''STORY ABOUT SWISS RUNNER''

Thursday, 14 September 2006
Pleasant Grove woman wins race at Swiss Days Print E-mail
LAURA C. GILES - North County Staff   
A combination of hard work, discipline, and a love for running helped Pleasant Grove resident Andrea Scheuber come in first place at the Swiss Days 10K race in Midway.
The race, held on Sept. 2, began at 7 a.m. and included 314 runners. Scheuber, 30, placed first in her category of women ages 30-34. She finished the race with a time of 43:12.1 and placed sixth overall.
This year was the 60th anniversary of the Midway Swiss Days, an event that began as a celebration of bountiful harvest. It now attracts thousands of visitors each year and helps to raise funds for community projects.
Early settlers of the area came from Switzerland and the event celebrates with Swiss food, Swiss stories, and merchandise.
Scheuber also has reason to celebrate the Swiss heritage. She moved to Pleasant Grove one year ago from Switzerland with husband, Volker, and children, Kim and Liam. As a teenager, she ran cross-country and enjoyed mountain running in Switzerland. In 2003, she was the Swiss champion mountain runner. The mountain races require running 10-12 miles up very steep terrain.
"I love the mountain runs," said Scheuber.
To train, Scheuber runs for one hour each day, often to the "G" and back, in Grovecreek Canyon, or along the canal by her home.
"I have never had training opportunities so close," she said.
According to Scheuber, "Americans are amazing. They exercise so early in the mornings. At 6 a.m., the road by the canal is full of people. In Europe, we do our work in the evenings."
In addition to running, Scheuber works out daily using the Nia technique. Nia (Neuromuscular Integrative Action) is a combination of martial arts, yoga, dance, and spiritual self-healing. She has been a Nia instructor for four years.
Discipline is necessary to have success with running as she has had. When talking about the Swiss Days race, Scheuber said, "It was my goal to win. It was chilly and fresh. It was a really fast run."
In addition to the Swiss Days 10K, she has also competed in other marathons and triathlons. In 1998, she had the opportunity to run the New York Marathon. Earlier this year, she took second place at the Freedom Run 10K in Provo. Exercising is not the only thing that Scheuber enjoys. She also loves to cook and write. In Switzerland, she wrote a children's book titled "A Travel Beyond Your Dreams" (translated from German.)
And, she will begin teaching Nia on Sept. 19 at the Pleasant Grove Recreation Center, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 7 a.m.

Testing

Actually it was kind of a test. Want to see what pops up when we
search. It does beg the question of what would we rename the site??
Thoughts?

''FIVE CENTS''

GEOFF, I LIKE WHAT YOU DID WITH THE TITLE------- WOULD WORK FOR ME.!!!!!!
THANKS AND TAKE CARE.  FROM YOUR F.B.I. PERSON.

Okay, another two cents, which makes four cents in all

I just re-read my last post. I'm not sure that my wording made my thoughts clear. What I meant was that the first and last names should not be used together. Actually, it's the last name, as Geoffrey put it, it's the "S" word  that makes it possible for people to search and come to the site. Just as a test: If you go to google.com and type in Ernie or Bill and the "S" word you will see a listing that will bring you right to the "S" International News site. You can try it with any relative name and the "S" word. If we use just first names this won't happen in the future. Unfortunately as long as old posts have first and last names it will continue.

NOTE: I just put the "S" word in google and my last entry about this whole name and search thing came up on the list. I was able to click it and get into the blog. Also it seems that google will take names out of whole paragraphs and highlight them. In other words, you can have "Bill" in one sentence and then a couple of sentences later have the "S" word, and google will find the two. So, it's not just the first and last names together, but when they appear in the same paragraph, or even the same page that makes the site accessible when someone searches a name.

My two cents

In this new era of identity theft and internet scams and various predators we should keep privacy in mind. I recommend  not using cousins, aunts, or uncles first and last names in any message posted on the Scheuber International News blog site. When a first and last name is used in any blog message search engines such as google will list the Scheuber International News after the name is used in a search. This give the searcher direct access to the site.

Anyone in the world who has access to any family members name can use a search engine such as google or yahoo, and be brought straight into the Scheuber International News, filled with private family information. Once in the sight they can use the blog search to narrow their search. As an example: Those family members who are job hunting can then have potential employers use the name on the resume to search on google and be lead to Scheuber International News and private family news that should be left out of the professional workplace . In the case of safety for children, strangers can get into the sight and obtain information as to where the children live and what schools they go to, as well as other information.The Scheuber International News is a fun place to keep in touch within the family. Let's keep it that way and keep strangers out by not using first and last names within any blog message.

