EDITORS’ NOTES

s you know, one of the biggest things to consider when renting is your choice of location. Unlike furniture, paint and being a good neighbour, it’s the one thing that you cannot change so it’s important to choose well. What are the critical things to consider when choosing a location? There are so many personal variables it’s really up to you to decide. As an example, if it is just as important to you to be close to your children’s school as it is to your place of work, then look for a place that offers you the best of both worlds. If you own a car and want to use public transportation whenever possible to save on parking and gas costs, a well-connected mass transit location may be a better option for you. If you’re a walker, close proximity to major amenities should be a definite consideration. Doing errands such as grocery shopping and banking on foot has many health benefits and gives you a chance to meet your neighbours and discover new places. Don’t let the cost of rent solely dictate your choice of location. Make a list of your priorities first, and then take the time to assess each location for its merits and weight your options.

o two apartments are the same, even though every renter is legally guaranteed the same rules, obligations and protection – by province. To find out specifics about your own province, you can look up the appropriate Residential Tenancies Act: British Columbia: www.rto.gov.bc.ca Alberta: www.servicealberta.gov.ab.ca/landlords_tenants.cfm Manitoba: www.gov.mb.ca/cca/rtb/ Ontario: www.ltb.gov.on.ca/ There are subtle variations between provinces – some have rent control, though most don’t. Some allow security deposits and/or key money, others don’t. Just because you’re familiar with the rules of one province, don’t assume they apply if you relocate to a different province, they may – but they may not or may be modified. The application, mediation and resolution systems are also different from province to province. Know your rights – and obligations. If you have a problem, the first person to approach is your property manager or landlord, depending on the size and arrangement of your rental. Most people are reasonable, when a problem arises it should be simple to come to a solution. Though nobody wants to be litigious – it’s both timeconsuming and can get quite expensive – put your communications in writing so that there is a record of the exchange. If a problem escalates or doesn’t seem to be getting the proper attention, make sure you chronicle the experience. If you do need to escalate the situation to mediation or legal action you will need as much supporting documentation as possible about the issue. But chances are it won’t come to that. Most landlords and property management teams make customer service – you – their top priority. With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect place. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Brampton

Convenience in the ‘Burbs’

by Ivan Sandoval

he Etobicoke River played a part in shaping much of what is Brampton. Never too strong to be used for milling operations, its humble nature nevertheless helped settle a population from the city over to its winding banks in the northwest end. The river passes right through one of Brampton’s most prominent rental districts at Steeles, where mediumsized apartment buildings join with townhouses, plazas, an industrial sector and a popular commercial area to create convenient living out in the ‘burbs. 8G

THE AREA Brampton has changed rapidly over the last decade. The word is out and people are making the move, having discovered it as an easy commute, a great lifestyle option and an impressive mix of urban and suburban. In the early years the Village of Brampton was incorporated in the 1850s and developed around Main and Queen, today the population tops half a million and Brampton is the third largest city in the GTA – and the ninth largest in Canada. The sprawl has led to numerous community centres; parks; industrial, commercial and financial developments; schools – including elementary, senior, public, private and also the post-secondary institution Sheridan College; as well as civic hubs like The Rose. Bound by Highway 50, Winston Churchill, Mayfield and the Hydro Corridor near Finch, Brampton includes great diversity and a lot of important destinations. By Kennedy, south of Steeles, the neighbourhood looks very much like a rural, Ontario town, as Kennedy becomes a quiet little road with lots of open space and the Etobicoke Creek providing fertile grounds with lots of trees and greenery.

Want to Live in the area? Check out these listings: KAnEFF 210 & 220 Steeles Ave W 905-654-1869 Just to the west is the Peel Village Golf Course. This nine-hole course is owned and managed by the city of Brampton, providing residents easy access to the greens. The area also features Visual Arts Brampton Creative Studios, offering excellent arts programming and exhibit space for residents of all ages and levels of ability. A bit further west, at McLaughlin Rd., Sheridan College Davis Campus is easily accessible and offers courses in business, community and liberal Studies, applied computing and engineering sciences, and supports student life with a variety of amenities. SHopping The Orion Gate Power Centre is gem in this neighbourhood, a newer outdoor plaza with tons of big box stores and amenities. The movie theatres and dining options make this a fun destination. Shoppers World also offers a great variety of stores and services and is right at Steeles and Main/Hurontario. HAving Fun Residents are fortunate enough to have at

their disposal the Brampton Sports Park on a quiet stretch of Kennedy Road south of Steeles that is visible from Highways 410 and 407. It is here where the Powerade Centre can be found, home to the OHL’s Brampton Battalion. The 5,000-seat arena includes three NHL-sized arenas, luxury suites, a bar and most importantly, 130acres of outdoor sports grounds. The outdoor portion includes five illuminated baseball diamonds, a cricket pitch, a rugby field and Peel Region’s Safety Village, a mini-city with actual mini-streets and stores where children walk bike and drive little electric cars to teach them the perils of traffic. REnTing AT KEnnEdy & STEElES Though located in the suburbs, this neighbourhood is very self-sufficient, being well serviced by Highways 410 and 407, and with Highway 401 close by to the south. Brampton Transit is very efficient and connects to Mississauga Transit, York Region Transit, GO Transit and Toronto’s TTC systems. Züm provides a great rapid transit system through Main/Hurontario/ Queen, making this suburban location full of convenience and charm.

THE DANIELS CORPORATION’S MITCHELL COHEN AWARDED A DIAMOND JUBILEE MEDAL

itchell Cohen, president of The Daniels Corporation has been awarded a Diamond Jubilee Medal at a recent ceremony hosted by the Hon. Bob Rae at the new Daniels Spectrum in Toronto’s Regent Park.

“It’s an honour to be among the Diamond Jubilee Medal recipients,” Mr. Cohen said.“Particularly now, in the midst of the revitalization of Regent Park, community-building and being part of the greater fabric of Canada are so important to me. I consider myself very fortunate to be so rewarded for work that I love to do.” MPP Glen Murray, Minister of Transportation and Minister of Infrastructure, presented Mr. Cohen with his medal. “Mitchell Cohen is an important contributor to Toronto, and a true community leader,” Minister Murray said.“He is a visionary who has changed the face of affordable housing in the GTA. Under his leadership, The Daniels Corporation offers generous support for causes like Second Harvest, Habitat for Humanity and various initiatives including the revitalization of Regent Park. He cares deeply about the people of Toronto, and it is an honour to celebrate his contributions with this medal.”

