June 21st is recognized across Canada as National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day to celebrate and learn more about the cultural diversity of Canada’s First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. For Kootenay Lake school district students, the entire year has been filled with a multitude of opportunities for students to learn about and participate in Aboriginal education.

Just a week prior to the nationally recognized day this year, almost 600 K-12 students from across the district converged at Salmo Secondary for the wuqanq̓ankimik run. A year in the making and planning, the Aboriginal run/walk event was a collaboration with the Lower Kootenay Band chief and council and the SD8 Aboriginal education department staff. What began as an initiative to promote physical activity for youth, the event grew to become a unique opportunity to collaborate and include elders and community members in the spirit of reconciliation.

The Ktunaxa word wuqanq̓ankimik means “to walk with long strides … to take big steps.” It was apparent in all of the preliminary speeches that day that events such as this one are indeed making great strides towards reconciliation.

LKB councillor Jared Basil, speaking to all the students, staff and community members present that afternoon said “We all have the

ability to make a difference when it comes to reconciliation, that we can make significant strides, big strides when there is a willingness to be open.”

Danica Weager, district Indigenization co-ordinator, was instrumental in organizing the event. With the assistance of additional funding from SportBC, ISPARC as well as a Healthy Schools grant, students enjoyed a terrific afternoon that included a free lunch, a bandana for every runner and several terrific draw prizes such as fitbits, water bottles, wireless headphones and other gadgets.

The opening ceremonies included a welcome to the territory and remarks from Jared Basil, a welcome from superintendent Dr. Christine Perkins and a submitted letter from MLA Michelle Mungall, read aloud by Salmo Secondary Principal Jann Schmidt. The Lower Kootenay Band drum group Eagle Bear Spirit then provided an opening song before the students did a warm up and assembled at the starting line.

Students and participating community members had the option of completing a one, three, or five kilometre walk/run. The run was immediately followed by a free hot dog lunch and then a reconciliation art activity and relay games in the school fields. Despite the heat, everyone seemed to enjoy the music, kinship and physical activity that afternoon. “Movement is medicine!” exclaimed Weager, in the true spirit of celebrating an inclusive approach to Aboriginal education.

Christina Lake now the Pickleball Capital of Canada SUBMITTED Special to Black Press

The Pickleball Capital of Canada is now officially Christina Lake.

Christina Gateway Community Development Association has announced approval of the trademark designation from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office.

Donna Wilchynski of Gateway has been working on the project since August 2017. With the support of Christina Lake regional district director Grace McGregor, Wilchynski presented the project to the Christina Lake Parks and Recreation Commission, who were excited to jump on board as it ties into their mandate to bring recreation programs to the Lake.

“The award of this designation is an incredible opportunity to promote recreation in Christina Lake and will benefit the community as a whole,” said parks and recreation manager Tom Sprado.

“Christina Lake Parks and Recreation is also completing the expansion of the Christina Lake pickleball courts by adding three more play areas, so this ties in quite nicely as the courts will be ready for play in about a week.”

McGregor says “owning the trademark Pickleball Capital of Canada is another anchor strengthening Christina Lake’s place on the map. I am quite pleased that not only does this project promote recreation and the health and wellness of Christina Lake residents, it will also benefit visitors who come to play and will be a great spin-off economically for local businesses.”

Gateway president Nola Delaye agrees: “We have an incredible group of people here who are working very hard promoting pickleball in Christina Lake, this designation will give them the momentum to promote far and wide.”

Wilchynski says her focus and mission is always to find ways for her community to benefit from the shoulder seasons and offering pickleball is a way to bring people to the lake.

“Christina Lake has the option of having tournaments in the spring, summer and fall so it sure is a win-win, residents, visitors and businesses will indeed benefit.” Wilchynski added that she is excited to work with the Christina Lake Pickleball Club, as “they are a phenomenal group of dedicated people.”

Pickleball is a growing sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis.

of political turmoil and ecological collapse. It promises to initiate a dynamic discussion.

C h e r nu s h e n ko embarked on his book tour on June 3 with stops in over 20 Canadian towns and cities. The Electrified Burning Souls Road Trip promotes his novel and invites timely conversation and debate about climate breakdown, populist rhetoric and misinformation, species loss, mass migration, the erosion of democracy and — above all — the wish and the quest of many Canadians to lead a life that is better aligned with their social and ecological values.

“It’s an ambitious project,” admits Chernushenko, “but then Burning Souls is an ambitious book about passionate people giving everything — and I do mean everything — to make a positive difference for society and the future of our ecosystems.

