By Elinor FlorencePioneer Staff

Th e Toby Th eatre on Invermere’s main street is still in business and won’t close its doors as long as the summer visitors keep coming, says Ron Peters, who has owned the business with his wife Elizabeth since 1971.

A retro sign surrounded by fl ashing lights on the exterior of the building draws patrons into the lobby, itself a work of art with fake fi replace, aquarium and fresh popcorn dished out by the owners themselves.

Th e theatre provides a trip down memory lane, with star shapes cut out of red shag rug attached to the walls, old-fashioned double loveseats, and Ron’s prized model airplane collection hanging from the ceiling.

“We get people dropping by to look at the place all the time,” he says.

When the theatre was rumoured to close two years ago, the owners were overwhelmed by the support they received, both from people in the community and from Calgary.

“If it weren’t for the Calgary customers, we wouldn’t survive,” Ron says simply.

An entire generation of second homeowners and visitors has been coming to Th e Toby since they were children, and are now bringing their own children to see the show.

One couple even recreated Th e Toby—complete with neon sign—in their home entertainment centre back in Calgary.

During the winters, however, the theatre is often mostly empty. Ron says he can’t blame locals for mak-ing the trip to Cranbrook to see movies, but it still leaves Th e Toby scrambling to keep its doors open.

“With the increase in fuel costs, our cost of ship-ping a fi lm and returning it to Calgary is now in excess of $100 per movie,” says Ron.

“In the winter months when many times the at-tendance is only 10 to 15 people per night, as you can see the cost is more than the income.

“In the off -season, the operation of the theatre is strictly a public service to the community.”

Currently, the theatre runs a movie once each night except Sunday, which has always been a day off for the Peters. Business has been steady throughout the summer and a few times patrons were even turned away. Th is summer’s most popular movies so far were Ratatouille and Hair Spray, Ron said.

But the owner warns that all good things must come to an end. Th e Hollywood movie industry is converting all its movies to digital, and Th e Toby will be unable to aff ord the $200,000-plus to change its technology to accommodate the digital movies. Cur-rently, Th e Toby still uses a reel-to-reel projector and 35-millimetre fi lm.

Visitors are often surprised to fi nd that there is an intermission in the middle of each movie—that’s so Ron can change reels.

“Th e change to digital movies will aff ect small the-atres all over North America, all over the whole world, really,” he says. But he’s hoping the transition won’t take place for another fi ve to seven years.

Th e Toby Th eatre fi rst opened its doors here in 1952 after being built by Billy Morgan and Morley Hogan, modelled after Th e Yoho Th eatre in Golden.

Th ey sold it in 1967 to Steve and Ray Kapowski of Radium, who operated it until 1971, when it was purchased by the Peters.

Since then, the Peters have run the theatre through good times and bad, and raised their two daughters, Tammy and Nicole.

A few years ago Ron brought Th e Toby into the internet age by creating its own website, and viewers can check out movie times at www.tobytheatre.com.

Th is week, Th e Simpsons Movie is showing on August 31 and September 1 at 8 p.m., followed by Th e Bourne Ultimatum, nightly from September 4 to 8 at 7:30 p.m.

Th e following week, the theatre will be closed from September 9th to 15th so the Peters can enjoy the fes-tivites surrounding daughter Tammy’s wedding.

When should you buy a water softener?• What is hard water? Hard water contains large amounts of calcium

and magnesium–two minerals that cause the soapy scum on glasses and lime residue on bathroom fi x-tures. While suitable for drinking and gardening, hard water can cause mineral build-up in water pipes, reducing its fl ow. Soap and shampoo’s ability to lather is reduced.

• When should you buy a water softener?Above 121 mg/litre, you may want to consider

a water softener. Generally speaking, groundwater (well water taken from aquifers in the ground) is hard. Some municipalities in Canada use groundwa-ter to supply water to residents. Residents, in small or rural communities, may not have municipal wa-ter service and get water from private or communal wells. Th e most crucial step in deciding whether your home should have a water softener is to fi nd out if your water is hard. If you have municipal wa-ter, call your water department or utility. If you have a well, contact a water-softening company that can conduct a test and classify its hardness.

• How does a water softener work? A water softener uses a medium that serves to

exchange “ions” of calcium and magnesium with sodium and potassium.

