How is Weatherhood different than what you use today?

Today, Environment Canada (EC) along with radar and satellite readings are used by all major weather services.

What most people don’t realize is that EC doesn’t have any weather stations in Vancouver, Surrey, or North Vancouver and in most other regions the only weather station is at the airport. Weatherhood has worked hard to partner with great organizations in your area to strategically place weather stations where we live.

Environment Canada only has ~20 stations between Sechelt and Chilliwack using grid modeling, which doesn’t take realtime conditions into account

Weatherhood’s network includes 300% more sensors between Sechelt and Chilliwack than were previously in place, and updates forecast six times more often throughout the day.

Council votes 8-1 to extend supportive home’s lease MARIA RANTANEN mrantanen@richmond-news.com

An “outrageous” video streamed at last week’s city council committee meeting showing people relieving themselves in public was abruptly cut off by the mayor of Richmond.

“Stop that video,” Mayor Malcolm Brodie told city staff. “That is a video — we don’t know who, we don’t know where, we don’t know what.

It is really so outrageous that we’re going to cut it off.”

This was in the context of a public feedback about extending the lease of the Alderbridge temporary modular building (TMH) to 2027.

An online speaker, Italo Araujo, a building manager at one of the condo buildings near the TMH, didn’t give any verbal information. Rather, he just asked the video be played.

Araujo was just one person who had signed up to speak about the lease renewal.

While some people spoke in favour of it, several nearby residents expressed their concerns around what they perceived as increased crime and drug use after the building opened in 2019.

Richmond RCMP Chief Supt. Dave Chauhan, however, told city council at the meeting that there was a

“downward trend” in calls for police service in the Alderbridge area between 2019 and 2022. In fact, the call volume went from 1,940 in 2019 to 1,695 in 2022.

Safe supply blamed for ‘disorder’ Some blamed people with substance-use issues for the increasing crime and “social disorder.”

One delegate, Zach Segal, claimed a safe supply of drugs — which a few people with addictions receive instead of using increasingly toxic drugs sold on the street — and decriminalization have “wreaked havoc” on B.C. and Richmond. He said “flooding the streets” with safe supply and decriminalization “helps no one.”

“People in addiction deserve treatment, recovery and therapy,” Segal said. “Any other solution simply manages their decline rather than encouraging full recovery.”

However, the BC Coroners Service urgently called on the province two weeks ago to bring in more safe supply given the fact about six people die every day in B.C. of toxic drugs — 16 people have died in Richmond this year so far of suspected poisoned drugs.

The coroner has noted safe supply hasn’t been related to any deaths in

A videoclip shown to city council was compiled by opponents of a supportive housing building in Richmond city centre. the toxic drug crisis.

Sheldon Starrett, a renter from the Lotus building across from the TMH, claimed “most problems” in the neighbourhood are tied to people with drug addictions.

Starrett, who ran with Coun. Chak Au’s Richmond Community Coalition party in the last municipal election, said people living in condos are “broadbrushed” as “rich people with too much time on their hands.”

“The vast majority of residents here are working people — we are law-abiding residents of the neighbourhood,” he said.

Other delegates included De Whalen, president of the Richmond Pov-

erty Reduction Coalition (RPRC).

In a submission to city council before the meeting, she noted, while the original plan was for the building to be temporary, “in the absence of anything else, this is where people end up staying.”

In a “well-oiled housing continuum” people would move from the street, into shelters, then supportive housing and then into permanent housing.

“The gap in housing causes a backup where people in shelters cannot get into temporary supported housing because those in temporary supported housing have nowhere else to go,” RPRC said in its letter.

Michael Yang from Tapestry Church also submitted a letter saying his congregation has worked with TMH residents, made a community garden, shared meals and even held a karaoke night.

“It reveals the particular social good that is available when these residents have a more permanent place to call home. They can welcome and entertain neighbours like us,” his letter stated.

Au votes against lease renewal In the end, Au was the sole opposition vote against extending the lease, saying he wanted to send a “message” to BC Housing.

