a Kamloops home destroyed by fire after a deadly shooting-turnedstandoff came to an explosive end Thursday night (May 17). One man from Surrey is dead and the home was reduced to rubble after the six-hour standoff. It was “a terrible night for everybody,� Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said. As of Friday, authorities had not released the name of the deceased suspect, who has been identified only as a 48-year-old electrician from Surrey. Learned said Friday investigators had not been able to even locate his body, let alone make any determinations about manner of death. The incident began just before 5:30 p.m. Thursday when police received a report of shots being fired at a single-family home. Neighbours called 911 after apparently spotting a man wearing a trench coat and armed with a shotgun enter the home. A single shot was then heard. The house was home to a single mother and her four children. Learned described the gunman as “an estranged acquaintance� of the woman, and he was believed to be in possession of a five-kilogram box of explosives in addition to the firearm. The woman was inside with her current boyfriend and her four kids.

Nearly 50 cents per litre goes to governments, TransLink by Jeff Nagel METRO VANCOUVER drivers
are now paying more than $1 billion a year in combined gas and carbon taxes, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
The lobby group said the latest two-cent-per-litre increase in TransLink’s fuel tax on April 1 and the next 1.1-cent bump in B.C.’s carbon tax on July 1 puts the region over that threshold. Drivers in Metro Vancouver now pay nearly 50 cents per
litre in combined fuel taxes. “This is highway robbery,� said Jordan Bateman, the CTF’s B.C. director. “Drivers are tired of seeing their hard-earned money evaporate into government’s coffers.� The federal and provincial

governments and TransLink took in a total of $958 million from Metro drivers last year through taxes at the pumps, and the CTF calculated that will rise to $1.02 billion this year. See DRIVERS / Page 5

Trial for trio charged in Surrey mom’s murder
Not guilty plea from accused Surrey rioter Alicia Price faces three charges by Sheila Reynolds
Amanpreet Kaur Bahai’s husband and two others accused of first-degree murder in 33-year-old’s 2007 slaying
A SURREY woman accused of
by Sheila Reynolds THREE PEOPLE charged with the 2007 murder of a Surrey mother of three
have been ordered to stand trial. Amanpreet Kaur Bahia’s body was found in a pool of blood in her home near 125 Street and 58 Avenue more than five years ago by family members who had returned from an outing. Police described the death as a “brutal, violent attack.” Two of her three young daughters were home when the murder occurred, left to fend for themselves for several hours while their mother lay dead. It wasn’t until last year that Amanpreet’s husband Baljinder Singh Bahia, 41, was arrested, along with two others: 33-year-old Eduard Viktorovitch Baranec and Tanpreet Kaur Athwal, 42. All three were charged with firstdegree murder. In laying charges last year, police revealed that Bahia’s husband was identified as a “person of interest” early in the investigation. In December 2010, investigators from the Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crime Historical Case Unit - South provided investigators with new information that assisted in advancing the investigation, said police. The trial was ordered Tuesday (May 15) after a short preliminary hearing that began the day before in Surrey Provincial Court. The trio’s case will now proceed to B.C. Supreme Court. A trial date has not been set.

lighting a police car on fire during last year’s Stanley Cup riot has pleaded not guilty. Alicia Price, 22, was charged in December with taking part in a riot, mischief to property over $5,000 and arson damaging property. On Wednesday (May 16) in Vancouver Provincial Court, she pleaded not guilty to all three charges. Her next trial date is not until March of next year, when a pre-trial conference is scheduled, and her trial isn’t slated to begin until September 2013. Websites that sprung up to identify alleged rioters after the June 2011 incident identified a woman on a YouTube video as Price. In the shaky video, it appears a young woman with bleach-blond hair and a lip piercing leans inside the back seat of a police car, holding a lit lighter to the upholstery and what looks to be a crumpled piece of paper. Price has no prior criminal record. Crown prosecutors have now charged a total of 91 people with riot-related offences.

Fire crews: Held back due to bomb danger From page 1 The ex fired a shot into the ceiling of the home and ordered everyone out except the woman. Homes within a 200-metre radius – approximately 20 in all – were evacuated. Residents were offered temporary shelter at Interior Savings Centre. Just after 7 p.m., police contacted the gunman by phone. An hour later, neighbours reported seeing the man closing the home’s blinds. At about 8:30 p.m., a Kelowna-based RCMP emergency response team – equivalent to a municipal police force’s SWAT team – arrived at the scene and set up a command post in the parking lot of a nearby strip mall. Learned said police maintained phone contact with the gunman throughout the incident, and learned the man was distraught about his break-up with the hostage two years earlier. The man also said he had wired explosives to the gas tank of his vehicle, and at one point told officers he would walk out of the home with the hostage handcuffed to him and a bomb switch in his hand. He said the bomb would detonate if police shot him. He did not exit the home, but held the woman hostage for more than six hours, releasing her at midnight after a lengthy phone conversation with an RCMP negotiator.

the RCMP negotiator “abruptly” lost contact with the gunman. Flames could then be seen inside the home, beginning on the main floor but quickly spreading to the rest of the house. A short time later, another explosion rocked the neighbourhood. The fire was under control by 1 a.m., but the home was destroyed. Learned said officers confirmed there was a bomb in the vehicle the gunman drove to the home. Once the fire scene was stabilized, bomb squad officers used a robot to safely remove and neutralize the explosive device. Technicians from the Explosive Demolition Unit (EDU) noted that if the bomb had exploded, there would likely have been fatalities and serious injuries for anyone in the immediate area. aLearned praised Kamloops Fire Rescue crews, who were forced to hold off battling the blaze for 30 minutes because of the potential of further explosions. “The house was lost, and that’s unfortunate,” he said. “But, houses can be replaced and lives can’t be.” Neighbour Paul Zaetsoff, who lives a block away from the house, said he couldn’t believe what he was seeing in the usually quiet neighbourhood. “It is really bizarre,” he said. “It’s very sad to see this so close to home. This is actually unbelievable that it’s happening here.” tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

TransLink’s portion will account for more than $350 million – the biggest chunk – while the federal government’s 10-cent tax pulls in $208 million from Metro, provincial gas tax of 8.5 per is worth $177 million, the carbon tax of 6.67 cents as of July will be nearly $140 million and the five-per-cent federal HST generates another $145.6 million. For a 64-litre tank fill-up, taxes account for more than $31 and could add up to nearly $1,600 per year for a two-car family. Much of Ottawa’s take is handed back to TransLink via cities for transportation investment, but Bateman said governments should allocate all gas taxes to roads and bridges or cut them immediately. “We’re told tolls are necessary for projects like the Highway 1/ Port Mann Bridge expansion,” he said. “Clearly there is enough money being taken from drivers