In the face of fierce opposition.”

He has been travelling, one 350 km recharge at a time, from town to town, holding readings

and signings, giving talks, participating in discussions and even delivering some guest sermons.

He blogs about his experiences with his audiences, his electric car “Belle the Bolt,” and in search of natural beauty and sources of human inspiration. He’s also taking time to savour his time in Western Canada.

“You can’t spend all your time and energy trying to be a saviour without reminding yourself what it is you are working to save,” he says.

The event on June 28 is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. upstairs at the Visitor Centre in Nelson, in Railtown at 91 Baker Street. Come by at 6:30 if you’d like to learn more about owning and driving an electric car.

Teachers share successes with new curriculum Kootenay Lake school district is winning awards and sharing resources SUBMITTED Special to Black Press

June always marks the end of the school year, a time for celebration and also reflection over the year’s past events. The 2018-19 school year also marks the final year before the full implementation of the B.C.’s new curriculum K-12 begins this September.

As part of the transition to the new curriculum, the Ministry of Education has provided additional funding to districts to ensure teachers have access to resources to learn, prepare and organize their classroom supports around implementation.

For this academic year, schools throughout Kootenay Lake school district were encouraged to apply for curriculum project grants that aligned directly with one or more of the district’s four strategic goals.

Nineteen unique school teams were granted between $1,000 to $3,000 each towards curriculum projects for 2018-2019.

Teachers and administrators representing many of the schools in the district came together this month to share their successes and evidence of student learning with one another at

the board office.

Many schools put their grant money towards providing release time for teachers to work together to derive new lesson plans and introduce cross-curricular projects. Teachers at J.V. Humphries and Blewett Elementary both acknowledged how important this collaborative time is for teachers.

“Often as a teacher I feel alone in my classroom,” said Grace Broadfoot, secondary sciences and outdoor education teacher in Kaslo. “Having that collaboration time to work with other teachers and share ideas is so important.”

“I’m so grateful,” said Blewett’s learning support teacher Jeff Hammerich. “I learned something totally new alongside the kids, and was then able to model that self-directed learning and self-critical thinking to some of our most vulnerable students who in turn for the first time became leaders in their classroom on a new subject.” Hammerich worked together with Grade 3/4 teacher James Wheeler to learn ADST tools Co-Spaces and Tinkercad.

Other schools applied for grant funding to review and further develop assessment and reporting policies. Having benefited from professional development workshops with Carol Fullarton last year, teachers at Canyon Lister Elementary looked closely at ways to implement Ful-

And at Hume Elementary, principal Janene Bate Stein and her staff have committed to using a consistent learner profile and reporting template that will involve and engage parents in the hopes to provide more meaningful report cards for them to read.

Two district high schools presented projects that created extraordinary opportunities for students to go beyond the classroom setting and learn something about themselves in unique ways.

How community foundations can help support kids’ summer sports SUBMITTED Special to Black Press

Organized sports in the summer are a great way to keep kids healthy and active outdoors. Community foundations across the Columbia Basin have various funds that support sports equipment, facilities, registration fees, and more.

Tina Choi, executive director of the Osprey Community Foundation in Nelson said that many Community Foundations have sports-related funds to which people can donate.

“From bursaries and scholarships for local athletes attending post-secondary school to financial assistance for regis-

tration and equipment for the younger kids, there are lots of ways to support your community’s love for recreation and sport,” she said.

“Lots of us have memories of our time playing organized sports when we were kids, and we know that youth sport participation provides numerous health and social benefits,” Choi explained. “By giving to a sports-related fund inside your local community foundation, you’re keeping your money and its benefits close to home.”

Whether through an individual donation, bequest in a will, or more formal event, there are many ways to sup-

port youth sports through your Community Foundation.

“We’ve seen adult leagues hosting fundraising events that support a youth-oriented sports fund, and that’s a great way to help the next generation of active youth in our community,” Choi said.

Community foundations are registered charities that manage donations for a wide range of specific causes. Donors can give money in a variety of ways: • donating to existing funds that match their area of philanthropic interest; • creating their own fund that in turn generates an ongoing donation to a charity of their choice; • give an unrestrict-

ed gift that the Foundation will allocate to areas of greatest need and priority.

“Your local community foundation uses expert managers to create, pool and invest the funds, generating ongoing financial returns that get allocated each year,” Choi explained. “The donor gets the charitable tax receipt, we take care of all the administrative burden, and the hardworking charities and programs in the community receive much needed financial support.”

