| My name is Don Wolf. I am a third generation Croatian American who has visited Croatia fourteen times, as I still have many relatives in Zagreb, Gerovo (Gorski Kotar) and Rijeka. As a photographer I had the opportunity to go to Croatia during the war with Dr. Miroslav Kovachevic, a pediatrician from Chicago who was born in Croatia. By showing my images I was able to raise funds for Croatian orphans. With the help of Stephen Fracol and Emily Novak, I produced a video tape on How to Make Croatian Nut Bread (Povitica). The profits from the sales, over $30,000 went to purchase new plumbing and replace all the old rusty plumbing in St. Theresa's Orphanage (Dom). Right now the roof of the dom is leaking water into the children's bedroom whenever it rains or snows.The dom was built in 1924 and has been patched so many times and must now be replaced. I have talked with the constructon supervisor and he has shown me the evidence. I have, with the help of Suzana Ryan (a third generation Slovenian American), produced a small flyer (brochure) about St.Theresa's. If you would be so kind I would ask you to do one or two things if you can. If you send me your address I will send you the flyer. If you feel more energetic and really want to help, I could send you many flyers for you to redistribute to your family, friends, club, church etc.. These efforts are through the Croatian Council of Kansas City and we do have a tax exempt status if you need it. The Croatian Council is a group of various Croatian organizations in Kansas City and not a political group. I know that the word Croatian was spelled as Croation and I will never hear the last of not catching it before it went to press so I ask for your leniency in advance.

| FLACHAU, Austria (AP) - Triple Olympic gold medalist Janica Kostelic of Croatia won the final women's World Cup slalom Sunday to finish the season in style. France's Laure Pequegnot came in fifth to hold onto the lead in the season's slalom standings.American Kristina Koznick, the only racer challenging Pequegnot for the season title, finished 13th in the final and finished second in the season standings. On Saturday, Janica's brother Ivica took the men's giant slalom title to wrap up a perfect weekend for the family. Janica Kostelic, who was fifth after the first run, had a combined time of 1 minute, 54.66. "I just wanted to end the season well and to show everyone I could win in World Cup races as well as at the Olympics," she said. Few people doubt her ability to win races. She dominated last season but missed World Cup races earlier this season while recovering from injury. Her spectacular performance at the Salt Lake Winter Olympics (news - web sites), where she took three golds and a silver, launched her back into the limelight and served as a confidence booster going into the final race. Kostelic raced with a glove protecting a thumb sprained in a spill in Thursday's Super G. Anja Paerson of Sweden was second in the final race, finishing with a combined time of 1:55.23, and Ylva Nowen of Sweden was third in 1:55.38. Koznick said this had been "an awesome season" for her. "I've been faster than everyone else this season and everyone knows that," she said. "I just have to be able to put it together on race day." Pequegnot rounded up the season with 597 points, 79 ahead of Koznick. Paerson finished third in the final standings with four wins and a second place to her credit and a spectacular record