Miro Anzic Lectures in Slovenia; Attends World Congress
Art (Miro) Anzic of the NASA-GIenn Research Center of Cleveland, Ohio, had been invited and consequently participated in the activities of the Slovenian World Congress (SWC) in Bled, Slovenia on September 28-29.
The Slovenian World Congress was established to foster the discussion and possible future cooperation in development of technology between scientists and academicians of Slovenian descent who work abroad.
In addition to the above activity, Mr. Anzic was also invited to present a lecture on space communication satellite technology to the students and faculty of the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, on September 27. This invitation was in conjunction with a visit of a group of University of Ljubljana students who visited the Communications Technology division’s facilities last year, where Mr. Anzic presented a short lecture on the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite in their native Slovenian tongue. This work is supported by
the Cross Enterprise Technology Development.
The Advanced Communications Satellite (ACTS) was launched in 1993 by NASA as an experimental platform to pave the way for the next generation of communication satellites. The spacecraft was used by the US government (NASA) and industry as a national research facility to test and demonstrate the advanced communications technologies developed. The spacecraft was the first “switchboard in the sky” which employed frequency reuse and hopping spot beams.
Miro’s presentation at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, traced the history of development, operation, experiments and retirement of the extremely successful all digital spacecraft. The initial two year mission was extended (four year design life) and the spacecraft is now in the seventh year of operation.
Miro Anzic is a graduate of John Carroll University, Cleveland, 011 (BS Physics).
After college Mr. Anzic spent two years with the US Army in Korea serving as a
battalion communications officer. At NASA-GIenn, he is presently serving as a senior electronics engineer in the Applied RF Technology Branch of the Communications Technology Division. His present responsibilities include the development of space and terrestrial microwave communications components and systems.
His past responsibilities included significant development work in areas of man-made RF noise measurement, monolithic micro-wave integrated circuits (MMIC’s), Ku band satellite ground terminals and in-orbit characterization and testing of the world’s first high power, Ku band communications satellite.
He has been employed at NASA-GIenn for 37 years, eight of which were spent in technical	management
(Branch Chief)-
Mr. Anzic’s hobbies include skiing and amateur radio. He has been a licensed amateur radio operator in the US for 45 years (K8BVI, Extra Class) and in Slovenia for 3 years (S57BA, Class 1, Radioklub Vevče).

James Polk won election to the American presidency in 1844 with this slogan, which referred to the ousting of the British from the whole of the Columbia River country up to latitude 54 degrees 40 minutes N.
After his election Polk discarded the slogan and settled the Oregon question without going to war.

Life and Work of France Prešeren
The Slovenian American Heritage Foundation invites all to attend the seventh talk in their 2000 lecture series. The Foundation is extremely pleased that Professor Timothy Pogačar, Ph.D. will discuss the life and work of Slovenia’s greatest poet, France Prešeren.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 8, at 7 p.m. in the Lower Hall of the Slovenian Society Home, 20713 Re-cher Avenue in Euclid, Ohio. A coffee and strudel social will follow the lecture.
In Slovenia this year has been dedicated as “Prešeren Year” in commemoration of the 200^ Anniversary of his birth. France Prešeren, the most important Slovene poet of the Romantic Movement, perhaps best expresses the national consciousness of the Slovene people. His poem Zdravljica (A Toast) has been adopted as the Republic of Slovenia’s national anthem.
Timothy Pogačar, Ph.D. has been Chair of the
Department of . German, Russian & East Asian Languages at Bowling Green State University since 1998. He held the prior positions of Assistant Professor, 1985-
1990,	Director of the International Studies Department, 1989-1993 and Associate Professor of Russian since
1991.
Professor Pogačar received his Ph.D. in Slavic Languages & Literatures from the University of Kansas in 1985, a M.A. in Russian Language & Literature from the University of Kansas in 1981 and a B.S. in Russian, Spanish & Linguistics from Georgetown University in 1979. He served as president of the Xi of Ohio Phi Beta Kappa chapter and since 1996 has been the editor of Slavic Studies: Journal of the Society for Slovene Studies.
Professor Pogačar’s research interests include Twentieth-century Russian literature and Slovenian literature.
The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.	—Dwight D. Eisenhower

(Continued from last week)
Wednesday, Nov. 10, 1954
I took packages to the post office downtown and went to see the “Food and Home” display in the Public Auditorium. At May Co. i bought a “White” electric sewing machine for $200, on the condition that I could return it if my wife doesn't like it.
Cilka felt the sewing machine was much too expensive, so I took it back. Friday, Nov. 12, 1954 A salesman came to our home and showed us sewing machines for $58 and $190. The first one was no good, the second too expensive.
Saturday, Nov. 13, 1954 We went to the St. Vincent de Paul store on Superior and E. 53r<^. I bought an old suit and Cilka found a sewing machine for $7. It uses a foot pedal for power and works fine.
Sunday, Nov. 14, 1954 This afternoon Karl Erznožnik drove us to the west side, 4730 Broadview, where Ruth Jesenko will have her Wedding. On the way back.
we stopped and visited Mary Kolenc on W. 22. She showed us some turniture that we could have. Wednesday, Nov. 17,1954
Both Cilka and I are often having dreams about our next child, always with bad signs: dirty water, fish, meat, priests and dead people. Last night l also dreamed about my mother, the first time since she died two months ago.
In the evening, Fortuna and 1 stripped the paint off the sewing machine, so I can refinish it.
Thursday, Nov. 18, 1954
Bill Risher (the shop owner) finally asked who wants a turkey for Thanksgiving and who wants ham. 1 want turkey! There is also talk about 5 layoffs.
In the afternoon, a friend drove his truck twice to Kolenc’s on West 22 to pick up a tall wardrobe, two chests of drawers, a chair, two beds and other things for us. I gave him $8 for both trips.
Saturday, Nov. 20, 1954
I received books from my brother Vlado in Slovenia: a grammar book for Prof. Ovsenik, a cookbook for Cilka and an English-Sloven ian dictionary for me.
America
Sunday, Nov. 21, 1954
I wrote a letter to my father, then filled out citizenship forms for Mrs. Cerar.
Tuesday, Nov. 23, 1954
The shop gave me a 23 pound turkey for Thanksgiving.
Wednesday, Nov. 24, 1954
Today’s check did not include a deduction for Social Security, which means Eve earned more than the maximum taxable for Social Security, which is $3,600.
Friday, Nov. 26, 1954
I worked all day on refinishing the furniture we got earlier this week.
Tuesday, Nov. 30, 1954
The shop received a new shipment of steel pieces to work on. Now some of us will need to work 10 hours a day.
In the evening I went shopping for presents for St. Nicholas. Mrs. Ovsenek helped pay for the presents.
Sunday, Dec. 5, 1954
Last night, while the children slept, St. Nicholas brought lots of presents: a toy car for each boy, new slippers and many other things. The children were happy and played all day.

‘Thank you’ plaques to be displayed at Lemont Center
In Lemont, Illinois, at the Slovenian Cultural Center, when the building was completed and dedicated five years ago, a fund-raising effort was begun for financial help. Our beautiful building is worth more than a million dollars, and it is even more valuable in its wonderful service to us. We gather there with joy in our hearts and always have an uplifting visit.
The major fundraiser that was begun in 1995 is now finally coming to a close. The Slovenska Lipa Tree memorial wall decoration will be installed and viewed for the first time at our fifth anniversary.
The Blessing of the Slovenska Lipa will be a part of the fifth anniversary celebration and take place right after Holy Mass at the Dom. The Lipa Tree is composed of almost 400 golden, silver and bronze lipa leaves that form the tree. Underneath there are about 60 stones of various sizes, all with in-, scriptions. Some of our leaves are memorials to past loved ones and families, and some are just a statement of loyalty and love. Many individuals are named, as well as families. Our Slovenian organizations have been most generous and many businesses are represented.
In addition to the Lipa Tree, we will dedicate a wall plaque stating the names of the many skilled builders who volunteered their time and expertise in the actual building of the place.
Most of all the work it took to build our Slovenski Dom was done by these masters of all forms of construction, bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers laborers and finishers, painters and carpet/tile layers.
The work was immense and a challenge to all. But, we have been enjoying the result of their work now for five years, and it is time to recognize them. We have 72 names on the Builders’ Honor Roll, and each one of them gave us their generous spirit and skill. We know that to them all the thanks they need is the successful continuation of the activities and affection every one has shown here in whatever they are doing.
Next time* anyone visits the Slovenski Dom they will find a beautiful and artistic indoor Lipa Tree, to match those living ones outdoors that were planted five years ago and are now growing big and strong.
Everyone is cordially invited to the Slovenian Cultural Center’s Anniversary, Nov. 12.

