A story has recently gone viral on the Chinese social media platform WeChat. It’s actually not a story so much as a series of videos that show Chinese students who study abroad recording their parents’ reactions when they return home to celebrate Chinese New Year — unannounced.

As seen in the video, almost all of the mothers scream and throw their arms around their children, while most dads smile quietly, standing to the side. It’s a cultural thing. Most Chinese dads are shy about expressing their love for their kids, even though they would sacrifice everything for their children.

I was on the Canada Line when I came across this emotional video. It had me sobbing and laughing at the same time.

The passenger seated next to me probably thought I was having some kind of mental health episode — and, in a way, I was. As an immigrant who doesn’t have any family members here, my feelings about Chinese New Year are complicated.

Chinese New Year, for me, has always been about spending time with family and relatives. We used to gather around the dinner table to share stories about what we had experienced in the past year. After a few rounds of storytelling and a good laugh, we would toast each other and drink some alcohol.

My favourite new year’s eve traditions were receiving “red pockets” (little red envelopes) and setting off firecrackers at the stroke of midnight to scare away evil spirits and celebrate the coming new year.

When I was a little girl, the anticipation of Chinese New Year was agony. I couldn’t wait for my grandparents and other relatives to spoil me with red pockets. Each red pocket was usually filled with a $50 bill. I could collect up to $500 by the end of the night. From a 10-year-old girl’s perspective, $500 was like winning a $60-million lottery jackpot.

Unfortunately, my parents always made me hand over all the money before I even had a chance to dream about what I’d do with it.

“We want to save the money to pay for your education,” was my parents’ constant refrain after taking away the money. I would be angry and upset — until I came to Canada in 2015 to pursue my studies. Maybe they didn’t cover all of it, but those red pockets did help pay for my tuition.

Today, since I have no family here to gather with or give me red pockets, the new year festival might just be a regular day, but it isn’t. There are so many events happening in Richmond during the Chinese New Year, I’ll be busy checking them out. In fact, the city is even more vibrant than my hometown, where stores close during this time of the year.

And I can’t say that I feel particularly sad or lonely, either.

Rather, I feel tremendously fulfilled to work on stories with my team members. Just having the opportunity to share my memories of Chinese New Year like this is a privilege.

Living in a multicultural country has allowed me to see the best of both eastern and western worlds – I can celebrate both Christmas and Chinese New Year.

On that note, I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year filled with joy and celebration.

Install pay-per-use parking Dear Editor,

called next, or more to the point is physically limited by the procedures to get out to pay for more parking.

Re: “Hospital parking unfair,” Letters, Jan. 16.

Hospital parking has become an unnecessarily stressful and expensive experience for patients at all the hospitals.

Anyone who has used the hospital lots while attending a procedure, test or appointment immediately has to play a guessing game as to how much pay parking to buy before they have even walked through the door of the hospital.

Inevitably, these appointments or treatments can run long or are delayed with the patient waiting and not wanting to leave to pay for more parking in case his or her name is

There is a really easy solution to this. Put the guy that is patrolling the lot handing out tickets into a booth and you pay as you exit the lot for the time you have been there. Sound familiar? Or, like the airport or the Oval, install machines that read your ticket when you leave and tell you

I am sure Impark is in no hurry to do either because they make way more money handing out significant fines than either of the above suggestions.

It is time the city stepped in and forced the issue. Impark does not own this property. This is not rocket science, it is simple common sense.

Change the machinery so that it is patient-friendly, the same as the airport or Oval, you pay for the actual time you use, or put the “ticket vulture” into a booth, and you pay as you leave. Patient stress reduced, problem solved.

Open letter to Richmond residents,

what you owe for the time you have been there.

How many patients per day get back to their cars to find that the guy who constantly patrols the lot with his ticket machine in hand has placed a significantly expensive fine on their car? Impark has turned into “hospital parking lot vultures,” hovering around the lot constantly, waiting for the parking on vehicles to expire.

Every evening, in all kinds of weather, I take a walk around my block. Tonight, I started out at No. 1 Road, heading east to Railway Avenue, walking on the north side of the street.

Not one person had shoveled their sidewalk.

These are million dollar homes. Surely they can afford a shovel or hire someone to clear their snow.

The City of Richmond posted this statement: “In April 2017, Bylaw 5870 was amended to improve safety and convenience for pedestrians.

“Residential (single-family and multi-family) owners/occupants are now required to clear snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to their properties.”

If someone were to fall and sustain an injury there very well could be legal ramifications for property owners.

For everyone’s safety, please shovel your sidewalks.

Compact living is MP: Climate change solution bigger than Richmond greener living Dear Editor, Re: “Activist pushes for rental at Lansdowne,” News, Dec. 26.

After reading John Roston’s Dec. 26 article on the plans to rezone Lansdowne for rental units, I was elated.

I believe density to be one of the most important, yet under-discussed, issues in our time, and I was grateful that the issue was finally getting attention.

The population of Canada is increasing and will continue to increase for a very long time.