HIGH SCHOOL
RAESIDE
Adults should pay
F
ree cradle-to-grave public education would be a great idea if we could afford it. Education is expensive and, in some cases, students should be expected to pay for it. No one would quibble about the benefits of free public K-to-12 education and post-secondary school should be subsidized to guarantee a well-educated and skilled work force. But there may be times when free tuition doesn’t accomplish the goals set out by the citizens who have to pay for it and, after experimenting with the Education Guarantee, the B.C. government has figured this out. After four years of providing free tuition to graduated adults seeking to upgrade their high school education, the province is now whittling down the number of courses it will offer at no charge. More specifically, the province has determined that it will only pay for literacy, math and competency courses for students learning English as a second language and English 12, Biology 12, Math 11 and 12, Chemistry 11 and Physics 11. The idea is that these are the courses that are most sought after by students seeking to upgrade their education. Students who wish to take history, law or accounting, which could be seen more as electives than core academics, will now have to pay for them. The province has also moved to withhold partial funding unless courses are completed, and while we don’t know all the details – and there could be some costly fine print for school districts unless attention is paid to this issue – the principle is sound. Taxpayers should only pay for courses that people sign up for and complete. Adding English 11, Communications 11 and 12, Physics 12, and Chemistry 12 to the list of free core courses is also a good idea because they, too, are needed for university or college. But until educators are prepared to work for free, students will have to contribute in some way to their own education. – Black Press

The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, 201 Selby St., Nanaimo, B.C. V9R 2R2.

remier Christy Clark has a new political problem buzzing around her office. A year ago, the newly appointed premier was looking to change the channel for an unpopular government grappling with the fallout of the Harmonized Sales Tax. Newly appointed NDP leader Adrian Dix was touting an idea that is all the rage with urban folks, a ban on “cosmetic pesticides.” All the better B.C. communities already have one, starting with Clark’s old stomping ground of Port Moody in 2003. So she figured she’d better run to the front of this parade, swipe a popular policy from the opposition and do something to redefine the B.C. Liberal Party after the tax-cutting, regulation-repealing decade of Gordon Campbell. But first an all-party committee would hold hearings around the province, chaired by Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. Bennett presented the committee’s report last week, and one could see what was coming. Bennett is the rifle-toting outdoorsman who recently called on his government to abandon the carbon tax, saying it’s silly to keep pretend-

tive Lindsay Hansen said B.C. was the first province to ask for its advice, despite the fact that most provinces have imposed bans. These bans are political, not public safety measures, University of Guelph toxicologist Keith Solomon told MLAs. The committee also learned that “cosmetic” use accounts for only five per cent of pesticide use. Most of it is in agriculture, forestry and commercial pest control, with no ban proposed. MLAs in farming areas signalled their concern over the effect of this urban gesture politics. Backyard fruit trees go unsprayed and pests spread to orchards and fields. We have large areas of agricultural land reserve, but 85 per cent of the people who live in those areas don’t farm. The NDP is content to fan public fear and ignore evidence, as with smart meters and oil pipelines. The premier has a choice here. She can do the popular thing, or the right thing.

Pink slips coming for B.C. Liberals KEVIN FALCON has finally
announced his plans for the return to the PST. As per the voters’ demands, this is centered on bringing back all the old exemptions. But after 19 months of HST taxes at $2 billion per year, new software will mean 100 fewer clerical people needed to run the PST – a grand savings of $9 million per year. Falcon’s business professors might be proud of him, but the B.C. public can see through this latest spinning smokescreen. The biggest mistake made by the public on the HST referendum was to assume that when we voted to return to the “status quo ante” we all assumed it would be right away. What fools we were to trust these sellers of snake oil. All the systems were in place and it should have taken 90 days maximum to go back to what B.C. had before – if the government wanted to improve the PST they could have done this in parallel with implementing the people’s wishes. Well, the B.C. Liberals can now see from the opinion polls what happens when they keep trying to fool us over and over. They will get their pink slips next spring when the B.C. Liberal party disappears under the waves forever. Herb Spencer, Surrey

Bylaw officers, get your priorities straight WE AWOKE this past Thursday morning to
find a most unwanted surprise on my wife’s car window: A $40 ticket from the city for “parking too close to a driveway.” Our car was parked on the street beside the parking lot entrance to AJ McLellan Park on 62A Avenue. The bylaw stated – according to the ticket – that the limit was three metres of clearance from said entrance. Our car was probably just out of that range. So on that technicality, our car is guilty. However, let’s get real guys. Does a bylaw officer have nothing better to do with my tax dollars than to stick questionable tickets on law-abiding Surrey citizens’ windshields at 10:40 p.m. Consider what you should have been after right here in this neighbourhood if you’d only
come around when you should and not when everyone is sleeping. Come on by Saturday and Sunday mornings to watch all the unleashed dogs romp away through the park. I have no problem with dogs; I like them, however fair is fair. Ticket them. And then there is the matter of the golfers whacking golf balls in the park after school and on weekend afternoons. Again, don’t get me wrong because I love golf. However, I go to the driving range like most other normal people to whack my golf balls because I know it is a lot safer than the park when there are kids out there. So do your job and ticket them too. And how about the use of AJ McLellan Park and parking lot for all the dope smokers who feel they can use it for not only the smoking of it, but for the dealing of it too? The city bylaw
guys could at least ticket them for loitering and littering – as evidenced by all the discarded Slurpie cups and roaches. Don’t believe me? Come on over and see for yourself and please bring your ticket book. We have called the RCMP numerous times hoping that at least they’ll tell them to go somewhere else and smoke because it’s not actually legal and it’s not actually their neighbourhood. So please Mr. Bylaw Guy travelling the streets of Surrey late at night, go write some real tickets for real infractions and stop worrying about less than half-a-meter of car length on a dead-end street. Fair is fair. Go after the aforementioned offenses. I want to see some justice here.

