From the Tab ManhellipFrank Leys
We just cleaned out the shop of the winter collection of pop cans
Paradise Village donated $19740 to the wheelchair program
Please see the article from the Holy Cross School on page 36hellip
We could do better if the residents would separate the tabs from the
cans as they are 10c more per lb than the cans
We still collect all Campbells food labels from soup and vegetables
They must be Campbellrsquos products
Drop them off along with your tabs and cans
Please place your tabs and cans and labels into a bin provided
at the back of 7 Nature Drive 204-422-8273
We only recycle aluminum drink cans (pop and beer) and beer bottles

helliphelliphelliphellipPart 2
A wild jeep ride through the dunes
Bedouins offered fresh dates
Falconer with his bird
The Desert and the Jeep Ride
You dont have to travel far out of the city to see miles and miles of
sand dunes and desert waste land We took a tour bus out to a staging
area for a jeep ride over the dunes Well it was some ride We were
dropped off to an assembly area where we noticed a group men letting
the air out of tires on several jeeps The intent To give more traction in
the sand The vehicles were chauffeured by drivers from Pakistan (who
had been trained to terrify tourists I am sure) So we innocently piled
into the jeeps that held 5 plus the driver In no time we were charging
up and down the dunes and being tossed left and right in our seats
(no seats belts) We would climb to the top of a high dune not knowing
if we would make it only to speed down the other side Sand flew
everywhere and the driver had to use the windshield wipers at times
The whole hair raising event lasted for about 15 minutes until we finally
reached our destination It was a Bedouin Encampment Now this was
more like it They served us cold beer some interesting foods lots of
dates and even offered camel rides We were then seated on pillows
surrounding a large square canvas ldquofloorrdquo on the sand A belly dancer
appeared and we were treated to a fascinating display Having just
witnessed a spectacular desert sunset we were all wondering about the
ride back in the dark All the driver could say was ldquoDifferent way
different wayrdquo Could that be worse or what As it turned out we were
close to a long fence and a straight path on smooth sand with no dunes
It was truly a wild ride but we wouldnt have wanted to miss it
The Heritage Village
This village provides a glimpse of Dubairsquos traditional culture and lifestyle
prior to the sixties Typical living quarters have been set up including the
rugs and cushion furnishings The venue offers various artisans
opportunity to display their work Local foods can be sampled also
We tried Shawarma a medley of various meats grilled together on a
vertical spit It was served on a pita or flatbread Condiments such as
hummus or amba (mango pickle) were then added Delicious
Nearby we spied a Falcon chained and tethered His handler watched
us warily Falconry is the sport of hunting wild game using trained birds
of prey It is very popular in the UAE Dubai even houses the Falcon
Heritage and Sports Centre Here there is a Veterinary Clinic and a
Souk where you can buy the latest accessories for your feathered
friend Tours are available for you where you actually go out hunting
with Falconers and try your luck Next time perhaps

Camel Farm Visit
It was quite a site with dozens of camels of all ages and sizes in
compounds Here we the tourists could lean over and feed them
green shrubbery There are two types of camels These were
dromedary an Arabian type with one hump (The Asian camel
has two) The camel still has an important role in UAE society
with many Bedouin families owning camels that provide milk
and are sacrificed during festivals Camel skin is used locally
to make shoes bags and water containers The wool which is
considered high quality is commonly used for tent and rug
making besides being fashioned into clothing
Camel Racing
Now a days the camel is essentially used for racing that is held
annually during the winter months The camels were once
ridden by child jockeys but allegations of human rights abuses
have led to nationwide bans on underage labour in the UAE and
Qatar Hence robotic jockeys They are about 1 foot high and
mounted on the back of the animalrsquos hump They are controlled
by trainers who are being driven in 4 x 4rsquos alongside the track
The trainers press the whip button as needed
Camels can run at speeds of up to 65 kmh (40 mph) in short
sprints and they can maintain a speed of 40 kmh (25 mph) for
an hour Oh yes betting takes place of course
Racing Camels Controlled by Robots
This has been only a brief glimpse of
Dubai If you plan to visit there are
many more remarkable sights including
the Dubai Mall with an indoor ski hill
the magnificent Jumeirah Golf Estates
the Dubai Fountain and lovely beaches
I would recommend a three day stay at
least Also plan to include a side trip to
the capital of the Emeritus Abu Dhabi

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue

Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days

Christian
Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

From the Tab ManhellipFrank Leys
We just cleaned out the shop of the winter collection of pop cans
Paradise Village donated $19740 to the wheelchair program
Please see the article from the Holy Cross School on page 36hellip
We could do better if the residents would separate the tabs from the
cans as they are 10c more per lb than the cans
We still collect all Campbells food labels from soup and vegetables
They must be Campbellrsquos products
Drop them off along with your tabs and cans
Please place your tabs and cans and labels into a bin provided
at the back of 7 Nature Drive 204-422-8273
We only recycle aluminum drink cans (pop and beer) and beer bottles

Visiting
helliphelliphelliphellipPart 2
A wild jeep ride through the dunes
Bedouins offered fresh dates
Falconer with his bird
The Desert and the Jeep Ride
You dont have to travel far out of the city to see miles and miles of
sand dunes and desert waste land We took a tour bus out to a staging
area for a jeep ride over the dunes Well it was some ride We were
dropped off to an assembly area where we noticed a group men letting
the air out of tires on several jeeps The intent To give more traction in
the sand The vehicles were chauffeured by drivers from Pakistan (who
had been trained to terrify tourists I am sure) So we innocently piled
into the jeeps that held 5 plus the driver In no time we were charging
up and down the dunes and being tossed left and right in our seats
(no seats belts) We would climb to the top of a high dune not knowing
if we would make it only to speed down the other side Sand flew
everywhere and the driver had to use the windshield wipers at times
The whole hair raising event lasted for about 15 minutes until we finally
reached our destination It was a Bedouin Encampment Now this was
more like it They served us cold beer some interesting foods lots of
dates and even offered camel rides We were then seated on pillows
surrounding a large square canvas ldquofloorrdquo on the sand A belly dancer
appeared and we were treated to a fascinating display Having just
witnessed a spectacular desert sunset we were all wondering about the
ride back in the dark All the driver could say was ldquoDifferent way
different wayrdquo Could that be worse or what As it turned out we were
close to a long fence and a straight path on smooth sand with no dunes
It was truly a wild ride but we wouldnt have wanted to miss it
The Heritage Village
This village provides a glimpse of Dubairsquos traditional culture and lifestyle
prior to the sixties Typical living quarters have been set up including the
rugs and cushion furnishings The venue offers various artisans
opportunity to display their work Local foods can be sampled also
We tried Shawarma a medley of various meats grilled together on a
vertical spit It was served on a pita or flatbread Condiments such as
hummus or amba (mango pickle) were then added Delicious
Nearby we spied a Falcon chained and tethered His handler watched
us warily Falconry is the sport of hunting wild game using trained birds
of prey It is very popular in the UAE Dubai even houses the Falcon
Heritage and Sports Centre Here there is a Veterinary Clinic and a
Souk where you can buy the latest accessories for your feathered
friend Tours are available for you where you actually go out hunting
with Falconers and try your luck Next time perhaps

