Lawsuit claimsdeadly crashcaused byunintendedaccelerationAstonMartin DB9 slammedinto vehicles at 220 km/h

by Martin van den Hemel

Staff ReporterAB.C. SupremeCourt lawsuit filed against the

manufacturer of a $200,000 car involved in afatal May 2013 crash involving eight vehicleson Westminster Highway, claims a phenom-enon known asunintended accelerationwasat least partly to blame.As first reported in The Richmond Review last

year, sources said an RCMP investigation con-cluded thatmechanical failurewas to blame inthe crash atWestminster Highway and KnightStreet, a finding that was not passed on toTransport Canada.But now the driver of the 2007 Aston Martin

DB9, Vancouvers Jessica Ying Zhu, and a pas-senger in her car, Lili Yang, claim in separatelawsuits that AstonMartin and Fordwere neg-ligent.The lawsuit paints a newpicture ofwhat hap-

pened on a clear, warm spring afternoon thatproved deadly for the passenger in aMercedesBenz SUV who was stopped for a red light inthe westbound lane at the intersection.Yangs lawyer, Farzana Mohamed from the

Vancouver law firm Mackoff and Company,told The Richmond Review Thursday that a keysafety feature that other car manufacturers in-troduced as early as 2000, was missing fromthe Aston Martin DB9 driven by Zhu.Notwithstanding that the DB9 was a high

power vehicle, theDB9was not equippedwitha brake-throttle override system, which at allmaterial timeswas a known safety feature thatdoes, in these circumstances, enable the brakesystem to overcome the acceleration.

City contractor repairing centrepieceof popular playground

by Matthew Hoekstra

Staff ReporterPint-sized visitors to a popular Richmond playground will

soon get their treehouse back.Over the winter vandals ruined the 10-metre tall treehouse

at Terra Nova Rural Park by cutting its rope-like safety nettingon three occasions.The playground centrepiece and its long tube slide have

been closed ever since.Now the city says the structure should reopen before theMay

long weekend next week.We worked with the contractor and looked at a variety of

different options, said Ted Townsend, city spokesperson.Stainless steel cable railings are being installed on the struc-

ture, offering the best combination of vandal-resistance, du-rability and east of maintenance, while still maintaining thecharacter of the treehouse.Portions of the Terra Nova Adventure Play Environment

opened last August before dignitaries cut the ribbon Sept.27, 2014.Despite the treehouse closure, families have still been drawn

to other elements of the playground, including 35-metreziplines, an aerial rope walkway, a log jam climbing structureand other features.

en in court.Mohamedsaid it could take twoor three

years, or more, before this case goes totrial. She noted that most of these casesare settled out of court.Last year, Richmond Mounties an-

nounced that no criminal charges werebeing recommended in the case.Sources told The Richmond Review that

mechanical failure was the conclusion ofa forensic investigation of the crash, buta Freedomof Information request on thepolice file resulted in limited informationthat was significantly redacted.The Review appealed to the Office of

Departmental Policy and Access to Infor-mation earlier this year, but has not yetreceived a response.The FOI request did reveal that the

Aston Martin appeared to be in goodworking order, and that it had been well

maintained.The Review also revealed early last year

that an automotive journalist in Englandexperienced sudden acceleration in a2013 Aston Martin DB9. Experts say thatthe2013AstonMartinDB9 is substantiallythe same as the 2007model.Despite having his foot on the brake,

veteran automotive journalist GregFountainwrote inCARMagazine that thevehicles engine suddenlybegan revving.I pressed the brake harder but the car

wouldnt stopmoving,Fountainwrote forhis publication, CARMagazine (carmaga-zine.co.uk)According to Transport Canada, there

wasanothercaseofenginesurgethat in-volveda2001AstonMartinDB7Vantage.The complainant in this incident was

traveling in stop-and-go trafficwhen theengineRPMsurged suddenly and the ve-hicle lurched forward, hitting the vehicleaheadata relatively slowspeedandcaus-ing minimal damage,Transport Canada

spokesperson Karine Martel wrote in ane-mail last year.Thedrivermaintains thathis footwason thebrakepedal thewholetime, justpressingonandoffthepedal toallow the vehicle tomove forward.This type of engine surgewas not un-

heard of, according toTransport Canada.While this is believed to be an iso-

lated case, the dealer stated this typeof incident has been seen before withother V12-engine vehicles. The dealeralso stated that in stop-and-go traf-fic, when the brakes are continuallyapplied, the vacuum supply in thebrake booster gets depleted, causingthe engine speed to increase tryingto compensate. It is believed that thiscompensation, along with the loss ofpower brakes, may have contributed tothe incident above. The dealer has nottried to recreate the incident; however,in a brake-hold test, the brakes suc-cessfully held the vehicle under fullthrottle.

