Greek Trinity Bread

(NC)—This traditional Greek Easter bread gets its name from its shape: three loaves joined together,surmounted by a cross, represent the Trinity. Greek tradition has it that the bread is not to be cutuntil the family is seated at the Easter dining table; and that each person present should get onethin slice from each of the three loaves.

Makes 1 loaf.Dough3 to 3 – 1/2 cups all-purpose flour1/4 cup sugar2 envelopes Fleischmann’s Quick Rise Yeast1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon anise seed1/2 cup water1/3 cup butter or margarine2 large eggs1 egg yolk, reserve white for Egg Glaze1 cup golden raisinsEgg Glaze1 egg white1 tablespoon water

DirectionsIn a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, salt, and anise seed. Heat water andbutter until very warm (120o to 130oF/50º to 55ºC). Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutesat medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs, egg yolk, and 1 cup flour;beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightlygreased surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.Remove about 1/4 dough; reserve. Knead raisins into remaining dough; divide into 3 equal pieces.Form each into smooth ball; arrange on greased baking sheet in the shape of a three-leaf clover.Divide reserved dough into 4 equal pieces; roll each to 25-cm rope. Twist 2 ropes together; pinchends to seal. Repeat with remaining ropes. Arrange twisted ropes on clover in the form of a cross,tucking ends under. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.Brush surface with Egg Glaze.

Dear Sir,

I opened the January/February issue ofArchaeology today and eagerly turned to “ALetter from Macedonia” only to discover thatit was actually a letter from ancient Paionia –the land north of Mt. Barmous and Mt.Orbelos. Livy’s account of the creation ofthe Roman province of Macedonia (45.29.7and 12) makes clear that the Paionians livednorth of those mountains (which form todaythe geographically natural northern limits ofGreece) and south of the Dardanians whowere in today’s Kosovo. Strabo (7. frag 4) iseven more succinct in saying that Paionia wasnorth of Macedonia and the only connectionfrom one to the other was (and is today)through the narrow gorge of the Axios (orVardar) River. In other words, the landwhich is described by Matthew Brunwasser inhis “Owning Alexander” was Paionia inantiquity. While it is true that those people weresubdued by Philip II, father of Alexander, in359 B.C. (Diodorus Siculus 16.4.2), they werenever Macedonians and never lived inMacedonia. Indeed, Demosthenes (Olynthian1.23) tells us that they were “enslaved” by theMacedonian Philip and clearly, therefore, notMacedonians. Isokrates (5.23) makes the samepoint. Likewise, for example, the Egyptianswho were subdued by Alexander may havebeen ruled by Macedonians, including thefamous Cleopatra, but they were neverMacedonians themselves, and Egypt was nevercalled Macedonia (and so far as I can tell doesnot seek that name today). Certainly, as Thucydides (2.99) tells us, theMacedonians had taken over “a narrow stripof Paionia extending along the Axios riverfrom the interior to Pella and the sea”. Onemight therefore understand if the people inthe modern republic centered at Skopje calledthemselves Paionians and claimed as theirs theland described by Thucydides.

But why, instead, would the modern peopleof ancient Paionia try to call themselvesMacedonians and their land Macedonia? Mr.Brunwasser (p. 55) touches on the Greekclaims “that it implies ambitions over Greekterritory” and he notes that “the northernprovince of Greece is also called Macedonia.”Leaving aside the fact that the area of thatnorthern province of modern Greece has beencalled Macedonia for more than 2,500 years(see, inter alios, Herodotus 5.17; 7.128, et alibi),more recent history shows that the Greekconcerns are legitimate. For example, a mapproduced in Skopje in 1992 (Figure 1) showsclearly the claim that Macedonia extends fromthere to Mt. Olympus in the south; that is,combining the ancient regions of Paionia andMacedonia into a single entity. The sameclaim is explicit on a pseudo-bank note of theRepublic of Macedonia which shows, as one ofits monuments, the White Tower ofThessalonike, in Greece (Figure 2). There aremany more examples of calendars, Christmascards, bumper-stickers, etc., that all make thesame claim. Further, Mr. Brunwasser has reported withapproval (International Herald Tribune 10/1/08) the work of the “Macedonian Institute forStrategic Research 16:9”, the name of whichrefers “to Acts 16:9, a verse in the NewTestament in which a Macedonian manappears to the Apostle Paul begging him:‘Come over into Macedonia, and help us.’”But where did Paul go in Macedonia?Neapolis (Kavala), Philippi, Amphipolis,Apollonia, Thessaloniki, and Veroia (Acts 16:11-17:10) all of which are in the historicMacedonia, none in Paionia. What claim isbeing made by an Institute based in Skopjethat names itself for a trip through what wasMacedonia in antiquity and what is thenorthern province of Greece today? I wonder what we would conclude if acertain large island off the southeast coast ofthe United States started to call itself Florida,and emblazoned its currency with images ofDisney World and distributed maps showingthe Greater Florida. Certainly there was no doubt of theunderlying point of “Macedonia” in the mindof U.S. Secretary of State Edward Stettiniuson December 26, 1944, when he wrote:

“The Department [of State] has noted withconsiderable apprehension increasing propa-ganda rumors and semi-official statements infavor of an autonomous Macedonia, emanat-ing principally from Bulgaria, but also fromYugoslav Partisan and other sources, with theimplication that Greek territory would beincluded in the projected state. This govern-ment considers talk of Macedonian “nation”,Macedonian “Fatherland”, or Macedonian“national consciousness” to be unjustifieddemagoguery representing no ethnic norpolitical reality, and sees in its present revivala possible cloak for aggressive intentionsagainst Greece.”[Source: U.S. State Department, ForeignRelations vol viii, Washington, D.C., Circular Airgram(868.014/26Dec1944)]

Mr. Brunwasser (a resident of Bulgaria),however, goes on to state, with apparentdistain, that Greece claims “Alexander III ofMacedon (Alexander the Great) . . . as Greek.” This attitude mystifies me. What is there to“claim”? Alexander’s great-great-greatgrandfather, Alexander I, was certified asGreek at Olympia and, in the words of thefather of history “I happen to know that [theforefathers of Alexander] are Greek”(Herodotus 5.22). Alexander’s father, Philip,won several equestrian victories at Olympiaand Delphi (Plutarch, Alexander 4.9; Moralia105A), the two most Hellenic of all thesanctuaries in ancient Greece where non-Greeks were not allowed to compete. IfPhilip was Greek, wasn’t his son also Greek? When Euripides – who died and was buriedin Macedonia (Thucydides apud Pal. Anth.7.45; Pausanias 1.2.2; Diodorus Siculus 13.103) –wrote his play Archelaos in honor of thegreat-uncle of Alexander, did he write it inSlavic? When he wrote the Bacchai while atthe court of Archelaos did he not write it inGreek even as it has survived to us? Orshould we imagine that Euripides was a“Macedonian” who wrote in Slavic (at a datewhen that language is not attested) which wastranslated into Greek? What was the language of instruction whenAristotle taught Alexander? What languagewas carried by Alexander with him on hisexpedition to the East? Why do we haveancient inscriptions in Greek in settlementsestablished by Alexander as far away asAfghanistan, and none in Slavic? Why didGreek become the lingua franca inAlexander’s empire if he was actually a“Macedonian”? Why was the New Testamentwritten in Greek rather than Slavic? On page 57 of the so-called “Letter fromMacedonia” there is a photograph of theauthor standing “before a bronze statue ofAlexander the Great in the city of Prilep.”The statue is patently modern, but thequestion is whether the real historic Alexander

could have read the Slavic inscription beneathhis feet. Given the known historic posterityof Slavic to Greek, the answer is obvious. While Mr. Brunwasser’s reporting of thearchaeological work in Paionia is welcome, hisadoption and promotion of the modernpolitical stance of its people about the use ofthe name Macedonia is not only unwelcome, itis a disservice to the readers of Archaeologywho are, I imagine, interested in historic fact.But then, the decision to propagate thishistorical nonsense by Archaeology – apublication of the Archaeological Institute ofAmerica - is a disservice to its own reputa-tion. Let it be said once more: the region ofancient Paionia was a part of the Macedonianempire. So were Ephesos and Tyre andPalestine and Memphis and Babylon andTaxila and dozens more. They may thus havebecome “Macedonian” temporarily, but nonewas ever “Macedonia”. Allow me to end this exegesis by making asuggestion to resolve the question of themodern use of the name “Macedonia.” Greeceshould annex Paionia – that is what Philip IIdid in 359 B.C. And that would appear to beacceptable to the modern residents of thatarea since they claim to be Greek by appro-priating the name Macedonia and its mostfamous man. Then the modern people of thisnew Greek province could work on learningto speak and read and write Greek, hopefullyeven as well as Alexander did.

UPGRADE NEEDED FOR VGHEMERGENCY CT SCANNERVancouver General Hospital is the largest teaching, research, and referral hospitalfor trauma and specialized care in British Columbia. It is a Level 1 trauma centrewith approximately 80,000 emergency room visits each year. VGH provides com-munity health care and specialized services for patients from across the province.One in twelve British Columbians are treated at VGH.

To better serve ourpatients and communitywe are in the process oftrying to upgrade our oldemergency CT scanner tothe latest state of the artCT scanners available.CT scanners serve animportant role in theemergency setting as theycan non-invasively imageall organ systems andhelp identify pathologythat is critical in optimiz-ing patient care.

