A memorial service in memory of dressage rider and national team trainer Jonny Hilberath was held on 24 March 2025 in the show jumping hall of the German Equestrian Olympic Committee (DOKR) and companions from all over Germany gathered to remember Jonny Dennis Peiler began by reflecting on Hilberath's life who transformed himself from "a boy in rubber boots" to an internationally renowned and popular dressage rider and trainer Peiler painted a picture of a man who loved horses and lived for them pursuing his passion with endless diligence and great dedication yet always remaining down-to-earth and humble Jonny Hilberath participated in five Olympic Games as a coach the last four of which were in function of the DOKR First as co-coach to German team trainer Holger Schmezer who died in 2012 and whose role he briefly took over in London then again as co-coach to the current national team trainer Monica Theodorescu she described Jonny as someone who was "called" to train horses and riders and who helped anyone who wanted help to improve She also recalled the shows they attended together She particularly emphasized their "common wavelength" and great mutual trust Olympic champion Jessica von Bredow-Werndl benefit from Hilberath's expertise for 14 years She thought about what the trainer would have wanted to pass on to the mourners – not just for riding She named three points: "True control comes from letting go," "strengthening strengths" – that is accepting what is there and not focusing on what is missing and "friendship." "If he was friends with someone he was always there when things weren't going so well," she said The final speech was delivered by team veterinarian Dr conveyed the thanks of his partner Annika to everyone She expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of sympathy and the touching letters she had received upon his death Jonny was a true friend; we always had a lot of fun Jonny was also always very curious about the medical background and the mechanics of movement," said Koene thus once again highlighting Hilberath's all-encompassing interest in horses The memorial service was accompanied by pieces by jazz and soul musicians Gregory Porter and Nora Jones everyone rose from their seats in honour of Hilberath before saying a final farewell at his picture Related LinksIn Memoriam: Jonny

forget what you said but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou Fun fact:  Traveled to South Africa with my sisters to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday Best part of Norwell: Supportive community that values our schools Voters biggest concern: I think voters in Norwell expect high quality education but also want controlled spending The challenge facing the Norwell School Committee is to best meet that expectation while also implementing the new federal and state requirements Reason for seeking office: I have been a member of the School Committee for seven years and have served as the chairperson for the past five years I am the best candidate for Norwell School Committee because my experience have allowed for thoughtful and strategic budget planning to ensure that Norwell keeps pace Norwell is a special community and I am proud to live here I am just as passionate and enthusiastic about this job now as when I began seven years ago I am committed to continuing to protect and advocate for all of our students and our community I hope to have the opportunity of representing Norwell for three more years I respectfully ask for your vote on May 17 Question 1: As Norwell Schools navigate the new instructional mandates and standardized tests what should be the School Committee's role in ensuring continued academic excellence After having served on the School Committee for seven years I can honestly say that it takes the commitment of the entire community to ensure the academic success of our students we have accomplished much educationally as a school system These accomplishments would not have been possible without the support of the community specifically in providing critical funding for the teachers technology and curriculum updates required to meet the demands of preparing our students for their future The School Committee’s role in ensuring academic excellent is advocacy the School Committee’s job is to review and determine the resources needed We then work for several months to develop and communicate the budget for Town Meeting to secure those resources we have secured the funding to update curriculum and the technology to implement it we review state test assessment results (MCAS) We analyze and benchmark our results against other high performing districts Parent and teacher feedback are vital in the communication process This year we have held multiple meetings on curriculum We have had administrators communicate on the state curriculum requirements and how Norwell is implementing these standards We have had teachers at all three levels present on how the implementation has been going in their classrooms We have also implemented a district-wide parent survey to get feedback on many issues We are so fortunate to be part of a community that takes pride in and supports its school system I realize the importance of providing value to our taxpayers and I have worked tirelessly to provide that value and continually improve our school system Question 2: Following the $2.3 million override in 2012 the School Committee told taxpayers it would limit budget increases to 3 percent until fiscal year 2016 How will you manage limited budget increases while still ensuring Norwell stays current with technology and other growing needs Securing the funding required to maintain Norwell’s high quality school system is the School Committee’s most important job Securing the town’s confidence in our budget is how we accomplish this As chair of the school committee for the past five years strategic planning went into creating a multi-year budget plan we established a