Patents profit some, could kill many others have on research projects that may or may not see results.

Eve Edmonds

EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

“Could you patent the sun?”

It’s a great question and one with particular resonance at this time when the world awaits the roll-out of a COVID-19 vaccine.

In the past few weeks, four different pharmaceutical companies have released promising results. And while these announcements have been made via press conferences, as opposed to peer-reviewed journals as is usually the case, there is a sense we’re seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

Of course, how long that tunnel is may depend on what country you live in.

Early on, Canada invested in a number of companies that were working on vaccines, which means it will have early access to the shot when it’s rolled out. Lucky us.

But what about the developing countries that can’t even afford testing sites, never mind gambling billions of dollars they don’t

Indian and South African governments are calling on the UN to waive the patent on COVID-19 vaccines so more and cheaper generic versions can be produced.

Pfizer says no, Moderna and AstraZeneca say they will waive the patent until the pandemic is over. AstraZeneca has also agreed to sell the vaccine to developing countries at cost....good ol’ Pfizer.

Clearly Moderna and AstraZeneca understand that, in a pandemic, no one’s safe until everyone’s safe. But even that’s not good enough, according to some.

There’s a campaign afoot to compel companies to waive all intellectual property rights — not just on patents — and disclose their costs in developing and distributing their vaccines so their claims of not making a profit can be verified.

So what would Salk say about all this?

Jonas Salk was the lead researcher on the team that discovered the vaccine for polio in 1952.

When asked in an interview, “who owns the patent on this vaccine?” Salk looked somewhat perplexed by the question, and replied, “Well, the people, I would say.

There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?”

Salk’s response reflects what today seems like a rather quaint attitude towards medical research: that it’s intended for the benefit of humanity, not the bank accounts of shareholders.

I know it’s argued that it is only the lure of billions of dollars in profit (a profit that is even more staggering if a patent is ensured) that motivates people to invest in companies that are doing medical research.

If the gamble pays off, it’s a win-win. Investors see their financial statements spike, and the world gets a life-saving product.

It sounds like a formula that should work, and it does for some but not for all. By using profit as its north star, Big Pharma allowed millions of people in Africa to die of AIDS simply because they wouldn’t allow for the generic production of their drugs.

And what about that opioid crisis?

In ongoing class action suits, we’re seeing how pharmaceutical companies quite intentionally promoted the misuse of their drugs, leading to the heartbreaking devastation we see on our streets today.

No one is saying those responsible for medical breakthroughs shouldn’t be well compensated — very well compensated, in fact. But somewhere in this we need to get our minds around a bigger picture.

Salk’s son, Jonathon Salk, also a doctor, was on CBC radio recently talking patents, his father and human survival.

Salk the younger argues that if we are going to make it as a species, we need to transition from a political economic system that prioritized independence and competition to one that recognizes interconnectivity and cooperation.

His focus is climate change, but be it climate or a pandemic, the idea is the same.

We are one world, and we have one sun.

There may be a place for patents, but coveting knowledge or resources essential for our survival is dodo bird thinking — and we all know what happened to them.

Follow the Scale back on size Church helps process mental health Open letter to mayor and city council,

Dear Editor,

Re: “Ad for student hotel an ‘error,’ “ News, Nov. 19 Regarding the article about the “student” hotel ad....call me a doubter but this smacks mightily of another attempt by a developer to skirt our legal zoning process.

Saying that stays of longer than six months are a deterrent for a student hotel suggests that somehow this is going to be monitored and that courses of sixmonth duration could not be created to make this timeframe feasible.

Once again we are seeing that a developer believes that our council and our citizens can be manipulated to their benefit. It was caught this time and hopefully it will be shown a deal is a deal and, if their original business plan no longer works, then reapply.

RICHMOND

Year after year, residents of Richmond raise their voices to our city councillors about the size of single-family houses, and how it degrades the liveability of their neighbourhood.

A few years ago, recommendations were made and supposedly adopted to scale back the mass of buildings.

It appears these changes are not making much of an impact on the size of buildings being approved.

Returning from a short vacation earlier this month, I was shocked to find a battleshipsized house being framed three lots down.

This large structure,

which looms far above the other homes, now obscures a large chunk of sky and trees that were part of my sightline. The house also extends so far to the rear of the property that, with the four-metre high veranda, any outdoor deck activity will encroach visually and audibly on the privacy of at least seven neighbouring lots. Many of us are not happy about this.

I have watched with sadness as serviceable home after serviceable home in our neighbourhood has been torn down and replaced with cookie-cutter monster homes, many sitting unsold or uninhabited.

of Richmond’s vision of building a more liveable city when builders enjoy the right to build solely for profit, and residents are denied the opportunity to have a say in the future of their neighbourhood.

It saddens me that our street has, over the years, become just another uninspiring and lifeless Richmond street.

Councillors, please explain to me where the planning and approval processes have gone so askew that building permits are being approved that meet the wishes of builders without even taking into account any impacts to the currents residents.

Paul Dylla

Clearly something is missing in the execution

Open letter to Dr. Bonnie Henry:

I am penning an open letter to you, Dr. Bonnie Henry, as I have tried other channels, and cannot get in touch with you.

Attending church is no more, actually less, conducive to COVID-19 transmission than going to eat at a restaurant with six people. In church we wear masks, physical distance, do not sing, do not move around, except for Holy Communion, and only remove masks to consume the Holy Eucharist, the body and blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We attend mass at church — we do not socialize.

