Marie Dular helps with St. Mary’s Bells Fund-Raiser
by Ann Marie Dvorak
Universe Bulletin
Marie Dular was born in Slovenia. Her parents were respected teachers and the family lived in a large apartment and enjoyed the services of a maid.
But their lives changed when the family was forced to flee from the Nazis. The onslaught of communism brought more problems. Her father, who was active in Catholic groups, was targeted for death and had to leave his beloved country. A dangerous journey took him, Marie and her sister to Austria.
Their mother was not so fortunate. She was taken off the train just before the border. This woman spent time in prison and lived many years under house arrest. She died in 1967 and was never allowed to leave the country to join her tanniy.
At a displaced persons’ camp in Austria, Marie met her future husband, Milan. The couple married 46 years ago and are the parents of five: Emil, John, Janice Haley, Anne Lawson and Christine. There are eight grandchildren.
Mr. Dular’s aunt sponsored the family’s move to the U.S. and Marie remembers. “When I got to America I knew I was home, I knew that I wouldn’t have to move again unless I wanted to.”
Mrs. Dular is following in her parents’ footsteps and for the past three years has taught the Slovenian language in evening classes at Euclid High School. She also instructs a class at her parish and has a few people come to her home to practice conversational Slovenian.
“The grammar is very difficult; it ranks right up there with Chinese,” she says. “But I believe that Slovenian people have the gift of being able to learn languages.”
Traditions are very dear to Marie and her house contains many craft items from her homeland. She has outfitted dolls in ancestral attire and displays them along with one that a student dressed as a gift for her.
It is Mrs. Dular’s custom to serve Old-Fashioned Roux soup on Ash Wednesday and many seniors will remember it as a dish often served during the depression.
Mrs. Dular participates in an Alzheimer’s research study at University Hospital. She is tested a couple of times each year to see how her thinking
process changes with age.
“It is necessary to exercise our brains,” says this articulate grandmother. She enjoys Scrabble and other word games and appreciates the challenges afforded by crossword puzzles and the TV shows Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune.
Marie’s life centers around St. Mary Parish in Cleveland’s Collinwood area. She is a lector and Eucharistic minister and participates in a bible study group.
She takes seriously her job as the parish pro-life representative. “If we don’t protect the most helpless, the baby in the womb, who else has a chance? Where do you stop the killing?” Marie asks.
She stresses the importance of writing letters to senators, representatives	and
newspapers to make your views known.
The bells of her parish church are in need of repair and a money raiser will be held on Saturday, May 27. Marie will help with the cooking for the “Bells of St. Mary’s,” chicken paprikash dinner. Everyone is welcome. Dinner is served at 6 p.m.
Kovacic On Mend
Enclosed is my subscription check for $25.00 and an additional $10.00 for the new processor you bought last week.
The first chance I get I will stop in to see everyone personally. I just got out of the hospital and am not allowed to drive yet, due to medication.
May you continue to publish your fine newspaper for many more years.

Birds of Slovenia?
Having a wonderful time in Saint-Martin. Weather warm as expected. Good German food here.
Nice article in the A.H. on Slovenian wines. How about printing some article on the Birds of Slovenia?

Enjoying Oahu
“We are spending a week at the Turtle Bay Gulf and Tennis Resort Hilton, a heavenly place on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii — away from the maddening crowds of Waikiki. The surf sings us to sleep at night, after a day in the ocean or pool.

We’re Having a Party
We’re having a party. For whom you say? We say, Anne Filipič. She celebrated her 97th birthday on May 7, 1995 and she invites you all to come to a party at the Slovenian National Home, downstairs hall on Wednesday, May 31 at 7:30 p.m. Co-incidently, this is the night of our monthly social.

No gifts, please; just bring your happy face and congratulations for Anne.

