(H) Jalta po Pavuni
Jalta po Pavuni Upravo sam se vratio s konferencije (fizicara) u Jalti, pa ukratko: Sve strahote komunizma i manipulacije naroda boljsevizmom su ociti na Jalti, a i u cijeloj Ukrajini, koja je najveca europska zemlja; (usput letio sam preko Istambula – koji je posebna i opet zanimljiva prica) Tranzicijski paradoksi: na glavnom trgu veliki spomenik Lenjinu tocno ispred najveceg i najelitnijeg McDonalds restorana (!) koji je prepun, a u luci veliki britanski ‘crusing-ship’ iz Londona prepun ostarjelih britanskih turista koji su dosli vidjeti gdje su se to sastali Staljin, Churchill i Roosvelt … … da, ovdje se vidi povijest 20-og stoljeca mozda bolje nego drugdje … i odmah uocite do koje smo mjere svi bili (i ostali) manipulirani … Po hotelima bogati i bahati mafijasi okruzeni brojnim djevojkama koje se vise-manje prostituiraju na sve moguce nacine, izgubljene u kaosu tranzicijskog drustva … a bauljajuci ”radni narod” = sobarice i konobari sluze (obuceni u stare socijalisticke odore tek malo dosminkane) kako neo-bogatase tako i nas grupe ”bogatih” stranaca sluzbeno dovedene i placene od NATO-a ili EU i slicnih ”pomagaca” … Drustvo je kapitalisticko, ali mentalitet je u prosjeku jos soc-komunisticki i svi zale za dobrim starim vremenima ”sigurnosti” i ”soc-glamura”, mada mislim da se nece pokusati vratiti unatrag jer novac igru vodi i nisam vidio neke velike zelje za novom ”boljs-revolucijom” … Na cable-TV – svi kanali svijeta (bolji izbor nego u US-hotelima !), te borba za gledatelje izmedju anglosaksonskih business kanala protiv tzv. USA neo-krscanskih entuzijasticara (koji najavljuju kraj svijeta) … Ipak globalni dojam jest da su svi ti narodi velike zrtve Lenjina i grupe avanturista koji su ih uvukli u boljsevicko-komunisticku avanturu: Covjek ne moze ne zapitati se: a sto da su ostali carevina, te krscanska zemlja te evoluirali u post industrijsko drustvo … Hrvatska je ipak u nesto BOLJOJ situaciji, mada arhetipno je sve to isto … … i trebat ce 1-2 generacije da de-hipnotiziramo i nasu naciju … … jer i Hrvatska je bila komunisticka … pa o raznim ”vodjama” necu … Svi oblici ljudskog djelovanja koji ignoriraju Ljubav Krista su uvijek dugorocno pogubni, a komunizam sa svojim manipulacijama u 20-om stoljecu je stravicno unazadio sve (bivse) komunisticke zemlje.

(E) Origins of the Word Croat
Origins ofthe Word Croat an alternative hypothesis: Most texts dealing with the origins of theword Croat, or more specifically the slavic variants of Hrvat or Horvat, seem toaccept the thesis that the term can be traced directly to Persian inscriptionsfrom about 500 BC. This view holds that the name derives from an ancient Iranianpeople living in a region referred to as Harahvatis, which, in modern terms, wassituated in what is now present-day Afghanistan.On the face of it, the seemingsimilarity of the words Harahvatis and Hrvat lends credence to this theory.However, it should be noted that such superficial similarities in form are notnecessarily indicative of a direct linguistic link; especially when the positedcognates (ie supposedly related words) are from different language families, asis the case with the Harahvatis / Hrvat hypothesis. In point of fact, the field of linguisticsis rife with instances of false etymologies. Even in closely related languagessuch as English and German, phonetic similarities can be misleading. Take forexample the word form gift, which exists both in modern English and German. Tothe casual observer these words might seem related. However, the English wordgift actually is derived from the postulated Indo-European root ‘ghebh,’ and iscognate, not with the German word gift (poison), but with the German word geben(to give). Not being familiar with the extent andnature of the specific data which gave rise to the Harahvatis thesis, obviously,I am not able to attempt a categorical analysis of this theory’s viability.However, if, as it appears to be, the primary basis for the Harahvatis theory isphonetic similarity, then I believe serious questions might well be raised.Common sense alone dictates that any phonetic reconstruction of a dead language be taken with agrain of salt. In fact, linguists have long argued over the merits of evenattempting phonetic reconstruction; critics pointing out that the”comparative method” used in historical linguistics should only beascribed to reconstructing phonemic forms without respect to detailed phoneticattributes. Simply