WWW . RICHMOND - NEWS . COM Attacks on Huang proves NDP success: Dix BC NDP leader Adrian Dix made a short and sharp campaign stop in Richmond yes- terday. The event, before a throng of supporters at the party’s local campaign office lasted a scant 20 minutes. And he had a pointed mes- sage for the other parties trailing them in the polls as the May 14 election day nears. Dix said the continued volley of attack- style campaigning from the opposition — especially those directed at Richmond Centre’s Frank Huang — in three, tradition- ally strong liberal Richmond ridings shows the race is closer here than ever before. Dix was referring to the revelation ear- lier this week that Huang was a member of Chinese Communist Party before moving to Canada in 2001. When asked to respond in a media scrum to a CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) report that one of the Chinese gov- ernment’s top priorities is to allegedly target top Canadian politicians, Dix said the infer- ence regarding Huang lacked respect. “It is so disrespectful to say that people who come to Canada and become a part of the community and become Canadian citizens, can’t participate in poli- tics,” Dix said. “Frank is a great candidate and he’s going to do an excellent job.” Huang, who has left his posi- tion as editor of the Burnaby- based Global Chinese Press to run, said he joined the Communist Party as a way of advancing his career in one of China’s provincial government agencies. “If you want to do a better job, if you want to serve the community, if want to do something for the people you need to have the opportunity of working in the government,” he said. “And if you are a member of the party, you have a better chance to do a job, get a promotion.” After moving to Canada, Huang cut his ties with the party, became a Canadian citizen in 2004, but has done freelance reporting for some government publications. The information on Huang’s previous political ties was released in emails from BC Conservatives candidate Lawrence Chen who is running against Huang in Richmond Centre, and Dr. Kenneth Fung, a Clinical Associate Professor in UBC’s Faculty of Medicine, who is also chair of Premier Christy Clark’s Chinese Community Advisory Council. On how the campaign is going for the NDP in Richmond, Dix said the situation mirrors a recent by-election race in Chilliwack where the NDP was not expected to win. He said his party’s “secret plan” then was to select great candidates, run a positive cam- paign, outwork the Liberals, “and we won Chilliwack,” Dix said. “That is why I can say Richmond is NDP country, too.” The last time a BC NDP MLA served Richmond was in the early 1970s when Coun. Harold Steves was part of the Dave Barrett government. Dix said the NDP has run a positive cam- paign throughout, in part to draw people into the political process. “And how do we know it’s working in Richmond?” he asked. “We know it’s working in Richmond because the Liberal party is targeting our candidates with a pattern of behaviour that is nasty and inappropriate. “What does that tell you? It tells you that we’re doing well. That tells you that our posi- tive campaign is working. That tells you our tremendous candidates are getting support here.” Toast of the Coast The U15 Dynamo and U13 All-Stars delivered Coastal “A” Cup championships on home turf last weekend for the Richmond Girls Soccer Association. see Steves page 4 see Dad page 4 Liberal advisor leaks info about Richmond candidate’s Communist connection 18 BY PHILIP RAPHAEL Special to the News PHILIP RAPHAEL/RICHMOND NEWS NDP Frank Huang (Richmond Centre) takes questions from media about his past membership to the Chinese Communist Party.

Attacks on Huang proves NDP success: DixBC NDP leader Adrian Dix made a short
and sharp campaign stop in Richmond yes-terday.
The event, before a throng of supportersat the party’s local campaign office lasted ascant 20 minutes. And he had a pointed mes-sage for the other parties trailing them in thepolls as the May 14 election day nears.
Dix said the continued volley of attack-style campaigning from the opposition— especially those directed at RichmondCentre’s Frank Huang — in three, tradition-ally strong liberal Richmond ridings showsthe race is closer here than ever before.
Dix was referring to the revelation ear-lier this week that Huang was a member ofChinese Communist Party before moving toCanada in 2001.
When asked to respond in a media scrumto a CSIS (Canadian Security IntelligenceService) report that one of the Chinese gov-ernment’s top priorities is to allegedly targettop Canadian politicians, Dix said the infer-ence regarding Huang lacked respect.
“It is so disrespectful to say that peoplewho come to Canada and become a partof the community and become Canadiancitizens, can’t participate in poli-tics,” Dix said. “Frank is a greatcandidate and he’s going to do anexcellent job.”
Huang, who has left his posi-tion as editor of the Burnaby-based Global Chinese Press torun, said he joined the CommunistParty as a way of advancing his career in oneof China’s provincial government agencies.
“If you want to do a better job, if youwant to serve the community, if want to dosomething for the people you need to have
the opportunity of working in thegovernment,” he said. “And if youare a member of the party, youhave a better chance to do a job,get a promotion.”