The Story of Two Frogs
by Irene Pugel
Once upon a time, there was a frog who was dropped into a pot of hot water. Feeling the intense heat, he immediately jumped out and saved his life.
But there was another frog who was put in a pot of cold water — set on a burner over low heat. One degree at a time the temperature increased, but the frog became accustomed to it, stayed in the pot, and eventually was boiled.
Moral of the story: Although we complain about sudden change, it’s often the gradual, hardly perceptible changes — in our lives, lifestyles, and character — that do us in.
Kathy Kosir is Softball Player of the Week
Congratulations to Kathy Kosir, of Villa Angela-St. Joseph High School, who was named by The News-Herald as “Player of the Week. ”
In an accompanying article, it stated, “Villa Angela-St. Joseph put the wraps on the Northern Regional championship last weekend, and leading the charge was Kathy Kosir. The senior right fielder was 17 for 23 (in six tournament games and one regular-season game) for a . 739 average.
“Her hits included three triples, one double and a homer. Her tournament average was .714 and her on-base percentage was .727.
Kathy is the daughter of Joe and Mitzi Kosir of Richmond Heights, Ohio.
Congratulations to all!
Bake Sale
St. Mary Altar Society is sponsoring a krofe and bake sale on Saturday, June 3 beginning at 9:00 a.m. in the school auditorium.
Fr. Frank Kosem marks 25
Congratulations to Fr. Frank Kosem who celebrated his Silver Aniversary at the 12:00 noon Mass on Sunday, May 21 at St. Jude’s Church, 590 Poplar Street, Elyria, Ohio.
Fr. Frank Kosem was born on September 19, 1944 in Dol pri Ljubljana, Slovenia. He and his family fled Slovenia in May of 1945 to Austria with thousands of other political refugees to escape the ravages of the communists. In August 1949, the Kosem family emigrated to the United States and settled in Galbraith, Minn.
In 1953, at the age of eight years, Fr. Frank and his family moved to Cleveland, Ohio and lived in the predominately Slovenian neighborhood of Collinwood. He attended grade school at St. Mary’s in Collinwood, and then completed high school and college at the Borromeo Seminary in Wickliffe, Ohio. He has also studied theology at St. Mary’s Seminary in Cleveland.
Fr. Frank was ordained a
priest on May 30, 1970 and celebrated his first Mass at St. Mary’s Church in Collinwood. Fr. Frank was initially assigned to St. Peter’s Church in Lorain, Ohio and then, in 1973, he was called upon by Bishop James Hickey of the Diocese of Cleveland to serve as his secretary which he faithfully served for seven years.
When Bishop Hickey was re-assigned to Washington, D.C., as Archbishop, Fr. Frank became Chancellor for the Diocese of Cleveland. He later served as pastor of St. Peter’s Church in Cleveland for three years.
When Archbishop Hickey became Cardinal for Washington, D.C., Fr. Frank accompanied the Archbishop to Rome for the ceremony where Fr. Frank had the unique opportunity and privilege to personally meet Pope John Paul II.
In 1985, Fr. Frank was assigned to his current position of pastor at St. Jude’s Church in Elyria, Ohio. His most ambitious accomplishment was the construction of a new church to meet the growing needs of the parish which has exceeded in over two thousand families.
Again, congratulations to Fr. Frank Kosem for his never-ending dedication to the Church and to his vocation from the Kosem, Štepec and Celestina families.

