Strategic voting targets local riding
Kamp projected to win in
Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
A strategic voting initiative, stoked by
an anti-Harper sentiment, is targeting six
B.C. ridings, including Pitt Meadows-Maple
Ridge-Mission.
Catch 22 — which is registered with Elec-
tions Canada as a third party – has the
stated lofty goal of defeating more than 30
Conservatives in 2011.
“The Catch 22 founders realized that, given
the usual vote-splitting among squabbling
opposition parties, only a smart, targeted
campaign run independently of the par-
ties could deny Stephen Harper his goal,”
reads a new release. “This Catch 22 upstart
is starting to inspire discouraged voters in
52 of Canada’s 308 electoral districts to vote
together against Harper and astonish Can-
ada.”
Funded through individual donations, the
Catch 22 campaign and Facebook page has
been live for about a year and a half.
Volunteers are now targeting all-candidate
meetings to distributed leaflets urging folks
to vote strategically.
In Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge- Mission, the
campaign endorses NDP candidate Craig
Speirs as the only chance to defeat the Con-
servative incumbent.
Elizabeth Rosenau, a Maple Ridge resident
who ran against Speirs for the NDP nomina-
tion, is a volunteer with Catch 22. where the party runs a distant third should

Candidates quarrel over fisheries’ future challenges? He has done what he

stand up and defend our water,”

being gutted like a salmon or
merely having the fat trimmed
so it can work better and cheaper?
For NDP candidate Craig Speirs,
it’s the former because $57 million
in cost reductions could cripple
DFO’s ability to respond to critical
incidents.
Case in point, the death of thou-
sands of fish in the North Alouette
River two years ago last spring.
“Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows
residents are all too aware of what
can happen when the DFO lacks re-
sources,” Speirs says.
“In May of 2009, thousands of fish
were killed on the North Alouette
River. After delays of more than
two years, charges under various
acts have now been filed.”
Conservative candidate Randy
Kamp, formerly secretary to the
fisheries minister, doesn’t buy it.
“Craig obviously doesn’t know
what he’s talking about,” he says.
“I’ve been there. I’ve been involved
in the process of strategic review.”
The department just underwent a
normal cost-cutting review, as does
every other ministry, to ensure it’s
running efficiently and as cheaply
as possible. The cuts will be imple-
mented over two or three years.
Federal candidates (from left) Randy Kamp, Peter Tam, Craig Speirs and Mandeep Bhuller at a meeting in Mission.
“Taxpayers expect their money to
be well spent,” said Kamp, “so that
we do have the ability to fund things
that are important – like habitat
protection.
“We do this on a regular basis.”
If you have a $2-billion budget, you
can find savings and efficiencies, he
added.
Kamp pointed out the government
also reversed previous Liberal cuts
to the department and added a new
office.
According to Kamp, Speirs is just
looking for an election issue when
focusing on the issues in the North
Alouette River in the last two years.
Speirs, in a news release last week,
Mission Record/Black Press
said the money was to be “slashed”
just when the Cohen Commission on
the loss of the Fraser River sockeye
salmon could offer recommenda-
tions on improving salmon stocks.
“DFO is on life support and Ste-
phen Harper offers amputation.
“Where is Randy Kamp in all this
and how is he responding to these
Speirs said.
He added that if the cuts aren’t
having an effect, “How come there
are no boots in the river?”
Kamp counters: “If he wants to talk
about the North Alouette he should
at least get his facts straight.”
Kamp acknowledges the depart-
ment could have done better than
waiting a week to respond to re-
ports of excavation along the North
Alouette River in the middle of May
2009.
“I didn’t think DFO did everything
in the best possible way.”
But when Jack Emberly reported
the death of thousands of fish May
25, 2009, Kamp said Fisheries passed
on the file to Environment Canada,
which was on site the next day.
“They found three [dead] stickle-
back and one sculpin – and no real
evidence that there had been many
thousands of fish killed.”
That incident then went through
due process. “The system worked.”
Emberly, though, says when Envi-
ronment Canada officers came out it
was pouring rain and they couldn’t
see into the water. “The fish were
there – they [Environment Canada]
were just so stupid and incompetent
they couldn’t see them.”

Local candidate becoming Green spokesman to Vancouver Chinese

by Phil Me lnyc h u k
staff reporter
The Green party candidate in Pitt Meadows-
Maple Ridge-Mission is getting all the media
attention he could ask for.
Unfortunately, it’s not in his riding and like-
ly won’t affect the numbers of votes he brings
in on election day.
Halfway through the federal election cam-
paign, Peter Tam is finding himself the target
of Chinese media in Vancouver who are look-
ing for someone to speak about the Green
party.
Tam is the only candidate of Chinese de-
scent running for the Greens, a detail which
has resulted in interviews for the Sing Tao
and Ming Pao newspapers and the World
Journal.
In the past week, he’s done between five and
six interviews.
“The whole thing caught be by surprise, he
said. “I couldn’t keep track of who’s who.”
On Sunday, he participated in a Chinese
debate with a half-dozen other candidates on
Omni TV.
That involved Liberal, Conservative and
NDP Chinese candidates and allowed him to
complete the slate by representing the Green
party.
“This is an opportunity to relearn my Chi-
nese language that I lost 40 years ago.” Tam
was born in Hong Kong and came to Oakville-
Burlington, Ont. when he was nine years old
before moving to Maple Ridge.
He speaks Cantonese and used that in the
debate, but said Mandarin speakers would
also be able to understand him. While he can
carry on a conversation about day-to-day top-
ics, he worried about being able to discuss the
more complex ideas of public policy.
While the interviews and media exposure
likely will have little impact in mostly white
Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission, Tam sees
it as his duty to provide an example to his eth-
nic group to become involved.
“I feel an obligation to step forward and just
get involved with that even though it really
doesn’t have a lot of impact on my constitu-
ency.”
He said the questions he takes from the
Chinese media are the same as he gets from
the mainstream and that he gave the same re-
plies, explaining the Green party platform. Omni TV

‘Kamp keeps passing the buck’

Fisheries from front
In better weather,
Emberly said he saw
a metre-wide strip of
dead fingerlings on the
river bottom, stretch-
ing from the Neaves
Road bridge upstream
about a kilometre. He
estimates there were
1,000 dead fish in every
square metre and that
three days later even af-
ter tidal flushing in the
river, he still managed
to collect 20 dead fish in
an hour.
“What have they got
planned for the water-
shed if they don’t want
fish to be part of it?”
Emberly asked.
Kamp pointed out
the federal department
worked with the B.C.
Ministry of Environ-
ment on the investiga-
tion and eventually
Fisheries Act and Water
Act charges were laid
against members of the
Aquilini family, headed
by Francesco Aquilini,
in connection with the
installation of an intake
pipe connected to cran-
berry fields owned by
Golden Eagle Group,
part of the Aquilini In-
vestment Group. That
case is currently before
the courts.
Francesco, Paulo, Eli-
sa and Roberto Aquili-
ni, along with Richard
Matis, were charged in
February with 11 counts
under the Water Act,
the Fisheries Act and
the Dike Maintenance
Act, in connection with
the installation of an
irrigation pipe in the
North Alouette River in
May 2009.
Francesco Aquilini
heads the Aquilini In-
vestment Group, which
also owns the Vancou-
ver Canucks.
Golden Eagle Group,
operates almost 5,000
acres of berry farms in
Pitt Meadows.
“A pretty signifi-
cant corporation was
charged, so the system
worked,” Kamp said.
“At the end of the day,
the owner of the Van-
couver Canucks was
charged.”
Speirs also cites tes-
timony from the Co-
hen inquiry, quoting a
fisheries habitat and
enforcement manager
saying that staff in the
Interior are “very disil-
lusioned,” about being
unable to keep up with
the pace of develop-
ment in the Thompson,
Okanagan and Shuswap
regions.
“We can’t keep up,”
said Jason Hwang.
“We are not able to
pursue smaller occur-
rences that in the past
we have pursued and
prosecuted.”
Regulatory streamlin-
ing, a poor referral sys-
tem and staff cuts have
reduced DFO capac-
ity to respond, his note
said, resulting in failure
to achieve no-net loss of
fish habitat where de-
velopers must compen-
sate for any damage.
Hwang’s note also
warned logging in the
Interior had increased
massively to salvage
timber killed by moun-
tain pine beetles.
“We are totally disen-
gaged from operational
forestry,” he wrote. “We
don’t have a handle on
what is going on, and
are not providing any
meaningful guidance
on what we would like
to see for fish.”
Kamp said he didn’t
know the specifics.
But in high-growth ar-
eas, there may be chal-
lenges, he said. “The
department is always
open to looking at that,”
and adjusting staff lev-
els so they can do their
jobs, Kamp said.
“If he speaks out,
he’s going to be
sacked.”
Peter tam, Green party
Green party candi-
date Peter Tam sympa-
thized with Kamp. “If he
speaks out, he’s going
to be sacked. So that’s
the kind of regime that
he’s under.”
He supports environ-
mentalist Emberly’s
charges that Fisheries
and Oceans Canada is
evasive and ineffective.
Emberly even ques-
tions the future exis-
tence of the department.
“I don’t think they want
the DFO because it’s
too much trouble for in-
dustry.”
He wanted to know
why Kamp isn’t re-
sponding to the de-
mands for river man-
agement made by the
Maple Ridge-Pitt Mead-
ows Environmental
Council.
For Tam, “It is abso-
lutely clear that the
DFO have no intention
in carrying out their
duties and enforcing
the Fisheries Act.”
Cost cutting and con-
stant squeezing of re-
sources in Fisheries
could be followed the
same exercise in Envi-
ronment Canada.
“The current govern-
ment has no regard for
the environment what-
soever.”
Tam said people in the
Pitt Meadows-Maple
Ridge area “are gener-
ally very environmen-
tally conscious,” who
instead have to fight
their government for
environmental regula-
tion.
“It should be a part-
nership. We really
shouldn’t be fighting
each other this way.”
Liberal candidate
Mandeep Bhuller says
the fisheries depart-
ment has become too
politicized and that too
many decisions are be-
ing made from an ideo-
logical base.
And he said Kamp
keeps passing the buck,
blaming other depart-
ments. “To me, he’s
brushing that responsi-
bility off as an MP and
government.”
There seems to be
a disconnect between
Fisheries and Oceans
Canada between the
public, he added.

