Seattle U. plans Mass for missing hiker
Mushroom expert Hildegard Hendrickson, 79, disappeared on a day hike near Lake Wenatchee on June 8, leaving family and friends of the former educator struggling emotionally.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Mass for missing mushroom expert
The Mass for Hildegard Hendrickson will be at 4 p.m. July 22, at the Chapel of St. Ignatius at Seattle University's main campus.
A Mass for missing mushroom expert Hildegard Hendrickson, 79, will be held next week at Seattle University as family, friends and former colleagues struggle with the lack of information about what happened to the popular former educator.
"It's a delicate situation. This is not a funeral," said the Rev. Peter Ely, SU's vice president for mission and ministry. "It's a way for us to come together and pray for her ... a way for us to support the family in prayer."
Hendrickson was last seen June 8 when she headed out alone on what was planned as a day hike to search for mushrooms in a mountainous area north of Lake Wenatchee in Chelan County.
An extensive search turned up no sign of the missing woman, prompting some who know her to wonder if she was the victim of foul play. Chelan County Sheriff Brian Burnett has said all possible scenarios are being explored.
Hendrickson taught at SU from 1967 to 1996 and served as chair of its department of economics and finance.
The Mass at Seattle U. follows a prayer vigil held Sunday evening at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, a service that prompted both smiles and tears.
"It was very nicely done ... trying to find the balance between hope and despair," said John Eshelman, a retired Seattle University professor and administrator who works in the university's development office.
Eshelman said Hendrickson could be brash, bold and, as a speaker at Sunday's service said, "feisty," but her direct, energetic approach earned admiration.
"She was always a favorite of the students," he said. "She wasn't easy; she was tough, but they really appreciated her."
Eshelman said his longtime friend was a pioneer, becoming one of the first women to receive a doctorate in business administration from the University of Washington.
Her disappearance stunned many who know her through the Puget Sound Mycological Society, a group of mushroom enthusiasts she joined in 1972.
Hendrickson, an expert in mushroom identification, held free weekly sessions at the Center for Urban Horticulture, in which she would identify mushrooms and help people ensure that any mushrooms they planned to eat were safe.
Dozens of members of the group helped in the search for Hendrickson, whose car was found, unlocked, at a trailhead, three days after her planned hike. Although she often hiked alone, members of the mushroom-hunting club said she seldom went far from her car.
The Mycological Society also recently held a prayer vigil for Hendrickson. About 120 attended, said the group's president, Marian Maxwell, a longtime friend of Hendrickson's.
"The hardest thing is not knowing anything," she said. "There's just this void of information."
Hendrickson, whose husband died in 2001, has two sons, both in the Seattle area.

Marijuana News in Arizona and World
Govt to Revoke Buying Marijuana with Welfare Money
Republicans in the House of Representatives have passed legislation this week which addresses the right-wing media's attempts to demean pro-marijuana programs through accusations that low-income Americans are using their government benefits in order to purchase marijuana.
There are currently two bills making their way through the Republican-heavy House which connects government assistance for low-income families with the legal purchase of marijuana. The Preserving Welfare For Needs Not Weed Act, which made its way to the House yesterday, hopes to stop the use of individuals using government granted cash cards provided by the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program in order to purchase marijuana from dispensaries. The No Welfare for Weed Act is a similar bill that was introduced by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), but instead hopes to ban the purchase of marijuana with food stamps (SNAP benefits).
These bills come as no surprise following the recent efforts by Fox News to blame impoverished Americans for using money from the government to purchase recreational marijuana. According to the National Review Online, "welfare beneficiaries withdrew thousands of dollars in public assistance cash from ATMs at weed shops" just after Colorado legalized recreational marijuana.
These are accusations that the conservatives have continued to push on the public. Republican Dave Reichert claimed, "We are seeing new abuses of these benefits. In these states, a person can walk into one of the newly opened pot shops and use their welfare benefit card to pay for pot…this isn't an idle concern. Reports examining welfare transactions in Colorado revealed over $5,000 in welfare benefits were accessed in stores selling marijuana in the first month such stores were open."
The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families blog has so far been unable to prove that any of this money has actually been used to purchase marijuana because many of the shops where the money was withdrawn sell products other than marijuana. Furthermore, many welfare recipients use marijuana as their medicine, so revoking their right to use their welfare money on marijuana is the same as stopping them from buying prescription drugs or herbal remedies.
Currently, Arizona's medical marijuana program provides a 50% discount to SNAP recipients for their medical marijuana card and many Arizona dispensaries also provide SNAP discounts.
New York state Senator Liz Krueger just revealed plans to introduce the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act in January which could very well lead to New York legalizing and taxing marijuana for adults as soon as 2015.
If the senator's bill passes, it would allow retail marijuana stores to open under the supervision of the State Liquor Authority. Adults 21 years and older would in turn be allowed to possess two ounces of marijuana for personal use as well as to grow up to six plants in their home.
New York has been in the medical marijuana news recently for becoming the 23rd state in the US to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes.
Krueger says that, "The real motivation for this bill comes from the fact that we have spent decades attempting to do prohibition and a war on drugs that has actually done nothing and is particularly ruining the lives of young people of color and having them go into the criminal justice system and come out with the kind of citations that limit their access to financial aid for college and exposes them to a criminal justice system that, frankly, I do not believe they should have been exposed to in the first place, for simply using a drug that is proved to be less dangerous than alcohol and tobacco. It is a win-win to decriminalize marijuana and regulate it and tax it."
