Konrad Stefan Montsko died peacefully on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2024, at Great River Klein Center in West Burlington. He was born on March 21, 1949, to Stefan and Maria (Gurka) Montsko, in Hohen Schönberg, Mecklenburg, near the Baltic Sea in East Germany. His family was resettled after World War II from Czechoslovakia to East Germany, fled to West Germany in 1952, and immigrated to the United States in 1956. He graduated from Notre Dame High School in 1965. He belonged to SS. Mary and Patrick Catholic Church in West Burlington, Divine Mercy Parish. Konrad worked in a variety of industries, including manufacturing of agricultural equipment, military ammunition, commercial building systems, and food products. He worked in construction and sold life insurance. He was very sociable and especially enjoyed jobs as a bartender and a casino poker dealer. Once he retired, he offered rides to many folks who happened to need transportation for errands or appointments, and he helped homebound friends. Konrad loved taking photos at social gatherings, and especially of nature all around him in every season and in every kind of light. He enjoyed card and board games. He joined a bowling league and liked to play pool. His great adventure was skydiving. He hated shopping and did not care about accumulating or managing stuff. Even as a child, he gave any unused items away. Konrad had a kind and generous nature and deep faith, with an impulsive mischievous fun side. He was grateful for whatever blessings came his way and for all the friends and acquaintances who shared or touched his life, including all the interesting residents at the Friedenheim community where he lived for several years. He was moved by all the thoughtful folks who visited him at Klein Center. And he was thankful for the excellent care provided by the dedicated Klein Center staff. Konrad was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his sister, Anna, of Park Ridge, Illinois, and a few remaining scattered cousins.

New Delhi: Following BJP's decisive victory in Maharashtra, the party intends to adopt comparable tactics in Delhi. BJP's Delhi manifesto will feature various welfare programmes, with plans to introduce a direct cash transfer scheme for women , similar to the successful initiative in Maharashtra that is largely credited for the Mahayuti alliance's triumph there. IPL 2025 mega auction IPL Auction 2025: Who got whom IPL 2025 Auction: Updated Full Team Squads The Mahayuti govt launched the Ladki Behna Yojana in June 2023, providing monthly financial support to underprivileged women. The scheme offers Rs 1,500 monthly to qualifying women aged 21-65 years with annual family earnings below Rs 2.5 lakh. The scheme permits one unmarried woman per household to participate. A high-ranking BJP official indicated that their manifesto committee would develop a direct cash transfer scheme specifically designed for women. He said that there could be some cap on it, but it is still at the formation stage. He said that the strategy for Delhi draws from their recent success, incorporating welfare schemes that proved effective in the Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh assembly elections. The party aims to implement women-focused programmes as a key electoral promise, he said. AAP govt in its 2024-25 budget also proposed the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana, which awaits implementation. The govt has allocated Rs 2,000 crore for women's welfare through this scheme. It promises Rs 1,000 monthly to Delhi's female voters above 18 years who neither pay taxes nor receive other govt benefits. However, this programme is yet to see the light of day, but AAP will push for it ahead of polls. AAP won a whopping 67 (2015) and 62 seats (2020) in the last two state polls. The upcoming election, however, presents significant hurdles as BJP is targeting issues like Yamuna cleaning, the condition of roads and the allegedly expensive renovation of the CM's official residence at Flag Staff Road. Another BJP functionary said that the party was also working on job security, wage revision and scholarships for students. "A large section of people works in unorganised sectors and complain of lack of job security and the lack of minimum wages. Those who work in the govt sector also complain of regularisation of contractual jobs not being undertaken." He said the party, in its announcements ahead of polls as well as in its manifesto, would address all these concerns.
