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
Trevor LautensThis Just In
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.
Lets not waste another$800,000 only to make ourstreets and paths
less safe.DonMcPhersonNorthVancouver
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
