Because of his celebrity in Poland, he was allowed by the Polish Ministry of National Defense to use the Polish Air Force roundel on his helmet. It only made sense and was a great moral booster for the other Polish Olympians. Who flies higher and more often than Stoch? “It is a badge of excellence,” said a spokesperson for the Polish Olympic Team. The Polish Ministry of Defense considers the use of emblem as an act of patriotism and goodwill. The Polish Air Force red and white checkerboard is the national marking on military aircraft. It was originally used as personal insignia of Stefan Stec, a Polish fighter pilot, and then in December of 1918, it became a national roundel (PLEASE TURN TO PAGE 7 ) Another Nazi-Looted Artwork Will Return To Poland Thanks to the joint efforts of Poland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Culture and National Heritage a long-lost painting from the pre-war collection of the National Museum in Warsaw will return to Poland. The work of a well-known German artist Johann Conrad Seekatz titled “St. Philip Baptizing a Servant of Queen Kandake” was handed over by the US officials to Poland’s Minister of Culture Bogdan Zdrojewski on February 6. The handover ceremony at the Consulate General in NY was attended by Poland’s Ambassador to the US Ryszard Schnepf and Consul General Ewa JunczykZiomecka, as well as New York Special Agent in Charge James T. Hayes, Jr. and U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, Southern District of New York, representing US authorities. “I am very happy that another painting that was registered as a Polish wartime loss comes back to Poland today. Unfortunately, due to our tragic history, the database of Polish wartime losses is still enormous. However, the Polish govern- ment attaches great importance to this issue as it’s one of our key priorities. Using this opportunity, I would like to thank the United States’ authorities involved in this difficult process for their close cooperation with my services that deal with wartime losses at the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. It is our common success.” said during the ceremony Poland’s Minister of Culture and National Heritage Bogdan Zdrojewski. The oil-on-copper painting, “St. Philip Baptizing the Servant of Queen Kandake”, portrays an episode from the Acts of the Apostles, the fifth book of the New Testament. It is the work of a wellknown 18c. German painter, working, among others, as the court painter in Darmstadt. The painting came from the collection of Piotr Fiorentini, a Polish officer, official and collector. The work of art remained at the National Museum in Warsaw until the outbreak of the Second World War. The wartime fate of the Seekatz painting is still unknown. One may only assume From the right: Ambassador of Poland to the U.S. Ryszard Schnepf, Chief of Money Laundering and Asset Forfeiture Unit, Southern Division District of New York, Sharon Cohen Levin, Poland's Minister of Culture and National Heritage Bogdan Zdrojewski, and U.S. ICE/HSI New York Special Agent in Charge James T.

We will withhold your name on request. “The Politics of Envy” by Dr. Joseph Horton I was excited when I learned that the parents of a student I knew produced a product my family used and enjoyed. His response to me was “Yea, they’re getting rich off you.” He was quite confused when I replied “They should be. They make a very good product. If they are not getting rich, they are not good business people.” The student expected me to be envious of his parents’ success rather than thankful for the product that met my family’s needs better than anything else. In a free society, people get rich by providing goods and services people want at prices they are willing to pay. Yes, there are people like the founders of Solyndra who game the system and get rich from government favors. Still, most people who become rich do so by serving others, whether it be designing new computers or running a carpet installation business. President Obama has made the reduction of income inequality a key focus of his second term. Our president is promoting the politics of envy. We are told that some people have more than their fair share, and that only the government can make things more fair by taxing and regulating the successful. The losses of the rich are supposed to make the rest of us happier and better off. Since the president was inaugurated, middle-class incomes have fallen when adjusted for inflation. Five years of the Obama presidency with tens of thousands of new regulations and hundreds of billions of dollars of stimulus spending and tax increases on the wealthy have not helped middleincome families. This is not surprising. Remember President Clinton’s luxury tax? It was supposed to affect only the rich who bought things like yachts. The people who built yachts lost their jobs when the rich stopped buying luxuries. President Clinton was humble enough to allow the luxury tax to be repealed. Our current president is doubling down on more of what has failed and is prepared to use constitutionally dubious methods, circumventing the legislative branch, to do so. We do not need new savings accounts created by executive fiat so middle-income people can loan more money to the government. Savings Bonds already exist. We need more wealth creation. Contrary to what many pundits claim, wealth is good. Wealth is fresh fruits and vegetables in January, indoor plumbing, and MRI machines. Neither will raising the minimum wage improve the lot of those who earn it. People can only be paid what their labor is worth for a particular job in the current economy. Raising the minimum wage will increase automation, eliminating low-level jobs. Claiming otherwise for political support simply takes advantage of people while pretending to help. It is not by chance that the United States is a wealthy country. Yes, the government was involved in such things as building roads which have helped business. However, government does not have any resources of its own. Roads were built because productive people paid taxes to pay for them. We have become a wealthy country because for most of our history we have had relatively low taxes (when rates were high there were huge loopholes), limited regulation, the rule of law, and relatively little corruption. No one is arguing that there should be no government, or that no tax revenue should be collected. Limited government, however, provides the freedom for entrepreneurs to provide solutions to people’s problems and improve their lives. If our elected officials would in humility stop trying to engineer fairness, step back and let Americans create wealth, the middle class could thrive again. President Obama is encouraging us to compare ourselves to those who (PLEASE TURN TO PAGE 15) ISSN NUMBER: 0300-6786 – POST PUBLISHING CO.

