How else could he explain the phenomenon of vanished homework? As a rule he completes his assignment in the afternoon right after he comes home from school, but the next morning he cannot find it. Two days later the paper was found in the corner of the front hall neatly folded into a small square. One of his homework ended up in the bathroom behind the waste paper basket, the outside of the paper smudged and dirty, edges Heyed. Some simply evaporated into thin air. Or that he had put a perfectly good ballpoint pen in his back pants’ pocket, and the next day the pocket and the Pants were stained with ink, tvith nothing but a tip and a spring left there, lodged in the seams of the material, the rest of the pen gone. “There are Gremlins in the house,” he said, all of eight years old and as serious as a judge. I said: “Sure, kid,” and sprayed his pants with Shout. Other items also began to disappear. I bought a new roll °f scotchtape to wrap a present for a baby shower, and before I had a chance to use it, h dropped out of sight.

Maybe you could use them as they are, you know, dry, and then brush some water over them. It would be a kind of magic marker-water-color,” I suggested. By then I began to have a slight feeling of apprehension worrying a pin-point hole in my heart. Some of the everyday silverware teaspoons disappeared from the kitchen along with the metal cookie cutter, the old wooden spoon, and the faithful prongs I used to use for taking baby bottles out of the boiling water. I missed those old prongs. They were the best prongs for flipping the steaks on the grill. Most of the stuff we never found again. Once I uncovered a spoon in the back yard dirt, and another in the soil of a flower pot behind the patio. The plant did not seem to mind the spoon at all. “Gremlins, huh?” I said to Mark one day. “How big are those critters?” “Oh, at least as big as an opossum,” he said. “Opossum? I should think they are at least as big as a dog.” “No way! If they’re as big as a dog you would see them, wouldn’t you?” He had a point there. I would certainly see something as big as a dog running around the house. “You see,” he explained, “they must be small enough to get into little places, like a pocket or a pencil case, but large enough to be able to carry things like spoons and magic markers.” “Not to mention screwdrivers,” I said. He looked at me surprised: “What screwdriver?” “Dad’s screwdriver.” “Oh,” he said. In the summer the gas valve to the barbeque grill fell off, and before my husband had a chance to fasten it back on, it became lost. Then the nozzle to the water hose disappeared. In the fall more spoons were gone and a wrench from the basement’s work table left the drawer. One morning Ana could not find her hair brush She afso misplaced her nail file, accusing Mark of pilfering, only to find it three days later right on the top of the dining room table. The small frame where she displayed her latest movie or rock-n-roll idol vanished from her room. Finally, the bulb in the lamp next to the couch mysteriously disappeared from its socket. If it was burned out, it was not in the garbage bag either. “This is getting to be a real problem,” I said. “Are you sure you didn’t take all those things?” I asked Mark. “Honestly, Mom!” “I better have a look in your room,” I proposed. Next day there was a new sign on Mark’s door. It said: IF you are MISSING something — IT is NOT HERE. A jar of hand cream left my room, and was found weeks later, empty. Half of the socks in the house became a permanent display on the clothesline in the basement. They had all lost their mates. Mark’s sister asked us to buy her a locker or a hope chest or something! As long as it has a lock. “When did these Gremlin move into our houseš” I asked our son. “They usually come for Halloween,” he clarified the situation, “and if they like the (Continued on page 2) Thanksgiving Mass for Slovenia Greater Clevelanders are invited to attend a Mass service in the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, E. 9th and Superior Avenue, Cleveland on Sunday, Nov. 8 at 2 p.m. It will be a day of thanksgiving for those of Slovenian descent living in northern Ohio. Coordinated by the Catholic parishes with those of Slovenian descent, the Mass will be concelebrated with the Most Rev. A. Edward Pevec, Vicar of the Eastern Region, Diocese of Cleveland, as the main celebrant and homilist. According to one of the organizers of the event, Father Joseph P. Boznar, pastor of St. Vitus, the Mass is a manner of expressing thanks for the independence and sovereignty of the Republic of Slovenia; and also for the absence of strife that has affected other former republics of ex-Yugoslavia. A combined choir from St. Mary’s and St. Vitus parishes plus singers 'from Slovenian singing groups Korotan and Fantje na Vasi will be part of the celebration. Parking will be available in the adjacent building by the cathedral. Participants having national costumes, referred to as “narodne noše” are encouraged to form in the courtyard by the cathedral. —Stane J. Kuhar Fr. John Kumse, pastor of St. Mary’s parish, welcomes Josephine Kremžar, teacher during the 1920s and 30s at St. Mary Scnool. (Photo by Helen Somrak) ‘Welcome back,’ “Welcome back to the old neighborhood.” St. Mary’s (Collinwood) held their second school reunion on Sunday, October 11 with Mass and dinner. Starting with the Mass, the celebrant was Rev. Francis Zagorc, who is also an alumni of the school. His sermon described his eight years there, recalling some good and bad experiences. As Mass ended, we headed for the Holmes Slovenian Home where we continued to meet our school friends, but for some it was more like returning to a neighborhood that hadn’t been seen for 30 or 40 years. Our dinner was delicious and as always at a function such as this, a program must follow. Thankfully, it was short, maybe 10 minutes. There was a presentation of the alumni officers. The pastor, Rev. John Kumse was presented with a $1,000 check for the school. Also the class of 1936 presented a check of over $150.00. James and Madeline Debevec, alumni and trustees of The Frances and Jane S. Lausche Foundation, presented a check for six $500 scholarships for a St. Mary parishioner attending grade, high school, college, or graduate school. Contact St. Mary’s parish for further information on obtaining one of the scholarships. As it was last year, some people came from out of state or a long distance from within the state to be with former says SMS alumni From left, James V. Debevec, president of the Frances and Jane S.