You can find your local community foundation by going to communityfoundations.ca/ f i n d - a - c o m mu n i ty-foundation.

Salmo Secondary presented on her work with English 10-12 students around the theme of marginalization.

Through field trips, and studying the visual texts of multiple indigenous authors, Terpstra observed shifting attitudes in the spirit of reconciliation and was able to build connections to place for many of her students.

At L.V. Rogers Secondary, English teacher Carla Wilson spearheaded an intergenerational initiative called Growing Together, Rising Strong, that brought students and seniors together to discuss deep topics and authentic life experiences. The proj-

ect was transformational for many of the participants, both young and old, building resiliency and providing space to share histories and develop compassion.

The project also involved local author Lee Reid, who they collaborated with to produce the book, Growing Together: Conversations between Seniors and Youth. The B.C. Retired Teachers’ Association Excellence in Education committee has awarded L.V. Rogers the 2019 Legion/Golden Star Award for this program. The Legion award money will be used, in part, for the second phase of the Growing Together program, to produce a documentary film.

The curriculum presentations filled an entire day with dialogue, shared experiences and visuals, and offered a valued opportunity for administrators and teachers from around the district to ask questions and promote strategies that worked for them with their colleagues and peers.

“Every school in the district was able to take part in at least one project this year through opportunities provided at the district, regional and provincial levels,” said Naomi Ross, acting director of innovative education. In addition to the curriculum grants, the innovative education department was also able to host 105 professional learning opportunities for staff through the Focus, Learn, Excel initiative.

acy Protracted, continues from now until on Friday, July 12. The gallery hours during the run of the exhibition are from 1 to 5 p.m. from Wednesday through Saturday at 3-320 Vernon St. in Nelson.

Locke says his intention is to “explore the impacts of scale and architectural spatial relationships” as they relate the tradition of painting. The physical size of the piece with approximately 400 square feet of canvas and it’s supporting wooden structural apparatus make it “visibly evident that the work cannot leave the space without being dismantled.”

People travelling to the West Kootenay in their electric vehicles are going to have more options for fastcharging their cars.

Fortis BC plans to install 12 new Direct Current Fast Charge (DCFC) stations to its EV charging network.

Rossland will be

getting one of those stations. It will be replacing one of the aging Level Two charge stations now in place off Washington Street, next to the Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store.

Fast-charging stations are expected to charge a compact electric vehicle in about a half an hour, as compared to a Level-2 station that requires about

three to four hours. The BC Utilities Commission-approved charge rate is $9 per half hour.

By working in close collaboration with local communities and all levels of government, FortisBC was able to place these stations at locations that ease charging concerns for both short commutes and longer highway travel.

TALKING ABOUT CANNABIS CAN GO MANY WAYS PRACTICEKIDS.CA

The stations are also slated for Nelson, Kaslo, New Denver and Nakusp, as well as in communities along Highway 3 between the Kootenays and Kelowna.

“Making the switch to electric vehicles is part of our government’s CleanBC plan to cut climate pollution, boost the economy, and create opportunities for communities across the province,”said Michelle Mungall, Minister Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. “This new series of electric vehicle chargers in B.C’s interior will strengthen our existing charging network and make it easier to charge up.”

These fast chargers were 50 per cent funded

by Natural Resources Canada and 25 per cent by B.C. Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources as part of the Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Deployment Initiative.

FortisBC funded the remaining amount and will own and maintain the stations.

Tiny invasive mussels cause big problems SUBMITTED Special to Black Press

The spring 2019 status report on the provincial mussel defence program was recently published on the program’s website.

The program’s goal is to prevent the introduction of invasive zebra and quagga mussels into B.C. by inspecting boats, monitoring lakes and educating the public.

Watercraft inspection stations are currently operating across the province. As of May 31, 5,500 inspections have taken place and five boats were found infested with the invasive mussels.

It only takes one contaminated boat to start a new infestation. To date, B.C. is still free of invasive mussels, which have caused millions in damage per year to hydropower stations, and municipal water supplies in other parts of North America that have already been invaded by mussels. In addition to economic impacts, mussels can negatively impact biodiversity, species at risk, fisheries productivity, water quality, and recreation opportunities.

During the 2018 operations season 78,000 people were reached to promote the Clean, Drain, Dry message, 450 decontaminations were performed and 82 violation tickets were issued to people who failed to stop at the mandatory inspection stations. The majority of non-compliant vehicles were carrying non-motorized watercraft such as kayaks, paddleboards and canoes.

