I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the committee members, cooks, Sergiu Lachi and all others who helped in any way. Last but not least thanks to the members and friends who supported us throughout the year. On Sunday, 12th May we celebrated Mothers Day. In their honour we prepared a short program in which mainly children performed. Thanks to Vida Konina for preparing the program. On the 12th June we organised a trip to York Peninsula. We stopped in Maitland where we had a delicious lunch prepared for us by our fellow countryman, Mr Emil Kregar who is the owner of the Maitland hotel. On Sunday, 23th June we celebrated Slovenia National Day. It was nice to see so many people attend. Also present were pater Janez and Mr Florjan Auser from Sydney who represents Slovenians abroad in Australia. Pater Janez is leaving us after 33 years of priesthood. We would like to thank him for serving the Slovenian community and wish him all the best in his retirement. A big thank you to Vida Konina, who once again prepared the program for this occasion, also to Adrian Vatovec and his choir and all the other performers. Once again dont forget the general meeting on the 11th August 2013. On the agenda, the outcome of the members vote regarding the sale of the club will be discussed. You would have received a letter at the beginning of the year outlining this. I sincerely hope that you can make it to this very important meeting. Thank you. Best regards, Ivan Cafuta President ***************************************************

Izlet na Yorke Peninsula

V mrzlem in deevnem jutru smo se v sredo, 12. junija pred klubom vkrcali na avtobus in se preko mestnega hrupa peljali na izlet na York Peninsula. Bili smo v skrbeh, da se morda zaradi deja ne bomo mogli ustaviti v parku v Port Wakefieldu, kjer bi se okrepali s toplo kavo, ajem in odlinim pecivom, ki so ga s seboj prinesle nae dobre ene. No, pa Bog je uslial nai pronji in tik pred Port Wakefieldom je nehalo deevati. Ustavili smo se v parku ob obali, kjer so nas priakali domaini - morski galebi in se nam pridruili ob prigrizku. Pihal je hladen veter, zato za nekatere ni bila dovolj samo kava, aj. Treba se je bilo pogreti z neem monejim.... Za to je poskrbel predsednik kluba. Po skoraj urnem postanku smo se zopet vkrcali v avtobus in nadaljevali vonjo. Deevalo ni ve. Nasprotno, bilo je lepo, sonno. Pred nami se je odpirala zelena planjava, tu in tam reda ovac. Peljali smo se skozi Ardrossan - prijazna in ista obmorska vasica, ki preko leta privablja neteto turistov. Na avtobusu smo zvedeli, da je imel na mladi ofer dan poprej svoj 33. rojstni dan. Zapeli smo mu "Happy Birthday". 2

e kaknih 20 km vonje in e smo prispeli v Maitland. Pohiteli smo naravnost v hotel kjer nas je po slovensko pozdravil gospodar hotela, rojak Emil Kregar. Pripravili so nam obilen "smorgasboard". Po obilnem obroku smo se malo pokramljali nato pa se vsak po svoje odpravili na sprehod, da se olaja tesnobo v elodcu, nekateri pa so poskusili sreo na "pokies". Zopet smo se vkrcali v avtobus, se mimogrede ustavili v Kadini, nato pa nadaljevali vonjo proti domu. Ko smo se bliali proti Adelaidi, nas je zopet zajel mestni promet, tako smo se le poasi kot pol pomikali proti klubu, zadovoljni in malce utrujeni. Mimogrede smo e zvedeli, da bo naslednji dan tudi Toni Zupani praznovala svoj rojstni dan, zato smo tudi njej zapeli "Vse najbolje". Hvaleni smo Slovenskemu klubu, e posebno predsedniku Ivanu Cafuta, da nam je zopet organiziral prijeten izlet. Do naslednjega izleta pa "sreno"! Lep pozdrav Vida Konina

Da ne bo kaknih nesporazumov: moj zgornji opis sprememb je poenostavljen, merodajno pa je edino uradno besedilo priloenega novega 3. lena uredbe!

