Kickboxing school still under fire Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

A North Burnaby kickboxing school still hasn’t paid fines or issued refunds months after being ordered to do so by Consumer Protection BC (CPBC). The City of Burnaby is now also investigating complaints against the school. Meanwhile, the complaints

continue to pile up. KFitness Burnaby, which also does business as Sport Kickboxing Academy, is located at 4715 Hastings St. CPBC issued a compliance order in March stating the school failed to issue refunds to two customers within 15 days of being notified they were cancelling their contracts. It also entered into verbal contracts and written contracts that didn’t provide the required information, both violations of the B.C. law governing such contracts.

It ordered the school to pay $4,700 in refunds and penalties. As reported in the NewsLeader at the time, KFitness owner Arleo Dordar, 27, said he paid out the refunds of almost $2,200 but planned to appeal the penalties, calling the process unfair. But as of this week, Consumer Protection BC says no fines have yet been paid nor have any refunds been issued. It filed compliance orders in B.C. Supreme Court last week. After the CBC aired a story

recently on complaints against the school, another 10 former clients came forward with allegations over being refused refunds, overbilling and contract disputes. Burnaby resident Niko Chan, 22, told the NewsLeader he was a member at the school for two years before he was hired as an assistant instructor. He said he didn’t have an employment contract but was to be paid cash. Please see CITY CAN CANCEL BUSINESS LICENCE, A3

A Burnaby man is being sought by RCMP after becoming the first person charged under a section of Canada’s new anti-terrorism laws. Hasibullah Yusufzai, 25, was charged July 17 by the RCMP Integrated National Security Enforcement Team with leaving Canada to take part in terrorist activity, according to an RCMP press release. Yusufzai is alleged to have left the country on Jan. 21, 2014 to “commit an offence for the benefit of, at the direction of or in association with a terrorist group.” RCMP say he is “known to have travelled to Syria to join Islamist fighters.” As it is an ongoing investigation, RCMP would not comment further other than it is working actively with its international partners. This is the first charge under Section 83.201 of the Criminal Code, a new tool for police to fight terrorism, which came into effect in July 2013. It is now a crime to leave or attempt to leave the country to participate in terrorist activity. “This investigation underscores the reality that there are individuals leaving Canada to take part in terrorist activity,” said the RCMP’s Assistant Commissioner James Malizia. wchow@ burnabynewsleaader.com

Toronto Raptors to hold local practices

The Toronto Raptors will be returning to Vancouver for part of its upcoming training camp, drawn partly by the facilities at Burnaby’s Fortius Sports & Health, the NBA team announced Wednesday. Head coach Dwane Casey and the team will start its camp in Toronto, Sept. 29 to Oct. 2, before heading west. It also held its 2010 training camp in Vancouver. “We look forward to returning to Vancouver and taking advantage of the great facilities at Fortius Sports & Health,” said Casey in a press release. “As Canada’s team we feel this trip will build on momentum gained from last season’s playoff appearance and the launch Nick Nurse, assistant coach of the Toronto Raptors, was in Burnaby on Wednesday to announce that his team would hold some of its training of our We the North camp this October in Vancouver, drawn in part by the facilities at Fortius Sports & Health in Burnaby. campaign.”

Craig Thompson, president and CEO of Fortius Sport & Health, noted its facility provides all the team needs in one place. “Being able to offer a one stop shop for high performance training camps is something we pride ourselves on. Teams can stay here, train here, rehab here and much more.” The Raptors will hold practices Oct. 3 and 4 at the Fortius facility on Kensington Avenue, across from Bill Copeland Arena. But the sessions will be closed to the public. The team will open its pre-season with a game at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena against the Sacramento Kings on Oct. 5.

City can cancel business licence for ‘cause’ ⫸

After his first week of work, Dordar told him that time had been an unpaid training period. He was told the same thing after he’d worked for three weeks. Chan said he then quit, about a month ago, and is owed $300 in wages. But more costly was his prepayment of one year’s worth of membership fees, something he said he did after Dordar convinced him it would save him money. Those fees were supposed to

cover the year starting August 2014 but Dordar refused to refund it when Chan quit the school. Chan, a BCIT student, has since filed a complaint with Consumer Protection BC and Burnaby city hall. Consumer Protection BC says under B.C. law contracts for continuing services, such as those for fitness centres or martial arts schools, must be in writing. And consumers have a right to get refunds under certain circumstances. Those rights must be stated in

