Ten-year-old Ty Sanford and his sister Taylor, 8, are all smiles with their one-year-old English Bulldog puppy Maggie Mae at the Paws for a Cause SPCA fundraiser Sunday. Many animal lovers and their pets turned out for the annual event at Boitanio Park, which supports the local animal shelter.

Animal lovers Paws For A Cause Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Dogs big and small, short and tall turned out with their owners for the always popular Paws for a Cause SPCA fundraiser Sunday at Boitanio Park.

“It was a good day,” said Williams Lake SPCA animal care supervisor Kristen Meadows of the annual event, which is an important fundraiser for the non-profit organization.

“We saw many new dogs and new people as well as the regulars who come out to support us every year. It’s a fun-filled day and it’s all pet-related, so it’s great for animal lovers.”

Local Scotiabank

volunteers were on hand to help with registration Sunday morning, while businesses like the Animal Care Hospital also had staff available offering heart-shaped pet paw prints by donation to fundraise.

Many local businesses and private citizens also donated items for an on-site silent auction, including deluxe pet beds, art work and even an autographed Carey Price jersey, to help support the shelter.

Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Williams Lake Conservation Officers destroyed a cougar earlier this week that appeared to have been stalking mountain bikers on the Westsyde Trail System.

“It was unfortunate that we had to destroy an animal, but we’re not taking any chances,” said Sgt. Len Butler of the young, healthy Tom that was treed and killed by officers Saturday after it stalked a bow hunter who was pushing his bike up a steep section of a trail.

Butler said the first cougar complaint with bikers came in on Wednesday, Sept. 5, that a cougar had been following the last boy in a group of mountain bikers heading down the popular Lower Max trail Tuesday evening.

In that case, Butler said the group ditched their bikes and left the area to return with a gun looking for the animal to no avail.

hounds and swept the trails without finding the animal, Butler said, though they did find two dead mule deer they suspect were killed by the cougar.

In the days that followed there were also sightings at the golf course subdivision in the evening, however officers didn’t break until the hunter noticed the cougar was stalking him and took a shot at the animal then immediately called officers.

“Without a doubt this was the cat from the river trails,” Butler said of the cougar, which had

been grazed by the arrow of the hunter. The cat was treed and killed in an area of the trail above the log dump and below the golf course.

Butler urges the public to contact the C.O. Service immediately after close calls with predatory animals to ensure the freshest track possible and warns the public that the WestSyde Trail network is full of bears, cougars and coyotes right now.

In fact, the service has received more bear complaints recently than they have had in years, and asks the public to secure garbage and pick their fruit.

CRD: Fringe Fire Protection Agreement

Directors seek public input

Angie Mindus photo

Lego builder Adam Holton checks out the competition with his dad Derek at the Williams Lake Harvest Fair lego creation exhibit Sunday. Adam received a ribbon of merit for his work entitled "Under Attack."

Property offences aplenty Insp. Warren Brown of the Williams Lake RCMP urges residents to secure their property as the city continues to face many property related offences.

“We urge the general public to secure their vehicles and not leave valuables inside,” Brown stated in a press release. “There is no one area that is targeted.”

Sometime during the early morning hours of Sunday, September 9th, thieves attempted to steal a vehicle in the vicinity of 9th Avenue, which resulted in damage to the vehicle.

Overnight on Saturday, September 8th 2012, thieves entered several vehicles in the Williams Lake area, stealing several items.

Just after midnight on Sept. 6, the Williams Lake RCMP responded to a Motor Vehicle Accident on Coleman Rd. A witness heard a loud crash and then observed the only occupant from a vehicle walk away from a disabled car. The car had struck two parked cars in the area. It turned out that this was a stolen car and suspected to be involved in a break and enter that occurred to a business two days prior. Police arrived immediately and quickly arrested the driver for possession of stolen property. The driver is well known to the RCMP for property offences including break and enters and stolen cars. This investigation is continuing and the RCMP will be

recommending a number of criminal charges to Crown Counsel.