As it was getting late into the afternoon, guests were asking when are we going to have the next reunion. In closing the program, 220 alumni sang “Happy Birthday” to Fr. Kumse whose birthday was Oct. 14. Father didn’t have to expend much energy to blow out the one candle on his birthday cake. We all wish you many more. P.S. — Fr. Kumse is still having a drive to reach 1 mile of pennies to help the school. —Jennie Suln Schultz Publicity Secretary AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, OCTOBER 29, 1992 2 Whoever gets the most votes... may not be the winner Who will be the President of the United States in 1993? The old joke is: “The one with the most votes.” But that’s not necessarily accurate. In the 1960 race John F. Kennedy was elected president with 34,227,096 votes while Richard M. Nixon had 34,108,546, but Kennedy received 303 electoral votes to Nixon’s 219 and Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va) received 15 electoral votes. The popular vote was close, but the electoral vote was not. For some reason whoever received the most votes in each state gets the entire state’s votes. That doesn’t make sense. Never did. If candidate A gets 51% of the votes and candidate B gets 49%, all of that states electoral votes goes to candidate A while B gets zero even though almost half of the people voted for him. Presidential election laws should be changed to read: “Whoever gets the most votes — wins.” Period. —James V. Debevec Gremlins in the house (Continued from page 1) place they stay for a long time.” “They must really like our place,” I mussed. “And that would explain the empty Halloween candy bag last year. Nothing in it but empty wrappers.” “You noticed?” he asked surprised. He must have forgotten about the candy. “Of course I noticed. I had to go out and buy more candy. But this year I’m putting it under lock and key. No more candy for the Gremlins.” “Where?” “I’m not telling. I’ve a feeling that Gremlins can read your mind when you’re asleep. Do you think that’s how they know about things? They’d go after just about everything. “Could be,” he said thoughtfully. “Sometimes I can almost see them, you know.” “Really? Say, could you draw me a picture of one? This way, if I run into them - when they get careless or when they think they are alone in the house, - I will be able to recognize them.” He looked at me as if he was afraid I was losing my mind, “Are you serious?” “Of course I’m serious. Give me a good picture of one and I’ll catch it,” I told him with a laugh, but not too much of a laugh. At his age Mark’s parity teethered precariously on other people’s belief. He stared at me thoughtfully for a while, mulling things over in his head. “Alright,” he said. He worked on a picture for over a week, drawing and redrawing, correcting the face of the beast, the claws, and the tail, until he thought he had it. At that time Mark was the best little artist I had ever known. “Here,” he said one day and pushed a piece of paper in front of my eyes, too near for me to see anything. I moved the paper away from my face and looked at it. “But this is only a small — dragon!” I said. “It doesn’t look like a Gremlin. It’s too dragonish.” “Well, not really. You see the snout?” he explained. “It’s much shorter, and the body is not that long. And it has a hand like a hamster, but with longer claws. It’s our Gremlin alright.” “I’m glad to know. Now magnet it on the refrigerator door and when I’m alone in the house I’ll look for it.” “Now, mom, you don’t really think you would see it, do you?” he asked alarmed. And also, I thought, slightly annoyed. I was going just a little too far in his game. “Maybe I do and maybe I don’t. I do want to have that picture on the refrigerator door, though. Do you think it would recognize itself if he sees the picture?” He left me in the kitchen and did not speak to me all evening. Then just before going to bed he said: “I think the Gremlins are going to move out soon. Maybe even before Halloween. They are getting bored, I think.” “That’s fine with me,” I said. “I’m getting tired of missing things in this house. So, why don’t you tell them to hurry up and get going. It’s time for them to look in on some other children. Maybe someone younger, you know.” “O.K.” said Mark.