After moving to Canada,Huang cut his ties with the party,became a Canadian citizen in
2004, but has done freelance reporting forsome government publications.
The information on Huang’s previouspolitical ties was released in emails fromBC Conservatives candidateLawrence Chen who is runningagainst Huang in RichmondCentre, and Dr. Kenneth Fung,a Clinical Associate Professorin UBC’s Faculty of Medicine,who is also chair of PremierChristy Clark’s ChineseCommunity Advisory Council.

RICHMOND-STEVESTON
Carol DayBC Conservative
“I was born to do this.”BC Conservative hopeful Carol Day is
positively revelling in the role as one of themain challengers to John Yap’s position atthe head of Richmond-Steveston’s provincialtable.
“I love campaigning, meeting new peopleand listening to their concerns and issues,”added former school trustee Day, who nar-rowly missed out on a seat on city council 18months ago.
“What I’m hearing from the people as I’vebeen knocking on doors is that they simplywant honesty and transparency in this riding.
“I had 14,000 votes at the city election,I believe I have a following and I believe Ihave a chance.”
Hovering near the top of Day’s campaignagenda is, not surprisingly, the jet fuel deliv-ery to YVR proposal, which is currentlystalled in the environmental process untilafter the election and is a plan which Day hasvehemently opposed via an opposition group
she helped form.However, it’s a plan — barging fuel up
the south arm of the Fraser River, off-loadingit to a tank farm in east Richmond and thenpiping it to the airport — which her partyleader, John Cummins, supported three yearsago when he was a federal Tory MP.
It’s a conflict Day says exemplifies herdecision to run for a party that wants inde-pendent thinkers who “speak for their con-stituents.
“(The party) came to me, I didn’t go tothem,” explained Day.
“I told them they may not want me astheir candidate, I may be too outspoken, butthey said they want people who fight for theirridings.
“We will, however, be making anannouncement on Thursday with regard tothis subject.”
Day said she’s already bent the ear of theNDP on the plan to implore them, shouldthey win next week’s election, to go back tothe drawing board on the plan.
Should she knock long-time BC Liberalincumbent Yap off his seat, Day swears she’ll
make a big push to engage with the localsto hear their problems and take the issues toVictoria’s doorstep.
“If elected, I’d set up my office like amini-community centre, a place where peoplecan come meet, air their concerns, socialize,bring the ‘village’ back into Steveston.”

Scott StewartNDP
From one Steveston street to the next,NDP candidate Scott Stewart can’t workout which party is carrying the most sup-port across the riding.
While out pounding the beat and knock-ing on doors, the retired police officerhas experienced unexpected support in aLiberal neighbourhood, then eyebrow-rais-ing opposition at a house flanked by NDPcampaign signs.
In a traditionally strong Liberal riding— John Yap was one of the first declaredwinners across B.C. in 2009 — Stewartsenses there are a lot of undecided votersout there this time around.
And he’s making it his job to go out andconvince those people he deserves theirmark on the ballot sheet next Tuesday.
“I’ve never known this place to be sounclear as to where the big support lies,”said Stewart, a born and bred Stevestonite,who lives on the very edge of the riding onSteveston Highway.
“The biggest thing that I keep hearing is
that people are keen for a change and thatthis government has run out of ideas.
“The poverty issue in Steveston alonechokes me right up. There are kids in mydaughter’s Grade 6 class that sometimesjust have an apple for lunch.
“The poverty line has crept up and up inRichmond and we need to do something toreverse that.”
Stewart said that, over the years, he’sdelivered far too many food hampers toneedy families in the riding and he wantsto put that right by investing more moneyin education and childcare.
“We’ve also got to get to grips with thehydro rates and have none of these surprisetaxes after an election,” added Stewart,who’s also sensitive about what he per-ceives as lack of funding in government-run seniors homes.
“I know of one place where someseniors only get one bath a week due tostaff shortages,” said Stewart.
“These are the people who put Band-Aids on our knees when we were kids andmade us peanut butter sandwiches. Wehave to do better.”
Hoping for shiftin voters’ habitJerome DickeyGreen Party
Jerome Dickey says a big part ofwhat he’s about involves change.
The BC Green Party candidaterunning in Richmond-Steveston saidpreviously he would have been contentbeing a spectator, watching the politi-cal landscape unfold before him onelection night and beyond.
This time around he wanted to bethe one making that change.
“Instead of complaining aboutthings, like I probably did in the past,thinking about the politics goingon and not liking the NDP and theLiberals and what they stand for, Idecided to get involved,” said therookie candidate.
Dickey started campaigning withhis volunteers back in January andby his count has visited about 2,000constituents. And what he found frommany people he talked to was a desirefor a more open and transparent gov-ernment in Victoria.