The new commemorative medal was created to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s ascension to the throne, and personally approved by Her Majesty. It was unveiled in February 2011 by Governor General David Johnston and Prime Minister Stephen Harper. As part of the Diamond Jubilee Year celebrations, the medal will be awarded to 60,000 Canadians who have made significant contributions to their communities and country, or whose achievements abroad have brought credit to Canada. About The Daniels Corporation: The Daniels Corporation (www.danielshomes. ca) is one of Canada’s preeminent builder/developers with a reputation for quality and integrity in all forms of residential construction. Named the Tarion Warranty Corporation’s 2012 High Rise Builder of the Year and the recipient of the 2012 Toronto Arts and Business Award presented by the Toronto Arts Foundation, Daniels has built more than 23,000 homes throughout the GTA. Daniels was chosen to partner with Toronto Community Housing to revitalize Regent Park – 69 acres in Toronto’s Downtown East.

The SAVVY

APARTMENT Shopper Use all the resources at hand and make quality a key part of your decision criteria

by Ted WhiTehead

hen looking for rental accommodations, particularly in an area that’s unfamiliar to you, it’s wise to use every resource available to find an apartment that is within your budget and fulfills your lifestyle needs.

Nowadays, a growing number of rentalhousing consumers are using the Internet, as their information search source for locating an apartment. If you're moving to a new city or town, most provinces and local municipalities have general information websites with links that provide a direct click to available rental information sites in the area, Once you arrive at the selected sites, you can generally click on the type of apartment and location you’re looking for, and do some preliminary ‘shopping’ online. The benefit to online listings is that they are generally kept current. Well-respected media such as Renters Guide and homeTRADER.ca can also be a big help. These sources are widely used by apartment-shoppers. Word-of-mouth continues to be a great method to find a good apartment at a reasonable rate. Ask family members, colleagues and friends if they know of good rentals available in the area where you want to live. If you’ve located an apartment and wonder what it’s like to live there, ask tenants who enter or leave the building for their opinions. Other important considerations for any savvy apartment seeker are the quality of the home you plan to select and the quality of service you will receive once you have selected your chosen area. Now, there is an effective tool to help you find the perfect apartment and enjoy increased peace of mind in your decision – the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP). The first of its kind in North

see whether the buildings that you are considering have that on hand. You can also visit the website www.crbprogram. org, where you can search for an apartment in a certified building by geographic location, name or the management company. If you have located a building in one of the other ways mentioned above, you would be wise to check the CRB Program website to check and see whether the building has passed the certification process. Either way, this new “quality assurance” standard can help you make your final decision with confidence. To be certified, apartment owners/applicants must agree to maintain a certain standard in areas such as Human Rights Code, tenant servicing, fire and building code compliance, staff training policies, proper safety procedures, information and privacy law compliance, financial management, insurance, and employee relations. The program is audited by the well-respected third-party auditors J.D. Power & Associates. There is also a mandatory training and education component that all property management staff must complete.

America, the program from the Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) promotes best practices when it comes to operating apartment buildings in Ontario. A CRBP building is well run and well managed. It is in good repair and the management ensures that the required safety standards are met. Property owners and managers in this program follow FRPO’s established Standards of Practice, which help to establish and maintain a high quality of life for renters. You can use the CRBP in three different ways. Certified buildings all display the program’s seal of approval, so you can

quicktips

A dose of reality by Hellen Buttigieg You wAnt everYthing to fit AwAY neAtlY,

display perfectly and know exactly where everything is when you need it. That’s what being organized is all about. But is that realistic? Each space, person and system is different. What worked for some may not work for you. You may have limitations on space or be too overwhelmed by stuff for a quick fix. The demands on your lifestyle and your family’s needs may outweigh the space in your home. Being organized doesn’t happen overnight and it doesn’t have a finish line. Getting organized is a process; learn what works for you. Keeping it real. You’ll never get organized. Read that again. Yes, that’s what I said. You’ll never get organized, because being perfectly organized is not a realistic expectation. Just to be clear, organization is not a destination. You don’t just wake up one day and find that you’ve arrived. It’s a process – a work in progress. So if you are judging yourself against unrealistic expectations, or holding back on pursuing a goal because you are waiting until you “get organized, once and for all,” perhaps it’s time to look at things differently. Instead of trying to get organized, strive to become more organized every day. Doesn’t that feel more attainable? Instead of feeling stuck, you’ll be able to take a step forward. Use your instincts. Are you surrounded by piles of papers on your desk, your floor and any other flat surface in your office? Don’t fight your instincts, work with them. Rather than trying to adapt to traditional ways of filing, such as using a lateral filing cabinet, use horizontal methods instead. Use stacking trays or literature sorters, which can be placed on your desk or installed on the wall. Now label them with the categories you use most. It will be easier to adapt to filing papers when you don’t have to change your piling habit. Let go and let it flow. Are you holding on to things that you’ll never use again? People often unconsciously jam their homes full of stuff because the sheer volume gives them a feeling of comfort and security. If you are operating from a need for abundance, remember that your success as a person has nothing to do with all the outdated or rarely used stuff overflowing from your closets. In fact, it’s 40G

probably blocking your prosperity. Let go of what you don’t need to make room for new things to come into your life. Plan before de-cluttering. Before beginning any de-cluttering project, determine in advance how you will dispose of the items you no longer want. If you have valuable pieces and would like to sell them, decide whether you will do this yourself or hire someone to do it for you. If you would like them to go to charity, which one and where is it located? Some charities will pick up, so call them to find out when they will be in your area. It’s not until those boxes and bags leave your home that you will reap the full rewards of de-cluttering. Planning in advance will curb procrastination and ensure you fully complete the task. feeling stuck? If you find yourself backsliding when it comes to maintaining your organizing systems, don’t berate yourself, as this will sap your energy and prevent you from doing anything about it. Rather than dwelling on what went wrong, focus instead on what needs to be done. Just say “oops” and move on to taking action.

Find the right

neighbourhood By Jane Herman

hoosing the right neighbourhood or location is as important as the apartment you live in. Your community or neighbourhood impacts significantly on your lifestyle by virtue of its proximity to work, school, transportation, shopping and recreation, along with family and friends. . Living in a dynamic urban setting that’s dominated by students and young professionals, within walking distance of the subway, community centre, great restaurants, shops and entertainment offers the opportunity for a different lifestyle than a quiet suburban setting where you might have more need for a car to get around, and find a high concentration of families and retirees. Before you begin to search for an apartment, it’s a good idea to establish what kind of neighbourhood you would best enjoy living in and what kind of lifestyle best suits your needs. Start with a good map of the general area – either printed or virtual– and make a list of potential neighbourhoods in which you could consider searching. You may want to be near the nightlife. You may want to be near the financial centre. You may want to choose an area based on specific places of worship or cultural offerings. If you have friends, relatives or co-workers who live in a particular area ask them what they like about the area they are living in; this will help you decide if it’s right for you. If you are moving to begin a new job, your employer may be able to collect information on your behalf. Prime

48G

locations, especially those near public transit or major highways often cost more but offer many advantages, such as reduced commuting time. Use the Internet to research potential neighbourhoods. Many real estate professionals have online neighbourhood directories that will give you some background about the special character and features of a neighbourhood you might want to consider. Prepare a list of locations that best match your personal needs and then add secondary locations that you would also consider. When evaluating a prospective neighbourhood the most important factors to consider are: • Safety. How safe is the neighbourhood?