cost-effective five-year textbook and technology plan to meet the required curriculum changes and mandates We have been very strategic and disciplined in implementing those plans Teachers are essential in providing our children with a high quality education we are well positioned to meet the needs of our current enrollment We are staffed to maintain level services and programming As the larger classes move through the school system we will be able to shift teaching resources to the areas with the highest demand we have a professional and respectful relationship with the school unions and that has allowed us to negotiate contracts that contain long-term cost-saving solutions to both health care and salary expenditures that benefit the town and are fair to employees We have been aggressively pursuing efficiencies and negotiating favorable contracts we entered into a solar power contract that has led to significant cost savings in electricity collaborative working relationship with the town This productive relationship is key to creating an overall town budget that maintains our high quality school system delivers quality services and stays within Proposition 2 ½ I realize the importance of maintaining a high quality school system while providing value to our taxpayers and I have worked tirelessly to provide both Hans Kluck unveiling the memorial stone in 1970 An English translation of the inscription (which comes from Lamentations 1:16) in part: Over these things I weep/ My eyes run with water/ Because Menachem is far from me In the early postwar years in the German town of Warendorf no one contributed as much to facing the difficult past as Hugo Spiegel And his story tells us something important about how German communities confronted their history The central insight is that a country can’t face up to its past alone Germans needed help from Jews who came back to their hometowns after the war who was born in the nearby town of Versmold in 1905 a typical profession of rural German Jews into the 20th century Well-liked and respected by both Jews and Christians in Warendorf and the countryside around it even with the intensification of antisemitism after the Nazis seized power in 1933 But the violence and destruction of Kristallnacht convinced Spiegel that Jews had no home in Germany His wife Ruth and son Paul escaped and survived by hiding in a village in Belgium.) Miraculously and Auschwitz—the infamous camp where the Nazis ultimately took the life of his daughter when she was just 11 years old There are many remarkable stories of survival We read fewer accounts of those who survived the Holocaust and then came back to their local communities in Germany with Hugo Spiegel starting his cattle trading business once again Hugo Spiegel as “Champion Shot” by Leonard Freed Warendorf 1961 – 1962; Jewish Museum Berlin 2006/198/3 Courtesy of Jewish Museum Berlin It would be easy to tell the story of how Spiegel’s postwar Warendorf chose to shut its eyes to the events of the Nazi period especially in the first decades after the war Yet in my research about how small towns in Germany eventually confronted the recent past I have found that there is another story too and of Jews and Germans eventually working together to commemorate the past The road to cooperation was a difficult one not everyone was happy about the Spiegels’ return Hugo Spiegel did not shy from noting who had been a malicious Nazi and who not—and he had to fight tenaciously for years for the simplest commemorative gestures Spiegel proposed to erect a stone that listed the names of the Jews who had been buried in the local cemetery which local Nazis had destroyed in November 1938 he suggested establishing a memorial stone to recall “the Warendorf members of the Jewish community who died in the concentration camps.” For reasons difficult to discern and began working towards a memorial to both the Jews who lay in the Warendorf cemetery and those “who died in the years 1933 to 1945.” Warendorf finally accepted the proposal in 1968 a quarter century after the end of the war but early for such commemorations generally with the mayor and Hugo Spiegel assuming center stage at the ceremony There were not many Jews like the Spiegels who came back to make their homes in the very towns where locals had jeered and howled with approval when the Nazis destroyed and desecrated synagogues The Spiegels certainly remembered how Hitler’s stormtroopers wrecked the small synagogue on Freckenhorster Street Most of the more than 200,000 Jews still alive in Germany when the Nazi government capitulated in April 1945 were from Eastern Europe and by 1950 the vast majority of them had left the displaced person camps for the United States Only around 25,000 Jews remained in West Germany Most were German-speaking and chose to live in big cities Fewer returned to their erstwhile small towns and in the general vicinity of Warendorf they probably numbered not more than a few hundred where he ensured that the synagogue was commemorated early on; and Hans Frankenthal only to encounter a much more recalcitrant community in which old Nazis quickly occupied key positions and confidently told returning Jews But if we go beyond these noteworthy if infrequent cases of genuine returnees we see that many Jews came back to visit hometowns in order to honor deceased parents and grandparents who died (one wants to say fortunately) before the horrors of the Holocaust began As air travel became affordable in the 1970s And their first stop was typically the local cemetery there were still some 1,700 Jewish cemeteries in Germany In the 12 years after their seizure of power Nazis desecrated or destroyed at least 80 percent of them Germany remained the home of over a thousand Jewish cemeteries their cracked and broken stones overgrown with weeds and brush and ill-tempered and inebriated teenagers knew of them and perpetrated hundreds of desecrations between 1945 and 1999 They desecrated some Jewish