIE CRAWFORDContributingWriter

A portrait of grief quicklyevolves into a cabin-in-the-woods thriller inOctoberGale, which shows just howstrong and silly lonewomen can be.

We dont mind the lapsesin credulity quite so muchwhen Patricia Clarkson isin the lead role. Clarksonalways elevates the lmsshe is in, even when shesrequired to calmly ignorebloody handprints on herfront door and shut herselfinside a deserted cabin.

Helen is aToronto doctortaking an indeterminateleave,mourning the deathof her husband (CallumKeith Rennie). She heads totheir Georgian Bay cabin,suppressing the happymemories as she packsup old shirts, books, andremnants of the life she has

lost.She hears a noise outside

and nds a small boat beltingviolently against her dock,a boat smeared with blood.A smart character wouldnthave left the door open, nor

calmly walked back insidepast the aforementionedbloody handprints: thenagain, smart wouldnt haveresulted in the rogue boatshunky occupant (ScottSpeedman) lying prone onher rug.

Theres no point headingfor the hills: the cottage is onan island, and power and cellservice is spotty thanks to thestorm thats brewing, one torival the October squall thatclaimed Helens husband.It doesnt occur to Helen to

be frightened of the strangerwith the bullet wound;shes more curious thanfrightened, and takes thatHippocratic Oath to heart.

It gives her somethingto do, of course, and Helenwelcomes the chance tobe useful, autonomous incontrast to the time spentdependant on her husband.The doctoring takes hermind off things but anupcoming crisis will forceHelen to face her grief head-on.

The mans name isWill, and Helen coaxes hisstory from him in betweenplaying games of crib andirty episodes in the shower.Their guilt (hers, survivor;his, criminal) unites them.

But real danger isnt faroff. It never is whenTimRoth is in the frame.

Things get frantic asHelen andWill analyze howbest to defend themselveson the island. (Filminglocations Parry Soundand Lake Joseph, Ontario,

make for pretty backdrops,whatever the weather.)Theres a lot of runningaround in the dark woods,with the wind blowing agale, plus one empoweringmoment when Helenwields the gun and asksWill to make the coffee.Beyond that, our charactersresolutely conform to type,leaving Speedman andClarkson (and Rennie, inashbacks) to work wondersin order to make OctoberGale work.

FoxTVbringing backTheX-Files

[email protected]

After months of onlinespeculation and yearsof badgering by fans,this week FoxTV nallyconrmed a six-episodereturn of the hugelypopular X-Files series.

Production is set to startthis summer, although anofcial airdate has not yetbeen released.

Series stars DavidDuchovny and GillianAnderson have both signedon, with Anderson tweetingonTuesday: Mulder, itsme.Are you ready?

The message was a cutehomage to her character onthe show who would oftenannounce a similar phraseinto her (very large bytodays standards) cellphoneto her on-screen partner.

Duchovny followed upwith his own tweet: I hopemy suit still ts.

Series creator and writer

Chris Carter is also onboard for the reboot andcalled the gap since theshow ended a 13-yearcommercial break.

In case you werent yetborn or were living under arock during the 90s,The X-Files was a phenomenon thatpremiered in 1993, lastednine seasons and spawnedtwo (one pretty good andone not so good) movies. Itwas lmed in and aroundVancouver for the rst veseasons and then moved toCalifornia for the nal four.No word yet on where thenew episodes will be lmed.

The show tells thestory of two FBI agents,one a psychologist whoinvestigates paranormalactivity, and one a medicaldoctor brought in to debunkhis theories.

Duchovny plays FoxMulder, the believer, andAnderson is Dana Scully,the non-believer (Warning:spoilers ahead).

Although they started offwith opposing viewpoints,throughout the course of theshow the characters endedup meeting in the middle,with Scully conceding shehad experienced thingsscience couldnt explainand Mulder acceptingthat not everything has asupernatural slant.

The rst ve seasonsof the The X-Files were aratings juggernaut, withmillions of viewers stayinghome Friday nights to watchthe paranormal play out onthe small screen.

However, althoughit managed to win threeEmmys, the seventh seasonmarked the decline of theshow as it was the last tofeature series star DavidDuchovny in a full-timerole. His character wasreplaced by another agent(ably played by Terminator 2alum Robert Patrick) afterpresumably being abductedby aliens (its a long story).

Duchovny would returnintermittently after that, butthe change in cast coincided

Local actor findshomeonOlympus

Olympus, a new 13-episode mythologicaldrama series, starringMatt Frewer, SonitaHenry, Cas Anvarand Graham Shiels.PremieresThursday,April 2, 10 p.m. onSuper Channel.

MARIA [email protected]

Its nearing 6 p.m. onFriday in the City ofAngels and NorthVan-born actor GrahamShiels is basking inthe spoils of SouthernCalifornia.

Oh yeah, its probablylike 80 degrees like itusually is, he says, whilelounging around his condolocated at the foot of thefamed Runyon Canyon.