2012-7398 At 9:03 a.m. on Sept. 5, RCMP were dispatched to a motor vehicle incident on 7th Avenue where an unoccupied vehicle rolled down hill striking the Alex Fraser Research Forest Building. The person responsible for the vehicle attempted to stop the vehicle from rolling downhill but was unsuccessful. Although this person was uninjured they were quite distraught, as a result they were taken to the Cariboo Memorial Hospital for observation. The vehicle was later towed. There is no cost estimate or description of damage to the vehicle or building at this time.

BUDGET 2013 CONSULTATION

Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Cariboo Regional District Directors in the Williams Lake fringe area are looking for direction from their constituents as they work toward making a financial agreement with the City on fire protection.

The Regional District is hosting a public meeting scheduled for this Wednesday, Sept. 12, at 7 p.m. at the Gibraltar Room and all residents within the Williams Lake Fringe Fire Protection Boundaries are encouraged to attend.

“It’s very important that people come to this meeting,” said Joan Sorley, Director of Area F. “We’re working really hard to get a deal, (but) it’s the taxpayer’s pocketbook, they need to tell us we’re headed in the right direction.”

Up until last year, the Province held the fire protection agreement with the City on behalf of CRD residents. According to CRD staff, most of the Williams Lake rural residents receiving fire protection services from the Williams Lake Fire Department were covered by the agreement between the Province of B.C. and the City, while the remainder were covered by two separate agreements between the CRD and the City.

Sorley said initial talks to have their own agreement without

the Province’s involvement broke down last spring between the City and CRD when they couldn’t come to terms on finances.

Negotiations were around replacing all three agreements with a new combined agreement.

“We were at an impasse,” said Sorley, explaining that once the Province officially ended its agreement with the City this summer, the two local governments knew they would have to find an agreement that worked for everyone.

“We both knew we had to come back to the table.”

One rather large bone of contention for CRD Williams Lake Fringe residents came last year when most rural residents saw their fire protection rates double. Apparently one of the two agreements between the CRD and City had a fixed rate of payment which was not subject to changes related to increased fire protection costs faced by the City.

“We feel, and we know, our taxpayers have paid more than their fair share,” said Sorely.

It is yet to be seen whether a new agreement with the City will see those taxes drop, but whatever the case may be, ultimately CRD residents will have their final say by referendum.

“We need to ask our CRD taxpayers for per-

Superheroes needed for Chase Lamont

Photo submitted

Chase, his father, Chris Lamont and his step-brother Cole enjoy some down-time for goofing around. Chase, 6, is currently fighting cancer at Vancouver Children's Hospital.

Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor On Saturday the Chase Lamont Fundraising Society will be hosting a “Superhero’s Golf Tournament” at Bell-E Acres golf course.

Participants may dress in any type of superhero-themed attire they wish.

The golf tournament will raise funds for sixyear-old Chase who is currently battling cancer at Vancouver

Children’s Hospital.

He has been diagnosed with Hepablastoma; a very fast growing and aggressive type of liver cancer.

Organizer Kyla Wejr has been busy preparing a number of activities

throughout the event including: golf, minigolf, the new go-karts, arm-wrestling and horseshoe tournaments, as well as live music and entertainment.

The various events will be going on throughout the day and the golf tournament’s official start time is at noon. As an added incentive Heartland Toyota is offering up a 2012 Toyota Corolla if anyone scores a holein-one on hole number seven.

“We have plenty of activities and entertainment and we are looking forward to a fantastic day to support a wonderful cause,” said Wejr.

All proceeds from this event will be forwarded to the Williams Lake and District Credit Union to the “Chase Lamont Fundraiser” account. The money will go to the parents of Chase to help them

Couple experiment with artistic talents

Lynn Bonner, left, and wife Kathy Lauriente.

Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor It was thanks to the Medieval Market last November that Kathy Lauriente and husband Lynn Bonner were two of the featured artists in this year’s Williams Lake Art Walk and Sale.