• What kind of recreation facilities are available in the neighbourhood? Where is the nearest branch of the public library and community centre, if these are important to you? • How do the noise levels vary at different times of the day and would this be a factor? • If you are a walker or if you have a dog, is the neighbourhood accessible to scenic walking trails, off-leash areas or greenspace? • If you have health issues and need to be close to a medical clinic or hospital, is the facility close by?

• Access to public transportation and major highways

• What is the general ambience of the area? Is the apartment in a primarily residential or commercial district?

• Distance to work or school and travel time either by car or public transportation

• If you need to be close to an older parent or relative, this may also impact on your decision.

• If you have children, where would they attend school? Take some time to carefully research the schools in the neighbourhood. What parks areas are nearby? • If you require day care, what facilities are available? • How is the traffic in the area? • How are the grocery shopping and other necessary services such as banks, post office, dry cleaners, pharmacy, cinema and restaurants?

If you are looking to relocate to another city or province due to work or school, the Internet (Ed’s note: therentersguide. ca is a great source) offers many sites that provide listings of apartments as well as information about the general rental climate in any given area. Depending on the site you may be able to search by province, region or major cities. Some specialized rental sites may include photographs, descriptions, links to floor plans and even virtual tours. Narrowing your search down to two or three neighbourhoods at the beginning will help simplify the process.

Conquer Clutter this spring

Tips for a tidy home

pring is traditionally a time to freshen your house from top to bottom. This year, the cleaning and organizing specialists at Molly Maid have some easy and inexpensive ideas to get your home clutter free and organized. Before cleaning, try these tips:

Hanging shoe organizers make great storage for cleaning supplies, kidsâ€™ toys, toiletries and yes, even shoes! In the kitchen, these handy organizers can hold spice jars, even small utensils. No more mismatched sheets. Keep sheet sets together by tucking top and fitted sheets into their matching pillow case. Cleanse your closet. Spring is a great time to give your closet the once over. Decide if you want to keep, toss or donate items that are seldom or never worn. Storing belts, scarves and ties is easy when you attach round shower curtain hooks to hangers. Belts wonâ€™t fall down and fabrics will be crease free. Decorate and organize at the same time. Attach stuffed toys to a strip of velcro in the play room to create a fun way to display kidsâ€™ favourite plush toys. Corral metal clippers, nail files, and hair elastics in one handy place - secure a magnetic strip inside the medicine cabinet. Voila! Store rolls of wrapping paper in a garment bag and vow to never juggle loose rolls again. Packing a suitcase? Stuff shoes with socks or other small items. Then put each pair of shoes inside a shower cap to prevent clothes from getting dirty. For more organizing and decluttering tips, visit mollymaid.ca

moving

avoid common

packing mistakes by Dan Hopkins

ore than 4 million people moved residences in Canada last year, many of whom did the packing themselves. For some, it works out fine; others have problems resulting from a lack of foresight, poorly packed boxes and inexperience in loading moving trucks.

82G

moving

Here a re a few tips to help you avoid finding damaged items at your destination: 1. Consider purchasing boxes from your mover. The most common packing mistake we see is people getting free boxes at the grocery or liquor store and then putting too much weight in them. For example, using a large box to pack books and magazines may make it too heavy to lift, and the box might break during the move due to the weight. Use this rule of thumb: the heavier the item, the smaller the box. Be choosy about your boxes; free boxes from a grocery store that have been used to ship produce could contain insect larvae that may transfer to your belongings. 2. Be realistic about the number of boxes you need. Depending on how long you have lived in your current location, you will most likely underestimate your boxes requirement.Often, we hear of renters who think 40 or 50 boxes will be enough, and then realize they need upwards of 80, two days before moving day. 3. Start packing early and be completely packed when the movers arrive. Sometimes we arrive at a customer’s home and they’re not packed. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to move a customer’s belongings while they are attempting to shove items into boxes and we get in each others’ way. This also interferes with the optimal loading of the moving truck. We have a loading system where the first things we place in the truck are light items such as chairs, lampshades, cushions, etc; we place these items in the ‘attic’ (the area over the cab) of the truck. We can get lots of light items up there and they stay secure. Next, we create a ‘box wall’ stacked to the ceiling to hold the items in the attic in place. We then stand plastic

wrapped mattresses against the box wall and secure everything with tie-off straps to keep belongings from getting jostled during the move. If you’re not completely packed and ready on moving day, we can’t create that box wall early on and, this decreases the capacity of the items that can be moved at one time. It also eats up precious time and, therefore, money! 4. Think ahead. Begin packing items you don’t use daily. As you pack your boxes move them to the front of your apartment and stack them along a wall near the front door. Having them by the door, organized and ready to go, instead of having movers go back and forth to each room can shave 10 to 20 seconds off the time for each box. Saving 20 seconds per box can save lots of time – and money.

5. Consider having your moving company pack for you. We are skilled, have more experience and have standard-size small, medium and large boxes that are designed to fit into our trucks to create a perfect box wall for optimum efficiency and safety. So, when it comes to moving, forethought goes a long way. Because your belongings mean a lot to you, take extra care when packing so that they arrive at your destination safely.

