John Poindexter prevzel odgovornost 28 "ačrt o tajnem financiranju kontras — Reagana ni nikoli obvestil o tem WASHINGTON, D.C. — Adm. John °indexter, ki je bil Reaganov svetovalec za nacionalno varnost in kot tak vodil Nacionalni varnostni svet v Beli hiši, je priznal, da Je 0n sam prevzel nase odločitev o tajnem •nanciranju kontras v Nikaragvi z denar-0°?’ Pr'dobljenim pri prodaji orožja Iranu, oindexter je rekel polk.

Poindexter je namreč vedel, da je načrt Ve§an in da bi povzročil velike politične te-ave za Reagana, ako bi postal znan. Želel je . reJ> da bi lahko predsednik resnično in reno trdil, da o tem načrtu ni nič vedel in ni bil nikoli odobril.

Ljudje prispevajo s tem, da darujejo doma narejene preproge iz trstja (mats), ki jih potem prodam v mestu in z izkupičkom nakupim vse potrebno. Na ta način smo obnovili že tri cerkvice, trenutno obnavljamo farno cerkev, čakata pa še dve močno zanemarjeni podružnici in dve nekoliko manj. Treba bo pa tudi misliti na postavitev še ene v kraju, ki je zelo slikovit, a Bogu in ljudem za hrbtom. Bomo videli. Misijon sam letos praznuje 75-letnico svojega obstoja. O njegovi zgodovini bi se mogla napisati debela knjiga. Menda je ni misijonske metode, ki je nekdo ne bi tukaj preizkušal. In uspeh je temu primeren: zelo skromen. Pred 25 leti je bilo že skoraj vse prebivalstvo krščeno, a prakticira jih manj kot 10% in nova generacija spet odrašča v poganstvu. Ljudje se trdovratno držijo mnogoženstva in vsemogočih praznoverij (na primer čarovništva), a gospodarski napredek je temu primeren in zato revščina vse večja. Zelo negativen vpliv imajo tudi (prokomunistični) begunci iz sosednjega Mozambika, ki prinašajo sem čez vse mogoče barbarske navade. Naj končam. Lep pozdrav gdč.

I0, 17- julija 1987. Zveza Oltarnih društev v Clevelandu roma tudi letos k Mariji Pomagaj v Lemont številko 2. Omenja g. Jože Ko-peinig, da je MIVA odobrila šest prošenj za nabavo avtomobilov za naše misijonarje in gdč. Bariča Rous in o. Jože Grošelj bosta vsak svojega deležna. Sredi junija v Sinci vasi in koncem maja na Žihpoljah so ta vozila že blagoslovili. Istočasno objavlja imena vrste novomašnikov iz Indije, ki jih podpirajo rojaki na Koroškem in cele fare istotam. Novomašniki so iz mest Bangalore, Nalgonde, Varanasi in Kerala v Južni Indiji. MIVA je začela na Koroškem sedaj akcijo — kolesa za misijone — v pomoč domačim katehistom v misijonskih deželah. G. Kopeinig jo priporoča tudi rojakom in išče zanjo dobrotnike. »Mašniško posvečenje bogoslovcev, ki jih podpiramo, je vedno tudi za dobrotnike in misijonske prijatelje največje notranje zadoščenje. Pomagati mladim Cerkvam v Aziji in Afriki, da bodo imele zadosti domačih oznanjevalcev evangelija, je prav gotovo najsodčbnejši način učinkovito pomagati pri evangelizaciji sveta. Mlade Cerkve imajo dosti poklicev, le dostikrat premalo sredstev za študijske potrebe bogoslovcev in za vzdrževanje semenišč. Najbolj razveseljivo je dejstvo, da se misijonska misel med našimi verniki — predvsem tudi med mladino — vedno bolj širi. To najbolj jasno izpričuje neustavljivi razvoj akcije v podporo misijonskih bogoslovcev. Deliti in graditi občestvo svetovnega krščanskega bratstva — to je klic in nuja sedanjega trenutka!