The Greater Vancouver area alone is projected by the B.C. government to grow by nearly a million people by 2041, and other cities expect similar levels of growth.

However, the housing supply has not kept pace. As a result, Canada’s housing/cost-to-income ratio is the highest in the developed world.

Increasing the supply of housing is a critical step to bringing housing costs to a more affordable level.

Dear Editor,

On top of that, another oft-neglected need for density is that compact living is greener living.

Re: “Climate shame on Tory MPs,” Letters, Jan. 9.

I appreciate your concern for the suffering of those abroad, we must indeed use our intellects, resources and time to combat such global devastation.

As cities have seen the populations expand, it has forced them to “sprawl” outwards.

This directly harms the environment by forcing more land to be dedicated to human living, but it also means more people have to drive to their places of work/education.

However, I do not believe attending or declining to attend a particular and narrowly focused climate debate would resolve or jeopardize the challenges the world is facing.

A denser environment will mitigate the harmful practice of urban sprawl and make it more viable for people to use green transportation, such as walking or busing.

As I repeatedly mentioned during my campaign and stress here again, such a global problem requires a world-wide solution.

With increasing populations, rising carbon rates, and astronomical costs of living, it’s clear that a more compact society is the key to a more open, clean and affordable society.

Canada’s carbon emission amounts for less than two per cent of the world total, without taking into account the vast areas of CO2-absorbing plants and forests.

The first step to achieving that goal is to rezone Lansdowne for rental housing.

ada and the Nordic climate our country possesses, the question should rather be how we can continue to optimize our use of energy, and how we may in turn share our experiences and intellectual expertise, along with our responsibly produced resources with those developing energy-demanding nations.

Plan to Protect Our Environment would be better able to foster the development of more efficient green technologies, in addition to recognizing that greenhouse gas emissions are a global issue.

Sacrificing Canada and Canadians would have zero long-term effect on climate change.

This is especially so in our Richmond neighbourhoods, where I am a strong proponent of the diking system which protects the Lulu Island from flooding, and the protection of our fishing industry.

Certainly, slapping yet another tax on their already heavily tax-burdened shoulders, would not help reduce our carbon footprint.

This is why the Conservative 2019 campaign slogan was “It’s Time for You to Get Ahead.”

At the same time, as a Member of Parliament, I am very concerned with the issues and the implication of climate change in Canada.

Climate change will not be solved by increasing taxes, but instead by human ingenuity, some of which I hope will come from fellow Canadians.

I remain convinced the environmental policies and ideas outlined in our 60-page Real

Greene praises fossil Screening set up at YVR for coronavirus fuel divestment pulling out of coal investment.

Maria Rantanen

People who keep investing in fossil fuels expect them to keep growing, but that is not where the market is going, she said.

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond Coun. Kelly Greene praised Vancouver City Council for looking at the possibility of divesting from fossil fuels.

Greene put forward a motion two weeks ago at a finance meeting to analyze the City of Richmond’s investments with three chartered banks that underwrite large fossil-fuel projects — this was defeated.

Greene called her motion “much more modest” than what Vancouver passed on Tuesday.

She considers divesting from fossil fuels not just a moral imperative, but also a fiduciary one, referencing recent media reports talking about the risk of investing in fossil fuels.

“If we aren’t keeping our heads up, we will be left behind,” Greene said.

Greene pointed out Black Rock, one of the largest asset management firms in the world with $7 trillion in investments, is

“(Fossil-fuel investors are) hoping for an expanded use of a product that is running out of time,” Greene said. “We’re transforming our technology again and in that transformational period things are going to change.”

The Vancouver motion was to define divestment, options and timelines on how the city could divest from fossil fuels as well as engage with regional organizations, for example, UBCM, on these initiatives.

Greene’s motion was to look at investments made by the city with RBC, TD Bank and CIBC. The City of Richmond has invested about $70 million (8.44 per cent of total investments) with RBC, $41 million with TD Bank (4.97 per cent) and $20 million (2.4 per cent) with CIBC. Greene cannot bring back a similar motion after her original one was defeated.

Health experts confirmed over the weekend that humanto-human transmissions of a flu-like “coronavirus” — which is similar to the deadly SARS virus — have been found.

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The coronavirus which originated in China is getting closer to Canada, with a case being confirmed Tuesday in Washington State.

The U.S. CDC said Tuesday that the patient recently returned from Wuhan, before the new screening procedures were in place.

Health officials in Snohomish County say a man was hospitalized on Sunday and that his diagnosis was confirmed on Monday.

“We have had three people assigned to us from CDC (U.S. Centre for Disease Control) that are here, and that is our priority — to determine what it means to be at risk, who those people are, doing the contact investigation all the way from China to his home here in Snohomish County,” said Scott Lindquist, Washington State epidemiologist.

The coronavirus — which has been traced to a seafood market in the Chinese city of Wuhan — has similar symptoms to the common cold or flu, but can be deadly.

The Richmond News reported on Monday how Canadian officials at three airports, including Vancouver, added an extra screening question and signage in a bid to keep a watch on the spread of the coronavirus.