DRAVLJANSTVA
Pozdravljeni, glede na to, da so se pomembno spremenila merila za ugotavljanje nacionalnega interesa pri sprejemu v dravljanstvo iz nacionalnih razlogov po 13. lenu Zakona o dravljanstvu Republike Slovenije (to je izredna naturalizacija za zamejce ter slovenske izseljence in njihove potomce), vam posredujem naslednjo informacijo, za katero prosim, da jo posredujete vsem zainteresiranim lanom: Glavne spremembe so: 1. praviloma je naturalizacija mogoa samo e za potomce do 2. Kolena (torej za osebe, katerih najve dedek/babica je bil Slovenec/Slovenka po obeh starih); prej je bilo do 4. kolena 2. aktivnost v drutvu najmanj 5 let in veletna osebna aktivna vez prosilca s Slovenijo; prej je bilo veletno aktivno delovanje v drutvu ali (temu primerljivo trajna in tesna) aktivna vez s Slovenijo (brez te 5-letne aktivnosti v drutvu lahko dravljanstvo dobi le tisti, ki je slovensko dravljanstvo e imel, pa mu je iz razumljivega razloga prenehalo) 3. e je to mogoe, mora prosilec priloiti tudi uradni dokument, v katerem se opredeli kot Slovenec po narodnosti (npr. izpisek iz posebnega volilnega imenika) - to je teoretino mogoe vsaj na Hrvakem in v Srbiji, opredelitve po narodnosti pa omogoajo tudi uradni rojstni listi v entiteti Republiki srbski v okviru BiH 4. DKP v postopku podaja priporoilo le e v tistih primerih, ko Urad za to izrecno zaprosi Nova uredba je priela veljati 15. dan po objavi, torej 4. aprila 2013. Vloge, ki so bile vloene do vkljuno 3. aprila 2013, bodo obravnavane e po starih merilih. Predlagam, da vse potencialne prosilce, ki bi se oglasili pri vas v drutvih, sproti seznanjate z doloili nove uredbe, saj so takse zelo visoke (354,00 EUR, e je vloga vloena na veleposlanitvu) in bodo tisti, ki ne izpolnjujejo novih pogojev, pa ne bodo dobili korektne informacije pred vloitvijo vloge, kasneje verjetno dvakrat alostni: zaradi morebitne negativne odlobe in zaradi izgubljenega denarja za takso. Na Uradu se nam torej zdi koristno, da se (poleg veleposlanitev) 3

New Criteria for Acquisition of Slovenian Citizenship through Extraordinary Naturalization

A new decree on criteria for establishing compliance with national interest requirements for acquiring the Slovenian citizenship in accordance with Article 13 of the Citizenship Act (Extraordinary Naturalization) was adopted. The provision of Article 13 allows for the granting of citizenship of the Republic of Slovenia to persons of Slovenian descent if this is in the interest of the country because of scientific, economic, cultural, national or similar reasons. The decree limits the applications for citizenship to individuals of Slovenian descent up to the second generation in direct descent. Moreover, the applicant will have to demonstrate a multiannual active connection with the Republic of Slovenia and a minimum of five year activity in Slovenian associations, schools of Slovene language or Slovenian expatriate, emigrant or minority organizations. The new criteria became effective from April 4, 2013.

Slovenian Mario Palusa was 26 and a half years old when he blew his first note on the trumpet. He was newly arrived in Australia in the mid 1950's and his musical journey had begun. A journey which would see him play music, in various groups, throughout Australia for the next 40 plus years. Mario played Avsenik's song Veer na Robleku live to air on channel 9 in the 1950's. This is probably the first time a Slovenian song was played on Australian television. Warning: this video contains some swearing.

