While all the dry, hot weather is nice for barbecues and beach visits, it is making for a dangerous wildfire situation.

Grand Forks is presently rated 5, the highest rating, for extreme wildfire danger at the Southeast Fire Centre. The city received the rating on Monday after a few days with a 4 (high danger).

Fanny Barnard of the Southeast Fire Centre said that residents need to be cautious particularly around campfires, which are not presently banned.

“We have had wardens out on patrol and there has been a lot of abandoned campfires throughout the Southeast Fire Centre,” said Barnard. “It’s still really important for people to know before they leave an area for any amount of time that the ashes have to be cool to the touch.

Anytime you light a campfire you need to have eight litres of water or more and tools such as a shovel to properly extinguish it.”

Barnard said that anyone leaving a campfire burning could be fined up to $350. They could also be held responsible for the full cost of fighting any escaped fire.

“We had one initial attack crew respond to an escaped campfire in Cranbrook,” she said. “But it’s out now.”

The fire rating is based on a

number of criteria collected at each respective weather centre including the build-up index for humidity, moisture of combustible materials, and weather.

“In April we’ve had 50 per cent of normal precipitation at the Castlegar airport,” said Barnard. “The fuel is much dryer than normal.

There was some precipitation in Grand Forks recently but most of the precipitation has been really scattered. There hasn’t been heavy rain fall.”

Barnard also stresses that campers need to take wind into account when selecting a site to build a campfire.

“It has to be away from combustible materials, obviously,” she said.

“You need to have a guard built around it deep into the soil. Only light what you can reasonable expect to put out if it does escape.”

The Southeast Fire Centre will be releasing an open fire restriction category 2 and 3 for the entire region, which will start Friday.

“The ban will take into account industrial burning, backyard burning, barrels, fireworks, sky lanterns, grassfires…anything but a campfire less than a half metre by a half metre in size or camping stoves that use briquettes or propane,” said Barnard.

The fire danger rating for Christina Lake is 4 (high rating), while the rest of the Boundary is 3 (moderate rating).

Landfill fees increase CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Residents may have noticed an increase for tipping fees at the landfill recently.

The rise in costs, which went into effect on May 1, are necessary for the RDKB to maintain the solid waste management services by increasing user fees instead of taxes.

Regional solid waste management is a region-wide service funded by a combination of user fees

and taxes, with the majority of revenue coming from user fees.

“It’s designed to recognize the value of curb-side collection service,” said Tim Dueck, solid waste program coordinator. “The charge for a bag of garbage in the curbside service is $3. If people in Area D or Area C use the curbside service it’s a dollar cheaper than bringing it to the landfill. Ultimately, the landfill is an industrial site.

normal or lower than normal snow packs.

Temperatures have been warmer than normal for this time of year and precipitation has been lower than normal for this time of year.

Environment Canada is forecasting a very high likelihood of above normal temperatures over the May to July period.

As a result water conservation will be an important factor as we move into the summer months. Also, with the below average precipitation and above average temperatures so far this spring, the forests are already very dry in many areas and extreme caution will have to be exercised at all times.

So far this year the Wildfire Management Branch has responded to 25 fires in the Southeast Fire District (includes Boundary zone), all of which have been human caused.

Open Fire – Backyard Burning An open fire or backyard burn is: • Waste materials in one pile not exceeding 2m in height and 3m in width.

• Burns material concurrently in 2 piles each not exceeding 2m in height and 3m in width.

• Burns stubble or grass over an area that does not exceed 0.2ha.

• Open burning exceeding these dimensions must obtain a permit at 250-365-4040.

A person may light an open fire within 1km of forest or grass land when: • The person is not prohibited to do so under another enactment.

• It is safe, and is likely to continue to be safe to do so.

• The person establishes a fuel break around the burn area.

While the fire is burning and there is a risk of the fire escaping, the person ensures that: • The fuel break is maintained.

• A fire suppression system is available at the burn area, of a type and with a capacity adequate for fire control, if the fire escapes.

• The fire is watched and patrolled by a person to prevent escape and the person is equipped with sufficient fire fighting tools.

• The fire does not exceed the capacity

Spring Freshet Update

he average snow level in the Boundary basin as of May 1 is 58% of normal snowpack.

The provincial average is 69% which is the lowest May 1st measurement in the past 31 years on record.

Pretty much all of the mid-range snowpack is gone. This snowpack is what largely affects the rivers during spring freshet. The high-range snowpack is well below average for this time of year. As a result we may see lower than normal river water levels during the summer.

The seasonal river run off is earlier than normal this year and we will likely not see any higher levels than what we see now. However flooding is always possible during the snow melt freshet season, even in areas with

by New York in the finals the year before, but the team’s talent had matured, and their offensive onslaught overwhelmed the four-time defending champs.

The now legendary Wayne Gretzky led the 1983-84 Oilers with 87 goals and 205 points; this was the second time he had scored 200 points in a year, a feat no one else had yet accomplished. Gretzky’s main partner on the ice was center Mark Messier, who had 101 points in 198384. The team’s other stars included right wingers Jari Kurri and Glen Anderson, with 113 and 99 points, respectively, and the high-scoring defenseman Paul Coffey.

School rankings released CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Once again the Fraser Institute has released their annual school rankings and one local elementary school is near the bottom, while another is in the middle.

The Fraser Institute’s elementary school rankings are based on province-wide Foundation Skills Assessments (FSA) at grades 4 and 7 levels. The rankings also take into consideration a number of relevant, objective indicators of school performance.

Hutton Elementary School was ranked 463rd out of 978 schools in the province with a 6.1 rating in 2013-14. Dr. D.A. Perley Elementary School was near the bottom of the list of schools with a ranking of 916th out of 978 with a rating of 3.3 for 2013-14.

School District 51 board chair Teresa Rezansoff dismisses the Fraser Institute results as being inaccurate and biased.

“I don’t think there’s any validity to them at all,” said Rezansoff, who is also the president of the B.C. School Trustees Association.

“There are so many other factors that they take into account that have absolutely nothing to do with student learning–in the sense of the things that happen in the school. I don’t think they’re relevant.”

Rezansoff doesn’t think the low scores at Perley are any cause for concern. “Our students, they rank at or above expectations or above the average of the province in the testing that we do provincially, the testing we do locally. The stats we get in all the data we keep—our students are at the very minimum at or above provincial standards.”

Hutton’s 2014 academic performances: Grade 4 reading – 505 (499 in 2013) Grade 4 Writing – 585 (537 in 2013) Grade 4 Numeracy – 488 (466 in 2013) Grade 7 Reading – 469 (542 in 2013) Grade 7 Writing – 569 (632 in 2013) Overall rating out of 10 – 6.1 (6.6 in 2013) Hutton’s Grade 4 enrolment was 35. The percentage of special needs students was 7.5.

Perley’s 2014 academic performances: Grade 4 reading – 477 (480 in 2013) Grade 4 Writing – 619 (621 in 2013) Grade 4 Numeracy – 464 (548 in 2013) Grade 7 Reading – 442 (455 in 2013) Grade 7 Writing – 435 (579 in 2013) Overall rating out of 10 – 3.3 (6.0 in 2013) Perley’s Grade 4 enrolment was 42. The percentage of special needs students was 11.4.

The Fraser Institute’s secondary school report cards are compiled using provincial exam results, grade to grade transition rates, and graduation rates.

Grand Forks Secondary (GFSS) saw big increases as the school’s overall rating went from 5.8 out of 10 in 2013 to 6.7 in 2014. GFSS is ranked 96th out of 289 schools throughout

the province ranked in 2013-14.

Grade 12 enrollment at the school was 71, while the percentage of special needs students was 8.5. The graduation rate in 2014 was 94.3 per cent, up from 2013’s 93.2. The average exam mark was 69.6 per cent in 2014 up from 69.2 in 2013.

