I Love America Because...
She offers refuge to all who need her. From 1892 to 1954, Ellis Island was the site of the U.S. Immigration station where over 12 million people entered the United States. Spanning 27 acres, Ellis Island once supported 29 buildings. Now the only portion open to the public is the main building, which has been fully restored and converted into a U.S. Immigration Museum. Many Americans can trace their history to Ellis Island.
“We came to America, either ourselves or in the persons of our ancestors, to better the ideals of men, to make them see finer things than they had seen before, to get rid of things that divide, and to make sure of the things that unite.” (Woodrow Wilson).
. She continues to observe her independence with celebration. Yearly, people • gather to march in parades,
view spectacular fireworks, and reunite with family and friends. The Fourth of July has grown into a grand celebration. In 1824, the first organized citizen procession celebrating July 4lh occurred. In later years, more celebrations were created.
By the 19th century, citizens chose from a variety of programs and events to attend. Average citizens and presidents take time to celebrate this amazing event. In 1962, a group of 200 people gathered to honor Elbridge Gerry, who was the only signer of the Declaration of Independence buried in Washington.
“Our flag is our national ensign, pure and simple. Behold it! Listen to it! Every star has a tongue, every stripe is articulate.” (Robert C. Winthrop, Senator from Massachusetts.)

One Nation Under God
When I was growing up I was taught the Golden Rule,
We said the Pledge of Allegiance Every day in school.
We always seemed to get along Not because of what we did,
But because we had our Father Watching over His kids.
Now the courts have spoken We are wrong in what we do,
We can’t say we’re under God We might offend a few.
Our kids can’t pray in school We can’t pray at football games,
I don’t bow my head in prayer I hang it down in shame.
It hadn’t been that long ago On a bright September morning,
When our world turned upside down It could have been a warning.
I thought that day had brought us back to where our founders trod,
We joined our hands and prayed One nation Under God.
When a nation turns from God It will surely fall.
His love will turn Jo anger The Bible tells us all.
I am proud to be an American With God I’ll take a stand,
We would not be here today,
If He weren’t holding us in His hands.
Declaration of Independence of 13 Colonies
The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies in Congress, July 4, J776,
The unanimous Declaration of the 13 united States of America.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal
station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s (3od entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of manldnd requires that they should de-
clare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certaiq unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...
I Am the Flag
I am a composite being of all the people of America I am the union if you are united.
I am one and indivisible if you are undivided.
I am strong as the weakest link.
I am an emblem of your country.
I am a symbol of the shadow of the real.
I am a sign pointing to past achievements.
I am a promise of greater things for the future.
I am what you make me.
I am purity if you are pure, lam bravery if you are brave.
I am loyalty if you are loyal.
I am honor if you are honorable.
I am goodness if you are good.
I am hope if you are hopeful.
I am truth if you are true.
I am the Constitution.
I am tolerance or intolerance as you force me to be.
I am liberty as you understand liberty.
I am as a pillar of fire by night, but you must provide the fuel.
I march at the head of the column, but you must carry me.
I stand for greater and more glorious achievement than can be found in recorded history, but you must be my inspiration.
I am the flag.

Salute to our Armed Forces
by RUDY FLIS
Had a great time golfing this day with people in my trade. I even won some money, as poor a golfer as I am. Came home and sat outside and discussed the day’s events with my wife, Therese. She told me about a news story on the evening national news, on channel 5 in Cleveland on June 16. It goes like this:
High school students at a school in the east were communicating with our fighting men and women in combat. Some of the veterans even took the time to visit these students upon their return. The letters and the visits put an air of awe
and respect throughout the class, so much so, they wanted to put on a play based on letters from their military pen pals to honor them.
A theater group came forward when they heard about it and offered their theater for the class to put on their special play, and they did. Some of the veterans who had written letters and returned home, were in the audience and their letters were read as were some from those who would not return.
The play was a success. | God Bless this special class and our fighting men and women and may God Bless i America.
Number of hot dogs expected to be eaten by Americans on the Fourth	j
of July: 150 million.	|

Slovenski Piknik at SNPJ Farm
Slovenski Piknik will be held at the SNPJ Farm in Kirtland, Ohio on Sunday, July 1“ with the Veseli Godci Ensemble.
We’ve planned a day of fine food and festivities set in an Old Country oom-pah beat. You’ll think you’re back in Slovenia.
The Veseli Godci Ensemble delights dancers with a repertoire of the best-loved melodies by Slovenia’s legendary Avsenik Quintet and the Lojze Slak Trio. They’re true to their name - “Veseli Godci” translates to “Jolly Players.” Their lilting waltzes and rousing polkas will transport you to a village festival in an Alpine valley.
No Slovenski Piknik would be complete without a traditional sing-along. We’ll supply the lyrics to your favorite Slovenian folk songs,
along with an accordionist to accompany the chorus. Soprano, alto, tenor or bass -everyone’s welcome to exercise their vocal cords.
Our Slovenian chefs have prepared a full menu of down-home treats, including dinners with smoked sausage, roast beef, or genuine čevapčiči, sizzling from the grill. Dinners start at 2 p.m. Sandwiches and refreshments are available all day. Martin Marsic starts up the band at 3:30 for four hours of world-class entertainment with the Veseli Godci.
SNPJ Farm is located at 11000 Heath Road in Kirtland, Ohio, off Chardon Road (Route 6), three miles east of State Route 306.

I received a survey regarding funeral homes. What next? I did not participate. I am not ready.
I buy my rice and blood sausages from Bill Azman,
Jr. (E. 185 St.). I am not a big eater and one sausage is a lot for me at one sitting.
Bill makes these tiny pieces called piggies. Right up my reai soon, right? alley and they suit me and my palate to a tee. Just my size. Stop in at Azman’s and fry them.

The St. Clair Pensioners trip to Casino Greektown in Detroit, Michigan was a lengthy ride, but we had fun going and coming due to our wonderful tour guides Peter and Jeanette Ruminski. They keep us occupied on the bus ride. Danny Reiger and yours truly really had a blast playing the five cent machine for two hours with their money. Unbelievable, because we didn’t have a clue as to how to play that dam machine. Again, thanks to our tour guides for a great time on the bus. Not many winners but as I wrote, we had a lot of fun. We will be thinking about our next trip to Allegheny Seneca on August 7th. Members and friends, come and join us. First come, get the best seats.
Belated June 11* birthday to Ed Ostrey, who does a great job for T.P. when he is off on his tour. T.P. is off to Europe and will return June 28, so Ed and Alice Kuhar will hold down the fort until Tony returns. Hurry back, you are missed.
Back to our return home bus trip from Greektown. We were entertained by Josepha Strauss. We had quite
a song-fest with her doing the leading. All the oldies but goodies. Thanks, Jo for the performance. I, for one, enjoyed it so much, and I am not alone. We’ll do it again
and Fran Mills, son and daughter-in-law. Many happy days ahead. Congrats from family and friends.

