This winter it is the second accident of an angler who drowned after ice broke under his feet. His body was recovered the next day. www.tvn24.pl/12690,1584250,,,wedkarz-utonal-w-przereblu,wiadomosc.html People could be really more careful and predicting. Why don`t they tie a rope to a nearby tree or their car on the shore/bank?

Taliban beheads Polish engineer Created: 07.02.2009 10:28 UPDATE - A spokesman for the Pakistan Taliban claimed, Saturday, that they have carried out the threat to behead Piotr Stanczak, the Polish engineer kidnapped in the northwest borderlands in Pakistan last September.
"We have beheaded the Polish engineer after the government failed to meet our demands,” said the spokesman, as reported by Pakistani media, referring to an earlier ultimatum whereby the Taliban threatened to kill the hostage if prisoners were not released and Islamic law was not put in place in certain regions of Pakistan.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk, in Munich this morning for an international security conference, says he has unofficial information which confirms that Stanczak is indeed dead.
The deadline for the ultimatum passed last Wednesday. It is reported that the Taliban have demanded 200,000 rupees (2,000 euro) for the return of the body.
On Thursday, Pakistani political scientist Aimal Khan claimed that he had had contact with the kidnappers personally and said the Polish engineer was alive and that the Taliban were still willing to negotiate his release.
Prime Minister Tusk said earlier that no ransom had been paid and his government would not negotiate with such groups.
As the deadline loomed last week, Dorota Bartula, an ex-partner of Stanczak and mother to his 13 year old son, appealed for the Polish government to be more active in securing his release. She also demanded that if the Taliban went ahead with their threat to kill the engineer - who works for the Geofizyka Krakow mining exploration company based in south Poland - then she would call for a report into why the Foreign Ministry had not done more to save him.
The Polish engineer was working for Geofizyka Krakow when he was abducted by armed assailants on September 28, some 200 km south-east of Islamabad. Three Pakistanis, a driver and two bodyguards, who accompanied the Polish engineer were shot dead during the kidnap. (pg) Source: The News (Pakistan) Geo TV via thenews.pl The news was corroborated. Unfortunately. I imagine the feeling of loss and pain of his family. The Polish government say they did everything to free the Pole. We mustn`t alow ourselves be directed by hate in this case. Not all Muslims are such maniacs. If there was any negligence on the part of Pakistani authorities, and it seems so because they could have released a few minor Taliban prisoners but they didn`t, let them be punished by mass departure of foreign specialists from Pakistan.

Rising Polish suicides in UK thenews.pl 12.02.2009
According to Poland's Deputy Consul in Manchester, suicides committed in north England and Wales constitute one third of Polish deaths in Great Britain.
The rate is even higher in southern England, where industry is less developed and there are fewer job opportunities for unskilled or semi-skilled Poles.
The case of 22-year-old Pawal Lipinski, who killed himself last year in Bradford, northern England, is one of a growing trend of suicides, says the organization.
Psychologists say loneliness, lack of money and shame of not getting a proper job or not making enough money are to blame for an increasing amount of Poles feeling trapped in the UK with no prospects.
In the UK, men born between 1978 and 1984 are most likely to take their own lives.

Bad news of my own to report today.
My dear Mother-in-Law passed away yesterday about noon. She had Alzhimers and numerous physical problems. I took care of her evenings and my Sis in law stayed with her the rest of the time. I am really going to miss her, we had grown so close.

Alzheimer's is a tragic disease, but I am glad she was given the dignity of being lovingly cared for by her family. God bless.

Thank you all so very much for your condolences and kind words. Mum was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. We all were lucky to have her with us for 82 years.
Her funeral was today and now we have to go on without her, but our memories will comfort us.
Thank you again, Mary

grammyK, I am very sorry about your loss. Thanks Nancy. I was truly blessed to have such a good MIL. One of the last things she said was "Tell Louise I love her" to my hubby. I arrived minutes after she died. (My name is Mary Louise, but have always been "Louise" to the family...we have lots of "Mary's" in the family) I will always treasure that message, and it will be hard to be without her in my life.