Ed Jerse Runs for Mayor of Euclid
Ed Jerse, a trustee of the Slovenian-American Heritage Foundation, announced Tuesday that he is a candidate for Mayor of the City of Euclid.
Current Mayor David M. Lynch announced earlier this year he would not seek re-election.
Jerse, 37, made his announcement in the City Council Chamber, where he served two terms as a Councilman-at-Large. His wife, Shannon, and two young children, Teddy and Mairin, were at his side.
Jerse said he believes in a limited city government that focuses on a few importnat things and does them well. He pledged to tightly control spending and to explore ways of reducing taxes.
In addition to maintaining services and seniors programs, Jerse said his administration would focus on four areas: crime, jobs, community development, and young peo-
ple. He also said the City should proudly emphasize its ethnic heritage.
Jerse looks forward to a vigorous and exciting campaign. “I’ll be doing a lot of door-to-door campaigning,” he says. “This will be an unusual race as we may have as many as four or more candidates and there is no primary. To help educate the voters, I’m challenging my opponents to meet me in debates in each of Euclid’s four wards.”
Jerse is currently an Assistant Ohio Attorney General. He previously practiced law with the firm of Arter and Hadden and he is also on the Adjunct Faculty at the Case Western Reserve University School of Law.	He
has also frequently assisted State Representative Ron Šuster. He is a graduate of St. Joseph High School, Georgetown University, and Harvard Law School.
IŠKA DOMOVINA, MAY 25, 1995
2 Remembering Joe Melaher
While in the hospital, shortly before his death on June 10, 1991, Joseph Melaher told Rev. Joseph Botnar, pastor of St. Vitus Church in Cleveland, that if possible he would send him a fax from heaven letting him know what is going on there. John Mercina came across a copy of the Ameriška Domovina dated June 13, 1991, in which Fr. Botnar fondly recalled the incident. Mr. Mercina has written a message that Mr. Melaher ^ could have sent:
Here I am. St. Peter told me that your fax machines will
never pick up this message. But you know me, I never give up. I send it to you via the Ameriška Domovina. As Slovenians say, “A promise must be kept.” I suppose this is the first time anyone has tried to send a fax from heaven. But I enjoy writing, so here is my report.
Life up here is beyond all of your expectations. Your sermons about heaven were terrific for the human race but life here cannot be described in human terms. It is heavenly. Take newspapers, as an example. Pete knew that I was an
editor of the KSKJ Glasilo, so he made me an editor of the Slovenian edition of the ‘‘Heavenly Voice.” (By the way, both KSKJ and SNPJ share the same’ pages. All I have to do is think about it and the articles get written. All scribes automatically get their reports in on time. Jim and Madeline would never believe how easy it is to be an editor up here.
In my spare time I do research together with some of the persons who definitely did not think the way I did back on earth. Yes, they are here, too. It did, however, take them a little longer to arrive.
Make sure you say hello to Fr. Krajnik, members of the SLS, SPB, Baragov Dom buddies, members of the Fantje na Vasi as well as Paul Kosir who did a wonderful job on the old Glass Ave. Church. A special love to my earthly family.
In a future sermon you can give a thought from me: “Life on earth is merely a preparation for heaven. Do as much good as you can, for nothing else really matters. It’s worth being a good earth person because heaven is eternal.”
I saw my friends Jack Debevec, Matt Kastelič Frank Turek and Frank Jakšič playing the card game “Koenig Rufen” in a corner of heaven for three days without stopping.
That’s all for now. I have an appointment at the heavenly gostilna to sample some fresh Ohio wines made by Anton Debevc who smuggled some grapes up here from his son Tony and grandson at Chalet Debonne. I’m going to share some vino with my buddies Karl Mauser, Dr. Miha Krek and Msgr. Louis B. Baznik and discuss the “New Slovenia.”
May I end this fax by saying, “Po domače zbogom in ostanite pastir dušam pri svetemu vidu!”
—Jože Melaher P.S. — I like the murals above the altar in front of St. Vitus Church.