Shiels deep voice failsto overshadow the six-foot-two actors affabledisposition.

Hes getting ready fora night on the town.Withdiverse acting credits thatrange from TheYoung andthe Restless soap opera tolast summers blockbuster,Guardians of the Galaxy,you might expect to Shielsto be hobnobbing withcelebrities on a Fridayevening in L.A.

In reality, his plans aremore low-key and have aCanadian avour to them:eating wings and drinkingbeer at a local sports bar.

There might be somehomesickness at playfor Shiels who lived inLynnValley for 20 years.While his acting talenthas transported him tointoxicating cities such asNewYork and L.A., Shielsstill craves that familiarfresh air of home.

If I had to choose one,I want to say NewYork butI would takeVancouverover L.A. in a heartbeat,says the 44-year-old. Ifyou just close your eyes,theres a lot more air andlight that surrounds thatcity (Vancouver).Theres alot of desperation in L.A. and its difcult not toget wrapped up in it.

Shiels credits his NorthShore roots and a regulardose of rain for keepinghim grounded.

I remember walkingto school as a little kid inrunning shoes in pouringrain, and your feet wouldbe soaked and youwouldnt even care, recallsShiels of his Upper Lynnelementary school days.

Like any LynnValley kidwho grew up in the 80s,Shiels indulged in the localrite of passage, swimmingin Lynn Canyon butnever had the courageto jump off the rocks,he says. And long beforeHollywood came calling,one of Shiels rst jobs wasdelivering the News.

With 51 acting creditsfrom the past decade tohis name, surely Shielshas someone to thank forhelping him along the way.

His indebtedness can belinked back to LynnValleyand Argyle secondarywhere he was introducedto the schools legendarydrama teacher.

I discovered acting atArgyle under the wonderfultutelage of Lloyd Burritt,reveals Shiels.

He remembers Burritt asnot only imparting actingwisdom, but also teachinghim how to connect withhis inner being.

In the mid-80s, he(Burritt) was doing yogain high school and talkingabout spirituality to kids it was such a respitefrom class, says Shiels.

The Argyle artsdepartment, duringBurritts tenure, of courseproduced other luminaries

including actor JasonPriestley and singer-songwriter Bryan Adams.

Priestley was a yearahead of Shiels at Argyle and already famous.

He was like a littlecelebrity at school, recallsShiels.

While the two haventconnected in Hollywoodover their LynnValley roots,they have tweeted at eachother a couple times.

Hes a super nice guy,says Shiels of Priestley.

Shiels himself hasremained humble in hiscareer, which got off to aslow start.

After graduating fromSimon Fraser University,Shiels was later accepted atthe esteemedYale School ofDrama, where he trained inclassical theatre.

I always wanted tobe classically trained, likeRalph Fiennes or AnthonyHopkins, says Shiels,breathlessly.

During those earlyacting years, Shiels didget dribs and drabs ofbackground work. Forone of his stints, he playeda security guard on theVancouver-lmed X-FilesTV series.

Shiels gures it wassupercial casting thatstonewalled him frombreaking through as a bonade actor.

Quite frankly, there arenot a lot of roles for bald22-year-old actors, says afollicly-challenged Shiels.My aspirations for my

talent did not match thepackage that my body camein.

A slightly dejected Shielsremained resolute, knowingthat his path to the leadingroles would just take longer.Which isnt to say he didnthave fun along the way.

Shiels found small roleson many acclaimedTVshows including CSI:NY,TheWestWing and TrueBlood, as well the long-

running soap opera,GeneralHospital.

But there is one bigscreen role that is mostmemorable, a story thatShiels will most likely tellinto his senile years.

In the movie Yes Man,Shiels character gets intoa full-on ght with JimCarreys character.

The intimidationfactor for Shiels, workingwith acclaimed comedian

Carrey, was off the charts.I remember maybe

backing off a bit, so Im notkilling him, recalls Shielsof shooting that scene. Itwas denitely the biggeststar I have ever workedwith. Hes a transcendentperformer. His talent isonce in a generation.

Last summer Shielsreturned home toVancouver to lm a newsci- series he stars in,called Olympus (premieringApril 2 on Super Channel).He plays King Aegeus inthe mythological adventureset in ancient Greece.

The show (co-directedbyWestVan actor AmandaTapping) entices as itreaches into the psycheof the characters eachwith their own desires andneeds.

Its a sexy show, thereis a lot of skin, promisesShiels.

Shiels struggled at rstto wrap his head aroundplaying King Aegeus, whodoesnt love his child.

Its very unlike thegreat relationship I hadwith my father, said Shiels,whose father passed away acouple years ago.

Looking forward, Shielssees a bright future aheadof him.

Ive been blessed to bepart of a super awesomeproject (Olympus), he says.The best is yet to comefor me.