It was there that Arty the Art Walzer, aka Willie Dye, a regular merchant at the annual event, discovered their talents and encouraged them to take part.

Kathy had her art on display at End of the Roll Carpet and Bonner at M&M Meat Shops during the month-long art walk which kicked off August 7 and just wrapped up this past Saturday, Sept. 8.

Kathy said she has always been interested

in the arts and from the time she was a child participated in dance, musical theater and singing and music. Only recently she started to channel her creative energy into painting.

Also a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Instructor at Thompson Rivers University, Kathy always really liked the idea of being a painter.

Two years ago she had an epiphany that if she wanted to be a painter, she actually had to start painting – so that’s what she did.

“My first painting was of a cherry blossom,” she said. “I experimented with a bigger brush and now I don’t use a brush smaller.”

The paintings she showed off at End of the

Roll for Art Walk are all inspired by a six-week trip to Italy she went on in 2010. The series of paintings reflected some of the experiences she and Lynn had during their adventures in Italy in which the pair explored the vast beauty of Kathy’s cultural and ancestral homeland.

Bonner, born and raised in the Chilcotin, spent most of his life cattle ranching. After retiring from ranching several years ago, he started honing his metal working skills and spends a

“Working from

lot of time in his shop blacksmithing and producing stainless steel and silver jewelry.

Some of the work he does as a welder/fabricator aside from creating art include fixing horse trailers and backhoes, making branding irons and other custom work.

Lynn also enjoys flying his Super Cub (twoseat single engine floatplane).

The couple are also avid motorcycle enthusiasts and can often be found cruising the highways on their Harleys.

Canada, Brazil bound 2014?

These are very optimistic times for Canadian soccer. Our women’s national team are fresh off a bronze medal performance at the recent London Olympics. If not for some spotty officiating against eventual gold medallist USA, they could have found themselves playing for gold I’ve made a promise to myself to attend the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Watching the beautiful game in soccer-mad Brazil, the sport’s holy land and home to some of the greatest players of all time, gorgeous beaches, and samba music all sounds incredible. The only thing better would be cheering on Canada.

Lately, the prospect of our men’s national team qualifying for their first World Cup since 1986 in Mexico seems more possible with each positive result.

Canada earned a crucial 1-0 win in a World Cup Qualifying game against Panama at Toronto’s BMO Field Friday. For those non-soccer people, our region known as CONCACAF (Central and North America and the Caribbean), has about 40 nations and send three and possibly four teams to the World Cup every four years.

The CONCACAF field is now whittled down to 12 teams, with three pools of four. The top two teams in these three pools will be the six nations advancing to the final round of qualifying known as the ‘hex’.

In the hex, each nation plays the other five home and away for a total of 10 games. The top three teams advance directly to Brazil and fourth place play the winner of Oceania (New Zealand and region) home and away for the final berth.

Canada’s winning was goal created by some quick thinking.

The Panamian players committed a typical school-boy error by arguing with the official after a foul instead of getting back on defence.

Canadian player Atiba Hutchison took a quick free-kick and found an unmarked Dwayne De Rosario for a tap in goal. Half way through group play with each team done three of six games, Canada sits atop Group A with 7 points, Panama second with 6, Honduras third with 5, and Cuba last with no points.

Last night Canada played a re-match versus Panama (result unavailable at press time) only this time in the unfriendly confines of Panama City. Playing

on the road in places like Central America and Mexico has the host nation make the environment as hostile as possible for visiting teams. Often the pitch is more like a cow-pasture and the team’s hotel is made public knowledge so locals can honk their horns and make noise well into the night so the team doesn’t sleep properly. Other obstacles include fans hurling glass bottles and even bags or urine at opposing players, one-sided officiating, and playing in unfamiliar heat or altitude. A draw (tie) is considered a victory for most teams on the road, so if Canada is able to earn a point from a draw they will be in great shape. If Canada can somehow pull off a win they will be well on their way heading into their final qualifiers October 12 versus Cuba in Toronto and their final game in San Pedro Sula, Honduras October 19.