“We don’t place a lot of emphasis of the Fraser Institute’s report; however, it feels good to see our kids performing well,” said Scott Stewart, GFSS principal. “It only measures one aspect of a school and compares public schools to private schools. While we continue to work hard to prepare kids academically, our emphasis has been on building connectedness and grit, which, of course, also helps kids be successful.”

Boundary Central Secondary (BCSS) received an overall rating of 4.8 in 2014 down from 5.1 in 2013.

BCSS was ranked 225th out of 289 schools in 2013-14. The Grade 12 enrollment for the school was 28, while the percentage of special needs students was 13.8. The graduation rate was 95.5 per cent in 2014 down from 100 in 2013. The average exam mark was 68.5 per cent in 2014 down from 69.6 in 2013.

Christina Lake Elementary School does not appear in the rankings as each school must have a minimum number of students in the grades from which the data is drawn.

Thousands handed out The Khehra family of Rilkoff’s Store generously hosted an East Indian lunch on the Mother’s Day wekeend. The luncheon has become so successful over the years that this year, family and volunteers dished up for hours on both Saturday and Sunday, raising a total of $7,050 in donations. The Khehras invited representatives of the three charities on Friday to accept donations of $2,350 each.

Robb’s Ride brings 250 cyclists to town SUBMITTED

to the Grand Forks Gazette

Once again, an international cycling event is coming to Grand Forks.

Robb’s Ride returns for its ninth year, a three-day fun but challenging event for serious road cyclists. This year’s route is centred in Grand Forks which makes it a boost to local businesses, particularly hotels and restaurants, and our local bike shop, Chain Reaction.

The Grand Forks Cycling Club is a staunch supporter of the annual event, which started in 2006 as an early season training event for a few, keen club members. The local cycling club is proud of its wonderful array of cycling routes for both road and mountain cyclists and is always looking for ways to promote safe and enjoyable cycling in this area.

Our local cycling enthusiast, Dr. Robb Sebastian, has put together an event for cyclist of all abilities. The three days of rides cover local and U.S. terrain. Day one starts at noon on Friday, May 29 with a police escorted ride through town. Cyclists appreciate the smiles and support of town folk who stop to applaud the riders as they pass through downtown before heading up the North Fork – Granby loop, a ride of

110 kilometres.

This year, day two is endurance day.

Riders may choose from two challenging routes south of Grand Forks in Washington state. The shorter 107-kilometre ride up Boulder Pass climbs over 1,000 metres and the 180-kilometre Sherman Pass option tops 1,400 metres of elevation gain.

Both routes provide riders with the requisite climb that is integral to road cycling success and provide a huge sense of accomplishment once the summit has been reached.

The descent from these passes presents yet another challenge as riders reach speeds of up to 80 km/h. A fast descent is not for the faint of heart and, in cool weather, can be chilling in more ways than one!

Day three is a kinder, gentler ride as cyclists head to Greenwood for coffee and cyclist-inspired goodies at Deadwood Junction. This local gem is a huge supporter of all cyclists, whenever they arrive, and is a favourite fueling stop for Grand Forks Cycling Club members on their weekend rides.

It is amazing how much improvement a rider can gain in an intense three-day event like this. Riders new to the event are encouraged to train but are also advised by seasoned veterans that by day three, you

can feel how much stronger you are!

Meals on Friday and Saturday evenings are locally sourced and draw on the heritage of the area. Saturday’s supper will be provided by local Doukhobor ladies who are cooking up a heritage meal of borscht and bread.

As always, safety is paramount to making any cycling event a success. Cyclists are advised to be aware they are sharing the road with motorists and we ask the same respect in return from those in vehicles.

Forgive us when we get chatting–sharing cycling stories or just plain visiting– and ride two-abreast. We realise this is not a good practice and most of us reserve it for lesser travelled roads.

There are times, however, when we are legitimately overtaking a slower rider or dropping back in a pace line; these instances of riding two-abreast cannot be avoided and we ask consideration of motorists with whom we share the road.

This is a beautiful part of British Columbia. Grand Forks Cycling Club and all his fellow Robb’s Riders thank Robb Sebastian for continuing to create this amazing cycling adventure for so many.

YOUR NEWS VIEW

Landfills do fill up

It wasn’t long ago that we just tossed everything into the garbage. It was picked up once a week and dumped into the landfill without a second thought. We began to realize that the amount of space on the planet was finite and we needed to reduce our “footprint.” Once recycling became popular it began to make sense to try and separate your recyclables such as bottles and cardboard boxes from your garbage. That means less goes into the landfill and that’s better for the planet.

The next step after recycling was to separate your kitchen scraps as well as your yard waste. The more we can separate and divert, the better off we are.

Those that make the effort to separate can really reduce the amount of garbage that goes into the landfill. And that helps everyone.

The RDKB has gone to a more user-pay system to help pay for waste management costs. If a resident decides they don’t want to bother to separate their garbage and recycling and doesn’t feel the need to compost, they will have to pay more.

They will be the ones who will be incurring greater costs for having multiple garbage bags, which need to go to the dump.

Another factor people need to be aware of is that landfills eventually fill up and closing a landfill and taking care of it afterwards is not cheap. New accounting regulations from the Public Sector Accounting Board means more money must be socked away by the regional district each and every year to pay for the eventual closure of each landfill. The RDKB must calculate how long the landfill will last and that is dependent on several factors including the amount of waste added each year. If that number is reduced then the landfill lasts longer and the closure cost per year is reduced. And that savings is passed on to the residents.

Hair today, gone tomorrow On The Ball CRAIG LINDSAY While, I’ve gone and done it. I’ve signed up for the Grand Forks Relay For Life and committed my lovely locks for chopping. That’s right—I’ll be sporting the cueball look. That is, if the goal of raising $500 is reached.

You people out there can make this happen. To register go to relayforlife.ca and click donate and search for Craig Lindsay. Or you can call me here at the Gazette at 250-442-2191. Or you can drop by the office.

If getting my head shaved in a field in front of a bunch of cheering people isn’t enough motivation, this really is a great cause.

Relay For Life has been around for many years and is a mainstay in most communities across Canada.

I have attended as a reporter and photographer, Relay For Life events in Cranbrook, Castlegar, Merritt and Grand Forks. Each event is different and has its own unique charm. The common thread is people coming out to support those living with cancer and honour those lost to cancer.

The money raised goes towards advancing cancer research and supporting Canadians living with cancer.

Pretty much everyone knows someone who is battling cancer and has lost people to cancer.

It’s a horrible disease that strikes sometimes with little warning and doesn’t distinguish between male and female, young and old, rich and poor.

I’m doing this relay and head

shave for my dad. He was a longtime smoker who quit but ended up with lung cancer 30 years later anyway. He passed away in 2012 after a short but fierce battle with the disease.

After watching what he went through at the end, I would like to see more done to ease the suffering of people with cancer like my father. Relay For Life is a real, tangible way to help.

My father was in his 70s when cancer claimed him. At the other end of the spectrum is Molly Imrie, a young lady whom I had coached in 2006 on the Kootenay regional summer games team.

Molly grew up in Grand Forks and was a ball of energy when she played for our team at the games.

A few months later she went to the doctor complaining of knee pain. She was diagnosed shortly after with bone cancer;

the same cancer Terry Fox had.

Fortunately, through a couple of surgeries, doctors were able to isolate and remove her cancerous cells.

After a long stay at Children’s Hospital in Vancouver and with the support of family and friends, Molly is now a cancerfree, healthy young lady living on Vancouver Island and training to be a nurse.

I think I could say with near certainty that Molly is here today because of the cancer research made possible by fundraising through events like Relay For Life.

So I will relay for my dad and for Molly and for all the other people afflicted by cancer. Please sponsor me for all those reasons and if you can, join a team yourself and participate. Do it for someone you love.

Opinion

Time to raise the bar Plan is to follow on promises on letters to the editor Letters

to the editor

Editor, The Gazette: Over the past few months, Grand Forks City Council has received a few complaints directed towards myself and the mayor, suggesting us to be in a conflict of interest with regards to the water meter program and water rates committee.