Holy Communion is essential to my mental and spiritual well-being. I am sure you do not want me to become depressed, which might result in my inability to take care of myself and my spouse.

Please, be aware, for many British Columbians, church is even more essential than grocery stores.

Thank you very much for your service to British Columbians. And I hope you see that church is the most essential service ever, and act accordingly.

Mask wearing Kudos to the RCMP needs enforcing Dear Editor,

Dear Editor, I was shopping at a local grocery store this afternoon.

On the entrance door there is a prominent sign saying “Face covering required” as per the new provincial requirements.

I encountered three shoppers in the store without masks, one of whom was interacting with a cashier at the till.

As I approached the security guard at the store entrance to ask why these people were allowed to enter the store, another maskless women walked in the door and walked right past the security guard who said nothing to the woman.

I asked him why they weren’t enforcing the mask requirement and he told me that he was instructed by management not to enforce the mask requirement.

When I finished shopping, I stopped by the customer service desk with the same inquiry and was told that staff are not permitted to enforce the mask requirement or even ask a customer to wear a mask. I was told only a manager could enforce the requirement.

I did not encounter a single manager in the 20 minutes I was shopping in the store, so enforcing the provincial requirement for people to wear masks while in a retail store or protecting the health and safety of the customers and staff was clearly not a priority for this store.

I find this absolutely disgusting and unacceptable during this second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

What good is making it a provincewide requirement if it is not going to be enforced?

Re: “Six arrested after police raid on alleged drug labs,” News, Nov. 19 Well done, Richmond RCMP.

The recent drug lab raid and arrests in Richmond represent great work by our local RCMP members while highlighting the importance of combating a very dangerous organized criminal element.

As a retired VPD police officer, I know criminal drug labs hidden in houses, apartments and commercial premises represent a very real threat to our community’s safety from fires, explosions and chemical poisonings, which put firefighters and the public at risk.

Regular drug users, many of whom may suffer from mental illness, as well as people experimenting for perhaps the first time are being killed and they have no idea of the lethal cross-contamination risks of the drugs produced in these labs.

In addition, organized crime brings a wide range of violence and street crime with it.

Innocent people have been caught in the crossfire and have been killed by mistaken identity or, unfortunately, by being in the

wrong place at the wrong time.

For police, fire, city inspectors, bylaw officers, other partner agencies and neighbours, the dangers are real. For police, these investigations are also labour intensive.

Richmond RCMP’s allocation of precious personnel to an Organized Crime Unit in Richmond is a smart move. Organized crime and illegal drug labs are dangerous. Investigations are resource intensive and expensive. However, they are worth the investment.

Organized criminals will look for weaknesses and never consider the safety of the community around them. Public safety, namely police and fire, are appropriately large portions of the city’s operational budget and this case is an example of excellent work by the RCMP and fire-rescue. We must ensure that we allocate the budgetary resources and policy to support the safety of our neighbourhoods.

Dog shot by RCMP Man guilty of manslaughter Kirsten Clarke cers in a “confined space and bit two of them,” RCMP said.

A dog that was shot after lunging at police officers has died, according to Richmond RCMP. Police said they responded to an alleged break-and-enter in progress, at around 6:40 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18.

The suspect allegedly fought with the two responding officers as they attempted to arrest him.

As the situation escalated, the officers called for additional back-up.

Several more Mounties responded and arrived on scene.

However, as the back-up officers entered the building, they “encountered a person with a large dog,” according to a statement from Richmond RCMP. The individual lost control of the dog, which then cornered the offi-

One of the officers was then “ultimately forced” to shoot the dog as it attacked them.

The dog died as a result.

“This was a terribly unfortunate incident for all involved,” said Const.

Kenneth Lau in a statement.

“Police officers often have to make a split second decision between being potentially seriously injured or protecting the safety of themselves, their fellow officers or the public.”

Support will be provided to everyone involved, according to Richmond RCMP. The suspect was arrested.

A 40-year-old man of no fixed address is scheduled to appear in Richmond Provincial Court on Feb. 24, 2021 on break-and-enter charges.

Parents want more remote learning Nono Shen

NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

An online petition, created by a group of Richmond parents, is calling on B.C.’s education minister to consider extending the Transitional Learning Program (TLP).

“As parents, we strongly believe that the authorities should plan for the worst, offer TLP as a long term learning alternative and make adjustments as the future brightens up,” petition creator Carlo Athena wrote on WeChat, a Chinese-language messaging app.

The transitional learning option is for families who don’t feel comfortable returning to school.

Students can remain enrolled in their neighbourhood school or program of choice and return to in-class instruction at the latest on Jan. 31, when the program would end.

Three NDP MLAs, Kelly Greene, Aman Singh and Henry Yao, were sworn in on Tuesday and Teresa Wat, a BC Liberal, will be sworn in on Friday, albeit all virtually, as the legislature starts up again. Here, Greene is sworn in at home.

Photo submitted

However, some Richmond parents are concerned the remote learning option is scheduled to end within three months, and B.C. is still trapped in the second wave of the pandemic.

This petition, first posted on Nov. 16, has collected 290 signatures so far. The organizer would like to get 500 signatures to send to B.C. Education Minister Rob Fleming.