Multicultural SA
I am writing to you to advise you of changes that will better position Multicultural SA to serve multicultural communities across South Australia. As of 15 May 2013, Multicultural SA will join with the Policy and Community Development Division of the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion (DCSI), under the leadership of Executive Director Sue Wallace. This move will align Multicultural SA with the Office for Youth, the Office for Volunteers and the Office for Carers, areas which share a primary focus on community engagement, grant funding and community and sector development. Importantly, these changes will result in efficiencies that will make available extra funding for multicultural grants to support communities. Multicultural SA's Interpreting and Translating Centre will join the Youth Justice, Community Engagement and Organisational Support Division of DCSI, under Executive Director Peter Bull. This will allow the Centre to take advantage of the business and administrative expertise within that Division. Overall, the changes will mean that Multicultural SA is better positioned to serve multicultural communities in South Australia, through greater access to new resources, knowledge and communities to influence across-government planning, including a greater reach into regional communities. Multicultural SA will continue to retain a distinct presence within the department and the wider community. Contact details remain unchanged, including the website, www.multicultural.sa.gov.au and email address [email protected]. Similarly, you can visit the Interpreting and Translating Centre's website, www.translate.sa.gov.au, or email [email protected]. Enquiries regarding the Multicultural Grants Scheme should still be directed to [email protected] If you have specific enquiries about these changes, please contact Sue Wallace on [email protected].

AVSTRALIJA PRIZNALA SLOVENSKA VOZNIKA DOVOLJENJA

Spotovani Slovenci in Slovenke v Avstraliji, z veseljem vas obveam, da je Avstralija s 1. majem letos priznala slovenska voznika dovoljenja. V skladu s predlogom o medsebojnem priznavanju voznikih dovoljenj med Republiko Slovenijo in Avstralijo je Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve Avstralije (DFAT) obvestilo Veleposlanitvo Republike Slovenije v Canberri, da od navedenega datuma naprej priznava slovenska voznika dovoljenja za "izkuene voznike", ki so dravljani Republike Slovenije in imajo stalno ali zaasno prebivalie v Avstraliiji. To pomeni, da lahko vsi vozniki, ki so dopolnili 25 let starosti ali ve in imajo veljavno slovensko vozniko dovoljenje (za avto ali motor, se pravi, Class C in Class R) ter ustrezni dokument o istovetnosti s strani drave ali teritorija, v kateri prebivajo, zamenjajo svoje slovensko vozniko dovoljenje za avstralsko brez dodatnega opravljanja teoretinega in praktinega preizkusa znanja vonje. Edina drava, kjer ta zamenjava trenutno e ni mogoa, je Queensland, ki bo svoje pravne postopke za priznavanje voznikih dovoljenj predvidoma dokonal sredi tega leta. V duhu vzajemnosti bo v kratkem tudi Republika Slovenija primerljivo uredila vse potrebno za to, da bodo lahko tudi dravljani Avstralije, ki stalno ali zaasno prebivajo v Sloveniji, zamenjali svoja avstralska voznika dovoljenja za slovenska (v prihodnje tudi za enotno vozniko dovoljenje drav lanic Evropske unije). "Izkueni vozniki", ki iz Slovenijo vstopajo v Avstralijo na podlagi permanentne vize, lahko z obstojeim voznikim dovoljenjem vozijo najve do treh mesecev po svojem prihodu v Avstralijo, potem pa morajo svoje vozniko dovoljenje zamenjati za avstralskega. Vsi tisti vozniki, ki e niso dopolnili 25 let starosti, bodo morali za pridobitev avstralskega voznikega dovoljenja e naprej opraviti teoretini in praktini preizkus znanja vonje. e bo takna oseba opravila omenjeni preizkus znanja, bo lahko slovensko vozniko dovoljenje zamenjala za avstralskega. Turisti in drugi gosti, ki bodo iz Slovenije obiskali Avstralijo na podlagi trimesene turistine vize, bodo lahko v tem asu uporabljali svoja slovenska voznika dovoljenja. Ker obiajno slovensko vozniko dovoljenje ni v anglekem jeziku, si mora voznik priskrbeti dodatno slovensko Mednarodno vozniko dovoljenje v anglekem jeziku ali overjen prevod svojega voznikega dovoljenja. e ve informacij si lahko pridobite na spletni strani Austroad-a: http://www.austroads.com.au/driverlicences/overseas-driver-lincences.