Ura slovesa je davno odbila, težko ločitve spomin se budi, ljubezen do Tebe pa vedno je živa — v našem življenju kot lučka gori. Skupaj se sedaj raduješ v trajnem nebeškem veselju s svojimi starši in sestro, mi pa se Te spominjamo s svojimi dragimi v svojih molitvah. Tvoji vedno žalujoči: brata — Peter in Frank sestre — Helena, Marija in Ivana z družinami, ter ostali sorodniki v Ameriki in v Sloveniji. Cleveland, O., 17. julija 1987. CLEVELAND, O. - Z veseljem poročam, da so se nam pridružile članice Oltarnega društva fare sv. Lovrenca in tako bomo letos skupno romale na prelepo božjo pot k Mariji Pomagaj v Lemont članice od vseh štirih fara naše Zveze. Kličemo vam dobrodošle, drage članice iz sv. Lovrenca! Romanje se bo pričelo v soboto, 8. avgusta zjutraj. Čas prihaja, ko naše misli ponovno romajo k Mariji Pomagaj na prijazni hribček v Lemontu. Kakor nas je vsa dolga leta vabila naša Brezjanska Marija na Njeno sloven-sko-ameriško Brezje, tako nas tudi danes z vso ljubeznijo čaka, da se odzovemo povabilu. Kako zmagoslavno donijo lemontski zvonovi Marijinim daje, prejema — zvrhano mero notranjega zadovoljstva in veselja.« Tako v »Koroški Prilogi« Misijonskih obzorij modruje g. Kopeinig. »Katoliški Misijoni« so kmalu po povratku pisca teh člankov iz Kitajske in po prihodu na ta kontinent začeli objavljati izčrpna poročila o »Bogoslovski akciji« za vzdrževanje domačih bogoslovcev domačinske Cerkve v misijonskih deželah. Akcija se je porodila iz potreb časa in postaja ob spreminjanju okoliščin v misijonskih deželah vsako leto bolj važna misijonska akcija za pionirjenje oznanjevalcev veselega oznanila — Kristusovega evangelija v misijonskem svetu. G. Kopeinig je o tej akciji bral v KM in prosil kmalu po njenih začetkih za nekaj imen potrebnih bogoslovcev, ki so (dalje na str. 4) častilcem v pozdrav! Kako lepo donijo Marijine pesmi, ko so povezane v vence očena-šev in zdravamarij, ki globoko segajo v slovensko srce. Vse to se je godilo v preteklosti — godi se pa tudi danes, zato potrudimo se, da ostane naša božja pot vedno zarisana v naših srcih. Naj ostane navdušenje za to letno romanje iskreno in trdno, dokler nas bolezen ne dohiti. Ob tem poročanju je zaseden en avtobus, za drugega je pa še prostih nekaj sedežev. Želimo, da bi bilo zasedenih vseh 94 mest na obeh avtobusov. Tako se bomo skupno posvetili z našimi patri frančiškani Brezmadežnemu Srcu Marijinemu. Letos je Oltarno društvo sv. Vida določeno, da bo imelo čast Marijo kronati. To je tudi Marijino leto, ki ga je proglasil naš papež Janez Pavel II. Še prav posebno se moramo torej zavzeti za ta nebeški blagoslov. Sedaj pa o romanju samem. Cena za vožnjo, hrano in prenočišče je $78. Romanje se bo pričelo, kot rečeno, v soboto, 8. avgusta, zgodaj zjutraj, vrnile pa se bomo v ponedeljek, 10. avgusta, okrog šeste ure zjutraj. Avtobus bo pristal pri Sv. Lovrencu okoli 5.30 zj. 8. avgusta, pri Sv. Kristini ob 6.15 in pri Mariji Vnebovzeti ob 6.30. En avtobus bo pri Sv. Vidu ob 6.15 zjutraj. Ob 7. uri zjutraj se bo pričelo romanje od St. Clair Ave. proti Lemontu. Ako bi se radi temu romanju pridružile, pokličete 486-5156 za več informacije. Sklenem s pozdravom in željo na srečno in veselo poletje in na veselo snidenje! Mary Marinko Misijonska srečanja in pomenki (Nadaljevanje s sir. 3) jih začeli vzdrževati na Koroškem naši rojaki na njegovo priporočilo. Kmalu zatem nam je sporočil, da je našel preko Dunajske Propagande za Širjenje Vere stike s posameznimi misijonskimi škofi, ki so začeli dajati imena svojih potrebnih kandidatov in so iz Koroške pomoč zanje začeli razpošiljati preko Dunaja na teren. Silno razveseljivo dejstvo je, da je ta akcija na Koroškem postala silno privlačna in močna, ko so se posamezne fare začele obvezovati podpirati posamezne kandidate. Danes je akcija ustaljena in samo Bog ve, koliko dobrega bo še doprinesla k rasti mladih Cerkva v misijonih v letih pred nami. Božjo Previdnost moramo hvaliti za božji blagoslov nad vsemi, ki so se ji posvetili in se zanjo zavzeli. Pisec teh vrstic je o njej več let vestno in obširno poročal v »Katoliških misijonih«, dokler niso v Združenih Državah v Ameriški Domovini začeli objavljati tedensko »Misijonska srečanja in pomenki«. Če bo enkrat čas, bo mogoče iz ogromnega arhiva MZA vseh let od njenih početkov in še od let pred tem v sodelovanju in njenem poročanju v argentinskih K.M. pripraviti zanimivo tiskano poročilo o blagoslovu akcije za vzdrževanje domačih bogoslovcev. V Grobljah je bila^ustanov-ijena še v svobodni domovini »Mašna zveza«. Ljudje še danes v testament vnašajo vsote za sv. maše za pokoj njihovih duš, ko jih Bog pokliče v boljše življenje. Danes je jasno, da vsak, ki vzdržuje domačega bogoslovca in doživi njegovo posvečenje, lahko mirno računa, da bo ta duhovnik dnevno V BLAG SPOMIN OB 20.

