    • 2007 November 12, Zvonimir Milčec, “Puca kino na staroj streljani u Tuškancu”, in Jutarnji list[1]:
      Streljanu današnje generacije znaju samo kao omiljeno kino Tuškanac, gdje smo rado vodili svoje trebe, mačke,ribe, kite i komade i odgledali velik dio svog repertoara vesterna i krimića, gdje se naveliko pucalo.
      The Shooting range is known to today's generation only as the favorite cinema Tuškanac, where we gladly took our chicks, cats, fish, hotties and babes and watched a large part of our repertoire of westerns and crime stories, which featured much shooting.