Box 2127, Clifton, NJ 07015 We Should Be Alarmed At Obama Administration’s Disregard For Our Constitution Dear Editor: This letter is in response to Richard Hunter’s letter “You are entitled to your opinion but not your facts” (Jan. 29th Post Eagle). I am not sure if Richard Hunter is the Professor in Seton Hall, a man that I admire, but I disagree with his take on Pat Grzywacz’s “History Lesson”. I do not see any problems with Grzywacz’s facts, but I disagree with some of his interpretations of cause and effect. I strongly disagree with Richard Hunter’s defense of current political trends and Presidential abuse of power as necessary for “common good” that supposedly the government provides. First of all, common good is a slogan that has been used to justify the unjustifiable such as Obamacare. What possible common good is there in imposing Obamacare on us? That kind of “common good” is always at the expense of individual rights guaranteed under the Constitution. It has also been the basis of unabashed Judicial Activism of the last 60 years. The current Radical Left, which took control of the Democratic Party, has no concern for “common good”. What they want is to replace our social and political system by their yet undefined utopia. As for Social Security and Medicare, whose need is recognized by most of us, they are in danger because of the Democratic Party radical agenda which is pursued by Obama. Criticizing the Democrats for what they have done to these programs is not the same as opposing them. After the Reagan reforms which put the two programs on sound fiscal basis, the Democrats quickly looted the Trust Funds as soon as the debts were paid off. Today, the Federal Treasury owes SS over $2.5 trillion dollars, which they have no intention of repaying. Medicare is on life support, not only because of looting but also because it is structured as a “pay as you go” program instead of a pension plan. More than 2/3 of an individual’s expenditures on health care are in the last 10-15 years of life. Under Obamacare, Medicare funds will be further depleted to pay for those dubious benefits of Obamacare. I don’t know how many people have noticed that those two safety net programs have been lumped with some 50 welfare programs under the heading of “Entitlements”. I believe that it is part of the strategy of the Democratic Party to eliminate those two as programs which are separately funded by a payroll tax, and DISCLAIMER: THE VIEWS AND OPINIONS PRINTED IN THE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, OP-ED PIECES AND VARIOUS ARTICLES ARE SOLELY THE WRITERS - NOT THE POST EAGLE. merge them with all the welfare programs, funded by general revenues, into one huge government program. Of course, the payroll taxes will be left in place. Some twenty years ago the New Republic, a Democratic Party policy magazine, devoted a whole issue to that notion and argued that the time has come to implement it. As for aid to education by the Federal Government, it has done more harm than good and should be eliminated. Invariably it sticks the states with most of the cost for programs of questionable value. The Core Curriculum is the latest gratuitous Federal intrusion into elementary education and has the potential to further damage an already faltering system. It has to be stopped. Elementary education is the province of the States under the Amendment X of our Constitution and Federal Gov. should stay out of it.

Krawczewicz February 26, 2014 Page 3 THE POST EAGLE Poland’s Eastern Border Is Still Open To Invasion By John Czop As this article goes to press, revolutionary crowds in the western Ukraine are asserting their independence from Kiev, Ukraine's capital. Western Ukrainian revolutionists seized the regional government buildings in Lviv and IvanoFrankivsk. Both these cities have long histories as Polish fortresses. Today they may become strongholds of an independent Western Ukrainian republic. The independentist insurgents have armed themselves with heavy automatic weapons which they captured from several dozen police stations in the western Ukraine. In Ternopil, approximately 100 miles east of Lviv, autonomists burned down police headquarters. This sets the stage for some parts of the western Ukraine to secede from Ukraine. Samuel P. Huntington, an influential American political scientist, best known for his scholarly article of 1993 which he subsequently expanded into his book of 1996, THE CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS AND THE REMAKING OF WORLD ORDER, persuasively identified Ukraine as a cleft country, or a country composed of two civilizations, while most countries are of one civilization. Huntington sees civilizations as defined by religion and identifies seven world civilizations: Western HENRY C. WALENTOWICZ Attorney At Law CELENTANO, STADTMAUER & WALENTOWICZ 1035 RTE. 46 EAST, P.O.