Dam the money flow
The aging Ruskin Dam on the north side of the
Fraser River could be on the last chapter of its
considerable history, if Rich Coleman has his
way.
Last week, the province’s energy minister an-
nounced that he is exploring options to throttle
back B.C. Hydro’s rate increases, in part by look-
ing at decommissioning two old dams that need
major upgrades.
The 80-year-old Ruskin Dam is slated for an al-
most complete reconstruction to make it earth-
quake safe.
B.C. Hydro estimates the project would take six
years and cost as much as $850 million, to pre-
serve a dam and upgrade a powerhouse to sup-
ply about 33,000 homes.
In fact, it could cost a great deal more than
that, since mega-projects of this type often see
estimated dollar figures soar skyward.
Coleman said he has sent B.C. Hydro “back
to the drawing board” on Ruskin, after receiv-
ing assurances that it is technically possible to
lower the level of Hayward Lake over time and
decommission the dam.
Citizens who see all things political in a more
cynical fashion may suggest this is merely an
early election ploy.
Saving nearly a billion dollars on rebuilding an
antique dam that may not be needed at all is a
catchy campaign feature, to be sure.
Politically motivated or not, this kind of fiscal
responsibility has major appeal to heavily bur-
dened taxpayers.
This type of critical thinking is exactly what
most constituents want from Victoria.
Don’t spend money needlessly, especially on
major projects that can be postponed, restruc-
tured or shelved altogether.

I caught up with
Harper on a tour
through swing ridings in Vancouver,
including Vancouver South, where
now-Liberal Ujjal Dosanjh hung on by
20 votes in the last of our semi-annual
federal elections.
Harper hit B.C. pleading for a majority
to stop this merry-go-round of elections
and stabilize the country as a player on
the global business scene.
I was granted a 10-minute interview,
and one of my questions was about the
multi-year program of business tax cuts
being completed by both the federal and
B.C. governments.
I asked Harper if B.C.’s unemployment
and investment performance suggests
not all of the savings are being rein-
vested. That’s because taxes are only
one factor, our economist Prime Minister
replied. Business confidence has to be
there, and that’s why stable, multi-year
programs are needed for business plans.

reduction plan, and Harper noted that
B.C. isn’t alone in following suit. Most
provinces have cut business taxes,
including Liberal and NDP provincial
the world. Ireland’s bankrupt, and it’s
not raising its business tax rates. The
United States has a deficit three times
ours, and President Obama, who’s not on
my side of the political spectrum, says
they need to lower their tax rates.”
But let’s not let federal or provincial
politicians blow smoke that it’s their
policies alone that have created 500,000
jobs across the country in two years, or
made Canada’s currency soar past the
U.S. dollar. Canada’s dollar is now seen
as a stable petro-currency in an unstable
world, and it’s international lumber
markets that have led to double-digit
unemployment in many B.C. towns.
Natural gas and foreign technology,
and investment in it, have been a key
part of B.C.’s recovery. And in general
we’re starting to enjoy the effects of a
commodity boom.
Then came the NDP leadership vote
on Sunday. Here is a party that already
has tilted itself toward the urban areas
with a one member-one vote system.
And it just rejected Mike Farnworth, its
most popular candidate and the one with
the best effort to emphasize rural and
resource development.
Newly anointed NDP leader Adrian
Dix is going to raise taxes on banks and
those evil corporations, and use the mon-
ey to subsidize post-secondary education
for anyone who wants it.
Meanwhile, the reality for post-second-
ary students is that business programs
are tough to get into, because students
are lining up to pay the supposedly oner-
promises to double a federal pension
program, just as Canada’s population ap-
proaches the tipping point in 2015, where
there will be more seniors than children
for the first time in our history.
Where Dix is alarming is when he talks
about offering a positive alternative to
the B.C. Liberals on the economy, the
environment and education.
“This is what’s ironic. You look
around the world. Ireland’s
bankrupt, and it’s not raising its
business tax rates.”
Stephen Harper
His convention win was presided over
by a senior official of the B.C. Teachers’
Federation. The NDP’s environment
policy is in disarray. And on the econo-
my, he is diametrically opposed to the
global consensus.