cemeteries numerous times—the cemetery in the small village of Randegg near Lake Constance in 1945 Yet it was precisely when returning Jews gathered the courage to complain about the state of the cemetery in their home town or to ask why there was no plaque or sign stating what had occurred during Kristallnacht that something began to move among local people This was often the moment that the work of commemoration began The local movers and shakers who sought to recognize the past were of different ages and occupations archivists working in a tiny office in the town hall retired mayors and their wives who had time on their hands and people who knew the Jews or family members who had come back Not a few Bavarians who reached out to returning Jews supported the Christian Socialist Union one of Germany’s most conservative parties I have used this map to track when these communities put up a sign near the cemetery that told of the fate of the local Jews during the Holocaust or a plaque noting where a synagogue once stood The timelines show activity in the late ’40s (right after the Holocaust) an uptick in the second half of that decade In the midst of this commemorative explosion and was buried in the very Jewish cemetery he had spent so many years trying to reconstitute largely on the initiative of its private citizens the town erected a memorial stone for the synagogue and for the “Jewish citizens expelled and murdered.” Caught up in what was now Germany’s pervasive culture of remembrance Warendorf also renamed the small side-street leading to the synagogue “Hugo-Spiegel-Strasse.” Historians sometimes attribute the impetus for these acts of remembrance to the famous trials (especially the Eichmann and the Auschwitz trials of the early ’60s) and I rarely read of local activists—those school teachers and retirees—who mention being inspired by the miniseries (though some invoke the trials) the fortuitous occurrence of German-Jewish cooperation Sometimes an organization was behind it—the Society for Christian-Jewish Cooperation it was a Jewish émigré or survivor coming back colloquially known as the Spielberg Archive has many such stories of return (indexed as “post-conflict visits”) including testimonies of some German Jews who rejected such visits and who simply could not fathom why others would want to go back and visit German-Jewish contacts increased in the ’80s and ’90s as scores of towns and small cities began to stage so-called “visitor weeks.” Large cities and Hanover had been staging them since the ’60s asking hundreds and hundreds of Jews to return In the last two decades of the 20th century now living across the globe—from Buenos Aries to Pasadena from Tel Aviv to Paris—back to their home towns in Germany For a whole week Germans and Jews talked about what had occurred Visiting Jews also got up and gave speeches Germans and Jews who were once neighbors looked at old pictures putting together the shards of what was once a genuine community Photos and transcripts of the proceedings were published in the local newspaper If we can believe newspaper interviews and follow-up statements most Jews were glad they went back to their German hometowns just as the Germans in those towns were proud of the steps that their local communities had taken Often after one town had its “visitor week,” other communities in the region soon followed No longer was the history of town X or Hamlet Y thinkable without the Jews who once lived there national developments that pushed Germans to enter into their history more truthfully: country-wide essay contests on the subject of Germany and its past; the galvanizing effect of a president and sensitive words helped a nation think more deeply about its own history; the constant drum of prominent politicians and historians reflecting on an “unmasterable past”; and another infamous anniversary in 1988 marking 50 years since the November Pogrom such as the History Workshop (Geschichtswerkstatt) urging communities to look more critically at their Nazi past a good history of how Germans faced their past will show the constant feedback between the local and the national it will do more than that—for Germany’s past was hardly its own The turn to an honest telling of the German past had long been a transnational undertaking with foreign eyes observing it with keen interest for decades The story of Hugo Spiegel and his family is instructive His son Paul did not follow his father into the business of cattle trading but instead became a writer for the Jüdische Allgemeine one of the most important Jewish newspapers in Germany Paul Spiegel would become a major figure in the Central Council of Jews in Germany he also helped found an organization against xenophobia V.M The name translates as: “Show your Face: For a Germany Open to the World.” The people of Warendorf evidently approved and transnational—that we could learn from this German-Jewish story: the importance of community work and the crucial role that local schoolteachers and preservationists may well play in the great transformations of a nation’s memory After reading literally hundreds of accounts of towns from Bavaria and Baden in the south to Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein in the north I am especially impressed by the patience of these local actors For it is they who put in the many years of work that often went into convincing town councils to repair a cemetery rename a street for a famous Jewish son or daughter or add a monument in the central square of a hometown that had once wronged its former citizens they would also be the first to admit that they had help and that the work of memory was not a German effort alone while tearing down hurtful monuments has its time the necessary if arduous road of putting up the right monuments—fixing the wording on plaques commemorating forgotten victims and unsung heroes—runs through communities Helmut Walser Smith is a historian at Vanderbilt University.

