Birth tourism lawsuit defendant denies offering medical help

failed to do so

One of the defendants in Richmond’s “birth tourist” lawsuit has applied for extra me to file a response to the allega ons.

Jie Zheng is accused in a BC Supreme Court lawsuit of misrepresen ng the level of antenatal and/or perinatal care and exper se her Richmond “birthing house” would be giving the wife and child of claimant Peng Chen

The Richmond News reported last year how Chen, who flew in from China with his wife in 2018 so their child could be born in Canada, filed a lawsuit on behalf of his infant son, Stephen.

Chen claimed his son was born at Richmond Hospital with complica ons and alleged that two doctors Brenda Tan and Balbinder Gill as well as Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH), were negligent in

the provision of medical care to Stephen and his mother, Rang Heng

He further alleged that Zheng who operated or worked at ABC, a birthing house on Ash Street in Richmond took advantage of the fact that he had “li le or no knowledge of the health-care system

in Canada” and that he was “par cularly vulnerable” to the alleged misrepresentaons from Zheng

However, Zheng, who had not filed a response in the allo ed me, recently applied to the BC Supreme Court asking for an opportunity to respond, claiming that she and her family were living in China when the lawsuit was filed in 2020.

While out of the country, Zheng claimed the four tenants ren ng her property were instructed to forward her mail, but had

It wasn’t un l January of this year that a new tenant forwarded her correspondence with regard to the court proceedings

Zheng further claims to have no knowledge of the aforemen oned ABC business, had nothing to do with assis ng Chinese ci zens give birth in Canada and that the only service she offered was room and board and not any medical care.

Chen’s lawsuit makes references to complica ons at the me of his son’s birth, resul ng in his child being in the intensive care unit for several days a�erwards

Chen, a resident of China, claims that, as a result of the doctors and hospital’s negligence, his son suffered brain damage, seizures, delayed growth and development, cerebral palsy and cogni ve impairment

All of the allega ons in the lawsuit are denied by the par es involved and none have been proven in court.

Bike lane questions remain unanswered

Dear Editor,

Re: “5-4 vote quashes Steveston mul�-use pathway,” Richmond-News.com, May 24.

Your ar�cle repeats uncri�cally what in my opinion is a misleading view of the Steveston Highway project prepared by city staff

One ques�on is whether the air pollu�on from vehicles on Steveston Highway is much worse than it is on the Williams Road alternate route.

World-recognized experts at UBC on the adverse health effects from vehicle emissions looked at the Steveston Highway proposal and said it should be moved to Williams Road

They debunked the no�on that the air pollu�on is about the same on both routes The staff asser�on that only emissions from diesel trucks ma er ignores the fact that the emissions from the 43,400 cars per day that pass by the Steveston Highway and Gilbert intersec�on are equivalent to 2,284 diesel trucks

Bus stop bin badly needed

Dear Editor,

The ar�cle neglects to men�on that building the mul�-use pathway (MUP) requires narrowing the vehicle lanes on Steveston Highway with the asser�on by city staff that this will slow down traffic As anyone who drives Steveston Highway can tell you, narrowing the lanes is a nightmare scenario.

The online ar�cle also presented a pre y image of the MUP prepared by city staff showing a wide divider with trees between the MUP and the roadway

The actual width is one metre The UBC experts and the U S Environmental Protec�on Agency specify that outdoor physical ac�vity shouldbekeptatleast100metresfromanundivided four-lane highway like Steveston Highway City staff like to quote Metro Vancouver reports, but neglect to men�on that those same reports recommend keeping pedestrian and bicycle paths away from busy roads

Dear Editor, Re: “‘Urgent’ need for more school space,” News, May 25.

So, I think we have seen this before: a city government approves rezoning to allownumerousnewcondo towers, then, as expected,

hundreds of families move in and there are no school spaces for them

Hmm, I wonder where all the kids that will move into the Richmond Centre towers will go to school?

Come on, city council; when a developer applies

for rezoning, you have all the power. Make the rezoning condi�onal on a community centre and a school being pre-built with every new larger scale redevelopment

Workers rally after two years picketing

site for travellers landing at Vancouver International Airport

Province, feds fund HVAC

Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS COM

Dozens of Richmond hotel workers held a rally last Thursday evening to mark the two-year anniversary of being on strike

The employees of the now former Pacific Gateway Hotel, on Cessna Drive, made their feelings known once more with signs and songs and were joined by fellow members from across the region

During the pandemic, the hotel, which has now rebranded as the Radisson Blu, terminated 143 long-term staff.