by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter

The City of Pitt Mead-

ows wants to review its
election sign bylaw this
year to figure out a way
to prevent the placards
from popping up all
over public property.
The bylaw, though,
won’t be looked at until
after November’s civic
election.
“It’s a thing of pol-
lution for me,” Mayor
Don MacLean said at a
committee meeting last
week.
“I think we’d have a
better turnout [for elec-
tions] if people were
forced to go door to door
and sell themselves.”
Election signs are
a pet peeve for the
mayor, who won’t be
seeking re-election this
year. Now in his fourth
term in office, MacLean
posts few signs during
civic campaigns and
restricts them to pri-
vate property. He has
reused his mayor signs
for the past decade.
Coun. Gwen O’Connell
seconded MacLean mo-
tion’s that directed staff
to review the bylaw,
while councillors Bruce
Bell, Tracy Miyashita
and Deb Walters voted
against it.
O’Connell said in the
2008 election, John
Clancy, a Pitt Meadows
resident who vied for a
seat on council, earned
more than a 1,000 votes
without posting an elec-
tion sign.
Walters, who will be
seeking the mayor’s
chair in November, be-
lieves a “good old-fash-
ioned handshake and

statutory holidays). For even more savings, register today at quickpasstolling.ca. Bing, who will also
be seeking the mayor’s
chair, shared MacLean’s
concerns about visual
pollution, but thought it
was self-serving for the
city’s current council to
call for a review.
Committee’s rec-

voted on by council on
Tuesday.

With a new leader,
there’s new hope – such
as for the New Demo-
crats in B.C.
Sunday’s choice of
Adrian Dix as NDP
leader has MLA Mi-
chael Sather hopeful
about election chances,
whenever a B.C. vote is
called.
Sather voted for the
new leader of the party
who won Sunday’s lead-
ership contest with 9,772
votes. Mike Farnworth
was runner-up.
“I like Adrian because
he’s not afraid to take
on challenging issues,
things that really differ-
entiate us from the Lib-
erals,” Sather said.

year, seems to have

healed. Sather, MLA for
Maple Ridge-Pitt Mead-
ows, was part of a group
of 13 MLAs who called
for then leader Carole
James to step down.
Sather was supporting
Vancouver MLA Jenny
Kwan, who in December
issued a blistering news
release calling for James
to step aside.
“There has been a
steady erosion of our
democratic principles.
Debate has been stifled,
decision-making cen-
tralized, and MLAs mar-
ginalized,” Kwan said.
That’s all history now,
however, Sather said.
“We’ve had our first
caucus meeting now and
I think there’s a very
high level of cohesion.”
He is confident about
the party’s chances

er Christy Clark in the

Bringing them to the Return-It Depot guarantees they’ll be turned into something useful like
cardboard boxes and tissue paper. So why not change your good habits. Return your milk containers
with your refundable beverage containers. It’s easy. Quickly rinse them out and crush them.
Remove any caps and bring them too, because they get recycled separately. There’s no refund on milk

n a phone call to Katie’s Place recently,
the woman at the other end told the vol-
unteer, “What do you mean you are full?
I have called all the other shelters and they
are full too. I got rid of the remaining kittens
from the latest litter my cat had, but no one
has room for my last 14-year-old adult. Why
the **** are all of you shelters full?”
The irony was lost on her.
This wasn’t a first for the hapless volunteer.

