Acting nod first for
Canadians in 20 years

TORONTO (CP) — Graham
Greene became the first Canadian in
20 years to win an Academy Award
nomination for acting Wednesday
when he was honored for his suppor-
ting performance if the film Dances
With Wolves.

The 38-year-old Oneida Indian was
nominated for his portrayal of
Kicking Bird, a medicine man who
befriends an army officer played by
Kevin Costner in the epic western,
which nabbed a leading 12 mentions
for this year’s Oscars.

The last nominated Canadian ac-
tor was another Indian — Chief Dan
George, who won a supporting nod
in 1971 for Little Big Man.

“Really — is that a fact?’* Greene
asked from Ottawa, where he was
rehearsing a play at the National Ar-
ts centre.

“I didn’t know that — puts me in
good company, I guess.’”

A modest, soft-spoken man from
the. Six Nations reserve near Bran-
tford, Ont., Greene wouldn’t predict
whether his nomination would lead

to other Holly film roles.

And he refused to speculate on his
chances of winning the coveted prize.

“You can be darn sure I’m going
to be in Los Angeles for the awar-
ds,”’ said the actor, who lives in
Toronto with his wife when he’s not
touring in stage plays or making
movies.

“But I have no idea what will
happen — I’m not a soothsayer.””

Greene had to learn the difficult
Lakota language for his role in Dan-
ces With Wolves, which also features
several other Canadian native actors
— including Alberta’s Tantoo Car-
dinal.

Directed by Costner, the film has
been praised for its treatment of
American Indians in the 19th cen-
tury.

It has also been a box-office hit,

garnering $104 million so far.

Oscar nominees for supporting ac-
tor include two men who have split
most of the year’s awards in that
category — Bruce Davison as a com-
passionate homosexual in Longtime
Companion and Joe Pesci for his
goofball gangster in GoodFellas.

Also nominated are Andy Garcia
in The Godfather Part II] and Al
Pacino in Dick Tracy, both for mob-
ster roles.

“I haven't seen any of the other
nominated performances — in fact, I
haven’t been able to see any movies
at all,’’ Greene said. ‘I’ve been
travelling all over the place and every
time I try to see a movie something
comes up.””

In recent months the actor has
been touring with the play Dry Lips
Oughta Move to Kapuskasing, which
won him Toronto’s Dora Mavor
Moore award for best actor in 1989.

The play, by native writer Tomson
Highway, opens in Ottawa in late
February.

When it closes in mid-March,
Greene and his wife — married in
December — will go on their
honeymoon before attending the
Oscar ceremony in Hollywood on
March 25.

Until then, he. plans to live a nor-
mal life rather than worry about
winning.

Conference geared for women

By CasNews Staff

A one-day conference for women
is being held in Castlegar March 13
at the Fireside Motor Inn.

Called the Business Success for
Women Conference, the agenda in-
cludes guest speakers and workshops
geared for women who are either
considering a business venture, are
already self-employed or are in-
terested in improving personal career
skills, the Federal Business Develop-
ment Bank says in a news release.

The FBDB, the Ministry of
Government Management Services,
and the Ministry of Regional and
Economic Development are spon-
soring the conference.

“It gives women a chance to meet
other women in the West
Kootenay,’ FBDB manager Barbara
Peabody said in an interview with
the Castlegar News. ‘‘And it gives
them a chance to network and make
contacts.””

She said conferences like this help
give women the same kinds of net-
working opportunities as men have
with business oriented groups such as
the Rotary Club.

“It’s still harder for women to
start a business,’ Peabody said.
“It’s not nearly as bad as it used to
be, but there are things that could be
better.”

Guest speakers at the conference
include keynote speaker Ann Coom-
bs who will discuss topics such as in-
novative marketing and compassion
in business, Lois Campbell of the
FBDB said in the release.

“We are delighted to have such an
accomplished keynote speaker for
the Castlegar conference,’"” Campbell

ANN COMBS

said. ‘‘Her message is
provoking."”

Nine workshops will be offered at
the conference. Each participant can
choose three,

The conference opens with break-
fast and registration and wraps up
with a wine and cheese after closing
speeches.

“They've been really successful in
the past,”’ Peabody said. ‘We've

thought

had great feedback. Many par-
ticipants -leave with renewed
motivation to continue with their
business and personal plans. The
cost of the conference is a personal
investment.””

The fee is $100 if registered before
March 6, and $125 after, plus GST.
Door prizes include a trip to Van-
couver on Air BC,