For Huntington, Ukraine is the world's most important cleft country, divided approximately into two nearly equal parts along the Dnieper River, which flows through Kiev, and separates the western Ukraine which is part of Latin Western Christendom from the Orthodox eastern Ukraine. Population, agricultural, and industrial production and natural resources make Ukraine very important according to Huntington, and without Ukraine in its orbit, Russian power is much diminished. Moreover, the Ukrainian language prevails in the western Ukraine, while most speak Russian in the eastern Ukraine. The word ukraine means frontier: that is the land on either side of a border. In this case the border was between the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth, or, Res Publica, and Muscovy, the Rus principality favored by the Mongols who conquered Rus in the Thirteenth Century. The Mongols gave preferential treatment to the Muscovites because they collected taxes for the Mongol overlords from other Rus principalities. The Muscovites emerged as the strongest of the Rus principalities because they were the most brutal and oppressive. By contrast, the culturally Polish Res Publica guaranteed the individual rights of the political nation, that is approximately 15% of the population, and limited the sphere of governmental action. The western Ukraine benefited from this liberty loving tradition rather than Muscovite authoritarianism. What might happen if Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovich decides to use armed force to reassert his authority over areas in western Ukraine controlled by independentists? The first consequence of this policy would be a refugee situation along western Ukraine's border with Poland. How would this affect Poland? In November 2005, Professor Zbigniew Brzezinski accosted this kind of question in his keynote lecture at Columbia University's symposium on "Polish Foreign Policy from Piast Times to the Present". He wondered what the reaction of Poland's NATO allies might be if a crackdown against insurgent democrats demanding their rights National League of Cities Launches Campaign to Promote VITA Tax Help Service and Volunteer Opportunity WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National League of Cities (NLC) launched a marketing campaign this month with the National Community Tax Coalition (NCTC) to raise awareness of free tax prep options for low- and mediumincome residents in New Jersey.

Stolarz Branch Name: Morgan Stanley, Little Falls, NJ Phone Number: 973-890-3020 Web Address: : www.morganstanleyfa.com/stolarz Most articles about college planning focus on advice for parents or other adults who expect to pay the cost for a younger person's education. But what about the beneficiary who plans to attend college? Most articles about college planning focus on advice for parents or other adults who expect to pay the cost for a younger person's education. But what about the beneficiary who plans to attend college? Although most young people don't have the assets for college savings that their elders do, being part of the planning process can be educational, offering financial lessons for the future. Children can earn money, learn about sources of financial aid, research potential colleges, and take other steps that may relieve their parents of some of the responsibility of college planning. In addition, some experts believe that if children are actively involved in planning for their future, they may be more committed when entering college and ultimately have a more successful experience than they would have otherwise. Starting Early According to the U.S. Department of Education, the best time to introduce children to college planning is when they are in the sixth, seventh, or eighth grade. You may want to initiate discussions about college and explain the importance of developing good study habits and getting involved in extracurricular activities -- to instill the idea that your family supports higher education. You may also want to encourage your children to begin thinking about the career they would like to pursue, which is likely to influence their choice of college, as well as to establish a savings account that could be earmarked for education expenses. In addition, you can teach basic lessons about compounding, investing, and other money management issues. When students are in the latter part of middle school, they can also start planning to make the most of high school experiences with an eye toward college. Remind your budding scholar that success in high school depends on skills and attitudes that are developed in middle school or earlier. For example, time management skills developed in middle school may eventually help a high school student manage schoolwork, a job, sports, and other interests. And when the time comes to pick classes for the first year of high school, a good mix of college prep courses may be important. in math, science, language arts, social studies, and other areas of interest, as well as postsecondary courses of study in these areas. Maintaining high academic standards -- Colleges prefer applicants that have exceeded basic requirements and taken more challenging courses in language arts, math, science, social studies, foreign languages, and other areas. Many high schools permit qualified students to earn college credits by taking Advanced Placement courses. Excelling in these classes may demonstrate motivation and reduce the number of academic requirements after a student enters college. Learning about college costs -- Students may gain a deeper appreciation of their family's financial sacrifices when they realize how expensive college is. They can learn about college costs from the College Board at www.collegeboard.com, the U.S. Department of Education at www.ed.gov, and high school guidance offices. Researching scholarships - There are numerous Web sites with information about sources of financial aid. For example, www.fastweb.com and www.finaid.org contain search engines with data about thousands of scholarships with varying eligibility criteria. In addition, www.fafsa.ed.gov provides an overview of federal student aid programs, including Pell Grants, campus-based aid programs, Stafford Loans, PLUS Loans, and others. Also, local libraries and high school guidance offices may have information about state-sponsored aid programs and scholarships sponsored by local organizations. Earning money -- High school students can set aside a portion of their wages from part-time or summer jobs for higher education expenses. Also, students may be able to obtain jobs that build on career interests as a way of solidifying their future plans. Getting organized -- College planning encompasses numerous details, including visiting institutions that a student may want to attend, applying for financial aid, obtaining transcripts and letters of recommendation, and meeting deadlines. A high school student can take responsibility for making sure that important matters are tended to ahead of time. For example, if a student has a school vacation coming up, he or she could help organize a family trip to visit colleges of interest or spend some time completing college applications. You and your prospective student may be able to think of more ideas that could add value to your family's efforts to save for a college education. Getting your budding scholar involved in the process -- financially and otherwise -- could ultimately be a pivotal lesson in responsibility that impacts his or her later success in life. this age can be encouraged to maintain good grades, enhance computer skills, and think about potential careers. 3. High school students can explore college planning at a deeper level, including using the Internet to research college costs and sources of financial aid. Websites such as w w w . e d . g o v , w w w. c o l l e g e b o a r d . c o m , www.fastweb.com, www.finaid.org, and www.fafsa.ed.gov provide considerable information in these areas. 4. Since attending and financing college requires planning and attention to detail, high school students can help their parents develop a plan to make sure things get done on time. For example, the plan could encompass visiting prospective colleges, completing applications and other paperwork, applying for financial aid, and other tasks. 5. Parents and students can work together to develop a budget for college expenses. Average costs for various types of two-year and fouryear colleges are available at www.collegeboard.com.

