9TH ANNUAL FUNDRAISER FOR SUDDEN ARRHYTHMIA

DEATH SYNDROME

CAPITAL DISTRICT The 9th annual Christies Heartober-fest will be held in memory of Christie Tolosky, local graduate of Shenendehowa High and Siena College, who died suddenly in 2005 at the age of 24. The Tolosky family will host an October-

fest-style event at the Columbia Pavilion in the Saratoga State Park on Saturday September 27, at 1:00pm with beer, food, auctions and raffl es. The event is open to the public. All proceeds benefi t the SADS Foundation. Heartoberfest raises awareness for Long QT Syndrome, which unexpect-edly claimed Christies life in 2005. Long QT Syndrome is an electrical disturbance of the heart, which causes an abnormal heart rate. This can lead to fainting episodes and can lead to sudden cardiac death. Once diagnosed, Long QT is treatable. A common treatment is the prescription of a beta-blocker, while sometimes an Implantable Cardioverter Defi brillator (ICD) is necessary. Christies Heartoberfest has raised over $100,000 and last year had 240 attendees. The event boasts a friendly atmosphere. Community involvement continues to be high, with many local businesses supporting the event. Donated items include food, drinks and items for the auction and raffl es. For more information on Christies Heartoberfest visit www.christiesheartoberfest.com or email [email protected] Information on the SADS foundation can be found at www.StopSADS.org.

PREP THE YARD FOR WINTER WEATHER

As quickly as autumn weather arrives it seems to move aside for the blustery, cold days of winter. Winter can catch a per-son off guard and the seasons are now less predictable than ever before.

It's never too early to begin preparing your yard and outdoor living spaces for winter. Homeowners may be sad to bid fare-well to the furniture and accessories of the fair-weather sea-son, but time is of the essence when prepping for impending ice and snow.

* Clean patio furniture. Give cushions and structures a thor-ough cleaning and allow to dry completely. Cleaning items before storing them for the winter saves time and energy next year when it's time once again to set up the yard for recreation. If anything is damaged beyond repair, discard it

and look for replacements during end-of-season sales when savings can be had.

* Move things indoors. The more items you can store in a safe and secure location the better. Load the garage, basement or storage shed with outdoor gear. Leaving items exposes them to the elements, and such expo-sure can cause rust, wear and damage. Flower pots and lawn ornaments also can blow around in winter wind or collapse under the

weight of the snow, so col-lect these items and store them for the winter. Take out patio umbrellas and put them in the shed. If some-thing is too large to move indoors, such as a barbecue or a pool filter, cover it with a durable tarp and secure it with rope.

* Cover delicate trees. De-pending on where you live, certain fruit trees, including fig trees, may need to be covered for the winter. Cov-ering protects them from subfreezing temperatures and helps ensure they will rebound in the spring. Tropi-cal plants should be moved indoors where they can thrive in a heated home. Do not rip out chrysanthemum plants. Contrary to popular belief, these are not annuals. They will rebloom year after year if allowed to do so.

* Remove water collectors. Bring in or cover anything that may accumulate water, such as bird baths or kids' toys. Water expands when frozen, and that means wa-ter trapped in any ceramic, glass or even plastic vessel can expand and cause the container to crack.

* Clean up leaves and debris. Piles of leaves not only can suffocate a lawn and cause discoloration, but also can be attractive homes for ro-dents and insects looking for a warm place to spend their winters. Keep your yard neat and clean to discourage wildlife from taking up resi-dence near your home.

* Cover vegetable and flower beds. Invest in some burlap to lay down over planting beds. This helps to keep the ground from freezing over and minimize weeds for next season.

* Care for outdoor ponds. If you have a pond on your property, remove any weeds around it and fish out any leaves from the water.

Leaves will decay in the water and build up ammonia levels that can harm fish. If the pond is small, cover it for the win-ter. Also, start cutting back on feeding outdoor fish. These aquatic animals' bodies begin to prepare for winter by slow-ing down metabolism. Continuing to feed them can harm the fish when the temperature drops.

* Wrap up pool season. It's wise to close the pool and cover it before leaves start to drop. Otherwise you will have a hard time of keeping the water clean.

* Plant spring bulbs now. Now is a good time to plan where you want to put spring bulbs. Once you have mapped things out, get the bulbs in the ground. Bulbs are relatively inexpen-sive and will provide that first punch of color when winter finally skips town.

