Losing a legend MORE THAN A JINGLE:

Tony Antonias, a former Citizen of the Year and Bernie Legge Cultural Award winner, died on Jan. 25.

He was 89. Some of the people Tony touched during his remarkable life, which included writing the famed Woodward’s $1.49 Day jingle, reflect on what he meant to New Westminster. See articles on pages 8 and 13.

HOUSING

City the first to apply new B.C. zoning Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster is the first city in British Columbia to apply new rental residential tenure zoning to existing rental housing stock – much to the delight of tenants’ advocates and the disappointment of the development community.

Following a public hearing Monday night, council approved a zoning amendment bylaw that

would add site-specific rental tenure restrictions to specific properties in the city. In addition to 12 city-owned properties that could be used for future municipal housing projects, the bylaw applies to six existing stratified buildings that have operated as rental buildings: 214 Agnes St.; 211 11th St.; 215 10th St.; 514 13th St.; 425 12th St.; and 723 12th St. “Bylaw 8078 responds to the current housing crisis and the cur-

rent renovictions crisis,” said Emilie Adin, the city’s director of development services. “The situation is that the moratorium on strata conversions cannot protect rental tenure in stratified buildings.The residential rental tenure zoning is the only city-led initiative that can be undertaken to protect rental tenure of the buildings, and housing agreements and restrictive covenants cannot be registered to title without the permission of

a landowner under current provincial authorities that have been granted to the City of New Westminster.”

In late 2018, the city learned that a building on Ninth Street that had operated as rental since 1977 was being marketed for sale as condo units.

Of the 23 people who spoke at Monday’s two-hour public hearing, nine voiced support for the bylaw and 14 urged the city to re-

ject the plan.

Supporters, including tenants in New Westminster buildings and representatives of the New Westminster Tenants Union, stressed the need for the retention of affordable rental units in New West.

They expressed concern about the difficulty tenants have finding affordable accommodations if they’re renovicted or displaced from their homes in New West.

City Beat

Developers cry foul over zoning Continued from page 1 Ann Howboldt, who rents an apartment in New Westminster, said the city could lose rental units in these buildings if the current owners decided to sell, which would result in more people on the street.

“New West is doing great things in this province.The whole province is watching.

I hope the whole country is watching because renters like me need protection.

Renters like my friends, my fellow employees, senior citizens, people on disability, we all need help,” she told council. “I think you guys are doing great. I think this bylaw is great. I am fully in support and thank you for putting in the effort.”

Representatives from property and development companies, Landlord BC and the Urban Development Institute were among those who voiced concerns about the city’s plan.

They questioned the legality of the city’s decision to downzone their properties, the way the city is applying the rental tenure zoning and the lack of consultation before adopting the bylaw.

Ally Jiwan, CEO of Redbrick Properties, said the city is unilaterally removing the rights of these property owners to have condominium tenure and not giving them anything in return. He said the rental tenure zoning should only be used as a

GEORDIE PLACE: The owners of this building on 12th Street want an exemption from new rental zoning. tool to encourage new rental housing supply – not as a penalty or preservation tool.

“I want to voice our extreme caution to using rental tenure zoning as you are proposing to use it.We think it’s very draconian move the way you are proposing to use it,” he told council.

“You must be careful not to

downzone property value and property rights.”

Dana Sair, who owns Geordie Place at 723 12th St. with her two siblings, said her family built the building almost 25 years ago with assets from the family business they’d sold and planned to use it for their retirements. Saying the re-

zoning could “decimate” their retirement savings, she appealed to the city to exempt the building from the rezoning.

“We have also paid thousands of dollars in higher taxes over the years, much more than if this was a purpose-built rental building,” she said. “It is not a build-

ing in danger of renoviction, which is understandably a major problem. Nothing will change the way it is run by simply imposing this zoning bylaw on it.We are not going to renovict anybody.We are not developers.”

Council unanimously supported the bylaw.

Coun. Patrick Johnstone said it would be “deadly” for him if council doesn’t approve this rezoning and the current owners decide to sell to people who have different ideas for the buildings and tenants are displaced.

“As an elected official I am tired of saying, ‘I can’t do anything to help you.’ I am not saying this is a perfect tool; I am saying this is one tool we have. I feel if I have an opportunity to protect those 250 people I am going to take it,” he said. “We all want certainty. I know the people who own these buildings want certainty and to me right now, the crisis for certainty is people who don’t have a place to live or are precariously living in a place where, if they are evicted, they will not be able to find another affordable place to live in this community. It’s their certainly that I am prioritizing right now with this decision.”

The adoption of this bylaw is a component of a larger rental housing revitalization initiative, which council endorsed on Jan. 14.

The city is holding an opportunity to be heard on Feb. 4 regarding proposed amendments to business regulations and licensing (rental units) bylaw to add new business licensing restrictions against renovictions.

IMMIGRATION

New Westminster eyes becoming a sanctuary city Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster will explore the idea of becoming a sanctuary city so people who are in “immigration limbo” can access services in the community without fear.

At Monday’s meeting, council supported a motion by Coun. Chinu Das to direct staff to do a report on the feasibility of making New Westminster a sanctuary city and to vet the report through the city’s multiculturalism advisory committee for discussion and review.While the city often considers inclusivity from the perspective of age, culture, disability and LGBTQ identity, Das said it’s not applied to immigration status.

“Where sanctuary cities are coming from is people who are in limbo in the immigration process, how are they treated in our city,” she said. “There is enough evidence out there to show us whether this is something that we can achieve or not, and how to move forward.”

According to Das,Toronto became a sanctuary city in 2013, followed by Hamilton (2014),Vancouver (2016), Montreal (2017) and Edmonton (2018), with cities like Regina, Saskatoon and Calgary considering the idea. Although Vancouver doesn’t call itself a sanctuary city and uses another name, she said it’s basically the same thing.

“There are a lot of people in our community living in fear,” Das said. “It’s that

People in limbo: Coun. Chinu Das has proposed New West become a sanctuary city. PHOTO RECORD FILES

fear that they are constantly in that we should address.”

Sanctuary cities are communities that welcome ref-

ugees and immigrants and allow people to access municipal services without fear of being deported.

“It could be a refugee claimant who arrives at the airport and claims refugee status but they are not give refugee status yet. In the meantime they are in limbo.

How are they accessing city services?” Das said.

“This is basically about how they are treated in our city through our city services, should there be any discrimination against them because their lack of status.