OPEN: Mon. - Fri. 8:00am - 8:00pm Sat. & Sun. 9:00am - 4:00pm away are less likely to get altered. They’re
the source of more cats.
Across North America, the majority of
homeless cats are still euthanized. Often
they’re abandoned first and they suffer hun-
ger, loneliness, terror and injuries before
they’re impounded and euthanized. This
heartbreaking situation galvanizes some
people into rescuing as many as they can.
In Maple Ridge, a group of animal lovers
got together to save a few cats, and the Ka-
tie’s Place shelter came into being. That’s the
only difference between the person phoning
to give up a cat and the person who answered
the phone. When callers are told that there’s
no room at the shelter, people have angrily
replied that Katie’s Place is not doing its job.
It’s not the volunteers’ job, though. What’s

themselves are their pet’s best hope.
Experience has taught the volunteers to
problem solve with beleaguered pet own-
ers so a pet can keep his home. It’s driven
them to spay and neuter every cat they can.
They have often arranged low-cost altering
for people who need it. The offspring from
one cat will take up half a dozen homes. Ka-
tie’s Place cannot take every pet from every
caller. Sheltering won’t end a pandemic of
animal suffering anyway. Promoting respon-
sible pet ownership is the only solution.
Now, at the start of another kitten season,
the volunteers want to get the word out to
spay or neuter every pet by six months of
age at the latest.
Altering makes cats and dogs better pets.
Spaying helps prevent uterine infections
and breast cancer. Neutering helps prevent
testicular cancer. Altering prevents the agi-
tation of heat cycles. It curbs territorial ag-
gression and the urge to roam. It makes pets
more contented homebodies. It will not make
a pet fat (overeating and under-exercising do
that).
The cost of altering works out lower than
the cost of caring for a litter or the cost of
vet care when a pet wanders and fights. Chil-
dren may miss the miracle of birth for now,
but they learn a priceless lesson about be-
having responsibly.
Lastly, if you’re thinking of adopting a fur-

Crossbow started during the 3-Day Novel
challenge

A
ward-winning Canadian author and humour-
ist Gordon Kirkland has taken his innate
sense of humour and combined it with a love
for a good mystery in his new book.
Crossbow, his seventh tome, is best described as a
marriage between Fargo and the darker passages of
Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS the Old Testament. It’s the first full-length novel for

which ran in Canada and U.S. from 1994 to 2007.

“Gomorrah on the high

prairie.”
Gordon Kirland,
writer

Set in a small Kansas town, Crossbow begins with

a series of deaths. Although the victims appear to
have been randomly chosen, the killer has, in fact,
decided that they must die for biblical transgressions
he believes they have committed. Among the first to
be slain is the county sheriff, leaving two deputies to
try to solve the case before the killer can achieve his
ultimate goal of wiping what he sees as “Gomorrah
on the high prairie” off the map, once and for all.
The deputies are far from seasoned police profes-
sionals. Dave Simmons, the senior of the two, is do-
Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS ing his best to improve by learning new police tech-
niques. He’d like to bring geographic profiling to the

th
Solid as a rock
Concrete may not be the first material many
think of when considering interior or exterior
decorating options, but Tony Reid is working
to change that perception.
• Forming & grading
Reid is the owner and president of Rock
• Remove & replace Solid Creations, a business that specializes
existing driveways in artistic decorative overlays and stamped
concrete applications.
WE ARE WCB “We’re a local residential/light commercial
INSURED concrete placing and finishing company,”
Reid said.
The stamped, or patterned, concrete in
particular has become a key focus for the
company. Rather than the typical solid grey
concrete used on many driveways, stamped
concrete is a highly decorative solution that
can be adapted to fit with almost any home’s
colour scheme.
“It can come in a variety of colours and
patterns,” Reid said. “There’s about 30 different
colours. It’s mostly for driveways and patios,
and it increases the value of your home.”
For stamping applications, they use Proline
Concrete Tools, which offer a wide variety of
design options that can spice up a regular
driveway.
“You’re doing your regular grey driveway
and you want something different, you try
stamped,” Reid said.
Rock Solid can do everything from
removing and replacing driveways to creating
decorative patios. Reid said the variety of
concrete designs and services Rock Solid
offers is a huge part of the appeal of the
business, as is its strong track record of doing
its best for customers.
“We have an A-plus rating with the Better
Business Bureau,” Reid said.
Another important aspect of the company’s
business is artistic concrete countertops. Reid
said the different colours and designs offered
makes the company’s countertops unique.
“They get something they couldn’t get in
granite,” he said. “We can simulate different
stones, we can include more artwork into it.”
For example, one recent countertop project
he did included stylized representations of
drills and gears.
“We called it ‘Industrial Fossils’,” Reid said.
Rock Solid Creations uses Surecrete Extreme
Countertop Mix, which Reid said is the best
out there thanks to its durability and ease of
construction.
“It’s always in the forefront,” he said. “It’s a
proprietary mix.”
Concrete countertops haven’t caught on
widely yet, but Reid thinks that trend will be
on the rise in the years to come.
“I’d say it’s like one per cent of the market,”
he said. “It’s definitely out there.”
The company also does other concrete
applications, including hearths and interior
overlays for floors.
One reason Reid is bullish on concrete’s
prospects is his long history with it. He
started working with concrete in 1976, and
said the material has improved so much that
many more things are possible with it now.
That’s not just about artistic options either, as
today’s concrete is also improved structurally
and functionally.
“Concrete today is way stronger and better
than it was 30 years ago,” Reid said.
It’s rapidly becoming more popular too, and
that’s keeping Reid and his business hopping.