He’s also hearing agriculture andtransportation are on the minds of localvoters.
On the latter, Dickey said many ofthe people he has spoken to want moreoptions when it comes to public transit.
And when it comes to the economy,Dickey said the BC Green Party placesthe importance of small businessesvery high.
“That’s where the majority of jobsare created,” he said. “That’s where it

Mike DonovanUnparty
He harbours no illusions of being electedaround 8:15 p.m. next Tuesday night.
If he manages to pull in a modest three-figure haul of votes in Richmond-Steveston,he’ll be quietly contented.
Indeed, the only exposure Mike Donovanhas had in this campaign thus far is the “VoteUnparty” message he’s been beaming fromthe projector in his car onto the concreteguideway of the Canada Line after dark.
But party founder Donovan doesn’t caretoo much because he knows he’ll have plant-ed a seed. A seed that he hopes one day willgrow into a new political world which handsthe power back to the people.
“Our goal is to expand for the nextelection in four years,” said Donovan, aRichmond software developer.
“We don’t have a campaign manager andboth my wife and I have full-time jobs. Butsince we launched, we’ve had support fromSalmon Arm, Coquitlam, Bowen Island, allover the province.
“Quite a few people like the idea andthere’s an appetite for something other than
the system we have today, full of lies andattack ads. We don’t want to get embarrassedand have 17 votes or something. But it mightbe that a 13-year-old reads our website todayand becomes the one who makes it happen.”
If elected, the Unparty, which consistsright now of Donovan and his wife, Chanel,who is running in Richmond Centre, wouldhold a series of town hall-style meetings todebate the issue in question, before comingto a decision via consensus.
Whatever decision is reached is the mes-sage that the Unparty MLA would take toVictoria on behalf of the riding.! Full story at www.richmond-news.com.

RICHMOND-STEVESTON
Yap seeks balance in search of 3rd termJohn YapBC Liberal
Amid the high octane rhetoric ofa hotly contested B.C. election cam-paign, John Yap said he is seeking asense of balance on the issues.
Yap, the BC Liberal party incum-bent since 2005, told the News in hisRichmond-Steveston riding campaignoffice this week that he has discussedmany issues with constituents ontheir doorsteps in the past number ofweeks.
And while he found the economyand jobs were the overriding con-cerns for many, the prospect of ship-ping jet fuel past his riding alongthe South Arm of the Fraser River toserve Vancouver International Airport(YVR) did resonate with others.
“With respect to the YVR jet fuelproposal we should keep inmind that YVR is a majoreconomic generator for theCity of Richmond, for theregion, for the province,and part of the gateway toCanada,” Yap said. “So, it’sa very important asset forthe city and the province.”
Yap added that if the
plan is approved by the province’sEnvironmental Assessment Office, it
has to be done in a waythe environmental risk is“managed to the satisfac-tion of all, and also anypublic safety concerns areaddressed, and of coursewe have to see a benefit tothe City of Richmond.”
Yap said the jet fueltopic ties in directly with
concerns over the economy as YVRemploys over 20,000 people, we needto ensure in the long term that it willhave a supply of jet fuel. That’s thereality.”
Despite his resignation in earlyMarch as B.C.’s Minister Responsiblefor Multiculturalism over the ethnicoutreach controversy, Yap said he hasbeen received well when making thecampaign rounds.
“I’ve found it’s almost been uni-versally positive,” Yap said. “Peoplehave been encouraging and saying tome they’re glad I’m presenting myselffor re-election.”
The scandal involved using tax-payer resources to attract ethnic votersfor the BC Liberal Party in the run upto the election.
Yap said he apologized for the mis-takes made and he received supportfrom within the riding to seek anotherterm.
“As I look back and see how theissue came forward, the Premier apol-ogized, I apologized to the voters inmy riding. I sent out a fairly specificnewsletter that apologized for whathappened in regards to my actions as aminister.”
starts. It’s about building up those jobs, and build-ing communities.”
On the proposal to having jet fuel shipped upthe South Arm of the Fraser River, Dickey said theprovincial government should work with the avia-tion industry to find a solution that is acceptablefor both the economic and environmental aspectsof the project.
Dickey said he believes the option for a run-ning pipeline from the Cherry Point refinery inWashington State to YVR instead of tankers alongthe river is the most plausible he has seen so far.
“I think maybe the options need to be lookedat again to see if they are still valid, and probablyneed to be looked at in regards to stronger envi-ronmental regulations.”
But ultimately, society has to ween itself fromthe use of fossil fuels, he added.
