Ratings not enough to keep local radio Eve Edmonds

EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

I’m not much of a sports fan, but I live with one, and the hours he’s spent listening to sports talk radio are...well...let’s just say a lot of chores could have been done in that time.

And while I don’t really get it, I know sports radio means a lot to a lot of folks. In fact, it garners a kind of loyalty that most of us in journalism can only dream of.

We saw that on full display Tuesday morning when in the middle of programing on TSN 1040 the station was abruptly yanked from the air with an announcement informing listeners (and staff) that the station, in its current form, would be “reprogrammed.”

Bell Media, which owns the station, aired the following recorded statement: “This was a difficult decision but the reality of the quickly evolving broadcast media landscape in Canada have made this

And just like that, the entire staff was let go. The tweets and social media posts came fast and furious.

The Vancouver station was just the latest in Bell’s sweep of layoffs across the country. Since the start of this month, it’s handed pink slips to more than 200 employees.

And while Bell was cancelling TSN 1040 (known as Team 1040) it was also cancelling its all-sports radio stations in Winnipeg and Hamilton.

There’s rich irony in the fact these layoffs have been happening at about the same time Bell has been running its Let’s Talk campaign to promote mental health. One might ask, if Bell cared so much about people’s mental health then it wouldn’t be ...yeah, I get it. There’s business and then there’s charity. Let’s not talk about how

one’s connected to the other.

one everywhere.

Another bit of salt for the wound is the fact Bell has received $122.9 million from the federal government in wage subsidies during the pandemic while continuing to pay out regular dividends to shareholders, according to lobbyist registries as reported in the Toronto Star.

It’s the cheapest possible way do “journalism” because, while local journalists don’t make a ton of money, hiring real people to talk to other real people in a real community is still more costly than playing a recording of the same canned content that’s being played everywhere else.

But what disturbs me most in all this is what will replace it.

I fear it was no coincidence that when our local hosts and commentators were shown the door on Tuesday morning, they were replaced with generic, Americanbased ESPN programming.

According to the Bell release, the channel in Hamilton will be rebranded as BNN Bloomberg radio, Vancouver and Winnipeg will go to comedy.

I’m not sure where those laughs are going to come from, but you can bet it won’t be local. And that’s the problem.

Bell is opting to streamline, in other words, provide the same content to every-

I appreciate the need to find efficiencies.

We’re doing that here at the News all the time. But I also appreciate the need to provide local content, not just because it’s good for us, but because people actually want it.

Team 1040 was a popular, highly-rated station, and the fact that’s not enough to ensure its survival speaks to something sorely amiss in supply/demand market forces.

We’ve seen this too often in local journalism where the supply/demand equation just doesn’t work, or maybe it would if we thought more critically about owner interests. Let’s Talk about that.

Basic income needed for youth Dear Editor,

Re: “Expert panel recommends basic income for former youth in care,” Column, Richmond-News. com, Feb. 6.

Good article on basic income for youth aging out of government care.

They definitely need it, especially during this pandemic. It took me three times to move out of my parents’ house in Saskatchewan to finally be emancipated at 24 and live here in Richmond now at 58.

They moved out here also and no regrets.

Basic income I think should have been here long ago and it looks like it will be brought in sooner than later.

Thank you for writing this article.

Guns or cars, which is more dangerous?

Dear Editor, Re: “Shooting proximity raises questions,” Column, Jan. 14.

In your recent column about a gun murder, you said “many” innocent people have been “taken out” by stray bullets.

To say “many” is a gross exaggeration from the statistics I’ve seen. I’d say more people have died by drowning than by stray bullets. Do they even keep serious statistics on stray bullets?

What’s with you and this anti-gun attitude? Did you have a relative who was killed by a bullet — stray or aimed?

I’ve discussed the insurance angle with an insurance agent and he told me that the cost of insurance for gun owners is much lower than the cost of similar insurance for car owners.

So, who does the insurance company/s think it is the most dangerous?

It seems to me they are the best people to know that — not an emotional woman reporter who’s biased.

Paid Communication

Dunfee is a worldclass example to all Dear Editor, Re: “Richmond Olympian rails at idea of athletes jumping vaccine queue,” News, Jan. 14.

During these COVID-19 times, it is becoming very clear who are the heroes and who are the “zeros.”

The distinction is never more obvious than when reading your article about Olympic athlete Evan Dunfee and then watching the news reports about the $10 million dollar a year ex-casino boss who travelled up north with his wife to jump the queue to get their COVID-19 vaccination.

Evan’s rejection of the suggestion that Olympic athletes get COVID-19 vaccinations ahead of others so that they can compete in this summer’s Tokyo Olympics, demonstrates that he is not only a world class athlete — he is a world class person.

Evan — I hope you get to compete this summer in the Tokyo Olympics. You have worked long and hard for this opportunity. Thanks for being an inspiration to young athletes, and a COVID-19 role model to adults.

Serious assaults By-election pegged up last month at $716,000

Crash sends elderly woman to hospital Kirsten Clarke

KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The number of serious assaults in December in Richmond tripled from a year earlier but overall crime is down in the city.

An elderly woman is in hospital in serious condition after she was struck by a vehicle on Railway Avenue on Feb. 4.

Richmond RCMP report there were 25 serious assaults in December, an increase of almost 80 per cent from November and three times as many as in December 2019.

Richmond RCMP said they responded to a report of a pedestrian collision near the intersection of Railway Avenue and Lancing Road around 5:30 p.m.

Thirty-two per cent of these serious assaults were domestic, but police say they have not noticed any patterns or trends in the violence.

The woman had been hit by a grey GMC sport utility vehicle and was taken to hospital in serious but stable condition. The driver remained on scene and was cooperative with police.

These statistics are part of the Richmond RCMP’s monthly report that went to council’s community safety meeting this week.

Poor visibility and weather were factors in the crash, RCMP said. Alcohol and speed were not.

