Columbia High School recently hosted students from the community’s German sister city this serving as the 17th time the exchange has brought Gedern students to the U.S experience Midwest culture and make friendships that could last a lifetime This year’s group of 25 students arrived March 26 and departed April 13 spending just over two weeks staying with their host families in Columbia The trip involves a fair amount of sightseeing around the area though a strong emphasis is placed on the Gedern teens experiencing life as an American student and simply enjoying time with and getting to know their hosts Leon Oberheim and Sina Günther were among the visiting students and they offered their thoughts on what things were like from their side of the exchange These young Germans shared a variety of reasons for wanting to participate in the exchange in the first place Weckeiser and Oberheim noted how they have met folks who participated in the exchange previously long having an interest in experiencing American culture themselves Matuschewski likewise voiced his interest in seeing the cultural differences and Günther said she’d anticipated the exchange ever since she’d heard about it from her English teacher “I wanted to see the actual cultural differences,” Matuschewski said speak about globalization and how most places have similar lifestyles I wanted to see how my actual English would hold up to a normal daily life.” They each also offered their thoughts on some of the cultural differences they encountered during their stay – particularly stressing the distinctions between American and German schools A consensus among the students was that things were notably more strict back home with Weckeiser saying school in Columbia was more like a family Matuschewski identifying that students talk far more casually with their teachers here and Oberheim saying the whole structure of the school day was different as they were used to having breaks through the day getting out much earlier and spending more time on fewer subjects Günther pointed to the larger American meal portion sizes and openness saying people here were far more willing to strike up a conversation Weckeiser also commented on water being free at school each student placed special emphasis on the time spent with their host family Günther particularly spoke about getting to know her family’s grandmother celebrating her 90th birthday and forming a special connection with her as she came to the U.S “I think it was really fun talking to her and about her experience because I think it’s really scary the thought of going to a country where you don’t know a single word of the language,” Günther said “I think she’s a really strong person and has a great personality.” The others also spoke highly about the experiences with their host families with Oberheim recalling a trip they took to St Weckeiser speaking on an aquarium and zoo trip and Matuschewski describing how musical his family was With these great experiences with their host families and others they met during the time spent here the students also agreed in their hopes to keep in touch going forward Weckeiser said a benefit from the trip was getting to experience a big taste of independence but she’s also keen to maintain the relationships made during the trip “I’m really looking forward to keeping in contact with my host family especially my exchange student because we really get along very well,” Weckeiser said “I also made a lot of friends outside of school and met so many people that just came up to me and were talking to me Matuschewski likewise said he hopes to keep in touch especially as he looks forward to his host student visiting Germany next year Günther said she is interested in returning to Columbia for a full year as a student keeping the connections she’s already made going having already gotten to know some Columbia students during their visit to Gedern last year “Some people I already knew them when I came here because they were in Germany last year,” Oberheim said “I’m glad that we had that contact until now and I hope that we will keep that contact when I’m back in Germany again I hope also that I can keep the contact with my host student and my host family because I really got to know them well The students had only good things to say about their experience during the exchange and their teachers similarly discussed how beneficial the program has proven to be over the 32 years it’s been running Britta Schäfer-Clarke is the teacher currently overseeing the German side of this exchange who served in this role for 30 years and enjoyed his last student exchange visit this year as a chaperone Schäfer-Clarke spoke about the development she’s seen in her students as they have spent time in Columbia echoing Weckeiser’s sentiments about independence “I enjoy most seeing them becoming very independent and becoming more and more self-confident,” Schäfer-Clarke said but that sort of was all done with after three days Heuser also spoke about the students’ growth but also placed emphasis on the cultural exchange aspect of the program pointing to the importance of exposing oneself to different cultures and – most importantly – different people “It’s really wonderful to see how well the students can communicate after all we have taught them during their time in Gedern,” Heuser said A lot of people asked us ‘You really want to go to the U.S with these political differences?’ And I say of course we want to I know not everyone is like how you see on TV because I have friends there CHS German Teacher Taylor Nickerson also offered his perspective on the other side of the exchange expressing a sentiment along the same lines as Heuser meeting people that have grown up in a different culture than their own it gives them a motivation to continue to want to learn the language and the culture because now it’s not something from out of a book The exchange is expected to continue next year as CHS students travel to Germany though Columbia will soon be getting another German visit – with Heuser joining – as the Sister Cities organizations continue their adult exchange program this summer The presentation will be by Stefano Filipponi Secretary General of the Opera di Santa Croce; Eleonora Mazzocchi curator of the Opera di Santa Croce; the art restorer Paola Rosa and the donor Donna Malin who made the restoration possible This will be followed by a guided tour Santa Croce in Rosa (in Italian by reservation only) dedicated to the discovery of great female figures buried in Santa Croce Their story will unfold during an unusual itinerary in which women of all ranks and occupations gain a voice and bear witness to some of the most engaging stories of artistic passion The monumental tomb of Louise of Stolberg-Gedern Countess of Albany was built between 1824 and 1839 by Luigi Giovannozzi and Emilio Santarelli and was located in the right transept of the Basilica on the left wall of the Castellani chapel six years after her death fifteenth century architectural layout is reminiscent of ancient monuments and houses two pensive winged funerary Geniuses of tender childlike forms. The two Geniuses are placed on the sides of a cippus on which is carved in bas-relief on the front the Virtues (Faith Hope and Charity) representing those of the illustrious deceased In the lunette inside the upper arch we can observe the coats of arms of the Stolbergs and Stuarts On the tombstone in the centre of the base there is an inscription made of pure gold which recalls the incomparable qualities of the countess who died in 1824 at the age of 72 Louise of Stolberg-Gedern was a protégé of Maria Theresa of Austria a modest income and a suitable arranged marriage Louise was chosen to marry Charles Edward Stuart considered the rightful heir to the thrones of England The union soon proved to be a failure and dangerous for Louise's life and thanks to her diplomatic skills she appealed to the Grand Duke Peter Leopold the Cardinal of York and Gustav III of Sweden to obtain a legal separation as well as an annuity that would allow her to maintain her independence and economic well-being It was an audacious choice for an 18th century woman given that her husband's violent nature could not necessarily be a sufficient justification for the society of the time Louise of Stolberg-Gedern moved first to Paris and then to Florence together with her partner she created one of the most popular literary salons in the city frequented by Canova Chateaubriand and many other famous artists of the time Louise commissioned the celebrated sculptor Antonio Canova to produce the monumental tomb in Santa Croce Donna Malin retired from Johnson & Johnson after an intense thirty-year career she has dedicated herself to mentoring and promoting the professional and personal development of women She was for several years vice president of Women in Need a nonprofit organization that helps homeless women and children in New York to rebuild their lives and to break the cycle of homelessness Donna first visited Florence as a teenager and fell in love with the city she returned annually and now resides there for several months each year In 2014 she began to follow the activities of the Opera di Santa Croce supporting various restoration projects (the tombs of Michelangelo and that of Machiavelli the funeral monument to Louise of Stolberg-Gedern) She also financed a publication entitled

the wife of the last heir of the Stuart dynasty and companion of Vittorio Alfieri was made possible thanks to the support of Donna Malin a generous American benefactor deeply connected to Florence and the monumental complex of Santa Croce.During the presentation of the restoration speakers included secretary general of the Opera di Santa Croce Stefano Filipponi who led the intervention with Emanuela Pieretti and donor Donna Malin.Louisa Stolberg Gedern’s monument is an integral part of the Santa Croce in rosa itinerary designed to enhance the memory of courageous and innovative women intellectuals or artists who rest or are commemorated within the monumental complex gifted with intelligence and determination lived an intense existence marked by an exceptional independence for her time In 1772 she was chosen as the bride of Charles Edward Stuart whom the Jacobites considered the true heir to the throne of England but already after two years the marriage entered a crisis: Charles Edward took refuge in alcohol and proved violent toward his wife to the point of being accused of attempted murder The Countess of Albany sought help from Grand Duke Peter Leopold and his brother-in-law with the legal support of Gustav III of Sweden and was able to secure an important economic income for herself His meeting with Vittorio Alfieri in Florence in 1777 profoundly marked his life The poet himself described Louisa as a source of inspiration and support for his literary life where the countess became the soul of an influential cultural circle frequented by such illustrious personalities as Jacques-Louis David settling in Palazzo Gianfigliazzi on the Lungarno Corsini Here Luisa gave life to one of the city’s most renowned literary salons a meeting place for the greatest European intellectuals of the time the countess worked to have him buried in Santa Croce commissioning Antonio Canova to create the poet’s funeral monument Donna Malin had a special