the written contracts. It confirmed it has since received an additional complaint about the school. CPBC noted that its compliance order filed in court can be used to support any action in small claims court that consumers may want to take. It stressed it is only responsible for regulating fitness contracts and does not have the authority to revoke such schools’ business licences. Burnaby city hall, however, does. In the last week, the city has

received two complaints about the kickboxing school and “we are looking into it,” said Burnaby’s chief licence inspector Dan Layng. While he could not comment on this particular case, Layng said under the Community Charter the city has the power to suspend or cancel a business licence for “reasonable cause.” In the past, Burnaby has done so for reasons including continued bylaw violations and a business having “detrimental effects on the community at large.”

But such action is taken “very rarely,” Layng stressed. “Our preferred method, whenever we have an issue with any business, property, etc., is to work with the property owner or business owner and try to reach voluntary compliance and resolve the issue before we take any action.” Arleo Dordar did not respond to an email and phone message seeking comment before the NewsLeader’s deadline.

Developer has Southgate site secured despite dairy plant sale Seeks rezoning for site master plan Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

The recent sale of the Safeway milk plant in South Burnaby to a dairy company will have no impact on the proposed Southgate project, says its developer. In fact, at the moment, Ledingham McAllister still owns the plant site, said its president and CEO, Ward McAllister. Agropur Cooperative of Quebec announced earlier this month it purchased the Burnaby plant as part of a $356-million transaction with Sobeys that also includes two plants in Edmonton and one in Winnipeg. That sale still requires regulatory approvals before it’s finalized, something that is expected to happen in August, said Agropur spokesperson Marc Labelle earlier this month. The Burnaby plant employs abut 70 people. The 48-acre Southgate community is being planned that would include the former Safeway distribution centre lands, bounded by 11th and 14th avenues and 15th and 18th streets near the New Westminster border, the dairy plant and two city-owned properties at 7701 and 7679 18th St. McAllister explained that when his company bought the

Briefs Man stabbed A Burnaby man has been arrested after a stabbing incident in the Edmonds area Tuesday night, say Burnaby RCMP. The victim and suspect know each other, police say. A man was visiting a home in the 7100-block of 17th Avenue at about 10:15 p.m. when a dispute took place and he was stabbed. The victim, also a Burnaby resident, left the home and called 911 from a pharmacy in the 4800-block of Kingsway. Burnaby RCMP arrested the suspect back at his home on 17th Avenue. He was being held in custody while awaiting a court appearance Wednesday. The victim was treated in hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

infrastructure of the physical plant would cost about $75 million to relocate. “They’re choosing not to move at this point, but in future they most likely will. And we’re planning around that,” McAllister said. “But I may be alive, I may be in diapers or I may be dead … I don’t know when they’re going to move. But they won’t be there forever.” In the meantime it will likely take about 20 years to build out the Southgate community if all goes as planned. Following a June open Wanda ChoW/neWsleader house on its concept plan, Both the developer of the Southgate project and city hall expect the housing project Ledingham McAllister would have to coexist for a time with the milk plant.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: This shot was taken by Chris Parlow the evening of July 16 along the Fraser River in Burnaby. It shows a beaver nudging her kit along as they cross the road, dutifully sticking to the marked crosswalk.

No rush to judgment A man described as well respected in his community now faces a second-degree murder charge after his severely injured wife was taken off life support Sunday. Baldev Singh Kalsi, highly regarded in Surrey’s Sikh community and former president of the Gurdwara Sahib Brookside temple – until the charges against him – is in custody. The 66-year-old was arrested just over a week ago at a home in South Surrey, where police found his wife, Narinder Kaur Kalsi, in severe medical distress. For those who have only received the bare facts from news reports, questions surely abound about the death of a woman remembered as a kindly mother and grandmother. As a society, we grapple for understanding, not simply out of human curiosity, but also a desire to learn. The new president of the temple subsequently issued a statement condemning “all kinds of violence.” The World Sikh Organization of Canada has offered counselling, saying that violence against women is an issue the South Asian community, including Sikhs, must address. Was this, we must ask, an incident that could have been anticipated, perhaps prevented? Tragedies of this nature emphasize the contradictory nature of life; the sense that appearances are deceptive, and that unknown undercurrents run below what we accept as a placid surface of normality. There are details of the lives of each of us that are, and should remain, private – but dire circumstances sometimes force some of them into the spotlight, out of necessity. Yet without key information, none of us should rush to judge each other, or create a pat summary for the evident contradictions and complexities. Judgment, in this case, is now in the hands of the justice system – and we can only hope that justice is ultimately served. —Peace Arch News

