The suspects have been in custody since last fall. Last today, for one of the accused, the district court has decided on a re -prisoner.

The restoration of the bird sanctuary at the bottom of Kilpiäistenpohja will start in spring-winter – the artificial island will provide more nesting sites for birds

Without restoration measures, the natural values of the nature reserve on the border between Lahti and Hollola will deteriorate further.

The Kilpiäistenpohja bird sanctuary on the border between Lahti and Hollola will be restored in the spring and winter.

The artificial island will be built as a nesting site for birds, with the aim of restoring the population of barn owls in the area and supporting other birds such as the highly endangered red-necked eagle.

It is expected that without restoration measures, the natural values of the Kilpiäinenpohja will further deteriorate.

– As the area can be cleared more open, the birds are easier to nest. Other nature values \u200b\u200band birdwatchers in the area will also benefit from open terrain, says Mäntynen.

Head coach Sami Kapanen and Pelicans get out of their slump together

The Lahti Ice Hockey League team has plenty to play for in the final matches of the regular season. Coaching has also brought meaning to Kapanen’s everyday life.

Kapanen was hired in early February, and since then the team has lost just one match after a long losing streak.

The head coach also praises the coaching team, which has welcomed him with ease.

The Lahti side still have eight games left in the regular season, but Kapanen doesn’t want to go forward thinking about Pelicans’ playoff hopes or relegation fears.

According to Kapanen, it is a good idea to focus on things that are under the control of the team, that is, to run piece at a time.

Mannerheim statue removed from the parade ground – even a provocative council initiative gets the official treatment

When a councillor wants to raise a specific issue for decision, it is not customary to ask for a price tag. The councillor’s right of initiative is part of democracy.

From time to time, a single councillor gets a lot of publicity.

The initiative went through all the political decision-making bodies in Heinola and finally, in January, the city council beat it to the punch. According to the response, the textbook is not the only source of upper secondary education, and students are also advised to be critical of the content of textbooks.

The initiative sparked a colourful debate about Marshal Mannerheim, but the statue remained in place.

Yle explored what the office of the council has and how it proceeds in the municipal decision -making machinery.

Climate change and fewer children threaten to kill snow sports – Lahti Ski Museum presents winter activities

People in topsuits are still getting excited about snowsports, even as winters become more fragmented. Finnish children still enjoy the snow better than children in other countries.

In the new exhibition at the Lahti Ski Museum, you can play in a snowball fight, crawl into a snow castle, build icicles under the eaves of the building and see what you can find under the snow in spring.

For children, the exhibition offers plenty to do, while older visitors can reminisce about winters of the past, but also reflect on the impact of climate change on the environment.

Each year is different, but the variation in snowfall that we have seen this winter will have to be adapted to in the future.

Fragmentation is becoming more common.
