BC Hydro’s imposi-tion of manual meter reading fees has per-suaded most holdouts to accept a wireless smart meter.

BC Hydro imposed a $35 monthly fee start-ing Dec. 1 for custom-ers who refuse to part with their mechanical electricity meters, after offering the 68,000 customers who still had them the option of accepting the new meter with the radio transmission function on or off.

BC Hydro reported the results this week to the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC), which is reviewing the fees. More than 48,000 customers chose the smart meter to avoid the meter reading fee. Another 450 chose the

radio-off meter, which comes with a $100 setup fee and $20 a month starting April 1 to cover costs of col-lecting readings.

Another 6,270 cus-tomers chose to keep their mechanical meters, and 13,110 more did not respond to BC Hydro’s letters, so they will have the $35 fee added to their bills until they choose another option.

BC Hydro reports that 99 per cent of its cus-tomers now have the wireless meter. Most of those have been switched to automated billing, and have their daily electricity use dis-played on their online account pages.

Claims of health effects from wireless meter transmissions have been rejected by health authorities, and

also by the BCUC in a review of FortisBC’s wireless meter program. BCUC found that the radio frequency signal from a bank of smart meters is less than 10 per cent of the natural background level, and a tiny fraction of the exposure from a cellu-lar phone.

Citizens for Safe Technology, one of the more active opponents of the wireless grid,

was represented at the FortisBC hearings by Donald Maisch. BCUC rejected Maisch’s claims of health haz-ards, noting that Maisch’s “consulting livelihood depends on public fears and con-cerns about radio fre-quency exposure.”

Fees persuade majority of smart meter holdouts to switch over

Due to a sell-out of the workshop in November, instructor Steve Bondy hosted another intro-duction to origami workshop Saturday 14th December at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council (CDAC).

Students came between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. to get to grips with this ancient paper folding art form. People came from as far as Kimberley to participate and create.

Gretchen Whetham (pictured with her cre-ations) who attended the class admitted “I am not a creative person so ori-gami appealed to me because there is a huge repertoire of shapes to make and lots of books and websites with instructions. However, unless you know what the various symbols mean, it can be very frustrating to learn on your own. Steve Bondy was very patient and showed us very basic shapes step-by-step. He also showed us a sample of his creations, which has inspired me to practice and sign up for his next workshop”. You can see for yourself one of Steve’s beautiful modular swans in the accompanying photo-graph.

“This is the first work-shop I’ve attended at the Arts Council.”, Gretchen said. “Helen (the CDAC administra-tor), and other volun-teers made everyone feel welcome and even provided tea and treats”.

Steve’s workshops have been so successful at the arts council that he is already booked in for two intermediate classes for 2014. The first is Saturday 25th January and the sec-ond is Saturday 22nd February both between

10 a.m. and 12 p.m. For $25 you’ll receive all the materials you require and two hours of professional instruction. This course acts as fol-low-on from the intro-ductory course, but is also suitable for people with previous origami experience. In this class Steve moves on from the simpler models from the introductory course to more complex models including an angel fish and, at special request of one of his younger students, a dragon!

Students taking this class have had nothing but praise for instruc-tor Steve Bondy, as evidenced in the words of Terry Lynn and Gretchen, and confirmed by student and CDAC board member Tessa McGregor “Steve’s cre-ativity and enthusiasm for this ancient art form was infectious. I can’t wait to sign up for his next workshop which will take us to the next level of origami con-

struction”, she goes on to say “I had such fun at the Steve Bondy origa-mi workshop. His step by step, patient instruc-tion of basic shape con-struction had the partici-pants, many of whom had never done origami before, turning out but-terflies, page markers, pianos, Japanese cups, star boxes, and the ultimate challenge, at least for me, cranes. I will be making several page holders to insert into books that I will be giving at Christmas. I can make them from the beautifully patterned paper that Steve sup-plied, (as)… in addition to the origami treasures that we took away with us from the workshop, we were also supplied with a stack of vari-ous origami paper and easy to follow instruc-tions to continue to hone our new found skills at home”.