What about the ‘idle rich’ of Whistler? RE: “BC Ferries’ fleet sails
into storm,” The Leader, May 15. I have total empathy for Tom Fletcher’s feelings toward “the idle rich who can afford Gulf Islands real estate.” Indeed, why would we “working people” want to throw away untold millions into the laps of undeserving rich? Strangely enough though, I do not recall Tom’s inveighing against the rich when we, the working people, were transferring countless millions while upgrading Sea-to-Sky Highway that leads to nothing more than a conglomeration of very expensive real estate known as Whistler. Perhaps the only rich that deserve condemnation are the ones who are likely to vote NDP?
A letter writer wonders why Black Press columnist Tom Fletcher targets Gulf Island property owners while giving Whistler fat cats a free ride.
RE: “WHAT’S in a name?”, The
Leader, May 15. The late and great premier WAC Bennett said, “People follow leaders, not parties.” Ironic, for sure. If it was not for WAC Bennett, the Social Credit party probably would not have got elected. What’s in a name? Fortunately, the present leader of the B.C. NDP party, Adrian Dix, is no WAC Bennett. Those who do not support the NDP can agree on one issue. They do not want a repeat of the last NDP disasters, such as the fast ferry fiasco, Bingogate, or Deckgate. This calls for disciplined, strategic voting on the basis of which candidate, Liberal or Conservative, has the best chance of beating the NDP candidate. This strategy would not have worked in the Port MoodyCoquitlam byelection, but would have worked in the Chilliwack-Hope byelection. Fred Perry, Surrey

Students seem to be making the sacrifices IF THE B.C. Teachers’ Federation
believes that cancelling extra-curricular activities is helping to prove a point, or to work towards a cause, myself and my fellow classmates disagree. Through all my years (I’m a Grade 7 student at the moment) I have been taught by my teachers that to
do more is to go far. However, twice now I have been robbed of such. First was the science fair, which was cancelled due to job action, and second was the elementary art show, which was also abruptly cancelled after all my excitement. Also, I have been informed that we will not have a graduation ceremony, since teach-
ers can not attend – so sadly, neither can we. Teachers say it is the kids that matter, but my confidence in them is slipping, for if they truly cared, wouldn’t the BCTF be happy to let teachers help youth exceed their goals? Students care about their teachers,
and I know that all my teachers feel the same way. I hope this gets them thinking, but if I can leave them one thing to think about, let it be this: We seem to be making sacrifices for your battles.

Blame higher BC Hydro bills on human error LATELY, I’VE noticed a sharp increase in the number of media reports about BC Hydro billing errors. Invariably, smart meters are claimed as the supposed cause of these billing errors. But are they really the cause or are there other, more mundane, reasons for these billing errors? As someone who experienced a BC Hydro billing error a couple of years ago due to an “estimated bill” – long before smart meters were in place in this province – I really have to question whether digital smart meters are at
fault. Digital technology is well-proven and very accurate. So I seriously doubt smart meters are the problem. I also find it curious that the media never seem to follow up on these billing error stories once the error has been investigated by BC Hydro and the actual reason for the error has been determined. Why not? Could it be that stories about how a BC Hydro employee may have simply misread a smart meter and entered the wrong data, or stories about how a BC Hydro customer was
simply not familiar with their actual electricity consumption history, don’t make for the kind of sensational news items the media seem to be looking for in relation to smart meters? I really have to wonder about this, because mounting evidence shows that the apparent surge in BC Hydro billing errors has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with human nature and human error.

by Jeff Nagel ICBC IS taking another run at
reforming its premium system to punish high-risk drivers and reward safer ones, but this time it won’t take aim at speeders. The move comes one year after Justice Minister Shirley Bond shot down a first attempt as illconsidered, particularly a proposal that one speeding ticket trigger higher auto insurance premiums for three years. “We heard loud and clear last year that people were uncomfortable with some of the proposals being put forward,” said Steve Crombie, ICBC vice-president of corporate communications. “The single speeding ticket option is off the table.” This time the public auto insurer isn’t spelling out any preferred scenario, but will sample public opinion on a series of options at province-wide open houses and online consultations. The main goal remains the same: adjust basic insurance premiums based on the driver’s history of at-fault crashes rather than just the claims against the vehicle.
The result would be a revenueneutral shift of insurance costs onto anyone who repeatedly crashes. ICBC says two-thirds of drivers would pay even less insurance than they already do, while one-third would pay significantly more. It suggests typical low- to medium-risk drivers who are either crash-free or perhaps have just one crash over the past decade might see their basic insurance rates drop from $825 to $675, while a high-risk driver who enjoys a hefty discount despite multiple crashes may see their cost rise from $875 to $1,250. “This is a redistribution of existing premiums,” Crombie said. The exact impact on drivers will depend on what ICBC proposes after collecting public feedback. Key questions to be decided include how far back ICBC should go in counting past crashes against a driver (five, 10 or 15 years); whether more recent crashes should get more weight than older ones; and whether there should be one free crash earned (or else an added discount in lieu) after 10 years of safe driving. ICBC also wants to know
whether the public supports using drivers’ crash history before the anticipated 2014 implementation of the new system – resulting in a sudden shift in premiums then – or if there should be a phase in. It’s also asking if convictions for impaired driving, street racing convictions or excessive speeding should also be factored in to the higher premiums based on risk. So far ICBC has no specific proposal to change the existing system of penalty points and Driver Risk Premiums for speeding and other violations. Drivers who rack up lots of regular speeding tickets but avoid crashes would not notice any difference under the new proposals. Officials say the changes aim to correct unfair aspects of the existing insurance system, under which 80 per cent of drivers qualify for the maximum safe driving discount. An open house is set for Surrey on May 31. For more meeting times and locations and more information see publicengagement.icbc.com. Public comment is also accepted on line until June 22.

Trustee urges government to find a better way to settle teachers’ dispute Laurie Larsen blames province’s approach for unsuccessful negotiations by Sheila Reynolds
A SURREY school trustee wants the provincial government to go back to the drawing board and come up with a better way to negotiate an agreement with B.C. teachers. “Obviously, this isn’t working. It’s just been so frustrating for everyone, the teachers, the parents, students, the trustees, admin,” said Trustee Laurie Larsen. “I feel that the government could have acted in a different way with different results.” At a school board meeting Thursday, Larsen suggested that the Surrey Board of Education forward its concerns to the minister of education as soon as possible. In a motion presented to fellow trustees, she asked that Education Minister George Abbott be “strongly urged” to “develop alternative approaches to dispute resolution given that the efforts to date have met
with no success.” She also wants the Surrey board to tell the minister to be more flexible so that a settlement can be reached prior to the end of June “so that this school year can be completed in a positive and productive
manner and the 2012-13 school year can commence with a renewed commitment to shared support and respect for education.” All but one of the trustees supported Larsen, although Trustees Shawn Wilson and Pam Glass were absent. Trustee Reni Masi said he felt the motion was unnecessary and late and believes the mediation process should proceed.
“No matter what the mediator suggests or recommends, neither side has to follow it anyways,” Masi said. “It’s an attempt to bring the parties together. There doesn’t have to be a binding decision.” B.C. teachers began job action last September, refusing to complete report cards and do administrative-type work. In March, teachers went on a three-day strike to protest Bill

