DENIS SHAPOVALOV Richmond Hill native Denis Shapovalov has made Canadian history, becoming the youngest Canadian junior tennis player to win the 2016 Wimbledon Junior Tournament. Recently, Denis achieved a career high ATP singles ranking of No. 371, and another career high ITF junior ranking at No. 2. In 2015, Denis won the 2015 US Open Junior Doubles title, as he placed number one with fellow teammate Felix Auger-Aliassime. He’s truly on the right path to becoming one of the most dominant Canadian tennis players to have ever played the game.
junior Wimbledon Champion
FACES Magazine had the opportunity to join in on an interview with the tennis star to discuss his road to 2016 Wimbledon, his thoughts on becoming the youngest Canadian tennis player to win the Wimbledon for juniors, and to discuss his future in the world of tennis. Who has been your tennis role model growing up, and why? I looked up to Roger Federer a lot. I try to perfect my game to be like his and I try to play like him...just the way he acts on the court is very inspiring to me. I hope to be able to achieve what he’s achieved. What is it like to partner up with a past competitor, Felix Auger-Aliassime? Although we’ve met on the court as rivals, we are also very good friends—he’s practically a brother to me. So, that part makes it easy to play doubles together. Because we’re so close, we correct each other on the court, and tell each other when or when not to go for shots. I think that’s why we make such a good doubles team. Who was the first person you called after winning the 2016 Wimbledon junior singles title? How did it feel? It was unbelievable. The feeling is just indescribable really, it all kind of hit me at once. The first people I called after were my parents, of course. They were just so filled with joy. I knew how nervous they had been while watching me so it was very good for them. What was the atmosphere like while you were playing on Court 1 at the 2016 Wimbledon junior tournament? It was very tough at the start. I’ve never played on such a big court with so many fans watching me, so it was very tough for me to play my very best game from the beginning. I think as the match went on, I settled down and tried to focus on the match rather than all of the fans there, and I managed to play some good tennis.
It was unbelievable. The feeling is just indescribable really; 6 | August 2016
Seeing as how you grew up so close to Richmond Hill, what does it mean to you to be able to compete at the Rogers Cup? I think it’s going to be a great experience for me. I grew up watching The Rogers Cup many times. Every time I watched it when I was little, I always wanted to play on the big court so it’s definitely going to be a good time for me.
What was the dinner like when you got back home with your mom and dad? It was fantastic. We celebrated for sure. I got to see my family and my brother, which is very important for me since I haven’t seen them in a while. We talked more about life rather than tennis, and it was nice to get away from everything. It was a great time.
What was it like coming back from a set down in the final? What was your mindset as you went through what looked like a tough path? I think I started off very nervous, so when the first set ended, I just tried to reset my mind a little bit and start over in the match. I tried to start the second set very well, which I did. After that, I just tried to keep the pressure on him and the momentum going, and I managed to do that which was good.
What is your comfort level on ground and what’s your preference on surfaces? I think I love playing on grass. Last year, I played and beat the number 5 junior in the world in my first round of Wimbledon so I knew playing on grass would be good for me this year. I think it really helps my game, especially since I have such a big serve and a big forehand. The rallies are very short so I think all of that really compliments my game. I didn’t know I was going to do this well though.
Where do you see yourself in 2-3 years down the line? In 2-3 years, I hope to be playing in the big tournaments where Milos is playing. I hope I can be in the same spot as some of those guys. Can you describe what the 4 or 5 days after your big win were like for you? Did anyone that you didn’t expect to hear from get in touch with you? Yeah, I got lots and lots of messages on my phone but I try not to focus on that too much. There’s about 10 people who I’m truly friends with or my family, that’s the group of people messaging me that I really care about, so I just try and focus on that. Speaking of family, we’ve heard you were back at your mom’s tennis camp after the tournament. Were kids giving you a bit more attention then than they did before? Yeah, it’s pretty funny how every time I come back with more and more success, they look at me as if I’m Roger Federer or something. I try to make them feel more comfortable with me, I’ll try to play with them and joke around with them and by the end of the day, they’re all very relaxed and having fun. Do you have any thoughts about the future of tennis in Canada? Where do you see it going? I think it’s going in a very good direction. We have so many strong players coming up. We have Milos, who’s on top of his game right now and has made it to the finals at Wimbledon. We also have so many good juniors, including Felix, Ben, myself, etc. I just hope that younger kids look up to us and believe they could be at our level someday. I hope they work hard and hopefully win a couple more grand slams as Canadians in the future.
Now that you’ve become a grand-slam junior champion, do you have more confidence in your game? For sure. I’ve had an unbelievable year having won 3 features. I’ve only lost 1 junior match this year so all of that adds confidence. I’m going to be playing some tougher matches soon so I’m expecting to have a lot more losses, which is fine for me but hopefully I still do pretty good. Instagram: @denis.shapovalov

What is it like for you going from Junior Wimbledon, where you’re the top guy and ranked #2 in juniors worldwide, to go to back-to-back big tournaments with The Rogers Cup? It’s really exciting to be playing with some of the really big players and I’m hoping to see where my level is at compared to them. I don’t know any other people there, so it’ll be tough finding hints but hopefully I make some friends. I want to go there, have some fun and play the best I can. How was the Champions dinner with Andy Murray and Serena Williams? It was incredible. It was very formal—it was nice to sit down and eat incredible food…no phones allowed. It was fun to see Andy Murray and Serena Williams both having a good time. I managed to get a picture with Andy Murray and I enjoyed it quite a bit!