Although there are no direct flights from Wuhan to Canada, thousands of passengers are expected to be travelling on the 52 flights a week between China and Vancouver Airport, in the run up the Lunar New Year on Saturday.

Chamber brands group as ‘imposter’ to ensure that “chamber of commerce” couldn’t be used by any other group.

Maria Rantanen

According to Chelsea Williams with the NDP caucus, Chow wasn’t involved in the event either as an MLA or as Minister of State for Trade.

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

In English it’s called the Business Association of Richmond, but in Chinese it’s the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce — although the group is a direct competitor of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce.

His constituency staff said the event was not on his official agenda.

Chow has not responded to repeated efforts to contact him, and questions about his role at this trade-oriented event received a “no comment” reply from his staff.

Sunny Ho, the spokesman for the Chinese association, which formed in 2017, said it has no intention of misleading people.

Although, the Chinese characters are identical for both groups except the business association adds “greater” in front of its name.

“We don’t intend to take any advantage,” Ho said about the name of the business association, adding that the association uses both the English and Chinese names together. However, the media release sent to the Richmond News about a Jan. 11 event was written solely in Chinese, calling itself the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce.

The CEO of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, Matt Pitcairn, however, said using the Chinese name with “chamber of commerce” is “very inappropriate.”

The Richmond Chamber of Commerce is the local designated chamber of commerce

After the signing event, Ho took delegates of the HCMC Clean Agriculture Association (CAPA) to visit his business, the Kam Do Bakery, where Ho’s wife gave them a tour.

Coun. Chak Au (left), Minister of State for Trade George Chow (second from left) and Richmond businessman Sunny Ho (far right) met with a Vietnamese group for the signing of a letter of intent for trade. Photo submitted of which there can only be one per community, according to the federal Board of Trade Act. “It creates serious brand confusion for the chamber of commerce,” Pitcairn said. On social media, Pitcairn called him the business group an “imposter.”

Equally troublesome for Pitcairn is the fact local and provincial politicians recently supported the association by attending an event it hosted to encourage greater trade

THANK YOU

between its members and a Vietnamese agricultural business group.

Richmond Coun. Chak Au and the provincial Minister of State for Trade, George Chow, were joined by the Consul-General of Vietnam, Trinh Tu Lan, and the president of the Vietnamese agricultural group to cosign a “letter of intent.”

Pitcairn was particularly frustrated with MLA Chow’s appearance, given that his government recently passed legislation

CAPA is based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and they promote themselves as selling agricultural products that are not polluted.

Ho is a property developer in Richmond.

His current project, Alfa, is on hold as the contractor, Scott Construction, pulled out after citing delays by the developer.

Ho returned the deposits paid by those who invested in the project in pre-sales. A class action lawsuit was subsequently filed against Alfa by 36 of those who invested.

Ho ran for council in 2018.

Four new Canada Line cars roll out Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM With four new Canada Line cars heading into service Tuesday, more people will be able to move between Richmond and Vancouver during peak hours.

The new cars mean there will be a 15 per cent increase — about 800 additional riders — in service during peak hours.

That number will jump to 35 per cent — another 1,200 riders — when the remaining eight cars are rolled out later this year, according to TransLink’s CEO Kevin Desmond.

The announcement was made by TransLink — along with Mayor Malcolm Brodie — at Brighouse Canada Line station Tuesday morning.

“Since its inception in 2009, the Canada Line has made a profound impact in Richmond,” said Brodie.

“Our city is a diverse and vibrant community. The Canada Line has played a key role in our strategic growth and furthered our commitment to environmental sustainability.”

“The redevelopment of our city centre, which you see all around us, has been implemented in large part based on the introduction of the Canada Line and the reliable access to rapid transit that it provides,” said Brodie.

According to TransLink, 2019 was the first time the Canada Line saw more than 50 million boardings. And on an average day last year, there were more than 150,000 trips — a three per cent increase from 2018.

Around 21 per cent of riders use the Canada Line to travel to or from YVR, according to the transit authority.

“It’s been an incredible decade for development here in Richmond and Vancouver, spurred along by the Canada Line which was clearly the right solution for this part region of the region going forward,” said Kevin Desmond, TransLink’s CEO. “The moment (the Canada Line) started running, customers lined up for blocks like people lining up in an Apple store for a new iPhone, for example, and ridership has been growing ever since.”

Would this annuity problem happen in B.C.?

Last week, a letter was published in the Santa Cruz Sentinel (a California newspaper) in which a senior, whose “lady friend” had passed away without making a Will and had owned an annuity. The couple had lived together 18 years. Their assets were jointly held, except for the apparently forgotten annuity. The designated beneficiaries of the annuity had all died. In California, marriage-like relationships are not legally recognized. As a result, the annuity became part of the deceased “lady friend’s” Estate and had to be distributed to distant relatives who had not been in communication with the deceased.

I expect that in this situation, in B.C., because marriage-like relationships are legally recognized, the annuity would fall into the deceased’s Estate but it would end up going to the surviving gentleman (as long as he can prove they did live together and he was a “spouse”).

