Pavārgrāmatas, ko mēdz dēvēt par virtuves Bībeli, goda vietā celtas izstādē “Nospeķotas lapiņas un gardas vakariņas. Latviešu pavārgrāmatas ārpus Latvijas”. Šoreiz raidījumā Globālais latvietis. 21. gadsimts pārlapojam pavārgrāmatas un skaidrojam, cik nozīmīgas ir latviskās garšas izjūtas svešā vidē. Šoreiz raidījumā Globālais latvietis 21. gadsimts sveicienus sūtām no muzeja un pētniecības centra "Latvieši pasaulē", un pirms šo sarunu sākām, visi viens otram pajautājām - vai jūs esat paēduši? Jo saruna būs diezgan garšīga. Šobrīd muzejā goda vietā ir celtas "Nospeķotas lapiņas un gardas vakariņas Latviešu pavārgrāmatas ārpus Latvijas". Tieši ar šādu nosaukumu ir atklāta izstāde, kas ieskicē laiku pēc Otrā pasaules kara, kad, nonākot trimdā, daudzas latviešu saimnieces saskārās ar izaicinājumu, kā pagatavot pazīstamus un iemīļotus ēdienus, esot svešā vidē, turklāt arī trūcīgos apstākļos. Tādēļ jau bēgļu nometnēs pārpublicēja Latvijā pirms kara izdotās pavārgrāmatas. Kā arī sākot no pagājušā gadsimta 50. gadiem, iznākušas pirmās diasporā tapušās pavārgrāmatas, un tas ir turpinājies līdz pagājušā gadsimta 80.-90. gadiem. Šobrīd izstādē var aplūkot 20 pavārgrāmatas, kas ir izdotas dažādos laika posmos ārpus Latvijas. Vienlaikus ar šo izstādi arī rīt Latvijas Universitātes pētniecības projekts "Latviešu diasporas identitātes transformācijas: teksts, valoda, digitālā vide" un šī pētījuma viens no fokusiem ir arī aplūkot ēdienu klātbūtni diasporas tekstos - pētīt latviskās garšas izjūtas svešā vidē. Pie sarunu galda diasporas gastropoētikas pētnieki: projekta vadītājs Latvijas Universitātes profesors Ojārs Lāms, projekta pētniece Latvijas Universitātes lektore Ilze Šķestere, izstādes "Nospeķotas lapiņas un gardas vakariņas Latviešu pavārgrāmatas ārpus Latvijas" kuratores Marianna Auliciema un Jūlija Apse, kā arī muzeja "Latvieši pasaulē" pedagoģe un komunikācijas speciāliste Danute Grīnfelde.
Stāsta Turaidas muzejrezervāta Pētniecības un krājuma nodaļas galvenā speciāliste, Mg.hist., Mg.theol. Anete Jenča; pārraides producente – Liene Jakovļeva Vai zini, ka padomju gados evaņģēliski luteriskās baznīcas dzīve Latvijā izskatījās pavisam citādi, nekā to rāda arhīvi? Turaidas muzejrezervātā pētniecības jautājums par padomju laiku baznīcās neradās nejauši, bet gan izrietēja no ārzemju tūristu intereses. Nokļūstot Turaidas baznīcā, kas ir viena no vecākajām koka baznīcām Latvijā, viņi nereti jautā – kā šeit bija dzīvot laikā, kad ticība tika uzlūkota kā aizdomīga, un baznīca – kontrolēta? Tieši šie jautājumi pamudināja meklēt atbildes arhīvos un cilvēku atmiņās, un tā radās izstādes "Melni balts laiks" (2024) un "Mēs ticējām – mēs esam" (2025) par Siguldas novada luterāņu baznīcu stāvokli padomju laikā. Šobrīd top arī trešā izstāde, kuru plānots atklāt šī gada maijā. Bet kā tad bija baznīcām un draudzēm izdzīvot padomju gados? Pētot luterāņu baznīcu vēsturi padomju periodā, arhīvi bieži rāda tikai daļu no patiesības. Oficiālos dokumentos draudžu dzīve izskatās klusa, vienmuļa un pakļauta. Taču fotogrāfijas, atmiņas un vietējās liecības stāsta par pavisam citu realitāti. Piemēram, Siguldā un Lēdurgā draudzes formāli pastāv visus padomju gadus. Tomēr dievkalpojumi bieži notiek tikai reizi mēnesī vai pat retāk. Iemesls nav ticīgo, bet gan mācītāju trūkums. Pēc kara daudzi garīdznieki bija emigrējuši vai izsūtīti, Teoloģijas fakultāte bija slēgta, un jaunu mācītāju sagatavošana tika stingri kontrolēta. Tāpēc viens mācītājs bieži apkalpo vairākas draudzes, braucot no vienas baznīcas uz otru. Tā, piemēram, Georgs Zālītis pēc Otrā pasaules kara apkalpoja trīs draudzes – Turaidu, Lēdurgu un Siguldu. Mācītājiem ik ceturksni konsistorijai vajadzēja iesniegt oficiālu pārskatu par draudzes dzīvi – ienākumiem un tēriņiem, bet vēl jo vairāk par veikto kristību, iesvētību un laulību skaitu. Un te rodas problēma. 