US Founded on Ideas
Words matter. And nowhere is this more true than in the founding and history of our republic. Indeed, the Founding Fathers felt obligated to spell out their reasons for declaring independence from England, out of what Thomas Jefferson called a “decent respect to the opinions of mankind.” Other nations have come
into existence as realms of a monarch or conqueror or as aggregations of people with a common culture or language. But the United States proclaimed its existence in words, even before it had clearly defined borders or a formally constituted government.
We are a nation defined not by blood or soil but by ideas.
The Declaration asserted the independence of the Colonies but it did not define what territory they included.
In the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, the United States obtained from Mexico our largest state, California.
The United States has gone on to become the world’s most productive and prosperous economy through the practical utilization of ideas.

Copernicus’ Book Discovered in Ljubljana Library
At the National and University Library (NUK) they made a surprising and quite extraordinary find, a second edition copy of Copernicus’ De revolutionibus from the year 1566.
The discovery, which was completely unexpected, was made around the New Year in NUK by a Slovenian physicist Dr. Stanislav Južnič. The priceless 440-year-old work was once the property of the Ljubljana Jesuits. It is among the most precious books in the world, but its find also sheds new light on the astronomical and other accomplishments of our ancestors.
It was precisely this book by Copernicus that put a characteristic stamp on modem science, and its presence in Ljubljana shows again that its inhabitants at the time were active supporters of the early development of the mathematical sciences.
The book found in Ljubljana is bound in well-preseryed white vellum. To bind the inside of both covers two manuscripts of as yet unknown origin were used. At the time when the ownership inscription in it was made, in 1754, Baron Bernard Ferdinand Erberg of the Dol pri Ljubljana Mansion Was a professor of mathematics and philosophy at Ljubljana colleges.
In the spirit of the reforms, Proposed by Maria Theresa, he acquired many new books
and over 50 pieces of experimental equipment for instruction at the Jesuit College. In many respects Erberg became a founder of modem methods in teaching exact science. The book was printed in Basel, Switzerland on watermarked paper exhibiting the same marks as other copies held elsewhere.
After a fire in 1774, only around a thousand books survived from the former Jesuit college library at St. Jacob’s in Ljubljana. In the following year around one half of the books were catalogues with large numbers placed on their front covers. NUK keeps many items not included in this catalogue bearing the Ljubljana Jesuits’ ownership inscription on the front cover, including the precious second edition of Copernicus.
A good century ago the Tuijak Mansion once standing on the site of today’s NUK was home to probably the best baroque library in Europe, the treasures of the Turjak library were later taken abroad, but they bear witness to an exceptional love for books in Ljubljana.
And where was the mistake? According to NUK, the book was catalogued under the wrong year in the 200 years old record by Matija Čop, otherwise one of the more notable Slovenian patriots, and the recorded mistake was carried over into the electronic catalogue.

Watermelon is Good for You
Tomatoes get the headlines for their protective effect against prostate cancer, but this picnic classic actually does the job better. Ounce for ounce, watermelon contains 40 percent more of the active cancerfighting compound lycopene than tomatoes, says David Kiefer, M.D., a fellow at The University of Arizona’s Program in Integrative Medicine, headed by alternative medicine gum Andrew Weil, M.D.
Not only is lycopene crucial in overall prostate health, but other studies suggests it may block the plaque buildup in your arteries that can lead to heart attack. And it may help to offset some of the cellular damage caused by environmental pollutants, bad diet, even aging - which may lead to cancer, as well as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and arthritis.

Revolution: War Thru Eyes of a Boy
by FELIX MAVEC
(Continued from last week) There were all kinds of vehicles on the road; tanks, trucks, autos, farm wagons, bicycles, horses, and cows. It was a big traffic jam. Only German tanks and trucks were allowed to move through it. A group of Chet-niks appeared on the road one day. Chetniks were Serbia’s national fighters against the Germans and the Partisans.
They told the German officers to let the civilians go through. The officers gave the Chetniks some trouble. A Chetnik officer ordered his men to fire, and two German officers were killed. After this, things started to move.
By the side of the road, there were thousands of land mines, so we had to be careful to stay on the road. We reached the Ljubel tunnel, and it was pitch black going through it. The electricity was out so we had to hold on to our cow’s tail to lead us. The tunnel was unfinished, the floor was rough, with big rocks in it. Water was dripping from the ceiling. Here and there, a man would light his lighter for us to see.
When we came through, it was morning, and the sun was shining. On the other side of the tunnel, we entered into Austria. Mama made a breakfast of plain com meal. My father’s cousin, Louis Purkart, and a good friend, Jakob Straziscar, joined us for breakfast. We were all very hungry; we hadn’t eaten in two days.
We walked all day long. In the afternoon, we reached Vetrinje. There were English guards there, and the road was full of all kinds of guns left by the Domobranci. Their guns could not be brought into English territory. We went over a bridge and we were in the English zone. We continued for another 20 kilometers. It was getting dark by the time we reached a huge, empty field where over 20,000 people were gathered. We sat down on the grass and I immediately fell asleep. This was early in May, and there was still snow on the high mountains. It started to rain again, and we took shelter under a tree. Drops of water fell through the leaves of the tree, right onto my neck. I was cold and hungry.
In this field, two things happened. One was a miracle, the other was genocide. There were 20,000 people gathered together, with no food. Not far from where we were, we realized that hundreds and hundreds of horses and mules had been left by-German soldiers. We were
animals for more than a month. We were also lucky to have milk because we had our family cow with us. One of my jobs was to ride a horse around and gather sticks and branches for the shelter. The shelter was five feet by five feet and housed four people. We did not know how long we would stay here, but after about a month, we were betrayed by imperial England.
The British soldiers turned out to be part of the big lie. There were 12,000 Domobranci soldiers altogether in the field. The English High Command told the Domobranci they were going to send them to Italy. They were told they would be given new equipment, uniforms, and guns to fight the communists once again. The Domobranci were all happy to hear this. I remember when the first transport left. One more left on the second day and another on the third day. Some men escaped and returned to the camp to tell us what was happening. The English were returning the Domobranci to Yugoslavia/-Slovenia, not sending them to Italy. A cry went up in the camp. The remaining guards said they would also go wherever their brothers went. So, the last transport went out, followed by British tanks. All the Domobranci were executed by Partisans, 12,000 unarmed men and some women.
John Corsellis writes about this betrayal in Slovenia 1945: Memories of Death and Survival After World War II. In 1945, John Corsellis was part of the British command that was responsible for the refugees in Vitring, Karten, Austria. He was witness to this slaying of Slovenian people by the Partisans. This event bothered him for a long time before he decided to write the book to further explain what happened there.
The civilians were next to be shipped back to Yugoslavia. I saw a bulldozer digging a huge hole, and I knew
it was for us. It was for people dying of starvation, and for those who might oppose the English Dr. Meršol, who was with us in the field, was educated in America. He went to the British High Command to alert the commanding officers that most of the civilians would also be killed if they were sent back. He convinced a Canadian major, Berry, that all the soldiers sent back had already been killed. Meršol * srid Berry then persuaded the Field Marshall, Montgomery, to stop the transport of civilians.
the 20,000 who had been in the field, were moved to three different refugee camps. We were put into freight rail cars like cattle. Our first reaction was to try and jump out of the cars because the doors were not yet shut. We were afraid because we did not know where we were being taken or what would happen to us. We knew that if the rail car steered to the right we would go to Spital, Austria, and if it went to the left we would be going to Yugoslavia.
We were all afraid to go back to Yugoslavia because we would be jailed, or worse. A man in our car had an ax and he said he was going to use it to escape if we went to the left. Instead, we moved to a camp in Spital.
When we first arrived, this camp was full of young German boys, called Hitler Youth. These were boys whose parents had been killed or whose fathers were Nazi soldiers. They were being groomed to become Nazi soldiers themselves. My friend, John Buh, started to fight with one of them right away. The German boy punched him in the jaw, and John bit off part of his own tongue. In one week, the boys were all gone, and we were left in the camp. I would spend the next five years of my life in this camp.