“This was a tragic incident for everyone involved,” said Cpl. Ian Henderson, Richmond RCMP spokesperson.

“What makes it even more sad is that it was completely preventable. Whether we are drivers or pedestrians, we all have a part to play in promoting pedestrian safety.”

Anyone who witnessed the collision or has dashcam footage is asked to contact Richmond Mounties at 604278-1212, quoting file number 21-3291. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-

Crime overall, however, was down in Richmond in 2020, including residential break-and-enters, robberies, shoplifting and theft from cars.

Property crime was down 14 per cent overall in 2020 compared to 2019 and drug-related offences were down 20 per cent.

The report notes that, of the four largest RCMP detachments (Richmond, Coquitlam, Burnaby and Surrey), Richmond had the lowest violent crime rate and the second lowest property crime rate in 2020.

A by-election, expected this spring, to replace former Richmond city Coun. Kelly Greene was pegged at $716,000 by city staff, a cost one councillor called “way too high.”

Coun. Carol Day questioned the high cost of a by-election given it would probably have low voter turnout. She suggested scaling back on the election, for example, having fewer polling stations and less communication.

“I think we should cut this budget by 50 per cent,” Day told the finance committee, adding that $360,000 should be “more than enough.”

Coun. Bill McNulty pointed out council was just given a figure for the by-election cost but not a budget.

While the city’s solicitor, Tony Capuccinello Iraci, said much of the election is determined by legislation, Mayor Malcolm Brodie said it doesn’t necessarily mean writing a blank cheque for the chief elections officer.

In the end, the item was sent back to staff for further analysis of the cost breakdown.

Brakes applied to Food-hub to aid farmers Capstan rezoning Maria Rantanen

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

per cent to 10 per cent.

Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond city council put the brakes on a large development in Capstan this week until it has rental housing policies in place.

In the meantime, council moved forward with a master plan for Lansdowne Shopping Centre with assurance from city staff that the number of rental housing units will be determined later.

City council voted 6-2 on Monday to hold off on making a decision on the Polygon Talisman development at Garden City and Cambie roads until two long-awaited reports on rental housing are completed.

Coun. Harold Steves said the upcoming policy on rental housing would provide a “reasonable plan” with required percentages of both affordable and market rental housing.

That way, the requirements would be consistent for all rezoning applications.

“I certainly don’t think that the amount of market rental housing or affordable housing in this (Capstan) plan is enough,” Steves added.

The Capstan rezoning received unanimous support last week at council’s planning committee, but after considerable pressure from the Richmond Rental Housing Advocacy Group, the majority of council was willing to take a step back and wait for city staff to bring back the new policy on market rentals.

Under the city’s affordable housing strategy, 10 per cent of the residential portion of the development was required to be zoned for affordable rental housing.

Currently, there is an incentive-based policy for market rental housing, and the proposed 120 market rental units proposed at the Capstan development are the result of a “sitespecific negotiation,” staff said.

I think somewhere between 25 to 50 per cent, combined, would be a good starting point for discussion (on rental).

The developer proposed nearly 1,300 residential units, when fully built out: 120 market rental units (units built and zoned specifically for rentals), 156 affordable or below-market rental units and 1,014 market strata condos for sale.

Vanprop, owner of Lansdowne Shopping Centre, is planning about 4,000 homes along with retail, parks and community amenities. It is developing in seven phases and each section will be rezoned individually, at which point housing types — including how much market rental and affordable rental — will be determined during that process.

Steves pointed out council learned its lesson with Richmond Centre, which was rezoned decades ago.

Because it was fully rezoned in one go, council couldn’t ask for any changes when the mall’s owner, Cadillac Fairview, finally started developing; however, Cadillac Fairview did agree to raise the number of affordable units from five

CHAK AU

Coun. Chak Au said he would like to see a larger percentage of the development zoned for market and affordable rental units.

“I think somewhere between 25 to 50 per cent, combined, would be a good starting point for discussion.”

He added he would also like to see a “proportional ratio” of rental units in new developments — meaning larger developments would have a greater number of rental units.

“That’s what I would advocate for instead of a fixed percentage for all developments. For example, in this Polygon Talisman development, because there are over one thousand (strata condos), perhaps we should ask for the maximum percentage (of rental) which could be 50 per cent.”

John Roston, co-ordinator of the Richmond Rental Housing Advocacy Group, said he would like to see 65 per cent of the development zoned for market rental.

The two rental policy reports will likely be back at council by the second quarter, according to city staff.

Couns. Alexa Loo and Linda McPhail voted against sending the application back.

A farming advocacy group is asking Richmond city council to consider creating a food hub where farmers could make value-added products.

Council has updated the city’s farming strategy, and Richmond FarmWatch, an agricultural advocacy group, suggested council start exploring creating a facility that could be used by farmers — or other food processors — to increase the value of their products and allow them to sell them commercially.

Laura Gillanders, speaking on behalf of Richmond FarmWatch, said there’s a “great need” to get facilities where farmers can process the food they grow, and “without licenced food processing facilities, farmers don’t have a way to get value-added products to the market.”

The province launched a pilot project, called B.C. Food Hub Network, about three years ago, creating food processing facilities with equipment, shared kitchens, storage and distribution facilities and packaging equipment.

2nd TMH proposed Community Builders, a non-profit, has been chosen to manage a temporary modular housing (TMH) complex close to the Bridgeport Canada Line Station for 40 people who are homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.

The temporary modular building is expected to be built this year and will have two full-time staff on-site at all times as well as other workers.

The building’s construction and operations will be funded by BC Housing.

A temporary use permit will be in front of council next week to use a lot currently zoned commercial at Smith Street and Bridgeport Road for the building.

In its report to council, city staff point out statistics have shown temporary modular housing buildings don’t have an impact on community safety.

A public hearing on the permit will be held on March 15 at Richmond City Hall.

