Dotazy odpovi Dr. Ante Mikolasek, obecni lékař

„Sutivan- Climatic station for winter- and summertime. Requests are answered by Dr. Ante Mikolasek, public doctor“
This is a small inscription on the postcards, that were published by Dr. Mikolasek in order to promote Sutivan. As a doctor he appriciated the special clima on the island and his dream- to build a sanatorium “Climatic Station“ is until today connected with his name, by locals, who remember him. One of his initiatives was also the founding of the public park- it was the first public park on whole Brac- accessible for all. On one of the postcards you can see the freshly planted trees.
To celebrate the anniversary of the park may support contemporary ideas, how to- besides the chidren's corner and the honorable, but sad memorial for the victims of the wars- carry a new atmosphere, new iniciatives. Maybe even to expand with more space and live.
The celebration of the park's founding will take place this friday, 27th of june at 20h.
Bohdan Mikolasek, Dr. Mikolasek's grandson composed a completely new song about the park. Important Persons, like the mayor of Sutivan, the president of Czech  contrymen in Croatia, the ambassador of Czech Republic and a Czech Television crew.

Doctor Antonin's Chessboard

While thinking about the form, how to rember the hundred years anniversary of the park's founding, the first idea was a know gesture: to donate a  stone seat with an incription. Considering his modesty it wouldn't had been his wish to engrave his name to a monument.  A more quite form is still planed: to build a stone relief, based on the postcard with the first trees of the park and his name just mentioned in that inscription right top about the climatiac station.
To keep Dr. Antonin present already during these celebrations, his great-granddaughter Adriana Mikolaskova designed an object based on a photography, where Dr. Antonin- absourbed in thought -  playing chess with his wife Mathilde. You can take a seat with him... and in mind a party.
Yes, the wolrd is a little bit bigger than a small chessboard. And Sutivan is not a big city. Let's learn from him to move right the stones ...even at small places.
