also failed to come close to contending for a place in Europe Berlin’s been living in the lower-mid-table spaces They have secured their Bundesliga status for another year as they’re 11 points clear of the bottom three with three games to go Die Eisernen are also 12 points away from 6th so they don’t technically have anything to play for except pride and their own personal development They’re in the midst of a seven match unbeaten run which includes a crazy 4-4 draw against VfB Stuttgart Their most recent contest was less eventful as it ended in a 1-1 tie versus VfL Bochum Benedict Hollerbach grabbed Berlin’s only goal in that game and he’ll be the attacker supporters need to keep their eye on this weekend He can create a moment of magic in the blink of an eye and he’s secured a solid total of nine goals this campaign Union might not be the most exciting team in the country but they’re certainly one of the toughest to beat Team newsBerlin are struggling a bit on the injury front and Woo-Yeong Jeong all concerns for the contest While Werder Bremen’s unreal run of wins came to an end last time out they still have an unbeaten streak just like the opposition as it was only the 2nd game to end without a goal from either side during the nearly four years that manager Ole Werner has been in charge While they were a bit disappointed to have dropped points they’re still right in the thick of the European picture they’re technically five points off UEFA Champions League football and the Green-Whites cannot worry about what’s going on elsewhere If they can end the year with three more wins then they’ll have a decent chance of qualifying for international competition Oliver Burke has been their best forward as of late but according to various rumors and reports online he has already agreed to a deal with a new club at the end of the campaign when his Bremen contract runs up While everyone knows Burke is a true professional and they can trust him to keep working hard like always it would be a strange situation to see him lined up against his future employers maybe another goal from the Scotsman would be exactly what this storyline calls for Team newsLoanee Andre

Rentals owner Rheanna Sinnett sits in the sunroom of one of the cabins at Otyokwa in Bremen who established her business in Rangeley in 2018 is preparing her boats for their fifth summer on Pemaquid Lake in Bremen Small Business Administration and celebrating her fourth anniversary of living in Bremen Rheanna Sinnett is gearing up for another season on Pemaquid Lake owner of The Floating Nomad Houseboat Rentals is preparing to welcome guests to her boats Nomad and Roam for her fifth rental season on the waters in Bremen “You come and you’re away from the hustle and bustle.” renters can choose between staying on Nomad or Roam for a minimum of two nights starting Memorial Day through Indigenous Peoples’ Day in mid-October The boats are equipped with everything a guest may need with the expectation they bring their own groceries and toiletries The boats are securely moored during guest visits as guests are not authorized to operate them Sinnett and her boats have not always called Pemaquid Lake home as her business’s origins can be traced back to the waterways of Rangeley Sinnett moved around a lot but refers to rural Maine as her family’s “home base.” In 1983 the family bought property in Rangeley and used it as a vacation destination until her parents retired there in 2005 Navy and was on active duty from 2003-2014 Sinnett helped her parents operate their business which launched boats on Rangeley Lake from the dock on their property It was through this venture that she became a registered Maine guide and a licensed boat captain Sinnett said helping her parents made her realize she wanted to run her own business on the water Although she was still settling into “civilian life,” she knew she wanted her future business to be based in Maine “Rural Maine is just my heart … It washes your soul,” she said “I knew that that was where I wanted to live and it comes full circle because it’s where I want to bring people to share in that experience.” After returning from a yearlong deployment to Germany in the summer of 2017 Sinnett said she had her mind set on the business she wanted to create Her first idea was to buy a parcel of land from her parents on Rangeley Lake to develop tiny houses for rent a series of events changed the trajectory of her life Her father found the boat she would eventually purchase a friend sent her an article about a boat builder and designer the namesake of The Floating Nomad Houseboat Rentals Nomad is one of two boats owned and rented out by Rheanna Sinnett Sinnett’s business is based on Pemaquid Lake in Bremen “It all kind of fell into place,” she said like perfect combination of wonderful symmetry Sinnett bought Nomad and worked with Keith to renovate it and convert it from a saltwater offshore craft to a freshwater lake boat After living on Nomad for awhile to learn about the boat Sinnett launched The Floating Nomad Houseboats Rentals in the summer of 2018 from the same dock as her parents’ business she felt uncertain at first about how her