Camel Farm Visit
It was quite a site with dozens of camels of all ages and sizes in
compounds Here we the tourists could lean over and feed them
green shrubbery There are two types of camels These were
dromedary an Arabian type with one hump (The Asian camel
has two) The camel still has an important role in UAE society
with many Bedouin families owning camels that provide milk
and are sacrificed during festivals Camel skin is used locally
to make shoes bags and water containers The wool which is
considered high quality is commonly used for tent and rug
making besides being fashioned into clothing
Camel Racing
Now a days the camel is essentially used for racing that is held
annually during the winter months The camels were once
ridden by child jockeys but allegations of human rights abuses
have led to nationwide bans on underage labour in the UAE and
Qatar Hence robotic jockeys They are about 1 foot high and
mounted on the back of the animalrsquos hump They are controlled
by trainers who are being driven in 4 x 4rsquos alongside the track
The trainers press the whip button as needed
Camels can run at speeds of up to 65 kmh (40 mph) in short
sprints and they can maintain a speed of 40 kmh (25 mph) for
an hour Oh yes betting takes place of course
Racing Camels Controlled by Robots
This has been only a brief glimpse of
Dubai If you plan to visit there are
many more remarkable sights including
the Dubai Mall with an indoor ski hill
the magnificent Jumeirah Golf Estates
the Dubai Fountain and lovely beaches
I would recommend a three day stay at
least Also plan to include a side trip to
the capital of the Emeritus Abu Dhabi

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue

Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H

From the Tab ManhellipFrank Leys
We just cleaned out the shop of the winter collection of pop cans
Paradise Village donated $19740 to the wheelchair program
Please see the article from the Holy Cross School on page 36hellip
We could do better if the residents would separate the tabs from the
cans as they are 10c more per lb than the cans
We still collect all Campbells food labels from soup and vegetables
They must be Campbellrsquos products
Drop them off along with your tabs and cans
Please place your tabs and cans and labels into a bin provided
at the back of 7 Nature Drive 204-422-8273
We only recycle aluminum drink cans (pop and beer) and beer bottles

helliphelliphelliphellipPart 2
A wild jeep ride through the dunes
Bedouins offered fresh dates
Falconer with his bird
The Desert and the Jeep Ride
You dont have to travel far out of the city to see miles and miles of
sand dunes and desert waste land We took a tour bus out to a staging
area for a jeep ride over the dunes Well it was some ride We were
dropped off to an assembly area where we noticed a group men letting
the air out of tires on several jeeps The intent To give more traction in
the sand The vehicles were chauffeured by drivers from Pakistan (who
had been trained to terrify tourists I am sure) So we innocently piled
into the jeeps that held 5 plus the driver In no time we were charging
up and down the dunes and being tossed left and right in our seats
(no seats belts) We would climb to the top of a high dune not knowing
if we would make it only to speed down the other side Sand flew
everywhere and the driver had to use the windshield wipers at times
The whole hair raising event lasted for about 15 minutes until we finally
reached our destination It was a Bedouin Encampment Now this was
more like it They served us cold beer some interesting foods lots of
dates and even offered camel rides We were then seated on pillows
surrounding a large square canvas ldquofloorrdquo on the sand A belly dancer
appeared and we were treated to a fascinating display Having just
witnessed a spectacular desert sunset we were all wondering about the
ride back in the dark All the driver could say was ldquoDifferent way
different wayrdquo Could that be worse or what As it turned out we were
close to a long fence and a straight path on smooth sand with no dunes
It was truly a wild ride but we wouldnt have wanted to miss it
The Heritage Village
This village provides a glimpse of Dubairsquos traditional culture and lifestyle
prior to the sixties Typical living quarters have been set up including the
rugs and cushion furnishings The venue offers various artisans
opportunity to display their work Local foods can be sampled also
We tried Shawarma a medley of various meats grilled together on a
vertical spit It was served on a pita or flatbread Condiments such as
hummus or amba (mango pickle) were then added Delicious
Nearby we spied a Falcon chained and tethered His handler watched
us warily Falconry is the sport of hunting wild game using trained birds
of prey It is very popular in the UAE Dubai even houses the Falcon
Heritage and Sports Centre Here there is a Veterinary Clinic and a
Souk where you can buy the latest accessories for your feathered
friend Tours are available for you where you actually go out hunting
with Falconers and try your luck Next time perhaps

Camel Farm Visit
It was quite a site with dozens of camels of all ages and sizes in
compounds Here we the tourists could lean over and feed them
green shrubbery There are two types of camels These were
dromedary an Arabian type with one hump (The Asian camel
has two) The camel still has an important role in UAE society
with many Bedouin families owning camels that provide milk
and are sacrificed during festivals Camel skin is used locally
to make shoes bags and water containers The wool which is
considered high quality is commonly used for tent and rug
making besides being fashioned into clothing
Camel Racing
Now a days the camel is essentially used for racing that is held
annually during the winter months The camels were once
ridden by child jockeys but allegations of human rights abuses
have led to nationwide bans on underage labour in the UAE and
Qatar Hence robotic jockeys They are about 1 foot high and
mounted on the back of the animalrsquos hump They are controlled
by trainers who are being driven in 4 x 4rsquos alongside the track
The trainers press the whip button as needed
Camels can run at speeds of up to 65 kmh (40 mph) in short
sprints and they can maintain a speed of 40 kmh (25 mph) for
an hour Oh yes betting takes place of course
Racing Camels Controlled by Robots
This has been only a brief glimpse of
Dubai If you plan to visit there are
many more remarkable sights including
the Dubai Mall with an indoor ski hill
the magnificent Jumeirah Golf Estates
the Dubai Fountain and lovely beaches
I would recommend a three day stay at
least Also plan to include a side trip to
the capital of the Emeritus Abu Dhabi

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue

Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H

to get through such issues Ideas

From the Tab ManhellipFrank Leys
We just cleaned out the shop of the winter collection of pop cans
Paradise Village donated $19740 to the wheelchair program
Please see the article from the Holy Cross School on page 36hellip
We could do better if the residents would separate the tabs from the
cans as they are 10c more per lb than the cans
We still collect all Campbells food labels from soup and vegetables
They must be Campbellrsquos products
Drop them off along with your tabs and cans
Please place your tabs and cans and labels into a bin provided
at the back of 7 Nature Drive 204-422-8273
We only recycle aluminum drink cans (pop and beer) and beer bottles