As we both had a strong objection to the program during the campaign period, it isn’t surprising that proponents of the commodification of water should object to our involvement.

In January, our acting CAO, at an open public meeting, accused the mayor of being in a conflict of interest with regards to any discussions around water meters. Mayor Konrad denied such an interest and stated in the Gazette that it was “a witch hunt.”

Should these complaints be followed up with legal action it would prove costly for all involved. I take these accusations very seriously and as such, have retained the municipal law firm Baker and Baker at my own expense. Their findings, in alignment with the Community Charter state, “The conflict of interest provisions of the Community Charter would not apply to you.

“Section 104 (a) of the Community Charter provides that if an interest of the council member is a pecuniary interest in common with electors of the municipal-

ity generally; restrictions on participation in matters which otherwise might be considered a conflict do not apply because your interest would be deemed to be in common with the rest of the community. *For a councillor to be precluded from participating in a matter before the council, there must be a pecuniary interest held by that particular member which is different in kind,- not merely in degree, from any pecuniary interest held by electors affected by the matter generally.

In this respect, it is not the matter which is the key issue in determining whether there is an interest in common, but rather it is the issue of a pecuniary interest in the matter.

“In our opinion, you do not have, through your business, a pecuniary interest that is different in kind.”

To further remove myself from the perception of a conflict I have dissolved my personal yard care business and taken work with another company.

I plan on following through with the promises I made to the public in November, to help keep water affordable for all members of our community and to minimise unreasonable government intrusion into residents’ homes.

Julia Butler, Councillor, City of Grand Forks

Dollars are for equipwment Editor, The Gazette: As a member of the Grand Forks Hospital Auxiliary, I have been asked on three different occasions, “Do the dollars you make go to B.C. Med,” because that is what they were informed.

As a member of the executive let me assure you that 100 per cent of our dollars raised at the thrift store go to purchasing of numerous equipment for our hospital, yours and mine.

We are a non-profit society with no paid volunteers. We are committed to raise funding for the comfort of patients, and to purchase equipment. Some of the

equipment we have purchased enables some patients to receive treatment here at home. We all have family, neighbours and friends who use this equipment.

We have also donated funds to the Kootenay Boundary Hospital in Trail for specialized equipment.

We also fund four scholarships each year to students going into health care or the field of medicine.

At Christmas we fund Harvey View and Boundary Lodge to purchase goodies for their patients.

I am proud and grateful for all that • See THRIFT STORE page A9

Do you read the letters to the editor on a regular basis? What do you look for in them? Do you prefer rants, reasoned arguments, or clearly stated information?

If you are a writer of letters, why do you do so? What style do you prefer? What does your choice of words tell your readers about you?

Letter readers must wonder why the authors letters express themselves as they do and why they feel the need to write. What do they expect to accomplish by using volatile language?

Are they venting publicly about an issue or do they have a reasoned statement to share?

Rousing A statement made by Mahatma Gandhi may the Rabble help us understand why the writers of letters to the editor express themselves as they do. Gandhi ROY RONAGHAN stated, “Your beliefs become your thoughts; Your thoughts become your words; Your words become your actions; Your actions become your habits; Your habits become your values; Your values become your destiny.”

Letters to the editor in the May 13 issue of the Gazette tell us more about their authors than about the issues.

David Janzen and Donald Pharand prefer a ranting style, but for what purpose? Is it their preference to avoid clearly made cases? What is their message to their readers?

Pete Matheson takes a more reasoned approach and makes a plea. What does his approach tell us about him?

James Hamilton is clearly disgruntled. Why did he feel a need to write at all?

Pharand holds the view that councils both past and present are inadequate in their elected role. He uses language that only he can give meaning to such as “the Taylor council quagmire” and fails to explain what he means by the “smoke and mirrors” at City Hall.

Janzen appears to see the former city council as a group of bumblers who do not deserve respect. His use of a hackneyed phrase like “the tail wagging the dog” means nothing. He also states, “I am tired of the political crap that goes on in our city and I say to the politicians and bureaucrats to get your act together; it would be a welcome change.” What change would he welcome?

Janzen does not define what he means by “political crap” and leaves his readers wondering what he means when he states that council members and staff should “get their act together.”

Matheson’s makes his position clear when he states, “We need to stop the conspiracy theories, stop believing that there’s a hidden agenda, stop believing that my neighbours are out to cheat me, and start acting like responsible and respectful adults.”

Hamilton is upset with the council’s decision to conduct remedial work at the gravel pit adjacent to the RDKB landfill site at considerable cost and their refusal to discuss his idea of “targeted repair.”

Letters to the editor can be an important part of the information exchange among city residents and outsiders, but they work only if they are written with the purpose of raising awareness and providing information.

Anyone who is thinking of writing a letter to the editor any time soon might take note of some sound advice provided by the Writing Studio at Duke University in North Carolina.

“Consider what kind of persona you want to present, and the advantages and disadvantages of that persona. For example, while it may feel therapeutic to rant about a local politician, if you vitriolically complain about or make fun of someone you disagree with, readers will likely sigh and ignore you. Instead of “preaching to the choir,” think about what it would take to change the views of those espousing different opinions.”

It’s time to raise the bar on the quality of the written exchanges take place through the media. Imagine the influence that well-written, thought-provoking letters could have on the dialogue that takes place on the issues of the day.

Voice of reason prevails Editor, The Gazette: Thumbs up to Peter Matheson.

Finally a voice of reason amid the contraversy.

Betty Anne Mackay, Grand Forks

Just one step!

B.C.’s Lt. Governor Judith Guichon (middle) along with aide Nathan Davies and Area C/Christina Lake director Grace McGregor, pretend to step off the “trestle” at the Christina Lake Welcome Centre.

Guichon gave a short speech and then mingled with area residents over appies and dessert.

Landfill fees we discourage people from driving out to the landfill.”

The most recent tax increase for solid waste management services was in 2006. There will be no tax increase for 2015. The cost for mixed refuse has increased $15/tonne to $110/tonne.

Dueck said that the services the RDKB provides cost money and the board must determine how to pay for those services.

“Our board of directors has made a pretty clear statement over the years that we are shifting the revenue source from taxpayers to garbage users,” he said. “So people who produce garbage will pay more. We recognize that there is an inherent value to having a landfill. There is some tax support for that. Our revenue split at this point is pretty close to 70/30 with 70 per cent being tipping fees and 30 per cent being property taxes.

We think that’s fair.”

Dueck said another big cost the RDKB has had to endure came thanks to accounting changes in B.C.’s landfill liability regulations.

“We used to set aside a contingency fund or a landfill closure reserve,” he said. “We estimated the life of the landfill and how much life was left…the auditors said that wasn’t going to cut it.

What you have to do is calculate when the landfill started, when it

Continued from page A1

will end…it’s a huge increase in the money we’re putting away to look after the place when its closed. Again, that cost has to be paid for by users today.”

Dueck said the RDKB has heard some grumbling from residents about the increase in tipping fees.

“Anytime you increase fees people raise eyebrows,” he said.

“It’s no doubt that no one wants to pay fees. But it’s our board’s strong position that there has to be a value attached to an activity. If we want to reduce garbage and increase diversion you have to put a value on that activity. If people think it’s free and you say people should recycle they’re not going to do it because garbage is free; it has no value. If we all recognize that it’s not some God-given right to dispose of garbage in the landfill then people will look at diversion opportunities.”

The tipping fees, effective May 1, 2015, for commercial and domestic refuse are: Mixed refuse $110 per tonne, with a minimum $10 for under 101 kg – anything less than a tonne (101kg to 999kg) is prorated; per bag – $4; tar and gravel roofing, asphalt shingles – $60 per tonne; and construction/ demolition/land clearing waste – $175 per tonne.

ATV club hosts fun day Even the dogs had fun when the Grand Forks ATV Club hosted a fun day Saturday, May 9 at the Morrissey Staging Area (that’s Niki with club vicepresident Doug Zorn, at left).