Passive homes get active attention from council

The City of Richmond is considering lowering permit fees and allowing more density for home builders who construct energyefficient houses.

Council will look at incentives that can be offered to builders to build “passive houses” – homes that need minimal energy for heating and cooling. This is in anticipation of new building rules required by the province that all homes are built to high energyefficient standards by 2025.

Because it’s about 10-per-cent more costly to build an energy-efficient home – materials are more expensive and consultation with energy specialists is needed – city staff have suggested allowing more density and reduced or waived building permit fees.

Builders who are constructing certified passive homes will have 100 per cent of their fees waived.

Density bonusing would be 10 per cent of the floor area, to a maximum of 500 square feet.

Passive houses are built so they need very little energy to maintain 20 degrees Celsius even during winter months. They use enhanced insulation, reduce energy transfer through materials, use solar and other heat gains and are highly airtight.

The first inspiration for passive houses was a house built in 1977 in Regina, Sask.

The first pilot passive homes were built in Germany in 1990.

B.C.’s first passive house was Austria House in Whistler, constructed for the 2010 Olympics.

So far in B.C., 34 certified Passive House projects have been completed with others awaiting certification.

City staff worked with Passive House Canada on researching and coming up with the incentive program.

City council will look at the passive-house incentive program at next week’s general purposes meeting.

“I know from experience that when you are on the path to recover, having a supportive environment makes a world of difference,” he said in a statement. “We know there is more to do, but these four beds will allow more people to recover and in turn become role models for others who are strug-

gling.”

and one for women.

Turning Point Recovery Society is receiving just over $1 million from the province to fund the four new Richmond beds, two new beds at its North Shore facility and to convert five beds at its Vancouver facility from private-pay to publicly funded.

The beds are part of the $13 million in funding announced last fall for more than 100 treatment beds across B.C.

Turning Point operates two recovery homes in Richmond — one for men

Forty-six of the beds, including the four in Richmond, are new spaces in existing treatment and recovery locations, while the remaining ones are private beds that will be converted to fully funded public beds.

Input sought for new centre in Steveston Residents can watch the building’s design evolve based on their feedback during online design sessions with the architect.

Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The first design session took place virtually on Wednesday. The next ones are Thursday, Feb. 11 and Friday, Feb. 12, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Pre-registration is not required.

The City of Richmond is asking its residents for help designing a new community centre and library complex in Steveston.

The new 60,350 sq. ft. facility will be just east of the existing and aging Steveston Community Centre and Branch Library.

The project is estimated to cost $93.5 million and is part of the city’s 2022 capital plan.

Originally, the cost was pegged at about $110 million, but the current plan is to keep the outdoor pool and net shed and not rebuild them, hence bringing down the cost.

The new community centre will have six multi-purpose rooms, three meeting rooms and several specific program rooms.

Because it is being built beside the existing centre, regular recreation

Steveston Community Centre and library will be rebuilt and the city is asking for input from the public on its design. File photo and library programming can continue during construction.

To come up with a concept design and to assess current and future needs of the community, the city is undergoing a public engagement process.

Due to COVID-19, this is taking place online.

Richmond, is hitting out, claiming the hotel in question has started a round of “mass firings.”

Zailda Chan, president of Unite Here Local 40, blasted the apparent move at the Pacific Gateway on Cessna Drive, near YVR, which is currently being used by the federal government to quarantine passengers arriving at the airport.

Having little or no communication with hotel management, the union has found it difficult to get an idea of how many workers — many long-term staff — have been permanently let go.

Up to 120 of the 150 unionized staff were temporarily laid off at the start of the pandemic, but still had extended rights until the end of January this year

to return to work, if needed by the hotel.

A skeleton crew of workers is understood to be keeping the hotel running, while the Richmond News was told by the union last fall that Red Cross workers were looking after the quarantined hotel guests on behalf of the government.

“The depths to which the industry will go to undermine the job security of women and immigrant workers is astounding,” said Chan.

“All the industry’s talk about being in this together is nothing more than lip service to lobby the government for more relief.

The backbone of the hotel industry is women — many of them immigrants who have invested years in

these hotels while supporting families and communities on these jobs.

“Now, they are being discarded like workers out of a 19th century garment factory. Workers will be taking action to stop the industry’s attack on women and immigrant workers.

No one should lose their job because of the pandemic.”

As well as the Pacific Gateway, the union claimed the same move was being made at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown.

Both hotels, said Chan, have refused to bring workers back when the industry recovers.

The News reached out to the Pacific Gateway for comment but has not received a reply.

Traditions around lucky red pocket Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

If there’s one thing children and unmarried people look forward to every Lunar New Year, it would be the lucky red pocket filled with money.

The lucky red pocket is one of the most recognizable symbols of the Asian celebration, and like its name suggests, it’s a red envelope usually decorated with the Chinese character for luck or decorative drawings with the Chinese zodiac in gold.

Francis Ang, a long-time Richmond resident, said red pockets have always been a symbol of good luck during Lunar New Year.

“It’s a tradition passed down by Asian families for as long as I can remember,” said Ang. The tradition of giving red pockets with money inside evolved from old Chinese folklore that warned of an evil spirit by the name of Sui who would enter the rooms of children on New Year’s Eve. It would pat the children’s head three times and the following morning the child would wake up

with a terrible fever.

After learning about Sui, parents would often stay up on New Year’s Eve and light candles to protect their children from its touch. One year, a couple gave their child a coin to play with, hoping it would entertain the child and keep it awake so as to not be touched by Sui.

Lunar New Year was often his favourite time of year because of the red pocket.

“I’ve received red pockets for as long as I could remember when I was a kid, and I would be very excited because, in those days, we were quite poor. Lunar New Year was the only time we got money from our parents,” said Ang.

