Julian’s Joke of the Month During the celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary the wife noticed a tear in her husband’s eye.

“I never realized how sentimental you are,” she said.

“That’s not it.” He sniffed. “Remember when your father caught us in the barn?”

He said, “If I didn’t marry you he would send me to jail for 50 years. Well today, I would have been a free man!”

Words from the Editor Happy April everyone!

Welcome back Snowbirds!

The month of March was great for my Mom and I. First, we enjoyed a wonderful Paint Day event, organized by Joy Morrison, where we learned from the talented artist Arlene Enns, steps and tricks, on creating an acrylic painting masterpiece. The two hours just flew by and if it was not for the artist telling us to put down our brushes I believe I would still be

there trying to perfect my canvas. My Mom was the very lucky winner of the Artist’s painting and she was thankful for that. The food and conversation left us feeling really good at the end of the event. Good job, Joy. There is another Paint Day Event on the 9th of April for those on the wait list and then a further Paint Day Event either in May or June or the summer depending on the number of residents interested.

Second, the St. Patrick’s Day Casino Night on March 17th was a phenom-

enal success and we have not enjoyed a better time.

We laughed, we ate, we drank, we teased, we won chips and we lost chips. I know that everyone loves the dances, but I feel that the Casino Night truly brought more residents together. Nothing like a little competition to get you up and going. The Taco Bar Lunch was over the top. It was healthy and full of great flavours. We truly enjoyed the Irish Taco Pulled Pork that Gwen Simpson made and we will be making that as soon as we can. It was delicious. Recipe included in this newsletter.

Third, it is Spring Break and I am off for the week to rest and relax from my most difficult job as a Library Technician in the Ste Anne English Schools.

LOL. Of course I am working on the April newsletter in between my naps but Summer and Happy Hours is right around the corner and we all look forward to that now don’t we.

See you next month.

P.S. - Anyone interested in taking over the newsletter beginning July first? Still looking!

Irish Casino Night Doreen (Mom) and I had the best time ever at the Irish Casino Night on March 17th St. Patrick’s Day. We never laughed as much or enjoyed ourselves as much.

Great, great company and a lot of fun competition.

It was very hard to get rid of those poker chips once we set our mind to it (depending on who was dealing, Brian Fulmore!!!) What’s my name Kelly Simpson!!!

Thanks to all the folks who prepared such a great taco bar, organized the games, and decorated. Thank you to Jerrod (Gwen and Kelly’s son), Sam (Jerrod’s sweetheart), Brian Fulmore, Brian and Linda’s son (never got his name), and Gwen and Kelly for being great game leaders. Finally thanks to Linda Fulmore for being a super hostess as usual always making sure things run smoothly. And to those who stayed and sorted poker chips you are awesome.

I sure hope there will be another one soon.

ONIONS! (PLEASE READ TO THE END: IMPORTANT) In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu... Many of the farmers and their families had contracted it and many died.

The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn’t believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.

Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser. She said that several years ago, many of her employees were coming down with the flu, and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work. Try it and see what happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.

Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent it to a friend

in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions: “Thanks for the reminder. I don’t know about the farmer’s story...but, I do know that I contacted pneumonia, and, needless to say, I was very ill... I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion put it into an empty jar, and place the jar next to the sick patient at night.

It said the onion would be black in the morning from the germs...sure enough it happened just like that... the onion was a mess and I began to feel better.”

Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago.

They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.

This is the other note lots of times when we have stomach problems we don’t know what to blame. Maybe it’s the onions that are to blame. Onions absorb bacteria is the reason they are so good at preventing us from getting colds and flu and is the very reason we shouldn’t eat an onion that has been sitting for a time after it has been cut open.

LEFT OVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mul-

lins Food Products, Makers of mayonnaise. Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.

Ed, who was our tour guide, is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed’s answer will surprise you. Ed said that all commerciallymade mayo is completely safe.

“It doesn’t even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it’s not really necessary.” He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. He then talked about the summer picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table, and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.

Ed says that, when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the ‘victim’ last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says it’s not the mayonnaise (as long as it’s not homemade mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It’s probably the ONIONS, and if not the onions, it’s the POTATOES. He explained onions are a huge magnet for bacte-

ria, especially uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.. He says it’s not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.