5 tips for decorating

small spaces by lisa canning

Small SpaceS are more and more common,

and making these spaces work can be a challenge. With careful space planning and ingenious multi-functional products, you can have all the function and style in any square footage. TIp #1: STarT WITH a rIGHT-SIZed SoFa The sofa is often a great place to start when planning a small space, as it usually takes up the most mass, and it is also the easiest piece to purchase incorrectly. A sofa that is too large in a given space can feel cumbersome. Conversely, a sofa that is too small can feel like dollhouse furniture. Luckily, many retailers make it easier to make the right choice by carrying apartment-sized, or condo-appropriate pieces, which are often smaller-scale translations of their most popular lines. And of course, many apartment/condo-sized sofas can also be purchased with a sofa bed option to give you the flexibility of creating a guest room in your small space. TIp #2: USe clear FUrnITUre What’s great about furniture made out of glass or acrylic is that it doesn’t take up much visual space. A ghost chair or a waterfall table will give you an instant modern update and provide great function while keeping the space feeling light. In spaces that have gorgeous large windows, place pieces that are clear directly in front, since they won’t obstruct the view. TIp #3: Wall-moUnTed lIGHTInG A layered lighting plan is something I always recommend to clients, but in a small space this approach is especially advantageous. Rather than opting for a floor lamp with mass, weight and that takes up floor area, sconces give you ambient lighting while saving space. I love the architectural detail sconces provide and often use them on either end of a gallery wall or sofa. 102G

TIp #4: WorK WITH pIeceS THaT are mUlTIFUncTIonal In a space that might be too small for a home office, or a formal dining room, I have some great innovative products to share. The first is the Functional Coffee Table from BoConcept. At first glance, it looks like a sleek, minimal coffee table. But with an easy lift, it reveals a desk-height table and ample storage. Storage will always be an issue in small spaces, so anything that will serve a function and provide storage is a great addition. Another incredible product on the market is the Lacuna table by VNO Designs. This innovative product begins as a piece of customizable art on the wall. With the release of a latch, the art piece lowers to reveal a concealed leg and becomes a dining table for five. For people who don’t formally entertain often, or for those living in really limited space, this is a unique space-saving solution. TIp #5: WorK WITH SmarT SToraGe SYSTemS Great interior storage is just as important as utilizing multi-functional storage. Drawer dividers, shelf dividers and small storage boxes are great tools to use to increase your storage space. The more levels you can create within a drawer, the more items can be stored and easily found. I love using small stackable, acrylic storage compartments to divide my drawers. Style doesn’t stop at the exterior of a piece – allow your furniture to function at its best by investing in interior organization.

LesLie styLes, foodie & traveL aficionado, shares some deLicious dishes found on her traveLs around the worLd.

aLoo Gobi w it h Pe as

directions

Cut the cauliflower into small florets, no larger than one and a half inches. Cut the potatoes in a half-inch dice. Soak in water to stop them discolouring if not using immediately. Warm the oil in a good-size frying pan over medium. When hot, put in the asafoetida, then a second later the mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds begin to pop, put in the kari leaves stirring once or twice Now put in the potatoes, turmeric, salt and sugar and stir fry until the potatoes are lightly golden and brown but still quite firm, about 10 minutes. Then add the cauliflower and peas, stirring occasionally, about five minutes. Add a half of cup water and stir. As soon as the water starts to bubble, cover and turn the heat to med-low. Cook 10 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are just done. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and stir

Serve hot as a side dish with Grilled Chicken Tikka.

staple in most Indian restaurants, Aloo Gobi is an aromatic combination of spiced aloo (potato) and gobi (cauliflower), made even more popular with Gurinder Chadha’s 2002 film, Bend it Like Beckham, a wonderful heartwarming comedy about bending the rules to reach your goal. The film follows two 18-year-old girls who have their heart set on a future in professional soccer, as opposed to finding a nice Indian boyfriend, settling down and cooking the perfect chapatti. There is a quirky cooking segment at the end of the film where the director of the film, Gurinder Chadha, makes her recipe for Aloo Gobi with the help of her outrageously interfering mother and auntie. Ever since I saw that segment, and having had the dish while in India recently, I have wanted to make Aloo Gobi, and so I did. It was absolutely delicious. With its rich texture, complex flavours and intoxicating aroma, this recipe for Aloo Gobi tastes as fabulous as it looks.

COOK’S NOTE: Asafoetida and Kari leaves are available in any Indian grocery store, however you could use onion powder instead of Asafoetida and bay leaves in lieu of kari leaves.

ingredients serves 4-6 › ½ cauliflower head

› 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)

› 5 medium Yukon potatoes

› ¼ tsp turmeric

› 1/3 cup vegetable oil

› ¼ tsp salt

› 1/8 tsp asafoetida

insideradvice

Rent vs Buy The rental lifestyle is full of opportunity by Elisa Krovblit

enting is being rediscovered – and finally being recognized for the beneficial lifestyle it offers. Whether it’s a family rental, luxury rental, for students or professionals, it’s got a lot to offer. Historically, there was a point when renting was a likely option for most people. Somewhere along the way, many started viewing it as a less desirable choice – people only rent if they can’t buy. Perhaps low interest rates made it easy for real estate agents to promote the fact that a mortgage could carry like rent. Maybe it was that rapid population increases in urban centres provided an ideal opportunity for developers to make money building and selling condos. Or it might have been plain snob appeal in “pride of ownership.” Regardless, the image of renting was tarnished along the way. Until now. At a recent symposium presented by BILD – ironically enough Toronto’s Building

116G

Industry and Land Development Association – the keynote speakers acknowledged and even supported the sentiment that renting is beneficial – and a better option than buying for some people. In fact, more than one question from the audience yielded the response that there is a time/place/lifestyle that would more greatly benefit from renting as opposed to buying. At the symposium,“Rent Vs. Buy” (those on Twitter can do a hashtag search #YBforum and #rentvsbuy for some very insightful thoughts and responses), Andy Brethour and Derek Lobo were the perfect keynote speakers. Well-known and well-respected long-time members of the real estate industry, Brethour is president of PMA Brethour Realty Group, one of Canada’s leading real estate brokerage and research firms. Lobo is the founder and CEO of ROCK Apartment Advisors Inc. – a real estate firm focusing on the apartment industry, and DALA Group of Companies, a multi-residential consulting firm. While it’s important to emphasize nobody was advising not to buy, the constant stronghold was that renting is definitely more than just a default for people who can’t afford to own. Danny Roth, president of Brandon Communications, moderated the symposium and offered the most poignant question of the entire debate: “Do you rent or own?” While the audience in general seemed to have more owners than renters (not much of a shock at a symposium for land developers) there was actually a substantial number of hands raised

change up their assets or access their money as they need it for other lifestyle choices and big purchases. Renting, Lobo explained, can also be preferable to ownership, depending on lifestyle. For those who want to move around, who are just starting out in their career or on their own – or those who know their situation will be changing up in the near future – renting is a wiser choice. Buying and selling on a short-term basis is costprohibitive. And for those who really want to buy, buying prematurely puts them at a disadvantage. They can rent, save the difference to put towards a down payment and buy when they’re in the right place financially to afford what they want for the long term.