Fr. Cimperman Saluted
Speech given by Fr. Joseph Boznar at end of Mass on Sunday, June 24, 2007 on the occasion of the 90th birthday for Fr. Vic Cimperman. Ribbon cutting occurred after this speech on the new railing in the sanctuary.
Dear Father Cimperman. In the name of St. Vitus parishioners, your numerous family and of many friends here in church, and those unable to be with us, I want to wish you a ver^, very happy 90th birthday which was yesterday, on June 23 and which we are remembering this morning. We are so happy that you made it strong and healthy as you stand before us today.
Happy Birthday, Father Vic!
I want to tell you on this occasion how very dear you are to us all, not because of your age but because of the kindly and good person and a priest that you are. When I think of you I remember the gospel parable of the talents which Jesus on one occasion told the people. It matters little whether the Lord gave you 10, or five, or one talent to work with in life. What really matters is that you accepted the blessings God has given you, have multiplied them many times, and generously shared them with all you have met during your life.
For this reason you are a beloved brother, an uncle and a grand-uncle and father uncle to many in your family.
You are a friend and a confident to St. Vitus parishioners and the Lord’s dispenser of God’s graces, especially in doing the Holy Eucharist, of absolving sins, and consoling the sick and lonely.
You are also a friend and a priestly example to me personally and other brother priests. We respect and love you very much and pray to the Lord to keep you in our midst for many years to come. After all, your 10(fh birthday is a mere 10years away. God bless you, Father Vic!
There were 103,000 U.S. flags flown over the U.S. Capitol last year at the request of House and Senate members. On July 4lh more than 900 flags were flown.
‘America’ name came from Hungarian Saint
The name “America” comes from a Hungarian saint. Little is known of St. Emeric, but he was the son of Hungary’s first Christian king, St. Stephen. The Italian version of Emerica is Amerigo, the first name of the Florentine navigator, Vespucci (1451-1512), vyhose accounts of voyages to the New World so impressed a German map-maker, Martin Waldseemuller, that in 1507 he gave the name America to the lands newly discovered by the Europeans.
—St. Mary’s Church Bulletin
What Really Happened on Independence Day, July 4th
Independence Day, or the Fourth of July is the adoption by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776 of the Declaration of Independence, proclaiming the severance of the allegiance of the American colonies to Great Britain. It is the greatest secular holiday of the United States, observed in all the states, territories and dependencies.
Although it is assumed the Continental	Congress
unanimously signed the document on the 4th of July, in fact not all delegates were present and there were no signers at all. Here is what really happened.
The congressional delegate from Virginia, Richard Henry Lee, introduced in the Continental Congress, on June 7, 1776, a resolution “that... body declare the United Colonies free and independent States, absolved from allegiance to or dependence on the Crown or Parliament of Great Britain...” On June 10 a committee of five, headed by Thomas Jefferson (the actual writer), was appointed to prepare a declaration suitable to the occasion in the event
that the Virginia resolution was adopted. Jefferson’s version was revised by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams before it went to the Congress where they did some editing of their own.
Congress approved the resolution on July 2, the declaration composed by Jefferson and amended by his committee was adopted on July 4. That evening John Hancock ordered Philadelphia printer John Dunlap to print 200 broadside copies of the agreed upon Declaration that was signed by him as President and Charles Thomson as Secretary. These were distributed to members of the Congress and distributed to the 13 colonies and elsewhere. The Declaration was read in the yard of the state house on July 8. New York did not even vote on it until July 9. The signing was even more gradual, and it is somewhat misleading to speak of the “fifty-six original signers of the Declaration ofIndependence.”
By August 6, most of those whose names are on the document had signed, but at least six signatures were attached later. One signer,
Thomas McKean did not attach his name until 1781. Some of those who signed were not even in Congress when the Declaration was adopted, and some who voted for it in Congress never did get around to signing it. Robert R. Livingston was one of the committee of five; he helped to frame it; he voted for it; but he never signed it.
The first anniversary of the declaration was observed only in Philadelphia with the adjournment ^of Congress, a ceremonial dinner, bonfires, the ringing of bells and fireworks. In 1788 after the requisite number of states had adopted the constitution, Philadelphia celebrated July 4 by elaborate festivities, including a grand parade.
Boston, Mass., first observed the day in 1783, and thereafter this celebration replaced that of the Boston Massacre, March 5. The custom spread to other cities and states, where the day was marked by parades, patriotic oratory, picnics, patriotic programs and pageants, and community fireworks of pyrotechnic expertise characteristic of the 4th of July.
He who is of the opinion money will do everything, may well be suspected of doing everything for money. -Benjamin Franklin
TEACHER: George Washington not only chopped down his father’s cherry tree, but also admitted it. Now, Kenny, do you know why his father didn’t punish him? KENNY: Because George still had the ax in his hand.

Church Joke
Six year old Angie and her four-year-old brother Joel were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had enough. “You’re not supposed to talk out loud in church,” she said.
“Why, who’s going to stop me?” he said.
Angie pointed to the back of the church, “See those two men standing by the door? they’re the hushers.”