However, the child fell asleep just before midnight. Sui entered the child’s room, He told the RichFrancis Ang blew out the candle mond News that Submitted photo and reached for the when he lived in child, but the coin Malaysia, he and suddenly flashed and other children in the scared the spirit away to never return. same apartment complex would go to their Over time, families tied eight coins to- neighbours and wish them a Happy Lunar gether with red thread for luck. The red New Year in hopes of receiving more red thread was eventually replaced with red pockets. envelopes.

Ang, who grew up in Malaysia, said the

“After we got our red pockets, we would take the money and sit in a corner and

gamble,” Ang added. “Chinese New Year was really the only time we could gamble as kids and our parents wouldn’t scold us.”

The money inside the red pocket is welcome, but that’s not actually what brings luck. Rather, luck comes from the red envelope itself. The colour red is the symbol of happiness, wealth and luck in Asian cultures hence most Lunar New Year decorations are that colour.

“Giving the red pocket is a sign of passing on good luck to others and wishing them happiness,” Ang said.

Because red pockets are considered “lucky” symbols, there are some rules when giving and receiving them.

•

Never give wrinkled, old or dirty bills, or unlucky amounts of cash such as anything with the number four.

•

Avoid putting coins in the envelopes, bills should be the only thing in there.

•

Always use two hands to receive your envelope.

•

Don’t open the envelope in front of the gifter.

Be thankful.

Centuries-old fashion takes the stage Nono Shen

NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Young artists dressed in traditional Chinese costumes will welcome the Year of the Ox in a virtual performance celebrating Lunar New Year.

The online event, When West Meets East: Chinese Instruments Meet Pop Music, will be live-streamed from the Richmond-based auction house YKLM from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 14.

Those interested in traditional Chinese culture can enjoy the show from their couches for free.

“We have invited young Chinese music professionals who have a deep understanding of both Chinese and Western culture to overturn people’s first impression of Chinese cultural performances,” said Jennifer Liu, the director of Vancouver Hanfu Culture Society, a non-profit founded by a group of UBC students in autumn 2011.

The group has since expanded to 700 members including university students

and their parents.

The event will feature Chinese folk dances, instrumental performances as well as exclusive arrangements, one of which combines Chinese musical elements with a popular Japanese anime song.

Bringing this all to life will be performers dressed in Hanfu, the ancient clothing worn by the ethnic-majority Han people before the Qing dynasty in China, according to Liu. Hanfu has recently become more noticeable in China, with more enthusiasts promoting Hanfu culture via social media.

The centuries-old clothing has gone from a fashion style to a social movement with more young people wearing it on the streets to take photos.

Hanfu costumes, the traditional clothing worn by the ethnic-majority Han people in China, will be featured in an upcoming, virtual Lunar New Year performance. Submitted photos

Liu said they hope to introduce the beauty of Hanfu and the traditional Chinese culture to a broader audience.

The event will also be live-streamed on YouTube.

What will the world face this year?

China will further open up to the world in several industries, such as finance, insurance, retail and automobile. Although China will receive criticism for its Belt and Road Initiative (a global infrastructure development strategy adopted by the Chinese government in 2013 to invest in nearly 70 countries and international organizations to support economic connectivity), the initiative will facilitate China’s gradual path to becoming an international leader.

Sherman Tai In the year of Ox, the world is in a fluid situation, fraught with uncertainty. Aside from COVID-19 and political unrest (such as the Hong Kong anti-extradition law movement), we will see turmoil, man-made disasters and natural disasters this year.

This is the 31st year that I have been working on Feng Shui (Chinese geomancy). Reviewing the past predictions, I can accurately anticipate what will happen in the coming year.

The economy is staggering from crisis to crisis, and all walks of life are going through tough times as competition becomes more intense.

However, if we do our best, follow the rules and strive for excellence, we can turn risk into opportunity. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel and make justice prevail. As the new year begins, let us also start anew.

The political situation is still in a state of confusion as countries advance their na-

Sherman Tai is offering his predictions on what the world could face in the upcoming Year of the Ox. Submitted photo tional interests by subjugating others. It seems we will reach a relatively harmonious stage but suspicion among countries will still exist.

There is a Chinese saying that goes, “A mountain cannot hide two tigers.”

The prestige of the powerful United States

has been challenged by China; in the end, neither side gained. In addition, some traditional international systems and national agreements have been destroyed. This will continue, but the situation will smooth out as both countries seek a win-win situation by end of 2022.

There will be many international disputes in the year of Ox. Thus, operation costs will rise, stocks will go up and down, and interest increase. People’s lives will be filled with untold suffering. It can be seen from the stars that a male leader, celebrity or artist will be involved in a serious accident or even scandal.

The former president of the United States, Donald Trump, will lose his standing and fall from grace.

In 2019, I predicted that there will be serious flu, virus, fire accident in 2020. Unfortunately, it all became true.

In 2021, please also be aware of severe influenza, natural disasters, as well as war between the Middle East and Africa.

Get fed, get lucky in the Lunar New Year Eight foods that are forecast to bring good fortune this year Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Lunar New Year is a time for friends and families to reconnect and bring good luck to the New Year.

In Asian cultures, there are many dishes and foods that are symbolic of good health and wealth.

Fish A whole fish is a staple dish for New Year celebrations in Asia. It symbolizes prosperity and brings good luck to the family for an entire year. It’s customary to serve the fish with the head and tail intact but only eat the middle part of the fish. This comes from an expression that is translated “to have both a head and a tail” which means for an individual to be disciplined and finish everything they start.

Chicken A whole chicken is also often served and represents family togetherness. Some believe a chicken also represents rebirth. Chicken is traditionally offered to deceased ancestors for blessings and protection.

Spring rolls When you look at spring rolls closely, they resemble gold bars and are eaten to attract good fortune for the coming year. The Chinese name for spring rolls refers to the spring season and celebrates the upcoming spring of the New Year.