“In the long term, we have to look at ourselvesas a society and move away from those and startthe shift to cleaner energy forms,” he said. “Wedon’t see that conversation happening with anyother parties.”
In reality, any shift will not happen overnight,Dickey said.
“We don’t believe we’re going to come as gov-ernment and have things green in two years,” hesaid. “We’ve taken the better part of 100 years toget where we are.”

running in Richmond, 11showed up. Linda Reidwas the only BC Liberal,and only four of the sevenRichmond Centre candidateswere present. The formatwas such that a questionwas posed and each candi-date was given a minute torespond. There were no fol-low-up questions.
GovernanceGreen candidate Jerome
Dickey (Richmond-Steveston) and BCConservative Carol Day(Richmond-Steveston)stressed the need for local,grass roots governance.Dickey said the Green Partywould focus on ways to growthe local economy and sup-port small business. WhileDay, a former school trustee,argued local school boardsshould have the freedomto make decisions that areappropriated for their uniquedistricts.
NDP candidate GianSihota (Richmond East)said an NDP governmentwouldn’t fire school trusteesif they don’t follow govern-ment directives.
“They (trustees) are theelected representatives of thepeople,” NDP Scott Stewart(Richmond-Steveston)added.
Stewart also said anNDP government wouldlisten to the expert adviceof the teachers and scrapthe Fundamental SkillsAssessments.
Unparty candidate MikeDonovan (Richmond-Steveston) took the conceptof participatory democracyfurther, harkening back to theancient Greeks, suggestingregular citizen assemblies beheld to let all views be aired.This would inspire creativethinking and increase voterengagement.
“Tens of thousandsof people won’t vote inRichmond — something’swrong.”
Independent candidates,Richard Lee (RichmondCentre) and Ping Chan(Richmond East) pointed totheir ability to best representthe local electorate becausethey are not tied to a party.
“Being an independentlets me take my orders fromyou. You are my boss, not theparty,” said Lee
BC Liberal Linda Reid(Richmond East) said, “It’sall about respect. It’s allabout relationship” and saidher government was able toimplement full-day kinder-
garten thanks to an enormousamount of consultation withstakeholders.
Funding:On the question of fund-
ing, Linda Reid defended thegovernment record, sayingthat funding per student hasincreased under the Liberalgovernment.
Day said the BCConservatives would ensureschool districts receivedstable, four-year funding,so they could manage theirmoney and not be “micro-managed” by government.
Stewart noted that theBC Liberals have made sig-nificant cuts to education,specifically in the areas ofspecial education, ESL andlibrarians. The NDP wouldrestore that funding byincreasing corporate taxes,and taxes on high incomeearners (people earning more
than $150,000/year)BC Conservative
Nathaniel Lim (RichmondEast) said the only wayto pay for education is bygrowing the economy, whileB.C. Green Party candidateMichael Wolfe (Richmond
Centre) said additional edu-cation funding needs to comefrom increased taxes on theindustries that lead to addic-tion and poor health — gam-bling, and oil and gas.! Full story at www.rich-mond-news.com.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Yes, everyone’s in a tizzy since the Americans announcedthey’re considering charging a fee to Canadian bordercrossers.
While bridges across the Lower Mainland are springing upwith tolls, we’ve always taken it for granted that a trip to theStates will be gratis.
Well, for a certain value of free. A border crossing fee, espe-cially one of $1 to $10, won’t deter anyone from making a once-a-year trip to see Disneyland or their American friends. But thereare those who cross the border every day — truckers, mostly,but some folks choose to live in Canada and work in the U.S., orvice versa.
Then there are those who cross once a week or so, to getcheap gas, maybe pick up some milk and eggs.
For those frequent crossers, it will be the equivalent of asignificant toll. Even a dollar a day adds up. That’s in additionto the non-monetary costs we’ve endured along the borders overthe past decade: increased security has meant the need for moreID including passports or enhanced driver’s licences.
If the U.S. puts a border toll in place, they’ll be taking a smallchunk out of the Canadian economy. We could put up a tit-for-tat fee of our own — but that would also hurt us. Do we wantto discourage American tourists and film crews from coming uphere and pouring money into our coffers? Definitely not.
It’s been decades now since we had our debate about freetrade with the U.S. It’s ironic that, with free trade thoroughlyentrenched, the United States is now considering putting a priceon the movement of individuals through the world’s longestundefended border.
Nothing is really free.
Key ridings show all’s not lost for Liberals

There are 85 ridingsbeing fought over in thiselection campaign, andtrying to keep track ofeven half of them can be adaunting task.
But in a close race thatseparates the top two par-ties by three percentagepoints or less, it’s safe tosay that about 60 of thoseridings are locks for eitherthe B.C. Liberals or theNDP.
