CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Missoula Lady Bruins fell to the Monarch Coyotes of Louisville, Colorado, 5-2 in their opening game of the USA Hockey U19 National High School championship on Thursday at OBM Arena.
The Coyotes took a 2-0 lead in the first period on a pair of goals from Brooklyn Hendrickson.
The Lady Bruins struck back just 42 seconds into the second period on a goal by Elizabeth Jenni. Waverly Winterer assisted.
Margaret Ronghaus, though, responded with a goal for the Coyotes, who led 3-1 after two periods.
The Coyotes scored the first two goals of the third period — by Taylor Stevens and the third by Hendrickson — to extend their lead to 5-1. Shaye Ewing closed out the scoring for Missoula with a goal assisted by Dora McDougall.
The Lady Bruins continue play in the six-team tournament when they face Team Texas on Friday at 10:30 a.m.

Is Democratic Socialism the Solution?
Sophie Devaney
By Mattias Hoz
What is democratic socialism? According to its supporters, it's a political movement to create a more equitable economy, prioritizing people's needs over profit in sectors such as healthcare and education. For decades, traditional voters and politicians have feared democratic socialism. With the exception of the past two election cycles, the vast majority of liberal candidates have attempted to distance themselves from any phrase including the word "socialism." It's not hard to see why they've done this; they believe American voters are fundamentally opposed to socialism and all the political baggage that goes along with it. They've concluded that any association with democratic socialism would be political suicide. However, democratic socialism could be the left's best chance at winning over voters and beating President Trump.
Wealth inequality in America is at an all-time high. Currently, the three wealthiest individuals in America hold more wealth than the bottom 90 percent of Americans. Extreme economic inequality is what helped fuel the victory of Trump's populist message in 2016, and it threatens to do so again in 2020. Though Trump's economic policies while in office have overwhelmingly benefited the wealthy, the way he spoke about helping the "little guy" appealed to millions of working-class voters. The Democratic Party made little effort to do so. The simplest way for the democratic nominee to ensure Trump's re-election would be by ignoring the needs of working- class voters — many of which are concentrated in crucial swing states that determine the outcome of the election.
Some Americans worry about how large a role our government should play in their lives and the economy, pointing to extreme cases of government planning in Russia, China, and Cuba. Democratic socialism in the United States would look very different from any communist regime; it would restructure American society to look more like much of Northern Europe. Senator Bernie Sanders, a leading contender for the Democratic nomination in 2020 who describes his vision for America as democratic socialism, has proposed many plans that would involve government support for basic necessities. Propositions like Medicare for All would eliminate corporate money-making off the sick, and College for All would eradicate outsize debt-driven bank profits. Both plans are overwhelmingly popular among Americans and already exist in many European countries.
The economic data tells us that something about America's fundamental economic structure isn't working. Millions of Americans are unable to afford health insurance, while US drug prices remain the highest in the entire world. Affluent citizens take out six-figure loans to fund their education.
Simultaneously, some European countries are thriving, with societies structured to safeguard their economically vulnerable citizens. Yet, the disparities that still exist are bolstering Trump's presidency. Only by addressing the reforms of democratic socialism will we be able to better the lives of struggling Americans.

Amazon Fire TV just added free local news app — and Roku should be worried
By Henry T. Casey published 18 March 21
Amazon Fire TV News app will make it easier to see local news
A free Amazon Fire TV News app is rolling out to devices starting today, delivering live and on-demand local news to 88 major U.S. cities. As Amazon pushes against platform king Roku's dominance in the streaming device market, this could be a way to make Fire TV more competitive.
As detailed in Amazon's announcement, the dozens of channels include "popular local stations from news distributors such as ABC Owned Television Stations and CBSN," in locations including Detroit, New Orleans, Orlando, Phoenix and Salt Lake City. It follows a 2020 rollout that had other large markets, such as Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia.

The Fire TV news app will have a tab for local news, and it will automatically add your nearest stations based on your closest metropolitan area. Of course, there is also an Alexa integration: users can say "Alexa, play local news" to their Alexa Voice Remote or Fire TV Cube to see what's going on in their area right now.
Currently, Roku provides free news through a series of services available in the Roku Channel. Those include national news apps like CBS News as well as Local Now (both of which are free on Fire TV).
That said, Amazon providing a dedicated section for news (and surfacing it all more prominently with the new dedicated news app) might make it easier for people to find this programming on Amazon than on Roku, which keeps things silo'd off for you to find when you're hunting — if you decide to look, that is.
Here is the full list of cities that Amazon is serving local news to now:

What running shoes was Keira D'Amato wearing for her US marathon record?


