At the time it was as if a page from the book °f life had been torn from its binding, never to be replaced again. This same page is held close to our hearts as we reviewed over and over again Its lives, recounting memories •tever to be erased. It was on March 19th the feast of St. Joseph, that our pother, Josie (Cimperman) Godič, expired. She was called t° her heavenly reward, Ironically on the very day she held so dear to her heart, the ^ °f her patron saint, St. fpseph, and also the 44th anniversary of the death of her oad. Josie, as she was known to her many friends, was born 0n E. 61st Street, to Josephine and Louis Cimperman, years later, the family moved irectly across from St. Vitus c nrch, where her dad started H grocery business, now nown as Cimperman’s Market. As a little girl, Josie walked across the street to attend classes at St. Vitus school rom which she graduated, he went on to Jane Adams pchool and after graduation, Joined other members of her family, two sisters, and a pother, and mother, and nclped in her father’s store. N that time St. Vitus school "'as the central meeting place °f‘he community, where Josie ecame involved in many ^pnizations. She held many n ‘ices, from Our Ladies pOdality, Mothers Club, arents of Priests, and many more. s ^0,s'e had many skills such as swing, gardening, and most especially — cooking. She en-k'M?

Lrank \°ger. Bonnie, Clare and bea?,.V^?s a^so blessed with two dutiful granddaughters, Michelle, and Jessica. Josie was a mother, counselor, and friend; one who gave so much of herself to so many; one never to complain, but always ready with a smile, to help whenever needed, and especially happy to share her cooking recipes with others. Her funeral was held in the St. Vitus auditorium, and just as pastor, Fr. Božnar stated in his homily, she came back to her place of work, where she found so much happiness. The Mass was celebrated by her son, Fr. Frank, concelebrated by her cousin Fr. Victor Cimperman and Deacon Dr. Skorka, M.D. director of pastoral care at St. Alexis Hospital. In attendance was Auxiliary Bishop Quinn, vicar of the Western Region and 40 priests of the diocese. Following the closing of prayers at the conclusion of the Mass, Fr. Frank paid a final tribute to his mom when he remarked, “When my mom arrives at the banquet of heaven, she no doubt would say, step aside, I’ll complete the dinner.” As she was taken from the auditorium, the congregation joined together to sing the beautiful Marian Hymn, Češčena si Marija, — translated, Blessed are you, heavy is the voice of the angel, as the last bell tolls, Mary care for us. She was laid to rest in All Souls Cemetery. Our deepest sympathy to her children and family. Remember her smile, her words of praise and encouragement. Remember the page of life which you now hold in your hands, dwell on it after, hold it close to your hearts, for long after its corners begin to fray, and the pages begin to yellow with age, your Mother’s words and smile can never be erased. Always in our hearts. God grant her eternal rest. Your cousin, Ann (Cimperman) Stražar Meeting Postponed American Slovene Club meeting scheduled for Monday, April 5 at the Euclid Library on E. 222 Street at 7:30 p.m. has been postponed because the meeting room is still being used to service the seniors who are getting help with their Federal Income Tax reports.

