The Salt Lake Tribune Sunday November 1 R 0 Russian -- 7 M ants cite best country in the world' a E - — By Judy Magid F -- - -- - In kmmIP I r: I Tribune Lifestyle Writer Almost everyone Henry Yanovisky meets asks two questions "As soon as I speak they ask 'Where are you from?: Then 'How do you like it here?' "I love it It's the best country in the world" be said Henry and Raisa Yanovisky came to America in 1976 Originally they lived in Odessa a vacation city of 100000 by the Black Sea in the Ukrainian republic of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics They had little difficulty getting permission to leave Russia "We were lucky We applied and got visas It was the time of President Jimmy Carter and detente Later in 1978 it became almost impossible to leave because of the Afghanistan war "Today it is opposite It easy to get out of Raacia not so easy to get into the United States America has a )intit on how many people can come from each country every year We hope Raisa's brother will be able to immigrate hem but be Will hmoob to w2it " Ur yonnvitiry Epirk s The Yanoviskys came io America to make a better life far and their daughter Vicky who was then 8 Their son Michael 14 was born in the United States "Leaving Russia was not taking a risk for us We knew whatever we would have here is better than there The worst thing was there was no opportunity in Russia In Russia only 2 percent of the university student body can be Jewish No diplomatic or high-tec- h college allows Jews at all is government-approve- d Jewish children doing well in school suddenly fail oral tests and don't qualify for college We wanted our children to have the opportunity to choose what they want to do" Mrs Yanovisky said Their daughter is studying to become a pharmacist Their son is in junior high school With $1000 saved over a lifetime they moved to New York City We had family there But we had no language skills A charitable group that aids immigrants provided language classes We attended for four or five months" Mr Yanovisky remembered "I was a glassmaker in Russia The closest glass factory was 90 miles from New York Too far I heard about free classes where they teach job skills Anyone can go I took a class in refrigeration and appliance repair I figured there would always be work "I've never been without a job in America" Both agree the most important asset immigrants can have is information "I am a medical technician but I needed a license to work in America I didn't know how to get one Our friends and relatives didn't know where to go for that kind of information I didn't have enough English to find out myself" Mrs Yanovisky said "But still I had to work I took a job as a steam presser" she said adding it was literally a sweatshop "Steam pressers are on their feet all day It's hard work But it was the work I had" While Mr Yanovisky was doing appliance repair in a physician's home he asked how his wife could work as a medical technician in America "The doctor said she should go to a certain hospital and work as a volunteer After six months she could get a license It was that easy once we had the information" Mr Yanovisky said As their daughter started junior high school and their son was born the olitv7140- - 1 P ' - ' ' y -- - I -4 1' 3 right to Salt Lake City They hated it They moved to New York It was a terrible shock They moved back to Salt Lake 'Ind told us to come because it e I a Ip ar ( - KmmAvmo 'i ' ' t d) L '' 1 ' 4 1 - 4-- r '( ' : 7411) s' ' ' z "L I (rtw i t "' - 1 t I ' I P r ' :' 4 ' "CI' ' J ‘ y 1 - I was heaven "We packed the children and moved Just like that I knew I would fmd work People everywhere have appliances There are hospitals everywhere so Raisa could work If we can work we can live anywhere "It's only now we understand that we took a risk" They maintain close friendships with other Russian immigrants and are Interested in current developments in Russia "There's so much freedom in Russia now they don't know how to use it" Mrs Yanovisky said "There's a lot of violence Of course before they never put such stories in the paper Still we know there was not as much violence as now because the communists had control "There was a lot bad about communism but people were taken care of There was free kindergarten maternity leave Life was hard but organized Now there is not much organization The soap is gone Where did the soap go? With grain there can be a bad harvest or a drought But no soap? "I hope Gorbachev will survive It's good for people to say what they think But it's hard to care so much about free speech if there is no bread "Russians have been told 'tomorrow will be better' for 70 years Things are not better In Germany and Czechoslovakia the Communist machine is gone Those countries could not go back to communism Russia is different The Commmunist apparatus is intact If Gorbachev goes down the people will go back to the safety of what they know" The Yanoviskys hoped to find in America the opportunity to work to buy a house and a car to have "enough" They haven't been disappointed But one thing Mr Yanovisky finds puzzling is that so many people can't find work "People sometimes need help When someone is sick and can't work or 11 single parent has children and can't work it's hard and people must help But I don't understand someone who looks healthy with a sign that says 'I '' will work for food' We all work for food cousin in Los Angeles we always have r 'When we visit my American-bor- n the same argument 'Look at the homeless and the hungry in this country' my cousin says I am sorry for those people But we came here with nothing" not even speaking English And we work hard We're not wealthy but we have enough I say 'Look at the ads in the newspaper It may not be the best Job but it is the opportunity to work to have respect"' Next Sunday: Vietnamese family makes it - tssio'' m ‘ I - I ' 1 erica t A 4 k -- ( 04 0 - then-La-elve- "Anti-semitis- W5 11 1990 i ' 400 1 t 1 I' ' ' 11 t ' 'I '''' '' ' : 44 4§E ii to ProcRo by Lynn R Johnyon Michael Yanovisky center was born in the United States because his parents Henry and Raisa wanted their children to have opportunities not found in their native land Russia —Mum Yanoviskys began to wonder about rearing their children in New York "We thought about California We have family there We also have friends in Salt Lake City" Mr Yanovisky said "It's a funny story When our friends first came to America they went Former Ute halfback renews old acquaintances rb' Pat Capson Tribune Lifestyle Writer By Amen '':74'747r ILL The Rev William Han Sr was in Salt Lake City recently looking up friends dating back to the 1940s when be played left halfback on Ike Armstrong's football team at the University of Utah To them he's still "Billy" the kid who came from lolani High School in Honolulu on a scholarship and was part of the squad that swept the Border Football Conference (now the Western Athletic Conference) for three consecutive championships "Unfortunately I also had the distinction of playing on the first U of U team to lose to Brigham Young University" he laughed Today as chief pastor of the Apostolic Faith Church headquartered in Honolulu he is the spiritual leader of thousands overseeing the work of branches on the islands of Oahu Maui Kauai Molokai and Hawaii He visits members in Mindanao in the Philippines in San Francisco and Los Angeles Mr Han's journey from Hawaii to the mainland and back begins with his birth in 1920 on Oahu the eldest of nine children of a Korean father Han Chee Sung and a pure Hawaiian mother Fannie belt Wond "My father struggled to provide for his large family" Mr Han said "particularly after my mother died My brother James the next oldest child and I helped take care of the younger children" Mr Han's athletic prowess changed his life He played football at lolani High School for four years where Fred "Popeye" McKenzie fullformer U of U back was assistant coach Through Mr McKenzie's efforts he was awarded a four-yea- r scholarship to the U He arrived in 1940 speaking by his own account "pigeon English" "People were extremely kind" he said "Two teachers in particular Mrs Webster and Mr Garff whose first names I can't recall took me under their wing Another suggested I take theater classes to improve my -' -0- - 7 mittedly a rather indifferent member of his church he began attending services regularly "This time" he says "it took" On one occasion he saw Evangeline Leimomi "Momi" Senneca singing in the choir It was the beginning of a courtship resulting in marriage In 1951 Her ancestry represents the rich mix of cultures and nationalities typical of Hawaii Her mother was - -- - ' t A ' 1' 1 S 4 :: 'A' ?
