(BREAK)

GWEN IFILL: Finally tonight, some Fourth of July reflections from
poet Gregory Djanikian. He directs the creative writing program at
the University of Pennsylvania. His fifth and latest volume of poetry
is "So I Will Till the Ground."

GREGORY DJANIKIAN, Poet: My name is Gregory Djanikian, and I was born
in Alexandria, Egypt, of Armenian parentage, and came to this country
when I was 8 years old. I spent my boyhood in a small town in
Pennsylvania, Williamsport, home of the little league, and my
acculturation to this country occurred in some ways on the baseball
fields of that town.

Now I live near Philadelphia, a city which saw the founding of this
nation. I`d like to read a poem called "Immigrant Picnic," which
describes a July Fourth get-together of my immigrant family, who,
with American families across the nation, contribute to the
celebration of independence.

The poem also describes how we might contribute to that great melting
pot that is the English language, that, for many of us who have come
from different countries, our difficulties with American idioms often
lead to unexpected syntactic constructions and surprising turns of
phrase which enrich the language and by which we all are enriched.

"Immigrant Picnic."

It`s the Fourth of July, the flags are painting the town, the plastic
forks and knives are laid out like a parade.

And I`m grilling, I`ve got my apron, I`ve got potato salad, macaroni,
relish, I`ve got a hat shaped like the state of Pennsylvania.

I ask my father what`s his pleasure and he says, "Hot dog, medium
rare," and then, "Hamburger, sure, what`s the big difference," as if
he`s really asking.

I put on hamburgers and hot dogs, slice up the sour pickles and
Bermudas, uncap the condiments. The paper napkins are fluttering away
like lost messages.

"You`re running around," my mother says, "like a chicken with its
head loose."

"Ma," I say, "you mean cut off, loose and cut off being as far apart
as, say, son and daughter."

She gives me a quizzical look as though I`ve been caught in some
impropriety. "I love you and your sister just the same," she says,
"Sure," my grandmother pipes in, "you`re both our children, so why
worry?"

That`s not the point I begin telling them, and I`m comparing words to
fish now, like the ones in the sea at Port Said, or like birds among
the date palms by the Nile, unrepentantly elusive, wild.

"Sonia," my father says to my mother, "what the hell is he talking
about?" "He`s on a ball," my mother says.

"That`s roll!" I say, throwing up my hands, "as in hot dog,
hamburger, dinner roll…"

"And what about roll out the barrels?" my mother asks, and my father
claps his hands, "Why sure," he says, "let`s have some fun," and
launches into a polka, twirling my mother around and around like the
happiest top,

and my uncle is shaking his head, saying "You could grow nuts
listening to us,"

and I`m thinking of pistachios in the Sinai burgeoning without end,
pecans in the South, the jumbled flavor of them suddenly in my mouth,
wordless, confusing, crowding out everything else.

THEY’VE GOT IT COVERED;
BROTHERS, SONS CONTINUE DADS’ WORK ETHIC AT SERGENIANS

By Pamela Cotant

Generations of Sergenians have grown up in the family rug and carpet
business – first playing in the various stores and then taking on
work responsibilities as they became older.

The tradition has created a steady supply of workers to continue the
business, which has evolved into Sergenian’s Floor Coverings , and
has fostered an extraordinary closeness among family members.

"My brothers are my best friends," Ron Sergenian said.

He remembers playing baseball with his brothers in the huge basement
of the family store, often exasperating their father with all of
their horsing around.

Ron Sergenian’s son, Tom, also has fond memories of hanging out at
the store with his siblings, Steve, Amy, John, Sarah and Rachel.
They’d stock the refrigerator with pop and drink it as they played.
Their dad would blow a piercing whistle when he needed their help.

"Everybody had to tear across the warehouse and help roll up the
rugs," said Tom, who later brought his own children to the business.

BUSINESS STARTED IN 1930

The business was started in 1930 on Monroe Street by Ara Sergenian,
who was born to Armenian parents and was married to Alice, who also
was Armenian.