business would be received I’m just going to live on Nomad,” she said and online reviews helped get the business off the ground Sinnett said she knew she wanted to start the business with one boat available for rent she enlisted Keith’s help with building another boat Sinnett lived on the second boat for awhile before making it available for rentals She said business picked up “exponentially” during her second season on Rangeley Lake so much so that she had to turn away business because Nomad was quickly booked for the summer and started renting it out in the summer of 2019 “That was when I knew we were onto it,” she said until Sinnett and her parents had to close their businesses in Rangeley in the summer of 2020 due to unforeseen circumstances While she was able to keep her boats on Rangeley Lake for the winter of 2020 Sinnett said she moved to Falmouth while she figured out her next move She kept busy helping Keith build another boat While looking for a new home for her and her boats The Stirratts were fans of Sinnett’s business and wanted to talk with her about bringing her boats to their camp on Pemaquid Lake “It really is a special spot to call our home port.” Sinnett runs her business in conjunction with the camp She said people often rent both her boats and cabins on the site The Floating Nomad Houseboat Rentals was named the 2025 Maine Veteran-Owned Small Business of the Year by the U.S an honor Sinnett said she appreciates but did not expect of The Floating Nomad Houseboat Rentals in Bremen With the help of boat builder and designer Rick Keith Sinnett built Roam and began renting it out as part of her business in 2019 That’s kind of who I am really … It’s what I love,” she said She said one of her favorite parts of the rental season is watching her customers see the boats and the lake for the first time “It totally rejuvenates me … It’s like me seeing it again for the first time,” she said “Everything about it is just so special and to see someone else get excited about it … To me One of her greatest joys throughout her journey has been learning from her parents she saw firsthand what it was like to problem solve really fun and it keeps you kind of agile and mentally excited … It was fun for them and I saw that … And I was seeking that out,” she said Sinnett credits her time in the Navy with instilling a great sense of responsibility and accountability in her it’s important to be professional and diligent at all times as the safety of her renters is of the utmost importance and I think not only because we’ve thought through everything but it’s just a simple experience by design,” she said Her advice to those who want to start a small business is to just “do it.” “You just find a way … You need your people that also believe in you The Floating Nomad Houseboat Rentals is located at 244 Nobleboro Road in Bremen.

Bundesliga on Saturday with a win in Leipzig by Gabbi Lumma (WSBT) — Three Amish siblings between the ages of nine and 13 from the Bremen community are dead after their pony cart and a car collided Wednesday morning The three children were riding in a pony cart on Fir Road when the cart collided with a car Darrell and Devon Yoder were on their way to school taking Fir Road with their pony cart as their neighbor says they do every morning First responders arrived on the scene just after 8 a.m A medical helicopter and an accident reconstructionist were called to the scene where all three children were pronounced dead All three children were pronounced dead on the scene “I could see the police lights and everything and saw it looked like an accident and In the back of my head I kind of knew that I hadn't seen the Amish kids come down the road yet and go down the road onto to the school,” resident Katie told WSBT She said she sees the kids in the same cart almost every day adding that many pony carts or even kids ride their bikes either to school or in general the first ones that are furthest out start and then they just pick each other up and ride together I saw three of them sitting at the intersection of Fifth and Fir this morning waiting for their friends that were in the accident,” Katie said Katie said she sees a lot of car and buggy accidents in the area you know you'll be going the opposite direction and you'll see a horse spook at something and almost jump into your lane It happens a lot and driving around them enough you can see how easily it can happen,” said Katie she explained that there needs to be more awareness of Amish buggies on the road I've seen stickers going over the top of their slow-moving vehicle signs that impede it They're taking carts that are intended for you know use on a farm and putting them on the road,” said Katie The Marshall County coroner confirmed the children’s bodies will not be sent for autopsy Bayern Munich’s women’s