Levičarska opozicija odprla izredno močno
ofenzivo zoper vlado - Stara zgodba iz preteklosti - Gre za predsedniške volitve letos in parlamentarne jeseni 2008
Povod za najnovejšo protivladno kampanjo je pismo, ki ga je nekdanja državna sekretarka v ministrstvo za gospodarstvo, Andrijana Starina-Kosem, dolgoletna tesna sodelavka in politična privrženka Janeza Janše, poslala različnim vplivnim poslancem, voditeljem strank in vodilnim osebam v gospodarstvu. V pismu našteva številne domnevne napake in nepravilnosti pa še primere korupcije, ki naj bi jih zagrešila sedanja vlada. Med obtožbami Starine-Kosmove je, da je Janša poskušal podrediti časnik Delo, da ima vlada v načrtu prodaja mariborskega Večera Avstrijcem itd.
Premier Janša je obtožbe zanikal in dejal, “da je opozicija nesproščena in nervozna” zato, ker vlada dosega velike uspehe, zlasti pri gospodarskem razvoju države. Krogu kritikov vlade se je pridružila tudi Spomenka Hribar, ki pa se je zaradi najnovejše spremembe svojega gledanja zamerila mnogim, ki jo običajno podpirajo.
Odslej bo brniško letališče nosilo ime Jožeta Pučnika - Odločitev vlade močno razburila duhove po Slovenci - Oglasil se je pisatelj Drago Jančar
V četrtek, 7. junija, je slovenska vlada na svoji seji sprejela sklep o preimenovanju brniškega letališča v Letališče Jožeta Pučnika. Ker je dr. Jože Pučnik s svojo odločnostjo največ pripomogel k samostojnosti Slovenije, je poimenovanje največjega slovenskega letališča po njem logična posledica, menijo v vladi. Sklep vlade pa je bil nepričakovan in je povzročal ostre reakcije. Kot poroča tednik Demokracija, ki je zelo blizu vladi Janeza Janše oz. njegove stran-
ke SDS: “Javnomnenjski odziv na omenjeno potezo je pokazal, da ji povprečno kar štiri petine slovenske javnosti nasprotuje.” Negativno se je odzval predsednik države Janez Drnovšek, ki je menil, da bodo odslej morda zrela za preimenovanje tudi razna slovenska mesta. Levičarji so bili izredno kritični in so svojo jezo pridružili že izrazito protivladno in proti-Janševo gonjo, ki je zadnje mesece tako značilna, posebno ko se država pripravlja na predsedniške volitve jeseni.
V zadevi se je oglasil vplivni pisatelj Drago Jančar, to s komentarjem “Drzni znanilci novih časov”, ki je bil objavljen v Delu. Povedal je kritikom preimenovanja letališča po Jožetu Pučniku: “V Sloveniji je še več spomenikov Edvarda Kardelja, Borisa Kidriča in drugih revolucionarjev, ki res niso delili ljudi, ker niso imeli več koga deliti. Ene so pobili, druge pozaprli, tretje do kosti prestrašili. Dežela je bila pod njihovim vodstvom enotna in nedeljena. Po tem kriteriju imajo res pravico, da se po njih imenuje vse. Predsednik Slovenije dr. Janez Drnovšek pravi, da tujci ob prihodu na ljubljansko letališče ne bodo vedeli, kdo je bil Jože Pučnik.”
Nato pa Jančar Drnovšku takole odgovarja z lastnim vprašanjem: “Ne vem, kaj predsednik pojasni tujim državnikom, ki po rdeči preprogi hodijo z njim mirni spomenika Borisa Kidriča. Ko ga kdo vpraša, kdo je ta hudi mož, čigar spomenik je postavljen pred predsedniško palačo, kaj mu odgovori?”
V Slovenci dovoljenja za zaposlovanje tujcev
Zaradi visoke gospodarske rasti v Sloveniji je sedaj zaposlenih več kot 60 tisoč tujcev, pa jih veliko še potrebujejo, tako 4000 v gradbeništvu, prevozništvu 2500, kovinarstvu 800, gospodarstvu in turizmu 500, itd.
SEJA SLOVENSKE VLADE — Običajno ima slovenska vlado redno sejo vsaki Četrtek. Kakor vidite, so zbrani člani vlade, vsak od ministrov ima predse računalnik. Čeprav izgleda po tej fotografiji iz tednika Demokracija, da je vsak na drugi “strani”. Takšne seje vlade predstavljajo razliko od denimo ameriškega sistema, ko so seje Predsednikovega celotnega kabineta prava redkost in zaradi tega tudi večkrat deležne Precejšnje medijske pozornosti. Na vsaki seji sprejema vlada svoja stališča do raznih *adev, kakor na primer, ko je pred nedavnim sprejela sklep o preimenovanju brniškega ^tališča v Letališče Jožeta Pučnika, kar je jezilo sicer levico.

Prečastitemu gospodu
Viktorju Cimpermanu za 90-letnico
Minilo je let že devetkrat deset, odkar Vas je mati slovenska rodila. Postal ste kristjan, svetovidski faran,
župnija v duhovnika Vas je vzgojila.
Novomašnik vesel ste glorio pel,
za Vas je vsa srenja molila.
In množica vsa iz vsega srca
se mašnika novega je veselila.
Navdušen in mlad ste versko pomlad faram trem našim prinašal ljubeče. Potem dvajset let župnik zavzet ste v Akronu služil goreče.
In zdaj dvajset let v rojstni fari ste spet, upokojenec, ki ne počiva, ljubezni prežet, neumoren in vnet nam pota v nebesa odkriva.
Naj ljubljeni Bog Vas varje nadlog!
Blagoslavlja naj Mati Vas cveta! •Zahvaljen za vse,
Vam kliče srce.
Bog živi na mnoga Vas leta!

Mezzosopranistka Bernarda Fink-lnzko bo 11. in 13. oktobra zopet pela s Clevelandskim orkestrom
CLEVELAND, O. - Svetovno priznana mezzosopranistka Bernarda Fink, ki je sicer bila rojena in vzgojena v povojni slovenski skupnosti v Argentini, a se Je poročila . s koroškim Slovencem in poklicnim avstrijskim diplomatom Valentinom Inz-kom, ki je sedaj veleposlanik Avstrije v Sloveniji, bo že drugič v zadnjih dveh letih nastopila v Clevelandu, to 11. in 13. oktobra.
Oba večera bo namreč sloviti in svetovno znani Clevelandski orkester pod taktirko dirigenta Franza Welser-Mdsta predvajal v dvorani Severance Gustav Mahlerjevo 2. simfonijo “Resurrection” in bo vlogo mezzosopranistke pela Fink-Inzkova. Sopranistka za oba večera bo Malin Hartellus.
Ob svojem prvem obisku v Clevelandu je Bernarda Fink-lnzko dejala, da sta z Welser-Mbstom, sicer sam avstrijskega rodu, že stara znanca. Velja omeniti tudi. da Je
Franz Welser-M6st pred nedavnim postal intendant slovite Dunajske opere.
Fotografija kaže Bernarda Fink-lnzko ob koncu izredno uspešnega koncerta v nedeljo, 13. maja, v Mestnem gledališču v Celovcu. Tudi tam je pela pesmi Gustava Mahlerja. a tudi kantato Josepha Haydna ter arije Giacoma Rossinija, koncert pa zaključila s tremi slovenskimi. Prebitek koncerta je bil namenjen za projekt slovenskega misijonarja Petra Opeko "Akamasoa” na Madagaskarju, o katerem je že bilo veliko posredovanega v dopisih MSIP v tem listu. Navdušenost publike je bila takšna, poroča še celovški slovenski tednik Novice, da je stoje aplav-dirala.
Bralci, ki se bodo zanimali za udeležbo enega ali drugega omenjenih koncertov, naj upoštevajo sledeče:	Trenutno pri
Clevelandskem orkestru prodajajo serije listkov.
ne posamezne listke. To bo trajalo do približno 4. septembra, ko bo možno, tako je dejal predstavnik pri prodajalnici listkov v dvorani Severance, 11001 Euclid Ave. v Clevelandu, kupiti listke za posamezne koncerte oz. nastope. Omenjena prodajalnica je odprta od ponedeljka do petka, od 9. dop. do 5. pop.
Telefonska številka je 216-231-1111 oz. 1-800-686-1141.
Upoštevati je treba, da listki ne bodo poceni. Predstavnik še ni mogel povedati, koliko natančno bodo stali, sodeč po zadnji sezoni bodo pa za četrtkov (11. okt.) koncert najmanj od $29 do $75, za sobotni (13. okt.) pa od $34 do $80. Lahko bodo še malce dražji. Je pripomnil. Koliko listkov bo na voljo bo odvisno seveda od tega. koliko serij v raznih ka' tegorijah bodo vnaprej prodali. Tako bodo goto-