Hawken’s Bryan true to his stripes
Tom Bryan worked some of college football’s biggest games and called a few of the sport’s famous plays for 15 years as a big Ten official.
He was one of the league’s most respected side judges, but now, Bryan is on the sidelines. He retired as a Big Ten official after last season.
“There’s a little withdrawal,’’ said Bryan, who is the athletic director at Hawken School in Pepper Pike. Ohio. “On Saturdays, you turn on the television set and see guys you know. More than anything else, I miss the friendships. I’ve stayed in telephone contact with some of the guys.”
The Big Ten Football Officials Association is an exclusive club. Each season, 49 officials form the group that works Big Ten games. From 1985 through 1999, Bryan was one of the 49.
“I was about to turn 60, and that’s sort of a magic number,” said Bryan, who continues to work as an Arena Football League official. “The Big Ten looks at milestones like 10, 15, 20 years. I knew I’d reach 15, but I didn’t know if I’d reach 20. I was able to go out at peace with myself and on my own terms, and during my last year, I was happy to hear some nice things said about me from people around the league.”
Bryan began officiating junior high school games in 1964, then advanced to high school, Ohio Conference, Ohio Valley Conference and Mid-American Conference games during the next 20 years. In 1970, Bryan became the Hawken athletic
director, a position he expects to retire from in the next eight months. The Hawks have won numerous state championships in boys and girls swimming and girls track during Bryan’s tenure as athletic director, and have become a state power in boys and girls soccer.
Bryan was vacationing in Florida during spring 985 when the supervisor of Big Ten officials, Gene Calhoun, called to offer him an official’s job. The second game Bryan worked was Michigan State at Notre Dame in a nationally televised night match-up.
“In the first quarter, you’re still in a dream world; you’re sort of numb,” Bryan said.
“Any pressure never bothered me, though. I think the first time you walk out of the tunnel with 105,000 people in the stands at Michigan, you can’t help but notice. But once the game starts, you have to concentrate on your responsibilities so much, and that’s what keeps your attention.”
Big-time college coaches look for any advantage. It’s no surprise that they try to influence the seven man officiating crews.
“Once, I walked into a locker room several hours before game-time, and I saw pictures of all seven of us on a bulletin board, with the names of our wives and children and what our regular jobs were,” said Bryan, who lives in Richmond Heights with his wife, Dorothy. Their sons, Brad, 35, a lawyer, and Ted, 33, a sales representative, were three-sport athletes at Hawken.

“Coaches will ask about your family,” Bryan said, “but they’re not usually that interested. They’re looking for an edge. I always thought, “they can’t quote silence.” So I would just say, “Good afternoon, coach,’ and not say anything else.”
Beginning every March, Big Ten officials take monthly rule-book tests. In August, they attend an intense three-day rules clinic at the league offices in Chicago.
The night before the game, and on the morning of the game, the men study films of their work and of the teams about to play. After the game, they review game films and document all calls. The officials are graded by four people: both coaches, a referee observer in the press box and the Big Ten supervisor of officials after he meets with technical advisers and reviews films.
It’s serious business, because much is at stake during many of the games. Bryan officiated three Ohio State-Michigan games and three major bowl games. He worked the 1990 Sugar Bowl, when the University of Miami defeated Alabama, 33-25, and won the national championship.
The shelves along two walls in Bryan’s small office at Hawken are filled with books on various subjects. In the midst of them are three framed photographs of Bryan in action. One of the pictures shows Bryan in the end zone signaling touchdown., with Colorado’s Mi-

chael Westbrook and a Michigan defender at his feet. Westbrook had just caught the 64-yard “Hail Mary” pass from Kordell Stewart, giving Colorado its dramatic 27-26 win at Ann Arbor, Mich.
“The place was very, very noisy,” Bryan said, recalling the memorable 1994 game. “After that play, you could hear a pin drop, it was so quiet.”
When Ohio State’s David Boston caught a long touchdown pass over Michigan’s Charles Woodson, who had slipped, it was Bryan who flagged the Buckeyes receiver for taunting his opponent. Michigan won the i997 game, 20-14 in Ann Arbor.
As much as an official concentrates on rules and
mechanics, he can’t help but notice great players.
Bryan said he was impressed by how Michigan's Desmond Howard “could catch the ball along the sideline, with a foot one inch in bounds” or how Purdue’s Drew Brees has an “amazing way of putting the ball right on the receiver’s fingertips without their breaking stride” or how he was surprised that, when Wisconsin’s Ron Dayne “turned the corner, I actually saw defensive backs fall down on purpose so they wouldn’t have to hit him.”

100 WORDS MORE OR LESS By John Mercina
ALL SAINTS & ALL SOULS
Information that follows was taken from a Slovenian book entitled, “Pod Vernim Krovom**, detailing old Slovenian customs surrounding the holy days throughout the Church year.
“Our ancestors gave a lot more thought than we do today to the eternity and their soul. Because of that fact, the November 1 and 2 dates had a much bigger meaning to the faithful. The church stressed that the souls in purgatory needed the prayers of the faithful that were alive, for them to be able to get out of purgatory and get to heaven. Fasting and abstinence were the norm in the days before All Saints Day. In Bela Krajina, no food or drink of any kind was allowed until darkness. Children were told that it is better for all of us to be fasting here on earth as a group, than to suffer by ourselves in purgatory. Many faithful visited the cemeteries in the days before All Saints Day to perform annual upkeep of the gravesite. The ladies of the house busied themselves with baking of small breads, similar to a “zemlja”. In the Primorsko and the Notranjsko regions, these small breads were called “vabtiČi**. They were given to poor kids and adults who came in large groups to the outside of individual homes and hollored that they came to get “God’s hlebček kruha” ( bread baked the size of a large dinner role). Near Ajdov&ina and Idrija, these small breads were called “presce”. The normal thank you for being given this bread were the words “God have pity on the souls in purgatory” or “Bog lonaj”. In the hills around Idrija, the rule was that the recipient of the bread had to pray as many Our Fathers as there were the number of blades of grass in an area that would be covered by the small bread, were it placed on the ground. The recipient had to pray either for the giver or for giver’s deceased relatives. A typical home baked as many as 200 to 300 of these small breads every year to pass out to the poor people that came to individual homes, begging for food. Other items that were given to the poor were apples, pears and potatoes. In other parts of Slovenia, similar small breads were called “sirkuec” in Koroško, “’’krapce” in StJakob and “hejdovca” in Rož. Some of these breads were also passed out at the cemetery. Many poor people collected whole wagons full of bread. “
What do you plan on doing for the poor this All Saints and All Souls days?

Tony Petkovšek, fulltime polka radio producer (WELW) since 1961, welcomes everyone once again this November for the first fling of this century, “Polkas 2000.”
Some of the most outstanding holiday polka events have been staged each Thanksgiving through the initial 1960s and 70s at the Slovenian Home on St. Clair; the changing 80s at St. Joseph High School on E. 185 St.; and in the last decade, the 90s through 2000, in downtown Cleveland.
America’s “premiere”
polka event, sometimes referred to as the “Cleveland-Style Polka Extravaganza,” will welcome everyone at the beautiful Marriott Hotel at Key Center, just off Public Square at St. Clair for the ninth time. Tony’s committee, the Cleveland-Slovenian Radio Club, is capably directed by Tony Petkovšek, and Secretary Alice Kuhar, and assists in the hospitality hosting at the Thursday, Nov. 23 and Friday, Nov. 24 polka parties. Proceeds from these functions support Tony’s daily radio programs.
In the Grand Ballroom
the cabaret dance and shows feature 20 of the country’s great Cleveland (Slovenian) style bands and artists beginning at 4 p.m. on Thursday and 1 p.m. Friday. Bands include Fred Ziwich, Karl Lukitsch, Bob Kravos, Frank Moravcik-Linda Lee Brown, Happy Timers, The Casuals, Tops Cardone-Nancy Seibert, Eddie Rodick, Joe Novak, Frank Feil, Jeff Winard Fritz’s Band, Button Box Connection, Mike Wojtila, Joey Mi-skulin, Walter Ostanek, and Joey Tomsick.
In addition, on Thurs-
day, the Kres folk dancers will give us a Viennese Waltz demonstration.
On Saturday, November 25 all attention turns to the new location Euclid High Auditorium, 711 East 222 Street for the spectacular “Awards Show XIII” at 2 p.m. That evening, events return to the Marriott downtown for Bishop Pevec’s Polka Mass at 6 p.m. accompanied by Cleveland-Lake Erie Ensemble.
Then “Meet the Winners Dance” is on with introductions of the Polka Hall of Fame top award recipients and entertainment provided

Slovenian Americans Join Harkin to support A1 Gore
Leaders in Ohio’s Slovenian American community joined fellow Slovene, Senator Tom Harkin (D-lowa) by phone at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, to show the support of the Slovenian American community for A1 Gore.
In addition to Harkin, Council President Mike Polenšek, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Councilwoman Meryll Gordon, Councilman Joe Cimperman, Frank Chukayne. Tony Petkovšek also was present to cover the event.
“As a proud Slovenian American, I am especially pleased to join with the leaders of the largest Slovenian community outside of Ljubljana to support A1 Gore,” said Harkin, Democrat from Iowa, and a leading figure in the United States Senate. “A1 Gore not only has the right priorities for America, he has the foreign policy experience for these critical times.”
Added Frank Chukayne, a venerable figure in Cleveland’s Slovenian Community, “I am very worried about the impact of George W. Bush’s policy on Slovenian security. He wants to diminish our role in Europe - and where does that leave Slovenia? In NATO and the West -or somewhere else? Under the Clinton-Gore Administration our relationship with Slovenia has blossomed. And I know for sure that under A1 Gore Slovenia will become a full NATO member.”
Councilman Cimperman stated that, “A1 Gore represents the values of Slovenian Americans, and his policies will do the most for our community.”
Council President Polenšek summed up the feeling of the group, “A1 Gore is right for our community, right for our foreign policy, and right for America.”