international annual photojournalism and documentary photography contest – World Press Photo (WPP) – has scaled back its exhibitions in China citing strict government regulations and the risks involved for the local organizers director of Exhibitions & Partnerships of the World Press Photo Foundation In response to a Times inquiry on the shrinking to almost zero of the number of exhibitions from this year’s event in most of Asia and China “World Press Photo is feeling the consequences of declining press freedom worldwide we’ve seen several incidents of governments restricting access or canceling exhibition[s] [such as] in Hanoi in 2022 and Budapest in 2023.” While noting that carrying out the annual exhibition in most locations in China carries the same risks “As World Press Photo is considered controversial in China and due to strict government regulations it is a challenge to find venues and partners who are willing to collaborate We are still committed to finding a partner to organize the annual show but we also realize there are risks involved for local organizers.” WPP also said that in China as well as Mongolia the organization is counting on the support of the Dutch embassy to carry out the “Resilience exhibition,” a separate thing from the WPP annual contest This exhibition focuses on stories of women inspiring change awarded in the annual WPP contest from 2000 to 2021 highlighting the resilience and challenges of women following the partnership with the Dutch embassies The same official also noted that for the usual 2024 WPP Contest exhibition the only location confirmed so far is Taipei This year marks the 67th WPP Contest which has selected the winning works from more than 61,000 entries from all over the world the last WPP exhibition in Macau which counted on the organizational support of the Casa de Portugal em Macau (Portuguese Association in Macau) was held in 2020 and came to an unexpected close in early October after just a few days the only city in Chinese territory to host such an exhibition which was considered particularly sensitive by some because it portrayed a story related to the social unrest in the region of Hong Kong

and co-owner of the hospital by the physical structure at our previous site.” when the end of a lease gave Warendorf and co-owner and fellow veterinarian Dr Kathryn Gorski the opportunity to design a new space they put their practical expertise to good use 9,500-square-foot facility opened its doors on Oct dwarfing their previous location on Old Derby Street which had about 2,000 square feet of useable space The original location allowed the clinic to see two patients at a time – adding up to about 1,100 transactions per month according to practice manager Nancy McAloon The new location allows for five patients to be seen simultaneously more than doubling the practice’s potential workload Warendorf said he ultimately expects to grow the practice’s current 25-person staff by 25 to 30 percent and expects the business to grow substantially Warendorf and Gorski have owned Old Derby Animal Hospital – which treats cats dogs and “pocket pets” such as ferrets and hamsters – since 1997 and the practice had existed in some form in the Old Derby Street location for about 40 years The tradition and clientele of the previous location – which had served as a house prior to becoming an animal clinic – factored heavily into the new hospital’s design From the residential-looking exterior to a homey room with a separate exit for pet owners considering euthanasia the new location is meant to give customers improved features while maintaining the coziness of the previous location the new facility provides all the high-tech implements of a modern clinic anesthetic systems and an anatomically specialized X-ray machine the new Old Derby provides enough space to board 42 cats and dogs – a service they call the “Inn at Old Derby.” The new space triples the number of animals the practice can board and provides those animals with luxurious new features including natural light larger rooms and flat-screen televisions tuned Warendorf said while the scope of the Old Derby practice has grown its mission remains the same: “We’re interested in establishing that bond with our clients behind the pets as well.” A.J.

The concentration, which was found again when a B sample was tested, was just over 38ng per millilitre of blood, compared with the international threshold for a cobalt positive of 25ng. Read more“The most probable explanation was that the horse was exposed to cobalt proximate to race,” the committee ruled but the question of who was responsible remains a mystery Kelly is in breach of the rules on the grounds of his general responsibility for his horses but as he had not previously been carpeted by the IHRB it was felt that a low-level fine was sufficient The verdict said: “Given certain unusual and specific aspects of the case they [the committee] accepted Mr Kelly’s assurance that he had not administered anything to the horse They did not find sufficient evidence to suspend the permit in the submissions before them.” The €1,000 fine was necessary because “reasonable precautions had not been taken by the handler to ensure that a breach did not occur” said on Tuesday night that Warendorf had been receiving a supplement containing cobalt which is not by itself against the rules and Kelly insisted the horse had last received the supplement on the evening before the race and the scientific evidence at the hearing was clear that the supplement could not therefore have delivered all the cobalt found in Warendorf’s blood Kelly could not be reached for comment on Tuesday

Everyone wants to stand out and be distinct. That is why every Warendorf kitchen is different than the next one and designed and configured according to the customer’s desires and demands”, CEO Michael Ray Albrecht told me when I met him in Berlin’s new shop yesterday. On a side note: he was responsible for several Louis Vuitton stores before he came to Warendorf. The Hamburg branch offers the same high standard in anything planning- or consulting-related.