Z vzdrževanjem si vsak nekako zagotovi mnogo molitev in spomina v vsaki sv. maši, ki je sama po sebi neskončne vrednosti. Blagor nam, če smo si to milost skušali z osebno žrtvijo v življenju zagotoviti. V MZA je značilno, da so že pred leti mimo mnogih posameznih družin in posameznikov tudi posamezni odseki MZA v Clevelandu, New Yor-ku, Milwaukeeju in drugod začeli vzdrževati svojega kandidata in je bilo že mnogo posvečenih. Zanimivo je tudi, da se je ob začetkih te akcije, ko sem misijonaril med rojaki v Torontu, javila vrsta dobrotnikov in dobrotnic za bogo-slovsko akcijo, kar je kasneje, ko ni bilo med nami več stalnega stika nekako popustilo. Res je, da Bog deluje z našimi rokami in je zgled dolgoletnih prizadevanj MZA v to smer in zgled koroških rojakov na pobudo g. Kopeiniga že dosedaj bogato blagoslovljen in bo gotovo pritegnil k sodelovanju v letih pred nami še mnogo rojakov. Bog daj! Rev.

Ob vizitaciji mu je rekel škof: »Jur, jur, v pokoj bo treba iti!« Verjetno je to rekel po nasvetu dekana. »V pokoj? ... Veš kaj, Tone, dokler ti lahko vodiš ljubljansko škofijo, bom tudi jaz mojo majhno kovorsko faro! »Imaš prav!« je rekel škof. Grešil sem...