Tax increases on the table

Richmond School District spokesperson David Sadler said a number of factors, including public health assessments, budgets, staffing and impacts on students attending in-person, would need to be considered if the school district were to consider varying or extending the TLP.

Richmond city staff have come up with three scenarios for next year’s taxes with suggested increases of 7.69 per cent, 5.07 per cent or 3.74 per cent.

The lower options, though, will defer hiring more police officers and firefighters, cutting further into the three-year plan to increase the community safety budget from 2019

Parents will be notified of the decision by the end of the first week of January, Sadler added.

The provincial government now wants that Hammersmith Way property — along with four others spread across Richmond, Delta and Abbotsford — the cash, plus cellphones, vehicles, jewelry, and Harley Davidson motorcycles, forfeited as the proceeds of crime.

A notice of civil claim — filed in B.C. Supreme Court on Nov. 13 by the province’s director of civil forfeiture — alleges the properties and items are linked to money laundering and a drug trafficking ring dealing cocaine, methamphetamines, MDMA, fentanyl, illicit cannabis and psilocybin, uncovered during a Delta Police Department (DPD) investigation.

Investigators believe the $18-million drug-trafficking operation has links to organized crime, namely the Hells Angels and UN Gang, according to a statement issued by DPD on Nov. 18. A second probe also took place in October.

The civil forfeiture suit

names as defendants Cole Chalmers Svenson, whose last known address is on Springmont Drive in Richmond; Ghanai Holdings Inc. and two numbered companies, all registered at Richmond addresses; Surrey residents Gill Thomas Rajpaul Bergen and Aleksandr Leonidovitch Shtraimish; and Delta resident Norval Hume McLennan.

The investigation was launched in the summer, after DPD received complaints in July of controlled substance trafficking at a house on Williams Avenue in Delta, which is owned by McLennan.

Through the investigation, police observed people conducting drug-trafficking activities after leaving the Williams Avenue house, which led them to the commercial unit at #128/22811951 Hammersmith Way — the Ironwood property — which is owned by Ghanai Holdings Inc. The civil forfeiture suit outlines how, during the Aug. 26 search of the 11951

Hammersmith Way property, DPD found body armour; an open gun safe with 40-calibre ammunition; a loaded 9mm pistol, and a modified semi-automatic rifle without a trigger lock and with a loaded magazine; a Taser; illicit cannabis; cocaine, including a one-kilogram brick; MDMA pills; Oxycodone pills; 750 Tramadol pills; methamphetamine; psilocybin; and fentanyl.

About $146,000 in cash was also found in two safes at the property, along with a stolen handgun and ammunition. Another $6,000, along with USD$160, was found in a desk and $27,000 in envelopes marked with dates and individuals’ names or initials.

B.C. alleges the commercial and residential properties and seized items are all the “instruments of unlawful activity.”

None of the allegations have been proven in court.

NEWS Fatality at Lafarge

One person has died after an industrial accident in Richmond.

Police were called to the Lafarge cement facility on

RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

No. 9 Road on Nov. 19, for an “industrial accident with a fatality,” according to Richmond RCMP. The business was evacuated due to the incident.

RCMP and WorkSafeBC are investigating.

Mounties said no further information will be released at this time.

Harold Steves (top row, second from right). This is the 1979-1981 city council.

‘Alderman’ thanked for 50 years on council Harold Steves was congratulated at Monday’s council meeting for serving for 50 years on Richmond council.

Steves was elected to council in 1968, but left in 1973 to serve for one term as the NDP MLA. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie thanked Steves on behalf of council and Richmond residents for his 50 years of service.

Brodie explained Steves, then a “young school teacher,” was first elected to Richmond council as an “alderman,” as councillors were referred to then, and went on to a “long and industrious career.”

Steves was the MLA for Steveston in the mid-seventies when the NDP were in power.

“During (this) time, he was instrumental in a number of initiatives, the most prominent — and that has been longlasting — is the Agricultural Land Reserve, but I emphasize there were a whole number of initiatives that Coun. Steves was part of,” Brodie said.

Steves said at the council meeting he’s had people ask him how he’s lasted 50 years, and his reply has been: “Don’t expect things to happen instantly — some things take a long time.”

An example of a long-term project is the Terra Nova Slough, which will soon be opened for spawning salmon, Steves said. This was something that was first discussed in 1968.

“Sometimes it takes 50 years — so, that’s why I’m still here,” he said.

Brodie also pointed out Steves was involved in getting the Iona Island Wastewater Treatment Plant, which will soon be upgraded from a primary plant to a tertiary plant but will have many issues that will have to be dealt with municipally and provincially.

“We’ll draw on your long experience on that one as just one example,” Brodie said.

Steves isn’t planning to run again for council. The next municipal election is in 2022.

Inventor Tortured By The United Kingdom To Issue $1bn+ Claim In International Criminal Court Inventor Richard Perry, founder of Fencebrackets™ and many other construction related products that have sold around the globe, is to bring a substantial claim against the United Kingdom in the ICC for a breach of the UN Convention Against Torture and a breach of the Rome Statue, in relation to Crimes Against Humanity.

A shocking and mortifying eight year ordeal has arisen from events surrounding an alleged major and significant fraud of his lifetime’s work and international business, consisting of market leading construction products and intellectual property rights that he had been creating and accumulating since 2001. His products have sold in millions of units supporting businesses and families around the world.