So, What Are You Complaining About?
NOTE: The following letter was printed in the BUDGET newspaper on Wednesday, April 26. ll serves the Amish community, worldwide:
MONROE, Indiana — April 18 — After receiving over 300 cards, warm letters of encouragement, money and gifts from mdny known and unknown friends, we find it impossible to answer each separately like we had hoped. So we want to try and answer the questions through The Budget.
Parents Andrew A. and Amanda (Schwartz) Hilty are both 71 years old. There are 11 children in our family, with three being married. They have 29 grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren; and two grandchildren that are deceased.
Brother Martin Hilty, age 40, married Elizabeth Miller and have a family of 11 healthy children. They took over our 79 acre farm and live in our adjoining home. They help us out daily.
We have a big porch and love to roll outside and watch our birds. To have our purple martins come back is one of our best medicines, after our winter “shut-in” days.
Brother Jerome, age 47, married Bertha Miller and have a family of nine healthy children.
Sister Anna, age 44, married John K. Schwartz and have a family of nine healthy children. They have a 20-year-old “Special child,” with autism. Two of their daughters are married.
Our nieces take turns helping mom each week, with our laundry and weekend cleaning.
The rest of us eight are all victims of muscular dystrophy. All on wheelchairs and live here at home. Here are our names and ages: I (Mary Ann) age 45, Joe 42, Lucy 38, Dan 37, Levi 34, Eldon 33, Ernest 31 and Mahlon 29.
What we do — Levi works at Hilty Engine Shop sharpens chains and is a cashier. The rest of the boys all work for E & R Seeds here at home. They also do a lot of book rebinding and lace billfolds. They also sell different farm supplies through the summer.
Lucy and 1 do a lot of crochet work, make baby bib/bootie sets, edge hankies and embroider letters on them, crochet rose hot pads, and scarfs. Besides we also make and dress a lot of dolls, which keeps us busy daily. We always have orders to work on. There are no dull moments around here.
Through the years we see this disease is a battle we can’t win. It takes away all our strength. As times goes on we become weaker and have to depend more on mom and others for a helping hand. Dad got a sore under his big toe in September, 1994. All efforts to heal this were unsuccessful. On Sept. 29 he was admitted to the hospital. It was a deep infection and had gangrene. He also found out he has sugar diabetes. He had surgery September 30 and had his big toe amputated.
This sore required a lot of care. Elizabeth helped mom soak and bandage it daily. This went on until December. Different remedies were tried to heal it, but it was all in vain. Gangrene and infection was again to the bone. So on Dec. 13 he had half of his foot amputated (almost to the heel). He wasn’t to put any weight on that foot, so he got around with a wheelchair.
He went through a lot of pain, after that surgery and spent 8 days in the hospital. Three weeks after this surgery the doctor again didn’t have good news, as it showed no signs of healing and said more surgery.
We were shocked, so we made an appointment to see an orthopedic doctor in Fort Wayne. On January 17, 1995 he had an angiogram test taken, but the reports he got were not good news. His left leg had no circulation under his knee and also advised more surgery. His right leg has only one open vein.
January 24, six weeks after his second surgery, he had his left leg amputated above the knee again and had a lot of pain and was in the hospital for 8 days.
Elizabeth always helped mom bandage his sore leg. His stub leg is now all healed for which we are thankful. But he’s fighting several sores on his right leg which seem impossible to heal.
He remains on the wheelchair and requires a lot of help. He does reading, writing and word puzzles. On nice days he rolls outside on our porch and sidewalks.
We feel so humble for the tokens of care and concern. All the efforts friends have made for us, warmed our hearts. We appreciate everything.	The Andrew A. Hilty family

Diary of submariner
(Continued) by JANKO MAJNIK
Cooma, N.S. W., Australia
All the friendly attention received did not prevent my homesickness for the submarine and my friends. I immediately felt more at home when transferred to “H.M.S. Rorqual” for practical training as the environment was more familiar. The submarine had been adapted to carry provisions of all kinds to besieged island of Malta. The run both ways was uneventual and the transfer back to “Q.E.” was welcomed as by now I had made many friends and almost felt ‘‘at home” there.
August 20, 1941 A new experience. We were in the dock.
August 22, 1941 Off the dock.
September 1, 1941 The ship resembled a bee hive. I soon discovered why the sailors swore constantly and were in such an active mood. TheC. in C. Mediterranean, Admiral Cunningham, arrived on board this afternoon. He was making the “Q.E.” his Flag Ship.
I was told that such events always make the ship’s company the proudest. It also brings more work and harder discipline.
September 4, 1941 We sailed out of Alexandria at 1000 hours. As we reached the open sea at almost full speed I was able to see, for the first time in my life, the might of the British Navy. Three cruisers, five destroyers and way out on the horizon were some other naval units.
At 1700 hours a reconnaissance plane appeared high in the sky and way out at sea. Only the outer units opened
fire. In a matter of a minute the plane dived like a stone, trailing smoke behind all the way down. The plane hit the water too far out to be seen from the battle ship. The big ships never fired a shot. There was no need to. I watched for a while the launching of our spotter plane, its landing and lifting with the crane back on board.
I was having dinner when at 1905 hours a great explosion hit us, followed by another and another, and another. The plates, forks, cups, myself and other men in the mess were lifted off their seats.
My first impulse was to rush for the upper deck - before we started sinking. Pride would not let me. I wanted others to bolt first. They did not! Cool as cucumbers they proceeded to eat their dinner. Not me.
Ever so cooly I got up from the table and very nonchalantly asked what was all this racket. “The so-and-so 15-inch guns are firing,” I was told. “It always scares the daylights out of the crew below decks.” It positively scared me.
I did want to see the so-and-so guns fire and started to climb to the top deck. When almost there somebody pulled me off the ladder, saying, “You put your head up there and it will come off cleanly.”
I went in search of my tutor whom I had persuaded to find a safe place from which to watch the cruisers and us bombard the shores of Libya. What an awesome sight. The firing stopped at 1005 hours.

