Helpful Guidelines

1. Change your oil regularly, as recommended by your own-

er’s manual, to prevent engine wear and improve performance.

2. Your regular oil change is a good time to replace air and

fuel � lters as needed. This will improve engine ef� ciency and fuel economy.

3. Make sure to use a proper disposal facility to protect

our environment.

Disposing of used oil properly helps protect our lo-

cal ecosystems by keeping used oil out

of the soil and out of drinking water. Consid-

ering that just one gallon of used oil can contaminate up

to one million gallons of water, it’s essential to dispose of used oil the right way.

� ere are a lot of myths around oil. Here are a few:

THERE IS NOT ANY REAL DIFFERENCE BE-TWEEN CONVENTION-AL AND SYNTHETIC MO-TOR OIL

- FALSE� ere are not any real di er-

ences in the basestocks used to make synthetic and convention-al oils, but there are di erences in the additives and process used to make the � nal products.

SYNTHETIC MOTOR OILS ARE MAN-MADE IN A LABORATORY

- FALSESynthetic motor oils use

crude oils extracted from the earth which go through a syn-thesis process and use man-made additives in the creation of a � nal product.

USING (BRAND X) WILL VOID MY MANU-FACTURERS WARRANTY - FALSE

Using a brand of oil that is di erent from your vehicle manufacturer’s factory � ll will not void the warranty. Just make sure that the oil meets the man-ufacturer’s standards for use in the particular vehicle.

SWITCHING BE-TWEEN CONVENTIONAL AND OTHER TYPES OF

MOTOR OIL IS BAD FOR MY ENGINE - FALSE

Conventional, synthetic blend, synthetic, and high mile-age motor oils are compatible. Mixing or switching between types of motor oil is not harmful to your engine.

SYNTHETIC ENGINE OIL IS ONLY FOR NEW ENGINES OR VEHICLES.

FALSE: Good quality oil does not cause leaks. In fact, good quality oil is tested in doz-ens of industry standard, OEM-approved tests to prove its seal performance. Oils are tested to ensure that they are fully com-

patible with the electrometric materials from which all au-tomotive seals and gaskets are made. If an older engine is in good condition and does not have oil leaks, good quality oil provides the same advan-tages as when used in a new engine.

ENGINE OILS CAN C A U S E SLUDGE.

T R U E : � is is true. Poor quality oils can contribute to sludge build-up. Sludge

deposits are formed by a com-bination of dirt, soot, partially burned fuel, oxidized motor oil, leaked coolant and condensed water vapor produced during combustion. Good-quality mo-tor oil keeps these contaminants separated and held in suspen-sion. � ey are drained with the oil and not left behind to create deposits or sludge. Using a good quality oil along with regular oil and � lter changes will prevent sludge problems from occurring.

MAKE AN IMPACT!Reduce the impact on the

environment with your next oil change. � e amount of energy used to � nd, drill, transport and re� ne crude oil is signi� cant. Recycled oil eliminates or re-duces many of these steps and therefore has a smaller “carbon footprint”.

1. Trucks, SUV’s, Front wheel drive

cars all have unique tire requirements.

2. Find out your tire size. Some tires will be

harder to � nd than others

3. Price out 4 tires. All vehicles should be

equipped with a set of 4 winter tires.

It’s that time of year al-

ready. e days are getting shorter and

the nights have that familiar chill about

them. Fall is approach-ing and with it the great

“tire” debate.DO I NEED WIN-

TER TIRES? YES!Our government thinks so

too. Transport Canada and e Cana-da Safety Council recommend 4 winter tires with the “Mountain/Snow ake” symbol as shown to the left. All moun-tain passes have the familiar signage “Use winter tires or carry chains beyond this point”. Although we don’t have the same legislation as Quebec and all cars are not required to be equipped with winter tires while driving anywhere in the province, go for a drive in the passes, have an accident without winter tires and you will face a � ne.

Because of the design and composi-tion of winter tires they are guaranteed to improve traction from a stop and during highway maneuvers. ey will give you a shorter stopping distance up to a full car length. Unlike the tra-ditional all season tire which essentially becomes a block of hard plastic in tem-peratures below zero.