TV, and the lazy days of summer The telly, the boob tube, the idiot box. Call it what you will, it’s consumed way too much of my time in recent months. I’m ashamed to admit that, lately, entire evenings that would have been better spent walking in a park or with my nose buried in a book have somehow melted away in what feels like minutes. Despite the recent stretch of beautiful weather, between the TV and my laptop, I confess I often find it next to impossible to pull my gaze from the magnetism of a glowing screen. It’s sheer laziness, and not at all conducive to good health—I recognize this. The worst part is, it’s not at all how my brother and I were raised. Growing up in Port Hardy and Pouce Coupe (near Dawson Creek) we certainly didn’t spend hours sitting, slack-jawed and glassy-eyed, in front of the TV. We were too busy running around in the woods behind our house, building ‘log cabins’ that never actually made it past our knees, and racing down homemade ziplines which, in

Brenda Anderson hindsight, probably weren’t the safest. But then safety wasn’t our chief concern, with the wind whipping our shaggy 1970s hairdos in our faces. In Port Hardy, especially, there were regular neighbourhood games of kick-the-can, road hockey matches and long afternoons spent combing the beach for whatever new treasure the tide had washed ashore. And if there was somewhere we wanted to go, we usually got there under our own steam, on bicycles with tires that barely had time to cool off between rides. Up north in the winter, a 30-second thrill ride down the local toboggan run came at the price of a long, strenuous hike back up, hindered by a puffy ski jacket, freezing wet jeans and ungainly moon boots.

By the end of the day, we were usually too wiped to watch much TV. Today, the great outdoors has far more to compete with than it did when we were kids. Television on northern Vancouver Island in the ’70s, offered the CBC and, after a certain point, a test pattern. So, on a given night, if you weren’t watching the Wonderful World of Disney, Hockey Night in Canada (when dad commandeered the house’s lone set) or the Donny & Marie show, you were probably looking at a screen of coloured bars accompanied by an annoying high-pitched tone. In the ’80s our world expanded exponentially, with the introduction of cable and the awesomeness that was MTV. And we’d eagerly anticipate the start of the new fall season after an agonizing summer spent waiting for last spring’s cliffhanger to be resolved. Were we ever going to find out who shot J.R.? By contrast, today’s shows run year-round, with many scheduled

specifically to air fresh episodes during those previously dry summer months. And, of course, programming now goes round the clock on 200 channels. It’s not all good, but it’s readily available. Add to that online gaming, smartphones and tablets, and today’s kids stand a slim chance of enjoying an active childhood. Forty years ago, ParticipACTION was already telling us—on television, where else?—that the average 30-yearold Canadian was in worse shape than a 60-year-old Swede. It’s scary to think how we’d stand up to that test today. In the face of such an uphill battle—the kind that would no doubt leave me gasping for breath on the sidelines—what is there to do but try to set a better example? Perhaps it’s time to put down the remote and walk away. Five kilometres or so should do the trick. Brenda Anderson is a reporter with the Langley Times.

Second SkyTrain shutdown blamed on human error

Feel good. Live longer. Start your good life today.

no money down

More riders abandoned trains, lengthening service delay Jeff Nagel

no enrolment nrolment

Black Press

TransLink says an error by an electrician working on the Evergreen Line triggered Monday’s five-hour shutdown of the SkyTrain system and passengers will be offered a free day of transit use on B.C. Day. The technician was installing a new circuit breaker at a power distribution panel for the new SkyTrain line to Coquitlam when he accidentally tripped the main breaker feeding critical systems at SkyTrain’s operations centre, TransLink chief operating officer Doug Kelsey said. “Two major disruptions in one week is unprecedented, and the two incidents are completely unrelated,” Kelsey said. The electrician has been suspended and TransLink continues to review what went wrong. Some area mayors are also pressing for an independent review. Asked how a free transit day on Aug. 4 will help passengers who buy a monthly pass, Kelsey said the aim is to let regular riders bring family and friends on a holiday outing via transit for free. “We really apologize for what happened,” he said. “We want to share our customer appreciation with more than just the riders because others were indirectly affected.” Monday’s shutdown was the second in less than a week that led SkyTrain passengers to pry open train doors and walk away along the tracks. The complete halt of trains on the Expo and Millennium Lines started around 12:30 Monday and the shutdown lasted nearly five hours until service was restarted on both lines. Canada Line service was unaffected. It followed last Thursday’s rush hour service shutdown after a computer malfunction that also stranded thousands of passengers for hours. Despite pleas from TransLink to stay in SkyTrain cars due to safety risks, numerous riders once again made their own exit, sometimes stopping to take photos and share them on social media. Transit Police spokesperson Anne Drennan said “dozens” of riders left trains and walked along guideways unescorted Monday – many more than last