As I have said many times over the years, though, it will always pay to plan these things far in advance.

Image released of alleged sex offender Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Police have released this image of Satvir Singh Sanghera, 49.

Richmond RCMP has released a photo of an alleged sex offender, in a bid to encourage other victims to come forward.

The Richmond News reported last month how Satvir Singh Sanghera, 49, was charged with a catalogue of sex offences against vulnerable women and females in the sex trade.

The 14 charges include: sexual assault, administering a noxious substance, assault, theft, fraud, obtaining sexual services for consideration, transmitting intimate images of a person without consent and possession of child pornography.

The current charges are related to incidents which are largely historical in nature, according to police.

The case against Sanghera dates back to August 2018 when the Richmond RCMP Serious Crimes Unit began an investigation into an individual suspected of committing sexrelated crimes.

“We acknowledge that persons in the community may be very sensitive to seeing the image of Mr. Sanghera,” said the RCMP’s Cpl.

Richmond remembers Holocaust Maria Rantanen

Bayit pastpresident Michael Sachs and CIJA director Nico Slobinsky helped organize a city Holocaust proclamation.

Maria Rantanen photo

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

“Never again” — that is what Jewish people say when they talk about the Holocaust. They don’t ever want it repeated, either to Jews or any other cultural or ethnic group.

FINAL PHASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE PROPOSED DESIGN

WHAT CONNECTS YOU? The City is planning a new walking, rolling, and cycling path across Granville Bridge.

We’ve developed a design based on public feedback in earlier rounds of engagement.

Share your thoughts on the design at an open house, public workshop, or online.

WORKSHOPS CityLab 511 W Broadway February 1 & 4

The proclamation was scheduled to be made on Wednesday evening (Jan. 22) at the Bayit, the Orthodox synagogue in Steveston, by Richmond’s Mayor, Malcolm Brodie.

Michael Sachs, pastpresident of the Bayit Synagogue, said it’s “extremely admirable” of the city to declare the day to remember the horrors of the past, noting that education is the key to making sure an event like the Holocaust never happens again.

“By the city making this proclamation, it’s taking a stand and making a step in the right direction of that education and awareness,” Sachs added.

The proclamation comes in the wake of a public outcry in November over a Rich-

— are never repeated,” he said.

The auction house withdrew the items after widespread condemnation from Richmond council members, local MLAs and many community members including the Jewish community.

“It started gradually many years before with attitudes and comments and it gained momentum until anti-Semitism was a state policy – until it finally reached a climax of millions of people being slaughtered,” he said, adding that “it is always important to remember the six million mostly Jewish innocent people who perished.”

Richmond’s Holocaust Remembrance Day will coincide with the U.N.’s day of remembrance on Jan. 27.

This year, there will be special ceremonies to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

At about 3,800 people, Richmond has the second largest Jewish population in B.C. (after Vancouver) and many young Jewish families are settling in the city, explained Nico Slobinsky, director of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), Pacific Region.

Slobinsky pointed out that within five to 10 years, most survivors will be gone.

“It’s really up to all of us as a collective to preserve their memory, to remember, to mark this important day of remembrance, to ensure the horrors of the Holocaust — that period of time in history

In anticipation of the city’s proclamation, Brodie pointed out anti-Semitism didn’t rise overnight in Germany.

Not only did six million Jews perish in the Holocaust, but other groups were also targeted — socialists, Poles, the Roma, homosexuals, and in total 11 million people perished.

And there have been other genocides after the Second World War, Slobinsky pointed out, which is why it’s so important to learn from the past “to build a better future.”

“Whenever we see signs of racism in our society, we must all just stand up and speak up against any racist behaviour against any racist incidents,” Slobinsky said. “That’s the strength of our society — when we stand together, no fear, no hate.”

Rowing a marathon for mental health Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

In a couple of weeks’ time, Jenny Grant is expected to complete the 42,150 metres of a marathon in Richmond — without her feet touching the ground.

That’s because Grant, a personal trainer and nutritionist, will “travel” the marathon distance ensconced in a rowing machine in her local gym.

Grant is taking on the unusual challenge in a bid to raise a few dollars and awareness — through GoFundMe — for Richmond non-profit Pathways Clubhouse, a centre for people in recovery from mental illness.

And, down the line, if she helps even one person getting more access to the services they need, rowing a marathon will have been worth the sweat.

“I row all the time as part of my training. I don’t run. I’m running an 8K next week, but that’s unusual,” said Grant, 37, a cross-fit and body-building athlete who trains out of Overdrive Athletic Club on Elmbridge Way, right next door to Pathways’ former location. “Plus, running is not as eyecatching. Who the hell rows a marathon?”

As a person who has an anxiety disorder, Grant said rowing in her own little zone gives her comfort.

“I’ll set up my rower, put Lord of the Rings: Return of the King on my i-Pad and away I go. The movie is four hours long, so it’s perfect,” added Grant, who has personal experience through her mom and a family friend’s illnesses of the great work Pathways does.

