On Monday, 18 September, the newcomers' aperitif took place in the community hall.

Those invited were welcomed with an impressive performance by the alphorn players "Echo vo dä Bärenegg". Municipal President Stefan Hermann gave the newcomers an insight into the municipality of Walchwil and introduced the individual members of the municipal council.

Manuel Studer, Head of Education/Culture, compared his village with the Gallic village in France and presented its history in words and pictures. He emphasised the stoic character and the cohesion of the people of Walchwil. Brigitte van Dulmen and Patrick Willemsen showed pictures of the many activities and events organised by the associations. They recommended the newcomers to join an association for a quick integration.

After the presentation, the invited guests enjoyed a delicious aperitif to the sound of the alphorn and were presented with cheese, honey and kirsch from Walchwil before going home.

Currently everyone is talking about ChatGPT. But what is behind the term and what added value can the use of AI, especially ChatGPT, offer?

ChatGPT – A Text-Based AI Application
Artificial intelligence (AI for short) refers to computer technologies developed to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. In this process, computers are designed to learn to recognize patterns, make decisions, and solve problems. AI is playing an ever-increasing role in our daily lives, providing us with assistance and convenience through voice assistants like Alexa and Siri, personalized movie recommendations on Netflix, or facial recognition on our smartphone camera.

ChatGPT is an AI program that interacts with users via text according to a question-answer pattern. It can answer questions, write texts, and respond to various requests as if it were a real human. To make this possible, the tool was trained with a large amount of text data to generate contextual and relevant answers. All users have to do is type in a question. The program then answers in complete sentences

Multiple ways of use – private and professional
In private everyday life ChatGPT can be used in many ways. For example, if you want to know what makes Walchwil unique, one of the things mentioned is the strong sense of community with the lively community life, which contributes positively to the social network in our community. You can also look for recipes by asking the program for dinner ideas. If you are looking for entertainment, you can simply chat with the AI application and share jokes or riddles.

In professional life, ChatGPT can also be very useful: For example, you can ask the program for ideas for a creative brand name or have it generate text suggestions for blog articles, emails or product descriptions. The AI tool can also support research by providing information on specific topics.

The potential fields of use for ChatGPT are many and varied. It can help in numerous situations, answer questions, give ideas, and save time, making it a useful tool in everyday private and professional life.

Human vs. ChatGPT: Will we soon be replaced by AI?
No! AI can help us in many areas, especially when it comes to automating repetitive tasks or analyzing large amounts of data, but human expertise is still essential! For example, AI cannot fully replicate the creativity, strategic thinking, and empathy of humans. However, learning the right way to use AI tools can be rewarding for us both personally and professionally!

Are you interested in the use of AI? We will be happy to advise and train you!

Since the renovation of the railway line on the eastern shore of Lake Zug, buses on route 5 between Zug railway station and Walchwil have only been running every hour, due to the public transport services set by the Canton of Zug. On the initiative of local residents, the city council decided to order additional journeys and thus to extend the bus service to half-hourly intervals again.

The new timetable

No one enjoys the sight of this.

Walchwil undoubtedly has a well-functioning waste disposal system. Nevertheless, even in our beautiful village, rubbish ends up in nature time and again.

Along Walchwil's roads and footpaths, one encounters carelessly discarded rubbish time and again. Throwing away or leaving rubbish in public places and in nature is not only ugly to look at, it also has serious ecological and economic consequences. We don't want that in Walchwil! Please take the rubbish with you and dispose of it properly.

A speed limit of 30 km/h in town centres is no longer a rarity in Switzerland. Introducing it in Walchwil in the Engel/Sternen/Oberdorfstrasse/Aesch triangle should at least be worth a discussion.

According to surveys, safety is an important need for many residents of a locality. A speed limit of 30 km/h in town centres has been shown to increase the safety of all road users, be they children, senior citizens, pedestrians or cyclists. Thanks to lower speeds, communication among all road users improves, aggressive behaviour decreases and mutual consideration grows.

The number and severity of traffic accidents in neighbourhoods also decreases at a speed of 30 km/h. Based on extensive accident evaluations, it can be statistically determined that the consequences of injuries worsen disproportionately with increasing speed. At lower speeds, school routes become less dangerous and slower road users feel safer.