Trumpetermentors CapU students

Randy Brecker withABand and NiteCap,Thursday,April 2, at8 p.m. at CapilanoUniversitys BlueShoreFinancial Centre for thePerformingArts.Tickets:$35/$32.

[email protected]

On the eve of his 70thbirthday,GrammyAward-winning trumpeter andcomposer Randy Breckeris taking amoment toreect on where hesbeen,while at the sametime remaining rmlyfocused on the future ofthe jazz genre to which hesdedicated his career.

I started being aprofessional when I was 15and . . . Ill be 70 years oldon Nov. 27. Its quite a lotof years of trying to gureout the trumpet but thatshowmost trumpet playersfeel about it. Its kind of amysterious instrument. Itsalways a challenge and everyday it feels a little different,and you just take it onestep at a time. So, were allstudents. Sometimes theexperience kicks in but I still,at heart, am a student ofmusic and the trumpet.

Maintaining an avidperformance and recordingcareer, Brecker, also knownfor his contributions to therock and R&B worlds, isanticipating the release ofa new project, a live albumretrospective seeing him,with the help of a talentedgroup of musical friends,offer a modern slant on ahost of hits from the 1960sto 1980s that he played on,ranging from those by Bruce

Springsteen to Paul Simon.An additional current

focus of Breckers, whosehomebase is East Hampton,NewYork, is imparting hisexperience on the risingjazz stars of tomorrow.Thatwork will bring him to NorthVancouver next week, seeinghim offer clinics as well asshare the stage with studentsat Capilano University at theBlueShore Financial Centrefor the PerformingArts,Thursday,April 2 at 8 p.m.

I took the lead of thelate-great ClarkTerry whopassed away a couple weeksago (at age 94) . . . who wasinstrumental in bringing,I think, jazz to schools andgoing to schools and workingwith young people, saysBrecker, reachedTuesday

fromMontreal, betweenworkshops with UniversitdeMontral students.

He worked with mewhile I was young and Imtrying to kind of follow inhis footsteps.He set a greatexample. Its great to givesomething back to youngkids that are really, forthe most part Ive found,ne musicians and reallyenthusiastic about music. Itkind of keeps me young, hesays.

Brecker is looking forwardto being in the LowerMainland for a couple ofdays prior to heading off toEurope for a two-and-a-halfweek run of performanceswith longtime collaboratorMike Stern, a guitarist.

While on the North

Shore, hell share the stagefor the rst time with theCapilanos ABand, underthe direction of BradTurner,who he rst met 25 yearsago, and NiteCap, led byRjeanMarois.

Their reputation haspreceded them. Im reallylooking forward to gettingtogether with BradTurner,who is a wonderful trumpetplayer himself and pianist,and also getting to know hisband and also playing withthe choir, says Brecker.

Brecker will rehearse withthe ensembles, and presenta clinic on his approach andwork to offer insight into jazzand improvisation.

Its amazing to me thatso many young people areinterested in playing music

and particularly jazz. It seemslike when the young peoplewho discover jazz, theressomething intrinsic in themusic that also beckons themto play. So there are justhundreds and thousands ofyoung aspiring jazz players,which I nd amazing, saysBrecker.

Its a strangephenomenon thatshappened the last few yearswith the burgeoning jazzeducation, which has justgrown exponentially the last20 years, he adds.

That said, jazz musicfans are waning to a certainextent, something Breckerwould like to see change.

The trick is to not onlynurture the young players,but help them nd an

audience to play in front of, ayounger audience, he says.

The Capilano concertprogram will feature someof Breckers tunes arrangedfor big band, as well as somesongs by his late brotherMichael, a tenor saxophonist.Together the brothersformed the Brecker BrothersBand in 1975.Michaelpassed away in 2007,following a diagnosis with arare form of leukemia.

Among his recentreleases is 2013s RandyBrecker:Brecker BrothersBand Reunion, which wasdedicated toMichael, aswell other departed bandmembers. In addition, theproject celebrated the groupssuccesses six albums onArista and seven Grammynominations included.Therelease features a live DVDrecorded at NewYork CitysBlue Note Jazz Club, andan 11-song studio recordingby Brecker Brothers Bandmembers from throughoutthe years.

Particularly meaningful toBrecker was having his wifeof 11 years,Ada Rovatti, asaxophonist from Italy andmother to their six-ear-olddaughter Stella, play on theproject.

Its been great to haveher in the family and playingwith me regularly. It wasa tough thing to lose mybrother.We were like oneperson. I feel the same wayabout playing withAda.Wehave a sixth sense when weplay together weve done itso much now. So its greatto have that connection, hesays.

Other recent releasesBrecker is part of includethe Jeff Lorber-led BOP,a benet bebop recordfeaturing a host of artists,in support of the PolycisticKidney Disease Foundation.

Hot off the presses isTheBrecker Brothers:Live atTheBottom Line (March 6,1976),
