Your laneutor County RolkUts 1655 Rohrerstown Rd Lancaster, PA Flory Mill Exit off Rt 283 Last week I made fasnacfats. As I , made only one-half of a recipe I had some leftover yeast. I’d recently cleaned out some storage closets and found rye flour that remained from the time that my girls were home and made bread, so I decided to bake rye bread too. Now this might not sound like much of a decision to you but it has been over 30 years since I baked bread. At that time, I had a bad experience and so I did not want to have the same thing happen again. That day, many years ago, I was kneading dough when it was time ISti v. * (717) 569-7063 to meet the school bos. As it’s nearest stop was one mile from our house, we usually drove the car to get the smaller children. This was a winter day with snow and ice on the roads. I glanced out the window and saw my husband and a salesman busily talking. They made no move to end their half hour discussion. And so, I prepared to drive to the bus Instead of my husband, who is a better driver on icy roads. Well, on the way, a tree jumped out in front of me and stopped the car. Now we needed a new light and a new fender. I was quite Refoersburg Mother Graduates To Greenhouse Career UNIVERSITY PARK - Rebersburg has an unusual nur sery and a remarkable grower. Roberts Greenhouse and Nursery in Brush Valley is an energy efficient and chemical-free operation that specializes in Wholesale containerized perennial and ornamental landscape plants for garden shops and holiday flowers for retail flower shops. Its owner, manager and prin cipal employee, Janice C. Roberts, mother of four and grandmother of one, is on her way to a new career and a dream come true. “After 19 years as a psychiatric nurse, I thought it was time for a change. I’ve always been good at growing things and when I saw a brochure about the two-year or namental horticulture program at Lancastbr Fanatag/Satarday, March Id* IM74K' upaet When anyone heard about the accident they asked bow the car had fared. Finally one of my many sisters asked me bow I was. You aee, I was expecting a baby in a few weeks and that didn’t help anything. I’ll always be grateful to that sister who thought about me instead of the car. Now you know why I have not baked any bread for years. I suppose you could say that I’m superstitious. Now the end of this long story is that the fasnachts got okay but the bread was a flop again. Penn State, I thought, this is it.” Since returning to Pennsylvania after years of nursing in Oregon, she has worked at The Meadows clinic, Laurelton Center. Mrs. Roberts, of Star Route 1, graduated Feb. 28 from Penn State’s technical program in or namental nursery management. The program combines on-campus instruction with on-the-job training and is designed for those who already have some experience and want to pursue professional careers in the landscape industry. It is offered by the Department of Horticulture in cooperation with a number of other departments in Penn State’s College of Agriculture. “I’ve been taking Penn State courses since the '7os, but this was entirely different,” Mrs. Roberts says. She did her internship por tion with Carl Vesper at Twin View Nursery in Boalsburg, doing a little bit of everything. ‘‘l worked in the propagation area quite a bit and sometimes helped customers with design ideas,” she says. After celebrating graduation with her family (most of whom, including her mother and three of her four daughters, also have Penn State degrees) she quickly put them all to work getting plants ready for spring sales. The help of her family and her own energy have already put her business in operation. “I’ve been supplying holiday plants to a flower kiosk in Baltimore ever since I started the program and am now developing a production nursery of perennials and ornamentals for wholesale,” she says.