New for 2019 is the addition of another mussel detection dog named Major. This is a welcome addition to the southeast region since Major’s handler Cynthia Mann is located in Nelson.

Lake monitoring is

another aspect of the provincial mussel defence program. Next to prevention, the next best tool in our toolbox is early detection.

The Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society will be conducting plankton sampling for invasive mussels from June through October.

Staff collect samples within nine different high priority waterbodies. These samples are sent to a provincial lab to be analyzed for zebra and quagga mussel veligers, the free-swimming microscopic mussel larvae.

In an effort to encourage watercraft users to arrive at waterbodies with clean boats and gear CKISS is coordinating six new Clean Drain Dry signs to be installed at popular boat launches this summer. New signs will be located at Scotties Marina near Syringa, New Denver and Kaslo public boat launches, Beaver Creek Provincial Park, Wragge Beach and Howser recreation sites.

The CKISS outreach booth will be at a variety of community events and boat launches throughout the summer to talk to watercraft enthusiasts about Clean, Drain

Dry Protocol.

CKISS reminds you that suspected invasive mussels should be reported immediately to the Conservation Officer Services Report All Poachers and Polluters: 1-877-952-7277 (RAPP).

The invasive mussel defence program is a shared delivery between staff from the B.C. Conservation Office Service and the environmental sustainability and strategic policy division within the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy.

Pink Floyd tribute bound for Nelson, Trail in September SUBMITTED Special to Black Press

PIGS, Canada’s top touring Pink Floyd tribute band, will play at the Capitol Theatre in Nelson on Thursday, Sept. 26 and the Bailey Theatre in Trail on Friday, Sept. 27 as part of their In the Flesh Tour

2019. Both shows are at 7:30 p.m.

Realizing that playing large stadiums meant most of their audience could barely see or hear them, Pink Floyd sarcastically called their 1977 Animals world tour In The Flesh. This sense of disconnect eventually inspired Roger Waters to write The Wall, which would

become one of the highest selling records of all time.

PIGS have named their In The Flesh Tour for precisely the opposite reason: while celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Wall and touring across North America, PIGS want to unironically highlight the upfront and personal

experience of their show.

Tickets for the Nelson show are available at the Capitol Theatre box office, by phone at 250-3526363, or online at capitoltheatre.ca.

Tickets for the Trail show can be purchased at the Bailey box office, PIGS are coming (flying?) to Nelson and Trail this by phone at 250-368-9669 or online September to perform the music of Pink Floyd.

ArtWalk returns to Nelson this weekend for 31st year SUBMITTED Special to Black Press

The Nelson and District Arts Council is thrilled to announce the 31st annual ArtWalk.

ArtWalk has become a highlight of the arts and cultural season, offering the community

a free event that showcases the work of local artists in business galleries. This year’s event hosts over 35 artists in 17 venues downtown and down to the waterfront.

Opening night is Friday from 6 to 9 p.m.

Seventeen of the 18 venues will be open (the Nelson and District Youth Centre will not be participating, as their renovations have

run long). Showing artists will be on hand to chat about their work.

There will be roaming performers visiting the venues and performing on the streets.

Look for harpists, saxophone players, hang drummers, hula hoopers, dancers, singers, musicians, and more.

The schedule of these performances is

posted on the ArtWalk Nelson Facebook page.

The Nelson and District Arts Council thanks the business community for their continued support of ArtWalk. The venues open up their spaces and their walls in support of the local arts community and the event couldn’t continue without that support.

Nakusp dips into gas tax reserve fund to fix arena JOHN BOIVIN Arrow Lakes News

Fixing the Nakusp arena’s cooling system has cost the village a pretty penny.

Council heard recently it’s going to take an extra $50,000 to repair the arena’s cooling system, nearly 50 per cent more than originally budgeted.

“We were a caught a little off guard by this one,” says Mayor Tom Zeleznik.

Problems with the compressors first brought the electricians in to check the system, says Zeleznik. However, workers soon found a host of problems, from poorly installed “soft starters” for

the system, to worn bearings to unmapped electrical schematics.

“They found it was more an electrical problem causing the compressors to fail,” says Zeleznik. “They normally have a 15-to-20 year lifespan, but for us they were only lasting three to eight years.

“But now they found the reason, so hopefully we will get longer use out of them.”

But making the fix was expensive. The repairs as budgeted were $96,508. The additional work cost $48,311, bringing the total for the project to $144,819.

But the village caught a break: this year it received a one-time boost to its com-

munity works reserve, or gas tax grant, from the federal government.