Some cities have adopted a don’t ask, don’t tell kind of thing.”

No One Is Illegal launched the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Campaign in Toronto in 2004, with the goal of ensuring residents without full legal status could access essential city services, including emergency services, social housing, food

banks, health care and education, without the fear of detention and deportation.

Through his involvement with the food bank, Coun.

Jaimie McEvoy has seen local families who would benefit from a sanctuary city.

He recalled trying to return immigration documents to a family who had left them at the food bank and the reluctance of the apartment’s occupants to open the door.

“I handed him his immigration documents. He was shaking when he saw me,” McEvoy recalled.

“The smile that broke onto to his face.Then people started jumping out.

People had been hiding in that apartment because they didn’t know in this country how authorities would react to that situation.”

For being the #1 REALTOR® out of over 80 sales people in 2018

Initiative is a step towards addressing calls to action on reconciliation as set out in recommendations of commission Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

In the spirit of reconciliation, the New Westminster school board has officially committed to implementing recommendations outlined by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Trustee Mark Gifford presented the motion at Tuesday night’s committee meeting, admitting an official motion was a few years late as the report was published in 2015.

Despite not having officially endorsed the report right away, the New Westminster school district has been supportive of initiatives that seek to address the calls to action laid out by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, according to Gifford.

The district’s Aboriginal Enhancement Agreement is one such initiative. It’s a five-year plan that outlines

OV E R

how the district will support the academic, social and cultural achievements of its Aboriginal students.

The most recent agreement, which is the third edition, was endorsed by the board this week.

It was developed in collaboration with the Aboriginal advisory committee and lays out six guiding principles: collaboration, engagement, equity, inclusion, innovation and integrity.The theme of the 2018-2023 agreement is reconciliation, and it aims to ensure staff, students and the community continue to learn about Aboriginal history, culture and perspectives.

“I thought in renewing our Aboriginal Enhancement Agreement this would be a good opportunity to do that,” Gifford said of his motion to implement the Truth and Reconciliation report.

Your dedicated service to homeowners in New Westminster has made you an obvious choice when seeking an agent. Congratulations!”

Earlier this month, investigators issued an appeal to the public asking for help identifying the driver of a white Cadillac CTS that was at the scene of a hitand-run on Dec. 29 at Sixth Avenue and Seventh Street near Royal City Centre.

Police released video taken by a transit bus dash cam.The video shows the pedestrian crossing Sixth Avenue at 10:39 p.m. and a white Cadillac turning left and striking her.

The driver pulls over and runs back to the pedestrian before flagging down another driver.

Opinion OUR VIEW

We need more than just outrage at spending scandal Not long ago, B.C’s Speaker of the legislature Darryl Plecas promised that he’d resign if the contents of a report into shenanigans at the clerk’s office didn’t make people want to vomit.

Fast-forward to last week when the bombshell report certainly made for a nausea-inducing glimpse into a culture of entitlement run amok.

A truckload of booze and a wood splitter delivered to a private home, trips abroad on the flimsiest of pretenses, gifts and clothes bought

on the public dime are among the damning details in the report.

Both Liberal and NDP politicians are now piling on with shock and outrage.

But these activities have apparently been going on under their noses for numerous years.

Politicians on the committee charged with oversight of the clerk’s office appear to have been clueless.

Speakers from the previous Liberal government have been mum, but the details revealed so far don’t paint

them in a flattering light.

As reporters covering the legislature have pointed out, MLAs on both sides of the house discouraged anyone from digging too deeply into the issue.

It’s instructive that it took an outsider – a Speaker who was a pariah in both Liberal and NDP circles – to point to such rampant entitlement gone wrong.

A culture of “don’t ask, don’t tell” was clearly flourishing in the halls of power.

The good news is that Premier John Horgan looks

like he’s not going to just stop at being outraged.

He’s pledging now to reform access to information laws.

Horgan said that the Freedom of Information and Privacy Protection Act (FOIPPA) should be amended to lift the veil of secrecy around legislature spending.That would include adding public scrutiny for senior legislative officers such as the two currently facing allegations of excessive spending. Horgan said he would be meet-

ing with Attorney General David Eby to carve out protections for whistleblowers to keep them safe when revealing concerns about government.

FOIPPA currently does not define the legislature as a public body, thereby exempting it from freedom of information requests from the public. Few legislatures in Canada or elsewhere have such openness.

“I see an opportunity,” Horgan said.

For his part, BC Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson

said changes to FOIPPA would be welcome but not as effective as posting expenses immediately.

Any changes have support from B.C.’s Freedom of Information and Privacy Association, which said the lack of public scrutiny without FOIPPA coverage is a shortcoming of government transparency and accountability.

We agree.

It’s sad that it took a spending scandal to finally prompt action, but here we are.

MY VIEW LORI PAPPAJOHN

Remembering Tony Antonias They don’t make them like Tony Antonias anymore.

The man with the power, expertise and enthusiasm to put New Westminster events on the map died last week at the age of 89. He died from that ailment that lurks darkly in all of our futures – old age.

Tony was a force to be reckoned with. He loved music (especially Wagner), theatre, art – anything to do with culture. And he insinuated himself on just about every event in the city. He took on projects like a oneman promotional nuclear bomb. Literally – stand back.

Since he was a teenager, the Australian lived and breathed ads night and day.

When he moved to Canada, Tony was hired by CKNW, which was then located on Columbia Street – the most happening street in the Lower Mainland. (The ‘NW’ stands for New Westminster).Tony wrote ads and was such a sensation that within a year he was appointed copy chief.

The ace ad writer and producer was sought out by top companies across Canada wanting his catchy jingles.Tony won numerous awards and is most famous for his Woodward’s $1.49 Day jingle that ran for 37 years. (And who doesn’t remember the promotional slogan “My Daughter the President”?)

Being the top gun in charge of ads at CKNW, Tony had the luxury of promoting whatever event he wanted – for free.What other city could boast an award-winning legend of

a promoter who also loved the arts and controlled the free ad space on the province’s most listened-to radio station?

Tony delighted in asking his big-time clients to help with promotions. Eaton’s, The Bay, Bosa Development Corp and Segal Furniture were just a few of his clients who gladly donated to New Westminster events.

One call to a client garnered thousands of free Dare Maple Leaf cookies year after year for the Canada Day celebrations in Queen’s Park. Another call had the Vancouver Symphony performing for free twice for a Seniors’ Bureau fundraiser.