The rest of city council voted to extend the lease until 2027, at which point BC Housing is expecting to open a 60-unit permanent building.

Au said until he sees funding or an agreement about the new building, he was “reluctant” to vote in favour of extending the lease.

He said he’s seen other cases where promises of housing have been made but haven’t been delivered.

“I want to send a message to BC Housing saying ‘don’t take us for granted, we need your commitment, don’t back off,’” Au said.

‘Temporary’ was promised

Facts and evidence needed in debate

Dear Editor, Re: “‘Outrageous’ video cut off by Richmond mayor during modular housing debate,” Online, Nov. 7 (see also page 3) The community did not want the modular housing to begin with. We were told it was temporary.

Then we got increased criminal activity. Security was needed at local businesses, increased fire alarms due to smoking, etc., from breaking into parkades and stairwells.

I heard the Cascade City complex right next door has had people selling their units.

No one would let their child walk to Shoppers Drug Mart alone to buy candy.

But yet our property taxes increase?

Why doesn’t anyone at city hall with an extra room open their home to one of the needy?

Why not move it just outside city limits? Or, Garry Point seems nice.

Dear Editor, Re: “‘Outrageous’ video cut off by Richmond mayor during modular housing debate,” Online, Nov. 7 (see also page 3) I actually went and watched this section of the video and the city council meeting. I am confused here, why are these types of presentations allowed?

Clearly, there is an issue with the quality, factual nature, and legitimacy of these presenters.

I am stumped about which presenter is the most problematic.

They all have different problems, but they all seem to have one issue in common.

Get to the facts and get to the issues. Where is the data? Where is the proof? Where is the evidence?

If you want the city council to hear your presentation, write a 12-page essay, double-spaced, with APA or Chicago Style citations. Try: 1. Government sources 2. Academic sources, and if need be, 3. Collect evidence and analyze information yourself.

Please provide an appendix or addendum with said evidence.

Also, you may provide a PowerPoint and executive summary of your submission before city council before your presentation for review and approval.

What is TransLink thinking moving Steveston transit hub?

Dear Editor, Re: “TransLink proposes new temporary bus exchange in Steveston,” Online, Oct. 18 As a resident of Steveston in the area of 7th Avenue and Chatham Street, it greatly concerns me to find out the City of Richmond is even considering a proposal from Translink to turn our corner of the village into a transit loop.

I believe that our mayor sits on a TransLink mayors committee.

Did he miss the meeting where this proposal was tabled? If he supports this proposal, it makes me wonder if he has actually physically walked in this area and considered the safety issues.

To allow buses to use 7th Avenue south of Chatham, where they will drive right through a daycare dropoff and pickup zone, then turn left onto Moncton Street, where the large majority of the traffic is walkers, runners, cyclists, dog walkers, roller bladers, kids and the elderly making their way between Garry Point and the village, is a tragic accident waiting to happen.

It is very rare to see cars on the section

Alvin Lee

of Moncton between 7th and 6th avenues. Now they want to put buses on it day and night?

Does the proposal take into account that 7th Avenue south of Chatham is very narrow and likely not built to withstand the weight of buses constantly driving on it?

I haven’t even mentioned the potential environmental impact on the Japanese trees next to 7th Avenue in Garry Point Park, and people picnicking under them, the impact of a row of idling buses and air brake noise on the houses on Chatham between 6th and 4th, and the impact on the homeless living in campers and motorhomes on 6th Avenue.

The city needs to send TransLink back to the drawing board on this one.

I have started a petition against this proposal and will rally the area to push back against the city and TransLink, and will make sure our voices are heard at any public hearings, online surveys, or any other forms of public input.

We will not roll over.

Coast Guard called to Stop order issued to three sinking ‘derelict’ boat properties for soil violation VIKKI HUI vhui@richmond-news.com

A sinking boat in Steveston is leaking diesel into the river.

