Oscar Night Sacramento 2012 is a non-profit event benefiting those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS in our community. The all-volunteer board works to provide scholarships and education in the Community. Gary Stalick FOLSOM & GOLD RIVER Community Newspapers, and Cristina Mendonsa channel 10 News Sacramento Region is home to thousands of immigrants from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, in particular, from the country of Ukraine. But, what do we know about Ukrainians and their country? Well this question was addressed by the recent lecture given by Dr. Andriy Kryshtafovych, “ 12 Reasons to be Proud to be Ukrainian,” on February 11th at the Carmichael Library. The “12 reasons…” were addressing Ukrainian history, traditions, food, music, arts and contributions of Ukrainians to the fields of business, sports and science. Ukraine only has in recently achieved independence upon the breakup of the Soviet Union, so most people do not know that Ukraine is about the size of Texas and is the largest country within the boundaries of Europe. Ukraine is the “Breadbasket of Europe“ for its fertile steppe. This fertile land is the reason that people have been living in the territory of Ukraine since distant antiquity, and it is thought that the horse was domesticated on the steppes. Ornate Artifacts from the Trypillian culture, circa 5500 BC were shown. An ancient art practiced today is the intricate and colorful Ukrainian Easter Eggs. Ukrainians have made significant contributions to the music, one of these is the well-known “Carol of the Bells” composed by Mykola Leontovych. Famous musician Pyotr Tchaikovsky and writer Nickolay Gogol were descended from Ukrainian families. Alexander Archipenko, a prominent graphic artist and sculptor, was from Ukraine as was Igor Sikorsky, the developer of the first successful helicopter, and parents of Jack Palance, American screen actor. Presently, Ukrainians are prominent in the field of boxing, with the brothers Klitschko hold collectively all the heavy-weight titles in the world.

We’ve all been brought up with the idea that every spring we should clean our homes from end to end and freshen up for our health. This might have come from the idea that in spring, things are fresh and new and cleaning the home will renew your feelings about yourself.

1. Improve Your Health Without Diets Or Pills

Pollens, mold, and mildew spores are dumped into the air at incred-ible intensity. Pollutants from car exhaust, burning fields, and cigarette smoke were also dumped into the stagnant air. All this gunk drifted into your home and when you closed the house up, where do you suppose it’s been ever since? It got trapped in your home. Thanks to today’s air tight, energy efficient homes, your family and guests have been breathing that recycled air-garbage. 2. Your Home Is Your Personal Breeding Ground For Invisible Crit-ters And Varmints In addition to the air-garbage from outside, you have uncontrolled vermin inside. Too tiny to see, dust mites live in your carpet, upholstery, bedding and drapes by the millions. By now their dead bodies and dung are in your house by the billions. They live off your dead skin as do billions of bacteria in your home, including those that cause staph and strep infections. Ever wonder why so many people get strep as soon as it cools off outside? Now you know. Plus, fleas brought into your house last summer don’t die off like they do outside when it freezes. Bacteria and germs have been breeding in the warm fibers of your carpet.

3. Does Your Bedroom Smell Like A Gerbil? Here’s Why…

Besides being Harmful to our health, all the germs, bacteria and crit-ters that live off dead skin from us and our pets, stink. They eat skin and along with other excretions, put out tainted methane gas which smells bad. 4. Heavy Soil From Outside Sifts Deep Into Your Carpet Never To Be Seen Again Until the winter rains have washed the sand soil from the roads and sidewalks, heavy soils from outside are tracked onto your carpet, wiggle down deeper than your vacuum can reach and stay there, grinding your carpet down into worthless fibers. You’ll find them in your vacuum bag.

Choosing a company can be treacherous. I’ll tell you up front that my service is not for everybody, but here are some reasons to choose me: If all you want is a cheap, brush-the-dirt-off-the-sur-face cleaning, lots of companies can help you. Choose us when you want deep, thorough cleaning. We’ll give you the fluffiest, freshest, healthiest, longest lasting, clean carpets possible . . .

. . . Guaranteed!!!

I have seen many service personnel that my wife would not allow in our home. Good character and integrity have kept us in business for 21 plus years

S Carpet CleaningDo You Know These Secrets That Save You Time, Money, Frustration And Your Health?

Cleaning now, will get rid of sandy soils before they do lots of damage or get too deep.

5. Finally – Someone Who Can Remove Those Ugly Black Lines By The Walls, or Crevice of Steps I’ve had new clients call us to evaluate some embarrassing black lines where the carpet meets the wall and at the edges of steps and jagged lines under curtains. They told me no carpet cleaner could get them out and in some cases they had tried up to five different firms. But the black remained. I inspected these lines and found the cause to be an air filtration problem. With extra effort and knowledge on our part, the ugly black lines can be removed. I told the client this and they were apprehensive. I also told them if it didn’t come clean as I described, they would not have to pay us. How’s that for confidence? Yes, we cleaned the ugly black lines. Yes, our clients were happy. 6. Do-It-Yourself Folks Get What They Paid For… …Nothing The problems I have described here can’t be fixed very

well with any home remedy. Sure you can dust and do the basic cleaning just fine. But drapes, fine rugs and upholstery often cannot be safely cleaned except by a professional. Let’s face it. If those puny little cleaning systems could even come close to the effectiveness of a trained professional using a $55,000.00 steam cleaning system, no one would pay the money for them. But There’s Still One Thing You Should Know . . .
