ROKOV The Brit in Bratislava and Life in Slovakia As with many ex-pats, first impressions of this country were mixed, to use the term loosely. An Eastern Europe Twilight Zone, was the phrase that first came to mind as I touched down at midnight in Bratislava airport. I was not greeted with Starbucks or McDonalds, but a dark arrival lounge with an instant coffee machine and some questionable looking taxi drivers, just waiting to charge extortionate fares to the poor naive tourists and drunken stag parties that wobbled through arrivals after a few too many beers on the plane. Continued on page 8 Joseph Cincik The Renaissance Man May 20, 2012 Canadian Slovak League Len nebyť doma prorokom Chválili sme sa právom my, chválili sa aj iní. Veď každý bol hrdý na svojich velikánov, ktorých chcel predstaviť svetu.bolo to však dávno - pradávno. Karta sa otočila a niekto, kto videl o kúsok dopredu, eventuálne vedel viac ako jeho učiteľ z prvej ľudovej sa stal malým nepriateľom, ktorému sa začalo závidieť, alebo bol nepohodlný a preto ho bolo treba odstaviť na vedľajšiu koľaj.keď pred dvadsiatimi a čosi rokmi niekto začal tvrdiť, že na Slovensku hneď po rozstrihnutí ostnatého drôtu nastáva demokracia, tak buď bol naivný snilko, alebo snívajúci podvodník, čo by sa dalo preložiť, aj ako reprezentant predchádzajúceho režimu.z odstupom času aj domáci začínajú vidieť, že inak to nemohlo ani byť, lebo ak by ktosi nepresvedčil národ o tom, že má byť milosrdný a demokratický, tak by sa pod predstaviteľmi červených hviezd prehýbali kanderáble, alebo aspoň napĺňali väznice.povedalo sa však, že treba odpúšťať a neotáčať sa dozadu a dobrosrdečný národ tomu uveril. Potichu na ulici obchádzal tých, ktorí ho vyhadzovali zo škôl či aj hlavu sklonil pred vyšetrovateľom z Leopoldovskej mučiarne. A tí s hviezdou si mädlili ruky, lebo sa im podarilo ovečky dobrovoľne nahnať do košiara. To, že na Slovensko prišli aj takí, ktorí nadobudli povesť svetového razenia bolo síce sprvu vhodná reklama, ktorá potvrdzovala, že Slovensko plne vkročilo na cestu slobody. Prišli znalci politológie, historici, slovakofili, vedátori, pred ktorých vedomosťami sa vo svete dával klobúk dolu.bol to akoby príchod novej jari, otvorené okná do nového sveta. Zabudlo sa však, že predchádzajúci vládcovia či ich tisíce ochranárov z tajnej polície sa nemohli len tak z ničoho nič vypariť. Boli organizovaní, vedeli sa pretvarovať a nenápadne odstraňovať domácich prorokov, ktorí iba hlásali vedomosti nadobudnuté po desaťročia na druhej strane hraníc.ktorýsi vydal dejiny čo neklamali a boli podložené faktami. Ešte ich žiaci nestačili poriadne ani otvoriť a šedé mocnosti Slovenska ich dokázali zlikvidovať. Iní prebádal vojnové archívy, povyberak dôkazy a tie samé tiene ho nepustili k slovu. Architekti, návrhári mostov či unikátnych stavieb boli slušne vypoklonkovaní a ten ktosi vždy včas vytiahol z rukáva perfektne pripravený dôvod... Na oplátku hodili davu lacný tovar z tretieho sveta a americký program zábavy, ktorý nemal s Amerikou nič spoločné. Chrámy Božie začali navštevovať včerajší preklínači viery a pohoniči veriacich. O deň o dva to však boli oni, ktorí sa snažili zdiskreditovať mužov s bielym rímskym golierom.na Slovensku sa začalo vyplácať byť tichým členom v dave. Lebo ten kto prišiel s knihou vedomostí a znalostí sa stal prorokom, ktorého mohol uznať svet, ale domáci ho odsunuli do tmavého kúta.niektorí sa vzdali, nevydržali. Iní držali svetlo znania či národnej hrdosti pevne naďalej.ak raz medzi národom nebudú, potom sa možno, ale iba možno národ spamätá. Pred okolitým svetom bude môcť hanbou skláňať hlavu, ale ak si neuvedomí, že šedé tiene ho vedú na retiazke, stane sa opäť zvieratkom, ktoré ktosi bude potláčať na bitúnok národa. Julo Behul

3 Kanadský Slovák -5. máj 2012 strana 3 Veľvyslanectvo Slovenskej republiky - Ottawa Na základe nariadenie ES č. 2252/2004 o normách pre bezpečnostné znaky a biometriu v pasoch a cestovných dokladoch vydávaných členskými štátmi EÚ v znení nariadenia ES č. 444/2009 bude Slovenská republika od 26. júna 2012 vydávať už iba individuálne cestovné doklady. S platnosťou od uvedeného dátumu nebude môcť vykonávať zápisy detí mladších ako 5 rokov do cestovných pasov rodičov občanov Slovenskej republiky. Príslušné orgány SR ale budú aj po 26. júni 2012 uznávať zápisy detí do pasov občanov SR ako aj pasov cudzích štátnych príslušníkov v prípade, že bol zápis dieťaťa do pasu vykonaný do 26. júna Takto zapísaným deťom v pasoch rodičov umožní Slovenská republika a niektoré ďalšie členské štáty EÚ prekračovanie úsekov vonkajších hraníc ako aj pobyt na území SR a v iných členských krajinách EÚ. Napriek hore uvedenému odporúča ZÚ Slovenskej republiky v Ottawe rodičom, ktorí plánujú po 26. júni 2012 cestovať na slovenské cestovné doklady spolu so svojimi deťmi na Slovensko s pristátím v iných členských krajinách EÚ, aby požiadali o vydanie vlastných cestovných pasov pre deti. Dôvodom je skutočnosť, že niektoré členské krajiny EÚ ako Česká republika, Taliansko, Holandsko či Litva majú v úmysle od 26. júna 2012 neuznávať zápisy detí v cestovnom doklade rodiča - čiže budú striktne vyžadovať, aby bolo každé dieťa, bez ohľadu na vek, držiteľom vlastného cestovného pasu. Slovenskí občania sa tak môžu stretnúť so závažnými problémami najmä pri prekračovaní vonkajších schengenských hraníc v niektorých iných členských štátoch, ak nebudú mať aj ich deti mladšie ako 5 rokov vlastné cestovné doklady. 7. zbor - klub - Kanadskej Slovenskej Ligy v Toronte v spolupráci s Veľvyslanectvom Slovenskej republiky v Ottawe usporiada dňa 20. mája 2012 o 1:00 hodine odpoludnia na 259 Traders Blvd. Unit 6 Mississauga výstavu Jozef Cincik - renesančný človek, ktorá bola v roku 2009 z príležitosti storočnice narodenia J. g. Cincíka vytvorená Slovenskou národnou knižnicou v spolupráci s Maticou slovenskou, mestom Martin a Úradom pre Slovákov žijúcich v zahraničí. Výstava mapuje život a dielo J.g. Cincíka nielen ako maliara, ale komplexne, keďže Cincík bol všestranne nadaný (maliar, vitrážista, architekt, navrhovateľ známok a pod.). Jeho dielo je vsadené do kontextu doby (napr. činnosť v čase prvej ČSR, spolupráca s M. Benkom, K. Sokolom, časopisom Kocúr, obdobie matičiarstva, dielo v čase prvej SR , emigrácia a exil). Výstavou si tento rok súčasne pripomíname i dvadsiate výročie jeho úmrtia. Otvorenie výstavy poctí svojou návštevou veľvyslanec Slovenskej republiky v Kanade J.E. Milan Kollár, ktorý pri tejto príležitosti odovzdá Kanadskému Slováku - Kanadskej Slovenskej lige - z príležitosti 70. výročia vydávania Kanadského Slováka zlatú medailu Ministerstva zahraničných vecí Slovenskej republiky. Na otvorení výstavy sa zúčastní i predsedníčka KSL Mary Ann Doucette a ďalší hostia. Branch 7 of the Canadian Slovak League in Toronto, 259 Traders Blvd. Unit 6 Mississauga in cooperation with and under the auspices of the Slovak Embassy in Ottawa, presents on Sunday, May 20, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. in the 259 Traders Blvd Unit 6 Missisasauga an important exhibition Joseph Cincik The Renaissance Man Zom č e rep Gum 26.0 Zdr SITA Vo 201 zom srdc vzp fun Gum Koš pop sa n Číta ces that was created in 2009 on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of J. G. Cincik by the Slovak National Library in cooperation with Matica Slovenska, the City of Martin, and the Office for the Slovaks Living Abroad. The exhibition charts the life and work of J. G. Cincík not only as a famous painter, but in a complex picture, since the versatile Cincík was also a windowpane designer, architect, and a designer of stamps. His work is embedded into the context of time (e.g., activities during the first Czecho Slovak Republic, his collaboration with M. Benko, K. Sokol, magazine Kocúr, the period of matičiarstva, work during the time of the first SR , and his emigration and exile).the exhibition at the same time commemorates the twentieth anniversary of his death. The Ambassador of the Slovak Republic in Canada, H.E. Milan Kollár will open the exhibition and will also present the Gold Medal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Slovak Republic bestowed upon Kanadský Slovák The Canadian Slovak and the Canadian Slovak League on the 70th anniversary of the newspaper s publication. The opening ceremony will be also attended by the President of the Canadian Slovak League, Mary Ann Doucette and other guests.

