October 2016 Words from the Editor, Debbie Kokil Welcome Fall! I hope you don’t mind Linda Roberts Pelletier that I stole your picture off of the Paradise Village 55 Plus Facebook Page for this month’s cover. I love living in Paradise Village and I love how each Season makes our Village so good to look at; whether it is the vibrant colours of Fall, the beauty of a soft snowfall or hoarfrost on the trees in Winter, the new growth of leaves on all of the flora in Spring and the many beautiful flowers that all of our residents plant in their gardens in the Summer. This is what Paradise is and we live here!

P.V.R.A. …….TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS Have you noticed lately there continues to be a strong positive community spirit within our village from many residents eager to step up and lend a hand when work projects crop up to which we can claim ownership. Because of these opportunities to contribute just a little personal time any resident of Paradise Village who`s not afraid to get their hands dirty can just show up and volunteer, adopt a fearless attitude, and pitch in with like-minded neighbours to accomplish the task...while having fun, meeting new people, and achieving free exercise in the process. Isn`t this what the PVRA is all about? This is not rocket science. Case in point...Refurbishing and Repainting the picnic tables adjacent to the Recreation Center this past summer. Rain delayed our efforts several times but never dampened our enthusiasm. Cutting to the core of the above work project, Jill & Justin, as Paradise Village Management supplied fresh paint, Paradise Village employee Crystal Mueller expedited it’s delivery. Prior to painting Rose McDonald, Cheryl Porte, and Sherran Ross power washed all 13 tables. Then the jubilant crew of Cam Barley, Laura Morrow, Gene Porte, Gay and George LaMay, Ila and Brian Cooper, and standby painter Peter Elwick, pushed electric sanders, swung paint brushes, and rolled out the much needed paint. During the entire project our crews never complained or cussed. We were having too much fun cracking jokes & laughing. Yes, we splashed paint on ourselves and had sticky fingers, while “entertaining “ bystanders. 4

Continued from the previous page…… Now, the “new” tables catch your attention with their smooth surfaces and fresh appearance. Looking ahead, next summer’s outdoor social events at the Recreation Center will offer a more inviting and visually appealing venue for Paradise Residents. So, in the final analysis, it’s the strong feeling of this writer that being part of a motivated, friendly, goal-orientated group such as the PVRA, and putting our ideas and skills to good use in an atmosphere of co-operation, sharing, fun, and achievement, makes living in Paradise Village totally worthwhile. It also feels great to belong. Sincere appreciation to all who put their personal stamp of ownership on the picnic table painting project durng the summer of 2016 which now benefits everyone.

Another Paradise Village Management and PVRA Executive Meeting was scheduled for September 20th, 2016. This meeting was casual and very productive in my opinion. We discussed issues about pool/hot tub temperatures, dust control within the village, projected progress on road repairs, Recreation Center parking lot lighting, Fall tree cutting, and insurance issues. Management had a few ‘minor issues” with us (PVRA Residents) which will be discussed at the upcoming 2nd General Meeting on October 4th, 2016 at 7:00 pm in our Recreation Center. Once again, enough said. Please show your support for your Executive by attending the upcoming 2nd General Meeting on October 4th and encourage your neighbours to attend as well.

Aeration involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. This helps the roots grow deeply and produce a stronger, more vigorous lawn. The main reason for aerating is to alleviate soil compaction.

There were a lot of burglaries in this one neighborhood, so they put extra police on patrol. One night a Drunk came home and couldn’t get his key in the lock. The policemen happened by and spotted him. They said that that looks like our man. The police went up to the front door and asked “Do you live here?” He said yes, but couldn’t get the door open. The policemen opened it up and to prove that he lived there he demanded to the policemen to come upstairs and see that his wife was there. In the bedroom he said to his wife, “Honey, do I live here?” She said, “Yes!” With that he took the policemen downstairs to make them a sandwich. The policeman said, “Hey! What about the man sleeping with your wife?” The Drunk replied, “The heck with him, he can come down and make his own sandwich!” Submitted by Julian De Grave 10

