            The snow is slowly receding and we can finally see dirt. Who knew that this would bring such a feeling of relief?  My tomato plants in the basement have buds and if the temperatures really do reach +15 this weekend, the plants will be moved to the greenhouse. Even though they have been transplanted they will need bigger pots before the garden soil will be warm enough to set outside. Much of the yard still has 2 – 3 feet of snow but the patio and deck have been cleared and are patiently waiting for chairs.

Footloose

            Last week was a very busy week at W. C. Miller Collegiate as they presented the musical Footloose. The story line is about a kid who moves from the city to a small rural community. It tells about the differences and the difficulties faced by the teenage son in the family. Include a small town girl in the picture and you’re bound to have trouble. Mostly it’s an age-old situation about how teenagers want to change the world they live in.

            The show ran from Wednesday, Apr. 17 – Saturday, Apr. 20 and was sold out every evening. During intermission the audience was offered the purchase of a sundae which many enjoyed. The music was a live band and was absolutely outstanding. The seating set-up was awesome and no one had to strain to watch the show or take photos. Bravo to all the cast and crew for a job well done.

Soup and pie

            The Rosenfeld Parent Council held their annual soup and pie fundraiser on Thursday, Apr. 18. The tables set up at the Rosenfeld Center were surrounded by people enjoying the food and conversation. Noodle soup, somma borscht and cabbage borscht; add fresh homemade buns and how can you go wrong. The pie and coffee topped the yummy meter to an all time high.

Maroons playoffs

            The Altona Maroons headed out to Portage on Thursday, Apr.18 for the first game in the provincial senior men’s playoffs. They beat the Red River Wild team 8 – 1. Then they headed to Winnipeg to play the rest of the tournament taking on the Neepawa Farmers on Saturday, Apr. 20 winning 5 – 0. Sunday’s game proved to be a bit of a challenge with penalties but the guys put on the coals and won the Souris Elks 9 – 3. This was the first time a Provincial Male Senior A tournament was held and the Altona Maroons are proud to be able to hang the pennant at the Altona arena.

            Some of the Rosenfeld fans who attended the games were the Ron Smith family and of course Russ and Gladys Klassen. Angus Klassen wore #10 for the Altona Maroons. Congratulations to the guys for bringing the pennant to Altona.

Two beautiful Rosenfeld girls, Ashton Cornelson and Gabby Wolfe, showed off their dancing attire and kicked up their heels on the set of the musical, Footloose, which was held at the Miller Collegiate.
