her colleagues and her customers family isn’t just about those related by blood—it's about the family she’s built at work."I just love to be with family being around or surrounded by people that I love," Wiltz says the sense of family extends far beyond home "It’s just like another family out here," she adds referring to the close-knit relationships she’s formed with her coworkers over the years Wiltz says that while her positive attitude has made her a beloved figure at Joyce’s Supermarket There was a time when she didn’t think she’d ever be able to work again She recalls the moment that changed everything "He dragged himself all the way to my house because all I heard was 'May he was on the first step with his head down," she says Her father had fallen while trying to help her mother As both of her parents faced serious health challenges including her mother's diagnosis of dementia Mary made the decision to take two years off from work to care for them She remained by their side until they both passed away Wiltz shares that the period of caregiving was challenging but found solace in her family’s support great nieces and great nephews and everybody cares about me and they love me,” she reflects It was through this love and support that she eventually found the strength to return to work Every single one of them gave me a big hug,” she recalls with a smile Wiltz explains that the warmth of her coworkers made it clear that they the love she feels both at home and at work is what she says makes everything worthwhile “It’s the people that make you love the world and everything,” she says a sentiment that captures her approach to life I’m gonna stay here till I retire,” she adds Wiltz believes her dedication is a testament to resilience and the lasting impact of the people who lifted her up when she needed it most one of the longest tenured school directors in Pennsylvania Wiltz served on the Charleroi Area School School Board for 49 years “If you could say anybody was a true Cougar from the time he was in high school until now,” said Adele Hopkins a Charleroi school director for the last 22 years “He always put that first in his life mostly how to listen to people before you make your decisions “He taught me a lot about listening to people that it’s not as important to be heard as it is to listen,” Zelich said “Once you get that lesson and people know you care you can work together and achieve goals together He had 39 years of experience when I became superintendent There’s no one you can go to that has more knowledge.” Wiltz topped the Pennsylvania School Board Association’s 2023 honor roll for his years of service “He was always a leader,” said Pepper “He was one that people respected and looked to as part of the school district the taxpayers.’ These are not only large shoes to fill Director Elaine Pappesergi said she intended to serve a two-year term when elected but Wiltz convinced her to make a longer commitment “His strongest leadership skill was getting us to work as a cohesive unit,” she said “He enabled us to work together for the benefit of the students The students and staff always were the main concern in making our decisions We have top-notch educational and athletic facilities We have been blessed under his leadership to make sure our buildings and facilities and campuses are among the best around.” Serving as a school director for nearly a half-century was one example of his dedication not only to the district but to the community “He was truly dedicated and the public knew that,” Hopkins said “He was elected every time and usually led the ticket the taxpayers knew that he was there for them It’s quite a legacy for him that he did that You don’t find many people that put in that many years of dedication.” After graduating from Charleroi Area High School where he served as a military police officer in Vietnam where he graduated with a degree in secondary education Wiltz held the position of executive director of the Mon Valley YMCA for 37 years He was a youth coach for Charleroi baseball and basketball for many years and was a fixture at Charleroi sporting events “He was our biggest cheerleader no matter what it was about,” Hopkins said He was so proud of everything the school accomplished He was so connected to the community.” Ken Wiltz of Charleroi; four grandchildren; two

church community Vivian found peace and strength in her faith drawing inspiration from her beliefs that further fueled her capacity for kindness and generosity Her church family was an extension of her love for others embodying the compassion she shared with everyone she encountered One of Vivian's greatest joys was her time spent with her nieces and nephews as she nurtured the bonds that tied her family together Her generous nature and deep-rooted affection left an indelible mark on their hearts and created memories that will forever be treasured not just through the memories of her baked goods and spirited casino adventures but through the love she cultivated in her family and community She was a remarkable woman whose life was a testament to the power of love but lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her