The Citizen of theYear loved his city. He fairly quivered with delight to help. But one warning – you never stood in his way.

Tony was the first to say either you were on his side or you’d better run.

All good things come to an end.Tony retired from CKNW in 1995 but was still writing ads for the Vancouver Symphony until a few years ago and for Cartwright Jewelers until last year.

He also continued his feverish promotion of local events. But life eventually catches up with us all.

Tony died in Royal Columbian Hospital 13 days after his birthday. He had lived a good life. And the Royal City’s many organizations have a huge thank you for his 60 years of enthusiastic service.

Historic trophy gets stolen The Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame was offering a $10,000 reward for the return of the second-oldest trophy in Canadian sports history in September.The Mann Cup was stolen by thieves who smashed an outside window at the hall of fame and stole the 1910 cup from its locked case.The New Westminster Salmonbellies had won the national title just a week earlier, but the team had hoisted a replica cup built to reduce security risks. Custodians of the valuable gold trophy feared it would be melted down for its gold content.The decision to offer the $10,000 reward was made at an emergency meeting of the hall of fame’s board of governors.

No reason to find trustee’s pay stance ‘offensive’ Editor: Re: Pay raise passes for school board trustees, Record, Jan. 17 I think it’s a real shame that (a) school board trustee found it “offensive” that Mary Lalji would suggest that they forgo pay raises this year in favour of funding student programs.

I’m not suggesting that the school trustees are paid too much or not enough - they have a hard job and should be compensated. The real shame is that they wouldn’t even consider how that money could otherwise be use before attacking Lalji for the suggestion.

It strikes me as an abuse of position to so vehemently put one’s own position first when your role is to serve the public.

In that respect, I think we are fortunate that the school board has the independent voice of Lalji, as it is otherwise dominated by the Team Cote slate.

Perhaps in the next election we can look at electing more independent trustees who may be open to considering alternative ideas and options for funding student programs.

Archive article brought back memories Editor: Re: Archive article entitled, “Councillors argue over condoms,” on Jan. 24 Record Opinion

page Thanks for the memories.

The staff of Purpose Society have been delivering services to the residents of New Westminster and other municipalities in the Lower Mainland for over 35 years.

Your archive article from 1994 noted the fact that Purpose was distributing condoms to sex trade workers.

The article was the perfect reminder that the Purpose Society has always provided necessary services to a wide variety of individuals – from working women, those suffering from addiction or mental illness, and children, youth and families who are facing challenges.

Over the years, the Purpose Society has grown and now employs 140 staff who work at nine sites providing child-care, after-school, and pre-natal programs and services to folks who are HIV positive, (plus) alcohol and drug programs and youth and family programs, as well as an independent school.

Purpose remains an organization where staff practise a client-centred approach to ensure people get the services they want and need where they are.

Staff have remained committed to providing excellent service and remaining open to ways to improve their practice.

And, yes, Purpose still distributes condoms to sex trade workers and anyone else who wants to protect themselves.

Your archive article sparked great reflections and a trip down memory lane for staff. Thank you.

New West mourns loss of ‘Mr. $1.49 Day’ radio business in his native Australia, and landed a job at CKNW in 1955 after moving to Canada. During his time at CKNW, Tributes are pouring in for a man who was a devoted booster of he served as its creative director for nearly four decades and wrote NewWestminster and a promoter hundreds of radio ads. of local arts and culture offerings.

local arts advocate often appeared before city council to spread the word about events happening in NewWestminster.

“Tony will be greatly missed in our community,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “His passion and love for the arts and his community shone through in everything he did.”

Antonias, who sat in the front row of council chambers for many years, was an avid council watcher and one of the city’s strongest advocates, not only for the arts community but for NewWestminster, Cote said.

“I still remember when I first got elected mayor,Tony requested a meeting with me because he wanted to help me speak. …

He wanted to make the point to me that many folks at home can’t hear me, I talk too fast, I’m not clear, I don’t enunciate my words.

his CKNW days and out came a bunch of radio scripts from jingles and ads that he’d written from CKNW. For the entire half-hour meeting, he had me practising these particular radio scripts until I could enunciate them slow enough and clear enough so that they could be read properly. … That one story resonates to me – it just shows the type of dedication that Tony Antonias gave to our council, gave to our community. He will be sorely missed.”

Candice James, who served as NewWestminster’s poet laureate from 2010 to 2016, said Antonias was instrumental in shaping the arts scene in NewWestminster and was present behind the scenes for many NewWestminster happenings, freely giving of his time to volunteer to help his community.

“I truly admired, respected and loved Tony Antonias and consider my life mightily enriched simply by his presence in it,” she said. “In

my humble opinion, the city will always be missing something without Tony Antonias in it. R.I.P., my friend … we will meet again!”

Janet Kvammen knew Antonias from his attendance at community events andWorld Poetry readings at the library.

“He would often read the work of some of his favourite poets, including Robert Service, Aussie Bush poet Banjo Paterson’s The Man from Snowy River and Longfellow’s Song of Hiawatha,” she recalled. “We loved meeting him when out for a walkabout. He always had a great story to share.

Tony was so much more than a ‘jingle man.’ I will always remember him for his kindness, and for his enthusiasm and passion for the arts.We will miss him.”

District addresses youth addiction service changes Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster school officials still have questions about a Fraser Health decision to cut a youth addiction outreach service without consulting the school district.

New West clients of Fraser Health’s Burnaby-based Youth Substance Use Outreach Services program found out earlier this month the program was being cut and the funding moved to Odyssey I, a youth outreach service in North Burnaby, and another external contractor in Coquitlam.

The change will mean the loss of a longtime youth addiction outreach worker, Marilyn Benning, who has been a “lifesaver” for youth in New West and Burnaby for about 20 years, according to clients and their families.

The move outraged them and caught school officials off-guard.

“We continue to communicate with Fraser Health

because we’ve heard concerns from our community,” New Westminster school district superintendent Karim Hachlaf said at Tuesday night’s school board meeting.

Since the school board’s Jan. 15 operations committee meeting, where about 35 people turned out to urge the board and district to oppose the change, Hachlaf said he has been in contact with Fraser Health to learn more about the restructuring and possible impacts on local students and their families.

Fraser Health told the Record the decision was made after the health authority got feedback from the Burnaby Child and Youth Mental Health Services Local Action Committee and the school districts, saying the duplication of youth addiction outreach services at Burnaby Youth Substance Use Outreach Services, Odyssey and SHARE Family and Community Services in the TriCities was confusing.