Passengers walk along guideway after exiting a stalled SkyTrain Monday afternoon.

Thursday – while others were escorted out by attendants. She said the presence of passengers on guideways again caused the shutdown to last longer than if passengers had followed instructions, stayed on board and enabled the trains to move sooner. Drennan admitted there’s little that can be done to block illegal exits – she said issuing tickets would “add insult to injury” – so the focus will be educating people about the danger. “The electrical charge on the line can be there for quite some time after a shutdown such as this and people do risk being electrocuted if they touch the wrong part of the track,” she said. “We completely understand the high level of frustration and the fear and panic people are experiencing but we ask people to recognize the danger and be as patient as they can be.” Prying doors open in several trains meant they wouldn’t close later and then attendants couldn’t manually drive them back to stations, Drennan added. “Staff and equipment had to go out and repair the doors to the point they could actually close and the trains could be moved. That created further delays.” Officials estimate service would have been restored 90

minutes to two hours sooner had doors not been forced. TransLink advised SkyTrain commuters early in the afternoon shutdown to make other transportation arrangements during rush hour. But the challenges were compounded because the electrical failure that halted trains also prevented audio communication with passengers in SkyTrain cars and platforms. “I think that frightened a lot of people,” said Drennan, who advised passengers in future shutdowns without announcements to seek updates via smartphone and then relay them to other passengers in the same train. Unlike Monday, last Thursday’s system delay was blamed on a computer glitch. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts wants to know whether TransLink will pursue a backup control system for SkyTrain. “The last couple of shutdowns have really impacted the residents South of the Fraser,” Watts said. “When you are dealing with that number of people on the system who cannot get to their work or cannot get to their children, it’s very problematic.” But Kelsey said it would be “exceptionally expensive” – at least $30 million – and difficult to justify installing a backup control system that might only rarely be used.

The second tower in the proposed redevelopment of Brentwood mall will go to public hearing next month. Shape Properties Corp. is proposing to build a 53-storey highrise on top of a three-storey commercial podium. The podium will include new retail space located around a civic plaza connected to the SkyTrain station. It was approved by council earlier this year, as was another 53-storey tower to be located atop the podium at the corner of Willingdon Avenue and Halifax Street. The 288 units available for sale in that building sold out within hours last month after some buyers camped out for days in tents. The second tower will be located at the corner of Alpha Avenue and Lougheed Highway. As in the first highrise, 300 of the 591 apartments will be rental units to be owned and operated by Shape and its funding partners. The first 25 floors will be for the rental units while the strata units will be in the upper 27 storeys. There will be two complete and separate lobbies, each with their own elevators, concierge services, seating areas and mail rooms. The rental lobby will front onto Lougheed and the strata lobby onto Alpha. The proposed rental units will range in size from 539

to 911 square feet and are to comprise 125 one-bedrooms, 75 one-bedroom-plus-dens, 75 twobedrooms and 25 two-bedroomplus-dens. At Monday’s council meeting Coun. Pietro Calendino questioned the reduced amount of parking designated for the use of rental unit tenants. The developer had provided a study that determined the demand from rental units for dedicated parking is half that of strata units. Planning director Lou Pelletier explained that all the parking typically required for a project this size will be built. But part of it will be designated initially for use by the customers and staff of the commercial spaces. If more tenants than expected request parking it will come from those surplus commercial spaces, Pelletier said. Mayor Derek Corrigan noted that underground parking spaces can cost $40,000 to $50,000 each to build so the plan is a compromise to encourage the development

of much-needed new rental housing close to transit. “I think there’s a generation that’s coming that’s going to look at a car as an unnecessary expense in situations like this and there is going to be a reduction [in demand for parking].” Corrigan added that it will be market rental housing, not subsidized social housing. The Brentwood Site Conceptual Master Plan approved by council last year for the 28-acre site allows towers up to 70 storeys tall, said a city staff report. If the rezoning is approved by council, the developer will contribute $4.56 million to the city in exchange for bonus density. Of that, 80 per cent will fund future amenities in the Brentwood area while 20 per cent will go into a city-wide, affordable or special-needs housing account. The public hearing will be held Tuesday, Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. in city hall council chambers. twitter.com/WandaChow