4 Kanadský Slovák 5.máj 2012 strana 4 Na dne... S chlebom naším každodenným sme si zvykli príjmať skoro denné informácie o vraždách či iných podlostiach a pochopiteľne, že v duchu odsúdime tento vred na tele spoločnosti...no žiaľ s oznamom nasledujúcej podobnej správy na predošlú zabudneme. Výnimky tvorí udalosť, o ktorej sa rozpráva a píše denne. Pochopiteľne že v takomto prípade si aj meno plne pamätáme. Ako to, že človeka, ktorý síce spáchal tresný čin hodíme za hlavu a masového vraha, vrchol zla, by sme rozoznali aj v dave. Mená vyvrheľov ľudskej spoločnosti nám médiá denne podstrkujú popod nos, pridávajú ich podrobný životopis a to takou formou, že ich nedajbože začneme ľutovať. Skoro tak ako ich obhajcovia. Hoci sa to vytrháva z vyšliapaných humánnych ciest, nebolo by správnejšie, aby sme tejto spodine nevenovali ani najmenší kútik našej mysle? A tu je asi pes zakopaný. Ktosi...Nie, nie ktosi, ale sudcovia, obhájcovia, takzvaný ochráncovia takzvaných ľudských práv a im podobní nedovolia nám na tento odpad ľudskej spoločnosti zabudnúť. V Nórsku Anders Breivik pokojne a chladnokrvne zavraždil desiatky ľudí. Na súdny proces príchádza upravený, skoro podľa protokolu. Nenápadný a pokojný úsmev šokuje novinárov a tí, ktorí jeho beštiálne zabíjanie prežili dostávajú nervové záchvaty. Breivik nemení výzor, Breivik má pokojný hlas a chváli sa tým, že dostáva denne niekoľko mechov listov, v ktorých ho vo väčšine obdivujú... Medzitým sa v tlači uverejnia fotografie z jeho pohodlného väzenia a dokonca jedálný lístok. Ako sme my ľudia dokázali takto nízko padnúť! Kde je vlastne dno podlosti a zvrátenosti? Breivik podrobne opisuje svoju krvavú hru, ktosi v sieni zamdlieva a sudcovia a prísediaci v talároch sediac sa pokojne dívajú na tvár vraha, akoby pozerali lacný film v televízii. Breivik kľudne vyhlasuje, že je nevinný a dookola opakuje, Ako hlboko môže padnúť ľudská dôstojnosť? A vlastne jestvuje ešte, alebo radšej spáchala samovraždu? že to čo spravil by spravil odznova. Chráň nás Boh, aby sme niekomu želali podobné ukončenie života, ako učinil on s pokojom robota. Ale akosi niečo podobné, hoci nie v skutočnosti, ale aspoň v mysli, by mnohí z nás chceli dopriať tým, ktorí naťahujú a ešte dlho budú naťahovať jednanie s týmto vrahom. Dokázali by si predstaviť, že by im zavraždil ich deti, či kohosi najbližšieho? Mohli by potom sedieť tak pokojne ako sedia v súdnej sieni po tieto dni a s bezvýraznou tvárou po vypočutí hrôz odchádzať na dobrý obed? Breivika strážia vo dne i v noci ako oko v hlave. Nedajbože aby mu ktosi chcel čo i len skryviť vlas na hlave. Tí za stenami súdu, doma roniaci potoky sĺz prežívajú muky. Proces sa naťahuje, lebo veď obrovské sumy ktoré Nórsko vypláca za toto podlé divadlo nepália. A na peniazoch rovnako nevidieť ani krv, ani slzy. A nepočuť z nich výkriky ranených a zomierajúcich. Breivik sa nielen priznáva, ale sa svojim činom vychvaľuje. Sudcovia mlčia a počúvajú jeho dlhé, sadistické reči. Neprerušujú, iba kde tu, keď niekomu príde zle a musia ho vyniesť von. Ako hlboko sme padli. A vlastne pokiaľ sa ešte dá padať? Akoby zomrela odvaha povedať pravdu do očí sveta. Pravdu o tom, že s podobnou špinou sa ľudia nemajú zapodievať, ale ju zmiesť z povrchu zeme. Koľko je na svete podobných Breivikov? V Kanade, ale i na Slovensku. Veď niektoré zo súdnych slovenských rozsudkov sú výsmechom každému, čo i len polonormálnemu človeku. Odďalovanie procesov, nahlúple úsmevy obhajcov ktorým neprekáža, že ľud im vidi do karát. Kde sa podeli románový hrdinovia, ktorí by podobné zvrhlosti riešili rýchlo a bez dlhých jednaní? Svet sa dobrovoľne zbavuje jednoduchej ľudskej spravodlivosti a zdravému úsudku. Breivik prichádza na pojednávanie vo vyžehlenom obleku. Kto mu ho asi žehlil? Je skoro isté, že nie sám. Uvedomili si to tí čo mu posluhujú, že 77 mŕtvych im hľadí na ruky? V ich očiach to asi nie je podstatné. Lebo podľa ních je tiež človek. Podobné výroky vyhlasujú všetci čo pripravujú a naťahujú túto čiernu drámu. Je v týchto showmanoch aspoň kúsok ľudského svedomia? Alebo takto príkro na podanú otázku sa ich každý bojí spýtať? Ako hlboko môže padnúť ľudská dôstojnosť? A vlastne jestvuje ešte, alebo radšej spáchala samovraždu? jb Keď vyšla NHL 2001, všetci sme chceli hrať za St. Louis. Niežeby bluesmeni mali najkrajšie dresy alebo boli čerstvým držiteľom Stanley Cupu. Ale mohli ste v ňom mať celý slovenský útok bez toho, aby ste museli