Despite being the most popular sport among youth in Canada, soccer has a hard time getting its fair share of media coverage. For instance, Friday’s game, arguably Canada’s biggest match since its run to the Gold Cup in 2000, wasn’t even aired on a main sports

network. Sportsnet had the Toronto Bluejays dragging out their dismal baseball season in one of their seemingly endless 162 games while soccer was relegated to Sportsnet One. Another issue irking many Canadian soccer fans is all three qualifying matches are played in Toronto. Friday night’s game had 17,000 plus fans and I guarantee if the game were played at B.C. Place the attendance would be at least double. Why not have games in Vancouver, Montreal, Edmonton or other major cities to give these people a chance to see our national team.

If Canada progress to the ‘hex’ and Toronto is host to all five home games I’m sure there will be even more backlash geared at the Canadian Soccer Association.

Free Kicks: ****** Friday saw a big upset as regional powerhouse USA lost 2-1 to the Reggae Boys from Jamaica. The National Stadium in Kingston is a tough place to steal points as it is dubbed ‘The Office’. A name given after a stretch from 1995-2001 that Jamaica went 50 straight games undefeated at the venue en route to qualifying for their lone World Cup appearance at France 1998.

We look forward to hearing from you!

If someone gives you helpful advice take it!

There is a curious aspect of human nature, that if you tell people they have to do something, they bloody well hell aren’t going to do it! Take me for example.

When we were preparing to move up to the Cariboo I was told not to hire a certain truck rental company and instead go with the local mover, but I would hear none of it as I wanted to save a few bucks and do it myself. Despite the claims of poor performance I went ahead and signed the contract.

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Carmen calls it giving

people enough rope, to hang yourself.

Accordingly I rented a large van and packed it to the limit. This was with some help, as a friend showed up with his moving crew, who turned out to be three teenagers who promptly

toked up before they started. This led me to believe that things could get a little out of hand if not monitored.

Nevertheless things went pretty smoothly although ¨they consumed a week’s wages in pizza and beer. I did get a bit of a reputation for hanging around the liquor store but then I was just trying to score some empty boxes.

Now I was very proud of myself as I got rid of 38 boxes of stuff no less, from the basement.

Mostly old files that I was sure I could find some use for but never did. I even left behind

my rock collection after 20 years of stumbling along the rocky beaches and picking up some dandies. Carmen was prone to announced that I would discover that there are plenty of new rocks to be found in the Cariboo. The really hard part was leaving my superb garden soil.

This took twenty years of careful building and feeding, to reach that rich black loam we gardeners so desire. I was damn sure we wouldn’t find this in the high country, no nothing but sand and boulders and dead pines!

Carmen’s brother

Jim who came to help, offered to drive. (That turned out to be one of the worst mistakes of his lifetime, he later admitted). The first problem was, I misplaced the truck keys and we were given only one set. We found them in an empty beer case but it could have been worse, it could have been lost in Carmen’s purse which weighed fifty pounds. Next the loaded truck couldn’t get up our driveway, a bit of an incline that was just too steep. We had to get a neighbour’s four wheel drive truck with chains to haul us up to

the main road. This was our first inkling of disaster. The next thing that happened was it ran out of gas on the highway as the gas gauge didn’t work and still showed half empty. Fortunately Carmen was following behind with her car crammed with stuff and was able to head off to the nearest gas station where she had to leave her credit card as insurance she would return the can. Next Jim found out that he couldn’t get up the hills without shifting to low gear as one of the cylinders wasn’t working. Every time he reached the top

of a hill and let out a sigh of relief, the truck would backfire and threaten to stall so that he had to coast down and jump start the rig hoping there was enough of a grade to get going. If not, he would put it in low and coach it along. Much to the dismay of the drivers who were piled up behind him. The obnoxious honking of horns as they sped by on the straight stretch did little to cheer him up!

For a trip that should have taken five to six hours it took him ten.

We thought he would never arrive and so did he.