However, it’s understood the hotel raked in millions of dollars from the federal government during that time as it was being used as a federal quarantine

According to the workers’ union, UNITE Here Local 40, the hotel owner, an affiliate PHI Hotel Group, refused to recall staff as business recovered, as other local hotels have done

The federal government removed the hotel from its suite of quarantine hotels in 2022 after pressure from the union, while workers have been on the picket line daily since May 2021

The BC Federation of Labour and the Canadian Labour Congress have issued a boycott of the hotel until the owner agrees to rehire workers and settles a fair contract

The City of Richmond also resolved not to support events or promote business with the hotel until a resolution is reached with the workers.

The provincial and federal governments have earmarked $2 4 million to improve ventilation in eight schools and one social housing complex in Richmond

Ventilation upgrades will take place at both elementary and secondary schools, for example, to replace fume hoods in labs

The HVAC components that pull fresh air into buildings and other systems will also be improved with an aim to reduce energy consumption Richmond Board of Education chair Debbie Tablotney was joined by Parm Bains, MP for Steveston-Richmond East, and school board staff at R A

McMath secondary last Thursday afternoon to announce the funding

“Improving the air quality in our schools is a priority for the Richmond School District, and we welcome this investment by the federal and provincial governments to support this important work,” said Tablotney, adding this has been “urgently requested” by parents.

“It will also allow us to improve energy efficiency and create a safer and healthier learning environment for our students and staff. ”

Rosewood Towers, a social housing building in Richmond, will also receive part of the funding to upgrade its makeup air unit systems, dampers, bathroom fans and ventilation system throughout both of its towers

“The funding announced today will help safeguard the health of students, staff and public housing residents in Richmond and protect the overall well-being of the community,” he said

The B.C. government is providing its portion of the funding through the Climate Preparedness and Adaptation Strategy

The strategy aims to respond to and prepare communities for climate impacts including extreme heat

Last year, the Richmond School District announced it would spend $12 million from its capital budget to improve ventilation in 17 elementary schools.

Tesla owner takes charging issue to civil tribunal

Vikki Hui

VHUI@RICHMOND-NEWS COM

A Richmond Tesla owner is seeking compensation from Tesla’s Vancouver service centre after the sensor for his charging port stopped working right after a repair session.

Richmond resident Chen Shen scheduled a repair with a Tesla mechanic after his taillight came loose during a car wash

But after a mechanic came by his house for a 30-minute session on May 1, he noticed a new problem

The charging port on his car had stopped responding

“The charging port worked the night before (the mechanic) came We used the charging cable to charge the vehicle. And then it worked in the morning, like the day he came,” said Shen

“And then it failed right after he left And it’s been working for five years and no problem at all.”

Shen went to the Vancouver service centre on West 4th Avenue the next day to complain but claimed he didn’t get a satisfactory response

“They said, ‘Oh no, that’s a coincidence,’” Shen told the Richmond News, adding he was told there was “no possibility” the me-

chanic had damaged the charging port

Shen was told there were two different parts for the taillight and the charging sensor.

He told the News, while he can still charge the car, he has been inundated with error messages on his screen, warning of issues with his charging port sensor

He also received an estimate from Tesla for $1,276 80 to replace the charging port

The News has reached out multiple times to Tesla and the Vancouver service centre for comment but has yet to receive a response

Shen filed an application with the Civil Resolution Tribunal at the beginning of the month and is seeking compensation of $1,276 80 from Tesla

He told the News the issue has been “very annoying,” adding his warranty expired two months prior.

“I called (the) technician like four or five times for just minor issues on the vehicle because (it’s) a Tesla There (were) so many problems with the vehicle before,” said Shen.

He recalled having to replace both his taillights for water damage, as well as other issues with his Falcon door

“Many problems with the car. So, we have to call them once in a while So very, very annoying ”

More victims of rogue landscaper surface

Alan Campbell

More vic ms of Richmond’s rogue landscaper are surfacing a�er the Richmond News broke the story of his trail of woe

The News reported last week how several Richmond residents felt they had been duped by Chris “Slawko” Hawryluk, who had turned up at their doors offering landscaping services

On each occasion, Hawryluk who used a “Pro Pruners” business card agreed to carry out a range

of work in their gardens, take thousands of dollars from the homeowners and then ply them with illhealth excuses a�er doing a day or two’s labour

Hawryluk gave two neighbours in west Richmond a different excuse each me for not being able to finish the jobs first up, Brian Flagel was told Hawryluk had a broken foot, before a woman down the street was told it was a bad back.

