respected his students’ initiatives and skills especially after they got his keys out of his locked car Ralf remembered his students at Brooklands Collegiate as one of the most cohesive groups he ever taught because the students considered school as an integral if not the most important part of their community he went to Sturgeon Creek Collegiate where he discovered the great advantages a student gains in being exposed to both academic and vocational subjects and he wished that he had had similar opportunities in his youth But he enjoyed his last three years of teaching at John Taylor

pictures of the local sights as evidenced by the boxes and bins of pictures and slides he had He particularly loved going to mountainous areas to hike in the summer and ski in the winter One of his greatest delights was climbing to the top of the Zugspitze the tallest mountain peak (2950 m) in Germany He enjoyed skiing whether it was at ski resorts in Canada like Whistler and Banff or in the US at Aspen or Big Sky He was taught how to swim by a friend of his father’s who was a semi-professional water polo player and novelty items – surrounding himself with reminders of his travels when he

delayed his plane flight back to Los Angeles to spend time talking with Ralf but had been able to transfer the skills he had learned playing the accordion in his youth Many Christmas Eve celebrations featured Ralf playing the piano or accordion with Doug his father died in a hit and run car accident His mother and sister were the most influential women in his life She earned his undying respect

everyone as family spread across Canada and brought family together in her home and at her cottage There were three other significant women in his life Chryle who he met while sitting next to her on a plane going to Europe when he was 32 and Fran who he became acquainted with on a plane trip to Thompson while they were heading there to do a workshop for the Thompson Teachers’ Executive when he was

and staff gathered in the courtyard to congratulate the university’s first graduates It was a perfect occasion on a perfect day In 2009 first graduate Susan Bolado spoke with Sombrilla Magazine about the event that put her in UTSA’s history books and on the front page of San Antonio newspapers Bolado said she still had the newspaper clippings from that day “I got clippings from as far away as Tennessee,” she says But what she doesn’t have is the diploma that Flawn signed onstage “They didn’t give me that one,” she says “They kept that one that was signed and sent me another one.” with

archaeological finds beneath the Pontstrasse street You don’t often get the chance to glimpse almost two millennia of history without any filters remarked city planner Frauke Burgdorff onsite She was observing stone foundations rising from the ground with Dr Donata Kyritz of archaeological firm sk ArcheoConsult and municipal archaeologist Andreas Schaub Utility company Regionetz had commissioned the work as part of an infrastructure upgrade project we uncovered thick stone foundations that must be from the Roman era based on construction techniques The foundations stretched longitudinally several meters towards the marketplace A final course of ashlars was also discovered though the exact dimensions remain uncertain both horizontally and vertically about seven meters of the Roman wall have been uncovered revealing its minimum width is 90 centimeters many questions remain buried as archaeologists have yet to find the beginning and end points Schaub noted that a late Roman fort had long been suspected in this area but wasn’t confirmed until 2011 and 2014 when excavations took place After Aachen was destroyed by Franks around 275-276 AD the entire marketplace hill was fortified with over five-meter thick walls and round towers Comparable forts have been found in Jülich It is believed that Charlemagne later used the fort’s southern defensive walls as his palace foundations Experts theorize the newly uncovered remains may have been part of a fort gate The goal now is careful preservation of this significant archaeological discovery through ongoing discussions Excavations

the charm of cobblestone streets and historic buildings lies a hidden piece of history dating back nearly two millennia Recent excavations conducted as part of a construction project near Pontstrasse and Marktplatz have unveiled remnants of an ancient Roman defensive wall the discovered wall measures approximately 23 feet long and 3 feet wide City officials and archaeologists swiftly recognized the significance of the find attributing it to a larger fortification that once encircled Aachen’s Market Square expressed the profound historical significance of the discovery and Regionetz construction manager Ralf Jansen the team marveled at the ancient remnants protruding from the earth Andreas Schaub said: “For about 140 years a late Roman fortress was suspected in Aachen but it wasn’t until between 2011 and 2014 that it was possible to confirm this suspicion and locate the site.” The discovery not only confirms the existence of the ancient fortification but also provides crucial insights into its layout and significance in shaping the city’s development over centuries believed to have surrounded Aachen’s Market Square comprised a formidable wall over five meters wide offering protection and security to the city’s inhabitants This monumental structure endured for centuries until its eventual dismantlement in the 12th century Schaub added: “It is another fragment of our history from Roman times to the Middle Ages We know that this structure existed until the time of Charlemagne and beyond.” Indeed from its Roman origins to its prominence as the capital of Charlemagne’s empire leaving an indelible mark on the cityscape archaeologists hope to uncover more clues about the fortification’s extent and purpose piecing together the puzzle of Aachen’s past The goal is to preserve the current archaeological find as much as possible Intensive discussions are currently underway for this purpose After the assessment and documentation of the archaeological finds

State: NJ Transit worried Montclair-Boonton line walls will crumble More: 8-year-old transgender boy barred from Cub Scouts Halloween: Scouts 'Nightmare' attraction haunts New Milford this month Bill Kyritz of Paramus Troop 205 was less optimistic. "I don’t think it’s a great idea," Kyritz said. "When the kids go camping and stuff are you going to have boys and girls sleeping in the same cabin, sharing the same facility? It’s putting a lot on volunteer leaders to now deal with that kind of situation where you have young girls and young boys in the woods." Jonathan Lee Long, scoutmaster for Pack 192 in Wayne, said there will be some logistical issues. Wayne could have to double the amount of dens and leaders, Long said. "Also it should be considered that Wayne has a very strong Brownie and Girl Scout community," he said. "We personally know many devoted parents that dedicate countless hours offering an excellent program geared for girls. "I believe it's important for each family to review their options and decide what is personally best for them."  Whitefield says she doesn’t think the Boy Scouts’ announcement will affect Girl Scout membership, however. “There will always be a place for Girl Scouts,” Whitefield said. against Russian forcesThe United States has refused to discuss the delivery publicly but has quietly delivered a small number of long-range ballistic missiles to Ukraine.Cluster munitions from Russian production can be seen on the former military training area in Kyritz-Ruppiner Heide The ammunition salvage operation here primarily clears the outlawed cluster munitions on the ex-Bombodrom Cluster bombs are controversial and widely banned Vladimir Putin says Russia would drop cluster bombs against Ukraine Joe Biden announces $700 million of further military aid for Ukraine 4 min readPublished 18 October 2023 6:40am ShareGet SBS News daily and direct to your InboxSign up now for the latest news from Australia and around the world direct to your inbox.Your email address *Morning (Mon–Fri) You are using an outdated browser.