Common sense is needed in regional representation What did the one day mini strike by unions in this province accomplish on Wednesday of last week? Some folks who wanted to pick up some grog at the local liquor store were a little upset they were closed. When I walked

by I found the strikers to be in a good mood as they were waving to folks going past the booze shop. I wonder will they be as happy when they get their next pay cheque and one day’s wages will be deducted?

Credit to the BCGEU, this marks the union’s first full scale walkout in more that two decades.

Wage freezes and a net zero mandate by the Government that says any wage increase will have to be offset by concessions elsewhere in the contract does not sit well with

strikers.

Premier Clark suggests that higher wages would be impossible without raising taxes and she would not go back to taxpayers for more money in order to give some government workers a raise.

Let’s hope the government and the union will get back to the bargaining table and both sides come with proposals that work.

On a side note, it seems to me unions of all stripes dislike big business. If a union

What in heck were the federal electoral boundaries commission members for B.C. smoking when they came up with the idea that 100 Mile and area, including Lac La Hache, would become part of the ChilliwackFraser Canyon Riding?

The members of the commission want the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding trimmed down to try to bring its population in line with the 105,000-person limit set out for each riding. Even the shrunken version of Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo is higher than the standard riding with a population of 111,577. The commission will host public hearings in Kamloops and Prince George.

Interesting that MPs in B.C. represent around 105,000 folks while in Prince Edward Island the whole population total is only around 145,000, so each of the four Federal parliamentarians represent about 35,000 voters.

I’ll bet Cathy Mcleod and Dick Harris would love to have that size of a riding.

We are going to increase the Members of Parliament in B.C. by six, but none from the Interior.

The Cariboo Regional District, along with MLA Donna Barnett and others will be making presentations at the hearings to make sure common sense is being incorporated into the equation of regional representation.

76 riders tackle tour Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor A total of 73 riders took part in the 20th annual Tour de Cariboo Saturday. A gorgeous sunny day greeted the riders on their 75 kilometer trek from the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex to Gavin Lake Forestry Camp. “The day went extremely smooth, and the weather was phenomenal,” said organizer Lorraine Levitt.

Ivor McMahen and wife Ann Carter each won first place in their respected over 50 categories. McMahen also placed second overall for the men and Carter finished first overall for the woman.

Ryan Oliver finished first overall for the men beating his personal best despite having to back track from a mother bear standing on her hind legs alongside her cubs. Oliver figures he lost around 2 minutes.

The new Superintendent of School District 27, Mark Thiessen, was the emcee for the banquet at Gavin Lake.

“He kept everyone in stitches with his sharp sense of humor,” said Levitt.

Musicians Steve Hunter, Oren Barter, and Chelsea and Jay Goddard kept everyone entertained on the shores of Gavin post-ride.

The riders kept Jennifer Kopp of Inner Balance Wellness Studio and Spa busy providing massages to their sore and aching muscles.

Little Brandon Loring competes in pole bending with a little coaching from his mom during the Williams Lake Harvest Fair Gymkhana Sunday at the Trail Riders Arena.

Rodeo moms bring Little Britches to Williams Lake Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor The second annual Williams Lake Little Britches Rodeo was a great success last weekend, with 42 entries signed up and many prizes handed out.

Longtime cowgirls turned mentors Allison Everett and Leanne Manuel organized the event, which ran Saturday and Sunday mornings at Stampede Park during the Harvest Fair.

“It went really well,” said Everett. “The weather was great. It ran very smooth and we had lots of help (from volunteers).”

Two local boys who just happen to be the organizer’s sons, captured best Junior and Senior all-around boys.

Brock Everett, 8, and Blaine Manuel, 13, won top honours after competing in four events each.

Meanwhile two sisters from Prince

George, Payden and Nevada Hinton, won best all-round Junior and Senior for the girls.

Everett and Manuel said the rodeo was very well attended, especially considering it wasn’t a sanctioned rodeo due to the fact the season runs from May to August.

Next year the women are planning a Little

Britches clinic with a rodeo to follow sometime after the Indoor Rodeo, which Everett and Manuel also help organize.