RADENCI
ong ago on a marshy meadow in the middle of the village of Radenci there was a deep well with 'strangely boiling water. Numerous gas bubbles hissed and burst from the tumultuous water. The villagers were amazed and frightened by this natural wonder and believed it to be a “bublja” where the witches were cooking hail with which to destroy their fields and vineyards.
They feared that the day after the “bublja” erupted, a terrible thunderstorm would break over the land and ruin the crops on the hills of Kapela, Murščak and Janežev vrh.
Many years passed before the people realized that their “bublja” was a rich source of mineral water and renamed their village Slatina Radenci - Radenci mineral spa.

If a candidate can’t even support the most fundamental of rights

how can we trust him on other issues?
KNOW WHERE THE CANDIDATES STAND*.
GEORGE W. BUSH
George W. Bush wants to stop partial-birth abortion.
AL GORE*
A1 Gore wants to keep partial-birth abortion legal.
*The Clinton/Gore administration twice vetoed a ban on partial birth abortion.
This is partial birth abortion in a nurse’s own words:
"The baby’s little fingers were clasping and unclasping, and his little feet were kicking. Then the doctor stuck the scissors in the back of the head and the baby’s arms jerked out, like a startle reaction, like a flinch, like a baby does
when he thinks he is going to fall. The doctor opened up the scissors, stuck a high-powered suction tube into the opening and sucked the baby’s brains out.
Now the baby went completely limp."

In the new era that resulted, some of America's strongest friends and allies have been the democracies of Central and Eastern Europe. These countries are making progress toward developing market economies and democratic political systems that are the best way to ensure their long-term stability and security.
In their recent histories, these nations have shown their commitment to the values shared by members of the transatlantic community. Many have already made a real contribution to the defense of these values in Bosnia and Kosovo.
The basic principles of freedom and dignity are universal. People should be able to say what they think, worship as they wish, and elect those who govern them. These ideals have proven their power on every continent. Through their historic struggle against Communism and their ultimate triumph, the people of Central and Eastern Europe inspired the world. All Americans recognize and applaud the tremendous achievements of the people of Central and Eastern Europe in reclaiming their freedom and rejoining the transatlantic community of democracies.
America has one national creed, but many accents. If I am elected President, I will actively support the democracies of Central and Eastern Europe by promoting economic development and regional peace, and strengthening ties between these nations and the United States of America.

- Vesti iz Slovenije -
v pričakovanju nove vladne koalicije - V torek nadaljevanje seje novega parlamenta
Ta teden še vedno potekajo pogovori o oblikovanju nove koalicijske vlade. Mandatar bo gotovo bivši premier Janez Drnovšek, saj razpolaga njegova Liberalna demokracija s kar 34 od vseh skupaj 90 poslancih mest. (V današnji AD je seznam vseh Poslancev.) Seja novega državnega zbora se bo nadaljevala prihodnji torek, še vedno P°d predsedovanjem dr. Jožeta Bernika kot najstarejšega poslanca. Do torka pa priča-^uiejo, da bo že znana sestava koalicije, aJe bodo tudi znani kandidati za predsednika in podpredsednike državnega zbora.
Po oblikovanju koalicijske vlade bo Dr-novšek nato predlagal potrditev s strani Parlamenta ministre svoje vlade. Glede na očitno levičarsko večino v novem državnem zboru naj bi bili ti ministri potrjeni že do °nca tega meseca. Če bo vse -šlo brez za-stojev oz. zapletov, naj bi Drnovškova naj-aovejša vlada pričela delovati najkasneje do decembra. V zraku še vedno visi, ali se bo koaliciji pridružila tudi SLS SKD. Če Se pridružila - stranka je znotraj zelo
azklana -, naj bi dobila dve ministrstvi in SlCcr
k notranje in kmetijsko. Pričakujejo, da 0 Dimitrij Rupel v novi vladi zopet postal Zunanji minister.

Pretekli torek Zvezna republika Jugoslavije
postala nova članica Združenih držav — Članstvo podprla tudi Slovenija
V torek je Varnostni svet OZN v New Yorku soglasno podprl, naj postane ZRJ nova članica Združenih narodov. VS je namreč brez ugovora in glasovanja sprejel resolucijo, v kateri priporoča generalni skupščini sprejem v OZN “nove” države ZRJ. Za sprejem po-Miloševičeve ZRJ so vse štiri države, naslednice nekdanje Jugoslavije. Tako bodo v OZN končno z droga spustili zastavo nekdanje SFRJ z redečo zvezdo -ta pred palačo OZN še visi - in izobesili zastavo ZRJ.
O pomenu te odločitve je slovenski veleposlanik pri OZN Ernest Petrič dejal: “VS je priporočil, da se ZRJ sprejme v članstvo ZN po postopku, ki velja za vse nove članice, torej tako, kot je bila bila sprejeta Slovenija in vse druge nove članice. To je jasno potrdilo, da se ji ne priznava kontinuiteta.”
Za Slovenijo in tudi za Hrvaško, Makedonijo in Bosno in Hercegovino je to pomembno zaradi bodoče razdelitve mednarodnega premoženja nekdanje SFRJ. V pogajanjih o tem ne bo mogla več ZRJ trditi, tako je pričakovanje, da je edina naslednica nekdanje SFRJ, to je pa odločno trdila ZRJ, ko je bila pod kontrolo Miloše-vičevega režima.
Papež sprejel slovenske romarje
Kot je bilo napovedano, se je 4000 slovenskih romarjev udeležilo maše v baziliki sv. Petra v Rimu, daroval jo je ljubljanski nadškof in metropolit dr. Franc Rode. Z romarji je bilo 8 škofov in 180 duhovnikov. Po maši se je romarjem pridružil papež Janez Pavel II. in jih nagovoril v. slovenščini.

Čakajoč na volitve na Havajih
Volilna zmaga LDS na tretjih državnozborskih volitvah je tako prepričljiva, da jo lahko opredelimo za sanjsko. K uresničitvi teh sanj pa je poleg strankinega prvaka dr. Drnovška pomagalo kar nekaj srečnih okoliščin, ki jih je seveda stranka znala odlično izkoristiti v svoj prid. V politiki se zgodijo tudi tako neverjetni preobrati, kakor je bil tisti, ki je LDS pomagal na oblast po volitvah 1996, ko je Pucko prestopil iz SKD k LDS in tako omogočil izvolitev Drnovška za mandatarja, sedaj pa je bil nagrajen od volivcev LDS in je zopet v parlamentu. Sodeč po tem primeru, bi lahko rekli, da v Sloveniji velja pravilo: manj si načelen, bolj si priljubljen.
Seveda pa po tem principu ne deluje volilna baza nekdanjih SKD in dela SLS. Veljaki obeh strank so v tem mandatu praktično v celoti izpadli iz igre. To bo za združeno stranko imelo seveda hude posledice in njena prihodnost je popolnoma nepredvidljiva. Lekcija volilnega telesa je tako očitna, da bi človek še isti večer pričakoval jasno priznanje poraza in odstop vodstva. Kdor je malo zaznaval utrip ljudi, je to lahko pričakoval in da je guverner Arhar v takšnih okoliščinah izpostavil svoje cenjeno ime, je nerazumljivo. Iskati krivce za poraz zunaj političnega vodstva nekdanje SKD in SLS je seveda samo še dodaten dokaz, kako slabi strategi so bli ves čas.
Res je, da so marsikatere okoliščine bile težko in premišljeno nastavljene s strani političnih nasprotnikov, vendar je lastna modrost tista, na katero se je potrebno zanesti, do nje pa prideš tudi tako, da ljudem, ki ti dobro hočejo, prisluhneš. Res je, da so bili mediji skrajno nenaklonjeni SLS, ko je bila v vladi LDS. Da je SLS “pokasirala" krivdo za razpad koalicije, pa je posledica njene lastne nerodnosti. Tudi dejstvo, da je v primeru večinskega volilnega sistema združena stranka odigrala vlogo, ki jo je, ne samo vprašanje vsebine, ampak načina. Volilna kampanja od tod naprej je za LDS bila kakor čakanje na jesenske volitve na Havajih.
Bajukovi vladi so se od vsega začetka pisali slabi časi, ker se je z njenim nastopom začela volilna kampanja, ki jo je vzel v svoje roke predsednik države in pridno pisal pisma ter bil zaskrbljen nad nekaterimi komentarji. Nekatere kadrovske rešitve in poteze nekaterih ministrov so dajale dovolj netiva za to, da so vlado z vsemi topovi obdelovali, vključno s sindikati, ki že dolgo niso bili tako dejavno ka-