The U.S. Ambassador Stephen Mull was confronted by world affairs journalist and publicist Bartosz Węglarczyk, in a conversation moderated by Michał Baranowski. This timely event attracted a crowd of over 80 people and provoked a heated debate between government officials, policy community leaders and experts. According to Ambassador Mull, the reason for Secretary Hagel’s visit was to thank Poland for its engagement in Afghanistan as well as to congratulate on increased defense spending and military modernization process in Poland, strategically significant for NATO because of interoperability. Broadly speaking, the visit took place because of the general satisfaction with the state of Polish-American relationship and its potential to grow. Hagel’s visit also provided reassurance that the U.S. remains fully committed to building the European Phased Adaptive Approach, contrary to the belief that development in Iran might have weakened its interest in the initiative. Bartosz Weglarczyk, who spent 6 years in Washington, held a more pessimistic opinion on this transatlantic relationship. He remarked that not only are there constant talks of the U.S. pivot towards Asia, but also that a Polish pivot away from the U.S. is observable, caused mainly by the lack of U.S. public diplomacy in Poland. Recent scandals such as the secret CIA prisons in Poland, or the Snowden affair which undermine the opinion of the U.S. government and its intelligence services Looking for Singers!

What also deepens this lack of trust is the uncertainty with regards to U.S. strategic aims towards Central Europe or the Middle East. In response, Ambassador Mull explained that there is a vast talk of cooperation that is taking place behind closed doors. With military operations winding down, the U.S. intends to cultivate partnerships and maintain alliances and one way forward is cooperation on cybersecurity. Resources will be rechanneled in places which did not receive enough attention because of other priorities and the U.S. will be intensifying relations Poland would be ready to make. He reassured that the U.S. will continue to cover the majority of NATO’s resources, so fears of disengagement, also expressed from the audience, will remain unsupported. Bartosz Weglarczyk actually remarked that U.S. leadership in NATO is strongly desired. Given the lack of common EU security policy, the EU would follow NATO’s vision. Regarding the situation in Ukraine, Ambassador Mull expressed deep concern, and asserted that the U.S. and Poland are in full agreement on the subject and share the same views about potential sanctions. Current action should involve working together to provide humanitarian assistance as needed, as we wait to see how the situation unfolds. Mr. Węglarczyk agreed that there is nothing more that can be done immediately. As the conversation was coming to a close, Ambassador of Romania inquired about the possibility of NATO cooperating with states on the eastern border of the EU.

To find a list of VITA sites by location, visit: www.bit.ly/taxprepfree. “The VITA program is an excellent resource for low- and mediumincome families to receive information and assistance in filing their taxes,” said NLC President Chris Coleman, Mayor of Saint Paul, Minn. “The program exemplifies the shared commitment of the National League of Cities and National Community Tax Coalition to raise awareness about resources that empower families to achieve economic success.” In addition to VITA sites throughout the state, online help is available through www.myfreetaxes.com/NCTC_NJ. On that website, individuals or families making a combined income of $58,000 or less can complete their tax returns on their own in a few simple steps at no cost. “The online self-preparation option allows individuals to prepare their own return from wherever they choose and comes with built in lifelines by clicking a button to chat with a certified volunteer or calling the helpline for assistance,” said Jackie Lynn Coleman, NCTC President and CEO. “This saves hardworking Americans invaluable time and money that can be invested into their families.” Bus ads will be displayed on buses servicing targeted routes in New Jersey, and feature a quote from U.S. Senator Cory A. Booker telling riders, “By saving on tax prep and getting connected to resources, you can invest where it’s most needed…your family.” In addition, a television public service announcement featuring Senator Booker will play statewide encouraging eligible residents to visit a VITA site where they can also receive financial coaching and healthcare application assistance. The program also encourages community participation and provides training for individuals who want to become a “Tax Volunteer.” In 2013, nearly 92,000 volunteers participated in the program.