“It’s a great family atmosphere,” Manuel says of why she supports rodeoing. “It’s a healthy environment and a real family affair.

I don’t know what my kids would do without

it.”

Everett agrees, though when her only son Brock began competing at the age of four she says she did wonder if she would be fullfilled to be a spectator rather than competing herself.

“It was the most amazing feeling as a parent,” Everett says of watching her son carry

Use the Right Tools for Autumn To-Do Lists Ask any homeowner and he or she is bound to have a to-do list of little chores around the house that need to get done. These tasks are made much easier with the right tools.

Depending on individual skill level, many homeowners already have basic tools on hand, such as hammers and screwdrivers. Others may have a more extensive collection of tools available for projects, such as saws, sanders and electric drills.

For homeowners who don’t have certain tools, there may be no need to purchase new ones for specific projects. Many tools can be rented, such as floor sanders, carpet cleaners, saws and others.

Find out if items can be borrowed from friends or family members -- and whether they might want to help with certain tasks.

Before any project is started, homeowners should take inventory of what they have and what they will need to complete a project.

Taking shortcuts can lead to frustration and more money spent fixing mistakes. Make a list and have all of the gear available and ready for use.

Here are some common projects and the tools that will be needed.

•G utter cleaning: Cooler weather means leaves and debris will collect in gutters and downspouts. A sturdy ladder, gloves, garden hose, small shovel, and bucket will be needed to clear out the debris.

Be sure the ladder is placed so that it is on level ground.

• Cleaning siding: A rented power washer can make quick work of cleaning grimy sid-

ing and hard-to-reach windows.

• Landscape clean-up: Now may be the time to pull out whithered plants and put away lawn furniture.

Many homeowners like to prune shrubs and trees before the cold weather sets in.

A hedge trimmer can quickly shape shrubbery. An auger can help dig up dead annuals and clean out planting beds. Rent a wood chipper to make mulch out of felled tree branches.

• Painting: When cooler weather arrives, homeowners tend to look inside for projects. Painting is a popular way to spruce up rooms with little financial investment.

Rollers, brushes, paint trays, masking tape, edgers, and drop cloths will be needed for the task.

• Flooring: Perhaps installing a new floor is on the to-do list. Many laminate and vinyl products make it easy for homeowners to do the work themselves. A more extensive project, such as installation of tile or hardwood, can be done by a contractor. Flooring needs may require a power saw or razor for cutting the flooring -- depending on the material. Other tools include adhesive, spacers, measuring tape, knee pads, eye protection, and cleanup materials.

Cut energy costs at home

WE’LL BE IN BELLA COOLA, EXCHANGING THE OLD BC HYDRO METER ON YOUR HOME WITH A NEW SMART METER. BC Hydro is upgrading homes and businesses with new smart meters.

Moving to a more efficient, modernized grid will help us meet the growing demand for electricity while continuing to deliver safe, reliable power throughout the province.

Here’s what you can expect: • Typically, meter installation will take place Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. PST. • Meter installers will have BC Hydro and Corix logos on their trucks and uniforms, and photo identification badges.

• You don’t need to be home, as long as we have safe and clear access to your meter—please remove any physical modifications that prevent a meter exchange.

• You will experience a brief power interruption, in most cases it will last 60 seconds.

For more information about the smart meter installation process, visit bchydro.com/smartmeterinstall.

• In most cases, the exchange will take less than 10 minutes.

Homeowners spend thousands of dollars per year on energy. Whether a home is big or small, energy costs are a concern for homeowners.

Though some of the costs of home ownership are beyond a person's control, there are some steps homeowners can take to reduce energy costs and save substantial amounts of money as a result.

• Address any leaks. One of the most effective ways to cut energy costs is to weather strip doors and windows throughout the house. Doing so will keep warm air in the house when it's cold and prevent drafts that occur when cold air enters the home through cracks and leaks.

If a home has an attic, be sure to seal pipes, chimneys or ductwork. Addressing leaks can save homeowners as much as 10 percent on their annual home energy costs.