The day featured free ATV rides, free maintenance, safety and inspections. Among the speakers were Cst. Renee Thomson, who addressed the crowd and talked about the detachment’s plans to get ATVs, as well as addressing permits and taking questions; the provincial ATV association was on hand; and Barb Stewart of the Boundary Invasive Species Society spoke about weed control and demonstrated how to properly clean an off-road vehicle.

inyl siding is trusted by homeowners looking to add aesthetic appeal to their home’s exterior. Though vinyl siding may seem to be a cut-and-dry type of product, the vast array of vinyl siding colors and styles has created certain trends among consumers.

Made chiefly from polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, vinyl siding is the most commonly installed exterior cladding for residential construction in the United States and Canada, according to the Vinyl Siding Institute. The history of vinyl siding can be traced to Ohio, where it was introduced to the exterior cladding market in the late 1950s by a private company. The process of mixing colors was done by hand, and the product was very inconsistent. New innovations in siding manufacture during the next few decades helped solidify vinyl siding’s place among cladding materials like shake, wood and aluminum.

Vinyl siding can mimic the look of wood shake and even logs on cabins.

Vinyl siding comes in several different types. Here are the key variations, and today’s trends.

Pete Vanjoff 442-7415

➥ Seamless vinyl siding: In the past, siding was created in specific lengths, requiring siding panels to overlap at points, often creating an unpleasant pattern. These points provided spots for insects, wind and moisture to infiltrate, leading to a weaker product. Today there are vinyl siding products that have removed the seams, creating a more visually appealing and durable product. ➥ Solid core vinyl siding: Even the best-made vinyl siding had a flaw: it was not rigid and generally didn’t lie flat against the surface of a home. Solid core vinyl siding alleviates that problem by having a solid backing on which the vinyl panels are attached. The core is then attached to the home. These products also boast a higher-than-average insulation rating because the foam core interlocks during insulation. This makes a solid barrier around the home. ➥ Vinyl shake siding: Vinyl shake siding has been designed and colored to look just like real cedar shakes, but without the maintenance, such as powerwashing or staining, associated with a wood product. Vinyl shake siding offers the same benefits of other types of vinyl siding, but tends to look like it is an expensive cladding material. ➥ Vinyl log siding: Log cabins may seem like an adventure.

However, being surrounded by wood can have its disadvantages, most notably maintenance issues surrounding wood.

molded directly from real lumber, providing a look that mimics real wood, like that used for a log cabin.

As vinyl siding continues to be a favourite among homeowners, certain trends emerge each year. While rich-coloured siding was a popular trend just last year, homeowners engaging in siding renovation products are now turning more to warm, earthy colours. Expect to see more gold, clay, and warm red shades with trim colors only one or two shades off, for a monochromatic effect.

Another trend involves a continued interest in renewable materials or siding comprised of some post-recycled consumer content.

Energy conservation is also on the minds of consumers, and some areas of the country have modified building codes to require continuous insulation of home exteriors to prevent heat and cooling losses more effectively. As a result, more customers may opt for solid core vinyl siding to meet demands for home insulation.

For homeowners who prefer a one-of-a-kind look to their homes, mix-and-match siding trends have developed. Mixing and matching siding styles can create instant curb appeal and an interesting backdrop for outdoor gardens and patios. Stone entryways mixed with vinyl siding as well as a mixing of traditional horizontal siding with vinyl shake or board-and-batten are also considerations.

Give your home an energy makeover The first step in a home energy makeover is to find out where your home is losing money.

Certain municipal and environmental agencies offer home assessments, during which they will do a complete walk-through of your home and highlight areas that can be improved. Private companies also perform energy audits on a home. They may be able to point out appliances, windows or landscaping issues that could be compromising the efficiency of a home.

and window efficiency ratings than the average homeowner.

Until a thorough energy assessment can be made, there are some easy and relatively inexpensive fixes any homeowner can undertake to help improve energy efficiency. ➥ Clean air filters. Trapped dust and debris in a filter makes furnaces and air conditioners work harder. Once filters are free from dust, air can blow more smoothly through the system. ➥ Plug leaks. Air leaks could be sucking energy out of your home and money out of your wallet. Once you find any

leaks, you can use weather stripping and caulking to seal up breaches and save energy and money. ➥ Invest in insulation. Install high-efficiency insulation in attics and between walls to prevent energy loss and keep more warm or cool air in the home. A well-insulated house requires less heating and cooling to keep the temperature indoors stable, and that translates to less money spent on utilities. ➥ Swap out light bulbs. Switching bulbs from incandescent to more efficient LED or CFL bulbs can save money in the long run.

Insurance can protect you

Mold can be potentially harmful The presence of mold in a home is a sight few homeowners want to see. In addition to being unsightly, mold found in a home can be unhealthy.

While certain cleaners may prove effective at removing mold, homeowners who want to remove existing mold growths and prevent future growths may benefit from gaining a greater understanding of mold and why it grows inside homes.

What is mold?

Mold is a blanket term used to describe fungi that can be found both indoors and outdoors. Many species of mold exist, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that some estimates suggest there may be more than three hundred thousand different species of mold. Common indoor molds include cladosporium, penicillium, alternaria, and aspergillus.

Which conditions promote mold growth?

Homeowners may notice that mold tends to grow in specific areas of their homes but not in others, and that’s because molds grow best in certain conditions. Warm, damp and humid conditions, such as those found in poorly ventilated bathrooms and basements, make ideal breeding grounds for mold.

What are the effects of mold exposure?

Molds are a natural and resilient part of the environment, but mold growth indoors should be addressed and avoided. Mold spores are tiny and invisible to the naked eye, and when these spores attach to wet surfaces, they begin to grow. Once these spores begin to grow, they can then affect people in various ways. Roughly a decade ago, the Institute of Medicine found sufficient evidence to support a link between exposure to indoor mold and respiratory tract issues, such as coughing and wheezing in people who were otherwise healthy. The same re-

port found that mold Poorly ventilated bathrooms are may trigsusceptible to mold growth. ger asthma symptoms among people with asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a disease in which the lungs are inflamed when a person breathes in certain dusts he or she is allergic to, in people susceptible to that condition.

Some people who do not have a preexisting condition can still be sensitive to molds. When exposed to mold, such people may experience symptoms like nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation.

How can exposure to mold be decreased at home?

Adequate ventilation is arguably homeowners’ best friend with regard to reducing mold exposure at home. Control humidity levels in areas of the home that tend to be warm and humid, such as the kitchen and bathroom. Install an exhaust fan in the kitchen and bathroom and a window in the bathroom if yours does not already have one.

The CDC recommends that humidity levels be no higher than 50 percent throughout the day, and an air conditioner and dehumidifier can help you keep indoor humidity levels in check, especially during the summer when humidity levels tend to be their highest of any time during the year.

When renovating your home, remove any existing carpeting from bathrooms and basements and toss out soaked carpets or upholstery as well. If painting will be part of your home renovation projects, add mold inhibitors to paints prior to application.

Mold that grows inside a home is unsightly and potentially unhealthy. But concerned homeowners can take several reactive and proactive steps to reduce existing mold growths and prevent them from returning in the future.

Many steps are involved in a successful home remodeling project. A common mistake made by homeowners is failing to consult with a homeowners’ insurance agent before beginning a major home overhaul. Begin by talking with your insurance company and explain the scope of the planned renovations.

While many contractors have business and general liability insurance to protect themselves if a worker is injured, homeowners may need sufficient liability protection in the event a non-contractor gets hurt working on your home. Your insurance company may have other types of insurance to protect you further if you are planning a very large project. Failure to ask about coverage before starting the renovations puts you at risk.

If you will be using contractors and subcontractors, be sure that they are insured and bonded. Should they damage your home or be injured during the renovation, their insurance will cover any resulting expenses. However, if they are not insured or bonded, you may be held liable through your own insurance policy or you may have to pay out of pocket.

Keep all receipts and document the progress of the renovation. You may need this information to present to your insurance carrier after the renovation is complete. This way you can request a new appraisal of the property and secure adequate insurance coverage.