TREVOR HARRIS NEW REDBLACKS QUATERBACK After an incredibly successful first season, the Ottawa REDBLACKS are back, and in a big way. Earlier in the season, the REDBLACKS witnessed their starting quarterback, Henry Burris, come across an injury that took him out for 7 games. Like any team in this situation, they had to then rely on their backup quarterback, Trevor Harris. Luckily for the REDBLACKS, Trevor has already made a name for himself. Trevor has had an incredible season so far, having achieved a 3-0-1 record thus far into mid July. The 30-year-old Ohio native has given hope to the REDBLACKS, as well as to the fans. Furthermore, Trevor continues to lead the league in passing yards, passing touchdowns, and completion percentage. We think it is safe to say that the REDBLACKS are certainly headed in the right direction. FACES MAGAZINE had a chance to speak with the rising start quarterback to discuss his thoughts on becoming a REDBLACK this year, what it’s been like stepping in the spotlight and what he sees for the REDBLACKS in the coming future.
You were born in the small town of Waldo, Ohio, with a population of less than 500 people. What was it like growing up in a small town, and what was the best thing about it? The best thing about it was just that everybody knows everybody and you never had to worry about traffic. (Laughs) I’m not a big traffic guy. I got used to the “no stop lights” and having your own space living out in the country and all that kind of stuff. I was really thankful for my time in Waldo and I love going back there.
I just want to be known as a guy who had great integrity. 8 | August 2016
When did you realize that playing professional football was a realistic goal for you? Were you always a quarterback, or did you play other positions in sports growing up? My dad didn’t want me to play quarterback when I was nine, so I played running back and safety. Then when I was ten, I was asked to play quarterback. I told my dad, and he looked disappointed, he kind of looked at being a quarterback as a wimp. He made me promise to never slide and to never lie on the field when I was a little kid — that was the tradeoff for him to let me play quarterback. So I started to enjoy it and kind of relish in the leadership role of being a quarterback, and to
take command of a huddle. I actually didn’t like football all the way through high school until about my sophomore year, and then I ended up falling in love with the game. I didn’t think pro football was ever a realistic goal until going into my senior year, my coach called me and said, “The Eagles from Philly are here to see you.” I thought he was joking, and I replied, “Coach, I’ll talk to you later, I’ve got some stuff to do.” He said, “No Trevor, seriously, the Philadelphia Eagles are here to see you,” and I was like, “Oh wow, really?” At that point I thought to myself that maybe it is a realistic goal to end up playing. So I just tried to stay the course for my college career and it ended up working out. God provided me with the opportunities that I’ve had. Did you have a favourite team or player growing up, and if so, what was it about that player that made you look up to them? I was such a Bengals fan growing up. I remember when I was a kid I would dance on the couch whenever Jeff Blake would throw it deep to Carl Pickens. I just loved watching him throw that deep ball and I couldn’t understand why they didn’t do it more. I was 8 years old then, and now I understand why they couldn’t,
Football was in Canada first, so it’s an honour to be up here and to be playing a game even older than American Football. but back then I had a great time rooting for them. You were a two-time finalist for the Harlon Hill Award of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, which is equivalent to the Division II Heisman Trophy, during your time as a quarterback at Edinboro University. What was your college experience like for you with all that? My college experience was outstanding. I was really grateful to have such amazing coaches and players around me who enabled me to have that success. That’s why I always tell people quarterbacks get too much credit. I did throughout my college career, because the coaches around me put me in great situations and taught me so well. They taught me the game from ground zero, and the players around me made it easy to have success. They were very supportive in doing everything that catered to our strengths, and I was just happy to be one cog in the engine. What was it like for you the first time you stepped onto a Canadian Football League practice field? Was it an easy transition to understand the Canadian game, or did it take some time to adjust to the different rules and field size? It was very difficult. I was like, “Man, what is this twelfth guy going to do?” I tried doing some research before I came up but I couldn’t find too much. Actually, into the first reshooting game after second down, we did our first down I think on one of the possessions in the game, I heard coach say, “Punt it!” And I was like, “What are we punting on?” But then I remembered that that was right, since at the third down we punt. It took me a while to get used to that. The field being wider is a big advantage since it gives more real estate for the defense to cover. It’s just such a great game, and really, football was in Canada first, so it’s an honour to be up here and to be playing a game even older than American football.
What’s the season been like for you so far, as a member of the Ottawa Redblacks? How are you enjoying being in the city so far? I love it. The fans are amazing, the area is amazing, and there’s much less traffic in Ottawa than there is in Toronto. The guys have been incredible and faced me with open arms, so I’m just happy to be a part the family here. Our quarterback room is a great room. There’s just very positive vibes and we have great leadership all around. Speaking of Toronto, what did it feel like to lead the Redblacks over your former team the Toronto Argonauts this week? Was it just like any other game, or was there extra excitement or pressure lining up against your former teammates? I’d being lying if I said there wasn’t extra pressure or that it felt much better. But at the end of the day, it’s twelve-on-twelve. I’m very grateful for my time in Toronto, and I’m very blessed for what they’ve done for me in my career — giving me a shot here to play and allowing me to prove myself. But at the same time, they’ve moved on and I’ve moved on, and I’m just happy to be here in such a great place like Ottawa. What’s your favourite thing about living in Ottawa so far? That my wife’s up here with me. It’s great that I get to have my wife with me everyday, it makes for a great roommate up here. Other than that, it’s definitely the team and the fans. The fans are completely behind us and it’s really a great feeling to have. Who controls the locker and the music room before you guys take the field, and what sort of music do the boys like to listen to before the game? We have days of the week, sometimes we get ‘White Guy Wednesday’ going, but most of the time it’s the cornerbacks and the linebackers who control the music. Sometimes it’s the O-line, but I’m more of a country and gospel music kind of guy.
Who are some of your favourite artists, and what’s the best concert you’ve ever been to? I’m actually a big fan of Sam Hunt, his music’s really cool and it’s kind of chill. I also listen to a lot of United Pursuit, they’re a great gospel music band. Actually, Swayze Waters, my roommate for the last four years in Toronto, was actually roommates with Sam Hunt for four years in college. We heard Sam’s music long before it actually came up. Back then we thought, ‘Wow, this guy’s great’. Then he started blowing up and turned into the huge star that he is now. If you weren’t playing football, what would be your dream career or job, and what do you see yourself doing after your career is over? I always grew up wanting to be a sports anchor—to be able to talk about sports on TV or maybe a sports debate thing. Then, I went to college to be a teacher. But honestly, my heart is in ministry of youth, and mentoring young men, so I would say football coaching would be in my future after playing. Is there any advice that you have for young aspiring athletes that you wish you would’ve been told when you were growing up? The main thing that I would tell young athletes nowadays is to listen to your parents and listen to your loved ones. Even though sometimes you want to roll your eyes at mom and dad, they’re telling you things because they love you and they understand what’s best for you. I think a lot of times that we don’t listen to our parents and those who are guiding and helping us are the times that we can veer off course from what our goals really are. Our parents and loved ones are the ones who really truly know what we want in the end, and they’re just trying to help us the most.
My first time I came in, I met Henry. The guy that you guys see, the smiling guy that everyone sees as Henry, that’s the guy he is. He was really the guy that I was worried about, with everybody coming in and saying ‘Trevor came in, and Henry’s here’, but he welcomed me with open arms. I’ve been able to learn a lot from him just from watching him. The quarterback room has embraced me, and it would be hard to single out just one person. All of the guys have embraced me so well and given me nicknames and all that kind of stuff, so I’m just glad to be a part of the process here. The equipment guys are awesome as well. What are some of your favourite restaurants and places to go in Ottawa? I haven’t really gotten out too much to eat in Ottawa, I’ve been trying to eat at home more with my wife, but we’re big sushi people so we like to go out for sushi. We’ve been to Real Sports a few times — they have really great food and great burgers as well. We’ll start exploring more eventually. I had my first beavertail the other day, too! It was phenomenal. When your football career has ended, how would you like your fans and teammates to remember you? I just want to be known as a guy who had great integrity. People forget the highlights, the throws, the touchdowns, the wins, and the losses. They forget all of that stuff, but who you are as a person really remains. I like to tell people, “No one’s going to remember what you say or do, but they are going to remember how you make them feel”, so I just want to make sure that I make people feel valued as a person because, at the end of the day, that’s really what it’s about. It’s about valuing people and loving others, and that’s what I really hope to do and what I aspire to do — to treat everybody well.
Who are some of the guys who really made you feel welcome as soon as you joined the Ottawa Redblacks?