He had designed, patented, manufactured and distributed his own products that he successfully took to market and which became market leading products. He has revolutionised some areas of construction such as the way people install fencing with his Fencebrackets® and structural fixings products. Amongst other great achievements Richard has also pioneered an entire new method of construction by finding a new way of helping people to insulate their homes. His RafterClips® products enable people to retain insulation between rafters and ceilings etc. which subsequently opened up another new product industry. He had been working on other innovations and had begun setting up his own charity Foundation.

Richard, now 46, had 17 patents granted and had around 100 other worldwide applications pending that would provide IP protection on over 50 retail products, many of which were on sale or in development. He had also built up an internationally recognised business over the course of 15 years with established products and brands that wildly outsold other competing products. Retail outlets would run out of stock within days of his products hitting the shelves. After starting off with less than $150 and a dream in 2001, by 2012 Richard’s business was supplying almost 800 retail outlets across Europe and North America and he was looking forward to a promising future. Proud of building up a thriving international business without having any loans, finance or backing, he had made a staggering and phenomenal achievement and has inspired a countless number of people to have a go and do something positive with their lives. A level of achievement that many dream to accomplish and the type of business and entrepreneurship that creates the jobs and economies of tomorrow.

The excitement and success story has then turned to misery. Between 2003 and 2004 when Richard was starting off with his products he had approached several worldwide firms offering them the opportunity to licence his patents and take the products to market. All of the firms declined and told him that his products would never sell. A few years later and after witnessing his staggering breakthrough, the same worldwide US and European firms decided that instead of licensing his patents in the proper lawful way, they would defraud him to rob him of his investment and incredible achievement. Then when Richard found out about the mass fraud of his work and demanded that the firms compensate him, they issued malicious court cases against him in order to try to put him down and silence him. It is estimated that these firms have made themselves tens to hundreds of millions of dollars from Richard’s creations and investments, without paying him a single cent, whilst his life in left in tatters. Some of these products can be found on sale in Home Depot, Rona, Lowes etc. and are used in construction and in households around the world.

In 2012 a foreign manufacturer alerted Richard to what has turned out to be a sinister, shocking and elaborate criminal conspiracy to defraud him.

Richard says “I found out that the firms were using my name on all of their purchase orders to order goods that were defrauded from my patent rights. They used my name to make it appear that I had given permission to use my IP rights and manufacture the goods, which I had not. I found out that these firms had conspired, plotting to try to get around patent laws to avoid paying me, but by doing so had committed over 25 criminal offences”. Further “These firms have been reckless and totally irresponsible. Law firms bound by oaths issuing perjured cases against inventors to try to avoid punishment for serious crime is despicable. Instead of going about business in a lawful way they tried to get rid of my products from the marketplace because they couldn’t compete with them”. He also says “The firms tried using their corporate might and influence to absolve themselves from any liability for making thousands of criminal transactions of the goods, as well as bribing Government Officials, coercing law firms, and undermining the economy on five continents. The firms had also formed new Companies to try to ring-fence assets made from the proceeds of crime. They went around the DIY retail industry telling retailers to boycott my products and to buy their patent defrauded goods instead”.

Civil cases then commenced in the UK which led to a five year long traumatising ordeal with dozens of hearings and appeals which led to an unlawful and devastating bankruptcy order in 2015 that destroyed Richard’s business and livelihood. It has ruined his career and all of his friendships and relationships and his work has been decimated. He states “I faced a mountain of judicial corruption and crime. Throughout the cases the judges involved deliberately denied all access to any evidence that they knew would prove my allegations. They accepted idiotic legal defences from the firms of ‘we didn’t know’ and ‘it wasn’t us’ whilst failing to demand they produce any evidence that would provide any credible alibi. At one hearing when I had legal representation, a barrister informed the judge that ‘there shouldn’t be any bar to any evidence because this is what the whole thing [the justice system] is all about’. Yet the judges involved continued to deny evidence on dozens of evidence applications and were abusing their positions of public trust. Court clerks colluded with the law firms to prevent justice by refusing to send out Judges Orders and evidence was being stolen to prevent it being heard. It was fraudulent judgement after fraudulent judgement. The judges were well aware that the firms had brought their cases based on hundreds of pages of false witness testimony; testimony proven in their own words and in hard undeniable evidence to be perjured and false. I was on my own up against teams of lawyers and barely allowed to speak. Fighting judicial corruption is terrifying. At one hearing and after another fraudulent judgement was made, the Defendants were heard roaring with laughter at the back of the courtroom, whilst the Judge sat there grinning. It was humiliating and degrading. It made me realise how worthless human life is in the United Kingdom”. Richard had also received correspondence from the President of the EU Parliament that points out that what the United Kingdom is doing is tantamount to a breach of sincere co-operation with Europe and of harmonious trading. The type of oppression that leads to wars.

Richard says that when he reported the situation to the Police in 2015, the Head of Complex Fraud told him “we don’t know what crime is” and turned him away. Absurd behaviour which makes a complete mockery of law enforcement. It is proven in evidence that the Police deliberately destroyed evidence tapes, illegally changed niche entry records and wrote deceitful letters to conceal their own corruption, attempting to prevent justice. After going to the highest Authorities in the Country and with nowhere else to go to for resolution, Richard decided to publish the evidence on a website that he set up in 2018 (https://www.richardperry-versus.com, also a link from fencebrackets.com). After lobbying the Palace, a formal complex fraud investigation was begun. It is understood that the suspect firms, law firms and judges involved are now under Police supervision and written confessions have been received. Some of the suspects have even begun suing one another; presumably to try to get themselves out of it.