LEMONTSKI ODMEVI
November, mesce za molitve za naše rajne. Slovenska pesem poje: Zbudi človek srce svoje / in poslušaj mili glas: spomni se na rajne svoje, / prosijo pomoči nas.
Pri Mariji Pomagaj je prva nedelja v novembru posvečena molitvam za naše rajne sobrate, starše, sorodnike in dobrotnike - le-montske Verne duše. Zbrali se bomo na pokopališču sv. Frančiška (ob 2h pop.) in pomolili ob grobovih naših sobratov in škofa Gregorija Rožmana, nakar se bomo med molitvijo rožnega venca podali k sv. maši v cerkev. Rojaki, ki so hvaležni rajnim frančiškanom se nam pridružijo. Nas pa spominja in opominja bi. A. M. Slomšek: V nebesih sem doma, / to o-znanjujeta / mi zemlja in nebo / in vsaka stvar lepo. Po maši bo v cerkvi komemoracija škofa Rožmana.
Na pismo, ki smo ga razposlali, za “Novembrske maše in molitve”, smo prejeli mnogo odgovorov in prošenj. Zaprošene molitve in sv. maše za rajne v tem mesecu dnevno opravljamo. Rojaki se zavedajo, koliko pomeni molitev za rajne, na drugi strani pa rajni za nas posredujejo pri Bogu.
Rojstni dan obhaja p. Martin Stepanich -	12.
nov.; isti dan tudi goduje. Goduje tudi p. Leonard Bogolin - 26. nov.
Sobratje, ki jih je v novembru Bog poklical k sebi: p. Andrej Svete, 7. nov. 1988; br. Franc Ksaverij Paton, 9. nov. 1952; br. Serafin Vene, 9. nov. 1985; p. Anzelm Murn, 20. nov. 1941; p. Rafael Sešek, 21. nov. 1999. Naj počivajo v božjem miru.
Septembra nas je obiskal višji predstojnik slovenskih frančiškanov p. Stane Zore, OFM. Ob tem obisku se je pogovarjal s sobrati in smo pod njegovih vodstvom o-pravili letne duhovne vaje.
Omenili smo že visoko
obletnico mašniškega posvečenja: p. Kalist Langerholc - 65 let, p. Beno Korbič -60 let. Družinsko praznovanje je bilo 7. julija.
Odbor Slovenskega kulturnega centra pa je zanju pripravil slavje drugo nedeljo v septembru. V cerkvi je bila slovesna maša, ko sta jubilanta ob p. Atanazi-ju somaševala. Po maši je bil v dvorani banket, kjer ju je pozdravil in jim čestital predsednik Centra, Martin Hozjan. Jubilanta se zahvaljujeta in prosita Boga, da bi blagoslavljal delo in načrte vodstva in članov, ostali sobratje se jima pridružujemo.
Pri Šolskih sestrah sv. Frančiška Kristusa Kralja je
21.	septembra Bog odpoklical s. Dorothy Jurkovich, OSF. Sestra je bila rojena v Jolietu 27. januarja 1917 in krščena v cerkvi Marijinega rojstva (St. Mary Nativity). K Šolskim sestram je vstopila 4. oktobra 1931.
Poučevala je na postojankah, kjer so sestre imele na skrbi farne šole. Poleg tega je nekaj let poučevala angleščino na dekliški Mt. Assisi Academy v Lemon tu. Tudi našim mlajšim sobratom je bila pripravljena pomagati s svojim izrednim posluhom za angleški jezik, za kar smo hvaležni. - Naše sožalje sosestram, s. Dorothy pa naj počiva v luči božjega objema.
Petdeset let poteka, kar so Šolske sestre na Mt. Assisi odprle dekliško High School, Mt. Assisi Academy. Za to priliko je bilo več proslav. Precej sester, ki so tedaj poučevale, je Bog že poklical po zasluženo plačilo. Predstojništvu, sestri ravnateljici in ostalim sestram čestitke s prošnjo, da bi Bog še vnaprej blagoslavljal njihovo vzvišeno delovanje med mladino.
Medeni piknik 2000 (nadaljevanje):	Dan pred

kor zadnje mesece. Si bodo sedaj vzeli dopust? Ker se je Bajuk dobro izvil iz avnojske pasti, je ostala še zadnja past, povezana z Beneško komisijo in razkrivanjem davčnih neplačnikov. Koncentracija je bila zadnji teden izredno velika in bil bi čudež, če ne bi prihajalo do napak, ki pa za Novo Slovenijo niso bile usodne. Verjetno pa so bile usodne za koalicijo Slovenija, ki je izgubila pomen. Med tem ko sta NSi in SDS imeli odprte vse fronte, tudi znotraj vladne koalicije s SLS SKD, je LDS lahko brez konfliktov vstopila v volilni finale. Pomladni blok se je tako vedno bolj pogrezal v lastno sprtost, ki je nekakšna stalnica vsa leta.

Purkart napekle krofe (več kot 900). Margaret Rems je še napekla 20 štrudljev. Mihaela Simrayh je prinesla 12 potic. Pecivo so še darovale: Mici Jeretina, Ida Babič, Ema Purkargt, Joži Horvat, Julka Kaluža, Micka Mavec, Pepca Bunšek, Sofija Rašeta, Marija Glavač, Ivanka Žerdin, Marija Rigler, Marinka Rozman, Minka Grašič in Lilijana Čepon. Več jih je še, pa ne žele objave. Dolores Puhek in njena sestra Genevieve Buol in nekatere
od SWU #2 so imele na skrbi male dobitke in prodajo srečk.
Ker je bil tedaj na obisku mariborski škof dr. Franc Kramberger, je bilo letos kosilo medenega piknika v dvorani Kulturnega centra. Kuhinjo sta imeli na skrbi Frances in Ed Fritz, pomagali so Vladimir in Nancy Grah, Joe Kular, Valerie Guvo, Meta Hanzlik in Magajnovi Mojca, Mil*) Mark in Miha. Vstopnice so prodajale: Mihaela Sini' rayh, Ivanka Markun in Rudi Crnekovič.
V kuhinji na gričku so skrbeli za hrano: Julka in Martin Kacin, Marinka in Bernard Rozman, Nežka Lodewick, Slavica Sovan, Ljuba Novak in Julia Lavoie. Vsaka od teh je tudi darovala hrano ali pecivo. Za pijačo so skrbeli Mar-kunovi.
Če se je vrinila kaka pomota, prosimo, da nas obvestite. Zahvala vsem, ki ste kakorkoli pripomogli k lepemu uspehu “Medenega piknika 2000.” Bog plačaj in blagoslavljaj Vas in Vaše družine!

Snubitve ni konec
LJUBLJANA (Delo fax, 30. okt. 2000) - Po napovedih visokih predstavnikov liberlane demokracije naj bi bila koalicijska pogajanja vsaj v glavnem sklenjena do konca tega tedna. Najpozneje v četrtek pa bo - če že ne zaradi drugega, zaradi sklicane seje komisije državnega zbora za imenovanja, na kateri bodo obravnavali predlagane kandidate za predsednika državnega zbora - znano vsaj, katere stranke bodo zagotovo sestavljale bodočo koalicijo.
Glavno odprto vprašanje 0 nje je še naprej, kako se bodo v ljudski stranki oddali na vabilo liberalne demokracije, naj vstopijo v koalicijo in prevzamejo vodenje dveh ministrstev - za notranje zadeve in za kmetijstvo.
Na ljudski stranki so po v°lilnem porazu razdvojeni, nekateri so prepričani, da bi morala stranka prestopiti v opozicijo, drugi vztrajajo, je edina možnost za konsolidiranje stranke, da s sklenitvijo koalicijske pogodbe z liberalno demokra-cijo še naprej ostanejo vladajoča stranka.
spet
O tem se njeni najvišji 0rgani pogovarjajo že dva tedna, od razglasitve volil-n'b izidov (oziroma pora-Za)- Tudi danes (tj. pone-de\jek) naj 5J se na izredni Seji izvršilni odbor razPravljal o tem.
Ni izključeno, da sta ^truji bratov Marjana in aneza Podobnika, ki zago-Varjata odhod v opozicijo, ter zmernejših in mlajših strankinih politikov (med njimi izstopata Peter Vrisk 'n Prane But), že sklenili °nipromis. zmernejši naj * Popustili in privolili, da anez Podobnik postane vo-
dja poslanske skupine in tako ohrani vsaj eno pomembnejšo funkcijo - to se je zgodilo pretekli petek -brata Podobnik in njuni privrženci pa naj bi prav tako popustili in se strinjali, da se lahko zmerna struja začne pogovarjati z liberalno demokracijo o vstopu stranke v vlado.
Kako se bo odločil njen predsednik Franc Zagožen, ki je doslej nihal med odhodom v opozicijo in vstopom stranke v vlado, še ni znano.
V naslednjih dneh naj bi se med bodočima glavnima koalicijskima partnericama, liberalno demokracijo in združeno listo, nadaljevala! pogajanja o konkretnih problemih, s katerimi se bo spoprijela bodoča koalicija in na podlagi katerih naj bi oblikovali vsebinski del koalicijske pogodbe.
A ne glede na to, se bodo do četrtka zaradi omenjene seje komisije za volitve, imenovanja in kadrovske zadeve, na kateri bodo poslanci obravnavali predloge za kandidate za predsednika državnega zbora, morali odločiti tudi, kdo (in katera stranka) bo zasedel ta položaj. G. R.
^rva seja državnega zbora
^LJBLJANA (Delo fax, 28. okt. 2000) - Na včerajšnji petkovi) ustanovni seji je novi državni zbor potrdil Mandate novih poslancev, imenoval komisijo za volitve, enovanja in administrativne zadeve (kviaz), nato pa je na Predlog Toneta Anderliča (LDS) prekinil prvo sejo in |° bo nadaljeval v torek, 7. novembra. Do tedaj naj bi bi-a znana vladna koalicija, zato bo kviaz lahko pripravil Podlog za predsednika, tri podpredsednike in delovna te-CSa državnega zbora.

