Spirits Reach developers lead the wayBy Sandra KellyColumbia Valley Homes
Touring Spirits Reach with Dave and Donna Rae, you can’t help but ad-mire the visionary couple. Partners in life and in business, the Raes have been developing land along the shores of Co-lumbia Lake for 18 years. Th eir com-pany, Columere Park Developments, has always done good work. But Spirits Reach is truly special.
Th e new sub-division just south of Fairmont Hot Springs is more than just another project for the Raes. It is the culmination of everything they’ve learned about developing land. It is their fi rst experience with building homes—an exciting thing. More importantly, it is the embodiment of everything they hold dear: closely-knit community, re-spect for the land, and leadership in the fi eld of real estate development.
“We are trying to set an example here of how lakeside communities should be built,” says Dave. Th at’s a modest state-
ment. Spirits Reach, with its thoroughly “green” infrastructure, architecture and landscaping, is certainly the new stan-dard for environmentally-responsible development.
It was meant to be that standard. It was also meant to be a place where people can escape from the madness of urban life and rejuvenate themselves amid nature’s splendor. Mission ac-complished. You couldn’t ask for a more tranquil—or gorgeous—getaway.
Spirits Reach meanders over 500 treed acres, only half of which the Raes are developing for homes. Th e remain-ing 250 acres, which they call “the ranch” in homage to their history as ranchland, will be left in their natural state. Future amenities include a recre-ation centre with a pool, a beach club, a greenhouse, horse stables, a restaurant and a bed-and-breakfast lodge. Th e greenhouse will supply produce to the restaurant.

Continued from Page 28
When it is complete, about ten years from now, Spirits Reach will have a total of 350 homes built in four phases: Spirit of the Lake, on the lakeside of Highway 93/95; and Mustangs Crossing, Spirits Rise and Hardie Creek, all on the west side of the high-way. Spirit of the Lake has close access to the lake. Th e other three mini-communities all have lake views.
Th e ultimate goal, says Donna, is to give residents the healthy and prideful lifestyle they want through ownership of environmentally-responsible homes and a range of educational and outdoor programs and out-door activities. An extensive network of nature trails will let residents commune with nature while enjoying some truly spectacular scenery.
“For me, Spirits Reach is really about being able to fulfi ll people’s dreams,” says Donna. “To share with them these values and this life that we love so much.”
Spirit of the Lake, the fi rst phase of Spirits Reach, was started a year ago. It includes 63 attached single-family homes, 34 of which are currently under con-struction.
Th e show home for Spirit of the Lake will be fi n-ished just in time for the May long weekend. Th ere are only ten homes still available in this phase.
To create their overall vision for Spirits Reach, the Raes sought guidance from Brent Harley and Associ-ates, land planners specializing in sustainable, low-im-pact development.
Th ey also consulted with Bill Swan, co-founder of Wings Over the Rockies. He has an ongoing role in the project and is “a tremendous asset,” says Dave.
As their builder, the Raes chose Enviro Custom Homes, which specializes in energy-effi cient homes for healthy living. Says Dave: “We have great respect for all these experts. We have learned so much from them.”
Heeding the advice they got, the Raes installed a sewage treatment plant that will be ten times more eco-friendly, says Dave, than a conventional septic sys-tem.
Th ey adopted such landscaping practices as plant-ing indigenous wild grasses on the site rather than im-porting sod.
Th ey have launched a project to restore disturbed
vegetation, along with a comprehensive recycling pro-gram. Th ey have adopted practices for effi cient site waste management.
Wherever possible, they are incorporating natural, indigenous building materials into the homes. For ex-ample, the trees that were removed from Spirit of the Lake will be re-used as fi replace mantels—an inspired touch.
All the homes will be super energy effi cient thanks to such features as geothermal heat and water-smart appliances. Every home will have a fi bre-optics con-nection for high-speed Internet.
Th e Raes originate from Calgary. In 1980 they built a recreation home in Columere Park, which was partially developed at that time. Th ey ended up fi nish-ing the beautiful subdivision and naming their com-pany after it.
Th ey went on to develop Columbia Ridge Coun-try Estates. Th ey became full-time residents of the valley in 1995. Th eir sons, 17-year-old Chris and 15-year-old Daniel attend school in Invermere.
“Th is is our community,” says Donna. “It’s where we live, and we care very deeply about it.”