Called Sergenian Oriental Rug Galleries – the company’s roots were
planted in a traditional trade for Armenians – a point not lost on
the newer generations.

The company has changed locations over the years and now the retail
operation is at 2805 West Beltline Highway while administrative
offices, distribution center and a growing commercial division are at
2001 Fish Hatchery Road.

The company has moved beyond carpet and rugs to other flooring and
this year started the first comprehensive carpet reclamation program
in the state to keep removed carpet out of the landfill.

After Sergenian’s removes material from a building, it sends it to
Reynold’s Urethane Recycling in Middleton, which separates the
carpeting into its various components. That facility will then store
the reusable material for Sergenian’s until there is enough to ship
to a manufacturer. About 80 percent of the carpeting can be broken
down into nylon and reused. The remaining material is put into a
waste-to-energy program where it is burned to generate electricity.

All of Ara Sergenian’s children, Bob, Ara Jr., Marsh, Ron, Paul,
Miriam, Dave and Dan, worked at the company in various capacities.

In 1962, Ron, Marsh and Paul Sergenian purchased the company from
their initially reluctant father – making him an offer he couldn’t
refuse as they yearned to take the company in a new direction – and
moved it to State Street.

Ron Sergenian hired a high school student named Jim Garner in 1963 as
the first nonfamily member to work at the company and in 1972 he
bought Marsh Sergenian’s share of the business.

Ron Sergenian’s sons, Steve and Tom, and Paul Sergenian’s son, Kevin,
started working part time in the warehouse in the summer of 1972 and
continued to work at the business as they went through high school
and college.

Later, some of Ron and Paul Sergenian’s other children worked in the
business.

ONE SON BECOMES PRESIDENT

Eventually, all of the Sergenian children except Tom moved on to
other interests and left the company.

"For me, it was never really a consideration to do anything else or
work anywhere else," said Tom, now 48 and company president. "I
wanted to help Dad."

Paul Sergenian sold his share of the business to Ron Sergenian and
Jim Garner in 1983 and went out on his own. Paul Sergenian returned
in 1995 to run the area rug department. His daughter, Kathryn, joined
the company last year as a sales associate in the same department.

Tom Sergenian met his wife, Toni, in college and she worked at the
business for a time while she was going to school. Later, their
children, Nick, Lucas and Geneva, began working in the business part
time while in middle school.

Nick Sergenian, 22, who once considered being a teacher, graduated
from UW-Madison and works as the company’s information technology and
inventory manager. Luke Sergenian, 20, is studying business at
UW-Milwaukee and in the summer works on an installation crew in the
commercial department.

Geneva Sergenian, 17, is still in high school.

Jim Garner’s son, Nathan, is working part time while in high school
and may continue on in the business. Jim Garner is now chief
executive.

INFORMAL SUCCESSION PLAN

As the business has changed hands, the transactions have not followed
formal succession plans. Instead they are basically agreements among
those involved.

Ron Sergenian, 74, said when he started at the business at age 12, he
and his siblings were the only help his father had. Unless he was in
sports, he was expected to come to the business after school and
every day during summer.

"After church, we’d stop at the store on the way home," he said. "We
never got paid. It was a family thing."

ENDURING TOUGH TIMES

Working for his dad, there was never any mistaking that "he was the
boss…He set the agenda (and) whether we liked it or not, we did
it," Ron Sergenian said.

While he truly enjoyed working with his brothers, Ron Sergenian’s
time in the business spanned tough times.

Like his brothers, he worked many hours when he was young and had to
deal with absences as some of the Sergenian brothers served in the
Korean War. The business burned down twice within five years. After
the second fire, which came just as the company was venturing into
furniture sales and didn’t have adequate insurance, most of the
employees had to be let go, leaving family members to run the
business almost entirely by themselves.

The business weathered a recession in the 1980s and Ron lost a son.

"The business was never fun for me. It was always work," said Ron
Sergenian, who retired at 58.

