Thinking is forbidden in ski races

Thinking is forbidden in ski races

Barely 15 years old, jacob schramm already has six, seven years as a ski racer under his belt. Eppenreuther is considered to be a rough skier. He has not yet decided on a special discipline, but as an U16 skier he is only allowed to compete in slalom and giant slalom anyway. For the youngsters super G and downhill are taboo.

At the races in the german school cup he has to compete with alpine kids or students of the skigymnasium berchtesgaden, who can do twice or three times as much snow training. Jacob is the only flatlander in the german top of his age group – he is currently in 12th place, but has also been second before – and is glad that he can train in the fichtelgebirge despite the current bad snow conditions. At the hempelsberg in oberwarmensteinach, the lift operator has created a base for the ski talent with artificial snow so that at least technical training is possible.

14-Year-old mergim alin became “reading king” at the kronach district competition

14-year-old mergim alin became 'reading king' at the kronach district competition

The level was extremely high. The english "r was rolled that it was a real joy, and even the darned "ti-aitsch" all the readers read fluently from their lips, or rather through their teeth. We’re talking about the exciting district english reading competition, which the eighth-grade winners of middle schools in the district faced on tuesday. The competition was held for the tenth time this year.
At the district competition in kronach, it was not only a question of correct pronunciation and intonation, but also of a flowing presentation. Whether the participants had pronounced and emphasized everything correctly was decided by a jury – consisting of teachers from the respective schools as well as deputy district administrator bernd steger. Although reading in front of an audience is no easy task, the bookworms showed little sign of excitement. In the first round, the five eighth graders and the one eighth grader read a text of their own choice. The eventual winner mergim alin chose "touring the everglades". The real challenge came in round two, when they had to read aloud a text selected by the organizer andrea karl-kremer – a specialist advisor at the gottfried-neukam middle school – in a lively, expressive and, if possible, error-free manner. This was the beginning of the english-reading "bat action time!" – an enchanting story about ben the bat and his best friends toby the pigeon and izzy the owl, who set off on a rude adventure. Only a few minutes were given to them to read the book. Nevertheless, all participants did their job very well. Congratulations!
To the "reading king mergim alin was deservedly chosen. It is no coincidence that the 14-year-old was able to communicate the text very clearly and confidently; after all, he is a native speaker (native speakers).

Off to the district competition!

The eighth-grader grew up in london and came to weibenbrunn with his albanian parents only a year and a half ago. English is then also the favorite subject of the lese-konig, who is now on 3. The contest was held for the tenth time this year, and the winners will represent the district at the county level in may in bayreuth. All participants (gottfried-neukam-MS kronach: leonard muller (m8a) and abdallateef al haj saleh (8c), MS pressig: gloria gotz (8a), MS kups: benjamin fischer (8b) and mergim alin (8a), MS windheim: dimitrios antonin) were rewarded with book gifts and a certificate that will surely look good on a job application. The district winner was also presented with a gift from the district, which was handed over by steger. "With english you can get around the world", he urged them to learn the world language comprehensively. He as well as karl-kramer and the new head of the school authority in kronach, gisela rohde, were very pleased with the excellent performance of the team. "This is my first official act in my new function and also for me an exciting thing", rohde, who has only been a visitor to the castle since the 15th century, said he had never seen anything like it. Marz is active at the kronach school board.

In obertrubach, everything stays above the belt

In obertrubach, everything stays above the belt

Vacations on the farm is the comedy in three acts, which the theater group of the parish "st is performing. Laurentius" performing in these days. What son wendelin (martin reichel) and his mother liesl (katharina brutting) expect as a lucrative new source of income, however, makes the farmer from kalblhof (matthias gruner) quite skeptical. Driving in his role as old servant and miner christian habermann. Like no other, he bridges the gap between the rustic countryman and the "city dwellers" to the point. He makes expressions that only a "truwier" can make knows.
The servant can not do much with the wishes of the north german guests. And when he was talking about the "educated hoard, man descended from apes, then they were apes. Chewing gum manufacturer otthold (manuel brutting), his wife vera (theresia dresel) and journalist paham jost (stefan hafner) have a hard time with the customs on the farm. You can see the "religious marchenland" and many other customs and usages do not understand.

The spectators keep coming
In between stands the maid kathl (petra zitzmann), who is not averse to compliments, but can also defend herself resolutely. That in the end everyone somehow finds each other and everything comes together is to be expected in a fun play.
The obertrubach theater series takes place for the 27th time. Times interrupted once a year instead of. And to the 27. For the first time, it is pastor werner wolf who directs the event. He has also brought the obertrubach theater into being himself. Wolf also chooses the pieces.
It is his concern to get away from the frivolous and the fashionable-contemporary, which often all too compulsively aims below the belt. Wolf seeks the hearty, perhaps also innocent spab. As the unchanged high audience response proves, his idea of a gentle theater evening is well received by the people of obertrubach and the surrounding area. "It's my first time here", said pastor michael gehret from pinzberg "and i'm glad that it's not ordinary here, but simply funny". "I got a ticket by chance", said gisela bauer.
"I think the theater is good, the servants just great", praised the mayoress of hiltpoltstein. Anna heid from wohlmannsgesees, on the other hand, has already played "at least fifteen times" been there when the actors from obertrubach take the stage. "It is already, funny and sociable, so it must be", she says. Christian habermann, too, can perhaps no longer imagine life without the theater. He has been with the obertrubach group since the very first day. And also this year the role of the servant is formally cut to his body.

Tonnies resigns - schalke burgschaft raises questions

Schalke’s supervisory board chairman steps down: clemens tonnies looks resolutely into the camera with a blue-and-white scarf around his neck, spectators sit in the arena in the background.

The news also came in the middle of the discussion about a supposed state guarantee for the revierclub, which is in dire straits financially.

No company wants the job

The current high level of capacity utilization in the construction industry is also leaving its mark on the community of segnitz. "It’s the same old story, you can’t get any more companies," mayor marlene bauer informed the council that no bids had been received for the tender for work on the mainstrabe entrance to the village.

In consultation with the office for rural development (ALE), it proposed to postpone this measure and to put it out to tender together with the rehabilitation of the local thoroughfare. "With the prices, they don’t give us any hope that it will be more favorable for us, but we reckon with better chances to get a company at all," explained bauer.