The rest of them arein play, in terms of thechances of them beingwon by either party. Sometilt towards one party morethan the other, and someare potential three-wayraces.
Of course, if the NDPhangs on to its lead in thepolls and wins by five orsix percentage points, theB.C. Liberals will be luckyto hang onto 20 of theirexisting seats.
There’s not enoughspace in this column tolook at all the potentiallykey races, but there are anumber of them in MetroVancouver that may signalwhich party is headed forvictory when all the votesare tallied.
They are all currentlyheld by the B.C. Liberals,and if they slip into theNDP’s hands it will indi-cate it’s all over for theruling party.
Vancouver-Point Grey:This is ground zero of theelection for both the B.C.Liberals and the NDP.Both parties are desperateto win here. Christy Clarkbarely won this seat in thebyelection at the height
of her personal popularityand she’s less popular now.
Her chief opponent isDavid Eby of the NDP, butthe B.C. Conservatives arerunning a credible can-didate in Duane Nuckell,and he will likely drainvotes from Clark.
Vancouver Fairview:A classic “swing” ridingthat has gone back andforth between the two par-ties over time. The B.C.Liberals won by a littlemore than 1,000 voteslast time and the NDP isrunning environmentalistGeorge Heyman againstincumbent MargaretMacDiarmid.
Heyman is a formerBCGEU president, andhe’ll no doubt have a vastarmy of union volunteersworking for him on elec-tion day. But the fact thereis no B.C. Conservativecandidate should work inMacDiarmid’s favour.
Burnaby North: Forsome reason, low-profileRichard Lee of the B.C.Liberals keeps winninghere, albeit by smallermargins. The NDP’s JanetRoutledge is his chiefopponent, and the NDPhas almost got this markedin their win column.
Surrey Tynehead: Long-time B.C. Liberal MLA
Dave Hayer isn’t running,leaving this one wideopen. Two Indo-Canadiannewcomers: Avtar Bainsfor of the NDP and AmrikVirk of the B.C. Liberalsare squaring off, but giventhat Hayer only won byless than 1,600 votes andthat a Conservative candi-date is running, the NDPhas to like its chances forvictory much better thanbefore.
Maple RidgeMission/Maple RidgePitt Meadows: Is there acommunity in B.C. morepolarized than MapleRidge? For years, electionsin the region have gonedown right to the wire onelection night.
If either riding is at allclose, it may be a sign theB.C. Liberals may be morepopular than they nowappear to be.
North VancouverLonsdale: On paper, thiswould seem like a fairlysafe B.C. Liberal riding.
Naomi Yamamoto wonby 2,500 votes last time,but the NDP has won herebefore and long time citycouncillor Craig Keatingis running for the NDP.
So, in a close race,the path to victory wouldseem to begin on the westside of Vancouver, takea brief detour to NorthVancouver and headthrough Burnaby anddown to Surrey.
We’ll see which partycan stick to that path withthe most success.
Keith Baldrey is chiefpolitical correspondent forGlobal BC.
The Editor,The recent all candidates meeting, where some can-
didates were noticeable by their absence, could well betermed a bloody disgrace.
The two people parachuted into the Richmond Centreriding (the NDP and the Liberal) showed the amount ofinterest they have in Richmond by their behaviour.
“You peasants don’t interest us, we have bigger and bet-ter folks to meet!”
It demonstrates that their main interest is in obtaining aseat in the legislature, and the perks that go along with it,not in any way wanting to hear from the people they willpretend to represent.
Well, buddies, one of you would have had my vote, butthere is no way in Hades that I could, or would, vote foreither one of you.
This is what happens when cynical party hacks decideto import candidates for one self-serving reason oranother. They don’t live here, and they evidently don’t wantto hear from the voters.
Let’s return the favour, and let them both fade back intoobscurity, where they belong.

The Editor,Somebody come up with
a way of telling our politi-cians exactly what we do ordo not want without votingfor the lesser of two evils.
Somehow they and wehave forgotten they’re ouremployees, hired to do a job.
An election promise is acontract with an employer,not a licence to run up theexpense account and under-mine our trust.
I do not want fish farms,oil tankers, pipelines, a$57-million museum inRichmond (seriously?) or awhole list of other conces-sions to financial interestsother than ours.
I want “made-in-Canada”,affordable housing and jobsfor our kids and grandkids,and I want it now, dammit.
Why can’t we makesomething worthwhile goviral in Canada, GangnamStyle?
Don’t like what Harper’sdoing? Fire him. I’m sure wecan find just cause in theresomewhere.
Don’t agree with a gov-
ernment policy? Say so,send a memo, call a boardmeeting, issue a warning, bea boss.
