BIS-Lancaater Farming, Saturday, August 20, 1988 Challenge Of The (Continued from Pag* B 14) wife explained, “That’s because he is allergic to dust. But he does vac uum the floorS.” “What works for me may not for someone else,” Michele cautions. “When it comes to working and motherihg, there is no right or wrong answer. Every situation is different and it depends on the ful fillment and the opportunities a person has.” One of the most rewarding pro jects at Michele’s job is coordinat ing the Fashion Revue. As a for mer 4-H’er, Michelle identifies with the joy in a project well done and in the sadness that 4-H prog rams sometimes entail. She explained that the first year she joined the dairy club she won a blue ribbon for her cow Gigi, who was more of a pet than a project. After several years, Gigi needed to be sold. A photo captures the emo tion of the moment where Michelle walks her cow to a neighboring farm while wiping tears from her eyes with her dad’s red bandana hankerchief. She said, “I swear the cow cried too.” After active involvement at Pequea Valley High School, Michelle attended Indiana Univer sity where she majored in home economics. After her freshman year, she landed an summer assis tantship for three summers that opened doors for her becoming a Lancaster County home econom ist. After four years she transferred to the Berks County extension office. In 1980, Michele married Steve who was in seminary. His first pastoral position was in West Lawn, Beiks County. By the time Michelle transferred to the Berks office, Steve had been transferred to Manheim, Lancaster County. Comfortable protection. Redwings « ASK THE MAN WHO WEARS THEM SUPER SOLE SAFETY BOOTS “Consequently, I’ve always had to commute long distances,” Michele explained. Her hour long drive now is not as tedious as it once was. Michele is not certain if that stems from becoming accustomed to it or if it is less hectic. She works hard not to schedule more than two nights away from home. That way the Rodgers manage to have at least one parent home with their baby. She admits to breaking the ste reotype of the pastor’s wife who is involved in everything. She teach es the young adult Sunday school class and is involved with the youth. “I can’t do everything,” Michele said. “But thats ok. I feel like I am called to fulfill what I am doing.” Now, Michele is tackling some thing new. She, with Judy Stoudt, the Berks county horticulture agent, is filling a six month term as intern assistant to the regional director. “It’s a new experience in an administrative role,” Michele said. The job sharing is a new con cept for the extension offices. “It’s too early to evaluate whether or not job sharing works well in this area,” Michele said. But she believes it is an excellent oppor tunity, one that she undertook only after much soul-searching. “Knowing what we can handle and examining our opportunities needs constant reevaluation,” she said. As Michele researches, writes and lives outs balancing family and work responsibilities, she’s tackling one of the major challenges of the ’Bo’s. And that brings her much fulfillment. “Women,” she stresses, “must be supportive of each other—what is right for one may not be right for the other.” GIGANTIC SELECTION IN Lancaster Farming's CLASSIFIEDS Steel Toes?