Certain improvements may make you eligible for discounts. For example, a new heating system, energy efficient appliances or an alarm system may qualify you for rebates or lower premiums.

Before homeowners add anything to the soil in their yards, it is first important to determine what that soil needs. Homeowners may notice if soil is overly sandy or full of clay, but further testing can confirm what the soil is lacking. Soil tests are often available through local cooperative extension offices or private laboratories.

Speak with a nursery or garden center about where you can get your soil tested.

A comprehensive test may cost between $5 and $10 and can provide invaluable information that saves you hundreds of dollars in wasted plants and materials, not to mention effort. Some labs also can tailor their recommendations based on the type of planting you will be doing.

For example, a vegetable garden may need different amendments than a row of azalea bushes.

novice gardeners alike. The decaying remains of plants release nutrients that are absorbed into the soil and used by microorganisms and bacteria, creating a healthy environment for plants. Organic material may break up compacted soil to increase drainage. In sandy soil, organic material serves as a sponge to keep water from washing away. Compost and manure are two examples of frequently used organic materials. Both of these materials are readily available at little cost.

Compost can be produced at home from food and plant scraps. Raked leaves and small amounts of grass clippings can be added to compost. Over time, the decomposition process will turn scraps into a nutrient-rich, dark brown substance that provides many plants with all they need to thrive. Compost is particularly useful in vegetable gardens.

Manure should come from herbivores, or those animals that sustain themselves on grass and other plants.

Carnivores can produce harmful bacteria in their waste, which is not safe to use in gardens, particularly food-bearing gardens. Manure can be commercially purchased, or avid gardeners can work out arrangements with nearby livestock owners and farms. These people may be more than willing to give you manure for little to no cost if you cart it away.

Dried manure is preferred because it will have minimal odor.

Additional forms of organic amendments include wood ash, sphagnum peat, wood chips, sawdust, and worm droppings.

Inorganic amendments also may be

other Nature provides plenty to grow healthy lawns, gardens and landscapes. But as many homeowners know, some lawns sometimes need a little extra boost to complement nature.

Soil sometimes must be amended so plants can thrive. Only after the right composition is created can plants take root and perform to the best of their abilities.

The Colorado State University Extension defines a soil amendment as any material added to soil to improve its physical properties. The goal is to provide a better environment for roots.

Depending on what you are starting with, any number of ingredients must be added to the soil recipe. Water retention, permeability, drainage, aeration, nutrients, and water infiltration are some of the things amendments can improve when added to soil.

used, and are usually relied on to improve water retention and drainage. Vermiculite, perlite, pea gravel, and sand are examples of inorganic amendments.

A combination of organic and inorganic amendments can create the perfect mix for your needs.

Soil amendments typically are added to new and unplanted beds. Peat moss and shredded bark take years to decompose and will serve as long-term amendments in the soil. Compost breaks down quickly and may need to be worked in more frequently.

Experts recommend spreading amendments on the planting bed and then using a rake or tiller to work it in to a depth of about nine inches. Particularly sandy soil or soil with a lot of clay may need more amendments.

Permanent plants, such as trees or shrubs, also can benefit from the extra nutrient boost amendments provide.

Sometimes it is sufficient to spread the material over the soil surface and let rainwater and wildlife help distribute it to the plant roots. Otherwise, work it into the top inch or two of the dirt with a hand cultivator.

Soil amendments can be the difference between a thriving garden and healthy landscape and one that has seen better days.

Keep cats out!

Homeowners can employ a variety of techniques to keep felines from digging in the garden. ➥ Keep leftover citrus peels. Orange, lemon and lime peels scattered around the garden may be offensive to cats, who will likely opt to go elsewhere rather than ignore the odor. ➥ Employ technology to surprise or startle the cats. Motion detectors that trigger lights or a sprinkler system can startle cats and keep them away from your garden. ➥ Make the garden uncomfortable to cats.

Many cats do not like the feeling hard materials under their paws. Bury any number of items in the soil to deter padded feet. Some gardeners prefer to use chicken wire or rolled mesh around plants before covering the soil with mulch. The cats step on the dirt and feel the metal underneath, then move on. Branches, brambles, spiky holly leaves, or even rocks may keep cats from enjoying the garden. ➥ Employ natural scented deterrents. Some say that cats will be repelled by human hair.

Urine from predators, like coyotes, may scare cats off, as well. Some cats may not like the smell of marigolds, which can be planted alongside other flowers in an attempt to keep cats at bay. ➥ Erect barriers around the garden. Barriers can keep cats out of gardens. ➥ Make other areas of your property more attractive to cats. Plant catnip far away from the garden, giving cats a place to hang out without putting your garden in jeopardy.

How to create a rainwater harvesting system

R

ainwater collection is a way to conserve water that can be adopted by both private homeowners and businesses. Harvesting water during peak times of precipitation ensures water will be on hand during drought or when water restrictions are implemented. Making use of rainwater reduces reliance on underground wells or municipal water systems. Harvesting rainwater also can help prevent flooding and soil erosion.

The average homeowner can collect thousands of gallons of rainwater each year. To learn just how much water can be harvested, as well as how many natural resources can be produced from that rain, visit www.save-the-rain.com, where men and women can calculate their rain collection potential by geographic location and average rainfall. Afterward, homeowners may be inclined to establish their own rainwater harvesting systems. Here is how to get started. * Determine your roofing material. Potable water can be harvested from homes with sheet metal or slate roofing. Clay or adobe tiles also may be acceptable. Asphalt, wood shingles and tar roofs may leach toxic chemicals into the water, making it unsafe for drinking. This rainwater may only be collected to use for irrigation methods or washing cars and outdoor items. * Check gutter materials. Some gutters are made with lead soldering components. A commercial lead swab test can help you determine if there is lead present in your gutters. At a later time you can choose to replace the gutters if you desire a potable supply of water. * Invest in a collection tank or barrel. A number of manufacturers offer prefabricated rain collection systems complete with collection barrels. Otherwise, you can use your own

barrel or tank to house the collected water. Ensure it is large enough to handle the volume of water collected. * Purchase and install leaf guards. If your home is surRather than have rainwater rounded by many trees, you flow out of downspouts to the probably accumulate leaf ground, homeowners can coland tree debris in your home lect that rainwater in barrels. gutters and downspouts.

Leaf guards will help keep the gutters clear and increase water flow through the water collection system. * Create a water collection area. A portion of the gutter system should be removed so that it connects to the collection barrel or tank. As the rain falls, it will run down the roof and into the gutters before it streams into the downspouts. The downspout connected to the tank will deposit the water directly inside. Filters can be installed to help block the flow of debris. * Outfit the tank for overflow and water usage. A spigot and hose connection makes it easy to use the collected water for outdoor purposes. Many rainwater collection systems are designed with an overflow safeguard that will prevent the water from backing up through the system. It will divert the rainwater back out of the downspout when the barrel or tank is full.

A rainwater collection system harnesses a natural source of water to be used for gardens and other outdoor purposes. This water doesn’t contain chlorine or other additives, making it relatively clean and safe to use. Homeowners should check to see if a permit is necessary to install a rainwater collection system and then begin gathering water for various uses.

Paver walkway or patio adds appeal the style and color of the paving stones you will use in the project. Some homeowners prefer to have the materials delivered to their home to save the hassle of extra heavy lifting and moving.

3. Using a shovel or a tiller, dig down and remove the grass to a depth of four to six inches from the area that will become the path or patio.

4. Fill in the area you dug out with a paver base material, using a tamper (either manual or power-driven) to tamp

down the paver base until it is level and smooth.

5. Apply about one inch of paving sand to further level out the path or patio. This will be the material on which the paving stones are laid.

6. Begin laying the paving stones.

Leave the appropriate distance between stones desired by your pattern. If the paving stones will not have any gap and serve as a continuous patio, leave only the smallest gap between them.