But Hachlaf said New Westminster “had never been part of any initial consultation when it came to the proposed changes.”

Fraser Health has since confirmed the New Westminster district was not consulted until after the decision.

“Since initiating changes to this service, we heard from the New Westminster school district that they needed more information about the change in service in order to better support their students,” spokesperson Tasleem Juma said in an emailed statement last week.

“We provided them with information both verbally and in writing, and will continue to support them through this change.”

The change in service was supposed to happen this week, but Fraser Health extended the transition period. Hachlaf confirmed Fraser Health has said that Benning will remain in her position until the end of February.

But, with a month left be-

Trustees supported the motion, adding that right now the focus is on students.

“We’re all concerned about whether in fact the experience of youth accessing this service is going to be the same, or will it feel quite different,” trustee Maya Russell said.

Juma said Fraser Health has “heard the concerns raised by the New Westminster school board and appreciates their commitment to working with us to support youth and families living in New Westminster.”

“They are an important partner and we will ensure closer collaboration with them when it comes to service changes that impact them and our mutual stakeholders,” Juma said.

Fraser Health is also working with NewWestminster MLA and Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Judy Darcy to connect with concerned residents.

Community FUNDRAISING

Teen lops locks to help children with cancer Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A presentation at school inspired a local teenager to help kids who are battling cancer.

After growing his hair for nearly two years, New West teen Miller Linke recently had his locks lopped off. He hopes his hair will be used to make a wig for someone with cancer.

“We had a speaker at our school. She was talking about her experience going through chemotherapy and cancer treatment.

At the end of it, she talked about what you can do and mentioned you can grow out your hair and donate it,” said Linke, a Grade 10 student at John Knox Christian High School. “I looked more into that – I was already growing my hair out at that time – and I decided I should donate it when it was long enough. I would

like to make someone going through a tough situation feel good.”

Along with donating his hair, Linke has also been collecting donations for BC Children’s Hospital and BC Cancer. He appreciates all the support he’s received for his fundraising campaign.

“I just went up to talk to people,” he said about his fundraising efforts. “I think

I am at just over $500.”

While Linke is enjoying his new look, he said it’s likely he’ll let it grow out again in the future for another fundraiser.

“It gets in the way a lot. It was very cool having it, but it’s kind of inconvenient,” he said. “But I will probably do it again. I will grow my hair out and do the same thing.”

CENTURY HOUSE

Laugh and learn at this year’s Inspiration Day Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Seniors in need of a little inspiration in their lives will want to catch an upcoming event in NewWestminster.

Inspiration Day returns to Century House on Saturday Feb. 9 from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.Tickets are $8 (a limited number are still available) and can be purchased at 604-519-1066.

The day’s fun includes presentations by Dr. DavidicusWong, inspirational activities, nutritious snacks and entertainment by Laughter Zone 101 comics.

A former psychiatric nurse, NewWest resident Janice Bannister’s current roles include being is a stand-up comic, motivational speaker, show producer and lead instructor at Laughter Zone 101, which offers stand-up comedy classes.

The Record recently checked in with Bannister about Inspiration Day and

her thoughts on aging.

What’s your role at Inspiration Day? I will be MCing and presenting four of the Laughter Zone 101 Boomer, Zoomer, Senior comedy troupe, as part of the Inspiration Day event. All of these comics have taken stand-up comedy through the Laughter Zone

Get out of the house and try new things 101 programs at Century House, SFU continuing studies, or through my regular local classes. New comics and not so new.

What inspires you?

I love sharing my personal funny stories and comedy material, and I love watching others work on their own authentic material and

then get a chance to share it on the stage in front of a live audience.The senior comics have their own unique stories that are relatable to our age group.

You’ve talked about something called the Wrinkle Revolution – what’s that about?

TheWrinkle Revolution is a keynote I presented at the last Seniors Festival, and recently for a group of new retirees. It addresses the way the age 55+ population is being depicted in media, advertising and programming in our communities.

As a baby boomer, I want us to be shown as a vibrant, fun loving, and an active exciting group of individuals. Not just a set of wrinkly hands – often that image is used to market to us.

Given your various roles as a psychiatric nurse, stand-up comedian, inspirational speak-

er, among others, do you have any words of wisdom regarding aging?

My “words of wisdom” to all of us as we age is, connect with people. Get out of the house and try new things especially in the arts.

Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, and don’t think because you have never sang, or played an instrument or can’t

memorize lines, that you don’t fit.The biggest laughs and connections I have enjoyed with my seniors’ programs is when someone “just does it” and we all get to share the fun. I have seen so many new friendships start in programs. And if you don’t think the group is what you want find another one.There is something out there for everyone.

I have seen people play an instrument for the first time.

Last Tuesday at my Arts for Brain Fitness class at SFU, it was music week, and everyone was told to bring an instrument.We had spoons, maracas, a pill bottle with beans in it... and a woman showed up with a beautiful ukulele in a case, but she had never played it. She said, “I’m afraid I won’t do it right,” but she played it that day along with everyone else playing their variety of instruments, and at the end of the class, she said, “I think I am ready to join a

Anything else you’d like to share with Record readers?

There are a lot of Boomers, Zoomers and seniors in NewWest and there are a lot of age-friendly initiatives, but if you are not seeing what you want, or you have a great idea, make it known. Also if you see marketing or depictions where you are poorly represented also let that company know.

Diagnosed with prostate cancer? They can help Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

If you’ve got questions or concerns about prostate cancer, you’re not alone.

Rene Andersen is a leader with the Prostate Cancer Burnaby Support Group, which meets every month at Burnaby Hospital.

Everybody has to go through their own journey Men who are dealing with prostate cancer can meet with others who have gone through it and have firsthand knowledge of what’s involved.

“I myself have been treated for prostate cancer and found a support group, the one I am now in,” Andersen said. “It provided me with answers that I did not, could not possibly expect, from a medical treatment.

The whole idea is we have time to spend with individuals who don’t have immediate answers in their treatment.”

Andersen said the health care system is set up in such a way that people are often treated for a disease or ailment and then quickly sent on their way.

“Everybody has to go through their own journey,” he said. “What we do is we provide assistance in the journey by giving them a direction for whatever side effects or whatever happens.

That’s the process.”

The Prostate Cancer Burnaby Support Group – which attracts resident from New Westminster, Burnaby and East Vancouver – is for anyone with prostate cancer, whether they’re experiencing shock from a prostate cancer diagnosis or having issues later in their journey with the disease.The meeting are held on the first Saturday of the month at Burnaby Hospital.