put, a phoneme represents a soundin a given language which is linguistically significant. For example, thecontrast between p and b in such English words as pin and bin. Phoneticanalysis, on the other hand, is a detailed description of the physical qualitiesof a sound (ie is it voiced, aspirant, nasal, sibilant, etc). In extinctlanguages we can, at best, only make educated guesses at what the underlying sounds related to theorthography might have been. Therefore, just how similar the forms Harahvatisand Hrvat really are to one and other is not necessarily as close as our modern-day interpretation might lead us to believe. In any case, there isperhaps another possible explanation for the derivation of the term Hrvat, whichavoids some of these uncertainties, and is perhaps more analytically”elegant” in being less removed from recent facts, both in terms oftime and space. The basis of this alternative explanation is to be found in awell established sound change occurring in the Czech and Slovak languages,wherein g becomes h. For example, the word for hunger in modern Croatian (andmost other slavic languages) is ‘glad,’whereas the corresponding Czech andSlovak form is ‘hlad.’ Examples showing that this shift from g to h is aregularly occurring sound change are many and included the following: gavran (raven) > havran glas (voice) > hlas golub (pigeon) > holub grad (city) > hrad griva (mane) > hriva grom (thunder) > hrom jagoda (strawberry) > jahoda knjiga (book) > kniha Along the same lines, the word formountain, gora, has the corresponding form hora. Given the fact that theancestors of modern-day Croats appear to have migrated into the Dinaric rangefrom the central European tablelands (ie modern Slovakia, and Poland) it seems quite plausible that these people maywell have been referred to as something like ‘those who went into the mountains’or “hora,” and thus, by extension, the word “Horvat” (whichis the current slavic form of the word in all but the south slavic languages; withthe “o” apparently having elided into a vocalic r in south slavic) . It has not been my intention in this briefpaper to write an exhaustive argument for the “hora” derivationalexplanation of the word Horvat, but merely to raise the issue as a possiblealternative. Given the inherent difficulties in dealing with extinct languages,as well as the possible complication of ascribing a slavic “corevocabulary” word’s origins to a non-slavic language, it seems the “hora” explanation provides asimpler and more direct derivation. In linguistics, as indeed in mostdisciplines, often times the least complicated solution also proves to be themost accurate.

(H) Dok mu zivo srce bije – BOGATSVO Australskih Hrvata
Komentar objavljen na hrvatskom radiju 3zzz Melbourne, Hrvatskom radiju Sydney i australskom Hrvatskom Vjesniku OGROMNO BOGATSTVO AUSTRALSKIH HRVATA Marjan Bosnjak Ponekad se dogodi da nismo ni svjesni sto sve imamo, kakva imamo bogatstva i kakve vrline. Ovoga tjedna vam zelim govoriti o jednom zaista ogromnom bogatsvu kojeg imaju australski Hrvati, a da toga mnogi nisu ni svjesni. Ovoga tjedna vam zelim govoriti o nasim hrvatskim umirovljenicima, jer su oni za nas i za nasu zajednicu, jedno zivo bogatstvo. A koliko je to nase zivo bogatstvo? kao sto rekoh -mnogi nisu ni svjesni. Na hrvatskim radio programima, kako na drzavnom SBS-u, tako i na 3zzz, pa i u Hrvatskom Vjesniku, svi smo povremeno culi ili citali vijesti, obavijesti i drustvene oglase nasih umirovljenickih drustava, koji oglasavaju ili neki rucak ili neki izlet. Svi smo dakle culi o nasim umirovljenickim drustvima i svi znamo da postoje. Ali znate li mozda koliko ih imamo? Znate li mozda koliko umirovljenika oni okupljaju? Znate li da samo ovdje u nasem gradu, u Melbourneu, ima cak sedam hrvatskih umirovljenickih drustava, te jos dva u obliznjem Geelongu.? A znate li da hrvatsko umirovljenicko drustvo u Springvaleu ima cak 718 clanova? Drustvo u Sunshineu ima preko 300 clanova, u Clifton Hillu skoro stotinu a u Centru hrvatske zajednice u Geelongu 150. A koliko umirovljenika tek imamo u drugim gradovima, u Sydneyu, Perthu, Adelaidei, Brisbaneu, Canberri? Mi ocito nismo ni svjesni s kakvim ljudskim resursima, s kakvim znanjem i zivotnim iskustvom raspolazemo Nasi umirovljenici su nas ponos, ali i nasa neocekivana snaga i bogatstvo. Pravo bogatstvo nije samo novac, nego su pravo bogatstvo- ljudi, jer su ljudi ti koji stvaraju i novac i sva