On November 19 of last year, the people of Lerchenstadt finally got the upper hand. At that time, the team of player-coach John Gilliland won 76:70 at TSV Ettlingen. With 17 points, Stephan Kühnhardt was one of the most successful throwers of the YMCA together with Murat Hacioglu.
However, Gilliland will again have to do without Kühnhardt in the coming game for professional reasons when Lörrach plays away against the reserves of USC Freiburg on Saturday, 5.30 p.m.
Until its closure, the Union cinema housed such small films. Arthaus films, documentaries and live opera broadcasts were shown in the two cinema halls on Bahnhofsplatz. The cinema was closed in June due to disagreements with the landlord. Something similar happened recently at the Friedrichsbau in Freiburg, founded in 1911 and which will close in mid-February. The Union cinema and Cineplex were operated by the CCC group.
According to Lazuk, the idea of moving the arthouse track from Union to the Cineplex is not yet fully realized. There are smaller films that would work very well, such as the character portrayal “Mittagsstunden” with Charly Hübner. But these are individual exceptions. “Unfortunately, the art-house cinema was very little frequented. It hasn’t been satisfactory so far,” says Lazuk, who has repeatedly shown goodies for filmmakers at the Cineplex last year, such as the tragic comedy “Green Tomatoes” (1991).
At the same time, however, he is delighted that the Union cinema’s regular audience has accepted the move to the Cineplex. In general, however, even the individual blockbusters in the mainstream and arthouse segments could not hide the fact that the number of visitors is 30% lower than before the corona pandemic.
“Unfortunately, this corresponds to the nationwide trend,” says the theater director. However he is confident. “This year has proved once again that viewers are loyal.”
No higher fares in sight
Rising prices and rising wage and energy costs are causing more and more difficulties for healthcare institutions in Aargau, while vaka continues. Higher rates are not in sight. The demanding financing of healthcare services by the Confederation, cantons, communes, health insurance companies and patients makes it difficult to adjust rates quickly and realistically.
The hospital and clinic fees did not cover the costs. Nursing services are underfunded and low Complementary Benefits (EL) are not enough.
The sharp increase in benefits and the stagnation of health insurance contributions as well as the low missing compensation for public services compared to Switzerland have increased the pressure on Spitex organisations, the message concludes.