“The whole thing will take about four and half hours. Four hours to row and I plan to stop every so often for a twominute break to stretch, snack and drink.”

Grant said she has some friends who will stop by from time to time, hopefully bringing her some coffee.

“Maybe someone will pull over a rower and row for 500

Jenny Grant, a fitness trainer and nutritionist, is rowing the full marathon distance to raise funds and awareness for Pathways Clubhouse in Richmond. Alan Campbell photo metres or so with me, who knows.”

Grant initially set a modest goal of $500 on her GoFundMe page, but has received so much support, she keeps edging the total upwards.

“My main aim is to have this type of community support available for my son if he needs it,” she said.

“For mental health, there are not enough options for people to seek help. Psychologists cost a lot of money.

“There is some help for people who are ‘in situations.’

There’s not a lot for people who are still suffering from something that happened 15 to 20 years ago.”

Mango chicken an auspicious dish Politics and pleasure are mixed in the kitchen in celebration of lunar new year Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM Richmond actor, artist and chef Colin Foo was joined in his kitchen by MLA Jas Johal to learn how to cook an Asian dish in anticipation of Lunar New Year.

While the sweet and sour mango chicken was a smashing success, the process to get there was a learning curve for the televisionreporter-turned MLA. Foo has been inviting Richmond News to his home for the past several years to learn how to make a lucky dish ahead of the annual celebration.

Foo outfitted Johal with surgical gloves and showed him how beer can be used in breading and deep frying chicken.

Johal was surprised by Foo’s recipe, in particular when he used Kokanee beer to make sweet and sour mango sauce — calling it “Kokanee chicken.”

“If I knew you are going to do this, I would have brought some craft brew from my riding: Fuggles and Warlock,” said Johal, ever the politician, not missing an opportunity to promote his constituents.

The sweet and sour mango chicken aims to bring good luck and blessings for Richmond

News readers this year, Foo said, flashing a big smile.

He added that the mango chicken recipe is an easy choice for a quick main dish —even for people who have never cooked before.

Under Foo’s guidance, Johal gently dipped chicken pieces into the egg batter and coated it with tapioca flour, placing them into the cooking oil.

However, Johal was schooled by Foo for throwing too many chicken pieces into the cooking oil at one time. Foo said it would reduce the temperature of the oil, making it take longer to get the chicken golden brown.

“I haven’t managed to mess this up yet,” Johal said as he started putting in the second batch of chicken pieces. “I have a good teacher.”

The conversation turned to family gatherings, with Johal noting a “medium-sized” Indian wedding is a thousand people.

They agreed pot luck is the way to go at family gatherings. Foo said there are 24 people at his family’s Chinese New Year celebrations and, because the mothers have taught them well, everyone in his family brings good food.

Aberdeen welcomes lucky New Year with gold theme Valerie Leung VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Aberdeen Centre’s annual Chinese New Year celebration returns with a gold theme to usher in good luck and fortune.

The Richmond mall aims to bring luck to visitors with an abundance of giant gold coins and “golden cheese” displays for the Year of the Rat. Joey Kwan, director of public relations at Aberdeen Centre, said she was told by a fortune teller the Year of the Rat will be an unstable year. With this in mind, Kwan wanted to share an interactive display that will bring more luck to visitors and the mall.

“The goal and theme for this year is to have an abundance of gold, lucky coins

and lucky ‘fortune sticks’ to balance out the unluckiness and bring more luck and positivity into the New Year,” said Kwan.

Visitors, said Kwan, can choose their “fortune sticks” and take pictures with their lucky pick and the display at the mall.

Aberdeen’s flower and gift fair will kick off this year’s Chinese New Year festivities until Jan. 26.

A live countdown to the Year of the Rat will take place on Jan. 24. with stage shows and blessings from the Chinese God of Fortune featuring Richmond Coun.

Bill McNulty starting at 8:30 p.m. in the mall’s atrium.

More festivities will take place at Aberdeen from Jan. 25 to 26 featuring a dragon and lion dance, a Chinese music orchestra and dance performances.

New Year’s dinner a ‘special reunion’ Catering group offers suggestions and explanations for celebratory dishes Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

One of the greatest joys of celebrating the Chinese New Year is the feast on the eve of the holiday, according to a Richmond-based catering association.

Members of the Canada Catering Association (CCA), a local organization dedicated to promoting cross-cultural cuisine, said the Chinese New Year dinner is often considered the most important gettogether meal of the entire year for the local Chinese community.

“Most people are either busy with work or running around with kids, they can’t have a sit-down meal with family members or relatives, but the Chinese New Year dinner is a special reunion time that brings everyone together to share food and stories,” said Charlie Huang, chairman of Canada Catering Association.

Huang explained that the tradition has been around for thousands of years in China.

Now it has extended into Rich-

mond due to waves of immigrants from China and Hong Kong.

Master chef Tony Kam, a member of CCA, has been cooking traditional Chinese New Year meals for more than 30 years in Metro Vancouver.