“There is no formality,”

Andersen said of the meetings. “We do have some guest speakers from time to time who come in and go over topics like nutrition and exercise, and these kinds of things.”

Andersen said he knew

“nothing about prostate cancer” when he was diagnosed in 2012, but has benefited greatly from the support group. Along with prostate cancer survivors and others who are newly diagnosed, spouses and

friends, as well as anyone wanting to learn more about prostate cancer and various treatments, are welcome to attend the meetings.

Meetings are free, but pay parking is in effect at the Burnaby Hospital.The

meetings are held on the first Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to noon at Burnaby Hospital, 3935 Kincaid St. More information is available at www.prostatecancer burnaby.org.

Deadline: March 4, 2019 Business in Vancouver and the Chartered Professional Accountants of BC have once again partnered to recognize and celebrate the top CFOs in British Columbia. Winning CFOs will be profiled in Business in Vancouver on May 8th and honoured at a gala dinner in June where each winner will share their leadership lessons to an audience of Vancouver’s business community.

PRESENTED BY:

As you ponder how you’ll stop working, you have to ask yourself: Are you retirement ready? It’s a particularly crucial question in British Columbia, where one-third of the population is nearing 50 and 17 per cent has already achieved senior status. With the help of leading experts, the BIV Retirement Ready panel discussion will investigate how and when to retire and how to embrace what should be the triumphant years of a longer life.

Business in Vancouver is once again recognizing BC’s most outstanding business women in private or public sector companies. Honourees have risen through the ranks to become senior executives or entrepreneurs. Through corporate board placements they help influence and shape policy at some of Canada’s largest companies. Winners will be profiled in the February 12th issue of Business in Vancouver.

Community EXPANSION PROJECT

Library gets set to shut down for renovations Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster Public Library will be closing temporarily so renovations can be completed at the main branch.

The library, located at 716 Sixth Ave., will be closed as of Feb. 24 at 5 p.m. for renovations.This final phase of renovations is expected to take five weeks, and the library will reopen on April 1.

“We’re happy to share that the renovations are nearly complete and will be finished ahead of schedule,” chief librarian Julie Spurrell said in a press release. “Due to the library closure, customers who check out any items after Feb. 4 can enjoy those items for 10 weeks.”

According to a press release from the city, the full closure of the library will allow for construction of the entranceway, the removal of hoarding walls, the instal-

lation of new shelving, furniture and equipment.This closure will allow the library renovations to be completed nearly two months ahead of schedule.

The $5.5-million renovation to the library, which was built in 1958, is intended to ensure the building meets the changing needs of the community and remains a welcoming space for readers, learners, creators and neighbours. The completed renovation will include a number of components, including a new technology lab, a new teen area, a new main-floor service desk, a new second floor meeting room, updated accessible washrooms, new electrical infrastructure, improved air circulation and distribution, new ceilings and refreshed interior finishes, new windows and new LED lighting.

“This renovation has been a huge undertaking, and we’re excited to see the

new features that will better serve the community,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “The library is more than a place to check out books; it’s a place to exchange ideas and for the community to gather, where neighbours can meet face to face.”

During the closure of the main branch, the Queensborough branch library will remain open and offer books, DVDs, music, children’s materials, internet stations and Chromebooks.

The library’s e-collections and other digital resources will remain available 24/7.

The renovations started in December 2017 and were expected to be finished this summer. Prior to the renovation, the library was the second most-used public facility in New Westminster, with only the Canada Games Pool having more annual visitors.

The library’s main branch previously closed for a week in August 2018, in prepara-

Community No more ‘boys will be boys’ Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

It starts when they’re still in the womb. From baby rooms decorated in 50 shades of blue to toy boxes topped up with footballs and firetrucks – as soon as the presence of aY chromosome becomes apparent, many parents begin their prep based on preconceived assumptions about the gender of their soon-to-be-born male child.

But it’s not just the dudecentric decor that has today’s parents squirming, it’s the societal expectations that have been tagged on to the traditionally masculine behaviours that have some of us rethinking our approach to parenting our boys.

It’s shrugging off aggressive behaviours with the “boys will be boys” copout, the “man up” mentality that discourages boys from showing any emotion and the superiority complex that stems from the old-school ways of thinking that are giving us the biggest cause for concern.

Today, however, a slowbut-steady shift seems to be happening.We’re starting to recognize the detrimen-

tal effects that the expectations of “traditional” masculinity are having on our boys and men.

Gillette, best known for their “The Best A Man Can Get” slogan paired with tough-man imagery used to depict the well-shaved dudes who use their products, has finally adjusted their messaging – and they’ve definitely gotten our attention.

In their recently released ad, Gillette flips the script, asking, “Is this the best a man can get?”Through tear-jerking imagery, such as a boy being bullied and crying in the arms of his mother, or men stepping in to break up a fight or shut down cat-calls, Gillette asks men to not only change the way they behave, but to remember who is watching and mimicking those behaviours.Within two days of its release, the video received over six million views (and now sits at over 27 million views onYouTube), and it’s not only going viral because of great marketing.

At the end of 2018, a new APA Guidelines for Psychological Practice Around Boys and Men report was released, revealing the harmful effects of the traditional masculinity ideology – which, according

to the APA, includes “antifemininity, achievement, eschewal of the appearance of weakness, and adventure, risk, and violence” – all which can be psychologically harmful to men and boys.

The report shares the findings that, “Socialization for conforming to traditional masculinity ideology has been shown to limit males’ psychological development, constrain their behavior, result in gender role strain and gender role conflict, and negatively influence mental health and physical health,” linking “constricted notions of masculinity” to aggression, homophobia and misogyny.Traditional masculinity goes far beyond the girl/boy, pink/blue gender biases – it’s the associated old-school mindset that has become truly toxic.

It’s time for us as parents to make a change – not only to teach our boys to treat others with respect, refrain from violence and set a good example for those who are watching and learning from their actions, but to hold themselves and their friends accountable for their actions – to be the best boys and men that they can be.

Students earn kindness grant A group of NewWestminster Secondary School students helped the school become the first recipient of a Shaw Kindness Sticks grant worth $5,000.

Simran Grewal and Kate Choi founded the school’s Best Buddies club two years ago to help students with special needs feel more connected to other students at

the high school, according to a school district press release.

To bring students together, Grewal and Choi created a space in the school that appealed to all students.