Our Monday Ladies Golf Windup took place on September 12th. Despite the wet conditions, we did have a few diehards who came out to golf the back nine at Oakwood. Wet feet and all we did enjoy ourselves. A few more ladies joined us for the putting contest, which was won by Margaret Rougeau with her ball going solidly into the hole. Our game was a scramble which was won by Margaret Erlendson and Ruth Jarco, with second prize going to Joy Morrison, Judith Burnell and Cam Miron. We all enjoyed a luncheon afterwards which the kitchen at Oakwood prepared for us. Thank you Dar. Thanks also go out to those people who kindly donated prizes. Much appreciated. We would like to encourage more ladies from our Village to come out and enjoy a day of fun on the golf course. All levels of players are welcome. For further information on joining our team, please contact Ruth Jarco at 422-8364.

Brains of older people are slow because they know so much. People do not decline mentally with age, it just takes them longer to recall facts because they have more information in their brains, scientists believe. Much like a computer struggles as the hard drive gets full, so too, do humans take longer to access information when their brains are full. Researchers say this slowing down process is not the same as cognitive decline. The human brain works slower in old age, said Dr. Michael Ramscar, but only because we have stored more information over time. The brains of older people do not get weak. On the contrary, they simply know more. Also, older people often go to another room to get something and when they get there, they stand there wondering what they came for. It is NOT a memory problem, it is nature's way of making older people do more exercise. Now when I reach for a word or a name, I won't excuse myself by saying "I'm having a senior moment". Now, I'll say, "My disk is full!"

Paradise Village Christian Fellowship Church God’s Amazing Love!!! In a world that seems so filled with dissention, strife, hate, violence, and terror one might well ask, “Where IS God’s love?” Certainly, it isn’t found in these things, but it IS there often in the midst of those tragic happenings. It IS found in the hearts and of those who truly love God and are following Him in their daily lives. It is said, “God is as near as your whispered prayer.” And the Bible tells us that, “The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by His Holy Spirit which He has given us.” (Romans 5:5) The choice is ours: show love, indifference, anger or even hate: we make that decision in every situation of our daily walk. Let’s decide to let God’s love fill us and flow through us to a “love-starved” world…
God’s Amazing Love!!! It will amaze us what it will do in us and for others through us as we let it saturate our lives!
Come worship with us on Sundays at 10 A.M. at the Recreation Center in Paradise Village. Everyone is welcome. Coffee and Fellowship following the Service. If anyone has special prayer requests please call the President, Dennis Hall. MENS Breakfast Fellowship: 2nd Monday of each month (10 a.m. at various restaurants) rides can be arranged. For details give Dennis a call at 204-422-9870. Please watch the bulletin Boards by the mail boxes for Paradise Village Church Monthly “Special Events.” Of course, everyone is warmly welcome to attend these (and ALL) functions of your Village Church.