Multiple States Voting this November to Legalize Marijuana
This November, residents in a few states will be voting on whether to legalize marijuana for adult recreational use, similar to Colorado and Washington. Voters in Alaska, D.C., Florida, and Oregon will decide the fate of recreational marijuana in their state.
Marijuana legalization is expected to pass into law in all these states. This is because of the many economic and health benefits that - Colorado and Washington have proven - come from the new industry. For instance, marijuana legalization generates millions in tax revenue and creates new jobs. As well, marijuana helps people find natural relief from many health ailments.
Arizona, Nevada and a possibly few other states plan to have marijuana legalization initiatives on their ballots in November 2016.
23 states and the District of Columbia currently have medical marijuana laws implemented. 11 more states have low-level THC medical marijuana laws. Most states that allow medical marijuana tax it through a general sales tax, just as over-the-counter medications are typically taxed.
The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), is a group that lobbies to end the prohibition of marijuana. They have campaigns to legalize marijuana with ballot initiatives in a number of states, including Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada. They are also helping with legislation efforts in New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
Colorado has reported that sales of recreational marijuana for the month of July have surpassed medical marijuana sales, marking the first time this has happened in the 9 months since recreational marijuana was legalized.
According to the Colorado Department of Revenue, customers bought $29.7 million worth of recreational marijuana, while medical marijuana sales came in at $28.9 million. Since retail sales first began, dispensaries have sold roughly $145 million of marijuana. When combined with medical marijuana sales, the state of Colorado has sold a staggering $350 million worth of marijuana since January 2014.
Over 55% of residents support Colorado's recreational marijuana movement.
A US congressman from Oregon has asked that the White House look into potential finance law violations due to allegations that money to fund the upcoming Oregon marijuana "education tour" about the dangers of legalizing marijuana might have been donated by the federal government.
Congressman Earl Blumenauer referred to the tour as a "smokescreen" put on by anti-marijuana activists on a federal level to deter Oregon residents from voting for legalization. Oregon will join Alaska and the District of Columbia this November to vote on whether or not to legalize marijuana for adults 21 and older.
Blumenauer wrote in his letter to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy that, "the bias of the speakers selected, the overall one-sided focus of the events and the proximity between these events and the upcoming election are cause for concern."
Although Oregon fell short of recreational legalization a couple of years ago when Colorado and Washington became the first states to allow it, they are now favored to pass the law come November.
A new report published this week by former world leaders states that drug use should be decriminalized and governments should look into the idea of broad scale legalization.
The Global Commission on Drug Policy's ideas are also shared by some of the leaders of the countries that have been most affected by the illegal drug market. They argue, that not only is the war on drugs pointless, it is also the main reason for the crime and violence it was originally set up to prevent.
Kofi Annan, the former United Nations secretary general says, "The facts speak for themselves. We need drug policies informed by evidence of what actually works, rather than policies that criminalize drug use while failing to provide access to effective prevention or treatment. This has led not only to overcrowded jails, but also to severe health and social problems."
A report in 2011 came to a similar conclusion, and even went so far as to suggest some recommendations for the policy currently in place. They feel that drug use and possession in regards to laws that disproportionately affect certain groups or minorities should be decriminalized. The report also suggests that experimental legalization, like in Colorado and Washington, should be done on a much larger scale in other countries. They believe that marijuana is a good place to start, but that it should not be limited there.
They go on to suggest that low level, non-violent drug dealers should not be sent to jail, but instead disciplined in a different and more humane way. The spokeswoman for the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, Cameron Hardesty, seems to agree on this point. She says, "We agree that we should use science-based approaches, rely on alternatives to incarceration for non-violent drug offenders, and ensure access to pain medications. Our goals are not so dissimilar from the goals of the Global Commission. However, we disagree that legalization of drugs will make people healthier and communities safer."
It will be great to see other states in the US following the example set by Colorado and Washington in the upcoming elections in regards to the recreational use of marijuana, as well as to see how Uruguay's model of nationwide marijuana legalization works out. One thing is for certain - the current policy has to change.
While the majority of Americans are coming around to the idea that marijuana can be valuable, whether it be for recreational or medical purposes, the opposition is looking to a team of researchers in hopes that they can scare and influence policymakers into continuing to believe that marijuana is a dangerous substance. They claim the lack of testing that has been done on marijuana makes it a risky alternative to modern medicine.
It appears a great number of these researchers are receiving compensation by some of the biggest names in the pharmaceutical industry to remain anti-marijuana. The main reason being that marijuana could easily take the place of some of these companies' highest grossing drugs.
Many credible doctors who have spoken publicly about the "dangers" associated with marijuana use are getting paid by large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturers such as Purdue Pharma, creator of the painkiller, OcyContin.
People in the marijuana field feel that some of these doctors' financial arrangements with big pharmaceutical companies should be considered a conflict of interest. Studies done on marijuana in association with pain relief have shown that it is a viable replacement for addictive opiates which mimic the effects of heroin. What they fail to mention, however, is that prescription painkillers are responsible for roughly 16,000 overdose deaths annually, while no one in recorded history has ever overdosed from marijuana use.