trejdovať čo i len jediného hráča. Keďže éru bratov Šťastných v Quebecu Nordiques moja generácia hokejových fanatikov už nestihla, užívali sme si úspechy Slovak Pack, ako v zámorí Handzušovej lajne s Bartečkom a Demitrom na krídlach hovorili, so všetkým, čo k tomu patrilo. Pri spomienke na tie časy mi stále preblesne pred očami farebná obrazovka teletextu, kde sme hneď ráno zisťovali, koľko bodov si ktorý z hráčov v noci uchmatol. Pavol Demitra mával zväčša navrch. Tí, ktorí vedia, aké to je vstávať o druhej v noci pre prenos z NHL, určite potvrdia, že pre zápasy St. Louis sa to vždy oplatilo. Sledovať Demitru bolo vzrušujúce. Pôsobil, akoby mal na ľade nejaké poslanie. Vyzeral vážne, pred buly sa vždy dvakrát obzrel za seba, ako keď veliteľ pred bitkou kontroluje, či má vojakov na pozíciách. Jeho štýl korčuľovania bol nenapodobiteľný. Mal dlhý sklz, neuveriteľnú stabilitu a občas to vyzeralo, akoby ani nemal chuť obrancom unikať. Puk si vedel pokryť SPOMIENKA Prečo sme hrali za St. Louis Blues tak, že nepotreboval byť mimo dosah súperových hokejok. Keď som hral prvý zápas na naozajstnom klzisku v naozajstnej výstroji pred skutočnými divákmi, pri buly som imitoval práve Demitrov rituál. Ešte krajšie sa vedel tešiť z gólov. Roztiahol ruky ako na kríži a opojne, korčuľujúc dozadu, si užíval ten pocit, ktorý pozná len ten, kto pred stovkami párov očí niekedy trafil sieťku za chrbtom brankára. Jeden zo životných zápasov zohral 29. novembra 2000 v drese St. Louis Blues proti Torontu. Ešte 15 minút a 10 sekúnd pred koncom prehrával jeho tím 0:5. Keď vyšťavení hráči odchádzali po záverečnom klaksóne do šatní, na ukazovateli skóre svietilo 6:5 pre bluesmenov. O všetkom rozhodol v predĺžení Jochen Hecht. A skúste trikrát hádať, kto mu na víťaznú trefu prihrával. Hráča svetového formátu z neho robili práve jeho asistencie. Demitra mal to, čo sa v tréningu naučiť nedá. Schopnosť pustiť puk z čepele tak, aby stihol spoluhráča v okamihu, keď mu na gól neostáva nič iné, iba sa ho dotknúť. Občas to vyzeralo, akoby to robil poslepiačky. Takéto periférne videnie mali zo Slovákov azda len Peter Šťastný a Igor Liba. Demitra bol prvý od Calderovej trofeje pre Šťastného, ktorý opäť priniesol slovenské meno na štítok jedného z profiligových ocenení. Zrejme nemohol dostať nič iné, čo by vystihovalo jeho šesťdesiat minút na ľade lepšie, ako Lady Byng Trophy. Cenu za džentlmenstvo. Na slávnostnom ceremoniáli v Toronte ju musel zaňho v roku 2000 prevziať tréner Quenneville. Je to trpká irónia osudu, ale Demitrovi zabránili prevziať si azda najväčšie ocenenie kariéry problémy s leteckou dopravou. Spolu s otcom mali letieť z Viedne do Toronta s prestupom v Londýne. Michal Handzuš, ktorý bol nominovaný na Selke Trophy, mal letieť s mamou a sestrou tým istým lietadlom. Vo Viedni však všetci zistili, že im chýbajú britské tranzitné víza. Na letisko sa vrátili ráno, už aj s potrebnými dokladmi. Vtedy Demitrovi zabránil do lietadla nastúpiť počítač, ktorý evidoval len lístky pre Handzušovcov. Demitra tak hviezdnu chvíľu nestihol. Keď prišla smutná správa z Ruska, chcel som veriť, že Pavol Demitra na palube nebol. Že počítače využili šancu, aby sa mu za pokazený deň revanšovali. Že ho tak, ako vtedy, nenechali nastúpiť. Ale technika Lady Byng Trophy nikdy nedostane. Myslím, že (nedávno) veľa chalanov oprášilo cédečka, na ktorých majú fixou načmárané A že vo veľa izbách v ten večer z reproduktorov počítačov znelo: Bar-tekou. Hen-tsush to Demitra, he shoots and scores! What a goal by Pavol Demitra! Tomáš Hudák Kumšt Slovensko SR planetárium nové Kolonica POX V areáli Astronomického observatória za obcou Kolonica v okrese Snina uviedli do prevádzky nové planetárium. Náklady na výstavbu a vybavenie tohto zariadenia, ktoré bude slúžiť na vzdelávanie a popularizáciu astronómie, dosiahli vyše eur. Výstavba planetária z prostriedkov Európskej únie je hlavným výstupom tri roky trvajúceho cezhraničného projektu, na ktorom sa podieľalo viacero poľských a slovenských partnerov. Jedným z nich bola aj Vihorlatská hvezdáreň v Humennom. Astronomické observatórium na Kolonickom sedle je jej vysunutým pracoviskom. "Projekt práve končí a my môžeme začať fungovať naplno. Planetárium spolu s observatóriom ponúkneme verejnosti," uviedol dnes na Kolonickom sedle riaditeľ Vihorlatskej hvezdárne Igor Kudzej. Ako dodal, astronomické observatórium je tak pripravené pracovať na troch základných pilieroch.