An Equal Opportunity Employer AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, OCTOBER 29, 1 992 Working relationship with Bush Editor: German Village, Columbus, O- — While some of my ethnic friends are still debating the issue of whom to support in the Novembr 3 Presidential election, my absentee ballot already counts for President George Bush. On election day, I will be traveling on a humanitarian aid mission to Eastern Europe. This Ohio mission will provide, just before winter, badly needed medical supplies and equipment for refugees and the needy in the war-torn regions of former Yugoslavia. The first shipment with 60-tons of supplies is scheduled to arrive in Hungary on Oct. 27. I, together with members of the mission, will be on hand to ensure that the supplies are delivered to the needy. The shipment represents major contributions from Ohio hospitals, health care providers and other volunteer organizations (including ethnic church groups), with the cooperation of the Ohio National Guard and the U.S. Department of Defense. Now, I am faced with a difficult and emotional task. Like a returning Pilgrim, I have to bring the American spirit to the places where American ways are still only dreams. I am following the path of many, who for the first time, are finally returning to their newly freed homelands. Outside of renewing close family relations, they are con- ducting business and making professional contacts. The people who made it happen are here in America, and are now showing people abroad how to do it. Free enterprise, private initiatives, building your own small business, and expanding markets is now, for the first time, being shown in the American way. Centralized governmental institutions are giving way to smaller businesses with a profit incentive. The process is working and it is good for the United States and Eastern Europe. Any isolationism, any changes to the progressive movement will kill those positive initiatives. In this process, we are all partners. Ohio’s ethnic communities are being energized and are now ready to participate. After all this time, we finally have established a good working relationship between the Governor of Ohio and the White House. The benefits for our ethnic communities are just starting. We have earned respect and attention. The relationship with President Bush and the Federal Government and Ohio’s ethnic communities are working and we can’t afford to lose it. The policies of our President were instrumental in bringing the downfall of Soviet communism and the liberation of Eastern Europe. His lifelong commitment to liberty and freedom has produced these benefits for our communities. Now, his policy and commitment to help people, to rebuild democracies and to An appeal to Vote for BUSH The Slovenes who emigrated to the USA during the last two centuries have helped in the development of this great Nation by contributing their talents, faith and hard work. They and their descendants still follow in this tradition and support the same principles of self-reliance, trustworthiness and family values. In selecting the next President of the USA, Americans of Slovene Heritage have the opportunity to choose the candidate who best reflects their own ideals and principles and who will be able to assure their realization. If you agree with President Bush’s policies of: Minimum government Maximum reliance on individual effort Balanced federal budget Line item veto No tax increases Reduction in the rate of growth of government spending Options in education Planned and steady improvement of the environment Stress on traditional family values Term limits for Congressmen Then vote for President Bush on November 3rd! The Slovene American Republican National Federation ^r- Ing. I. Hilary Rolih, Chairman Member, Executive Board National Republican Heritage Group Council Paid for by Slovene American Republican National Federation establish a long-lasting partnership with the new republics has to continue. Still fragile, new democracies and the beginnings of free market-oriented economic systems, need to grow stronger. We must continue the process. The world, and especially those of us who trace our roots to the countries of former totalitarian regimes, know better. We should never support the big socialist style of government. Never. We paid dearly for such mistakes in the past. We have the choice, let’s use it. We, together with small business groups in ethnic communities, are already discussing long-range economic development programs. A. B. Pust Special Assistant to Governor Voinovich A call for a Vote for BUSH We call on all Americans of Slovenian Heritage in the USA to remember that it was the long term policy of the Reagan and Bush Administrations towards the “Evil Empire” that won the Cold War and resulted in the demise of the Communist Party dictatorships in the Soviet Union and in all of Eastern Europe. When the recent wars of liberation started in the former Yugoslavia, the USA relied on the European Community to adopt an active role in negotiating an end to the conflicts. When this was not achieved, the USA had to intervene diplomatically to alleviate the human suffering and to help those nations that demonstrated their will for freedom and their respect for human rights. Slovenia demonstrated such will and courageously fought the ten day war in June-July 1991, winning its independence and with it recognition as a new member of the family of Nations. Slovenia also committed itself to the democratic principles in government and to the respect of the human rights of all its citizens. We Americans of Slovenian Heritage recognize the importance of these events and the vital role played by the Bush Administration. We, therefore, urge all our friends to reaffirm their trust in the winning foreign policy of this Administration and to vote for George Bush on November 3rd.