RAZMIŠLJANJE O NARODNI DEDIŠČINI ...
ŠE KIKELCO PRODALA BOM
Trst - Na prvi strani
najpomembnejšega slovenskega, primorskega dnevnika, smo nedavno izsledili novico o prodaji Mohorjeve domačije v vasi Krn. Hiša, v kateri se je rodil Simon Rutar, je bila v celoti obnovljena z državnimi potresnimi prispevki. Sedaj jo je odkupil angleški državljan iz Devona. Kaj bo s prelepo slovensko domačijo, ki je dragocen del naše kulturne dediščine, pa v resnici nihče ne ve.
O dogodku je slovenski •dnevnik že pisal na dolgo in široko, in ker se z avtorjem članka v celoti strinjam, se ne bom poglabljala v komentar dogodka ali v iskanje krivca. Prav tako
piše SUZI PERTOT
raja cela vrsta vprašanj in bolečih spoznanj o tem, kaj se v resnici dogaja z našo prelepo Slovenijo, z njenimi kulturnimi in naravnimi bogastvi, z njenimi arhitekturnimi in pokrajinskimi prvinami, ki so sestavni del njene bitnosti.
Slovenija se v zadnjih letih zelo hitro spreminja, tako hitro, da največkrat teh sprememb zavestno sploh ne opažamo, še manj časa pa imamo, da bi o njih trezno razmislili in se spraševali o njihovih posledicah.
Kaže, da je z osamosvojitvijo in vstopom v Evropo postala edina želja vsakega Slovenca, pa naj si bo preprost občan
kar imajo drugi, ne glede, če je to dobro ali slabo.
Marsikdaj, ko z ljubeznijo gledam na ta delček nebes, katerega je že Prešeren opisal kot podobo raja, o krpi rajske lepote pa je pred nedavnim govoril tudi ameriški predsednik Bush, se sprašujem, ali se slovenski politiki, ki dan za dnem odločajo o usodi tega malega koščka slovenske zemlje, sploh zavedajo, kako je lepa, dragocena in ranljiva.
Sama živim v kraški vasi in z žalostjo ugotavljam, kako Kras iz leta v leto bolj izgublja svojo podobo in hkrati izumira. Če pogledamo vasi ob glavni cesti, ki iz mirenske doline pelje v Komen in dlje v Sežano, bomo opazili, da so, razen redkih izjem (Sveto in Volčji grad npr.), vaška jedra popolnoma zanemarjena in opuščena.
Lepe stare kraške hiše, neobljudene, razpadajo ali se spreminjajo v hleve za domače živali; vaških središč, v smislu stičišča vsakodnevnega življenja, ni več.
Na robu teh prelepih vasi, ki jih je kot težek nož razpolovila vsak dan bolj prometna cestna povezava med Krasom in Goriško, pa kot gobe po dežju, popolnoma divje in brez vsakega prostorskega

vo najboljši sedeži v dvorani že razprodani.
Ob 4. septembru vas bomo zopet spomnili na možnost dobave listkov za koncerta, lahko pa že danes zaznamujete svoje koledarje.
Kar precej naših bralcev že pozna g. Finkovo in še tudi njeno družino. Njen oče, Božidar Fink, je bil vodilna osebnost med slovenskimi povojnimi naseljenci v Argentini, poleg tega je še živ in aktiven. Brat Bernarde Fink je tudi zelo znan operni pevec. Naključje nanese, da ko sem sam leta 1987 predaval v Dragi pri Trstu, je bil moj sopredavatelj drugi brat ge. Finkove.
načrtovanja rasejo nove, moderne zgradbe, ki s kraško arhitekturo nimajo nič kaj iskati, največkrat nimajo nič skupnega niti z občim pojmom estetike.
Ob teh megazgradbah pa nenačrtovano rasejo tudi gospodarski objekti, ki bi spadali v resnici v obrtniške cone, le-te pa bi morale biti na tako občutljivem teritoriju, kot je Kras, zakrite, skrbno načrtovane in ločene od starih vaških Jeder.
Nič bolj žalosten in zaskrbljujoč ni občutek, ki ga dobiš, ko se pogovarjaš z ljudmi, ki tu živijo. Stare kraške hiše, ki jih redkokdo še uporablja v bivalne namene, so vsem odveč, zaničujejo jih in najraje bi jih kar porušili, da bi na istem mestu zgradili stanovanjske objekte ali vile.
Sploh se malokdo zaveda, koliko lepše in bolj zdravo je življenje v kamniti hiši z lesenimi podi, kot v zelezobetonski ječi, malokdo lahko še vidi lepoto kraških “brja-čev”, kamnitih portalov in lesenih "gankov”. Še sreča, da se tu pa tam rtaj-de kak Ljubljančan ali kak tujec, ki s skrbjo in ljubeznijo obnovi staro domačijo, a kaj, ko največkrat postane slednja samo vikendhišica, vas pa skozi vse leto sameva.
Seveda vse krivde ne gre pripisati preprostemu

občanu. Brez osveščanja in denarne pomoči države nikakor ne gre. Vsi si želijo lastno hišo, stanovanje, gradijo nove objekte ali posegajo po neprofitnih domovih. Kaj pa če bi prejeli pomoč pri prenovi starih kraških hiš, bi potem na slednje gledali drugače? Če bi bila zajetna denarna pomoč in potrebne informacije na razpolago mladini, bi se slednja odločala za prenovo in bi znala bolje ceniti našo kulturno dediščino?
Tudi ob lokalnih volitvah ni bilo zaslediti, da bi se kdorkoli zavedal, kako veliko, neprecenljivo bogastvo mečemo v koš. Pravzaprav ni bilo kandidata, ki bi govoril o razpadanju starih vaških jeder. o propadanju bogate kulturne dediščine. Vsi so obljubljali samo veliko cest, križišč, trgovin in na koncu še turizem.
Po kaj pa bo hodil sem turist, če se ne bo mogel v miru sprehajati po kamnitih labirintih kraških vasi, če ne bo mogel v tišini jesenskega večera prisluhniti burji, ki zavija za kamnitimi zidovi? Kje se bo spočil turist, ki je že doma naveličan nakupovalnih središč in velikih prometnic in bi rad okusil mir majhnega vaškega trga, kjer bi sedel v senco divjega kostanja in prigriznil v stari, dobri gostilni?
Turist si namreč želi tiste stare vaške gostilne, o kateri je pel Šifrer, take, kot je bila nekdaj v Temnici na Krasu; tja so na domač kruh in pršut prihajali iz daljne Furlanije. Ampak kruh je bil domač, komaj pečen in teran je bil gost in črn in lep je bil vaški trg, ko so jeseni rdeli vinogradi in so se v tišini odhajajočega poletja oglašali škorci. Tudi gostilna
spuščala v komentar druge novice iz istega dnevnika, ki piše o rušenju stare kamnite hiše v Senožečah. Tudi slednja, grajena 1. 1804, je vpisana v register kulturne dediščine In stoji v središču vasi.
Ob branju teh žalostnih novic se v meni po-
— človek na vodilnem položaju, postati Evropejec, postati enakopraven član moderne potrošniške družbe. To pa za Slovence, ki žal od vekomaj živijo v sožitju z občutkom vsesplošne manjvrednosti, pomeni postati enak vsem drugim, izbrisati vsako razliko, imeti to.