In the spirit of festivities, Kam has created a list of popular New Year’s dishes that many Chinese immigrants will have to celebrate 2020.

However, he encourages Richmondites of all backgrounds to give some of them a try.

1: Asian-steamed sea bass In Chinese, the word for “surplus” or “abundance” is a homonym of fish. Chinese people hope to have a surplus at the end of the year.

The goal is to save something this year, and build on that so as to make even more money in the following year.

2: Fried Chicken with Dried Chilies

Cubes

The word “chicken” sounds like “home” in Cantonese. Chicken represents family togetherness in Chinese culture and can also signify unity and prosperity as a

group.

Traditionally, parents will offer chicken wings to children in hopes of seeing them become more successful.

3: Longevity noodles Long noodles symbolize a wish for longevity. Longevity noodles are longer than normal noodles and usually uncut; their length is symbolic of the diner’s life.

4: Assorted stewed delicacies This comfort dish includes lots of ingredients, including shrimp, pork belly and hand-shredded cabbage.

The whole meal is meant to bring families together like a hearty stew. It also contains flavours that are satisfying to everyone.

“If you are looking for a positive start to the Chinese New Year, we hope these classic dishes will bring you good luck and prosperity,” said Kam. He added that lots of local Chinese families will fly back to their hometowns to enjoy the lavish meal with their friends and relatives.

Tony Kam, William Tse and Charlie Huang are promoting traditional Chinese dishes for New Year’s celebrations.

Eight activities drive out good fortune Valerie Leung VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Lunar New Year is the time for families to celebrate together and to bring in good luck for the New Year. However, there are taboos and superstitions that many people stay away from to avoid bad luck for the rest of the year.

Don’t wash and hair

clothes

Washing your clothes on the first and second day of celebrations should be avoided because the two days celebrate the water god’s birthday. The Chinese character for hair is the same character meaning “to become wealthy.” If someone washes their hair,

it is thought they are washing away their fortune.

Don’t cut your hair Similar to not washing your hair, cutting your hair is also a symbol of bad luck. When a person cuts their hair, it is associated with cutting off their good fortune. Hair cutting should take place a month before or after the lunar month.

Avoid borrowing money

It is believed that debts should be paid by Lunar New Year’s Eve and money should not be lent on New Year’s Day. If money is lent to others, it’s an unlucky omen of economic loss. On the other hand, if someone owes you money, don’t go to their home and demand it — that’s also unlucky for you.

White or black clothing is associated with funerals and mourning the dead.

The colours symbolize depression and inauspicious things. Wearing red or bright colours bring the best luck during New Year celebrations.

Lucky charms blend cultural symbols Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Maple Lane elementary students are creating Chinese New Year lucky charms by blending together elements from many different cultures.

About 75 students worked closely with their teacher Anne Mah over several days to come up with designs for the lucky symbols.

Morton Wu, a Grade 5 student, created a woman’s face by using various cultural symbols. Mah was full of praise for his work: “It’s the face of multiculturalism.”

Wu painted the Eye of Ra from ancient Egyptian mythology as well as Chinese coins for the eyes.

Above the eyes is a horseshoe, which in Irish culture is believed to keep evil spirits out of homes and bring in good fortune.

IN YOUR FAVOURITE FLAVOURS

“Canada is a multicultural country that I can meet people from everywhere. I want to bring different cultures together through the lucky charm,” said Wu, adding that he hopes to make everyone feel welcome and included.

Jiahui Li, another Grade 5 student, chose the Chinese knot and an upside-down Chinese character “Fu” (the phrase sounds identical to the words “Good luck arrives”).

$ 19 plus tax

each

And these are just a few examples.

Another student, who is also an English language learner, combined a Canadian loonie with Chinese cultural elements in his work, according to Mah.

“Children should be congratulated on their work. I am so proud of what they have done and the variety of creativity that they put in their work.

“I was amazed that (there is) so much symbolism behind things that I see and take for granted.”

Mah added students were not just talking about creating pretty symbols in the class, but also understanding the meanings of different cultures.

“Canada is a multicultural society; this project promoted inclusiveness by recognizing that all cultures have different lucky symbols.”

The lucky charm workshop is part of the 2020 LunarFest School Tour, which is operated by the Asian-Canadian Special Events Association (ACSEA), a non-profit organization that aims to create projects in the areas of arts and culture across Canada.

Members from the ACSEA have invited teachers and students from Vancouver and Richmond over the past three weeks to explore lucky charms from different cultures to celebrate the Chinese New Year together.

The most creative and decorative artworks will be displayed at Vancouver Art Gallery Plaza on Jan. 25 and 26 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Newcomers hand out gifts, snacks Immigrants express their gratitude by giving back Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM To kick off the Chinese New Year, Richmondite Angela Cao will spend an afternoon carrying on a tradition that she and her group have done for the last four years: handing out lucky red envelopes, snacks and Chinese handicrafts to the public at the Richmond-Brighouse Canada Line Station.

On Feb. 9, commuters and others will find Cao along with a slew of local volunteers at the station dressed in traditional Chinese costumes, handing out gifts.