During ten days in Spain, we had a chance to do some excellent eating. While we experienced a wide range of places, from humble tapas bars to Michelin 3-star restaurants, it was still only a small sample of what Spain has to offer. But I am nonetheless convinced that the Spaniards' passion for and dedication to great ingredients, and to the joy and satisfaction of good eating, make Spain one of the world's great dining destinations. So what broad, pat generalizations can I draw from this limited snapshot?
1. great ingredients cooked properly will make a great dish. This is not some Marco Pierre White* "the only way to cook fish is on the bone with olive oil lemon and salt" rant (about which you can find more discussion here). I'm completely agnostic as to preparation methods and techniques, and think it is just as possible that sous vide or anti-griddle is the proper way to cook something as a saute pan. But it is perhaps an obvious, almost tautological truth, that if you start with great product and don't screw it up, you will end up with something great. Some of the most exciting, satisfying things we ate on this trip were also the simplest - percebes at Goizeko, calçots at Cuines Santa Caterina. Even the Arzak egg we had was as much about wonderfully flavorful egg and truffle as about the technique and presentation.
2. it's just cooking. In large part, and with a couple exceptions, the places that are using contemporary techniques are not doing so as an end unto themselves, but rather just as part of the repertoire of making great food. At Arzak we had spherified mushrooms and solidified foie oils and powdered olive oil sauces, but it didn't seem contrived or forced. In part I think with such a greater concentration of restaurants that are exploring these contemporary techniques, it becomes less "look what I can do" (though there certainly remains an element of that), and more about how those techniques can be used to enhance the entire dining experience.
3. presentation is not a substitute for flavor. We were served some breathtakingly beautiful things in Spain. The "hot and cold crab salad" at Akelaŕe was a visually stunning dish, with the miniature carrot and radish made of vegetable purees, and the perfect-looking meringue mushroom - but it would have been a disappointing dish without such vivid flavors. The creations at Aloña Berri were some of the most beautiful bites I've ever seen, but what made the place so special was that they were just as good to eat as they were to look at. On the other hand, the "esmeraldas de chocolate" at Arzak were also a great visual feat, but that didn't change the fact that they didn't taste like much. Presentation is undoubtedly a component of a great meal, but it can never make up for lackluster flavors.
4. there are few things as revelatory as an unexpected complementary combination of flavors. Arzak used herbs in desserts, particularly in combination with chocolate, to great effect (basil ice cream paired with chocolate spheres and a red wine sauce; a chocolate-rosemary ice cream that was just fantastic). Aloña Berri's pintxo pairing mackerel and foie gras, along with a crisped leek sprinkled with various flavors, worked perfectly. To me, these kinds of combinations - when they work - can make for some of the most magical dining moments.
5. Asian influences would seem to be Spain's trend du jour. Albert Raurich spent nearly ten years as El Bulli's chef de cuisine, but his new restaurant, Dos Palillos, is doing pretty straight-ahead Chinese and Japanese food with only a smattering of hints of his former job. Other places riffing on Asian themes, like Kabuki Wellington and Diverxo in Madrid, are also getting much attention. I wonder how much this may just be a reflection of Spanish food culture not being as familiar with Asian cuisines as perhaps we are here in the U.S., as the East/West thing doesn't seem all that groundbreaking to me.
6. Arzak is doing some interesting things with colors. The manipulation of color was a recurring theme in our meal at Arzak. The "bronzed" monkfish, with a sauce that also became speckled with bronze when another sauce was added tableside; the "perdigones" in iridescent silver and pink with the duck, the "esmeraldas" of chocolate with a shiny green shell made from spinach, were remarkable effects. But see 3 above - if the flavors aren't there, the dish will still disappoint.
7. Akelaŕe is doing some interesting things with echoing of flavors. It only occurred to me in retrospect, but one of the things that was common to many of our dishes at Akelaŕe was that the same flavor would be repeated in different forms in the same dish. The crab came as a cold shredded salad and a warm grilled claw, as well as in the coral "soil" underneath. Prawns were served over another "soil" made from dried ground prawn shells. Sole was served with an emulsified sauce made from the fish's cooking juices. Roasted suckling pig came with pools of "Iberian emulsion" which echoed the porcine flavors. Many of these dishes only had a few predominant flavors, a far cry from, for instance, Alinea dishes with "too many garnishes to list." This is not to say that one is any better than the other, only to note the dramatic difference between the approaches.
8. there's no good reason for any restaurant to be stuffy. Arzak and Akelaŕe are both Michelin 3-star restaurants, but there was not the slightest hint of stuffiness or haughtiness at either place. The restaurant staff at both places were warm, friendly and relaxed. Indeed, the solicitude that Juan Mari and Elena Arzak showed for everyone in the restaurant while we there - ourselves included - was one of the most memorable, and rewarding, things about our meal. Elena in particular is just one of the warmest, most genuine people you could ever have the good fortune to meet.
So that closes the chapter on our venture to Spain, and we'll now return, for the time being, at least, to the original premise of this blog - good eats in Miami and surrounds. Thanks for your patience.
*Given that his "Chopping Block" show lasted only a few episodes and nobody other than Mrs. F and I have seen the movie "Mystery Men," I doubt there is anyone else in the universe that will get this reference, but MPW's messianic "insights" on the show reminded me of none other than The Sphinx -"He who questions training only trains himself at asking questions." "To learn my teachings, I must first teach you to learn." "When you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack." Am I the only one who finds these things just a little bit formulaic? I know this guy was supposed to be one of the greatest chefs in England, but ... maybe it was the checkerboard Spicoli Vans that made it hard for me to take him seriously.
So in the end what was your favorite restaurant that you visited? What was your favorite single dish(or bite) of the trip?
I always struggle with these kind of "best" questions. Alona Berri was quite special, and the "Guiller" tapa may have been the single best bite of the trip. Best dish, possibly the cochinillo at Akelare. For the whole dining experience, Arzak was my favorite.

