February 25 Rosenfeld News by Tina Wolfe
I’m back on my own computer and it’s like sitting in my comfortable chair. A person sure gets used to a certain item quickly and it takes a long time for me to adjust to change. But this makes me a happy camper.
Is there anyone out there who still wants more snow? We have higher snow banks in our back yard than we have had in many years. At the beginning I shoveled under the wash lines so that I could continue hanging out laundry but I’ve had to give up on that and admit defeat. The snow is a foot under the line and unless I ask Dave to bring the snow blower out back, the laundry stays in the house. This does not make me happy. There’s nothing as nice as crawling under the covers when the linen has freeze dried outside. A person can’t buy that smell; just perfumed soaps that make my sinuses explode. Why can’t the detergent companies come up with a real genuine outside fragrance?
School news
The Grade 6 class along with teacher, Kathy Schroeder and principal, Jason Pilkington started out early on the morning of Thursday, Feb. 7. The entire class was excited to be going skiing, many for the first time and Holiday Mountain Resort at La Riviere was not disappointing.
Grade 4, 5 and 6 classes travelled to the Festival de Voyageur on Friday, Feb. 15. It was a crisp but sunny day and the students enjoyed the toffee making as well as the other exhibits. Many warmed their hands at the burning barrels set up around the grounds.
Read-a-thon ended on Friday, Feb. 22 with an ice-cream party. A report will follow with the number of pages read during the month of February.
Hockey update
Altona Bantam Maroons began their playoff series on Saturday, Feb.23 against a team from Notre Dame. They lost 7 – 0. They played their next game on Sunday in Altona and the first and second period went fairly well. Then the third period everything that could go wrong did and they lost 6 – 0. Altona is now out of the playoffs.
I have only one question concerning this year’s playoffs and it is this: how does the Pembina Valley convener decide that the bronze team should playoff against a gold or silver team?
The Winkler Flyers are trying to secure a playoff spot but need to step it up a notch. They lost 5 – 2 to Portage on Feb. 21. Then had a very good game in Selkirk and won 3 – 2. Sunday they took on the Winnipeg Blues in Winnipeg and were tied going into overtime but lost 4 – 3. They will be very busy this week and the community is rooting for them particularly for Brett Klassen who is one of our own.
Amber s journal (au-pair in Germany)
I’ve met lots of new people lately in my language class. I’ve met people in class from all over the world: Paraguay, Morocco, South Korea, France, India, Lithuania, Spain, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Italy, Romania and the USA. I’ve made a whole bunch of new friends and I keep making more all the time. The boys are doing very well and I’m learning new ways to work and play with the boys.