Terry Lynn Jeffers, director of administra-tion for The Symphony

of the Kootenays took the workshop and paid it forward right away by sharing her newfound knowledge. “I took my origami pieces home and immediately spent over an hour having fun with my two grand-daughters, teaching them what Steve taught us,” she says. “They were excited to discover how many fun things can be made with one pretty square of paper”.

Steve Bondy’s consid-eration of his students and what they want to learn makes him a won-derful educator. If you’d like to experience one of his classes, please regis-ter in advance to avoid disappointment. If you would like to request the introductory workshop run again, you can do so by calling 250-426-4223 or sending an e-quest to [email protected] or via the workshop page on the CDAC website at: www.cranbrookanddis-trictartscouncil.com

On December 1st the residents of Candy Cane Lane awoke to find their annual Christmas displays had been van-dalized overnight. Zoey and her family always have come to Candy Cane Lane each year on Christmas eve and enjoy the lights and decora-tions. When 7 year old Zoey heard what had happened she felt sad and decided that her Christmas wish this year was to “fix Candy Cane Lane after the people had wrecked it”. Zoey took $30 of her own money and then chal-lenged her older broth-er William to match it which he did, their par-ents Adam and Ramona then matched the kids

donations. Zoey’s Mom who is at Shivers in in Western Financial Place also donated $1 from bags of popcorn sold on December 13th and 14th, then David the Manager at the super-store added a $50 gift card to their cause. The kids then purchased a number of decorations including extension cords and brought them to us. When they were dropping off the items Zoey’s mom remarked to my wife that while she and her family were doing this Zoey said she felt all warm inside, funny after this gener-ous and amazing act we feel kind of warm inside too! On Monday night after I got home from work I wrote out a little explanation about this wonderful act, attached

it to the various items and then got to play Santa by going to each of the neighbours on our street. I had to tell them to read the note as It was very hard to explain without becoming quite emotional. The items purchased now have added at least one new and very special decora-tion to every display on the street.

I would also like to thank Mary who lives across from the hospi-tal for finding the pile of decorations thrown over the fence at the golf course and then taking the initiative to find out where they had come from and then try-ing to get them back to the original owners. Yes Santa Claus the spirit of the season alive and well in Cranbrook, even more so on Candy Cane Lane and two rotten Grinches in a little pick-up truck will not change that one bit.

Merry Christmas!

Saint Aidan Orthodox Church, Cranbrook, is pleased to welcome Fr. Andrew Applegate and his wife Sonia to our community. Fr. Andrew is from Calgary and prior to becom-ing a priest worked for Canmark, a roof-ing company. He and his wife have one son and two grandchildren who live in Colorado Springs.

In the rush of preparing for the Christmas holi-days, we hear often that Christmas is just for chil-dren. In a recently pub-lished book Meditations for Advent: Preparing for Christ’s birth, Fr. Vassilios Papavassiliow, writes; “Every year as Christmas approaches, we hear a great deal made about the mean-ing of Christmas, in a society that persistently is trying to shake off its Christian identity.

During such a debate about the meaning of Christmas, one particu-lar comment struck me, Christmas is a feast for children. Although the person who made this comment intended for it to be taken in a negative sense, I found surprised though to be agreeing with him. Christ said become as little chil-dren. What do children have that we adults are missing. First of all they have a capacity for wonder and innocent joy, which in adults is tainted by sinfulness and cynicism. Secondly they are capable of complete trust that ends up being choked by the thorns of adulthood and thirdly they possess absolute humility. These child-like characteristics of wonder, joy, faith and humility should be our response to the nativity. Christ comes to be born not in a haughty palace decked with jewels and

precious stones but a humble manger. So too He will not enter the hearts of the proud but only in those who are humble and poor in spir-it. Christmas is indeed a feast for children. Only when we become as children will we be able to truly rejoice in the wonder of Christmas, the eternal and almighty God coming to us as a defenceless and vul-nerable baby. It is the mystery by which we should be humbled. It is the strange wonder in which we should rejoice as children do.”