All 10 of my mom’s brothers and sisters and all their children would be there for grandma’s Sunday dinner (chicken soup has never tasted the same since). And oh the potica and shunka. Sometimes my mom’s Aunt Sophie and Uncle Tony’s family, the 104th St. cousins would join with our clan and the unspoken love and friendship playing with my cousins was a joy. The weddings at the Slovenian Home were something I always looked forward to with glee — dancing, intermingled with the adults, to Johnny Vadnal’s polka band was a real treat. The pillow dance was a great fascination to me. I am so grateful they invited children back then; today’s children aren’t so fortunate. My uncles, Ed and Marty Planisek went off to war — the whole clan was at the train station when they left and we were waiting there for them when they returned. As a young girl, 8 or 9 years old, I wrote faithfully to my uncles and when my beloved Uncle Marty died, my Aunt Ann gave me those “little girl” letters my uncle had saved for nearly 50 years. When my Uncle Iggy Tekancic died, his grandson, Andrew Zagar sang at the funeral at St. Lawrence as his beautiful voice filled the church. Memories came to me of all the weddings and funerals in that beloved place and I thought how proud my grandma and grandpa would be to hear Andrew, their descendant. My grandma did not speak English and I often wished I had been able to sit and talk with her — woman to woman. But our language was one without words — only love and when I would leave her house I would always say proudly the one word I felt I really knew and she would smile and laugh and reply, “Lahko noč.” (So long). Thanks to all my beloved Slovenian relatives for being so warm and thoughtful and teaching us “family values” NOTE: The former Joan Planisek is the wife of John J.