Dumplings Families often wrap their own dumplings together until midnight of the Lunar New Year to signify leaving the old year behind them. The shape of a dumpling resembles Chinese gold ingots, which are oval and boat-

shaped. Some Chinese families have a tradition of hiding a coin in one of the dumplings and whoever receives that dumpling will have a lucky year.

Noodles Noodles that are exceptionally long represent a long life. It’s customary to slurp the noodles without chewing them so you don’t break the noodles and possibly shorten one’s life.

Noodles are also eaten on birthdays.

Glutinous rice cake (Nian gao) Glutinous rice cake is the main dessert eaten during the New Year. The Chinese name “nian gao” directly translates to “New Year’s cake” which also sounds similar to the words “tall” or “to grow.” Eating the glutinous rice cake is believed to help one grow in health, income, career or even height.

Sweet rice balls (Tangyuan) This dessert is a small round dumpling made from glutinous rice flour and is usually eaten on the 15th day of the new year. The dish is eaten for Lunar New Year celebrations because its Chinese name sounds similar to the words meaning “togetherness” or “reunion.” The rice balls are usually filled with black sesame, red bean or peanut pastes and are normally served in a bowl of warm, sweet soup.

Fruits There are certain fruits that are eaten during the Lunar New Year period. Any fruit that is round and golden in colour symbolizes wealth and fullness. Fruits such as tangerines, oranges and pomelos (similar to a sweet grapefruit) fall into this category. Tangerines and oranges are also believed to bring good luck, while pomelos bring continuous prosperity.

Cooking with Colin: Pineapple chicken Ingredients: 3 medium-sized chicken breasts, skinned, deboned and cut into cubes

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond resident, actor and chef Colin Foo introduces yet another dish to welcome the Lunar New Year, hoping it will bring luck and prosperity to everyone this year.

2 tbsp. light soya sauce 1 tsp. salt and white pepper 3-4 small chopped

Foo said his pineapple chicken recipe is a “very easy dish” that even beginners can make.

1/2 cup of pineapple juice from the same can

But while the dish is easy, there’s a secret to the sauce -- time. Marinating the chicken is the most important step, he explained.

2-3 tbsp. cooking oil 1½ tbsp. tapioca powder

“You need the flavour to seep into the chicken, so leaving it in the fridge for six hours or even overnight would be great.”

1 heaping tbsp. of granulated white sugar 1 heaped tbsp. lime/lemon juice

The colour yellow, from the pineapples in the recipe, is a very symbolic colour for Chinese New Year and is often used as an imperial colour in traditional Chinese culture, according Foo.

Optional: chopped chives/cilantro Method:

In addition, the word yellow in Mandarin sounds very similar to “king” as well as “prosperity,” which can also attract good fortune to your household.

Colin Foo shows off his home made pineapple chicken dish.

Foo said he hopes readers will enjoy the dish that has a sweet and tangy taste, similar to sweet and sour pork.

Plants promise love, health, wealth Nono Shen

NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Families and shopkeepers from Chinese cultural backgrounds in Richmond always buy their favourite lucky plants for their homes and offices during the Lunar New Year celebration.

Feng Shui, also known as Chinese geomancy, is the

practice of creating a sense of harmony and balance with the natural world in our interior spaces.

The Richmond News spoke with Richmondite Ming Wu, who specializes in the gardening business, to offer insight into plants that can help you find ecological balance while also bringing you a dose of good fortune.

Plants that can bring a home good luck: Calamondin Orange trees As the owner of Garden in Gardens, a Richmond nurs-

ery, Wu said he used to send a three-foot-tall orange tree to Richmond City Hall upon the arrival of the Lunar New Year.

Although the longstanding tradition couldn’t be continued this year due to the pandemic, as city hall remains largely closed to the public, many shoppers are still buying orange trees to mark the new year.

Mandarin oranges play an important role in Chinese culture.

Older generations always have a lot of oranges for children and families when they visit over the holiday, said Wu. “In Cantonese, the pronunciation of ‘mandarin oranges’ sounds similar to ‘auspiciousness,’” Wu said.

Oranges symbolize a fruitful and abundant year in Chinese culture.

The calamondin orange tree symbolizes a fruitful and abundant year. According to Wu, these small trees grow well indoors with moist soil and four to six hours of direct daily sunlight.

Peach blossom It might sound absurd that a peach blossom could be used to attract love, said Wu, but in Chinese culture, many single people hoping to find a loved one will display peach blossoms in their bedrooms.

Sometimes peach blossoms are used to attract likeminded friends as well.

However, the peach blossom is also the favourite of many business owners as they are known for attracting clients.

One thing to keep in mind before purchasing peach blossoms is they can grow fairly big in size and take up space, added Wu. Orchids As one of the most popular and well-known Lunar New Year plants, orchids are always associated with “elegance, abundance, innocence and fertility,” explained Wu, adding there is a wide variety of orchids out there, but you can never go wrong — they are all good.

It’s easy to take care of orchids as they can last several months with enough watering, brightening up your home.

Narcissus The narcissus, also known as the Chinese sacred lily, symbolizes prosperity and good fortune, which is an ideal gift for friends and family during the Lunar New Year celebration, said Wu, noting the most special thing about the narcissus is it smells like candy.

Wu suggests people who are interested in narcissi buy them closer to Lunar New Year, so they will be in full bloom at the right time.

Wishing luck with traditional symbols Valerie Leung

Couplets express happiness and hope for the upcoming year.

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Whether it is a four-leaf clover or a rabbit’s foot, everyone has their own trinket that represents good luck and Lunar New Year is no different.

Here are eight symbols or items that bring good luck to families during Lunar New Year celebrations: Chinese symbol for luck One of the most popular Chinese symbols of good luck during Lunar New Year is the Chinese character “fu” for good luck and fortune. The symbol is often written in black, or printed in gold, on a red background. It is said the symbol brings in positive energy and happiness when hung in homes and in the centre of a door. Some Asian cultures also tape their “fu” characters upside down because the character becomes the Chinese word for “arrive” which symbolizes that happiness has arrived.

