Brr, the temperatures sure took a dip from last week. I turn into a recluse when it gets this cold, going out only if absolutely necessary. It's near tax filing time and I turn into a crazy person trying to organize the files. This isn't my favourite thing to do and I can assure you that I would never work as a receptionist or secretary. Mike, our son, takes care of the actual filing and I used to just bring him a box job but I have been trying to be more organized that that. For those of you who don't' know what a box job is, it's when a person throws all the papers into a box for the whole year and then brings it to thee accountant. I think that most accountants would refuse but this is our son we're talking about. seeing how we have only one child, he gets it all, if you know what I mean. Ach, it's not that bad, he never complains after all, I'm his mom and we know each others short comings.
Community announcement
Marge Schellenberg will again be hosting a Ladies Night Out this year. It will take place on Thursday, Feb. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Rosenfeld Good Neighbour Center. This year's theme is Africa and from all reports the decorations alone will be worth seeing. There will be a guest speaker and coffee and desserts will be served. All ladies are welcome to attend.
Baby news
Jim and Judith Schellenberg of Mitchell welcomed their second granddaughter to their family on Sunday, Feb. 1. Willa Marie was born at the St. Boniface hospital and weighed a very nice 7 lbs. 13 oz. She was welcomed into the family of Mom and Dad, heather and Jordon St Cyr and brothers Aiden and Liam of Niverville. Best wishes go out to the families.
Hockey refs
I know that I an not a sports reporter but I would like to address the topic of reffing. In my opinion, when two teams are playing, in this case the Miller Aces and the Morden Thunder, the reffing should be done by outside refs. No refs from either community should be on the ice, period. Monday, Feb. 2 these teams played in Morden and the reffing was so lopsided that most of the Altona parents ended up going inside to watch. The Miller Aces opened the scoring and after that they played the refs, not the other team. When this happens I totally understand why the players start slashing the refs like at that hockey game in the Interlake region last year. Oh, you may say, she has a temper. Yes, I do but for goodness sake these are kids trying to play a game and as long as they're not goons out to injure the opposition player, let them play. And I am not a sore loser; I give kudos to players of either team when they make a good play. But the refs at this game deserve rotten eggs.
Birthday wishes
A big, loud happy birthday wish goes out to Jean Warkentin of Sanford and Mike Wolfe of the Rosenfeld area who celebrate their birthdays on Feb. 3.
Get well wishes
The community would like to wish Gail Shimonek a quick recovery. She fell on ice last week and broke her left leg. She reported that the surgeons at Boundary Trails were very busy with surgery and casting last week. She will be wearing an air-boot for a number of months. To add pain to injury, her and her husband, Percy had to cancel their trip to Mexico. Now that's a double ouch!
