Freedom of traffic in Lage Mierde and major weapon discovery: this happened today

From a major weapon discovery on the Oirschotse heath to freedom of traffic in Lage Mierde: these are the five stories you must read on Monday.

Jos (71) from Best made a striking discovery during his walk on the Oirschotse Heide: a Defense training weapon of over a meter long. It turns out to be a Panzerfaust 3 training version, a weapon with which soldiers can normally take out tanks and armored vehicles. The Defense Department was still training at the time and had temporarily abandoned the weapon. Jos neatly handed in the find to the military police, who responded calmly because it was a practice version. Read the whole story here.

And from this week, the village center of Lage Mierde will be off-limits for trucks and tractors. The residents are relieved that the noise over the old cobblestones is finally a thing of the past. For years, heavy traffic caused shaking windows, unsafe situations and damage to the roads. Drivers who ignore the signs and still drive through the center risk a fine of 130 euros. Only suppliers, buses and farmers are still allowed to pass through. Check it out here.

There is also sports news. NAC Breda is not in favor of the judge in the summary proceedings against the KNVB. The club wanted the match against Go Ahead Eagles (6-0 loss) to be replayed because the home team had fielded an ineligible player. However, the preliminary relief judge states that the KNVB has carefully weighed all interests and rightly decided not to declare the match invalid. With two games to go and six points behind, NAC now needs a miracle to avoid relegation. You can read the story here.

Finally, rare film images of Jewish dancer Roosje Glaser from Den Bosch have surfaced. The wartime films show how Roosje and her dance company remained full of zest for life, despite the dark clouds hanging over their lives. She hid the statues in the garden in 1942 just before her deportation to concentration camps. There too she continued to dance, even for SS men, to continue to feel human. The unique films can now be seen on BrabantinBeelden of the BHIC in Den Bosch. You can read the whole story here.