Nation magazine ran a story in July which stated that many of the largest anti-marijuana advocacy groups rely on funding from painkiller manufacturing companies such as Purdue Pharma. While these companies fill the general public's heads with skewed opinions, they take away from one of the biggest problems facing the US, which is the over-prescribing of painkillers.
Meanwhile these companies pump more and more painkillers into the hands of the unsuspecting American public every single day because the media often tells them that opioids are a safer alternative to using the all-natural remedy, marijuana.
NFL Likely to Ease Up on Marijuana Drug Policy
It appears the NFL will finally be looking towards changing their antiquated and overly severe drug policy. The NFLPA (NFL Players Association) will soon vote on some proposed changes to the NFL's current policy.
If the changes are accepted, there would be an increased threshold for any player that tests positive for marijuana. Nate Jackson, a New York Times contributor, who was also a former NFL tight end, says that he medicated with marijuana for the majority of his career and feels that the way Cleveland Browns star wide receiver Josh Gordon was treated is unfair.
Jackson goes on to say, "Gordon has marijuana in his system. He broke the rules. I understand that. But this is a rule that absurdly equates marijuana with opiates, steroids, and PCP. The NFL's threshold for disciplinary action for marijuana is 10 times higher than the one used by the International Olympic Committee."
This is a long time coming for the NFL to take a look at the way they handle marijuana across the league. Morgan Fox of the marijuana policy project sums it up best by saying, "The NFL's harsh marijuana penalties do nothing to promote the health and safety of the players."
Tucson Lifts Marijuana Cultivation Center Zoning Restrictions
The Tucson City Council voted to remove zoning restrictions on medical marijuana cultivation centers. Council members and advocates said the change will greatly benefit the city's economy.
Vicky Puchi-Saavedra, a Tucson dispensary owner, said the decision will help generate new marijuana industry jobs and improve revenue for the city because cultivation facilities can now be bigger than the previous 3,000 square-feet limit. Many Tucson dispensaries have been purchasing medical marijuana from Phoenix dispensaries, where there are no zoning restrictions, in order to keep up with demand. These Tucson dispensaries were nearly paying retail price, making it impossible to lower costs for their customers.
"It is like trickle down economics. You don't just hire a grower, you hire bookkeepers, you hire warehouse managers…" said Puchi-Saavedra. "Aside from the sales tax we are paying, city sales tax, so we are helping the city instead of moving our warehouse out of Tucson, back into Phoenix."
Councilwoman Karin Uhlich stated that Tucson area patients were suffering the consequences of strict marijuana cultivation regulations.
"Most of the product was being cultivated in Maricopa County and in the Phoenix area, which added cost to patients in our area," stated Uhlich. "And so we are really monitoring what is happening across the state as the law gets implemented and recognizing that being overly restrictive simply ads cost to patients in Tucson."

Compromise struck on sealing of juvenile-court records
State lawmakers have reached a compromise on a bill that would eventually lead to the sealing of "the great majority" of juvenile-court records. The bill is now on its way to Gov. Jay Inslee.
Seattle Times Olympia bureau
OLYMPIA — State lawmakers have struck a compromise on a long-debated bill that would pave the way for sealing "the great majority" of juvenile-court records, in the words of the proposal's prime sponsor.
The state House voted 97-1 on Tuesday to approve an amended version of House Bill 1651, after unanimous state Senate approval last Friday.
The legislation now heads to Gov. Jay Inslee, who is expected to sign it into law.
The new version, crafted after contentious negotiations, would no longer designate juvenile-court records as confidential but would make it easier and more automatic for such records to be sealed.
Courts would be required to hold sealing hearings on juveniles' 18th birthday or upon completion of the sentence if that comes later. Judges would be bound to seal the record if the minor completed the sentence; the crime was not a most serious offense, sex offense or felony-drug offense; and there was no compelling reason for it not to be sealed.
Courts would also have to automatically seal the record immediately upon acquittal or dismissal of charges.
Currently, residents can petition to seal juvenile records, including acquittal and dismissal records.
The compromise preserves open-juvenile courts, said sponsoring state Rep. Ruth Kagi, D-Lake Forest Park, on the House floor Tuesday. But at the same time, records "will be sealed for the great majority of youth turning 18," she said.
"The Legislature views juvenile records as unique," Kagi said. "They are not the same as adult records, and they need to be treated differently."
Kagi and others had pushed the bill by arguing state residents should not be punished their whole lives because of mistakes made as kids.
"It's great that we've found a way to make sure we're not holding people back for the rest of their lives," she said.
The House's lone dissenter, Kennewick Republican Brad Klippert, said he voted no because existing laws already protected people who wanted to seal juvenile records.
"The public has a right to know about these crimes," Klippert said.
Employers, landlords and newspapers had objected to the bill's original version but agreed to the compromise.
During the Senate floor debate, several senators said the idea had survived an intense, yearslong negotiation.
"This bill is the result of the best that process has to offer," said state Sen. Steve O'Ban, R-University Place, who sponsored the Senate amendment. "There was quite a bit of involvement, quite a bit of negotiation."

Blood pressure 124/64
LDL Cholesterol 111
Blood Glucose 87
Body Mass index 36.6 Well I'm down another 2.6 % this year. =)
My goals for next year are:
120 / 80 or below
Less than 100
The same or less
BMI = less than 25
Blood pressure 120/84
LDL Cholesterol 109
Blood Glucose 81
Body Mass Index 39.2 Well I'm down 1.3% from last year anyways!