4 Euclid Pensioners Report
Euclid Pensioners had some very unusual and interesting topics covered at their last meetings.
Lisa Rutkowski, from the Center for Mental Retardation, spoke about the services they provide for the mentally retarded. With the help of citizen volunteers, they are able to assist the mentally retarded with purchases at the store, riding a bus, or just ^ writing a letter. Their mission 12 is to see that this group of w citizens has an equal oppor-^ tunity in the community.
Some years ago I heard a speaker say, “An individual has not started living until he could rise above the narrow confines of his own concerns to the concerns of other human beings.” If you wish to volunteer for this program, contact the Center for Mental Retardation in Cleveland.
How many times have you looked in the mirror and found that you had less and less hair on your head? Did you ever say to yourself, “1 wish I could do something about it,” but were too timid to venture out to find a solution? Well, one of our guests, Nino of Nino Hair Designs, described some solutions to just such problems. He described what is called the ‘hair integration process.’ This process uses real hair inserts, inserts that are integrated with your own hair. His assistant was wearing several inserts and demonstrated how these real hair pieces work. His presentation was very informative.
Both talks covered topics that most of us do not like to deal with, but well-informed citizens become more tolerant of those who are different from us.
It was a pleasure to greet our new members: Matthew and Lillian Dolenc, Ruth Kolenc, Delores Kramber-Lapuh, Emily Unik and Lillian Videlic.
The Euclid Pensioners congratulated member Anna Filipič for having reached the great age of 96.
I sadly report the passing of the following members: Rose Baits, Mildred Godina, Mary Grill, Joško Jerkič, John Muhic, Millie Kokal, George Rakar, and Rose Matko. They will be missed by us all. Our deepest sympathies to their families and friends.
Have you ever heard of a senior citizen who got chicken pox? Well, our own Caroline Lokar was just such a lucky person. Although she said it was quite painful and annoying, I’m glad to report that all her spots are finally gone.
A special thank you to Mary Sintič, for providing our members with some special treats and goodies from time to time.
Over the past year or so, I am sure that many of you have noticed the beautiful improvements being made at Recher Hall. Thanks to the efforts of our president, Dorothy Lamm, the Ladies
Auxiliary, Bob Cigoy, and Rudy Urbančič, these improvements are going along nicely. And thanks to all the other dedicated members, who in any way, helped to make the renovations at Recher Hall become a reality.
Caroline Lokar brought forth a letter she received from the President’s Special Deputy-in Charge of Correspondence. He responded to her written request in placing Frank Yankovic’s name on the list of candidates for the Presidential Medal of Honor. He informed her that Frank’s name has, indeed, been put on the list. He feels Frank Yankovic has a good chance of receiving this award due to the overwhelming response received from his friends in the Slovenian community. And who said... “my vote won’t mean a thing!?” Our tour guide, Mimi Stibil, promised not to faint during her presentation as she had done at the recent concert given by Zarja, but did promise to schedule some interesting trips for us. The trip to Hudson Valley, Ellis Island, West Point and New York includes a Broadway Show, “Crazy for You.” There are still openings. The trip takes place July 17 thru July 20. For more details, call Mimi Stibil at 843-8727.
Hope everyone is happy that Summer has arrived. Haven’t written for a while, so will try to make up with the news.
Our meetings have been well attended and the coming months more will feel like coming out. We have surprises for members.
In February we had hot dogs and coffee free to all members, and to make more festive, Tillie Vranekovic celebrated her birthday by having birthday cake for all.
At our March meeting the speaker was Mr. Vance Sanders from H.M.O. There followed a question and answer period. This was followed by a party tray and coffee brought in by the speaker. So come to the meetings and be surprised.
Sincere sympathy to the Mary Zakrajšek family and to the Frank Koss family.
Our annual picnic is Wednesday, June 28 at the SNPJ grounds. Dinner will be served at 1 p.m, dancing from 3 to 6 p.m., music by Lenny Andexler Orchestra. Dinner admission $8.50; admission only, $3.00. See or call Tillie Vranekovic at 486-1505.