Z eno imata rada sproen ivljenjski slog. Prav zato jima je avstralski nain bivanja blizu: Avstralci so odprti, sicer pa na celini prebivajo ljudje, ki jih je prineslo z vseh vetrov. Druba je multikulturna, razmiljajo drugae. Sonce in morje pa vplivata na sproenost, je razpredal sogovornik. V Sloveniji je zaradi novega izziva pustil redno zaposlitev: Kot kuhar z iskanjem slube ne bom imel teav. To je poklic, ki se v Avstraliji ie. Vlogo za stalni vizum sta z eno vloila leta 2006, leto pozneje se je postopek uradno zael. Najprej morajo odobriti tvoj poklic, potem lahko nadaljuje urejanje vloge. Ena od zahtev so tiri leta delovne dobe v zadnjih tirih letih v tem asu dve leti v tvojem poklicu , kar preverijo prek Zpiza. Znanje angleine je treba potrditi s certifikatom. Preden ti odobrijo vizum, te aka e zdravniki pregled, je opisal birokratske zahteve, za katere je odtel priblino osem tiso evrov; v znesek so vtete vladne dajatve, aplikacija za vizum, agent, sodno prevajanje in overjanje uradnih papirjev. Najdraje so bile letalske vozovnice, za katere je druina porabila dodatnih 3600 evrov. Z eno sta pet let garala, da bi privarevala sredstva, s katerimi bi po najslabem scenariju lahko ivela priblino leto dni brez slube. Prve izkunje Projekt Avstralija se je asovno zavlekel zaradi gospodarske krize, ki je omejila vstop tujcev v dravo. Znala sva se v zaaranem krogu: akala sva na vizum in nisva vedela, ali bi doma popravljala hio, kupila novo pohitvo, avtomobil. Zakaj pa bi, e bomo ez eno leto odli, sva se ves as spraevala. Nisem si drznil zaenjati novih projektov. Rekla sva si, da poakava e eno leto e ne bo ni, narte prekineva in ne misliva ve nanje. Pa ne bomo li, je bil realen. Teave sta imela tudi z agentom, s katerim sta prekinila sodelovanje in ga nadomestila z agentko, ki je postopek uspeno konala. Odloitev o selitvi na toplo sta e na zaetku pozdravili tudi heri (stareja Nea je stara 17 let, mlaja Lea 13). Za zaetek sva se z eno strinjala, da bom jaz skrbel za dohodek, ona pa jima bo pomagala pri privajanju na novo okolje, je dejal Jaka. Mreo poznanstev je vzpostavil ob prvem obisku Avstralije pred tremi leti. Takrat je e pomagal v italijanski restavraciji, ki je postala ena od njegovih zaposlitvenih prilonosti. Prijatelji, kolegi in znanci so njegovo odloitev o odhodu v Avstralijo veinoma sprejeli negativno: Spraujejo me, zakaj grem, in pogosto odmahnejo z roko, e, kmalu se bo vrnil. V elji po boljem ivljenju jim bo poskual dokazati nasprotno.

Diplomirana ekonomista peeta hamburgerje

Avtor: Za Planet TV Erik Blatnik, A. O., 10.05.2013 Ljubljana - V Sloveniji je trenutno registriranih skoraj 121 tiso brezposelnih, prostih delovnih mest pa le slabih 800. V dani situaciji marsikomu ne preostane drugega, kot da se odloi za samostojno pot. Tako sta se znala Til Pleterski in Klemen Ptiak, diplomirana ekonomista, ki po konanem tudiju nista nala slube in pristala na Zavodu RS za zaposlovanje. Ker sta tudi tam ostala praznih rok, sta se pred pol leta odloila za lastno pot. Kot so poroali v oddaji Danes na Planet TV, sta kupila

Rising from the audience, Pahor said that he was in a way embarrassed witnessing an event dedicated to him and his work. "Such events happen when a writer is gone. Everything is so amiss in my life that this is amiss too," he said. Chairman of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SAZU) Joe Trontelj praised Pahor's courage and his upright and uncompromising stature, which he said contributed to a righteous condemnation of moral delusions of 20th century totalitarianisms. The words echoing from his works are "I accuse", the stories are a reminder of what happens when ideology merges with the desire for power, the academician said, adding that Pahor's writing was also a solid moral lecture in patriotism to Slovenians inside and outside Slovenia proper. Editorial director of publisher Bompiani Elisabetta Sgarbi sent in a written contribution themed "Pahor is Trieste", in which she describes how Pahor as a writer and man combines the features of Trieste as a city of diverse souls, experiences and knowledge, but with value added. "We'd like to hear new words from him to find a meaning in them that would bind together two centuries of European life and so that through his words we discover a further meaning for our chaotic existences," Sgarbi stated. French literary and film critic Jean-Luc Douin sent a message saying: "Despite doubt, despite faithful memory of the tortured fellow prisoners, despite the momentary conviction that he is no longer capable of being happy, for he stood on the threshold of a crematorium...Pahor still believes that desire and love can bring salvation. And he proves that too."