5 Slováci učia Indonéziu pestovať pšenicu Pšenicu do Indonézie dovážajú, a preto si potraviny z nej nemôže dovoliť každý. Krajina chce postupne dosiahnuť schopnosť dorábať si túto plodinu samostatne. Päť študentov z Indonézie pôsobí v týchto dňoch na S l o v e n s k e j p o ľ n o h o s p o d á r s k e j univerzite v Nitre. Počas trojmesačného programu z nich slovenskí experti spravia odborníkov na pestovanie pšenice. To, čo sa u nás naučia, zúžitkujú Indonézania doma. V štvrtej najväčšej krajine sveta s takmer 240 miliónmi obyvateľov je doteraz najpopulárnejšou potravinou ryža. Mladí ľudia si ale vplyvom globalizácie čoraz viac obľúbili produkty z pšenice chlieb, pizzu, cestoviny či croissanty. A tu naráža Indonézia na problém, ktorý jej pomôžu riešiť slovenskí experti krajina si vzhľadom na tropické podnebie pšenicu dopestovať zatiaľ sama nevie. Jedlá z pšenice sú cool Indonézsky veľvyslanec na Slovensku Harsha E. Joesoef aj rektor S l o v e n s k e j poľnohospodárskej univerzity v Nitre Peter Bielik tvrdia, že zvyky mladých Indonézanov sa menia. Na základe dopytu od ľudí po potravinách z pšenice preto miestna vláda zvažuje, ako zareagovať na požiadavky ľudí. Hoci máme ryžu k o n z u m u j ú c i c h obyvateľov, s modernizáciou krajiny čoraz viac ľudí uprednostňuje potraviny z pšenice. Súvisí to aj s tým, že niektorí Indonézania bohatnú a môžu si dovoliť míňať peniaze na takéto potraviny, povedal veľvyslanec. Narážal tým na fakt, že potraviny z pšenice sú v Indonézii drahšie ako tradičné jedlá, pretože túto plodinu musí ostrovná krajina dovážať. Navyše, na rozdiel od klasických jedál je konzumovanie rezancov, cestovín či croissantov cool, vyhlásil Harsha E. Joesoef. Indonézia preto naviazala spoluprácu s nitrianskou univerzitou aj zvolenskou firmou. Skupiny indonézskych študentov sa k nám budú chodiť učiť, ako pšenicu pestovať. Už teraz je na SPU päť indonézskych študentov. Budú sa tu školiť tri mesiace a po nich príde ďalšia skupina. Sme veľmi vďační za túto príležitosť. Radi by sme postupne dospeli k tomu, aby sme si aj u nás doma vedeli dopestovať pšenicu, povedala 34- ročná študentka Nurwanita Ekasari Putri. Zaujímavosťou je, že až štyri z piatich študentov z Indonézie sú ženy. Ich úlohou bude hlavne porovnať podmienky pestovania v dvoch odlišných krajinách. Pre indonézskych študentov pripravila p o ľ n o h o s p o d á r s k a univerzita špeciálny trojmesačný modul. Všetky predmety budú mať v angličtine. Po odchode súčasných študentov by mali na Slovensko prísť ďalšie skupiny Indonézanov. SME Sen Hovorí sa, že nádej zomiera posledná. Je tiež otázne, či vlastne zomiera. Lebo stáva sa, že čakanie prináša ruže a nakoniec, hoci nie vždy, prichádza víťazstvo, či splnenie túžob. Je však isté, že hoci by zvíťazil aj neúspech, hoci by sa čakajúci nedožil splneniu svojich túžob, aj tak sa oplatí prežívať sny s ovorenými očami. Nedávno som obdržal list s fotografiami mladých mužov, ktorí tak ako tisíce ďalších dúfali, že sa vrátia - domov. Sú na nich prvý povojnový utečenci v nemeckom tábore Válka. V marci 1951 si pripomínali výročie Kanadský Slovák - 5. máj 2012 strana 5 vzniku Slovenského štátu, v apríli smrť svojho prvého prezidenta. Pochodovali po tábore skromne, ale čisto oblečení s trikolórou na rukávoch, niektorí vo vojenských uniformách v ktorých sa im podarilo z armády utiecť... všetci však s jedným snom, túžbou o opätovnom znovuvzniknutí samostatného štátu a tým i nádeji návratu. Mnohí - premnohí sa svojho sna nedožili. Ale i tak ich sprevádzala nádej. A to bola hnacia sila do prvých najťažších rokov v emigrácii. To ich viedlo i k tomu, že z minimálnych finančných príjmov začali podporovať i Fond na oslobodenie Slovenskej republiky. Nemali nazvyš, ale nádej a sen zvíťazili. Štefan Kravčík z ontárijského Londonu bol jeden z nich. Jemu patrí vďaka za tieto foto spomienky. Angličan sa usadil na samote a stavia kemp Šesťdesiatročný Angličan Nigel Lulham si plní svoje sny na Slovensku. Rodák z dedinky Kelso roky túžil po tom, aby sa mohol venovať vinárstvu a agroturistike. Zasľúbené miesto našiel na samote za dedinou Záhorce vo Veľkokrtíšskom okrese. Na otázku prečo si vybral túto zabudnutú samotu, odpovedal protiotázkou - prečo toľko ľudí zo Slovenska žije a pracuje v Anglicku? Nigel Lulham si myslí, že Slovensko je v oblasti turizmu veľmi perspektívnou krajinou. Lulham pracoval v Anglicku ako manažér farmy, južné Slovensko objavil na internete. Najskôr si kúpil starší dom vo Vieske, ten neskôr predal a usadil sa v Selešťanoch. "Miesto, kde teraz žijem, mi veľmi pripomína moje rodisko, rodičovský dom a aj okolitú prírodu. Keď sa pozriem von oknom, akoby som bol opäť malým chlapcom," vysvetľuje. Lokalitu na Slovensku si vyberal podľa ceny nehnuteľností. Rozostavanú záhradnú chatu prestaval na dom, upravil okolie a asi d v a a p o l h e k t á r o v ý pozemok s vinicou chce využívať aj na agrotustiku. Hlavným zámerom Nigela je však vybudovať na svojom pozemku stanový kemp, ktorý chce spropagovať v Anglicku a prilákať k nám svojich krajanov. Mrzí ho, že mnohí ľudia u nás ho berú ako cudzinca, na ktorom sa dá zarobiť. "Napríklad stavbári, ktorí mi pôvodne mali rekonštruovať chatu, chceli 40-tisíc eur, čo bolo veľmi predražené. Nakoniec sa práce urobili za 16-tisíc eur," povedal. Dodáva, že aj u nás sú ľudia rôzni, ako všade na svete. Dobrí, aj zlí. Na prírodu u nás však nedá dopustiť. Nigel prišiel na Slovensko sám. Je rozvedený, v Anglicku žijú jeho dvaja synovia. "Vo svete internetu nie je problém udržiavať kontakty, a to nielen s rodinou, ale aj priateľmi. Navyše dvakrát do roka chodím na pár týždňov aj do Anglicka," vysvetľuje, že kontakt s blízkymi nestratil. Štefan Rimaj PRAVDA

6 Kanadský Slovák 5. máj 2012 strana 6 Visit by Archbishop & Metropolitan Jan Babjak, SJ (By Mary Siroky-Snell) January 30, 2008 Pope Benedict XVI established a Metropolia (sui uiris self governing) with its seat in Presov, Slovakia and named Bishop Jan as its first Archbishop and Metropolitan. April 13th, 2012, this same Archbishop & Metropolitan Jan, accompanied by his translator, sub deacon Daniel Cerny, SEOLic, arrived to visit some of the faithful of the Sts. Cyril & Methodius Eparchy for Byzantine Slovaks in Canada. His final destination was the Enthronement of His Grace, Archbishop & Metropolitan William Skurla, as the fifth Metropolitan Archbishop of Pittsburgh. He thus combined this trip with a visit to us in the Toronto area. Unfortunately, there was not enough time to visit all the parishes. His visit started with a divine liturgy celebrated at the Assumption Slovak Byzantine Catholic church in Hamilton Saturday afternoon, followed by a social with parishioners and guests who attended. At the altar with Metropolitan Jan were: our own Bishop John Pazak, C.Ss.R., Fr. Jozef Mucha, Fr. John Girhiny, Fr. Andrew Sipek, sub deacon Winsen Zouzal, sub deacon Daniel Cerny, and four