The Judge's Daughter
by Ruth hamilton
Agnes Makepeace has always been courageous and strong-minded and on the surface, she couldnt be more unlike the chilly, reserved Helen Spencer. Agnes knows there is a mystery to her own background and is determined to discover the truth about her past. She believes the key to unlock the secret is held with husbands employer, Judge Zachary Spencer of Lambert Housea mean-spirited widower and solitary man. Judge Spencer has long neglected his daughter, Helen, and notices her even less when he takes a new wife. But he has underestimated both the extent of his daughters misery and her determination to enact her revenge. Helens new-found confidence causes her to behave in a way that will have a lasting and shocking impact on both families and, surprisingly, leads to a lifelong friendship with Agnes. Yet it is only when the broodingly silent house on Skirlaugh Rise ceases to hold its breath and deliver the answers that Agnes has been seeking that she can finally find the peace of mind she has always longed for.

Kaiser Darrin
Sell your Classic Kaiser Darrin
Built by Kaiser Motors for the 1954 model year, only 435 vehicles were produced. As one of the first American cars developed and built with a fiberglass body and doors, the Kaiser Darrin made its mark in the industry, and can dare say started a movement. Named after Henry J. Kaiser, the head of Kaiser motors, and Howard Darrin, the designer. This american sports car rivaled against other products such as the Ford Thunderbird and the Chevrolet Corvette. Despite its attractive and unique design, the car was unfortunately underpowered. Although it had decent performance, consumers were in search of vehicles which met higher expectations. Yet with so little automobiles produced during its life on the market, this vehicle is few and far in between.

Miami Dolphin Arrested, Tazed For Allegedly "Touching Females" At Club
Samer Kalaf
Filed to:derrick shelby
Miami Dolphins defensive end Derrick Shelby was arrested early Saturday at a Florida nightclub for allegedly causing a disturbance. That's one way to spend a bye week. He resisted nonviolently, according to the police report, and his mugshot shows the police handled it their way.
Via the Sun Sentinel, Shelby was "causing a disturbance" and "touching females...without their permission" at Cyn Nightclub in Ft. Lauderdale:
After being told several times to leave the club, also known as Off the Hookah, at 111 SW 2nd Ave., Shelby refused, began blocking the exit and said, "What are you going to do," the report said.
Shelby appeared intoxicated and began photographing and taping the off-duty officer, Lauren Collins, who requested backup assistance. When other officers arrived, Shelby refused to release his arms so that he could be arrested and continued to struggle, according to Collins.
A Taser was fired three times at Shelby before he was taken into custody, Collins wrote in her report.
Police charged Shelby with trespassing after a warning and resisting arrest without violence. He pleaded not guilty.
The Dolphins announced today that they had suspended Shelby indefinitely.
Update: Here's a copy of the police report, via the Miami Herald.

