每個人對「成功」的定義都不同，但若是只以財富多寡，事業地位高低來定義「成功」，就會忽視了其他生命中更具價值但無法衡量的瑰寶。

暢銷書作者、醫生、自我實現家、環保工作者李偉文醫師將在 11月21號和LaJaJa Kids的父母們細談他對「成功」的定義。擁有一個美滿家庭的他，將會和我們大家分享一些簡單又容易實踐的方法，讓幸福成為親子和家人之間一種持續的感覺。11月21號 星期六晚上 7點 (PST), 我們ㄚㄚ園地Facebook Live見!

這幾年電子煙迅速流行，每五個中學生就有一位抽電子煙。什麼是電子煙？電子煙到底對身體有什麼影響？為什麼它這麼吸引青少年？即使你的孩子不抽電子菸,做父母的我們對電子菸的了解也是非常必須的。電子菸頻向青少年招手,父母準備好了嗎?

丫ㄚ園地特別邀請我們的好朋友Irene 和她的孩子Dimitri Lin，一位積極參與電子煙防制活動的高中生，以其觀察與研究的經驗，來跟華人家長談談這個大家並不熟悉的問題。 Dimitri 在高中階段ㄧ直在學校及社區做電子煙的教育防制活動，在2019年發起禁電子煙廣告petition, 在短短三週就獲得三萬人的簽署，他也與參眾議員開會討論青少年的電子煙議題，目前積極參與美國癌症協會的活動。

以下是Irene 為此活動的介紹, 邀請您來聽聽我們的討論:

青少年電子煙的使用人口雖在2020年，因為疫情必需多待在家中的情形下，有下降的趨勢。但CDC 2020調查的結果，12-18歲每五名中學生仍就有一位有抽電子煙，全美國有三百萬的中學生是電子煙的使用者，其中不乏12歲就開始使用電子煙的孩子。

我的孩子Dimitri Lin在2018年就開始宣導電子煙的防制問題，雖然他的學校學生使用電子煙的問題不算太嚴重（有南加的高中把男生廁所的門都拆了，就是要預防學生在廁所抽電子煙），但學校蠻重視這問題，常常不定時的抽查學生身上是否有電子煙。在Dimitri不斷跟校長溝通的情況下，校長讓他跟家長面對面報告了電子煙的問題和電子煙的種類，與會家長都跟我說他們開了眼界，學到了很多東西。

Dimitri發現電子煙的氾濫是跟煙商廣告行銷有很大的關係，所以他在去年提出修改法案的提案，希望把電子煙廣告跟香菸一起規範，獲得廣大的迴響。在這過程中，我看著他跟我們城市的警局警察聯絡，希望能研究出電子煙宣導方案；寫了許多電子郵件給相關人員及機構（多數沒有回應）；跟市議員、參議員、眾議員聯絡，準備資料，克服膽卻跟些「大人」開會。看到抽電子煙的同學，他也嘗試勸阻宣導他們。雖然他在這個過程中碰了很多釘子，本來眾議員承諾讓他參與的許多宣導活動也因疫情而取消，Dimitri 還是盡他小小的一己之力，宣導防制電子煙的問題，沒有放棄。目前希望跟美國癌症協會合作，看是否能夠促進修法。做媽媽的看到他一路走來，雖然有點挫折，但也學到成長很多，默默感到欣慰。

十月最後一週是傳統的紅絲帶週，一般來說是學校宣導煙、酒的防制問題的時刻。現在遠距教學，謝謝La Jajakids 給Dimitri一個機會，讓他在這個時機跟華人家長談談電子煙的問題，例如孩子房間中有那些可疑的東西，電子煙的種類、相關物品有那些，畢竟孩子們總有一天會返回校園，電子煙的始用屆時可能又會流行。一般華人家長對這個議題不大了解，假如想要有多一些了解，請聽聽我們的討論，Dimitri將用中文來跟大家講解電子煙這個議題，歡迎十月二十四日參入我們的討論!

The Inferno

By Shawn Lo

“Are we almost there?” I whined.
“Not quite, but almost” my mom responded with annoyance because I had been asking the same question over and over.