Under certain circumstances, a speed limit of 30 kph may even create space for playing and social activities. Drivers also lose little time, but have a better view of the traffic situation. Meanwhile, residents living in a 30 km/h zone enjoy more peace and quiet and a better quality of life.

The legal basis for 30 km/h, i.e. for a deviation from the general speed limit, is Art. 108 SSV (Signalling Ordinance) of 1979. Paragraph 1 of the article states that the speed limit may be restricted in particular to avoid or reduce particular hazards, to reduce excessive pollution and to improve traffic flow.

The Duo Take2 made the hearts of the unfortunately sparse jazz lovers on the village square beat faster and also thrilled with blues, bebop and bossa. The repertoire ranged from well-known jazz standards to swing and bossa nova to selected pop songs of past decades. It was a pity that not more people found their way to the village square on this balmy evening! This duo would have deserved more fans.

Giovanni Bretti and Florian Müller are history. A new coach for the first team was needed.

After the resignation of coach Giovanni Bretti and the sabbatical of Florian Müller, the coaching position of the first team of FC Walchwil was orphaned.

After a short, intensive search for a new coach, FC Walchwil found what they were looking for and was able to sign 51-year-old Vilson Simoni from Arth for the coaching position. Simoni last coached the A Juniors of FC Goldau with great success and is looking forward to his new task in Walchwil.

The senior citizens' barbecue in the parish centre was a complete success.

60 people came to the traditional event in summery temperatures. The seniors enjoyed delicious grilled meats and a variety of salads. An excellent dessert at the end concluded the great afternoon.

More pictures see photo gallery.

The singers of the yodelling club "Edelweiss" and the alphorn group "Echo vo de Bärenegg" from Walchwil were able to start their journey home not only with many beautiful memories, but also with awards in their luggage.

Accordingly, the associations were received with much praise and enthusiasm at their "home" on Sunday. The local council under the leadership of Stefan Hermann even invited the successful participants to an official reception.

Joyful welcome
To the sounds of the music society and the applause of the audience, the yodelling club "Edelweiss" and the alphorn group "Echo vo de Bärenegg" marched into the village square. Numerous associations from the village positioned themselves with their flags to greet the yodellers to the beat of the music.

 

The band "UnderCover" with the three experienced musicians from Schwyz played a wide range of rock covers. During their performance, the three musicians from Schwyz not only provided a good mood, but also excellent music. Thanks to the wide selection of music from rock history, many visitors were able to reminisce about their youth.

The Edelweiss Walchwil Yodelling Club - traditional, surprising and diverse, just like the Yodelling Festival!

Founded in 1932, the choir is one of the older yodelling clubs in the canton of Zug and consists of 20 active yodellers. In addition to the farmer's wife from Zugerberg and the forester from Walchwil, the expat with roots in Trinidad Tobago and the immigrant financial consultant from Austria also yodel in the traditional choir. In this way, the yodelling club is also a reflection of the Canton of Zug of our time: rooted in folk traditions, but also open to new things. The choir is always open to experimental projects, such as the recent cover of a pop rock song, but it also fervently cultivates the traditional form of natural yodelling. In the 92nd year of its existence, the yodelling club continues to delight young and old with its singing, in a few days also at the Federal Yodelling Festival in Zug and already now on Youtube with the yodelling cover of Patent Ochsner's "Für immer uf di".

A man slid down an embankment with an excavator. The 79-year-old man suffered significant injuries in the work accident.

On Wednesday (3 May 2023), at 10:45 am, a work accident occurred at Turnliberg in Walchwil. A 79-year-old man was spreading gravel with an excavator when the excavator suddenly tilted and slid down the slope. The 79-year-old man was seriously injured in the accident. Members of the Zug emergency medical services attended to the casualty. After initial medical treatment, Rega flew him to a hospital outside the canton.

The municipal council has taken note of the 2022 financial statement. The 2022 income statement shows a surplus of CHF 2.0 million with revenues of CHF 26.5 million and expenses of CHF 24.5 million. A surplus of CHF 42,000 was budgeted.