What is the di� erence between High-tech and conventional winter tires?

A high-tech winter tire like the Michelin X-Ice O� ers enhanced pro-tection, even in some of the harshest winter conditions

A combination of 4 key features improves MICHELIN® X-Ice® Xi3™ overall winter performance even in some of the harshest winter conditions

1-Increased number of tread blocks provides 15% more biting edge and im-proves performance on ice and in snow.

2-Micropumps absorb water from the surface and evacuate it by centrifu-gal force for improved tread contact with the road surface.

3-Cross Z Sipes™. Sipes are tridi-mensional to improve rigidity , enable

stable handling and improve traction on ice and in snow.

4- e Flex-Ice™ compound. is full-silica compound maintains ex-ibility at lower temperatures, improving performance on ice and in snow. It also maintains � rmness at moderate tem-peratures, improving wear and grip.

ere is nothing to compare to the Yokahama iceGUARD iG51v’s ability to bite into snow, ice and slush bringing a new level of con� dence in corners, or braking under adverse road conditions. It’s aggressive tread design, ingenious three dimensional spies and generous drainage channels keep the iceGUARD ready for business, mile after mile, getting you to your destina-tion with a more reassuring measure to safety.

Wet and dry roads are no match for the iceGUARD iG51v either. e tire’s unique compound and construction de-livers not only great handling but also unexpected long term durability, more even tire wear and improved fuel con-sumption.

Or the Toyo Observe G-02 Plus is a winter passenger car tire designed for severe winter conditions. It features exclusive Microbit Technology with ground walnut shells that dig into snow and ice combined with a tread design and special winter rubber compounds that o� er improved winter traction. e result is an environmentally friendly winter tire with reduced noise and im-proved ride comfort. ese are just to name a few and their features.

A conventional winter tire has wide deep tread blocks, made of rubber com-pounds that stay exible in ambient temperatures below freezing. Many are

studdable. e Firestone Winterforce winter/

snow radials feature a winter tread com-pound molded into an aggressive direc-tional tread pattern with tread blocks that are siped, stepped and/or can be studded to o� er the biting edges nec-essary to provide traction in snow and on ice. Independent tread blocks feature high-density siping to enhance grip in loose snow while the intermediate and shoulder tread blocks are molded to ac-cept studs that further enhance traction on hard-packed snow and ice. e tire’s internal structure includes twin steel belts on top of a polyester carcass to combine strength with ride quality.

Studding will provide extra traction on icy roads and is a good alternative for vehicles where High-tech winter tire sizes may not be available. However, make note that they are noisier and they are only allowed to be on your vehicle between Oct. 1 to April 30.

A few more tips to consider when purchasing winter tires:

Ask about warranties, cost of mounting, balancing and rotations. Many tire retailers o� er an in house warranty which includes a road hazard guarantee and free rotations.

Make your purchase decision and plan ahead. Do not wait until the � rst snow fall and people are sliding through intersections. Soon as the temperature is consistently below 7 c it is time to change over. is will save you aggrava-tion, inconvenience and the possibility of unavailable products.

Take your winter tires o� as soon as the temperature is consistently above 7 C. Wrap each tire individually in a tire bag and store them in a cool dry area such as your garage. Naturally occur-ring ozone can damage the rubber in tires causing them to dry out and crack.

Winters are unpredictable and nev-er the same year to year. However there will surely be snow and ice, so purchase a good set of winter tires and drive care-fully. Remember to slow down, watch your surroundings and give yourself time.

Arrive safe!

ingredients are essential for a healthy food.

2.IngredientsWhen you are looking for

a healthy food for your pet, reviewing the list of ingredients on the back of the bag is a good place to start.

3. Omega 3 BalanceAlways choose a food that

has a balanced Omega 3/6 ratio.

4.QualityQuality ingredients are

essential for a healthy food. Some economy brands of pet food are made from inexpensive ingredients that are not easily digested.