V mojem srcu še živiš, in boš živel do konca mojih dni. Žalujočp žena Viki in ostalo sorodstvo v Sloveniji. sem vendarle imel dober namen iti v nedeljo k slovenski maši. Toda ko sem prišel na postajo, sem čakal najmanj 15 minut, da je prišel vlak. Nato je pa vozil tako počasi, da sem vedel, da bom prepozen, tudi če mi na postaji, kjer bom morali menjati vlak, ne bo treba čakati. Maše nisem hotel zamuditi in dati »kroničarju« Tonetu Osovniku priliko, da me ošteje v SD pred vso slovensko ameriško javnostjo. Odločil sem se, da grem k maši v katedralo. Prišel sem prezgodaj. Maša se je začela z zamudo in v cerkvi je bilo veliko turistov. Petje je bilo odlično, orgle so bile preglasne. Njihova naloga je, da spremljajo petje, ne pa da ga preglasujejo. A so ga! Solista pri glavnem oltarju, ki ima odličen glas, sem komaj slišal. Pridiga je bila dobra in kratka. Ker so nam na vratih dali besedilo in note vseh pesmi, ki so se kasneje pele, je z zborom na koru in z duhovniki pri oltarju pela vsa cerkev. Res nekaj lepega! Najlepše nas je pa še čakalo! Na koncu maše je svečenik pri oltarju omenil, da je bil prejšnji dan Dan neodvisnosti in da bomo zato na koncu vsi zapeli pesem »America the Beautiful«. In smo res peli! Pela je vsa cerkev. Po katedrali je donelo, da »so se okna tresla«. Bilo je prekrasno! Srca so se topila in solze so se iskrile v očeh. Tone, grešil sem, ker nisem prišel k slovenski maši, solze sem imel v očeh, ko sem se z drugimi verniki zahvaljeval Bogu, da nam je dal Ameriko.

Vidu bo praznoval 75-letnico obstoja oktobra letos in sicer s cerkvenim koncertom, kateremu bo sledilo snidenje s prijatelji in farani v avditoriju. Tekom let so se zborove vrste skrčile, zato potrebuje nekaj novih moči, izkušenih pevcev in pevk, tu posebno altistk, tenorjev in basov. »Lira« vabi svoje nekdanje pevce in pevke, da se jim pridružijo za to zgodovinsko praznovanje. Drugi izkušeni pevci in pevke so seveda tudi dobrodošli. Ako bi bili pripravljeni zboru pomagati za ta koncert, vljudno ste naprošeni, da se javite župnišču sv. Vida (tel. 361-1444). Vaje za oktobrski koncertni nastop se bodo pričele v bližnji bodočnosti. Več podrobnosti o koncertu in praznovanju bomo objavili pozneje. Dan P.