altar servers. Metropolitan Jan s homily expressed his admiration for the beautiful church in Hamilton and his actual words were: you people have your paradise right here on earth! He spoke of the church in Slovakia and its accomplishment to date. He also personally recommended that each and every one of us begin and end our day with the rosary of God s Mercy. This is the prayer that was taught to Blessed Faustina. Jesus said to her: Whoever prays this rosary, will, upon death receive my great mercy. Following the divine liturgy, all gathered in the hall and Metropolitan Jan met with each person to ask where their roots are, give a hug, have a picture taken and hand out one of his own holy cards. His next stop was at the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Mother of God in Toronto. He was welcomed by parishioner, Mary Siroky-Snell, at the entrance to the church with traditional bread and salt. Concelebrating with Metropolitan Jan were: Bishop John Pazak, C.Ss.R, Fr. Andrew Kormanik and Fr. Jozef Mucha with sub deacon Daniel Cerny and altar server John Telepcak. Once again, Metropolitan Jan s homily urged us to prayer and cooperation. He offered to help in any way possible to put us back on track and make our church grow. There was a luncheon in honour of our guest in the hall following the liturgy. Everyone was in great spirits and once Madeleine & William Tubaro welcomed Metropolitan Jan and our Bishop John with bouquets of flowers, everyone was seated. Master of ceremonies, Mary Siroky Snell introduced the head table, asked that Metropolitan bless the feast prepared for us and as the meal was being served, she gave a short biography of our guest in Slovak and English. Metropolitan Jan s translator was kept on his toes when Metropolitan Jan began to visit guests at their tables. He had a smile and a hug for everyone there and never complained about hundreds of pictures he had to pose for! Once again, all guests received a holy card from him and a word of encouragement. Even after all that mingling with the guests, Metropolitan Jan had enough energy to entertain us with his beautiful singing voice. He started with his signature song: Ej stretla, ze me stretla Added to the verses he normally sings, were 5 more that were written by a parishioner of this Cathedral, Mary Hosak. He sang several other songs and even sang some favourite requests from the audience. Slowly, the celebration came to an end and everyone went home filled with a feeling of peace, joy and a little bit of Slovakia brought to them by Metropolitan & Archbishop Jan. A great big thank you goes to Fr. Andrew, his son Andrew and many parishioners who helped to make this a celebration to remember. To all the ladies in the kitchen who worked from early morning, thank you for a delicious meal and for preparing the hall for our honoured guest. He truly enjoyed his visit, the meal and especially meeting with all the guests. The following evening, Monday, Metropolitan Jan visited the Slovak Heritage Museum in Oshawa and once again, finished the day off with a liturgy at the Protection of Mother of God church. Archbishop & Metropolitan Jan along with Bishop John and Fr. Stephen Williams were escorted to the altar by the Knights of Columbus. Deacon Peter and sub deacon Daniel Cerny were also helping with services. Following the divine liturgy, Mrs. Lucia Williams prepared food and refreshments for the guests and at this time, Metropolitan Jan had a small presentation for the attendees.

FOTO TASR - Henrich Mišovič 700 rokov od pamätnej bitky pri Rozhanovciach Bitka pri Rozhanovciach sa odohrala v piatok 15. júna 1312 v okolí súčasnej obce Rozhanovce neďaleko Košíc. Bojovali tam vojská kráľa Karola Róberta z Anjouz, ktorým prišli na pomoc vojská spišských Sasov, rytierov rádu Johanitov a vojsko Košíc. Ich protivníkmi boli vojská Omodejovcov (synov nebohého palatína Omodeja ), ktoré boli ešte doplnené o oddiely Matúša Čáka Trenčianskeho. V náčrte pripomeňme si dôležitú históriu pred pamätnou bitkou pri Rozhanovciach, ktorá veľmi zasiahla do dejín v 14. storočí. Roku 1301 vymrela v Uhorsku dynastia Arpádovcov. O uhorský trón začali bojovať neapolskí Anjuovci, Přemyslovci, neskôr Wittelsbachovci. Najväčšiu podporu nakoniec získal Karol Róbert. Krajina však bola po rokoch neustálych bojov ovládaná jednotlivými veľmožmi, ktorí striedavou podporou uchádzačov o trón sledovali svoje vlastné záujmy. Karol Róbert, bol 27. novembra 1308 na peštianskom sneme zvolený za kráľa a 27. augusta 1310 bol v Stoličnom Belehrade korunovaný svätoštefanskou korunou za kráľa. Už v roku 1310 sa dostal do konfliktu s Rekonštrukcia známej Bitky pri Rozhanovciach, ktorá bola najväčšou stredovekou bitkou na území Slovenska. Matúšom Čákom Trenčianskym, ktorého zbavil funkcie palatína. Matúš však titul používal ďalej a v lete 1311 zaútočil na Budínsky hrad, ktoré bolo sídlom panovníka. V tom čase vrcholil spor medzi Omodejovcami a mestom Košice. Omodeja Abu, ktorý už roku 1304 prešiel zo strany Václava- Ladislava na stranu Karola Róberta a získal pre neho práve mesto Košice, 5. septembra1311 v jednej potýčke zabili košickí mešťania. Omodejovi synovia žiadali súd a pomoc od kráľa. Karol Róbert bol však rozhodnutý túto situáciu využiť vo svoj prospech. 3. októbra 1311 bol vynesený rozsudok, na základe ktorého sa Omodejovci mali vzdať nárokov na Košice. Kráľovi museli vrátiť Abovskú a Zemplínsku stolicu, banské mesto Gelnica, Spišský hrad a ďalšie kráľovské hrady. Museli sa podriadiť kráľovi a bez jeho povolenia nesmeli stavať ďalšie hrady. Omodejovci rozsudok prijali len formálne. Nadviazali spojenectvo s Matúšom Čákom Trenčianskym a chystali odplatu. Začiatkom júna vojsko Omodejovcov, doplnené o oddiel Abu Pekného, vyrazilo ku Košiciam, ktoré začali obliehať. Viedla ich k tomu pomsta za smrť otca, ako aj to, že Košice boli slabším súperom ako kráľovské vojsko. Karol Róbert sa preto urýchlene pohol pozdĺž horného toku Hornádu svojmu strategickému spojencovi na pomoc. Omodejovci prerušili obliehanie a postupovali proti kráľovi. V piatok 15. júna 1312 sa napokon stretli obidve vojská pri obci Rozhanovce neďaleko Košíc. Kráľ zaujal nevýhodné postavenie v údolí Torysy, zatiaľ čo jeho protivníci sa rozvinuli na úpätí kopca. Magister Demeter, ktorý velil čelnému oddielu omodejovských vojsk zaútočil na stred kráľovského vojska. V bitke, ktorej sa zúčastnilo takmer bojovníkov utrpelo väčšie straty síce kráľovské vojsko, ale straty Omodejovcov boli citeľnejšie. Okrem veliteľov Demetera a Abu Pekného padli aj Omodejovi synovia Mikuláš a Dávid, ako aj množstvo familiárov. omodejovských Dá sa jednoznačne povedať, že v tých časoch išlo vraj o najväčšiu rytiersku bitku od čias tatárskeho vpádu v roku Bitka ukončila dlhoročnú vládu Abovcov na východnom Slovensku a predznamenala aj koniec vlády Matúša Čáka Trenčianskeho na zvyšnom Slovensku.