Dogs and cats evolved as hunters. � e structure of their jaws, teeth and digestive

systems scienti� cally class them as carnivores

adapted to a meat based diet that is rich in animal

protein & fat.So when choosing a food

for your pet, try to � nd a variety of foods that dogs and cats would naturally � nd while hunting in the wild. Appropriate foods for your pet should contain high and various inclusions of the meat that dogs and cats have evolved to eat.

One should watch out for foods that have high glycemic grains and inappropriate vegetable proteins. � ese are ingredients that simply do not belong in the natural diet.

Are the ingredients in your pet’s food deemed “� t for human consumption” by the Government of Canada? Do those ingredients arrive at the pet food plant fresh each day?

You can check out most pet food makers’ websites to see if they use free run poultry, wild-caught � sh or free range red meats. Most Canadian Made pet food companies try to outsource their ingredients within 100 km of their plant for freshness. Canadian owned and operated pet food plants give increased control over the quality of the ingredients used in their products. Ingredients used are all natural and do not contain by-products.

What is meal? What is the di� erence between whole ingredients and meals?

A meal is the dehydrated form of an ingredient. “Whole” refers to ingredients which have not had the moisture removed. Using a meal provides a pure ingredient source.

Look for a grain free option. Our pets have small digestive tracts, much smaller than a human’s. � at means a more complex diet can be di� cult for our pets to digest which can result in gassiness or increased stools.

Most grain free options use only

one protein & carbohydrate source to complete the pet’s diet. � is approach results in reduced bodily stress, risk of food allergies, stomach upsets and a smaller stool (when compared to other kibble diets) by achieving more complete digestion.

Canadian pet food producers strongly believe that your pet’s diet has a fundamental impact on their health, longevity and overall well-being. � ey recognize each animal is unique and has speci� c nutritional requirements; that is why they are committed to providing high quality, nutritionally complete and balanced diets to meet the di� erent life stages and conditions of your pet.

Each diet is formulated to provide complete and balanced nutrition that your pet will love based on strong scienti� c knowledge, fresh ingredients and high quality standards. � is means no additional supplements or vitamins are necessary to ensure your pet is receiving their optimal nutrient levels. Diets are highly digestible, which means your pet will absorb more essential nutrients; ultimately requiring you to feed less.

With so many di� erent foods on the market at di� erent price points, how do you choose a food?

� ere are many well-formulated pet foods to choose from today, and here are some guidelines to follow.

Consider your pet’s activity level and weight

Although many foods on the market today are “all life stage,” you may need to choose a food that is designed to meet speci� c requirements. As an example, an overweight pet may need a food with fewer calories, particularly if lessening the existing food is not an option. In this case, you may feed the same volume, but your dog will be getting less calories.

SELECT A PROTEIN SOURCELamb, chicken, � sh – which one

do you choose? Although lamb has gained popularity as a “hypoallergenic” diet, pets acquire allergies based on exposure. In choosing a food that is

suitable for allergies, choose a protein source that the pet has not eaten before. If you are not sure, go with something obscure, such as salmon. Any protein source for the non allergic pet is suitable, provided it is a meat-based protein source, such as chicken. Below we discuss the quality of proteins based on their “biological value.”

LOOK AT THE INGREDIENTSGovernment certi� ed ingredients

are essential for a healthy food. Some economy brands of pet food are made from inexpensive ingredients that are not easily digested. � ey do not provide the best nutrition. While they may technically meet the legal speci� cations for percentages of protein, fat, carbohydrates, etc., these foods have lower energy values and lower-grade proteins. Because of this, many health-building nutrients may pass right through your pet’s system without being absorbed. It also means that you have to feed larger amounts of that lower quality food to provide your pet with the same nutrition as a smaller amount of premium food. When you compare the cost of these foods on a per-serving basis, and realize how quickly you go through a bag, economy foods may actually cost more in the long run.

When you are looking for a healthy food for your pet, reviewing the list of ingredients on the back of the bag is a good place to start. By law, pet food labels must list their ingredients by weight. Look for a species speci� c meat or meal as the � rst ingredient, ie turkey, duck, chicken meal, salmon meal. Species speci� c meats or meals all have a high biological value, which means they have a high percentage of protein in the form of digestible, usable amino acids.