Saint Aidan’s parish invites you to join us in celebrating Christ Jesus’s birthday with joy and wonder. Nativity services are planned for December 24th, including a Candlelight Carol Sing and Nativity Readings at 11 p.m. and a Midnight Divine Liturgy Service.

After a very success-ful 2013 Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign no time was wasted by the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary order-ing two phlebotomy chairs for the regional hospital’s Ambulatory Care Unit and by East Kootenay Foundation for Health who ordered a broda chair for the 2nd and 3rd medical fl oors.

Although the team from Tim Hortons’ was unable to join CHCA and EKFH when the chairs arrived a very special holiday guest

stopped in to share in the excitement.

Thank you to the Gareau family, their staff and the many loyal customers at the Tim

Hortons’ Cranbrook locations for bringing valuable health care equipment to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

If each person reused two feet of ribbon this

Christmas it would save 61,000 kms of ribbon.

What You Need to Know About Glass The glass recycling bins in the East Kootenay are for container glass ONLY.

That means only container glass that holds food and beverages. Some examples include: ✓ Jam jars ✓ Pickle jars ✓ Cheez whiz jars ✓ Olive oil jars ✓ Iced tea or wine bottles

These containers must be well rinsed with lids removed.

The following are NOT accepted in the glass bins: ✕ Dishes of any kind (clear drinking

✕ Shower doors, windshields ✕ Lightbulbs ✕ Picture frame glass ✕ Glass trinkets (like candlestick holders and tree decorations)

On December 25th alone, over 30 million bags of

garbage will be thrown out of Canadian households.

If everyone in Canada wrapped just three gifts

in reused paper or gift bags, it would save enough paper

to cover 45,000 hockey rinks.

Reuse Comes Before RecycleOver the holidays many people will receive gifts that will replace perfectly good older items. Instead of throwing good items away, please consider giving them away so they can be reused.

There are Reuse Centres at the Cranbrook, Kimberley, Elkford, Fernie and Sparwood Transfer Stations and Columbia Valley Landfill.

Some examples of items that are accepted in the Reuse Centres include:

✓ Chairs ✓ Pictures✓Televisions ✓ Small dishes✓Light fixtures ✓ Tools

Items that cannot be accepted include large appliances, tires, mattresses, automotive parts, scrap metal, wood and clothing.

Please Keep it CleanOur yellow recycling bins are often on private property and it is so important that we keep them clean. Please put all recyclables in the bin. Over the holidays, the bins see a huge increase in volume. While our contactor will be working hard to empty the bins more frequently, sometimes they will be full. If you encounter a full bin, please look for another bin in the area or come back. Never leave recyclables on or around the bins. Thank you for helping us keep our recycling areas clean!

pans cannot be recycled. Consider non-disposable options

There is good evidence that moderate alcohol (one drink a day) can be healthy, helping to pro-tect your heart, improve circulation and reduce the risk of diabetes and gallstones. It is gener-ally accepted that, at most, one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men is healthy. On the flip side, alcohol can cause harm if abused, including causing weight gain. Consuming alcohol actually turns off your body’s ability to burn fat from your last meal and preferentially stores fat on your belly. There are ways, however, that you can drink moderately and stay slim. Top of the list is to always eat when you have a drink. Alcohol is high in carbohydrate and a night of drinking can cause your blood sugar to skyrocket then plum-met, causing you to feel hungry and likely end up at the bottom of a bag of chips or tub of ice cream. Eating protein along with healthy fats like nuts and seeds or avocado and some fiber (from veg-etables) will balance out the carbohydrates from

the alcohol and stabi-lize your blood sugar. Simple drinks like wine, beer and spirits, vodka and gin in particular, are low calorie compared to drinks with pop, juice or liqueurs. The sweet-er and more syrupy the drink, the more hungry it will likely make you feel and the more empty calories it will have. If you have several drinks a day, your body has to metabolize hundreds of calories before it can get back to burning fat from food, possibly lead-ing to unwanted weight gain. To make matters worse, being tipsy does nothing for making good dietary choices and you are more likely to order the plate of nachos that you will still be working off next week. Alcohol is also a diuretic and you might confuse hunger for dehydration. So, be sure to drink water and keep yourself well hydrated, you will feel better for it at the time and in the morning. At this time of year it is particularly important to be con-scious about what, and how much, you drink.