Visiting
helliphelliphelliphellipPart 2
A wild jeep ride through the dunes
Bedouins offered fresh dates
Falconer with his bird
The Desert and the Jeep Ride
You dont have to travel far out of the city to see miles and miles of
sand dunes and desert waste land We took a tour bus out to a staging
area for a jeep ride over the dunes Well it was some ride We were
dropped off to an assembly area where we noticed a group men letting
the air out of tires on several jeeps The intent To give more traction in
the sand The vehicles were chauffeured by drivers from Pakistan (who
had been trained to terrify tourists I am sure) So we innocently piled
into the jeeps that held 5 plus the driver In no time we were charging
up and down the dunes and being tossed left and right in our seats
(no seats belts) We would climb to the top of a high dune not knowing
if we would make it only to speed down the other side Sand flew
everywhere and the driver had to use the windshield wipers at times
The whole hair raising event lasted for about 15 minutes until we finally
reached our destination It was a Bedouin Encampment Now this was
more like it They served us cold beer some interesting foods lots of
dates and even offered camel rides We were then seated on pillows
surrounding a large square canvas ldquofloorrdquo on the sand A belly dancer
appeared and we were treated to a fascinating display Having just
witnessed a spectacular desert sunset we were all wondering about the
ride back in the dark All the driver could say was ldquoDifferent way
different wayrdquo Could that be worse or what As it turned out we were
close to a long fence and a straight path on smooth sand with no dunes
It was truly a wild ride but we wouldnt have wanted to miss it
The Heritage Village
This village provides a glimpse of Dubairsquos traditional culture and lifestyle
prior to the sixties Typical living quarters have been set up including the
rugs and cushion furnishings The venue offers various artisans
opportunity to display their work Local foods can be sampled also
We tried Shawarma a medley of various meats grilled together on a
vertical spit It was served on a pita or flatbread Condiments such as
hummus or amba (mango pickle) were then added Delicious
Nearby we spied a Falcon chained and tethered His handler watched
us warily Falconry is the sport of hunting wild game using trained birds
of prey It is very popular in the UAE Dubai even houses the Falcon
Heritage and Sports Centre Here there is a Veterinary Clinic and a
Souk where you can buy the latest accessories for your feathered
friend Tours are available for you where you actually go out hunting
with Falconers and try your luck Next time perhaps

Camel Farm Visit
It was quite a site with dozens of camels of all ages and sizes in
compounds Here we the tourists could lean over and feed them
green shrubbery There are two types of camels These were
dromedary an Arabian type with one hump (The Asian camel
has two) The camel still has an important role in UAE society
with many Bedouin families owning camels that provide milk
and are sacrificed during festivals Camel skin is used locally
to make shoes bags and water containers The wool which is
considered high quality is commonly used for tent and rug
making besides being fashioned into clothing
Camel Racing
Now a days the camel is essentially used for racing that is held
annually during the winter months The camels were once
ridden by child jockeys but allegations of human rights abuses
have led to nationwide bans on underage labour in the UAE and
Qatar Hence robotic jockeys They are about 1 foot high and
mounted on the back of the animalrsquos hump They are controlled
by trainers who are being driven in 4 x 4rsquos alongside the track
The trainers press the whip button as needed
Camels can run at speeds of up to 65 kmh (40 mph) in short
sprints and they can maintain a speed of 40 kmh (25 mph) for
an hour Oh yes betting takes place of course
Racing Camels Controlled by Robots
This has been only a brief glimpse of
Dubai If you plan to visit there are
many more remarkable sights including
the Dubai Mall with an indoor ski hill
the magnificent Jumeirah Golf Estates
the Dubai Fountain and lovely beaches
I would recommend a three day stay at
least Also plan to include a side trip to
the capital of the Emeritus Abu Dhabi

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue

Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H

From the Tab ManhellipFrank Leys
We just cleaned out the shop of the winter collection of pop cans
Paradise Village donated $19740 to the wheelchair program
Please see the article from the Holy Cross School on page 36hellip
We could do better if the residents would separate the tabs from the
cans as they are 10c more per lb than the cans
We still collect all Campbells food labels from soup and vegetables
They must be Campbellrsquos products
Drop them off along with your tabs and cans
Please place your tabs and cans and labels into a bin provided
at the back of 7 Nature Drive 204-422-8273
We only recycle aluminum drink cans (pop and beer) and beer bottles

Visiting
helliphelliphelliphellipPart 2
A wild jeep ride through the dunes
Bedouins offered fresh dates
Falconer with his bird
The Desert and the Jeep Ride
You dont have to travel far out of the city to see miles and miles of
sand dunes and desert waste land We took a tour bus out to a staging
area for a jeep ride over the dunes Well it was some ride We were
dropped off to an assembly area where we noticed a group men letting
the air out of tires on several jeeps The intent To give more traction in
the sand The vehicles were chauffeured by drivers from Pakistan (who
had been trained to terrify tourists I am sure) So we innocently piled
into the jeeps that held 5 plus the driver In no time we were charging
up and down the dunes and being tossed left and right in our seats
(no seats belts) We would climb to the top of a high dune not knowing
if we would make it only to speed down the other side Sand flew
everywhere and the driver had to use the windshield wipers at times
The whole hair raising event lasted for about 15 minutes until we finally
reached our destination It was a Bedouin Encampment Now this was
more like it They served us cold beer some interesting foods lots of
dates and even offered camel rides We were then seated on pillows
surrounding a large square canvas ldquofloorrdquo on the sand A belly dancer
appeared and we were treated to a fascinating display Having just
witnessed a spectacular desert sunset we were all wondering about the
ride back in the dark All the driver could say was ldquoDifferent way
different wayrdquo Could that be worse or what As it turned out we were
close to a long fence and a straight path on smooth sand with no dunes
It was truly a wild ride but we wouldnt have wanted to miss it
The Heritage Village
This village provides a glimpse of Dubairsquos traditional culture and lifestyle
prior to the sixties Typical living quarters have been set up including the
rugs and cushion furnishings The venue offers various artisans
opportunity to display their work Local foods can be sampled also
We tried Shawarma a medley of various meats grilled together on a
vertical spit It was served on a pita or flatbread Condiments such as
hummus or amba (mango pickle) were then added Delicious
Nearby we spied a Falcon chained and tethered His handler watched
us warily Falconry is the sport of hunting wild game using trained birds
of prey It is very popular in the UAE Dubai even houses the Falcon
Heritage and Sports Centre Here there is a Veterinary Clinic and a
Souk where you can buy the latest accessories for your feathered
friend Tours are available for you where you actually go out hunting
with Falconers and try your luck Next time perhaps

Camel Farm Visit
It was quite a site with dozens of camels of all ages and sizes in
compounds Here we the tourists could lean over and feed them
green shrubbery There are two types of camels These were
dromedary an Arabian type with one hump (The Asian camel
has two) The camel still has an important role in UAE society
with many Bedouin families owning camels that provide milk
and are sacrificed during festivals Camel skin is used locally
to make shoes bags and water containers The wool which is
considered high quality is commonly used for tent and rug
making besides being fashioned into clothing
Camel Racing
Now a days the camel is essentially used for racing that is held
annually during the winter months The camels were once
ridden by child jockeys but allegations of human rights abuses
have led to nationwide bans on underage labour in the UAE and
Qatar Hence robotic jockeys They are about 1 foot high and
mounted on the back of the animalrsquos hump They are controlled
by trainers who are being driven in 4 x 4rsquos alongside the track
The trainers press the whip button as needed
Camels can run at speeds of up to 65 kmh (40 mph) in short
sprints and they can maintain a speed of 40 kmh (25 mph) for
an hour Oh yes betting takes place of course
Racing Camels Controlled by Robots
This has been only a brief glimpse of
Dubai If you plan to visit there are
many more remarkable sights including
the Dubai Mall with an indoor ski hill
the magnificent Jumeirah Golf Estates
the Dubai Fountain and lovely beaches
I would recommend a three day stay at
least Also plan to include a side trip to
the capital of the Emeritus Abu Dhabi