As one of the cleanest burning, most
efficient fossil fuels available today, natural
gas provides many benefits over other
energy sources. Our high safety standards
and commitment to energy savings is what
makes our customers feel right at home
with natural gas. We are dedicated to
providing you with information about rates,
delivery and payment options, and tips on
how to save energy.
FortisBC not only brings natural gas into
your home but also brings you energy
leadership for the future.
M\ijXk`c\
Use it to heat your home and your water,
dry your clothes, cook your food, and to
set a mood with the ambience created by a
gas fireplace. You can also use natural gas
outdoors – for lighting, tbarbecuing, and
heating your hot tub or swimming pool.
JX]\Xe[i\c`XYc\
We have an impeccable safety record, and
we’re always ready to respond if you think
you have a gas emergency.
Natural gas is piped directly into your home
with virtually no interruptions to supply.
It’s always there when you need it and you
never have to worry about running out of
fuel or arranging for deliveries.
:c\XeXe[^i\\e
Natural gas is virtually free of sulphur and
nitrogen, and produces significantly less
particulate matter and fewer greenhouse
gases than comparable fossil fuels, such
as oil. Choosing natural gas for heating
K_\\em`ifed\ek%N\Ëm\^fkfliY\jkg\fgc\fe`k%
is an energy-efficient option. It can save
consumers money while enjoying all
the benefits of living with natural gas
appliances. For more information go to
fortisbc.com/naturalgas/homes.
IXe^\j
With the even, direct heat and precise
temperature control of natural gas, you’ll
enjoy exactly the right setting — from a
low simmer to a fast boil. It’s why top chefs
prefer cooking with natural gas. Natural gas
cooking appliances may cost a little more
than electric models, but they’ll pay you
9XiY\Zl\j
Never run out of fuel again with a natural
gas barbecue.
By choosing natural gas, you’ll enjoy your
grill without lifting heavy propane tanks or
dealing with messy charcoal. Studies suggest
that natural gas gives off up to 30 per cent
less carbon emissions than charcoal.
Natural gas barbecues use flexible hoses to
connect to your home’s natural gas supply
with a “quick-connect.” Contact a licensed
gas contractor to extend your home’s
natural gas piping to your backyard or patio
and install the “quick-connect.” The quick-
connect makes it easy for you to attach,
disconnect and move the barbecue or any
natural gas appliances on your patio.
>Xj[ip\ij
A natural gas dryer uses about half the
energy it takes to dry the same load in an
electric dryer. And, drying a typical load
of laundry in a gas dryer can cost less*
than in an electric dryer (*NRCan Personal:
Residential, Canada)
A natural gas dryer uses electricity to turn
the drum and natural gas to provide heat. If
you do a lot of laundry, the savings can add
up fast!
The most important thing is to ensure
you’re buying the right sized dryer for your
home. Too big, too small: they’re both going
to be inefficient and more expensive to run.
A larger drum allows for larger loads, but
a smaller appliance can give more efficient
heat and tumbling action.
Laundry is something you likely know a lot
about because you do so much of it. Use that
knowledge to choose the right natural gas
dryer for you.
GXk`f_\Xk\ij
Natural gas patio heaters and lamps are a
great way to extend your patio season.
As “outdoor rooms” gain popularity, more
and more households are enjoying relaxing,
dining and entertaining outdoors.
With natural gas patio heaters and lamps,
you can extend the season conveniently,
back with performance and years of reliable
service. Depending on your needs, cooktops
and ovens can come as separate units and
come in a wide variety of sizes, styles and
configurations to meet your kitchen’s decor. K\iXj\e>XjXe[
Models can be free-standing or built into
a wall or kitchen island. Choose from self-
clean or manual clean ovens.
=fik`j9:efn
Today’s wide variety of natural gas j_Xi\fe\eXd\Ç
appliances include ranges and cooktop
options to fit any build or remodel. The =fik`j9:
added convenience of electronic ignition is a
welcome replacement for pilot lights.