POLICE ARE looking for the driver of
a hit-and-run vehicle that left a man with broken legs last week. On Tuesday (May 15) at about 9:30 p.m., police were called to a pedestrian struck in the 10500 block of 150 Street. A man was crossing the street when it’s believed a southbound red sports car, possibly a Chevy Cavalier, struck the 24-year-old Surrey man. He was not at marked crosswalk. It’s unclear whether speed or alcohol
were factors in the accident. The pedestrian was taken to hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. Police are hoping witnesses may have seen the accident and are able to offer more details. If you have any information regarding the accident, call the Surrey RCMP non-emergency line at 604599-0502 or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 or leave a tip on www.solvecrime.ca.

a pay raise. Last Monday evening (May 14), Delta’s civic politicians gave three readings to a staff-recommended bylaw that would increase their salaries to match the average of four other Lower Mainland municipalities. That bylaw will be scheduled for final adoption later this month. If approved, Mayor Lois Jackson will receive a pay hike to $110,653 from $103,932, while the six councillors will see their remuneration jump to $47,564 from $44,048. Council’s pay is based on a formula that compares their remuneration to those of four Metro Vancouver municipalities with similar populations – Coquitlam, Richmond, Township of Langley and District of North Vancouver.

District saves $400,000 reducing instructional days by Sheila Reynolds STUDENTS IN Surrey public schools will get another two-week break next spring. The Surrey Board of Education voted Thursday to extend the one-week provincial break by four days next March. The extra closure days are March 25-28, which fall between the standard spring break week and Easter, meaning kids will be out of school March 18 to April 1. Two-week spring breaks have become the norm in many B.C. school districts as boards try to save money. In Surrey, the savings are pegged at about $400,000. There are also six district-wide non-instructional days scheduled in Surrey for the 2012-13 school year. School districts are required to adopt calendars for each of their schools on or before May 31 for the following school year.

Your opinion matters. That’s why we’d like to hear from you before proposing any changes. ICBC is updating the way we set premiums for Basic vehicle insurance coverage. You’ve told us the system would be fairer if lower-risk drivers paid less for their insurance and higher-risk drivers paid more. We agree.
To learn more and to add your voice, attend a public open house in a community near you or go to icbc.com. We hope to hear from you.

B.C. boosts natural gas for transport trucks Aim to reduce emissions, bolster economy by Tom Fletcher WITH LOW natural gas
prices and abundant supply, the B.C. government is ramping up efforts to promote transport truck conversion to natural gas. Energy Minister Rich Coleman announced a regulation change last Tuesday that allows natural gas utilities to offer incentives to vehicle fleet operators for switching from diesel. FortisBC, the province’s largest gas supplier, can spend up to $62 million on incentives to refit vehicles and ships and another $30.5 million on natural gas filling stations. FortisBC vice president Doug Stout said the company sees the subsidy as a good invest-
ment to get beyond “early adopters” such as Vedder Transport, which has converted its Abbotsfordbased fleet of milk trucks to LNG (liquefied natural gas). FortisBC set up an LNG filling station in the company’s yard. “The goal is to build for other fleets, spread them out so they’ll be able to go from Vancouver to Prince George to Calgary to Edmonton,” Stout said. The B.C. government is also offering a separate discount of up to $2,500 off the purchase price of qualifying compressed natural gas vehicles. Environment Minister Terry Lake said an LNG vehicle produces 20 to 30 per cent less greenhouse gas than conventional
fuels. Chilliwack-based Westport Innovations sells engine conversions and natural gas filling stations around the world. Bill Larkin, Westport’s chief financial officer, said the incentives are important now because customers are still not convinced of the fuel savings. “We’re building the new Port Mann Bridge and the South Fraser Perimeter Road to move more goods,” Larkin said. “If we can get more trucks on LNG and CNG (compressed natural gas), it reduces the cost of moving goods, reduces emissions and makes our economy more competitive.” tfletcher@blackpress.ca

A Delta mom gets serious about paring down with a challenge she deems The Stripper Project by Philip Raphael
L
ast December’s Boxing Day sales were a big test for Delta’s Diane Pearson. Could the 41-year-old single mom resist the urge to capitalize on that sure-fire, hot deal being offered in just about every store she saw in the mall? For someone who had pledged to live one year without buying any unnecessary items – while also ridding her life and home of extraneous goods – the lure of the consumer bargain-fest was a good measure of her resolve. She lasted the “shopping” trip without buying a single thing. And when the calendar rolled over to the new year, her “Stripper Project” was in full gear. “The biggest thing for me is probably to simplify everything in my world,” Pearson says. “You get to a spot where there’s a lot of stress and chaos in your life and we all do better when that’s not around us.” While she understands the concept may sound corny to some, she’s convinced that having less will simplify and reduce the stress in her life. “There’s so much excess. There’s so much stuff,” she says. “I think that’s one of the biggest downfalls in our society. I see people in that mindset of accumulate, accumulate. Spend your money. “We’ve lost the concept of what enough is.” To regain that sense of balance in her life, Pearson asked herself some simple questions as she looked around her home. “Do I need five whisks and 12 pots and pans for three of us? No, we don’t. And there’s plenty of other people who could use them. So, to the thrift store they went.” Also on the “good riddance” list were many items in the floor-to-ceiling packed front hall closet which was emptied of shoes her boys had long ago outgrown. Unneeded clothes from her closet were next. The long-term goal? Dr. Joti Samra “In nine years when I turn 50, I
“You need to stop and actually write it down – the needs and wants in your life... the longand shortterm dreams you want to achieve.”