V letu 2006 v Sloveniji zaposlenih 56% prebivalcev
Trst - V Sloveniji je bilo aktivnega prebivalstva v letu 2006 približno 60 odstotkov, delovno aktivnih, to so zaposleni in samozaposleni, pa skoraj 56 odstotkov, je zapisano na spletnih straneh državnega statističnega urada. V zadnjih letih je vse bolj opazen prehod iz proizvodnih v storitvene dejavnosti, kjer Ima zaposlitev že več kot polovica delovno aktivnih prebivalcev. Največ, dobra četrtina, jih opravlja delo v predelovalnih aktivnostih, sledi pa dejavnost trgovine, ki zaposluje približno 12 odstotkov delovno aktivnih prebivalcev.
Za Slovenijo je sicer značilna zaposlitev za nedoločen čas In delo za polni delovni čas. Za določen čas je zaposlenih slabih 15 odstotkov delovno aktivnih prebivalcev, skrajšan delovni čas pa opravlja manj kot 10 odstotkov delovno aktivnih prebivalcev. Nedeljsko delo opravlja približno tretjina zaposlenih, opravljajo pa ga po večini moški.
Povprečna starost zaposlenih v Sloveniji je 40 let, moški pa so za odstotek starejši od žensk. Delovna doba se v zadnjih letih podaljšuje, z njo pa tudi starost ob prvi upokojitvi; leta 1996 je bil upokojenec ob prejetju prve pokojnine star v povprečju 55 let in osem mesecev, leta 2006 pa že 58 let in 11 mesecev. ^
V letu 2006 je bilo sicer v Sloveniji nekaj manj kot 60.000 brezposelnih oseb, podatki pa kažejo, da število brezposelnih oseb upada, in sicer se je število brezposelnih leta 2006 glede na leto 1996 znižalo skoraj za šest odstotkov, kar Slovenijo v primerjavi z ostalimi evropskimi državami uvršča mede države z nižjo stopnjo brezposelnosti. Leta 2005 so tako zabeležili 6,-5-odstotno stopnjo brezposelnosti, v letu 2006 pa Je bila najvišja med mladimi, starimi od 15 do 24, in je znašala 13,9 odstotkov.
Po podatkih o višini povprečne plače po spolu je ženska v povprečju zaslužila 93 odstotkov plače moškega. Ženska je tako leta 2004 v povprečju zaslužila skoraj 84 evrov manj kt moški, v primerjavi z ostalimi evropskimi državami je v Sloveniji razlika med plačo moškega in žensko najmanjša:	podatki za
povprečje 25 evropskih držav namreč kažejo, da ženske zaslužijo v povprečju 28 odstotkov manj od moških.
Moški sicer na delovnem mestu preživijo v povprečju sedem ur več na mesec kot ženske, ženske pa za gospodinjska opravila v povprečju porabijo uro in 20 minut na dan več kot moški, skrbi za družino pa posvetijo slabe pol ure na dan več kot moški.

MARJAN KOSEM
1938
2007
Pokojni je bil rojen 15. avgusta 1938 na praznik Manjinega Vnebovzetja in tako je bil krščen Marjan v bližnji farni cerkvi v Dolu pri Ljubljani. Družina pokojnega se želi zahvaliti vsej slovenski skupnosti za tako velikodušen izraz podpore in molitve v času qjegove bolezni, kakor tudi za množični odziv ob njegovi smrti.
Nadvse smo hvaležni župniku fare St Noel za vodstvo pogrebne maše, bratu pokojnika, č. g. Francitu Kosem, ki je somaševal in je po svoji želji v teh dneh žalovapja želel biti v glavnem član družine in se je v našem imenu zahvalil vsem zbranim ob zadnjem slovesu. Toplo smo hvaležni mnogim prijateljem-duhovnikom za sodelovanje pri sv. daritvi in obisk v pogrebnem zavodu, kakor tudi Alice Hinkel, ki se je v imenu St. Noel skupnosti z globoko, tolažljivo molitvijo poslovila od pokojnega v pogrebnem zavodu in povabila domače, da delijo s prisotnimi pomembne spomine na pokojnika.
Globoko smo hvaležni Johnu Sršenu za vodstvo zborov, ki so sodelovali v pogrebnem zavodu, kakor tudi med mašo pri St. Noel v Willoughby Hills: Korotan, Fantje na vasi, cerkveni zbor Marije Vnebovzete. Naj Bog poplača vsem pevcem teh zborov. Posebna zahvala gre tudi Ed Ferrazzoljju za spremstvo slovenskih zborov na orglah pri mašnih obredih, ter mlademu sorodniku Richiju Celestina za krasno podano Ave Marija.
Hvala Pristavskim upokojencem, ki so tako množično prisostvovali pri molitvah v pogrebnem zavodu in pri pogrebni maši in poslali kosilo na dom. Hvaležni smo skupnosti od Kt. Noel, ki so nam redno prinašali tolažilno evharistijo in nam stali ob strani v potrebi s hrano in moralno podporo.
Prisrčna hvala Johnu Sršenu za obiske na domu, ki jih je pokojni tako cenil, Franku Ovniču, ki je potom DVD Pozdravljena Zemlja na novo navezal prijateljstvo z nepozabnim klicom: “Ali je to Marjan Kosem iz 9. barake?” in ga je z ženo Joann obiskal v najhujših dneh bolezni iz daijne Alabame. Naj bo tu omenjeno, da je prav reklama in prodaja DVD bila Marjanu v veliko tolažbo, ker je potom te navezal stike s tolikimi prijatelji in znanci iz preteklosti.
Kako naj se zahvalimo Zdravku in Andreji Novak za vso pomoč; nenehno prijateljstvo je trajalo še iz otroških let v begunskem taborišču Spittal, Avstrija; Ivanu in Petru Hauptman za trajen spomin na pokojnikovo zadaje slovo v slikah in DVD. Hvaležni smo vsem slovenskim smučarjem z Ivanom Kaminom na čelu za moralno podporo v bolezni in smrti, Ivanu Kaminu še posebej za herojsko podvzetje, da se je uresničil tisk Kosmove zgodovine pred pokojnikovo smrtjo. Topla zahvala vserh za darove v njegov spomin.
Hvala Ameriški Domovini pod vodstvom Jima in Madeline Debevec in dr. Šušlja za vse objave, radio oddajama: WCSB pod vodstvom Edija Mejača in WCPN pod vodstvom Toneta Ovsenika za objavo pokojnikove smrti, ter poklon s pesmijo.
Hvala Cosičevemu pogrebnemu zavodu pod vodstvom Jožeta Zevnika za nadzorstvo pogreba.
Hvala generalnemu konzulu dr. Zvonetu Žigonu in ženi Ireni za obisk na domu kakor tudi ob zadnjem slovesu.
Neizmerno smo hvaležni bratu in sestram pokojnega za nenehno, vsestransko podporo, ki so jo izkazovali nam in svojemu dragemu bratu prav do zadnjega trenutka.
Če smo pri osebnih zahvalah koga izpustili, naj ta zahvala zadostqje za pomoto.
In Ti, dragi Matjan, ki si od Boga prejel toliko darov in z vnemo uporabljal in delil vse podeljeno, uživaj sedaj zasluženi mir in pokoj V božjem kraljestvu!