Photos from Richmond News reader Allisa Ritchie show the half-sunken vessel by the dock, surrounded by oil slick booms. Diesel slick can be seen from a close-up photo of the water.

The “derelict vessel” partially sank sometime between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, said city spokesperson Clay Adams.

He explained it is under the Canadian Coast Guard’s jurisdiction and oil slick booms have been set up to “mitigate any environmental hazard.”

As it turns out, the vessel is a wooden ex-fishing vessel towed to Imperial Landing after experiencing engine problems on Oct. 22, according to

A half-sunken boat was spotted at Steveston’s Imperial Landing.

Allisa Ritchie photo the Canadian Coast Guard.

Crews were sent to Imperial Landing on Thursday and found the vessel partially sunk and leaking diesel.

High flotation containment booms and absorbent booms were set up to collect “recoverable marine pollution” and Canadian Coast Guard crews have been replacing the absorbent pads.

Steveston Harbour Authority is currently monitoring the vessel while the Canadian Coast Guard looks for a contractor to remove the vessel.

“We are prepared to take immediate action if the situation changes,” said the Canadian Coast Guard.

The city has also set up signage and caution tape.

The Canadian Coast Guard is now trying to contact the vessel’s new owner after the previous owner reported selling it on Oct. 25.

By law, the owner will be liable for the Canadian Coast Guard’s costs, as well as costs of damage caused by pollution from their vessel, said the Canadian Coast Guard.

Three Richmond properties were ordered to stop work because they violated soil activity bylaws in September.

City of Richmond staff carried out 63 inspections related to soil bylaws last month and issued the stop work/removal orders to the Agricultural Land Reserve properties at 6200 No. 5 Rd., 14160 Westminster Hwy. and 21700 River Rd. Of the 63 sites staff monitored, six previ-

ously non-compliant properties have been cleared and can continue their work, according to a city staff report.

City staff regularly check for unauthorized fill, soil deposits and removal sites.

They also inspect properties that are undergoing remediation to make sure they’re compliant with city bylaws.

There are currently 17 soil deposit proposals undergoing an application process, 12 approved sites and 27 non-compliant properties that are being addressed.

Another life lost to toxic drugs One person died in September in Richmond due to a suspected drug poisoning, bringing the total number of this year so far in the city to 16.

Across B.C., 175 people died in September of toxic drugs, which is 5.8 per day.

The BC Coroners Service released its monthly report

earlier this month, along with its Death Panel Review, calling once again on providing those addicted to drugs with a safe supply of drugs.

The death review panel’s report notes the primary cause of the increase in deaths is the “growing toxicity and unpredictability of the street supply of drugs.”

Until there are new “regulatory approaches” in national drug policy and improvements in support, harm reduction and treatment are in place, “the risk of significant harms, death and this public health emergency are unlikely to improve,” the report notes.

The Pulse at Richmond Hospital Foundation Natalie D. Meixner President & CEO, Richmond Hospital Foundation

There is a lot of activity in and around Richmond Hospital this fall, and one of the most significant changes is the relocation of the Cancer Care Clinic to the Milan Ilich Pavilion near the main entrance. We recently spoke with Dr. Jeremy Ho, one of our three oncologists here at Richmond Hospital, about cancer care in Richmond and the exciting projects they have been working on in addition to the move.

“Here in Richmond, care is very personal. For example, I know the radiologist that is going to be reading the patient’s scans, the pathologist who is reading their

Dr. Jeremy Ho, Oncologist, Richmond Hospital

lab slides, and, I personally know the nurses who will be taking care of them. Having these relationships is an advantage of working here at Richmond Hospital both for clinicians and for our patients. Interpersonal relationships are really important in medicine. Medicine is hard science, but our role is to bring a significant human aspect to the care,” shares Dr. Jeremy Ho. “Equally as important as the treatment itself is the patient experience.” Dr. Ho and the Cancer Care team are always looking for ways to help patients with the treatment process.