druga bogatstva. U povijesti, vecina naroda je svoje stare ljude cijenila i postivala. Stari ljudi su postivani radi svojeg znanja, radi svojeg zivotnog iskustva, i radi svoje mudrosti. Neki u novije vrijeme pogresno misle da kada ljudi jednom prestanu raditi, kada odu u mirovinu, da tada prestaju biti produktivni i korisni, da je tada njihova vrijednost na neki nacin puno manja, nego kada su bili zaposleni. Takvo je primitivno shvacanje potpuno pogresno. Dapace sto se tice nase Hrvatske zajednice, upravo su nasi umirovljenici ti koji nasoj zajednici i nasem drustvenom zivotu mogu najvise doprinijeti, Nasi su nam umirovljenici dragocijeni jer imaju i vremena i znanja a takodjer i veliku ljubav prema svojem hrvatskom narodu.. Umirovljenici su ljudi koji ne moraju svakoga radnog dana otici na posao i za nekoga raditi. Oni imaju puno vise slobodnog vremena kojeg mogu posvetiti i sebi i svojoj obitelji, i svojim unucima, i svojim hobijima, ali i svojim drustvima i svojoj hrvatskoj zajednici. Mnogi od nas koji nismo u mirovini moramo svakoga radnog dana otici na posao i za nekoga raditi. Mnogi smo pored toga vremenski ograniceni i obiteljskim i brojnim svakodnevnim obvezama, radi kojih jednostavno ne stignemo sudjelovati u hrvatskom drustvenom zivotu koliko bi htjeli i trebali. No za razliku od nas, nasim je umirovljenicima svaki dan relativno slobodan. Oni nemoraju ici nekome ostvarivati profit. Oni svoje vrijeme mogu posvetiti ili svojim privatnim aktivnostima ili nasim drustvenim. A sve je vise nasih umirovljenika koji vec sada svoje vrijeme posvecuju nasoj hrvatskoj zajednici i nasim drustvima. Sve vise je umirovljenika koji pomazu svojim crkvama. Koji pomazu sa opcim odrzavanjem, sa uredjivanjem vrta, s ciscenjem, ili necim drugim. Sve su to vazni poslovi koje netko mora napraviti. A evo jos nekoliko primjera; Ima nasih umirovljenika koji, recimo, vole nogomet i koji svoje slobodno vrijeme daruju nasoj Croatiji Melbourne. Neki od njih, poput Ivana Pavlovica i Rudija Horvata, tamo preko tjedna pomazu u uredu, odgovaraju na telefone, vode kuhinju, rade za barom, organiziraju zabave, sakupljaju pomoc za klub i upisuju clanarine. Tu je i nas umirovljenik Pero Micic koji vec duze vremena dobrovoljno radi na hrvatskom radio programu i odgovara na telefone. A tu su i drugi umirovljenici koji ili dobrovoljno pred crkvama prodaju knjige ili pisu pisma ili pak organiziraju peticije. Mnogi drugi umirovljenici redovito priredjuju ili ruckove ili organiziraju izlete-ponekad cak i ambiciozne. Tako su nedavno umirovljenici iz Sunshinea pod vodstvom gdje Ecije organizirali vrlo uspjesno putovanje cak u Lourdes, Vatikan i Hrvatsku. Mnogi drugi umirovljenici dobrovoljno rade na zabavama,- ili sluze ili kuhaju ili ciste. Ovakvih bih primjera mogao navesti jos mnogo. Da nije nasih umirovljenika koji to rade sasvim dobrovoljno, to bi morao raditi netko drugi, netko koga bi se vjerojatno moralo i platiti, a kao sto svi znamo, nasi klubovi, nasa drustva i nase ustanove uglavnom i rade dobvrovoljno pa bas ni nemaju previse sredstava za place ili za skupe radove. Nasi umirovljenici su zapravo jedna citava vojska vrijednih i sposobnih ljudi i zena koje ne smijemo iskljucivati iz naseg drustvenog zivota, nego dapace, koje, trebamo jos vise ukljucivati u sva nasa drustva, u sve nase aktivnosti. Hrvatska bi drustva zamolio da nasim umirovljenicima otvore vrata i pruze ruku, te da ih pozovu da se jos vise ukljuce u drustveni rad. Nasi su umirovljenici jedna ogromna snaga, koja u vecini, i hoce i moze, biti od velike koristi za cijelu nasu hrvatsku zajednicu. A sve nase hrvatske umirovljenike koji ovo citaju/slusaju bih zamolio, nemojte cekati da vas netko pozove. Ako mozete i hocete pomoci, nazovite vi prvi. Budite Vi, ti koji ce poduzeti prvi korak, koji ce prvi kontaktirati. Nazovite Vi svoje najblize hrvatsko drustvo, hrvatski dom, hrvatski klub ili hrvatsku crkvu i ponudite im svoje znanje i svoju pomoc. Barem nekoliko sati tjedno. I nasoj zajednici a i Hrvatskoj su danas potrebni svi Hrvati, i stari i mladi, jer svi mi, i stari i mladi volimo svoj narod i svoju Domovinu, kako to vrlo dobro kazu zadnje dvije kitice nase hrvatske himne Lijepe Nase Dravo, Savo, Drino, teci nit ti Dunav silu gubi, Sinje more svijetu reci, Da svoj narod Hrvat ljubi. Dok mu njive sunce grije, Dok mu hrasce bura vije, Dok mu mrtve grob sakrije, Dok mu zivo srce bije. Marjan Bosnjak Bosnjak@telstra.com