Blogger and single mom Diane Pearson is midway through her ‘Year of the Stripper’ – a personal initiative to de-clutter her home and simplify her life.
want to travel. My kids will be 23 and 24. I want to be able to essentially walk away and not be tied down by things,” Pearson says. “I want to be able to go for a year and see the world. And this is a step in the process of getting there.” Looking back and examining what played a role in prompting the move was the passing of her mother about a year ago. Pearson was tasked with clearing out her home. “My mom, she wasn’t a hoarder, but she was on the extreme end of someone who keeps a lot of things.” It took months to go through the four-bedroom house. “I don’t want to leave that for my kids,” Pearson says. “I don’t want them to grow up thinking that’s where their value lies.” But in a society conditioned to think having more is better, are we surrendering a form of happiness if we live a minimal life? It doesn’t have to be that way, says SFU psychologist Dr. Joti Samra, co-host of OWN’s (Oprah Winfrey Network Canada) reality TV series Million Dollar Neighbourhood. “There are certain things we all need. And people can tend to confound our needs with our wants,” Samra says. “And sometimes that can be a Band-Aid solution to issues we’re not addressing.” And if getting rid of unneeded items can help provide a keener focus on improving those more meaningful issues it can indi-
rectly increase a person’s happiness, Samra adds. But when we are constantly bombarded by the latest “must haves” in our lives, how do we stay the course and live a life to the minimum? “You need to stop and actually write it down – the needs and wants in your life, given the values you have and the long- and short-term dreams you want to achieve,” Samra says. “When those are not clear in your head, it’s easy to use money for the unnecessary needs.” While a spartan existence is being sought, there will be basic things Pearson will need to acquire. But she vows to go about it differently by first sourcing second-hand goods rather than making for the closest mall for some recreational consumerism. With the “Stripper Project” passing the halfway mark, Pearson appears to be doing fine. “I want get to the point where I’m okay with things and just chill,” she says. “And that means being able to identify things that mean something to you, rather than just having a quantity of stuff.” Follow Diane Pearson on Facebook at Living Simply on Purpose and at the blog www.simplyonpurpose.blogspot.com

EACH NEW gardening season
brings with it myriad new plants. These new guys are sometimes the result of cross breeding, hybridization or the discovery of new varieties from around the world. It is also interesting to see the reintroduction of older varieties, ones that had dropped out of use but are now suddenly making a comeback as heritage plants. Many new varieties gain popularity quickly, stay on the market for a number of years, then sputter out and are seldom heard from again. I often think we have just too many varieties on the market. Have you looked at the number of tomato varieties in seed catalogues lately? Stokes Seed catalogue lists over 81 varieties this year. Who in the world is going to plant 81 varieties of tomatoes? It must be a nightmare for seed companies attempting to guess how much of each variety will be needed every year, let alone for the poor novice gardener who would be confused with a choice of six varieties. To add to the confusion, each year new introductions come out. Certainly there are regional climactic differences that affect the type of plants which thrive in a specific area. Here in southwest B.C., we must consider our climate and select varieties accordingly. Superb tomatoes can be

Try Sugary Grape for a sweet-tooth sensation. For mid-sized tomatoes, my top picks are Early Girl, Ultra Girl and First Lady. All mature in 62 to 80 days, producing delicious seven- to nine-ounce (227 grams) fruit. Fantastic Hybrid is another favourite of many gardeners. Its fruit weighs six to seven ounces (185 grams) and is produced in great abundance in about 70 days. Super Fantastic matures in about the same time, and its fruit is a little larger. A good early bird hybrid is Defiant – it’s ready in 70 days with mid-sized globe shaped fruit and firm “beefsteak” texture. Well now, it’s time to get down to the really big tomatoes. If anybody is still planting Beefsteak, may I suggest that you pray for a hot summer or move to the Okanagan. The characteristics of Beefsteak can be found in many other tomato varieties. Oregon Spring is the first big early guy in 75 to 80 days. It’s a large slicing variety that has a good, meaty Beefsteak-type flesh and should

ripen by mid-July. Of all the Boy tomatoes, Better Boy is the true hybrid Beefsteak-type. Its fruit averages around one pound, and it matures in 72 days. Big Beef and Beef Master are both Italian Beefsteak-types that have that old-fashioned Beefsteak taste and huge 20 -ounce sized fruits. Both have good disease tolerance and have won awards. Celebrity is resistant to most tomato diseases; produces 12 ounce fruit in about 70 days. The huge news in tomatoes is the blight resistant variety called Legend. It’s a very early determinate variety that produces fruit four to five inches across. This is the fifth year for this tomato in our region, and there’s been mixed reviews. Some give it high praise, while others a thumbs down. Lycopene is the healthy antioxidant in tomatoes. A variety called Healthkick has 50 percent more lycopene than any other variety. Tomatoes are heat lovers, so now that the weather has warmed up and stays warm at night, you can plant out your tomatoes. As a general rule, from the May long weekend through June is usually the ideal planting time.

Diverting organic material, which makes up 30 per cent of Metro’s waste stream, is a big plank in the region’s strategy to raise its recycling rate to 70 per cent by 2015, from 55 per cent now. Eventually, Metro is to ban food waste disposal in the garbage, requiring all residents to use their curbside option.

the storage area in the garage. Do you have an heirloom or antique? What about that old gold jewelry you’re planning to sell? Do you know its value? You may be wonderfully surprised. Bundle up that treasured item and bring it to the Surrey Antiques off the Roadshow at the Surrey Art Gallery on Saturday, June 2 between 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. All items will be given a verbal appraisal by experts Linda Devine (jewelry), Jim Finlay (fine art), and Jeff Harris (aboriginal and Inuit art, and collectibles). Be prepared to answer questions such as, “Where did the item come from?”, “How much did you pay for it?”, “Is it a family heirloom?”, and “What do you know about its history?” The cost is $10 for the first item and $5 for each additional item. This is a drop-in event; registration is not required. Observers are welcome. Parking is free. This event is sponsored by Surrey Art Gallery Association.

A roof over your head
Roofing materials aren’t just limited to cedar shakes and asphalt anymore, says Andrew McDowell of 21st Century Roofers.

There are a number of great alternatives available now to suit not just the style and location of the home but also the unique requirements of

We may be gnashing our teeth about the slow start to the good weather this year but the cycle of rain then sun over and over again is perfect for making that green stuff grow, and I don’t mean your bank account! As with every other job, the right tools make light work. The men at Foreshore Equipment and Supply had some insight about what’s going on in the world of lawnmowers, what’s new and better and how we should take care of our current equipment, new and old. Al Chrzanecki of Foreshore has some tips for a homeowner in the market for a new mower. “Buy a mower to fit your personal circumstances; if you are on a regular-size flat city lot you don’t need a rider mower, you really only need a push mower,” says Chrzanecki “Push mowers are somewhat different than we remember from our father and grandfather’s day. Some of them will have bushings in the wheels so you will get longevity and it will push easier because they are a little smaller at 20 inches, which is perfect for the small lot.” Chrzanecki says gas mowers have also changed over the years. “The manufacturers have changed the design of the

Renovating on a budget With a modest budget and a lot of determination, Laura Lee and Jacqueline turned their drafty little pre-war bungalow into a warm and cosy retreat. They learned how to insulate and make other energy efficiency upgrades. And, they’ve proven you don’t have to spend a lot to save a lot. “You can spend less than $50 on a tube of window caulk, a roll of weatherstripping and a window film kit and significantly change the comfort of your home,� says Jacqueline.