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue

Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H

to get through such issues Ideas

helliphelliphelliphellipPart 2
A wild jeep ride through the dunes
Bedouins offered fresh dates
Falconer with his bird
The Desert and the Jeep Ride
You dont have to travel far out of the city to see miles and miles of
sand dunes and desert waste land We took a tour bus out to a staging
area for a jeep ride over the dunes Well it was some ride We were
dropped off to an assembly area where we noticed a group men letting
the air out of tires on several jeeps The intent To give more traction in
the sand The vehicles were chauffeured by drivers from Pakistan (who
had been trained to terrify tourists I am sure) So we innocently piled
into the jeeps that held 5 plus the driver In no time we were charging
up and down the dunes and being tossed left and right in our seats
(no seats belts) We would climb to the top of a high dune not knowing
if we would make it only to speed down the other side Sand flew
everywhere and the driver had to use the windshield wipers at times
The whole hair raising event lasted for about 15 minutes until we finally
reached our destination It was a Bedouin Encampment Now this was
more like it They served us cold beer some interesting foods lots of
dates and even offered camel rides We were then seated on pillows
surrounding a large square canvas ldquofloorrdquo on the sand A belly dancer
appeared and we were treated to a fascinating display Having just
witnessed a spectacular desert sunset we were all wondering about the
ride back in the dark All the driver could say was ldquoDifferent way
different wayrdquo Could that be worse or what As it turned out we were
close to a long fence and a straight path on smooth sand with no dunes
It was truly a wild ride but we wouldnt have wanted to miss it
The Heritage Village
This village provides a glimpse of Dubairsquos traditional culture and lifestyle
prior to the sixties Typical living quarters have been set up including the
rugs and cushion furnishings The venue offers various artisans
opportunity to display their work Local foods can be sampled also
We tried Shawarma a medley of various meats grilled together on a
vertical spit It was served on a pita or flatbread Condiments such as
hummus or amba (mango pickle) were then added Delicious
Nearby we spied a Falcon chained and tethered His handler watched
us warily Falconry is the sport of hunting wild game using trained birds
of prey It is very popular in the UAE Dubai even houses the Falcon
Heritage and Sports Centre Here there is a Veterinary Clinic and a
Souk where you can buy the latest accessories for your feathered
friend Tours are available for you where you actually go out hunting
with Falconers and try your luck Next time perhaps

Camel Farm Visit
It was quite a site with dozens of camels of all ages and sizes in
compounds Here we the tourists could lean over and feed them
green shrubbery There are two types of camels These were
dromedary an Arabian type with one hump (The Asian camel
has two) The camel still has an important role in UAE society
with many Bedouin families owning camels that provide milk
and are sacrificed during festivals Camel skin is used locally
to make shoes bags and water containers The wool which is
considered high quality is commonly used for tent and rug
making besides being fashioned into clothing
Camel Racing
Now a days the camel is essentially used for racing that is held
annually during the winter months The camels were once
ridden by child jockeys but allegations of human rights abuses
have led to nationwide bans on underage labour in the UAE and
Qatar Hence robotic jockeys They are about 1 foot high and
mounted on the back of the animalrsquos hump They are controlled
by trainers who are being driven in 4 x 4rsquos alongside the track
The trainers press the whip button as needed
Camels can run at speeds of up to 65 kmh (40 mph) in short
sprints and they can maintain a speed of 40 kmh (25 mph) for
an hour Oh yes betting takes place of course
Racing Camels Controlled by Robots
This has been only a brief glimpse of
Dubai If you plan to visit there are
many more remarkable sights including
the Dubai Mall with an indoor ski hill
the magnificent Jumeirah Golf Estates
the Dubai Fountain and lovely beaches
I would recommend a three day stay at
least Also plan to include a side trip to
the capital of the Emeritus Abu Dhabi

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue
Submitted by Barb Prior
Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

Paradise Village
Christian
Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer
Everyone is welcome Coffee and Fellowship following the Service
We will continue to have Church Services in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

A wild jeep ride through the dunes
Bedouins offered fresh dates
Falconer with his bird
The Desert and the Jeep Ride
You dont have to travel far out of the city to see miles and miles of
sand dunes and desert waste land We took a tour bus out to a staging
area for a jeep ride over the dunes Well it was some ride We were
dropped off to an assembly area where we noticed a group men letting
the air out of tires on several jeeps The intent To give more traction in
the sand The vehicles were chauffeured by drivers from Pakistan (who
had been trained to terrify tourists I am sure) So we innocently piled
into the jeeps that held 5 plus the driver In no time we were charging
up and down the dunes and being tossed left and right in our seats
(no seats belts) We would climb to the top of a high dune not knowing
if we would make it only to speed down the other side Sand flew
everywhere and the driver had to use the windshield wipers at times
The whole hair raising event lasted for about 15 minutes until we finally
reached our destination It was a Bedouin Encampment Now this was
more like it They served us cold beer some interesting foods lots of
dates and even offered camel rides We were then seated on pillows
surrounding a large square canvas ldquofloorrdquo on the sand A belly dancer
appeared and we were treated to a fascinating display Having just
witnessed a spectacular desert sunset we were all wondering about the
ride back in the dark All the driver could say was ldquoDifferent way
different wayrdquo Could that be worse or what As it turned out we were
close to a long fence and a straight path on smooth sand with no dunes
It was truly a wild ride but we wouldnt have wanted to miss it
The Heritage Village
This village provides a glimpse of Dubairsquos traditional culture and lifestyle
prior to the sixties Typical living quarters have been set up including the
rugs and cushion furnishings The venue offers various artisans
opportunity to display their work Local foods can be sampled also
We tried Shawarma a medley of various meats grilled together on a
vertical spit It was served on a pita or flatbread Condiments such as
hummus or amba (mango pickle) were then added Delicious
Nearby we spied a Falcon chained and tethered His handler watched
us warily Falconry is the sport of hunting wild game using trained birds
of prey It is very popular in the UAE Dubai even houses the Falcon
Heritage and Sports Centre Here there is a Veterinary Clinic and a
Souk where you can buy the latest accessories for your feathered
friend Tours are available for you where you actually go out hunting
with Falconers and try your luck Next time perhaps

Camel Farm Visit
It was quite a site with dozens of camels of all ages and sizes in
compounds Here we the tourists could lean over and feed them
green shrubbery There are two types of camels These were
dromedary an Arabian type with one hump (The Asian camel
has two) The camel still has an important role in UAE society
with many Bedouin families owning camels that provide milk
and are sacrificed during festivals Camel skin is used locally
to make shoes bags and water containers The wool which is
considered high quality is commonly used for tent and rug
making besides being fashioned into clothing
Camel Racing
Now a days the camel is essentially used for racing that is held
annually during the winter months The camels were once
ridden by child jockeys but allegations of human rights abuses
have led to nationwide bans on underage labour in the UAE and
Qatar Hence robotic jockeys They are about 1 foot high and
mounted on the back of the animalrsquos hump They are controlled
by trainers who are being driven in 4 x 4rsquos alongside the track
The trainers press the whip button as needed
Camels can run at speeds of up to 65 kmh (40 mph) in short
sprints and they can maintain a speed of 40 kmh (25 mph) for
an hour Oh yes betting takes place of course
Racing Camels Controlled by Robots
This has been only a brief glimpse of
Dubai If you plan to visit there are
many more remarkable sights including
the Dubai Mall with an indoor ski hill
the magnificent Jumeirah Golf Estates
the Dubai Fountain and lovely beaches
I would recommend a three day stay at
least Also plan to include a side trip to
the capital of the Emeritus Abu Dhabi