8 Kanadský Slovák 5.máj 2012 strana 8 The Brit in Bratislava and Life in Slovakia As with many ex-pats, first impressions of this country were mixed, to use the term loosely. An Eastern Europe Twilight Zone, was the phrase that first came to mind as I touched down at midnight in Bratislava airport. I was not greeted with Starbucks or McDonalds, but a dark arrival lounge with an instant coffee machine and some questionable looking taxi drivers, just waiting to charge extortionate fares to the poor naive tourists and drunken stag parties that wobbled through arrivals after a few too many beers on the plane. Continued from page 1 Bratislava twilight over the River Danube As an ex-pat in a foreign land, basic language and communication was the initial hurdle to overcome. I had learnt French and German in the past, but Slovakian I soon came to realize, was not going to be that easy. In fact, at first, it seemed nigh on impossible! I admit, these first few months of wandering around supermarkets with absolutely no idea of what was what, and having a cold sweat at the thought of perhaps ordering a pizza, I did perhaps think I had made a huge mistake. Why leave good old England, where small pleasures such as tea bags, Sunday roast dinner and a morning paper through the door, were so easily attainable? Ah, the wonders of hindsight! In my 2.5 years living here as an English ex-pat, it is incredible how much my opinion has changed. I learnt quickly that the mentality here in Slovakia is one that can be misinterpreted. I was, as I am sure most ex-pats experience, prone to asking why most people looked so miserable and why the main topic of conversation was usually money or death! I noticed a smile here and there on the streets, though, and feel that with the arrival of a bit of western thinking over the last few years people seem a great deal more open and positive minded! As I sit and write on the Eurovea boulevard, the sun is shining and the riverbank is packed with young, happy and trendy individuals. Smiling couples walk by, there are dogs and children everywhere, and the bars and restaurants struggle to serve the surplus of customers drinking fresh lemonade and cold beer, whilst soaking up the sun on the outdoor bean bags. Two young men walk past in shorts and flip flops, hand in hand..times are definitely changing! London it is not, but this country has definitely got character! Fate has brought me here. just like many hundreds of expats. It s incredible really. The culture and people are so very different to the modern western life in Britain and America but I notice there is a certain type of person who can embrace this cultural change and make it an advantage for them and family! Here, almost anything is possible! There is not the rigid red tape system you find in England and every day I meet children and adults from all over the world adapting to and accepting the way of life. The more time I spend here, the more I see it s really actually not as bad as some Slovaks will tell you. My friends and family who come to visit me in this strange little big city, always say the same thing without fail it s like being on holiday here! Wandering the cobbled streets of the Old Town in Bratislava and discovering the hidden alleyways and old churches, I sometimes feel as though I am on the set of a Hollywood movie! Of course, life is not always like in the films! I have had to become quite adept at dodging the enormous craters in the road and accepting most dishes I order will usually come with fried cheese whether requested or not! But if you are ever in need of a friendly face, there are plenty to be found! The ex-pats I meet have all been so supportive and helpful, recognizing that as a newcomer here there are certain tips and techniques adapting to life here! I discovered a great English book exchange, Next Apache, where you can while away the hours with a coffee or cold beer whilst surrounded by hundreds of books. The staff and clientele are friendly and open and the ambience is one that embraces newcomers. There is always a space at the bar to sit and chat to people from all over the world about what had possibly brought them to Slovakia. And some of the stories are truly incredible! Bratislava tram (c) Marc Ryckaert Socialising with the natives is slightly different! Most introductions begin with the question, why would you move to Slovakia?. Many of the people I meet dream of leaving the country to move to a real city. For example, London, Paris or New York! Ah London, a city where the streets are paved with gold!? Yet here I was, leaving those glittering streets, for a life in strange and small Bratislava! However, I can most definitely say I never saw any golden streets in all my years as a Londoner, and give anyone a day traveling on the London Underground in Rush Hour and I am pretty certain they would also loose any idealistic ideas that it is a city where dreams come true!. Give me the electric tram and a Slovak bus any day! So that s me.i compare the quality of life here with what I had in England and its incredible. For an extortionate amount of money I was living in a tiny, damp, rat infested flat in London, struggling for work and felt I might as well have taken wads of money every morning and flushed them down the drain! Travel alone was my entire salary and forget a casual meet up at the pub.prices of food and drink would leave you with a guaranteed empty pocket! And now? I hear you ask.well I have a lovely flat in Stare Mesto. I have work. I am admittedly struggling with this crazy language that when I ask what the basic rules are the answer is. none. But I am happy..it s not where you live.it s what you make of it.and the more foreigners I meet here the more I am convinced this is true. I have met those who fled here to nurse a broken heart, other came to support their spouse who was offered a job here, I even know some who just needed a new start and thought, why not Bratislava?. And why not indeed!? My Slovak Father in Law, recently told me that the most exciting thing about living in Slovakia was dying! Morbid, yes! But typical of the older generation s mentality here. Yet as I sit here and watch the Danube sparkle in the sun, and watch the smiling faces around me, I think that I have moved to a land of life, potential and promise, for the natives and the foreigners alike! Watch out for my next article on Life as an expat in Slovakia! Abbie Puskailer The Daily News Slovakia Dreams and the Things We Cannot See Steve R. Hreha, Ph.D. We experience them every day and every night. Sometimes they arouse our passions and at other times they inspire fear and trembling. Many times we forget them completely. Some of them leave behind faint traces of their passing, while others remain vivid memories for decades. Dreams. Dreams are the videos fashioned by our unconscious anxieties and desires at night and the fanciful flights of conscious longing and hope we conjure during the day. Daydreams repeat themselves with regular frequency at different stages in our lives, sometimes approaching the threshold of obsession. The dreams we have at night are rarely repeated although what they are about and their meaning may revisit us to our dismay or our secret pleasure. We associate dreams with what is unreal, fanciful even frivolous. We think of them as castles in the air. In the routine of our daily lives we link dreams, and dreaming, with those who fail to grasp reality as we understand it and who choose, instead, to escape into a world of their own making. Descartes, the father of Modern Philosophy, speculated that all waking life might be but a dream and then challenged us to find reasons for rejecting this hypothesis. Contemporary films such as The Matrix present his hypothesis in modern dress but do little to improve the unsettling power of his suggestion. The word dream has thus come to have an unfavorable if not negative connotation. The negative associations dreams have for us, however, are not sufficient to lead us to resist daydreaming more times in a day than we care to admit or to dismissing our dreams. We still recount our dreams and wonder about their source and meaning. Our skeptical view of dreams has contributed to undermining their value and meaning and thereby how we understand them. This may not be a good thing. At various times dreams were thought to portend the future. Good or bad luck could be read into them. In Jung s view dreams revealed the collective unconscious of humankind and the symbols appearing in them had a far reaching meaning that went beyond just the life of the individual who had the dream. Freud saw dreams differently and used them as a gateway to studying the unconscious mind of the individual who dreamed them. The truths thus revealed had the power to heal neurosis and other forms of mental distress. Modern science has robbed dreams of this allure and sees them, instead, as a maintenance function of the brain. Dreaming, it is thought, is the brain s way of defragmenting itself of clearing away unwanted and useless files. Determining the merit of these views is beyond my ken. But the more scientific view of dreams, even if it is true, is reductionist in scope and obscures something worthwhile in its implicit denial of a concealed meaning in dreams. As a graduate student in the early 1970s I was writing a thesis on the Austrian philosopher Wittgenstein. My thesis advisor was a kind, sociable man and I was flattered by the attention he gave to me and my work. I allowed myself the conceit that he and I were friends. I remember a dream I had in which he was editing his collection of books and I was helping him by putting books he no longer wanted in a box. He held up a volume by Wittgenstein and gave it to me. I was flattered and thanked him and said that I had not realized that he cared. In my dream he responded by saying: What makes you think I care? When I recalled my dream in the morning I immediately realized how misguided my view of my relationship with him was. He was my advisor, not a friend. My dream helped me better understand myself and something I had failed to see. We need to reconnect with our dreams, what the German humanist Eric Fromm called the forgotten language, and reflect on what they tell us about ourselves and our experiences. When we stand back from our daydreams and regard them as fingerposts, this point seems clear. The same is true for our night dreams. Our sense of self and personal identity are not easily discerned. These cannot be seen or touched. But they can be revealed. Dreams pull back the curtain. Many of the images we have in dreams can be traced to events in our daily life which carry little or no import. But to treat all the images in this way would be a mistake. The dreams we have at night, or the daydreams we create for ourselves during waking life, comprise more than just images they are symbols freighted with emotional depth and meaning. They help us understand who we are.