indicating renters. When Brethour and Lobo were asked, Brethour responded he was an owner, but Lobo responded that he was a renter. He and his wife were, as he put it,“rattling around in a big empty home,” and it was time for a move. The kids had grown up and moved on and the home was just too large, no longer meeting their needs. They sold and chose to rent a smaller home on the street as a transition to downsizing. Brethour quipped to Lobo “I hope you freed up capital and bought something with it!” And there’s the decisive issue when it comes to renting versus buying. Buying is a financial decision that supports a living arrangement. Homeowners choose to invest their money in real estate. Renting is also a financial decision – renters have opted not to invest in real estate and still need living accommodations. But they have money freed up to invest elsewhere. Renting, overall, is viewed as a less expensive alternative to owning. The financial benefit is that renters can take the money they are saving and properly invest it. While homeowners have a bulk of their finances tied up in a single asset, renters can diversify, quickly

And those real estate agents who capitalized on the idea that a mortgage carries like rent? They prove that good marketing can sway the masses. While interest rates are historically low, then yes, you can compare mortgage payments to rent. A $400,000 mortgage carries for $1,892 per month (three per cent over 25 years in a five-year fixed mortgage). But renters know that the rest of their bills are fairly unchanging, especially if their rent includes utilities. Homeowners have to budget for property tax, land transfer tax, homeowners insurance – which is much higher than tenants insurance – water, trash removal, utilities, maintenance, gardening, appliances and more. So, the costs of carrying a house are clearly higher, even if the mortgage payment looks comparable to the rental payment. And that doesn’t take into account that mortgage rates have nowhere to go but up. It catches a lot of people off guard come renewal time – even a couple percentage points can make a major dent in a tight budget. But imagine what will happen if a bank rate of say three per cent doubles – at six per cent that mortgage then becomes $2,104; or triples to nine per cent and becomes $3,311. Historically it’s been even higher than nine so the potential is there.

The demand for rentals is great. Lobo noted that the last two buildings he sold were done so before they were even built. Across Canada, there have been only 400 purpose-built rental buildings constructed in the past decade. Demand is definitely strong, and landlords know it. Brethour and Lobo both discussed the low vacancy rate and the challenges the rental industry faces from rent control laws, which have played an influential role in Ontario. Prior to 1975, Lobo explained, there was no rent control and landlords were able to increase their tenants’ rents every year when the lease came up. When rent control was introduced, in order to avoid discouraging developers from building new rental apartments, the province made a concession to forever exempt new buildings from the rent control rules. However, as Lobo pointed out,“forever” ended in 1985 when the premier decided to crusade for rent control – and even applied it retroactively to the previously exempt buildings. When rent control proved to effectively stave off interest in new apartment building construction, the rent control laws were revised, with the Rent Control act in 1992 and again with the Tenant Protection Act in 1997. Our current Residential Tenancies Act replaced both in 2006, but what came out of these various acts was to establish a permanent exemption for rent control on any residential build from 1998 on. This includes condo suite rentals and purpose-built rental apartment buildings. Ultimately, renting is a choice – a very good one for some – affording freedom to move around easily, to maximize a budget, to live in neighbourhoods where purchasing might be financially prohibitive or simply unavailable. It’s the standard in many places, from New York City to London to Tokyo. Enjoy the freedom, convenience, flexibility and pride of rentership!

Chocolate traditions STAND THE TEST OF TIME Chocolate has been enjoyed for centuries â€“ and its origins are fascinating. The fermented, roasted, and ground beans of the Theobroma cacao plant can be traced to the Mokaya and other preOlmec people of Mexico and Western Guatemala, with evidence of cacao beverages dating back to 1900 BC. Chocolate played a special role in both Maya and Aztec ceremonies. Priests presented cacao seeds as offerings to the gods and served chocolate drinks during sacred ceremonies. All of the regions that grew cacao beans and were conquered by the Aztecs were ordered to pay them as a tax, or as the Aztecs called it, a â€œtributeâ€?.

The Europeans put their own special twist on chocolate, sweetening and enriching it by adding refined sugar and milk, two ingredients unknown to the people of Mesoamerica. Early Europeans never included chocolate in their everyday diet, reserving it instead as sweets and desserts. For hundreds of years, the chocolate-making process remained unchanged. When the industrial revolution arrived, many changes occurred that brought the hard, sweet candy to life. New machines were produced, and people began experiencing and consuming chocolate worldwide. Not long after the revolution cooled down, companies such as Laura Secord, which was established in Canada in 1913, began to sell many of the chocolate treats we still enjoy today, including white, milk, and dark confections, plus baking chocolate for home-made creations. Over the past 100 years as you may have noted, several chocolate recipes have stood the test of time. The classic warm cup of hot chocolate topped off with marshmallows is now considered as a great way to end a day. Another quintessential chocolate recipe is the chocolate chip cookie. When it comes to chocolate lovers, the bigger the morsel the better, says Laura Secord, who offers big chocolate drops for at-home bakers. NC

Surprisingly easy home-makeover tips

our home is a reflection of your personality and it’s easier than you think to let your style shine through. Award-winning interior decorator Laura Stein shares her surprisingly simple design secrets to help freshen up any room. You can find even more tips at www.vim.ca. Here’s a snapshot:

Accessorize seasonally Help keep your rooms looking trendy and fresh by switching out pillows and accessories according to the season. In the spring, highlight your room with bright sunny tropical colours like yellow, orange, turquoise or fuchsia. In the fall, deep plum and burnt orange hues will add warmth to the space. Add some mood-lighting Proper lighting can really enhance the ambience in all areas of the home. Adding dimmers to your light switches is an easy upgrade that can instantly change the mood. Make old look new again Are scuffmarks and stains making your walls look dingy and any rooms unappealing? A high quality cream cleanser will help to keep your walls, baseboards and trim looking like new without having to re-paint. For example, Vim lemon cream has micro-scrubbing particles that remove 100 per cent of dirt to clean your walls and to leave your rooms looking and smelling fresh. Storage solutions Don’t treat a closet or drawer as a catchall for clutter. Clean and freshen up by getting organized with unique storage solutions, such as organizers or storage systems for toys or seasonal gear. Little touches Spiff up your bathroom with designer touches like rolled hand-towels in baskets, coordinating containers on a beautiful tray and fresh-cut flowers. NC

Get out of ODIOUS OVERDRAFT B Y GAI L VAZ -OX LADE

he families I work with are often in overdraft at some point in their month. Some of them spend virtually the whole month in overdraft. And some have no overdraft protection (or the wrong plan) so they end up paying exorbitant fees. You’ve no doubt seen me give people the What For because they’ve been racking up $300/month bank fees. What a waste of money!

