How was it once with telecommunications, when there were still dial telephones, telegrams and telephone booths? Whether at that time also so much was communicated as today? Facebook and whatsapp groups offer the possibility to send all kinds of funny and trivial things to the circle of acquaintances in addition to sharing facts. We wanted to know: is this a curse or a blessing?? Do these groups rather offer benefits and bring joy or do they bring annoyance through superficiality??

"I see the advantages and disadvantages", says police officer holger reinlein, who is also a member of the staffelstein fire department. "I use whatsapp groups in my club and family as well as with work colleagues." this was a good and easy way to exchange information quickly and at short notice. "But there's also a lot of unnecessary stuff being sent out", he adds. "When the cell phone doesn't stand still at all, it sometimes gets on my nerves, too."

It is amazing what the hohner endurance athlete stephanie lieb has achieved in the last few weeks. A three-day stage race in austria over a total of 73 kilometers, a marathon race in munich and now the swiss sardon ultratrail over 70 kilometers. This violent run took place in the region around the mountains pizol and spitzmeile. The starting point was the village of furrt at an altitude of 1500 meters.

Originally, a rough circuit of 86 kilometers with 6500 meters of ascent and descent was to be completed. However, there was a small change for the cross-country freaks: due to the persistent snowfall in the days before the race, the two highest points at 2600 meters were not passable, and so the organizer decided to change the course at short notice.

The creation and covering of flat areas to be landscaped with mineral materials (gravel, armourstone, etc.) is an important part of the project.) or plastic is excluded – except for roads and driveways."

SV michelfeld meets the first team of TSV rodelsee in a handball match: what would have been unthinkable two years ago is a reality this saturday. And that’s not all – the two teams that have not yet lost any points will be playing in the top match in the district premier league. Four divisions still lay between the clubs in the fall of 2015, before the rodelsee team started its downward journey. In the summer of 2016, ma-ximilian hackner, a rodelsee native who has experienced the entire upswing of TSV, switched to SV michelfeld as player-coach. The team was then champion, promoted and now competes with the TSV rodelsee.

"After the way this round has gone, i’m not surprised by either of them," says rodelsee’s player-coach radovan suchy. He is more surprised that the michelfelders have started so dominantly and consistently with six wins in their new environment. The michelfeld team is not bad, in suchy’s opinion they have two valuable newcomers in do-minic faustmann at the circle and kai roth in goal, "plus hackner is a very experienced player". That can make a lot of difference, says suchy. His rodelseer already played a good role last year as fourth of the bezirksoberliga.

Wasmuthhausen – a firefighting group of the wasmuthhausen fire department passed the performance test "the group in the firefighting operation" successfully. Under the eyes of the district fire inspector peter hegemann they showed a very appealing performance, which could be observed by numerous spectators from wasmuthhausen.
In a very fast time, the group loved to make only a few mistakes, which at no time put the passing of the exam in danger. A week of hard and extremely sweaty training had the participants behind them, which was led by the two instructors, the commandant duo from altenstein and geroldswind, uwe hein and robert muller.
In his laudatory speech, peter hegemann referred to the performance shown and thanked the participants for their commitment and willingness to put themselves at the service of the community. In this day and age, this is not a matter of course, according to hegemann.

Mayor gunther hartleb saw for himself the performance of the wasmuthhausen fire department and offered the congratulations of the market town of maroldsweisach. He also praised the volunteerism of the participants and pointed out the importance of their commitment to society.
Commander christian vogel loved to briefly review the week and expressed aubert’s satisfaction with the course of events and the performance. This is also the merit of the two instructors uwe hein from altenstein and robert muller from geroldswind, who made themselves available in the usual way with their knowledge and support. Especially the passing of the highest level by sebastian vogel and ralf hofmann was praised by commander vogel and asked for the further engagement for defense and population despite the reaching of the final level. The week was brought to a pleasant close over a meal and mineral water.