Blood Pressure 134/90
LDL Cholesterol 120
Blood Glucose 74
Body Mass Index 40.5 I didnt pass this one thankfully I only had to pass 3 out of 4 =)
I'm going to use the next 10 days to prepare myself for being on track! So that Wednesday morning the 5th I will be 100% ready to go.
Here's my plan:
Go from 205-129 in 38 weeks
I'm going to do this by drinking 14-8 Ounce glasses of water everyday
I'm going to walk 5 Miles a day ( I'm planning to walk 2.5 in the morning and 2.5 in the evening ...hopefully this will keep me from eating bad.)
I'm going to do my official weigh in's every Saturday Morning and I'm going to post monthly pics of my progress
I'm going to keep my calories between 1200-1550
The only thing I am still battling in my head is that on Saturday nights I like to come home from work, hang out, have drinks and not worry about what I stuff in my mouth...and I'm afraid that I will undo my weight loss progress if I do that but, if I don't I can wind down from all my stress =(
For the last 2.5 years I have tried to lose weight slow so I could figure out how to maintain it but, now I'm ready to be at my goal...I really want to be there by the end of next May....I know I will have to work at it for the rest of my life but, I want to reach it by then...so It's time to put my Butt in high gear and get going. I've lost 51 pounds in the last 2.5 years and kept of 34 of them so I know if I kept it up for another 5-7 years I could get there eventually. =)
It's time to get into that all mentality and get it done!
Well, I thought I was going to wait until the beginning of September to get back on track in full swing ( I havent really stopped I've just been doing what I have too in order to maintian ...I'm ready to be in weight loss mode again )but, my body and mind has been telling me for a few days now it doesn't want to wait it is ready to go now! So I've decided to do a 30 day streak with food and exercise.
In 30 days I am headed for Missouri to Camp Lenard wood to see my husbands son graduate from Boot Camp when I get back I will have a week or 2 until my work contest starts back up (I'm going to win this time) .
Today I am making myself a food and exercise schedule to help me stay on track.
Even though I still struggle with my eating / exercise habits on a daily basis I have noticed that my all or no mentality is starting get a little better. I used to think that if I ate bad in the morning I might as well eat bad all day. Or if I knew that I was planning to eat something bad for dinner I would just eat crappy all morning too. And it didnt stop there if i ate bad on Monday I would then eat bad the entire week instead of starting fresh the next day. I have finally realized that 24 hours does not start at 12am and end at 12am the next day and that each week doesnt have to start with Sunday and end with Saturday.
So even though I am far from my goal .. being able to eat a bad meal and then not eat bad the rest of the day or miss a workout and be able to start the next day instead of the next week I feel that is a HUGE success for me! And important to my future maintenance.
Now if I could just figure out how to stop medicating with food for Anxiety and Stress?
June 13th 2012 -For the next week I am going to try something different to see if I lose weight or just maintain.
My plan:
Log my food Monday-Friday
Eat and drink whatever I want on Saturday and Sunday
Walk 18 Miles
I will report back next Wednesday with the results.
Current Weight
June 20th 2012 -So after I posted this blog I then started stuffing my face not stop and skipped my last workout for the week.
I'm going to try this again...and I will report back next Wednesday with the results.

About Ted or Pam Ponville
"A Peaceful Place To Visit"
The great Smokey Mountains National Park in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, is a peaceful place to visit. Looking through the eyes of nature the enjoyment and serenity of the forest is like a journey through space before entering the sacred gates of heaven.
Blue hazy smoke drifts lazily over the mountain tops like a blanket protecting a sleepy town. Towards the east, slowly peeking over the horizon, the rising sun views the waking park and unfolds like a majestic answer to an artist's dream.
Vividly rushing creeks meander along winding mountain roads to form roaring waterfalls that seem to perish like the ends of the earth.
Strolling through lush green forest, sweet chirping sounds float like a choir of angels singing.
This is proof that there is an almighty God and he does give you the desires of your heart. This was a paper I wrote in college in 1991, before we ever thought it was possible to achieve our dream of owning property.
Pam & Ted Ponville
Ted or Pam Ponville purchased this cabin in 2008
Why Ted or Pam Ponville chose Pigeon Forge
We came to the Great Smoky Mountains in 1977 for our honeymoon and fell in love with the area. Most of our family vacations were spent in this area. We always talked and dreamed of owning a log cabin one day and that dream became a reality.
What makes this cabin unique
Enjoying shopping for local crafts, outlet malls, antiques, & flea markets in the area. Plan a day to go ice skating at Ober in nearby Gatlinburg. We love to picnic in Cades Cove while enjoying nature & wildlife.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Thanks for the kind words about our cabin & the Fire Flies, that is the best part of the day in the summer for enjoying the sunset on the deck. We always try to make our guest feel as if our home is there home. It has been a blessing to have your family as our guest. We believe God gave us this cabin, so that we can be a blessing to others. Thanks again and hope to see you'll soon.

THE BURGENLAND BUNCH NEWS - No. 248
October 31, 2014, © 2014 - The Burgenland Bunch - all rights reserved
Editor: Thomas Steichen (email: email@example.com)
Archives at: BB Newsletter Index
Our 18th Year. The Burgenland Bunch Newsletter is issued monthly online. It was founded by Gerald Berghold (who retired Summer 2008 and died in August 2008).