• Use compact fluorescent lightbulbs instead of incandescent lightbulbs. CFLs use one-quarter to one-third less energy than traditional incandescent lightbulbs.

In addition, the Alliance to Save Energy notes that CFLs can last up to 10 times longer than traditional lightbulbs.

• Be mindful of the thermostat. Most homeowners and their

and way cut the

families spend a good portion of their day out of the house. Home

heating costs can be reduced by as much as 20 percent if homeowners simply lower the thermostat during the day by 10 F. For homeowners who feel they won't remember to do so on a regular basis, a programmable thermostat will do the job on its own.

• Lower water temperature.

Lowering water temperature can also lead to substantial savings.

Homeowners can save as much as five percent on their water bill by lowering the temperature on their water heater by as little as 10 F. When doing so, touch the outside of the water heater.

If the outside is cold, the water heater has sufficient insulation If the water heater is hot to the touch, wrap a water heater jacket around it to increase efficiency.

• Replace older appliances.

Older appliances, be it an older central air conditioning unit or an older water heater, often need to expend more energy than they did when they were new. What's more, especially older appliances might not meet Energy Star standards, which can cost homeowners substantial amounts of money over the course of a year.

Homeowners who replace such appliances might be eligible for tax credits when buying more energy efficient products.

Basement Remodels a Favourite for Homeowners

Few home improvement projects provide a more rewarding finished product than installing a home theater. However, when doing so in the basement, the area first must be prepared before homeowners can get to work.

Perhaps thanks to the growing popularity of home theaters, basement remodels are becoming more and more popular among the nation's homeowners. With advancements in television and home theater technology, it's no wonder homeowners are looking to make the most of their oftignored basements to enhance their home entertainment experience.

But remodeling a basement involves more than simply throwing out the pingpong or pool table and replacing them with leather sofas and a big screen television. Before doing anything with the basement, it's best to pre-

pare the area to ensure the home theater experience is as enjoyable as possible.

• Check for moisture.

Nearly every basement has issues with moisture.

Perhaps victims of floods or heavy rains, basements do not typically boast ideal living conditions, requiring work before homeowners and their families and friends can spend time in them knowing they're safe.

Many times, fixing moisture inside a basement involves going outside the home, particularly to inspect gutters and the external surface area around the basement. Gutters and downspouts could

be channeling water in the direction of the basement. If so, direct downspouts away from the home.

Surface area around the basement could also be directing water toward the home. If that's the case, it might be a safe bet to consult a landscaper to determine if that area can be dug up and possibly made to slant away from the house. While this might seem timeconsuming, it's worth it to ensure a home theater does not become a musty place where no one wants to spend signficant time.

• Decide what to do with the ceilings.

For those who really

want to create a theater experience in their basement, the ceilings will likely need some work. Many basements have ceiling tiles, which create an ambience more suited to a basement than a theater.

Homeowners should consider replacing ceiling tiles with drywall. It's good to work on the ceiling before doing anything with the floors, as paint or debris from the drywall will likely drip or fall onto the floor, creating a mess that no one wants on his or her new floor.

• Examine the walls.

After working on the ceilings, the walls should be next on the

list. Home theaters tend to have dark walls like those in movie theaters, so if the walls are white, homeowners might want to paint them with a darker color. Again, this should be done before doing anything with the floor to avoid stains or debris on any new flooring.

If the walls need new drywall, it's a good idea to plan a layout of the room once it's a finished product before hanging any new drywall. This will give a sense of which walls will need holes for cables and other cords, and holes can be cut in the dry wall accordingly once that layout has been determined.

• Fix the floors.

Oftentimes, basements are not carpeted, typically covered with a throw rug here or there and some linoleum tiles. However, for those hoping to get a genuine theater experience in their basement, it's best to lay down some carpeting. Much like the walls, carpets should be a darker color to create an ambience more like that of a movie theater.

If putting a refrigerator or bar area in the basement, avoid laying carpet down in that area as spills might stain the new carpet.

