In the morning, a large number of believers came to celebrate mass in the parish church. Ash wednesday marks the beginning of the 40-day fasting period until easter, during which the five sundays of the fast and palm sunday are exempt from payment.

The ashes had been burned by the city parish priest helmut hetzel in the services in the city parish church st. He blessed the virgin mary magdalene before drawing the cross of ashes on the foreheads of the faithful together with father vincent chettiar. For hetzel, the 40-day fast is commonplace, with many taking it upon themselves to make changes in their lives. The number 40 is a significant number in the bible. So the people of israel spent 40 years in the wilderness and jesus, like the prophet elijah, spent 40 days in the wilderness. It is a time of purification.

Many were still amused on tuesday and should continue to be so. Because it is a matter of changing attitudes, and not so much about superficialities. As the prophet joel had already said: "rend your hearts, not your garments, and turn to the lord your god!"

Who will decide on the future of the volkach open-air swimming pool?? The old or new city council? Before christmas, it seemed as if the city council would prefer to leave this important decision to the new committee. But now there is movement in the discussion.

The SPD in volkach was the first to venture into the public arena when it held a meeting on 13 march. January submitted an application for the general renovation of the facility. In it, dieter sollner demands on behalf of his group that the "open-air swimming pool be retained in its existing form" to maintain and renovate. "The current rough with swimmer, non-swimmer and baby/children’s pool" should be maintained.

SPD manover for the municipal elections?

Exactly this "maximum demand stobt bei CSU-fraktionspprecher heiko bauerlein auf unverstandnis. Unfortunately, the SPD does not make any statement on the financing of the project, which is worth more than seven million euros. "How are we supposed to achieve intercommunal cooperation and motivate surrounding communities to cooperate if we, on the part of the city, strive for the most expensive variant??", it asks in an e-mail to this editorial office. Bauerlein is even more explicit in that he suspects: "the request is probably due to the upcoming election…?" It cannot be that the necessary renovation of the outdoor pool (with a seasonal opening time) is more expensive than the general renovation of the indoor pool.

Book your trip, pack your suitcase, let's go. Unfortunately it is not that easy anymore. Before the vacation with the children the course to the passport office may not be missing any more.
Since the 26th. June it is no longer sufficient to register your child in the passport of the parents for the vacation abroad. In the meantime, every child must have its own passport. The child passport must be applied for even for newborns. However, it is only valid until the twelfth year of life. "This is new", reports veronika bosse from the passport office kitzingen. "Previously, the passport was valid until 16. Valid for the first year of life."

Agreement of both parents

For children's passports, the consent of the guardian is required. The passport office in kitzingen has found a work-friendly solution for this problem. So that both parents don't have to show up at the office, one of the legal guardians can sign a declaration of consent and give it to his or her partner. Not every passport office does this because of the risk of falsification, but veronika bosse and her colleagues have had no bad experiences with it so far. "It's just a matter of both parents knowing that the child will get a passport. Until now it has worked very well", explains bosse. "Problems are more likely to arise with divorced couples who share custody of children. There are also differences of opinion sometimes."