This year the festivities will be held in L’Anse, Michigan. Leading the group were Revs. Victor Tome and Victor Cimperman. Rev. Victor Tome, left, and Rev. Victor Cimperman in front of St. Peter’s Cathedral in Marquette, Michigan last year during the Labor Day weekend Bishop Baraga annual gathering. Thanks For Making My “Day” On Sunday, March 21 the St. Clair Slovenian National Home was again the setting for the Annual Awards Banquet program sponsored by the Federation of Slovenian National Homes. A capacity crowd was in attendance. As is customary, each year each of the Slovenian Homes select their choice of either a man or woman as their Honoree representative. The elected delegates to the Federation, at their meeting, can present the name or names of candidates for the top honors as the Federation Man of the Year and Woman of the Year. In choosing their Honoree candidate, the St. Clair Board of Directors unanimously chose Antoinette Simcic. Her background history, involvement, and concern for all things Slovenian, and her-many years of active participation in our cultural activities, placed her far above any other available candidate. It is significant to note that she was our choice in 1990 also. At that time, unselfishly she begged that we reconsider, and instead honor Mary Ivanusch. Mary Ivanusch was equally involved and dedicated in all things Slovenian. I should note here that both ladies were, I believe, the first teachers of the Slovenian Home Slovenian School which opened with classes in 1924. As the year 1990 began to unfold, Mary Ivanusch experienced serious health problems, and for this reason, Antoinette Simcic wished to see Mary receive just recognition for her work. The Board accepted Mrs. Smcic’s request, and Mary Ivanusch was thus honored as the Honoree for the St. Clair Slovenian National Home for the year 1990. It pleases us that our presentation of Antoinette Simcic’s credentials presented to the Federation delegates earned her the top honor and title of “Woman of the Year for 1993.” We are proud of her! Now that our Honoree was elevated to Woman of the Year, St. Clair needed to fill in the vacated spot of Honoree. I was given that honor. My sincere thanks to the Board for considering me worthy of the honor. Thanks also for the gift and support. My love and thanks to my children who came to be with me to celebrate the occasion. James came the farthest, from California; Lawrence from Kirtland, the closest. Margaret came from Texas; and Teresa from Michigan. It was wonderful to have them here together. Sadly missed was my dearly beloved wife Ivana (Molly). Special thanks to “our” St. Clair Pensioners for their lovely but unexpected gift and their moral support. I am proud to be one of you. Thanks to the Ohio Federation of KSKJ Lodges for their plaque; thanks also to the Federation of Slovenian Homes for its plaque; thanks to “our” St. Vitus Lodge No. 25 KSKJ for their generous gift and support. Thanks to my relatives and to the many, many dear friends who attended the celebration. How wonderful to have so many of you there. Thanks to those who could not be there but who in person, by phone, or with cards extended their greetings to me. You touched me deeply with your warmth and kindness. How wonderful to have so many dear friends! God bless each one of you! You made my day. Thank You! Sincerely, Stanley J. Frank Thanks from Josie Godic Ed. Note: The following note was received in the mail on Thursday, March 18th from Josie Godic, the day before her death: “To all of my family, relatives and friends I give my sincerest thanks for all the kindness I received during my recent surgery. To Fathers Victor Tome, Victor Cimperman and Joseph Božnar, my most heartfelt thanks for their visits. For all the beautiful flowers, gifts and cards and prayers I extend my thanks to all. May God Bless you. Josie Godic” Cleveland, Ohio Suggestion Editor: I suggest you put the area code, too on the label. Also, the ads do not state which city.

L AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, April 1, 1993 2 Reminisce school days at Zarja Concert I remember vividly my very first day of school in the little red brick schoolhouse in Franklin, Kansas. My teacher, Miss Edwards, wore a beautiful yellow dress and on the blackboard she had drawn nursery rhyme characters including “The Little Old Woman Who Lived In a Shoe, She Had So Many Children She Didn’t Know What To Do.” To that long-ago five-year-old, being exposed for the first time to formal learning and social interaction, it was like the opening of a magic door. Who was to know that beyond that door were many mischievous obstacles to learning. The members of the Singing Society Zarja invite you to come and reminisce with us on Saturday, April 24th as we transport you back through time to your elementary school days via our Spring Frolic skit, “V Šoli” or “A Day in School.” The setting is an old-fashioned school-room somewhere in old Slovenia, but as kids throughout time behave pretty much alike, you’ll relate to the shenanigans of this group as they do their utmost to exasperate the teacher and disrupt the class. You will all undoubtedly remember from your own early school days the class clown, the pranksters, the showoffs, the reluctant learners and teacher’s pet. We’ll have them all for your entertainment in our little Slovenian schoolroom. Granted, it will take a stretch of the imagination to picture our Zarja singers as kids, but that’s the fun of it. We will be singing for you “Po Zimi Iz Šole,” which musically tells the story of children trudging home from school with the weight of learning on their little shoulders. The winter day is so cold the snow crunches underfoot, and even the little birds are freezing. “Oh, Poln Težav” — to be so burdened. But then the tempo brightens as steps quicken in anticipation of the warm stove and warm food awaiting us at home. Remember the day, Saturday, April 24 at the Slovenian Society Home in Euclid. Doors open at 4:45 p.m. Dinners served from 5 to 6:30, program at 7, dancing until midnight to Johnny Vadnal’s Orchestra. There will be cabaret entertainment during the intermissions. Our skit was written by Ed Ozanich, Musical Director is Doug Elersich, Piano accompanists Mildred Wojtila and Ed Polšak, accordionists are Steve Valencie and Jim Kozel. Admission is $16.00 for adults, $5.00 for children 12 and under. Dancing only, $5.00. Tickets may be obtained at the Polka Hall of Fame, the Recher Clubroom or from Zarja members. Or you may call Barbara Elersich, 382-2258, Vicky Kozel, 531-5542, or Sophie Elersich at 531-8402. Don’t be later for school. The last bell is about to ring. Jennie Mramor In Memory I am sending you a check for $10.00 in memory of a friend of many years who passed away recently, Mary E. Polutnik who lived in Lorain, Ohio, then moved to Amherst, Ohio. In 1974 we took a 25-day bus trip. There were 15 ladies and 7 men; it was fantastic. We went through 17 states. Mary was one of the ladies.

