Dogs, horses and ferrets came together in vierzehnheiligen

Every year, the blessing of animals and humans in basilica square is an exciting event for four-legged and two-legged friends alike. Traditionally, it takes place on the anniversary of the death of the founder of the order, franc of assisi (3. October 1226).

Father stanislaus wentkowski recalled that, according to franciscan conviction, man is responsible for his fellow human beings and for the whole of nature. He pointed out that animals are god’s creatures, which, like humans, are under god’s protection. They deserve reverence because this reverence is for everything created. The reverence for them is not least an expression of the reverence for their creator. "Francis makes us aware that we all have responsibility and care in nature. As a rational being, man has a duty to take loving care of his fellow human beings. For these, too, are created by god out of love – not just people", says the franciscan.

Speed skaters did not know about bouwman announcement

"We found out about it from the press," moritz geisreiter, athletes’ spokesman for the german speed skating association (DESG), told the "suddeutsche zeitung". His colleague leon kaufmann-ludwig explained that in his opinion this was no coincidence. It must have been clear to the provisional DESG president, matthias grobe, "that there was no approval from the athletes for this. It was only claudia pechstein and matthias grobe who had a public dispute with bouwman."

Grobe had announced in berlin at the beginning of the month that bouwman would be celebrating in writing the end of his employment contract on his 31st. July had been communicated. The dutchman announced legal action. The background to this is the year-long rift between pechstein and bouwman, since the latter declared that he had "no desire" to train the five-time olympic champion. Thereupon there had been a months-long mud fight between both sides.

The fire department of prugel was able to fulfill its task as a local fire department. This became clear at the annual general meeting.

According to chairman frank brinschwitz, a visible sign of the local fire brigade's commitment was also the prugel culture hall, because in a joint action, the members of the fire brigade and garden friends had laid a new floor and fundamentally renovated the wall. Brinschwitz therefore expressed his appreciation for all the hard work and dedication of the delegates. A lot of things are on the "small service road" with the municipal administration and the main fire brigade of altenkunstadt was done without any problems. Brinschwitz continued to report a positive development in membership and in this context also recalled social activities of the fire department such as the organization of the church consecration festival, participation in st. Florian's mass and the day of national mourning, visits to festivals, the senior citizens' afternoon and a christmas party.

“Better opportunities for children”

Decker immediately answered the question of whether a school expansion costing a good 1.1 million could still be justified in today’s world: "we wanted to go along with the ministry of education’s quality offensive and expand the range of schools on offer. An elementary school close to home with an in-depth requirement in the bound all-day school, a middle school with a strong vocational and practical orientation – here young people prepare particularly intensively for training and professional life. I think that businesses and trades are now eagerly awaiting such school leavers."

At the same time, the intermediate school-leaving certificate also enables students to continue on to a technical secondary school or even to obtain a general higher education entrance qualification and to enter a grammar school. "The domestic economy needs middle school graduates", decker stressed.

Eurozone slides into recession

Eurozone slides into recession

The second quarter of the current year had already seen a decline of 0.2 percent. Economists speak of a recession when economic growth is negative for at least two quarters in a row. The last time the eurozone had been in recession was after the global banking crisis began in 2008. At that time, economic output fell for five consecutive quarters until the summer of 2009.

The current recession is being blamed on the poor economic situation in the crisis-hit countries of southern europe. In spain, the third-quarter decline was 0.3 percent, in portugal 0.8 percent. Italy’s economic output also fell by 0.2 percent. Germany, europe’s largest economy, posted a positive performance of 0.2 percent.