You said she had Alzheimer's, so it is a real blessing that she remembered your name. My MIL had Alzheimer's, and she forgot who anyone was - it was really awful for those closest to her. Your MIL gave you a beautiful gift, at the end.

Your MIL gave you a beautiful gift, at the end. She most certainly did! She only once got me confused with another. At Christmas she asked me if I was her mother. This made me laugh because her mother has been dead for many years & I wondered if I should start coloring the grey hair! LOL. I think that was due to all the confusion & people in the house that day. She got most people right about half the time, but we knew it would get worse. It was really a huge blessing that she was still home and went so peacefully. I wish we all could go that easy when it's our time.

A coach with children going to the theatre crashed into a low railway bridge. The 60 year old driver ignored the warning signs, probably misled by one of teachers. The top of the coach got demolished, fortunately no one was killed. Two dozen children were taken to hospitals, two`s condition is serious, but stable. www.tvn24.pl/-1,1592931,0,1,kierowca-autokaru-moja-ostroznosc-sie-wylaczyla,wiadomosc.html

I agree that much of the violence is due to the availability of guns, and the freedom to bear arms which is in our Constitution, but this particular dastardly deed was done with a knife... Things like this come out of a society that has lost respect for the sanctity of life and one where the media constantly serves people a steady diet of violence, so much so that people become desensitized to it.

Tragedy in Kamień Pomorski. A day of national mourning has been announced.
2009-04-15, author mzamojski , translator dominik Categories: [ Incidents ] [ Catastrophy ]
21 people died during the fire in a social hotel in Kamień Pomorski. Polish president announced a day of national mourning.
There were 77 people living in the building. Most of them were families with many children or pathological families. 41 people were saved while 20 were taken to a hospital. Fire-fighters found 21 bodies in the scene of the fire. At least 2 victims (some sources say that it is 11 people) are gone missing.
“I know that fire brigades came as fast as it was possible. What happened next? The investigation is being conducted” – said Lech Kaczyński, who arrived to Kamień Podolski. Polish president announced three day long national mourning.
Also Donald Tusk came to the city. He promised that all victims would get government’ s support and compensations. 3.5-4 million zloty will be needed. “All I can say is that our help will be fast and provide the roof over heads of these people” – promised Tusk.13 children burned in fire 2009-04-17, author mzamojski , translator oskarinio
Police stated that 13 children were killed in a fire of social hotel in Kamieniec Pomorski. Such information was given by Court Medicine Department in Szczecin where burned remains of human bodies are identified. It is still to early to determine names of those children, but what is already known is that they were aged from 3 to over a dozen years.
When the fire started children were in the worst position. Defenseless, lost in rooms full of smoke couldn't get out of the burning building. If they were not helped by adults, they died in flames.
Unfortunately body identification process started yesterday shows that most of victims were children.
However final identification can last for a long time. The remains are so badly burned that genetic material analysis will be necessary. Now those remains were transported to Court Medicine Department in Szczecin.

Body of Polish man beheaded in Pakistan returned 4/29/09
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The remains of a Polish geologist beheaded by Islamic militants in Pakistan were returned Wednesday to Poland in a casket draped in the two countries' flags and covered in flowers.
Piotr Stanczak's body was flown to Warsaw's military airport on a Pakistani air force plane. In a short ceremony on the tarmac, a Roman Catholic priest prayed over the white casket.
Dressed in black, Stanczak's son and girlfriend stood briefly by the casket, their heads bowed.
The geologist was one of a handful of foreigners kidnapped in Pakistan in recent months as the country witnessed a deterioration in security along with a rise in al-Qaida and Taliban-led violence.
Stanczak was kidnapped Sept. 28 close to the Afghan border while he was carrying out a project for a Krakow-based geophysics company that surveys oil and gas fields.
He was held hostage for several months before his captors beheaded him in February, a killing that they videotaped.
On Sunday, a car dropped the casket near a paramilitary camp in Razmak, Pakistan. Officials then confirmed the remains were those of Stanczak.