Tribute Paid to Writer Pahor Before His 100th Birthday

21 Apr 2013 / By STA, T. M. Boris Pahor's moral authority as a living witness to the horrors of 20th century totalitarianisms was highlighted at an all-day event in Ljubljana, which launched the celebration of the 100th birthday of this Trieste-based Slovenian writer.

Slovenians are proportionally the most likely nationality to own a home in Victoria
October 07, 2012 Boris Pahor A series of speakers paid tribute to Pahor at the Cankarjev dom arts centre at a symposium organised by the publishing house Mladinska knjiga as just one in a number of events in the run up to 26 August when Pahor celebrates his centennial. The publisher will mark the jubilee with the launch of a book entitled "Tako ivim" (The Way I Live), which will reminiscence on the events the writer experienced and survived. Growing up in Trieste, he witnessed the persecution of Slovenians by the Fascists before WWII, was imprisoned by the Nazis during the war and was banned from entering Slovenia by the Communists after publishing an interview in which fellow writer Edvard Kocbek spoke about summary post-war killings. Despite his hard life, Pahor "has remained as he was, in his own way and on his own path, which is unrepeatable" chairman of Mladinska knjiga Zaloba Peter Tomi said, adding that Pahor still had much to tell to contemporary readers and was still surprising them. SLOVENIANS are, proportionally, the most likely nationality to own a home in Victoria, Census data has revealed. With a local population of about 3,850 who are at least 20years-old the Slovenians are punching above their weight with 2,271 of their number (59 per cent) owning homes - topping a list of exclusively European ancestries with the highest rates of home owner ship per head of population. Robert Larocca from the Real Estate Institute of Victoria, who researched the figures, said buying a house helped commit new arrivals from Europe over the last century to a new country.

"It was a way of establishing their foundations in this nation as home ownership being equated with being here for the long term,'' Mr Larocca said. Frances Urbas-Johnson, President of the Slovenian Association Melbourne, said many in the Slovenian community had fled persecution and arrived in Australia wanting to ensure they provided for their families. 13

"With Australia having a lot of opportunities they wanted to create some stability for their families... they would buy their first home, they weren't worried about buying toys for their children and going on holiday,'' Ms Urbas-Johnson said.

Thursday on arrival at Saint-Nazaire.

Boeing 747, the brainchild of Joe Sutter. Dr. Edward Gobetz Professor Emeritus of Sociology, Kent State University; founding director of Slovenian Research Center of America; Slovenian American Times April 15, 2013 Matev Lenari prepares to land having flown over the North Pole in an ultra-light plane equipped to measure air pollution. The plane was equipped to measure air pollution over the North Pole - a hot-spot for global warming - and Lenari said all measurements had gone as planned. While flying over the Arctic, an important indicator of global weather changes, Lenari was surprised to note "temperatures on the actual North Pole were much higher than in surrounding areas". An accomplished aerial photographer, he took pictures and measured levels of black carbon and light-absorbing particles at a height of 3000-4000 metres, an altitude rarely explored by scientists. The particles - mostly the product of burning coal and other fossil fuels - absorb light from the sun and thus play a role in the complex equation of global warming. The 15,600-kilometre flight scheme was initiated last year after Lenari succeeded in circling the world in the same aircraft, the Slovenian made Pipistrel Virus SW914, which weighs just 290 kilograms unladen. The Virus SW plane is 6.5 metres long and has 10.7 wide wings. Empty it weighs 290 kilograms but can develop speed of up to 300 km/h. Lenari was the first person to circle the globe in an ultra-light aircraft without a copilot or additional air support in 2004. Flying the Pipistrel Sinus 912 UL aircraft, he also set a world speed record in the under 500 kilo category. During last year's flight, he became the first Slovenian to land on Antarctica and the first Slovenian to make a flyover of Mt Everest.