Two storeys favoured by some retireesBy Sandra KellyColumbia Valley Homes
Builders say that most baby boomers want their fi nal home to be a bungalow.
Whether it’s attached or unattached, modest or luxurious, downtown or in the suburbs, the one-sto-rey dwelling is still the retirement nest of choice.
It’s partly about lifestyle. Bungalows off er more design possibilities, such as vaulted ceilings and huge great rooms that require little structural support.
And, because they have a bigger footprint, bun-galows automatically have more outdoor living space than two-storey homes. Th ere is often twice the room for family and friends to gather.
Th ere are more parking spots and green spaces. Trees and shrubs can be strategically planted to block the view of neighbors, so there is also more privacy.
Bungalows are friendlier than two-storey homes. Seniors with mobility challenges fi nd it far easier to negotiate a single storey, which means they can live independently, longer. And, just about any bungalow can be made wheelchair accessible.
Th e word bungalow derives from the Hindi word “bangla,” which means “house in the Bengal style.” Such houses were traditionally small, one storey tall with a thatched roof and a wide veranda.
In India, the term bungalow now refers to any single-family unit. North Americans have stretched its defi nition to include split-level and one-and-a-half-storey homes that occupy a broader footprint than two-storey homes.
In Canada, bungalows became popular in the 1950s. Prior to that, the building lots within our towns and cities tended to be too small for sprawl. Even when their lot was generous, many people built up rather than out in order to preserve most of their land for vegetable gardens or livestock. Lots were big-ger in the suburbs and bungalows became viable.
Today, bungalows are found mostly in the ‘burbs.
More and more municipalities are leaning toward high-density development, as a way to combat urban sprawl.
Th e inner-city bungalows of past eras are giving way to attached two-storey homes and condominium complexes. For real estate developers, it makes more sense to build multi-family housing in town: there’s more of a living to be made.
As a result, people have become cautious about building bungalows on infi ll lots. Th e market value of such homes can plummet when a developer comes along and erects an apartment building next door. People still build bungalows in town, yes, but the cost of land has risen so much in the past fi ve years that only the affl uent can aff ord to do it.
Even if that weren’t the case, the cost per square foot of building a bungalow is still much higher than that of a two-storey home.
Bungalows have a larger foundation and require twice as many roof trusses for the same living area. Both are expensive components of home construc-tion.
For retirees with a limited budget and a yen to live downtown, two-storey homes are still the best bet. Th ey’re less expensive to build, easier to fi nd and less vulnerable to a drop in value. Now, if we could just eliminate those darned stairs . . .

It’s widely reported that Albertans seeking a recreation home are looking at four hot spots in British Columbia: the Windermere Valley, the Okanagan Valley, and the cities of Victoria and Courtenay, both on Vancouver Island.
Each place has its charms. Th e Okanagan has a warm climate, Victo-ria is as gorgeous as ever, and Courtenay has the advantage of being “up island,” with access to some of the world’s best fi shing. Each place is beautiful. So, what are the advantages of buying in the Windermere Valley?
First and foremost, the valley is just a three-hour drive from Calgary. On any given weekend, friends and family can spontaneously hop in their vehicles and come “down” for a visit.
Th ey can catch a plane, too, but they aren’t as likely to do so. Th e cost is much higher and a degree of planning is required.
Lakefront and lakeview proper-
ties are available at relatively reason-able prices. Even if you can’t aff ord a beach house, the public beaches at Lake Windermere are just minutes away for residents of Invermere, Radium and Fairmont. Th e public boat access at the north end of the lake lets everyone get out on the water.
Th e Windermere Valley is the gate-way to all the Columbia Valley has to off er. Th ere are lakes, mountains and vast crown lands to explore, and plenty of recreational amenities, including 15 golf courses.
In fact, every possible amenity you could want while on vacation can be found in the valley: great shopping, res-taurants, art galleries, health spas—it’s all here. And there is always an event or festival of some kind going on.
Finally, the valley’s year-round pop-ulation of 10,000 doubles in the sum-mer, but the traffi c is still relatively light and the beaches are never crowded. Th ere are no long line-ups at restaurants and retail checkouts. You can truly get “away.” How can the Okanaga or Vancouver Island compete with our beautiful valley?