(Continued) Part II by Stane J. Kuhar The previous article dealt with the first two programs of the student education loans. That is, the Federal Stafford and the Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loans. This week’s concluding article deals with the last two types of student loans. That is, the Federal Supplemental Loan for Students (SLS) and the Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS). The SLS is for an independent student. That is, a student who is not declared a dependent on the parent(s) and/or legal guardian’s income tax form. The interest rate for SLS is tied to the 52-week Treasury Bills plus 3.1% with a maximum allowable interest rate of 11%. This rate is adjusted every July 1st. The annual loan maximum for SLS in years 1 and 2 is $4,000. For years 3-thru-5 the maximum is $5,000 effective July 1, 1993. For the graduate and/or professional, the maximum is $10,000 effective October 1, 1993. The aggregate (or total) loan maximum per undergraduate student under the SLS is $23,000 while undergraduate and graduate maximum com- HAPPY EASTER!

The interest deferment option is available while the student is in school. Interest ac-cured is added to the principal at repayment (time). For SLS, however, there is no grace period with the minimum monthly payment of $50 and a maximum loan term repayment period of 10 years. The PLUS program is unique in that the actual borrower is the parent rather than a student. The interest rate structure is the same as the SLS with the only difference of a maximum allowable interest rate of 10%. The annual loan maximum is calculated as the cost of attendance less other financial aid awarded. The aggregate loan maximum is also unlimited with no interest deferment options currently allowed. No grace period currently exists and the minimum monthly payment is also $50 with a maximum term loan period of 10 years. A good lender will participate in all four Federal Family Education Loan Programs. The requirement also of a cosigner for these types of loans creates an undue burden for the borrower. Society National Bank does not require co-signers for federal education loans. Can the lender also provide you with loan consolidation and one stop shopping? Does the lender also provide toll free number? And will the lender offer assistance if a borrower (student or parent) has multiple lenders/guarantors? If the lender can answer yes to these concerns then this would be the type of lender to use. For the readership of Ameriška Domovina, Society National Bank meets all the criteria stated above. Again, ask the important questions up front but also be prepared to spend some time in understanding how financing can be arranged for such an important decision. For further information contact Mr. Kuhar, the branch manager of the East 60th St.-Clair Society National Bank, which is headquartered in Cleveland.

CHAMPA Frank A. Champa taught himself to play the button-box accordion so that by the time he was 5, he and his brother, Tony, could make the rounds in the E. 61st St. and St. Clair Ave. neighborhood playing weddings, parties — any gig they could get because they were too young to play in bars. Mr. Champa later taught himself to play the German chromatic accordion, which has three rows of buttons for melody on the righthand side — called a 120 base — to go along with the keyboard on the left. “He had a very distinctive sound. Compared to the button box the monochromatic has a richer sound of its own. But he had a special style, too,” said Slovenian radio host Tony Petkovšek. Mr. Champa, 84, of Euclid, died Wednesday, March 24 at Meridia Euclid Hospital. A resident of Cardinal Village Retirement Community, he had also lived in Cleveland and Eastlake. Mr. Champa, a tavern owner, was one of the first advertisers supporting the Slovenian Hour, which has aired on various radio stations since 1961. Last year, Mr. Champa was placed on the Polka Hall of Fame honor roll for his contributions as a musician and promoter, said Petkovšek, one of the Hall of Fame founders. Mr. Champa owned Glen Park Cafe on E. 185th St. from 1943 to 1961. It was more than an average neighborhood bar. It had a polka stage and dance floor. During the early years, it was where Cleveland’s soldiers on leave came in uniform to dance away their war memories. After freeway construction displaced his tavern, Mr. Champa opened a larger club in Eastlake, Champa’s Lounge. It was eventually sold and became LaMalfa Party Center. Once Mr. Champa was a tavern proprietor, he played the polka circuit only with his son, Raymond, and the Ray Champa Band. Although he was self-taught, Mr. Champa insisted that his son take lessons from someone else for three years. They performed on WSRS-AM from 1949 to 1950 and recorded together in the mid-1950s. In 1977, he and his son were named Co-Polka Musicians of the Year at the Holmes Ave. Slovenian Home’s annual celebration. Besides his son, of South Euclid, Mr. Champa is survived by four grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and two sisters. Services were at 9:30 a.m. at St. Mary Church, 15519 Holmes Ave., Cleveland. Arrangements were handled by the Dan Cosic Funeral Home, Willoughby Hills, Ohio.