Nato je poslance nagovoril predsednik republike Milan Kučan. Dejal je, da je Slovenija stabilna in demokratična država, za kar imajo zasluge tudi poslanci prejšnjih mandatov. Temelji države in cilji so jasni in zavezujoči za vse rodove upravljavcev slovenske države. Med njimi je odločenost za vstop Slovenije v Evropsko unijo in NATO.
Prav poslanci sedanjega
sklica bodo postavljeni pred to odgovornost. Prej pa bodo morali opraviti še nekaj pomembnih nalog, ki bodo oblikovale podobo Slovenije, da bo ustrezala življenju v evropski skupnosti.
O vstopu Slovenije v EU bodo odločali državljani, je nadaljeval Kučan. Odgovornost poslancev pa je, da bo referendum o vstopu po vsebini in po pravni izpeljavi pripravljen enako skrbno, kakor je bil pred desetimi plebiscit za samostojno Slovenijo.
Med neodložljive dolžnosti države pa ta hip sodijo priprava proračuna za leto 2001, reforma in posodobitev javne uprave, dokončanje denacionalizacije in privatizacije na nekaterih pomembnih področjih gospodarske infrastrukture, odprava zaostankov pri vključevanju v Evropsko unijo in zagotovitev razmer za odpravo zaostankov na sodiščih, pravi Kučan.
Nujno bo tudi urediti nerešene zadeve v odnosih s Hrvaško, določiti razmerje z Avstrijo, poskrbeti za položaj slovenskih manjšin in določiti strategijo urejanja razmerij z državami nekdanje Jugoslavije.
Pričakovanja pred začetkom dela državnega zbora so velika, je poudaril Ku-(dalje na sir. 16)

maša v Baragovi katedrali. Glavni mašnik je bil marque ttski škof James Garland, somaševala sta škofa Kenneth Povish in Alojzij Uran, poleg teh je somaše-valo še 12 duhovnikov, največ iz Baragove škofije. Pri seji smo zvedeli, da se je p. Bruno Korošak iz zdravstvenih razlogov odpovedal službi postulatorja Baragove zadeve. Oznanjeno je bilo tudi, da bodo naslednje leto Baragovi dnevi v Lan-singu, Michigan. Vodil jih bo škof Kenneth Povish, ki je vabil k obisku.
Veseli smo rojakov, ki kljub telesnemu in duševnemu trpljenju, dosežejo lepo starost. Tako nekako pozno čestitamo g. Niku Tomcu za 90. rojstni dan. G. Niko živi v Jupiter, Fla., in je dolgoletni naročnik Ave Maria. Njegov brat, rajni msgr. Matija Tomc, je eden največjih slovenskih skladateljev, zlasti verske glasbe. Bog Vas ohrani pri zdravju in Vas še vnaprej blagoslavlja!

Čakajoč na volitve na Havajih
(nadaljevanje s str. 14)
Za vsak primer se je z veliko propagando in z medijsko učinkovitimi nastopi pojavila Stranka mladih Slovenije, v kateri se je dalo prepoznati študentske funkcionarje, ki dobro vedo, kako se v Sloveniji živi na račun Študentskih servisov, s tem pa na račun študentov, ki si z delom služijo kruh, med tem ko njihpyi, funkcionarji živijo na veliki nogi, od nji-hovih procentov. 'Ideološka nevtralnost te stranke je predvolilna vaba, Td bo kmalu razkrita.
Volilni prag, v katerega je privolil Zagožen po tem, ko je postavil na kocko verodostojnost svoje stranke, s predlogom za spremembo ustave, je tako omogočil, da sta danes v parlamentu SMS in Jelinčič. Kdor govori o presenečenju teh volitev zgolj v povezavi s SMS, pri tem pa zamolči dejstvo, da je tudi Bajukova N Si nastala iz presenečenja in dosegla iz nič lep izid, kaže na svojo pristranskost. SDS je sicer res druga najmočnejša stranka, vendar je njihov rezultat preveč podoben tistemu iz leta 1996, da bi lahko bili zadovoljni s svojo strategijo. Drnovšek ima sedaj lahko delo.
Misel iz predvolilnega komentarja za celovško Nedeljo o predvidenem porazu pomladnega bloka se samo potrjuje. “Pomladnim strankam pa bodo ostali razočarani in velikokrat nemočni državljani, s političnimi voditelji, ki so zaigrali veliko iger. Blok, ki je na vseh dosedanjih volitvah dejansko zmagoval, ni pa uspel sestavljati vlade, bo tako pred popolnoma drugačnimi izzivi. Vprašanje pa je, kdo je sposoben v tem primeru še enkrat zbrai dovolj volje za novi začetek in za drugačen način vladanja, kot smo ga vajeni do sedaj.”
Pa še to. Časopis Mladina je tik pred volitvami hotel z blasfemijo na račun nadškofa potegniti Cerkev v predvolilni boj. To jim ni uspelo. Sedaj pa s pomočjo anonimke, na kateri je sinodalni znak, razglašajo, kako je Cerkev podprla Bajuka. Očitno bi brez Cerkve Mladina ostala brez bralcev.
Kdaj lahko pričakujemo pismo predsednika države na to temo?

čan. Mogoče jih je strniti v zahtevo za povezavo državljanov v skupno prizadevanje za pospešen gospodarski razvoj, politično-pravno in socialno preobrazbo in zanesljivo umestitev v evropske in svetovne gospodar-
•	tv	V-
ske, politične in varnostno-obrambne povezave.
Za to potrebuje Slovenija kompetentno, stabilno, odgovorno in učinkovito vlado, ki bo imela tudi nadzor nad delovanjem v državnem zboru. Milan Kučan je na koncu poslankam in poslancem čestital za izvolitev in jim zaželel štiri leta uspešnega dela v dobro države.
Po nastopu predsednika republike je državni zbor sprejel dnevni red in ga na predlog poslancev LDS razširil še s točko oblikovanja delovnih teles zbora. Izvolili so mandatno imunitetno komisijo, ki jo sestavljajo poslanci iz vseh osmih poslanskih list in ji predseduje Valentin Pohorec (DeSUS).
Komisija je pregledala poročilo o izidu volitev republiške volilne komisije. Pritožb ni bilo, zato je zbor pozneje potrdil mandate vseh 90 poslancev.
V nadaljevanju pa so poslanci imenovali še komisijo za volitve, imenovanja in administrativne zadeve. Predseduje ji Ciril Pucko (LDS), njen podpredsednik je Franc Pukšič (SDS), poleg tega jo sestavlja še 22 poslancev, in sicer osem iz LDS, po trije iz SDS in ZLSD, po dva iz SLS SKD in NSi, in po en poslanec SNS, SMS, DeSUS in narodnosti. Prav ta komisija bo morala pripraviti predlog kandidatov za predsednika, tri podpredsednike in člane delovnih teles novega državnega zbora.