Meet Michele. She’s a FortisBC customer who believes in conservation and reducing greenhouse gases. She drives a fuel-efficient car, grows her own vegetables, and turns down the heat whenever she can. And now, she’s a FortisBC renewable natural gas customer.
“It’s an easy thing I can do to be a little bit more green. I’m helping to reduce greenhouse gases, and it’s terrific to get a reward for it too.� Michele, Mission, renewable natural gas customer
Renewable natural gas is natural gas‌but better Instead of coming from the ground, methane gas comes from organic waste found at local landfills and farms. Before it escapes into the atmosphere as a harmful greenhouse gas, it’s captured and cleaned up. Then, FortisBC adds it into their pipelines, giving British Columbians renewable energy.
How it works
Carbon neutral
For about $5 a month, you can designate 10 per cent of your natural gas usage as renewable. FortisBC will then inject an equivalent amount of renewable natural gas into their system.
FortisBC’s renewable natural gas has been designated as carbon neutral in B.C. by Offsetters (Canada’s leading provider of carbon management solutions). Customers who sign up receive a 10 per cent credit on the B.C. carbon tax.

Many changes in rooďŹ ng “ from page.1 each individual roof. Andrew McDowell of 21st Century Roofers Ltd. is a second generation roofer; you might say it’s in his blood. The company, started by his dad in 1978 and taken over by McDowell four years ago, has grown from a small four-person business to twelve highly trained professionals. “There have been lots of changes over the years; for instance on a low-slope roof we used to build it up with felt, tar and a gravel finish. Today we can provide a modern high-performance alternative,â€? McDowell says. “We are very careful about using new products, some of which haven’t been around very long. Our company will only use proven materials and technology and which has a good warranty behind them. Some of the new materials have been around for ten years or less so we don’t know how they will perform over the expected life of the roof. Another thing to understand is some of the new materials don’t have CSA approval from the Canadian government.â€? He cites the example of a wood fibre product that definitely didn’t work. “In the 1990s there was a new roofing product
PRODUCTS â?ąâ?ą QUALIFIED TRADES â?ąâ?ą EXPERT ADVICE â?ąâ?ą
made of wood fibre in cement; it failed miserably. As we know cement is porous, as is wood fibre. This product may have been fine in Arizona but not in our climate and a lot of home owners suffered with roofs that caved in from the weight.� Metal roofs are growing in popularity. There are different types: metal shingles, metal cladding and barn profile. 21st Century uses steel metal cladding because McDowell feels the hidden system makes it much more water-tight. For most of us he says, a new roof is not a rewarding purchase that you can look at like a new television or sofa; it’s utilitarian. But not much else matters if on a dark and stormy night you hear the sound of water dripping onto your dining room table. Do your due diligence, check references, check to see if there is a string of complaints filed against the company and make sure you get the proper warranties. It also pays to check that the company is a member of an association like the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association which requires members to carry a minimum of $5 million in liability insurance, and is current with WorkSafe BC. Also, check to see if the company you hire subcontracts out. If they do you just don’t know who you are getting.
Andrew McDowell of 21st Century Roofers urges homeowners to do their due diligence before choosing a contractor, since there’s nothing more heartstopping than hearing water dripping onto your table during a rain storm.

Tending to the neglected areas of the home By Maggie Calloway After what seems like a long fall and winter with its wood fires, mud and dust, the pull to shrug off the heavy burden of cold weather by throwing open doors and windows is irresistible. The problem is the winter takes a toll on your home, both inside and out. It may be old-fashioned to schedule a spring cleaning but it can be quite cathartic to scrub down windows, wash curtains and hang them back up fresh and clean, and generally give the whole house a deep clean. Like anything else worth doing, there is a method to doing a thorough job cleaning a house so it was time to turn to the experts, Molly Maid. The good folks at Molly Maid have refined cleaning to a fine art and that is certainly true of Vancouver’s Michele Yonge. “There are a couple of things we advise people do before they deep clean; one is getting into closets and packing away winter stuff and hanging spring and summer clothes ... not forgetting to wipe down shelves as you go,” Yonge says. “Next, cleaning windows and washing or drycleaning drapes and curtains makes a huge difference. We recommend people wash the outside (of the) windows first because if you wash the inside first you don’t get the same bang! Don’t forget to clean the curtain tracks and window frames as you go. Use the tools that help get the job done; a dry, clean paint brush for instance is terrific for getting dust out of corners. One of the handiest things to use is microfibre cloths, (which are) great to clean wooden blinds ... plus can be thrown in the washer. Feeling the sun
The folks at Molly Maid have some tips for doing a thorough spring cleaning, including drycleaning the drapes, de-cluttering every flat surface and tidying up the kitchen. Submitted photos

shining through clean windows gives you great incentive to keep going.” A big thing is to declutter the whole house. Look at everything on counters, dressers and any surface where things tend to land. Sometimes we are so used to something cluttering the house we cease to see it. If you are not using or wearing something, get rid of it. You deserve to live in a space where you can breathe, with sun pouring through windows and clean surfaces. “We recommend people do three or four deep cleanings a year depending on your home and family,” Yonge says. “Laundry rooms are another place to get organized this time of year. Instead of soiled laundry piled together, get (a basket) for whites (and) one for darks ... it makes it so much easier. Once the clothes are washed placing them in a designated colourcoded basket for each family member keeps the room organized. Master bedrooms are great to dig into this time of year because they are often the place where things are dropped (and are) probably the most neglected room in the house. A final hint would be to put together a cleaning caddy with all the tools you need at hand; it really helps motivation when you don’t have to go digging around under the sink.”