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue
Submitted by Barb Prior
Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive
Dear Paradise Village Residents

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

questionnaire about Canadarsquos provinces When asked if there was a prize for the winner Rod

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

the bill
He replied in a raspy voice ldquono Health Insurancerdquo
The Nun asked if he had money in the bank
ldquoNo money in the bankldquo He replied
The Nun asked ldquoDo you have a relative who could help yourdquo
ldquoJust a spinster sister who is a Nunrdquo He said
The Nun slightly perturbed
said ldquoNuns are not spinsters

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

It was quite a site with dozens of camels of all ages and sizes in
compounds Here we the tourists could lean over and feed them
green shrubbery There are two types of camels These were
dromedary an Arabian type with one hump (The Asian camel
has two) The camel still has an important role in UAE society
with many Bedouin families owning camels that provide milk
and are sacrificed during festivals Camel skin is used locally
to make shoes bags and water containers The wool which is
considered high quality is commonly used for tent and rug
making besides being fashioned into clothing
Camel Racing
Now a days the camel is essentially used for racing that is held
annually during the winter months The camels were once
ridden by child jockeys but allegations of human rights abuses
have led to nationwide bans on underage labour in the UAE and
Qatar Hence robotic jockeys They are about 1 foot high and
mounted on the back of the animalrsquos hump They are controlled
by trainers who are being driven in 4 x 4rsquos alongside the track
The trainers press the whip button as needed
Camels can run at speeds of up to 65 kmh (40 mph) in short
sprints and they can maintain a speed of 40 kmh (25 mph) for
an hour Oh yes betting takes place of course
Racing Camels Controlled by Robots
This has been only a brief glimpse of
Dubai If you plan to visit there are
many more remarkable sights including
the Dubai Mall with an indoor ski hill
the magnificent Jumeirah Golf Estates
the Dubai Fountain and lovely beaches
I would recommend a three day stay at
least Also plan to include a side trip to
the capital of the Emeritus Abu Dhabi

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue
Submitted by Barb Prior
Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

A man suffered a serious heart attack and had by-pass surgery
He awakened to find himself in the care of Nuns at a Catholic
Hospital
As he was recovering a Nun asked how he was going to pay
the bill
He replied in a raspy voice ldquono Health Insurancerdquo
The Nun asked if he had money in the bank
ldquoNo money in the bankldquo He replied
The Nun asked ldquoDo you have a relative who could help yourdquo
ldquoJust a spinster sister who is a Nunrdquo He said
The Nun slightly perturbed
said ldquoNuns are not spinsters
Nuns are married to Godrdquo
ldquoThen send the bill to my
brother-in-lawrdquo He replied

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue
Submitted by Barb Prior
Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive
Dear Paradise Village Residents

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it

By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

A man suffered a serious heart attack and had by-pass surgery
He awakened to find himself in the care of Nuns at a Catholic
Hospital
As he was recovering a Nun asked how he was going to pay
the bill
He replied in a raspy voice ldquono Health Insurancerdquo
The Nun asked if he had money in the bank
ldquoNo money in the bankldquo He replied
The Nun asked ldquoDo you have a relative who could help yourdquo
ldquoJust a spinster sister who is a Nunrdquo He said

Dear Friends and Supporters of TABS FOR WHEELCHAIRS
Itrsquos that time of year again when we will have the opportunity to present a specialized wheelchair to an individual because of your dedication and loyalty to the Tabs for
Wheelchairs program This yearrsquos recipient is Bryce Thiessen
This program has been in existence since 1998 and this year we are presenting our 16th
wheelchair Thank you so much for your continued support It is because of each and every one of you that this program has been so successful and we are truly very grateful
As always a big thank you has to go to Dave from St Boniface Bag who continues to supply us with our bags free of charge and to Reimer Express Lines Ltd for transporting our tabs whenever needed
For all those who are interested Western Scrap Metal Inc (the company where we recycle our tabs) is continuing to provide an additional way to donate to the Tabs for Wheelchairs program You can bring your cans or any kind of metal that you want to
dispose of (even extremely large objects) and they will credit our account Please donrsquot forget to mention it is for Holy Cross School (Tabs for Wheelchairs program) If we have more people doing this we will once again be able to present two wheelchairs at one of our presentations much faster Last year we received $113715 from people contributing this way Western Scrap is located at 18 Sutherland Ave Thank you so much Western Scrap for all that you do for us It is truly appreciated Wesman Salvage in Brandon is doing the same thing and they have given us sizeable cheques over the last few years Thank you Wesman Salvage
For anyone interested in making a monetary donation Holy Cross will send you an Income Tax receipt
We are hoping that CTV News (Channel 5) will be with us again at our presentation Be sure to watch the 600 pm broadcast on May 21
st
In closing we would like to thank you again for saving tabs
Our presentation of Brycersquos specialized wheelchair as well as meeting next yearrsquos recipient Jessica will be on Thursday May 21 2015 at 100 pm in the Holy Cross

TABS FOR WHEELCHAIRS JESSICA ndash 2015
Jessica is 18 years old and will be a Grade 12 graduate this year from Garden Valley Collegiate in Winkler She was born with Spina Bifida and has spinal nerve damage to her lower spine and has been in a wheelchair all her life
Jessica loves photography enjoys using her iPad and watching moviesTV series
Her wishes for the future are to become more independent and one day live on her own To do this she would need a specialized wheelchair with the capability of being elevated in order for her to work in the kitchen and give her greater mobility

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Retrievers) along with
their owners and others

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue

Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria

They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive
Dear Paradise Village Residents

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue
Submitted by Barb Prior
Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

The Nun asked if he had money in the bank
ldquoNo money in the bankldquo He replied

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue
Submitted by Barb Prior
Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive
Dear Paradise Village Residents

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

A man suffered a serious heart attack and had by-pass surgery
He awakened to find himself in the care of Nuns at a Catholic
Hospital
As he was recovering a Nun asked how he was going to pay
the bill
He replied in a raspy voice ldquono Health Insurancerdquo
The Nun asked if he had money in the bank
ldquoNo money in the bankldquo He replied
The Nun asked ldquoDo you have a relative who could help yourdquo
ldquoJust a spinster sister who is a Nunrdquo He said
The Nun slightly perturbed
said ldquoNuns are not spinsters
Nuns are married to Godrdquo
ldquoThen send the bill to my
brother-in-lawrdquo He replied