A VOTELESS PEOPLE IS A HOPELESS PEOPLE®
"A Voteless People is a Hopeless People" (aka VPHP) was initiated as a National Program of Alpha during the 1930's when many African-Americans had the right to vote but were prevented from voting because of poll taxes, threats of reprisal, and lack of education about the voting process. Voter education and registration have remained a dominant focus of this outreach activity for over 65 years. In the 1990's, the focus has shifted to include political awareness and empowerment, delivered most frequently through town meetings and candidate forums.

HK government can boost blossoming arts tech discipline
This article appeared originally in the CHINADAILY on 26 Aug, 2020.
Author: Amy Liu Mei-heung, Managing Editor at Our Hong Kong Foundation
In this age of internet and internet of things, technology has come to impact and improve every aspect of our lives, and its application in the arts is particularly interesting — with the creation of the new discipline of arts technology. In Hong Kong, stakeholders including local arts groups, the education sector and the business community are already embracing the trend and working on interesting projects. But to make it sustainable, it is important the government should take a more proactive role.
One of the pioneers of cutting-edge arts tech in Hong Kong is the multimedia director and producer Mathias Woo, whose theater company Zuni Icosahedron had previously experimented in the collaboration of comics, visual arts and photography. In 2017, Woo headed both the planning and artistic design in a groundbreaking project called "Freespace", which was a three-year joint effort by Zuni and the West Kowloon Cultural District. The project provided an exchange platform for tech experts and performing arts talents to introduce new technical possibilities for the stage. In 2018, its Z Innovation Lab project turned the Hong Kong Cultural Centre into a lab where the Hong Kong stage performance was conducted in sync with its counterpart in Zurich, Switzerland. The collaboration between performers across half the globe provided an unforgettable experience for the audience.
In our recently released report titled "Innovating Creative Cultures — Arts Tech", we proposed that government attribute more resources to digital cultural industries, and we also advocated the building of a cross-sector platform. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it is encouraging that the Hong Kong Arts Development Council launched the Arts Go Digital Platform Scheme in early July to support up to 68 digital projects at a total cost of HK$22.4 million ($2.9 million), with funds of up to HK$300,000 for each "general" project and funds of up to HK$500,000 for each "elevated" project. The council aims to inspire arts practitioners to deliver innovative content in response to lives under the pandemic, create innovative online arts content that can interact with the audience, and promote social inclusion. The council also hopes to bring the arts closer to the general public through the setup of a digital platform.
In secondary education, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) has always been in the curriculum, but an intriguing new trend is STEAM, which also includes arts. With the intense interest in arts tech, teachers are now putting more emphasis in this direction, resulting in better-equipped secondary school students and eventually a growing talent pool.
In the tertiary education sector, many universities are developing future arts tech talents with a multi-disciplinary approach. City University's School of Creative Media, established in 1998, is renowned for application of interactive media and computation, with courses that span computer science, arts, visual design, creative writing, cultural studies, and digital technology. Baptist University set up cross-discipline research in 2018 to promote the innovative collaboration among creative media, traditional craftmanship and digital technology. It is now building a new block as a "creative center", expected to be completed in 2023-24, which will strengthen the facilities for such research. Hang Seng University has launched a new honors degree in art and design for this academic year, which provides advanced computing and audio-visual facilities for students to work on 3D graphics and animation, augmented reality, virtual reality and artificial intelligence, which are all important in the global commercial market.
In business, arts tech is taking marketing and promotion to the next level. In the art and tech summit Mixed Reality held by auction company Christie's late last year, the role and impact of immersive experiences through augmented, virtual, and mixed realities in contemporary living were explored. Artists shared their experience of connecting their works with digital technology, while creative and technology experts talked about how digital platforms elevated the visual experience in the global arts market. In Hong Kong, many shopping malls are using animation and installation art for promotional purposes. Arts tech is also actively explored by advertising and design companies to create new appreciation angles for their target audience.
Arts tech is a powerful tool that is helping to bring the creativity of artists to new horizons, as shown by the collaborative work of the local arts, education and business sectors, as well as the emphasis shown by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. The global trend is clear — the United Kingdom and South Korea, among others, have announced their respective blueprints for developing arts tech. It is important that the Hong Kong government takes the issue seriously in order not to be left behind — that means setting out a blueprint for the city, while providing proper support in terms of funding, infrastructure and policies.