April 1, 1993 AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, April 1, 1993 Slovenia’s Many Faces On a map of the world, Slovenia is just a dot. Inside this green dot however, there lie wonders with a thousand faces. Some of these faces are so familiar to some of us that we tend to forget how wonderful they are. Then there are others which we can discover only by chance, when we open our eyes and hearts a little wider, and yet others which reveal themselves to us in all their beauty only after a great effort. This is similar to the case of a mountaineer, who reaches the top of a mountain completely exhausted, but then, on seeing the magnificent view in front of him, suddenly feels exhausted no longer. It is strange how even those of us who live in Slovenia, and think that we know our lovely little land in every detail, are often surprised when we realize that although Slovenia is so small it still hides many treasures, be they natural, cultural or those connected with humankind. Take, for instance, mountaineering. We all know that there exists the Slovenian Grand Mountain Way (“Magistrala”), which links the Kamnik Alps with the Karawanken, the Julian Alps, and the Primorsko mountains. However, have we ever heard that, apart from this longest mountain pathway, there are still 47 other mountain, hiking and forest tracks, running through areas as diverse as Slovenia. It is worth trying these minor routes once. Some of them will take us to the world of solitude and tranquility, among the rocks and stars. Others will teach us, in a few hours, a great deal about Slovenia’s vegetation. And there are some, such as, for instance, the last section of the E6 European hiking route, which, after 2,600 kilometers across Europe, enters Slovenia at Radlje on the Drava, and winds its way to Mt. Snežnik and further on to Croatia. On the way one can meet a local peasant who will offer the unknown traveler a glass of milk or new wine, a small glass of brandy, a piece of home-baked bread straight out of the oven, and will fill his knapsack with pears, or even invite him to stay overnight in a barn full of sweet-smelling hay. There is also the Cultural Heritage Path, which runs past the homes of famous Slovenians born in the Žirov- Al Koporc, Jr. Piano Technician (216) 481-1104 nica area, starting with the house in Vrba where the greatest Slovenian poet, France Prešeren was born. Then take Lipica — the home of the famous white horses. Everybody has heard of its spacious stables with beautiful Lipizzaner horses, of the breath-taking program of dressage, and of the interesting holiday program for those who wish to stay for a few days and enjoy the riding. The great fame of Lipica is apt to make us forget that places where a horse can be hired for a few hours are to be found all over Slovenia. At Bled, for instance, one can not only take a drive around the lake in an old-fashioned carriage, but can also take riding lessons in several villages nearby. Horses can also be hired in the vicinity of Ljubljana, in Maribor, in Dolenjsko and in the area across the Mura river. Slovenia hides its wonders underground, too. We may not only think of Postojna Cave, which is world-famous, but also in fact, under half of all Slovenian land, under fields, towns and roads — there lies the wonderful world of the Karst, which is accessible through many other caves besides Postojna. There are big and small caves; some which, despite their small size, reveal the most incredible works of nature, and others which hide their mysteries from even brave cave explorers. Some are lit up and safe enough for visits by tourists, others are of the sort which can only be seen with the help of experienced cave guides. Then there is the water which has been seething out of the ground for centuries. Springs which are not only a miracle in themselves, but which also make miracles. Hot mineral water, drinking water and water with many other useful properties which heals and strengthens the human body, or simply refreshes. These health spas are located in well- known centers such as Pomurje, the Celje region or Dolenjsko. Less famous is Topoliščica, which is particularly beneficial to those who have respiratory problems or suffer from rheumatism. ifickickickickirki('k'k’ki(iek'k-k'k-irit++++++±+-lrici(it1rie *■ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * . * * * * * orjanc Established 1963 SALES - SERVICE INSTALLATION FURNACES AIR CONDITIONERS BOILERS HUMIDIFIERS AIR CLEANERS SHEET METAL REFRIGERATION 760 E. 200TH STREET CLEVELAND, OHIO 44119 (216)692-2557 Whenever you have a problem with water tanks, air-conditioning, furnace, or „ want installation, call on well-known, trusted * and reliable American Slovenians from Gorjanc. *- * * *- * * * * * * * * * *- * * * * *- * *>; Your neighborhood 3915 St. Clair Avenue Open 7:00 a.m. - 12 midnight Every Day of the Year Lottery tickets - Cold Beer & Wine We Also Carry Imported Slovenian Wines HAPPY EASTER We also sell Daily Lottery Tickets.