Ford’s Out FrontOn the Night Before Christmas

‘Twas the night before Christmas - the children were dreamingOf a Ford in their future-smart, swanky and gleaming;

And Mother and I grinned, for we knewThat this wonderful dream was about to come true.

Then out in the driveway wheels crunched on the snowAnd the ford dealer gave us a cheery “Hello”

He wasn’t the Santa Claus type - he appearedWithout any reindeer, a pack, or a beard,

But when he drove up in that elegant FordYou bet he was Santa, in person, to us.

“Merry Christmas,” he said, with a smile that was pleasant,“The Ford in your future is now in your present.”

From our Denham Ford Family to yours we wish you a happy and

safe holiday season.Thank you for all your support and

we look forward to servicing all your auto needs in 2014.

QuestionOF THE WEEK:

Santa is looking for a new ride.Which new vehicle would you like him to deliver to you?

Santa looking to swap outdated ride for super economy sleigh

Visit our photo galleries at DrivewayBC.ca

NORTH POLE - Driveway can exclu-sively reveal that Santa Claus has been visiting local dealerships kicking tires—ahem, rails—in his search for a new ride.Ever conscious of the increasing cost of gas and effect his multi-million-kilome-tre Christmas flight has on the environ-ment, Santa seems to have opted for 2014 Ford Transit Connect Wagon for his next sleigh.The wagon promises a fuel economy of 7.84 L/100 kms fuel economy,which means the sleigh will be kinder to the environment than his current means of transporting gifts to the world’s children.As an added benefit, the EcoBoost engine – which is finely tuned for high-speed performance – would offer speeds much faster than Santa ever travelled in his former 36-hoofpowered sleigh. The expected upgrade comes as a record number of children earn spots on the “nice” list, increasing the payload weight of his bag of gifts beyond the normal tow rating of his nine-reindeer team.Santa told me that changing his mode of transportation will not compromise his ability to remain true to his mission.“My goal is and always has been

giving presents to good girls and boys, and a new sleigh will make that process more effective,” he says. “Let’s face it, every year there are more children who earn pres-ents. Things are simply getting out of control, and my old sleigh just isn’t going to be able to hack it much longer. With the new sleigh, I will be able to travel faster and carry more toys.”Ford engineers devel-oped the Transit Connect Wagon sleigh concept weeks after hearing of Santa’s dilemma during cold weather testing in the North Pole.“This is a winning situation for all,” says Darren Goddard, chief engineer for Ford Transit Connect Wagon. “The increased efficiency means added time for Santa to enjoy milk and cookies at stops. His new ride will offer 100 cubic feet of cargo space and versatility to haul up to 2,000 pounds, which Santa will need.”Reindeer spokesperson Dasher says

the nine reindeer look forward to some time off. Every year, the flying animals travel 200,194,557 kms and they’d like some time to rest, he says, explaining there are still splinters embedded in his hoofs from a particular wooden roof in northern BC.“You really can’t beat this new sleigh,” says Goddard. “It offers outstanding fuel econ-omy without sacrificing power. It even offers an electric windshield defroster, making short work of icy windshields in wintry conditions. So,

if there’s a foggy Christmas Eve, we won’t need a red-nosed reindeer to guide Santa around the world.”Some extras appear to have swung Santa in the direction of the Transit Connect. SYNC with MyFord Touch offers a touch screen display with navigation so Santa can easily find all the good children, even in more remote areas.The child observation mirror would