Autumn is a busy time for preparing your home and yard for the arrival of winter weather.

FALL CHIMNEY CLEANING TIPSHomeowners whose homes have fireplaces understand that a little more maintenance goes into autumn prep work for their homes than for those homeowners without fireplaces. Readying the fireplace for another season of use requires some upkeep.

A clean fireplace and chimney is the best defense against hazardous conditions that can cause a chimney or home fire. For those who did not clean their chimneys in the spring after extensive winter use, it is imperative to handle cleaning prior to lighting your first fire in the coming winter.

Chimney cleaning can be a do-it-yourself job. Rods and brushes can cost as much as $150, depending on where you live. That is roughly equivalent to the cost of hiring a profes-sional chimney sweep once. But if you have a fear of heights or prefer not to climb up on the roof to inspect the chimney, you may just want to hire a professional.

When cleaning your chimney, first place plastic sheeting in the fireplace and around the opening to the fireplace inside the home. Then climb up on the roof and remove the chim-ney cap inspecting the chimney for soot and creosote, which tends to be thickest at the mouth of the chimney where it

DID YOU KNOW?Before saying "so long" to yard work at the end of autumn, homeowners should remove thatch from their lawns. Thatch is dead grass that's often identifiable by its yellowish tint, and this dead grass, if left to loom in the lawn over the winter, can block air and moisture from making its way into the soil. That can make it difficult for a lawn to recover come the spring and may even cost homeowners a substantial amount of money to address when winter finally skips town. When removing thatch, resist the temptation to rake with lots of physical force, as raking too hard can harm the lawn. Instead, commit to three or four easy passes with the rake, as this will collect the thatch without damaging the lawn. Many people rent

will cool and stick to the inside of the masonry. Use the cor-rect size brush for your chimney to make adequate surface contact to sweep out the debris. Go inside and clean up the residual mess, then reach up into the chimney from the fire-place side and remove any other soot before moving into the basement (or wherever the chimney reaches the bottom) to remove any soot that has dropped from that area as well.

Cleaning a chimney is a messy task that will take some work, but it is a task that needs to be done to safeguard a home before the arrival of winter.

a dethatcher from a nearby lawn and garden supply store, and such a device can make the process of removing thatch much easier. However, be sure to clean the machine before using it on your lawn, as there is no way of telling what con-dition the previous renter's lawn was in when he or she used the device. Failing to clean the dethatcher can spread disease from a previous renter's lawn onto your own, and that can prove another costly mistake come the spring when your lawn is looking to rebound. If seeding the lawn in early fall, which can be a great time to reseed, remove the thatch be-fore laying down any new seed. If you wait to remove thatch until after you have laid down new seed, then the lawn likely won't benefit from the seed and you will likely just rake the new seed away when it comes time to remove thatch.

Now Is The Time For: Lawn Overseeding Offering Curbside Leaf Removal

GET THE 411 ON FLOORINGChoosing the right flooring for a home is no small task. Floor-ing is expensive, so homeowners want to make the best deci-sion possible so their choice of flooring is not one they regret and ultimately replace in the years to come.

When choosing flooring for their homes, many homeowners are overwhelmed by the options at their disposal. Each type of flooring can look great in its own way, which is why home-

owners may struggle to find the right fit for their homes. Educating yourself about flooring is a great way to make the process of choos-ing your next floor much less overwhelming and more enjoyable. The following are some of the more popular flooring options you will no doubt en-counter as your search for a flawless floor begins.

Hardwood

Nearly everyone is familiar with hardwood floors, which are durable, warm and a favorite of homeowners aiming for a tra-ditional look. Homes with open floor plans often benefit from hardwood flooring, as it creates the feeling of continuity that homeowners hope to achieve with open floor plans. Various species, including oak, maple and cherry, of hardwood floor-ing are available, and they typically vary in price, with more exotic imported options carrying hefty price tags. More tra-ditional hardwood flooring is less expensive, and solid wood flooring can be refinished several times to increase its lifes-pan.

Engineered wood

Engineered wood is less susceptible to temperature changes and humidity than solid wood, and some new varieties of engineered wood include substrates made from recycled wood fiber and stone dust, which may appeal to eco-friendly homeowners. Men and women who want to install their own floors may prefer engineered wood, which is now available in self-locking parquet or plank squares that can be installed without using glue or nails.