personal and professional development of women and was vice president of the nonprofit organization Women in Need which provides support to homeless women and children in New York She discovered Florence as a teenager and has returned there every year since she has been supporting restoration projects promoted by the Opera di Santa Croce including the #CrazyForPazzi crowdfunding campaign the recovery of the tombs of Michelangelo and Machiavelli and recently the restoration of Louisa Stolberg Gedern’s memorial The countess’s funeral monument was commissioned by the painter François-Xavier Fabre Louisa’s close friend and universal heir based on a design by the French architect Charles Percier with the contribution of Luigi Giovannozzi for the ornamentation The work was placed in the Castellani Chapel in 1830 the monument is developed within a finely carved and decorated 15th-century architectural frame stand on either side of a cippus on which the three theological virtues a winged hourglass symbolizes the inexorable passage of time Engraved in the lunette of the upper arch are the coats of arms of the Stolberg and Stuart families On the floor next to the monument is the tombstone the monument has suffered damage and dirt accumulation over time Despite the cleaning carried out after the disastrous event significant mud deposits were still present while the three marble slabs of the basement appeared to be covered with an abundant layer of wax The restoration involved a thorough cleaning operation carried out in several stages bringing to light the original surfaces and respecting the original color scheme of the various Apuan marbles used white spirit and scalpel were used to remove the accumulated dirt This website is using a security service to

crest” on the monument shows two mirrored It is from the Gedern coat of arms and is also featured on the flag of Gedern a strong interest developed among Columbia residents to form a sister city relationship with a city in Germany discovered this historical connection of Columbia to Wernings and proposed forming a sister city relationship with each other The partnership between Columbia and Gedern was formally signed in 1993 by Bürgermeister Rainer Schwartz of Gedern and Mayor Lester Schneider of Columbia.  Columbia Mayor John Coats was also active in the initial stages of the partnership Regular adult and student exchanges have taken place between the cities since then The commemoration last Sunday was planned to coincide with the same date in 1842 when 156 citizens from Wernings Germany – at the time a small settlement on the outskirts of Gedern – departed for the United States The 1842 immigration was prompted by decades of hard economic times in Germany encouraged residents to think about immigrating to America The residents in Wernings and some from neighboring communities gathered and voted to immigrate and departed on Monday Ten descendants of those original immigrants were present for the Sept One of those attending the ceremony was Rich Binder a direct descendant of three families that arrived here from Wernings – Acker “These families formed the foundation needed for the growth of Columbia Another descendant in attendance was Pastor Ivan Horn “Our early Hergenroeder ancestors are buried at Martini Cemetery and were part of the group coming to America in 1842 from Germany,” he said The dedication was also originally planned to coincide with an official visit from a delegation from Gedern but the visit was postponed until September 2022 due to COVID-19.  Sister cities member John Conrad provided a recap of the event which started with the playing of the national anthems of both the United States and Germany.  She welcomed the Wernings descendants as special guests as well as other sister cities members and city officials including Columbia Mayor Bob Hill and Alderman Mary Ellen Niemietz.    “We would like to welcome as special guests the descendants of those brave immigrants who left their homeland of Wernings We also want to welcome the exchange student from Gedern attending Columbia High School,” said Soraghan.  The proceedings were also live-streamed on Facebook to allow Gedern residents to watch the event “Many heartfelt greetings to our friends in Gedern,” Soraghan said in welcoming the virtual German guests “We are happy that you can participate in this dedication There is no distance in our hearts – you will always be close to us.” Soraghan explained that “the monument you see before you was the gift from Gedern Verschwisterungsverein (Gedern Sister Cities) given to us in honor of the 25th anniversary of our partnership which we celebrated during our official visit to Gedern two years ago.”  