Ron Sergenian, who worked 60- to 70-hour weeks, said he consciously
tried not to talk about work at home, finding that he needed a break
from it, especially in the aftermath of the fires.

"Home was my refuge," said Ron Sergenian, who also married a woman
named Alice just like his mother. "It was all family time after work
…. That was the only way I could survive as long as I could."

Tom Sergenian saw his involvement as a way to lighten the load for
his father.

"I thought my dad can’t be everywhere to keep an eye on everything
and everyone," he said.

FOLLOWING DAD’S FOOTSTEPS

Tom Sergenian said he is often told by his family that he’s "just
like dad." He found him easy to work for although the younger
Sergenian’s roles in the company often meant he worked with others
like Don Dahmen, a longtime employee who ran the warehouse and still
works part time as a handyman.

While Tom Sergenian finds more enjoyment in the job, some of that
comes from having more staff to take on duties and being able to work
fewer hours than his dad. But he also likes to leave work at the
office most of the time.

"I do bounce things off of Toni," he said. "That’s usually if it’s
something really big."

He wanted to expose his children to the business so they knew the
opportunities that existed, but did not push it on them.

Nick Sergenian said his dad gives him some freedom while also
listening to his ideas, sometimes agreeing with him and other times
persuading him that the ideas weren’t great.

"I love working for my dad," Nick Sergenian said. "There’s just been
room for me to grow and do interesting things."

Azerbaijan says upcoming election in Nagorno-Karabakh illegitimate
The Associated PressPublished: July 5, 2007

BAKU, Azerbaijan: Azerbaijan emphasized Thursday that it will not
recognize the results of an upcoming presidential election in the
ethnic Armenian-controlled territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.

A presidential vote in Nagorno-Karabakh, a territory inside
Azerbaijan but controlled by ethnic Armenian forces, is scheduled for
July 19.

Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry said the balloting would violate the
country’s constitution and international law and "shall have no legal
effect whatsoever."

"The separatist regime in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan
represents nothing but an illegal structure established by Armenia on
the basis of ethnic cleansing of (the) Azerbaijani population," a
ministry statement said.

Nagorno-Karabakh and some surrounding areas have been controlled by
ethnic Armenian forces since a 1994 cease-fire ended a six-year
conflict that killed some 30,000 people and drove more than 1 million
from their homes. Tensions remain high between Azerbaijan and Armenia
despite more than a decade of coaxing from international mediators
led by the United States, Russia and France to resolve the region’s
status.

For 112-pounder, Darchinyan packs punch

MICHAEL FORNABAIO [email protected]

STRATFORD — He arrived for a light workout at The Edge with a
six-deep entourage, and he might have been the shortest of the bunch
at 5-foot-5, not 112 pounds. Then Vic Darchinyan started throwing
punches, and it looked like every bit of those 112 or so pounds and
65 inches were going through his fists into the bag. Yeah, it’s
pretty obvious why this guy is the IBF flyweight champion. Darchinyan
will defend his belt Saturday at the Arena at Harbor Yard against
Nonito Donaire, one of the headline bouts on a card that includes
Norwalk’s Travis Simms. He says he can beat an opponent with speed if
he needs to, can beat an opponent at pure boxing if he wants to. But
as with every fight he takes, Darchinyan will be looking for a
knockout opportunity Saturday. He is undefeated in 28 bouts with 22
knockouts. "I like excitement. I like guys punching each other," said
Darchinyan, who lives in Australia. "I want to show all America, all
the world, it’s my style, it’s me."

Darchinyan hasn’t had a fight go the distance since 2003, winning
nine bouts by knockout and another on a technical decision since
then. One of those KOs, an 11th-round TKO over Irene Pacheco on Dec.
16, 2004, gave him the title. This fight will be Darchinyan’s seventh
defense. In his sixth, the Armenian native sent Victor Burgos to the
hospital after a 12th-round technical knockout. His fifth defense was
against Glen Donaire, Nonito’s brother, and it’s a sore spot. Glen
Donaire suffered an injury that the referee said came from a clash of
heads; Darchinyan said it was from a punch. Darchinyan won a
unanimous decision on the scorecards, since it was stopped in the
sixth round. He wanted a knockout. He’d also like to unify the
division, and he talked about going up as high as 130 pounds to fight
Manny Pacquiao.