When did you know that you wanted to make your career centered around comedy and acting? It took a long time for me to figure out; I realized about two weeks ago that I never actually made those kinds of decisions. I’ve said this in past interviews too, but everything that I used to get in trouble for, get expelled for, or made people angry with me for is what I now seem to get paid for, you know?
Howie Mandel Canada’s Favourite Comedian Howie Mandel has become a household name in Canada. Starting his career in comedy, his talents have led him to become the face and voice of many hit TV shows. You may have first seen him on St. Elsewhere, Deal or No Deal, or America’s Got Talent, but we know that wherever you watched him, he was entertaining. Mandel didn’t grow up with big dreams of being a comedian; rather he found himself in trouble more often than not. This, he recalls today, has ironically steered his career. Wherever Mandel goes, people follow and want more. Mandel is not just jokes—he has a huge heart, and cares deeply about issues affecting the world today. The America’s Got Talent host has talked openly about his ADHD and OCD in the public eye, using his voice to spread awareness about today’s stigma towards mental health. His comedic gift becomes central to this message in his book, Here’s the Deal: Don’t Touch Me, which is a true manifestation of Mandel’s talents and passion. FACES Magazine had the wonderful opportunity to catch up with Howie Mandel in between his busy schedule to talk about his brilliant career, life, and love for his home, Canada. Currently on it’s 11th season, and you can watch Howie on AGT help to make dreams come true.

Initially I wasn’t pursuing acting… and then I went to a meeting at NPM when they were replacing cast members. I did funny voices in my act and it eventually became a Saturday morning cartoon. One thing lead to another, and then a couple of years ago, somebody asked me to come and judge a show. I watch TV 24/7, and now I’m a judge on a hit show. I’ve never really pursued anything as much as I’ve worked to being open to wandering down this weird path. How did you get your first start in the industry? In 1977 on a dare! I went to a Yuk Yuk’s comedy show and the emcee said that amateurs could come try out on Monday nights. My friend dared me to do it, and I did. It was a great moment. I went back the next Monday, and then I ended up spending every night there just watching and doing. I never used the word ‘career’; I never used the word ‘future’. It was just something I liked to do, like when people play poker three times a week, or play basketball one-on-one with a friend at the Y once a week. I didn’t do sports and I didn’t gamble, so this was my pastime. One thing lead to another: on a vacation to California I did a show at the Comedy Store. It got seen and I was hired to do a show called, “Make Me Laugh”. When that aired, I kept getting calls back and forth while I kept a real job in Toronto, and I went back to do Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin. The Merv Griffin Show aired and Diana Ross called me, so whatever I do just seems to unfold in front of me. Tell us about the experience of being a judge on America’s Got Talent for the past 7 years. It’s amazing! That genre didn’t really used to exist; there were talent shows, but not real constructive judging when I came into the business. I sit there every minute and truly empathize and enjoy anybody who’s willing to walk out on stage and kind of bear it all. As somebody who understands that, and does that 200 nights a year, it’s just amazing to have this front row seat to, I believe, the greatest show on television. What is the best part about being a judge, and what is the worst? The best part is being a witness to somebody’s hopes and dreams in life coming true and watching their life changing forever. Its amazing to watch the moment that they walk out on stage. Whatever they’re going to do has never really seen daylight, and now they’re
in front of thousands of people and on national television. If they get accepted, their names are known. My golden buzzer this year, she’s getting like 200 million hits on Facebook right now, and everybody who’s anybody in music is after her. She’s going to be huge, and, as Simon says, the next Taylor Swift. I just watched this little girl light up and her life will never be the same, and I was there, so that’s the good part.
The best part is being a witness to somebody’s hopes and dreams in life coming true and watching their life changing forever.
The bad part is if it isn’t going to work out for somebody and you have to be the messenger. We’re into what is known as ‘Judge Cuts’ right now on the show…it’s the toughest part of the show when they tell me that a particular journey is coming to an end and they rely on the judges to give them the bad news. Sometimes in trying to be constructive and positive, but being honest, you see that it’s not being taken very well, especially by a very young person. It’s heartbreaking to not be anything but celebratory.
I love thrill rides, and the scarier, the higher and the more dangerous a ride seems, the more thrilling it is. That’s what live performing is for me.