Others have skin, bone or joint infections. All are very ill. They are Dr. Margaret Gorensek’s babies. As the only infectious disease physician in Broward County (Florida) who specializes in children as well as adults, she treats the helpless young victims of society’s epidemics as well as indiscriminate disease. Although a few of these young patients come from normal families, the majority of their futures are shaped by drug abuse, prostitution and poverty. These children are the legacy of AIDS. “In Broward County, as many as one in every 50 women of childbearing age is now infected with the AIDS virus,” says Dr. Gorensek. “The risk that they will pass it along to their unborn babies is 30 to 40 percent. With today’s HIV testing methods, we often can’t identify those babies early enough to prevent the subse-Quent infections that overwhelm and kill them,” she explains. Despite her petite size and delicate appearance, Dr. Gorensek is a fighter undaunted by the enormous task she faces every day. Pediatricians from Plantation General, Coral Springs, Broward General and Holy Cross regularly call her for consultation on a wide variety of pediatric infectious disease cases. So every other morning, before she begins her scheduled day at Cleveland Clinic Florida, she goes where she is needed, sharing her expertise in infectious diseases to give children a fighting chance. Since moving to Broward County in 1988, Dr. Gorensek’s biggest concern has become the growing number of children infected with the HIV virus. But all children in the county at risk for HIV infection can now get excellent care through the new Comprehensive Pediatric AIDS Program at the Children’s Diagnostic and Treatment Center. Dr. Gorensek helps deliver that care. “Susan Widmayer, thi Center’s director, and staf Pediatrician Dr. John Wrigh are largely responsible for th< establishment of this com Prehensive program,” say: Dr. Gorensek. ‘‘Through fun jng from a variety of sources a babies and children at risl or the HIV virus can be iden 1 ’ed and followed on ; regular basis from birtl Whenever possible. , Unfortunately, many sue! ' dren come from familie: who are very poor and have no access to health care,” she continues. ‘‘This program also ensures that they will get the food, clothing, medicine, shelter and social services they and their families need.” Too often HIV-infected children are first diagnosed when they appear in the emergency room seriously ill with a disease commonly found in immunodeficient patients. About one quarter of those infected with the Pneumocysitis Carinii pneumonia, the most common infection seen in HIV patients, die within three months. “The big question is whether or not identifying HIV-infected babies earlier and starting them on medication to fight infection will help them live longer and improve their quality of life,” says Dr. Gorensek. “We’re now following more than 200 HIVpositive children at the Pediatric Immunology Clinic of the Children’s Pediatric AIDS Program. Many have been started on AZT and bac-trim to strengthen their immune systems and prevent the serious infections that lead to their deaths.” According to Dr. Gorensek, the problem of diagnosing HIV infection in babies is difficult because the standard tests cannot distinguish between the mother’s and baby’s antibodies until the baby is 18 months old. Therefore, many babies born to HIV-positive mothers are not identified as HIV-positive themselves early enough to start appropriate treatment. However, the good news is that new testing methods that measure viral proteins or genetic material can identify the HIV virus in a baby as young as three months of age. This sophisticated testing is only done at research laboratories such as The ----------- Al Koporc, Jr. Piano Technician (216) 481-1104 Imamo 10 dni vojna za Slovenijo , (Video Cassette) Igra 72 minut, Stane $30 plus tax $2.10 pošta $2 Imamo tudi Lepo Voščilno karto , ki igra novo Slovensko ' Himno stane $3.50, pošta $1.25 Tivoli Enterprises 6419 St. Clair Ave. (216) 431-5296 STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANIES HOME OFFICES: BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS TIMOTHY G.

Until this time comes, the best treatment is prevention. Therefore, we try to discourage HIV-positive women from having more babies. Meanwhile, Dr. Gorensek is helping these babies fight for their lives. Our readers will remember Dr. Margaret J. Gorensek as a vocalist with the Korotan choral ensemble and her father Frank A.

It was made in this sprawling Serbian industrial town, which proudly welcomes visitors to “the home of the Yugo.” But the sad fact is that the Yugo no longer has a home. Its plight may cause only mild surprise in the United States, where the car was offered for a sticker price of $3,999, but developed a reputation for shoddy construction and was withdrawn from the market this year after a splashy introduction in 1986 and sales of about 150,000 cars. But here, the Yugo really stood for something, like technological prowess, industrial accomplishment and social progress. The Yugo was viewed here as the Yugoslav Model T, putting ordinary families on the road and accounting for more than two-thirds of the domestic car market. Now, however, the Yugo factory has been left moribund by a combination of war, the breakup of the country and United Nations economic sanctions. With its paralyzed production line, on which incomplete auto bodies dangle sadly like gondolas on a ski-lift during the off-season, the plant presents a compelling image of the havoc, weakened by the splintering of the old Yugoslav federation. The Yugo, if it could be made, would now be a hybrid vehicle from several different countries. Before the Balkan war, most of the Yugo’s electrical parts came to this town 60 miles south of Belgrade from a factory in Nova Gorica, which is now in independent Slovenia.