Bamboo

Bamboo is another flooring alternative that's popular among eco-conscious homeowners, as it comes from plants that

regenerate quickly and is therefore considered a sus-tainable material. Bamboo flooring is made of strands of bamboo that are glued to-gether, forming engineered planks or solid strips. Bam-boo flooring is strong and able to resist the negative ef-fects of fluctuating humidity, which include swelling and contraction. Many people prefer the fresh, bright feel of bamboo flooring.

Laminate

Laminate flooring is among the less expensive flooring mate-rials to buy and install. Homeowners who purchase laminate flooring have an array of options to choose from, and float-ing laminate flooring systems can be installed over existing floors without glue or nails. Some feel laminate flooring is in-distinguishable from real wood, but the plastic coating that makes up the top layer of laminate flooring is often a give-away that the floors are laminate and not real wood. Similar in construction to engineered wood, laminate flooring differs because its top layer is a photographic imprint on the face of each board, whereas engineered wood is made up of real hardwood veneer attached to several layers of plywood.

Cork

Cork is another sustainable flooring material that's a favorite among homeowners looking to make their homes more eco-friendly. The appearance of cork floors is unlike many flooring materials, as it is speckled thanks to unusual grain patterns of the trees from which it is harvested. Cork flooring is popular in kitchens and bathrooms because cork tiles have a naturally nonslip surface that makes areas of a home where floors get wet safer. Cork flooring may need to be resealed every few years to guard against stains and potential moisture issues.

Flooring choices vary greatly, and it's easy for homeowners to become overwhelmed by all of the options at their disposal. But taking time to understand each of those options can make the process of choosing a floor that much more fun.

TWO SIDES OF CURB APPEAL: BEAUTY AND PERFORMANCE

(NewsUSA) - If your house is starting to look a little scruffy, you could re-caulk and re-paint, but that's a lot of work. Plus, you'd be out there again in a few years doing it all over again. And would it really make that much of a difference in the overall look? To really jolt your curb appeal, maybe it's time to re-side.

If so, you'll want to balance beauty and performance, says designer, and home improvement expert Vicki Payne.

"On the beauty side, when you mix materials, incorporate a variety of shapes, use rich colors to accentuate windows and doors or the whole house, the synergies are spectacu-lar," she said. "On the performance side, choice of materials is critical -- make sure you go with something that will retain long-lasting beauty but not require a lot of effort to main-tain."

In the past, homeowners, designers, builders and remod-elers frequently chose vinyl siding on its own and in combi-nation with brick, stone and even other styles of vinyl and polymeric siding for its durability, low maintenance and val-ue. It has the lowest installed cost of any exterior cladding, never needs painting or caulking and can be cleaned with just a garden hose, long-handled bristle brush and soapy wa-ter. Vinyl and insulated siding consistently rank among the highest return on investments for remodeling projects.

That's partly why vinyl siding has been the number-one choice in exterior cladding for the last 20 years, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. But with improved aesthetic qualities and performance of today's vinyl siding, trim and accesso-ries, it's increasingly popular for its ability to suit a sweeping range of architectural styles and design tastes.

In fact, vinyl siding is available in more profiles than any other cladding on the market. Using the latest technology,

vinyl siding manufacturers can recreate the fine wood exteri-ors of the past that work beautifully with many architectural styles from historic to contemporary. And vinyl siding is avail-able in a broad and ever-increasing spectrum of colors.

To see what your home might look like with a facelift, many home improvement companies offer online tools that allow you to mix and match trim and accessories to accent details specific to the architectural style of your home. Just search "siding visualizer" for a list of sites.

"No matter the age or type of house, whatever your bud-get, looking to sell or just make your neighbors jealous, there are many ways to transform your house into something spec-tacular," Payne said. To see examples of homes beautifully sid-ed with vinyl, visit www.vinylsiding.org/homeowners/photo-gallery/.

BUDGET-FRIENDLY BATHROOM TRANSFORMATION TIPS

The allure of a spa-style bathroom is something few homeowners can resist. Such bathrooms can make for a welcome retreat after a long day at the office or an afternoon spent chasing kids around the yard.

But as appealing as such a sanctuary may seem, the cost of creating a luxury washroom is more than many homeowners' budgets can withstand. Fortunately, a dream bathroom does not have to break the bank. In fact, there are several ways to make a bathroom worthy of the most comforting spa without stretching your budget.