Do you have a favourite act that sticks out in your mind from your time on America’s Got Talent? No, I have a very eclectic, wide range of what I enjoy. I’m online, on television and on the Internet 24/7. I get very little sleep; I’m fascinated by anything - and I use this term loosely - entertaining. I’ll sit and watch an infomercial in the middle of the night that’s not even in English and be fascinated and entertained, so as much as I like somebody who I believe is a spectacular talent, like Grace VanderWaal who is my golden buzzer, I’m also just as intrigued by something I don’t understand that is very outrageously weird because I find that fascinating too. I grew up in an era where there were people like Tiny Tim, and I wasn’t alone. Tiny Tim getting married on The Tonight Show had the highest ratings they ever got and it set a record. So I’m sometimes very alone in those quirky kind of weird acts that I love, but I just like to be entertained, I like to be surprised, I like it to be original, I like to it to be different, and I don’t want it to be like anything I’ve ever seen before.

“My goal is to kind of put Canada on the map, to do something with Canadians in Canada that becomes an international success.” You have always been open about your OCD and ADHD, and your book, “Here’s the Deal: Don’t Touch Me”, talks about how it has shaped your life. Tell us a bit about why it is so important for you to share your experiences with this. It was an accident that I just so happened to be somebody who has a job where other people are aware of what you’re doing. I blurted it out, and I talk about this at the beginning of the book, on Howard Stern’s radio show. I was devastated by the fact that I shared. But having done it accidentally, I realized that I opened a door that is very comforting in the fact that now that I shared, I realized that I’m not alone, and people approach me and say, “Me too”. Going outside of myself, I was able to realize that one of the biggest problems is the stigma involved in mental health issues. So that’s been my platform and where I lend my name and my face and my words, because I don’t think it’s just limited to those who have these mental health issues. They may not have OCD and they may not have ADHD, but they need coping skills as far as dealing with relationships, productivity, depression or whatever they’re going to be facing — the breakup of relationships, maybe catastrophic illness, diagnosis or even just getting over something. We take care of our dental health, yet we don’t take care of our mental health. You’ll go and get x-rays to find out that you don’t have any cavities, but why isn’t it a part of our regular curriculum just to sit down and talk to somebody? With all the crap that is going on in the world right now as we speak, and all the violence and craziness involving gun control, really, at the heart of it, it’s about mental health. Fanaticism, addiction, homelessness, productivity and healing are all connected to mental health and we’re really not addressing that. Anybody who does something crazy and violent, if you talk to the people who were around them their entire life, they’ll tell you that this was not the first time and that there were flags. But there isn’t anybody talking about it, there’s not anybody doing anything about it and there’s no place for them go and do something about it. That’s why I think it’s important for everyone, whether you have any condition like me or anything, to just talk about it and make it open. Whether you’re

in a corporate position or not, you can tell people, “Hey, I’m going to the dentist”, but you can’t say, “I’m not feeling great, I’m going to the psychiatrist”, and that’s the sin. You have performed in Ottawa several times throughout your career. What is your favourite thing about Ottawa when you visit the city? I love Ottawa. You know, Ottawa has had a lot of firsts for me. One of my first paid gigs was at a club called Andy & Flo’s and I had to do two 45-minute sets so I had two shows. When I got hired there, I only had 45 minutes worth of material. I remember doing my 45-minute show and then asking them what time the next show was, and they told me it was in an hour, so I had to do the exact same material. They didn’t even switch audiences, it was just a bar and there were two shows, so I learned to improv in Ottawa. Then, for my first big show, I was the opening act for José Feliciano at the National Arts Centre. How do you prepare for a show before you hit the stage? Any pre-show rituals? No, I just show up. I don’t give a lot of thought to anything and one of my mental health issues is that I overthink, so I always look to be distracted. That kind of fear and unpreparedness has actually worked and given me a career. When I started at Yuk Yuk’s, I used to be so nervous at the start of a show that I couldn’t even eat all day until I got on stage. But when you get three nights in a row that you’re working, you can’t not eat for three days. I just try not to think about anything, and just go on and be terrified. My analogy is that of a roller coaster — I love thrill rides, and the scarier, the higher and the more dangerous a ride seems, the more thrilling it is. That’s what live performing is for me. What is one thing that people would be surprised to learn about you? I’m so much better looking in person! (Laughs) What do you like to do with your spare time, if you have any? I don’t like having spare time, and I’m constantly working. Working is a weird term because I don’t think of what I do as a job. I go to a show,
then I’ll go to a meeting and I’ll drop in on a comedy club, or I’ll think of something funny to say and write it down. There’s nothing I do that really seems like a job. I’m not good with down time. I’m busy doing 20 things a day, whether I’m doing an interview for FACES Magazine, going to go drop in on the set of a pilot we’re shooting for my production company, or writing comedy - I’m always doing something and I’ve got to keep busy. It’s pretty rare for someone with your celebrity status to remain with your high school sweetheart through Hollywood. What’s the secret to making your relationship such a success? She would say that being away from when I’m on the road 200 days a year makes it easier to live with me. I feel like I’ve been really lucky in finding the right one. I also think I’m really tough to spend time with (laughs) because there’s always something going on with me. When I’m at home, the TV’s always on, my laptop’s always open, YouTube’s always playing… when I’m away, at least she gets some peace and quiet. You were born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, a Canadian through and through. How do you feel that being from Canada has affected your career, if at all? I always resent that fact that I left and that I had to leave. I would have loved to do everything that I’m doing and remained in a ten-mile radius of where I grew up. With that being said, there are always more opportunities outside of home. I was just up there a week ago because I would love to do a show in Canada. My hope and my dream is to come back and promote Canada and to do a show in Canada that is seen throughout the world. I would like us to have the same status. If you think about it, per capita, the amount of big names who were incredibly successful in all walks of show-business, from directing to writing to acting to singing, are sizably Canadian. We know they’re Canadian, but I don’t think the world really reflects on that. My goal is to kind of put Canada on the map, to do something with Canadians in Canada that becomes an international success. @howiemandel