Soraghan recognized the ongoing community support of the sister cities partnership The monument was installed by the city’s maintenance department and constructed by Hill Monument Co on a granite base provided and donated by Luhr Bros. Shipping was provided and donated by XPO Logistics through the effort of Bob and Jeff Riebeling Volz unveiled the monument as the Gedern representative and she was flanked by a banner with the surnames of some of the original immigrants and their descendants Those names were researched by genealogist Mary Ellen Huetsch of Waterloo who also identified the descendant families Huetsch has been doing research on the Wernings immigration and will soon be publishing a book on her findings titled “1842 Wernings Immigrants Arrive in the U.S.A – A Follow-up of Those Brave Germans and  Their Descendants.” The book is a quasi-sequel to Yvonne Schaefer’s 1992 book titled “1842 Wernings Emigrants.”  While Schaefer wrote about the journey to America Huetsch is chronicling what happened during and after the arrival Huetsch said newspapers have been the most useful source during her research She noted that obituaries of the era were especially helpful as many included details of immigrants’ voyages across the ocean.  She has the Waterloo Republican and the Waterloo Advocate listed in her book’s bibliography also used various local and regional history books ship arrival records and church records to discover the families’ post-immigration histories.  Huetsch presented some of her findings during the monument dedication She revealed details about the immigrant families and the possessions they brought with them noting that a considerable quantity of the popular liquor was aboard the immigrants’ ship named the “Mimer.” Shortly after the immigrants from Wernings left their homes in 1842 the houses were dismantled and the land turned into pastures.  All that had remained were the ruins of the local church but the Wernings immigrants brought a lasting legacy to Monroe County The Trout Crest Monument is located near the east entrance of Columbia City Hall at 208 S GKN Fokker has awarded a significant contract to Asco Industries* to provide complex structural parts for a business jet program Asco will manage the manufacturing and surface treatments of these components at its state-of-the-art and highly integrated facilities located in Gedern are part of the elevator system positioned within the aircraft's empennage Asco is one of the world leaders in the development and manufacturing of complex ready-to-install high-lift mechanisms for aircraft supplying renowned Tier-1 suppliers and OEMs directly GKN Fokker turned to Asco to successfully industrialize highly complex structural components in a short timeframe The Asco Gedern team had established the entire process development and completed a flawless first-time right production of these highly complex parts The contract signing ceremony witnessed the presence of key persons including Arjen Landman Chief Executive Officer of Asco Industries Senior Vice President of GKN Fokker stated "This agreement will contribute to a European supply chain network for this program We know ASCO as a world class supplier of high lift structures and components We look forward to strengthening our partnership together on this program."

students from Gedern The partnership between Gedern and Columbia allows Columbia High School students to visit Germany in even-numbered years and Gesamtschule Gedern students to visit America during odd-numbered years.  “We think this is the best exchange program you can find worldwide,” English teacher Andreas Heuser said.  the students arrived March 28 with a Columbia Police Department and Columbia Fire Department escort.  The Republic-Times spoke with the students Friday.  So far they had done a number of activities, such as going to a St. Louis Cardinals game, jumping Sky Zone Trampoline Park in St visiting the Federal Reserve Museum and St They also had more everyday experiences like attending school going to a Columbia City Council meeting and spending time with their host families Those experiences should have helped the students accomplish their goal for coming to America.  “I always wanted to go to America,” Nina Ahlig said.  “I wanted to experience American culture and how they live here,” Sophie Schild agreed.  the students had a variety of favorite activities.  which the students do not have in Germany.  “I liked the dresses and that we all danced,” Schild said.  students must take a dancing class to participate in something like the prom and even then it is not through the school.  their favorite activity was not related to a specific place.  Marlon Mohr said he enjoyed shopping for clothes.  her favorite part of the trip was not an activity at all it wasn’t a field trip or anything,” Johanna Kempel said “I think my favorite part was my host family.”  The students still had a few days on their trip so their highlight could have changed.  They said they had more trips planned that they were looking forward to.  “We are going to Chicago,” Viktorika Lofink said excitedly.  A group of students also took a trip to Springfield to go camping and see the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.  Although they still had those trips to look forward to students were already satisfied with their American exposure A few are considering staying for a year in Columbia a common sentiment among the Gedern groups.  They also plan to encourage others to participate in the program.  “I think I would tell my friends all about our fun experience,” Tim-Luca Hofmann said.  The group also praised CHS for its part in the program.  “It’s great that Columbia High School offers such an opportunity,” Lofink said Police are investigating after several unlocked vehicles were unlawfully entered early Monday morning in Columbia and one such vehicle was stolen The areas hit by multiple suspects sometime between 4 and 4:30 a.m. Wilson Hills and Briar Lake subdivisions off Rueck and Quarry roads It is believed 8-10 unlocked vehicles were entered with mostly loose change taken in addition to a purse and wallet One unlocked garage was entered with two unlocked vehicles inside rummaged through A key was left in an