The village had more than $180,000 in the fund it could access.

Having dodged a big budget bullet, Zeleznik says it’s time for the community to talk about the arena and how to make better use of it.

“It’s something you call a big elephant,” he says. “It would be good to sit down with the community, with the regional district, and talk about ways to make the arena more active, to be able to raise more money to help support it.

“But it’s not unusual, most small communities run into Nakusp’s mayor says repairs to the ice-making system at the arena should make it more reliable and lengthen its this problem.” lifespan.

village’s water supply anymore.

The village says right now, they wouldn’t be able to.

“There is no provision for agricultural use within our water-rate bylaw and it would have to be amended,” says a recent report to council from chief administrative officer Cheryl Martens.

“Should the applicant decide to pursue this development, they would need to obtain approval from the village to use its water for the proposed use.

“Actual consumption would have to be determined to see if the village is able to supply what the applicant would need without affecting the residents and businesses in the village.”

Paul says he doesn’t think water should be an issue. He plans to eventually gather four micro-grow licences, which would allow him to grow about four acres of cannabis. With the irrigation system he’s planning to use, he says his operation shouldn’t affect the village capacity.

“The water use isn’t that great on this plant,” he says. “I’d use spaghetti lines on the plants, 10 minutes

The Village of Nakusp’s water system doesn’t have an agricultural use provision, phoTo: John Boivin says the village CAO. of water in morning, and 10 in the evening.

That’s nothing.”

And Paul notes there are other people in Nakusp using village water for agricultural purposes.

“There’s a neighbour who raises cattle on village water,” he says.

“The Spicers’ farm uses village water. There are vineyards in Nakusp on village water.

“I’m starting out with 200 square meters of crop. There are bigger gardens out there than 200 square metres.”

Unravelling the red tape The water issue is just one of a dozen hurdles Paul has had to face on the way to growing cannabis legally.

Many people who have wanted to grow have found the applica-

tion process confusing, contradictory, opaque, time-consuming and costly.

But Paul, who started the application process the day the rules came out, says he’s making progress.

That’s because says if you want to grow pot in the West Kootenay, it helps if you know how to cut down trees.

“I am a forester, I am used to working with government and their regulations and filling out paperwork,” he says. “It is a big advantage. I know a lot of people around here who are trying to get into it and they just can’t.

They don’t understand all the legal jargon that goes on.

“But I don’t think it’s impossible, I think it’s doable.”

Paul says he’s had great support from

local governments — both the RDCK and Village of Nakusp have offered help where they can.

The federal government, not so much.

“You think people want to answer your questions? The answer is no,” he says. “I called the government office and they said ‘write us an email.’

“I was surprised they even answered the phone. You get absolutely nowhere, they are afraid to tell you anything, they say just ‘email.’”

The Pauls also have to spend thousands on fencing, security systems, quality control processes, as well as find buyers for the product at a price they can turn a profit on.

If all goes well, Paul says they hope to start growing next year.

Purchase of Kootenay Lake watershed protects land, species at risk The Canadian Press

A watershed between Nelson and Creston that includes a rare inland temperate rainforest has been purchased by the Nature Conservancy of Canada, protecting it from development.

The national land trust says the

purchase and protection of the 79-square-kilometre Next Creek watershed was one of its highest conservation priorities in B.C. The watershed, along the west side of Kootenay Lake, is in the centre of the more than 600-square-kilometre Darkwoods Conservation Area.

Because the watershed was privately owned, the nature conservancy says it, and the surrounding conservation area, faced a threat of intensified or unsustainable industrial or recreational activity.

Acquisition of Next Creek effectively completes the Darkwoods Conservation Area and a network

of protected lands covering most of the mountainous region bounded by the lake and Highways 3 and 6 between Nelson, Salmo and Creston.

Close to $20 million was needed to purchase the land and provide for long-term management, with funds coming from private donors, governments and several businesses

and foundations.

Darkwoods offers essential habitat for almost 40 confirmed species at risk, including grizzly bear, wolverine, peregrine falcon and mountain caribou, as well as an inland temperate rainforest which is rare because it receives most of its moisture from snow.

Gray is here to stay in home designs Decorating a home in neutral tones has long been recommended as a way to sell a home quickly. But the color gray also provides a blank canvas for homeowners who have no intention of putting their homes on the market anytime soon.

Beige and white have long been go-to colors for neutral living spaces. But many interior decorators now look to gray as the neutral color of choice.