“An example of how we have made a significant difference for our patients is our quality improvement project where we looked at the diagnosis and treatment process for those with lung cancer. We noticed that the final step before determining treatment – getting information about the biopsy sample – was taking a long time. So we started a series of discussions with different departments to streamline the process. We have been able to shorten the time required between a patient’s biopsy and start of treatment by shaving off 20 days.”

“Quality improvement is a focus for the Cancer Care team at Richmond Hospital. We’re currently developing and piloting a new project for patients starting chemotherapy. This digital, remote symptom management tool allows patients to report their

symptoms and how they’re feeling anywhere, anytime.

The information flows back to the clinic and is then monitored by a dedicated team member. We are looking forward to formalizing this once we have the results of the pilot project.”

Servicemen honoured at Remembrance Day ceremony VALERIE LEUNG vleung@richmond-news.com

Hundreds of people came out to the cenotaph in Richmond to reflect and remember those who gave their lives to serve and protect Canada.

Toddlers sitting on their parents’ shoulders, seniors and entire families lined No. 3 Road in front of Richmond City Hall for the annual Remembrance Day ceremony on Nov. 11.

The ceremony started at 10:20 a.m. with a parade that included units of Canadian veterans, members of the Royal Canadian Legion, Army, Navy, and Air Force veterans, public safety agencies and cadet organizations.

Matthew McBride, master of ceremonies for Remembrance Day, led the public through the event to honour veterans who served and soldiers who are still serving in the Canadian forces.

The “Last Post” was performed by Bob Mullet, a musician and conductor of Richmond’s Community Concert Band, as the entire street reflected during the two minutes of silence.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie, city councillors, local MLAs, veterans and organizations then laid wreaths at the cenotaph.

Man charged in Police not to blame in 18 arrested in 3-vehicle crash: IIOBC shoplifting sting ‘stranger assault’

VALERIE LEUNG vleung@richmond-news.com

A police watchdog organization has declared no officer was at fault in a three-vehicle collision in Richmond last fall.

The crash involved a marked BC Highway Patrol car, a commercial vehicle and another car with three Vancouver-related arson suspects.

The Independent Investigations Office of BC (IIOBC) released a statement saying it has reviewed the evidence including a civilian witness statement, forensic scene analysis, video footage, medical records and police information.

In the end, IIOBC determined there “are no reasonable grounds to believe any officer has committed an offence.”

The collision on Oct. 17, 2022, at about 10:45 a.m. near the intersection of Highway 91 and Westminster Highway, resulted in the driver of the commercial vehicle being taken to the hospital with a serious

injury and the arson suspects taken into custody.

Due to ongoing court proceedings related to the crash, the IIOBC said it will not be releasing its usual public report until the case concludes.

The Richmond News reported last year that RCMP officers received reports of a shooting at the University Golf Course, on the University Endowment Lands the morning of the collision.

Police found a man on scene suffering from gunshot wounds who later succumbed to his injuries.

At 10:02 a.m., a vehicle fire was reported in a laneway about a sixminute drive from the golf course.

It is unclear if there was a connection between the vehicle fire in Vancouver and the arson suspects involved in the crash on Highway 91.

Investigators believe the incident at UBC was a targeted shooting related to the Lower Mainland gang conflict.

Richmond RCMP arrested 18 retail theft suspects last month.

Police held an operation on Sept. 14 as part of their “boom and bust” project in conjunction with loss prevention officers, Metro Vancouver Transit Police and retail owners in Richmond.

Of the 18 suspects arrested, 15 were adults and three were youth.

Most of them came from areas outside of Richmond, while three were from Richmond.

One of the suspects had arrest warrants from both Vancouver and Surrey.

Another person was arrested for breaking their previous offence conditions after a police chase

on foot.

The most commonly recovered items were clothing, footwear, cosmetics, electronics and personal hygiene products.

These were primarily going to be resold in Vancouver, according to Richmond RCMP. Richmond RCMP Insp.

Michael Cohee said officers found SkyTrain was the main route being used by suspects to move stolen items between cities.

