“If we don’t have enough money for anything else, we’ll build a town hall!” August 10, 1989
You once got the people of the government together and discussed – “Our library is falling apart, the schools are full to bursting, the sea is not suitable for swimming, there is no swimming pool either. We also don’t have any cozy or guest-friendly food places. Not to mention the living conditions of ordinary people, it is not safe to walk on a dark side street. What to talk about the streets, the burial places of ancestors are in the possession of looters with impunity, and whoever manages to protect the dead, try for yourself how they will manage. What’s gone is gone. That’s why we think it’s the right time to build a new town hall! Besides, the competing government or political party has its own proud and spacious house, how else can we have a power struggle if we don’t even have a proper and new house.” So they decided among themselves and announced a competition for the building project.
“The first 300,000 kr at the library of Läänemaa”, August 11, 1994
This year we have 300,000 kr promised to move the library to the cultural center, Ilme Sepp, the director of the Lääne county library, announced on Monday evening. “We requested 2.7 million kroons from the government to transfer the library to the cultural center,” reminded director Ilme Sepp.
About the 300,000 kroner received from the government, people in Haapsalu are shaking their heads: nothing can be done with such a small amount of money. “Laar was supposed to come to Haapsallu, for a holiday trip, but this is an opportunity to talk to him about the library again,” said Deputy Mayor Hannes Danilov.
“A New Awakening Time in Peraküla”, August 10, 1999
In Peraküla, which has only a few farms, there was a simman with a plan on Saturday, which attracted people from two parts of Nõva parish and two film crews from ETV. Viive Ernesaks, who lives in Vanatoa in Peraküla, made his village and the people of Nõva play in the story of how Peraküla came to be, along with about 50 people with a choir. “They don’t play, they are,” said Ago-Endrik Kerge, who wrote the historical material collected by Paali Silvi, aka Silvi Koppelmaa, into the play before the performance began. That’s exactly how it was later on stage.
“Tiit Madisson links staying as mayor to erecting scandalous memorial”, August 10, 2004
On Friday, a memorial to the soldiers who died in the Second World War will be erected at the Lihula gymnasium. However, if it happens that the pillar has to be taken down due to the pressure of the government or the local population, the mayor Tiit Madisson will resign. “Along with the pillar, the mayor of Lihula is also leaving, because he is ashamed and embarrassed in front of the men who shed blood for the freedom of Estonia. It is even more embarrassing for the slave-minded rulers,” writes Tiit Madisson on the opinion page of today’s Lääne Elu.
“The foundation created by Olari Taal builds a nature house for young people”, August 11, 2009
A week ago, the cornerstone was laid for the educational building of the nature education center to be built in the Silma nature reserve in the village of Saunja, the construction of which will cost over four million kroons. The center, which will be completed in October, is financed by the foundation created by former Riigikogu member Olari Taal, which, according to council member Tiit Randla, consists largely of Taal’s money. “Environmental education is one way to make good use of the third sector,” he said. Taal himself prefers to remain in the background in this matter. “He is a gentleman with a great sense of mission,” added Randla.

The memorial stone of the Russian soldiers who died in the Second World War, which was near the Taebla school, has been moved, and the remains of the 11 victims found in the mass grave there will be reburied in the Maardu cemetery. “The grave has been moved correctly, but the local heritage protection officer has been forgotten about this undertaking,” stated Kalli Pets, advisor to the Läänemaa Heritage Protection Board. He added that all necessary permits were still in place for exhuming the remains from the grave and removing the grave marker listed as a cultural monument.