From 1 June 2023, Walchwil will begin to financially support renewable energy sources. The funds earmarked for this in the budget are to be used to promote photovoltaic systems.

The contributions are intended for existing buildings where a new photovoltaic system is to be installed or an existing one is to be replaced by one with better performance. The ordinance on the new energy law of the Canton of Zug will be in force from 1 January 2023. New buildings are therefore excluded from the support programme because renewable energies are a prerequisite for them and are therefore legally required.

The municipality of Walchwil has earned the label "energy town" through its many years of commitment in the field of energy. The associated energy mission statement shows that the municipality wants to promote renewable energy. The corresponding guidelines will come into force on 1 June 2023.

In the 2023 budget, CHF 50,000.– are earmarked for the financing of photovoltaic systems. Applications for subsidies can be submitted from 1 June 2023. Applications received before this deadline cannot be considered. It is mandatory to submit an application before the construction is realised. It is pointed out that the building law aspects must be taken into account and coordinated in advance with the Building/Planning Department.

The commune council wants to make a concrete contribution to a future-oriented energy policy with contributions to the promotion of renewable energy sources.

On 7 March, the General Assembly of the Women's Community of Walchwil took place with great participation.

After the memorial service in the chapel of the Mütschi old people's home in honour of the deceased of the Women's Community, a delicious dinner was served at the Restaurant Aesch. Strengthened, they then proceeded to the 102. General Assembly, which was opened by Nicole Rust. 

The Women's Community is deeply rooted in Walchwil with all its sub-organisations. It is a community of women, regardless of age, status, nationality, denomination and politics. A broad social network is created through the many women who volunteer. Values such as social anchoring, culture, tradition, further education and health care are cultivated with various favourable offers throughout the year. The focus is always on the community.

Dear Walchwil residents,
dear patients

After more than 28 years as a family doctor in Walchwil, I am handing over my practice to younger hands as of the new year. I am pleased to have found two experienced doctors in Dr. med. Dario Pianezzi & Dr. med. Robert Schweingruber. Thanks to their roots in central Switzerland and their many years of work at the Zug Cantonal Hospital, both senior physicians have excellent networks.

They will begin their work in the practice on 1 March 2023.

The relief associated with the transfer of the practice will allow me to continue to pursue my beloved work as a family doctor with vigour.

I am also pleased that the existing team of doctors will be strengthened with Dr. med. Dagmar Pable, Dr. med. Rahel Hüsser and Dr. med. univ. Karin Piribauer.

The working hours required for GP care in the community have increased in parallel with the number of inhabitants and the reinforcement by the two doctors is more than highly welcome and also necessary.

I would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us over the years and hope that you will also show this to the new colleagues.

For about a month now, two digital village entrance steles have been sending a warm welcome to the numerous passers-by and drivers at the entrance to the village.

And not only that. The two entrance signs provide information on events organised by the associations and the municipality. They replace the previous two welcome boards. With the new solution, several events can be displayed simultaneously on the digital information boards at intervals of around 30 seconds. This reduces the time and effort needed to produce posters for the organisers and associations. In future, they will be able to submit their events in digital form..

The municipality prepares the events and messages in a uniform appearance and they appear later on the village entrance after a few clicks. The village entrance points also serve to provide information about the parking situation on the sunny Walchwilerberg on foggy days.

Organic Natura Beef

Quality meat - from natural feeding. Bio Natura-Beef is meat from 10-month-old calves from suckler cow husbandry. We market our meat regionally. This also means that our butchers Theiler in Allenwinden (sanktmeinradhof.ch) and Uelihof in Ebikon (uelihof.ch) are only a few kilometres away. This also keeps the transport distance for the animals as short as possible. After slaughter, the meat is stored on the bone for 10 days to mature. This makes the meat tender and juicy. Then it is portioned, vacuum-packed and labelled. It is ready packed and can be collected from our farm.