Current Status Of The BB:
* Members: 2288 * Surname Entries: 7495 * Query Board Entries: 5379 * Staff Members: 17
This newsletter concerns:
3) HIANZISCHTHE UI-DIALECT (by Wilhelm Schmidt)
- ANSWER TO TAX QUESTIONS (the "Dica") - from Albert Schuch
8) BURGENLAND EMIGRANT OBITUARIES (courtesy of Bob Strauch)
1) THE PRESIDENT'S CORNER (by Tom Steichen)
Concerning this newsletter, after the bits and pieces here in my "Corner," our first full-length article contains reader reactions to last month's transcription and translation of An 1885 Family Document. It prompted a variety of responses!
Article 3 provides background into the nature of the Hianzisch, or more formally, the ui-Dialect, explaining its origins in other languages while describing the nuances that cause it to be a distinct dialect. It is the first such exposition I have seen and we have Wilhelm Schmidt to thank for it!
Article 4 discusses an online book, the Historisches Ortslexikon (Historical Gazetteer) put out by the Vienna Institute of Demography (part of the Austrian Academy of Sciences). It contains historical population data, along with substantial documentation to support the numbers. If you wish to best understand your emigrant ancestral villages, you should take time to read this article, access the book and then ponder the data for your villages.
In Article 5, I present an admittedly bemused look at a 1989 Burgenland Bank Advertisement. I cannot imagine that such an ad would be allowed today and, truly, I was surprised it was allowable in 1989... but read it for yourself!
The remaining articles are our standard sections: Historical Newsletter Articles, and the Ethnic Events and Emigrant Obituaries sections.
Follow-ups to "Day of the Siege" Movie Review: BB Member Nina Egert wrote to comment on the important September 11, 1683 date and to correct (tongue in cheek) my "misinterpretation" ...she writes: "re 1683, tis a date that should place gratitude in the hearts of us all---it gave rise to the first coffee house in Vienna."
She then quotes from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_coffee):
The real first coffeehouse in Austria opened in Vienna in 1683 after the Battle of Vienna, by using supplies from the spoils obtained after defeating the Turks. The officer who received the coffee beans, Polish military officer of Ukrainian origin Jerzy Franciszek Kulczycki, opened the coffee house and helped popularize the custom of adding sugar and milk to the coffee. Melange is the typical Viennese coffee, which comes mixed with hot foamed milk and a glass of water.
Other Wikipesia pages of interest on this topic are:
Beyond those, I also stumbled on some additional books and dissertations, which I have added,
bringing the village book count to 199 (some books cover more than one village and quite a few villages have
multiple books, resulting in an actual village count of 178). Adding in the church book count of 14, and the
regional book count of 16 gives a total of 229 Chroniks! (We also list books for a few bordering Hungarian
I thought this story might be of interest to your members. It is available in paperback, Kindle and various
other digitalized formats through Amazon and my web site
Last month we gave a transcription and translation of Bob Chapman's handwritten but official German-language family document from Lébény, Hungary. That spurred a number of worthwhile comments, which I'll present here. First, I'll display the document in question again:
...and then present our final transcription and our two translations:
As I noted last month, the second translation is the more word-for-word literal translation and, in general, was
the one I found most satisfactory... however, I preferred the first translation for the phrase "in hiesiger
Gemeinde die Zuständigkeit besitzt" (has home rights in this town).
My first reaction is that Matt's document is quite similar to Bob Chapman's, both in content and tenor, as translated. I did not study it carefully (and still have not, though I invite all interested readers to do your own transcription and translation) but I will note that the word Zustandigkeit is present in the document. Instead, I'll quote the part of my reply to Matt that answered his question concerning an útlevél:
Hi Matt, ...As for similarity to an útlevél (which is the Hungarian word for passport), it is not similar at
all. Passports were issued by either the government of Austria or of Hungary, but not by a local village. However, a
Zeugnis likely was needed to qualify for a passport (as well as having proof that your military service obligations
and any debts had been satisfied).
"So it appears that a passport was not a formal requirement for emigration in 1888."
3) HIANZISCHTHE UI-DIALECT (by Wilhelm Schmidt)
I learned Hianzisch as a toddler. During the first five years of my life, I heard little else spoken. As far as I know, all the people in my home village Pernau, Pornóapáti also spoke Hungarian. But I only learned a few words of it. In my Meltsch grandparents' household, only Hianzisch was spoken.
I knew that the dialect was called Hianzisch from the time I was small. I learned that it was referred to as the ui-dialect only after I began researching my genealogy and the history of my home village. I came across discussions of the dialect, which identify it as a form of Bavarian, with the ui diphthong (double vowel) as its distinctive feature.
Further reading taught me how German itself developed. It is an Indo-European language, of which there are two basic types, usually distinguished by the word for hundred in each: satem and centum. The first group includes Sanskrit, Iranian and Greek; the second Italian, Celtic and German.
German separated from the other languages in the centum group by undergoing a consonant shift. The consonants d, b, and g were replaced by t, p and k. For example, the word for ten in Latin is decem, in Old German, it is ten. The shift occurred well before the time of Christ, and characterizes the languages of northern continental Europe: Dutch, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian. The Angles and Saxons brought it to England. It was also the form of German spoken by the Goths, Suevians, and Vandals. In Gothic, for instance, ten is taihun.
