Vernon’s Jonny Kashuba and David Burns are tying to win the Austrian version of the World Series with some Major League-type numbers
boosted the Attnang-Puccheim Athletics to the Austrian Baseball League pennant while setting a circuit record for wins in a season with 24
Kashuba led the Athletics in most offensive categories with a batting average of .372
Kashuba also won the league gold glove for his defensive play at shortstop
marvelled at Kashuba’s late-season explosion where he smacked five homers in six games and followed up with four taters in four playoff tilts
“This is unheard of in this league where in a 28-game season
semi pro players that play here will maybe hit eight to 10 at the most,” said Burns
The Athletics also boast the league’s top pitching staff led by Josh Castanza (1.59 earned run average) out of Florida
Both pitchers reach levels of 86-88 miles an hour
The Athletics are preparing for the championships after defeating the Schwaz Tigers 3-1 in the best-of-five semifinal
the A’s rode the bats of Burns and Kashuba last weekend by winning Game 3 (16-4) and Game 4 (10-0) to advance to the final
195-pound Kashuba belted two of his four home runs in the series while Burns went 2-for-4 with two doubles and four RBI
Kashuba smacked his third homer of the day off the Tigers’ Californian starter while Burns went 2-for-3
The A’s began the championship series with two games Saturday
a team that has won the most titles in the history of the ABL
The remainder of the best-of-five final series goes next weekend at the A’s Garden in Attnang-Puchheim
“The series is dubbed the Young Stars vs the Old Stars and the Metrostars team is comprised mostly of a young talented nucleus of players aged 19-23
while the A’s are a more veteran team with almost all of the players in their late 20s and early 30s,” said Burns
Attnang was founded by Bavarian seddlers in the late eighth century
The town of Puchheim is documented the first time in 1135
In 1912 the community changed its name from Puchheim to Attnang-Puchheim to acknowledge this growing part of the town

a teacher at the Regenbogenschule in Attnang-Puchheim
wrote and illustrated a multilingual children's book with her pupils
She sees the lack of acceptance in society and the prejudice against children who speak several languages as a problem
"It's important to show that you accept other people
even if they speak a different language," say ten-year-old Amos and his classmate Jasmin during their visit to the "Krone" at the Attnang-Puchheim Rainbow School
As soon as you enter the elementary school
it quickly becomes clear that the words of the two pupils are not just empty phrases - linguistic diversity is a way of life here
Flags from a number of nations line the entrance area
"27 different languages are spoken in our school
we try to incorporate the languages and cultures into the lessons
which works very well and is also accepted," says teacher Kasandra Blazan
who therefore also took a very creative approach to encouraging the children
"Pablo's heart language"Together with her class
she wrote and illustrated a multilingual children's book entitled "Pablo's Heart Language"
The story incorporates the authors' native languages to convey a sense of what it feels like to be new to a country and not speak the language
It is also intended to be thought-provoking
The children have gained more self-confidence through this book
Psychologically and physically attacked"This book has given the children more self-confidence
It's actually a gift to be able to grow up with several languages
society has a negative attitude towards this topic
It really bothers me that multilingual children are immediately associated with problem schools," says Blazan
grew up bilingual and was attacked both mentally and physically by classmates as a child as a result
"But now I'm actually grateful that it happened to me
Otherwise I probably wouldn't be where I am now and I wouldn't be so committed to this heartfelt issue," admits the dedicated teacher
who has now even created a play from the book that will be performed in Attnang on Tuesday
we're really pleased and hope that we can use it to raise awareness of this issue," says Blazan.