Bus shuffling helps TransLink carry more riders Surrey gained, other cities lost service from ‘optimization’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Surrey area has been the big beneficiary of TransLink’s strategy of shuffling bus service to carry more people with the transportation authority’s limited resources. Richmond and Maple Ridge, on the other hand, saw a net decrease in bus service between 2010 and 2013, according to a new TransLink report on bus system performance. It concludes TransLink is reaping gains from its ongoing service optimization initiative, which culls service hours from some routes or times where buses are underused and bolsters service in areas where overcrowded buses routinely pass up waiting passengers, or where more buses could attract new riders. Over the three-year period, the South of Fraser bus routes were allocated 11 per cent more service hours, while the North Shore got an extra 8.9 per cent. Richmond, however, was reduced by 3.9 per cent and Maple Ridge/ Pitt Meadows bus service was cut 2.3 per cent. Changes were minimal elsewhere in the region. Bus ridership increased in all parts of the region except Burnaby between 2010 and 2013, with gains of two per cent in Vancouver, the North Shore and the Tri-Cities, 10 per cent in Richmond, 11 per cent in Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows, 15 per cent South of the Fraser (Surrey, White Rock, Langley, North Delta) and a 21 per cent increase in South Delta. Overall, it means TransLink is moving about three per cent more people by bus with largely the same

resources as 2010 – an extra eight million trips per year. “We’re pleased with the results,” said TransLink’s Jeff Busby. “We’re trying to do the best we can with the resources we have.” Busby said the cut in Richmond bus service was because many residents began using the Canada Line after it opened in 2010. The report says the strategy has eased crowding on routes like the 25, 41, and 99 B-Line in Vancouver, the 319 in Surrey, 106 in Burnaby/New West and the 410 in Richmond. It also allowed the launch of new routes such as the 188 along Coast Meridian and David Avenue in the Tri-Cities and extending the 335 in Surrey to Newton along 72 Avenue. Some new money was invested in Surrey and Langley, beyond reallocated hours taken from other parts of the region, to launch the new 555 express bus from Langley over the Port Mann Bridge and the new King George B-Line. Busby said some gains have come from making bus schedules more efficent, with better route designs that reduce the time to get to and from depots. He said there’s been significant growth in ridership at off-peak times and weekends, particularly in Surrey, Richmond and the North Shore, suggesting transit is becoming more useful to more people outside traditional commute times. Further service adjustments are expected for this year and next year, but Busby said there are limits to what the strategy can achieve. “We’re really working around the edges with the changes we are able to make,” he said. “We know we need to grow the transit system to keep up with demand.”

911

ridership in neighbourhoods that aren’t yet densely populated but are growing fast and will end up with large numbers of car-dependent residents without a viable transit alternative. But TransLink doesn’t allocate service in direct proportion with existing ridership, in recognition of the balance it must strike between serving current passengers and attracting new ones. The report shows South of Fraser cities got 700,000 bus service hours in 2013, half of the more than 1.4 million hours in Vancouver, which served four times as many bus riders as South of Fraser. Similarly, South of Fraser and Burnaby/New Westminster had roughly the same number of bus passengers served, but the Burnaby area was allocated only two-thirds as much service – 471,000 hours. “Some areas are more efficient than others,” Busby explained. “We would not expect that all parts of the region would be the same.” The report shows TransLink’s cost of carrying each bus passenger declined in most parts of the region over the three years. The only areas where the median cost per passenger climbed was Vancouver, where TransLink opted to add service hours to address crowding on the 99 B-Line along Broadway, and the North Shore, where service was added to try to attract new riders, with less success so far than hoped.

Black Press

TransLink says its reshuffling strategy has eased crowding on routes such as the 99 B-Line in Vancouver andthe 106 in Burnaby/New West.