Three Chinese Lucky Coins Three Chinese lucky coins tied with a red ribbon is said to bring good fortune. The coins are supposed to be placed in the

southeast corner of your home or carried inside a purse to bring in wealth.

Bamboo plants Bamboo, the symbol of strength in Asian cultures, signifies the wish for a strong life filled with prosperity. Plants are often sold with different numbers of stalks.

Two stalks represent love, three for happiness, wealth and long life, five for areas of life that impact wealth, six for good luck, seven for health, eight for growth, nine for great luck, 10 for perfection and 21 for a powerful blessing.

known items is the lucky red envelope with money. They are used for gift-giving and traditionally are given by married couples to those younger than them as a symbol of good luck.

Mystic Knots Mystic knots are often used as decorations to represent happiness and eternity.

Each knot consists of six infinity knots tied together, which represents never-ending luck. They can be hung on their own as a keychain or paired with other lucky symbols and decorations.

Spring couplets Couplets are red-coloured strips usually with black or gold Chinese characters written on them. The couplets are used as decorations to express happiness and hope for the upcoming year. Longer vertical couplets

are usually taped to the side of the door, a smaller horizontal couplet above the door and a diamond-shaped couplet is taped in the middle of the door.

Plum and peach blossoms

Fruit blossoms are often used to decorate houses during Lunar New Year. The plum and peach blossoms symbolize the start of a cycle for a plentiful crop of fruit later in the year. Peach blossoms symbolize long life, romance and prosperity which many single people look for. Meanwhile, plum blossoms symbolize a reliable person who won’t give up during difficult times.

Red Chinese lanterns Red lanterns, often hung in pairs, symbolize life and a prosperous business in Chinese culture. It is said hanging them is to “light the way” for the family’s “kitchen god” — a spiritual being that reports to celestial gods about the family and then will reward or punish families based on the report. Red lanterns help the kitchen god find the door to their house on the way back from their journey. Make sure to not hang the lantern at the centre of the door or it will block the positive energy coming in and the negative energy leaving.

Shadow puppets herald Lunar New Year Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Gateway Theatre is hoping to bring some light and creativity to these dreary times with two shadow puppetry workshops as part of the 2021 Lunar New Year celebrations.

Children and families are invited to join the theatre’s virtual workshops, led by Toronto-based artist Annie Katsura Rollins, to learn the history of Chinese shadow puppetry as well as how to make their own paper theatres.

Jasmine Chen, artistic and community producer at Gateway Theatre, said the main goal of the workshops is to brighten up this year’s Lunar New Year celebrations by focusing on bringing light to the “past year where there has been a lot of darkness.”

“Lunar New Year and the theme of using light and shadows is such a big part of lantern culture, which symbolizes finding that light in the darkness,” said Chen.

“Celebrations for this event always fall in the middle of the Canadian winter,

Annie Katsura Rollins will lead shadow puppetry workshops during Lunar New Year celebrations via Richmond Gateway Theatre.

Submitted photos where days are shorter and darker, so we are excited in finding light and creative play in these dreary times.”

Chinese shadow puppetry is a centuries-old form of storytelling in which twodimensional puppets are held between a light source and a screen (or scrim) to create silhouetted figures which act out the story.

Traditionally, shadow puppets are made

of hide — animal skin — and paint, but in Rollins’ workshops, families will use materials that can be found around the house such as paper and markers.

Chen told the Richmond News they wanted to find a creative way to offer a fun, interactive and cultural workshop that allowed families to celebrate together while respecting pandemic restrictions.

“We wanted to continue this theme of

paper puppetry and continue exploring these forms of puppetry from different cultures,” said Chen, adding they started the idea of paper theatres back during Halloween last year.

The workshops will be held Feb. 15 and 21 via Zoom and require a $5 admission fee per household.

The Feb. 15 workshop will be offered in English and is geared towards kids aged eight to 12.

The Feb. 21 workshop will be offered in English with a Mandarin language interpreter.

What will the Ox bring for you in the Lunar New Year?

Year of the Ox predictions: The Rat Best piece of advice we can give you this year: if you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done! Whether you’re looking for luck in love, career, finances, health or something else, this is your year to take a leap of faith in your capabilities. Go forth and conquer!

Lucky numbers: 5, 7 Lucky colours: Yellow, brown The Ox Has anyone ever told you, “if you put your mind to it, you can do anything you want?” Well, this is especially true for you this year. If you have good enough reasons, you can do the most incredible things! Whether you’re improv-

ing your health, wealth or finding love, put your mind to it and you’ll achieve your goals.

Lucky numbers: 8, 9 Lucky colours: Green, blue The Tiger As some great philosopher once said, “You are what you think.” Or was that “You are what you eat”? Either way, this saying ties up 2021 nicely for you. If you’re facing challenges this year, stop and consider if it’s all in your head.

Approach problems with new angles — you might be surprised with the results.

Lucky numbers: 6, 9 Lucky colours: White, silver The Rabbit Relationships and partnerships are the core focus for 2021 for those born in the year

of the Rabbit. It’s the year for you to shine. Be ambitious, but also relax and reduce tensions in your life. Pursue the things you love doing and do them so well people can’t take their eyes off you!

The Dragon 2021 has one refrain for dragons, and that is one of change! Nonconformist ideas, career changes, luck in love and wealth… you name it, something will change.

Lucky numbers: 5, 9 Lucky colours: Green, brown The Snake Good luck and

fortune is in store for those born in the year of the snake in 2021.

The Ram 2021’s telling Rams to put yourself first this year.

You can’t live your life for other people. You’ve got to do what’s right for you. This year may bring unexpected changes and surprises, but just know your support system will always be there for you, no matter what. Prioritize self care, Rams!