Of course, before laying down any carpeting, homeowners must clear the room of everything that's removable. This should

give homeowners the chance to remove any clutter from the basement and decide what to keep or clear out of the basement.

• Before buying any products, determine if they will fit.

Chances are large products can fit through the doorways and into the basement.

Since many homeowners have pool tables and refrigerators in their basements already, it's highly likely that other big ticket items like large screen televisions and leather sofas will be able to fit through the

doorways.

However, for homeowners who have used their basement largely for storage, it's best to do some measurement before visiting the nearby electronics store and buying that big screen television. After all, there's no guarantee that 70-inch projection screen television or those leather armchairs can fit through the basement doorway. Though homeowners will eventually find something they like that will fit, the doorway measurements might dictate that decision more than homeowners know.

HOROSCOPE Aries, your goals are easily achieved this week. All you really need to do is set your mind to them and everything will fall into place along the way.

Last Week’s Answers

Those closest to you need a little space and respect, Gemini. Just give them what they need and all will go smoothly. Wednesday could be a trying day.

SEPTEMBER 18

SEPTEMBER 17 Cassandra Peterson, Actress (61)

Lance Armstrong, Athlete (41) SEPTEMBER 19

Libra, this week you have the uncanny ability to impress people in one-on-one conversation. Start by focusing all of your energy on one particular relationship.

Scorpio, it’s time to assess your health and make a few changes for the better. It’s within reason to change your diet and exercise more often. It will be to your advantage.

Sagittarius, you will find you’re incredibly efficient this week, both at home and at work. If you have time left over, you may want to help a coworker or family member.

Capricorn, both work and family issues are on your mind, but you can only tackle one set of concerns at a time. Figure out which one is a priority and set your wheels in motion.

powder ( used daksah’s garam masala for curry powder) Preparation Process all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides. Chill

at least 1 hour.

The wonderful Soda Creek corn is available at Save-on-Foods. They are so good. A terrific fall treat.

Bye for now and Goood Cooking

SEPTEMBER 20 Gary Cole, Actor (56) SEPTEMBER 21 Bill Murray, Actor (62)

Leo, you can have fun doing just about anything this week. You have lots of energy, so maybe something physical will fit the bill.

Grab a crowd and go to it.

Virgo, things have not been going your way, but that is no reason to be disappointed. You will soon find a way to bounce back and get back on track.

Spicy Thai Garlic Mayo

Barb, you are a great cook and I always enjoy your food and getting new recipes from you.

Whenever someone cooks something for me that is a palate pleaser, I usually ask for the recipe. I can figure out most of the food that went into the makeup of a dish, however

Nick Jonas, Singer (20)

Adam West, Actor (83)

it is always safe to get the recipe as sometimes the preparation can be different, so the food comes together in a pleasing manner.

1 cup mayonnaise 3 green onions, chopped 2 tablespoons chili-garlic paste (Barb used 1 tsp of freshly grated ginger) 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar 1/4 teaspoon curry

SEPTEMBER 16

Taurus, you may feel rushed by outside pressures, but it really is up to you to set your own pace.

Everything will get done if you just relax.

Cancer, you may need to act quickly before things start moving in the wrong direction. You have to take control and make sure things are on the right course.

Spicy Thai garlic mayo spices it up I love cooking but there are times when I would just rather enjoy the occasion and let someone else do the job.

Last weekend at our cottage, Barb Brown made a wonderful dinner of fish cakes, something I have not had using different sea creatures. The fish cakes were made from a combination of three fish, halibut, salmon and cod. They were very tasty but with the spicy sauce of the Thai garlic mayo, the food was over the top. Tasty, tasty, that’s the best way to describe this nice dinner treat. Thanks

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS

Aquarius, you are likely to feel amazing this week, so much so that you actually do a double-take in the mirror to make sure it’s you looking back. Savor every moment.

Pisces, you may have some trouble figuring out what is real and what’s a facade this week.

Others can provide backup if you need it.