Thanks,

Just "Cousin David" or  "David"

Advice Needed

Hello All. Wow...I haven't been on here for a bit and it took awhile to get caught up! David, great pictures, Happy belated Birthday Auntie Jan...loved the insight on virtual softball for Aja, congrats to Annie and Tom as well on his new production, and welcome to our new found 11th cousin Elizabeth!

Recently the issue of security has come up again. Since this site is very public and very easy to get to....AND very easy to search for, there is a concern that our personal data could fall into the wrong hands.

I'd like opinions on how we should address this. There are many ways. We could password the whole thing...my least favorite. We could delete old posts...however that eliminates good family stories and archives. We could use only first names, and remove any reference to the "S" word altogether. I'm open to suggestions.

Think about it, post your thoughts. We'll figure out a solution.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Geoff

Gametracker

Hey all you sports fans out there.  You can use Gametracker to check out Aja Scheuber and her team in action. When Auntie Fran  first told she  was watching Aja's game on Gametracker, I was dumbfounded as to what she meant.  She game me directions on how to click my way through the  Bulldogs site to arrive at the listed games.  You can watch the game as it is happening or you can replay the game.  You are not going to see a live Aja or live team members, but you will see these little token people on an imaginary ball field move around the bases, see the ball go in the direction of the hit and a message will tell you about the play.  I like to replay a game since it goes really fast.  Maybe Auntie Fran can postpost the directions.  olemarge

Welcome to Elizabeth

After looking into the Das Buch der Scheuber book it certainly looks like Elizabeth has found some unknown relatives.  Maybe some of you other Scheubers have checked this out already.  A Christine Scheuber, daughter of Konrad Scheuber married a Melch Christen.  She says that her 9th grandmother was Christina Scheuber, daughter of Konrad Scheuber and married a Melchior Christen.  Looks like a match!!   Hope we hear more from her.  olemarge

Scheuber Genealogy

Greetings from California

 

I have recently started researching my ancestry.  My 9th great grandmother was Christina Scheuber (daughter of Bruder Konrad Scheuber) who married Melchior Christen.  My father, Alfred Eduard Christen, and mother, Elsa Maria Odermatt, immigrated from Switzerland to the US in 1957. 

 

I came across the “Scheuber International News” website today, and I can’t help but wonder if any of you Scheubers might be related to me.  Is there anyone of your group who is the family historian that I could communicate with and exchange info to see if my family tree crosses with yours? And if so, can you either give that person’s  contact info or give my contact info to that person?

 

I appreciate your consideration,

 

Elizabeth (Christen) Palmer

Final Stats
SAN DIEGO, Calif. -On day two of the Campbell Cartier Classic hosted by San Diego State, the Bulldogs continued to play as they did on day one. The Bulldogs defeated UCSB 8-0 and have now scored 26 runs in the last three games and given up just one to their opponents. Fresno State improves to 5-0 on the season while UCSB dropped to 2-5.
Freshman Morgan Melloh pitched a gem once again. She had her second-straight complete game shutout as she allowed only four hits with six strikeouts.
The game was tied going into the fourth when senior Aja Scheuber hit her first home run of the season, a two-run bomb to left field which scored Andrea Ortega from first.

relay for Life in Modesto

The Pefferman girls found out recently that their dance performances happen to be scheduled the same day  as the first day of Relay for Life.   They are so upset that they are trying to convince their parents that they should bow out of performing since they do not want to miss Relay for Life.  Don't think their parents are going to spend all that money on dance lessons to allow them to miss their performance.    They will come to Modesto as soon as the performances end.  Way to go Girls!

And the Winner is .... Anne Coleman!!!!!!

Hello Everyone,

 

There’s exciting news at the Coleman house.  Anne was named South Turlock’s Junior Miss on Saturday night!!  She did an excellent job and we are so proud of her and her efforts.  She shares the honor with Elizabeth Arakelian, who was named North Turlock’s Junior Miss.  In addition to the title, Anne was awarded the Be Your Best Self Award for community service, and the Scholastic Award for her academic record.

 

It was a tough day and night for Anne, as just prior to her oral interview with the panel of judges her voice was marginal from the lingering affects of a cough and cold.  A quick nap prior to the interview restored it long enough to endure the 10-minute interview and then she returned home for a 4-hour nap.  She left for the performance with a 100.8 temperature (and a lot of Tylenol and Acetaminophen) in her system.  In true Anne form, she persevered to the finish!

 

Lots of family was there to support and congratulate her including Vovo and Grandpa, Aunt Karyn, Uncle Mark, Cousin Kathryn, Oma, Opa, Uncle Marc Coleman, Tante Rona, and Tante Kelly.  Of course, Jeff and I were there with the boys, too!

 

Thanks for your well wishes and prayers.  Anne Franziska brought pride to the Scheuber name!  Now she’s off to Rohnert Park in August for the state competition.  I’ll keep you posted!

 

Lots of love,

Lori