Peter Earl Wiltz and John Allen Wiltz (Lucretia); sister Blair Cordell Wiltz and John Victor Wiltz; niece Jenna Clair Wiltz; and five great nieces and nephews Pellerin Funeral Home of Breaux Bridge (337-332-2111) is in charge of arrangements Friends recalled his kind nature along with his love for the district A champion for his students — on the field in the classroom and as a veteran leader on the Charleroi Area school board — Wiltz bled red and black and was always sure to flash a contagious smile beaming with pride at every success for his students and those around him has left a lasting legacy within his community and all the lives he touched while wearing many hats over the years Wiltz graduated from Charleroi Area High School in 1962 He was drafted into the United States Army in 1965 and served as a military police officer in Vietnam from 196667 he returned home to start his career as an educator Wiltz graduated from Duquesne University with a degree in secondary education in 1972 with a concentration on social studies He began his professional career shaping young lives at Mon Valley YMCA a position he had for 37 years before passing the torch to current CEO Jeff Vitale in 2010 Wiltz helped to build the organization into what it is today and Vitale said the legacy he has left won’t be forgotten “He was here for 37 years as CEO and it was a truly monumental task to live up to,” Vitale said There was just something about him that set people at ease and calmed them down.” Vitale said with Wiltz at the helm of the organization “Looking back now at all he was able to accomplish his innate ability to bring people together and form these relationship he made impossible goals possible,” Vitale said it started out of a school bus on top of the hill and three different building projects no one knew how they would raise the money to make it happen but he made it happen no matter what he was up against.” Vitale said Wiltz’s willingness to help others is something he will be remembered for we’ve heard countless stories over the past few days about people commenting on what he meant to them and how he impacted them,” Vitale said “There were countless avenues he traveled to do that he just wanted to help as many people as he could Vitale said Wiltz was proud of what he created at the YMCA “I think that is something he was really proud of The number of lives he touched directly or even indirectly through the programs or services that started here under his watch He will not be forgotten anytime soon and we will certainly make sure he is not forgotten here.” His dedication to children led him to seek a seat in 1975 on the board of education Ed Zelich said Wiltz prided himself on setting an example for others “His wisdom and integrity made him a trusted figure within the district and beyond,” Zelich said always striving for excellence and inspiring others to do the same Ken commanded respect through his decisiveness and clear sense of authority His balanced approach earned him admiration from his colleagues and the entire learning community particularly his ability to maintain the students’ spirit while ensuring fiscal responsibility.” And it was always comforting to me to know that I could always trust that whatever decision he and the board made would be in the best interest of students but when you refocus the problems back to make them about students which is what Ken did and led others to do but he would want us to shine and work together to continue to build this community and that is what we are going to do in honor of him.” Adele Hopkins and Elaine Pappasergi were elected to the school board in 2003 and spent 22 years serving alongside Wiltz “I have always had such a deep respect for him,” Hopkins said “That is because he always had the students it was all about doing what is best for the school and his students I always came to listen to his understanding He was a smart man and was always there for all of the right reasons.” Hopkins sat next to him as vice president for many years “I remember the first meeting after I was elected the first thing we did was make him president and he has been ever since,” she said There was nothing he would not do to support those kids Hopkins said while they had different leadership styles sometimes “I think a lot of people learned a lot of things from Ken Pappasergi called serving alongside Wiltz a privilege “It was just such a privilege and honor to sit on that board with him,” she said “I’m so heartbroken and it will take everyone a long time to absorb this loss but he also wanted to make sure the teachers and taxpayers were taken care of.” Pappasergi said Wiltz led longer than most “He made sure we all worked together cohesively,” she said “That was the best thing he could have ever done to make sure the decisions we made as a group always came back to putting the kids Barb Pepper has served on the board since 2013 and was a tenured teacher in the district She is currently the board’s vice president Pepper believes the type of man Wiltz embodied is hard to find So it’s just a very emotional time for us all right now He would have done anything he could