It’s already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!).

Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you’ll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you’re asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.

Also,dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.

Please remember it is dangerous to cut an onion and try to use it to cook the next day, it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates toxic bacteria which may cause adverse stomach infections because of excess bile secretions and even food poisoning.

The Funny Bone One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike, “My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I’d better see a doctor.”

“Listen, you don’t have to spend that kind of money,” Mike replies. “There’s a diagnostic computer down at Costco. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what’s wrong and what to do about it. It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars, a lot cheaper than a doctor.”

So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Costco. He puts in ten dollars and the com-

puter lights up and asks for the urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.

Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout: “You have tennis elbow.

Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping at Costco.”

That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began wondering if the computer could be fooled.

He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and

Here is an actual sign posted at a golf club in Scotland: 1. BACK STRAIGHT, KNEES BENT, FEET SHOULDER WIDTH APART. 2. FORM A LOOSE GRIP. 3. KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN! 4. AVOID A QUICK BACK SWING. 5. STAY OUT OF THE WATER. 6. TRY NOT TO HIT ANYONE. 7. IF YOU ARE TAKING TOO LONG, LET OTHERS GO AHEAD OF YOU 8. DON’T STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF OTHERS. 9. QUIET PLEASE...WHILE OTHERS ARE PREPARING. 10. DON’T TAKE EXTRA STROKES. WELL DONE. NOW, FLUSH THE URINAL, GO OUTSIDE, AND TEE OFF.

a sperm sample from himself for good measure.

Joe hurries back to Costco, eager to check the results. He deposits ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results. The computer prints the following: 1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener.

(Aisle 9) 2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo.

(Aisle 7)

3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.

Get a lawyer.

REMEMBERING A LIFE LOST WHILE ON DUTY

By Danielle Gordon-Broome The Swan Valley Star and Times Newspaper Vol. 117 No. 26 June 27, 2017

When Village of Benito Police Constable William Wainwright reported for his evening shift on October 4, 1935 he could never have imagined that he would soon be part of one of the largest manhunts in Canadian history, one that would leave seven people dead; including Wainwright, and three fellow police officers.

In the early hours of October 5, 1935 Wainwright and his partner, Swan River RCMP Constable John G. Shaw, stopped four young Russian Doukhobors – ranging from 18 to 21 years old – driving a 1935 Coach for having an unlicensed vehicle. They allowed the four to continue after a discussion but, as the night progressed, they decided to find the males and take them in for

questioning about a recent robbery in Pelly, SK. At approximately 4 am, they located the car in Arran, SK as they were dropping off two girls from a dance. One of the four boys was released with the car as the other three males were loaded into an unmarked police car to be taken to Pelly for questioning.

At that time it was not routine to search your prisoners and, as the car made its way down the dark country roads, one of the males pulled a knife on Wainwright, slashing his head and neck.

Shaw was also attacked by one of the other prisoners, suffering a cut to his cheek and right hand.

Although the two police officers fought back, they were outnumbered and eventually overpowered.

Wainwright’s .38 calibre revolver was taken and used to shoot him in the eye while Shaw was shot three times in the back of the head with a .32 calibre revolver that the trio had on them when they were picked up by the officers.

The car, now without a driver, careened into a ditch and the three murderers dragged the bodies of Wainwright and Shaw into a nearby slough, where they were discov-

ered two days later, on October 7, 1935, by a local farmer.

Later that day and into the next, newspapers and radio stations across the western provinces were carrying the story along with descriptions of the young men who were now missing and the stolen police car.

It was when three rough looking young men pulled into a service station in Exshaw, AB looking to purchase just one gallon of gasoline that the wife of the station’s owner contacted the Canmore RCMP to advise them that the car was headed their way.

Both the Canmore and Banff RCMP responded and, after holding up another motorist, the Doukhobors trio made their way to the east gates of Banff National Park where the RCMP waited.

A gun fight ensued striking one police officer in the chest and another in the throat. The fugitives fled to the cover of the nearby bushes where one was taken down by the police while the other two escaped.