Buy mixing packs

We sell 10 kg mixing packages. One package contains:

– Filet oder Huft
– Entrecote
– Hohrücken
– Plätzli à la minute
– Saftplätzli
– Braten
– Ragout
– Geschnetzeltes
– Hackfleisch
– Siedfleisch

Price per kilogram CHF 32.–

Shelf life: 12 months frozen.

Minutes of the municipal assembly of June 21, 2022
The minutes are unanimously approved.

Change of the zone plan "Wihel"; rezoning of the properties nr. 887 and nr. 1571 from the zone OeIB to the original zone W3
The zone plan amendment "Wihel"; rezoning of the properties no. 887 and no. 1571 from the zone OeIB to the original zone W3 is approved by a large majority.

Partial revision of the fee tariff in the building sector
The partial revision of the tariff of fees for construction is unanimously approved.

Budget 2023 – Determination of the tax rate
The reduction of the tax rate of the municipality of Walchwil for the year 2023 from 55% to 53% of the cantonal standard rate is approved by a large majority. The budget of the income statement and the investment account for the year 2023 is unanimously approved.

A motion to add CHF 300,000 to the 2023 budget investment account for the planning and construction of photovoltaic systems on municipal properties was not approved by a large majority.

The adjustment of the cost-of-living increase in 2023 on the annual salaries of municipal staff (except teaching staff) in accordance with the decision of the government council of the canton of Zug for the annual salaries of state and teaching staff is unanimously approved.

Financial plan 2023-2026
The financial plan 2023 to 2026 is noted.

The municipal council is forecasting an income surplus of CHF 20ʹ000 for 2023 and a reduced tax rate of 53% (previous year 55%).

The income statement for 2023 foresees expenses of CHF 23,672,900 and income of CHF 23,692,900, resulting in an income surplus of CHF 20,000. This budgeted surplus is based on the proposed reduced tax rate of 53%. Compared to the 2022 budget, expenses are CHF 1,690,800 higher, mainly due to extraordinary and one-off expenses for the one-off write-off of the centre planning as well as IT migration and the "Integrated Communication" project. In addition, personnel costs will also increase due to additional planned positions (notary's office, school secretary and communications specialist), individual increases in staffing levels and inflation. The 2023 budget also foresees an increase in income of CHF 1,668,800 compared to the previous year as a result of a slight increase in expected tax income and the higher expected income from property gains tax.

In 2023, investments of CHF 3.24 million are planned, of which CHF 1.02 million for the renovation of the Vorderbergstrasse (Dorfbach-Blimoos) and the Gerbiweg. In the area of drainage, a new construction and two renovations of sewage pipes amounting to CHF 1.04 million are planned. The investment bill also includes CHF 300,000 for the integration costs of restructuring the IT for the administration and expanding the network, CHF 200,000 for a replacement of the fire brigade's command vehicle, CHF 145,000 for a new municipal vehicle (postponed from 2022) and CHF 100,000 for the renovation of the landing stage (also postponed from 2022).

Under the motto "join in - stay fit" we meet every Thursday in the gym or in summer outside to do something together for our fitness - but also for fun & games. And about once a month we devote ourselves to social activities.

We are active and adventurous men from the age of 30 to over 80. Exercise, fitness, fun and sociability as well as camaraderie are more important to us than sporting excellence. So there is often hearty laughter during the game. After the "fit" there is a small drink to discuss current weekly topics or simply to quench the thirst.

In addition to gymnastics, we go on excursions and actively participate in village life. Trained or untrained, all are welcome.

Would you like to do some exercise in a friendly, sociable atmosphere? Then sign up for a non-binding trial training.

The website punkt-walchwil.ch, an initiative by the local newspaper designer Kurt Hildbrand, wants to inform people without commercial interests about the different aspects and characteristics of Walchwil’s village life: about everyday happenings, politics, economy, culture and sports. It wants to act as a digital link between long-established local groups and interests, but also help newcomers from Switzerland and abroad to settle in better in the community.

It wants to report, but also to entertain - as a varied and colorful kaleidoscope of Walchwil and its population. The website does not want to be a one-way street, but rather strives to be an interactive medium to whose content all Walchwil residents, regardless of their origin, political leaning or world view, are cordially invited to contribute. punkt-walchwil.ch wants to be on target.