“Retail theft is not a victimless crime and costs businesses across Canada, millions of dollars in property losses and revenue,” said Cohee.

“With each year, these collaborative retail theft operations have proven increasingly successful and very insightful.”

The man was allegedly assaulted by an unknown assailant near Walmart in the 9500 block of Tomicki Avenue shortly after 1 a.m. on Sept. 10.

Cpl. Dennis Hwang, Richmond RCMP spokesperson, said the suspect fled before officers arrived at the scene and was not found after an “extensive search.”

“No motive for the attack was determined,” he added.

The victim was sent to the hospital with “a serious but non-life-threatening laceration.”

On Nov. 1, police arrested Li for the assault and executed a search warrant at his Richmond residence.

He was identified as a suspect after an investigation by Richmond RCMP’s General Investigative Section, Strike Force Unit and frontline patrol officers.

Harbour authority sues fishing ship following September fire VIKKI HUI vhui@richmond-news.com

The Steveston Harbour Authority (SHA) has gone to court to remove an “unseaworthy” fishing ship that caught on fire in the harbour in September.

The SHA claims, in a lawsuit filed on Oct. 19, the ship “Pathfinder III” is in breach of its moorage agreement and its condition is posing a risk to the Fraser River estuary.

Pathfinder III is a wooden fishing vessel measuring almost 15 metres in length. It was registered in Victoria.

Its beneficial owners, Wanda Lubisz and the estate of her deceased husband, Jerzy Lubisz, were also named as defendants in the lawsuit.

According to SHA, it entered into a moorage agreement with Pathfinder III and its owners in 2021, requiring li-

ability insurance with wreck removal and accidental pollution coverage. The agreement also asks Pathfinder III and its owners to either provide proof of insurance within two days of demand or leave the moorage location.

SHA said Pathfinder III failed to provide proof of insurance when asked in August, and it failed to leave the harbour.

The ship then caught fire on Sept. 17, reads the lawsuit, and is posing an “unreasonable burden” on SHA because SHA has to “monitor it constantly and keep pumps going to prevent it from sinking.”

The harbour authority claimed the ship is uninsured and is in “unseaworthy condition” while “deteriorating without any reasonable regard to the state of the ship.”

“The (Pathfinder III) is in a hazardous condition and pos-

es a risk to the surrounding marine environment, namely the Fraser River estuary,” reads SHA’s lawsuit.

It argues it is authorized to prohibit people from using its premises since it has a head lease with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to manage the harbour, and Pathfinder III is therefore trespassing on its property.

SHA added Pathfinder III is causing a nuisance by not allowing another vessel to use the spot. It’s asking the court to order a permanent injunction to ban Pathfinder III from its property and issue a judgment against the ship and its owners for breach of contract, trespass, nuisance and damages.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.

The owners have 21 days to respond to the allegations.

Chinese dance showcased

DAISY XIONG dxiong@richmond-news.com

Cindy Yang Dance Academy of Canada, a dance school that has called Richmond home for 32 years, will present a show this month to highlight Chinese ethnic minority dance.

The show, named Dance Forever, will take place on Nov. 25 at Vancouver Playhouse.

This year’s theme is “Dancing in Youth,” which will highlight young dancers, starting from three years old, and give them a stage to shine, said Yang Yang, the school’s art director.

“There are many Chinese dance schools here in Metro Vancouver, but not many specialize in ethnic minority dance like us,” said Yang.

She explained the performances, which are all originally choreographed by the school’s teachers, include el-

For example, one of the performances is “cuisine dance” from the Yi ethnicity in southwest China. It’s a dance they do when they serve their guests dishes.

“Dance does not only help improve people’s body condition, but it also improves their self-discipline and self-

confidence,” said Yang.

“And our dance is also a great way for our students to understand traditional Chinese culture, which many of their families have connections to.”

Some older students will also participate in the performance and many of them have reached a professional dance level, she added.

The fourth and final season of Superman & Lois is scheduled for filming in B.C. in two months.

