Jussi Taipalee’s coaching debut brought defeat – Ilves continued Tappara’s downward spiral

The Pelicans, who performed in the league finals in the previous two seasons, did not receive a flying departure for Jussi Taipale, who was responsible coach.

In the opening part of the back-to-back matches, in Lahti, KooKoo defeated the underdog Pelicans with a score of 4–3.

-Taipale has done a good job in the Tappara U20 and with young people, but with a team and organization under this pressure, the head coach is too tough for him, Nättinen estimates.

The loss was third consecutive to the last group of Lahti in the last series.

– I’m disappointed with the performance, especially in the first half hour we couldn’t get any rhythm. It’s not enough to play for 20 minutes in the match (the last round), Pelicans Taipale criticizes.

The company is investigating whether the transaction would be profitable in a growing region.

Kesko is interested in building a new grocery store in Renkomäki, Lahti. The company has booked a plot from the city from Renkomäki, near the intersection of Orimattilankatu. The reservation is valid until the end of 2025.

Lahti Street Care Care Tender is going to the district

The City of Lahti and Yit Road have not agreed on financial disagreements. The mistake in the Excel table was expensive for the city.

The maintenance contract mess in the southern area of \u200b\u200bLahti is about to end up in the district court.

Last fall, Lahti revealed a mess between the city and YIT, which made the street care contract costly for the city.

Due to the error, the target price for the contract in the southern region rose considerably high. The mistake occurred during the tendering process, when the city forgot to include in the tender documents the designated area from which the weeds on the street pavements had to be weeded.

When YIT responded to the offer, it had priced weeding of weeds $ 1,000 per square meter. Normally, the market price for similar work is about 20 cents per square meter.

Häme Chamber of Commerce: The direction of the US trade policy should be followed with a cool head

President Donald Trump’s speeches about customs fees do not scare Lahti-based steel industry company Stalatube, because they already have experience with customs.

– Now it’s good to keep calm and monitor the situation. If we go down the path of imposing tariffs, it will be harmful for everyone.

According to Vanhala, a possible customs fee would also increase the price of products manufactured in the United States that use parts from foreign subcontractors.

Many Hämä companies also operate in the US market, where in addition to exporting, they can have their own production plant or sales organization.

Among other things, more than 90 percent of the production of Stalatube, which manufactures stainless steel pipe beams in Lahti, is exported abroad. In 2023, the company had a turnover of slightly more than 100 million euros.

Next to the sandblasting sand, a patch of gravel appeared – we asked for tips on caring for a slippery backyard

The changing winter weather has drastically increased the demand for sandblasting products.

The variable winter weather has raised the demand for sandblasting products to its peak. We asked hardware stores about the most popular ways to combat slipperiness in your own backyard.

Crushed stone has risen alongside the traditional gravel.

– Many people know crushed stone by the name of lexasora. It is a more expensive product and is suitable for slightly different conditions, continues Huttunen.

The sand is chosen according to the weather