"I want to tell all the world: I have a belt, and I want more belts,"
Darchinyan said. "Come, get my belt. If you can beat me, I give you
my belt.

"I want to fight the best."

Court agrees to widen Dink murder investigation

ISTANBUL (AFP) — Lawyers of the family of slain Turkish-Armenian
journalist Hrant Dink voiced hope Tuesday that the court handling the
case would dig deeper into the murder and uncover the alleged role of
security officials. The legal team has been pushing for months – so
far without success – for the indictment of security officials on the
grounds that the police knew as early as 2006 of plans to kill Dink,
but failed to act in what it says was "almost an intentional
negligence."

The 52-year-old Dink was gunned down on January 19 in a busy Istanbul
street. "We asked the court to expand the investigation … and
collect evidence in various fields," attorney Fethiye Cetin said of
the first hearing in the trial of 18 suspects, which began behind
closed doors Monday.

"The court accepted our demands," she said. "We think this is a
positive attitude." The three key defendants, all from Trabzon, are
the confessed hitmen, 17-year-old Ogun Samast, and the alleged
ultra-nationalist masterminds of the assassination, Yassin Hayal and
Erhan Tuncel, both 26.

The indictment says Tuncel was a police informer who twice told
officials last year that Hayal was plotting to kill Dink, but
deliberately concealed the fact that someone else would pull the
trigger because Tuncel himself was part of the plot.

Genocide’s big buddy Sudan plus Red China equals Darfur

WANT TO know how to get away with murder? Here’s one way: Hide behind
a powerful protector-like, say, the government of the most populous
nation on Earth. Hey, it works for Sudan.

Black Africans in Darfur, the western region of Sudan, are being
slaughtered by the thousands. Sudanese officials deny it, but the
evidence is clear enough. The bodies keep piling up.

The world has expressed its outrage, its horror, its demand that the
killing stop, blah, blah, blah . . . . Talk, diplomats are good at.
Stopping a genocide, not so much. The world should have learned that
much long ago-at least since the Armenian massacres early in the last
century. What’s happening today in Darfur can be traced back through
a whole history of the world’s indifference to suffering.

The Sudanese government’s latest ploy in this farce and tragedy was
to agree to a large contingent of peacekeepers from the United
Nations and the African Union, then deny that force entry to Darfur.
What agreement? Who, us?

As always, Sudan is aided and abetted by its ally and trading
partner, mainland China.

When Condoleezza Rice, our secretary of state, suggested a few days
ago that it’s time for more trade and diplomatic sanctions to get
Khartoum’s attention, Chinese officials were against the idea-as
usual.

There’s been some heartening discussion of a boycott of the 2008
Olympics in Beijing, and it seems to have caught the attention of the
ChiCom bosses. They don’t like all this talk about a Genocide
Olympics. (Ah, if they could just control the Western press the way
they do their own!) Officials in Beijing don’t like to be reminded
that they’re complicit in what’s happening in Darfur, so they say the
Olympics are supposed to be non-political.

Non-political? Like the 1936 Oympics in Berlin? Or the 1980 Olympics
in Moscow that the United States boycotted? Or the 1984 Olympics the
Soviets boycotted in turn? The Olympics have been part political
since the Greek city-states vied for honors at the first one.

Pretending that everything is just swell in Beijing while its regime
is aiding and abetting this massive crime would be a political
statement, too. It would amount to endorsing the horrors in Darfur.
For silence still gives comment. Especially when the world should be
yelling bloody murder.

(Blood) Red China has been running interference for Sudan for years
now. Why? Well, Sudan provides its gigantic trading partner with lots
of oil. Why jeopardize something important, like the supply of
petroleum, for the sake of mere human life? Business is business.