EXTRAS TO LOOK FORAlways choose a food that has

a balanced Omega 3/6 ratio. Look under the guaranteed analysis for this information, or on the packaging. Some exampes of great Omega 3 sources are Salmon Oil, Flax Oil, and Canola Oil.

Helpful Guidelines

1. Select Fabric. Select the main patterned fabric and a

print that will go with furnishings and � ooring in the room.

2. Add a secondary patterned fabric which includes some

of the colours from the main fabric. Vary the scale of the pattern so it is different from the main fabric.

3. Add accent patterned fabrics to be used in small

amounts. These fabrics can either introduce another colour from the main fabric or add texture.

4. Select solid-coloured fabrics to unify the patterned

fabrics and provide visual relief.

Analyzing the room before you begin and having a

rough idea of what you want to achieve will

make planning a coordi-nating room easier. Here

are some pointers to make your decorating challenge a

little easier PLANNING A CO-ORDI-

NATING ROOMTo plan a coordinating room

some things must be kept in mind.� ink about what you like in

the room and what you want to change.

Collect samples of any fabrics, carpeting, wallpaper, or paint that will be staying in the room. Take these with you when you go shop-ping for fabrics- these will help you to coordinate the old with the new.

Look through recent decorat-ing magazines for ideas to inspire you or for features you want to have in the room.

Take samples of the fabrics you are considering home to see how they will look. Live with the samples for a few days before making a decision.

Follow your own preferences. In the end the only opinion that matters is your own.

COLOURS & PRINTSSelecting fabrics can be quite a

challenge what with all the variety out there. Here are some steps to take in making wise choices.

1. Select the main patterned fabric. Select a print that will go with furnishings and � ooring which will remain in the room.

2. Add a secondary patterned fabric which includes some of the colours from the main fabric. Vary the scale of the pattern so it is dif-ferent from the main fabric.

3. Add accent patterned fab-rics to be used in small amounts.

� ese fabrics can either introduce another colour from the main fab-ric or add texture.

4. Select solid-coloured fabrics to unify the patterned fabrics and provide visual relief. Choose the colours you want to emphasize.

TIPS � ink about how the fabrics

will be used in the room.Avoid using equal amounts of

all the fabrics. Use the main fabric for approximately two-thirds of the room furnishings; a second-ary fabric for approximately one-third; and use accent colours in small amounts.

Vary the textures in the room to add interest.

Mixing Patterned FabricsMixing fabrics patterns can be

a little tricky. But with these help-ful pointers it should be no prob-lem!

Plaid Fabric: used as a main fabric adds a tailored look to a room. Possible combinations with plaids are: paisley, stripes, or solids.

Floral Prints: traditionally the basis for the romantic look. Good combinations are: small scale co-ordinating prints, small stripes, or solid colours.

Geometric Designs: give a more active, contemporary look with the rich textural appearance, and an interesting mix of colour. Solids go very well with geometric designs and highlight speci� c co-lours. Small scale geometric prints also work well.

Solid Coloured Fabrics: give a more passive look to a room. By using colours that are compatible, but still o� er contrast. With solid colours textured fabrics really add variety to the room.

CHANGING THE SIZE OF A ROOM

Small rooms can prove a decorating challenge. � e wrong choices can make the room seem even smaller than it is. But there is still hope for small spaces. Here are some tricks to help make a small room look bigger.

Colour- the most important tool for creating the illusion of space

Light Colours-visually expand walls and make ceilings look as if they soar.

Avoid Dark Colours- they make the room appear smaller.

Keep it Light & Simple- keep � oors, area rugs, upholstery, and fabrics light and simple. Avoid dark woods and busy patterns to maintain an open feel.

Solid Colours- tend to give the impression of restfulness and a larger look.

Mirrors-can help to give more depth to the room.

Furnishings-try to � nd fur-nishings that have double roles. For example a hide-a-way sofa, or ottoman with storage capabilities.

Curtains and draperies are the most popular treatments for windows. � ey e� ectively control light; heat; provide privacy; sub-due sound; add colour; and help to change the apparent size and shape of a room.

CurtainsCurtains have a pocket hem

at the top through which a rod is placed and fabric is shirred (gathered) to the desired fullness. Generally curtains are installed on stationary rods and have gathered, smocked or ru� ed headings.