1949. gada jūlijā Latvijas PSR Ministru Padome pielika punktu svarīgajam LELB darbības aspektam – iesvētībām – pieņemot lēmumu, ar kuru tika aizliegta turpmāka iesvētes mācības nodarbību organizēšana. Viļa Lāča parakstītajā lēmumā bija minēts, ka šīs nodarbības traucē parasto skolu mācību gaitu. Iesvētes mācības nodarbību aizliegšana nenozīmēja, ka aizliegta tiktu arī pati iesvēte kā reliģiska kulta rituāls, tomēr, ja nevar veikt mācības, tad, likumsakarīgi, ilgtermiņā tas nozīmēja draudzes locekļa skaita samazinājumu. Oficiālajos gada pārskatos redzam, ka līdz ar 50. gadu otru pusi ir pavisam neliels kristību, iesvētību un laulību skaits, vai atzīmēts, ka šādas svētdarbības nav notikušas vispār. Taču Turaidas (un arī citu) draudžu fotogrāfijas un cilvēku liecības rāda ko citu – piecdesmito gadu izskaņā un sešdesmitajos gados jaunieši joprojām tiek iesvētīti, notiek kristības un laulības, tostarp jaunais pāris nereti laulājas skaistos nacionālos tērpos. Mācītāji norādīja mazākus skaitļus, lai izvairītos no pārbaudēm un sodiem. Tā veidojas plaisa starp arhīvu datiem un reālo baznīcas dzīvi. Vienlaikus baznīca tiek pastāvīgi ierobežota. Garīgā darbība drīkst notikt tikai dievnamā vai kapsētā. Jebkura aktivitāte ārpus šīm robežām tiek uzskatīta par pārkāpumu. Īpaši bīstami režīmam šķiet kapusvētki. Krimuldas draudzes dokumentos jau 1962. un 1963. gadā parādās ieraksti par kapusvētku aizliegumiem un apcietinājuma draudiem mācītājam Voldemāram Aivaram par šo svētku noturēšanu. Līdzīgi gadījumi minēti arī Lēdurgā, kur kapusvētki tiek uzraudzīti un ierobežoti kā “nevēlama pulcēšanās”. Kapusvētki padomju varai nav tikai reliģisks notikums – tie pulcē daudz cilvēku, stiprina kopienu un uztur atmiņu, un tieši tas tiek uzskatīts par bīstamu. Ļoti efektīvs spiediena instruments ir nodokļi, kas ar katru gadu tika likti arvien lielāki. Turaidā un Krimuldā 1963. gadā baznīcu ēku vērtība tiek paaugstināta četrpadsmit reizes vairāk nekā gadu iepriekš, līdz ar to pieaug nodokļi un zemes rente. Draudzes lūdz atlaides, bet tās tiek atteiktas. Tajā pašā laikā baznīca tiek demolēta – izsisti logi, bojāts interjers. 1964. gadā Krimuldas draudze ir spiesta pieņemt lēmumu par darbības izbeigšanu, un pēc vietējās varas iniciatīvas baznīcas durvis tiek aizmūrētas. Arī Turaidā 1964. gada decembrī draudze sapulcējas uz pēdējo dievkalpojumu. Pēc draudzes slēgšanas dievnams nonāca Siguldas novadpētniecības muzeja (tagad Turaidas muzejrezervāts) pārziņā. Baznīca tika saglabāta kā arhitektūras piemineklis, bet tās reliģiskā funkcija tika uz vairākiem gadiem pārtraukta. Līdzīgs liktenis piemeklē arī Allažus – 1949. gadā draudzi piespiež pamest baznīcu, kur tiek ierīkota ēdnīca, vēlāk noliktava. Dievnams tiek pārvērsts par utilitāru telpu, zaudējot savu sakrālo funkciju, līdzīgi kā tas notiek ar daudziem citiem dievnamiem visā Latvijā. Padomju kontrole attiecas arī uz mācītājiem personīgi. Katru gadu viņiem jāiesniedz biogrāfiskie apraksti, kuros jānorāda izglītība, ģimenes stāvoklis, kontakti un pat tas, kāda literatūra viņiem patīk – vai tā ir padomju, vai reliģiska. Šie šķietami nevainīgie jautājumi kalpo kā lojalitātes pārbaude. Un tomēr – baznīca izdzīvo. Atmodas laikā situācija strauji mainās. Cilvēki sāk pulcēties ap baznīcām vēl pirms to oficiālas atjaunošanas. Krimuldas baznīca draudzei tiek atdota pilnīgā postā – bez logiem, ar bojātu jumtu, pamesta gadiem. Bet cilvēki nāk talkās. Talkas kļūst par Atmodas simbolu – ne tikai sakopt dievnamu, bet atgūt pašcieņu un kopību. Astoņdesmito gadu izskaņā Turaidas baznīcā un citviet notiek īpaši svētbrīži – Staļinisma upuru piemiņai, Latvijas neatkarības dienā. Dievkalpojumos parādās Latvijas karogs, skan dziesmas ar nacionālu zemtekstu – tas viss oficiāli nebija atļauts. Mācītāji piedalās publiskos svētbrīžos, un baznīca atkal kļūst par sabiedrības pulcēšanās vietu, lai gan oficiāli daudzas draudzes atjaunošanu piedzīvo vien 90. gadu sākumā. Beigu beigās evaņģēliski luteriskā baznīca padomju gados izdzīvoja, jo tā nekad nepastāvēja tikai arhīvos – tā pastāvēja cilvēku sirdīs.