Design experts advise that gray has a broad range. Gray can include everything from silver to charcoal to a dusty cloud.

According to the trendsetters at Glidden Paints, gray coordinates well with other colors. Plus, the neutral appeal of gray boasts a

timeless quality.

Gray is not a clear-cut color that’s simply a 50-50 blend of white and black. Gray has subtle nuances that can lean toward blues, greens, taupes, and more depending on the lighting and surrounding furnishings.

That means that homeowners who are ready to replace their furniture or accessories need not necessarily repaint if they’ve previously decorated in shades of gray.

Individuals need only replace small items to produce a big effect in rooms where gray is dominant. Because gray is so neutral, it works with soft, calming colors in various pastels, but equally as well with

bright reds, yellow and oranges, according to Scott Bodenner, a Brooklyn-based textile designer.

Gray also is a predominant color in natural stones used throughout homes in entryways, bathrooms and kitchens. It can make design sense to maintain continuity throughout by dabbling in gray elsewhere.

Designers have shown how gray does not have to be cold, industrial or gloomy. It can be sophisticated in just about any room of the house. More designers are now leaning toward warmer variations of gray, such as taupes and blends dubbed “greige,” that are beautiful but not as stark as pure gray.

How to save up for your first home Home ownership is a dream for people across the globe. Many people save for years before buying their first homes, squirreling away every dollar they can with the hopes they can one day become homeowners.

But thanks to factors beyond their control, even the most devoted savers can sometimes feel like their dream of home ownership may never come true. According to the Pew Research Center, American workers’ paychecks are larger than they were 40 years ago, but their purchasing power is essentially the same. Things aren’t much different in Canada, where analysis from Statistics Canada and the Bank of Canada has shown that, since 2015, wage growth $354,900

competing grocery stores also can save money.

• Dine in more often.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that Americans spend, on average, 6 percent of their household budgets on food. However, the USDA also notes that Americans spend 5 percent of their disposable income on dining out. If these figures mirror your spending habits, you can nearly cut your food spending in half by dining out less frequently. That might be a sacrifice for foodies, but it can get you that much closer to buying your own home.

Saving enough money to purchase your first home is a worthy effort that can be made easier by employing a few budgetfriendly strategies.

Various challenges can make it difficult to buy a home. However, some simple strategies can help prospective home buyers build their savings as they move closer to the day when they can call themselves “homeowners.”

• Determine where

pay for items, even just to buy coffee on the way to work, keep a notepad handy so you can jot down each expense. Do this for a month and then examine how you spent your money. Chances are you will see various ways to save, and you can then redirect that money into your savings account.

• Become a more savvy grocery shopper.

Another great way to save more money is to alter something you already do each month: grocery shopping. If you haven’t already, sign up for discount clubs at your local grocer. This is a largely effortless way for shoppers, especially those buying food for families, to save considerable amounts of money. Shopping sales at

Quick and simple ways to make a front door pop Visitors’ impressions of a home are often dictated by the home’s entryway.

Must as one may judge a book by its cover, the same can be said about the impression that a front door and entryway can create, regardless of how accurate that impression is.

Making certain changes to an entryway can go a long way toward improving curb appeal. Entryways also can set the scene for a home’s interior. Whether one chooses to be classic or bold, modern or traditional, there are various ways to quickly transform a home’s entryway.

• Bold front door color: Color can dramatically enhance an entryway.

Painting an existing door or replacing it with a more vivid option can do the trick. The DIY Network says certain colors stand out as favorites. These include

turquoise, yellow, red, indigo, orange, and black.

The door color should complement the other shades of the home, such as those on siding and trim.

• Custom walkway: Guide guests right to the front door with an attractive (and safe) walkway. Stamped concrete or decorative paver blocks may fit the bill. This walkway can extend to the street or to the driveway.

• Contain plants.

Landscaping around the entryway should be neat and well-tended.

Overgrown plants or shrubbery may give off an air of neglect. Container plants and carefully curated shrubs can create a neat and inviting aura.

• Highlight the address.

Make sure the home can be found easily with bold and decorative house numbers. Consider two

different address signs: one illuminated and easily viewed from the curb, and another closer to the front door.

• Utilize high-end materials. The relatively small area of real estate by the front door enables homeowners to splurge on more opulent materials that can really add a feeling of luxury. These can include colorful tiles, ornate planters, decorative wooden doors, or elaborate knobs and lighting fixtures.

• Add architectural details. Find out which architectural elements will meld with the style of the home and then incorporate them. Moldings, columns, shutters, and trim are areas to consider.