A�er the story about the door-to-door landscaper came out last week, another Richmond resident, Kelly Dhillon, contacted the News to say she successfully took Hawryluk to a Civil Resolu on Tribunal (CRT) a year ago

And his ex-wife and Richmond resident, Lynne Fay, also called in, claiming that her near 70-year-old ex-husband has been pulling this stunt for decades. Dhillon, meanwhile, had to take Hawryluk to the court in Richmond, despite the CRT ruling in May 2022 that he had to repay her the $2,000 she gave him as a deposit for a $4,000 backyard landscaping job in the summer of 2020

That case eventually led to an arrest warrant being issued for Hawryluk earlier this year

He finally appeared in court earlier this month, where a judge ordered him to pay Dhillon back in four instalments, star ng next week

“It’s not really about the money any more, it’s more about him taking responsibility,” Dhillon told

the News, adding that she wants as many people as possible to be aware of Hawryluk’s methods

In the original CRT case, Hawryluk claimed he had offered to give Dhillon a refund but failed to do so because she was “harassing” him.

Dhillon told the CRT that Hawryluk was “largely absent and did almost no work ”

His most recent “customers,” Flagel and his neighbour went to the RCMP but say they were told it was a civil ma er and there wasn’t much they could do

“Unfortunately, he does just enough work to eliminate possible criminal charges,” claimed Flagel “It becomes a civil matter because he has failed to deliver on an unwri en contract. Good luck with that in court ”

The News has made several a empts to contact Hawryluk on the number on his business card and le� a message on his voicemail.

He has yet to reply Richmond RCMP told the News that people should always check a business’ background before giving money

MLA defends pulling land out of the ALR

farming once the landfill stopsoperating,Dietrichsaid

It’s like EcoWaste is back to square one in its plans to build a large-scale recycling facility

This is how it felt to the landfill’s vice-president of recycling and waste services, Christian Dietrich, as the company figures out how to move forward with plans on its east Richmond site.

After a surprise decision from the province earlier this year to exclude its land from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) despite opposition from Richmond city council

Dietrich met with city staff to figure out next steps.

EcoWaste plans to build a large materials recycling facility on the east Richmond site to recycle about 30 per cent more of the waste that’s brought onsite, with a diversion goal of 65 per cent

But in order for its business case to be viable, it needs time and height a longenough timeframe so its investment is worth it and a higher maximum height to continue burying those materials that can’t be recycled, Dietrich told the Richmond News

Without the latter, EcoWaste will have to start shipping excess demolition waste to places such as Washington State

The city gave EcoWaste six months to file for rezoning

Essentially, the landfill would be rezoned from its current agricultural zoning to an agricultural zoning with certain permissions allowing the landfill business to continue operations.

The city indicated it wants a plan to revert the land to

EcoWaste created such a plan about 30 years ago, something the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) required it to do

“We haven’t changed that strategy, but the city wants more detail,” Dietrich said.

MLA defends exclusion

The BCNDP MLA who represents the riding where EcoWaste is located defended the province’s decision to pull the land out of the ALR, saying it “makes absolute sense”

The decision “has no impact on food-producing land,” said Aman Singh, MLA for Richmond-Queensborough, given the site has been used as a construction and demolition landfill for decades.

Ultimately, however, pulling the land out of the ALR was the ALC’s and province’s decision, Singh said, and the government had to look at the issue on a province-wide basis.

Singh questioned if anyone would want to eat food grown on a former landfill

“That site holds no soilbased agricultural value,” he said. “There’s no reasonable way to remediate that land”

Before the exclusion decision, the company was caught in a regulatory bind when the province changed the rules in 2019 and said

properties in the ALR could no longer be used as landfills At that point, EcoWaste had been operating for almost 50 years, but they had created a plan for the materials recycling facility

They asked Richmond city council to allow an applica-

tion to go forward to the ALC to pull the land out of the agricultural reserve, but they received a unanimous “no”

It was a few months later when the province made the announcement the land was being removed from the ALR.

Allowing the land out of the ALR means construction companies will have somewhere to deposit their waste, thereby, stopping them from depositing it on viable food-producing land, Singh said

“This ensures no more dumping on farmland,” Singh said

And now EcoWaste can plan its material recovery facility, which they say will double their capacity to recycle, reducing the amount of waste that gets buried, Singh added

Q:

We are going to re-do our old rotten decking. Friends have suggested composite, is there any other options, as we are looking for something a little more environmentally friendly.