Th is occurs in four steps: 1. To do the ion replacement, the water in the

house runs through a resin bed of small plastic beads or zeolite. Th e beads are covered with sodium or po-tassium ions. As the water fl ows past the ions, they swap places with the calcium and magnesium ions. Eventually, the beads contain nothing but calcium and magnesium, and softening stops. It is then time to regenerate the beads or zeolite.

2. To regenerate, the beads regain their sodium or potassium ions by being fl ooded with a salty, brine solution that is rich in sodium or potassium.

3. Once completed, the calcium and magne-sium, dirt and sediments are fl ushed from the beads and into the drain in a process called backwash.

4. Th e fi nal phase rinses the mineral tank with fresh water and loads the brine tank so it’s ready for the next cycle. Automatic water softeners are usually programmed to recharge at specifi c times that will not disrupt the occupants. It is more water-effi cient to have a metered model that will regenerate only when required.

• What are the benefi ts of a water softener? A water softener reduces water hardness, mak-

ing it easier to shower and clean fabrics and dishes. With softened water, less soap is needed for bathing

and laundry. Skin feels cleaner and clothing softer. Pipes, fi xtures and appliances have less scale build-up. With less build-up, appliances can operate ef-fi ciently. Mineral-derived odours may be reduced; and, there are fewer stains on bathroom fi xtures.

• Where can you buy a water softener?Water softeners are sold by water equipment

dealers, department and hardware stores. Units should be certifi ed to the appropriate standards as outlined in the Certifi cation section.

• What does a softener look like? Th ere are two basic types of water softeners.

Th ere is a single upright cabinet style and an up-right twin-tank style. Both are approximately 1.5 m in height and about 0.5 m in width.

• Where can I get more information?You can consult Health Canada’s website which

describes activities related to Canadian drinking wa-ter quality. Th e Canadian Water Quality Association is an industry source of information for drinking water treatment units, and can be found at www.cwqa.com.

You can talk to various retailers and dealers to discuss diff erent approaches to softening. Your local municipal water department or utility may also be of assistance.

Confessions of a TV home show addictBy Elinor FlorencePioneer Publisher

At the risk of sound-ing shallow, one of my favourite occupations after a long day at work is to sink into the couch and turn on a television program about home decorating, renovating or fl ipping.

I’m not sure why, but it tends to restore my sense of order in the world to see an ugly home being transformed into a thing of beauty - not to men-tion that people make unbelievable amounts of money while they are at it.

My home show addiction started about 30 years ago when I became fascinated with Th is Old House, with Bob Vila.

Back then it was the only home show on the air; now there are so many of them - including Canadian, British and American - you can fi nd something to watch at any hour of the day.

And the personalities of the hosts also play a sig-nifi cant role.

Here are my current favourites:• Real Estate Pros: Th e original Trademark Prop-

erties team with Richard and Ginger from Charleston, South Carolina who have now moved on from Flip Th is House to another show called Real Estate Pros.

Th eir goal is to make as much money as they can in the shortest possible time, and they somehow man-age to do it without seeming like the shameless greedy gits that they no doubt are.

Th e availability of cheap Mexican labour in the southern states, which we don’t have here in Canada, makes it all possible.

• Sarah’s House, with Sarah Richardson: Cana-dian, tasteful, elegant, understated. All these things go together.

• Canadian House and Home: Not bad, but I like the magazine better. Both are owned by host Lyn-da Reeves, and in the past both the show and the mag-azine used to focus on Toronto; now I see a lot more articles and advertising from Alberta. Last year the magazine even profi led a house on Lake Windermere.

• How Not to Decorate: Scottish hosts Colin and Justin are way O. T. T. (over the top), but they have a witty turn of phrase, if you can decipher their accent.Th is is one of the few home shows that carries a Coarse Language warning. Th e jolly pair is coming to Canada in October to shoot a new show called Home Heist.

• HGTV’s Design Challenge: Th e season has just fi nished, but this survivor-type show had design-ers compete with each other to decorate rooms. Th e results were either stunning or just plain awful, but fascinating to watch.

• Million Dollar Listing: Th is show follows the obscenely-rich with their botoxed faces fl ipping gor-geous homes in the Los Angeles area; the ocean views and gardens would make you want to move to south-ern California immediately if it weren’t for the people who are already there.