However as the years have gone on and without any outcome, the consequences upon Richard’s life and business have been barbaric and it has wiped almost a decade out of his life. He says that he is still tormented by it every minute of every day and has felt on the brink of death for years due to the losses suffered. He says that watching his work being destroyed would be like a parent watching their child being slaughtered. He hopes that someone in power will come forward and help him. He is unable to resume his creations and business until the situation has been resolved. He says that the situation is loathsome, ugly, and makes a mockery of the entire Rule of Law. Richard says “the United Kingdom refuses to recognise the value of, or enforce, intellectual property rights under any circumstances whatsoever, because they hate profit and despise success. This is what happens to you if you invest your talent, love and passion in the United Kingdom”. Richard is now preparing to lay an information against the UK in the International Criminal Courts for mental torture and crimes against humanity. He says “I have the evidence and I’ve waited long enough.

This type of absolute lawlessness doesn’t have any place in a civilized society. I deserve to be rewarded for my work which has helped millions of people all over the world. I want to ensure that people investing their lives into their businesses and innovations have IP rights properly protected”.

NY governor thanks Burnett grad on school.

Maria Rantanen

But the recent letter from Cuomo reminded him of how far his garage-based project had gone in the early days of the pandemic.

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A letter of thanks from Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York, came as a surprise for recent Burnett grad Sean Uy, who was making and shipping out protective wear to health-care workers as COVID-19 was taking a grip on the continent.

As he shipped out his face shields and ear savers, photos poured in from across the continent where he had sent them with messages of gratitude.

Six months after he shipped to New York City home-made face shields that he’d made using a 3D printer in his Richmond garage, the letter from Cuomo came expressing his “sincere appreciation” for the face shields “to help keep New Yorkers safe.”

“This experience has taught me so much, but the vast generosity and kindness of people — near and far — is what continues to inspire me,” Cuomo said in his letter.

“Thank you again for this extraordinary gesture, and your support. I am forever grateful.”

Sean Uy received a letter of thanks from the governor of New York. Photos submitted technology at BCIT’s Richmond campus, said he made the shields to fill in a gap as the world was struggling to get enough PPE. At the beginning of the pandemic, Uy started making face shields after hearing from family living in the United States that front-line health-care workers were not getting all the PPE they needed.

Uy, who is currently studying aerospace

He also made ear savers, imprinted with the word “hero,” for health-care workers who had to wear masks.

Now, with face shields in full production by big companies, Uy has stepped back from making them and is focusing

“I was very happy to receive those, seeing what I had built and touched here, I’m seeing them being used all over North America,” he said.

While he sent hundreds of face shields and ear savers to the U.S., Uy estimates the majority were sent to Canadian facilities, including 300 to the Richmond School District.

Others went to Surrey Memorial Hospital, Rosewood Manor in Richmond and Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver.

They were also shipped across Canada, to Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan.

Zhang eyes Olympics — against Canada they can play in the Olympics.”

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond’s Julius Zhang (left) suited for his Chinese-based club, which plays out of the second tier in Russia. Photo submitted

Three years ago, Julius (Dehan) Zhang would never have believed what was coming down the road in his fledgling professional hockey career.

If someone had even hinted to the Richmond Seafair Minor and Delta Hockey Academy product that he could potentially line up in the Olympic Games — suited for China, against Canada — he’d have thought you were crazy.

But that is exactly the prospect facing 21-year-old Zhang, a Richmondite in every sense of the word, who emigrated from China as a young child, before being selected at 18 for the Chinese national hockey program.

Since then, he’s been playing second tier club hockey in Russia for a Chinese-based team, until the pandemic halted most professional sports.

Zhang is now hoping to return to China in the new year to begin his home nation’s preparations for an Olympic games debut in Beijing in 2022, where they will face Germany, the U.S. and, of course, Canada.

“It’s crazy. In fact, the whole last three years has been crazy,” said Zhang from his parent’s home near Williams Road and Railway Avenue.

“It would be amazing (to face Canada). If you told me this five years ago…I would never have believed it in a million years.

“I’ve gotten lucky with all these opportunities. I have a Chinese passport, I’m only a permanent resident here.

“In order to play in the Olympics for China, you need a Chinese passport and China is one of the only countries that doesn’t allow dual citizenship. They’ve been trying to get players with Chinese-Canadian heritage to go over to play, to strengthen their program.

“There are some ex-NHL guys. But the problem is, they don’t have Chinese passports. They’re trying to get it so

Zhang, who has turned out for the Chinese national U18, U20 and men’s teams, admitted his passport situation gives him a little shove up the ladder, but he’s more than ready to grab it.

As for his native nation’s actual chances competing against the powerhouses of hockey, Zhang said they’ve got a little more than a year to improve.

“As the host country, China received automatic qualification and they obviously want to do well,” said Zhang, who has been training every day since the pandemic and playing some hockey with other pros and university players.

“We’ve always had high level Russian or European coaches. There’s a lot of resources being poured into it. In China, hockey is still new but it’s growing rapidly.

