About Us<br />

Venture Tax Services is a locally owned and operated<br />

bookkeeping and tax preparation service, centrally located<br />

at the heart of Alberta, in downtown Red Deer. We are<br />

NOT a franchise or part of any large accounting firm.<br />

Branching out of his original home based business, where<br />

he learned the struggles of starting a new business, Mark<br />

opened his doors to the public in 2003 on Ross Street, in<br />

downtown Red Deer. Mark quickly built a quality reputation,<br />

and his client base grew as a result of the many<br />

recommendations and referrals from his satisfied clients.<br />

your return quickly and thoroughly:<br />

KITCHEN<br />

REMODELING<br />

Each year, thousands of Canadian homeowners make the<br />

decision to remodel their homes. One of the most common<br />

reasons for a kitchen remodeling project is change.<br />

The average individual is likely to enter their kitchen, at<br />

least, eight times a day. Unfortunately, overtime you may<br />

find that your kitchen no longer looks attractive or brings<br />

you excitement. If this is how you feel about your kitchen,<br />

it may be time for a change. That change can easily be<br />

accomplished with a kitchen remodeling project.<br />

A kitchen remodeling project means different things to<br />

different individuals. There are some homeowners who<br />

only like to change around one or two things, like their<br />

lighting fixtures and floor tiles, but there are others who<br />

want to change everything. If you are really looking to<br />

make your kitchen like a whole new kitchen, you will<br />

probably want to do a large remodeling project. A large<br />

remodeling project not only includes a large amount of<br />

work, but also a fairly large amount of time, but the end<br />

result is almost always more than worth it.<br />

Despite the fact that a kitchen remodeling project is<br />

almost always worth it, you may still find yourself unpleased.<br />

One of the reasons for that is because of what we<br />

tend to view as a remodeling project. We often associate<br />

kitchen remodeling with just kitchen fixtures, like flooring,<br />

lights, countertops, cabinets, and sinks. As much as<br />

you change the fixtures or structures in your kitchen, you<br />

may still be reminded of your old kitchen, especially if you<br />

are using the same kitchen appliances. That is why it may<br />

also be a good idea to include replacing your kitchen appliances<br />

as part of your next kitchen remodeling project.<br />

As previously mentioned, replacing your entire kitchen<br />

appliances may make it seem as if you are really getting<br />

a new kitchen. In addition to the change, you may also<br />

enjoy the new look, especially if your current kitchen<br />

appliances are quite old. Over the past few years, kitchen<br />

appliances have changed quite a bit. Whether you<br />

are looking to purchase a new dishwasher, refrigerator,<br />

toaster, oven, microwave, or blender, you will find that<br />

you, literally, have an unlimited number of appliances<br />

to choose from. Almost all of the previously mentioned<br />

kitchen appliances come in more than one color; therefore,<br />

whatever color or design you are looking for, you<br />

should easily be able to find it.<br />

Traditional Kitchens<br />

vs.<br />

Modern Kitchens<br />

This Article is Provided by Tony Hilderman from Tormynak Contracting<br />

Tormynak Contracting has a very diverse knowledge<br />

in custom cabinetry and has been serving Airdrie and<br />

surrounding area for over twelve years. In addition we do<br />

work in High River, Edmonton, Cochrane and Red Deer.<br />

Tony Hilderman, the hands on owner has over 20 years<br />

experience.<br />

Tormynak contracting has a couple of key specialties that<br />

separate them from the average contractor. They specialize<br />

in complete KITCHEN RENOVATIONS & CUSTOM<br />

CABINETRY. They have expertise in matching to existing<br />

cabinetry. Like Tony says: “Why change it all if we can<br />

match what you have?”<br />

There are many factors to consider before making the<br />

choice of going for a “Traditional Design Kitchen” or<br />

“Modern Design Kitchen”.<br />

• The Style of your home and other houses in vicinity<br />

• The value of your home<br />

• The budget<br />

• MOST importantly, it’s a matter of personal taste<br />

Modern Kitchens can offer homeowners a more dynamic<br />

and innovative style of kitchen that is anything but ordinary.<br />

A couple of the advantages of modern kitchens are<br />

that they are easy to maintain and there are many options<br />

and accessories available to customize your kitchen to<br />

make it right for you.<br />

Traditional Kitchens look stellar in period homes, including<br />

Victorian and traditional style houses. They tend to<br />

be more rustic and have a “homey feel”. These types of<br />

cabinets boast gorgeous wood that dominate the space.<br />

Remember, Tormynak Contracting are experts in retro-fitting<br />

and matching up with existing cabinets.<br />

We always suggest that our customers do thoughtful<br />

research as they have to live with their decision for a long<br />

time. Gone are the days when the kitchen was only for<br />

cooking. A lot of life happens in the kitchen, no matter<br />

how different our lifestyles may be.<br />

The key to today’s kitchens is to take inspiration from<br />

kitchens of the past and upgrade their look and style with<br />

modern features.<br />

What is is a Reverse Mortgage?<br />

A reverse mortgage allows Canadians 55 and older to unlock up to 55%<br />

of the value of their home to assist with any financial need. The money received<br />

from a reverse mortgage is tax-free, there are no health checks to<br />

qualify for and no payments required for as long as at least one borrower<br />

lives in the home.<br />

Many senior clients are always asking for a solution to increase their cash<br />