Laminate fl ooring takes a lickingBy Sandra KellyPioneer Contributor
No building material is under more pressure than fl ooring. Ceiling stipple looks good for decades. Paint lasts for eons. But fl ooring is constantly underfoot. It takes a beating and has to stand the test of time. It also has to look good.
Th ere are some hot new trends in fl ooring right now. Laminate and pre-fi nished hardwoods are lead-ing the way, but cork, bamboo and rubber are catch-ing up. Slate and ceramic tile will always be popular. Hardwoods installed and fi nished on-site are as gor-geous as ever, but they’re less popular than before. Th ey use trees, they take longer to install, and they’re not suitable for some climates.
Laminate fl ooring is a manufactured product that makes great use of recycled materials. It has improved greatly since it was introduced. It looks less like coun-tertop material and more like actual hardwood.
It comes in several widths and there is a good selec-tion of grains and colors. And it’s tough, which makes it an excellent choice for people with kids and pets.
For builders, laminate fl ooring is a godsend. Be-cause the boards are pre-fi nished, they require no sanding or staining. And because they click together, there’s no need for nails or glue. A thousand square
feet of laminate can be laid in a single day. If the ho-meowner tires of it after a few years, it can be replaced with very little disruption in household routine.
Pre-fi nished hardwoods are natural woods such as oak and maple that have been pre-sanded and pre-stained. Pre-fi nished hardwood takes a little longer to install and remove than laminate, but plenty of people prefer its more natural look.
It scratches, though, and despite manufacturers’ claims, it can’t easily be refi nished—at least not to its original luster. For the record, hardwoods installed
and fi nished on-site scratch just as easily and are just as hard to repair. Pre-fi nished hardwood’s biggest draw is its look: it’s super attractive.
Cork fl ooring has been around for about eight years. Th e jury is still out on its visual appeal, but it is defi nitely warmer and softer underfoot than stone or hardwood.
Unlike those materials, cork bounces back from marks left by furniture. It’s durable, too, and easy to maintain.
Because it is porous, cork is best suited for use in living rooms and bedrooms. It can be used in kitch-ens and bathrooms but requires an additional coat of polyurethane. When it begins to show signs of wear, cork can be resealed. It lasts for decades. Best of all, cork is naturally silent, which makes it ideal for multi-family housing.
Bamboo fl ooring is the hottest new trend in inte-rior decorating. Bamboo is environmentally friendly because it grows much faster than hardwood. It is fi n-icky, though. It doesn’t like household cleaners, and it marks easily.
Rubber fl ooring is ideal for homeowners with back problems or sore joints. It comes in many styles, shapes and colors.
It’s easy to care for, but it works best for commer-cial applications such as restaurants and health clubs.
Laminate carries a lot of possibilities.

After an unusually long and wet winter in Western Canada, it’s fi nally time to ready your recreation home for another summer of family fun. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
• Do a preliminary walk around the building to check for loose eavestroughs and other small, easy-to-fi x problems.
• Check all the exterior electrical wires to determine if any were chewed by animals over the winter. Look for evidence of burrowing along your foun-dation. Mice and squirrels are adept at getting in.
• Next, check your outdoor plumb-ing spigots. If you forgot to drain them before shutting off the water, the pipes may have frozen and snapped in sub-zero temperatures. Flooding is not the best way to start a holiday.
• Look for evidence of an attempt-ed break-in during the winter months, which is usually damage near windows and doors. You’ll learn what areas of the house to secure more tightly before clos-ing up at summer’s end.
For added security during the sum-mer months, trim all the shrubs and trees and remove all refuse near the house. A tidy yard lets intruders know you’re around.
• Inside the house, check all your
mechanical functions fi rst. Your elec-trical, plumbing and heating systems should all be in good working order. Technicians are super-busy during the summer months. If there’s a problem, it must be addressed.
• Make sure your back-up generator is working, in the event of a blackout.
• Check the food pantry next. Sta-ples such as fl our and sugar may be in-fested with bugs or mice. Replace old herbs and spices. Boxed foods should be checked for past expiry dates. And, of course, anything swollen or bulging in the freezer should be tossed out.
• Finally, air out the house to get rid of musty odors. It also doesn’t hurt to freshen your bed linens by hanging them outdoors for a few hours.
• Remember there are now a num-ber of businesses in the Columbia Val-ley that are here specifi cally to care for your cabin during your absence.
Home security including drive-by checks, landscapers and maintenance people, and “cabin concierge” services including airing and cleaning your home and restocking your pantry before your arrival are now available. Local ca-terers can provide you and your guests with full meal service.
To fi nd these services, check the “Here to Serve You’ pages in our news-paper, or view them on-line at www.co-lumbiavalleypioneer.com.