Lucky numbers: 1, 7

The Horse After a year (or years!) of instability, 2021 promises to stabilize relationships, partnerships and even finances. But it requires Horses to pay close attention to things that matter: from partners to finances, your ambitions will only take flight if you take the time to understand your inner struggles. Be kind to yourself this year!

Lucky numbers: 3, 6 Lucky colours: Purple, gold

Lucky colours: Yellow, gold The Monkey If you’ve felt like there’s something missing in your life, 2021 may be the year to repair it.

COVID quirks brought couple together in to get some work done on her bike,” Chong recalled.

Alan Campbell

Few people would disagree that the pandemic has wreaked more than its fair share of misery, misfortune and inconvenience.

“I made a joke to her about her bike being stolen outside and she took it well. She mentioned she was going to the hair salon while her bike was being fixed, but that she didn’t have a mask.

And when it comes to romance during the era of COVID-19, the chances of finding love have been slim to none, given the public health order restrictions on socializing.

“I had a new one in my bag at my bike and we went outside and I gave it to her.

We chatted and she mentioned she was going on a group bike ride and she extended the invitation to me.”

But if there ever was a case of the stars aligning to bring two 40-something singletons together, Richmond’s Eugene Chong and New Westminster’s Alex Vrabec cracked it.

When Chong got home, he wasted no time in looking for the bike group online and then found Vrabec on Facebook.

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

If it wasn’t for the pandemic, 48-year-old Chong would never have lost his job and likely wouldn’t have devoted his newfound free time to motorcycling.

If COVID hadn’t hit global travel hard last summer, 46-year-old Vrabec would have been off on a European vacation with her family, instead of learning to ride a motorbike.

And if there was no health crisis, Chong wouldn’t have had a new, spare face mask on his bike to offer Vrabec — which she

“The first day I met him, he gave me advice on how to install a headset into my helmet and then we decided to go for something to eat (when restrictions were less severe),” said Vrabec.

“This was completely unexpected. I wasn’t looking for anything, it was total chance.

Talk about fate. And all on a Tuesday, apparently.

“What caught my attention was the fact he made fun of me a little bit and I thought, ‘wow, that’s pretty ballsy.’ And at dinner, it was really relaxed and felt very comfortable.”

“I was in the (bike) shop and I saw Alex come in. It was a Tuesday I think. She was

Both Chong and Vrabec had been single for several years and neither was on the

lookout for love.

But it sure found them; they moved in together just a couple of months after that fateful bumping into each other at the bike shop.

“I think it was at dinner for me that I realized how cool she was to talk to and how many similar interests we had,” added Chong.

“I wasn’t really looking (for anyone), I was just taking it as it comes. I was happy by myself, it wasn’t a priority.

“But it happened very quickly and was very natural.”

As for challenges in kicking off a new relationship during a pandemic, both Chong and Vrabec seem completely unfazed and have actually welcomed the bizarre situation we all find ourselves in.

“Actually, we’ve rather enjoyed it, it’s allowed us to spend time together, without distractions,” said Chong.

The couple met each other’s parents many months ago and their relationship has been blossoming ever since.

Vrabec added that she was “at the age when you know what’s right and I knew it was the time to go for it. I knew it was right for me.”

Kajaks’ ‘legend’ Moseley calls it a career Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Some time in 1980, Moseley Jack turned up a Richmond elementary school track meet with his son and daughter, as he had done countless times before.

Jack, a school teacher at the time, had zero experience as an athletics coach and had absolutely no intention of taking up a coaching role at the local Kajaks club.

But later that same day, a blunt conversation with the club’s head coach at the time led to Jack — an immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago in 1959 — spending the next

41 years honing the skills of the club’s younger athletes and earning himself the tag as a Kajaks’ legend in the process.

“We just played cricket and soccer, I knew very little about track and field.”

“I was sort of dragged into it, to an extent,” laughed Moseley, now 84, who recently announced his retirement from coaching.

Moseley Jack has been coaching at the Kajaks for 41 years, despite starting with zero track and field experience.

“The head coach said, ‘you’re here with your kids, you might as well help us while you’re here, we need coaches.’ I said, ‘sure, I’ll give it a try.’

“I started right there and then as the long distance coach. I had no experience, except running from the police.

Jack first came to Canada, age 23, to study at UBC, initially with designs on becoming a doctor, before ending up in teaching, which eventually took him east to Kamloops.

But it was a call from the Richmond School Board about a job that brought him back to the area and ultimately to the Kajaks.

“Everything I learned about coaching athletics, I learned it through the Kajaks or from national coaches,” added Jack, a 2018 Richmond Wall of Fame inductee.

Little did Joanne Kendrick know that, when she posted some pictures of old books of matches on Facebook, she would spark memories for hundreds of Richmondites.

But that’s exactly what did happen when Kendrick found the matches from the original Cronos’ Steak Lobster Pizza Spaghetti House on Granville Avenue.

She went looking for the big box of matches — which her father, Tom Medland, had given to her many years ago — under the stairs after being asked by a friend if she knew someone that used to work at Cronos back in the day.

But once she posted on Facebook the Cronos matches and a T-shirt from the restaurant that her brother still has (he used to deliver for them), the page lit up with comments from people reminiscing.

Realizing she’d set alight (ahem) many memories, Kendrick went back to the box and posted a catalogue of pictures of dozens more books of matches from Richmond businesses, and many more from her 87-year-old dad’s travels.

“My dad collected them for decades and if we ever went anywhere, we would pick them up for him and bring them home,” said Kendrick, who grew up at the family home near No. 3 Road and Steveston Highway in the ‘60s and

‘70s, but now lives in Surrey.

“At one time, he had a massive glass vase that sat on the fireplace and he would drop the matches in there when he got a new one. It was almost full.

“He loved collecting them from places he’d been on his travels. Most are from North America...many from Richmond.

“We are the family that doesn’t throw anything away. I still have my Partridge Family cards. Now people from Facebook are sending me old matches that they have.”