flow and manage their debt. The truth is, debt in retirement use to be a<br />

faux-pas, but today, more and more Canadians are entering retirement<br />

with growing debt. The average life expectancy is higher<br />

than ever and the cost of living is often greater than pension incomes.<br />

There are many questions around a reverse mortgage that you may be asking;<br />

this is normal and I am hear to answer those questions for you. No one<br />

file is the same so ask the questions about your home and situation.<br />

For all the information on how to qualify call me today!<br />

Hot Condo Topics<br />

Current condo hot topics include<br />

the Condominium Property Amendment<br />

Act and amended Human<br />

Rights legislation regarding age<br />

restricted housing.<br />

Condominium Property Act<br />

amendments have been created<br />

to improve protection for buyers<br />

of newly constructed units (new<br />

units sold directly by developers)<br />

and existing owners/purchasers of<br />

resale units. Some of the amendments<br />

regarding developers include<br />

strengthening the province’s power<br />

to inspect, investigate and enforce<br />

rules respecting sales, expanding<br />

purchase disclosure information<br />

including a final date by which the<br />

unit must be ready for occupancy<br />

and options to cancel a contract if<br />

that date is not met.<br />

Amendments with regard to existing<br />

owners (or purchasers of<br />

existing condominium units) to be<br />

addressed in regulations supporting<br />

this Act include new restrictions regarding<br />

the registration of a caveat<br />

against a unit’s title for a charge ($)<br />

to a unit for monetary sanctions<br />

imposed under a bylaw or other<br />

debts claimed by the corporation<br />

(may only be registered against the<br />

unit title by caveat if the sanctions<br />

for debts are found by a court to be<br />

valid but remain unpaid), capping<br />

expenses with regard to preparation,<br />

registration, enforcement or<br />

discharge of a caveat, limiting the<br />

amount of monetary sanctions that<br />

can be imposed in accordance with<br />

the bylaws, enabling certain types<br />

of votes to be conducted electronically,<br />

prescribing maximum fees<br />

that can be charged for a corporation’s<br />

documents and clarifying<br />

insurance, maintenance and repair<br />

obligations of the corporation and<br />

those of unit owners. These amendments<br />

are also geared towards<br />

raising standards in Alberta’s condominium<br />

management sector by<br />

designating the Real Estate Council<br />

of Alberta (RECA) as the regulator<br />

of condominium managers and enabling<br />

this body to establish licensing<br />

requirements for condominium<br />

managers, including education and<br />

training requirements.<br />

A new tribunal system will be<br />

framed to be an affordable and<br />

efficient forum/decision maker for<br />

certain types of condo disputes<br />

between Boards, owners, occupants<br />

and other interested parties. The tribunal<br />

will operate under rules and<br />

procedures set out in the regulations<br />

to ensure that hearings are fair<br />

and efficient, but will only operate<br />

in a limited geographic area (such<br />

as Edmonton or <strong>Calgary</strong>) during the<br />

pilot phase. It will be expanded later<br />

to hear a wider range of disputes in<br />

a greater number of locations across<br />

the province. Courts will continue<br />

to hear disputes that fall outside of<br />

the tribunal jurisdiction including<br />

disputes such as unit foreclosure or<br />

modification of the Condominium<br />

Plan.<br />

Changes to Alberta’s Human Rights<br />

legislation prohibits ‘age’ as a form<br />

of discrimination in condos (and<br />

other areas) and other types of<br />

community housing (co-ops and<br />

mobile home sites). Condominiums/<br />

community housing will be allowed<br />

to continue age restrictions from<br />

55 years and above (including the<br />

spouses and significant others under<br />

the age of 55). Condominiums<br />

who have age restrictions under<br />

55 years will be grandfathered for<br />

a period of 15 years. This means<br />

that between now and approximately<br />

2032, condominiums with<br />

age restrictions will have to decide<br />

(and change their bylaws) to either<br />

eliminate the restriction altogether<br />