7. Spread more paving sand on top of the paving stones and, using a broom, sweep it over the stones and into the crevices between them to set the stones.

8. Create the rest of the garden design around the patio or pathway using gravel, plants and even edging material to finish the look. Over time you may need to sweep more paving sand over the stones to keep them secure.

Creating a walkway or patio out of paving stones can add aesthetic appeal to a property. Pavers are less permanent than concrete and decking. As a result, it is easier to change the design later on if you want to give the space a new look.

Homeowners who install their own pavers can save a considerable amount of money. Because installing paving stones can be labor-intensive, landscape contractors may charge a premium for installation. However, this is a project that can be tackled by the do-it-yourselfer.

1. Measure and plot out the area that will become the path or patio. The area of the space can be figured out by multiplying length times width. This will help you determine just how much material you will need.

2. Visit the home improvement store or a supplier of stone and other masonry supplies to determine

Cost-effective fencing options

F

encing serves many purposes. Some homeowners erect a fence for privacy, while others do so to contain pets and children.

Because fencing can be expensive, some homeowners look for ways to cut costs, which can be relatively easy, especially for those homeowners willing to consider various materials when erecting their fence.

Traditional fences are available in materials ranging from wood to vinyl to metal. Homeowners have other options at their disposal if they prefer a more natural fence. Different shrubs, trees or grasses can be planted to create a barrier between properties or within the property.

When choosing a fencing material, consider that even a less expensive material may prove more expensive in the long run if it needs significant maintenance or has to be replaced in just a few years.

Therefore, the most cost-effective fencing material may not necessarily be the least expensive one at the store. ➥ Found material: Repurposed wood or metal can be crafted into a rustic, one-ofa-kind fence. Materials can be found that are no cost, requiring only the cost of labor.

Should you build it yourself,

this can be next to nothing. Sometimes existing fences on another property can be disassembled and re-built on your own property for little to no cost as well. ➥ Chainlink/ chainwire: Chainlink fencing is one of the most economical types of boundary fencing. The fencing comes in a variety of diamond sizes and is fixed to galvanized pipes spaced across the perimeter of the property.

Although it is some of the least expensive fencing, it does not offer much privacy on its own.

But if you are looking at fencing simply as a barrier, chainlink could be the way to go. ➥ Picket fencing: A wooden picket fence is another inexpensive fencing material. The pickets can be purchased in various heights, and this fence may be used as garden border fencing or to mark a property line between homes. Spacing the pickets widely apart may cut down on the number that need to be purchased, further keeping the cost down. ➥ Bamboo: Bamboo is a rapidly growing grass that produces a hard wood-like material that is used in many building applications. Bamboo wood can be used to build a fence, but

the natural plant also can be planted to form a living fence for privacy. ➥ Stockade fencing: A stockade fence is one of the more basic wood fencing options.

Wooden slats are placed alongside one another to form an effective and affordable privacy fence. Stockade fencing can be stained or painted to preserve it. Many home improvement retailers sell panels of stockade fencing so that you can make fence installation a do-it-yourself project. ➥ Vinyl fencing: Although vinyl fencing is one of the more expensive fencing materials at the outset (it costs about twice the price of a wood fence), it does pay for itself rather quickly thanks to minimal maintenance. Unlike some other materials, vinyl will not rot or discolor. You also won’t have to purchase stain, paint and expensive cleaners for a vinyl fence. That means once you make the investment, you will have years upon years of maintenance-free enjoyment.

Create an attractive dog run

Dogs can provide companionship, affection and joy. But when dogs spend time outdoors and cause damage to lawns and gardens, that cute and cuddly appeal might dwindle.

Although dogs are beneficial in numerous ways, their tendency to create unsightly messes in the yard have many homeowners wringing their hands in frustration. Erecting a dog run or using other strategies may help to alleviate any damage the dog causes.

A dog run is essentially a fenced-in part of the yard where dogs can play or be trained to relieve themselves. As most pet owners know, dogs, particularly females because their urine is concentrated to one spot on the lawn, can create unsightly urine burns. Looking at patches of burnt, straw-like grass where a lush lawn used to be can be aggravating. The same can be said for finding dog “presents” all over the yard. All it takes is stepping in or sliding in a pile of joy to raise blood pressure. Plus, there’s the extra work of tracking down such presents and having to clean them up.

This can be time-consuming with a big yard, not to mention messy and smelly.

Containing your dog to a run will keep messes all in once place. When the dog cannot be supervised by you, a dog run will be a way to let the dog spend time outside in a way that he or she won’t get into trouble. The run can be constructed of any material you desire, whether chain-link fencing, wood slats, lattice material, or tightly spaced shrubbery. Pea gravel is a good material to use on the floor of the dog run. Not only is pea gravel aesthetically appealing, but it also allows urine to run through into the soil below and will be able to keep feces above for easier clean-up. It also can be hosed off and topped off when gravel is depleted.

Avoid landscape fabrics or artificial turf that is not designed for pets. It may collect waste and lead to the proliferation of bacteria, which can create odor and unsanitary conditions for the dog.

Many people like to camouflage dog runs from the rest of the yard. Trailing vines of ivy or other upward growing plants may suffice. Avoid planting any poisonous plants next to the run so they are not accidentally consumed. It is also best to keep sweet nectar plants away to minimize bee and wasps from flying close to the dog.

If you do not want to segregate your dog from the rest of the yard, find ways to prevent him or her from getting into places you’d rather keep off limits. Cobble rock is often difficult for dogs to walk on. Use it to form barriers of 3 to 5 inches in width to prevent access to certain parts of the yard. Border planting beds with thorny bushes or big rocks that don’t allow traction.

Do make a dog running path by the fence where there is a lot of foot traffic. This way your dog can run back and forth and watch the neighbors go by. Again, pea gravel is a good choice here so that it will mask paw-trodden grass.

How to spot an unhealthy tree Perhaps because they can live for so many years, trees have a way of falling down homeowners’ landscaping priority lists. Trees also tend to be big and strong, so it’s no surprise that they often are overlooked in favor or other areas of a lawn and garden that don’t seem so strong in the face of Mother Nature.

But trees are susceptible to damage and disease, and homeowners who learn to recognize symptoms of such problems can prevent them from escalating and reduce the risk that the trees will cause damage to their properties. The following are just some of the ways homeowners can determine if their trees are unhealthy. Homeowners who suspect they have a tree that poses a safety risk should contact a professional tree service for an immediate inspection and steer clear of the tree until an inspection has been performed. ➥ Check around the base of the tree. The base of a tree may offer some telltale signs that the tree is unhealthy. Soil that is cracked or raised at the base of the tree may be indicative of a tree that has started to uproot. If you recognize any cracking or if the soil is raised, look at the tree to see if it is leaning. If the soil is cracked or raised because it is uprooting, then the tree might have already started to lean in the

Do It All Service

opposite direction of the cracking or raised soil. ➥ Examine for fungus. The growth of fungus on the tree trunk or close to it may be a sign that the tree is rotting or decaying. Fungal growth, such as a sudden population of mushrooms, around the base of the tree is another sign of decay. If the wood behind fungal growth crumbles easily, then homeowners should call a professional tree service, as the fungal problem on the tree has likely already been festering for quite some time. ➥ Look for cavities on the trunk. Cracks and cavities on a tree may not be an emergency, but especially deep cracks and cavities may be indicative of a structural problem. Multiple cracks and cavities also serve as red flags. ➥ Look for dead wood. It may sound simple, but dead wood poses a threat to the tree and anyone who happens to spend time in its vicinity.

Watering tips for a healthy lawn Summer is a season for landscaping, and homeowners who live in regions that get especially hot in the summertime often worry that their lawns won’t make it through the dog days of summer looking lush. But lawns don’t have to succumb to the sizzling summer sun. Oftentimes, the right watering strategies can help homeowners nurse their lawns through the hottest months of the year, ensuring the lawns make it to autumn looking as green as they did back at the height of spring. ➥ Reconsider when you’re watering. Come summertime, homeowners may want a glass of water at high noon, when temperatures seem to be at their hottest. But you and your lawn are different, so the best time to satiate your thirst is not necessarily the best time to water your lawn.