‘World-class’ Jack a ‘blessing’ coaching levels. I coached basketball at school as well, after someone showed me how the game works.”

Kajaks’ head coach, Garret Collier, said it was “almost impossible” to measure how much of an impact Jack has had at the club over those four decades.

“During his time at Kajaks, with the junior development program, he’s touched the careers, at some point, of athletes who went onto national or Olympic levels,” Collier told the Richmond News.

“He always really cared and he took coaching beyond the basics. We’re going to miss his smile and laugh.

“Every time Moseley was there, he got everyone fired up and excited. He’s a world-class coach by every definition

and it has been a blessing to have him here.”

Explaining why he lasted so long in his coaching role, Jack said it was simply his love of coaching children.

“I enjoyed watching the kids progress, especially the nine to 13-year-olds,” said Jack, whose primary function at Kajaks was to mentor the younger age groups.

“My wife passed way in 2008 and it gave me something to do. It gave me reason to be out in the community.

“It’s a great sport and a great community. And the club has been very good to me and my family.

“After the pandemic, I will still be out there watching and, if my health holds, I will still volunteer in some way with the track meets.”

PILCHAK, Marlene February 9, 1943 − October 27, 2020 Marlene Pilchak (born Maria Marlena Carmela Clerinda Officia), 77, passed away at her home in Richmond, BC. She is survived by her children: son, Les Jr. (Jennifer) of Surrey, BC, and daughter Angela Smith (Trevor) of Delta, BC. She was "Proud Nana" to her grandchildren, Jordan (Brittney) and Justin (Katie) Smith; and Melody and Susanna Pilchak. She is survived by her sisters, Carollyne and Louisa; and sister−in−law, Diane; numerous nieces and nephews across Canada; and her life− long friend, Judy Johnson of Kelowna. She will be very missed by her feline companion, Princess.

Marlene was predeceased by her husband, Les (2015); brothers, Sig and Ed; and sister, Sue. Marlene was born on February 9, 1943, in Lachine, Quebec, and moved to Vancouver with her family in 1952. She attended Kitsilano Secondary and it was during high school she began dating a handsome immigrant she had spotted in the neighbourhood, Les Pilchak, who she married in 1963. After high school, Marlene attended Duffus Business College in Vancouver where she earned her Secretarial Certificate and was employed by BC MSI as Secretary to the Executive Director of Group Planning before leaving to have Les Jr. in 1967. Daughter Angela was welcomed in 1969, and Marlene was a devoted mother to them. Marlene was incredibly talented with all she did. She was an amazing cook and her baking, pickles, jams, and antipasto will be missed by the many appreciative recipients. Family celebrations will not be the same without her meatballs and sauce. Her sewing expertise made her a valued costume designer for ballet performances over the years, and her knitted sweaters and blankets will be cherished. She was an artist, a gardener, and an animal lover. She was endlessly creative with the many crafts she turned her hand to armed with a glue gun or a can of spray paint. She could be counted on to volunteer her time whether it be as a Brownie leader, census taker, election scrutineer, or field trip chaperone.

Marlene’s greatest joys in her later years were her cat and her grandchildren. She was endlessly proud of each of her grandchildren’s accomplishments and their biggest fan. They will miss her unconditional love and support. She will also be missed by her many wonderful friends. With her friends, she enjoyed lunches and shopping, dim sum, trips to the Okanagan to buy apples, and marathon phone calls. She was a warm and engaging person with everyone she met, whether it be through her grandchildren’s activities, her neighbourhood, her hair salon, or every business she frequented. She wasn’t just an acquaintance or client; she was a friend. At Marlene’s request, and due to the pandemic, there will be no service. The family appreciates the kind words of sympathy and support received during this sad time. In lieu of flowers, if desired, a donation may be made in her memory to RAPS (Regional Animal Protection Society) or a charity of your choice. Send on−line condolences to www.legacy.com.

KIM, Fedor June 10, 1935 − February 07, 2021 Fedor Kim passed away peacefully in his sleep on February 7, 2021, at the Salvation Army Rotary Hospice in Richmond, BC.

LAWSON, Bruce Ingram June 11, 1929 - January 21, 2021 Our beloved father passed away on the morning of January 21, 2021, in Richmond, B.C., at the age of 91. Bruce was born in the farming town of Miami, Manitoba.

Predeceased by his wife of 58 years, Mary and his parents George and Elizabeth. He is survived by his children; Debbie (Dave), Terry, Tony (Brenda), Laini (Russ), his grandchildren; Krista and Kurtis, as well as his sister Mona and her family.

Bruce enjoyed being outdoors and coaching a number of different youth sports teams in Richmond throughout the years. He will be greatly missed for his kind and gentle nature, the love of helping people and his silly jokes.

He loved to make people smile.

You are remembered with much love, today and always.

You will be missed dearly.

GLIER, Martha December 24, 1933 − February 3, 2021 On a beautiful spring−like morning in February, our beloved Mom (Oma, Grandma) passed peacefully to join the others that have gone before her. She is survived by her children, Rosie (Sieg), Bernie (Marni), and Monica; grandchildren, Melissa (Adam), Brandon, and Jessica; brother, Paul (Marianna, Markus); and family and friends in Germany, Canada, and the USA. She was a loving, kind, strong, resilient woman who overcame much adversity in her life, and in spite of it, never complained. She often said: "others have it worse than me." She took pleasure from the simple things in life such as a short Pike with a blueberry, oatmeal muffin, a good bottle of Gewurztraminer, receiving flowers, desserts of any type, chocolate, and her kitty Mindy. Though, more than anything, she loved her family. They meant everything to her and she cherished time spent with them as they did with her. Thank you to Joan for making sure her final journey was peaceful and comfortable, to the staff at Rosewood Manor for their love and care, and to Angela for providing her with much−needed spiritual guidance. A burial service will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her name to Katie’s Place Animal Rescue in Maple Ridge.
