Q. What cin we do to improve
the mask attractiveness of our
home?
A. Make the most of that First
Impression as potential buyers
begin their decision-making
early with their first visit to
your propesty. The following
points will be helpful.
• Summer - lawns should be
well manicured, shrubs
trimmed, leaves raked and
yard clear of children's bikes,
toys and other debris. •
Winter - clear driveway and
walkways of snow. • Repaint
or touch-up faded or chipped
paint. Clean windows and
window coverings. • Sticking
doors or cabinets should be
adjusted • Organize closets and pack away off-season
clothing - your closets will appear larger • Bathrooms
and kitchens should sparkle -repair leaky taps and
replace damage4 or unsightly caulking • All rooms
should be clean and free of unnecessary items
including excess furniture • A little time and money
spent now will pay big dividends later
Prospects would rather see how great your home
really looks rather than how great it could look "with a
little work"

REGISTERED JEWELLERS
Q. Is an appraisal necessary for
insurance purposes and how
often shou1E you have an update?
A. When you need an
appraisal on jewellery items
you need the help of a
qualified jeweller. Some of
your jewellery may have
special or sentimental
importance but not much
monetary value. An appraisal
serves as proof of ownership
in the event of loss or theft.
There are 2 major reasons for
acquiring an appraisal;
insurance and estate settlement. Ap�aising is a
complex procedure which must be performed by a
qualified jeweller. An appraisal update should be
considered every 2 or 3 years. The jewellery should be
brought in for inspection for damage and loose stones
and mounting. A jeweller will charge a fee for an
appraisal. Ask for an estimate in advance.

Q. I've had to replace my vinyl
flooring due to black spotting in
front of patio doors. it began with
small spots that keep increasing
in size over a six month period.
What could have caused this
discoloration?
A. These spots are normally
found in areas of excessive
heat such as under
refrigerators, heating vents
and areas of direct sunlight.
Heat from various sources
eventually breakdown the
dyes in the colour used print
the pattern and gradually turn dark brown to black.
This usually starts as spots but will cover ar) entire
area that is affected by heat. The only solution is to
repair the area with matching material if possible or
replace the entire Floor.

Q. Are more people turning, to

A. The number of people
tuming to cremation t
increased significantly during
the past few years, but
cremation itself remains
unchanged. It is the process
of reducing the body to bone
fragments through the
application of i(ttense heat.
Contrary to what some
people believe cremation does
not limit one's choices.; but, in

part of a series of events that lead to mermorialization.

the deceased and, thus have special meaning) for those

CHIROPRACTOR
Q. What does the cord 'chiropractic'
mean? and whet is chiropractic
philosophy? .
A. The word chiropractic comes
from the Greek words "choir" and
"praktikis", which together mean
"done by hand" or "treatment by
hand." pror!ounced kyro-prak-tic.
The human body has recuperative
powers that maintain its natural
state of healtit 1 ne role of the
chiropractor is to assist the
individual's natural.curative
processes by normalizing the
body's neural regulation,
primarily through the neuro -
musculo -skeletal system.
Chiropractic is concerned with the total neuro -musculo-
skeletal system, which can play a primary role in health,
because the body' various systems are interrelated. Focus is
not just on the spine, but the interdependence of bermes,
muscles and nerves. manual adjustment of the spine may
have beneficial impact on disorders in other areas of the body
due to this Interrelation.