Helpful Guidelines

1. Talk to the staff are they warm and friendly?

2. Look at the schedule of activities to see how suited

they are to your interests.

3. Tour the neighbourhood of the facility you are consid-

ering.

4. Look at all � nancial op-tions. Talk to your � nancial

advisor and examine all options.

5.Live your life and forget your age!

Moving into a re-tirement community is a

big decision and one that should not be taken lightly.

Like any move or transition, it is important to do some re-

search and take the time in your decision process. Friends and family are great resources but keep in mind the � nal decision should be based on how at home and comfortable YOU feel.

� ere are many options of retirement living, from indepen-dent, to assisted living, to extend-ed care. A tour of any facility you are deciding on is the � rst and foremost thing to schedule. Of-ten taking time to sit down with the residents and having a meal will give you an idea of how you may � t into the community. You may decide that although you are still able to live independently, you wouldn’t mind having some extra assistance; laundry and cleaning services, foot care, to name a few. Not having to pre-pare meals may be just the thing you are looking for!

� e best communities have activities geared for everyone. Fitness classes, planned outings, crafts, games, guest entertainers, and Happy Hour are the many ways to engage in the social as-pect of community living. Even chatting and catching up on the latest with other residents over a cup of co� ee could � ll your days with enjoyment. Programs that nurture your social and physi-cal well being are a de� nite must when looking at options.

Location is something to consider as well. Many facilities do o� er transportation to ap-pointments, but perhaps it is still

important to have amenities close by, within walking distance. Per-haps being close to park land is a priority. It is important to look at the neighborhood that the fa-cility is in, to get an idea of who your neighbors are and what is close by.

Professional, respectful and courteous sta� is another impor-tant aspect when looking at any community. From the kitchen and dining room, to the care aides (if on site), to housekeeping and maintenance, all these people

will be a part of your new com-munity. Comfort and safety are keys to enjoying any home.

Whether it is the level of care that is needed, the activities that you want to participate in, the amenities that are of-fered, choos-ing a retire-ment home is something that needs to be approached

thoughtfully and carefully. A new chapter awaits and it could be one of relaxation, activity and excitement. It is what you make it.

Norman Vincent Peale couldn’t have said it any better, “Live your life and forget your age!”

� ings to consider:• Make an appointment for a

tour at the facilities you are considering.

• Bring along family and/or friends to tour with you.

• Go over all care options. It is important to identify the level of care, if any, you are looking for.

• Be open and honest with what it exactly is that you are looking or, your needs and your wants.

• Stay for a meal, stay a night (if accomodation is available), vis-it with the other residents and � nd out why they enjoy their home.

C h o o s i n g paint colour is a real challenge. Warm, cool, light

or dark: the choices are many. Colour is

the key element in any decor; the right

colour will enable you to create a stylish and unique

atmosphere that truly re� ects your personality. Colour choices should be based on personal taste, the size of a room, lighting, furnishings, the ambiance you’re looking for, and current design trends. With some creativity, skill, the right advice and tips, you’re well-equipped to decorate your home, without spending a fortune!

Factors to considerChoice of colour is often

in� uenced by decorating trends but remains above all a question of personal taste. Since it is your interior, you want it to re� ect your personality and tastes and those of your family. For instance, why not give your kids the opportunity to choose their own room colour? If you don’t agree with their choice, try to compromise by using the colour they’ve chosen for their bed linens or accessories.

Whether warm or cold, dark or light, colour impacts the perceived size of a room.

Warm and dark colours:Tend to make a room feel

smaller and more intimate.Cover imperfections on walls

and trim.Seem to lower the height of a

room when used for the ceiling. Cool and light colours:Make a room seem larger and

airier.Re� ect light, which makes

them ideal for hallways, corridors and rooms with little or no natural light.

Seem to raise the height of a room when used on the ceiling.

Lighting is crucial, which is why light � xtures should be installed at the very start of any decorating project.

Incandescent light creates a warm, faintly yellowish glow and is perfect for the living room since it is not too intense.