* Install a wall-hung mirror. If your idea of a luxury bathroom harkens back to a time before the advent of recessed medicine cabinets, then a wall-hung mirror can give the bathroom an entirely new feel without much of a financial commitment. Flush-mount mirrors need not require the services of a contractor, but they can provide a sense of elegance that recessed cabinets cannot.

* Replace bathroom countertops. A countertop replacement job may sound expensive, but such an undertaking is not very costly in the washroom, where counter space is typically lim-ited. Since the cost of countertop materials is by the square foot, you can replace bathroom surfaces for a relatively small amount of money. Granite countertops can be beautiful, but such surfaces do not create the warm feel that many prefer in a luxury bathroom. A material such as soapstone is warm and inexpensive and can quickly give the bathroom a new look.

* Embrace calm colors. Painting the bathroom is another inexpensive way to give the room an entirely new look. If the walls of your washroom are currently a vibrant color, consider a more calming tone to give the room the luxurious and relaxing feel you're aiming for. If your bathroom includes a clawfoot tub, you also can make it a two-tone tub to add a touch of re-laxing elegance. Paint the tub's exterior in a calming tone such as soft gray, and you will have transformed the washroom at little cost and even less effort.

* Transform your double vanity. Many homeowners prefer a double vanity in their bathrooms, as such a setup allows both men and women the space to get ready for bed or work without getting in one another's way. But instead of a traditional vanity with a counter between the sinks, consider installing matching pedestal sinks to surround an antique washstand. This can give the washroom a feel of antique luxury, and such washstands can found for a few hundred dollars.

* Replace old fixtures. Though they are often overlooked, cabinet and door fixtures as well as towel racks can greatly influence the feel of a washroom. If the cabinet and drawer handles are old or outdated, replace them with more modern options. Such a job might be even more effective if you repaint or reface existing cabinetry. Neither task is terribly expensive, but both can give the washroom a more luxurious feel. The same goes for replacing old towel racks, which can be an eyesore if they're especially dated.

Transforming a bathroom may seem like a significant and costly undertaking, but savvy homeowners can give their washrooms a new and luxurious look without spending much money.

DEFEATING ODORS AND DAMPNESS(NAPS)If your basement is like many in America, its all wet. The American Society of Home Inspectors estimates that 60 percent of U.S. homes have wet basements, and 38 percent run the risk of basement mold.

The Causes

Moisture is the most common problem in basements and crawl spaces, either because it comes in from the outside or is being produced inside the home by your family. The soil around walls may have lots of moisture that seeps in through cracks in the foundation or be-cause of hydrostatic pressure from the soil outside the walls or floor.

In addition, basements tend to be cooler than the rest of the house, and because cool air holds less moisture than warm air, basements usually have higher relative humidity than the rest of the house.

Other reasons for excess moisture include:

Missing, broken or poorly installed gutters ordownspouts

Poorgradingaroundthefoundationofthehousethat causes water to drain toward the house rather than away

Clothesdryerandbathroomsarentproperlyventilated

Windowsleak

Sumppumphasfailed.

The Problem

While some signs of excess moisture may be obvious, such as the appearance of condensa-tion on windows, theyre also often invisible in that theyre hidden in crawl spaces and base-ments. As studies have shown, up to 50 percent of the air in a house comes from underground areas, and this damp, moldy air rises and eventually makes its way into the rest of the house. There, it can cause poor indoor air quality and uncomfortably high humidity levels.

A Solution

Fortunately, you can control dampness and odors due to high humidity in basements: Use a dehumidifier. The most energy efficient on the market are Santa Fe high-capacity dehumidi-fiers.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Energy Starcertified dehumidifiers can remove the same amount of moisture as similarly sized conventional units but will use at least 15 percent less energy. Santa Fe offers a dehumidifier that exceeds the Energy Star standard by using 50 percent less energy.

These dehumidifiers will also help maintain the structural integrity of your home, will mini-mize mold growth, and will improve the indoor air quality of the whole house by removing odor-causing moisture.

An energy-efficient dehumidifier can help your home avoid the mold, pests, allergens and odors a damp basement can encourage.

UNDERSTANDING ATTIC INSULATION

Insulation is one of the best investments a homeowner can make, but too often people overlook insulation in favor of more eye-catching renovations. Insulation is not something to be ignored, as it contributes to year-round comfort in the home while reducing energy costs along the way.