• Restaurant Makeover: Th is adds another di-mension with the makeover of the menus as well as the interiors of failing restaurants; it’s especially good for people who love both eating and decorating. And it’s Canadian.

• Designer Guys: Th is WAS my all-time favourite design show, with Canadian hosts Stephen and Chris. Somehow I can’t warm up to the new guys.

Th e worst design show on the air, now thankfully no longer to be found on any channel, was While You Were Out.

Th e end product was always makeshift and sloppy. Th e hosts slapped paint onto walls, turned amateurs loose on a sewing machine to produce the worst seams ever, and their “crafts” looked like something my kids brought home from primary school.

Canadians loveto renovatetheir homes

About 1.5 million households in 10 major Ca-nadian centres surveyed indicated they completed renovations in 2006, costing an average of more than $11,000, according to the Renovation and Home Pur-chase Survey released by Canada Mortgage and Hous-ing Corporation.

“More than $17.3 billion was spent on renova-tions last year across the 10 major centres surveyed,” said Bob Dugan, Chief Economist.

“As well, 46 percent of homeowners in these 10 centres surveyed indicated that they intend to spend $1,000 or more on renovations this year.”

Close to half (47 percent) of households reported that the cost of renovations was in line with what they had budgeted. More than one-third of households went over their planned budget for the renovation.

Twenty-four percent of households that under-took a renovation project were do-it-yourselfers who hired a contractor for a portion of the work. Slightly more households contracted out the renovation work (40 percent of respondents) as opposed to doing the work themselves (34 percent).

Th e main reason given by households for renovat-ing in 2006 was to update, add value or to prepare to sell the residence (61 percent). Th irty percent of respondents stated that the main reason for renovating was that their home needed repairs.

Th e top three renovations completed last year were: remodelling of rooms (34 percent), painting or wallpapering (32 percent), and hard surface fl ooring and wall-to-wall carpeting (32 percent).

As for renovation intentions in 10 major centres in 2007, they are strongest in Edmonton and Winnipeg where 51 and 50 percent of consumers, respectively, indicated they planned to undertake renovations cost-ing $1,000 or more this year. Th e share of potential renovators is lowest in Toronto and Vancouver with 43 percent of households intending to renovate.

On the home purchasing front, eight percent of households across the 10 major centres surveyed in-tend to purchase a home in 2007 that will be used as a primary residence. About half of the households that stated they intend to purchase a home in 2007 are fi rst-time buyers, compared to 40 percent in 2006. Th e majority of fi rst-time buyers are between the ages of 25 and 34, with a household income between $80,000 to about $100,000.

Home buying intentions are strongest in Calgary, where 14 percent of households reported that they are considering buying a home this year. Purchase inten-tions are also strong in Edmonton where 11 percent of households plan to buy, while the share is lowest in Montréal and Québec (6 percent).

Th e ten major centres surveyed were: St. John’s, Halifax, Québec, Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winni-peg, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver.

All things must come to an end and as the days of summer wane, hope-fully so are your summer projects.

If you are in the home stretch and need only to put a fi nish on your project, the following chart should help. It covers a good range of species and if yours is not on the list you can probably decipher from the list what you may need to do.

Hardness: Relating to the density of the wood and those best suited for heavy traffi c or items such as counter-tops.

Strength: Generally hardwoods have greater strength, but, increased size or thickness of softwoods can obtain the same strength.

Cutting Quality: Th is refers to how

well the wood cuts with-out collapsing or splinter-ing. Sharp tools are a must when cutting wood in or-der to reduce tear-out or ragged edges.

Planing Quality: An even grained wood planes better than a well-fi gured wood or a porous wood species.

Gluing Quality: Most woods glue up well but oily woods and tight pore woods don’t take glue as well.

Stain Recommended: Th is refers to the best end result from the wood spe-cies used. Although experimenting with your wood and stains is always a good practice, do not use an oil based fi nish over an oil based stain as this will cause clouding. Use shellac or lacquer over oil based stain.

Suitable for painting: Prepare open pored wood with fi ller. All woods should be sanded well and sealed with sealer or primer before painting.

I have referred to this chart on many

occasions in my early days after furni-ture design school. It was part of my reference material and I hope it serves as a good aid to your future projects. Have a wonderful fall and let’s pray for a great ski season!