of either finishing on the podium or not at all. Janica prva u slalomu u Flachau, Austria NAŠA NAJBOLJA SKIJAŠICA U POSLJEDNJEM SLALOMU SVJETSKOG KUPA OSVOJILA PRVO MJESTO Janica sezonu zakljucila pobjedom! * Kakav je to samo završetak sezone, Ivica je u subotu osvojio slalomski Kristalni globus, a Janica je jucer došla do prve ovosezonske pobjede u Svjetskom kupu U Flachauu je protekli vikend najcešce izgovarano prezime Kostelic. Da bi bilo tako jucer se potrudila Janica Kostelic koja je sjajno odvozila slalomsku utrku i pobijedila. I to u trenucima kad je imala problema s bolnim palcem. Nju kao da stvarno nešto treba boljeti, jer cim je tako uvijek pobjeduje. Jucer je bila odlicna u posljednjoj slalomskoj utrci sezone. U prvoj je vožnji bila peta, na stazi koju je postavio njezin otac Ante. - Nekoliko sam puta udarila tom rukom u štapove. Na pocetku prve vožnje nisam htjela udarati po štapovima, ali kasnije, u drugoj, nisam o tome razmišljala. No u toj prvoj vožnji nisam, kako mi skijaši to kažemo, pustila skiju do kraja, možda sam mogla i bolje - kazala je Janica. Bode Miller Janicu tražio autogram Iako je start muškog veleslaloma bio odmah nakon slaloma skijašica, Amerikanac Bode Miller dugo je stajao uz ogradu ciljne ravnine i gledao skijašice. Ostao je sve dok se nije spustila Janica u toj prvoj vožnji, a tek onda otišao je na start i cekao pocetak svoje utrke. Izgleda da je Bode veliki navijac naše skijašice. Naime, pri dodjeli Kristalnog globusa Ivici Kostelicu, simpaticni je Amerikanac od Janice tražio autogram. I potpisala mu se - na akreditaciju. A onda je došla ta druga vožnja, neuhvatljiva za ostale suparnice. - Tata mi je prije te vožnje rekao: Ovo ti je zadnja tekma i sad idi do kraja. Ocito, Janica ga je poslušala. Vozila je briljantno i s petog mjesta došla do prvog. U odnosu na najbržu iz prve vožnje, Christelle Pascal-Saioni, Janica je zaostajala 72 stotinke sekunde. No u drugoj vožnji ostavila ju je daleko iza sebe, kao i drugoplasiranu Laure PTequegnot (koja je osvojila slalpmski Kristalni globus). Ni Anja Pärson s vrlo dobrom drugom vožnjom, nije Janici mogla doci blizu. Doskijala je "samo" do drugog mjesta, zaostavši za Janicom 57 stotinki sekunde. - A kaj da velim? Nemre biti bolje. U subotu je Ivica pobijedio i osvojio mali Kristalni globus, danas sam ja pobijedila. Gledajuci prošlu i ovu sezonu, Janica i Ivica postigli su u Flachauu cetiri pobjede. Kao da su na domacoj stazi. Takvom domacem ugodaju pridonijeli su i brojni hrvatski navijaci. - Još smo bolji u Aspenu. Nema baš puno istih muških i ženskih staza, ali uzet cemo sve nas dvoje - zakljucila je Janica, koja nije najbolje spavala noc prije utrke zbog bucnog vatrometa nedaleko od hotela naše reprezentacije. No, bit ce vremena za odmor, slijedi Otvoreno prvenstvo Hrvatske u Innerkremsu. - To je opuštajuce. Nika Fleiss je aktualna prvakinja, bit ce i ona tamo, pa naša mala Ana Jelušic, a ne znam tko ce još od ostalih doci. - Mogli biste voziti kao Furuseth, bez rukava. - Ne bih, nemam ništa ispod kombinezona - veselo je govorila Janica Kostelic nakon svoje prve ovosezonske pobjede u Svjetskom kupu, ukupno 13. Završnicu Svjetskog kupa nismo mogli ni zamisliti tako lijepom kakvom su nam je priuštili Janica i Ivica Kostelic. Rezultati Rezultati slaloma skijašica u Flachauu: 1. JANICA KOSTELIC (HRVATSKA) 1:54.66, 2. Anja Pärson (Švedska) 1:55.23, 3. Yilda Nowen (Švedska) 1:55.38... Konacni poredak Distributed by www.CroatianWorld.net.