According to the Energy Star program, you should add more insulation if the existing insula-tion is just level with or below the floor joists of your attic. If you cannot see any of the floor joists because the insulation is well above them, you probably have enough and adding more may not be cost-effective. In ad-dition, check to see if the insula-tion is an even thickness across the entire attic. Sometimes it can be thicker in the middle and then peter out toward the eaves.

Attic insulation is measured according to its R-Value, which measures the insulation's ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-Value, the better the thermal performance of the insulation. In many climates, the recommended level for homes is R-38. If you prefer more insulation, increase the R-Value.

Insulation is made from different materials, including fiber-glass, cellulose and rock wool. It comes in different forms. Rolls and batts are some of the more commonly used types of insulation. Loose-fill insulation is a loose insulation with no backing that is usually blown into a space. Rigid foam and foam-in-place insulation are additional types of insulation.

The type of insulation used depends on where the insulation is needed and your budget. Certain materials are not applica-ble for particular uses, and typically insulation that provides a higher R-Value tends to be more expensive. Examine the cost-effectiveness of the type of insulation being considered before application. You also can mix and match insulations depending on the application.

The U.S. Department of Energy offers these additional tips with regard to insulation.

* Consider factors such as your climate, home design and

budget when selecting insulation for your home.

* Use higher R-Value insulation, such as spray foam, on ex-terior walls and in cathedral ceilings to get more insulation with less thickness.

* Install attic air barriers, such as wind baffles, along the en-tire attic eave to help ensure proper airflow from the soffit to the attic. Ventilation helps with moisture control and reduces summer cooling bills, but don't ventilate your attic if you have insulation on the underside of the roof. Ask a qualified contractor for recommendations.

* Be careful how close you place insulation next to a recessed light fixture -- unless it is insulation contact (IC) rated -- to avoid a fire hazard.

* Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions, and wear the proper protective gear when installing insulation.

In addition to making a home more comfortable, insulation also can buffer noise, making the home more peaceful. In-sulation can reduce noises from outside the home as well as absorb sounds from inside.

For insulation recommendations tailored to your home, visit the DOE Zip Code Insulation Calculator at http://http://web.ornl.gov/~roofs/Zip/ZipHome.html.

Loose-fill insulation is one option when insulating an attic.

www.procutlandscape.com518-399-7443MAKE HOME PROJECTS A FAMILY AFFAIRTackling home improvement projects with kids in tow can be challenging. But if kids are old

enough, moms and dads can enlist their youngsters help when working on projects around the house. Not only can adults keep closer tabs on kids activities, but involving kids in home projects also lets parents instill important and practical lessons at the same time.

When asked to pitch in on home projects, young kids may feel proud they can lend a hand with such a grown-up task. With the right instruction, children of all ages can get involved

with fix-up projects and learn new skills in the process.

* Include children from the start. When beginning a project, parents can make their kids a part of the design and planning process, welcoming the input of younger members of the family, especially if renovations will impact spaces they use directly. Draft a list of supplies and ask questions of the kids regarding what supplies they think will have to go into completing the project.

* Shop as a family. Although it may slow you down, take children along to the home improve-ment store so you can purchase supplies together. Let youngsters help you as you choose materials for the project. This way they can see how the raw materials will turn into the fin-ished renovation.

* Emphasize safety. Children should understand that tools serve a distinct purpose and that they are not toys. Identify and explain the dangerous pieces of equipment and instruct chil-dren that they should not touch or turn on tools without an adult nearby. Go over the proper ways to handle the tools and explain the purposes of each device. Make sure everyone is wearing safety equipment, including eye protection, gloves and ear protection, while hand-ing the tools.

* Demonstrate and then let kids try. Children will not have the skills to perform more intricate tasks, but older kids can hammer some nails, mix paint or even cut wood with supervision. Assign tasks based on the childs age. For example, a preteen may be able to saw wood, while a kindergartener can hand over nails and tools. Illustrate the correct way to get things done and then have children mirror your actions.

* Attempt an easy project first. Painting a room, building a planter box, or another less com-plicated project can help parents gauge their kids abilities.

Involving children in home improvement projects can teach then new skills, give them a greater appreciation of the work that goes into maintaining a house, instill a sense of pride in youngsters, and provide a great chance for kids and their parents to spend quality together.