Dear Friends and Supporters of TABS FOR WHEELCHAIRS
Itrsquos that time of year again when we will have the opportunity to present a specialized wheelchair to an individual because of your dedication and loyalty to the Tabs for
Wheelchairs program This yearrsquos recipient is Bryce Thiessen
This program has been in existence since 1998 and this year we are presenting our 16th
wheelchair Thank you so much for your continued support It is because of each and every one of you that this program has been so successful and we are truly very grateful
As always a big thank you has to go to Dave from St Boniface Bag who continues to supply us with our bags free of charge and to Reimer Express Lines Ltd for transporting our tabs whenever needed
For all those who are interested Western Scrap Metal Inc (the company where we recycle our tabs) is continuing to provide an additional way to donate to the Tabs for Wheelchairs program You can bring your cans or any kind of metal that you want to

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue
Submitted by Barb Prior
Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Retrievers) along with
their owners and others

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue
Submitted by Barb Prior
Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive
Dear Paradise Village Residents

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

The Golden Retrievers kindly expression says it all This is one of the finest family dogs in the world cheerful demonstrative trustworthy with everyone and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners
Give this breed two brisk walks each day play fetch games and take him out for a good run once a week and he is adaptable to almost any lifestyle
Friendly with everyone (strangers children dogs cats smaller pets) his bark is welcoming rather than protective
You must control his tendency to chew on objects and to mouth your hands -- provide a box filled with toys so he can carry things around in his mouth
A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners
Eager to please and wonderfully responsive he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds so you must be both patient and persistent
The mind and heart of a Golden Retriever is sweet and gentle but his body is robust -- until hes taught not to pull on the leash youll need good biceps to walk him

Retrievers) along with

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue
Submitted by Barb Prior
Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

As he was recovering a Nun asked how he was going to pay
the bill
He replied in a raspy voice ldquono Health Insurancerdquo
The Nun asked if he had money in the bank
ldquoNo money in the bankldquo He replied
The Nun asked ldquoDo you have a relative who could help yourdquo
ldquoJust a spinster sister who is a Nunrdquo He said

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue
Submitted by Barb Prior
Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive
Dear Paradise Village Residents

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

Bacterial and viral infections have
many things in common Both are
microbes that can cause mild moderate
or severe diseases Both are spread in
the same ways
Airborne - coughing and sneezing
Contaminated surfaces - hands
doorknobs playing cards cutting
boards etc
Contaminated food or water
Contact with contaminated bodily
fluids such as blood saliva and semen
Acute infections are short lived lasting from 24hrs to one week Chronic infections can last for weeks
months or a lifetime Latent infections do not show symptoms at first but reactivate months or years later
Symptoms of both bacteria and viruses include coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever and
inflammation These symptoms are the immune systems attempts to rid the body of the infectious organism
Where bacterial and viral infections differ are in their structure and response to medication
Bacteria are capable of multiplying by their selves and exist everywhere inside and outside our bodies Most
are completely harmless and some are beneficial such as bacteria in our digestive system which helps to
digest food and provide essential nutrients Bacteria also helps to fight cancer cells and destroys disease
carrying microbes
Less than 1 of bacteria cause diseases in people Problems occur when it invades the wrong place in our
bodies Fossilized records show that bacteria has existed for about 35 Billion years It survives extreme heat
and cold and even has been found in radioactive waste
Examples of bacterial diseases include Staphylococcus aureus which causes boils abscesses wound
infections and pneumonia Streptococcal bacteria causes strep throatear infections meningitis pneumonia
and flesh-eating disease Food poisoning gastritis and ulcers Life threatening diseases such as blood
poisoning kidney failure and toxic shock syndrome
Viruses cant multiply on their own so they invade a host cell and takes over its functioning in order to
produce more viral particles Respiratory passages are particularly open to viral attacks because they lack
the protection of skin coverage Unlike bacteria most viruses do cause disease and are quite specific about
which cells they attack
Diagnosis If you suspect you have a bacterial or viral infection except the common cold you should
consult your doctor Some infections such as pneumonia meningitis and diarrhea can be either bacterial or
viral and require physical examination blood tests or culture of affected tissue
Submitted by Barb Prior
Who KnewhelliphellipHome Remedies
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil Let the mixture sit
for 30 minutes then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles
Sore throat Just mix 14 cup of vinegar with 14 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day
The vinegar kills the bacteria
19
P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive
Dear Paradise Village Residents

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

A man suffered a serious heart attack and had by-pass surgery
He awakened to find himself in the care of Nuns at a Catholic
Hospital
As he was recovering a Nun asked how he was going to pay
the bill
He replied in a raspy voice ldquono Health Insurancerdquo
The Nun asked if he had money in the bank
ldquoNo money in the bankldquo He replied
The Nun asked ldquoDo you have a relative who could help yourdquo
ldquoJust a spinster sister who is a Nunrdquo He said
The Nun slightly perturbed
said ldquoNuns are not spinsters
Nuns are married to Godrdquo
ldquoThen send the bill to my
brother-in-lawrdquo He replied

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

They will also attack the good bacteria in the body
Examples of viral infections include measles mumps chicken pox influenza common colds gastritis
rabies hepatitis A ampC smallpox HIVAIDS and Ebola
Treatment The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has been one of the most
important breakthroughs in medical history Unfortunately bacteria are very adaptable and the overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning supplies has made many of the bacteria resistant to antibiotics
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and should not be used unless there is clear evidence of bacterial
infection Since the beginning of the 20th century vaccines have been developed and used to drastically
reduce the number of new cases of viral diseases such as polio measles mumps and smallpox to name a
few
Vaccines are available yearly for seasonal influenza protection
Prevention Most viruses remain alive for about 1hr either as airborne particles or on hard surfaces Wash
your hands regularly and immediately after handling potentially contaminated objects or commonly shared
items such as doorknobs shopping carts or playing cards Hand washing should be with soap and warm
water over 15-20 seconds about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday If you think your hands may be
contaminated avoid shaking hands or touching your face Food should be cooked or cooled down as quickly
as possible after purchase Meats and vegetables need to be stored and prepared separately Contaminated
food doesnt necessarily smell bad IF IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT
Knowing the differences between bacterial and viral infections may help you to decide when to see a doctor
Location Bacteria are usually site specific such as sinuses throat or chest
Viral illnesses cause widespread symptoms Phlegm Bacteria typically cause
coloured phlegm - green yellow bloody or brown tinged
Virus produce clear to cloudy mucous if any
Duration Bacterial infections usually last longer than 10 days
Viral infections usually last 2-10 days
Fever Viral infections may or may not cause fever
Bacterial infections are notoriously known to cause fever

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H

to get through such issues Ideas

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive
Dear Paradise Village Residents

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

May 2015
Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive
Dear Paradise Village Residents

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

A man suffered a serious heart attack and had by-pass surgery
He awakened to find himself in the care of Nuns at a Catholic
Hospital
As he was recovering a Nun asked how he was going to pay
the bill
He replied in a raspy voice ldquono Health Insurancerdquo
The Nun asked if he had money in the bank
ldquoNo money in the bankldquo He replied
The Nun asked ldquoDo you have a relative who could help yourdquo
ldquoJust a spinster sister who is a Nunrdquo He said
The Nun slightly perturbed
said ldquoNuns are not spinsters
Nuns are married to Godrdquo
ldquoThen send the bill to my
brother-in-lawrdquo He replied