| Copy of my response to the attorney Levy, re "Butcher of the Balkans": Attention: Mr. Jonathan Levy, Esq. Dear Mr. Levy: I am deeply disturbed by your article, copied below for your reference, both as a Croat and as a human being that believes in justice. As an attorney, I am sure that the concept of justice is hardly unclear to you; I am also entirely certain that you are more than familiar with the torts of slander and libel. Despite this, your article dated February 14, 2002, titled "The Original Butcher of the Balkans: Pavelic not Milosevic", is fraught with half-truths, exaggerations, unsubstantiated claims, and outright falsehoods; and is both patently unjust, and slanderous/libelous to the Croatian people and the Republic of Croatia. In fact, the article reads more like anti-Croatian propaganda than something a serious attorney would publish, as it is obviously not the result of honest research or a search for the truth. Of the myriad errors, let me at least attempt to edify you about the most serious ones: 1. Ante Pavelic was at no time a popularly elected leader of Croatia or the Croatian people. The founder of a small Fascistoid party, he was placed into power during WW2 by the Italians and Germans. He turned the Croatian people's rightful claim to independence into a sham, as the quasi-state he ruled was nothing but a Nazi puppet - something that clearly happened all over Europe at the time. However, he never garnered the support of more than a small percentage of the Croatian populace, as the Croatian people could see through his actions. In fact, a large percentage of the anti-fascist Partisan movement that fought against both Pavelic and the Germans and was lead by the Croat Tito, consisted of Croats. I direct you to any serious historic site or book for confirmation of these facts. Let me just add that Pavelic died in 1959 as a result of wounds sustained in an assassination attempt, not 'peacefully' as you claim. 2. The numbers of victims of the Pavelic regime you claim are inflated to the point of nausea. While every innocent victim is one too many, claims of "80,000 Jews and 500,000 Serbs" is an exaggeration of monumentous proportions. Croatia had a total Jewish population of less than 20,000 before WW2, while over 500,000 of the pre-war Serb population of just over 600,000 survived the war (with the approximately 100,000 lost being the result of ALL CAUSES). The math is simple, and I direct you to the authoritative book on this subject, Vladimir Zerjavic's "Losses of Yugoslav Population in WWII", for confirmation. 3. Notwithstanding the overblown claims as discussed above, none of WW2's occurrences have anything whatsoever to do with the Republic of Croatia of today. Today's independent Croatian state is a successor state to the anti-fascist ZAVNOH, and this is confirmed in the Croatian Constitution. The WW2 puppet state has nothing whatsoever to do with today's republic, which is a parliamentary democracy with free elections and a free press. The late Franjo Tudjman, whom you so wantonly and unfairly label "blood stained", was a high-ranked anti-fascist officer with the Partisans during WW2, and fought AGAINST Pavelic - hardly someone who would be a proponent of anything to do with a resurgence of the Ustasa movement. 4. Your claim that "many new public monuments" to the Ustashe are "springing up like toadstools after a spring rain" in Croatia is as ridiculous as it is untrue. I challenge you to substantiate this claim with anything approaching a primary source. I am personally aware of exactly ONE small plaque to an Ustasa officer being created, this being to Jure Francetic, and was the result of a private initiative and by no means a government project. In fact, the use of Ustasa insignia is as illegal in Croatia as the use of Nazi insignia is in Germany today. There are many other small errors in your article, as well as clearly dubious claims from, may I say, suspect or even non-existent sources. I am shocked beyond description that a respectable law firm such as yours would publish and support an article that is clearly unsubstantiated rumour mongering, and that is hurtful and damaging to a sovereign state and its people at large. One can only surmise that you have been lead astray by biased propaganda, or that perhaps you have been retained to represent a person or persons with a strict anti-Croatian agenda. Either way, your conduct can only be described as highly unethical. I am certain that the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia will be looking into this matter as well. Sincerely, Allen Milcic (E) Reply to Jonathan Levy Letters to Editors Hilda M. Foley Mar 7,2002 To: Jlevy1@cinci.rr.com Mr. Levy, At the very start I want to make it quite clear to you that Croatia is not by any stretch of the imagination the "successor state of the Ustasha NDH " as you have stated. Since you don't seem to be aware of it, during WWII the Pavelic regime was installed by the Axis, Croats had no say in it. While Croatians wanted very much to achieve independence and get out from under the Serb dominance, they did not approve of the Pavelic methods of achieving it and just about 1% of the population were pro Ustasha. That fact ought to correct some of your