This week on The Shiver Show, we bring you deceit and deadly intentions with “A Blueprint for Murder” from Lux Radio Theatre (1954), adapted just one year after the successful 1953 film, directed by Andrew L. Stone, and starring Joseph Cotten and Jean Peters.This golden era radio episode features Dan Dailey as Cam, and Dorothy McGuire as Lynn, the dreaded stepmother with secrets to spare. McGuire is terrific here, proving she can go dark, despite Hollywood often casting her as the “nice girl.” The supporting cast is terrific too, with Barney Phillips as Captain Detective Pringle, Jack Kruschen as Lieutenant Cole, and William Conrad as the district attorney. This is a compelling mystery with a slow-burn tension and meticulous clues. Join us for secrets, suspicion, and a blueprint that doesn't quite go to plan.Thank you for listening!

In this week's Overdrive Radio, part 2 of our series honoring our Trucker of the Year, John Penn, for the big win for 2025. Part 1, ICYMI: https://overdriveonline.com/15815690 In this edition, Penn details his approach to maintenance with an experiment he's conducted to extend oil drain intervals beyond the manufacturer-recommended 75,000 miles for his 2019 Freightliner Cascadia. Also: You'll hear about Penn's close attention to customer opportunity, and keys to prevention when it comes to the maintenance issues with emissions system in the Cascadia -- no "deleted" emissions here. He's running with all the sensors and the diesel particular filter, the diesel exhaust fluid dosing, and the rest, and hitting big fuel-efficiency numbers we detailed in the last episode featuring him. Above 10 mpg for a lifetime average is certainly nothing to sniff at, but has he been plagued with sensor failures and other problems common to emissions-equipped diesels? The answer is not really, though he's had some minor issues for certain. Part of his success on that front starts with his approach to the used market for such trucks to begin with -- with a keen eye not just on a prospective purchase's miles for previous-life wear and tear, but engine hours, too. The lower the hours, the less the unit's prior owner likely idled the rig -- one of the big killers of emissions equipment in modern trucks in his view. Penn, despite his late-model equipment, might well qualify among the oldest of the old-school in that regard. As he put it about his own idling practice: "This piece of machinery is feeding us and keeping a roof over our head," Penn noted, "so I want to treat it the best I can. I will not idle, ever. I don't care how hot it is." That's right, even in Texas in mid-summer, where he finds himself often enough at the end of one or another of his LTL furniture runs. "I don't have an APU or anything," he added, but he does utilize a fan and his truck's window screens. He's comfortable with the tradeoff. "I'd rather put my truck's health in front of my comfort," he said, laughing. He does run with a fuel-fired heater for those dangrously cold temps, but it's safe to say Trucker of the Year John Penn is one tough customer when it comes to downtime OTR. In the podcast, dive into new opportunities he's set himself up for with diligent, always-on customer service and networking. "You never know when an opportunity is going to pop up," he said, about potential new direct freight opportunites he details here. And he's made great strides, too, paying his growing experience forward to peers. There's good possibility of a bit of expansion for his one-truck JP Transport business as soon as this quarter, with addition of a leased owner he's really bonded with as a back-and-forth sounding board for trucking information, knowledge, advice. The like-minded pair may soon make for a great two-truck hauling team in JP Transport. Enter the 2026 Trucker of the Year competition: https://overdriveonline.com/toptrucker