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about your lawn I am sure most of you have heard
about the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban that is in place for all of Manitoba Please give me a few minutes to
explain how this will affect and change your lawn care decisions and give you some information on
achieving and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn
What the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban means is no more ldquochemicalrdquo weed control It will no longer be
available at the stores to buy and lawn care companies are no longer able to use it It is a new culture
of lawn care and I will give you some solutions to help achieve that beautiful lush lawn the proper way
without chemicals
The one major misconception about your lawn is watering You might see in some of the marketing
material you get saying ldquono watering requiredrdquo or ldquono watering in requiredrdquo If you call that company about
this they will tell you that Mother Nature will provide it for you If Mother Nature provides you with 1-2 inches
of water 3 times per week I would agree but that never happens And ldquono watering in requiredrdquo means that
the fertilizer will not burn your lawn after the application so you do not have to water it in You still need to
water your lawn If it waters one day 2 to 3 inches that is just water for that day Our sun dries out our
gumbo clay very quick and if you keep it dry you are giving lawn killing insects and weeds a great habitat
to grow You might get plenty of water from Mother Nature in the spring but that has to continue during the
hottest part of the summer Your lawn is just like your flowers it needs proper watering to survive and
thrive
Next is cutting your lawn Everybody wants that golf green lawn It is almost impossible to achieve it
on a residential lawn Thousands of dollars are spent on the golf course to achieve that look and it is a
different type of grass than that on your residential lawn The best practice for your lawn it to keep it longer
(3 12rdquo) and give it a mulch cut every five days I know it is a pain to get the grass cut and that is the biggest
problem People cut the grass to short so they are able to cut it only once a week The healthier and thicker
the lawn the shorter you could cut it A quick mulch cut every 5 days will greatly reduce the cutting time by
half Cutting a 14rdquo of the grass blade off opposed to half of the grass blade will help the lawn thrive by not
shocking it Cutting to much off shocks the lawn and you will see it turn brown and sometimes die
Next is an Aeration and introducing new grass to your lawn Our gumbo clay compacts every winter
You must help the grass roots by aerating your lawn This makes the roots go deeper for the water which in
turn makes the grass blade stronger Longer the root of the grass the stronger it is and the less stress and
winter kill you will have After the aeration it is a great time to introduce new seed to your lawn The holes
and cores from the aeration improves the germination rate by giving more soil to seed contact New grass
will not grow in heavily compacted soil If it does it will be week and will not survive the winter or the
extreme heat of the summer These services will help thicken your lawn they will help choke out pesky
weeds and will help keep away those lawn killing insects Aeration is one of the most important cultural
practices for your lawn due to our gumbo clay and weather
Another misconception is adding regular top soil to your lawn If you ad regular topsoil to your
compacted lawn you are just adding to the problem Regular topsoil does not do anything to the current
gumbo clay soil which loses its nutrients in about 10 years Regular topsoil also introduces new weeds to
your lawn What you need is something like our Organics Plus Topdressing which rejuvenates old tired
soil and it is weed free Please go to nutrilawncom for details Regular topsoil might add soil to seed
contact for new seed but if the lawn is compacted and the current soil is tired the new seed will not survive
Dear Paradise Village Residents

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

He awakened to find himself in the care of Nuns at a Catholic
Hospital
As he was recovering a Nun asked how he was going to pay
the bill
He replied in a raspy voice ldquono Health Insurancerdquo
The Nun asked if he had money in the bank
ldquoNo money in the bankldquo He replied
The Nun asked ldquoDo you have a relative who could help yourdquo
ldquoJust a spinster sister who is a Nunrdquo He said
The Nun slightly perturbed
said ldquoNuns are not spinsters
Nuns are married to Godrdquo
ldquoThen send the bill to my

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

Now it is time to fertilizer and start killing those pesky weeds The approved FIESTA weed control is
derived from iron and is a natural product We have been using it in our Organics Program which is now
called our Hybrid Program for 4 years now Fiesta has to be applied differently than the chemical option as
it is more weather sensitive Our 4 years of experience with it keeps the cost down as you will see once you
get the competitors offers We know how it works and how to apply it while other companies are struggling
to figure it out and charge obscene amounts for it When Fiesta is used properly you will get results within
48 hrs opposed to 7 days with the chemical weed control It is safe for you your pets and the whole family
The heartier weeds might take a couple applications but being with us and doing it right usually gets it done
in one We also use the highest grade and most environmentally friendly fertilizer which is Polyon
technology It is a granular application and one application feeds your lawn consistently for up to 60 days
You will not get those quick growth spurts that die off after a week or so then leaves your lawn starving for
a few more weeks until the next application With us your lawn receives a consistent feeding with no
leaching or run off
We at Nutri-lawn ask for the opportunity to earn your business We ask what your expectations are
and put a plan together to achieve those goals Do not give away your business Make people earn it and
we are asking for that opportunity Without you our business is not a business and we treat our customerrsquos
lawn like it is our own We know this is a customer service industry and ask for the opportunity to earn your
trust

Paradise Village
Christian
Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer
Everyone is welcome Coffee and Fellowship following the Service
We will continue to have Church Services in Richer

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

The Nun asked if he had money in the bank
ldquoNo money in the bankldquo He replied
The Nun asked ldquoDo you have a relative who could help yourdquo
ldquoJust a spinster sister who is a Nunrdquo He said

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

Paradise Village
Christian
Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer
Everyone is welcome Coffee and Fellowship following the Service
We will continue to have Church Services in Richer
until the re-opening of our Paradise Village Recreation Center

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

Paradise Village
Christian
Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer
Everyone is welcome Coffee and Fellowship following the Service
We will continue to have Church Services in Richer
until the re-opening of our Paradise Village Recreation Center

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

Paradise Village
Christian
Fellowship Church
The old saying is `Spring has sprung` although as I write this snow still covers
the ground and a `sub-zero wind` still whistles through the trees
But better things ARE coming I`m sure
So it is with our walk with God Yes there are `wintry blasts` at times but we
can know that `Better things are coming` And in fact even in those trying times
God has not forsaken us and His inner peace and joy are still ours
Jesus declares `Surely I will be with you always`
(Matthew 2820)
Spring HAS sprung` And `new life in Christ`is indeed ours to receive and enjoy
ALWAYS
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 AM at the LUD Hall in Richer
Everyone is welcome Coffee and Fellowship following the Service
We will continue to have Church Services in Richer
until the re-opening of our Paradise Village Recreation Center
If anyone has special prayer requests please call the President Heather Burnell or Vice President Dennis Hall