Slovenian ultra-light flyer Matevz Lenarcic completes Arctic voyage

May 27, 2013 Slovenian adventurer and environmentalist Matev Lenari has become the first person to fly an ultra-light plane from Europe to America and back over the North Pole. After two days waiting in France for favourable weather, Lenari took off from Saint-Nazaire earlier on Sunday and finally landed in Ljubljana.

Slovenian pilot, biologist, photographer, and adventurer Matev Lenari after flying over the North Pole in an ultralight aircraft. "I've had more trouble than I had expected, and that prolonged the expedition but what matters is that me and the plane have arrived safely," the 54-year-old told a crowd of well-wishers after landing in Ljubljana on Sunday. But his month-long journey was not all plain sailing. The trained biologist had to make an unscheduled stop in SaintNazaire, northwestern France, due to weather conditions and an Irish airport did not have the type of fuel required for his aircraft. But after two days waiting in France for favourable weather, Lenari took off from Saint-Nazaire earlier on Sunday and finally landed in Ljubljana from where he departed on April 22. "I've had many unexpected events. That is why this trip has taken 14 days longer than initially planned," Lenari said on 15

World's Oldest Wheel Home after Decade under Restoration

A decade after being discovered in Ljubljana's marshes, what is thought to be the world's oldest found wooden wheel will be displayed at the Ljubljana City Museum along with the appertaining axle. The wheel, dated 3,200 BC, was found in 2002 at an archaeological site some 20 kilometres south-west of Ljubljana.

The Slovenian pavilion at the ongoing Venice Art Exhibition, featuring the "For Our Economy and Culture" project by Jasmina Cibic, has received international praise. The ArtReview magazine has listed among the top 20 at the Biennale, while the British paper The Independent describes it as one of the highlights of the show.

It then took over ten years of painstaking work by experts at the laboratory of the Roman-Germanic Museum in Mainz for the exceptional find to be restored. Having a radius of 70 centimetres, the wheel is made of ash and oak. The aperture for the 120 cm long axle is square, which means that the wheel and the axis rotated together. Put on show for a day in 2003, the wheel attracted 3,000 visitors, which is why the museum hopes the present display will be well attended. The concept of the exhibition is unique in that it links prehistoric heritage and technological and scientific development with culture, art and even space. The wheel is the focus of a broader story about the prehistoric pile-dwelling culture living in the area, Culture Ministry heritage official pela Spanel told reporters ahead of the opening. Being the national UNESCO World Heritage coordinator, Spanel also discussed the importance of the serial nomination of the prehistoric pile-dwellings in the area around the Alps for the UNESCO listing. The first section of the show presents the wheel in its primary context, while the second section focuses on the wheel as one of the most important technological inventions and the third on the symbolic level. The broad concept of the show is meant to encourage visitors to reflect on the inseparability of science, art and heritage, the author Irena inkovec explained. Running until 20 April 2014, the exhibition is designed in such a way that it can travel to other European cities. A series of accompanying events will include ten smaller monthly displays and a light installation at Ljubljana Castle in the summer. The public broadcaster RTV Slovenija is shooting a film on the wooden wheel which is to be released in the autumn. Culture programme editor Maja Bahar said the film would show the wheel as the engine of humanity's technological development.

The Independent points to Cibic's exhibition as an example of the tension between national representation and artistic subversion that runs throughout the Biennale. Cibic has covered the entire interior of the Slovenian pavilion with wallpaper printed with images of a beetle named after Hitler. Discovered in a Slovenian cave in the 1930s, the beetle points to the acceptance of Fascism in the nation's past, the paper says. "From afar, the wallpaper appears elegant; up close, the walls appear to swarm psychedelically with vermin." Commissioned by The Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana, "Cibic's work is intelligent, humorous, and angry - a highlight this year", according to the paper. Praise for Cibic, who reshaped the entire pavilion into Slovenia's parliament house, also came from the Austrian daily Der Standard. The paper is excited about Cibic's concept, based on the questions of what state art is and what role the artist plays in it, as well as about the use of space in the project.