Bodoči zakonci že kot eno
Ljubljana (Delo fax, 28. okt. 2000) - Čeprav liberalna demokracija in združena lista ter druge stranke, ki bi še morebiti sodelovale v koaliciji (ljudska stranka, stranka mladih, stranka upokojencev in nacionalna stranka), še niso podpisale koalicijske pogodbe, pa se jim je uspelo dogovoriti, kako naj bi -na podlagi usklajenega delovanja - potekala zasedanja državnega zbora do iz-
volitve nove vlade. Da je dogovor učinkovit, je bilo mogoče videti že na včerajšnjem (tj. petkovem) začetku konstitutivne seje.
“Scenosled” dogodkov v državnem zboru do izvolitve predsednika vlade, naj bi se skupaj oblikovali v LDS in ZLSD že na zaže-tku tega tedna. Še pred odločitvijo predsednika republike Milana Kučana je bilo tako dogovorjeno, da če se morebitnim bodočim koalicijskim partnerjem ne uspe dogovoriti, kdo in iz katere stranke bo predsednik državnega zbora in koga naj bi predlagali za podpredsednike, predlaga predstavnik liberalne demokracije prekinitev seje državnega zbora (to se je včeraj tudi zgodilo, predlagal je Tone Anderlič).
Seveda pa so se dogovorili tudi o nadaljnjem poteku, vse do imenovanja predsednika vlade in ministrske ekipe. Ker naj bi po pričakovanjih konec prihodnjega tedna končali vse ključne točke dogovorov o prihodnji koaliciji, naj bi predvidoma že pred nadaljevanjem konstitutivne seje DZ napovedali podobo prihodnje koalicije in tudi njeno sestavo, ker pa v okvir koalicijskega dogovora (kot je javno potrdil tudi poslanec ZLSD Miran Po-
trč) spada tudi izbira predsednika državnega zbora, naj bi ime slednjega sporočili hkrati s predstavitvijo koalicije.
Po predvidevanjih v ZLSD in LDS naj bi se tudi uradni pogovori predsednika republike z vodji poslanskih skupin končali do 15. novembra, zato naj bi v obeh glavnih strankah morebitne koalicije (torej v LDS in ZLSD) pričakovali, da je 15. november tudi okvirni datum predlaganja predsednika vlade.
Kot pričakujejo, naj bi bil potem njihov mandatar za sestavo vlade (torej Janez Drnovšek, predsednik LDS) v državnem zboru potrjen najpozneje do konca novembra, takoj za tem pa bi v proceduro (sledijo še zaslišanja kandidatov) vložili že vnaprej pripravljen ministrski kabinet.
Nova vlada naj bi tako - če ne bo zapletov - začela delati okoli 5. decembra.	Grega	Repovž

Slovensko-kanadski svet
TORONTO, Ont. - Od 25. septembra do 3. oktobra je skupina štirideset članov župnij Marije Pomagaj in Brezmadežne obiskovala zgodovinska italijanska mesta Rim, Assisi, Perugio, Arezzo, Firenze, Padovo, Benetke in Akvilejo. 2. oktobra smo romali k Sveto-gorski Mariji nad Novo Gorico, se poslovili in odšli 2- oktobra po različnih poteh v Slovenijo ali nazaj v Kanado.
Po odlično pripravljenem Programu, ki ga je skupaj 2 voditeljem romanja, žup-nikom Valentiom Batičem, Pripravila agencija Kompas Express (Karl Žužek), smo Prvi dan z udobnim avtobusom prispeli iz letališča v Rim. Večno mesto - začetek posebnih dni, ki jih ne bomo pozabili - stara, tisočletna zgodovina kulture, Urrietnosti in krščanstva, se Je na vsakem koraku razgrinjala pred nami in o-krog nas na tem kratkem Potovanju.
Skozi Sveta vrata smo vstopili v baziliko sv. Petra, strmeli v največjo cerkev na svetu, molili na grobu ^ Petra in se s tisoči sve-toletnih romarjev srečevali P° rimskih ulicah. Zvečer nas je v nemškem zavodu ^ovtonicum sprejel sloven-s*c* duhovnik Andrej Saje *n skupaj z g. Batičem da-r°val tam sv. mašo.
\
Sreda, 27. septembra, je k'' nepozabni dan srečanja s sv. očetom v splošni avdienci na trgu sv. Petra. ^ed tisoči romarjev nas je ^ oče pozdravil v slovenskem jeziku. Po zaslugi slo-Venskega veleposlanika pri ^v- sedežu, g. Karla Bonu-t'K nam je papeževa Svinska straža odprla vrata v ^atikan, da smo si ogledali Posopija in vatikanske vrto-Ve ter nabrali fotografij ku-
pole sv. Petra in panorame Rima.
S študentko cerkvene zgodovine in umetnosti smo ta dan obiskali še bazilike sv. Pavla, Marije Snežne (Santa Maria Maggiore) in sv. Janeza v Lateranu. Na naši postaji sredi Rima, v hotelu Portamaggiore, smo se zvečer srečali z mons. Maksimilijanom Jezernikom, rektorjem zavoda Slovenik, kjer študirajo slovenski duhovniki cerkvene vede.
V	četrtek, 28. septembra, po sestanku z dr. Bonutti-jem na slovenskem' veleposlaništvu v Vatikanu smo nadaljevali pot v Assisi k baziliki sv. Frančiška, kjer smo v starodavni kapelici pod cerkvici prisostvovali sv. maši (g. župnik Valentin Batič) in obiskali še cerkev sv. Klare.
V	zadnjem potresu leta 1996 sta bili obe cerkvi močno poškodovani, kakor tudi mesto Assisi.
Zvečer se nam je nudil edinstven pogled: sredi valovitih umbrijskih hribov je stala nad mestom razsvetljena Frančiškova bazilika. Prenočili smo na deželi zunaj Assisija v lepi vili El-da.
Naslednji dan smo po obisku bazilike sv. Marije Angelske, ene najbolj poznanih cerkva v krščanskem svetu, kjer se nahaja Porci-junkulska kapela, potovali po moderni avtocesti proti Firenzam (Florence) in se med potjo ustavili v dveh zgodovinskih mestih Peru-ggia in Arezzo ter znova občudovali srednjeveško arhitekturo in umetnost v starodavnih cerkvah in stavbah.
Zvečer smo dospeli v Firenze in počivali v modernem hotelu Starhotel Vespucci. S pomočjo vzornega vodiča smo drugi dan spo-
znavali lepote srednjeveške renesanse. V cerkvi sv. Križa (Santa Croce) smo stali pred nagrobnimi spomeniki Michelangela, Galileja, Danteja Alighierija in drugih slavnih italijanskih mož renesančne dobe. Ka--; tedrala sv. Marije Rožen-venske ali Duomo, biser renesančne umetnosti, je ena največjih cerkva na svetu.
Kot romarji smo sedaj potrpežljivo prenašali deževno vreme, ki nas je spremljalo po mestnih poteh in trgu do cerkve Santa Maria Novella, kjer nas je čakal avtobus in nas odpeljal v prenočišče.
V	nedeljo, 1. oktobra, smo po hriboviti pokrajini potovali proti Benetkam in se ustavili v Padovi. V cerkvi, kjer je grob sv. Antona Padovanskega, smo o-pravili nedeljsko dolžnost pri maši, ki jo je v samostanski kapeli daroval naš voditelj, g. Valentin Batič. Tu, pri očetih frančiškanih, smo lahko naročili sv. maše po našem namenu.
V	jubilejnem letu 2000 se v vseh znamenitih italijanskih cerkvah prelivajo ti-sočglave množice romaijev iz vsega sveta. Cerkve so včasih kot muzeji, včasih koncertne dvorane in spet bogoslužni prostori, kjer odmevajo pobožne pesmi v svetovnih jezikih. Procesije vernikov se v tihem redu srečujejo - brez policajev in cestnih luči. Sedaj nismo turisti, čeprav so oči polne lepote cerkva in nove dežele. Romarji smo, ki v srcu krščanske vere in civilizacije iščemo potrdila za svoje verovanje, da vztrajamo in s svojim življenjem pričamo Resnico.
Nizko deževno nebo je viselo nad zemljo, ko smo v poznem popoldnevu zagledali Benetke (Venice) in se s čolnom približali slavnemu mestu, kjer nas je čakalo presenečenje. Deževje in morska plima sta preplavila trg sv. Marka. Po mreži ozkih mostičev, ki jih ob takem času postavljajo, so se ljudje previdno pomikali sem in tja.
Sreč.o smo dospeli dc ;cateur'!e. •♦Of nice 2e pod
vodo, notranjost pa vsa odeta v srednjeveško zlato lepoto.
Ob povratku k čolnu je voda že odtekala. Tudi Benetke bomo ohranili v posebnem spominu. Pozno zvečer je naš avtobus pripeljal do hotela Vienna na Jadranski obali. Okusna in pozna večerja se je mokrim in lačnim romarjem prav prilegla, prav tako tudi počitek.
Zadnji dan skupnega potovanja je spet zasijalo sonce. Po ravnini, posejani z vasmi in posebnimi drevesnimi nasadi topolov, smo se ustavili v starodavni Akvileji-Ogleju, mestu, ki je obstojalo že 1. 1181 pred Kristusom in je v času cesarja Avgusta štelo nad dvesto tisoč ljudi.
Odtod so oglejski patriarhi pošiljali misijonarje na vzhod k Slovanom (sv. Mohor in Fortunat). Direktor bazilike, posvečene Mariji Devici, sv. Mohorju in Fortunam, nam je razlagal zgodovino. Od mozaika na tleh iz 4. stoletja do lesenega ostrešja iz 14. stoletja je deset stoletij dogajanj tudi za slovensko zemljo.
V ponedeljek, 2. oktobra, nas je Svetogorska Marija sprejela v svojem svetišču visoko nad Sočo pri Novi Gorici. Tam so kanadske romarje pričakovali ožji in daljni sorodniki in prijatelji našega voditelja g. Valentina, med njimi sta bila tudi koprski škof Metod Pirih in nečak duhovnik Lojze Furlan.
Slednji so skupno darovali sv. mašo, med katero je prepeval domači pevski zbor. Na orgle je igrala voditeljeva nečakinja Martina. Prijazni direktor nam je razlagal posebnosti cerkve, zlasti Marijine podobe, ki ;t po vojni naskrivaj <d-sk. ' ?.;m Zv norice m.;c
ga romanja so nam sorodniki Batičevi pripravili še malico.
Proti večeru smo se vsi Torontčani zadnjikrat zbrali pri avtobusu. Potem so Tineta Končana bratje in sestra z nečaki odpeljali v Poljansko dolino, Jelko Klančičevo so objele sestre iz Grgarja pod Sveto Goro, Francko in Milana Kirina so pravtako pri cerkvi čakali domači in morda še koga... Avtobus je sedem romarjev odložil v hotleu Sabotin za odhod drugega dne v Rim in Kanado, ostale pa peljal v Ljubljano, kjer so se razšli na vse strani Slovenije.
Skupina štiridesetih sve-toletnih romaijev iz župnije Marije Pomagaj in Brezmadežne v Toronto se bo vedno spominjala teh svetih, lepote in milosti božje polnih dni. Voditelju in organizatorju romanja č.g. Valentinu Batiču in g. Karlu Žužku od agencije Kompas Express velja naša prisrčna zahvala. Naj jima Stvarnik vse lepote, vsega stvarstva, pomaga, da bosta s svojim delom še mnogim in dolgo let odkrivala lepote našega notranjega in zunanjega sveta.	Anica Resnik