Depending on the number and ages of
people in your household, hot water needs
may account for more than 20 per cent of
your total annual energy consumption.
K_\\e\i^p]XZkfi
Efficiency of water heaters is measured
as an “energy factor” which is the amount
of heat needed to heat water divided by the
amount of energy to produce the heat. The
higher the number, the more efficient the
heater. The energy factor can be increased
with better insulation and refined design.
The higher the energy factor, the better it is
for the environment – and your wallet.
To determine the energy factor for a particular
water heater, read the manufacturer’s manual
or speak to your retailer.
Gas water heaters are covered by federal and
provincial efficiency standards.

Space heating in a typical home accounts
for between 40 and 60 per cent of a family’s
annual energy consumption. That’s why it
pays to explore heating options carefully
before making a major investment in a
new system.
=fiZ\[$X`i]lieXZ\j
Natural gas combustion heats the air, which
is then blown by a fan in living spaces
through a network of ducts and vents.
?p[ife`Z_\Xk`e^
In a typical system, hot water from a
central gas-fired boiler is circulated
through pipes to radiators or radiant floor
coils in each room.
Iffd_\Xk\ijXe[nXcc]lieXZ\j
Wall-mounted or freestanding, these units
are direct vented to an outside wall. Using
an electric fan, they blow gas-heated air
into the living space, independent of any
ducting system.

“Try to get away from that typical library look – all the books
pulled to the front of the shelf. You can add interest with
accent pieces like pottery, small statues. Think about using
some of the additions as bookends.”

›› from page.1
but as we proceeded Bill was thrilled with the result.
Books are so personal and it can be nerve racking to
allow someone to handle them and change everything
around.”
How Hunter handled the project is a great primer for
those hesitant to dive in and sort things out.
“It makes sense to first, as hard as this is, edit out
the books you know you won’t read again or subjects
you have lost interest in,” says Hunter. “Take out all the
paperbacks and use them in other parts of the home
...Once you are left with your ‘keepers’ and empty space
the fun can begin.”
Bookcases can hold more than the obvious; they can
be almost a blueprint of your life. Books, works of art,
family photographs, and mementos of past travels well-
displayed can be an amazing, unique, addition to any
room.
“Try to get away from that typical library look which
is all the books pulled to the front of the shelf,” says
Hunter. “Now you can add interest by adding accent
pieces like pottery, small statues. Think about using
some of the additions as bookends.”
She suggests laying large books horizontally on the
shelves and placing art on the top of the stack, which
allows it to be displayed to great effect.
“If you have books say on Thailand and a pieces of
art from your visit to that wonderful country together
they would make a wonderful display,” says Hunter.
“Change textures by mixing up porcelain, wood, woven
art such as ethnic baskets, with photos, this creates
contrast. Don’t overdo adding pieces or you are back to
a hodgepodge.”

Bookcases like these can be used for more than just books.
Homeowners are encouraged to creatively arrange statues
and other artifacts of their travels alongside the books to
create interest. Martin Knowles photos

After living with only the two original
main floor bedrooms, each member of
the family now has their own bedroom.
The main floor has a new kitchen
and new bathroom. The original main
bedroom at the front of the house was
converted to a music room to hold the
piano and the back deck was updated
with a full roof. The whole main floor
was changed from a series of cramped
small rooms to a more open plan which
is much more suitable for the family.
When the renovation was complete
the original 900 square foot house
became a modern, bright 2,500 square
foot home.

Build the perfect deck

as summer beckons
Homeowners are moving outside as the sun
comes out, and renovations to an outdoor deck
are often high on the priority list.
Maggie Calloway
There has been an explosion of
interest in outdoor living in recent
years.
It seems we have come full circle
from looking outside our homes for
entertainment to spending much more
time at home with family and friends.
It follows that as we open our homes
more, we need to turn our attention to
what is working and what is not. Our
crumbling decks, patios and terraces
are not very inviting as outdoor rooms,
so what to do?
Like any other renovation, there are
a few things to consider before jumping
into the deep end.
You should decided how you are
planning on using the outdoor area
and what the budget for the project
will be. You should also consider how
the outdoor space will complement the
house.
Building the space is just the
beginning.
Because a deck takes a certain
amount of punishment from the
elements, unlike an interior space,
money should be put aside to furnish
what could be considered a new room.
When planning where and how to
build your new outdoor space, keep in
mind you will need accessibility. No
one wants to be constantly walking up
›› more page.12

“Some decks are very

straightforward. Some can be tricky.
To (ensure) the finished project
is everything you want, hiring a
professional is a wise move.”
John Juzyniec, Solution Renovations

With more interest in outdoor living, deck renovations like this one from Solution Renovations are on the rise.

Hit the decks

With more interest in outdoor living and entertaining,
deck renovations are on the rise, and becoming more elaborate.