Bayern’s win ended VfL Wolfsburg’s dominance in the competition The Volkswagen-backed team had won the past 10 titles Oliver Burke is set to join Union Berlin as a free agent when his contract expires at Werder Bremen this summer The Scottish forward has been at Bremen since 2022 and 2024-25 has been his best season in German football scoring six goals this term for Ole Werner’s side Bremen had hoped to extend the contract of Burke who played in the Bundesliga between 2016 and 2018 for RB Leipzig said the club “regret” Burke’s upcoming departure and had been keen to retain the Scot due to his “strong performances” in recent weeks The 28-year-old joined Bremen from Sheffield United and had subsequent loan spells at Millwall and Birmingham City 8th-place Bremen are in contention for European qualification next season while Union — currently coached by Steffen Baumgart — only confirmed their Bundesliga safety on Saturday will join his new club in July following the expiration of his Bremen contract The winger has also had stints at Nottingham Forest It never quite worked for Burke at Leipzig where he had difficulty adjusting to the club’s style of play and while he has been associated with German football for some time The most famous of all of those came in August 2022 when with Bremen 2-1 down to Dortmund in stoppage time at the Westfalenstadion he scored the second of two goals in two minutes to inspire an unlikely win he scored a really well-taken double in Stuttgart ten days ago to secure a 2-1 win that has Bremen still on course for Europe There have definitely been signs of progress But he’ll swap the Weserstadion for Kopenick this summer and it feels like a good time to do that Since the overreach that characterised their brief Champions League era — during which they made unlikely ill-timed signings that upset their balance — Union have been undergoing a reset and Burke feels very much like an Union player and the kind of nomadic reclamation

Manolis Saliakas out of training as a preventive measure but he’s back now and will play if there’s no reaction tomorrow Everyone else is available apart from Jackson Irvine We’ll know in the next few days how long he’ll be out and when he can come back.” ...his attacking lineup: “We’ve switched things round in training and looked at what could happen I’ll wait until after the session tomorrow.” ...opposition respect for our bouncebackability and good performances: “That’s what you fork for Talking about playing ugly or being difficult to play against is one thing and it obviously does you good when the results come with the performance It helps the team go the next step in their development and it feels good We have to stop going behind in games and it’d be good to keep a clean sheet again.” ...opponents Werder Bremen: “Before the reverse fixture I said I liked to watch their games because they have a clear structure and follow clear principles as to how they want to play They play in a 3-5-2 and sometimes in a 4-4-2 depending on the situation but they’ve come out of their sticky patch in the last four games They’ve performed well and deserve to be up there ...playing last again: “If we play on a Friday and win If the games on the Friday and Saturday go the way they did last week you know you have a chance to round off a good weekend on the Sunday It always feels good when we win our games My assessment of the team is based on the way they’ve presented themselves in training They’ve been going about their business in a very focused way and are determined to get a result at Bremen regardless of how the games go on Friday and Saturday.” ...the view that staying up is a mere formality: “I don’t intend to let up in the way I communicate with the team so we have to keep our performance levels high Everyone knows the last two rounds of matches were good for us because the other results went our way It’s important for us to focus on ourselves and go the final steps I know this group are very clear in their thinking and see things the same way They all want to go that last step as soon as possible.” Print Families looking to instill in young children a love for the stage will want to make Costa Mesa their destination this weekend as Segerstrom Center for the Arts hosts the world premiere of a production created for kids “Musicians of Bremen Live!” is a vibrant reimagining of a classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale “The Bremen Town Musicians,” co-produced as a collaboration between Belfast-based theater company Cahoots of Northern Ireland and the local performing arts nonprofit the tale follows a quartet of musically talented animals — a hen named Ruffles Bobcat and Coyote — who are fleeing the mistreatment of their human owners and must overcome their natural differences to realize their dream of becoming world-famous musicians Segerstrom Center for the Arts co-produced “The Musicians of Bremen Live!” with Belfast children’s theater company