Bola to kvetinárka, ktorá sa mu ospravedlňovala, že mu poslala nesprávnu kyticu. - Nič sa nestalo, som tiež obchodník a viem, že také veci sa stávajú... Kvetinárka smutne dodá: - To áno, ale vašu kyticu som omylom poslala na pohreb. - A čo bolo na nej napísané? - Blahoželám vám k získaniu nového miesta pôsobenia! Do saloonu vrazí kovboj ako obor a hromovým hlasom zreve: - Kto je tu Johny?! V saloone hrobové ticho. - Kto je tu Johny?! - opäť zreve obrovský kovboj. Ešte väčšie ticho. - Kto je tu Johny, lebo inak všetkých postrieľam! Zrazu vstane malý, šťúply chlapík, fúkneš a zvalí sa a smelo povie: - Ja, ja som Johny! Kovboj ho schytí, zmláti ho ako žito, tak-tak že ostane nažive, vypije whisky a spokojne odíde. Keď po troch hodinách preberú malého chlapíka, ten sa neprestáva rehliť, dobre sa nezájde od smiechu. Keď sa ho spýtajú, prečo sa smeje, hrdo povie: - Ale som s ním vybabral, však? -??? - Nóóó! Ja sa nevolám Johny ale Jimmy! Pred oltárom napomína kňaz ženícha: - Máte povedať buď áno, alebo nie, a nie "pre mňa za mňa" Viete, prečo sa staré babky často modlia, čítajú Bibliu a chodia do kostola?

10 Kanadský Slovák May 5, 2012 page 10 Our Boys in the NhL Team pos gp g A Pts Marian Gaborik NYR R Zdeno Chara BOS D Tomas Kopecky FLA C Michal Handzus SJS C Marian Hossa CHI R Goalies GAA Sv% Jaroslav Halak STL Notes - Jaroslav Halak s ankle injury is more severe that originally thought, and he may have to miss another week. - After the first round of the NHL Playhoffs, only two of the initial seven hopefuls remain to bring the Stanley Cup back to Slovakia: Marian Gaborik of the New York Rangers and Jaroslav Halak of the St. Louis Blues. Although the Philadelphia Flyers succeeded in their first round, their Slovak player Andrej Mezaros has been sidelined for several months due to back surgery. - Chara, has been nominated for the Norris Trophy for the fifth time in his NHL career. The award goes "to the defence player who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability in the position." This season, the Boston captain Chara led all defensemen and tied for third in the NHL with a 33-plus rating. He also had a career-high 52 points (12 goals, 40 assists) to rank fourth among defencemen, and led the Bruins with eight power-play goals and average ice time per game (25:00). Chara previously captured the Norris in 2009 and has been nominated four times in the past five seasons. Erik Karlsson of the Ottawa Senators and Shea Weber of the Nashville Predators are the other two nominees. In My heart I Know I m Right Zdeno Chara has heart..and lots of it. The 35 year old Trencin native suffered a severe facial injury in Game 6 of the Boston Bruins' opening-round series thanks to a high stick from the Washington Capitals' Alexander Ovechkin. The injury involves the superorbital, cheek, and nose bones. Despite the injury, Zdeno Chara has announced his intention to don the jersey for Team Slovakia at the IIHF World Championships in Helsinki beginning on May 4th. It was not an easy decision. I talked to the general manager, club president, and the team doctors they all preferred that I not go. I explained the situation in which Slovakia finds itself [fighting to qualify for the Olympics]; they then left the final decision up to me, stating they would respect whatever decision I made. In my heart I feel that I made the right decision. A good hockey player does not play just for himself and when things are easy, but also in tough times and when there is a need to help others. That s what makes a good hockey player, stated the Trencin native during an interview on the radio sports program of Radio Slovensko. I am one hundred percent determined to fight for Slovakia. If I wasn t, there would be no point in going to Helsinki. Tichomir Miko Veronika Zuzulová Ties the Knot On Friday, April 28th, Slovak slalom specialist Veronika Zuzulová wed Romain Velez of France in the St. Martin Dom in Bratislava. Family, friends as well as French and Slovak skiers attended the wedding ceremony and ensuing reception at the Carlton Hotel. Veronika intends to add her husband s last name to her own. She plans to take up residence in France. It is not yet determined if she will continue to represent Slovakia at World Cup ski events. There was a misunderstanding regarding funding between Zuzlova-Velez and the Slovak Ski federation last season and there may be a parting of the ways. Russia has offered the 27 year old Bratislava native a place on the Russian team, but she has not responded at this time. Perhaps the Russians are seeking compensation for the loss of Anastasiya Kuzmina, the cross-country/biathlon skier originally from Russia who won Gold for Slovakia at the Vancouver Olympics. TM Slovakia and IIhF World hockey Championships 2012 Time to get out your jerseys and fan scarves and car flags!! The World Hockey Championships begin on May fourth in Helsinki and Stockholm. Canadian Slovaks have much to cheer about, if like me, they are supporting not one, but two teams. The very first game may elicit mixed emotions in some; Canada, my native land, plays Slovakia, land of my ancestors. I do not know how other Canadian Slovaks handle it, but I will be cheering for Canada to win, and for Slovakia to acquit itself with dignity - I want a good hockey game, not a one-sided blow out. As Tomas Kopecky said to Stanislav Bencat of Pravda, Whether a win or a loss, it is important that our fans see we left our hearts on the ice. Should by some miracle Slovakia win, then I will be happy for the Slovaks, and disappointed in the Canadians for having underrated their small country opponent and urge them to do better in their remaining games. Canada has assembled an impressive team that is going to be very tough to beat. As a result of its finishes at the last world championships, Canada is going to these championships ranked fifth behind the defending champion Finland, Sweden, Russia, and the Czech Republic. But it was a different team that represented Canada at last year s championships in Bratislava and Kosice, so the rankings are hardly indicative of the team s potential. I am picking Canada to go all the way to gold with talent like Steven Stankos, Patrick Sharp, and John Tavares. Slovakia, after last year s championships, replaced its Canadian coach Glen Hanlon with Czech Vladimir Vujtek. Whereas Foreign Affairs to Focus Attention on Russia in Particular Bratislava, April 27 (TASR) - Slovakia's foreign affairs policies should be directed in particular on strengthening bilateral co-operation with Russia, according to the Government Manifesto. Attention should also be paid to the other four BRICS countries (i.e. China, India, Brazil and South Africa), as well as to Turkey, Japan, South Korea and Australia. At all relevant international forums, Slovakia will be promoting improvements in energy security. Importance will be laid on the inflow of foreign direct investments in Slovakia, especially those with higher added value, such as science, research and information technologies, so that the country's competitiveness and job creation will be boosted. Via its foreign affairs activities, the Government will try to sustain Slovakia's position as an important transit territory. With this in mind, the broad-gauge railway project linking Kosice to Bratislava and Vienna will be supported if it is confirmed as economically feasible. The Foreign Affairs Ministry will reconsider the system of representative offices, so that Slovakia's interests are protected Canada s team is composed entirely of NHLer s, Vujtek has assembled a motley crue of players from two continents and a variety of leagues. Team Slovakia has players from the North American AHL and NHL; there are players from the European leagues such as the KHL, the Finnish League, the Swedish League, the Czech League, and of course, the Slovak Extraliga. And although a roster has been announced, it is not yet binding and room could still be made for Michal Handzus. Late additions Tomas Kopecky and Zdeno Chara will join up with the Slovak National Team in Helsinki. As a result of its finish last year, Slovakia is ranked tenth going into this tournament, but I predict it will do better than that. Team Slovakia finally eked out a win in its last pre-tournament tune up game with a 5-4 win over Team Germany in a shootout at the Skoda Cup in Bratislava. The day before, Slovakia lost to Norway 4-5 in a shootout. Hopefully, the win is a turning point for the team and begins the road to success after seven losses in eight pre-tournament matches. Slovakia s preliminary round schedule: May 4th - Slovakia vs Canada 9:15 am May 6th - Slovakia vs Finland 9:15am May7th - Slovakia vs USA 1:15 pm May 9th - Slovakia vs Kazakhstan 9:15 am May 12th Slovakia vs Belarus 5:15 am May 13th Slovakia vs Switzerland 1:15 pm May 15th Slovakia vs France 9:15 NEWS and the rights of Slovak citizens supported. The development of economic diplomacy will be especially promoted. Slovakia will support EU and NATO enlargement in relation to all countries that comply with the accession requirements. The Government is ready to share Slovakia's experiences with its own integration process. The Government views itself as clearly pro-european and is willing to do what it can to ensure the speedy ratification of three key EU documents - the permanent ESM mechanism linked to an amendment to the Lisbon Treaty, and the new fiscal compact. Last but not least of the priorities is an acceleration in drawing EU Funds. President Obama Congratulates Prime Minister Fico All games played in Helsinki Toronto time is indicated. According to the new format adopted for these World Championships, only the top four teams in each division continue to the quarter finals finishers 5 to 8 in each group will have no more games to play.