It’s funny how listening to certain bands, albums or songs can almost transport us to different moments in time. I’ll never forget stealing my brother’s yellow Walkman and listening to Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite for Destruction for the first time. Or Christmas morning ‘95 when I got my first CD – Red Hot Chili Peppers’ One Hot Minute. I’ll also never forget the first time I heard Billy Talent’s self-titled debut studio album. That’s because I had to replace the CD within a few months due to overuse. Billy Talent was recently at the Amnesia Rockfest in Montebello, QC. Their new album, Afraid of Heights, was released July 29th, and rocks just as hard as their self-titled album did 13 years ago. FACES connected with Billy Talent frontman, Ben Kowalewicz, to talk about the band, the new album and much more.
BILLY TALENT I think friends, family and community are the most important things in life
When did you get that ‘a-ha’ moment that you realized you wanted to be a musician? When I was about 12 or 13 years old in Montre- al, one of my best buddies’ parents forced him to play piano every day when we were growing up. He would complain all the time because he wanted to go outside and do anything but play piano. But I was always in awe of his ability to play. He had a friend who played drums, and we would go to his place to listen to music. I remember listening to Ziggy Stardust and that friend, his name was also Ben, would just play along! It was amazing to me that they could do that. From there, I dedicated myself to going to Ben’s place until I could play Ziggy Stardust on drums. The first a-ha moment, outside of wanting to learn an instrument, was seeing Rage Against the Machine in a small club in Toronto. I was about 15 at the time. I was already in a band, but experiencing that raw energy and emotion was a really moving moment for me. The band first formed in the early ‘90s as Pezz. Tell us what that period was like before changing the name to Billy Talent and releasing your first album under Warner Music Canada. It was the best! I loved every second of it. Although it was adversity, we learned so much throughout that process—as individuals and a working unit. We didn’t have a manager, and we didn’t have anyone helping us. We would record in Ian’s basement. He would do the artwork, we would get it pressed and I would book shows. Everything this horrible, terrible industry has be- come wasn’t there for us. We didn’t get signed

until our late 20s, so we really learned a lot during that time. Those groom- ing years, if you will, ended up becoming formative for us in a lot of different ways. I wouldn’t trade that for anything. With the release of your debut and self-titled album, Billy Talent, came huge success. Describe the transition from playing smaller shows in the GTA to headlining arenas and festivals. It was insane! It wasn’t real; it was fake. We were caught in constant awe. We would be playing a gig, turn and look at each other on stage and just be like,“Are you seeing this?!” Honestly, it was that quick. We went from begging our friends to come on a January night to The Horseshoe for 30-minute set, to playing in front of thousands of people. We were not prepared for it, but that helped make us appreciate everything. We were so grateful for our fans, Because we are no different from them – we are them. We had spent 99% of lives on the other side of the stage and understand and appreciate how great and mov- ing the experience can be. We don’t take that lightly. There’s not a moment when I’m on stage where I’m not thankful. The video for “Viking Death March” is amazing. 100,000 fans rocking out to the band’s first release from Dead Silence. What was that experience like – seeing so many people singing along when the track had been released just days before the performance. I still marvel at that one. We actually did that festival about a month ago, but it was just as magical. I still take the same approach to walking on stage with 20 kids as I do at an event like that one. I go out there to put on a great show and per-

formance. But to have that much energy coming back at you at once is moving; it’s transcending and spiritual. It’s almost like explaining love or faith, but it changes you as a person and makes you believe in the power of human beings. When everyone is sharing the same moment at the same time it’s spellbinding. Your fifth studio album, Afraid of Heights, seems like a return to original Billy Talent. The sound reminds me a lot of your first studio album, but with a modern focus on global issues. Describe the process of putting the album together. I feel the same way you do in that it’s a return to form. As a band, you go through cycles. Pearl Jam is one of my favourite bands and Eddie Vedder is one of my favourite people on Earth and I’ve watched their career and see a lot of parallels. They had tremendous success in the beginning, albeit quadruple the success we ever had, but as they progressed they’ve had good records that didn’t have commercial success.They just kept going and, recently, released an amazing record in Lightning Bolt that has caused resurgence in the band. I feel like our new album is like that for us. It feels right. It’s where we’re at as people and a band. Things are pretty pedestrian, homogenized and safe in the rock world right now. And I feel this record is a big, good, old-fashioned, turn-it-uploud and rock out album.
One of the tracks from Billy Talent is called “This is How it Goes”, which is about Aaron Solowoniuk’s battle with MS. He has created a charity organization called F.U.M.S. What’s the organization about and how can fans get involved? Aaron is doing everything in his power to get behind the kit. He has an army of people and love behind him that are trying with the same goal. He’s staying positive and remaining optimistic, which is great. F.UM.S. is a charity that Aaron started and we have been helping with. It helps families dealing with MS, regardless of the relationship or person in the family with MS. For example, we give kids scholarships to go to school and follow their dreams. Just because you have MS doesn’t mean you can’t do what you want to do, and be the person you want to be. Aaron is a wonderful man and it’s a wonderful charity. For anyone who wants more information, they can go to any Billy Talent site or just type it into the Google machine. You were recently in Montobello at Amnesia Rockfest. How was the gig? It was awesome! I had a great time. I’m a big music fan and went to see The Dirty Nails, Against Me, NOFX, Sum 41, Blink 182, etc. Plus, I got to hang with some friends, which is great. We played really well and the fans lost their minds, they were awesome.
Having been to Ottawa before, do you have any favourite spots to visit? I have a lot of friends who have moved there over the years. My stepbrother lives there as well. I have nothing but good times and good memories from playing in small clubs to bigger festivals there. We’ve played in Tulipfest and Bluesfest before, and I’ve got nothing but fond memories of Ottawa. What’s something most people would be surprised to learn about you or the band? I love my wife and my dog, the outdoors, nature and quiet. I’m at farm right now. I think some people project this stereotype of musicians, and I am not that stereotype. I think friends, family and community are the most important things in life. I also love wine; I’m a big wine guy. Long tours can often drain a band both on and off stage. How does the band keep things fun on the road? I think it comes in many different ways. I think perspective is the most important thing. Morale is also important. Touring can be arduous at times because you are away from family and friends. But it’s the best lifestyle in the whole world. Television shows, movies, good books and, of course, wine also help (laughs)! @billytalentband