While no specific locations have been announced yet, the TV series has been filmed in Richmond, Surrey and Delta in the past.

CreativeBC announced filming is set to take place between Jan. 11 and April 22.

This announcement came shortly before the

strike by the American actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA, ended as a tentative contract deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers was reached.

SAG-AFTRA, which represents 160,000 international performers, were on strike for more than seven months over fair wages and the unregulated use of artificial intelligence.

The strike, however, didn’t affect Canadian actors who operate under a separate branch of the union.

$1.3 million raised for hospital

MARIA RANTANEN mrantanen@richmond-news.com

A new table for hip surgery and magnetic seeds to help in breast cancer surgery — these are just a couple healthcare innovations that will be available at the Richmond Hospital after its foundation raised $1.3 million last week.

The annual gala usually targets specific needs in the hospital, and these innovations that will improve patient care, making procedures less invasive, were identified this year as the fundraising targets.

In addition to raising money, the hospital foundation’s CEO Natalie Meixner praised Richmondites for “putting their hand up” to help improve health care in Richmond. “(The gala) just felt very genuine, very authentic,” she told the Richmond News.

“It was so positive — I always love how people in our community really care about our community,” she added. “You could feel it in the room.”

The new hip replacement bed allows doctors to do the procedure from the front of the body instead of the back, something Meixner described as a

And, instead of using a fish-hook-like wire to guide a surgeon during breastcancer surgery, a magnetic seed can be implanted 30 days before surgery in a less invasive and uncomfortable procedure.

The third item identified as a target for fundraising was another echocardiography ultrasound machine for the hospital. The ultrasound uses high-frequency

sound waves to see the size and structure of the heart. This allows a doctor to see the pumping action and blood flow in the heart’s valves.

Transit training helps grow independence SUNEET GILL Contributor

A young adult from Richmond is riding the bus with ease after taking a routinechanging workshop.

Before Joshua Li received training from TransLink last September, his mother, Brianna Qiu, used to drive him to school each morning and drop him off at his extracurricular classes.

But Li, who was diagnosed with autism at six years old, now commutes independently and with confidence after learning the ropes of taking the bus and SkyTrain.

“He can get anywhere, and I remember how proud he was when he went to downtown with his cousin,” Qiu said.

“He was able to walk on Robson Street freely …. So, even his confidence is not only for (commuting), it also shows through in terms of (him feeling) comfortable making decisions on his own.”

Li received transit training as a part of Explorations: Pathways to the Future, a Richmond School District program that prepares Grade 12 students with diverse abilities for adulthood.

The training begins with a workshop on how to plan trips and take the bus and SkyTrain, taught by Chris Chan, manager of travel

TransLink gives training to people with disabilities to help them navigate on public transit. Photo submitted training at TransLink. From there, teachers accompany students in taking transit until they can commute on their own, according to TransLink.

Qiu said Li has a key and commutes to and from school, goes out for haircuts and overall looks after himself.

She added the transit training also taught her son how to travel safely and has improved his social skills.

“He’s able to talk to people better because when he sits in the bus, he might have to somehow interact with people, so it’s better than (me) personally driving him.

He didn’t have to talk to me.

You know how teenagers (are). They don’t talk to their mom,” she said.

Besides learning the ins and outs of transit, students — who are accepted into Explorations through referrals — learn about post-secondary education and how to get a job.

Qiu said Li helped out in a seniors home and felt good about giving back to others.

She added she is very proud of her son and from talking to his friends and teaching assistant at school, they have seen him grow up so much.

Non-profit helps clean up river in Guatemala

SUNEET GILL Contributor

A Richmond-based nonprofit that creates global plastic pollution response programs will organize a cleanup of one of the world’s most polluted rivers.

Ocean Legacy Foundation (OLF) is partnering with the Guatemalan environmental organization HaciendoECO to have locals and students remove solid waste from the Motagua River and receive education about recycling.

