FROM THE CHAIR I would like to welcome you to the 2014 Parade of Homes.

As I look back at the years of serving as the Parade of Homes Steering Committee Chairperson, I am happy to see the progress, the new trends, and especially the folks that can experience the American Dream, owning their first home.

This year’s Parade brings a diverse line up of 5 brand new homes with many different styles. One of the highlights is new to the Parade, a “Renovation”. This home was built in the early 1800’s and was burned in a fire that nearly destroyed the whole interior. With the hard work of HBIA Contractors the home is now a spectacular residence to call home. Also, this year, is a spectacular home with 360 degree views of the Helena Valley from the Home Office on the top of the home.

All the homes are beautiful this year.

Thank you to the Builders for their effort in making the Parade another successful event for the HBIA. Thank you to all the volunteers who work so hard on the event, and a very special thank you to the Sponsors of this year’s Parade. The HBIA believes in the Helena Community and coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, and working together is success.

Enjoy the Parade, and remember The Best Business is Business with an HBIA Member.

2014 Helena Parade of Homes

A Home for Your Retirement: How Do You Decide?

By Jim Burgess Home works

Members of the baby boom generation are now moving into their 60s and approaching retirement – a process that brings with it a host of confusing choices and decisions. For many, the first question is often, “Where will I live when I retire?”

Most healthy retirees begin by taking some time to study their options and make a plan. Here are some of the many options.

1. Stay where you are. People who love their home, their neighborhood and their friends may decide to stay – at least, until there’s a good reason to move. But it’s important to be realistic. A big family home can become a burden to its residents as they age. But many empty nesters have hired expert remodelers to adapt their home to make it easy to use and maintain. Stairs often become a problem, but moving the master bedroom and the laundry room to the ground floor can be part of a solution that gives such retirees many more years in the home they love.

2. Downsize. If the current home isn’t easily adaptable, it may make sense to look around for a smaller, newer home – one designed to be easy to live in and take care of. Many retirees look for such homes in one of the two varieties of age-restricted communities: those where most residents are age 55 or older, or those where everyone is 62 or older.

And other suitable homes can be found in all-age communities. And don’t forget apartment or condo living – a perfect option for retirees who don’t want to worry about home maintenance, or who plan to spend a lot of time traveling.

3. Stay nearby, move to an area near adult children and grandchildren or head for a better climate. Research shows that most retirees who move prefer to stay nearby, either in the same town, the same county or the same state. But others look at the move as a liberating opportunity to do something completely different. Some even retire to another country, where the cost of living is lower. Younger retirees often consider moving to

communities that focus on an active lifestyle, with enhanced opportunities for continuing education, cultural events or physical fitness programs that foster continuing wellness. In the past, people looked to the sunny Southern states for such communities. But these days, smart builders are locating such active-adult communities even in Northern states.

4. Plan for a smooth transition. Another choice for those who like to plan ahead is a community that offers many living situations. Most have independent cottages or apartments for active younger residents, assisted living options for residents who need some help, and skilled nursing care for residents who become frail or ill. In such a community, a resident can move from one to another with a minimum of disruption.

Today’s builders and developers know that while there are 40 million people currently 60 and older in the U.S., there will be about 56 million by 2025.

Many of them will find a contractor to help them remain in their homes by looking at the Helena Building Industry Associations Membership. The residential building community is committed to creating great home choices for those baby boomers – and their friends and families. If you want to learn more, contact your local home builders association or visit Helenabia.com.

Call or write the HBIA and let us help direct you to local contractors who specialize in building or remodeling homes that supports your independence and lifestyle.

The Home

| A wrap around front porch lends old-fashioned hospitality to this house.

That aura of welcome is carried indoors with a formal entryway with coat closet, a living room with fireplace, and a formal dining room. Both the living and dining rooms feature 11-foot ceilings. Work centers (sink, refrigerator, and cooktop areas) in the kitchen are arranged in a triangle for optimal efficiency. Windows flank the corner sink in the kitchen, maximizing light and view. The master suite features a bedroom with lofted ceiling and a window bump-out. The attached bath includes a whirlpool tub, a tiled shower a doublesink vanity, and a walk-in closet. A second bathroom with linen closet accommodates bedrooms two and three. A two-car garage is at the rear of house. A mud room with laundry facilities separates the garage from the rest of the house.

The Builder

| Sierra Custom Homes is a customer-focused firm that has been building custom homes in the Helena area since 1996. Owner Chris Purvis, knows no greater pleasure than that of bringing a custom home to completion, knowing that all of his careful planning and attention to detail have come together to create a truly unique and one of a kind custom home.