What was the very first instrument you learned to play? What attracted you to this instrument? The guitar…and it was because my dad played it quite a bit. Everyone wants to be like his or her dad, especially at a young age. Both my parents taught me, so it really stemmed from there. Growing up, who were some of the most influential artists in your opinion? What about nowadays? Michael Jackson, James Brown, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, NWA, Public Enemy - those were my earliest influences I suppose. What is one of your most memorable performances? We opened up for The Rolling Stones in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Just to be alongside that name and to be able to meet those guys, was amazing. What was really memorable was seeing our names on flyers around the city beside their name. Growing up, I never thought I would see that. Do you have any pre-performance rituals? Before going on stage, I like to get some some peace and quiet… to be alone a little bit and reflect on the journey I took to get here. Think about all of the people who believed in me, all of the ups and downs. Then, we get together as a band to joke around and make fun of each other, so that we don’t take ourselves too seriously. After that, we get on stage and have a good time. What are your thoughts on coming to Ottawa for Bluesfest and what can fans expect from the show? Well, every time we go to Ottawa, we have a great time. It’s really beautiful. As far as what people can expect, we do our best to connect with everyone and make it feel like we’re all there to celebrate music together, rather than just us being on stage and everyone else being behind some sort of ‘barrier’. I’d like to breach that gap and make us all one. In 2009, Red Bull Records approached you and let you use their recording studio for free. How do you think that helped your music? At that time, I was recording as a way for song ideas to come to me, and I was doing that at a couple other studios. When Red Bull Records offered me the use of their epic studio in Santa Monica, with no strings attached and no fee, I knew it was a great opportunity for me. I was broke and couldn’t afford a studio like that. The in-house engineer at their studio was also the guy who recorded songs from my older hard-core band ten years ago. It was so random, and it felt like it was meant to be. He actually still engineers all of the stuff I do now. Being a talented artist is obviously challenging and time consuming. How often would you say you practice playing and working in the studio? What do you like to do with your spare time? It’s all kind of intertwined. A lot of the time, even though I’m not in the studio, I’m either writing or working on a song idea to hopefully perfect it later. I got a new dog, that’s been the most time-consuming thing recently. That’ll be a big part of my spare time coming up. Honestly, surfing, music and family are the things I care about the most. You guys are touring all over North America this summer, what are some of your favourite and least favourite things about spending so much time on the road? Well the tour starts in August but my favourite thing about being on tour is that you get to play music with your buddies. People actually come to the shows and I remember what it was like when I was in other bands and we were lucky if 40 people came and showed up. Now, it’s really nice to see a line wrapped around the building to get in. It feels like there’s actually a sense of
16 | August 2016
purpose in the songs we do. That’s one of the best things about it, plus travelling and being in a new city all of the time. Of course the worst is just missing your family, friends and your home because you love being at home. Being a pretty passionate surfer, I miss a lot of good swell. My buddies back home like to rub that in all the time. What’s next for Awolnation? We’re actually releasing a new single, which is a different version of a song off our latest album. ‘Beautiful Things’ is going to come out soon too. We’re also working on a new record. But for the near future we are touring with Prophets of Rage until the fall. Eventually, I’ll get in to do record #3 and see where it takes me. What is one thing that most fans would know about you? I’m 80% deaf in my left ear. It isn’t really a big deal for me but it is something that people find interesting. What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given in your career? My drummer, Isaac Carpenter, always told me to never take myself too seriously and none of us really should. We’re playing music and the word “playing” is in it, so it’s supposed to be light-hearted, but I know music can be life saving and changing for a lot of people. It has been for me. Music has always helped to make me feel better, given me certain kinds of confidence or just been a great friend to me. Having said that, you never want to let that get to your head too much, so we’re constantly reminding ourselves of that. I don’t know if that’s advice, but I would say that that’s the best reminder for me all of the time. Having been to Ottawa a few times already, what are some of your favourite things to do in the city? I’m always checking out the best food options. I’m a pescatarian, but when I’m not eating fish, which is most of the time, I eat vegan. I try to find raw food options. More importantly, people are so friendly in Ottawa. I’m looking forward to meeting not only our fans, but also the local folks that just walk around. That’s another thing I like about being on the road. Learning things about other people; what makes them tick, what brings them happiness, what makes them feel sad. Seeing the joy of daily life. I love finding what that’s like for each particular city.
AWOLNATION
The men behind the hit song ‘Sail’, among many others, these incredibly talented artists released their first debut album in 2011 and saw tremendous success. Last year was a big year for the band, with the release of their second album ‘Run’. They also brought their catchy, alternative-electronic rock sound to the soundtrack of Fifty Shades of Grey, where they covered ‘I’m on Fire’ for the movie. Awolnation had an amazing performance at Bluesfest last month, and FACES Magazine had a chance to speak with lead singer Aaron Bruno, to discuss their success as band and their trip to the Capital. @awolnation

A GUIDE TO THE BEER GLASS
I NT GLASS
Each beer has its own unique blend of aromas, colours and flavours that are ready to enjoy. But wait—do you have the right glass? Check out our guide to glassware to be sure. After all, your beer only deserves the best. THE PINT GLASS Use for: Light Lagers, American Ales.
HE P
The ‘basic model’ of beer glass, but not the best for beer at all. Your grip warms the beer too quickly, and the wideness of the cup lets all of the aromas and gases escape.
T
THE MUG
THE MUG Use for: American or English Ales, German or American Lagers.
P I LSNE
R
Thick glass and a sturdy handle help to minimize heat transfer and keep the beer cool. This mug is designed for durability.
PILSNER Use for: Lager, Bock or Pilsner. Best for bubbly beers, the main function of this glass is to show the colour and carbonation of the drink.
TULIP
This German glass is designed to keep the sediment found in wheat beers at the bottom while maintaining a good head.
WEISNER
WEIZER Use for: Wheat Beers
TULIP Use for: Strong Ales The lip of this glass helps to capture head, and the wider bottom keeps in the aroma of stronger beers.
SNI FTER
SNIFTER Use for: Strong or Sweet Beers, India Pale Ale The wide bowl of the snifter works the best for keeping in aromas. The closed lip allows you to swirl the beer around to release more of the aroma while looking extremely classy.
50 | August 2016
ET
Most goblets are scored at the bottom, which helps to keep the beer bubbly. The goblet holds less, and is for stronger beers that you don’t drink quickly.
GOBL
GOBLET Use for: Belgian ales, German doppelbocks and other strong beers.