The entryway to a home garners a lot of attention.

Homeowners can enhance their spaces with entryways that really make a statement. www.MountainTownProperties.ca

Why it’s smart to have a smart home Devices are everywhere.

According to a recent visual networking index forecast from Cisco, by 2021, there will be four networked devices and connections per person across the globe. Those figures are even greater in North America, where Cisco estimates each person will have 13 networked devices and connections by 2021.

With all those devices, it’s no surprise that a greater number of people are embracing the smart home movement. Those who have yet to jump on the bandwagon can benefit from learning more about smart homes and why it’s intelligent to have a smart home.

What is a smart home?

According to SmartHomeUSA. com, the term “smart home” is commonly used to define residences in which appliances, lighting, heating and cooling units, televisions, computers, entertainment systems, and security systems are capable of communicating with one another.

Each of these components can be controlled remotely, typically via a smartphone.

to run their HVAC systems all day while no one was home. In fact, the CNET/Coldwell Banker survey found 45 percent of Americans say that smart home products save them an average of $98.30 each month.

• Investment: Whether you’re a developer or a single-family homeowner, real estate is an investment. Making a home as appealing to prospective buyers as possible is a great way to get a better return on your real estate investment. The CNET/Coldwell Banker survey found that 81 percent of buyers would be more likely to buy a home if smart home products were already installed.

That can make the market for your home more competitive, ultimately earning you more money at resale.

Smart homes are both the present and the future.

Homeowners who want to make their homes more livable today and more marketable tomorrow should consider investing in smart home products.

Why is it smart to have a smart home?

The benefits of a smart home are numerous, and will likely only multiply as people utilize more devices.

• Time: A recent joint survey from CNET and Coldwell Banker found that 57 percent of Americans say that smart home technology saves them an average of 30 minutes per day. That’s an especially beneficial advantage for busy parents and/or professionals who find it difficult to juggle all of their daily responsibilities.

• Money: Another benefit to smart homes is their cost savings.

Because devices can be controlled remotely, smart home owners can adjust the temperatures on their heating and cooling units while away from home. That means they can arrive home each night to a comfortable home without having

The choice for staying put or moving on Many home improvement television series showcase people deciding whether to improve upon their current homes to make them into the houses of their dreams or to put “for sale” signs in their lawns and move on to something new.

The question of whether to move or stay put depends on various factors. Such factors may include emotional attachment to a home, the current economic climate and the cost of real estate. Current data points to a greater propensity for people to invest and improve upon their current properties rather than trading up for something new.

According to information collected by John Burns Real Estate

Consulting, the percentage of homeowners moving up to their next home is the lowest in 25 years.

Many are opting to make starter homes permanent by expanding them and repairing homes for the long haul.

The National Association of Realtors said that, between 1987 and 2008, home buyers stayed in their homes an average of six years before selling. Since 2010, however, NAR says the average expected length of time people will stay in their homes before selling is now 15 years.

Part of what’s fueling this permanency is that many home buyers were able to acquire rockbottom mortgage interest rates shortly after the 2008 recession. As a result,

they’re not inclined to walk away from those rates, even if doing so means getting more house. Also, a low inventory of available houses has stymied repeat buying for many people.

Those factors and others have led many homeowners to invest in renovations instead. The experts at Bankrate say realistic budgeting and comparing renovation project costs against mortgages and interests rates can further help individuals decide whether to remain in their current homes or move out. Very often a smarter layout and more efficient floor plan can make meaningful differences in spaces.

Renovations and redesigns can make sense and often are less expensive and disruptive than moving.

Make moving much easier It should come as no surprise that spring kicks off one of the busiest times of year in the housing market. Warm weather makes it more comfortable to see and display homes, leading to more listings and open houses.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average person in the United States changes residences more than 11 times in his or her lifetime. With each move, the process of moving may become more familiar. But even the most practiced nomad can find moving to be an overwhelming experience.

Those on the cusp of moving and nervous about packing up and leaving can employ a few tricks to make moving much easier.

Research areas carefully Buyers are advised to do their research when seeking new towns or cities to call home. There are many factors to consider, including school district ratings, proximity to shopping,

distance from work/commute times, availability of transportation, climate, and crime ratings.

Before falling in love with a particular home, potential buyers can visit the area in which the home is located during a typical weekday to get a feel for the atmosphere. Check out shopping centers, observe the residents and drive by the schools and businesses. This can help paint an accurate picture that may or may not differ from that depicted in the real estate listing.