›› from page.11
and down stairs or through the whole house to get
to both the kitchen and the bathroom.
Also, think about what your view will be from
the new structure and factor landscaping into the
budget if necessary.
Privacy is another big consideration; everyone
has horror stories about being ambushed by
neighbours because they could see you out on
your deck.
John Juzyniec, a partner in Solution
Renovations, recommends homeowners getting
help from a designer.
“Some decks are very straightforward and you
don’t need a designer but some can be tricky and
to (ensure) the finished project is everything you
want it to be, hiring a professional is a wise move,”
he says.
“Some people design their decks without
considering what they will be looking at when they
are sitting down,” Juzyniec says.
“If you use a wooden top bar for the railing,
even glass topped by wood, when you are sitting
down the wood bar is exactly level with your eyes.”
He says the answer is frameless glass railings,
which are fairly expensive at about $100 per foot
but will allow homeowners to keep their view.
“Sometimes clients want the clean look of glass
but privacy is an issue,” Juzyniec says.
“In these cases obscure glass is the answer;
it gives you the look you want while protecting
privacy. This glass also hides unwanted views.”
Like every other part of your renovation it
pays to get input from the professionals. They
have years of experience and know how to handle
obstacles.
Not a bad thing!

Best Builders Ltd. worked with
the homeowners of this West Side
Vancouver proprty to create a beautiful
home while saving money, and ended
up with a modern home that still fits
in with the neighbourhood.

The client was not using an requirement of each family

›› from page.1
Georgie he won in the Best Renovation
between $500,000 - $799,000 category for a
renovation on Vancouver’s West Side. He is
especially proud of how his company worked
in partnership with the homeowners to create
a beautiful home by constantly looking for
ways to recycle and re-purpose and still get an
exceptionally solid home.
The 50-year-old house sits in a beautiful
neighbourhood of similar homes with a street
canopy of mature trees and established gar-
dens. The original plan was to tear down the
house and build a new home but a new home
would have had to follow all the city’s new set
back guidelines which would mean a smaller
home. Conversely, a renovation would have
the advantage of being able to grandfather all
the set backs, an important point to keep in
mind when buying property as a tear down.
But the house needed a tune up. Today’s
families want more open space with daylight
flooding each room. Gone are the small
rooms with dim light and the parlour saved
only for tea with the vicar.
And so it was with this family of five,
including three small children. They loved
the neighbourhood and they loved the solid
house but needed to create a family home
which would work for them.
“There was a huge advantage to keeping the
existing footprint and a larger square footage
but we did have some design issues,” Best says.
“Because the style of the home is consistent
throughout the neighbourhood, the frontage
of the home and the roofline had to conform.
architect so we were design-
ing the renovation along
with the homeowner, which
was a unique project for us.”
The house was suspended
in the air on piers and the
builders dug down un-
derneath to make a new
full basement with a new
foundation from what was
originally 6’ headroom with
all the old drain tiles. On
the top side the roof was
removed and they went up
another full floor, which was
reframed to make it look like
the original home from the
street.
“We gained two full feet
in the basement to make the
entire space usable. In the
new upper floor we were
able to create a new master
bedroom, a huge master
ensuite and a small office,”
Best says.
“In the basement level
there are bedrooms, for the
kids and the nanny, and
laundry. The main floor is a
large kitchen and dining area, living room and
family room, all of which work perfectly for
this family because they wanted a main floor
designed so they can always keep their eyes
on the kids. The family room doors pull right
back and lead onto a covered outdoor play
area for the kids”
On the third floor, Best Builders incorpo-
rated the closets, drawers and even the TV
into the design, which left more floor space
for the homeowners.
“This was the advantage of working so
closely with the homeowners on the design,”
Best says. “We were able to really custom
build every square inch of the home to the
member, which translates
into no wasted space”
Every detail was thought
through including the design
of the open riser staircase to
give the appearance of the
living room being bigger.
Stairs often look like dead
space but this design allows
the eye to pass through. A
skylight above the stairs
floods the area with light,
again creating the feeling of
expansive space.
All the floors are walnut
until you come to the stairs
and posts which are actu-
ally inexpensive parallam
structural beams. Stained to
match the walnut floors, they
serve two purposes: they are
very strong and relatively
inexpensive. The solid doors
throughout the home were
bought from a salvage yard
for $1,000, refinished and
hung at just a fraction of the
price of new.
Best Builders, which has
huge buying power, helped
the homeowners shop around and passed all
the savings on, which made a difference to the
bottom line.
The colour palette of the home is perfect,
with rooms flowing naturally into the next
with a limited change of tone, which gives a
calm feeling mixed with high style.