At almost 500 kilometres, the river is the longest in Guatemala, a Central American country that borders Mexico and Belize to its north. The Motagua River is littered with plastic and carries at least 8,500 tonnes of waste every year into the Caribbean Sea, according to the non-profit.

“Essentially, we’re going to be marking the river off, so people don’t get too close to the river, and then we’ll essentially be walking in grid patterns over top of the pollution and removing (it),” said Chloé Dubois, OLF cofounder.

From there, she added, the pollution will go into bins to be recycled by a company called Biosffera. The cleanup will begin within the next few months, while HaciendoECO has already started their education program.

The program focuses on the importance of the Motagua River and its ecological role in

Guatemala, as well as the waterway’s pollution problem and how it is impacting the river basin, Dubois said.

The project involves working with 45 schools in 15 cities, where mainly elementary school students will learn to sort plastics and organic waste. They will also learn about Guatemalan laws that aim to keep these materials out of landfills.

“The schools that we’re partnering with (on) the education (program) are also going to be acting as plastic collection hubs, so students can work with their families to bring back plastics and collect plastics at the schools,” Dubois added.

The cleanup effort has also expanded to an international alliance — made up of 25 organizations and agencies — to get support from the government, non-profits, businesses and industry members to end pollution in the Motagua River.

“Ultimately, the goal with this project is to be able to restore the river basin within the next 10 years,” she said.

Dubois said they will also start identifying more places in Guatemala in need of cleanups.

“I think we’re hoping to continue to develop a model that can be used and replicated in different communities and countries,” she added.

Director inspires ‘silent reconciliation’ with film VALERIE LEUNG vleung@richmond-news.com

“Learning to understand and find common ground during arguments in an Asian family is a starting point for silent reconciliation.”

This is the message Richmond director and resident Meng Li is trying to share in her film “Water Roots,” which premiered on Nov. 4 at the 27th annual Vancouver Asian Fim Festival (VAFF).

“Silent reconciliation,” Li explained, is the moment when Asian families come to a shared understanding after a disagreement without any verbal affirmation.

Li’s film explores the concept through the lens of Sherry, the daughter of a second-generation Chinese

immigrant, as she and her father process their grief over her mother’s death overseas.

Meanwhile, Sherry and her father clash over her love for a career in history and his preference for a more stable career.

“In Asian families, it’s common to avoid arguments because they create conflict and it’s uncomfortable,” said Li. “What I want people to understand is family members can have the power to choose different pathways and different lifestyles.”

Li told the Richmond News that, spoiler alert, the film ends with the pair bonding over shared grief and sadness despite their different beliefs.

“Sharing emotions and

connecting on an emotional level is the first step in this reconciliation or understanding with our family and with our culture,” said Li. Barbara Lee, executive director of VAFF, said the festival had its biggest program to celebrate local filmmakers this year.

“It’s always an exciting 10 days of the year where Asian representation is elevated and celebrated as well as for people to really see themselves authentically shown alongside their stories,” said Lee. “Sometimes telling these stories (with) no one to listen can be demoralizing, so having an audience just as excited as filmmakers at the festival every year is important.”

Hip hop gold on world stage VIKKI HUI vhui@richmond-news.com

A young Richmond dancer recently wrapped up his first experience on a world stage with two gold medals.

Drako Cheng, 11, was crowned world champion for the popping and hip hop boys children’s categories in the recent IDO World Hip Hop Championship in Kielce, Poland.

He told the Richmond News he felt “really good” about representing Canada and winning his medals.

“Even though it’s my first time competing in a world championship, it felt really good and I thought I would have a good chance,” he said.

“I have been training a lot, so I feel like I was prepared.”

Cheng had competed in the freestyle categories, which meant he had to improvise his routine and he did not know what the music would be beforehand.

Readers of the News may also recognize Cheng from his stint on Canada’s Got Talent earlier this year when his dance crew, XTREME SOUL STYLE, passed with four enthusiastic YES(s) from judges Howie Mandel, Lilly Singh, Trish Stratus and Kardinal Offishall.