allow him to keep a close eye on his gifts in the second and third row.From its 60/40 three-passenger sec-ond-row bench seat through fold-flat second- and third-row seating with third-row independent fore-and-aft sliding capability, the wagon quickly adapts to accommodate multiple com-binations of elves and presents.The MyKey programmable ignition key restricts maximum speed should a mis-chievous elf get behind the wheel while Claus is down a chimney leaving gifts.With eight cupholders, Claus and his elves would have plenty of space to take along a few glasses of milk as they continue through their busy night.Rain-sensing wipers would keep Claus on the move, as there’s always a chance he’ll encounter nasty weather.“As always, we are busy making toys and checking long lists,” says Santa. “That said, Merry Christmas to all!”Of course, Mrs. Claus will have the final say on this purchase because, as any dealership owner will tell you, women make the final decision in 80 per cent of new vehicle purchases. Keep your eyes peeled Tuesday night to see if Santa got his Christmas wish.

‘‘At first, I was a little sceptical about this vehicle but...after the first few kilometres, I found it to be a very comfortable and fun to drive vehicle.’’Ian Harwood

The 2014 GMC Acadia De-nali is truly a full-size cross-over vehicle.

That’s right, an eight-pas-senger crossover that is big enough to haul eight adults and still have room to store your gear.

Saturday is my usual run around day; picking up things, dropping off people, some of whom I don’t know but someone in my family has volunteered me to drive them anyway. You know the kind of day, the one that finds me buying things that we don’t need but can’t live without, returning things that appar-ently we can live without, and providing hourly updates to my wife on what I have ac-complished thus far. Hectic and stressful.

Well, this particular Satur-day I had the Acadia Denali and with a few hours driving this vehicle I was actually re-laxed. Luxurious seating and a premium Bose stereo sys-tem with steering wheel con-trols that drowned out all the chatter from the back seats. It also came in handy for when they tried to include me in the conversation; with a simple push of the volume button I could yell back “sorry, I can’t hear you”.

www.importautogroup.com

By Alexandra Straub

Looking for the perfect gift for the car lover in your life? – I am too.

In the search for some cool swag, here are a few places you can stop by or check out online for some unique pieces of automotive goodness.

Blipshift.com ($15.00 + shipping)

Direct from the website, it says, “Blipshift brings you high quality, limited edition auto-enthusiast focused shirts for just $15. Each shirt is available for only a few days before it is towed off to the crusher, never to be printed again.”

If you wan to torture yourself

and see some amazing designs from weeks past, you can do so by scrolling through the dif-ferent pages. Sometimes, there are extras in specific designs so might just be in luck.

blipshift.comCarry all for the Mo-

torcycle: Ogio Rig 9800 Rolling Luggage Bag $250 (approx.)

For anyone carrying motor-cycle gear frequently, this is a fabulous bag. I recently pur-chased one and I love it. It fit both my motocross gear (big, chunky boots), pants, shirt, elbow and knee pads and my one-piece leather racing suit, track boots, gloves AND a hel-met. Yes, there’s a specific area

to put your helmet. I checked it in at the airport and there were no issues. It’s heavy duty, and has handles at very conve-nient sports. The kicker? It can stand upright by itself. It’s pric-ey but worth the investment.

ogio.comWilkinson Automobilia

(Various prices)Need a book, DVD, poster

or die cast model? Chances are Wilkinson Automobilia will have it. With unique items in store every day, it really is a place where any car lover could spend most of their pay cheques.

Should you not live in the Lower Mainland, fear not, they have an online store, which is eautomobilia.com

There are items there that appeal to both four and two-wheel enthusiasts.

A Visit to the Spa (for your Car. Various prices)

It’s a good feeling when you’re feeling clean. And we all know that winter is not a season that promotes spot-lessness. With salt on the roads, grime hanging around, and foreign objects getting stuck to your vehicle, you’d wonder how a bath can even help. Well, it does. Washing it cleans off the salt that covers the roads and can help prevent

corrosion. And on the inside, think of what your boots bring in. A trip to the spa prevents stains from totally setting in and can leave your car smell-ing good, too. Whether get-ting just a quick treatment or the full shebang, your ride will thank you for it.