My family and I were continuing a road trip from Bend, Oregon, to San Francisco. The date was August 19, 2020, and California Wildfires have raged across the north. Our road trip took us to the wrong place at the wrong time. The potent odor had somehow managed to sneak into our car, reeking the air of ash and haze, yet we still drove on down the perilous road. Ochre black smog clouded everywhere around us and the windows of our car. The scenery was a writhing and eerie atmosphere where no sound was heard, with the exception of the scarlet inferno’s cackle as it devoured trees in a matter of minutes just on the right side of Interstate 80 between UC Davis and San Francisco.

I fumbled nervously with my hands as I watched the flying countryside in the car..
“Are we going to make it?” I asked. “What if we run out of gas and get stuck on the highway?”
“The fire is too far away, and it won’t be able to reach us,” my dad responded, reassuring us. “We have food, water, gas, and as long as we stay inside, we would be safe.”
“I guess we will be okay,” I thought reluctantly. However, given the unlikely chance of our car bursting into flames, I still pondered about the possibility that our car could abruptly stop, and we’d be stuck on the road with nowhere to stay and nowhere to go. I’ve never really deliberated over what to do in an emergency like such.

Like an ambulance siren, our phones gave out the strident cacophony of an amber alert.
“BEEP, BEEP!”
Given that there was a seat belt over my chest, the sound had startled me quite much that I had almost fallen out of my seat.
“BEEP, BEEP!” the siren wailed once again.

The inferno looked as if a monster was stretching its hands to grasp a few cars and to drag them to the woods never to return. This monster was a beast whose embers could set cars into flames in a single moment.

As we continued to drive on in the chain of cars, it started to turn into heavy traffic, with bumpers side-by-side and honking ringing in the air around. The lines of vehicles were tangled chaotically with motors growling. “BEEP, BEEP!” my phone wailed. The continuous warnings of amber alerts made adrenaline go through me, yet I remained calm.
“I think we should find a hotel tonight,” my dad finally declared as the traffic made cars utterly stop.
“We are almost there.” my mom prompted. “If we just try to take a different route, we can make it to San Francisco.”
“I think we should go for it,” I suggested. “I don’t think the fire is too near us.”
Though I did quite fear the rising inferno, I didn’t want to be stuck wherever we were. I might have been more concerned about staying in the last room of an inn than the fire itself. Suddenly I hear sirens and the shouting of police officers. Cars were then turning to the nearest exit, and at that moment, I realized that the roads had closed.
“Everyone turns to the exit on the right.” police officers directed firmly. “This road leads straight into the fire.”
Some drivers retaliated with yelling and shouting despite the direct order of the officers.
“BEEP, BEEP!” the amber alert wailed once again. It seems that the warnings were as clear as ever, and it appeared the alerts became louder and the fires seemed closer.
“SCREECH” a car squealed as it cut in front of us, almost hitting us.
My dad steered his wheel quickly towards the exit as more cars soon followed, bumping each other like a game of pinball. He then proceeded to park the car in a nearby gas station.
“I think we should stay at a hotel.” my brother proposed.
I gagged at the thought of staying in a random motel inn at a gas station stop.
“That’s probably the best option,” my mom responded as she started scrolling through hotel rooms on her phone.
Looking at her screen, hotel rooms started to book in seconds in the area where we were. The big red words of Sold Out started to pop up on the Expedia website simultaneously.
After my mom had scrolled through almost every hotel near us, we could get one room with ONE queen-sized bed an hour away from where we were.
“Maybe when we get there, we can ask the front desk to switch to a different room with two beds.” my dad suggested.
After getting there, I could spot one family sleeping in the car parked at an IHOP next to our hotel.
Confronting the front desk in hopes of switching rooms, we were met with these exact words from the stern-looking older woman behind the counter.
“Ma’m, you just took the last room.”
“Thank god we were prepared and acted fast,” I thought to myself in relief.
My dad slept on the couch, while everyone else squeezed onto the bed horizontally (I slept on the very end). I could have kissed the floor of the Marriott Courtyard hotel. I couldn’t imagine sleeping in the parking lot of an IHOP.

