“I already know what I like to do, and I’ve found a place where I get to do it.” I chose Tapestry. I wanted the freedom to decide what to do with my time. During golf season, I like to get up, grab a quick breakfast, and head off to the course for the day. In the off season, there are plenty of activities at Tapestry to keep me stimulated. These days, I can still make par. I have my health, and I get to enjoy my new friends both on and off the course. At age 90, it couldn’t get any better.

Rain, rain, go away — dreary December commute made brighter by Christmas lights and CBC I don’t know about you, but I’ve pretty much had it with these dark, wet days and even darker nights. And don’t even get me started on daylight saving time, because there’s nothing I love more than getting up in the dark and driving home from work in the dark — especially when it’s raining. And when I silently curse black-clad pedestrians stepping in front of my car while looking down at their phones, I realize my transformation into my mother is almost complete. One real glimmer of hope in dreary December is the fact the days start to get longer in just a matter of weeks. Something else that keeps
me going in December are the holiday light displays across the city that make my commute just a little brighter. These displays, whether it’s an elaborate production complete with inflatable snowmen and reindeer or a simple strand of lights, remind me there are still people living in this city who care enough to make the effort and, to that, I salute you. Another way I used to survive my commute was by listening to Rick Cluff and Amy Bell on CBC in the morning on my way to work, and Stephen Quinn and Lisa Christiansen on my way home. Unfortunately, I went over a bump in my ancient
Nissan recently and my radio stopped working. Perhaps that malfunction was a precursor to the Dec. 4 announcement that Cluff is leaving CBC for good after 42 years. Cluff was much missed recently when he was off the air for months following major heart surgery. His recent return was of so much interest to me and other listeners, I convinced him to be on the cover of this edition of Lifetime. During an interview we chatted about his health following the surgery, which he described to me in great detail and with great delight — as only a journalist would. So check out my interview with Rick as he talks heart health and his admiration for the team of doctors who saved his life.

RICK CLUFF TALKS
SANDRA THOMAS | STHOMAS@VANCOURIER.COM
The week before announcing his retirement, Rick Cluff talked to the Courier about his health CBC broadcaster and Early Edition host Rick Cluff remembers the moment just prior to undergoing openheart surgery this past June. “I remember before being wheeled in for surgery I kissed my daughter and wife goodbye,” says Cluff. “Because that’s the kind of surgery it is, you don’t know if you’re going to make it.” Cluff spent two hours in preop and then underwent 6.5 hours of open-heart surgery, none of which he remembers. “It was like the snap of fingers later, but it was 11 a.m. Saturday the next day,” Cluff told the Courier during an interview at CBC Nov. 27. “And I woke up and felt like
...he endured and survived a quadruple bypass. someone had shoved a set of barbecue utensils down my throat. But then with one eye I saw my daughter and with the other eye I saw my wife and my first thought was, ‘Hey, I made it.’” Cluff never suffered a heart attack but instead lived with hereditary heart disease that progressively got worse. Cluff’s dad died from heart disease in 1972. As a football player at school, Cluff’s
heart didn’t give him any problems. It wasn’t until he reached his 30s that he began suffering chest pains and was diagnosed with angina (pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle) and supraventricular tachycardia (an abnormally fast heart beat).
Cluff was referred to a cardiologist, and upon further investigation it was decided he should have an angiogram because he had a number of blockages. But it wasn’t until several years and angina attacks later that Dr. Jacqueline Saw, an interventional cardiologist at Vancouver General Hospital, implanted a stent into Cluff’s chest. A stent is a tube-shaped device placed in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart to keep the arteries open.
I didn’t expect to bring Bella with me.
A stent was implanted in November 2016 but in April 2017 his angina and accompanying pain was back. Once again Cluff met with Dr. Saw, who placed a second stent inside the first in an attempt to clear the blockage. But three weeks later, Cluff was walking up the stairs at his home when the pain returned. This time, Dr. Saw broke the news that he needed much more than a stent. After conferring with cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Richard Cook, VGH interventional and structural cardiologist Dr. David Wood and Dr. Saul Isserow, director of the VGH Centre for Cardiovascular Health, it was decided Cluff needed open heart surgery, which included sawing his chest open and paralyzing his lungs and heart for 90 minutes. Unbeknownst to Cluff until later, he endured

cardiovascular team that I have.”
“If I had to give some advice, I’d say that old thing, you should listen to your body,” says Cluff. “When I was having chest pains I dismissed them and thought it’s just indigestion, it will pass. I’m blessed to have the
Since the surgery, Cluff has made several lifestyle changes, including attending cardiovascular rehabilitation exercise classes three times a week, watching what he eats, cutting back on his salt intake — and announcing his retirement.

