February 11, 2013 Rosenfeld News by Tina Wolfe
This new feeling of complete relaxation and contentment is almost overwhelming. I completed a 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle on Monday and as I’m putting in the last few pieces, I experienced a light bulb moment. For me the winter was over. It was as though the last piece represented the end of winter Maybe because I placed the seed order last week? Now I have to hurry and finish the corduroy piece camping blanket which I started before Christmas. When the seeds arrive the peppers need to be started immediately and the tomatoes soon after which are followed by petunias. The impatiens will be purchased at Costco this year; they’re more difficult to start and the seed is getting quite costly. So no matter how much it snows and blows, my mind is focused on spring.
Hockey update
What a weekend of hockey in southern Manitoba. The Altona Maroon Bantams played three games. Friday night, Feb. 8 they took on the Macgregor/Gladstone team and the evening ended in a tie, 3 - 3. All the negative rumours we had heard about this team were true and it was a very rough game. The Altona team had two players, Simon Schroeder and Thomas Wolfe, out with concussions and before the game was over Alex Damphousse was pulled due to a previous injury. Then Saturday, Feb.9 the team played Carman. This was a much better game to watch and Thomas and Simon were back on the ice but Alex was still not playing so they pulled Colton Harder from the peewees. Altona won 3 – 1. Manitou/Somerset has a team very evenly match to the Altona team and it showed after no scoring in the first period played Sunday. It was an extremely exciting game with a score of 2 – 1 for Altona. The regular season is done and now the playoffs begin.
The Miller Aces have started their playoffs and also played on Friday night. Some parents and grandparents tried to watch both games. When the bantam game was done in Gretna they rushed over to Altona to catch the last half of the Aces game and it was well worth it. The Aces trounced the visiting Portage Trojans 3 – 1. Tuesday, Feb. 11 the Miller Aces played Morden and lost 5 – 2. Better luck on the next game.
The Winkler Flyers were looking for another win but came up short on Feb. 8 when the Winnipeg Blues out shot and outscored them 4 – 1. This is also their playoff series.
Community update
The Winter Carnival will be held on Saturday, Mar.2. Everyone is invited to come and enjoy the day’s activities and free food.
An exercise program will be offered at the Rosenfeld Center which will begin on Tuesday, Feb. 26. Tracy Penner of Plum Coulee will be teaching the Tyson Method boot camp Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:30 – 10;30. The cost is $131.25 for 12 classes and online workouts. Please call Tracy at 204 – 829 – 2306 to register.
I’ve noticed that this program shows results in a very short time but I don’t know if I have the energy or stamina to participate.
Read – a- thon
The students are busy reading this month and the theme is connected to the game of Clue. These are the questions posted on the board for the clues to the game; where are they reading, what are they reading, who is reading and to whom are they reading?
This week is Valentine’s Day and many dozen roses and chocolates are purchased. I personally prefer a live plant which then can be planted in the flower beds in spring. As to the chocolate, well, that is not a good idea at this time of the year. I’ve packed on enough insulation this winter without adding extra calories. Just take me out for soup and salad, thank you. I hope that everyone enjoyed their day and shared a smile or two.