or set their age restriction at<br />

55 years. There is a national trend<br />

showing that restrictions by age can<br />

affect communities where there is a<br />

critical shortage of housing and this<br />

amendment will help to create a<br />

more level playing field.<br />

REAL HOME ADVICE 11


Above Ground Pools<br />

Essential Care Tips<br />

Soon spring will be here and it will be time to undergo<br />

the task of opening your above ground swimming pool.<br />

Planning will make your job a whole lot easier. There is<br />

nothing worse than realizing you’re short one bag of<br />

shock when you are in the middle of prepping the pool.<br />

So first, you need to make a list of chemicals that are<br />

needed.<br />

The needs will vary depending upon the type of pool<br />

you own. Therefore, this article will talk about it in<br />

general. You should always refer to your pool and pump<br />

instructions for additional information. Things you<br />

will likely need are liquid or powder shock, bromine,<br />

chlorine powder or tablets, sanitizing cartridge for the<br />

cartridge filters, pH increase or decrease and a test kit<br />

to test the chemical levels.<br />

Do not take off just yet and run to the local pool supply<br />

store for chemicals. Stop and take a few minutes to<br />

check out all of your hoses, skimmer baskets, clamps,<br />

gaskets and o-rings. If any of the parts look like they<br />

might need replaced, take them with you to the pool<br />

supply store. It is a lot easier to match replacement<br />

parts if you have the old part with you.<br />

Now that you have the easy part finished, it is time<br />

to begin the fun. The first thing required taking the<br />

cover off. You will want to enlist help for this, because<br />

you want to avoid getting any top water into the pool<br />

water. In an above ground pool, you should siphon the<br />

water off with a hose.<br />

To get a good siphon started, hook up the hose to the<br />

spigot and put the other end of the hose into the top<br />

water. Turn the hose on for a minute to fill it. Next crimp<br />

the hose a foot or two away from the faucet, and with<br />

your other hand, disconnect the hose from the spigot.<br />

Position the hose at a downspout drain to discharge<br />

then let go of the crimp. The water will reverse and start<br />

to drain.<br />

Once you have the water cleared, use a leaf rake to<br />

remove as many leaves and twigs as possible. Next, remove<br />

your cover weights or springs. At this time a few<br />

people positioned around the pool will help to keep<br />

the cover out of the water. Try to fold your cover like a<br />

blanket keeping the crud in the middle then remove<br />

the cover. You need to scrub the cover thoroughly so it<br />

is dry for summer storage.<br />

Now it is time to attach all the pump hoses. Remember<br />

to lube plugs, fittings, valves, and o-rings with petroleum<br />

jelly. Also, be sure to remove any freeze plugs that<br />

were used to cover the hose openings. You will most<br />

likely need to add water to the pool. It needs to be filled<br />

to the skimmer halfway point.<br />

At this point you should start re-circulating the water<br />

and check for any leaks around the pump and hoses.<br />

Once your pool is leak and drip free, skim off as much<br />

floating debris as you can with your skimmer net. Open<br />

all your valves to flood the hoses and prime the pool<br />

pump. Most manufacturers recommend constant recirculation<br />

of the pool water for at least three days. Any<br />

crud and debris on the sides and bottom of the pool<br />

will need to be scrubbed off. Use the broom attachment<br />

of your pool vacuum for this.<br />

After all debris has been removed and the pool has<br />

been scrubbed, check your filter for cleaning. Some<br />

pumps have removable filters; others are back-flushed,<br />

so clean as directed. Once the filter is cleaned, you can<br />

now super shock the water as per your manufacturer’s<br />

instructions. If you start with green water, you will need<br />

a lot more shock. It may take a few days of recirculation<br />

to clear the water. Once the water has cleared, test your<br />

water or take a sample to your pool supply store and<br />

have it analyzed. Adjust the water as required and keep<br />

the recirculation going. All that is now left to do now is<br />

to wait for the water to warm up so you can start enjoying<br />