on Saturday and Sunday preceded by an hour of free activities in the lobby where kids can make their own prop instruments and try their own hand at storytelling “Musicians of Bremen Live!” is a part of Segerstrom Center’s Family Series designed to make live theater performances more accessible to young viewers “There’s been a hefty amount of research showing when you have a child who’s experienced going to the theater by age 8 they are more likely to become theatergoers as adults,” Peterson said “In the Family Series our shows are meant to serve younger audiences The themes are specific to what families are working through in terms of a child’s development at that point in their lives.” Cahoots NI Artistic Director Paul Bosco Mc Eneaney said he co-founded the theater company in 2001 out of a desire to create shows for children that were just as well-written produced and staged as traditional offerings If you couldn’t get work in the proper theater you went into children’s theater,” Mc Eneaney recalled Wednesday We invest heavily in making work for young audiences that’s got all the production standards we expect as adults.” the two organizations began discussing a production that would have its world premier in Costa Mesa They discussed international borders — such as that between the United States and Mexico and the one separating Northern Ireland from the Republic of Ireland — and how people from different backgrounds live and work together in a common culture “The Bremen Town Musicians” presented music as a perfect backdrop against which to portray a varied cast of animal characters struggling to harmonize to fulfill their dreams “The Musicians of Bremen Live!” debuts at Segerstrom Center for the Arts on Saturday (Melissa Gordon /Gorgeous Photography) “They can all play instruments so there’s a disharmony for the first 20 minutes,” he said “Disharmony suddenly becomes harmony only by listening And that gives you an anchor from which to develop the themes we wanted to talk about.” The result of that collaboration is a dazzling display that is sure to transfix audiences of all ages who managed to catch a preshow performance for school

Eric Smith deputised for injured captain Jackson Irvine at home to Bayer Leverkusen and led the Boys in Brown to victory with an excellent display. In the run-up to the trip to Werder Bremen, the Swedish utility player took time out to speak to the media. ...the draw against Leverkusen: “We managed to come from behind for the third time in a row, so when you take a point against the German champions it’s always good. We’re definitely happy and are on the right track. It’s not over yet, though, and we need to get more points on the table. Hopefully we’ll be able to enjoy what we’ve created this season.” ...the comeback qualities of recent weeks: “Our performances have been better over 90 minutes. We’ve had to learn the hard way all season and that’s what’s built up to this. We’ve been able to come back because we’ve learned from our mistakes in the first half of the season when we played well but didn’t get the results.” ...captaining the team for the first time in the Bundesliga: “It’s an honour when the coach chooses you and I’m trying to pay him back the best I can. I’ve been captain before at this club, so I know how it feels and what it means, but I just tried to play my usual game.” ...Jackson Irvine’s comment that it’s the best Eric Smith he’s ever seen: “I hope not. I hope I’ll be able to perform better. I’m obviously very happy that he said that about me and I’ll just try to do my best every game.” ...his holding role: “I get more involved in the game and can perform better when I play in midfield, so it’s obviously a lot of fun at the moment. The role I had last year was different because we had the ball more, whereas this year at the beginning we didn’t have the ball that much. I’ve got more games under my belt now in that position and am starting to remember how to play in midfield.” Eric Smith under challenge from Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz. ...the forthcoming trip to Bremen: “It’ll be tough. They’ve won four in a row now and have a chance to qualify for Europe, so they’ll try to win the game like we will. If we’re able to reach the level we had against Gladbach and Leverkusen, we have a chance of picking up points against Bremen as well.” ...the chance of staying up if Heidenheim fail to win at Stuttgart on Friday: “Whatever happens in that game, we need to win our game. It doesn’t matter whether other teams win or lose, we want to take all three points at Bremen.” ...the mood in the camp: “At the moment it’s very good because we’ve had some good results. We can’t afford to take a rest, though, because we need four more points from the last four games and we want to get them as quickly as possible. We’re in a good position, we know that, but we have to be careful not to get into the wrong energy. Everyone has to be focused on getting the points we need.” ...the run-in: “Now it matters the most. We have the experience from last year when we really had to push through into the last few games, and so a lot of the guys in the dressing room know what it takes. We’re trying to create the same mentality as we had in the last three games. I’m positive and I trust everyone at this club to know what we’re capable of and what level we need to reach to be able to get this done.” BREMEN, Ind. (WSBT) — Scouting America Troop 733 in Bremen will host their 2nd annual all you can eat pancake and sausage breakfast fundraiser Saturday morning. The event helps scouts raise money for summer camp and their upcoming trip to New Mexico. The breakfast will run form 8 a.m. until noon at the Filbert Gold Sugar House.