A: If you are looking for a durable, eco-friendly and beautiful decking material, you should consider bamboo MOSO decking. Bamboo decking has many advantages over composite and hardwood decking, such as:

• Bamboo is a renewable and fast-growing resource that can be harvested every 5-6 years, unlike hardwood trees that take decades to mature

• Bamboo has a higher tensile strength and hardness than most wood species

• MOSO Bamboo is CO2 neutral

• Bamboo decking is resistant to insects, mold, rot and fire, making it a low-maintenance and long-lasting option for your outdoor space

• Bamboo decking has a natural and elegant appearance that can complement any style of architecture and design.

• Bamboo decking is easy to install and work with, as it has a hidden fastening system that creates a smooth and seamless surface

Bamboo MOSO decking is a smart and sustainable choice for your home It offers superior performance, durability and aesthetics compared to composite and hardwood decking. You will not regret choosing bamboo decking for your next project!

Q: A:

I went for a denture consultation, and I was told that I required soft tissue management because of irritated and damaged gum tissues. What is this?

Soft tissue management is a rehabilitation of damaged gum tissues. Irritation and damage to your gum tissue may result from micro organisms harbored in your dentures’ old acrylic, or ill fitting dentures. First, your dentures require cleaning to remove unhealthy organisms contributing to the infl ammation and edema (swelling). Tissue conditioners (temporary soft lining material) are placed on the tissue fitting surface of your dentures to provide a clean positive adaptation to your gum tissues Healing begins and your tissues are reassessed in a week to confirm the progress of healing. Second and/or third tissue conditioner may need to be applied before continuing the construction of new dentures. Healthy, pink, hard tissues, provide the important base foundation required for a successful denture. New dentures promote a healthy, clean, accurate fitting surface for many years If you have any questions regarding this procedure or any other denture related subject, please book your free consultation with us.

Discover the Power of Planning Q:

Q:What does alternative health mean and how is it different from medicine?

A:An “alternative” is defined as “another choice” – but the alternative in health care may also be the less obvious choice. Traditional medicine encourages patients to seek a doctor’s help as a response to illness, alternative health-care providers focus on prevention. If you are interested in exploring an alternative health-care solution - a great place to start is with chiropractic care. For more than 100 years, chiropractors have worked to transform the “traditional medicine” health-care paradigm from one based on treating disease to one focused on prevention. What can chiropractic do for you? A lot! Chiropractors believe that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself and that the structure of the spine relates to the function of the body Rather than relieving only symptoms, chiropractors help patients prevent illness by achieving optimal health.

How long should grief last after the death of a loved one? Q: A:

grieve the same. Grief is natural and the process takes s time. Our lives have been disrupted and we are anxious over the lack k of control that we have. Often our sorrow seems overwhelming and d we may feel that we will never recover from it. Grief is not tidy It does not travel l neatly along smooth straight roads but rather is akin to an emotional roller coaster r ride of bumpy ups and downs. To mourn is normal, to cry is healthy It is not wrong or bad to grieve, rather it is wrong to not grieve Grief is nature’s way of f assisting us to cope with loss we have experienced and to take the love and d emotion that we had in the person we have lost and to reinvest it in those living g around us. Eventually we will be able to work through our feelings and arrive at t a state of acceptance. The healing power lies within ourselves. So, to grieve is a very human, healthy and necessary response to loss.

Sales drop, prices stable

Maria Rantanen

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS COM

Home sales in Richmond dropped almost 50 per cent early this year, but this didn’t translate into lower prices across the city.

A typical single-family home in Richmond sold for $2.1 million in the first quarter of this year down negligibly from last year and townhouses on average sold for $1 1 million, virtually the same as last year.

Only condo prices seemed to go down, with a City of Richmond report showing a 12 3-per-cent decrease compared to last year They seemed, however, to rebound

slightly in April, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.