Žalostno je, da se Slovenci, v svoji neizmerni želji po modernizaciji, sploh toliko ne potrudimo, da bi nekoliko pogledali čez mejo. V Italijo na primer, kjer so pred leti brezvestno rušili stare kraške hiše, sedaj pa skušajo s strogimi zakoni na novo graditi v skladu s kraško arhitekturno dediščino, stare kraške hiše ali celo razvaline pa gredo za med.
V Avstrijo, kjer so tako prikupno obnovili stare zgradbe in se je v še najbolj zakotni vasi prijetno ustaviti in zadihati dpični avstrijski zrak. Kajti njihove vasi imajo dušo, imajo srce, živijo.
Kljub temu je Avstrija ekonomsko trdna država, malo podjetništvo se lepo razvija, gospodarske cone so lepo načrtovane in skrbno skrite očem mimoidočih.
Pa tudi ekološkemu kmetijstvu gre velika skrb. Prav tako kot gre v Evropi velika skrb ekološki nli bio-arhitekturi in obnavljanju starih zgradb.
Torej, preljubi Sloven-ci. zamislimo se vsaj za trenutek, ustavimo čas, ki nas preganja, ustavi-mo ga v imenu teh kam-ditih portalov, teh tihih kraških vasi, ustavimo da bomo rešili, kar

Ta Kras dajmo rešiti, da ga bomo lahko ponudili turistom, da ne bo tisti logos o promociji Slovenije prazna beseda, da bo ostalo nekaj, na kar bomo lahko ponosni. Kajti Slovenija je tako lepa, da mora ostati taka, da mora ostati drugačna, le v tem je napredek, le v tem Je pravo bogastvo.

V	Sloveniji še primeri tuberkuloze
Trst - O tuberkulozi v javnosti navajajo različne in nasprotujoče si trditve. Po zagotavljanju nekaterih izvedencev iz zdravstvene stroke omenjeno bolezen, znana Je tudi kot “jetika” ali šuši-ca", sodobno zdravstvo uspešno obvladuje, tako da ni večje nevarnosti njenega širjenja, spet drugi pa opozarjajo, da je tuberkuloza tudi v razviti državi, kot je Slovenija, še zmeraj nevarna bolezen.
Kot poudarja dr. Damijan Eržen, vodja oddelka za tuberkulozo v bolnišnici Golnik, je v Sloveniji več kot 85 odstotkov vseh bolnikov uspešno ozdravljenih.
V	nacionalni program zdravljenja je vključena tudi tako imenovana Strategija neposredno nadzorovanega zdravljenja. Le-
ta pomeni odkrivanje žarišč tuberkuloze, ki lahko dobijo širše razsežnosti, če zdravstveno osebje na bolezen ni dovolj pozorno.
Podatki iz registra tuberkuloze, ki ga vodijo v bolnišnici na Golniku, kažejo, da je bilo v Sloveniji lani 210 bolnikov z omenjeno boleznijo. Gre za 10,5 bolnikov na vsakih sto tisoč prebivalcev, kar je doslej najnižja sto-
Trst - V Sloveniji Je stanje glede števila zakonskih zvez in njihovega trajanja zelo kritično. Na to kažejo in opozarjajo podatki, ki jih je objavil Statistični urad Slovenije.
Po zadnjih podatkih, ki so na voljo. Je bilo v Sloveniji v letu 2005 sklenjenih manj kot 6.000 porok, kar pomeni samo 2,9 poroke na tisoč prebivalcev. Ob analizi razpoložljivih tabel in podatkov ugotavljajo, da v nobeni evropski državi ni (relativno vzeto) tako malo porok.
V desetletjih po drugi svetovni vojni se je v Sloveniji poročilo okoli 14.000 parov na leto. To je pomenilo nekaj nad devet porok na vsakih tisoč prebivalcev. Leta 1972, ko so sklepale zakonsko zvezo številčno močne povojne generacije, je število porok doseglo rekord. Omenjenega leta jih je bilo namreč skupaj 15.792.
pnja pojavnosti tuberkuloze v Sloveniji.
Med posebej ogroženimi prebivalci so tisti, zaposleni v zdravstvu, in bolniki, ki se zdravijo s kakimi oblikami agresivnega zdravljenja in imajo zato oslabljen imunski sistem. Med njimi so oskrbovanci domov za starejše, brezdomci, pa tudi tisti, ki uživajo alkoholne pijače v prevelikih količinah. Novi glas, 3.V.2007
V	osemdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja pa je začelo število porok hitro padati. Leta 1985 Jih je bilo nekaj nad devet tisoč, na prelomu tisočletja okoli 6 tisoč, v letu 2005 pa je bilo porok prvič manj kot šest tisoč.
V	Naši družini, mesečni prilogi tednika Družina, so zapisali naslednje:
“Če pomislimo, da je prebivalcem Slovenije, tudi mladim, družinsko življenje pomembnejše kot uspešno delovno mesto, bogastyo, prijateljstva ali prosti čas, se nam zdi takšno zavračanje zakonske zveze neverjetno in nerazumljivo. Kaj se v Sloveniji z vstopom v zakonsko in družinsko življenje sploh dogaja?”
Zaskrbljujoče so tudi druge ugotovitve. Neveste in ženini so vsako leto starejši. V povprečju se poročajo 33-letni moški s 30-letnimi nevestami. To pomeni, da se zakonska zveza čedalje bolj od-
mika od mladosti v obdobje zrelega življenja.
Do poroke pride, če sploh pride, vedno kasneje. Mnogim v Sloveniji se sploh zdi, da je trajnejša zakonska zveza nekak tujek v sodobnem življenju.
Ob takih pojmovanjih in upoštevajoč tudi težave pri zagotavljanju pogojev za življenje zakoncev ni čudno, da narašča tudi število razvez. V Sloveniji se je npr. leta 1970 na vsakih tisoč sklenjenih zakonskih zvez ločilo 134 parov, v letu 2005 pa že 458,8 parov.
Statistike tudi ne obravnavajo čedalje številčnejših primerov, ko se mladi sicer odločajo za skupno življenje, vendar ne v zakonski zvezi, ampak v tako imenovanem “skupnem gospodinjstvu”. V več primerih se pari iz omenjene skupine Slovencev pozneje sicer vendarle odločijo za sklenitev zakonske zveze.
“Družina - zakaj pa ne? je geslo prvega slovenskega festivala družin v izvedbi Zavoda iskreni net, ke je bil 20. maja v Postojni.
Starši so lahko izbirali med zanimivimi vzgojnimi in partnerskimi delavnicami. Vlogo zakonskih zvez pri oblikovanju družin so obravnavali tudi v okviru mednarodnega dne družine, 15. maja. Letošnja tema mednarodnega dneva družine, ki ga obeležujejo v vseh državah po svetu, je Družina v skrbi za osebe z motnjo v dnevnem razvoju.	M.