Welcome New Residents to Paradise Village
Wayne & Joyce Kroker – 4 Lakeview Drive We would like to welcome Wayne and Joyce to Paradise Village. They moved from Steinbach, MB on July 9th, 2016. Prior to that, they lived on a farm just across the highway from here, where they lived for 9 years. Wayne is employed at Mazergroup in Steinbach and has been there for 8+ years and Joyce works at Granny’s where she has been for 21 years. As busy as they are they still find time to enjoy their seasonal camp at Manigotagan, Mb where they go camping, fishing, and driving quads. Joyce also finds time to work on her hobbies. She likes to sew, bake and is into wine making. They have the most adorable parrot named KoJo. He kept us entertained through our whole visit. He whistled and talked and made noises that parrots make, he is very, very cute. Wayne and Joyce have two daughters. One of their daughters, live in BC and one lives in Steinbach. They also have five grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. We went through the daily and weekend activities, and discussed the events and the different functions that are held in Paradise. We hope to see you at the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas Suppers, and the other events that are being held soon. Welcome. Bill and Laura Morrow - On September 20th Joanne and I had a meeting with the new residents of 9 Sunset and they are Laura and Bill Morrow who moved into Paradise Village August 12, 2016 from Matlock. They had driven through Paradise Village many, many times in hopes of finding a home here and had viewed a few homes that were for sale but they were drawn to 9 Sunset and purchased it. Bill and Laura were both married previously and Bill happened to be Laura’s husband’s good friend for many years. When both their marriages didn’t work they all went separate ways but as chance would have it they met again 13 years later when he asked for Laura’s help at Robinson Lighting where she worked. He remembered Laura and at first she didn’t remember him as he had changed slightly (grey hair, etc.) Well a few days later he called and asked her on a date and I guess the rest is history as they were married in 2003. They share 7 children - Laura’s 4 and Bill’s 3. They have 5 grandchildren and there is another on the way. It was discovered through pictures that Bill had purchased Laura’s mother’s trailer many years prior and in that picture Laura’s children were playing with Bill’s children at one of his children's birthday party. Obviously they were meant to be together and that’s why he survived a horrible snowmobile accident Feb 11, 1999 in St. Laurent. Bill was travelling 100 mph when he hit an ice ridge that broke his back in 9 places and he was found frozen and clinically dead for over 4 hours. When he was warmed he was revived but the doctors had the dilemma of how to put him back together again with the hopes that one day he could walk. His X-rays and information were posted world wide for specialists to look at and to see if anyone could figure out how to help him. A Russian doctor said he could be fixed and that he would send the parts needed. They did put him back together and in the end he could walk. He does however feel the cold as he has 6 rods and 20 bolts in his spine. He now putters in his garage and loves his Spyder Motorcycle which they both enjoy and he drives truck for Gardewine. Now Laura is quite the woman too and she loves to do it all. She loves interior and exterior painting, sewing, designing wedding dresses, does wedding cakes, tile work, electricity, plumbing, gardening, stain glass work and drove a semi for Reimer for 6 years. She loves to keep busy and takes great pride in her accomplishments and she works 3 days a week at Home Hardware in Selkirk in sales. Laura is an excellent baker as she treated us with fresh baking. They are in love with Paradise Village and they were really welcomed on their first day when Vida Boyer of 16 Nature brought them a dinner which made Laura cry tears of heartfelt joy and they knew then that they made the right move. It was a joy to meet and chat with them and we welcome you both to Paradise! 22