Being in overdraft is a strong indication that you’re not: a) living within your means, and b) keeping track your expenses. If you want to get out of overdraft and back into the black, it will likely take some belt-tightening for a few months. Here’s how to do it. Make a list of your monthly Fixed Essential Expenses… The bills that you have to cover every month like your mortgage and car payment, your minimums on your debt and your childcare expenses. Total it up. Make a list of your monthly Variable Essential Expenses…The costs that you simply can’t avoid, like food and gas. Be careful now, we’re not talking fancy food and lotsnlotsa gas… we’re talking the bare minimums to get you through the month. There’s no clothing, no movies, no shopping at all on this list. Total it up. Subtract these two totals from your income. How much do you have left? If you don’t have enough to cover the unessential expenses in your life – the fancy cell phone, the uppity satellite service, and the like, you can see your problem. Time to cut back on the niceto-haves until you’re out of the hole. Change your services to the most basic you can get away with. Commit to living on this very harsh, very tight budget for a month. Just one month. Take all the rest of the money you make and stick it in an envelope, a jar, or a high interest savings account… as long as you don’t spend it. Clearly you’re not allowed to use your credit during this process. You’re, in essence, having a No Shop Month. When you get to the end of the month, add up how much you’ve got left after all your bills have been paid. Is it enough to cover your overdraft? If it is, then you’ll have to live through this belt-tightening

horror for one more month to build up the buffer you need to never go into overdraft again. If it’s not, you may have to feel the pain for a couple more months until you’re in the clear. From here forward, you want that buffer stored in an account that’s linked to your primary transaction account so that if you see your account running a little low, you can transfer some money from your buffer account to keep you afloat. You are also going to become meticulous at tracking your spending. (http:// gailvazoxlade.com/blog/archives/719) After all, you don’t want to have to go through this pain again, right? Some people create a buffer in their transaction account to prevent overdrafts, keeping, let’s say $100 in the chequing account that they never allow themselves to spend. If their balance ever falls below that $100, they

simply stop spending. While they’re not overdrawn as far as the bank is concerned – so there are no fees – they’re overdrawn in their own eyes and go without until the next paycheque hits the bank. Getting out from under the Odious Overdraft is not easy task. But you can do it if you’re determined to stop paying the bank for your lack of self-control. Yes, it’ll hurt for a month or four. But the relief of being back in the black is fabulous. Let me know how it goes.

SAVING MONEY ON INSURANCE IN 2013 2)

If youâ€™re planning to go away, be sure to call your insurance provider: Before leaving, itâ€™s important to notify your insurance company.

For example, if you vacate your house for more than 30 days without informing your insurance company, you would be violating your policy. This is particularly important if your house is burglarized during this period because thereâ€™s a good chance your claim wouldnâ€™t be covered.

Secure your cottage at the end of the season: Hereâ€™s a brief check list to help you stay organized:

tâ€™s hard to believe that the first quarter of 2013 is almost over. If youâ€™re like millions of other Canadians, you probably made a resolution back on January 1 to save more money and reduce your debt. Well, howâ€™s it going so far? Remember that reaching this particular finish-line requires discipline and diligence. It also helps to know a few moneysaving tips, so the experts from Desjardins Insurance have put together a few to help you save on your home and car insurance.

Choose the right home insurance: Take your time, do your research and be selective. Donâ€™t let a lower price be your only guide, as coverage varies by company. For example, some insurers provide certain types of water damage protection, while others donâ€™t. Itâ€™s also important to make a list of your needs and personal items before you get a quote. Being thorough from the start makes it easier to compare companies.

Use winter tires: Quite simply, winter tires are designed to save lives. They are made from innovative rubber compounds that are softer and

Another benefit of using winter tires is that some insurance companies will reward their clients with a discount on their auto insurance.

Finally, consider combining your home and auto insurance: In some cases you may be eligible for a reduced rate by joining your car and

home insurance, especially if youâ€™ve been with your insurer for a while. Another simple way to increase your auto insurance savings and enjoy greater convenience is to consider insuring all of your personal vehicles with one provider.

What to look for in an apartment BY JANE HERMAN

re you feeling a little overwhelmed by the challenge of trying to find an apartment? Even wading through all of the ads and listings in Renters Guide can be daunting, unless you understand how they are organized. But where do you start? The first criteria in your decision should be price: How much can you realistically afford to spend per month? Most financial planners recommend that your rent (not including extras such as parking, hydro, cable, etc.) should amount to less than 30 per cent of your monthly income. This may be hard to achieve, but thinking about how much you can spend on rent will also help you to set up a budget. Include all expenses you’ll be responsible for each month (food, utilities, telephone, transportation, laundry, parking, etc.) and other, annual or variable expenses, such as clothing, moving expenses, renter’s insurance, savings, recreation, entertainment, etc. The more you spend on rent, the less you’ll have available for other things. Next, determine what area you want to live in. How will you determine where to look? If you are new to the area, you may want to live near friends or relatives, within a certain commuting radius of work or school. If you have children, do you want to live in a particular school district? Are parks and play areas nearby? Is proximity to the transit or a major highway may be a priority Is the area convenient to shopping, library, recreation facilities, entertainment, restaurants, etc. What are the traffic patterns in the neighbourhood? How is the traffic at rush hour? How are the noise levels in the area at different times of the day, and would this be a factor in your decision? With these factors in mind, make a list of several different neighbourhoods in which you could look: Area 1: ________________________ Area 2: ________________________ Area 3: ________________________ Type of accommodation: Many apartments are in highrises. A highrise building is one that is six or more storeys, has elevators, security, laundry

facilities, and, frequently, sports and/or recreation facilities and other amenities, as well as efficient electrical, heating and plumbing systems. A walk-up or low-rise would be less than five storeys high, may have no elevator and few conveniences. However, the rent would generally be less at this type of apartment than at a highrise building in the same area. Other kinds of apartments you could rent include: A basement apartment is a basement in a house that has been converted to an apartment. It may have a separate entrance. The apartment may have its own bathroom, kitchen, laundry room and heating system, or it may share those amenities with the rest of the home. A low rise apartment building may also have basement apartments. A duplex, triplex or fourplex is a group of two, three or four apartments together in the same building. Apartment Features Search through the Renters Guide listings to find those that match your criteria. They are organized by area. You should also use Renters Guide companion website, hometrader.ca. It is an excellent source of apartment listings, also organized by area. You can also find potential apartments by walking around or driving through the area you have chosen, or through word of mouth. If a friend or relative is happy living in a particular building, chances are you will be too. When you go to look at apartments, inspect them thoroughly before you sign the lease or give a first month’s rental deposit. Some landlords have a condition checklist on which to record details upon move in and move out. Be sure to inspect walls, floors, bathroom and kitchen faucets and fixtures, appliances, windows, doors, etc. Make sure you note such things as the condition of the property and the building. Note the size and location of the closets. You may want to take along a tape measure to see how your furniture might work in the space. If you go through the process carefully, chances are you’ll be more satisfied with your decision after you move in.