Fluorescent light is both intense and energy e� cient, which makes it ideal for illuminating work areas such as the kitchen counter. It produces a cool, bluish-tinted light.

Halogen lamps produce powerful and e� cient lighting similar to natural daylight.

LED lighting provides normal room lighting; you can also create special e� ects with di� erent coloured bulbs.

Natural daylight a� ects colours according to the season and time of day; a sunny room will appear clearer and brighter than a room with no direct sunlight.

Furniture, carpeting and curtains are also important factors to consider when choosing wall colours. � e ultimate goal is to create a harmonious look. If your furniture is very colourful, try to soften the e� ect by using natural, neutral hues such as � ax, cotton, sand or wood. Choose armchairs with upholstered backs so that you are free to place them as you like rather than always up against the wall.

Colour tips and adviceA room with large windows

lends itself better to darker, warmer colours than a small, windowless room. To add warmth to a north-facing room that receives little or no sunlight, decorate with a warm colour like yellow, orange, red or lime green. In south or west-facing rooms where sunlight is stronger, you can a� ord to use cooler colours such as blue, violet or mint green.

Test a paint colour in several areas exposed to di� erent types of light and observe how the colour varies over a whole day and evening.

Each paint � nish has its own properties. � e more matte the � nish, the better it will hide imperfections and uneven re� ections. It is, however, harder to wash. � e glossier the � nish, the easier it is to wash, but it will also mask imperfections less e� ectively. Paint � nishes come in the following order: gloss, semi-gloss, pearl, eggshell, satin and matte. Semi-gloss is best for hall or corridor walls and for windows and frames. Use a matte � nish on ceilings and satin and pearl for the rest. Kitchens, bathrooms and basements have their own antifungal paints.

• Colour zoning allows you to highlight a wall, a picture or an architectural feature like a � replace. It consists of painting a shape, such as a rectangle or square, directly on a wall with a colour from the same colour family as the main wall colour, or with contrasting colours.

• To brighten up a wall, paint vertical or horizontal patterns or stripes. Start with one base colour, then paint stripes in other shades that can be either lighter or darker and of equal or varying widths.

Mouldings are meant to be seen. Paint them in contrasting colours in a pearl or semi-gloss � nish. Use them to create depth and add style to your walls.

Helpful Guidelines

1. Maintain your vehicle with regular fuel

injection service.

2.It is important to change your fuel � lter annualy.

3. Extend the life of your cooling system with

regular servicing.

4.Have your transmission serviced and a complete

� uid exchange to avoid costly repairs.

5.Changing your brake � uid is vitally important.

Your vehi-cle’s most

important job is to keep you and your

family on the road worry free. � e best way to avoid costly repairs is to have a well maintained vehicle.

FUEL INJECTION SERVICE

Why this is important: Carbon, dirt, gum and varnish can seriously hin-der engine performance by building up in your ve-hicle’s fuel injectors, intake runners, and combustion chambers. Proper main-tenance can signi� cantly improve performance with faster starts, smoother run-ning, better acceleration, and improved gas mileage.

FUEL FILTERPrimary purpose is to

remove large particles of dirt and to separate or trap water before they reach your engine. Replacing twice a year will save you money on costly fuel sys-tem repairs

COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE

Why this is important: Coolant system failure is a leading cause of mechani-

cal break down. It is also one of the most neglected systems on the vehicle, de-spite being one of the most simple to maintain. Rust, scale, sludge and air in the coolant system reduce its

e� ectiveness and can cause premature failure of some coolant and non coolant system components.

� e main functions of the Engine Cooling Sys-tem are to carry heat away from the engine and main-tain the correct op-erating temperature. � e system accom-plishes this by circulating an-tifreeze/cool-ant around the componen t s where heat is generated and carrying it to the radiator to be cooled.

TRANSMISSIONWith extreme press-

sures and high heat your � uid starts to break down. Deposits begin to form around you transmission’s moving parts resulting in erratic or sluggish shift points.

BRAKE FLUID FLUSHWhy this is important:

� is preventative mainte-nance service can restore the � rmness of a brake pedal that feels spongy. It also helps prevent brake fade and prolongs the life of vital components.
