September 16, Rosenfeld news by Tina Wolfe
I came across an interesting statistic the other day relating to students enrolling in agriculture related programs at the University of Manitoba. Ten years ago 250 students were enrolled and this year that number ballooned to over 600. More and more students are obviously interested in food production and where and how food is grown. According to my sources the farmers are smiling due to the yields coming off the fields. The winter wheat and canola have been good to very good bushels to the acre and in some cases breaking records. Let’s hope the beans, corn and potatoes do as well. Every business man in the area knows how this affects the economy for the better.
School teachers and updates
The enrollment count is 80 at the Rosenfeld School and this is down due to families home schooling or choosing private schools. The NDP’s anti-bullying bill is having wide spread affect throughout southern Manitoba. It’s sad when parents no longer trust the public school system especially when we have some dedicated outstanding teachers.
The Rosenfeld School staff are as follows: Karin Banman –Kindergarten, Yvette Froese - Grade1, Jackie Harms - Grade2, Barb Rempel - Grade 3/resource, Lauren McPhail – Grade 3/reading recover, Jennifer Klippenstein - Grade 4, Jackie Nickel - Grade 5, Kathy Schroeder – 6, Rob Fleming - Phys Ed, Jason Pilkington – principal, Gladys Klassen – secretary, Shelley Cornelson – EA, Terry Braun – EA, Kathy Thiessen – EA, Kirsten Penner – EA, Warren Schroeder – custodian and Angela Issak – librarian.
Parents were able to come out and meet the staff at the annual barbeque last Thursday and from information given to me by some of those attending, the evening had been great fun. If anyone was unable to attend, the school is always open for you to drop by and the staff will make you welcome.
Progress report
Thursday, Sept. 12 – What a day. I don’t have the words to express what a good day it has been. Physio is just getting better and better. Standing up using the pole is getting easier and I walked half the length of the rehab room using a walker. The staff was blown away and my brain could hardly grasp what I had accomplished. For supper that night Mike, Anna and Tom arrived carrying a big laundry basket. Out came a huge pot of mashed potatoes, fried chicken, sautéed carrots, gravy and for dessert; cupcakes and cookies. Dave joined us and we had the best supper ever out on the patio. Incredible, like I said what a day.
But things just got blown through the roof when the doctor gave me permission for a day pass. Sunday, Sept. 15 I was picked up by the Morden Handi-Van service and taken home to Rosenfeld to spend the day. Dave and I had family and friends over for the afternoon and I realized that even though I’ve come a long way, I still have a long row to hoe. But it was good to nap in our own recliner.