“They have the resources at grassroots level and, of course, they have a huge population, so they will get better.

“I take a lot of pride in growing the game in China. I’m not quite a pioneer, but a role model. It’s a very proud country.

“But as far as I’m aware, I’m the only player on the team who grew up in Canada.”

Facebook Christmas Shoppers, retailers prepare Market helps vendors for different Black Friday

The annual Christmas craft fairs and winter artisan holiday markets won’t likely happen due to the COVID-19 restrictions.

But a Richmond small business owner has taken the events online with a Facebook group.

Megan Chambers said merchants are free to join the group, which now has in excess of 100 independent vendors, 20 of whom are from Richmond. The event is set to run on Facebook from Nov. 22 to 28.

After seeing a couple of similar virtual markets taking off successfully via Facebook, Chambers decided to pivot by connecting local vendors to potential buyers.

“It’s important to support local and individual businesses and the online market is a great way to do that,” said Chambers.

Vendors can post a maximum of one post

per day, and shoppers can arrange for pickup or delivery directly from the vendor. The market will have vendors selling a variety of things, such as candles, clothes, jewellery, among other items.

It’s common to see long lines and huge crowds on Black Friday in normal times, but of course these aren’t normal times given the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, Chambers set up an online fundraising campaign to invite the public to show support for Surrey Christmas Bureau, a charity that provides low-income families with toys, stocking stuffers and grocery cards during the holidays.

Regardless, Richmond-based retailers are still hoping to cash in on the shopping urge — albeit with adjustments to keep both visitors and employees safe.

Chambers said she chose that organization because Surrey is one of the hardest hit areas in Canada during the pandemic, and a lot of families in the area are struggling.

For example, many retailers are extending their Black Friday deals to lure people in over a week or more to avoid a crush of customers on Nov. 27.

McArthurGlen Designer Outlet at YVR has already launched its Black Friday sales which will run until Dec. 4. Its operating hours have also been extended from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Richmond firm involved in rapid COVID contact tracing Richmond’s Vantage Technology has partnered with New-York-based VivaTrace to create a digital contact tracing system that can quickly retrace the path of a COVID-19 infected individual.

According to Vantage, the system will be implemented into a wearable bracelet and will be able to track, in seconds, who the infected person came in contact with and the duration they were exposed, without any interviewing.

Nursing homes and senior living communities have the most vulnerable population, and the system can help save on costs, response time and manual reporting efforts in these high-risk areas, according to a statement from the two companies.

“Operators can leverage this unique capability to instantly identify every resident, employee and visitor who may have been exposed,” read the statement.

Shoppers are asked to go online to take a look at some of the Black Friday deals before they show up and choose a quieter time to visit, according to Ally Day, the marketing manager for McArthurGlen.

Lansdowne Centre is not extending its store hours, but it has invited a couple of vendors from the Vancouver Christmas Market to host a small pop-up market inside the mall over the weekend to bring a holiday atmosphere to visitors.

The tech that’s been developed by Vantage.

“One of the predictions is that this holiday season people will be shopping earlier and also they will consolidate their shopping trip, rather than going to five different locations,” said Bronwyn Bailey, marketing manager at Lansdowne Centre.

Philip Edgell, president of Vantage, said it is important to provide organizations working with the most vulnerable population the “quality care technology they desperately need” during a time when personal relationships matter the most.

The system is being tested in a dementia care facility in the U.S., but is expected to roll out in other facilities next year.

And Richmondite Olivia Wang, a mother of two children, is one of them.

Wang said she has been browsing major online retailing websites to check the latest deals.

“I have stress going into stores. I keep thinking: is there going to be a crowd?

Will I get the sale? Or maybe I should just stay home and shop online,” said Wang.

“Especially given that my kids are living with me, and I want them to be safe.”

However, another Richmondite, Rannie Zhang, would rather visit a bricksand-mortar business.

“I need to see them in the store first — to see, touch and feel products before ordering them online,” said Zhang.

“I don’t want to waste money buying things that don’t live up to my expectations.

Meanwhile, people’s shopping habits have changed this year, with more preferring to take advantage of online shopping to avoid close contact with others.

Richmond Auto Mall Association “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” — Sir Winston Churchill

christmasfund.givesmart.com

This famous quote sums up the Richmond Auto Mall Association’s community giving mandate. Since its inception, in 1985, the Auto Mall has worked with the Richmond community, lending a big helping hand to non-profits, charities, agencies, and service groups.

Auction Highlights

One program of special interest is the Richmond Christmas Fund. Each year, the owners and staff at the Auto Mall go above and beyond to fundraise for the Christmas Fund, to ensure our less fortunate neighbours can share in the holiday spirit.

Restaurant Gift Cards Richmond is home to a smorgasbord of world-class dining options. We’ve got gift cards to some of the best, including The Deck Kitchen + Bar, Continental Seafood Restaurant, Davood’s Bistro, Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant, and more!

In 2020, as an Angel Donor, the Auto Mall has already made a $10,000 contribution. We’ll be raising additional funds through our 17th Annual Windows of Hope event, taking place from December 1 through January 4. To date, Windows of Hope has generated over $330,000 for the Christmas Fund, and we’re excited to add to that total. At the Auto Mall, we treat community like family.