Estimates of the dead in Darfur vary widely. Nobody’s really sure of
the toll to date. The consensus is that at least 200,000 have died
there since 2004; the real count could be twice that. Who really
knows?

Hundreds of thousands, millions . . . . You’d think the rest of the
world would get a little more worked up over such numbers. But the
world’s reaction could be summed up as one big yawn-despite all the
diplomatic jaw-jaw.

If Beijing can be blamed for providing political cover, let’s not
forget who’s doing the killing: the Sudanese regime.

Secretary Rice sounded tired of the old runaround when she called for
additional sanctions. It’s about time somebody ran out of patience.
Anyone with eyes to see and a heart to feel knows what needs to be
done: The UN peacekeepers need to take up their positions to protect
the refugees.

Yes, the peacekeeping force needs to have a heavily African makeup,
and it should be heavily armed. Other countries, Western countries,
can provide the logistical support the peacekeepers will need,
including enough aircraft to enforce a no-fly zone over Darfur. Put
those measures into effect, along with some meaningful economic and
political sanctions, and Sudan might begin to lose interest in
killing.

The solution isn’t really complicated. What’s missing is the will to
do what’s needed. Which means the will to show Sudan-and China’s
commissars-that the world won’t put up with games any longer. PENSION
funds in this country, tired of waiting for governments to act, are
beginning to disinvest in companies that do business with Sudan’s
murderous regime. The Arkansas Teachers Retirement System has decided
to disinvest in the Sudan. Good for the teachers. May their tribe
increase. Economic boycotts can be a powerful weapon. Khartoum may
not care about human life, but it cares deeply about its economic
interests. They need to be squeezed. Never underestimate the power of
the dollar. And after Sudan, Iran. Americans need not wait for the UN
to do right, and private funds need not wait for Washington to take
action. It’s time to put our money where our conscience is.

At Ellis Island: A History in Many Voices

by Luann Toth

PEACOCK, Louise. At Ellis Island: A History in Many Voices . illus.
by Walter Lyon Krudop. 44p. reprods. further reading. Web sites. CIP.
S & S/Atheneum . 2007. RTE $18.99. ISBN 978-0-689-83026-6 . LC
00-054281.

Gr 4-6- A picture book that is stronger in concept than in execution.
In a format similar to her Crossing the Delaware (S & S, 1998),
Peacock describes the immigration experience to children. The first
fictional narrative presented (in red type) is that of a modern child
visiting Ellis Island, intertwining facts she has gathered about her
family at the museum. The second narrative thread is delivered
through letters written in cursive handwriting. They are from a
fictional Armenian girl, Sera, who in 1910 makes the long journey to
join her father in New York. She describes to her mother back home
the Statue of Liberty, being in the Baggage Hall among swarms of
people speaking different languages, and the pervasive feelings of
uncertainty and fear. The third element is the inclusion of numerous
quotes from actual immigrants, an interpreter, a surgeon, and other
officials. Overall, the story is a powerful one, but the whole is
more likely to confuse than to inform young readers. The book’s
approach is sketchily explained in the author’s note and not
sufficiently introduced in the main text, which is divided into
separate boxes, each of which appears in a different color and font.
Krudop’s gouache paintings are evocative and expressive, and archival
photographs are sprinkled throughout. There may be some use for this
offering in a classroom with some guided reading, but youngsters who
come to it on their own will most likely feel lost.-Luann Toth,

ARMENIAN COMMUNITY HAS BEEN ANXIOUS SINCE DAY OF HRANT DINK’S MURDER,
ROBERT HATTECHIAN SAYS

YEREVAN, JULY 5, NOYAN TAPAN. "The Armenian-Turkish relations had been
improved in the past 10-15 years, there was a sympathy for the
Armenians living in Constantinople, and writers and historians speaking
about the Armenian Genocide more boldly had appeared in the Turkish
media. It seemed to us that hatred for us had disappeared, but after
Hrant Dink’s murder such phenomena emerged, which reminded us that the
things are not this way at all," writer, publicist Robert Hattechian,
the editor-in-chief of the Marmara daily of Istanbul, stated in his
interview to Noyan Tapan.