Misijonska srečanja in pomenki
1606. Še nekaj pisem čaka na objavo v tej
rubriki. Danes sta na vrsti dve. Prvo je od misijonarja, lazarista, ki deluje v Nižnji Tagil v Sibiriji:
“Spoštovana! Prejel sem pismo s sporočilom o darovih M ZA za misijon, kjer delujem. Lepo se Vam in vsem darovalcem zahvalim za prejeti dar. Sedaj smo v zimskem času. Letos je zaenkrat bolj mila zima.
12. novembra 2006 je bila v župniji Severouralsk maša, pri kateri je bil vesel dogodek. Pet otrok iz Unjugana blizu Njagana v Tjumenskoi guberniji, je prejelo prvo sv. obhajilo. Trije fantje Roman, Peter in Pavel od 11 do 14 let, in dve dekleti, Viktorija in Julija, 13 in 16 let. Z Romanom in Viktorijo je prišel oče,-ki se je rodil v Litvi in obiskoval šolo v SZ. Prišel je kot učitelj v naselje Unjugan, kjer je sedaj direktor šole. Petra in Pavla ter Julijo je pa spremljala mama, ki je tudi doma iz Litve in je sedaj trgovka v naselju Unjugan.
Prišli so v soboto, 11. novembra, z vlakom (celo noč so se vozili), so ostali na stanovanju duhovnika ter se pripravljali na naslednji dan, nedeljo, ko so prejeli prvo sv. obhajilo. Prihodnji teden jih bom obiskal, da bodo ob božičnem času lahko prejeli obhajilo in tako ostali povezani z nami in vso Cerkvijo.
Moj brat Jože, ki je bil 20 let misijonar na Madagaskarju. je julija odšel h Gospodu. Njega je uničil krvni rak in ga priporočam v molitev.
Lep pozdrav in vse dobro Vam in vsem sodelujočim želi Lojze Letonja. Tudi g. Anton Ovtar se prisrčno zahvali in vse lepo pozdravi!”
Tako vesela novica, da so prejeli prvo sv. obhajilo, kar bo misijonar še večkrat skušal priti v njihovo mesto, da bo daroval sv. mašo in delil sv. obhajilo vernemu ljudstvu. Kako malo mislimo na naše milosti, ko to lahko vsako jutro prejmemo sv. obhajilo in prisostvujemo sv. maši. Hvala Ti, Jezus!
Drugo pismo je od misijonarke s. Andreje Šubelj, ki deluje v Čileju:
Draga Marica! Je že dolge, kar sva se srečali na obisku pri Sonji v Torontu. Čas beži in je treba biti pripravljen na odhod v večnost.
Iz srca Bog povrni za lep dar v korist ubogim! Vključujem vse, ki so darovali, v mojo hvaležno molitev, prav posebno še v torek, ko Je sv. maša in sv. obhajilo za MZA. Vi mi pomagate lajšati revščino.
Pri nas se šola prične marca. S sosestro bom premislila, kako pomagati, ko je veliko otrok, ki nima obleka za šola, pa tudi ne šolskih potrebščin, kar stane veliko in Je obvezno, da imajo. Šola in vz-
V sredo, 27. jun(ja, je minilo že eno leto od odhoda dragega moža, ata, starega ata, strica, botra Antona-Toneta Lavriša.
Dragi, srečal si se s starši, brati, sestro, nam pa si obljubil, da boš pazil na nas iz večnosti. V naših molitvah se Te že vedno spominjamo in prosimo Jezusa, če moraš še Mj odslužiti, da H odpasti v Svojem Usmiljenja. Po Mariji k Jeznsu!

Priprave na uvedbo schengen-skega območja v Sloveniji
Ljubljana - Na ministrstvu za notranje zadeve oz. v policijski upravi Slovenije že izvajajo projekt o premeščenju policistov na državno mejo s Hrvaško, skladno z uvedbo t. i. schengenskega območja. To pomeni, da bodo slovenske meje z Avstrijo, Italijo in Madžarsko predvidoma v začetku leta 2008 odpravljena, okrepljena pa bo meja s Hrvaško, ki bo ostala zunaj omenjenega območja.
Tja bo Slovenija premestila okoli 500 policistov, ker pač na mejah z omenjenimi tremi državami ne bodo več potrebni. Seveda to povzroča razne težave, posebej ker v obmejnih krajih s Hrvaško nimajo dovolj stanovanj za policiste, carinike in drugo osebje obmejnih «lužb.
Na območju policijske uprave v Novi Gorici bo preveč kar okoli sto policistov, ki zdaj nadzorujejo mejne prehode z Italijo. O možni premestitvi slednjih se je slovenski notranji minister Dragutin Mate med nedavnim obiskom v Novi Gorici pogovarjal tudi z županom mestne občine Mirkom Brulcem. Za zdaj še ni odločeno, kaj bo z objekti in drugimi prostori policijskih postaj ob slovensko-italijanski meji na Goriškem. Novi glas, 10.V.2007
goja sta važni, da se ljudje skopljejo iz uboštva. Vedno prosim uboge, naj molijo za tiste, ki so zbirali dar.
Zdravje mi počasi peša, a skušam biti iznajdljiva, da delam kolikor mi je mogoče. Posvečam se katehe-zi, da pomagam ljudem, ki včasih dolgo čakajo na sveti krst ali prvo sv. obhajilo ali birmo.
Pri nas je poletje, nekateri dni je neznosna vročina, sadje zori.
Podprite nas z molitvijo, da bo nova evangelizacija obrodila sad v korist vsem, predvsem najbolj ubogim.
Bog Vas blagoslovi, lep pozdrav vsem v MZA! Molimo eden za drugega! Hvaležna s. Andreja Šubelj!’
Na pikniku MZA, ki bo v nedeljo, 8. julija, bo prilika, da se bomo Bogu zahvaljevali za vse milosti, ki Jih dan za dnem prejemamo, ko lahko sodelujemo pri tako velikem delu kot je zbiranje za misijone, da lahko molimo, se udeležujemo sv. maše, prejemamo sv. obhajilo, navdušujemo naše prijatelje, znance za sodelovanje pri tem delu. Eden od misijonarjev je napisal še ne dolgo tega: Koliko rož si pa že nabrala, da jih boš potresla pred Gospoda, ko Te pokliče, to velja za vsakega, ki sodeluje!
Med nami bo misijonar, ki že vrsto let dela v misijonih in opazuje življenje. Naj . .ne bo razočaran ob šlabi udeležbi. Pridite in pomagajte!