your pool.<br />

Landscape Can Drive Home Values<br />

The look of your lawn and garden may be the first and<br />

perhaps the most lasting impression people have of<br />

your home and property. Landscaping plays an essential<br />

role in enhancing its beauty and increasing the<br />

value.<br />

Fortunately, homeowners can turn their own landscapes<br />

into works of art at an affordable price.<br />

In recent years, many companies have begun to introduce<br />

more varieties of bagged rock and mulch.<br />

Decorative landscaping stones and mulches are not<br />

only an excellent way to beautify and accent garden<br />

beds, ponds, driveways and walkways, they also provide<br />

natural benefits to the soil and plants. These benefits<br />

include controlling and reducing erosion, retaining<br />

moisture, controlling weeds and insulating the soil.<br />

Here are a few tips on choosing and applying mulch:<br />

• Choose mulch that is long lasting and not easily<br />

washed away.<br />

• Pick mulch that has a loose structure to let water<br />

pass through quickly.<br />

• Apply mulch in late spring. This helps reduce soil<br />

temperature and save water.<br />

•<br />

• Apply fine mulches one to two inches deep. Coarse<br />

or fluffy mulches should be put on three to four<br />

inches deep.<br />

•<br />

• Apply mulch evenly and level it with a rake or your<br />

hands.<br />

•<br />

• Wet thoroughly after applying mulch.<br />

Pull mulch a few inches away from plant stems and tree<br />

trunks.<br />

To further control weeds and keep plants healthy,<br />

there’s a new mulch called Vigoro Mulch with Weed<br />

Stop. It’s the first to contain pre-emergent herbicide,<br />

controlling unwanted weeds for up to four months yet<br />

allowing bulbs, established flowers, shrubs and trees<br />

to thrive. This mulch is certified by the Mulch and Soil<br />

Council as only containing natural forest products.<br />

REAL HOME ADVICE 17


Maintaining The Quality Of<br />

The Floors In Your Room<br />

Floating floor boards are usually used in the<br />

surface mediums; that’s why it is more prone<br />

to liquids and warps. Mopping is never recommended<br />

if you have this kind of flooring.<br />

How to clean your floor properly<br />

Sweep and vacuum the floor regularly and<br />

use a dust mop to get rid of any accumulated<br />

dusts.<br />

Use a damp cloth and a mild cleanser to clean<br />

any stubborn dirt or spills on the floor. Never<br />

use any abrasive scrubber on your floor boards<br />

because it can damage its quality.<br />

As much as possible, never spill any water on<br />

the floor because it will result to any damage.<br />

If ever this accident may happen, immediately<br />

use a sponge or a dry cloth to get rid of the<br />

water.<br />

If ever there are paint, food stains or nail polish<br />

spilled on the floor, use a rubbing alcohol or<br />

a nail polish remover to get rid of the stains.<br />

Wipe out the debris and never scrub the floor.<br />

If wax is spilled on the floor, wait for it to dry up<br />

and cool. Gently scrape the wax away and later<br />

on use a sponge to wipe the area.<br />

If there is a chewing gum stuck on the floor,<br />

you an ice to harden it and scrape it away like<br />

the way you did on the wax. Again, wipe the<br />

area with a sponge to clean it.<br />

Always check the manufacturer on how to<br />

clean the floor boards. Some manufacturers<br />

may want you to use specific brands to help<br />

you maintain the cleanliness of the floors.<br />

Tips for your floor boards<br />

Do not let the floor have long periods of time<br />

directed by sunlight, it can cause discoloration<br />

of the floor or fade its colour. Use protectors<br />

underneath your furniture to prevent any<br />

scratches on the floor.<br />

Place doormats on every door to trap the dirt<br />

immediately and reduce it going to the floor.<br />

If you have petsComputer Technology Articles,<br />

always trim their nails so that they won’t<br />

scratch your floor.<br />

Don’t wear a stiletto heels when on the floor<br />

because it can also scratch the floor.<br />

Remember that a floor board that is constantly<br />

cleaned can have a longer life and can maintain<br />

its beautiful quality. Make sure that you<br />

exercise good judgment in every stain that<br />

might incur.<br />

Your Guide To Buying<br />

Security Cameras<br />