Packing Tips and List I^eh id bV`Z ndjg bdkZ V a^iiaZ ZVh^Zg# PACKING TIPS

P P

Gather boxes in all sizes from friends, neighbors, and stores.

Create a “portable packing kit” with marking pens, a tape measure, packing tape, twine, and scissors. Carry it with you as you pack up items around your home.

P P P P P P P P P

Reinforce the bottom of boxes with extra tape for added strength.

Don’t move flammable, combustible, corrosive, or explosive items such as paint, gasoline, and ammunition.

Pack a bag of personal items you’ll need during the move (change of clothes, toiletries, medicine, maps, food, and drinks). Keep it in an easy-to-find place when you pack

Collect cushioning material such as bubble wrap, foam pellets, furniture pads, old blankets, plastic bags, tissue paper, newspapers, and small towels to use as padding inside boxes.

Label each box with the name of the room in your new home where it should be placed. List the contents of the box on the side of it. Number the boxes and keep a list of which boxes go in which room in your new home. Label boxes containing fragile items with large red lettering. Place china in plastic bags and stack plates upright on their sides, not flat. Pack your TV, stereo, and computer in their original boxes whenever possible. Keep boxes to 50 pounds or less. Pack heavy items into their own smaller boxes and place lighter items together into larger boxes. (Hint-Don’t pack all your books into one box!)

GENERAL MOVING TIPS

P Disconnect and bundle cords on television and stereo components. Label each cord with masking tape and a description of where to connect it.

P Plan and measure where you furniture will be placed in your new home. It’s helpful to draw a layout of your new home and sketch in the major furniture pieces.

P To save time on moving day, move your boxes from the basement, upstairs, or attic to the main floor prior to the move date. Consider carrying items from the back yard to the front yard or garage ahead of time.

P Keep your phone connected through moving day to stay in touch with friends, family and the moving company.

I LIKE, I TWEET, I PIN, I DO David’s Bridal Poll reveals rising use of social media for Canadian weddings THE RULES OF WEDDING ETIQUETTE ARE QUICKLY CHANGING AS MORE COUPLES ARE USING SOCIAL MEDIA FOR ANNOUNCING, planning, and celebrating weddings, according to a David’s Bridal poll of 1,262 Canadian brides released recently. With a quarter of those surveyed getting engaged over the holidays (28 per cent), weddings seem ready-made for social media sharing – or oversharing, depending on how you look at it – and we may be seeing more couples logging into Facebook from the ceremony, reception or honeymoon.

tools and apps to not only plan their big day, but are also integrating it into their wedding.”

“Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting times for a couple, and it’s only natural that some brides want to share the news and all the details with their friends, family and followers via social media channels,” said Victoria Rucks, district manager at David’s Bridal Canada.“While some brides are more private, our poll shows that social media may be turning a traditional wedding on its head as many use various

Ms. Rucks added,“In David’s Bridal stores across the country, we are seeing more of our brides seeking social tools for collaboration and inspiration so they can create a personalized wedding

With 45 per cent of couples now setting up both special wedding sites and online registries, it’s clear that social media is valuable to those polled. Newly-engaged brides are also turning to social media to get inspired with wedding ideas (62 per cent), source vendors via Facebook (43 per cent), download wedding planning apps (35 per cent) and manage RSVPs online (24 per cent).

celebration. Our brand promise begins with helping Canadian brides find the dress of their dreams and it continues with providing a variety of digital tools that support them with everything from budgeting, to sharing photos on Pinterest, to assigning tasks to the bridal party – all while staying connected with friends and family.” Top Trends for Social Brides Aside from helping to plan their weddings, David’s Bridal has pulled together the top trends for how today’s Canadian brides are using social media for everything after saying “yes” until they say,“I do.” The new norm for announcing engagements: When asked about how to share the news of their engagement, the majority of Canadian brides think it is okay to announce via Facebook (68 per cent), email (67 per cent) or text (59 per cent), but they draw the line at Twitter and Instagram as approximately six in 10 thought it was tacky to announce using these media sources. Couples stay online on their Wedding Day: While the majority of brides don’t plan on logging into their social networks on their wedding day (58 per cent), a whopping one in five (21 per cent) plans on staying connected and sharing their news with everyone on the big day. The New Honeymoon: A honeymoon retreat may no longer be a time to disconnect from the world. Surprisingly, one-third of brides plan on logging into their networks during their time away and one in five plans to share status updates. Almost half the brides (43 per cent) are sharing photos of their honeymoons online.

Brides update their Facebook status quickly: While only five per cent of brides updated their Facebook relationship statuses within minutes of saying yes to their fiancés, nearly one in five (18 per cent) did so within hours of getting engaged and another 15 per cent updated the day after. The large majority (43 per cent) updated their status within the week. At the same time, over one third (36 per cent) of newlyweds updated their relationship status on Facebook the day after their wedding. Over half (52 per cent) did so within the week of saying,“I do.” Pinterest is on the rise: While blogs and wedding sites are the most valuable tools for brides as almost all (91 per cent) went online to these sites after getting engaged, Pinterest seems to be an increasingly important resource for Canadians brides. When planning their nuptials 42 per cent pinned photos on wedding boards and 48 per cent used Pinterest sharing boards Sharing the love – and photos: The large majority of brides are anxious to share wedding photos on Facebook, with almost eight out of 10 (79 per cent) planning to do so and 43 per cent are planning on posting honeymoon photos. Other plans for sharing the love include informing guests of wedding registry information (one in five respondents), sharing wedding inspirations (13 per cent) and showcasing the wedding video (11 per cent). Tradition rules for invitations: Brides still like the formality of wedding invitations as almost one in four thinks paper invitations are necessary for all wedding activities. Another half of Canadian brides (47 per cent) have mixed feelings about using paperless invitations. They believe it’s okay for wedding-related

activities, like showers and parties, but not for the actual wedding. Only 15 per cent of respondents thought it was totally fine to go completely electronic. Future potential of technology at weddings: Live streaming of the wedding may be a rising trend for Canadian weddings. While only nine per cent responded that they streamed their wedding to have everyone involved, 30 per cent are open to the idea.You may also see a Twitter station at your next reception, as 14 per cent of respondents said they wished they knew about it or thought of it before. In the coming years, using these technological tools may continue to grow among brides. About David’s Bridal: With over 60 years of experience dressing women of all ages for life’s special occasions, David’s Bridal understands the importance of providing brides-to-be with a vast selection of exquisitely crafted bridal gowns and bridal party dresses. Known for outstanding value, fashionable designs and the ease of onestop shopping, there are more than 300 David’s Bridal stores located across the US, Canada and Puerto Rico. Working with a knowledgeable bridal consultant, a customer can try on a wide selection of gowns and dresses in her size with the added convenience that most styles are available to take home the same day. davidsbridal.ca 1-877-851-2743. About David’s Bridal Poll: Methodology: An online survey was conducted from November 14th to 26th 2012. Email invitations were sent to a random sample of Canadian brides whose event date in David’s Bridal system was between February and October 2012. A total of 1,262 women responded to the survey.

