Anglers open the season

On sunday, 8. April, the season-opening fishing of the ASV hammelburg took place at the rentamtsweiher. It was the first community fishing of the club this year. Ca. 35 anglers of all ages gathered at the rentamt pond. In the beginning it looked very promising for a good fishing day because of the rising temperatures.
But the fish proved the opposite again. Despite the warm sunny days, the nights remained relatively cold and did not really encourage the fish to feed. A handful of fish have nevertheless been caught by anglers.

Gauze in the pond

But at such events the social aspect and the sociability is more important for the anglers.
A very present issue for the anglers is the mull, which is almost daily disposed of by people in the pond. In addition, the excessive feeding of the ducks by walkers, which leads to an increased fecal input of the ducks.
These two factors contribute to a drastic drop in the concentration of oxygen in the water, which deprives all living things below the surface of the water of the oxygen they need to breathe. In the worst case, a complete fish kill can be the result. For this reason, the ban on feeding ducks is also pointed out with signs, unfortunately in vain, as the anglers regret.
Nevertheless, the ASV will try to keep the pond attractive for walkers and tourists.

Glory days of rock ‘n’roll

Glory days of rock 'n'roll

Gunter sigl is 71. The frontman of the spider murphy gang, who performed with his band in the eggerbachhalle on sunday evening, carries the love of rock ‘n roll in his heart. So he confessed frankly: "I ziags net aus, meine rock `n roll schuah. No lang net!"
Together with the only bavarian speaking scotsman, willie duncan from regensburg (guitar) , the ex regensburger domspatzen wolfgang gotz (keyboard), dieter radig (percussion) and robert gorzawsi (drums) sigl swept the audience off their seats. He had neither a frog in the neck, nor schwammerl in de knia. The wicked performance at the "zwoa zigaretten" (two cigarettes) and small text insecurities at the beginning he skilfully played over. "Mia builds in such insecurities that you don`t believe it was playback", sigl welcomed.
The quintet took the almost 200 listeners on a musical journey through the last four decades with catchy tunes from the spider murphy gang. The full-blooded musicians played a colorful mixture of boogie-woogie, swing, rock’n’roll and old hits, accompanied by little anecdotes. A special treat, had sigl and radig with the song of the washing machine fifi in the pack, a" handwritten 24-page cabaret text", sung by the austrian duo bobby piron and josef knapp in the 50’s. "I liked that so much that I played the record so long, until I could the complete text", declared siegl.
Sigl and band gave the audience "glory days of rock n roll", regretted "you like me net", drank a piccolochen and accompanied the audience in the munchner schickeria. But they also sent pit in the whole world or consoled: "who will be woana" and said goodbye with "pfuat di gott elisabeth" of old loves.
But it was not only the songs that thrilled. Especially the drum solos of dieter radi and robert gorzawski, as well as the guitar riffs of willie duncan and the improvisations of wolfgang gotz, where they showed their dexterity and almost put the audience into a trance, were worth listening to. Not least because of this, the visitors gladly chimed in: "oh oh, I like you like this"."
That’s why most of the guests have accepted gunther sigl’s claim that he will one day be in purgatory with his colleagues "knocking on heavens door" plays, probably in bavarian. But then one thing is clear. "When you leave, the blues move in on me."

Mussel fights for survival

"We are in the middle of another hot summer. After 2015 and 2018, many waters of the river pearl mussel are drying up again. We are fighting for the mussel’s survival, but if suitable waters are not available in the future, we have no chance." The words of thomas speierl sound dramatic. The head of the district of upper franconia’s fisheries advisory service and his staff have pulled out all the stops to conserve the river pearl mussel (margaritifera margaritifera) in the drei-lander-corner in the district of hof. But even the dedicated team can do nothing against the drought.

Some of the pearl creeks fell dry during the last heat period. With a relocation of mussel stocks, the experts have taken the last possible measure in the past few weeks. Now it depends on whether the river pearl mussel can survive in the new water.

“Clan” stonebreaker with good manners

Whether as a player, co-trainer or head coach. Whether first or second team, whether pinzberg or durrbrunn: sebastian "sippe" stonebreaker apparently can not escape the up and down. Since 2013, the 35-year-old pretzfelder has been going up or down a league without a break. But even in failure, an unwritten law applies to the midfielder.

Who alluded to them?
Sebastian steinbrecher: jens kugel from SV weilersbach, who i have known since kindergarten, yet i have never played with him or against him. He is the type dieter eilts at EM 96, i.E. A pure destroyer. Instead of 'steep pass', it had to be 'steep ratchet' during the interview last saturday. Therefor he was and is more known (laughs).

Heated discussion at the fires

Heated discussion at the fires

Many farmers from the region made their way to berlin on tuesday with their tractors to protest against the agricultural policy there. The police counted around 5600 tractors and over 40000 participants in the federal capital, some of them also from the coburg region. Not all farmers from the region were able to take part in the rough demonstration. In order to support the protest of the colleagues in berlin and to draw the attention of the population to their situation, several bonfires were lit at prominent points in the district of coburg on tuesday evening.

Raising awareness among the population

For example, in lahm, not far from highway 4, and on the hummelberg between buchenrod and scherneck, where the fire was visible from afar. "We want to actively support our colleagues in berlin and make the population aware of our problems", the farmers said unanimously. They no longer wanted to be pilloried as environmental sinners. Rather, they want to use these protest actions to draw the people's attention to their situation – which is anything but easy.