Fencing has come a long way from plain chain-link By Maggie Calloway Is there any other single product that does as many jobs as fencing? It protects your children from the traffic and drowning in the swimming pool, protects your veggie garden from marauding animals (dream on!) and separates your property from your neighbours, among many other things. Not only are there dozens of reasons for installing a fence, there are also dozens of types and styles to choose from. We all drool over photos of the thriving vegetable and flower garden surrounded by a whimsical fence and gate complete with roses, but this is not what we are about today. We want to see what’s available in robust but stylish metal fencing that will do the job, is very low maintenance, and will enhance the curb appeal of your home. Not a lot to ask is it? Not according to Ken Scherk of Steelguard Fence Ltd. “My very first advice to any home owner with a pool who wants to fence is to check with their local municipality bylaw; each municipality requirements are different,” says Scherk. “Usually when you request a permit for a pool they will have specs for fencing. Keep in mind these specs are for the
minimum required but we can tell them what it will take to keep the family safe.” Have you noticed the black metal fencing appearing over the last few years? It used to be a chain-link fence was either a natural steel or white and pretty industrial in appearance. Now there are different types of chain-link fencing available that you can place anywhere. The black chain-link almost disappears into the background. The other great thing about the new black fencing is that it is almost maintenance-free, it doesn’t show dirt unlike white or natural, and once installed it will last almost forever, since a hose or the rain will wash off any dirt. The wire on a chain-link fence is coated with PVC with a UV rating which will stand up to ultra-violet light for decades. The posts are galvanized pipe over which there is a powder-coated finish, the same type of finish There are many types of fencing available for every type of project, from a modern on a barbeque, so it will last for decades. metal railing, above, to new black chain-link, below.

Retaining the natural beauty of a stone wall By Maggie Calloway Here’s a skill testing question for you: what was built starting in AD 122 by the Romans as a defensive fortification, is 122 kilometres long, and still has a significant portion existing today? Hadrian’s Wall, which was made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987. It was made of stones and is built entirely in England, not on the border with Scotland as is frequently stated. The wall was the most heavily fortified border in the Roman Empire, and is now the most popular tourist destination in northern Europe. It’s been described as the most important monument built by the Romans in Britain by England’s heritage association. What other building material would still be standing almost 2,000 years other than the most natural of material? As Ronald Hernandez, owner of Cabana Masonry, says, “Building with masonry is a timeless art form that goes back to the great Egyptian pyramids, Greek temples There are many reasons to install a stone retaining wall, from and Roman cities. Many of these structures are the purely aesthetic to keeping your sloping terraced garden in check or building a beautiful patio. still standing today.

Dedicating a room to the art of washing clothes not unusual By Maggie Calloway Remember when the washer and dryer were automatically banished to a dark corner of the basement? Well, no more! Laundry rooms are now not just any room, but a designed room. Doing laundry is now an experience, with top-end appliances, drying racks, linen storage, granite counters and marble backsplashes. I must admit I approve of this metamorphosis; doing laundry was always such a grim but necessary chore. Having the right tools to do a great job applies to this job as well as any other, and a dedicated room fully kitted out is a wonderful thing. So what makes not just a stylish room but one that works well? Looks are important but not as important as workability. Think through the process: where are the soiled clothes stored? If you have side-by-side appliances make sure the doors open the right way; you don’t want to be loading the dryer over the door of the washer. Each should open in the opposite direction so a clear inner space is formed. Shelving for laundry soap, bleach and such should be above the washer and dryer but high enough to allow you to use the top of each appliance as counter space if you are in a small room. And let’s not forget the ironing board; you need enough space to comfortably put up the board and an installed rod to hang up finished items. This rod is also great for drying hand-washed delicates. Interior designer Marlene Bourque of High Design works with John Friswell of CCI Renovations on many of his projects including laundry rooms. “This last laundry room we worked on was originally an office on the main floor of the home. We had room here to put the washer, dryer and sink, etc. on one side of the room
Laundry rooms are no longer hidden corners of the house where you dread visiting. Now, thanks to new innovations in design, it’s easy to drop in a load of laundry and get on with your day. Submitted photos
and a linen closet on the other which left lots of room for an ironing board,” says Bourque. “This is a family with young children so having the laundry room on the main floor made great sense. Having lots of storage in a laundry room is a great luxury.” If your laundry room is small, installing closed upper cabinets could feel confining. Think about open shelving with attractive baskets.

environmental way. Steal an idea from the garage and install a wall-mounted storage system; it gets everything up off the floor and, done properly, can look quite chic. One thing I love in a laundry room is a very deep sink, again just like the old days, in which you can do many things, from leaving items to soak to washing the dog. This is one room in the house where you can go a little wild with great coloured walls, maybe some wallpaper and let’s not forget a T.V. to help with the ironing. Why not?

Pushing a mower could be an exercise regimen in itself “ from page.1 carburetion systems so they are much easier to start. You can now push a button to prime and the fuel is available immediately to the combustion chamber, no more pulling and pulling hoping the engine will catch,� he says. “In my opinion they have designed the system so they will start almost immediately and are much cleaner burning.� If you have a larger property or a property that has a sloping lawn, a self-propelled gas mower is the way to go unless you want to fold pushing a lawnmower into your exercise program. Like all things in life, as Chrzanecki says, there is good, better and best and the world of lawnmowers is no different. “You have your basic steel deck push mower; a little better unit would still be a gas mower, still with a steel deck but may be self-propelled and mulch, which is a good thing; mulching is good for your lawn. As you get up the scale you get to a Toro model which they call a super mulcher. It’s an aluminum deck so the deck will not rot; it’s a 25-year machine if looked after.� Once you have sorted out what you need in the way of a mower, you need to take care of it if you want it to last and perform at the top of its game. Dana Nicholson, the fulltime mechanic at Foreshore, has 25 years experience with lawnmowers of every stripe. “My advice to everyone with a mower is to really watch which fuel they use and how they use it. The fuel we have from the pump has a very short shelf life; just a few weeks before it starts to break down. I recommend, as most people will have to buy fuel from a gas station, (buying) premium fuel with no ethanol and only buy a gallon at a time,� says Nicholson. “I know it’s inconvenient but unlike fuel in our cars which gets used up quickly, gas sits in a lawnmower for weeks and sometimes months. If possible, buy Aspen fuel from a store specializing in lawnmowers or power tools; this fuel is refined down so far it is very clean burning with a long shelf life. The other piece of advice is to keep the blades sharp and clean. Look after the mower and it will do a good job for you.�
Al Chrzanecki, above, of Foreshore Equipment and Supply is a fan of the new gas mowers. Dana Nicholson, right, has been fixing lawnmowers for 25 years, and says his top tip is to watch what kind of fuel you use. Martin Knowles photos