At our May meeting we were entertained by the
Ruth Korelec, our treasurer, reports that tickets for our annual picnic are now available. The Euclid Pensioner’s Picnic will be held on Wednesday, June 14 at SNPJ Farm. Tickets are $9 for the dinner and dance, and $3 for gate admission only. Music will be by Joe Samsa. Tickets for the dinner must be purchased in advance. If you need tickets, call Ruth at 531-8368.
There are so many what-ifs in life, personal choices that had they been just a little different — could have changed our lives. So, what-if you join us at our picnic June 14, it will change your afternoon into one filled with great food, music, dancing, friendship and fun.
Many of our members stayed after the meeting to await the Walter Ostanek Grammy Party. I must tell you, it was fantastic to see and hear so many of our musicians play along with Walter Ostanek. It was non-stop polka music. It also was great to see such a turnout—wall-to-wall people.
In closing, just a reminder, the next meeting of the Slovenian Pensioners of Euclid will be held on Wednesday, June 7th at 1:00 p.m. at Recher Hall. Get out and join us for the afternoon.

A message to all members: How many of your children know that you belong to the Waterloo Pensioners Club? When a member passes away, we find out about it in the paper or a friend calls and lets me know. So while you are thinking about it, jot it down on paper and give it to your next of kin.
Our next meeting is Tuesday, June 13 at 1 p.m.
Get well wishes to all our members. See you at the picnic.

Ann Filipič saluted at St. Clair SNH
WHO: Ann Filipič
WHAT: Ann Filipic’s 97th Birthday Celebration, St. Clair Monthly 50/50 Split Drawing
WHEN: Wednesday, May 31
WHERE:	Slovenian Na-
tional Home, St. Clair - Lower Hall.
WHY: Of course this is every Slovenian’s favorite part, the explanation of the why. Ann Filipič and the 50/50 Split Drawing, which is held every last Wednesday of the month, have a lot in common. They both help tremendously in keeping the Slovenian National Home on St. Clair running smoothly.
Mrs. Filipič, who was born May 8, 1898 was honored by the S.N.H. as their Woman of the Year in 1991. This great honor is only a small token of the hall’s esteem and gratitude for her contributions and tireless efforts through these many years. Mrs. Filipič was the first person to throw a party at the S.N.H. and donate all the gifts to the hall. This was
done for her 90th birthday bash and everyone is still talking about what a great event it was. We are all looking forward to the 100th Birthday celebration in 1998.
Wednesday, May 31 will be an opportunity to toast Mrs. Filipič with her many friends at the 50/50 Split Drawing in the lower hall, and celebrate her 97th birthday. We look forward to seeing all of her many well-wishers in what promises to be a fun evening.
Happy Birthday Mrs. Filipič and many healthy, happy years from your friends at the Slovenian National Home.