Novid Dadmandallegedly befriendedvictims on social media

by Martin van den Hemel

Staff ReporterA man accused by Richmond Mounties of

being a serial sex offender, was indicted latelast month on eight counts in B.C. SupremeCourt.Novid Dadmand was originally arrested by

local police investigators inMarch of 2014 fol-lowingan exhaustive investigation into mul-tiple sex-related offences that dated back to2008, police said.After originally being charged with 11 crim-

inal code offences, including sexual assault,break and enter, theft and fraud, Dadmanwas indicted in B.C. Supreme Court on eightcounts, including seven for sexual assault andone for breaking and entering.Dadmand, who was 28 at the time of his ar-

rest, was identified as a suspect through simi-lar circumstances in offences that took placein four RCMP jurisdictions: North Vancouver,Surrey, Burnaby, and Richmond.Dadmand used social media to befriend his

victims, police said last year.Dadmand identified himself online as a

modelling agent and convinced his victimsto meet him for a photo shoot in exchangefor money and gifts.

Investigators said it was during these meet-ings that the majority of the criminal offenceallegations took place.Dadmand also went by the alias Robert

Peako.In a press release Wednesday, Richmond

RCMP Cpl. Dennis Hwang thanked the me-dia and the public for their assistance in theinvestigation, which Hwang described aslengthy and complex and that led to up-dated charges.

F riedrichshafen, a university city inSouthernGermany hosts the annualAEROFriedrichshafen a global aviationshow, this year held recently inmid-April. Ashome to the famousZeppelin dirigible factoryestablished in the late 19th century, theMaybachaviation company,which became an automobilemanufacturer after the FirstWorldWar, andDornier Flugzeugwerke, a prominent aircraftmanufacturer that in the 1980swas parented byDaimler-Benz, Friedrichshafen is the ideal hostcity for such an exhibition.

A star exhibitor this year at AERO isCarplaneGmbH, a company co-funded by the EUandtheGermanState ofNiedersachsen engaged indeveloping a flying car capable of road travel toand fromairstrips and flight travel between them.AEROwas the first public unveiling of Carplaneas a car. Itsmaiden flight is tentatively scheduledfor later this year.

Given the history of flying cars, skepticismabout this iteration abounds. Almost from thetime cars and airplaneswere first inventeddesigners and inventors have been trying to fusethem. Indeed, the scourge of theWright Brothers,GlennCurtiss patented a flying car in 1917 anddisplayed a prototype, theModel 11Autoplaneat an exposition inNewYork that same year.Theplane never flewanddevelopment endedwhenAmerica entered the FirstWorldWar.

Inventor ReneTampier built the Roadable, acar-plane of sorts, for the 1921 Paris Air Salon,flew to the exposition anddrove aroundParis for

twohoursat 15mph. After the SecondWorldWar, redoubled efforts producedAirphibian,Convaircar, Aerocar, Autoplane,Mizar, and,morerecently, Terrafugia Transition, Parajet SkycarandLaBicheAerospace FSC-1. And somehaveactually flown: 300 of the over 2,000 knownflying car designs, according towww.carplane.com.

Today, no commercially produced vehiclebridges the gap between car and plane travel.Carplanes stated goal is to start closing thisgap by settling on a designwhich performswell in both air and roadmodes andmeetsall certification requirements for cars andfor airplanes in theVery Light Aircraft (VLA)category (max. 750kgs/1,653lbs.)[therebygiving] Carplanes customers the benefit of itssafety having been [government] tested.

TheCarplane design at this stage ofdevelopment can be likened to an upturnedcatamaran accommodating twopeople, eachin their ownhull. Between the hulls is spacefor storing andprotecting thewings along thelength of the vehicle thereby providing thelongest possible, unsegmentedwing lengthwithin the confines of a normal car. A patentedmechanismdeploys thewings in a smoothlyintegrated process thatwholly converts the car toan airplane. Animations of this process are on theCarplanewebsite.