Making over a North Vancouver house to turn it into a modern, family-friendly paradise By Maggie Calloway As we so often find, here is a family who loves their North Shore neighbourhood but the house, approximately fifty years old with one partial renovation in the 1990s, was tired. Enter Kennedy Crawford Design of North Vancouver who designed the project, specifically Catherine Brown, who worked with the family very closely during both the design and building process. David Adair of Blackfish Homes and Construction, also based in North Vancouver, was brought into the project to do the actual build. “This is a family of four who enjoyed their home but the whole main floor needed a major renovation to bring it up to today’s standards,” says Adair. “We virtually pulled apart the whole main floor. The original main floor consisted of much the same rooms in the same place. They had a pretty big garage with a small flex space; they weren’t really using this space so we took over a section of the garage and extended it to make a mudroom entry. In the family room we pushed the back wall, the TV wall, back right to the exterior wall to create the space we needed.” The original flooring was a mixture of tile, vinyl and carpet; this was unified throughout most of the rooms with hardwood, which made a huge difference. Vinyl tile was used in the new powder room and mudroom. “In the formal living room the floor was leveled to match of the rest of the area. The fireplace is original but the hearth and pedestal had to be adjusted to the new level of the floor,” Adair says. “The rest of it was just freshening up with new wall colour, addition of wallpaper, new ceiling fan and lighting. The dining room had a French door from the hallway so we opened everything up to make the flow better. We brought the new flooring through and again just freshened everything up with new wall colour, wallpaper, lighting.” The powder room is a good size, but it was gutted and the flooring once again brought through. The new modern vanity and toilet match the new style; there are no jarring accents just a smooth flow to all the rooms including this one. The kitchen and family room is perfect for this family. This is definitely the heart of the home where everyone spends their time. “We really enjoyed this whole project. The family was excellent to work with,” Brown says. “Our client had a very good handle on what she wanted to achieve, particularly regarding the kitchen. She knew very clearly how she wanted to function in that space and how she wanted it to work for her family, then left it to us to bring it to life, giving feedback as the project proceeded.” This kitchen is one of Brown’s favourites. “This is a very large space. You can make spaces look too modern so we like to bring in pieces to soften them, give them more warmth; the barn door was part of bringing in interest,” Brown says. “We really like to find unique pieces; the island is an example of this. We had the design in our mind then had to go and find the right piece with a little bit of the traditional about it. The beautiful stone on the island is a real stand out with the distinctive lines. The funny thing is we had that exact pattern in our original drawings so it was great to find the exact match. We used Caesarstone on the surrounding counters and the backsplash above the stove is a mosaic white marble which adds a bit of an interesting accent. The stove is Fisher & Pykel, the jewel of the kitchen.” Brown says the client was good about communicating her master plan for the kitchen and how she wanted to use the space, which made her job easier. “Every bit of the kitchen and family room, from the wall of storage cupboards with so much detail in the cabinetry, to the fabric chosen, to the colour of the stone, it all had to work together. We have an eye for detail right down to the hardware on the barn door to the faucets, the tile, every single detail is gone through so there are no jarring notes and everything flows,” she says. I must say I love the barn door in the kitchen. I’ve seen them used before but often the room just can’t carry the size and heft but in this instance, with such a large space, it makes sense and looks spectacular. There is no doubt the success of this project is in how the family uses the whole space.
The new kitchen, above, features a mosaic white marble tile backsplash and Caesarstone countertops. The homeowners were intimately involved in the whole process of choosing a design for their home, from deciding on storage spaces to choosing the colour of the stone. The bathroom, left, now includes a modern vanity and toilet, in addition to new flooring and a sleek, modern sink. Martin Knowles photos
The new living room includes the original fireplace, above. The hearth and pedestal were adjusted to match the new height of the flooring, and wallpaper was added to freshen up the room. The new eating area in the kitchen, below, features a beautiful view outside and complements the new backsplash and countertops. Martin Knowles photos
The family room is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Directly off the kitchen, the back wall was pushed back to open up the space and allow for more room. The television is now mounted on the wall and smart storage solutions appear all over the house. Martin Knowles photo

Brightening up your life with heritage paint By Maggie Calloway There is no getting around it, painting the exterior of your home is a big job whether you decide to tackle it yourself or hire a contractor. We have all heard of curb appeal, and the quality of the paint job, the colours you choose and where you put each colour can make the difference between a stunning exterior and one that just doesn’t work. If you decide to paint it yourself, know that preparation is 80 per cent of the job. Tedious as it may be, taking the time to prep means your house will look great and the job will last. Make sure the wood is dry. In our climate it pays to wait until we have enjoyed a long string of sunny days, as painting over wet wood creates a world of problems, not the least of which is the new paint forming blisters. If you are painting over old paint, scrape off flakes with a wire brush and clean the surface. If there are bare patches, prime before painting. Check to see what kind of paint was used previously then take advice from the paint store about which paint to use. Buy the best paint you can afford; this is not the time to be frugal. You want your home to look fantastic now and for years to come. Is there an art in picking paint colours? Heidi Nyline of Warline Painting certainly believes so. “We have been fortunate to be hired to paint the exteriors of the ‘Painted Ladies’, the four heritage houses on West 10th (in Vancouver) and you can imagine how jarring it would be to get the colour balance wrong,� she says. “The colours are very bright and different on each house; they really make a statement.� We have all agonized over paint colours, especially for the exterior. It’s not like making a colour mistake in the dining room which can be remedied in a day. Nyline says the problem is people are trying to make colour choices from a two- by two-inch paint chip,
which is impossible. “You stand in a paint store and stare at thousands of colours, how are you supposed to put colours together?� Nyline says. “First, take note of everything you can’t change; the roof colour and the colour of the stonework, the colour or your window trim if they are vinyl, etc. Next, (look at) the natural surroundings. If you have a ton of trees around the house that green foliage will impact how colour looks on your house. For instance, if you use paint with a red undertone on a north-facing house with lots of trees, in a certain light the house will have a slightly pink look to it. You have to paint large five-feet by five-feet samples of your preferred colour range on (a) board to get the proper impact of that colour on your house.� The moral of this story is take time. Time to do proper prep work, time to properly chose appropriate colours, time to do the best job possible, or hire someone who cares enough to do the same.
Heidi Nyline of Warline Painting believes that there is an art to choosing paint colours, whether they’re for Vancouver’s “Painted Ladies�, left and below, or for a suburban home in need of a new look, below left. Submitted photos