misconceptions. Your vicious anti-Croatian diatribe "Pavelic was the Real Butcher of the Balkans", is indeed tragic because it clearly shows how you have been totally taken in by more than fifty years of Serb propaganda. You are quoting the usual Serbian exaggeration regarding the number of Serb victims of WWII which stems from Tito's policy that inflated the numbers in order to receive a as large as possible restitution from Germany after WWII. Germany refused to pay until Yugoslavia submitted the actual numbers. These were published by the Yugoslav Annual Statistics in Belgrade and listed the number of Serbs that perished in Croatia and Bosnia of all causes as 295,000 as well as 247,000 Croats and Muslims. In his book in the 1980's "Calculation of Serbian Losses in the Territory of the NDH ", Croatian Vladimir Zerjavic quotes the Serb losses as 322,000 - that includes: killed by Germans and Italians, (50,000), typhoid (25,000), Jasenovac/Gradiska camp (50,000), other camps (28,000), civilians during battles (34,000) , Partisans (82,000), collaborators and quislings ( 23,000) and at the German camp in Zemun (20,000). According to the Archives of the Yugoslav Communist Party, and they would certainly not underrate the Ustasha massacres, about 40,000 Serbs died in Jasenovac, the Jewish victims are listed as 16,000 in Croatia and 10,000 in Bosnia. The trial in Croatia two years ago of the Jasenovac camp commander has proven those figures to be correct and accepted by the Jewish community. Of course no one should condone the death of even one innocent person, yet at the same time, don't you find it strange that not a single Jewish researcher has investigated the Serb concentration camps run by the Nazi Serbs under general Nedic in Serbia during WWII, where 23,000 Jews perished - in Banjica, Sajmiste and others. While Croatia erected a memorial to the victims in Jasenovac, the Serbs destroyed their camp sites and built settlement over them. By the way, contrary to your statement, Croatians only fought in Croatia and Bosnia, never set a foot on any other part of then-Yugoslavia. Just where is the proof that Croatians were killing Ukrainians? One only has to wonder - or perhaps not really - where you are getting all this anti-Catholic information while totally ignoring the fact that the Serb Orthodox Church has always been virulently antisemitic. Their leaders called the Jews "the spawn of the devil" and during WWII proudly declared Belgrade "the first Jew-free city". Only recently, Vojislav Seselj, the murderous Serb paramilitary leader, under whose command thousands of Croats and Muslims were killed during the recent war, and who now sits in the Yugoslav Parliament in Belgrade, has written : "Kill every Jew, Croat and Albanian". In contrast, Croatians as a people, have never been known to be antisemitic. There are many other issues I could address but I don't want to trouble you with too long a letter. Let me just touch on several: Did you know that Serb Chetniks were known for their massacres and viciousness even before WWII? Did you know that some 70,000 Croatians, ordinary soldiers and civilians, women and children fleeing from communism to Austria, were killed near Bleiburg by the communist partisans after the end of WWII? Their mass graves have been discovered yet no one ever mentions those victims. I would suggest to you a few books : "Serbia's Secret War" by Philip Cohen, Vladimir Zerjavic "Losses of Yugoslav Population in WWII" (1989 Zagreb, Bogoljub Kocovic "WWII Victims in Yugoslavia" (1985 London) and Ljubica Stefan, recipient of the Medal of the Righteous Among the Nations, "From Fairy Tale to Holocaust". They might shed some light in this darkness of perception. Sincerely, Hilda M. Foley National Federation of Croatian Americans Distributed by www.CroatianWorld.net.

| Hvala, Nenade, na brzom i pravilnom odgovoru;"logirala" sam se na CROWN i stavila je u svoj "favourites" sad mogu sve citati. Pa sam procitala o Serbo-Croatian u UCLA-u, i ponovno se uzasnula, jer sam ja to jednom uporno ispravljala: Kad sam predavala na UCLA-utamo u 80-tim godinama primjetila sam da u njihovih 17 (sedamnaest!) knjiznica postoji i etnografska knjiznica i, jasno, pozurila sam da nadjem Hrvatski dio. Vec sigurno znas odgovor: nije bilo hrvatskog djela, ali je postojala Jugoslavija, Crna Gora, Srbija, Slovenija, Bosna i Hercegovina, Makedonija, pa onda mali odsjecak o Dalmaciji i Istri !?! A Hrvatska, Croatia - ni tocke ! Posto sam bila dio "faculty" (pa da i nisam!) digla sam uzbunu i zatrazila da se uspostavi i hrvatski predio, koji sam sam napunila knjigama na hrvatskom i engleskom jeziku (kojih je moj brat Ante imao na stotine, kao i ja sama), te plocama nasih pjesama, slikama o Hrvatskoj i nasih nosanja, te narodnih rukotvorina izrezbarenih u drvu i sl. To je bilo lijepo prihvaceno od etnografa i dozvolili su mi da taj dio knjiznice posvetim mome pokojnom bratu Anti Mileticu, koji je zivio i umro za Hrvatsku, a u inozemstvu, nazalost nikad nije dozivio vidjeti slobodnu si domovinu, Eto, toliko o tome, Nenade...

Adresa albuma je: http://community.webshots.com/user/m_lozic Album birate sami... Zelim Vam uspjesan rad, ostvarivanje ideja i mastovite i poduzetne suradnike. S postovanjem, Meri Lozic |
