thought would disappear if the state disagreed with it. Such a state would turn into a huge prison. Franko’s efforts to raise his nation from a “ragged mob” and create a nation with her own dignity and national culture did not succeed. Haly- chyna (Galicia), which at the time was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, did not espouse the aspirations of the Radical Party headed by Ivan Franko. Citizens of the empire, the people of Haly- chyna lived comparatively well and did not want to “rock the boat” or criticize and irritate Emperor Franz Joseph. Lacking support, the Radical Party became defunct. Franko agonized that Ukrainians lacked “iron”— the national consciousness needed to break through the wall of apathy and feelings of in feriority. Nonetheless, the desire for independence endured and prevailed—the movement toward liberation did not stop. Although Franko did not live to see an independent Ukraine, his ideals, perseverance, and hard work were part of the fabric of Ukraine’s ultimate success. Today, Ukraine is free and unchained from the yoke of slavery and has joined the family of free nations of the world as a sovereign, independent state. The program honoring Franko reflected the great man’s contributions to this success. One of the most famous of Franko’s poems, “The Stone- crushers” was dramatically and emotionally rend ered by Rostyslav Vasylenko. The musical segment of the concert consisted of several songs performed by “Promin,” a choral group under the direction of Bohdanna Wolanska. Two songs based on the words of Franko were sung by Bohdan Chaplynsky. Responding to requests from the audience, Mr. Chaplynsky, an operatic tenor, also performed an aria from the opera Turandot. Two of the Buniak sisters graced the musical portion of the program with two pleasantly harmonized a capella songs. The program ended with performers and the entire audience singing Franko’s “Ne Pora.” Closing the program, Natalia Zmyj thanked the performers for their participation and the audience for their support and invited all present to partake in a delicious assortment of sweets and coffee pre pared for the event. A TRAVEL PRIM ER by Ihor Magun, M.D., F.A.C.P. You have planned it for weeks if not for months—your perfect vacation. When you finally arrive at your dream destination, the last thing you want or need or expect is to have your well-earned vacation disrupted by illness or injury. Even worse, you are far from home. So are your medicine cabinet or a familiar pharmacy or a trusted physician that can handle the problem quickly. This situation can be particularly challenging if you are in a foreign country, don’t speak the language, and don’t know where to turn when you need help at 3 o’clock in the morning! Now what? As with most things in life, planning ahead for just such a scenario is best. To help you get started, I’ve put together a list of common medications and medical supplies that should be packed in your suitcase or stashed in your carry-on luggage along with a few good tips about preventing illness and making your vacation healthy and safe. The best place to begin is to purchase a few large Ziploc bags. Use one of these bags for medication, another for other small medical items, and the third as a waste bag or back up bag.