Today’s technology has made setting up security precautions<br />

such as security cameras a cinch! You no longer need to be a<br />

millionaire to set up one. You could even install one yourself!<br />

Security cameras provide a means for its owner to watch over his<br />

or her property from the safety and convenience of any area he<br />

chooses. This type of system is a great deterrent to thievery and<br />

unwanted entry. Most organizations that have sensitive items or<br />

are off limits to the general public employ these cameras to help<br />

keep their places safe.<br />

Purchasing and implementing such a system may save your<br />

business from the terrors of illegal entry. Investment in such<br />

could save you a whole lot of trouble. Before purchasing a system,<br />

you will want to consider the following factors.<br />

Study your needs. The type of security measures installed will<br />

depend on your specific security needs. For example how large<br />

is the area you would like covered? How many cameras will it<br />

take to monitor this area? You must make sure the security camera<br />

system you will purchase can accommodate enough slots for<br />

expansion.<br />

Do you need audio too? Some camera systems have audio<br />

recording equipment as well so you can not only see what<br />

happens, but hear it as well. This is important in cases when you<br />

would like everything documented. However, this may be costly.<br />

Many establishments only require video records of their security.<br />

Also, you must ascertain whether you need to have your security<br />

cameras record in color or black and white. Color cameras are, of<br />

course, more sophisticated and show a clearer picture. However,<br />

they tend to be pricey. Color cameras might also not work in<br />

low-light situations.<br />

Consider the location of the cameras. Will the location be hard to<br />

set up a wiring system in? In that case, you may want to consider<br />

wireless security camera systems. However, these cameras<br />

must be in a place that is conducive to high quality broadcast.<br />

There must be no interference. They can, though, be moved<br />

around the area. They are a bit more flexible than their fixed-wire<br />

cousins.<br />

Will the camera system be for outdoor purposes? Cameras that<br />

monitor outdoor locations need special weatherproof housings<br />

and may not be recommended for extreme temperatures and<br />

various elements. Also those that may be vandalized must be<br />

protected against such. Also, you must take in consideration the<br />

lighting for an area. If your camera cannot record a scene due to<br />

bad lighting, you will end up with muddy images that won’t help<br />

in your surveillance activities. Choose a security camera that has<br />

a good sensitivity to light. Also, try to illuminate such areas with<br />

external lighting.<br />

Consider the available methods for recording the images. You<br />

may use a variety of backup media. And with the advent of computer<br />

storage media, even the use of hard disks, compact discs,<br />

and DVDs can prove to be an inexpensive way to store your data.<br />

Most home security cameras require little wiring, but installation<br />

differs according to model. Here are the basic steps:<br />

• Survey the area to be monitored. Follow the instructions/<br />

manual that comes with your security camera product. Install<br />

the camera at a proper distance from the area to be surveyed.<br />

Cameras vary in the distances from which they focus,<br />

so it would do well to pay notice to such.<br />

• Secure the camera using proper mounts, etc. Make sure that<br />

if the camera you are to install should not be moved, its placing<br />

should be secure and tamper proof.<br />

• Connect the camera to the monitor according to the manufacturer’s<br />

directions. Make sure the wiring is as hidden and<br />

as secure as possible. This will make it harder for vandals and<br />

thieves from damaging your wiring.<br />

• Fine tune your system. Make sure you optimize the images<br />

you receive from the camera. Set a maintenance plan and fail<br />

safe plans to employ in case your cameras break down.<br />

• Organize an archival system according to your needs. Backing<br />

up and recording your images are implemented here.<br />

You must consider where the power sources will be located.<br />

Make sure they are well protected against the elements and<br />

from tampering.<br />
