KARWINA:
PREPARING PLOTS FOR HOUSE CONSTRUCTION
Good news
for those who want to have their own house in Karwina. In the Granice district,
above Wagonka, the city is preparing plots of land for the construction of
single-family houses. The offer is addressed both to residents and to those who
are just planning to settle permanently in Karwina.
THE BEST
GIFT IS... GRANDCHILDREN
The end of
January is a time of lively celebrations of Grandmother's Day and Grandfather's
Day in kindergartens. On Tuesday afternoon, a party was held to mark the
occasion at the Polish kindergarten on Akacjowa Street in Czeski Cieszyn.
HAWIERZÓW:
IVETA KOČÍ-PALKOVSKÁ IS THE NEW MAYOR
At
Wednesday's meeting, Hawierzów councilors dismissed the city's incumbent mayor,
Ondřej Baránek. Iveta Kočí-Palkovská, an active cultural activist in the city,
was elected to replace him. This is the aftermath of a corruption scandal,
which was first reported last year by journalists from Deník.
FRANCISZEK
JOPEK: I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ATTRACTED TO ENDURANCE SPORTS
They say
that in the mountains, people are born with skis on their feet. Franciszek
Jopek from Łomna Dolna, a student in class 2a at the Juliusz Słowacki Polish
Middle School in Czeski Cieszyn, is a prime example of this. He has been skiing
slalom since childhood. Currently, he is reaching for the highest laurels in
alpine skiing. On December 14, he won the RC junior sprint championship title,
and shortly thereafter, the gold medal in the RC Cup individual race.