The goal of the games room is to “bring students together to have fun in a way that encourages inclusivity and acceptance,” noted the re-

lease.

In hopes of expanding the games room, the students applied for a Shaw Kindness Sticks grant and last year they were gifted $5,000 to buy new technology, furnishings and games, including Operation, Sorry and Super Mario Party, to improve their games room.

Now that it’s legal to grow up to four marijuana plants for personal use, do I need to be concerned about disclosing this to a buyer when I decide to sell?

A

There are serious concerns around this issue. The question on the Property Disclosure Statement Park Georgia Realty attached to your listing and provided to your future buyer asks ‘Are you aware if the premises has been used to grow marijuana (other than as permitted by law) or to manufacture illegal substances’? Don’t be misled that it’s ok to grow your weed. The position the lenders will take on your plants is still very much up in the air. Should it be discovered that your privacy hedge in your back yard is cannabis, they may very well decide not to lend against your home and property. That includes your future buyer’s bank! Please do not grow marijuana in or on your property! The repercussions are tremendous and will last much longer than the buzz.

We’ve been struggling to conceive and are now doing IVF, is there anything ‘natural’ that can help?

Great question! Studies show that up to 80% of patients undergoing IVF use some form of complementary and alternative DR. STEPHANIE PELTZ, ND medicine (CAM). This might include working with nutrition, lifestyle, nutrients, herbs, and/or bodywork. Some reproductive endocrinologists are even giving CAM advice themselves (i.e. for vitamin D or CoQ10).

Naturopathic medicine is very effective to support IVF patients.

However, it is important to seek out a licensed professional who has expertise in complementing assisted reproductive technologies. I do not recommend self-prescribing from the health-food store or the internet. Also please disclose anything you try to your MD. One of my favourite complements to IVF includes acupuncture. There has been ongoing research to show it provides support for patients, decreases stress, and improves chances of pregnancy and delivering a healthy baby, which is all my IVF patients want!

What are they?

This season we are featuring cocktails designed by award winning mixologist Christos Kalaitzis. Our feature product is Queensborough Gin. It is a premium hand-crafted Gin that exhibits some citrus notes, with a clear taste of pine, rosemary, jasmine & cassia.

Our weekend brunch menu has been procured by award winning Chef Thien Vuong and features a modern twist of traditional savoury brunch items including a variety of Hasbowls, Eggs Benedict’s and Omelettes. We also have our daily special menu and our kids menu featuring traditional favourites.

2. What are the house specialties? How did you go about selecting these specialty dishes?

Being an award winning Chef from a 5 – Star Hotel, you know a thing or two about good food and what it takes to elevate the taste buds. We’ve taken traditional pub fare and gourmet entrees to a whole new level! It’s our care into the little things, for example, all of our sauces, marinades & dressings that are made from scratch in house. Once it’s combined with quality fresh products and award winning recipes then you got some house specialties! Some of our favourites are the Brick Chicken, Lamb Shank, Chilli Fried Squid and Free Range Chicken Wings.

3. What makes your regular customers keep coming back?

Frankie G’s is not your traditional pub, we are a Gastropub elevating the pub

4. Describe a memorable meal at your restaurant.

We are proud of our high quality menus items served at Frankie G’s, but it’s not the amazing taste that will make it memorable, it’s the atmosphere that we create. Whether it’s meeting for beers, watching the game, having an intimate dinner, cocktails on the patio, or brunch with family it’s the experience and customer service provided that will make it special.

5. What’s your underlying philosophy in operating your restaurant?

If you build it, they will come. If you provide an amazing experience, they will stay! Frankie G’s has been in business for over 20 years and we’ve learned that we needed to grow with our customers. We’ve undergone extensive building renovations and rebranded as a “Gastropub” that features an updated menu including fresh quality products and organic meats.

6. What lesson did you learn early on that you continue to use today?

In the service industry, I’ve learned that you must always be open to feedback from customers and to change and evolve with our clientele. We are constantly researching new ideas for our menu and new events to keep the experience fresh.

Community Love cookbooks? You’ll want to check this out Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Whether you have a favourite cookbook you’d like to share with others or are in need of some new recipes to try at home, the New West Cookbookery may be just what you need.

A cookbook lending library – the New West Cookbookery – is open for business at River Market.

Cookbookery members can place their own cookbooks in the library so they can be loaned out to other community members or they can borrow books without contributing any of their own to the collection.

“It’s meant to be your cookbooks – ones you would like to share with the community. It’s not meant to be a get-rid-of-yourcookbooks here library,” said New West resident Alice Cavanagh. “It’s meant to be a, ‘Hey, I really love this cookbook, here are some great recipes in it, but I’m not really using it right now, maybe somebody else might

enjoy it.’”

Local residents Jen Arbo and Erin Jeffery were swapping cookbooks, and approached Cavanagh about expanding the concept to the community. River Market has provided a cupboard and storage for the Cookbookery in a space near Great Wall Tea. “It’s ready to go,” said Cavanagh, office manager at River Market. “People sign up online to become a member of the library.

When they sign up, they get an access code for the lock.

They can open the lock and check out the books, so it’s self-serve.”

Once people sign up to become members of the Cookbookery, they can borrow up to three books for a month, and can check them out again if no one else has placed a hold for those books. Currently, there is no membership fee.

As someone who cooks a family meal almost daily, Cavanagh said she is always looking for new cookbooks to try out. She’s tried

out a couple of recipes from a chicken cookbook in the lending library and plans to check out the Suzie’s Sourdough Circus cookbook.

The library is open to taking donations of recent food-focused books that are in excellent condition.

Current offerings include: BCTV Cookbook – Someone’s in the Kitchen with Tony Parsons: 120 Recipes from B.C.s’ Best Known TV Chefs and Celebrities; Italian Cooking School:Vegetables; and Nigella Bites.

“We have a range of speciality items.We have a cookbook that’s The Tofu Cookbook, which is all about tofu.Then we have great community cookbooks like In the Kitchen with Tony Parsons, which is a very community-based kind of cookbook.We have three Company’s Coming cookbooks,” Cavanagh said.

“We would love to see the stock get built up. I think we would love to see 50 to 100 books in there.”

People can donate books to the Cookbookery per-

manently, and they become part of its permanent collection, or for a while if they’re not currently using them.

While the Cookbookery is only for food- and beverage-focused books, it’s possible other bookeries could pop up around town in the

future.

“I think that’s the goal,” Cavanagh said. “It would be really neat to have locationspecific community libraries. It has been talked about doing an art bookery in an arts place. A lot of people have beautiful art books,

but again, they only get read once every couple of years but would be great to share.

We are going to try it out with the Cookbookery and see how it goes.”

Arts & Entertainment Loss explored in new show from Vagabond Players The Vagabond Players are presenting a Pulitzer Prizewinning play as their first production of 2019.

The theatre company is presenting Rabbit Hole, by David Lindsay-Abaire, at the Bernie Legge Theatre in Queen’s Park from Feb. 9 to March 2. Previews are on Feb. 7 and 8.

The play tells the story of Becca and Howie Corbett (played by Alexandra Wilson and Rob Stover), who have a picture-perfect family life in the suburbs of NewYork until a random, tragic accident takes the life of their four-year-old son.

Soon afterwards, Becca’s younger, irresponsible sister, Izzy (Julia Chayko), announces that she is pregnant.

As Becca and Howie grow apart, Becca’s mother (Nancy Ebert) badgers Becca about her grieving process. And, complicating it all, Jason (Adam Beggs), the young driver who killed Becca and Howie’s son, continually shows up to ask for forgiveness.

Family drama: Julia Chayko is Izzy and Alexandra Wilson is Becca in the Vagabond Players production of Rabbit Hole, running at the Bernie Legge Theatre from Feb. 9 to March 2. PHOTO CRAIG PREMACK, COURTESY VAGABOND PLAYERS

“Tensions build, for the group is on a bumpy ride to healing with no road map in sight,” a press release says.

“Rabbit Hole delves into the complexity of a family navigating deep grief and learning what it means to live a fruitful life when things fall apart.”

It’s onstage Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.Tickets are $17 regular, or $15 for seniors and youth, with $12 tickets for the preview shows.

MEET THE 2018/19 NEW WESTMINSTER YOUTH AMBASSADOR TEAM

Gritty comedy explores urban Indigenous life A gritty dark comedy that explores contemporary Indigenous life is onstage at the Anvil Centre in February.

Tales of an Urban Indian, written and performed

by Darrell Dennis, is onstage Saturday, Feb. 9 at 7:30 p.m.

The show is described as a “semi-autobiographical” story of Simon Douglas, a contemporary First Nations man born in the 1970s and raised on a reserve in B.C. and Vancouver. Dennis – known for his work in the starring role of Brian Potter on the hit CBC drama Northwood – inhabits the role of Simon as he conjures up an array of characters that come in and out of his life. His mother and grandmother, his girlfriends and every other character are portrayed through Simon’s mimicry.

“I wanted to tell a story in which an Indigenous character is not defeated by his victimization, but rather, comes to the realization that all human beings possess the power of choice when reacting to their life experience,” Dennis said in a press release. “It was also important, in dealing with the difficult subject matter that we do in this play, to approach it with humour, since humour is perhaps the most important and prevalent survival mechanism in Indigenous society.”

Lines of Thoughts, featuring the work of Elsa Chesnel, runs from Feb. 6 to 24 at the Arts Council of NewWestminster’s gallery in Centennial Lodge. An opening reception is set for Wednesday, Feb. 6 from 6 to 8 p.m., and an Inter/Action session with the artist is on Sunday, Feb. 10 from 3 to 4 p.m.

An exhibition statement

says Chesnel, who is selftaught in the visual arts, has always been “seduced by charcoal, by the black mess engulfing her as the drawings emerge.”

But the limitations of her chosen medium pushed her to use acrylics to express herself in larger format, allowing for experimentation with colour.

“When creating, Chesnel loses herself in shapes and volumes, then refines and discovers meaning through

lines as she explores her own thoughts,” the statement says. “The artist is as much a part of the process as a part of the final product. In many ways, Lines of Thoughts is Chesnel’s own version of Rorschach’s inkblots.”

The gallery is open Wednesdays from 1 to 8 p.m., and Thursdays through Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. See www.artscouncil newwest.org or call 604525-3244.

Hard work on the horizon for Hyacks

NewWest winds down tourney action in preparation for next week’s league playoffs Dan Olson

WLA draft offers NewWest a shot at adding depth

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

While it looks like B.C.ers have escaped, for the moment, that chilly winter feeling that’s trapped parts of Eastern Canada in snow, think again.

The New Westminster Hyacks’ shooters spent the past days with a touch of Jack Frost.

Although the senior boys basketball team posted a 3-2 record the past two weeks, it came despite a drought in the scoring department.

Hyacks head coach Ted Cusick said the cold spell, just like the weather variety, is due for a thaw.

“Our shooting has just gone to pot,” said Cusick, noting how the players hit only three of 31 free throws in the Midtown Classic final on Saturday. It was an 88-77 loss to Guildford Park, where the Surrey team fended off the Hyacks rally attempts for much of the night.

Mix in a string of turnovers, and winning becomes difficult, noted the coach.

Luke Burton netted 20 points in the loss, while Ethan Rivas, back after missing the previous game due to a minor injury, counted 18 points. Chipping in with 16 was Simon Cruz.

In the semifinal on Friday, New West knocked off host Eric Hamber 69-63, powered by Kirk Bothwell’s 19 points and 10 rebounds.

AJ Chol contributed 13 points, and Udhay Mangat filled in admirably for Rivas with 10 points and nine boards.

They had opened the tourney with a solid 80-67 triumph over David Thompson, with Rivas racking up 33 points and 16 rebounds, while Mo Al-Ghreibawi drained 18

points, eight rebounds and five assists.

It helped ease the sting from last week’s 82-66 setback to league rival

Byrne Creek, which guaranteed a third-place finish and seeding.

The Hyacks are in the mix of this weekend’s Robert Bateman T-

wolves tournament, before returning to host round 1 of the Burnaby-New West league playoffs on Monday.

They’ll be counting on someone to make a mistake.

With the seventh overall pick in next week’s Western Lacrosse Association junior draft, the New Westminster Salmonbellies have to wait and listen.

But when their chance comes, the reigning regular season champions plan to pounce.

“At seventh overall we have guys targeted, but we don’t see it as a very deep draft,” New West general manager Dan Richardson said. “One of the areas we’re looking to add to is our defence.”

Coming after last summer’s disappointing quick exit in the playoffs, the ’Bellies could use a young stopper to add to their backline core.

But off-season developments will have them keep their eyes open for offensive help, too.