The U.S. Ambassador to Slovakia Theodore Sedgwick personally handed over the letter of congratulations to Prime Minister Fico during their meeting at the Cabinet Office. In the letter, President Obama wishes Prime Minister Fico every success as Prime Minister, emphasizing that the result of elections is a mandate supported by strong confidence of the people of Slovakia. President Obama also states in the letter that Slovakia is an important NATO ally in Afghanistan and he thanked for fulfilling commitments of our country in the region. He expressed the wish to continue to pursue joint strengthening of mutual cooperation and friendship between the two countries in a statement from the Press and Information Department of the Cabinet. Slovak Cardinal Tomko in Vatileaks Commission Slovak Cardinal Jozef Tomko will make up part of the special commission of cardinals set up by Pope Benedict XVI to investigate the so-called Vatileaks scandal, the Associated Press reported yesterday. The commission will be headed by Spanish Cardinal Julian Herranz, and in addition to Tomko will include Cardinal Salvatore De Giorgio from Italy. A preliminary meeting of the council was held this week to plan out the commission s activities. The commission will be looking into corruption allegations involving Vatican officials, and is over and above a separate criminal investigation that is underway.

11 Continued from page 6 He showed us the new Canadian way of building a church (wooden structure with insulation and brick veneer). He said it was much cheaper this way and the project is usually completed start to finish in a year! He also showed us the many changes to the pilgrimage places in Lutina and I think one of his proudest moments was when he spoke of people going to confessions. He spoke of having to appoint several priests to hear confessions of pilgrims. He spoke of protecting the environment and building a chapel of candles where everyone can Kanadský Slovák - May 5, 2012 page 11 Visit by Archbishop & Metropolitan Jan Babjak, SJ light a candle without fear of grass or tree branches catching fire. He also mentioned the chapel of apparitions that they are renovating and will be using when the weather gets really cold. He was very proud of all the accomplishments in Slovakia and was hoping to also inspire us at the same time. With the presentation completed, and a few last minute meetings with the parishioners and guests, it was time to call it a day. The following morning, Metropolitan and Archbishop Jan and Daniel Cerny, along with Bishop John, continued on their journey to Pittsburgh and the Enthronement of Archbishop William Skurla. All in all, it was a very spiritual and inspiring visit to us, Byzantine Catholics here in Toronto area. We wish to thank first of all, Archbishop & Metropolitan Jan, for his willingness to stop and visit, to Daniel for accompanying him and all his translations, to Bishop John for being such a gracious host, to Fr. Andrew Kormanik, Fr. Jozef Mucha and Fr. Stephen Williams for preparing the liturgical program, to the parishioners and volunteers in all three churches for preparing the halls and food for our honoured guest and to all who attended the liturgies and socials following. It was truly a wonderful experience and we hope that the next visit from Archbishop & Metropolitan will be a lot sooner than 9 years from now.

Renata Reinhart In 10 countries, men, women and children are being killed as part of systematic genocide, politicide or mass atrocities, according to Genocide Watch s recently updated list. In Syria, pro-democracy protesters and civilian bystanders are being bombed, shot and starved by their government s security forces; in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 3 to 5 million civilians, mostly women and girls, have been raped and murdered; and in North Korea, labor camps house 500,000 domestic and political prisoners, and non-party members are starved and undergo forced abortions. Many people don t realize that genocide is occurring every day all over the world, says Renata Reinhart, author of In the Course of My Life ( an account of the little-known Soviet genocide of 2 million Eastern Germans in 1945, committed with the complicity of England and the United States. It s something we should all be deeply concerned about any of us can become the next victims, Reinhart says. One hallmark of genocide is that the perpetrators deny it, says Dr. Gregory Stanton, president of Genocide Watch and the International Association of Genocide Scholars. They use tactics such as questioning and minimizing the statistics; blaming renegade forces; claiming self-defense; and/or claiming deaths were inadvertent and not intentional. Think You Know World Word II? The Unknown Brutality & Savagery Allowing the killers to deny the massacres ensures future slaughters, Stanton says. Studies by genocide scholars prove that the single best predictor of future genocide is denial of a past genocide coupled with impunity for its perpetrators, he says. Genocide deniers are three times more likely to commit genocide again than other governments. In the case of the 1945 ethnic cleansing of Eastern Germany, Russian soldiers were given license to launch a Revenge without Mercy on the civilian populations of East Prussia, Silesia, Pomerania and other parts of Eastern Europe, Reinhart says. It s documented; it s just been ignored, concealed and forgotten, she says, noting Nobel Prize-winner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, a captain in the Red Army who witnessed the atrocities and recounted them in his poem, Prussian Nights. A survivor of the slaughter, Margot Serowy, tells her story in paintings at MargotSoweryFineArt.com. Anticipating Germany s defeat in World War II, Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin considered the territories he would eventually claim and decided they should be cleared of all Germans, Reinhart says. Soldiers in the Red Army were encouraged to burn, loot, pillage, rape and kill to drive the Germans out of those areas beginning in January England s prime minister, Winston Churchill, was informed of the plan and referred to it approvingly in 1944 as these population transferences, Reinhart says. Churchill personally ordered the massive bombing and destruction of East Prussia s capital Konigsberg for no justifiable strategic reason and a few months later, the British bombed and leveled Dresden, killing to civilians. These attacks helped pave the way for Stalin s genocide. The revenge soldiers, she added, were supplied with food, trucks, Jeeps and other vehicles by the United States. Because the victims were German, it was all right to rape children and murder women. No one tried to stop it, Reinhart says. And, apparently, it s all right to kill men, women and children in Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Burma the rest of the countries on the Genocide Watch list. We need to hold the perpetrators accountable. That s the first step to stopping these atrocities.