Carplanes slogan built for reality boldlyconveys that it has finallymet the engineeringanddesign challenges of the flying car. Like theself-driving car, however, overcoming thesechallenges also raises difficult legal, licensing,and insurance issues. Fans of The Jetsons willrecall the aerocars buzzing aroundOrbit Cityin neatly ordered bubbles. Onewonders if theJetsons producer, Hanna-Barbera offered anyclues about howwe get there fromhere.

Scope and costof 10-lane spanexpected by fallby Jeff Nagel

Black PressTheB.C.government is ayear

overdueon its spring2014 tar-getofunveilingadetailedproj-ect scope and business planto replace the Massey Tunnelwith a newbridge.But Transportation Minister

Todd Stone insists the gov-ernment remains on track tobegin construction in 2017onthe new span between Rich-mond and Delta, and associ-ated Highway 99 upgrades,and complete it by 2022.Premier Christy Clark an-

nounced the decision toproceed with the projectas a bridge on the existingalignmentin September2013, after two rounds ofpublic and stakeholder con-sultation, and said the proj-ect scope and business casewould be made public thefollowing spring.NDP transportation critic

Claire Trevena said the fail-ure to deliver a business planbefore detailed design workbegan shows the provincesattitude continues to bejustdo it and see what evolveswithout solid evidence ofwhat will be useful or cost-effective.Is this going to move

the traffic problem furthernorth? she asked. A realbusiness case should addressif this is the best way of deal-ing with that bottleneck.Project director Geoff Freer

said more time was neededto do more traffic and engi-neering analysis.Theproject definition report

spelling out the proposedscope is expected to be re-leased this fall, he said, fol-lowed bymore consultation.More work is ongoing but

Freer said findings so far con-firm the project teams intent

to build a new10-lane bridge,with one of the extra lanes ineach direction dedicated forHOV/transit.Once the project report is

tabled along with a cost es-timate, decisions must bemade about how to financethe project, whether as iswidely assumed it will betolled, and whether or not itwill be a private-public part-nership.About $53 million is bud-

geted over the next two yearson project planning.

Soft soil a concern

Soft soil in the river deltais a concern for engineers,so geotechnical drilling hasbeen a major focus of the re-cent work.Freer said drill holes on

each side of the river had togo down through 315metresof river siltmore than 1,000feetto reach glacial gravel,but added that doesnt nec-essarily mean much highercosts or that pilings will haveto be driven down that far.He expects theMassey proj-

ect cost will be in the sameballpark as the $3.3-billionPort Mann/Highway 1 proj-ect, but for a bridgewith longgraded approaches, muchlike the Alex Fraser Bridge.Trevena said the potential

effect of tolling the Highway99 crossing must also beweighed.How are you going to

make sure you dont see the

sameproblemswe saw at thePort Mann? she asked, refer-ring to lower-than-expectedtoll revenue as some driverschoose free crossings.Freer acknowledged tolls

can reduce a bridges use butpredicts it wont be a factor atthe Massey crossing.Regardless of whether you

toll it or not because theres somuch congestion it probablywouldnt change the scope inany way shape or form.He also said updated traf-

fic estimates confirm that 60per cent of the traffic throughthe tunnel is between Surrey,Delta and Richmond and notVancouver.Many of the trips ending

in Richmond may be goingto Vancouver via the CanadaLine, he added.The Massey Tunnel doesnt

meet modern earthquake,width or height standardsandmajor repairs to electricaland ventilation systems willbe needed in about 10 years.If a new Massey Bridge is

tolled, its unclear whethera reformed tolling systemmight be in place in MetroVancouver by the time itopensarea mayors wantto pursue some form of roadpricing.Richmond council has di-

rected staff to continue topush the Ministry of Trans-portation to consider localobjectives of preservingfarmland, explore public tran-sit options and plan a bridgewith iconicarchitecture.