A second consonant shift occurred in the southern part of present-day Germany around 500 AD, when the Celts living there at the time adopted German. In this shift, z or ss replaced t, pf or f replaced p, and ch or h replaced k. Ten, for instance, came to be pronounced zehn. This shift was studied by the Grimm brothers, the same that collected German fairy tales.
This second consonant shift led to a change in the pronunciation of the vowels, especially in Bavarian. Sometimes the vowels are stretched Hase (rabbit) to Haas. Sometimes they are turned into diphthongs Herz (heart) to Heaz. The umlauts in German are also turned into diphthongs müde (tired) into miad. The actual German diphthongs are given different pronunciations: Ei (egg) becomes Oa. While German has only three diphthongs, Bavarian has twenty-four.
But not even Bavarian contains the ui- diphthong. Curiously, this diphthong does appear in dialects derived from Bavarian, such as Tyrolean and Styrian perhaps due to the influence of Romance languages, in which there are words containing it. But even in these languages and dialects, it is not as pervasive as it is in Hianzisch. In Hianzisch, u is invariably elongated to ui: Mutter to Muida, Bub to Bui, Schuhe to Schui. Dozens of examples could be given. An o within a word is similarly transformed: Holz to Huilz; as is ie: schiessen to schuissn. Ui is also used by itself as an exclamation.
To me, nonetheless, the ui- diphthong is not its defining feature. It is its mellifluous sound, which has been referred to as the singing of the Burgenländer. Hianzisch is spoken mostly with the cavity of the mouth. Consonants, produced at the front and the back of the mouth, are softened or even dropped. Pernau is pronounced Bernau. The dropped letters are r and g: Vater (father) Voda, and genug gmui. The harshest sound in the dialect is ts, as in hiaz (now).
The dialect engenders the generally cheerful disposition of its speakers. Singing and dancing and a little juizn comes natural to them. I can't carry a tune or play a musical instrument, and I have two left feet. But I am temperamentally upbeat, something I attribute to being a Hianzer.
I discovered an interesting pdf document concerning Burgenland on the website for the Vienna Institute of Demography of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (the particular page is http://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/research/histortslexikon.shtml). This page contains information about, and links to, the various parts of the online "Historisches Ortslexikon: Statistische Dokumentation zur Bevölkerungs- und Siedlungsgeschichte" (Historical Gazetteer: Statistical Documentation on Population and Settlement History). This is a multipart web publication that documents the historical settlement history and population counts for the states, counties, districts and villages of Austria.
The pdf link for the Burgenland part is: http://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/download/histortslexikon/Ortslexikon_Burgenland.pdf
Also of interest is the introductory section (link entitled "Erläuterungen zum Historischen Ortslexikon" [Notes to the Historical Gazetteer]), which can be found at http://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/download/histortslexikon/Ortslexikon_Einfuehrung.pdf. It contains an introduction to and explanation of the Ortslexikon, as well as an Appendix that has the Austria-wide data, a list of references and, most importantly, an explanation of the many abbreviations and notations used.
While the document
is in German, the key portions are simply numbers, so understanding the raw data is not difficult... that is,
assuming you also understand the abbreviations and notations that modify their basic meanings.
What you see above is a typical layout of the data. The village name is bolded then the standard population data
follows in the same-sized but not bolded text.
What I want you to notice here are the three named entities appended, with no intervening blank line, to the
Halbturn entry (Albert-Casimir, Pfingsttagsmarkt, and Wittmannshof OB).
This entry starts out with cryptic line: "22 Urlehen (1510)."
Urlehen are the farms and
lands as subdivided or assigned when the original settlement was created. Farms that were added later (e.g., by
expanding the settlement, were not Urlehen). Terms Urhöfe and Urhuben can also be used.
Urhöfe refers to a "full or whole"
Urlehen, and is often used interchangeably
with Urlehen; however, Urhuben refers
only to a "half" Urlehen/Urhöfe.
Thus the interpretation is that Wallern was established (founded) in 1510 with 22 original "whole" farms.
The second is a list of commonly used words and phrases, complete with a translation to English:
While looking for something else (as I so often do), I stumbled across a bank advertisement in the Newsletter of the Burgenländische Gemeinschaft (page 14 of the MAI/JUNI 1989 edition). I found it to be both interesting and curious, at least based on our 2014 banking standards.
As you can note from the thumbnail to the right, it is a full-page ad presented in English. The header and trailer text are large enough in the thumbnail so you can read them there... but the main text is too small, so I have extracted and reprinted it below. Clearly, the ad was targeted at Americans with money (given the choice of English and topic).
I found it interesting for a number of reasons. First, there is the obvious pride in the bank's evolution from local savings and loan cooperatives to a full-fledged international bank system (c. 1989) that still handles the daily local transactions, as shown in the initial paragraphs. Then there is the curious third paragraph, concerned with bank secrecy and tax avoidance! The next paragraphs lay out why 1989 Burgenland is a great place to invest and why Raiffeisen is the bank to do it through. Lastly, it mentions its real estate subsidiary that offers Burgenland apartments, properties and land for sale... they will even carry out construction for you.
I wonder how many BG readers took them up on their offer of banking help?
Here is the ad text:
The past decades have left their mark also on the Raiffeisen cooperatives. Over the years the former savings associations and loan banks have become modern universal banks that give financial advice to people from Burgenland in all their day-to-day money transactions.