to make sure he saw them become the best people they could be.” Pepper said he had an “aura” about him that carried light with him no matter where he went “There is a lot of life we have experienced together but I am just so very honored to have been a part of his life because he truly made the school my life and so many lives him around him better.” Board member Tom Nutting said Wiltz was his favorite “cousin-inlaw.” but I just loved him dearly,” Nutting said and he received so much respect from everyone who knew him He was the backbone of our district and such a good leader.” He was asked by Wiltz to join the board for a two-year term several years ago Nutting and Wiltz spent time together at St Andrew the Apostle Parish’s annual Festival of Nations and at Dee’s Event Center in Charleroi to organize school supplies that were distributed to students this week Nutting said he and Wiltz had an interaction he believes will stand the test of time They left the event center to get coffee and refreshments for volunteers you are my goombah,’ and we put our arms around each other and he told me I was his goombah too.” Goombah is a nickname for a close friend or associate especially used among Italian-American men but looking back now I am so thankful for it,” Nutting said “It’s so fresh in my mind and it’s really all I can think about so many minutes over the course of so many years Former Charleroi Area Solicitor Todd Pappasergi was taught by Wiltz as a young athlete “It’s a devastating loss to the community because he was a champion of anyone who came out of Charleroi.” Wiltz’s legacy will transcend municipal lines “If you want to talk about someone who not only bled red and black but really of the colors of the Mon Valley Wiltz’s commitment to service extended beyond the school district He was a longtime youth coach for Charleroi baseball and basketball and was an avid fan of Charleroi football A lifelong member of the Charleroi Community Park Trustees Wiltz had his name added in April to a sign leading to Veterans Memorial Baseball Field in Charleroi as a thank you for his volunteer work that helped keep the facility up and running the late Ron Monack’s name was added to a plaque leading in to the facility Wiltz also saw his name on the plaque when it was revealed Wiltz had been on the board since 1970 and was the longest current serving member on the board Trustees Chairman Mark Alterici also learned the ropes from Wiltz and has considered it a privilege to work with him over the years “I have had a long-term relationship with Ken from a child playing baseball to serving on the trustees with him,” Alterici said being able to serve with him and learn from him He truly gave more to the community than most He was one of the original guys down there cutting grass who laid the foundation for the trustees and what we have now.” a lot of organizations would have been worse off the park would not be what it is today,” Alterici said “I think I can speak for the entire board when I say it was an honor to have him but we were so happy to be able to honor him and are very thankful he was there to see that the Charleroi Masonic Lodge and Mon Valley Country Club and served on the board of directors for SPHS Mon Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Washington-Greene County Job Training Agency He was also a dedicated volunteer for Meals on Wheels and a strong supporter of the Charleroi Area Education Foundation John LaCarte got involved in many organizations because of the dedication he learned from Wiltz It started when LaCarte was chosen as student representative to the CASD board of directors as a junior in 1983 “Ken was a tremendous cheerleader in my life “He always made it a point to talk about my experiences in college and my career Many of the boards I serve on now is largely in part because of Ken There was truly no bigger advocate for the Mon Valley always making a difference and he made me want to make a difference too.” Wiltz had a way to find compromise that was unmatched on various boards with various personalities all coming from different perspectives,” LaCarte said “He was never going to come on a board to serve without making sure the right thing was done I have a learned a lot from his emotional intelligence skills it’s one of the many things he taught me.” Washington County Judge Mike Lucas also learned from Wiltz positive and always a problem solver,” Lucas said “I saw first hand his ability to manage a meeting or reconcile with people who might be upset because he always listened and heard people out He was a problem solver and there are not many people like him.” It could be said Wiltz never met someone he wasn’t friends with He filled a role as a fatherly figure in so many of the lives he has shaped but to everyone who knew him his family came above anything else A lifelong resident of the Charleroi Area School District Kendra (Class of 2000) and Kenny (Class of 2002) He was a proud grandfather to four grandchildren who is a current Charleroi Area School District student Vitale said Wiltz put his family above all else “He would want to be remembered for that above anything else.” LaCarte said he admired the relationship he had with his wife “You never saw one without the other,” LaCarte said He also said Wiltz was in the prime of his life “I can only imagine what a wonderful grandfather he was he found a balance to always come home to be with them