this challenge is to remindpeople that the deadline tovote in Metro VancouversTransit and Transporta-tion Referendum is fastapproaching. Rememberthose mail-in ballots thatyou were sent in March?Nows the time to fill themout and send them in ifyou havent already.There has been much

debate over the merits ofthe transit plan, but onething is clear. If you want toimprove food security foryour community, then youshould support the planfor better public transpor-tation.Debates over issues like

this tend to focus on theraw numbers, like thebudget, tax rates, con-struction dates and otherdetails. This is all good,because we need to takea hard look at such thingsto make sure the planis sound, but crunchingnumbers tends to makethe debate too abstract.When that happens, itseasy to forget how the lackof good transit optionsactually affects people on aday to day basis.To fix that, lets do a

walkthrough of whatits like get your food bytransit. This is the FoodSecurity Challenge thatmany people in the LowerMainland face all the time.I can speak about this withauthority because it did itmyself for most of my adultlife because I didnt have acar. Its only when I movedto Richmond some yearsago that I got one. Beforethat, it was public transitfor everything.Ok, so lets say Im at

home, and I have nothingto eat in my house. Thatmeans I either have to eatout, or go shop for foodto cook at home. Unfortu-nately, I happen to live in afood desert. That means Idont have any food stores(or restaurants) close by,which is a more commonproblem than you mightthink. The nearest place isa 7-11 that is almost twokilometers away. The near-est grocery store (of anysize, let alone somethingas big as a Safeway) is evenfurther than that.Good thing Im able-

bodied, so if I have to, Imcapable of making thewalk to the nearest storeand hauling my groceriesback. But if I was elderly ordisabled, Im out of luck. Iwould have two choices get food delivered (whichis an option that is tooexpensive for most) orhop on public transit. Ofcourse, thats assumingthat there is even a transitroute nearby.But lets say there is. So

you go out to wait for thebus. And wait. And wait.Sure you can call the Trans-Link number to see whenthe next bus is supposedto arrive, but thats in anideal world. My local busroute, the 410, runs all the

way to NewWestminster,and the buses often getstuck on the frequentlycongested QueensborughBridge, so delays are com-mon. Sure would be niceif there was some plan tofix this sort of congestion,right?So your bus finally ar-

rives and youre off to theSafeway. Not so fast. Noteveryone is going to getall the food they needfrom one place. If you havespecific health or culturaldietary needs, like if youneed gluten-free foods oreat only kosher foods, youmay have to haul yourselfall over the city. And whenyoure done shopping?Now comes the hard part.Getting home while lug-ging heavy bags of grocer-ies, on buses or Skytraincars that are likely crowdedto the roof.All of this is quite difficult,

and takes a ton of time,but its the only option fora great many people. Theyhave no choice but to do itbecause they have to eat.I know there are a great

many other issues aboutthe transit referendum Ihavent talked about, butI just dont have the spacehere for that. All I can dois highlight how the lackof adequate public trans-portation is an immediatefood security challengethat will only get worsein the Lower Mainland ifwe dont act. The regionis already so expensive tolive in that many peoplewont be able to affordcars, so they will have nochoice but to use publictransit.However, if you are still

undecided about howto vote in the Transit andTransportation Referen-dum, then take the FoodSecurity Transit Challengefor two weeks. It will be aneye-opener, trust me. Onceyou have, youll know howto vote. Final voting for thereferendum is May 29, somake you voice heard.

Editor:I recently took a walk in Minoru Park and

was shocked to see how overgrown theplants were.There were weeds everywhere. Grass was

not cut , plants dead.Minoru Park used to be the gem of Rich-

mond, always well-maintained and beauti-ful. The park today is a mess and a disgrace.I wrote to the parks board last year

about the same problem. Yet there is still a

problem.I am a Richmond taxpayer and know

that Richmond has no shortage of fundsand is even receiving record amountsof revenue from the River Rock Casino.There is no financial reason that thepark is not being maintained properly.I would like to know why we are letting

our most beautiful park fall into ruin.Eileen PagetRichmond

Editor:There appears to be a rising level of

concern over the trend in property develop-ment in Richmond. This is well founded asit appears that in traditional family neigh-bourhoods with quiet, tree-lined streets,comfortable homes are being torn down andreplaced with monster dwellings. Questionsare being raised as to how this transforma-tion can be allowed to take place .It appears that it is a clever money laun-

dering scheme whereby funds of dubiousorigin are involved in the initial purchase of afamily home only to have the land redevel-oped in a matter of days. There is no needfor occupancy as the owner remains offshorewhile their money is being cleansed .