(E) SPINDLETOP CENTENNIAL – ANOTHER MISSED OPPORTUNITY
SPINDLETOP CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION: CROATIANS MISS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY by Drucilla Badurina Dear Mr. Spahich: First, the distinction bestowed upon you in 2000 by the Republic of Croatia is most laudable. A few years ago, I had the honor of accepting, on behalf of Professor C. Michael McAdams, the Republic of Croatia’s State Honors presented to him at a ceremony at the Croatian Embassy. You, he and others have been rightfully recognized for your many years of tireless work in supporting and defending the Croatian nation’s right to self-determination as a free, independent democracy, often when it was not popular even in the United States. Your message of 6/18 which included various correspondence about Houston and Rijeka as future sister cities, a possible honorary consul generalship and other “news” items was very interesting. Hopefully, these “projects” will be the just the beginning of a continuing endeavor to enlighten present and future generations of Texans as well as Americans nationwide about Croatia and Croatians. Unfortunately, even though we’re entering the second decade of Croatia’s independence, there still is a notable lack of any proactive, continuous, effective education/promotion campaign or program about Croatia and Croatians on the American scene. What follows is an archival article by Badurina & Associates which you may not have read and might be of interest to you. It might be of some interest to Houston Croatians also. The best of luck with the sister city project. Sincerely, Drucilla Badurina President, Badurina & Associates e-mail: badurinapr@aol.com BADURINA & ASSOCIATES P. O. Box 5447 Falmouth, Virginia 22403 E-mail: USACroatia@aol.com January 20, 2001 SPINDLETOP CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION: CROATIANS MISS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY National Public Radio (NPR) recently featured a report on the January 10 celebration in Beaumont, Texas commemorating the centennial of Spindletop, the world’s most important oil strike. This famous oil field in Southeast Texas changed the course of history, inaugurated the huge Texas oil industry and the petroleum era and, according to the report, “helped to transform the United States into a superpower.” Spindletop is also known as the “Lucas gusher” named after mining engineer, Captain Anthony F. Lucas, who discovered the oil field. Spindletop was the ultimate confirmation of his belief that the area was a natural petroleum reservoir, despite ridicule and skepticism about his theory during the time of his exploration. Today there is a monument in his honor at Spindletop and, since 1936, fifteen years after his death, the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering has awarded the Anthony F. Lucas Medal to notable individuals in the field of petroleum development. What NPR did not correctly report was that Anthony F. Lucas was a Croatian immigrant, born in Split, Croatia in 1855. He was the son of Franjo Lucic, a sea captain, from the Croatian island of Hvar. As was common among many immigrants, he changed his surname from Lucic to Lucas when he came to the United States. Yet, NPR’s broadcast reported that he was Austrian. While certain words on his Washington, DC tombstone inscription such as Spalato and Illyrian (referring to his birthplace, Split, and his Croatian ancestry) might baffle the average American, these should be comprehensible and unambiguous to anyone doing serious research about the subject. Nevertheless, most books and articles published in the United States about Spindletop say Lucas/Lucic was Austrian or German or Italian. A 1995 article entitled: Captain Anthony F. Lucas: An Austrian Pioneer by an associate professor of English and German at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas indicates the Texas Energy Museum in that same city has a life-sized, talking figure representing Captain Lucas that explains, in a German accent, that he was Austrian born. The writer says that his surname is an Americanized form of the Slavic “Luchich” {sic}. This particular article even appears on the Austrian Information web site. Austria seems quite happy to claim Lucas/Lucic as its own! Spindletop is indeed an important part of Texas history as well as Croatian and world history, well known to many of the 20 million plus people living in