Editorial Dear Readers in the United States Are you sad that Switzerland didn’t even reach the group of 16 at the Soc- cer World Championship? Well, all is not lost. Check out the article on page 3 about the mock Championship in New York. Hopp Swiss Jaguars!!! Everysummer itt is tradition forthe Swiss Singing Society Harmonie to have a picnic. It used to be in the mountains, but we are getting older and the
idea of not having to lug your folding chair or sitting on a blanket instead 1 of on a chair is more and more appealing. So for the last 10 years we hosted the picnic in our garden. You definitely can’t call it a picnic anymore. Peo- ple outdo themselves in bringing fantastic salads and outlandish desserts. Sigi buys the Bratwurst and Rudi is our Master Grill-Chef. Many things are homemade. Harmonie does not only have good singers, they are also good Master Grill-Chef Ruedi Buergi cooks: This year, Martin brought his traditional Züpfe, Manfred baked a Linzertorte, Huldi baked Schenkeli and Madeleines, Sophie’s Potato-Salad is legendary and our newest member Irene surprised us with a wonderful carrot salad. But just have a look for yourself!
I hope that you all had an enjoyable 1st of August and have a wonderful summer. WAL BAUR, EDITOR, [email protected] Regional news
The center island is occupied by salads, zopf and bread and the kitchen table is converted into a dessert buffet

Swiss Chaplin Home a Museum
Charlie Chaplin’s last home in Switzerland will become a Museum. Planned for decades, London and Los Angeles competed for this honor. Switzerland, however won out to feature the “Screen Legends Museum” as Chaplin was happiest in Corsey-sur-Vevey according to his son, Michael Chaplin. Chaplin was barred from the United States during the years of McCarthyism, as the organization suspected him of harboring communistic sympa- thies. He returned only briefly twenty years later to receive an honorary Academy Award for his life’s work. Charlie Chaplin lived for 20 years in Corsey-sur-Vevey on the Lake of Geneva and enjoyed a happy family life with his wife Oona with whom he had eight children. This reporter was fortunate enough to have met Chaplin and his wife personally at a reception on a movie set. The Museum will feature objects of his life and highlight his career from the early beginnings in the Music Halls of his native London to stardom in Hollywood in such films as: The Little Tramp, The Immigrant, City Lights, The Great Dictator and more. The Museum will open in two years. DORIS RITZI [email protected]