With their experience, knowledge and commitment to quality, Sierra Homes is able to successfully complete even the most extensive and challenging projects. Chris feels a strong sense of achievement knowing that his clients are proud of their homes.

Chris started in the construction field in 1981 framing houses, his father was a builder and he learned fine home building from the ground up.

After years in building he went on to become a master electrician, and operated a successful

electrical company, but he was called back to his true love, building quality homes.

He started Sierra Homes and made it his goal to create a truly custom home that homeowners are proud to call their own. Through the years, Sierra Homes achieved a well-earned reputation for building the best in custom homes.

Pride motivates us. Our mission is to have proud owners. It follows that we take pride in every home we build, starting with the best land available, creative selection of floor plans for the site, building with the finest materials, and tending to every detail‌‌ Sierra Homes also prides its self on using the best craftsman in Helena to provide a team of professionals on each new home. From home design to interior design they have the ability to create a memorable experience for each new home owner.

| Built in 1898 by local physician, Dr. Benjamin C. Brooke, this home was first occupied in 1900 by Brooke’s daughter, a school teacher, and her husband who was also a physician.

The home changed ownership many times over the last century until the current owners purchased it in 1986. An inviting wrap-around porch, distinctive turret, and charming half-round shingles on the dormers highlight the home’s exterior. Upon entry, one’s eye is immediately drawn to the rich finishes of hardwood floors and oak wainscoting as well as many intricate details that lend themselves to the cozy, welcoming feel of the home. One would never guess by touring this historic treasure that it was nearly destroyed by a kitchen fire just over a year ago.

While firefighters were able to quickly contain the blaze, the fire damage and associated smoke odor permeated the entire home. Due to the age and historic nature of this home, many unique challenges were faced by the experienced reconstruction team.

The interior required careful, precision demolition to maintain the home’s character and integrity.

Additionally, extensive abatement of lead and asbestos were required due to the vintage of the building materials. A high attention to detail was required to preserve the historic charm.

Dayspring Restoration was able to salvage the original stained glass, some of the oak trim, and a beautiful built-in china cabinet through extensive restorative processes. New trim, baseboard, and paneling pieces were milled to match the old oak finishes in the unsalvageable areas where fire had destroyed the building materials. This home was fully restored and upgraded to meet the needs of future generations, while also paying homage to the past and preserving the feel of a bygone era.

The Home

| A covered front porch, a facade that's trimmed in timber accents and expansive windows give this Craftsman home timeless appeal. As you walk inside the two-story entryway, you’ll appreciate the workmanship and attention to detail; everything you’ve come to expect from a Rand Toner built home.

The open floor plan features 9’ ceilings, solid Hickory flooring, and straight-grain hemlock trim. The two-story great room’s focal point is a custom, gas fireplace with rock veneer featuring built-in storage for all your media equipment. Cherry cabinets highlight the kitchen along with quartz countertops, a dining bar, tiled floor, and stainless steel appliances. You can’t miss the spacious, walk-in pantry, a must for today’s busy cook. The main floor media room with surround sound is waiting to entertain your guests with access to the covered back patio.

Tucked off the great room, the owner’s suite offers privacy and a spa-like bath with custom-tiled, walk-in shower, custom vanity with dual sinks, quartz

countertops and luxurious garden tub with tile surround. A convenient half bath and laundry/mud room complete the main level.

Up the grand staircase, a custom-built railing frames the view into the great room and entry below. Three additional bedrooms, a large bathroom with dual sinks and tiled shower surround, and plenty of storage adds even more livability to the home.

Top 10 Ways Direct Mail Delivers

by Kyle Spencer , owner Allegra marketing print & mail

Despite all the new media options, marketers continue to put their trust in direct mail – in large part because their audiences trust it as well. In fact, research by Epsilon reveals that direct mail is the preferred channel for North American consumers to receive brand communications in nearly every product and service category, including charitable causes.

The same study notes: • More than 60% of North American consumers enjoy checking the mailbox for postal mail.

• U.S. consumers (73%) and Canadian shoppers (67%) prefer direct mail for brand communications because they can read the information at their convenience.

Some tips on how you can make the most of direct mail: 1. Test for success. Before making the investment to deploy a major campaign, do smaller sample mailings to test your offers (dollars off vs. percentage off), creative treatments (bold graphics vs. simple images) or mail format (postcard vs. letter package).