Jewellery A stunning Michael Hill gold chain necklace. An exquisite Mercedes Benz wrist watch. A pair of 18k gold, Italian-made earrings. Our auction includes jewellery for both Mr. and Mrs. Claus!

Appliances, Electronics & Tools Whether you’re in the market for something practical (a pressure washer, a toaster oven, a slow cooker) or something a little fancier (a pair of Apple AirPods, a high-end espresso machine), we’ve got you covered.

Weekend Getaways How does a two-night stay on Salt Spring Island sound? Or a staycation at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport? The pandemic won’t last forever, and after a year like this, you’ve earned some rest and relaxation.

Curing a deficient Will; how far the law has come Introduction Recent B.C. case authority suggests that the law with respect to Wills is changing dramatically and maybe further than we might have expected. When our new legislation was proclaimed in 2014, the requirements for the validity of a Will were preserved (the witnessing, signing, etc.) but the addition of a power for Courts to “cure” deficient Wills really changed the landscape.

The idea behind this new power was to give voice to a Will maker’s intention (as to how she or he wanted their Estate distributed), even if the Will the person made was not proper.

However, I am a little surprised that this power in our Courts seems to extend as far as Wills that were not even signed by the Will maker. Last week, reasons for judgment were released by the B.C. Supreme Court in a case called Rempel Estate v. Dudley. This case is, in my opinion, a fascinating one.

Facts Canada Trust is Administrator of the deceased’s (who died in March, 2015) Estate. The deceased was not survived by a spouse, sibling, nor did he have children. The deceased’s Mother died 18 days after he died. No “formal” Will was found after the search of his residence. The “testamentary documents” received by Canada Trust were on 2 memory sticks. A cousin of the deceased, who lives in Saskatchewan, provided the memory sticks.

One memory stick contained recordings of testamentary conversations the deceased had with a Notary Public. Those conversations were not followed up with a Will, though. The other memory stick contained various “files” of documents dating from 1998 through to 2014. One document was a fairly thorough Testamentary document, made in 1998, although it was not signed.

Another “file” contained documents such as questionnaires with information which might have lead towards a Will, had their been further follow up, but they were apparently not “testamentary” and were not conclusive (names of beneficiaries were left blank, etc.). Other documents described further discussions with a different Notary Public. Those discussions also ended without the making of a formal Will.

The Court noted, with respect to the 1998 “Will”, that the deceased ended it with the words “these are my wishes” (though, again, the deceased did not sign it).

Court’s decision The Court reviewed the law with respect to section 58 of the Wills Estates and Succession Act (our governing law). That section allows the Court to “cure” an apparently deficient Will, if the Court holds the view that the document is an expression of the Will maker’s “fixed and final intention” with regard to the distribution of her or his Estate.

The Courts view in this case was that in the Will maker’s conversations with the two Notaries Public, no conclusive testamentary document was made. The documents prepared and filled out, the questionnaires, notes and memoranda, were incomplete and did not constitute a “Will”. However, the 1998 document, unsigned as it was, stated that the document was the deceased’s wishes. The Court held that it did therefore constitute a Will and so it was cured.

Conclusions This is not the first case I have seen where the “Court cured” document was derived from a computer. It is, arguably, to be expected that more people are using computers to prepare documents. In fact, during this Pandemic, more legal work is being done electronically. Wills can be prepared in a computer, signed using zoom, and are recognized as validly prepared and executed. So it is clear, now, that Wills can be cured, despite not being signed nor in “hard copy” format. To my mind, this is a monumental change from the law as it was before 2014.

What does this mean now? In my view, at least a few things.

First, there is no substitute for a properly witnessed, signed Will in hard copy. It is clearly the most straightforward document to have to deal with.

Second, a representative or Executor of an Estate has a more complex job.

It is common now for people who have passed away, to have a computer.

That has to be considered a source of information for any Estate. A person making a Will would be wise to place a memo with the Will, describing any relevant documents that will be in the computer (such as a tax return or other document) and how to access it. Of course, passwords would be extremely useful as well.

Third, everyone needs to know that this is all an expensive proposition.

If a person intends to distribute an Estate in a certain way, they don’t save their family or Estate any money (nor time) by not making a readily available, written, signed Will. Anything else that may be done (like a memorandum or unsigned Will type document) will have to be approved or cured by a Court, and that will take time and it will cost a lot of money, to be sure.

Finally, any Executor or representative, must look through everything when searching for a person’s records after they pass away. Any document may be interpreted as being “testamentary”. Even if a written Will, properly done, is found, other documents could exist which may not invalidate the Will, but could potentially add to it. If a Will is found, validly executed, but with handwriting on it, do not assume it should be thrown out. It will, today, potentially still be valid. Every document found in a person’s residence, safety deposit box, work place or Lawyer’s office, has to be considered “fair game” and should be reviewed to make sure it has or does not have anyy bearing on the intended distribution of that person’s Estate, the choosing of an Executor, funeral preferences, and so on.

Moving house — along the Fraser River PUZZLE ANSWER IN CLASSIFIEDS

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Someone was spotted moving house in Richmond last week.

Not really newsworthy at all, unless you are literally moving your entire house, by barge, along the south arm of the Fraser River.

This interesting sight was captured by Richmond photographer Denis Beauvais at around 12:30 last Thursday, heading west

by Deas Island Park.

Beauvais guessed the three-level new build was constructed in New Westminster and was being shipped to one of the islands, which is apparently cheaper than hauling material and building from scratch on an island.