Metro Vancouver mayors have proposed a major expansion of bus service, along with extended rapid transit lines, but are still in talks with the provincial government as to what new taxes might be put to a regional referendum to pay for the plan. Service optimization was

one of the recommendations for more efficiency from a 2012 audit that argued TransLink was spending too much running buses in areas with few prospective riders that generated little in revenue. Critics feared reform would mean sacrificing routes and service aimed at building

NDP ‘wrong’ on university pay claims Caps exceeded at UFV, VIU and Capilano: Eby Jeff Nagel Black Press

Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk says the NDP is wrong in its claims that more B.C. universities have paid senior executives more than permitted under salary caps set by the provincial government. The NDP obtained salary cap details for three universities – Capilano University, the University of the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island University – and said reported compensation paid to 14 executives at the schools exceeded their caps by a total of more than $1.1 million over three years.

Financial disclosures accuse Virk of covering show the three up further violations universities paid their in the wake of a recent presidents between probe of overpayments $230,000 and $245,000 at Kwantlen in the last year Polytechnic – more in each University. case than their But in a $225,000 caps, statement according to the emailed by his NDP. office, Virk said “What is the in a the caps on virk point in having presidents’ total caps in the compensation first place if they’re do not apply to other basically meaningless senior post-secondary and you’re not going executives, who are to enforce them?” instead subject to a asked NDP advanced salary range approved education critic David by PSEC. Eby. Those ranges don’t The Public Sector include additional Employers’ Council, benefits and pension, which enforces the which he said the NDP policy, has since mistakenly counted in refused to disclose its calculations, adding pay caps for other about 20 per cent. B.C. post-secondary Virk also said total institutions, prompting compensation for the Opposition to presidents can fluctuate

year to year due to higher benefit and pension costs beyond the employer’s control, and due to one-time payments such as unused vacation payouts. “The critic’s misinterpretation is intended to make it appear that these individuals are being paid outside the compensation they should be paid,” he said. Virk said institution board chairs have given signed confirmations that that executive compensation was paid out in line with approved plans. Virk previously faced calls to resign for his role before being elected MLA as a director on the board of Kwantlen,

where an investigation found extra $50,000 signing bonuses under the guise of consulting fees were made to the president and vicepresident to circumvent their pay caps. Virk has admitted he erred in agreeing to the payments in 201012, saying he wasn’t properly informed of

the rules. Virk told Eby in a May 27 letter that the precise caps on public sector pay aren’t made public so they don’t become a negotiating floor on salary when governing boards are in talks to hire new executives. Eby said continued secrecy around

About 60 per cent of the fires so far have been caused by people – a high proportion – but Saini said that’s typical early in the season, because lightningsparked fires tend to pick up later in the summer. Cooler weather and rain this week is helping ease the wildfire risk in much of the province, but Saini said a high pressure ridge is expected to rebuild by the weekend, bringing a return to warm, dry conditions.

City fuel economy can be frightening but I was surprised at how good this truck is, even when taking advantage of the new 120 km/h speed limit on the Coquihalla highway. The Durango put in a solid 11.8 L/100km, with more than 900 km driven. Keep in mind I didn’t soft foot my way to or from Kelowna. I did notice that the fuel economy improved vastly the closer I stayed to 100 km/h. The handling is a bit top-heavy in the corners, especially at higher speeds, but after some initial body roll, the Durango is very stable. One notable feature is the automatic fantastic adaptive cruise control, making the ride very enjoyable. Verdict If you drive in the city, the base 3.6L V6 engine might be a better choice based on fuel consumption but, if you drive a lot on the highway or tow a boat (3,265 kg towing capacity), the

Hemi is the right choice. Power was always there to pass and pull up a hill and the fuel economy can be good if the driver watches their speed. The V8 has the ability to switch off four of the eight cylinders when the truck is under light load and accessing this as often as possible makes a big difference. Another thing to consider is price: the Durango is not inexpensive, starting at $39,995 for the V6 and running up to $52,495 for the top Citadel V8. My family loved spending time in the Durango, we all had a lot of space and the trip was effortless. Our next adventure is to Portland, Oregon in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel. I can’t wait to see how that new truck compares. The Lowdown Power: 3.6L V6 with 290hp or 5.7L V8 with 360hp Fill-up: 15.6L/9.1L/100km (city/highway V8) Sticker price: $39,995-$52,495

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

A few more tips for making your home more energy efficient

Photo submitted by FortisBC

FortisBC’s Joan Churchill is behind the popular Renos with Joan series, and now the Shopping with Joan series. She offers homeowners tips for conserving energy, including installing a low-flow showerhead in your bathroom.