Stack the deck Working with qualified professionals who have gone through the moving process before can make for easier work for buyers and sellers. Ask for recommendations regarding real estate companies, real estate attorneys, home inspectors, insurance agents, and all of the other people who will assist with buying, selling and moving. Carefully vet these professionals, relying on third-

party reviews as well as any information provided by the Better Business Bureau.

Secure temporary storage It can help to put some belongings into a storage center prior to moving, and then gradually take items from the storage unit to your new home. This will free up space to make repairs to your new home and give you time to figure out decorating schemes while ensuring clutter won’t get in the way of renovation projects. New homeowners also can take their time sorting through boxes and getting rid of items they may not need in their new homes.

Get estimates and verify licensing The BBB advises consumers to verify all licensing for movers. Solicit at least three in-home estimates and get those figures in writing. Confirm insurance coverage for the company chosen, and be sure to have all agreed upon information spelled out explicitly in a written contract. Red flags to consider

include movers who don’t make on-site inspections for estimates and those who demand payment in advance before the move.

Have a first-week survival kit New homeowners can pick up takeout restaurant menus and premade grocery store meals. In addition, stock up on staples such as paper plates, toilet tissue, light bulbs, and cleaning supplies in advance of the move so you won’t have to unpack everything at mealtime or when you want to clean after arriving at your new home.

Improving a home’s curb appeal An attractive front entrance area gives a home curb appeal that invites both guests and potential home buyers. Upgrading a home’s exterior can be as simple as painting or as complex as installing new windows or adding a patio.

Inspiration for a curb appeal “makeover” that reflects the owner’s budget and decorating choices are easy to find online.

Stop by the nearest Woodcraft store for tools and supplies, along with helpful advice from the staff, or visit Woodcraft. com to shop and read how-to blogs and articles.

One of the easiest and quickest ways to boost curb appeal is to paint (and repair if needed) a home’s front door, molding and trim. Painting garage doors, porches, shutters, doorsteps, flower b o x e s , f u r n i t u re , mailboxes/stands, and window trim are other potential projects, as is changing the front door hardware.

For front door and shutter painting inspiration, visit these informational blogs on Woodcraft.com: Front Door Klein Blue Redo (http://bit.ly/2zSVV9J) and To Thine Own Self Be Blue (http:// bit.ly/2EkUsvR).

Repair & Paint Woodcraft offers

these products and ideas for more repairing and painting.

• General Finishes Milk Paint is a premium interior/ exterior mineralbased paint premixed in more than two dozen colors. It is so durable it does not require a topcoat.

However, Woodcraft Product Development Manager Kent Harpool suggests using General Finishes Exterior 450 as a sealer for exterior uses. The 450 is fortified with UV absorbers to stabilize the finish and built-in mildewcide to retard mold and mildew growth.

• Krud Kutter TSP Substitute will clean and degloss almost any surface prior to painting so that paint $433,900 $429,700 adheres better.

• System Three Sculpwood Epoxy Putty is a two-part epoxy putty that can be used indoors or out.

Finish HVLP Sprayers spray most solvent or water-based products — latex paint, milk paint, chalk paint, furniture paint, stains, and finishes. The Finish Max is ideal for small- to mediumsized projects, while the Super Finish Max is more powerful and covers a wider range of projects and thicker paints and varnishes with less thinning required.

• HOMERIGHT Spray Shelters are good for furniture projects (large shelter), as well as smaller accessories (small shelter).

Remove, Replace & Build R e p l a c i n g windows, gutters and downspouts; adding

molding to a door; building — outdoor furniture, a unique mailbox and stand, or flower containers; and adding or expanding a patio area/porch require a large investment of time and money. Look for these products to help with these replacement and building projects.

• Lightweight and quiet, yet easily portable, the Rolair AB5 Air Buddy, 1⁄2 HP Compressor is a durable companion for your weekend projects.

• Use the GREX Green Buddy 18-gauge, 2” Brad Nailer for trim and moldings, light wood assembly, window beading, scribe molding, and door and window casings.

• For precision s a w i n g , e ff i c i e n t sanding, power cutting, accurate filing, scraping, cleaning and polishing, and more, consider the Fein MultiMaster Start Q with a pinless Starlock mounting system and easy snap-in accessories.

• Take SawStop safety, quality and precision directly to your project work area when you choose the portable SawStop Jobsite Saw with Cart.

To learn more about these and other products, stop in your local Woodcraft store, call (800) 535-4482 or visit www.woodcraft. com.