Logisz Great Hall of The Polish Museum of America (PMA), 984 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. The presence of distinguished leaders of national, state, county, and city government is anticipated, as well as leaders of Polonia. A short program of speakers will take place, concluding with an official wreath laying ceremony at the painting, Pulaski at Savannah, by Stefan Batowski. Admission is free. General Kazimierz (Casimir) Pulaski (b. Warsaw, Poland, March 6, 1745 d. near Savannah, Georgia, October 9-10, 1779) is recognized as the Father of the American Cavalry. He offered his services as an experienced military leader to the American Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. I came to hazard all for the freedom ANOTHER NAZI(CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE) Schnepf expressed also his personal gratitude to the former Deputy Consul General of Poland in New York, Marek Skulimowski for his engagement in the case. It was only in 2011 that it was possible to establish, in cooperation with U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), that the Seekatz painting was put up for sale in one of the New York auction houses in 2011 and was subsequently purchased by an art gallery in London. Returning the painting from London to New York, and at the same time allowing the transfer of the work to Poland, was a result of a complex legal and administrative process and months of cooperation between the Embassy of Poland in Washington, DC and federal Homeland Security Investigations officials. Embassy of the Republic of Poland Washington, D.C. of America, stated Pulaski in a letter to the Congress. Even before he was officially commissioned by Congress, Pulaski joined the American Army as a volunteer. At Brandywine, in 1777, he greatly distinguished himself by leading a daring attack against the British, thereby saving the retreating American Army. At the insistence of General George Washington, Pulaski was made a Brigadier General and the first Commander of the American Cavalry. He established the Pulaski Legion, a corps of Frenchmen, German Hessians, and Poles, who were instrumental in saving the City of Charleston, South Carolina, from British occupation in 1779. In October of 1779, at the age of 34, General Pulaski paid the ultimate price for freedom: he died from mortal wounds received while leading a cavalry charge in Savannah, Georgia. The General s mortal remains were ceremoniously reinterred at the Pulaski Monument at Monterrey Square in Savannah, GA in October of 2005. Posthumous honorary US citizenship was granted to General Pulaski in 2009. Refreshments will be served following the official program in the PRCU Social Hall on the first floor. Free parking.

The insignia became a worldwide symbol of courage from the success of the Polish fighter pilots during the Battle of Britain in World War II. Stoch won his second gold medal in the men’s downhill ski-jump. Said Stoch, “'I have weird thoughts at this moment. I’m thinking, ‘Is it happening for real or is it a dream?’”. Jacek Adamski contributed from Krakow Heidi Kopala & Tom Kazalski Honored By John Czop NEW JERSEY - On 12 January 2014 at the Polish Cultural Foundation in Clark, New Jersey, the Polish American CongressNew Jersey Division (PAC-NJD) held their annual Opłatek. At the Opłatek, Dr. Stanislaw Sliwowski, president of the PAC-NJD, named two outstanding Polish Americans as the 2013 recipients of this division's Annual Recognition Award for their outstanding contributions to the Polish American Community: Mrs. Heidi Jadwiga Kopala and Mr. Tom Kazalski. The Vice President for American Affairs of the PAC-NJD, Mrs. Dorothy Sowchuk, who also is president of the Polish American Heritage League - sponsors of the annual Polish Heritage Festival, that takes place on the second Sunday in June at the PNC Bank Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, introduced Mrs. Kopala. A longtime serving member of both the Polish American Heritage League and the General Pulaski Memorial Parade Committee, Mrs. Kopala, over the past 14 years has held the position of Account Auditor in the Parish Internal Audit Department of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark. She is active in the parish life of Saint Stanislas Church in Newark. With her beautiful flower arrangements, Jadzia enlivened the Polish Cultural Center in Clark when she served on the Social Committee and helped to prepare ad journals for special events. The seventh and youngest child of Czesława and Antoni Gabryszewski, the young Jadwiga grew up in Ląkie, Poland, a village surrounded by beautiful lakes in the environs of Skępe, a small city near Torun. She learned at home to be HEIDI JADWIGA KOPALA AND TOM KAZALSKI ever mindful of the needs of others and did charity work as a youngster. After completing her education in Torun, Jadwiga emigrated to America and added “Heidi” as her first name upon becoming an American citizen. She settled in Irvington and married Stanley Kopala. They are the proud parents of two sons, Adam and David, who recently earned university degrees. Jadzia and Stanley now live in New Providence and recently became grandparents after the birth of their beautiful granddaughter, Ela Sofia. When this writer asked Jadzia what propels her exceptional record of activity on behalf of Polonia, she observed that: while embracing the United States of America as her adopted country, she continues to value her Polish heritage, and as time goes by, she has become increasingly aware of the strength of the Christian and democratic values which Poles and Americans share. Left to right: Mr. Maurycy Leszkiewicz, national director PAC-NJD, Dorothy Sowchuk, Dr. Sliwowski, and Mrs. Kopala. – Photos courtesy of Tom Kazalski This is why it is important for her to work to improve both people-topeople and state-to-state relations between America and Poland, the two peoples and countries she loves. Mr. Thomas J. Kazalski is a model example of the Old Polonia. His father's side of the family has been in the United States for four generations and emigrated from the environs of Warsaw, while his mother's side of the family has been here for three generations. Tom grew up in “Polish” Irvington and earned degrees in chemical engineering from the then Newark College of Engineering, now New Jersey Institute of Technology, and an MBA Degree. He is a successful manufacturer's representative for water purification and waste treatment systems. Thanks to Tom's expert advice and action, our environment is healthier and safer. This writer has served on the Polish Heritage Festival Committee since 2011, and admires Tom's highly developed skills in critical thinking and his fair, firm, and friendly management style. He is the long serving treasurer of the Polish American Heritage League, the organization that sponsors the annual Polish Heritage Festival, which will take place this year on June 8. This year Tom is in charge of the Festival's main Plaza Show, ad journal, and raffle. Like Heidi, Tom also is a longtime serving member of the standing committee, the General Casimir Pułaski Memorial Parade Committee that produces the annual Pułaski Day Parade in New York City every year. This year the parade will take place on Sunday, October 5. When I asked Tom for his views on how the Old Polonia and the New Polonia might work together more productively, he registered his skepticism about the soundness of my question and responded that those who do volunteer committee work for Polonia need to observe transparency in money matters and follow the principles of democratic corporate governance and reciprocity toward our benefactors. Tom is justifiably proud of the fact that the General Pułaski Memorial Parade Committee is the ONLY sponsoring organization of the Polish and Slavic Federal Credit Union (PSFCU) that shows reciprocity for the credit union's collection and transfer of dues to the parade committee by maintaining a good checking account with the PSFCU and paying all of its bills with checks drawn on that account. This keeps Polish money in the Polish community. Heidi and Tom well merit praise for the hard volunteer work that they do for Polonia. POLISH CHILDREN'S HEARTLINE CELEBRATES ITS 28TH YEAR.

Page 10 February 26, 2014 THE POST EAGLE Entertainment • Entertainment • Entertainment • Entertainment • Visiting Some of Poland’s Treasures With Euro Pilgrimage Tours Erika Piotrowski, 21-year-old daughter of “Pan” Franek, and member of the famous band, “Pan” Franek, Zosia and the Polka Towners, invites anyone interested in visiting some of the most famous tourist attractions in Poland, to join her for a sightseeing pilgrimage tour this May 23-June 3, 2014. Recently, Erika has become an international tour guide, leading groups to Poland and to St. Anne’s Shrine in Canada. Her future plans will include other worldwide destinations as she begins her new career. She has travelled herself to Calcutta, India on a mission trip, where she received her calling to explore and learn cultures of other countries. Probably the most exciting place this upcoming Poland tour will take one will be to Wadowice, Poland, the birthplace of Karol Wojtyla, more popularly known as Pope John Paul II. By the time of the tour, he will have been named to sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church by Pope Francis. Wadowice is a city located in southern Poland, about 30 miles from Krakow (another tour destination). This city dates back to the late 10th century. It was destroyed by fire in the early 15th century, but, was rebuilt. Karol Wojtyla was born in 1920 in Wadowice. Later he would be named the bishop of Krakow and the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. Between 1941 and 1943 almost the whole Jewish population (more than 2,000) was exterminated under the direction of Nazi Germany. Mostly this took place in the nearby Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Auschwitz is another destination on this tour. After the peaceful transformation of the political and economic system in Poland in the late 20th century, most of the town went bankrupt because the industries died. However, because of the popularity of Pope John Paul II, and Wadowice’s fame as his birthplace, tourism began to grow there. Karol Wojtyla’s home was made into a museum. His high school still stands. One can also visit the church where he attended Mass, served as an altar boy, was baptized and confirmed. These days more than a quarter of a million people visit this city every year. A cultural festival is held every year from May 18th until the beginning of June to commemorate the birth of Karol Wojtyla. The pilgrimage group will be there to experience the excitement of this festival on this the year of his canonization. Another highpoint of this pilgrimage tour with Erika is a visit to By Don Haderle Southwest Polka Party In Las Vegas Wieliczka, where folks will visit the largest mining museum in the world. There one can view equipment and mining technologies from as old as the Middle Ages. These mines were worked from the 13th to the 20th century. Visitors will go underground to as deep as 135 meters (442 feet). They will walk through mines including numerous tunnels, chambers, see underground lakes, caves, and salt sculptures lining the tunnels. They will also see the highlight of the tour, the Chapel of the St. Kinga, which is a place of worship carved from salt rock. The salt mines are quite something to see. People come from all over the world to view these mines. The mines were still producing salt until 2007. They have been renovated somewhat to make them into the fine salt mining museum that they are today. A pilgrimage to Poland would not be complete without a visit to Czestochowa, a city of 240,000 inhabitants established in the 11th century. Czestochowa is located in south Poland on the Warta River. The city is famous for the Pauline Monastery which houses the Black Madonna painting and a shrine to the Virgin Mary. Several legends accompany the painting of the Black Madonna. One is that the presence of the holy painting saved its church from being destroyed in a fire, but not before the flames darkened the fleshtone pigments, thus giving her the name Black Madonna. The legend concerning the two scars on the Black Madonna's right cheek is that the Hussites stormed the monastery in 1430, stealing from the sanctuary. Among the items stolen was the painting. After putting it in their wagon, the Hussites tried to get away but their horses refused to move. They threw the portrait down to the ground and one of the thieves drew his sword and struck the image and made two deep scrapes. When the robber tried to inflict a third strike, he fell to the ground and writhed in pain until his death. Don’t forget.... if you don’t advertise your event or product, who will know about it! CALL 973-473-5414 Polka Out West FOR RATES OR E-MAIL: [email protected] You can now advertise on our website: WWW.POSTEAGLENEWSPAPER.COM Despite past attempts to repair these scars, they had difficulty in covering up those slashes. Whatever one believes, the painting is surrounded with mystery and wonder and is a delight to gaze upon, and Czestochowa offers an amazing place of pilgrimage and prayer. As I mentioned previously, not too far from here, a visit to Auschwitz is also on the docket for the travelers. Anyone who is at all familiar with the atrocities of the German occupation of Poland and other European countries during World War II knows that the most notorious of concentration camps is Auschwitz in Poland. There 1.1 million Jews and Catholics were killed at the hands of twisted-minded German soldiers. This sad memorial death camp offers a tour to remind the world of what really happened in those years of torture, hard labor and death to men, women and children that did not fit Hitler’s idea of the “perfect race.” Although this tour is tear-jerking, it is an eye-opening view into world history of just seventy years ago. Besides the aforementioned places, your tour/pilgrimage will include a fun-filled raft trip down the Dunajec River in Szczawnica, a tour of Warsaw, a visit to the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy, where Sister Faustina Kowalska was given the Divine Mercy Chaplet, a visit to the Wawel Castle in Krakow, Poland that was the seat of Polish kings, time spent in the Main Market Square, the gothic Church of St. Mary’s, a side trip to Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima in Krzeptowki, where Pope John Paul II gave thanksgiving for his life after his assassination attempt in 1981, a stop at Niepokalanow Sanctuary, former home to St. Maximilian Kolbe, 21st century martyr of Auschwitz, and a couple more interesting spots on the agenda. If you would like more information on this exciting and amazing tour please contact Erika Piotrowski at 231-720-8378, or e-mail her at [email protected]. The cost for this twelve-day tour is $3,850 per person, including round trip air from Chicago, based on double occupancy. Come and experience Poland like never before! (see advertisement on Page 6) – Written by Liz Zagar The 23rd annual Southwest Polka Party was held in Las Vegas at the Orleans Hotel Casino February 1113. Bands played in two ballrooms. The Mardi Gras Ballroom is the larger of the two with capacity for over 800 people offering a Master dance floor. Ray Sands, Julie Lee, and the Softones rotated from 1pm to 10pm Tuesday and Wednesday with a shorter program on Thursday. The Esplanade Ballroom holds several hundred people. The Alaska Polka Chips and Barefoot Becky rotated on the program with a jam session setup from 5-7 pm Tuesday and Wednesday. Our buddy, Roman Possedi, emceed the event. Roman was Mr. Chicago in Cleveland-style polka music for six decades. He has resided in Las Vegas for over a decade and does a masterful job introducing the talent. Ed & Lois Halvorsen, who originated the Southwest Polka Party, retired and handed it off to Julie Lee who kept the same format mixing in a few new bands and promises to keep it fresh with some new bands each year. Julie did a great job organizing the event and performing. The polka music was soft tempo with a lot of two-steps, an occasional circle Schottisch, and other mixers which the crowd loves. The dance floors were well occupied without being crowded. It’s aptly called a party. We see people from across the country that we haven’t seen since the party the prior year. It’s as much a time to socialize as it is to dance. The party flows out of the venue into hotel rooms. A few doors down the hall from us a group was having a champagne breakfast party on Wednesday. We (Mary Saber, Phyllis Seibert, Gail, & I) had a jampacked room party on Wednesday where Pete Dundas, Danny Fitterer, and Potsy Jenovic played heart throbbing Slovenian music. It’s a happening – music, dance, dine, gamble, and gambol!

As Of December 31, 2014 By Ray Skorka After much deliberation, I am announcing that this current year, 2014, will be the final year of bookings for The Ablemen. I am proud to say that the band is performing in its 51st year, but after all the bookings, traveling, and time away from home, it is time to say “so long” to a musical career that has been extremely good to me. I began performing with my first band, The Ray Dels, in 1963 at weddings and private parties. We added performances in lounges and clubs to our schedule during the 1970’s. Having grown up on polka music by the Connecticut Twins, Frank Wojnarowski, Frank Gutowski, and Bernie Witkowski, I always had a desire to perform in the polka field. So, in the mid1980’s, we broke ground in that arena. The Ablemen have continued performing a variety of musical genres ever since. To dispel any doubts or rumors, there are no physical or health issues that factor into this decision; it is simply the right time. I am looking forward to attending events that I have had to miss during the past seven decades due to our performance schedule. I have been fortunate to perform currently with loyal, talented musicians who are friends: Jim Obrotka on drums and vocals for 49 years: RAY SKORKA Joe Annecchino on saxes, clarinet, flute, and trumpet for 30 years; and Bill Miranda on trumpet, flugelhorn, and vocals for 26 years. I also wish to express my gratitude to others who have accompanied me for periods of time on this musical odyssey: my original band mates Eddie “Skippy” Freed and Ronnie Teddick on drums and guitar; Tom Obrotka on sax and clarinet; Bill Wojciechowski on guitar, trumpet, and vocals; Rich Robino on saxophones, clarinet, flute, and keyboards; John Grant on trumpet, flugelhorn, and guitar; and Jim Jordan on trumpet and flugelhorn. Thanks, too, to the female vocalists who worked with us at wedding receptions during the 1980’s and early 1990’s: Maggie McCarthy, Dale Cafarro, Lynn Iossa, Audrey Shane, and Patty Varian. I also want to acknowledge my late parents for their dedication to my music lessons on the accordion and piano. A debt of gratitude goes to my music teachers, in order, on accordion: June Dee Stark, Ray DeBrown, Freddie Yarosz, and Stephen Harer; on piano – John Mayurnik. I am proud of the band’s achievements throughout the years, including winning the first place trophy and being acclaimed the Gold Medal Band at the National Polka Festival at Hunter Mountain for three consecutive years in the 1980’s. The Ablemen performed for several years on Fifth Avenue in New York City at the Reviewing Stand for the annual October Pulaski Day Parade and played on floats for various organizations in that same parade during the 1990’s. In addition, we performed during the 2000’s at both Shea Stadium and Citi Field for the NY Mets annual Polish-American Heritage Nights. The Ablemen also appeared on several polka TV shows on WVIA-TV in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. There are also great memories of playing at many polka weekends, festivals, and notable Polish halls – all too numerous to mention. A special acknowledgement goes to all the DJ’s and IJ’s who have played our recordings on their (PLEASE TURN TO PAGE 13) POLKA NOTES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9) ••• SAT.