“We are going to put up red lanterns and bring hundreds of gifts down there,” Cao said.

As one of the event organizers, Cao has been busy for the last few weeks collecting gifts from the local Chinese community for the upcoming street celebration, called “Cold winter, warm heart.”

Cao told the Richmond News that they have prepared dozens of red envelopes filled with chocolate coins and candies.

Meanwhile, cultural performances as well as Chinese-style brush-painting calligraphy demonstrations will be featured at the event.

Cao, who immigrated from Mainland China to Richmond as a skilled worker 20 years ago, said she hopes to bring people from various cultural backgrounds together through the event, while giving back to the community.

However, Cao’s son can now run faster and quicker than most students in his class with help from the medical system that helped him as a baby.

It’s incredible to see the community coming together to create a better future.

“As immigrants, we’ve benefited tremendously from the free public school and health care systems,” said Cao. “We are thankful for living in this country that we are privileged to call home.

Now it’s time for us to create a positive impact on the local society.”

During the past four years, Cao’s kindness and generosity have spread far and wide, encouraging more immigrants to join her initiative.

Cao recalled that because her son was born six weeks early, he didn’t know how to crawl or walk until local nurses taught him to do so.

“Our volunteer group grew from a few people to more than 40, and some Chinese immigrants have driven up with handmade handicrafts in their car. It’s incredible to see the community coming together to create a better future.”

A Richmond bird lover has discovered a novel way to feed her favourite hummingbirds during the frigid winter weather.

Worried when last week’s plunging temperatures froze the hummingbird feeders in her backyard, Susie Ang took to the Internet to solve the problem.

After bubble wrap failed to insulate the syrup solution in her garden — close to Blundell and Garden City roads — Ang followed a tip to wrap the feeders with Christmas lights.

And she was delighted when she came home from work during last week’s snowstorms to see her DIY heater plan had worked, with several hummingbirds buzzing around her stand.

“I was amazed; I was so happy that I had some little tears in my eyes,” laughed Ang, who has gotten to know two of the birds really well.

“I was concerned, because I noticed they were waiting over by the fence when it was frozen.

“There is a little heat coming from (the lights).

The birds were actually hanging around the lights for heat as well last week.”

Pointing to her regular visitor up on a tree close by, Ang said the little bird, thought to be of the Anna’s variety, is “kind of like my pet now.”

• Results of work to date and next steps for selecting a preferred long-term solution.

Ministry staff will be available to provide information and answer questions at the drop-in sessions scheduled for: Wednesday, February 5, 2020 Richmond Olympic Oval Legacy Lounge (3rd floor) 6111 River Road, Richmond, B.C. 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

“He’s here all the time, with a mate, I think.

He knows who I am. He comes right up, face to face almost.”

She’s now busy spreading the word on social media to all bird lovers in the city and beyond that the Christmas lights plan works.

Help the University of Guelph improve hearing g healthcare across Canada.

Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

Participants will be significantly adding to growing knowledge surrounding hearing loss.

This Saturday, Richmond-based Wigs for Kids BC will benefit from a big fundraiser, an annual cut-a-thon in Steveston.

From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Collective Beauty Studio on Moncton Street will host the event and staff will be donating their time to cut and style hair and do gel nail manicures, with all proceeds going to Wigs for Kids BC. Haircuts are a minimum donation of $40, gel manicures are $30 and, if you collect a minimum $40 in pledges, the cut is free.

On the same day across the street, the Steveston Seafood House will be hosting a brunch from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and dinner from 5 p.m. to closing, with partial proceeds going to Wigs for Kids.

The charity will collect some of the cut hair to make into free wigs for kids who have lost their hair due to cancer or other illnesses.

They also help families financially with the costs of feeding supplies and certain cancer medications not covered by MSP. One of them is Richmondite Sean Nolan, a North Vancouver firefighter who has been

growing his hair in honour of his sister, Audrey, who was diagnosed with leukaemia at three years old, before battling on for another four years until she died age seven.

“To experience the diagnosis of cancer in a child is an extremely heavy challenge for any family to face,” wrote Nolan.

“What is not very well known is the added financial burden associated with treatment.

“I’m doing this to help reduce the financial stress on the family so others don’t have to go through what Audrey went through (and) so children can have access to quality wigs, so they can be kids...It is a privilege to be honouring my sister in this way.”

Steveston-London’s Jhonelle Vergara soars to the basket in Saturday’s Bob Carkner Memorial Classic boys title game. The hosts Sharks defeated Hugh Boyd 77-60. Photo by Mark Booth watching teams guarding him because they don’t think he will shoot the three where he is actually our best percentage wise,” continued Stoneburgh. “He is a massive im-

portance to us. A bunch of teams don’t have 6-foot-6 big that can take away that drive to the hoop. He puts a lot of time into both aspects of the game.”

Jhonelle Vergara added 19 and Logan Nelson 13 on their way to earning first team all-star honours.