Watering in the middle of the day is often ineffective, as water tends to evaporate quickly in the afternoons when temperatures are peaking.

Nighttime watering can contribute to the growth of fungus, which can create an entirely new set of headaches for homeowners. Morning watering sessions tend to be most effective during the summertime, as temperatures tend to be cooler in the morning, leading to less evaporation. Less evaporation means all that watering isn’t going to waste. ➥ Reconsider your sprinkler. If you can’t afford an in-ground irrigation system, which many landscaping professionals feel is the most effective and efficient way to water a lawn, then you likely will rely on a sprinkler to keep your lawn looking lush through the summer months. When choosing a sprinkler, look for one that shoots water out horizontally as opposed to vertically. A

vertical sprinkler system is more vulnerable to wind and evaporation than one that shoots water out horizontally, so make sure your sprinkler system is sending water into your lawn and not into summer breezes. ➥ Avoid overwatering. How much water your lawn needs in the summertime depends on a host of factors, including where you live and how often rain falls in that region. Overwatering can promote the growth of fungus and adversely affect your lawn’s root system, making it difficult for roots to grow deep. Speak with a local landscaping professional to determine how often you should water your lawn each week. ➥ Strategically position your sprinklers.

When choosing where to put down your sprinklers, hook them up to your hose, turn them on and then watch to see where the water is going.

Areas that exposed to sun are most in need of water, so make sure the bulk of your water isn’t going to shaded areas beneath trees. In addition, make sure you aren’t wasting water on sidewalks, patios and driveways. Sprinklers should be positioned so none of the water they’re shooting out is landing on surfaces that don’t need water. It sounds simple, but too often homeowners drop their sprinklers down, turn them on and then walk away without waiting to see where the water is landing. Position sprinklers or adjust sprinkler heads so all the water is landing on your lawn.

Keeping a lawn lush and green at the height of summer requires homeowners to adopt effective strategies. Such a strategies can make the difference between a lush landscape and one that succumbs to summer heat.

Dirty windows are unsightly, and they can prevent beneficial sunlight from entering a home. Cleaning windows need not be done every week, but it shouldn’t be overlooked completely, either. While it certainly may be a chore to clean windows, there are ways to make the task much more tolerable.

Curb appeal can be very important when selling a home. Even a home with a perfectly manicured lawn and the newest roofing and siding can seem unappealing if the windows are dirty.

Keeping windows clean requires a good deal of work. For the acrophobics, cleaning second-story windows can test the nerves. Having the right tools on hand and a strategy in place will make the job easier to manage.

Having everything at the ready will enable you to move from one window to the next. Here are the basic supplies you will need: • cleaning solution • cloth, newspaper or squeegee • towel • spray bottle • extension pole to reach high windows • vacuum

• ladder or step stool • garden hose 2. Take down and clean drapery or blinds when cleaning the windows.

Remove the curtains so you will have an unobstructed surface with which to work.

3. Start with the interior side of the windows, as they are easier to access.

Place a towel on the sill to catch any drops so the sill or the floor will stay dry.

4. Spray a lint-free cloth or the window directly with the cleaning solution.

The edges and corners of the window tend to accumulate the most grime, so begin by cleaning those areas first.

Once they are clean and you will not exchange dirt to the center of the window, work on the middle. Wipe the windows in a horizontal direction to help alleviate dripping.

5. To create a streak-free surface, some people prefer to use a squeegee to drag out any pockets of moisture for more even drying. Be sure to wipe the rubber strip of the squeegee after each pass on the window. You may choose to buff out any other streaks with newspaper.

6. Vacuum the window sill and frame afterward to catch any dust and debris.

7. Repeat the process for all interior windows.

8. Move outdoors and start off by spraying the window with a garden hose to loosen any of the accumulated grime. Use your cleaning solution to dissolve the rest of the dirt. You may want to let it sit on the window if there is stubborn grime. Repeat the cleaning

process used indoors for each window.

9. If exterior second-floor windows are hard to reach, consider using a ladder and extension pole to extend your reach. Upper windows will not be scrutinized as closely as lower windows, so you may have a greater margin for error.

If the windows are simply too high up, rely on a professional window cleaner to get the job done rather than risk falls or other injuries.

Mix your own cleaning solution

It may take trial and error to find a solution that works. Here is one recipe you may want to start with.

1 cup white vinegar 1½ cups rubbing alcohol 2 drops of dish soap Pour into a clean and empty spray bottle. Remember: Never mix bleach and ammonia together to create a cleaning solution, as toxic fumes will result.

Basics of kitchen cabinet refacing

Grand Forks Gazette

Homeowners who want to give their kitchens a brand-new look without the expense or the hassle of a full-scale renovation often gravitate toward kitchen cabinet refacing.

Cabinet refacing is less expensive and more eco-friendly than a full replacement of existing cabinets, and experts estimate refacing costs roughly two-thirds less than a complete cabinet renovation. Refacing involves replacing the doors and drawer fronts of existing cabinets during which the cabinet boxes are veneered to match the wood color chosen for the refacing, while the structure and layout of the cabinets remains unchanged. Essentially the kitchen footprint will remain the same as it was before the refinishing took place.

Homeowners have options when refacing their cabinets. While some projects, such as stripping off old paint and repainting, can be a do-it-yourself project,

We go above and beyond!

Phone: 250-443-4144

refacing cabinets may be best left to the professionals. Veneer work, which is often part of cabinet refacing, is not a skill one can learn overnight, and it often requires the hand of a professional carpenter.

Many cabinets can be resurfaced successfully. Older cabinets are prime candidates, as they often are more sturdy than newer cabinets. In general, cabinets can be refaced as long as their substructures are sound.

In addition to providing a new look for the kitchen, cabinet refacing is an eco-friendly project. By not demolishing existing cabinetry, homeowners are preventing old materials from ending up in landfills while saving trees from being cut down to construct new cabinets.

Homeowners can choose among wood, veneer, metal, and even glass doors as replacements in the kitchen. Coupling

cabinet refacing with replacement of old appliances can completely transform the appearance of the kitchen in relatively little time. Many refacing projects go as follows. ➥ Measurements are taken and technical drawings are made so that new cabinet materials can be manufacturered to the kitchen’s exact specifications. ➥ Homeowners choose the type of finish they prefer for the new cabinetry. ➥ Manufacturing takes place, and homeowners will schedule a time when the work will commence. ➥ Existing doors and drawer fronts will be removed and recycled or disposed of. ➥ If cabinet frames and boxes need to be repaired in any way, some refacing companies will take care of this. ➥ Cabinet boxes and frames are covered in a matching veneer or plastic laminate. ➥ The new doors and drawer fronts are installed, as are new handles, pulls and moldings to complete the look.

Last Will & Testament Power of Attorney Representation Agreement

On Tuesday, May 26, Spotlight Films will be presenting the French/Australian/Canadian collaboration The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet.

This film, directed by Jean Pierre Jeunet (director of Amelie) who also co-wrote the screenplay with Guillame Laurant, is based on the novel by Rief Larson, The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet.

T.S. Spivet (Kyle Catlett, Poltergeist 2015) lives on a ranch in Montana with his mother, Dr. Clair, (Helena Carter, Fight Club, The King’s Speech) who is obsessed with the morphology of beetles, his father (a cowboy born a hundred years too late), (Callum Keith Rennie, Fifty Shades of Grey) and his 14-year-old sister, Gracie (Niamh Wilson, TV series Degrassi) who dreams of becoming Miss

America. T.S. is a 10-year-old prodigy with a passion for cartography and scientific inventions.

One day, he receives an unexpected call from the Smithsonian museum telling him that he is the winner of the very prestigious Baird prize for his discovery of the perpetual motion machine and that he is invited to a reception in his honour where he is expected to give a speech.