Music by Johnny Vadnal Orchestra. Correction For the record, the name of the first organist-director of the St. Vitus church was Matej L. Holmar. A composer of Slovenian hymns, he published several songbooks while he was in Cleveland. When his mother died here in Cleveland, Holmar decided to return to Slovenia in 1923. Members of Lira choir during his tenure at St. Vitus recall that Matej L. Holmar was a truly professinal and talented organist and director. Frankie Spetich of Barberton, Ohio will be honored for his exceptional effort over the past 50 years in th? field of music and most especially his promotion of the Slovenian-style polka and waltz. The honor and acompanying award will be presented by The Medina Area Chamber of Commerce at its “10th Annual Medina Oktoberfest” to be held September 18, 19, 20, 1987 at the fairgrounds in Medina, Ohio. Making the presentation will be Tony Petkovšek of Cleveland, Ohio: himself a well known radio personality providing ethnic music for the past 16 years. Born Frank Louis Spetich October 7, 1924 his first experience with a musical instrument involved an Albert System Clarinet in the third grade. During high school he participated in several school bands playing sax, trombone and clarinet and today there are not too many instruments Frankie can’t play. On entering the army in 1943 he had the opportunity to play with several armed services bands in England, Wales and France. While in Germany he married Lili, a Ukrainian girl and the marriage produced three children; Frank Leon, Judy Ann and Michael John. At present Frankie is single, never having re-married after his divorce. Following his 1946 army discharge he started a band named MELODY MAKERS and made melody from 1946 to 1949. In November 1949 he formed THE FRANKIE SPETICH ORCHESTRA which has been active ever since. Frankie has recorded 18 45RPM’s, 8 LPS and has three more awaiting release. Recording companies include Q-Cue, Spotlight, Pepperment and Marjon. Additionally, he played piano for a recording with Ted Zalac cut four country-westerns with A1 Barket in 1960, recorded two polkas for Walter Ostanek with an all-star band consisting of Joey Miskulin, A1 Markič, Joe Pianiki, Richard Ostanek and Norm Kobal. “Good musicians”, commented Frankie, “will help you sound your best!” His Television exposure includes appearances on the Johnny Vadnal Show, Stylecrest Show, and Polka Varieties. Certainly no stranger to Radio, Frankie had his own half-hour show from 1953 to 1958 over WCUE Akron, Ohio; occasionally filled in for Tony Petkovšek over FRANKIE SPETICH WXEN Cleveland in the early sixties; and in October 1982 began his hour-and-a-half “Slovenian Melodies” which is still aired today from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Sunday over WAUP FM Public Radio at Akron University. IN 1-957 Frankie opened his own music store and studio in Barberton, Ohio and taught brass, woodwind, piano, ac-cordian and diatonic button-box. The music store has been phased out, his studio is still open for students of all ages. He has given lessons to adults from California, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Mexico and many Ohio cities. The out-ofstaters will phone Frankie to advise they will be passing thru Ohio on a given date and ask for an appointment for a lesson or so. Frankie has hosted three tours to Europe in 1974, 1984 and 1987. One of his most humbling experiences occured in 1974. At the airport and later at the Union Hotel in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, an exceptional musician named Tone Buchan played the button box. From the sounds Tone was getting out of the instrument, Frankie thought he was playing a Chromatic. When he later learned from Tone himself that he was get- ting those sounds thru his mastery of the capabilities of his regular button-box and not a Chromatic, Frankie was understandably embarrased and confessed, “1 found out how little I knew about the button-box” Frankie knows now, however, and can generate sounds and effects out of a regular button-box that is the envy of many of his peers. Awards received by Frankie include a presentation at a July 4th picnic in Škofja Loka, Yugoslavia in 1974 recognizing him for four decades in Polka Service. More recently he was presented with an award for his “Slovenian Melodies” Radio Show over WAUP-FM Public Radio. * An example of Frankie’s faith in and service to the polka: when the TV stations cancelled the Polka shows in 1957 because they felt Polka was dead, Frankie hired three bands to put on a Jam Session for a program he called “A Slovene Weekend” which was held in the Slovene Center Ballroom in Barberton. Doubters told him he must be crazy to gamble on such a thing after the TV people pronounced the demise of polkas.

As General Office Manager under August and Maia Kollander, Tina started as secretary doing clerical work and has been known for her expertise in translating and keeping the books for the ever-busy travel bureau in addition to being an all-around agent. Martina Gazvoda Štepec was born in Brusnice, Slovenia and came to the US in 1949 when she was 15 years of age. She initially resided with an uncle in Gary, Indiana then came to settle in Cleveland’s St. Clair Slovenian community. On April 14, 1956 she married Tony Štepec, also an immigrant from Slovenia. They had three children: Son Tom and wife Maria with son Joey Son Ed and wife Mary with 3 children-Theresa, Michelle and Katelyn Daughter Sonja (also working at Kollanders) and husband Ed Mejac with 2 children-Eddie and Christina Tony and Tina Štepec reside on Brushview Drive in Richmond Heights. Tina has been active in Slovenian cultural groups including Singing Society Korotan and also performed in plays with the Dramatic Club Slovenski Oder. Her involvement at Kollander Travel goes back to the original office in the St. Clair Slovenian Home when she started in July of 1962. Over the years she has travelled extensively to many exotic destinations and also to her home in Slovenia. A reception was given in her honor at the Holiday Inn Wickliffe attended by her fellow workers and Mr. and Mrs. Kollander. It is hoped she will be able to continue for many more years to come.