In his words, thousands of people’s taking to the streets and saying
"We are Dinks, we are Armenians" after Hrant Dink’s murder (at that,
the number of Armenians was small among these people) did much harm to
the Armenian community. R. Hattechian said that Armenian schools and
churches are often threatened after that. "In the schools they have an
atmosphere of fear, and iron doors and video cameras have been placed
in front of editorial offices, as we are periodically warned that
something may happen at any moment. Today the Armenian community is
anxious, and everybody wishes to return to the days of past," R.
Hattechian said.

Touching upon the reopening of the repaired Surb Khach church of
Akhtamar, R. Hattechian said that the opening of the church as a museum
was a positive decision. "Of course, I would like it to be opened as a
church, but if it were this way, then only Armenians of Turkey would
visit it once a year, but now the whole world is interested in Surb
Khach church," the editor-in-chief of the Marmara daily said. In his
words, if more clergymen, scientists and intellectuals took part in the
church’s reopening, it would be a larger Armenian agitation.

Speaking about the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border, R.
Hattechian said that Turks, in particular, Turks living in Kars and
Erzrum near Armenia, are for opening the border as soon as possible.
However, in the words of Marmara’s editor-in-chief, the border will not
be opened easily, as the Turkish authorities still have to get over
some obstacles, the first of which is the issue of the Genocide. "Of
course, we will wait very long, but the opening of the border is not
only for us, but for the Turkish public opinion," R. Hattechian said.

IN ARMEN ASHOTIAN’S WORDS, ARMENIA HAS A GREAT NUMBER OF OFFICIALS FOR
WHOM IT IS DIFFICULT TO ACT IN LINE WITH LETTER OF CONSTITUTION

YEREVAN, JULY 5, NOYAN TAPAN. Armen Ashotian, a member of the Board of
the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) and the RPA parliamentary
faction, considers that the constitutional culture has been formed in
Armenia. As he stated at the July 5 press conference, though in the
past 15 years there were some phenomena in the political-public life,
which do not fit into the Constitution, nevertheless, according to A.
Ashotian’s observation, such phenomena are gradually decreasing. He
said that as a result of the May 12 elections, during the formation of
the government, the most part of the constitutional provisions has been
already fulfilled, though, "there are a great number of officials, for
which it is difficult to act in line with the letter of the
Constitution."

The MP stated that the current RA Constitution solves two important
problems, formation of public power and securing of different freedoms.
In A. Ashotian’s words, the Constitution also contains "grounds for the
future." Touching upon the 2005 referendum on constitutional
amendments, the RPA Board member said that "this was the Rubicon the
opposition did not manage to overcome and to reproduce itself." In his
opinion, "not becoming the "torch-bearer" of these reforms, the
opposition missed its chance of entering the political sphere from
positive positions."

Commenting upon the NA’s voting down the parcel envisaging amendments
to the laws "On Television and Radio" and "On State Duty," A. Ashotian
said that the reason of its faulure was not the parliamentary
opposition’s special tactics, but "insufficient mobilization" of
pro-governmental forces. He also said that we should not "present Radio
Liberty as the only sunray in the Armenian media sphere."

RA AND PACE PRESIDENTS DISCUSS IMPROVEMENT POSSIBILITIES OF
ARMENIAN-TURKISH RELATIONS

YEREVAN, JULY 5, NOYAN TAPAN. Robert Kocharian, the President of the
Republic of Armenia, received Rene van der Linden, the President of the
Parliamentarian Assembly of the Council of Europe, on July 4. According
to the information provided to Noyan Tapan by the RA President’s Press
Office, issues concerning cooperation with European institutions were
discussed and economic development prospects of Armenia were touched
upon during their meeting.

The sides also spoke about a number of regional problems, including
improvement possibilities of Armenian-Turkish relations in the context
of Turkey concerning the policy of the membership into the European
Union.