New studies suggest that high-fat meals put the blood into a hypercoagulation state within six or seven hours, raising the risk that dangerous artery-clogging blood clots will occur. But low-fat meals quickly reverse that. “If you take fat out of your diet, you don’t have to wait years to lower your risk of heart disease,” said Dr. peorge J. Miller of the Medical Research Council in London. Researchers have known that high-fat diets will, over time, faise blood cholesterol levels, mcreasing the risk of a heart ‘dteck. But the very short-term effect of high-fat meals on blood clotting hasn’t been appreciated, Miller said. The idea that a low-fat supper such as broiled fish can lower heart-disease risk the next morning should help doctors persuade patients to cut the fat out of their diets, he said. Dr. H. Bryan Brewer of the National Institutes of Health agreed that the link between fatty foods and hypercoagulation is becoming increasingly important. Most heart attacks occur in the early morning. There may be several reasons, Miller said, but one could be that high-fat dinners put the blood into a hypercoagulation state by the following morning. “In Western societies, most of us take our main meal of the day in the evening,” he said. He reported his findings at the American Heart Association’s annual science writers’ conference. Miller’s studies show that fat- ty meals activate a blood clotting substance called factor VII. He described it as the fuse that sets off an explosion of blood-clotting chemicals in the blood. RECIPE SLOVENIAN PLUM DUMPLINGS Cook about 2 lbs. of potatoes. Mash. While still hot add 9 ounces of flour, a generous piece of butter (the size of a walnut), 1-1/2 teaspoons of salt, and one egg. Knead well until smooth and cut in half. Roll out, and cut up into squares. Into each square wrap one plum, from which the stone has been removed, and add sugar instead. Cook in boiling, salted water ten (10) minutes. Take each square out and place in a low bowl, and pour melted butter or browned crumbs over it.

VESELE VELIKONOČNE PRAZNIKE AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, April 1, 1993 AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, April 1, 1993 12 About the Church in Slovenia The Church “should exert its influence in a broader field,” said a concerned Slovenian. “Its moral influence is badly needed,” he explained, “because cheating on taxes, stealing computer software programs and many other forms of dishonesty have become normal. One of the worst effects of communism was an undermining of responsibility.” Among some Eastern European Catholics, the survival of the faith under communism has caused a superiority complex of sorts regarding Western Catholics, whom they consider to have sold out. Blaž Kocar, a third-year theology student in Ljubljana, using the example of a German girl he had met who teaches religion but is not a believer, said that communism had meant a collective dic-. tatorship, but that the West had succumbed to a “dictatorship of individualism.” For some Catholics, it is not only a matter of post-communist reconstruction: they also see a need to protect themselves against “capitalistic influences.” But another Catholic said that this black-white division is not so simple: In Slovenia, in contrast to the West, there are few volunteers for social work because the communist system had fragmented society, convincing people to look only to their personal interests, he noted. Terzija Furst, a widowed chemist, has tried to combat this attitude. Along with Franciscan Father Pavel in Ljubljana’s Siska parish, she has inspired about a hundred young people to aid drug addicts, women who have had abortions and others who are less fortunate. There are other signs of Slovenia’s deeper problems: Slovenia’s suicide rate rivals that of Hungary as Europe’s highest, while the birthrate is low. One Slovenian priest said that dissent on the Church’s birth-control teaching is probably as widespread in the Republic as in many Western countries, but it has not become public because Slovenian Catholics have felt under siege. He added that the “siege” situation had isolated Slovenian Catholics from global problems, such as those faced by the Third World. But this priest also said he thinks the Church has emerged in fairly good shape from the decades of communism: The number of vocations is sufficient to replace the existing clergy (977 diocesan priests..