Red Blue-infused reds move to burgundies with a
touch of raspberry. In 2008, the trend will be to a more saturated Chinese red and a more retro berry-like mauve.
Orange Yellow-based reds, or orange, becomes more
upscale. Its been toned down, deepened and moved toward a more copper tone. A more pink/orange coral will emerge as well as darker, spicier oranges.
Yellow Bright yellow is best used as an accent color. Soft
creamy neutral yellow has become a classic. In 2008, look for a classic gold, along with a green-infl uenced gold that moves toward khaki.
Green Look for sage greens, spa greens, mossy greens and
olives, celadon and celery. A brighter more botani-cal green and a new version of spruce also come into play. Dark, hunter green remains a classic.
Blue New spa-like colors range from watery aqua to
deeper tropical lagoons, from robin’s egg blue/green to dark, rich turquoise. While navy blue remains a classic, there are also new versions of darker blue that move toward lapis and midnight blue.
Purple Purple is an important accent color. Light lilac
and blue-infl uenced light purple will be popular in 2007, while 2008 sees purple getting grayer and infl uencing brown.
Brown Camel, tan, taupe, and brown-infl uenced creams
are wonderful neutrals, along with rich, chocolate browns.
Gray Watch for a soft, brown-infl uenced gray in early
2007 with a darker, almost black gray introduced later in the year. For 2008, gray remains but in darker versions of pewter, storm cloud gray, and gray fl an-nel.

Cathy’s Workshop: build a bird feederBy Cathy DalrymplePioneer Columnist
On the heels of Wings Over the Rock-ies, I thought it would be nice to help out our fi ne feathered friends.
I found this to be a sturdy yet simple design and the birds love it! It’s a quick little project that can be completed on a lazy day with the kids.
I used some leftover pine from my woodshop but if you haven’t anything appropriate lying around check the cutoff bin at the hardware store. A three-foot piece of 1x8 will do the trick.
Th e Plexiglas was also left over in my shop but can be substituted for wood if you don’t have or care to buy any. In this case you will require another 16 inches of 1x8 wood.
You can paint all the pieces before assembly with an exterior paint, stain or clear fi nish.
Begin by cutting the base. Now rip (this is the term used for making wood narrower) the two sides and cut a 45-degree angle on the tops ends. Centre them on the base, inset from the edge by one inch.
Using two 1.5-inch screws, attach the ends to the
base from the underside. With a small drill bit make a pilot hole (a drilled hole smaller than the screw being used) before screwing together. Th e wood will likely split if this step is missed.
Cut the Plexiglas windows to size and attach to house sides with three-quarter-inch screws. Th e holes for these screws must be slightly larger than screw be-ing used or the plastic will crack. Th e Plexiglas should be attached about one-quarter-inch down from angled edge of house side.
Cut the roof pieces to size and attach the smaller one fi rst, making it fl ush with the peak of the sides. Attach this with four 1.5-inch screws, again making pilot holes fi rst.
Th e other side of the roof is attached with two little hinges. Th is allows for easy fi lling of the feeder, and occasional cleaning if you are so inclined.
We’re almost done now. Just cut the smaller Plexi-glas pieces to size and attach, being sure to pre-drill the screw holes. Now fi ll it with bird seed and sit back to enjoy watching the birds fl ock to their new feeder.