the state especially those educated in Texas elementary and secondary schools. Spindletop is also well known nationally and worldwide to millions of individuals associated with the petroleum industry and ancillary companies. In fact, Spindletop is such a significant part of Texas history that early in 1999 then Governor George W. Bush and the Texas Legislature created the Spindletop 2001 Commission to plan and implement the state’s official celebration of that 100th anniversary. Former US president and Texas oilman, George H. Bush, was the keynote speaker at the January 10, 2001 commemoration at Spindletop. He reminded his audience that what began at Spindletop, Lucas’ discovery, was “not a misguided adventure but rather a providential blessing to be used and shepherded wisely.” That event and others scheduled during the yearlong celebration would have been marvelous promotional and educational opportunities for Croatian American organizations and/or the Republic of Croatia’s representatives in the United States. However, none had the wisdom or sagacity to seize these opportunities to definitively reclaim Captain Anthony F. Lucas’ Croatian identity, begin to successfully reverse continuing historical error, and in the process, begin to effectively promote Croatia and Croatians among those millions of Texans and other Americans familiar with Lucas/Lucic and Spindletop but mistaken about or unaware of his true ethnic heritage. Undoubtedly, the Spindletop centennial was a ready made public relations dream served on a silver platter. But Croatian American organizations and Republic of Croatia representatives in the US were either uninterested, unconscious or on another planet. They seem to have missed or ignored the importance of this special opportunity to promote Croatia and Croatians among Americans in the second largest state in the US and home state of the new US president, George W. Bush. Their track record for constantly, effectively publicizing/promoting Croatia and Croatians among Americans in the US is negligible. Maybe they’ll get their act together in time for Spindletop’s bicentennial. In the meantime, almost ten years after the Republic of Croatia’s independence, the mechanical figure of Croatia’s Captain Anthony F. Lucas at the Texas Energy Museum continues to exclaim to thousands of tourists visiting Spindletop that he was Austrian born. Op-ed: from The Franklin Institute Online http://sln.fi.edu/fellows/fellow2/jan99/spindletop.html Drucilla Badurina and many others spoke about Spindletop for many years. Lets make a difference and organize acampaign to change label Austrian into Croatian. Someone needs to lead, where and whom to address, but a public exposure to the media (newspapers, TV etc) with couple of good articles published would be a GREAT start.We need 3 fine articles. Please supply. Nenad Bach Spindletop Spindletop is the name of a small knoll just south of Beaumont Texas. Anthony Lucas, an Austrian-born mining engineer, has been supervising the drilling of an oilwell since October 27, 1900.His crew must install a new drilling bit on the string of a drill pipe. The date is January 10, 1901. The drilling crew begins lowering the new bit to the bottom of the hole. They run about 700 feet (200 meters) of drill pipe into the 1,000-foot (300-meter) hole. Suddenly, the well starts spewing drilling mud. The mud, a liquid concoction that carries rock cuttings out of the hole, drenches the rig floor and shoots up into the derrick.The crew evacuates the rig and waits to see what will happen. The flow stops. The workers return to the rig and start cleaning up. Without warning, mud erupts again. Then a geyser of oil gushes 200 feet (60 meter) above the 60-foot-high (18 meter high) derrick.See the photo to the right.The spouting oil blows all the drill pipe out of the hole. The blowing well elates Lucas and his crew as they watch the display from a safe distance. They estimate that it is flowing over 3 million gallons (over 12,000 cubic meters) of oil per day. In oilfield terms, that’s over 80,000 barrels of oil per day.Before Spindletop, a big producer flowed 50 barrels (8 cubic meters )per day. The Lucas well produced 1,600 times that amount. It showed that buried layers of rock could contain tremendous amounts of oil. What is more, it proved that rotary drilling was an effective way to obtain it. Spindletop marked the beginning of the modern petroleum industry.