valley The commune is working on revitalisation and over the next ten years at least 4,700 new residents could move to Wiltz with the goal to increase purchasing power: “We do believe that we will grow from 8,500 to 13,000 inhabitants with the projects currently known I'm not talking about potential other projects just those already known and actively in development This would mean that from today's approximately €76 million in potential purchasing power where a policlinic and medical centre are to be built the main road is being turned into a so-called 'shared space' for both pedestrians and cars we have also developed a strategic framework from the commune through which we will support those working in commerce and hospitality including with lower rents or other means to accommodate them." For instance, cafés, and restaurants will be granted terrace space by the commune. In recent years, the commune has also purchased no fewer than 14 houses and a hotel, which are gradually being renovated – projects under the 'Pacte Logement' scheme "The lower floors will become retail space while the upper floors will be turned into housing units It makes little sense to compete with the Pommerlach commercial zone which offers 32,000m² of retail space compared to just 9,000m² in lower Wiltz Bob Wetzel sees opportunities mainly in sectors the Germans refer to as "basic provision" – including food and personal care – but notes that retail expansion beyond these areas faces tough challenges "Our latest study confirms that competition from nearby shopping centres is fierce" adding that only niche businesses stand a real chance of success though such shops do still emerge from time to time the centre of Wiltz is expected to be restructured and filled with life once again Christina Mathieu says she is already seeing some business picking up "If the main street becomes more attractive and has more shops it’s a bit sad – you're fighting against something You can really feel that more and more is happening." the area around the train station is also set for a complete transformation Right next to the entrance to the new neighbourhood 'Living with the Wiltz' new shops and a park-and-ride facility will be created – where several thousand people already take the train daily will run directly via Ettelbruck and Mersch to the capital – the local politicians' hopeful vision You are using an outdated browser.

The American St. Nick tells the remarkable true story of a handful of American soldiers who during the chaos of war, help bring Christmas back a small Luxembourg town, and unknowingly create a holiday tradition that continues to this very day! Hearing this, Corporal Harry Stutz gets an idea. He gathers some fellow soldiers and together they organize a Christmas party for the children, a party that will include a special visit from St. Nicolas himself, thanks to a reluctant Corporal Richard Brookins. Wearing the mass robes of the local priest and a crudely fashioned rope beard to complete the costume, St. Nicolas rides through town on an Army jeep, stopping to meet the children and passing out treats baked by the Army cooks or donated from the soldier’s care packages from home. Later the celebration continues with a party for all the children at the Wiltz Castle. It is a wonderful day for the children of Wiltz and for the American soldiers as well. An amazing TRUE story of war, honor, luck and love, The American St. Nick is a thrilling and heart-warming holiday classic packed full of incredible details that will amaze, entertain and delight.

summer few may realise that the global fast-food chain has a Luxembourger to thank for creating one of its most-loved products: chicken nuggets.René Arend a native of Wiltz who trained as a chef in

I was doing for the rich." It took between 14 and 16 months of tests to perfect the product it wasn't until 1983 that nuggets were officially added to the menu in the United States The nuggets became available internationally the following year particularly in the Grand Duchy and Germany following the takeover of the area's two sites by the Kuwaiti group Q8 Arend stepped down as executive chef in 2004 leaving behind one of the world's most popular recipes History books may only remember the name René Arend but the source of inspiration for the Luxembourg chef was Robert C It was this American professor who invented the concept of the nugget in the 1960s in his laboratory at Cornell University Baker and his student Joseph Marshall created a recipe that enabled nuggets to survive both freezing and frying Baker did not patent his recipe for chicken nuggets instead mailing it to hundreds of companies who opted for the chicken nugget with its four emblematic shapes: the bell McDonald's sniffed out the opportunity and quickly patented Arend's slightly modified recipe in 1979 (This article was originally published by Virgule.

