A normal Saturday morning in Klazienaveen. Until suddenly one ‘Good morningnn!’ blares through the Voeghoutenstraat. The cry comes from Gaston Starreveld’s throat. In his hand a fat check for 1 million euros.
Residents with a lottery ticket in the PostcodeLoterij know enough. They watch the well-known lottery ambassador drive in with his mouth open from behind the window. The realization sinks in after which the surprised looks give way to a big smile.
Their zip code 7891 LE has been selected for the Miljoenenprijs, together with nine other zip code areas in the country. The fellow sufferers may share 1 million euros together. With a handful of participants in the Voeghoutenstraat, the counter ticks about 111,000 euros per lot.
The greatest stroke of luck fell on Matthé and Anne Floor. A family of which there are many in Klazienaveen alone. They play with three lottery tickets and thus build up a wealth of wealth. Matthé has his own company so the money comes in handy. “Not normal! We’re going to let it all sink in for a while.”

Those who visit the Rainbow Festival in Emmen on Saturday should not be surprised by a large removal van. It belongs to the GGD Drenthe, and is used for information and vaccine action against hepatitis B. It is the first time that the GGD is present at the festival.
“We rented a bus and made an STI clinic in the back. A consulting room, a chair to draw blood and a toilet,” says Dianne Schriemer of the GGD. The organization hopes to speak to festival-goers for consultations about sexually transmitted diseases and for vaccinations against Hepatitis B.
It is of course no coincidence that the GGD is at the Rainbow Festival. “The hepatitis B virus is sexually transmitted, and also through blood. We are looking for special target groups for the vaccination against the virus: sex workers, trans people and men who have sex with men.”
“We are mainly there with a positive intention, so not with the raised index finger to tell us what is going wrong,” says Schriemer. “But to talk to people about their experience, and to give them advice.”
To come into contact with the festival goers, the GGD is therefore bringing two games. A surprise prize awaits those who can guess how many condoms are in a large glass jar. And visitors can throw a ring around a post. No wooden pole, but a dildo this time: it’s going to be cock ring throwing.
It can help to lower the threshold to board the bus for a conversation or a hepatitis shot. “Free and completely anonymous,” emphasizes Schriemer. If you want a longer conversation with the GGD, you can make an appointment on the spot.
Taking a bus to the festival is new for GGD Drenthe. “It’s the first time for us. And besides the consultations and vaccinations, it’s important to show us in a positive way.”
The organization of the Rainbow Festival expects 2,000 to 3,000 visitors. “We hope that we can see and speak to a hundred people on Saturday. Of course not everyone will come, and that is not necessary. But it is good to be present.”

The folding trailer is back. Sales of the folding trailers rose by more than twenty percent last year and the producers in Drenthe have also noticed an increase this year.
Campooz in Assen is the largest producer of folding trailers in our country. “Ten years ago you were laughed at on a birthday if you said you were going camping with the folding trailer. New brands were added about seven years ago. Fresh, new brands. This has polished up the image of the folding trailer. And that we can see from the sales numbers at the moment,” says owner Raoul Verdink. The company does not disclose how many folding trailers Campooz sells. “But we can’t complain.”
At Holtkamper in Emmen, the folding trailers are also going out at a rapid pace. “It’s actually unbelievable how that has taken off in recent years,” says director Maarten de Roos. “We sell about 400 folding trailers per year, but then we are in the higher segment of the market. Other brands are priced lower, that’s where the large volume is in the market. But we are very happy with the market position we now occupy. “

After twenty years of struggle, there is finally recognition for former firefighter Ruud Lohuis (63) from Emmen. Due to 25 serious incidents at the then professional fire brigade of Emmen, he suffers from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). And according to the highest court for civil servants, the Central Council of Appeal, the municipality of Emmen is liable for this. Because it lacked aftercare.
Lohuis is happy that after years of fighting ‘the truth is finally emerging’. “I’m a fighter, and I’ve always held on. It’s paying off now.” But the Emmenaar is not in a victory rush. The pain over the whole event is predominant, and all traumatic incidents are still sharp on his retina.
“It is more a confirmation of what happened to me. For more than twenty years my complaints were not taken seriously, I was not heard during all that time. There has never been adversarial action, except in the trial of this highest court. I was finally able to tell my story there.”
On the day of the verdict in mid-June, his lawyer Ferre van de Nadort called the former firefighter enthusiastically. “He said to me, ‘Ruud, you’ve won, just open a nice bottle to celebrate’. But I’m not that far yet that there is something to celebrate. It still feels double. The pain of all the events is still close to the surface, it can make me emotional again,” says the hefty Lohuis, who is a broken man through everything.

A sun-drenched edition of the Hello Festival in Emmen today. At the Grote Rietplas, parasols, fans and sun cream were not a superfluous luxury.
About 17,000 people came to the festival site to enjoy performances by Son Mieux, Suzan & Freek, Bouke, Nena and Krezip. Tonight, Madness and Martijn Fischer, among others, will come by.
Photographer Kim Stellingwerf took a look this afternoon and that resulted in the following photos:
