OAKVILLE NORTH NEWS Friday, January 8, 1993 â€" 6 @GROUPJ people properties inc. Betty Thompson, Sales Rep 247 North Service Road Telephone: §44â€"5000 REALTOR @Our children have moved out and we are lanning on moving to a townhouse. What would you advise us to buy â€"a freehold or a condominium townhouse? ® The decision which you "should" buy is entirely a ©@ matter of choice. Understanding the two concepts will help you to choose which style of living is for you. You need to know much more than I am able to elaborate in this column but this will give you some idea of the two concepts of ownership. If you contemplate a lifestyle where you will not have time, energy or health to take care of the outside of the home, then perhaps a condominium is for you. The inside of the home is completely yours from the roof down; the corporation owns the outside of the structure and all the property surrounding it (known as the common elements). As a condo owner; you are a shareholder in these common elements. You share the costs of maintaining the common elements. This expense is shared proportionately among the owners. If you wish all the benefits of full ownership of your own home and the | property which goes with it, and you are prepared to accept the responsibility of doing it yourself or paying for it to be done, then a freehold is for you. You are "free" to make decisions on the outside without getting permission from the condo corporation. Although you do not have a monthly condo fee, there is a maintenance and upkeep cost to be considered for upkeeping the outside of your freehold. There are a number of choice condominium and freehold townhouses in Oakville. If you need more information, give me a call. NOW OPEN MONDAYS!

The roast is the first and easiest method of distinguishâ€" © ing taste in coffee. The roasting of the beans cannot be @ left to amateurs since it takes many years of experience to judge the amount of roasting to perfectly develop the coffee oils which provide the aroma and flavour of fine coffee. Our roasters insist on working with small batches (100â€"200 kg). That way, we can test and taste every batch to ensure quality and consistency. This is our Roasting Scale: #1 LIGHT roasts result in a cinnamonâ€"coloured bean with delicate flavours. An excellent breakfast coffee. #2 LIGHTâ€"MEDIUM roast is still delicate with slightly stronger overtones. #3 MEDIUM roasts produce a fullâ€"bodied coffee that‘s never bitter. It‘s an excellent base for blends like our famous Royal Blend. #4 MEDIUMâ€"DARK roasts are dark brown with an oily sheen on the surface. The flavour is more complex and bittersweet. Ideal for espressoâ€"based drinks. #5 DARK roasted coffee is fullâ€"bodied, assertive and exâ€" tremely flavourful. It makes an ideal afterâ€"dinner brew. It‘s commonly thought that the darker the roast, the higher the caffeine content. In fact, the opposite is true. Roasting actually removes up to 15% of the caffeine in dark roasts.

As animal rights groups have called our attention to the suffering involved in producing genuine fur coats, manufacturers have created fabulous imposters such as mink, fox, lynx, sheared beaver, leopard and sable. By varying the pile length and pile density and by shearing in pelt lines, these fur like fashions have the authentic look of animal skins. Humanitarian concerns aside, there are many practical reasons to choose fake furs. These synthetic fur fabrics are warm yet lightweight. Unharmed by rain or snow, fake furs shed very little, nor do they require the special cleaning storage genuine furs do. Most shortâ€"haired fake furs are machine wash/dry while longâ€"haired versions are usually dryâ€"cleanable. This makes fake furs an affordable alternative. Since the alluring luxury of fur still beckons, luxurious alternatives can provide ecologically sound fur lookâ€"alikes with all the beauty of real fur without the guilt i ;
