19 maja 2008@polishnewsMożliwość komentowania Chicago Fire preparing for Wisła Kraków została wyłączona
The Chicago Fire are preparing for their international exhibition against Polish Orange Ekstraklasa (First Division) club Wisla Krakow on Wednesday, May 21. Kickoff is set to at 7:30 p.m. CT at TOYOTAPARK.
Fire forward Tomasz Frankowski is familiar with Wisla Krakow. The 33-year old spent the majority of his career (177 appearances) with Wisla, helping the club win five Polish Championships (1999, 2001, and 2003-05), two Polish Cups (2002 and 2003), and took home the title of top scorer three times (1999, 2001, and 2005).
Every Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the American men and women who have died in combat. With speeches and solemn ceremonies, we recognize their courage and valor. But one fact goes unacknowledged in our Memorial Day tributes: all too many of our soldiers have died unnecessarily–because they were sent to fight for a purpose other than America‘s freedom.
The proper purpose of a government is to protect its citizens’ lives and freedom against the initiation of force by criminals at home and aggressors abroad. The American government has a sacred responsibility to recognize the individual value of every one of its citizens’ lives, and thus to do everything possible to protect the rights of each to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness. This absolutely includes our soldiers.

17 maja 2008@polishnewsMożliwość komentowania Don’t chuck “busia” into the dumpster! została wyłączona
Often without knowing it, we come face to face with history, our own ancestral annals, when an elderly family member goes on to his or her reward. In addition to the property left behind by loved ones such as homes, furnishings and cars, they often leave a legacy of family souvenirs, keepsakes and mementoes. To some this may be little more than useless clutter, a bunch of junk to be dumped or incinerated as soon as possible. However, before that happens, one thing should be considered. Our ancestor must have considered these things valuable and priceless if he or she decided to hang on to them all these years. Doesn’t their wanton destruction amount to chucking “busia” (granny) into the dumpster?
Q: You wrote a while ago about hot Poland’s real estate market is and that means you can make a lot of money on real estate there. Here in the US the market is not good and it’s really hard to sell homes. Is the Polish real estate market still hot and can a Polish American get a piece of the action if he’s willing to invest? Please do not print my full name and address in the paper, because I still haven’t made up my mind on this.
A.S. St.Clair Shores, MI
A: Since mid-2007, when the market was really hot and some people were getting 100% returns and more on their investments within a year’s time, things have cooled off somewhat, but the market is still doing OK.

17 maja 2008@polishnewsMożliwość komentowania Port w Trójmieście – Historia Gdyni została wyłączona
Pierwsze zapiski historyczne dotyczące Gdyni, datują się od początku XIII wieku. Dzięki cennym wykopaliskom w samej Gdyni i w jej okolicy, istnieją dowody przedhistorycznej przeszłości osady, sięgającej młodszej epoki kamiennej. Od wczesnych lat epoki nowożytnej, osadę gdyńską zamieszkiwały ludy słowiańskie, z których wywodzą się późniejsi Kaszubi, czyli pierwsi mieszkańcy Gdyni.
W początkach wieków średnich, do Gdańska dochodził szlak handlowy wiodący z południowych regionów Polski, będący słynnym szlakiem jantarowym, którego przedłużenie wiodło przez Oliwę, Sopot, Gdynię oraz Puck.