Nekaj utrinkov iz odnosa slovenske oblasti in Partije do povojnih izseljencev
Dr. MARJAM DRMOVSEK
INŠTITUT ZA SLOVENSKO IZSEUENSTVO, ZNANSTVENO-RAZISKOVALNI CENTER SLOVENSKE AKADEMIJE ZNANOSTI IN UMETNOSTI
(nadaljevanje in konec)
SEDEMDESETA LETA
Že omenjena sedemdeseta leta so bila tudi zelo razgibana. Že leta 1973 je bila na predsedstvu CK ZKJ in SFRJ sprejeta “strategija in usmeritev v družbeno akcijo doma in v tujini”. Vzrok: strah pred izgubo zvestobe jugoslovanskih državljanov v tujini do Jugoslavije in njenega družbenega sistema.
Veliko število jugoslovanskih in slovenskih delavcev na delu v zahodnoevropskih državah je usmerilo pozornost Partije tudi na delo komunistov med izseljenci (1981 govore o 300 slovenskih komunistih-izseljencih, deset let pred tem o 301). Profesionalni partijski delavci naj ne bi skrbeli samo za ohranitev zvestobe Partiji med komunisti-izseljenci, ampak kot aktivisti delovali med vsemi izseljenci, vse v duhu: “Naloga komunistov in vseh organiziranih dejavnikov na tujem in doma je, da med ljudmi na tujem ohranimo dobro politično razpoloženje.”
V sedemdesetih letih se bolj jasno soočita tudi koncepta unitarističnega in nacionalnega organiziranja izseljenskih društev. Slovenska Partija je nastopila proti unitarističnim poskusom in se pri tem sklicevala na mnenje Edvarda Kardelja, ki se je zavzemal za organiziranje izseljencev na nacionalni osnovi (1977).
Nasprotja med Beogradom in Ljubljano so bila prisotna tudi na tem področju, da ne omenjam stalno ponavljajočega se očitka slovenskih izseljencev, da na jugoslovanskih predstavništvih v tujini ne razumejo slovenskega jezika, kar je povzročalo izseljencem nemalo problemov (npr. pri podaljševanju potnih listov, reševanju mnogih življenjskih problemov itd.).
Kljub poudarkom na nacionalnem pa sta idejnopolitična osveščenost in zvestoba neuvrščeni Jugoslaviji ostala temelj pri “delitvi” slovenskih izseljencev na “naše in ostale.
Da je omenjeni problem obstajal, nam potrjuje svo-
jevrstno zanikanje, da ta problem sploh obstaja. Poglejmo si citat iz strogo zaupne informacije o nekaterih nerešenih vprašanjih s področja dela z delavci, začasno zaposlenimi v tujini (1975): “Zelo delikaten in v praksi ne povsem presežen je problem oblike organiziranja delavcev v tujini, ki je često napačno predstavljen:	jugoslovanska
ali nacionalna društva. V praksi je dalj časa prevladovalo mnenje, da so društva lahko organizirana samo kot jugoslovanska društva. To mnenje očitno tudi danes še ni povsem premagano in se pod raznimi oblikami ponovno poskuša uveljaviti.
Naše stališče je, da so oblike združevanja stvar konkretnega interesa delavcev (društva so lahko jugoslovanska, nacionalna, krajevna, športna, profesionalna in podobno), pri čemer predstavljajo osnovo za združevanja predvsem vsebina in interest delavcev: prostovoljnost združevanja, odprtost društev za vse zainteresirane delavce ne glede na njihovo narodnost, patriotičen in samoupravni socialistični Jugoslaviji pozitivno usmerjen odnos društev ter sodelovanje in koordinacija z drugimi društvi glede skupnih vprašanj.”
Pri tem moramo poudariti, da so bila mnenja o organiziranosti izseljenskih društev marsikdaj različna, vendar enotna o njihovi ideološki usmerjenosti.
PO SMRTI TITA
Pomembno prelomnico predstavlja čas po smrti Josipa Broza Tita maja 1980.
V tem času je bilo ponovno veliko govora o družbeni “samozaščiti”, o “zunanjih” in “notranjih” sovražnikih. Oznake za JPE v celoti so ostale še vedno ostre: kontrarevolucionarna, revanšistična, nacionalistična in “tudi deloma fašistična politična skupina”. Njen skupen cilj pa je bil “rušenje političnega in družbenega sistema socialističnega samoupravljanja v SFRJ.”
In kakšne so bile oznake za SPE: klerikalno usmerjena, kontrarevolucionarna v težnji uvedbe “buržoazne pluralistične družbene ureditve ob dominaciji katoliško usmerjenih političnih strank” v okviru “nekakšne konfederacije” ali “v več-

2000
Frank Smole
Dne 11. avgusta 2000 je prenehalo biti plemenito srce ljubljenega moža, očeta, starega očeta, brata in strica ter svaka Franka Smoleta. Po dolgi in težki bolezni je odšel k večnemu počitku. Rojen je bil 19. oktobra 1919 v Preserju, Slovenija. V ZDA, v Cleve-land, je prišel 1. 1950, zadnja leta pa živel v mestu Willowick. Do upokojitve je bil zaposlen pri Chandler Products v Clevelandu. Bil je član Kluba upokojencev Slovenske pristave.
Pokojni zapušča žalujočo ženo Ivanko, roj. Mazi, sina Franka ml. (Kathy) Smole (Dearborn, Mich.); hčerko Marie (David) Kushner (Mentor, O.); vnuka Matthew in Samuel Kushner, brata Jožeta in Ivana z družinama v Avstraliji; sestro Julko v Clevelandu ter sestri Marijo in Ivanko z družinami v Sloveniji. Brat Aoton, sestra Francka Kmet ter starša Janez in Ma-Hil8 roj. Grum so že pokojni.
Pogrebna sv. maša je bila pri cerkvi Marije Vne-hovzete v Collinwoodu. Iskreno se zahvalimo č.g. Davidu McCaffertyju za pogrebno sv. mašo ter tudi vsem drugim čč. gospodom. Bog vam povrni!
Našo zahvalo n^j prejmejo pogrebci in vsi prijate-Jl’ ki so se pogreba udeležili in našega dragega spredli na zadnji poti. Prav tako hvala vsem, ki ste ranka obiskali v času bolezni. Lepa hvala za mašne raove in sožalne kartice. Lepa zahvala vodstvu po-Sfebnega zavoda Monreal-Brickman, 35400 Vine St., astlake, za vzorno vodstvo pogreba.
Iztekla se je k miru pot,
°staja bolečina,
in žalost v srcih za Teboj, ostaja cvet spomina.

