Wahlerinitiative landkreis forchheim will split up

"In 1990 we started and founded the first list for the district council", foundation member rose stark remembers. The mayoress of pretzfeld tells that some burghers were disappointed at that time that no one cared about environmental issues at the district level. It was not clear, for example, whether dangers were emanating from the landfill site in gosberg, because it was not sealed off. "We were mainly active environmentalists and nature conservationists who were not in any party, but wanted to bring their issues into county politics", the members wanted to raise awareness of the environment and tackle problems." since such topics are tackled in administrations, the WLF wanted to be "supportive there". Foundation member rose sees the strength of the list in this: "our concern was to make proposals that could actually be implemented by the administration. We have tried to implement sensible projects together."

From 1990 to 1996, georg meister and heinz marquart headed the list, from 1996 to 2002 rose stark and heinz marquardt. From 2002, peter morys and rose stark were at the helm of WLF, from 2014 rose stark and klaus schwab. The latter had to step down for health reasons and was succeeded in 2018 by heinrich kattenbeck, who had been on the WLF’s list of candidates since 2002.

Spd and union far apart on care finances

Spd and union far apart on care finances

Before a meeting of the health working group in berlin, CDU negotiator jens spahn promoted the idea of a collective provision fund for care needs that will increase in the future. In addition, the so-called "pflege-bahr" must remain in place or be strengthened. "We could imagine a family component in the financing of the state-required supplementary care insurance, so that someone who has more children gets a higher claim," spahn said.

SPD rejects both as steps in the wrong direction. The "pflege-bahr" brings high administrative costs and little security, said their negotiator karl lauterbach. "If we don’t see any movement on this today, and the interests of those who need care and those who provide it are less important than the interests of the capital market and the insurance industry, then we will not reach an agreement," he said.

Contact points for patients reorganized

Contact points for patients reorganized

Work is currently underway on the first floor of the helios st.-elisabeth hospital bad kissingen remodeling inspections. According to the company, the hospital is currently relocating several points of contact within the building in order to save patients a journey and at the same time improve the logistical structure in the building.

In the entrance area of the first floor, according to the company's announcement, the elective patient admission will take place as of the end of october. This means that all patients who are planning to go to hospital register there. This way, patients are directly admitted as soon as they enter the clinic via the main entrance. Previously, the patient admission area was located in the emergency outpatient department. The space freed up there will be used from november for the on-call practice of the health insurance association (kassenarztliche vereinigung, KV). In this way, the staff on site can quickly and easily decide whether a patient is an acute case for the emergency room of the hospital or for the emergency medical service of the health insurance fund. Patients will thus be able to receive all-round care in the clinic outside the opening hours of their general practitioners. This will improve the cooperation between the helios st.-elisabeth hospital and the outpatient medical care in bad kissingen further improved.

5Th place for lsc hochstadt

With over 1,300 entries, the german cross-country championships in ingolstadt had one of the highest numbers of participants in the past ten years. A challenging 1.1-kilometer circuit with several climbs, obstacles, and sharp turns was set out in the middle of the city’s hindenburg park. Four runners from LSC hochstadt took to the starting line in the 4.1-kilometer middle-distance race for men. Actually there should have been six, but two sportsmen were prevented for health and private reasons.

In the starting field, which was peppered with top german runners, a leading group quickly formed with the eventual winner richard ringer from rehlingen. The chasing group was led for a long time by hochstadt’s martin weinlander, who had to let a few competitors pass in the last lap, but in the end delivered a strong performance as the best german in 18th place. The two-time bavarian indoor champion of the LSC, adrian konig-rannenberg, started the race a little more cautiously. He relied on his final spurt and collected a few more athletes that way. In the end, he finished in 27th place, in the first third of the overall field. Florian lang came back fresh from the training camp on lanzarote. In the first round he ran a little too offensively, which he clearly felt in the last round.
