A slice of Ukraine in the Catskills: Soyuzivka concludes 39th summer season by Marta Kolomayets

KERHONKSON, N.Y. - When Soyuzivka's program director Anya Dydyk-Petrenko began planning this UNA resort's 39th summer season of entertainment, she had to consider the needs of a diverse collection of guests — ranging from restless retirees to titillated teenagers. And, judging from the jam-packed, star-studded package she delivered to audience during the three- day Labor Day weekend, September 4-7, her efforts were fruitful: there was something for everybody. Highlighting this holiday weekend, which traditionally closes a summer of fun and frolic at this recreational inn tucked away in the Catskills, were music entertainment programs featuring artists from both the United States and Ukraine, sports competitions and dance parties that lasted well into the night. Among those joining the festivities this year was an official delegation of Ukrainian statesmen, headed by Supreme Council Chairman Ivan Pliushch. The group of people's deputies, spon­ sored by a United States Information Agency Supreme Council Chairman Ivan Pliushch, surrounded by his official delegation, offers t (Continued on page 6) audience a brief report on current events in Ukraine. 2 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1992 No. 37

EAST CHATHAM, N.Y. - Plast Ukrainian Youth Organization^ con­ cluded its 80th anniversary Interna­ tional Plast Jamboree here at the Wolfs Trek (Vovcha Tropa) campsite in up­ state New York with special ceremonies focusing on the first year of Ukraine's independence. The two-week jamboree, held August 8 through 23 had brought together members of Plast from around the world, including Ukraine, where the youth organization was founded in 1911 and renewed in 1990. More than 650 youths and over 100 counselors, pri­ marily from the United States and Canada, but also from Germany, Po­ land, the Czech and Slovak republics, Australia, Great Britain and Brazil participated in the two-stage jamboree. In Phase 1 of the International Plast Jamboree, boys and girls age 11-18 were divided among nine specialized camps with venues throughout the Northeast: Winners of the performance competition during the evening of song and dance. in the Catskills and Adirondacks of New York State, the White Mountains of New Hampshire and in Canada on the shores of Lake Ontario near Kings­ ton. The camps featured hiking, bicycling, sailing, canoeing, mountain climbing, horseback riding, track and field, and team sports, among other activities. The )ectives (above and below) of what it was like director of the jamboree's first phase ng the ropes of mountain-climbing camp. was George Sawicki. After a week and a half at their chosen specialty camps, the youths all gathered at the Plast campsite in East Chatham, N.Y., for a program dedi­ cated in large part to the first anniver­ sary of Ukraine's independence pro­ clamation. Perhaps the most triumphant en­ trance was made by participants of the bicycling camp who had pedalled more than 500 miles. The cyclists were es­ corted by local police and then, upon arrival at "Vocha Tropa," their final destination, were greeted by some 180 young Plast members, boys and girls age 7-11, who had arrived at the camp­ site several days earlier for a special program geared to their age level, Also present to welcome them was Borys Pawliuk, chief commander of the In­ ternational Piast Jamboree,.