was a truck salesman for International Harvester for 30 years and Selina Rhodes; sisters Hazel Trahan and Fanny (Roland) Broussard; brother Honorary pallbearers are John Terrell and Ethan Fontenot.  The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to Mr Michelle Myers; and to Bridgeway Hospice for extraordinary care and compassion in front of the densification and extension pilot project planned for the Triangle Vert business park Accompanied by the chairmen of two inter-municipal associations economy minister Lex Delles (DP) on Wednesday afternoon presented a pilot project to be deployed in Ellange-Mondorf and Wiltz It will enable SMEs in the two business parks to maximise the available surface area Exactly 40 years after the launch of the Tetris game which involves stacking bricks to occupy the entire width of a smartphone screen economy minister  (DP) on Wednesday afternoon relaunched a modern version for Luxembourg Since the country’s buildable areas cannot be extended ad infinitum and SMEs in successful business parks are in danger of suffocating a new scheme will be tested at the Triangle Vert business park in Ellange-Mondorf and the Salzbaach in Wiltz which have been granted to companies for 30 years the idea is to allow them to build up to 30 metres high (instead of increasing the width of their buildings) Companies would add one or two layers of surface area that they could use--depending on their activities--for production They could even rent out the additional space to SMEs who meet the specifications for business parks There is no question of tolerating businesses that have no connection with the SMEs already on site And there is no question of accepting the satellite office projects that the Big Four are so fond of or zone d’activité économique) are extended the aim will be to optimise land use according to the needs of SMEs wishing to set up there The local authorities involved in this pilot project have issued calls for applications so that they can gauge the appetite of these companies in terms of surface area and tailor the project to their needs not to lose a single centimetre of surface area The other dimension of the pilot project is to pool what can be pooled Why create car parks for all the companies in an area if you can have a single car park for everyone Why have canteens or leisure areas in each company if we can imagine shared areas where everyone can cook in the same place or spend their lunch break in a small green park Why not imagine shared crèches that would free employees from having to drop their children off elsewhere The minister also added the idea of pooling green energy production resources whether through wind turbines or a centralised biogas heating system The double-page presentation of the project also mentions “a reflection on housing in order to offer employees of business parks the possibility of finding accommodation close to their work,” which recalls the government's desire to respond to the issue of housing for employees as with the partial tax exemption of bonuses paid by companies for the purpose of renting accommodation for their employees will be introduced The two zones selected in this first phase have another thing in common: an “ulterior motive” of communal development “We want to create jobs and we don’t have enough land to do so bearing in mind that Wiltz is set to welcome 3,000 new residents over the next few years,” explained Albert Waaijenberg chairman of the Wiltz business park inter-municipal association “We want to preserve the village status of Mondorf-les-Bains and be able to relocate any SMEs that wish to do so to this zone,” said Steve Reckel chairman of the Triangle Vert inter-municipal association and mayor of Mondorf He added that 80% of the employees working in this area do not live in Luxembourg L to r: The president of the Syndicat intercommunal de la zone d’activités économiques de Wiltz Albert Waaijenberg the president of the SIAER association of communes and mayor of Mondorf Steve Reckel SIAER vice-president and mayor of Schengen Michel Gloden And behind the apparent simplicity of this Tetris lie difficulties of various kinds from adapting the legislation to adapting the infrastructure for delivering energy which have mobilised teams from different ministries The next steps should be to amend the general development plan (PAG) or special development plan (PAP) whenever necessary then upgrade the infrastructure and finally construct the new buildings or extensions say the promoters of the Ellange-Mondorf-Schengen project six of the 48 companies in the Triangle Vert have expressed interest A further 22 are on the waiting list and in discussions with the ministry of economic affairs to set up in the extension on Schengen territory “There are no common rules,” explained Reckel a different vision and a different investment because its comodo only allows it to expand in width others need more administration or more workshops Others want to diversify and add a second trade to their core business we did as the Romans did: we drew up the plots and we looked at who would get plots A we’re going to do the complete opposite: we’re going to look at the needs of the company that wants to set up and then we’re going to design its plot The new buildings are scheduled for completion around 2029-2030 This article was originally published in .