As for the Trojans, they came away with much more than a runner-up trophy. The province’s No. 6 ranked team at the 2A level knocked off a pair of 3A honourable mentions — Lord Byng (73-55) and Byrne Creek (80-73) — to reach the final. That difficult road seemed to have taken its toll by Saturday night in what was probably their worst shooting game of the season. Yet they still were within 12 points early in the fourth quarter.

Tim Carkner presented the MVP award to Jalen Johal.

Nick Berda, Jason Grewal and Cory Miester all were first team allstar selections. Payton Hinds scored

a team high 14 points while Grewal added 13.

Norm Schultz’s squad is a good bet to earn a provincial berth for the first time in recent memory. They also will be right in the mix as the host school at the Richmond Championships, joining the Sharks, MacNeill Ravens, McMath Wildcats and Richmond Colts as the top contenders.

“I think we are all worried about Boyd. They can stretch the floor with Jason, Nick and Payton on the outside and Cory on the inside,” added Stoneburgh whose squad launched a pivotal stretch of league play with an 84-72 road win over MacNeill on Monday night.

“I’m excited with what’s ahead.

You could see coaches and players (from other teams) in the stands tonight. It shows you have a program and they want to be prepared. It’s going to be fun and stressful too!”

Sharks at last breakthrough at Carkner Classic 9 Provincial Championships with the Sharks taking top honours.

Mark Booth

The Wildcats have bulked up their roster significantly by adding more underage talent including 6-foot-2 Grade 9 Marina Radocaj who attended a Basketball Canada ID camp last month.

MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The Steveston-London Sharks were collecting more than just tournament hardware on Saturday night.

The host school is girls champions for the first time in the history of the 12th annual Bob Carkner Memorial Classic after a 7657 win over the John Oliver Jokers.

It has helped McMath hold down the No. 3 spot in the last provincial 3A rankings while the Sharks were an honourable mention at one point and have an excellent chance at earning a provincial berth.

Besides the first place trophy and all-star awards, roses were also presented to graduating senior players in what turned out to be the Sharks’ final home game of the campaign, even though it’s only mid-January.

They are not part of the Richmond Senior Girls League for regular season play and will travel to McMath next week in a one game showdown to determine the top two seeds for next month’s city championships.

The decision was made to keep both provincially ranked schools out of the league to avoid lopsided results — something that has been far too frequent in recent years.

“We are thankful because we knew prior to the season this might happen so we got into a couple of tournaments in December

“We tried to schedule more exhibition games but it’s hard to travel out to other districts and what not. We do have a collection of games and they are actually good tournaments with some high 3A and other quality teams. So that’s how we are prepping for post season.”

Steveston-London reached the final of the Carkner Classic a year ago only to fall to McMath. The three-time defending champions passed on this year’s tournament but the teams are poised to meet three times over the next month.

The rivalry for a talented core of Grade 11 players goes back four years. The teams both reached the podium at the 2018 Grade

“McMath is always strong. We will have to bring a certain level of mentality and energy,” continued Chan. “Our defence and boxing out will be key because that’s where their size comes in. If we are not clearing out and using our bodies, we are going to lose that battle.”

Grade 11 standout guard Mina Chong fearlessly attacks the basket and is capable of scoring from anywhere on the floor. She had a game-high 26 in the Carkner final to nail down tournament MVP honours.

Shir Dayan added 17, while Dana Sander and Sharlene Siy had 11 each. The Steveston-London trio was named first team tournament all-stars.

Adding to Cohen’s ice time in a big way this winter is her decision to play ice hockey for the very first time.

MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Whether it’s stopping rings or pucks, Tayler Cohen is spending plenty of time in the goal crease these days.

The Grade 8 student at McNair Secondary is fresh off backstopping Delta’s U16A team to a semifinal appearance at Richmond Ringette’s 25th annual West Coast Classic.

She has established herself as one of the sport’s top stoppers for her age group in the region, having played for the Lower Mainland

pipes for Vancouver Coastal at the B.C. Winter Games in Fort St.

Richmond Ice Centre. “Probably since I first started playing ringette six or seven years ago I thought about playing hockey too.”

With already established goalies at her own Bantam age group, she is making her debut at the older Midget level for the Richmond Ravens C2 team. She is also often seeing double duty with the Ravens C1 squad.

Cohen adds it’s been an adjustment stopping the smaller pucks that are coming at her with more velocity. She says playing at the Midget age level actually is closer to the pace of play she sees on a regular basis at the U16A level in ringette.

“I didn’t do Lower Mainland ‘AA’ this year so it was an opportunity to play another sport and bond with other people too,” said Cohen, following her team’s semi-final loss to eventual champion Calgary at the

“Hockey is probably more aggressive with more back and forth play too,” she continued. “I’m going to keep doing both sports until the end of the season and eventually decide on one sport.”

Lilian was an independent, intelligent, witty woman who was a great listener, an outstanding storyteller and an even better card player. She was a snappy dresser and loved to shop! She would not hesitate to voice her opinion or hold her ground if anyone disagreed. Kind, caring, and considerate, she would always ask if she could help out where she could.