Kryger, a legend in the polka field and a wonderful family man and friend to all who knew him, passed away Wednesday, January 29, 2014, at his home with his loving family by his side. Born January 7, 1931, in Shenandoah, PA, he was the son of the late Brunon & Alexandria Wroclawski Kryger. Lucian was a 1949 graduate of Marymount High School, Wilkes Barre, PA and an Army veteran of the Korean War. Lou was a skilled and passionate musician who was dedicated to entertaining. After the passing of their father, Lucian and his brothers, George “Jerry” and Bruce, established The Kryger Brothers Orchestra. After Bruce’s death & Jerry’s retirement, Lucian continued the band as The Kryger Orchestra until 1996. Lucian was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1988 for his “Polka Mania” album and he, along with his father & brother Bruce, were enshrined in The Polka Hall of Fame.

I know of no other band that does that better. Care for a polka band and you care about their families and you become aware of the love and sacrifice on everyone’s part. It’s hard work on top of a regular job and doesn’t leave much time for anything else. When Lou and his band played, you knew it was The Kryger Orchestra. They had a unique sound of their own and everyone knew that. What is it that we remember when we think of Lou? I think everyone who knows him very well would agree, it was his sense of making people happy through his music. Lou indeed loved life wonderfully. He was so well loved & cared for by his loving wife, Eleanor, his daughters, Luciann & Allison, grandchildren Ryann & Steven and sister Barbara.

There are over a million words in the English language. 60% of them come from Latin and Greek. The following story(s) will help you to understand and retain the meanings. By Joseph Stefaniak, an envoy of the Classics. The words for today are legal terms. SUBPOENA as we all know is an order to appear in court or to supply documents to the court. It comes from the Latin - SUB - meaning UNDER, and POENA - meaning PENALTY. If one does not comply there can be a penalty imposed. In ancient Roman times the penalty was usually a fine. Roman penalties for crimes varied from torture or crucifixion to exile. A gruesome punishment for parricide (killing of a father, mother or kin) was to place the guilty in a tied sack with a dog, a viper and a rooster and throw the sack into the Tiber river. The word - POSSE - which we know from the many western movies we have seen is defined as a committee organized by a sheriff to aid in law enforcement . It comes from the Latin words POSSE COMITATUS- which means POWER GIVEN TO A BODY OF MEN. The Latin word - POSSUM , POSSE, POTUI means TO BE ABLE. The Latin word - COMITATUS - means AN ASSEMBLY, A CONVENTION, A COUNTY. In medieval times groups such as these were permitted by the king. The words - POTENTIAL and POTENCY- meaning POWER or ABILITY - are also derived from the Latin word - POSSE.

At first, it might appear unclear, because of the confused situation created by refugees trying to seek safety by crossing into Poland, that Poland actually was being invaded. That is why Brzezinski encouraged the Truth and Justice Party government, led by the Kaczynski brothers, that won the elections in October 2005, promptly to set up an independent defensive force outside of NATO to defend Poland's territory for two-to-three weeks until public opinion in the NATO countries concluded that Poland, in fact, had been invaded. National sovereignty, Brzezinski reminded his auditors, requires national self-defense. How has the situation changed since Brzezinski delivered his lecture at Columbia in 2005? Poland's border is still open to invasion from the east.

The early November 2013 NATO war games, Operation Steadfast Jazz, demonstrated that the United States, as leading NATO power, was not willing to show its political will to project armed force into the Baltic and northeastern Poland. Collective security and alliances are fine, but Poland needs to meet the contingency of a Russian attack, the theme of Russian war games in that region since 2009. Poland's leaders should have, but did not, set up the independent defense force Brzezinski called for over eight years ago, and before the Russian invasion of Georgia, which was a masked invasion. Readers recall that fashionable opinion in America and western Europe suspected that Georgia started or provoked the Russian invasion.

No longer is there doubt that Putin's Kremlin is intent on restoring the former Soviet empire in a Muscovite guise. Poland and other countries bordering Russia must take responsibility for their own defense. The only bright spot was the decision announced in late March 2011 by the Tusk Government to move forward with Poland's nuclear energy program, the first step toward a nuclear arsenal for Poland. As momentum builds in Polish public opinion for an independent international investigation of the Smolensk Disaster of 10 April 2010, the need for Poland to have an independent nuclear force becomes more urgent.