I’d like to say I feel bet-ter having vented, but not somuch. There’s just no placeto take this, so I guess wejust take it.
Gay McCoanRichmond
Remember, politicianswork for us The Editor,
I am very disappointedin John Yap, the MLA inmy riding, who could notbe bothered to attend theall-candidates’ meeting lastMonday evening.
Was he sitting aroundwatching TV instead ofbeing available to his con-stituents?
Is he afraid to exchangeideas on issues of substancein a public forum?
Does he think he doesn’tneed to bother to show upto debates and we will stillvote for him?
If so, let’s prove himwrong. Let’s vote for some-one with passion and ideasand who is willing to showup for work.
Ingrid VeilleuxRichmond

that candidates’ meeting.)

Attention Lower Mainland Home Owners:23 of you are about to make an important financial decision...
“Frustrated Contractor ‘Giving Away’ $5136 Furnaces for$1181 with purchase of Off-Season Central Air ...”**
NO MONEY DOWN, NO PAYMENTS AND INTEREST FREE TIL 2014*(This is the Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” ... especially if your furnace is over 8 years old)
Dear FriendI’m about to make you a deal that’s
hard to refuse if you’ve got an “older”(and probably less than optimally efficient)furnace.I’ll replace your old furnace AND heatpump as a “package deal” for at least$3136.00 less than you would pay any othertime of the year.
Sound too good to be true?It’s not and here’s why. I’m making
you what sounds like an unbelievable offerbecause it actually makes good sense for mybusiness. And you come out a winner, as well!
You see, I know from experience that inmy slowest months I actually end up losingmoney ... then I have to spend the rest of theyear trying to make up for it. Right now, Ihave no reason to believe 2013 will be anydifferent.
That’s why I’ve decided to give up tryingto make a profit during these months andminimize my losses ... so I can come outahead the rest of the year.So here’s how I can make the incredibleoffer at the top of this letter.
Every year the biggie furnacemanufacturers guesstimate how manyfurnaces to produce. Since there’s no way ofknowing what the weather will be like andother factors that affect sales, these guysalways have leftover inventory they have tohold onto until the next heating season.
I saw a great business opportunity in thisand went to one of these biggie companies(they won’t allow me to use their name inthis letter) and contracted for the purchaseof these furnaces that were going to just besitting around. Plus, I bought 23 heat pumpsall in the 3 most popular sizes used in LowerMainland homes.
Because of the number I bought andthe time of year I purchased them, I got anunbelievable deal ... rock-bottom prices.
Don’t get me wrong - these are brand-new, top quality, 2013 models. Not “seconds.”Not “blems.” Not builder-grade. These arepremium furnaces and heat pumps fresh froma name-brand factory with a full factorywarranty.How to Get Your Name Brand Furnace forVirtually Nothing
By putting together this furnace-plus-heat pump package (I call it the “HottestAND Coolest Deal of the Century”), goingthrough some heavy negotiations with the
manufacturer, and then committing to buying23 systems outright, I got BOTH the furnaceAND the heat pump at a price that wouldhave made Sam Walton proud. This meanswhen you buy one of these 23 new, premium-quality heat pumps I will “give” you thefurnace and ask you to pay only the $1181 inlabor it costs to install your furnace.Pick up your phone right now
Simply call me at 946-1000 at anytimeso I can come out and measure your home(to see if I’ve got the proper size unit).Remember ... I’ve got only 23 matchedsystems in 3 sizes so you’ll want to let meknow VERY SOON that you’re interested.When these 23 systems are gone, they’regone, and this offer is null and void. Call meright now so we can get the ball rolling!
As part of the deal, I’ll show you howmuch the heat pump costs ... how muchthe furnace WOULD have cost ... and yoursavings when you buy your new heat pumpand furnace as part of this special offer. Theprice I show you will include all installationmaterials and labor. There’s no fine print,nothing left out.Earlier I said that making you this amazingoffer is also good business for me
The way I look at it, by letting YOU winbig now, I’ll win at the end of the year. AndI won’t have to “make up” for the lost salesduring my slowest months.
I figure if I make you an absolutelyirresistible offer .. if your furnace is pushing8 years or more ... and if I barely mark upthe price I paid, I’ll accomplish 2 majorobjectives that will allow me to reduce mylosses the rest of the year. I’ll be able to ...