Paid for by Friends of Virgil Brown, Jr., J. McCully, Treasurer, 3663 Lee Rd., Cleveland, OH 44120 Most of the car’s interior fittings were made in Split, now in independent Croatia. The company in Split was called Jugoplastika, but has since changed its name to Audgelovi-Slim to make it quite clear that it no longer has anything to do with Yugoslavia. The brakes, too, were a Croatian product, made in Varaždin. Some of the electrical parts for the engine came from Banja Luka, which is now in a Serb-held section of war-ravaged Bosnia and Herzegovna. As for the seat-belts, locks and mirrors, they came from Ohrid in Macedonia, which has also declared independence, but unlike the others has not yet been recognized by many nations. The rest of the car’s parts were made in what is left of Yugoslavia — Serbia and Montenegro. The breakup of the country inevitably crippled the Yugo because parts could not be obtained from new-born countries with which Serbia was at war. But scrambling to make substitute components for those parts no longer available and to import others from Poland, Italy and elsewhere, the plant managed to limp along in the first months of this year with production running at less than half its normal level of 220,000 autos a year. Then, on May 30, United Nations sanaions were imposed, severing Yugoslavia from world trade. This was the final blow for Zastava, in which the Italian auto company Fiat has a minority stake, and for the Yugo. Of 16,000 workers, 13,000 were immediately laid off. These idle workers have been receiving the equivalent of about $45 a month from Zastava. Those still working have been cleaning machinery. They have also managed in the last four months to complete 3,000 cars — equivalent to two and-a-half days production in normal circumstances. The plant which lost about $300 million so far this year, will close fully by the end of the year if Serbia’s current isolation holds. The general manager of Zastava, Kamenko Sretenovic, said “We are on the brink of complete collapse. This place is rapidly turning into a museum.” Korotan practice Korotan Singing Society begins its practice on Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Slovenian National Home on St. Clair Ave., at 7 p.m. Please come!

Patricia Zoltan, Treasurer. 2820 Jay Avenue. Cleveland. Ohio 441_i: The Predjama Castle Predjama Castle is located about 5 miles away from Postojna Caves in Slovenia. The origins of the castle probably date from the time of Charlemagne, no later than the early 13th century. The castle was built into the side of a steep cliff, inaccessible to intruders. The castle leads to a secret tunnel into the forest and was originally the ‘ief of the Aquileian patriarchs. In 1378 acquisition was pass-ed on to the Hapsburgs. In the second half of the 15th Gentry, the castle was owned by Erasmus Lueger, who fell into disgrace with Emperor rederic because of his regular stacks on the trade caravans. The Emperor issued an order that the robber baron be caught dead or alive. The Emperor took final offense when Erasmus stabbed one of the Emperor’s relatives during an argument at court. To escape the Emperor’s wrath, Erasmus fled to his Predjama Castle. The siege lasted a year, with Erasmus arrogantly provoking the attacking army by throwing pieces of roast oxen and cherries at them as they waited. The attackers thought they were starving Erasmus and his followers. But at a pre-arranged signal, a sergant placed a light at the spot where Erasmus walked every night before retiring. A stone projectile was catapulted over the wall and Erasmus was killed. Experience counts... Re-elect Judge JAMES J.