Four Navy sailors at same command appear to have died by suicide in less than a month
By David Martin, Hannah Fraser-Chanpong
Updated on: December 3, 2022 / 9:27 PM / CBS News
4 sailors assigned to same Navy station die by apparent suicide
4 Navy sailors assigned to the same station appear to have died by suicide in one-month span 01:58
Four Navy sailors appear to have died by suicide over the course of less than a month in the same Navy command in Norfolk, Va., according to a Navy official.
All of them were assigned to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC), which repairs and maintains military ships. Most of the sailors were already on limited-duty status for a variety of mental and physical reasons, the Navy official also confirmed. Their status raises questions about whether there were sufficient health resources available to the sailors. NBC News first reported the suicides.
The official confirmed that 22-year-old Kody Lee Decker, of Virginia, was one of the sailors. An obituary posted by his family said Decker, who died on Oct. 29, was a Navy electronics technician.
His father, Robert Decker, told CBS News he's "furious right now." He said his son had been depressed because of a toxic leader in his previous command.
"The military's got to wake up. They've got to change," said Robert Decker. He added, "I want resources for the sailors, and I want leadership."

A few days later, on Nov. 5, Cameron Armstrong also died, his mother, Sharon Armstrong confirmed. She said her son, whom she described as "very sweet" and "a kind soul," had been in the Navy for about four years, and he had been seeking mental health care from the Navy.

After the first two deaths, the Navy ordered a mental health stand down and brought in Kayla Arestivo, the president of a non-profit counseling service. She had a grim report for the Navy.
"I had definitely made them aware of how inundated our clinical team was with the hopelessness that was happening at that command, and how many people stepped forward and expressed that they also had suicidal ideation with the past year from being at that command," Arestivo said in an interview.
A third apparent suicide occurred the same day as the mental health stand down, and a fourth took place over this past weekend.
This is the second time in a year that the Navy has been confronted with a rash of suicide deaths. It launched an investigation in April after three sailors on the crew of the USS Washington died within one week of each other. The Navy is trying to determine whether there were any underlying causes that led crew members to take their own lives.
The living and working conditions on the carrier, which is undergoing a yearslong overhaul, present challenges for the sailors. While it's in the shipyard at Newport News, Va., the George Washington is essentially a construction zone, where it can be cramped, hot and loud for the crew on board. Top Navy commanders have acknowledged the difficulties faced by the carrier's sailors. The shipyard is not far from the maintenance center where the most recent suicides occurred, just about 30 miles away.
Service members and veterans who are in crisis or having thoughts of suicide, and those who know a service member or veteran in crisis, can call the Military Crisis Line/Veterans Crisis Line for confidential support 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Call 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1 or text 838255 or chat online at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat.
If you or someone you know is in emotional distress or suicidal crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

The Language of Sustainability Part Three Ashkin Calls for a Statement of Support on Sustainability
Earth Day — Why Schools and Universities Should Care
On March 21, 2018, in Default, News, by Ashkin Group
Earth Day is coming up. It is celebrated each year on April 22nd and for many it is a very important event. Most schools and universities will celebrate the day with speeches from environmentalists and school leaders, educational programs, tree plantings, habitat and campus clean-ups, recycling events, energy and water conservation competitions, fairs, community service activities, and more.
It appears that environmental awareness is increasing among students, which is a good thing and should help address green and sustainability issues over the long term. The importance of this cannot be overstated especially since global population has already passed 7 billion on its way to 9 or 10 billion within these student's life time.
Because most of the population growth will come from developing countries that at the same time are becoming more affluent; the demands for food, water, clothing, health services, fuels, building materials, text books, computers and other materials will skyrocket. So too will their cost which will directly affect schools and universities in the US.
Case in point — toilet tissue. The consumption of toilet tissue in the US is 65 pounds per person per year. Just five years ago in China the consumption was only 2 pounds per person per year. Today the demand in China has increased to 10 pounds per person per year – a 5 fold increase! And it is anticipated due to their growing affluence that demand will double in just 3 more years. While China's consumption will still be less than the US's on a per person bases, but due to the fact that their population is 4 times greater than the US, their overall demand will exceed ours. And this will be repeated in developing countries around the world.
While these issues may seem a far distance away or off into the future, but they are already affecting poorer communities in the US as global competition for basic commodities such as energy, water, fuels, food and building materials increase costs for schools and reduce funds for operations and repairs, teacher and staff salaries, supplies, and more. And all of this in a time when funding for schools and universities are declining.
Because schools and universities are finding it increasingly difficult to meet even the most basic cleaning and facility needs, Earth Day can be an excellent opportunity to help students and staff, and perhaps more important the administrators, budget officers and the community members (voters) understand the importance of the facility and custodial departments. It is an opportunity for facility and custodial departments to "beat the drum" and visibly demonstrate the contribution to protecting health while reducing environmental impacts
And if this is not done, it becomes too easy to minimize the importance of the work being done. As the old customer service adage goes — if customers aren't told what is being done for them, customers will assume nothing is being done. This makes it too easy to take the work for granted and cut funding for facilities and custodial activities to fund departments and programs considered more important.
So this year, roll out the "green" carpet and beat the drum. Setup a display and showcase your Green Cleaning program. Proudly explain to students, staff and the community-at-large the efforts by the custodial department to reduce consumption of chemicals, paper, cleaning equipment and other supplies. These reductions can be quantified into environmental savings such as the gallons of petroleum, kilowatts of electricity, cars removed from the road, tons of CO2, trees saved, tons of materials kept out of landfills, and other environmental metrics. And yes, even dollars saved!
Collectively it is making a difference and one that the institution should be proud. Especially on Earth Day.