WHY DO WE YAWN? There are many theories on this, one being that, a yawn brings a large amount of oxygen into the blood stream when there is an excess of carbon dioxide in our blood. Another theory is that we yawn to cool the temperate of our brains.
WHY IS A YAWN CONTAGIOUS? There is no scientific reason, but one of the most common beliefs is that contagious yawning occurs due to empathy. Therefore, when
 we see someone else yawning, we want to feel that same satisfaction of having a deep, muscle stretching breath!
WHY DO ANIMALS YAWN? Yawning among animals often serves as a warning signal, or as a way of threatening other animals. Dogs and cats sometimes experience contagious yawning after seeing a human yawn. Fish yawn in order to increase their oxygen levels.
WHY DO WE COVER OUR MOUTHS WHEN WE YAWN? In some cultures, an open mouth is believe to be a way that bad spirits enter the body and good ones escape, so covering your mouth is a way to prevent this. Of course, the transmission of any sickness has been a concern for years; so covering a yawn may also act to prevent this.
WHY
?
CAN YOU YAWN TOO MUCH? Actually, yes. Excessive yawning can be triggered by changes in your heart rate. When you are stressed or anxious, you may notice that you yawn more frequently. If you notice this happening when you are not under pressue, it may be a symptom of an underlying heart condition.

A GUIDE TO
EATING IN FRONT OF YOUR DATE YOUR READY FOR A BIG DATE AND A NIGHT ON THE TOWN. NO MATTER HOW MANY DATES YOU’VE BEEN ON, THE TRUE TEST OF COMFORT IS AT THE DINNER TABLE. DON’T BE AN AWKWARD EATER. HERE ARE FIVE TIPS TO HELP MAKE SUPPER GO SMOOTHLY.
1
2
Be smart when ordering your food. Make sure you stay away from foods that are rich with garlic and foods that are messy. Down the road, it may not matter, but for the first date, these are red flags.
Realize that ‘I’ll just have a salad’ is an old and played card. Don’t feel the urge to just order a salad because you think your affiliation to healthy food will impress the person you’re on a date with. The other person may become uncomfortable and thus will feel inclined to also order a salad if you do. A starter salad is perfectly okay, but consider ordering a real meal for the actual dinner.
3 Before you start chewing your food, ask your date a relevant question. Once they begin to speak, then you can dip in to your food. This will take some of the attention off you and you won’t have to worry about talking with food in your mouth. Never answer anything until your mouth is empty.
4
5
Try to avoid certain types of pasta. It’s very easy to splatter the sauce all over the table, your clothes or even your date’s clothes. If you’re at an Italian restaurant, which is why you’re considering ordering pasta, perhaps try pizza instead.
Bring yourself to your food. Do not stab a piece of chicken and lift it back towards your mouth. Lean over and meet it overtop of your plate. If you don’t, you risk a lot more than a messy lap.

POWERING THE REVOLUTION IN CANCER RESEARCH By: Shelley McLean
Ottawa is known as a cycling hub, but September 11th will witness one of the largest gatherings of cyclists streaming through the National Capital Region. For riders, it will be a day that has been months in the making – months of physical preparation and charitable advocacy. The result will be an epic cycling adventure called THE RIDE that will pave the way to find a cure for cancer. THE RIDE, Ottawa’s premier cycling event, will help power the revolution in cancer research. In the last 6 years, THE RIDE has raised over
$10-million for The Ottawa Hospital, making it the most successful single-day cancer fundraiser in Eastern Ontario. Cyclists who sign up for THE RIDE commit to raising $1,500, and choose from one of two routes that both begin at Tunney’s Pasture. One route is a 50km closed route looping the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway. The other is a 108km open route, which will travel right through the hub of Kanata North, then west through scenic rural areas of Carp and Dunrobin, ending at Wesley Clover Parks. Cyclists,
friends, family and supporters will gather at Tunney’s Pasture to cheer on riders and enjoy a delicious barbecue with entertainment featuring Lucky Ron. THE RIDE, powered by industry-leading homebuilder Mattamy Homes, is a perfect team building adventure for friends or a workplace. The event take places on September 11th, but there is still time to gather a team, establish a fundraising goal and help power the revolution in cancer research.
Knowing the funding our team is raising for cancer research could have a direct impact on a family member or a friend in the future is incredibly motivating. THE RIDE not only brings together employees but also encourages improved - Kevin O’Shea, President of Mattamy Homes Ottawa, is his team’s captain, and a strong supporter of health and wellness.
THE RIDE because the money stays local and supports resources in Ottawa.

FEATURED APP OF THE MONTH
If you were born in the 80s, 90s or even early 2000s, chances are, you’ve played some type of Pokémon game at least a few times. As time went by, we swapped our Gameboy’s for the great outdoors. But now Pokémon is back, in a way that we once could have only imagined! Pokémon Go has become exceptionally popular for people of all ages in all countries.
68 | August 2016
HOW DO YOU PLAY? The app takes the original game of Pokémon to the next level. When it was first created in 1996, Pokémon was a game that was based around the popular activity of bug catching. Players try to catch as many ‘pokémons’ as they can, each with their own powers and levels of strength. In the new app, players try to find pokémons that are placed randomly in their area. When an app user scans the room with their camera, if one is in their location, it will appear on the screen. Players have to try to catch the pokémon by swiping on their screen. From there, they can develop their collection of Pokémons, and use them to attack other ‘gyms’ of pokémons. HOW DOES IT WORK? This app uses geo-metrics, and is one of the first augmented reality games to hit the mainstream. Pokémons are dispersed to random locations preset by the app developers. You may have played as Ash Ketchum on a Gameboy in the past but now, you get to be your own trainer, trying to capture pokémons in your very own neighbourhood. Check out this game on the app store and you’ll see what all the hype is about! Warning: While playing the game, be cautious of vehicles. We promise, you don’t know how addictive this game is until you try it.

FATHER FREES HIMSELF FOR HIS NEWBORN SON After repeated attempts to quit, a young father was at his ‘wits end’. Aaron and his wife just had a new son. Aaron’s love for his son was boundless—but so was his desire to smoke. His wife was very anti-tobacco and the pressure to stop smoking was tremendous with hints that baby time would be limited if this was not accomplished. He had broken several ribs in a tobacco induced coughing fit. His health was suffering seriously. He did all the right things by creating a recovery plan complete with danger zones and triggers. He put a basic support system in place, especially at his workplace.
The only constant was relapse. One session I asked him to stay a little longer just to talk ‘one on one’. It was clear his son was the light of his life. So, I suggested that he bring in two pictures for the next session. One of himself at the age he started smoking and one of his much-loved child. We glued the pictures on the front and back of his last cigarette package and then filled the pack with straws. A week later he reported that he had not had a smoke since the previous Sunday. It was tough, but he found success.
Each and every time my mind told me that a cigarette was what I needed to be happy, I would pull out the pack, look at my son and myself as a child and the desire to smoke would leave immediately.