All proceeds will go directly toward the troop. After the scoreless draw at Werder Bremen the mood in the camp was one of disappointment due to the drop in performance in the second half. Here’s the pick of the post-match reaction. Eric Smith: “We invested a lot in the first half and got into some good positions but we couldn’t finish off the attacks. We’ve made progress as the season as unfolded and today we again had a keeper who ensured we didn’t lose. They had some good chances and we had a bit of luck a couple of times but you have to earn your luck. Bremen can still qualify for the Champions League and we want to stay up, so a point away from home won’t do us any harm.” Carlo Boukhalfa: “The performance in the first half was good, but Bremen were better in the second. They exploited the spaces well. The quality of the opposition shows when you tire a bit but we defended well, so a goalless draw is a fair result. The teams below us are picking up points, as we saw this weekend, so our work isn’t done and we can’t afford to let up. Against Stuttgart we’ll go flat out again to get closer to our target.” The reigning champions, who lost 3-0 to Bayern Munich in their Champions League Round of 16 first leg on Wednesday, are on 53 points, with Bayern staying top on 61 despite their stunning 3-2 loss at home to VfL Bochum Really bad day," Xabi Alonso told a news conference "After the loss in Munich we wanted to be a bit fresher but it did not work We will forget this game now and start believing again It was too hectic and the chances were not clear chances," Alonso said Visitors Werder, who had lost their previous five matches, took a surprise seventh-minute lead with Romano Schmid slotting in at the far post after a Leverkusen defensive error Aleix García came agonisingly close to an equaliser for the hosts but his first-half stoppage time free kick bounced off the crossbar To make matters worse for Xabi Alonso's team, who host Bayern in the return leg on Tuesday, attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz suffered an ankle injury in the 54th minute and the Germany international had to be substituted Alonso said Wirtz had been taken to hospital for a scan and there was no information yet on the extent of his injury or if he would be fit for Tuesday's game against Bayern what the result of the scan is and then we will have the information."

first half The home side came out stronger in the second and a draw was a fair reflection of the proceedings Head coach Alexander Blessin made one change to the side that drew 1-1 with Bayer Leverkusen Noah Weißhaupt getting the nod over Connor Metcalfe Werder boss Ole Werner also made one adjustment from the 1-0 home win over VfL Bochum With Heidenheim winning by the only goal at Stuttgart on Friday evening the onus was on the Boys in Brown to secure their first Bundesliga victory at Bremen a result that would restore the eight-point cushion to 16th place and rule out the possibility of going down automatically went into the game chasing a fifth win in succession to go level on points with sixth-placed Dortmund and keep alive their dream of qualifying for Europe for the first time in 15 years In ideal conditions for football the two teams made a bright start and it was the hosts who fashioned the first chance with four minutes on the clock Mitchell Weiser met Marvin Ducksch’s lay-off first time just inside the box but his angled effort fizzed some distance wide of the far post Philipp Treu played a one-two with Danel Sinani in the box but was denied by Michael Zetterer from a tight angle Carlo Boukhalfa latched onto a long ball forward and slid a shot past the Werder keeper he was a shade offside and the goal was disallowed The Blessin XI knocked the ball around with assurance and made frequent forays into the final third ensuring it was Sinani who had the next chance allowing Zetterer to gather without too much difficulty Werder were largely anonymous up front during the opening exchanges thanks to the high press deployed by Blessin’s side Jens Stage did have an opportunity on 26 when he was allowed too much space from a Ducksch free-kick but his sliding effort cleared the bar by some distance With the home side tightening things up at the back the attacking opportunities began to dry up slightly Morgan Guilavogui collected a long ball forward and tried to tee up the advancing Treu the home fans were celebrating when Stage fired into the bottom left corner from ten metres but like Boukhalfa before him he was narrowly offside and the goal was chalked off Boukhalfa had another go just before the break but his effort from outside the box was way too high Niklas Stark was allowed far too much space in the danger area from a Ducksch free-kick but Nikola Vasilj pulled off a brilliant stop to keep out the header The Boys in Brown hit back with two chances in quick succession Weißhaupt had an effort from ten metres blocked at the last moment and then David Nemeth angled a shot wide of the far post from outside the box Bremen got the ball forward quickly to send Njinmah clear but Vasilj was alert to the danger and made a decent save the same player slid a shot just wide of Vasilj’s post introducing Elias Saad for Noah Weißhaupt in an attempt to add more attacking impetus His team continued to struggle to create chances but in the 71sst minute Saad went to ground in the box under a challenge from Werder captain Marco Friedl only for referee Tobias Reichel to wave play on The initial contact may have been within the rules but the second caught Saad on the leg and Bremen could have had no complaints if a penalty had been given With the game entering the final quarter of an hour Blessin threw on Robert Wagner and Connor Metcalfe for Carlo Boukhalfa and Danel Sinani the home side thought they had broken the deadlock after a quickfire break and some excellent work by Romano Schmid saw substitute Oliver Burke curl a shot beyond Vasilj but for the third time on the day the goal was ruled out for a narrow offside Towards the end both teams lacked the punch required to win it and after Metcalfe had been sent off for two bookable offences in stoppage time Treu - Sinani (Metcalfe 75’) - Guilavogui (Eggestein 88’) BREMEN ― Jordan Leeper announced Monday he is resigning as the Bremen High School football head coach