Wherever you live in Burgenland, at Stegersbach, Heiligenkreuz, Eberau or Jennersdorf, you just go to your local Raiffeisen bank und they will handle all your money transactions for you, no matter whether you intend to raise a loan, open a savings account, cash a cheque, convert dollars into schillings or place a buy order for IBM shares on the New York Stock Exchange. Clients may base their decisions on the current stock exchange prices, which their local Raiffeisen bank, in collaboration with Raiffeisenlandesbank Burgenland, the regional clearing bank at Eisenstadt, routinely offers them via Reuters.
You may open a securities account with a Raiffeisen bank, either in your name or anonymously, using a password of your choice (e. g., "Neusiedler Lake"). Nobody will want to know your name when you make your investment in any international currency you choose. And we would like to draw your attention to the fact that Austria is internationally among the countries with the tightest banking secrecy, which is even better than in Switzerland, for instance. In no case are we allowed to pass on information to the tax authorities.
There are a good many reasons why an investment in Austria, and particularly in Burgenland, is an easy and promising undertaking: a favourable tax situation, no strikes, a sufficient number of qualified people, state subsidies for newly established companies and companies settling in Austria, as well as Burgenland's importance as a "gate to the Eastern bloc".
As a member of the UNICO Banking Group Raiffeisen has widely-branched international ties, which are a great asset to the clients and partners of Raiffeisen Burgenland.
The Raiffeisen Banking Group alone has a Province-wide network of about 170 outlets in Burgenland; all types of banking transactions can therefore be carried out in almost any village of Burgenland - in some cases with the support of Raiffeisenlandesbank Burgenland, the regional head institute in Eisenstadt, the Provincial capital.
Raiffeisen Burgenland offers its services to clients at close to 170 places in the Province. A special type of services is provided by the Raiffeisen subsidiary "Neue Eisenstädter", a nonprofit housing company, which sells freehold flats and flats let for rent, finds plots, and supervises and carries out the construction work. The company also accepts orders from overseas countries.
It is no longer a secret that building and living in Burgenland is getting increasingly attractive; this is, above all, due to the facts that building plots are rather cheap, housing costs low and the infrastructure is good.
Editor: This is part of our series designed to recycle interesting articles from the BB Newsletters of 10 years ago. We do this, of course, because we continue to attract new members to the BB, who likely have not read these old articles (they are in our Archive section) and because the articles are simply worth reprinting again (as some of us older members may have forgotten their content!).
For this month, however, I did not find a suitable article from ten years ago, so I've stepped back further, to February 1998. I chose this article because the word "porta" is key to the content of this historical article and also appears in Article 4 above... and this article is a much more complete explanation than I was able to provide in Article 4. Enjoy!

ANSWER TO TAX QUESTIONS (the "Dica") - from Albert Schuch
We have the Income Tax--our ancestors had the "Dica" -- among others.
Concerning the "Dica": I wrote earlier that I thought the amount of this tax varied constantly depending on decisions of the "Reichstag" (parliament, also called "Landtag"; only the nobility and ranking clergy were members). Below you'll find a short extract (translated) of an article on the Hungarian tax system in 1780 that hopefully will shed a little more light on this question.
Source: Heinrich Marczali: Ungarns Steuersystem im Jahre 1780. In: Ungarische Revue 1882, p. 235-254.
Noblemen didn't have to pay taxes, so when in 1715 the Hungarian parliament pledged a permanent contribution to the cost of the Austro-Hungarian army, this was to be paid by the citizens of the free towns, and by the farmers and workers living in the villages. This "war tax" amounted to 2.1 million florins in 1724 (for the whole country), it rose to 2.5 million florins in 1728-9, to 3.2 million florins in 1751, to 3.9 million florins in 1765, and to around 4.4 million florins in the early 1880's. This was not considered to be a large sum, but the peasants had to pay in cash, and cash was scarce. The parliament just made the overall decision on the total tax. In subsequent negotiations (called "rectificatio portarum") it was up to each county (Comitat, Megye) to keep its share of "portae" as low as possible. The traditional tax unit was called "porta" (an equivalent of 688 florins, 50 Denars [note: 60 denars/florin]), "porta" having long lost its original meaning of "farm (house)" (in German: "Hof") [ED: porta being Latin for gate/gateway; the modern English word portal being derived from the Latin form also].
In order to further divide the tax liability among the communities and individuals, an artificial tax unit named "Dica" was created. The farmer, his family, his cattle, his land, his agricultural products etc. were all measured in equivalents of a "Dica" or a part of a "Dica". The price of labor and agricultural products varied considerably from Comitat to Comitat, and thus so did the money equivalent of a "Dica". In places where people could sell their products easily, the tax was relatively high. This applied to all Comitats at the Austrian border, because the Austrian, especially the Viennese market was close, the soil was fertile, and population density was high. The western and also the northern Comitats (now mostly Slovakian territory) had to pay relatively many "portae", and the money equivalent of a "dica" was relatively high.
Apart from this war tax, the people also had to pay the "Domesticalsteuer", a tax covering the cost of the Comitat and community administration, amounting to approximately 1/5 to 1/4 of the war tax. In Comitats with a large population, the individual share was smaller. Marczali gives a few interesting figures for the Ödenburg (Sopron) Comitat, but he doesn't say to which year they apply. I guess it would be for 1780 (I conclude this from the title of the article).
