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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

to get through such issues Ideas

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

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

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

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

for sale but we wish he would not leave us as he is a perfect host He even challenged us with a

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

knowledgeable about our own country

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

23

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

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

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

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

23

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

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

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

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

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

MENS Breakfast Fellowship 2nd Monday of each month (10 am at various restaurants) rides can be arranged

For details give Dennis a call at 204-422-9870

LADIES Outing and Lunch takes place each month and all ladies are welcome to come for a time of great fellowship at various placesRides can be arranged

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

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

MENS Breakfast Fellowship 2nd Monday of each month (10 am at various restaurants) rides can be arranged

For details give Dennis a call at 204-422-9870

LADIES Outing and Lunch takes place each month and all ladies are welcome to come for a time of great fellowship at various placesRides can be arranged

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

MENS Breakfast Fellowship 2nd Monday of each month (10 am at various restaurants) rides can be arranged

For details give Dennis a call at 204-422-9870

LADIES Outing and Lunch takes place each month and all ladies are welcome to come for a time of great fellowship at various placesRides can be arranged

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

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

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S

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

(Where What Why When and How)

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S

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