Without telling anyone, he sets out on a journey across the U.S.A. to reach Washington, DC. There is also Layton, Jakob Davies (Supernatural, Once Upon A Time), twin brother of T.S., who died in an accident involving a firearm in the family’s barn, an incident of which no one ever speaks. T.S. was with him, measuring the scale of the gunshots for an experiment, and he doesn’t understand what happened.

Janet Smith of the Georgia Straight says: “From the minute an elaborate Old West pop-up book announces the beginning of The Young and Prodigious T. S. Spivet, the visual splendour rarely ceases.”

Not only are the Smithsonians unsuspecting of the inventor’s tender age; they are also unaware of his dark secret.

This film has been the recipient of four awards, including Best Cinematography at the Cesars and Best 3D, Camerimage. It was also nominated for four others.

The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet will be shown at 7 p.m. at the GEM Theatre.

Spotlight Films would like to thank Maureen and Marius Paquet of the Gem Theatre and our patrons and sponsors.

Thanks also to Internet Movie Database (IMDB), Rotten Tomatoes, and Janet Smith of the Georgia Straight.

Local duo nominated for award

Grand Forks Gazette

A local duo was thrilled to learn they have been nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award. Vazzy, which features the husband and wife duo of Suzanne Leclerc and Bryn Wilkin, have been nominated for best francophone album for their second CD, En Passant/ By the Way. The pair, which play mostly traditional songs and music from Acadia, Quebec and France, performed at the Grand Forks Farmers’ Market on May 8.

“We’ll find out in September if we win,” said Leclerc. “We were exciting to find out we were nominated,” said Wilkin. “It’s nice to get some recognition. It’s something that can be in short supply for musicians so it’s nice.”

Wilkin said it was quite a process getting En Passant produced.

“We worked for the last year and a half on that CD and finally managed to get it produced this spring,” he said.

“It’s pretty representative of our music.

It has songs from Acadia that have their origins in medieval France; it has more

Local band Vazzy, which consists of Suzanne Leclerc and Bryn Wilkin, performs traditional songs from Acadia, Quebec and France on May 8 at the Grand Forks Farmers’ Market. The duo has been nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award.

‘20s dance hall type call-and-answer songs; Métis fiddle tunes; French Canadian fiddle and banjo tunes; and harmonica songs.”

The couple have lived in Grand Forks for 30 years after moving west from New Brunswick. They moved to the Boundary looking to raise their children in a nice, rural environment.

The pair both have a strong background in music, playing for most of their lives. The two started to focus on becoming a duo 10 years ago and have been full-time musicians ever since, touring and performing at various concerts, festivals, workshops and schools throughout Western Canada.

Both partners play multiple instruments. Leclerc plays foot percussion,

harmonica, spoons, jazz harp and bodhran (Irish drum); Wilkin plays mandolin, fiddle, banjo, Arabic oud (lute), strings and even bagpipes.

“We’re interested in mainly acoustic music and traditional fiddle music,” said Wilkin. “Canada has a very rich tradition of fiddling…we’re also very interested in Métis music as it’s closely associated with French Canadian traditional music.”

Vazzy will be back playing in Grand Forks on June 23 with a performance at the library. Vazzy CDs are available online through CD Baby or through their website at vazzy.ca.

The Western Canadian Music Awards take place on Sunday, Sept. 20 in Victoria at the McPherson Playhouse.

God speaks to us again and again In the Bible we are informed that God speaks to people again and again, although many times we do not perceive that He is speaking.

I’ve found this to be true many times in my own life! However, I’ve come to understand that one of the many ways He communicates to me is by relating physical things with spiritual.

Recently I’ve been doing a personal study of the human heart, and more specifically, my physical heart! In an effort to attain a level of health, I’ve been doing a lot of research. I’ve learned the heart is a muscle and needs to be exercised just like any other muscle!

It’s time to get and move. Take a walk. Ride a bike. Go for a swim.

It’s no less important to exercise our spiritual heart. How? Love people, according to 1 Corinthians 13. Be kind and do kind things for people. Be helpful. There’s so many ways to exercise your spiritual heart.

Our physical heart also needs the right nutrients. In fact, putting

the wrong things into our bodies can clog up the pump that is our Senior Pastor heart. Our spiriGabe Warriner tual heart is the River Valley same. Putting in Community Church things like anger, envy, arguments and worry are some things that will clog up our spiritual heart.

As I studied and prayed I found that the similarities between the physical and spiritual heart are strikingly similar. Here’s one more for the list and the last one I’m going to share.

The physical heart needs rest. It needs a stress free, peace filled allotment of time to be at rest. We need to get away for a time during the day, and most importantly, make sure were getting the right amount of sleep at night. The same couldn’t be more true spiritually. Our spiritual hearts need rest.

In fact, God spoke to many people in the Bible during the night in their dreams as they slept soundly. So God speaks again and again.

Hopefully, next time He speaks we’ll recognize it!

Jean (Jane B.) Sargent It is with great sadness but wonderful memories that we announce that Jean (Jane B.) Sargent (née Ironside) passed peacefully on Wednesday, May 13th at Boundary Hospital in Grand Forks, British Columbia in her 91st year. She will be dearly missed by her husband George, son George (Gladys), brother Elliot (Dalla), granddaughters Robbyn (Adam) and Sydney, as well as her family in Scotland, England, and Canada.

Born in Mallaig, Scotland, Jean immigrated to British Columbia in 1953, later settling to raise her family in the beautiful farming community of Dunster, eventually retiring to Grand Forks. Jean will be sadly missed by her family and friends.

It is with sincere gratitude that we recognize the efforts of the palliative care, home care, and hospice staff at Boundary Hospital. A graveside service for family and close friends is planned for Saturday, May 23, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. followed by a gathering at the family home. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to the BC Heart and Stroke foundation or a charity of your choice. Arrangements entrusted to Deborah Baker of Grand Forks Funeral Home, gffh@shaw.ca.

Ways to Stay Sun Safe Avoid the Strongest Rays of the Day First, seek shade when the sun is at its highest overhead and therefore strongest (usually from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the northern hemisphere).

Cover Up One of the best ways to protect your family from the sun is to cover up and shield skin from UV rays.

Use Sunscreen Consistently Look for SPF numbers on the labels of sunscreens. Select an SPF of 30 or higher to prevent sunburn and tanning, both of which are signs of skin damage. Choose a sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays (usually labeled as a “broad-spectrum” sunscreen).

Use Protective Eyewear for Kids Sun exposure damages the eyes as well as the skin. Even 1 day in the sun can result in a burned cornea Double-Check Medications Some medications increase the skin’s sensitivity to UV rays Be Sun Safe Yourself Don’t forget: Be a good role model by consistently using sunscreen of SPF 30 or greater, wearing sunglasses, and limiting your time in the sun. Doing so not only reduces your risk of sun damage — it also teaches your kids good sun sense.

GRAND FORKS RECREATION

Swim, bike, run— it’s time to register for the Pharmasave Christina Lake Triathlon.

The 11th annual triathlon is right around the corner scheduled for Sunday, June 28.

It’s a great community and family event and open for everyone to just “tri” it.

This triathlon is a short distance race ideal for the first timer. Athletes will swim 800m, bike 20k and run a 5k. Participants can sign up as an individual or as part of a team.

There is a Kids Sprint that takes place Sunday, June 28 prior to the start of the adult race. Kids ages 7 to 12 will swim 100m, bike 6k and run 2k.

Participants can enter the race as an individual or get a team together and share in the fun.

The Rotary Club of Grand Forks will be providing a baked potato feed following the race and each registrant will go home with an awesome race package that includes a special gift.

The event cannot take place without the help of many people.

Our volunteers have been wonderful over the years and we are always looking for more individuals willing to give their time to make the day a success.

Triathlon registration forms can be found at the Grand Forks Recreation Office, aquatic centre, both the Grand Forks and Christina Lake Pharmasaves and at the Welcome Centre in Christina Lake.

The forms can also be found on our website, rdkb.com.

Call GFREC at 250442-2202 for more information.
