Bloods get new police chief

Page 24

On first acquaintance, Wayne Hamby doesn't seem to be a policeman, much less the chief of a busy, growing police department. But appearances would certainly be deceiving in this case.

Despite his soft-spoken manner, the newly appointed Chief of Police on the Blood Reserve in southern Alberta, is a highly qualified law enforcement officer. And though shy with the press, he's also an able police administrator.

Cold Lake artist earns top job

Canada's Michelangelo is a Dene Indian from Cold Lake, Alta.

Alex Janvier has been selected to paint his abstract work on the massive dome

of the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa this winter.

Although Janvier jokes about turning the dome into the Sistine Chapel, the artistic commission is one of the most important in the country.

A temporary floor will be built so Janvier can stand up to complete the four-month job. The dome, at the river end of the museum's grand hall, measures 45 square metres.

Last of the Mohicans a visual feast

Page 13

What Michael Mann's direction brings us in the Last of the Mohicans, a script adapted from the James Fenimore Cooper novel, is a well crafted visual feast of images about "the frontier." This is imagery that is embedded in a tradition of Romanticism about the "new world." This is not to say this film avoids the violence of Black Robe - there are generous portions of that, in new varieties.