Bob & Tedda Grimshaw – 50 Village Drive - Bob & Tedda moved to Paradise Village on September 15, 2016 from Ingolf, Ont. Bob was with the Air Force where he was part of the crew. Tedda was in the Navy where she worked in Administration. Tedda told us that she was born in Nova Scotia, (South Shore), not far from Peggy’s Cove, but left there when she was 18. We talked about the great places to visit and also where to get some of the best lobster in the Maritimes. Bob hobbies are woodworking, decks, building furniture, and cedar chests. He’s also known to be a floor shuffle board champ. We were happy to hear that Bob has already been to the recreation center and joined the coffee group. Tedda’s interests are quilting, reading, sewing, and she loves berry picking. We were treated to some delicious blueberry scones and wonderful homemade strawberry jam; (the berries) were all hand-picked by Tedda. She also likes playing cards and is looking to volunteer at the library. We went through the activities and all the events that take place daily and weekly, including our Thanksgiving Supper and Christmas Supper that coming up. Bob and Tedda have 2 daughters and 6 grandchildren. Bob and Tedda are very happy that they moved to Paradise and said that it feels like home already. We welcome you to Paradise. Clifford Derksen & Mary Elizabeth Long – 2 Village Drive. Clifford and Mary Elizabeth moved to Paradise Village from Winnipeg on August 15, 2016. Clifford has been in Insurance for some 35+ years, and for the last 4 years has been employed at Kernaghan as an Insurance Adjuster. Mary Elizabeth was a social worker at the HSC for a number of years. She also has a degree and worked with Child Welfare. She recently has retired, from her position at the Selkirk Mental Health Center. Clifford and Mary Elizabeth are both busy updating, painting and remodeling their new home. When we entered their home you can’t help but notice that Mary Elizabeth is a collector. She has a beautiful collection of Elephant painting, figurines, and artwork. Mary Elizabeth also has collections of dolls, and numerous items that she has collected through-out the years. She also loves swimming, snorkeling, horses and hors- back riding. Clifford likes yard work, and traveling, (they love Florida), and they both enjoy camping. They also have a love for animals. They have 2 adorable little dogs, and have acquired a young cat that was dropped off at their house. They have posted notices at the mail boxes inquiring if anyone has lost a pet. They have one daughter, who they are happy to say moved back to Winnipeg from Toronto. Paulette and I went over the information, events and all the activities that Paradise Village has to offer. We had a wonderful visit, and hopefully we will see them at some of our up-coming events. Welcome to Paradise. Bev Williamson - Joanne and I had the pleasure of meeting Bev Williamson to welcome her into the community. Bev moved into 3 Parkview Drive on August 17th although she had purchased her home July 31st. Bev was born in Baldur Manitoba and then moved to Brandon where she lived for over 50 years. She worked for MTS as an operator and then McKenzie Seeds as a receptionist. She married and had 2 boys and then continued working at Woolco and then lastly at Royal Bank. Bev enjoys gardening, walking, water aerobics, dancing and music. She will be joining the Zumba classes and she also likes square dancing but she has no dance partner so if you are looking for a square dancer, you might want to give her a call! Bev loves music and had played the accordion. Like most of us when we were young, we gathered our siblings and played the mouth organ, the accordion and the spoons and made great music together. Bev has 2 sons and 3 grandchildren who are 9, 10 and 11 years of age. Family is most important to Bev! Bev had stated that she typically would have felt uneasy living by herself but when she moved to Paradise she felt so at home right away. And because she is a hugger we both gave her a welcome hug on behalf of Paradise! Jack and Susan (Sue) Steinhoff - On September 21st, Joanne and I interviewed and welcomed newcomers to 57 Nature Drive and they are Jack and Sue (Susan) Steinhoff. Jack and Sue met in St. Catherine’s Ontario and then eventually married in Niagra Falls. They lived in Thompson, Mb and both worked for INCO for approx. 30 years. Jack retired in 2004 from INCO where he was in Purchasing/Warehouse. Sue retired from INCO in 2008 and she was in metals accounting. They also owned a Jewelry & Gift Shop in Thompson and then moved to Killarney, Mb. where they had a B & B turn-of-the century farm house. They liked to buy, renovate and rent out their properties. Jack and Sue have 2 children - 1 boy and 1 girl. They have 2 grandchildren -1 boy and 1 girl and 2 fur babies! They are snowbirds and know of many of Paradise’s residents as neighbours in Texas and now they are neighbours in Paradise Village. Sue’s hobbies include quilting, scrapbooking, playing cards, and golf. Jack’s hobbies are woodworking, carving, cards and Bocce Ball. It was a pleasure to meet you both and we welcome you to Paradise Village!

Psoriasis *October is Psoriasis Awareness Month* Signs and symptoms:
The lesions can be painful
and/or itchy and vary in size. Since plaques consist of dry, flaky inflamed skin, it may also crack and bleed. While lesions can appear anywhere on the body, the most common sites include elbows, knees, scalp, chest and lower back. The plaques tend to appear in the same place on both sides of the body. Psoriasis can develop at any age, although it is typically seen in adults. One form of psoriasis called guttate psoriasis tends to occur in childhood and early adulthood. Psoriasis occurs equally among men and women and across different races. Family history of psoriasis is a leading risk factor. In recent years, research has been discovering some of the genes involved in psoriasis. What causes it? While it is not known exactly what causes psoriasis to develop in certain individuals, experts believe that the condition may involve malfunctioning of the immune system and the consequent production of inflammation. White blood cells (T cells) in the immune system are triggered and this causes inflammation to occur, which then causes skin cells to rise to the surface and shed at an abnormally quick rate. Skin cells shed every 3 to 4 days in psoriasis whereas in normal healthy skin, the skin cells turnover cycle is typically 30 days.
Trail Rules Always walk with a buddy, bring a map, and carry a cell phone Dogs can be off leash as long as they are socialized Do not litter and clean up after your pet Do not widen the trails as snowmobilers and 4 wheelers will use them Happy Walking Frank Leys 32