The whole Comitat Sopron had to pay 127,371 "dica", and the money equivalent of one "dica" was 1 florin, 33 kreuzer (note: 60 kreuzer/florin) war tax and 37 kreuzer domestic tax. 3/4 of the tax had to be paid in the winter, since the farmers were expected to have money from the sale of cattle and corn at this time of the year.

First, Jimmy Fallon gave the late-night television world lip-syncing battles, and now he's giving them "nip-syncing." The Tonight Show host was joined by a shirtless and oiled-up Terry Crews for a skit that involved the two men singing to Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder's "Ebony and Ivory" while attempting to sync up their pectoral twitching. Watch the hilarious bit above and, before you ask, no, that's not Jimmy's real body.

Summer unofficially begins Memorial Day weekend in Ocean City
Written by Claire Lowe Thursday, May 23, 2013 06:45 am
|< Prev
|Next >
OCEAN CITY — It's time to break out the bathing suits and the sun screen, buy some beach tags and head down to the beaches in Ocean City as summer unofficially begins on Memorial Day weekend at the Jersey Shore.
The festivities kick off with the Unlocking of the Ocean and Businesspersons Plunge. At noon on Friday, May 24, at the Moorlyn Terrace beach, participants dress in business suits, carry brief cases and march into the ocean to the tune of "Pomp and Circumstance" to welcome the new season. A giant key in the sand is turned to signify the ocean is open for the summer.
And let's not forget the reason for Memorial Day: To honor those who have died serving in the United States Armed Forces. A perfect way to pay tribute to these brave men and women is the inaugural Stand Up 4 SEALS event.
Stand Up 4 SEALS, an organization dedicated to raising funds for fallen Navy SEALS and other special forces, have selected Ocean City for its first Beach Adventure Race, which includes an obstacle course for adults and a sand challenge run for kids under 10, Saturday, May 25. The Memorial Day weekend event also features a stand up paddle board challenge. Events start on the Fourth Street beach at 7:30 a.m. Teams and individuals interested in participating should see www.StandUP4SEALS.com or contact Kristen Gallagher at 610-401-1510.
On Monday, May 27, Ocean City's annual Memorial Day service will begin 11 a.m. at Veterans Memorial Park, Sixth Street and Wesley Avenue. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be moved indoors to the Ocean City Tabernacle, across the street from the Park.
Other weekend events:
Miss CMC and Cape Resort pageants seeking contestants
Flea market and hoagie sale
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, 30th Street and Bay Avenue, will host a flea market and hoagie sale 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, May 25. Tables are available. Call 399-1019 to reserve.

Meanwhile Delenn came increasingly into conflict with her own people and, paralleling her relationship with Sheridan, Garibaldi became involved with his ex-fiancée Lise Hampton (Denise Gentile), while an intense platonic love grew between Ivanova and Marcus Cole. On an unstoppable wave fuelled by roller-coaster plot twists and spectacular action shows from "No Surrender, No Retreat"--when Sheridan avows to overthrow EarthGov--to "Rising Star"--when the aim is realized--Babylon 5 achieved a consistent excellence rare in television. Yet within that run "Intersections in Real Time" stood out as a bold experiment; essentially a two-hand drama taking place entirely within one dimly lit room. Beyond this a major character died and Sheridan and Delenn married before the season finale again broke with expectation. In "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars," a future descendant of humanity one million years hence reviews excerpts from the history of Babylon 5. In one sequence set in 2762, a Brother is devoted to the preserving of history some time after the "Big Burn." A homage to Walter M. Miller's classic A Canticle for Leibowitz, Sheridan and Delenn have themselves become the stuff of legend. --Gary S. Dalkin

He's lucky enough to have a Final Salary scheme, and I'd benefit whatever happens, so I'm counting it as mine too. God forbid, but if he goes before me I'd get half his entitlement plus his contributions (5% x 25 years of salary) plus 4 x his current salary. No consolation, but it would help me out with the mortgage and loans and living expenses and we've discussed it, so life will hopefully go on. Not in any meaningful sense, obviously.
Legal & General are one of the leading pension providers and it is easy to see why. Well tried and tested. They were recommended and I am glad I followed this up. Very efficient and quick service. Their quote was the best one with the best conditions. All documentation was simple and clear to follow and understand. Since setting this up, all payments have been regular and correct. I feel my pension is in safe hands and when I have made telephone queries, they have been answered quickly and to my satisfaction. There is a pension maze out there, with so many companies bidding to manage your hard earned savings and pension. I can only say from experience and past insurance dealings, that Legal & General are very reliable and trustworthy. Why not ask for a quote and/or advice or a meeting with no obligations?
I took this out about two years ago when annuity rates were dropping and dropping and thought best do it now before it's worthless. Annuities are so unfair. The rates are pathetic but the fat cats have their big London offices. Thank goodness people nowadays have real flexibility. I'm doing drawdown on my other pension which has a bit more flexibility.
I currently have a Pension through my employer with Legal and General , I've only been with them for the past 4 years , I pay my contributions monthly and the company also puts in a generous amount . I'm kept informed regularly with statements and correspondence explaining my expected final Monies with regards to new terms or benefits. So I cant comment on the long term . It's a Stakeholders Pension and the more you put in the better the end result

That's why we're committed to providing parents with the support they need to help us boost math achievement in Peel. Learn more: http://www.peelschools.org/parents/helpyourchild/math.