• Pay my overhead (rent, utilities,insurance and taxes) during the slowperiod
• Keep my service & installationtechnicians busy enough to pay them towork instead of sit at home.As you can see, when you take me up
on my “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of theCentury,” EVERYONE IS A WINNER!And by the way, there’s no obligation whenyou have me come out to measure yourhouse and explain the installation
If you decide you don’t want to takeadvantage of this incredible deal (althoughI can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want tosave this kind of money), it’s no problem.You’re not obligated in any way. In fact, justfor taking time to read this letter and havingme out to survey your house ... I’ll give you a
Very Special Free Gift Coupon ($50 value).Why? Even if we don’t do business togethernow, I want you to remember us in the future.If you’re thinking a new furnace (& heatpump) isn’t in your budget - don’t worry!You don’t have to pay me right now
Because I’ve tried to think of every reasonpossible why you WOULDN’T take me upon this spectacular offer, I’ve even madearrangements for a super bank rate financingplan. And I’m not “marking up” the interestrate like so many other companies do.
While I can’t promise you this, it’spossible that with this financing plan yourmonthly investments in a new system couldbe more than paid for by the savings you seeon your monthly utility bills.My Disappointment-Proof Guarantee
Talking about lower utility bills, I’m sosure you’ll see at least a 25% cut in yourheating and cooling bills (in reality, it maybe more like 35%+), if you don’t I’ll pay youtwice the difference for 2 years.
Not only are you getting a new, first-quality furnace virtually free, plus a first-quality heat pump at a great price, I guaranteeyou’ll lower your heating and cooling billsby at least 25% or I’ll pay you double yoursavings for 2 years. (This alone shouldconvince you that these systems are someof the very best quality and most efficientavailable).But you’ve got to act fast ... call me at946-1000 right now! This offer endsMay15th no matter what
Don’t wait to call me. Here’s why. I haveonly 8 of each of the 3 sizes. When all of theair conditioners are sold and all the furnaces“given away” in a certain size, the “HottestAND Coolest Deal of the Century” is over.
And if I still have any of the 23 systemsleft on May 15th, this offer still ends. Thereason is that my business only slows downfor a short time. Since these furnaces cost meso little, if I’ve got any left, I’ll sell them nextwinter at last year’s prices and still come outahead.So call me right now at 946-1000
Thanking you in advance,Scott Campbell
OwnerP.S. Remember, there’s no obligation and -
even if you change your mind once I measureyour house and give you the estimate - youstill get that Free Gift Coupon worth $50.
*W.A.C. - with approved credit. Cannot be combined with other offers.**This offer applies with purchase of heat pump heating and air conditioning system

Mother’sDay
Come spring, shoppers often ask,“What gift should I get Mom for Mother’sDay?”
How do people transform the senti-ments they have for their mother into giftsthat represent love and devotion?
Buying a Mother’s Day gift is no easytask, especially for those who wait untilthe last minute to do their shopping.
Beginning early can ease the pressureof Mother’s Day shopping. Research giftoptions at least a month prior so that youcan read reviews on products and servicesto guarantee quality.
You also want to make sure the giftwill arrive on time if you will be orderingyour gift online. Here are other ways toshop in a smart manner.
! Do some sleuthing. Play detectiveand take inventory of what Mom likesto do the most. It is up to you to do theinvestigative work. Pay attention to con-versations and see if there is anythingshe mentions wanting to try or somethingaround the house that may need updating.
! Check expiration dates. Gift cer-tificates and cards for particular storesor services are popular come Mother’sDay. But it is essential to check expira-tion dates on the certificates, as there is agood chance Mom will put off pamperingherself and you would not want the gift toexpire before she has a chance to use it.
! Skip the chocolate overload.Flowers and chocolates are traditionalMother’s Day gifts. However, calorie-con-scious women may not want to be faced
with the temptation of a warehouse-sizedbox of chocolate treats. If Mom trulyloves chocolate, treat her to a gourmetpiece or two, but don’t make that yourmain gift.
! Avoid “final sale” items. It can betempting to peruse the deep-discount rackat Mom’s favorite store when retailers cutprices on items in anticipation of a newseason. However, these sales may comewith restrictions on returns or exchanges.
Shop smart, use heart and head

The fishy smell you’ll get after readingFishing the Coast won’t just come from DonPepper’s highly descriptive details of catchinga herring and the subsequent gutting of it.
It will also come from reading aboutthe negative changes and turns the fishingindustry has endured over the Richmondfisherman’s 50 years on the open sea.
“We have not been good stewards of theresource,” said Pepper, who holds a PhDin fisheries economics. “The technologyhas changed, the industry has changed, andthere’s no fish. We no longer have a coastalfishing industry.”
Pepper has spent the last two years writingthe first book about commercial fishing onthe West Coast by a fisherman.
He celebrates the book launch with aslideshow, seminar and signing tomorrow(May 9) at the Vancouver Maritime Museumfrom 5:30 to 8 p.m.
He claims one of the main mistakes madein the fishing industry was shifting controlfrom the owner/operator to the “armchairfisherman,” the sharecropper. Such a changemakes it difficult for any fisherman to makea living.