NEW CANADIANS have tax obligations too

very year, thousands of immigrants make Canada their new home. However living in a different country can be a major adjustment, especially if you are unfamiliar with having to file income tax forms.

“Even if you are new to Canada, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) expects you to comply with your tax obligations,” says Cleo Hamel, senior tax analyst with H&R Block.“It is important to find out your residency status under the CRA rules and what this means to your tax return.” People entering Canada can be classified as non-residents, deemed residents or part-year residents, depending on how long they stay and if they establish residential ties. People who immigrate to Canada on a permanent basis are usually considered part-year residents for tax purposes. Part-year residents are taxed on their world income from the date of entry, so all income earned in a tax year must be reported. “Every new Canadian needs to apply for a social insurance number (SIN) as soon as possible,” explains Hamel.“You will need a SIN to file a tax return and qualify for tax credits.”

Part-year residents may be entitled to the GST credit after their arrival. Parents should also complete a Child Tax Benefit Form RC66 from the CRA as soon as they arrive. “Your tax obligations on investments and properties will be calculated based on the fair market value (FMV) on the date you entered Canada,” says Hamel.“The FMV will determine any capital gains or losses after you arrive, meaning you don’t pay more tax than you need to.” If you are new to Canada, it is important to make sure you claim the credits to which you are entitled while ensuring you comply with the existing tax laws and treaties.

DON’T COUNT ON SCREENS for window safety

eople fall out of windows. Tragically, children fall out of windows resulting in serious injuries or death because people expect that their window screens provide adequate protection and safety. They do not. A window screen is not a safety device and many companies include warnings to this effect on their windows. Screens are only designed to keep insects out of your home. They are not intended or designed as a restraining device to prevent children from falling. David Mitten, the executive director of Sawdac’s Window Wise program explains why a screen is not a safety device: “The metal frames of the screen are generally thin metal. They are good enough to hold the shape of the screen, but will bend with the application of a few pounds of pressure. Even the weight of a small child thrown against it is more than enough to bend a screen frame, and a bent frame will often dislodge from the window. Even if the screen frame doesn’t bend enough to dislodge, the mesh is generally held in place by a small gasket or spline that is intended to be removable. Removable means that it can be removed as easily by accidental pressure as by intent, so a child bumping into a screen could result in the unsuspecting fall through the window opening.” There are measures you can take to improve the safety of your home in regard to windows. On lower floors, most window manufacturers have optional latching systems that limit the opening of the window, so a toddler would be unlikely to open it wide enough to be able to get through. However, this system does not meet the exact definition of a window safety device, which requires it to withstand 150 lbs of force. There are after-market devices that do meet this criterion for windows at higher elevations.

One that is recommended for a child’s room is a steel device known as a window guard. Another method is the use of safety netting. Many of these devices can be purchased at local hardware or building supply outlets. Some may be found on the Internet. Particularly for homes with children, these devices are considered essential safety equipment. Some window companies will help you through their local sources or may even be able to provide you with these types of devices. NC

décor

A small touch can make a big

décor difference

ow may not be the right time to give your home the top-to-bottom makeover of your dreams. But there are many smaller things you can do, especially in kitchens and bathrooms that will make a big difference for a small investment. A change of colour on walls, for example. One trend at the moment is a new neutral – green. Avoid extreme tones, and you’ll find that green works well with other colours, and certainly gives a fresh look to your home. Then you can add a stylish trolley cart or shelving to your bathroom. There are many to choose from in an abundance of styles and sizes. Extra storage space will tidy up bathroom clutter, and will start you thinking about another way to bring style and glamour into your home – decorative hardware. It’s so simple, and not at all expensive to replace your old cabinet hardware, the drawer and door knobs and pulls, or bathroom hardware and coat hooks, with something that looks and works better. Done right, it brings a new look to your home, co-ordinated from room to room. Choose a brand that offers product depth – Amerock, for example. If you fall in love with one of their styles you’ll find it’s available in many product shapes, sizes and finishes, even hard-tofind, oversize items. The latest of the new finishes are two metallic finishes. Caramel Bronze has a glow all its own, rich and coppery. The second, Brushed Bronze, plays up the silver and gold tones in any room. More information is available online at Amerock.com. NC

YOU CAN’T BUY TRUE LOVE or home grown tomatoes “John Denver or Guy Clark could be singing this song,” says Jeff Howe, president of Bonnie Plants Canada. “The lyrics say that there are ‘only two things that money can’t buy: true love or home grown tomatoes’. Homegrown taste always wins the best flavour test versus store bought produce.” Tomatoes are easy to grow and perfect for the novice gardener exploring their talents by planting them in a large container or garden. Nurseries and large retailers create mixed tomato six packs for gardeners to experiment with colour, size and taste. “Grouping a variety of six tomato plants allows gardeners to try the traditional large, solid and meaty tasting tomatoes that can be served fresh in large slices or for cooking and sauces,” continues Howe.“The smaller, cherry sized tomatoes included in the mix provide a healthy and quick snack off the vine or further sweetness when cooked in a basket on the grill.” Tomato variety packs can include beefmaster, biltmore and better boy varieties – all three tomatoes are meaty, red and large for tasty large slices on a sandwich. Also part of the mix are early girl – a red and flavourful mid-sized all summer tomato which is perfect to cut up for salads. Two smaller, cherry sized, sweet tasting tomatoes in the pack are sweet 100 – red and growing in clusters

throughout the summer, great for snacking, and the yellow pear - yellow and pear shaped for added interest in salads. There is more information on growing tomatoes online at www.bonnieplants.ca including the times when they arrive at your local garden centre. Adds Howe,“Nothing beats the taste of tomatoes off the vine - the longer you leave them to ripen, the better tasting they are. You can’t buy that natural, home grown taste.” NC