It was announced last week that forward Joel McCready, who missed 2018 due to a knee injury, would miss this coming summer due to an achilles injury suffered while playing for Richardson’s Vancouver Warriors in the NLL. “I just don’t see the depth we’ve seen in recent drafts,” Continued on page 35

BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

Scholarships, friendship mark of Tessa’s Tournament Surrey charitable tourney, in honour of high school basketball player, to host games at Douglas College

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Since it began seven years ago, the Tessa’s Tournament has grown and expanded like the positive force of the person it honours.

Now, the Surrey-based girls basketball tourney is crossing the Fraser River into New Westminster.

Having reached full capacity for teams at five Surrey gyms, the Feb. 1 and 2 event is coming north to Douglas College, where Tessa’s father, Steve Beauchamp, coaches the women’s PacWest team.

It means the tourney, which includes divisions for Grade 8, junior and senior levels, is now 44 teams strong after starting with four teams in its inaugural run.

“It’s grown every year, but we’ve

been limited by available gym space, honestly,” said Beauchamp, who helps oversee the event. “We got interest from everywhere (in B.C.), so it seemed bringing it to Douglas (College) was a good fit.”

It all began at Holy Cross Regional Secondary in Surrey, where Tessa played, learned and gave so much to so many. It’s in her honour, and as a means to celebrate her passion for her sporting community, that the tourney was created. She died in 2012 at the age of 18 after a nearly four-year battle with cancer.

In her memory, the giving has continued to the tune of $13,000 in scholarships last year alone, to students and athletes heading to college or university. Last week at the B.C. Catholic basketball

championships, the Tessa Foundation presented a scholarship award to St.Thomas More’s Matteo Mauro.

The awards benefit students and athletes from around the province, as well local and international charities.

The foundation will present four $1,000 scholarship awards to graduating athletes at the event, while each site will welcome donations of both cash and gently worn or like-new sports uniforms, jerseys and shorts that will be sent to children in the Philippines. Admission is by donation, with all funds raised going to the foundation.

The proverb “It takes a village to raise a child” would apply to benevolent events such as this.

Sponsors, organizations, players,

coaches and an army of volunteers come together to put it on.

Beauchamp said the basketball side of things has been extremely successful as well, being the last tournament before league playoffs.

“What makes it unique is that it’s a celebration of basketball, where we design it so that teams get games that have meaning, with real implications to the matchups in terms of future rankings,” he said.

How badly do teams want to be in it? Programs from as faraway as Smithers,Vernon and Summerland will brave the winter road conditions for some late playoff prep action, when most teams stick close to home.

On Feb. 1, the action begins at Holy Cross, Fleetwood Park, Sur-

rey Christian middle and senior gyms, and St. Matthews’ gym.

The Douglas College portion will feature the junior girls division, starting 9 a.m. Feb. 2 with Burnaby South playing Holy Cross. Here’s the rest of the New West schedule: 9 a.m., Pt. Grey v St. John Brebeuf; 10:30 a.m., Sahali v Riverside, Notre Dame v Vernon; noon, Summerland v Yale, Argyle v Fraser Heights; 1:30 p.m., St. Pats v St.Thomas Aquinas; 3 p.m., Holy Cross v Sahali, St. John Brebeuf v Notre Dame; 4:30 p.m.,Yale v Argyle, Fraser Heights v Burnaby South; 6 p.m., Fleetwood Park v St. Pats, St.Thomas Aquinas v Heritage Woods.

Draft a chance to stock shelves Continued from page 35 said Richardson. “There are a couple we have our eyes on, but we have to wait our turn.”

Standout netminder Christian Del Bianco is expected to be selected first overall by his hometown Adanacs, while another Coquitlam player, Ryland Rees, considered to be a two-way talent, is expected to go well before New West makes its pick.

One of a pair of defenders with the Minto Cup champion Adanacs could be an interesting fit for New West’s needs. Graydon Bradley, a six-foot-four back door specialist, is among the better defenders in this year’s crop. Joining him as a possible first rounder is

Oakville, Ont. native Matthew Kim.The former Six Nations player came west for 2018 and helped Coquitlam collect its second national title in the past three years.

“We’re in that cycle where we have a number of guys hitting their prime,” said Richardson. “Last year we were a very good team that just had our asses handed to us (by Maple Ridge). I think we just peaked a week too early.”

Other players who could be of interest, if New West wants offence, are Victoria’s Marshal King and Braylon Lumb and Coquitlam’s Dylan Foulds.

Richardson envisions the return of Keegan Bal – who played in Edmonton

the past three seasons – as a good addition, along with the continuing improved play from two-way defender Mike Messenger.

With coach Rory McDade entering his second season behind the bench, familiarity is now not a question to start the season.

Add that a number of players are getting lots of time with the Warriors – including team leaders Logan Schuss, Mitch Jones, Jordan McBride and Bal – and Richardson envisions another Mann Cup push.

“That’s what wins championships – character and playing for each other,” he noted. “We’ve got good athletes and good characters, just like on the Warriors, who play for each other.”

VERNON, David Aylmer (Ayl) July 15, 1923 - January 18, 2019 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, papa and greatgrandfather, David (Ayl) Vernon. Survived by his loving wife of 72 years, Beth, sons John (Joan), Dave (Elsie), granddaughters Deni (Graeme), Tara (Carlos), great-grandchildren Jaedyn, Camdyn, Ryland, Bauer, siblings Carolyn, Bill (Susan), Bob (Annette), and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Predeceased by granddaughter Corinne, sister Dolly, father John, mother Blanche, step-mom Gladys, daughter-in-law Marg and brother-in-law Erich.

Ayl was born and raised in New Westminster. After graduating from Trapp Technical High School, he served first in the Navy and then in the Canadian Air Force as a Wireless Air Gunner. In 1945, Ayl was hired as a Conductor on the Interurbans with BC Electric. When the Interurbans ceased, he transitioned to driving city buses, which he continued until his retirement in 1981.

Ayl was a dedicated husband and family man. He and Beth enjoyed spending time with family and friends at Pitt Lake and on Mayne Island. They were also avid travelers, taking many trips to Reno, Hawaii, and Mexico. In retirement, they enjoyed attending Dixieland Jazz festivals and were actively involved with the Sapperton Pensioners.

Ayl touched many lives with his charm, wit, and generous spirit. He cared deeply for family and friends and he was deeply cared for in return.

The family would like to thank Dr. Petropolis and the staff at Queens Park Care Center for the care they provided Ayl in his final months. A small Celebration of Life will take place in the spring.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