The next morning October 8, 1935 at around 10 am two citizens watching the highway saw the pair cross. A search party followed. As word spread of

the two Mounties being shot, by the evening of 8 October 1935, enraged residents had armed themselves and formed posses to help the RCMP track down the two remaining fugitives. The search team involved Sergeant John Cawsey and his dog Dale, one of the first K9 police dogs employed by the RCMP. After another gun battle, a Banff Park Warden managed to fatally wound the remaining fugitives who died in hospital later that day, as did the two RCMP who were wounded the previous day.

This remained the deadliest incident in RCMP history until the Mayerthorpe tragedy on March 3, 2005.

It’s to remember stories like these that the RCMP Veterans’ Association had been, one –by-one, paying tribute to police officers that have lost their lives in the line of duty.

On Monday, June 19, 2017, a dedication to honour Wainwright was held at the Benito recreation grounds, unveiling a memoriam in the fallen officer’s name. RCMP officers from the Swan River and Kamsack detachments, along with a number of retired officers from across the province,

PARADISE VILLAGE NEWS

33 were in attendance.

“It is impossible to place yourself inside the RCMP vehicle where Shaw and Wainwright were on the fateful night,” said RCMP Veterans’ Association member Wayne Mirrlees. “However, one can only imagine the chaos, screaming, fighting, knife wielding suspects and the sounds of gunshots from inside that vehicle.”

“We are here today to recognize and honour Wainwright for his heroic efforts and his attempt to uphold the law of our country and keep us safe. He will not be forgotten.”

After a moment of silence, words were heard from Swan River MLA Rick Wowchuck, Municipality of Swan Valley West Deputy Reeve Brian

Burick and long time Benito resident Bill Schneider.

Why? It is unclear what had motivated the typically upright and respectable Doukhobor perpetrators to turn to criminality. The Doukhobor families of the perpetrators refused to take back the bodies of their sons, and they would be buried in unmarked graves in Morley. The third son was taken by his family and buried in an unmarked grave in a Saskatchewan Doukhobor wheat field.

Wallace and Harrison both died from their wounds after being transported to Calgary, and were afforded a full Masonic and military funeral processions. Constable Shaw, a veteran of the Royal Flying Corps was buried with full military honours in Swan River, Manitoba.

Florida Sunshine State Calling

In the southern US tornado season is now upon us. Local warnings are now in effect, swirling hostile weather systems are heading our way.

Time to squeeze our belongings into the car and reconfigure the GPS for the four day trip home...around the Gulf of Mexico to New Orleans, then swing right and head north through Tornado Alley, the great plains, and Paradise beyond. Weather watching now is our prime consideration. Along our route reminiscing about our successful 5-1/2 month vacation, making new friends, exploring fresh locations, and making plans for our return next Fall takes up much of our time.

Meanwhile, we’re keenly anticipating reuniting with Villagers and family...on Canadian soil.

Having been continuously exposed to the bizarre turmoil and mind-boggling national events here south of our border has indeed been a nerve wracking education...but, amid all this we are SO JOYFUL to be _Canadians.

Let the summer events and fun in Paradise Village begin. CU all soon.

“He is Risen” In the market squares of the Orient, the merchants display their articles for sale.

The purchaser lays down the price he will pay beside something he wishes to buy.

The moment the merchant lifts up the offered money, the sale is made.

The act of “lifting up the offered money” is the indication that the offer is accepted: the deal is completed thusly…

At the cross of Calvary, Jesus laid down the price for sin: His life.

On the third day, God “lifted” the offered price: the price was paid - the offer – the sacrifice of Jesus’ death on the cross in our place – for our sins – was accepted and the “deal” was made: CHRIST WAS RESURRECTED and REDEMPTION IS OURS – bought with the price: the PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS!!!

Someone has said: “True Christianity begins where “religion” ends: with the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

S. Lewis Johnson states: “The Resurrection is God’s “Amen!” to Christ’s statement: “It is finished!”

SPECIAL NOTE: Paradise Village Church has once again begun REGULAR SUNDAY MORNING SERVICES (10 am in the Recreation Centre) as of April 1st.