The international dance championship was held from Oct. 23 to 28 and showcased dancers from 31 countries to 15,000 spectators.

Cheng said it was his first time travelling “so far” so it was “a bit scary at first,” but he had “so much fun.”

Drako Cheng, 11, won a gold for his hip hop moves. Instagram video screenshot, idoworlddance “I met a lot of dancers from different countries and having support from all my friends in Team Canada made it a lot easier.”

Potato noodle eatery opens second location in Richmond

DAISY XIONG dxiong@richmond-news.com

Qian Kitchen, a restaurant specializing in Guizhoustyle soup noodles, recently closed its doors at Aberdeen Centre’s food court.

Replacing it is 99 BBQ, a restaurant selling potato noodle soup — a traditional food from northeast China.

The restaurant has been operating at Crystal Mall in Burnaby for years and it opened its second location in Richmond last Wednesday.

“I chose to open another location at Aberdeen Centre because there is a younger demographic here, and our potato noodles

are usually popular among these customers,” said Jose Wang, owner of the restaurant.

“We have been really busy since the opening of the store.”

Potato noodle soup is usually cooked in a ceramic pot mixed with tofu skin, eggs, vegetables and meat.

Buck&Ear creditor protection extended until end of month VIKKI HUI vhui@richmond-news.com

The Buck & Ear, the Steveston Cafe and Hotel as well as the liquor store in the same building have gotten a reprieve from their creditors to the end of November.

The Joseph Richard Hospitality Group (JRG), which owns controlling shares in these businesses, filed for creditor protection back in July.

JRG also owns controlling shares in JRG Foodhall (Vancouver) Ltd., the company behind the upcoming food hall in the redeveloped Canada Post building on Georgia Street, as well as other Lower Mainland eateries.

It started the proceedings to buy time to restructure the business.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge initially ordered a stay of proceedings for any actions, suits or proceedings until July 27 but later extended it until Nov. 30 by a court order dated Sept.

28.

This means no creditors are allowed to start any collection proceedings, claims and court actions against JRG for any amounts owed before July 17, unless they obtain permission from the court.

JRG may be granted further extensions as

long as they work in good faith toward restructuring.

A court order issued in August also gave it permission to borrow no more than $500,000 from Canadian Western Bank to finance the business.

As of July, JRG owed around $34.4 million to Canadian Western Bank, around $2.3 million to the Bank of Montreal and owed around $600,000 in Canadian Business Assistance loans.

Its businesses also owed the Canadian Revenue Agency around $4.7 million in source deductions, $24,700 in income tax, $440,000 in GST and $912,000 in PST. It chalks its financial difficulties up to “significant borrowings” it took on to survive the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Ernst & Young, the monitor of the proceedings.

Industry challenges, including wage increases and labour shortages, supply chain issues, increased food costs, lease rate interests and high interest rates, also contributed to JRG’s difficulties.

“While JRG has profitable locations, current cash flows are not sufficient to repay all of the debt incurred during the COVID-19 period,” said Ernst & Young.

Fencer wins gold at Pan Ams

VALERIE LEUNG vleung@richmond-news.com

A Richmond fencer shed tears of joy when he won gold at the 2023 Pan American Games on Monday.

Dynamo Fencing Club’s Dylan French competed for Canada in fencing at the games held in Santiago, Chile from Oct. 20 to Nov 5.

French won against hometown athlete Pablo Alejandro Nunez from Chile with a score of 15-12 in the finals for the men’s individual epee category.

Not only is French celebrating a gold win, but also the first ever men’s epee gold at the games for Canada, according to Igor Gantsev-

ich, president and coach at Dynamo.

“It might have been an individual championship medal but it was for the entire local and national fencing community,” said Gantsevich, adding that French was in “utter joy” to know years of work and training had paid off.

“He feels extremely proud to have been able to achieve this historic moment.”

Gantsevich told the Richmond News the win was a “huge accomplishment” for French and the club.

“Dylan has been (training) with my dad and me for 18 years now and he is like family to us,” he said.