Marie Selan, our Sunshine Girl, sent “get well” cards to Al Sinkovič, Mary Sintič, Josephine Sluga, Mary Ster, Cecelia Mršnik, and Harry Brule. Marie doesn’t like to miss anyone, so if you know of anyone who is sick, give Marie a call at 732-9172. To all our ailing members we wish you a speedy and complete recovery and hope to see you at our meetings soon. Rose Lewis who has taken over the planning of our day trips had another good one planned for July 2. (We hear the one in June added to her laurels.) The July trip was to the Amish country. Highlights of the trip was a visit to a flea market and an auction. Remember—just don’t move your hands at the auction or you may come home with a cow! Lunch was at a Chalet and sandwiched in will be visits to a bakery and a cheese factory. The day trip for August 11 will be to Kelley’s Island, South Bass Island, and Middle Bass Island. Our lucky winners this month .were Alice Somrack and Josephine Klein. We have had some excellent, knowledgeable speakers at our meetings, leaders in their respective fields. Informing us about the health problems of the elderly can calm a nagging fear we have or send us to seek medical aid. Tentatively we have another speaker scheduled for our August 5 meeting and the subject might be our “eyes.” Reporters: Helen Levstick and Eleanor Cerne Pavey. Medjugorje movies On Monday, July 27 Kollander World Travel will be showing movies of the reported appearances of the Blessed Mother in Medjugorje, Yugoslavia. The films will be shown at 7:30 p.m. at St. Mary’s Church Hall, 15519 Holmes Avenue. Fr. John Kumse will be hosting a trip from Sept. 30 to Oct. 7 or Oct. 14. Rev. Kumse is pastor of St. Mary Church in Collinwood. Cleveland's Worst Catastrophe Well, needless to say, the event went over great and was to be repeated annually thereafter until 1982.

I love the old Slovenian songs, especially the waltzes my parents John and Katarina played and sang. I like the big-band sound and some day I’d like to do some Slovenian tunes with a big band.” Frankie’s concluding comment, “I’ll always be grateful to the musicians who played with me, and people and promoters who kept the band a ‘going group’ for all these years. 1 feel the Good Lord has Blessed me.” Advance tickets at $4 (regular gate price $5) are available in the Cleveland area at: Tony’s Polka Village on East 185th St. Broadview Feed on Broadview Rd.

(The memorial donations from friends and relatives amount to $730.00.) IVe know that you and Jim devote countless hours to putting the paper together and we firmly believe that your efforts are responsible for the strong Slovenian community that we have in Cleveland. I don't think that enough people realize that the viability of the Slovene community is, to a very large degree, the outgrowth of the selfless advertising and promotional work that you do. 1 also want to personally donate $500.00 to American Home as a gesture of our family's support of your efforts. We were able to donate $295.00 to St. Mary's Church in Dad's name in designated Mass offerings and $350.00 in memorial contributions for a full scholarship to St. Mary's Grade School.

Immigrants Honored <» A resolution in the United States Congress to honor America’s immigrants, authored by Senator Dennis DeConcini (D-Ariz), and Congressman William O. Lipinski (D-Ill.), co-chairs of the DNC Ethnic Council, was signed into law on June 29. The resolution designates October 28, 1987, the 101st anniversary of the Statue of Liberty, as “National Immigrants Day.” “A symbol of freedom — a new beginning, was what the Statue of Liberty represented to millions of immigrants who sailed into New York on their journey in pursuit of a new life,” DeConcini said. “It is only fitting that on her anniversary we honor those she welcomed to our shores.” The Democratic Council on Ethnic Americans, comprised of Democratic elected and party officials-at the national and state level, is a self-funded organization within the Democratic Naitonal Committee. The Ethnic Council is dedicated to revitalizing the lines of communiation between the Democratic Party and all ethnic Americans.

Suhadolnik (R - Parma Heights), desinged to take the profit out of auto theft by tightening requirents for the re-sale of salvaged vehicles, was unaminously passed by both Houses of the Ohio Legislature. Under the bill, if an insurance company considers a motor vehicle economically imprac-tial to repair, the company would be permitted (but not required) to assign the title to a salvage dealer or scrap metal processing facility. In such a case, the insurance company then would be required to send the assigned title to the clerk of the court of common pleas of the county in which the salvage dealer or scrap metal processing facility is located, after marking the title, “For Destruction”. Finally, the company would be required to deliver a photocopy of the title to the salvage dealer or scrap metal processing facility for its records. The bill would prohibit any motor vehicle titled with a title marked “For Destruction” and surrendered to the clerk from being used for anything except parts and scrap metal. Roy G.