Welcome to our luxurious and beautifully relaxing "special edition" of the Kristiania Lech in Stuben am Arlberg. Enjoy your own Alpine townhouse at the birthplace of skiing, with some of the world's finest slopes on your doorstep and with every imaginable comfort inside. Please come in, take off your coat and feel at home!
Legendary in style. Hannes Schneider was a pioneer of alpine skiing and his technique has shaped the sport even to this present day. House no. 14 in Stuben was where Hannes Schneider was born in 1890. You may still sense some of his infectious skiing passion inside the house. Although the urge to attack the mountain might be great, there's no pressure at all… You have the whole day to storm the slopes in Schneider's tracks. Upon your return, in your personal sanctuary (the birthplace of an Austrian legend) you will find everything you could ever wish for - pampering, deep relaxation, phenomenally fine dining and luxury at its finest.
Luxurious freedom. After a day on the slopes, in fresh powder or on the prepared pistes riding freestyle through the entire Arlberg resort, you can come home to House Hannes Schneider and simply let go. A pre-heated sauna, a steaming bath, a crackling fire, the best hot chocolate in the whole of Arlberg, an aperitif and a highly skilled team, creating a sumptuous tea, all await your return. Get out of your wet snow things and find a sense of wellbeing, as we take care of your every need in order to make your life perfectly easy.
Beautiful winter sport. Once a place of shelter for travellers and merchants on the difficult journey between Tirol and Vorarlberg, Stuben today is still the welcoming picture-book mountain village it always has been. Throughout the winter months and into May, Stuben's local mountain, the Albona (one of the most impressive northern slopes in the Alps) guarantees snow. Stuben offers runs for everyone, however it's spectacular off piste is a must visit for all off piste enthusiasts and all free-riders. Stuben is conveniently located, providing access to the entire Arlberg ski area and in turn hundreds of kilometres of magnificent slopes. So it really comes as no surprise that Stuben was the birthplace of alpine skiing.
"Europe's fastest skier". Hannes Schneider was one of the first people to discover a passion for spending the winter on a pair of skis and to consider snow a sporting challenge. From 1907, at just 17 years of age, he became Arlberg's first ski instructor, revolutionising skiing with a method based on a system of stemming turns that came to be known as the Arlberg technique. Schneider's personal style of skiing was very fast and agile, and he had an extraordinary, infectious enthusiasm for movement and acrobatic skill. Known as "Europe's fastest skier", he won one international ski race after another.
In 1928 – the same year his namesake Othmar Schneider was born, who was later to become the Austrian Olympic champion and founder of Kristiania Lech – Hannes Schneider, along with the Englishman and skiing pioneer Sir Arnold Lunn, set up the first Arlberg-Kandahar race of Arlberg Ski Club in St. Anton – a combination between downhill racing and slalom. Another legend in the making!
In 1939 Schneider and his family emigrated to the USA, where he took over a ski school in New Hampshire and built up an impressive ski resort in his own style on Mount Cranmore. Schneider died in 1955 in America. Three years earlier, in 1952, Othmar Schneider, by this time no longer simply a namesake but also a friend and skiing protégé of Hannes Schneider, won Austria's first skiing gold medal at the Winter Olympics in Oslo. It was truly something to celebrate for the skiing pioneer from Stuben!