Junior Journalists’ Reports on Disney on Ice Mickey’s Search Party ~~

by Phoebe Zhang (age 10)

Have you ever wondered what it was like to see Disney characters on ice? Well today, me and my co-interviewer, Langie Tsang, went to the Los Angeles Staple Center to see DISNEY ON ICE. This year’s theme is Mickey’s Search Party. Disney on ice, wants you to take out from this performance to create an unforgettable memories and to become part of the story when Disney on ice presents Mickey’s Search party. This brand new immersive ice skating experience brings the magic closer to the fans and for them to engage to the show. These performers achletism mixes with acrobatic and aerial stunts to bring in ice skating skills to new heights. These adventures is told through multi leveled performances  that immerse fans into the fantastic worlds of Disney. The Disney movies that are in this show is the Disney pixar’s Coco, Frozen, Moana, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Toy Story, and The Little Mermaid. This all new show will be skating into the Southland playing L.A, Anaheim, Long Beach, and Ontario, from December 12th-January 5th.
As I just walked into the Staple Centers, I realised that there would be lots of people going to this show. It looked like there were about thousands of people. As I walked in the stadium, I saw Disney characters skating, and the first one I saw was Coco. I was really amazed about how good they were because if I tried to skate like that, I would just fall. I was so happy and excited to be there because it was so fun to watch the story and how they ice skate. My favorite part is when in the Coco part, there were people going up the bar, and they were swinging all over the place, even though it looked really hesitating to look at but it was really amazing. I also liked when Elsa entranced the door with the main song.

Today, we went to Disney on Ice Mickey’s Search party at the Staples Center. Here, you can watch many Disney characters perform on the ice. This event will happen from December 12 to January 5. Some of the movies that were in the show were Coco, Frozen, Toy Story, The Little Mermaid.
    One of the things I liked about the show was when they bring back the beginning song from Frozen 1,” Frozen Heart”, about the ice workers that take the ice cubes out of the ground. In my opinion, Disney on Ice made it even better by doing incredible flips on slide-like blocks. For a finishing touch, they added a big flip with Kristoff flipping off all the ice cube props stacked very high. I think that was one of my favorite moments of the show.
    Another one of my favorite parts was when Ariel and Prince Eric did some acrobatic moves in the air with a rope. Their moves definitely would need lots of practicing and the two would need to trust each other. Ariel did a
scorpion on the rope for more than five seconds! They both did unimaginable moves in the air and twists. One of the most wonderful things you have to remember about this show is that all of the dancers are doing their dancing on ice which probably makes it harder to dance and balance. Honestly, I think the show this year was better than last year’s show. Don’t forget to check out this amazing event!

千呼萬喚，中國彩燈節終於在上星期隆重開幕了，一千多個手工造型彩燈點亮了 Pomona 的夜晚，開幕週末人潮熱鬧得很，兩位丫丫小記者 Amber 和 Phoebe 這晚興奮來到了彩燈節的開幕禮，與活動公關 Jennifer Becker 進行了專訪，又親身體驗了彩燈節裡各種精彩活動和展示，玩得好開心呢！一起來看看當晚小記者的採訪報導吧！～

這裡的所有彩燈都出自中國自貢的彩燈大師之手。自古以來中國自貢的燈會都非常有名，如今，自貢的彩燈藝人將傳統彩燈技藝與現代工藝結合，所有彩燈都由鋼架框製成，再以人造絲包成「皮膚」，裡面由 LED 燈照亮，再以裝滿各種彩色液體的小瓶子組成類似馬賽克一般的藝術圖形。讓人耳目一新，好像置身夢境一般。

小記者遊記 ~~ by Phoebe Zhang (age 10)