Build a Racecar in 158 Pieces ($24.99)

Building a racecar can be done in 158 pieces thanks to Lego. If you’re young, or young at heart, surely you’ll have a good time assembling this “toy!” Plus, it looks cool.

shop.lego.comSteering in the Right Direc-

tion (From approx. $240.00)Want to spice up your ride?

Perhaps add a sporty element? Sparco makes steering wheels for both street and race cars. Then again, it’s kind of a one-stop shop. They also sell race attire, seats, shoes and more. If nothing else, they make some very comfortable hats! spar-cousa.com

All three rows receive the same level of luxury. French stitching on all of the leather seats with a choice of colors, Ebony or Cocoa Dune. The second row seats are a Smart-Slide flat-folding 60/40 split bench while the third row is a 60/40 split bench that folds flat as well. The third row is surprisingly comfortable and enough leg room for adults.

The steering wheel is leath-er wrapped with mahogany wood grain trim; it also fea-tures a tilt and telescopic steering column. The centre of the dash is the location for the colour touch Radio/Navi-gation screen with IntelliLink. A 165 mm (6.5”) colour touch screen display, AM/FM ste-reo with CD player, auxiliary audio input jack, Bluetooth streaming audio, hands free calling, and a rear seat enter-tainment system.

If you’re excited about cup holders then hold on to your-self, this vehicle has twelve. I know because I had to clean each one. Twelve in an eight-seater, go figure.

The Acadia comes standard with driver and front passen-ger airbags, seat mounted side impact bags and side curtain air bags. Traction con-trol and stability control with roll stability control are also standard. Forward collision

alert, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert, and side blind zone alert are some of the latest technologies that have gone into this vehicle.

Power:The 3.6 Litre V6 engine puts

out 288 horsepower @ 6,300 rpm with 270 ft pounds of torque. The transmission is a 6-speed automatic that can be shifted into manual mode.

Pump frequency: 13.3/ 8.8 L/100 km (City/ Highway)

Warranty support: Basic 3 year/ 60,000 km

Power-train 5 year/ 160,000 km

Roadside assistance 5 year/ 160,000 km

At first, I was a little scepti-cal about this vehicle but af-ter the first few kilometres, I changed my mind and found it to be a very comfortable and a fun to drive vehicle. Al-though there is lots of room inside it does not give the im-pression of a big SUV, and it manoeuvres quite well. With the latest technologies added, I found it easy to use and very useful. Shoulder checks are something I do by habit, but with the side blind zone alert feature it is like having some-one else take a second look, which is comforting.

OBITUARYDORATTY:

With loved ones at his bedside, 97 year old Robert Owen Doratty was called to his eternal rest on Monday, December 16, 2013. He was born in Natal, BC on December 3, 1916 to parents Benjamin and Teresa Doratty. Bob graduated from the Michel-Natal High School and in 1940, enlisted with the Canadian Scottish Regiment. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, Bob was one of many Canadian soldiers that stormed Juno Beach on the coast of Normandy; the victory

that became the turning point for WWII. At war’s end, Bob returned to Canada and began employment at the Michel Colliery. He met his soul-mate, Marie Larson, and the two were married in 1947. Bob was very disciplined in his life and loved to go for walks outdoors, surrounded by nature. His family was the joy of his life, and spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren brought him a lot of pleasure. Molly was the love of his life; he knew from the moment they met that she was the one for him. They enjoyed 66 wonderful years together and raised five children. His son and four daugh-ters adored him and what he represented in their lives. They will cherish many fond memories of their time together.Bob is survived by his beloved wife Marie (Molly) and their children: Bob (Rose) Doratty, Lorna (Roland) Perri, Judy (Roger) Berdusco, Kathy (Andy) Wilson, and Nancy (Rob) Roulston, 13 grandchildren: Russell (Annie), Robert, Lauren (Christian), Alana (David), Diana (Brett), Kirsten (Rob), Jeff (Tegan), Dan (Melanie), Jillian (Zoltan), Kayla, Cara, Brett and Pearce, 9 great grandchildren: Zoe, Desmond, Hazel, Gus, Chase, Sydne, Julius, Mia and Seren, his brother Brian Doratty and his sister-in-law Sheila Little as well as several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Teresa and Benjamin, and his brother Jack Doratty.Bob’s life was celebrated during a Memorial Service at St. Michael’s Catholic Church on Saturday, December 21st with Father Bart van Roijen, Celebrant. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Elk Valley Senior Housing Society for the Lilac Terrace Building Fund.The family would like to thank Dr.'s Michal & Clark for their kind care for Dad over the years. We would also like to thank all the wonderful staff at Lilac Terrace in Sparwood; his home for the last four years.