“Thank you for listening” SANDRA THOMAS | STHOMAS@VANCOURIER.COM
Broadcaster Rick Cluff retires after 41 years at CBC “I’ve had a ball,” Rick Cluff said of his 41-year career in broadcasting. “And I’ve laughed every day.” Cluff announced Dec. 4 he’ll be retiring from the Early Edition and CBC Dec. 22. On that same day, listeners will be invited to share their memories of Cluff and many of those comments will air during the annual holiday request show. Cluff started hosting the Early Edition in September 1997, leading the show and CBC Radio One to the number one morning program and radio station in Metro Vancouver’s competitive broadcast landscape. While with the Early Edition, Cluff and his
team received multiple awards for their coverage of local news, including the tasering of Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport, B.C. education struggles and protests over gentrification. Prior to the Early Edition, Cluff’s award-winning career with the CBC began in Ontario in 1976 as a sports commentator and reporter. During Cluff’s lengthy career, he covered eight Olympic games, five Commonwealth games, Super Bowl games, Stanley Cup runs and several Canada games, as well as various world championship events from the South Pacific to the Arctic Circle.
“It has been a remarkable 41 years with the CBC, but all things must come to an end,” Cluff said in a CBC press release announcing his retirement. “It has been both my privilege and my pleasure to be part of your morning as host of the Early Edition. To be invited into so many homes every morning, to be part of your morning routine, to be allowed to tag along on your morning commute is something for which I am extremely grateful and will treasure forever. Thank you for being there... thank you for listening.” The Early Edition will announce a new host next Monday, Dec. 11.

districts — Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey and Coquitlam — in the Greater Vancouver Area and one sub-chapter office in Toronto. How many members/ volunteers does the Vancouver office have? Currently, Tzu Chi Canada has over 40,000 donors and 2,200 volunteers across Canada. Among them, more than half are living in the Greater Vancouver Area. How do volunteers help? In food banks, they help food sorting and distributions. In senior residences, they run all kinds of activities for senior residents. In schools, they help run the breakfast programs. In shelters, they hold winter gift events and so on. How do volunteers help seniors? Our volunteers usually provide services at senior residences, totaling 37 in Canada, like chatting, exercise, tea/coffee serving, entertainment, nail painting. Why is it important to help the environment on top of everything else the volunteers do? Even though Tzu Chi Foundation’s initial mission is “charity,” environmental protection is also an important mission master Cheng Yen cares about.

...we welcome everyone to become our volunteers... many disasters, flooding, drought, wildfire around the world and the situation is getting worse. More and more people are suffering from the disasters. More and more lives and property are lost. Unless we protect the earth and environment, the suffering cannot be eased. Can anyone volunteer or do they have to be a Buddhist? Even though Tzu Chi Foundation is Buddhistbased, master Cheng Yen said that religion should not stop people from joining us to do good deeds. And the philosophy of Tzu Chi Foundation is to help people in need beyond the limit of geography, culture, language, politics, religion and colour of skin. Therefore, we welcome everyone to become our volunteers no matter what kind of religious belief you have. That is why all our volunteers in Turkey and Jordan Chapters are Muslim. There are more than 7,000 female volunteers in our South America chapter and they are all Christian.

creations, Dino Cosentino has turned to wire to mold intricate tree sculptures in a variety of forms and styles, including a unique piece adorned with hundreds of pink blossoms used to represent the ribbons of the breast cancer awareness campaign, and a tree resplendent in rainbow blooms to represent the LGBTQ2S+ community.
“Wire is like hair so it was a very smooth transition,” said Cosentino. “Back when I was styling hair and entering all the competitions everyone loved what I created, but the next day after the hair was washed, it was gone. Now with my trees, that beauty can last forever.” In the 1980s, Cosentino made a mark for himself at his renowned Shaughnessy salon while coiffing and styling the hair of celebrities and members of Vancouver’s elite. The popular stylist also travelled the world scooping up prestigious hair titles and winning numerous styling competitions. Cosentino, born in Montreal’s Little Italy in 1942, began his creative journey early under the guidance of his father, Vincent, who was a designer and silk screen printer. Cosentino was just 15 when he attended hairdressing school in Montreal and graduated at the top of his class. During the 1960s, Cosentino won numerous prizes and competitions and in 1979 he moved to Vancouver, where he began working in Alberto Leone’s prestigious salon. Not long after, Cosentino bought the salon and became the go-
to stylist for many members of Vancouver’s high society.
During that time, Cosentino also worked for L’Oréal as a platform artist and it was during a trip to China, in the 1980s, when he got the inspiration for the sculptures he makes today. (Part educator, part entertainer — “platform artists” are considered the rock stars of the hair industry.) While training new stylists at a prestigious hotel, Cosentino saw a stark space transformed into a beautiful Chinese garden through the innovative techniques the Chinese craftsmen used. This sparked an idea, but it was only after he retired from hairdressing that Cosentino found the time to create his own sculptures. And now, at age 75, Cosentino is considered an “emerging artist.” His first show, Immortal II, took place in mid-November at Visual Space Gallery on Dunbar Street where 20 original works of art by Cosentino were on display and available for purchase. “I love design,” said Cosentino. “What I am making is unique. No one else is making sculptures with the same approach.” And although many might consider 75 as an age to settle into retirement, Cosentino believes that being a senior is the perfect time to seek longsought-after dreams. “Whatever age we are, we should never give up on our dreams,” said Cosentino. “They can come true at any age and if I can do it, anyone can.”