Today, we had a blast looking at the beautiful lanterns that people made at the MAGICAL CHINESE LANTERN FESTIVAL taking place in Pomona Fairplex. This amazing festival happens starting on November 21st, 2019 all the way to January 5th, 2020. Today, we interviewed the creator of THE MAGICAL CHINESE LANTERN FESTIVAL, Jennifer Becker. Starting on November 21st, this festival will return to its holiday season with its brand new outstanding displays themed “Blooming Seasons”. Guests will experience a different kinds of unique displays including nature, plants, and exotic animals such as cactuses, beautiful flowers, snakes, dragons, and way more. This year, there are 60 new lanterns which comes up with 1,000+ lanterns in this festival this year. Imagine you are in a journey in this festival, filled with deep in the vast wonderland filled exotic flowers/animals, trees, insects, mammals, and reptiles in their natural habitat. It an amazing visual representation view for all four seasons, Spring, Summer, Fall, and lastly Winter.
First of all, there is the Ceramic Chinese Dragon. This dragon is up to 100 yards, basically as big as a football field! The dragon traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over, water, rainfall, typhoons, and floods. The dragon is also symbolized as a symbol of power, strength, and good luck for people who are worthy in the  East Asian Culture. Second of all, there is the Chinese Phoenix. This amazing display comes from the myth. Associated with the sun, this Chinese Phoenix obtains a new life form the ashes of the predecessor. Some people thinks that the Phoenix dies in a show of flames and combustion, although on the other hand, some other people thinks that this legendary bird dies and then simply decomposes before being born again. There are different types of traditions concerning the lifespan of the Phoenix, but by most traditions, the Phoenix lives up to 500 years until rebirth. The Phoenix could also symbolize renewal in general as well as the sun time.
The thing that interested me the most in this festival was the Chinese Phoenix and the performances. I liked the Phoenix the most, because I was looking at all the decorations all over it, and I was also wondering how long it took them to make these, because seriously, there was a lot on them. I also enjoyed watching the performance because, I enjoyed the dances that they performed and the joy that were on their faces
One activity that was there  were mythical creatures for kids to ride. As me and Amber were riding them, we were so scared even though the creatures were not even real, that was how real the mythical creatures looked. There were also food and concessions. While we were walking around, we were so hungry because all the aromas of the food. There are also folk art souvenirs that you can get. Also, there is a Santa Claus LANTERN that you can take pictures with! And last of all, there is the performance which includes folk dances and and many other amazing talents that the kids showed us in that performance. We hope to see you here!

小記者遊記 ~~ by Amber Lin (age 11)

This year and every other year, the Chinese Lantern Festival comes to the public to bring out its specialty: lanterns. Hanart Culture, its producer, features events that promote Chinese art and culture. This exhibition produces over 1000 of paper lanterns, all handcrafted. This year’s theme being “Blooming Seasons”, it depicts bright lanterns of exotic flowers, palm trees, basically a natural medley of the four seasons.

I walked into the festival under the tall, arched gate of the entrance. It was made of many lanterns, As I walked in, I couldn’t help noticing how intricate and lifelike the lanterns were. The dragons on the arch swayed with the winds. The road was lined with cherry trees, and mushrooms grew inside the garden, with chipmunks beside it.

Right after, we were attracted to the roaring sound from the other side. Then, we saw a couple of mythical creatures known in China and European folklore, alive on the grass, such as qilin (or Kirin) and unicorn. The roaring sounds a little bit scary, and however, it is kind of fun to climb up, sitting on the  saddleback while it is moving like “Mary goes round”. My co-reporter Phoebe and I just could not stop playing with them. Nevertheless, we have to continue our job, reporting more fun things in this Festival.

One of the biggest magnificent lanterns is Dragon. The hundreds of blue lights on the Dragon while it’s poised as flying on sky makes it so thrilling in the dark night.  On the other side, while the variety of flowers floating on the water, a few Phoenixes, the Chinese symbol of new life coming out from the fire gather together, as if they were so proud of being part of nature.

After seeing so many animals, we want to look around the flowers that present the theme, “Blooming Seasons”. The Flower Garden exhibits right after you pass the entrance, while it will take a little bit of effort to climb toward the upper hill. You will get paid off by seeing so many different flowers and plants. Of course, the lights make them so bright at night. I was so amazed when I saw the “flowers” decorated on the arches in series. Walking under the floral lights, I felt as if it was the clear sky.  What makes this Festival more fun is that the producer also mixes some Western common elements, such as Santa Clause and East Bunny to this Festival. That brings more joy and hooray to the families, having children.

After one hour and half of walk in the Flower Garden, we felt hungry. You have so many choices, such as Tacos, Chinese food, snacks, soda for kids and beer for the adults. Then, it came to the show time, Chinese Folklore Dances such as Peacock dance. Everyone was fascinated with the kids’ beautiful dress and skill of dance.

I must admit that this is the best experience I had ever seen the lanterns. The Festival exhibits all Chinese legendary creatures and flowers in vivid that presents “Booming Season” so well.  This is one of the must-seen Festivals you don’t want to miss in this holiday season.