Save money with natural gas water heating By Kerry Vital

A warm shower or a relaxing hot bath is one of life’s simple little pleasures. Most of us don’t think about what it takes to heat that water until a rush of cold hits you. But it should be one of the top things on your list when looking to purchase or renovate a home. According to Natural Resources Canada, heating water takes up more than 25 per cent

of your home’s total energy use. So installing the most efficient water heater possible is well worth the initial outlay. “Look beyond the granite and the stainlesssteel appliances,” advises Joan Churchill at FortisBC. Churchill is the woman behind the popular Renos with Joan series, and now the Shopping with Joan series that appears in The Conserver, a free enewsletter filled with easy energy-saving tips that you can sign up for at

fortisbc.com/conserver. In 2010, Churchill purchased a pre-war bungalow and started renovating it into her energy-efficient dream home. Four years later the major renovation is complete. It began by upgrading the inefficient furnace to a high-efficiency, natural gas ENERGY STAR® model. “I wanted a natural gas water heater because heating with natural gas is more affordable,” Churchill says. Plus, FortisBC offers a rebate of up to $1,000 when installing an ENERGY STAR® water heater. Learn more at fortisbc.com/ waterheater. She chose a non-condensing tankless

It’s easy to save on water heating. Wash your clothes in cold water (except for your dirtiest whites), and take shorter showers. Try running your dishwasher only when it’s full, and make sure you fix your leaky pipes. It’s surprising how much water you waste when you leave a faucet dripping. Another way to save energy is to install a programmable thermostat, which will help you save up to 15 per cent on your home heating bills. Or, just wear more layers! Adding a sweater to your outfit will keep you cozy and save you money. Ensuring your home is well-insulated is one of the smartest things you can do. Not only will it keep you cooler in the summer by keeping hot air out, it will also keep your warm air from escaping when the temperatures drop. When it’s chilly outside, keep your doors and windows shut to prevent the heat from escaping your house, and caulk the interior side of your windows where the sash meets the frame to keep those cold winds out. You can also add weatherstripping to your exterior doors and the windows that open. Ensuring you change the filter on your furnace every three to six months will protect your furnace, as well as prevent the fan motor from overheating. This will keep a bit more money in your wallet! It is incredibly important to hire a professionally trained and licensed contractor when you are looking to install natural gas, whether it’s for a renovation or a new home. FortisBC has developed the Contractor Program to provide homeowners with easy access to licensed contractors. These contractors are well-informed about energy efficiency incentives and innovative technologies. They will provide you a written quote with an outline of costs and work involved. FortisBC recommends getting at least three quotes, and asking each of them if they are familiar with available rebates for including natural gas in your home. For more information about the program, visit fortisbc.com/findacontractor.

Natural gas. Good for shaving expenses. Heating water accounts for about 25 per cent of your home’s energy use. Choosing a high-efficiency natural gas model offers plenty of hot water when you need it—plus savings on your energy costs. Rebates available.

Start the process of including natural gas in your home by calling FortisBC CONTINUED FROM HOME FRONT

model, which she notes will last about 20 years and fits her lifestyle. “If you’re not sure what water heater is right for you, consider how many people live in your home, how many bathrooms there are and how long you plan to stay in the home,” she advises. “I love my natural gas water heater,” Churchill says. “I never run out of hot water; I can fill my soaker tub and run the dishwasher at the same time.” Churchill also included natural gas in her kitchen renovation via a natural gas range. “I’ve never had one before, and I love it!” she says. “I heard natural gas gives you infinite control for cooking, and it’s true! Plus, a cooktop or range will also work in a power outage.” In her Shopping with Joan series, she sifts through the abundance of information that’s out there – so you don’t have to – and provides easy shopping and energy-saving tips that make sense. So far she’s discussed low-flow sink faucets and saving water with low-flow showerheads. “I want to give people the information they may need in one place,” she explains. “Little things like switching to a low-flow showerhead can add up to savings on your energy bills.” If your home doesn’t have natural gas, start by calling FortisBC and inquiring as to the location of the nearest gas main. Depending on where you live, there may be a natural gas main already in the street in front of your house. You can then request an estimate on how much it will cost to install a service line to your home. For more information about the benefits of natural gas in the home, visit fortisbc.com/choosegas.