It would be interesting to know the trueresidential addresses of the true ownersof these monster houses. Richmond CityHall is turning a blind eye to this develop-ment and simply continue to issue buildingpermits . Three-storey development hasbecome the norm. A classic example of amonster dwelling is a development nearSteveston Highway and theWest Dike, bor-dering on Harold Steve's farm. Viewed fromthe dike it appears to be the makings of adrive-in cinema with a giant screen. Peoplewalking the dike stare at this developmentas much as they watch the cows grazingnearby.

Editor:While the MayorsCouncil have spent an

obscene amount of money to promote theirill conceived transit tax they have been lack-ing in any new or innovative approaches tothe funding of transit. While most taxpay-ers dont mind paying their share, they arealready paying a transit tax on gasoline anda multitude of other services.The Mayors Council has hitched its dreams

on the .05% PST increasewhy havent theylooked at some of the existing shortfalls,inequitable government financing and amore business approach to the problem, ie.- the number one taxpayers concern is thattransit riders pay their fares. Translink contin-ues to use the 3 - 4% fare evasion backed upby some expert from UBC or SFU.Why notask those on the front lines dailythe busdriversthey will tell you on some lines it iscloser to 20 to 25%. The Broadway B-Line isreferred to as the Free Lineby the drivers.Gregor Robertson wants a Yes vote so he

can have TransLink spend a billion dollars fora free-line subway. Has the Council lookedat Translinks file of the B.C. Bus Pass Programwhere the government pays $45 per year perpass. Howmany thousands are there and is$45 a reasonable amount where TransLinkis getting less than $4 a month and theaverage fare is $2.75 each. Is it proper wherethis $45 pass is being used by a 15 year oldto go to a private school in Vancouver andthe pass belongs to her grandmother? Thebus drivers used to confiscate misuse buttwo years ago Coast Mountain adopted theEducate rather than the previous Enforce

program.Why has the MayorsCouncil not spoken up

about the gross inequity where the taxpay-ers in the Lower mainland have to pay forhighways and bridges but in the rest of theprovince funding is from general revenue.Not a peep from this group and then theyadded in local municipal roads so nowsomeone in Port Moody would be payingtowards upgrading a local road in Surrey.What a sweet deal.There have been several in depth articles

about newmini-cities to be build in Van-couver, Burnaby, NewWestminster, Surreyand Richmond. The articles and subsequentpromotional ads for new developmentspromote steps to skytrainno need to owna carand the building is sold out before theground is broken.These condo units normally sell for $40,000

to $50,000 over the market value due totheir location adjacent to skytrain so withthe presale and premium prices, the financ-ing for the development is an easy task withan attractive rate.Assess a tax on all new units within a two

or three block radius of SkyTrain.The articles on the new mini-cities indicate

a projected development of a minimum of10,000 new units and a tax of $10,000 perunit would generate $100 million dollars forTranslinkVote No and tell the MayorsCouncil to take

a business approach instead of their tax andspend program they are promoting.

Next Steveston Folk Guildshow promises to be full ofpip, vim and vigour

by Matthew Hoekstra

Staff ReporterTheyre people who study an area of the arts

superficially, according to Oxford, and for thesedilettantes that area is honky tonk.The Steveston Folk Guild welcomes the Honky-

Tonk Dilettantes to the Chinese bunkhouse stageat Britannia Shipyards this month, and the showpromises to be full of pip, vim and vigour.This bluegrass power-trio sings songs of sin

and salvation, with Woody Bell Jr. on mandolin,

Lorraine Lordy Mama Cobb on guitar and PaulaSparky Spurr on upright bass. All three arecomfortable with vocal duties.Spurr has been a DJ on the radio, a VJ on TV

and is an actress on stage and screens small andlarge. A veteran of Vancouvers vibrant indie mu-sic scene, she has performed both as a solo artistand in groupsincluding a memorable nightopening for Nirvana.Cobb has lent her soaring voice and driving

guitar to the Mountain Bluebirds, Viper Cen-tral, and the popular string band Shout! White!Dragon! She also plays a mean honky tonk fiddle.Bell, according to his bio, has spent too much

time listening to old records to have done muchelse.The Honky-Tonk Dilettantes play Thursday, May

21 at Britannia Shipyards, 5180 Westwater Dr.Tickets, $10, at the door.Showtime is 7:30 p.m.

The Honky-Tonk Dilettantes are Lorraine Lordy Mama Cobb, Woody Bell Jr. and Paula Sparky Spurr. Thebandplays StevestonMay21.