The Bank of Canada raised its interest rates several times last year in an effort to cool the housing market, going from 0 25 per cent in January 2022 to 4 5 per cent this January

All types of homes in Richmond single-family, condos and townhouses saw a significant drop in sales during this time period

Homes for sale were also on the market much longer than a year ago For example, condos were listed on average 43 days in the first quarter of 2023, which is twice the length of time compared to a year prior with files from Daisy Xiong

Sick birds at nature park

Vikki Hui

VHUI@RICHMOND-NEWS COM

The bird baths and birdseed feeders at Richmond Nature Park were temporarily taken down after sick finches were spotted in the area

The decision was apparently prompted by the discovery of two sick birds, according to local bird photographer Anabelle Wee She spotted a distressed purple finch last week and informed nature park staff of its condition. The bird was then captured for further investigation

“Sadly, (staff) said the sick finch died last night,” Wee told the Richmond News last week

She added staff told her they suspected the bird, and another finch that was found dead earlier in the week, had died from Trichomonosis, a disease caused by parasites

According to the Canadian Wildlife Health Co-operative, Trichomonosis doesn’t pose a threat to humans or other mammals

Although they have yet to determine how the birds got sick, as a safety precaution, staff have removed feeders that contain seed

A sign was put up on Thursday to inform nature park visitors saying this decision was made “to protect our birds from avian flu ”

However, Richmond city spokesperson Clay Adams said nothing suggests an avian flu outbreak in the community

He added many bird species are at “constant risk of disease” because of contaminated feeders and water

“That is why anyone with feeders should ensure they are kept clean and removed if directed by wildlife experts,” Adams said

Dozens of cycling enthusiasts from near and fargatheredatBurne secondaryonSaturday morning for a leisurely ride for a good cause and to celebrate their community

The bike ride started as a way to remember two Richmond educators and cycling enthusiasts former McNair secondary principal Lorne Bodin and former McKay elementary vice-principal Targe Ng

Now in its 11th year, the event has blossomed into an annual fundraiser to support local students

“It’s always special to be together with colleagues and friends,” said Rob Laing, who organized the event with fellow educators Jim Allison and Jason Leslie.

For many par�cipants, the event takes them back to the days they spent with Bodin and Ng

“And to have a specific day where we can gather to really remember these two amazing individuals, it’s a special day for us”

“It feels great being here, seeing all these people here to celebrate Lorne and my dad’s memory Just feels really awesome,” he said

The annual ride has raised more than $40,000 for scholarships since 2013, benefit�ng gradua�ng Grade 12 students from all 10 secondary schools in Richmond.

This year, more than $3,000 has been raised so far and will be divided into $500 scholarships The next goal is to raise at least $5,000 so each of the 10 high schools will get a scholarship.

As the cyclists set off for a breezy ride down the Railway Greenway, excited for the barbecue awai�ng them at the end of the ride, they were cheered on by Jan Bodin, Lorne Bodin’s wife.

“It’s just so nice that they come together once a year for (Lorne) and Targe and have a great day and do something that they both love,” she said “I find today super emo�onal, but in a really good way.”

Tears flow, hope swells on Dustin’s walk for DMD

Valerie Leung

A Richmond family was brought to tears a�er around 100 people a ended a 3.3-kilometre walk to raise funds for a common fatal form of muscular dystrophy on Sunday a�ernoon

Dus n Haraguchi, age five, was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in February 2022, “a hard diagnosis to receive” described Erika Haraguchi, Dus n’s mom

DMD is a gene c disorder primarily affec ng young boys It is a degenera ve disease that causes muscles to weaken progressivelyandthefunc onsofvitalorganstodeteriorate,leading to shorter lives

Groups of families, friends, classmates and sports club members joined the Haraguchi family in the grass field outside of Manoah Steves elementary for the Sunday event

“It’s unbelievably difficult and amazing at the same me,” said Erika.

“The school and the community have been so suppor ve the en re way.

“We know that there’s no cure currently, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be (in the future). So doing things like this (fundraising walk) gives us hope”

She said the family plans to organize the walk every year to keep spreading the word about DMD and fundraise for a cure

“It is so beau ful to see everyone coming out to not only support Dus n but also other kids who are diagnosed with this disease,” said Erika, as she wiped her tears

“I want this to be a fun thing I’m hoping the kids will want to come back and be like ‘Hey, remember we did that walk?’ and keep this going.”

The event was organized by Michelle May, Dus n’s aunt and Erika’s sister.

She described her nephew as “a light in this world” with an infec ous smile and a sweet and caring personality and hoped to reflect just that through the event by giving back to Defeat Duchenne Canada, which supports Dus n and other kids like him across the country.

Erika told the Richmond News that there were no signs or symptoms of Dus n having DMD un l he was just shy of his fourth birthday

“Our whole world kind of came crashing down at that moment, but since then, we’ve been able to take it day by day and he’s happy,” she said

Dus n will be a ending Kindergarten in September and while Erika doesn’t “feel ready” she believes her son is