There are many serious implications concerning this issue. Who owns these properties now? Who will own them if the original owners are not, or do not want to be Slovenian citizens? The legislators should read some paperback books about real estate. They could learn how to own a piece of land, how to make a transaction, what a title is, and what an abstract is. In the United States, abstract means, “A written recorded history of property from the day it became part of the United States.” Slovenia wants to go back to democracy. Privatization should be first on the list. County officers should work faster to give back those pro- perties. The status quo properties are dead trees. Private ownership is the basis for sound economics in a free society. Why are you dragging your feet? Why the witch hunt on political refugees? Why arrogant investigations? We are not war criminals. This is our property. You confiscated it from us forty-five years ago. GIVE IT BACK! Frank A. Lukez Alliance, Ohio SCHULZ ENDORSED BY SLOVENIAN AMERICANS! SCHULZ IS FIGHTING FOR YOU! ...

Susel 6419 St. Clair Ave., Cleveland, O. 44103 Men, women retiring data A University of Miami study set out to explore some gender differences regarding early retirement. The Andrus Foundation-funded research was based on data collected on more than 7,000 40-to-64year-old men and women and was conducted by UM business professors Steven Ullmann, Ph.D., A1 Holtmann, Ph.D., and former UM sociology professor Charles Longino, Ph.D. Some of their findings: • While the numbers of working men and women 40-60 are nearly equal, three-fourths of early retirees are men. • Almost 50 percent of male early retirees continue to work as a means of increasing income. Fewer than 20 percent of women continue to work after retirement. • Being single significantly discourages early retirement for men, but not for women. ★ VOTE ★ DEMOCRAT nov. s Let’s Keep RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP in Lake County government. i#v NOW MORE THAN EVER, WE NEED JOHNPLATZ AS OUR LAKE COUNTY COMMISSIONER PUBLIC SERVICE Lake County Commissioner, 5 terms Wickliffe Councilman, 3 terms PROFESSIONAL • Professor of Political Science, Lakeland Community College, 25 years • Teacher, Eastlake North High school, 11 years • Education: ^ John Carroll University, B.S.S., M.A. ^ Cathedral Latin High school ^ Jennings Scholar • Family: John and Connie (Quinn) have five children and reside in wickliffe • Member: our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish; VFW; Blue Coats of Lake County • Veteran, U.S. Army JOHN PLATZ LAKE COUNTY COMMISSIONER Paid for by the Plata for commissioner Committee, Ron Nicholson, Treasurer, 839 Elmwood Dr. wickliffe, OH CUYAHOGA COUNTY TREASURER FRANCIS E.

Tax Escrow Account Management Program PROGRAM ■ In recent years inflation, low interest on savings and continually increasing tax millage have combined to increase the financial burden on taxpayers. As a first step in alleviating this problem, the T.E.A.M. Program was created to allow taxpayers to pay their real property taxes in monthly installments. In April, 1992 Treasurer Gaul worked with the State Legislature to help pass legislation that will allow a tax discount to be offered to the over 12,000 T.E.A.M. Program participants.

Vadnal is Ohio’s new court reporting speed champion. On Sept. 26, Vadnal, an official court reporter for Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, passed a three-part speed test with better than 95% accuracy, netting her the Ohio Cup of the Ohio Court Reporters Association. Vadnal, a court reporter for 14 years, said she was floored to learn she had taken the title. She said she entered the annual contest “on a whim,” with the hope of scoring just well enough to earn some professional continuing-education points. She said that when she first started as a court reporter, she was often called out to accident scenes to take down the statements of witnesses. “I’d get calls at 2 a.m. — “Meet me on the turnpike at mile marker such-and-such,” she recalled. On her first job, she sat on a guardrail taking notes at a truck accident. “I thought to myself, ‘This is crazy. I can’t believe I’m doing this.’ ” After more than 10 years as a free-lance reporter, Vadnal landed her dream job 3-1/3 years ago with Common Pleas Court. She said she loved the variety and the chance to hear both sides of a case. “The criminal world is really an eye-opener,” she said. “You know there’s a lot of violence in the city, but it becomes more real when you’re 10 feet from the defendant or you hear someone describe how a murder was committed.” Ullysses Torassa The Plain Dealer Benefit dance The Slovenian Cultural Center in Lemont, Illinois will be the recipient of a benefit dance in Joliet, Illinois on November 7 at St. Joseph Park, Theodore and Raynor St. It is sponsored by the St. Joseph Holy Name Society.