jem ali manjšem obsegu izražajo tudi separistične težnje”.
In kakšen naj bi bil “boj” proti njej na začetku osemdesetih let? Najvažnejša izhodišča so bila:
a) z utrjevanjem notranje ekonomske stabilnosti kot garanta slabitve “sovražne aktivnosti”, tako zunanjega
kot notranjega sovražnika, b) s krepitvijo politične aktivnosti, zlasti na področju “obveščanja in propagande” (“Pri tem moramo ne le prestreči sovražnikove akcije, temveč tudi ofenzivno nastopiti, da bi preprečili nove sovražnikove načrte in akcije ... Obveščanje je najprimernejša oblika
spodbujanja in mobilizacije zavesti, krepitve discipline in odgovornosti delovnih ljudi in občanov, torej najprimernejše sredstvo za ustvarjanje pozitivne družbene klime ter preprečevanje vseh družbi škodljivih dejanj zunanjega in notranjega sovražnika.”),
c)	z “ofenzivnim in organiziranim nastopom naših varnostnih sil” v preprečevanju “španovije med zunanjim in notranjim sovražnikom”,
d)	s krepitvijo milice,
e)	s krepitvijo samozaščite in medijske angažiranosti, in
f)	s “Politično budnostjo” vseh občanov republike Slovenije.
Kakor koli že, odnos jugoslovanskih in slovenskih oblasti in političnih organizacij do SPE je bolj ali manj še bela lisa v našem znanstvenem vedenju, saj je več del o njej nastalo med SPE samo, še bogatejša pa je publicistična in umetni-ško-literarna produkcija na omenjeno problematiko.
Čas je, da se tudi o tej in v času komunistične Jugoslavije manj znani tematiki med širšimi krogi ljudi, spregovori tudi v jeziku znanosti, v želji objektivizi-ranja te - še danes - tako občutljive tematike.

Misijonska srečanja in pomenki
1352. Pred kratkim sem prejela pismo misijonarja
Lojzeta Letonja, ki deluje v Sibiriji, in piše:
“Spoštovana gospa! Prav lepo se Vam zahvalim za pismo, ki sem ga prejel pred dvema tednoma. Prav lepa hvala tudi vsem darovalcem za naš misijon. V tem času sem bil v Irkutsku, mestu ob Bajkalskem jezeru (60 km). Tam so bila slavja kar tri dni. Na praznik rojstva Device Marije 8. septembra je bila posvetitev nove stolne cerkve v čast Brezmadežnemu srcu Marijinemu. Naslednji dan, v soboto, se je odvijal ruski Marijanski in Marijološki kongres, ravno tako pod predsedstvom legata. Bila so tri predavanja na temo Marija ali Bogorodica (Božja Mati) v naši verski tradiciji pri protestantih, pravoslavnih in katoličanih.
Drugi del dneva je pa bil posvečen češčenju Božje Matere, ob kipu Srca Marijinega, ki so ga prinesli gostje iz Italije in ga bodo nosili ob procesijah. Blagoslovil ga je papež ob srečanju mladine v Rimu. Molili smo rožni venec v različnih jezikih, potem so bila pričevanja - osebne izpovedi v zvezi s češčenjem Marije v času komunizma-so-cializma.
Tretji dan - nedelja, je bil posvečen vsem mučenim in ubitim v različnih lagerjih širom Rusije. Bogoslužje je vodil kardinal Kazimir Swiatek iz Belorusije, ki je bil tudi sam zaprt v Sibirijji in celo obsojen na smrt, pa je ostal živ. Po maši je bil na dvorišču stolnice blagoslovljen prostor, kamor so simbolično nasuli zemljo iz teh različnih lagerjev in pokrili s ploščami, kjer so imena teh krajev. Vse je lepo potekalo, edino mi udeleženci bi bili radi dobili v roke vsaj kratko vsebino predavanj, ki so bila podana na kongresu.
Sedaj sem pa tu v Severouralsku in že nekoliko prezebam. Bolj smrkam, ker je to prva ohladitev v letošnjem letu in se se nalezel nahoda. Včeraj zjutraj je bilo že pod ničlo. Namreč z mojim sobratom sva začela delati na obnovi stanovanja, kjer bomo imeli kapelo in župnijske prostore. Začela sva najprej z okni, ker so bila stekla razbita in je potrebno pred zimo vse zapreti, da ne bo zmrzovalo in bi tako uničilo ogrevanje. Tu je živel pijanček in njegovi “vodko-bratci”. Kar skozi okna so zahajali noter in tudi razbijali stekla. Ko je on umrl, je njegova sestra prodala kar tako stanovanje. Staro barvo strgava in žgeva ter na novo barvava. Tu tudi vleče veter in sem se nalezel prehlada.
Kip sv. Barbare, ki ga je naredil Marko Kavčič iz Šentjošta nad Horjulom v Sloveniji in ga je prinesel Tomaž Mavrič, sem pokazal našim vernikom in se jim zelo dopade. Kapelo bomo namreč posvetili sveti Barbari - zavetnici rudarjev. Pri nas je veliko rudnikov, predvsem boksita.
Še enkrat Bog povrni vsem in za vse, pa naj bo božji blagoslov vedno z Vami. Lep pozdrav vsem sodelavcem,
Vaš Lojze Letonja.”
Mati Marija prihaja med svoje otroke, ki so ji 'toliko let izkazovali svoje češčenje, seveda na tiho. Čakali, molili in prosili so svojo Bogorodico za te dneve, ki so nastopili. Ali si moremo misliti, koliko veselja je bilo združeno s tem Marijanskim kongresom, ko so lahko povedali o svojem fizičnem in duhovnem trpljenju v tistih hudih, groznih časih?
Misijonar g. Ernest Saksida nam je poslal svoje pismo iz Brazilije, in piše:
“Djaga gospa! Komaj sem dospel z dolge vožnje, ki je trajala; štiri mesece: moral sem obiskati dobrotnike in še druge dobiti, ker je nujno, ko so velike potrebe na Misijonu, kjer se vzgaja 3000 revnih otrok. Je to slovenski in veliki misijon, katerega sem ustanovil v letu 1961 podpisani Ernest Saksida. Z velikim veseljem sem prejel darilo, kot je bila želja pokojnega Franka, ki mi je veliko let pomagal in še v testamentu zapustil to važno pomoč. Lepo se tudi Vam zahvalim in prejemam kot pomoč Božje Previdnosti.
V prvih letih ustanovljenega misijona sem iskal dobrotnike tudi v Združenih državah. Težko delo. Malo sem jih dobil, ker je tam drugi sistem, vendar ostala sta le dva. Gospod Frank Staniša je dal najlepši zgled in nosil s seboj veliko dediščino, kar je dobrega naredil tem revnim otrokom.
Kmalu bo že 40 let, kar sem ustanovil ta misijon, leta 1967 pa sem pričel iskati botre za te otroke, ki ne potre-
bujejo samo materialno, ampak tudi duhovno pomoč. Od doma sem odšel 16-leten, zdaj pa sem že 80 let izpolnil in sem daroval svoje življenje za revne otroke in ustanovil mesto Don Boško. Več kot 20.000 revnih otrok smo rešili revščine in lahkote v teh štiridesetih letih.
Iskrena zahvala za ta lepi dar pokojnega Franka. Bog naj Vas vse varuje in sveta Terezika!
Ernest Saksida, misijonar.”
Pokojni Frank Staniša si je nabral kar lep šopek dobrih del, ko je na vse strani pomagal, in še na koncu dodal svojo željo. Tako je odšel z veliko vrečo na pot v večnost. Bog mu bodi najboljši plačnik za vse dobro!
Kar lep seznam dobrotnikov se je nabralo v tem mesecu:
N.N. (za bog. $300, njemu dar $20, Rev. P. Opeka $100, Rev. L. Letonja $100, Rev. T. Mavrič $100) $620; N. Tomc (za s. M. Pavlišič) $100; v spomin +Frank Smole (družina in prijatelji) $200; H.T. Ribič $50; N.N. $100; A.H. Gorše (za bog.) $350; N.N. (za Rev. A. Podgrajšek) $20; N.N. (za s. B. Kavčič $200, za Rev. Kosmač $200, za salezijance $200, za Rev. P. Opeka $200, za 5 sv. maš $50, za vse $650) $1500; J. Koren (za salezijance v Želim-Ijem) $500.
Dalje: I Kete (za s. Pavlišič $100, za s. V. Gerkman $100) $200; M.V. Vrhovnik $20; g.ga. Jože Lekan $200; Barbara Mrak $50; Mary Križman $105.
Vsem dobrotnikom se v imenu vseh, ki bodo prejeli pomoč, iskreno zahvaljujem. Naj bo Nebeški Plačnik tisti, ki vam bo dal svoje usmiljenje, posebno, ko boste prestopili ta prag življenja. Usmilimo se tudi vseh Vernih duš, ki še niso dovolj očiščene in še potrebujejo pomoč, da darujemo v njihovem imenu, kar bodo duše zelo hvaležne in tudi nam sprosile potrebnih milosti.	Marica Lavriša