Polish first division side  Widzew Lodz Movers set for July 19th in Bad Nauheim The traditional club is four-time Polish Champion winners of the Polish Cup and Polish Super Cup Despite pushback from two aldermen and a resident of Gedern Village the Columbia City Council approved a community unit plan for a proposed condominium development along the 1700 block of Ghent Road during its Nov the council approved the overlay plan for North Point Villas a 41-unit phased development which includes variances in street width and setback requirements Ward IV Alderman Steve Holtkamp and Ward III Alderman Jeff Huch voted against the community unit plan Gregory Grohman spoke during the public input portion of the meeting in opposition to the condo development.  He said he was speaking as a 22-year resident of Gedern Village not as an official representative of the subdivision but added he had spoken with other residents in the area who shared his concerns is a little bit problematic because calling it a condominium development is not the same as calling it a residential subdivision,” Grohman began explaining the distinction could allow developers to build anywhere within a “building area” and not in prescribed lots as required with subdivisions “We’re concerned about the juxtaposition to the front three lots of our subdivision because (the proposed building areas) back right up to them,” Grohman continued He also expressed concern with the number of structures allowed in the proposed “cluster development” and how it might affect the aesthetics of the northern entrance to Columbia as motorists enter on Route 3 from I-255 “You’re going to come into the City of Columbia and you’re going to look off to your left through your windshield and you’re going to see houses on top of each other,” Grohman said.  “I just want (the city council) to understand we’re concerned with the appearance on the city and we want things to look consistent with the rest of northern Columbia,” he concluded Holtkamp recapped comments he made during the Nov “I do want to reiterate my thoughts on the fact that the zoning is not being met at all in the subdivision,” Holkamp said He also said he was contacted by residents in response to an article in the Nov I think we need to have the owner reconsider some of these issues Huch asked a representative of Sunset Ridge Enterprises the development company for North Point Villas what benefit the city has by approving the community unit plan The representative explained the cluster development design contains the same amount of buildings as would a development following city guidelines but the perimeter of the housing area would be “pushed out further” and more land grading would be required Columbia Building Official Justin Osterhage also added improvement plans would be submitted prior to final plat approval the council approved an ordinance establishing city employee guidelines regarding paid leave accrual to conform to the recently passed Illinois Paid Leave for All Workers Act which goes into effect Jan Columbia City Administrator Doug Brimm explained the law has been interpreted to allow municipalities to pre-empt the act by setting their own ordinances before the new year The main change will allow paid leave accrual before a full year of employment at a rate of 1.54 hours per week with a maximum of 80 hours of accrual in the first four years of employment City Attorney Terry Bruckert spoke negatively about the new law saying many members of the Illinois Municipal League as well as private businesses were upset at what is being perceived as union lobbyists “digging in” to create a law which will hurt employers.  Bruckert also expressed displeasure at the fact municipalities were not exempt from the new law He explained the passage of the new paid leave ordinance in Columbia is “the best way to amend our rules so the two laws coincide and the taxpayers don’t get hammered in the process,” adding he expects modifications in the next few years regarding seasonal employees there was a discussion about amending city code to provide official guidelines for “mobile  vendors.”  The three proposed amendments would repeal and replace the existing “food truck” licensing language using the term “mobile vendor” and establish development standards for mobile vending business “parks” and rules for vending “premises” in Columbia The draft ordinance was created in response to the increased popularity of food trucks and other mobile vending businesses according to the agenda item report.  The report also states “recent interest in developing a mobile vending park in conjunction with an entertainment venue.” The city code would also need to be amended to include a section establishing use of a structure as an indoor entertainment venue in a BP-2 business park zone While the city currently has “food truck” regulations there are no guidelines regulating a possible “mobile vending park,” which would only be allowed in a BP-2 district per the current draft ordinance Osterhage also asked for guidance in drafting parking regulations for a mobile vending park or an indoor entertainment venue The topic will be discussed at a future council meeting.