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

WHO IS FRANK LEYS
Retired people will occasionally say that they are busier than ever Frank Leys will certainly attest to that A list of what Frank does NOT do would probably be shorter than a list of what he does
He combines a willingness to help with a wealth of practical knowledge acquired from a varied work background including work on hydro dams and transmission lines and 24 years as an equipment operator and instructor with the City of Winnipeg
Frank along with Laurie Evans lobbied to have Route 39 named Paradise Road and he circulated a petition to have a lane for west-bound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway turning left onto Paradise Road Construction will happen this year
We have wonderful hiking trails in the forest south of the village Frank is constantly monitoring the trail conditions and organizes the annual fall trail-grooming session Trails have been added and they now total well over 5 kms He built a new bridge at the Wounded Knee Overpass One resident was so impressed he renamed it the Bridge Over the River Leys
Frank looks after the fire pit and organizes wiener roasts throughout the year
Frank has recently taken over the collection of tabs and drink cans for the wheelchair program Crushing the cans in the workshop is an almost daily activity
Another activity in the workshop is woodcarving taught by (you guessed it) Frank He is also a member of the shop committee
Franks wife Doreen coordinates the CancerCare drivers Frank is a volunteer driver He also helps Doreen at the annual CancerCare daffodil sale in Steinbach
Frank is the newsletter distributor bowls with the Paradise Village league helps people with computer or minor plumbing problems installs door locks realigns satellite dishes house sits for several snowbirds organizes breakfast and lunches out of the village and finds time to walk his dog 3 times a day
A few days ago Frank complained to me that he couldnt do anything because of the cold and snow Take a break Frank You deserve it
Submitted by Larry Menec
By the way Frank
wishes to thank all of
the volunteer carriers
who devoted his or
her time to deliver
the newsletters over
the winter
I would like to add that if you are looking for
some unique carvings Frank Leys is the man
to see He creates Wind Wizards and they
are worth purchasing for your green space and
home He also has several decoupage and
framed photographs of the flora and fauna of
our beautiful Paradise Village for sale Debbie

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

A man suffered a serious heart attack and had by-pass surgery
He awakened to find himself in the care of Nuns at a Catholic
Hospital
As he was recovering a Nun asked how he was going to pay
the bill
He replied in a raspy voice ldquono Health Insurancerdquo
The Nun asked if he had money in the bank
ldquoNo money in the bankldquo He replied
The Nun asked ldquoDo you have a relative who could help yourdquo
ldquoJust a spinster sister who is a Nunrdquo He said
The Nun slightly perturbed
said ldquoNuns are not spinsters
Nuns are married to Godrdquo
ldquoThen send the bill to my
brother-in-lawrdquo He replied

As always a big thank you has to go to Dave from St Boniface Bag who continues to supply us with our bags free of charge and to Reimer Express Lines Ltd for transporting our tabs whenever needed
For all those who are interested Western Scrap Metal Inc (the company where we recycle our tabs) is continuing to provide an additional way to donate to the Tabs for Wheelchairs program You can bring your cans or any kind of metal that you want to
dispose of (even extremely large objects) and they will credit our account Please donrsquot forget to mention it is for Holy Cross School (Tabs for Wheelchairs program) If we have more people doing this we will once again be able to present two wheelchairs at one of our presentations much faster Last year we received $113715 from people contributing this way Western Scrap is located at 18 Sutherland Ave Thank you so much Western Scrap for all that you do for us It is truly appreciated Wesman Salvage in Brandon is doing the same thing and they have given us sizeable cheques over the last few years Thank you Wesman Salvage

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

Submitted by Julian DeGrave
A man suffered a serious heart attack and had by-pass surgery
He awakened to find himself in the care of Nuns at a Catholic
Hospital
As he was recovering a Nun asked how he was going to pay
the bill
He replied in a raspy voice ldquono Health Insurancerdquo
The Nun asked if he had money in the bank
ldquoNo money in the bankldquo He replied
The Nun asked ldquoDo you have a relative who could help yourdquo
ldquoJust a spinster sister who is a Nunrdquo He said
The Nun slightly perturbed
said ldquoNuns are not spinsters
Nuns are married to Godrdquo
ldquoThen send the bill to my
brother-in-lawrdquo He replied

Dear Friends and Supporters of TABS FOR WHEELCHAIRS
Itrsquos that time of year again when we will have the opportunity to present a specialized wheelchair to an individual because of your dedication and loyalty to the Tabs for
Wheelchairs program This yearrsquos recipient is Bryce Thiessen
This program has been in existence since 1998 and this year we are presenting our 16th
wheelchair Thank you so much for your continued support It is because of each and every one of you that this program has been so successful and we are truly very grateful
As always a big thank you has to go to Dave from St Boniface Bag who continues to supply us with our bags free of charge and to Reimer Express Lines Ltd for transporting our tabs whenever needed
For all those who are interested Western Scrap Metal Inc (the company where we recycle our tabs) is continuing to provide an additional way to donate to the Tabs for Wheelchairs program You can bring your cans or any kind of metal that you want to
dispose of (even extremely large objects) and they will credit our account Please donrsquot forget to mention it is for Holy Cross School (Tabs for Wheelchairs program) If we have more people doing this we will once again be able to present two wheelchairs at one of our presentations much faster Last year we received $113715 from people contributing this way Western Scrap is located at 18 Sutherland Ave Thank you so much Western Scrap for all that you do for us It is truly appreciated Wesman Salvage in Brandon is doing the same thing and they have given us sizeable cheques over the last few years Thank you Wesman Salvage
For anyone interested in making a monetary donation Holy Cross will send you an Income Tax receipt
We are hoping that CTV News (Channel 5) will be with us again at our presentation Be sure to watch the 600 pm broadcast on May 21
st
In closing we would like to thank you again for saving tabs
Our presentation of Brycersquos specialized wheelchair as well as meeting next yearrsquos recipient Jessica will be on Thursday May 21 2015 at 100 pm in the Holy Cross
School Gymnasium at 290 Dubuc St Everyone is welcome
Sincerely
Gwen Buccini Alexander Cap

TABS FOR WHEELCHAIRS JESSICA ndash 2015
Jessica is 18 years old and will be a Grade 12 graduate this year from Garden Valley Collegiate in Winkler She was born with Spina Bifida and has spinal nerve damage to her lower spine and has been in a wheelchair all her life
Jessica loves photography enjoys using her iPad and watching moviesTV series
Her wishes for the future are to become more independent and one day live on her own To do this she would need a specialized wheelchair with the capability of being elevated in order for her to work in the kitchen and give her greater mobility

Submitted by Julian DeGrave
A man suffered a serious heart attack and had by-pass surgery
He awakened to find himself in the care of Nuns at a Catholic
Hospital
As he was recovering a Nun asked how he was going to pay
the bill
He replied in a raspy voice ldquono Health Insurancerdquo
The Nun asked if he had money in the bank
ldquoNo money in the bankldquo He replied
The Nun asked ldquoDo you have a relative who could help yourdquo
ldquoJust a spinster sister who is a Nunrdquo He said
The Nun slightly perturbed
said ldquoNuns are not spinsters
Nuns are married to Godrdquo
ldquoThen send the bill to my
brother-in-lawrdquo He replied

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas

In the next issue (June) I would like to
dedicate some space to be used as a forum
for Questions Comments and Suggestions on
various topics relating to living in a mobile home
For example We experienced a freeze up of our
outgoing sewer pipe (4xrsquos) this year and felt
uneducated on how to solve the issue I believe
we have many outstanding residents who have
faced many a problem with living in a mobile home
and could teach the rest of us the four Wrsquos and H
(Where What Why When and How)
to get through such issues Ideas