“Now the quotas and permits are deter-mined by these armchair fishermen,” saidPepper. “If a fish costs $6 per pound, he gets

$4 and you only get two bucks. That’s no wayto make a living. It’s almost impossible. Weget fewer and fewer fishermen every year.”
Sports fishermen literally fishing certainspecies to extinction and the decline in salm-on also contributes to the flailing industry.
Besides looking at the larger picture,Pepper also zooms into the individual life ofa fisherman, giving a reader a taste for theindustry almost as potent as the fish on thetable.
“Very few have written on exactly how wedid it, and gone into that sort of detail.”
Starting out at the age of 16, Pepper tellstales of a fishing life now past from catch-ing Adams River sockeye in Johnstone Straitto being thrown overboard during a stormin Deep Water Bay; from getting his first$1,500 pay cheque to making as much as$40,000 in one year.
He writes about how it can both be aworld of camaraderie, but also loneliness, asthe less fishermen make, the more they have
to be out, away from home.“It’s not always a fun way of life,” he said.
“Boats sink, you get thrown overboard, you’reaway from home. But when you’re out on thecentral coast on a sunny day, watching thatfog pull away from the great, blue Pacific, it’sjust heaven.
“Most fishermen can’t articulate the joy offishing, it’s just beautiful.”

Synergy & All-Stars roll to Coastal Cup titlesRichmond Girls Soccer Association rep teams continue dominant seasons with convincing wins on home turf
The Richmond Synergyand All-Stars continued theirdominant seasons by prov-ing they are the toast of thecoast.
The respective U15 andU13 girls soccer teamscaptured Coastal “A” Cupchampionships last weekendwith convincing victorieson home turf. Synergyproduced a 4-0 victoryover Surrey’s Central CityBreakers Elite, while theAll-Stars rolled to a 3-0 winagainst Nanaimo’s HarbourCity F.C. Both will befavoured at the ProvincialCup Championships, slatedfor early July in Langley.
The Synergy went 15-1-2in the regular season, thenoutscored their opponents 8-0 en route to three victoriesin cup play. Yet, head coachRon Ng says it was hardly acake walk for his squad andmore about a lesson learneda year earlier.
Richmond dropped a 2-0decision to the Breakers inthe 2012 Coastal final andproceeded to finish fourthat the provincials — a resultthat provided motivationover the next 10 months.
“Last year’s experiencewas a real eye opener for thegirls,” said Ng. “They sawwhat it was all about anddeveloped an appetite for it.We had to work hard and beon top of our game every
week. Nothing really cameeasy.”
Despite a lopsided scorein the final, the hosts didn’ttake full control until thesecond half. They openedthe scoring in early going ona free kick and managed togain some breathing roomwith an all-important secondgoal in the final half. Thatforced the Breakers to pushforward and Richmond tookadvantage by adding a pairof insurance goals.
The Synergy roster fea-tures multi-talented athleteswho also thrive in othersports, including basketball,volleyball, field hockey andsoftball. Ng says the play-ers will get some time offto focus on other activitiesbefore the team amps uptraining again in June witha tournament in Seattle pro-viding further preparationfor provincials.
“This is a physicallymature group of girls,”added Ng. “We believeit’s good for them to beinvolved in other sports. Itmakes them a better athleteand a better person. At thesame time, they understandthe commitment to playsoccer at this level and arealways focused and ready towork hard.
“It’s a real fit group andI used all 17 of them (in thefinal).”
Meanwhile, the All-Stars’ triumph adds to CliveClarke’s remarkable coach-
ing record.He has now guided three
teams to Coastal Cup titlesand his U13 squad will befavoured to make it threeProvincial Cup titles too.Clarke’s first run was withhis son Caleb’s RichmondMadrid squad. He nowplays professionally for theVancouver Whitecaps.
He then enjoyed an
outstanding run with theRichmond Red Hot Selectsthat completed their youthrun with back-to-back pro-vincial titles. That squadfeatured his daughterSummer — a member of thenational team program whois headed to Louisiana StateUniversity on a full-ridescholarship this fall.
Now, Clarke has wasted
little time tasting more suc-cess at the U13 level witha team that has dominatedsince September. His daugh-ter Ebony is a major forceat attacking centre midfieldand was named the MetroLeague’s most valuableplayer.
Richmond jumped out toan early 2-0 lead over theirIsland opponent in the final
and was in full control therest of the way.
“Sometimes I sit backand realize it’s a blessing tobe able to do what I havedone,” said Clarke of hissuccess. “We have somegirls who have improvedso much since the start ofthe season and I get moresatisfaction from that thananything else.”