Messages of condolence may be sent to the family at www.cherishememoriesfs.com Arrangements entrusted to

In Memoriam

In Loving Memory of Matthew Curtis

Memories of you at Christmas and times throughout the years. Remembering your smile and laughter brings us a silent

tear. Handing out the Christmas gifts wrapped so nice beneath the tree. Stockings in the

morning full as if it would always be.

Places to go, people to see, running into

the house with haste. Going to the Kings Lodge in England soon, basically no

time to waste.Full of energy, full of life, encouraging

us each new day. Sensitive to all of us, let’s go to the King

you would say. Raising your one eyebrow high, the

twinkle in your eye. We think of you each

passing day, there was no time to say

goodbye.

Lovingly Remembered

by your Family

Mom, Dad, Phil

Decorative bricks (or faux bricks) are more affordable than regular bricks and are gaining in popularity as a decorative element for homes. And best of all, you don’t have to be a qualified stone mason in order to lay them.

PreParationDecorative bricks are

usually laid on plywood or plasterboard. Clean the underlying surface thoroughly and apply a primer if ne cessary. In some cases, the addition of a layer of wire mesh may be necessary. It goes without saying that the wall surface

or floor should be level before you begin work.

inStallationSpread the glue with

a notched trowel over one small area at a time, starting at the bottom of the wall. Place the bricks, leaving an equal space between each of them and en suring that the joints are offset from one row to the next. Check frequently to ensure that the row of bricks is level.

Use a miter saw fitted with a ceramic blade for cutting the bricks at the end of the rows. Recuperate the remnants to start a new row. Brick corners, used to cover the

corners of three dimensional objects, such as those on a mantelpiece, are also available on the market. Now all that’s left to do is to fill the joints with mortar according to the manufac turer’s instructions.

Apart from the traditional red brick, many models and colors of decorative stones are available in stores. To

find the best product for your project, as well as the appropriate installation technique, be sure to ask a professional for advice.

Enhanced character on a budgetSubmitted

If you have them, you might not know what to do with them, and if you don’t have them, you might wish you did. If they’re done right, there’s no thing quite like exposed beams to enhance the ca chet of a room. Would you love to incorporate this ar chitec tural feature in your home but don’t have the grandiose budget to match? Here’s the solution.

First of all, you can find fake wood beams on the market. Made of polyurethane or polystyrene, they are much more affordable than a solid wood beam. Even better, you can create a false beam at a fraction of the price by using MDF (fiberboard) panels.

The first step in making a false beam is to cut three strips of MDF of the same width; typically, they range from 15 to 20 cm. Next, glue and nail them on 5x7cm wood uprights. The goal is to build a

threesided box, the fourth side being the ceiling.

Now all you have to do is paint or stain the beams according to the look you want to give the room: pale, dark, or natural. It is possible to give your beams the look of natural wood by creating a grain with a woodgraining tool or

ro cker. MDF with a wood grain fi nish is also available in stores.

The addition of false beams should be done sparingly in order not to give the room a heavy look. Of course, the ceiling should also be high enough to lend itself to this imposing architectural style.

Installing decorative bricks in your home

The exposed beam look can add value and ambi-ence to your home.