2. Keep it simple. Over years of testing and refinement, the rules of direct marketing copy and design have emerged. Most important? Sell the offer not the product in a friendly, me-to-you tone.

The most powerful word is “you.”

3. Tease your envelope. Add your offer to the outer envelope. (Open now; $10 coupon inside!) The call-to-action will likely improve your response rates.

Remember: The offer doesn’t have to cost you a lot; it just needs to have perceived value with your target audience.

4. Hit your target. Not a mass medium, mail is often most effective when it’s targeted by geographic (e.g., zip code), demographic (e.g., families with children ages 2-4) or other factors, like past purchase behavior or interest (e.g., canoeing enthusiasts).

5. Get “lumpy” to get responses. Studies by

Silver Marketing Group show the inclusion of a promotional item in a mailed envelope can increase responses by as much as 50%. Pens, bookmarks, magnets and calendars are affordable options.

6. Go ahead and get personal. Variable data printing enables you to personalize each mail piece with not only the recipient’s name but also a recent transaction or graphics that reflect their interests. Responses to relevant marketing campaigns are, on average, over four times that of responses to static, same-to-all messages, according to a Caslon benchmarking report.

7. Make responding easy. Offer multiple ways to respond. Include a business reply card, tollfree phone number and/or an online response mechanism via personalized URLs or a general campaign landing page. According to the Direct Marketing Association, 42% of direct mail recipients prefer to respond online.

8. Get creative with QR codes. A two-dimensional barcode that’s scannable by many smartphones, a QR or quick response code offers marketers more flexibility in messaging. Use QR codes to direct viewers to “premium” content, like a video, special discount offer or educational information.

Eighty-three percent of North American consumers are aware of QR codes, and 47% of

those have used their mobile device to scan one, says Brand Spark International.

9. Stay current. To eliminate outdated addresses, invest in the National Change of Address (NCOA) and CASS or SERP certification processes, or ask your marketing services provider to do it for you.

You’ll ensure higher deliverability in doing so.

10. Avoid duplication. Mailings addressed to Mr. Thomas Jones, Tom Jones and Miss Tom Jones that go to the same target are not only a waste of marketing dollars but also a potential turn-off.

It’s another great reason to maintain your house mailing list with an eye toward purging duplicate names.

The park not only benefits the a sense of place, increased property values and residents at Mountain View Meadows but the community building, Mark assumed the challenge to develop the park and to not wait the possible 20 or 30 years it might take for Helena to fund the project.

Mark and Rebecca envisioned building a park that promoted a healthy lifestyle with the potential to attract people with a variety of interests; a park that brought families and neighbors together to share and enjoy good times. So, together with professional land planner Jim Foley of the Foley Group in Billings they created Mountain View Park.

With more than 30 local businesses contributing professional services, supplies and labor for the park, along with excavation work by the Mountain View Meadows construction crew and months of landscaping work by Pro-Line Curbs, the development of the park not only benefits the people who will use it but also the local economy.

And as the residential community surrounding the park grows, Mountain View Meadows will continue to play a key role in providing opportunities for the building industry in Helena.

“I truly think this is development done right,” said Mayor Smith. “It is unprecedented what Runkle and Ryland have done in building this park and gifting it to the city. Parks build community.

Act Now to Protect Homeownership and the American Dream As our nation continues to recover from the housing market crisis, Congress is considering proposals to reform the housing finance system, which is the backbone of the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. The Senate Banking Committee recently passed bipartisan legislation that would fix our housing finance system and help preserve an important part of the American Dream. Now that legislation deserves an up or down vote on the Senate floor.

The Housing Finance Reform and Taxpayer Protection Act of 2014 (S. 1217) would breathe new life into the housing sector by providing a consistent and affordable supply of mortgage credit for singlefamily and multifamily housing. By providing certainty and stability to the marketplace, S. 1217 would expedite the housing recovery and allow countless creditworthy buyers who are currently unable to access mortgage credit to obtain home loans. This would prove particularly helpful to first-time home buyers and younger households, who are disproportionally hurt by today’s tight credit environment.

Homeownership has always been — and continues to be — the single best long-term investment for most Americans. It is a primary source of wealth and financial security for many households, helping to provide for education, retirement and more.

S. 1217 will help ensure that homeownership remains an attainable part of the American Dream by: • Ensuring that 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages remain readily available and affordable; • Encouraging more thorough, consistent and responsible mortgage underwriting; • Increasing private capital in the marketplace; and • Protecting American taxpayers.