Trauma is the leadingcause of death in men andwomen under 40.Some common examples include lacerations of organs, such as the spleen and liver,or ruptured hollow organs, such as the bowel, spine fractures and brain injuries.

CT is the principal diagnostic modality for evaluation of trauma. The rapid diag-nostic capability afforded by CT contributes towards a decrease in morbidity andmortality from trauma injuries.

Cardiovascular disease and stroke is a significant killer among Canadians. Notonly can a state of the art CT scanner help patient outcomes in trauma but it canalso be utilized for detecting cardiovascular disease and stroke in a rapidly andnon-invasively.

Some major benefits of this new type of CT scanner include:• Excellent visualization of the vessels that supply the brain and heart in a non-invasive fashion• Avoidance of invasive procedures such as catheter angiograms that carry seriousrisk to the patient• Marked increase in speed of acquisition of images that helps us image evenunstable patients in a trauma situation• Better characterization of the abnormalities in trauma patients, a feature that canhelp surgeons in quickly determining whether to operate on trauma patients • Significant reduction in radiation dose to the patient compared to older genera-tion CAT scanners thus reducing radiation induced cancers

The cost of this upgrade to the state of the art new CT scanner would be approxi-mately 500,000 dollars.

Your generous donation would greatly advance our efforts in obtaining this neededupgrade to a new state of the art CT scanner that would immensely improve thequality of patient care and better meet the healthcare needs of our community.

I would be very happy to meet in person and provide more specific details andadditional information. I can be reached at 604-875-4111, ext. 63659 or via email [email protected].

Thank you for your kind consideration.

« Esteemed guestsDear fellow Greeks

We co-memorate tonightthe Greek Day of Indepen-dence, which signals theresurrection of the Hellenicnation, after four centuriesof Ottoman conquest anddomination.The ten year-long GreekWar of Independence wasunmistakably perceived inpost-Napoleonian Europeas an offspring of theAmerican and FrenchRevolutions. The firstconstitutional Chaptersdrafted, voted and de-fended by the Greekinsurgents are witnessingthis influence, everlastingsince then.

Klemens von Metternich ( andfor that matter HenryKissintzger) got it right: theGreeks were definitely trouble-makers. They have been, sincethe era of Pericles and evenbefore, when they resisted anddefeated the Persian world order.Empires and Greeks have notblended well through the ages,perhaps because the Greekshave historically been advocatesof a civilization which civilsociety, over state interest.

Now, it so happens that – aspecial report by local newspa-per-concluded, last week, that «Church, food and family are thedefining characteristics forGreek immigrants to Canada».

I intend not to refute the validityof such a statement, whichfocuses rather on the elephant‘stail than on its proboscis. Still, Iam convinced that besides beingdevoted church-goers, ardentfeast-funs and family- people,the Greeks in Vancouver andelsewhere do enrich the formi-dable Canadian mosaic in waysmore substantial and spiritual.

I will only point out the persis-tent effort by the Greek immi-grants to preserve their mother-tongue, the Greek language-acultural treasure in its ownright-and to teach it to theirchildren, as well as to theirfellow-Canadians.

The Greek state, which I havethe honour to represent andwhose independence we cametonight together to celebrate,spares no effort to assist theGreek residing abroad to masterand preserve their language andtheir culture. Because for usGreeks, as our most eminentpoet put it, « two things keepour minds alert: liberty andlanguage».

(NC)—With one of the highestchildhood obesity rates in thedeveloped world, Canada has totake drastic measures to helpthe one in four kids who areeither overweight or obese.

AstraZeneca Canada andPhysical and Health EducationCanada (PHE Canada) havejoined forces to start making apositive impact in the health ofall Canadian children bydeveloping a free school-basedwellness program called At MyBest (www.atmybest.ca).

At My Best focuses on thephysical, nutritional and emo-tional health of children inkindergarten to grade three.

“Many schools across Canada arein need of high quality, user-

friendly resources that cansupport the delivery of qualityschool health and physicaleducation programs,” says PHECanada Executive DirectorAndrea Grantham. “We’re happy

to get involved and make thathappen.”

At My Best was recently en-dorsed by the College of FamilyPhysicians of Canada, and has

been well received by students,parents and teachers.

“My kids love At My Best!” saysSettler’s Green Public Schoolteacher Samantha Hendricks.“They have been very enthusias-tic and extremely excited aboutthe program.”

At My Best consists of lessonplans, a music CD, a storybook,task cards, posters, physicaleducation equipment and take-home material.

“My daughter’s reaction hasbeen really positive,” says mom

Julieanne Birch. “She’s takenmore of an interest in what I ampacking in her lunch bag andwhat I serve for snacks. Themessage seems to hit home morewhen it comes from someoneother than mom.”

At My Best is now being rolledout in 1,000 schools across thecountry, and will be available toanother 1,000 schools every yearuntil all Canadian primaryschools have access to theprogram.