Why You Should Skip the TreadmilL
and Hit the Beach
Running on the beach is not only a scenic workout—these surprising benefits of running on sand make a beach workout too good to be true.
IT LIMITS STRAIN Sand is much softer and absorbent then other surfaces, therefore, there is less negative impact on the lower portion of your body. Often when people are frequent runners on concrete, shin splints can become apparent, or other wear and tear issues. IT BURNS MORE CALORIES As sand shifts when you push off the ground, you use more effort. Using our stabilizer muscles takes up more energy, causing us to shed more calories. A WHOLE NEW WORKOUT Variety is key to stimulation. When hitting plateaus in your training, switching up routines is always a great way to push past those walls and break into new strides. Running on sand is difficult, but can help you produce new results in your training.

YOU USE NEW MUSCLES Because sand is not the flat, firm surface you are used to running on, you are forced to use stabilizer muscles that are not usually worked when running on concrete or grass. This helps build up strength in joints and supporting muscles around the knees, ankles, hip, etc.

BENEFITS OF HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING (HIIT)
Doing HIIT for 15 minutes will burn more calories then running at a steady pace for 1 hour.
Due to exertion, you burn more calories recovering the 24 hours after the workout, in comparison to any other cardio training.
HIIT Increases your plyometrics, or in other words, explosiveness.
You don’t burn muscle, you burn fat: this is important for those who are dieting and want to keep the muscle while still leaning out.
Helps stimulate human growth hormones (HGH), which is directly responsible for slowing down aging.
Short and intense workouts help to keep a healthy heart, and increase circulation of blood. This boosts your endurance and improves cardio.

Thinking of Buying a Cottage? By: Jason Peyman While it may seem like winter is never going to end, soon the snow will be gone and summer will be upon us. For some, this will be the summer they finally decide to buy that dream cabin in the woods where they can relax and get away from everything. However, purchasing a cottage is different than buying a home in the city and there are often many issues to be aware of before making an offer. Here are just a few items to keep in mind when looking for a cottage. Well and Septic Most homes in urban areas are on city water and sewer so your biggest concern when buying is likely to be that the previous owner is up to date on paying these bills. On the other hand, most cottages will be on well and septic which brings about more questions. Is the water potable? Were proper permits obtained to install the well and septic? Are the well and septic sufficient to serve your needs? There should be numerous provisions in your offer, such as having an inspection done of the well and septic and asking for proper permits, to increase the likelihood you will not run into problems in the future. If you do not perform this due diligence in advance, there could be significant costs incurred in the future as repairing or replacing a well or septic system can be very expensive.
Access In more rural areas, it is common that you may have to travel over private roads in order to get to your cottage. Therefore, it is important to find out whether you have direct access to your cottage via public roads or if you are required to go on private property. If you do need to use someone else’s property in order to get to your cottage, you should have your lawyer check to ensure that you have a legal right registered on title to do so (this is called an easement). Without a legal easement, you could be deemed to be trespassing and, as a result, have no way to legally access your property. Building Restrictions Perhaps you find an ideal location and you intend to build your dream cottage on that land. Before committing to buy the property, you should research whether there are any restrictions on what can be built and where you can construct your cottage. For example, bylaws may restrict the type of dwelling that can be built or the property could be on a floodplain that limits where you can build. As a result, it is crucial to have a provision in your offer that makes it conditional on confirming you can
build the structure you want. Otherwise, you may have end up having a permanent campsite instead of a cottage. These are just some of the issues to consider when purchasing a cottage. To ensure you are properly informed, it is important to surround yourself with a team of professionals who can properly advise you. This would include a real estate agent and lawyer that have experience dealing with cottage properties.

Crown Patent & Waterfront Issues When you finally find that ideal spot on the water, you may start envisioning private cookouts on the beach or building a dock for your new boat. Unfortunately, there is a chance you may not own right up to the water’s edge. As a result, this could mean that you will not be the only one enjoying the water and that you will need permission from the appropriate authority before building a dock or boathouse. In some cases, there are Crown patents that could result in the government owning sixty-six feet of property from the water’s edge. Furthermore, the Crown patent may also include other reservations in favour of the government, such as rights to any minerals or timber on your property. As such, you should confirm the contents of the Crown patent so you are clear whether any rights are reserved and exactly what you are purchasing.

FACT #1
FACT#2
FACT#3
Energy drinks have dangerous amounts of caffeine in them.
Many brands of energy drinks actually have similar or lower caffeine levels than home-brewed coffee does. Despite what some people think, caffeine is a safe ingredient consumed by billions of people around the globe.
Energy drinks contain a chemical called taurine that is a stimulant.
Taurine is a very common ingredient in energy drinks. It’s actually an amino acid that is found naturally in humans and also in certain foods including seafood and poultry.
FACT VS. MYTH ENERGY DRINKS MYTH #4
Energy drinks allow you to focus and provide extra energy.
FACT #4
Energy drinks give you a boost of energy that lasts for a very short time period. This is because they’re loaded with caffeine and sugar. Once these wear off, you may have a harder time focusing.
76 | August 2016
MYTH #5
Energy drinks improve your athletic performance.
FACT#5
Despite seeing athletes drinking energy drinks in commercials, there’s actually little to no proof that supports this statement.
Nobody knows how much caffeine is in an energy drink.
Energy drinks (and their ingredients) are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission controls the advertising for these products too. However, some may not state the proper amount on their label.
MYTH #6
An energy drink is equivalent to 8 cups of coffee.
FACT#6
Ounce-per-ounce, coffee has more milligrams of caffeine than the average energy drink. Energy drinks are loaded with a lot more sugar, amino acids, and artificial flavours (among other bad things). They also appeal to a younger group who are more susceptible to caffeine’s effects.