However, in fact, the house was built on land in Delta at International Marine Floatation Systems.

A ‘float home’ gets towed along the south arm of the Fraser River. Denis Beauvais photo At launch, it weighed approximately 180 tons or 360,000 pounds and is now at its permanent location in Ladner, on River Road.

According to the company that built the “float home,” it was designed to be very energy efficient and will be capable of full operation off grid.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION NOTICE TAKE NOTICE THAT FPI Fireplace Products International Ltd. of 6988 Venture Street, Delta, BC V4G 1H4 applies to the Metro Vancouver Regional District (“Metro Vancouver”) pursuant to the Greater Vancouver Regional District Air Quality Management Bylaw 1082, 2008 for a Permit.

SEEGERS, Nel (nee Tjaarda) January 20, 1923 - November 20, 2020

BARTEL, Brenda Elaine (Abrams) June 22, 1957 - November 17, 2020

Nel slipped away suddenly but peacefully at Royal City Manor with her daughter, Peggy, at her side.

She is predeceased by her husband Jan (2009) and son Rudy (2015). She will be greatly missed by her daughters, Peggy and Marianne, grandchildren, Carla (Edward), Brenda, Amanda, Marika (Adrian), Anthony, great grandson Jan, and much loved “extended family” Mary and Jim, Steve, Lelia, Sandi, as well as numerous nieces and nephews both in Holland and in Canada.

Brenda died peacefully in Richmond hospital on November 17, 2020 at the age of 63 years. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Rudy, parents Tillie and Irvin Abrams, and brother-in-law Bob Buckingham. Brenda will be dearly missed by her three daughters: Ashley Epp (Keith), Emily Thompson (Mark), Alexandria Martin (Brice); 8 siblings Carol Cooper (Marty), grandchildren; Angela Buckingham, and Kenton Abrams (Randy); brothers-in-law Fred and George Bartel; and many dear friends.

Nel was born in Middleburg, Holland, and immigrated to Canada in 1951, with her husband and infant daughter (Peggy).

Brenda was diagnosed with MS several years ago but it did not slow her down from cultivating lasting friendships and being a beacon of light to the world.

Nel was a proud member of Girl Guides of Canada for well over 50 years. She had the Guiding office in her house for many years, helping young women earn their badges and steps through the years.

Back in the day, Nel travelled to many places with the Girl Guides of Canada and the US, as well with her grandchildren.

Nel and Jan spent many years travelling around BC and the USA, with the Richmond Golden Rod n’ Reels.

They enjoyed the beautiful lakes of the great outdoors, fishing and camping along with other family members.

Special thank you to Brenda’s numerous caregivers, and medical team who supported her over the many years. Your care and compassion will forever be appreciated.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. Due to the current socialization restrictions, a celebration of Brenda’s life will be limited to a private graveside service.

The family thanks the staff at Royal City Manor, for their care and attention.

In lieu for flowers, donations to the Girl Guides of Canada or to the Canada Cancer Society would be appreciated.

A Celebration of Nel’s life will be held at later date.

Applicant: Trans Mountain Corporation (TMC), 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby BC V5A 4S9, Email: info@transmountain.com as well as the toll-free info line 1.866.514.6700 In accordance with the British Columbia’s Pest Management Act and Regulations, TMC is required to develop a Pest Management Plan (PMP) (for TMC the PMP is referred to as the Integrated Vegetation Management Plan (IVMP)). The IVMP manages problem vegetation, including control of noxious weeds and invasive plants within TMC’s rights-of-way and access roads to its pipeline systems. In British Columbia, TMC operates the Trans Mountain Pipeline transporting crude oil and refined products from Edmonton, AB to Burnaby, BC. The pipelines are located below ground and in the proximity to the following communities in British Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Darfield, McLure, Heffley Creek, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam and Burnaby.

This IVMP has been prepared to replace the existing 5-year IVMP which expires in April 2021. The proposed duration of the IVMP is from May 1, 2021 to May 1, 2026.

The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, selective slashing, girdling, geotextile fabric, retaining existing low or self-sustaining ground cover, seeding, fertilization where setbacks permit and tree/shrub plantings. The use of pesticides (herbicides) are intended within the geographic area to which the PMP (IVMP) applies. TMC conducts all work, including pest (herbicide) management, in strict adherence with all applicable Acts and regulations.

The active ingredient names and an example of trade names of the pesticides (herbicides) proposed for use under this plan include: aminocyclopyrachlor (Navius VM), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Lontrel 360), dicamba (Vanquish), diflufenzopyr (Overdrive), diuron (Diurex 80 WDG), flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), indaziflam (Esplanade SC), MCPA (MCPA Amine 500), mecoprop-P (Mecoprop-P), metsulfuron methyl (Clearview), picloram (Grazon), pyroxasulfone (Torpedo), triclopyr (Garlon XRT), 2,4-D (2,4-D Amine 600), esterified vegetable oil (Hasten adjuvant) and paraffinic oil and alkoxylated alcohol non-ionic surfactants (Gateway adjuvant).

Application methods include: backpack, power hose and nozzle, stem injection, wick/wipe-on applicator, and boom sprayer.

A draft copy of the proposed IVMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be reviewed online on the Trans Mountain website from using this link https://www.transmountain.com/vegetation-management