Egan took issue with that remark and Gill responded: "It's probably disparaging to kangaroos to be straight up with you." Gill then left the room without further explanation of his comments "I absolutely refute it," Egan said of Gill's assertion Asked why an owner who had been through a referral process would feel the need to vent so angrily in public Egan responded: "I can't answer that It was an inappropriate forum to raise the issues but he obviously did what he did." Gill is of the opinion that the standard lithium heparin test tubes used by the IHRB contain the trace mineral cobalt in the bung of the tube and in the anticoagulant lining that is there to stop the blood clotting and therefore pose a threat of contamination He also believes the pre-analytic procedures in particular at point-to-points where only blood samples are taken Warendorf is the only point-to-point runner to have had a test for elevated levels of cobalt dealt with by the IHRB and it is understood that neither of the two pending cobalt-related cases are from that field When that observation was made to Gill on Thursday he said of the Warendorf case: "That's because of an extra occurrence that we know happened and reported to the IHRB It was a random event that happened and is peculiar to this case but we can't talk about it at this point." the IHRB's head of anti-doping Dr Lynn Hillyer was asked by James Griffin "We use internationally accredited sampling kits which have been tested within an inch of their life – obviously You can have complete confidence in the kits we use – there is no issue with them Gill formally informed the regulator of his resignation from his point-to-point duties on Tuesday He says he did so on "a matter of principle" as he has concerns about the IHRB's integrity Members can read the latest exclusive interviews news analysis and comment available from 6pm daily on racingpost.com Published on 27 September 2018inNews Copyright © 2025 Spotlight Sports Group Limited or its licensors Montag bis Freitag: 10.00 - 18.00 UhrSamstag: 10.00 - 16.00 Uhr AdresseWarendorfKurfürstendamm 6210707 Berlin-Charlottenburg.Anfahrt planen ...var cex1 = "U3RvcmUtYmVybGluQHdhcmVuZG9yZi5jb20=";var dex1 = atob(cex1);dex1 = decodeURIComponent(escape(dex1));jQuery(document).ready(function() {jQuery(".ex1").html(""+dex1+"");}); +49 30 8871 359 0.www.warendorf.com Es wäre aktuell nur ein Soft-Opening und der Laden wäre offiziell noch gar nicht eröffnet, sagte man mir. Danach sah es zwar nicht aus - stimmte hier doch bereits jetzt schon alles auf den Punkt - aber ich würde mit mehr Ruhe wieder kommen. Da mir die Firma Warendorf, so der Name des Geschäfts, kein Begriff war, forschte ich vor meinem zweiten Besuch im Internet. Bereits seit 1973 werden in Warendorf hochwertige Küchen gebaut – damals noch unter dem bekannten Namen ‚Miele - Die Küche‘. 2010 wurde dann im Zuge eines umfassenden Relaunches die Marke WARENDORF aus der Taufe gehoben. Mit 40 Jahren Erfahrung und höchsten Qualitätsansprüchen im Gepäck, wurde das Unternehmen in den letzten Jahren einer wahren Verjüngungskur unterzogen und ist nun endgültig zu einer ernsthaften Konkurrenz für Luxus-Küchen wie Boffi und Bulthaup geworden.  In die unzähligen Stilrichtungen bekomme ich einen Einblick, als ich später in aller Ruhe von Raum zu Raum wandere. Nicht jede einzelne Küche entspricht dabei meinem persönlichen Geschmack, aber jede ist in höchstem Maße in sich stimmig und edel. Und genau das ist auch die Idee. handverlesene Geheimtipps und einzigartige Reisen Bitte schicken Sie mir bis zum Widerruf meiner Einwilligung den Newsletter mit Informationen zu neuen Beiträgen.
