Saranne Gitnick. president of the Jetlnsh Federation of Omaha, announced that the 1990 UJA/Federation Campaign will begin and end earlier than campaigns of previous years. "Leadership for the '90 campaign will be officially announced in the early part of September, and the entire fundraising effort will culminate with the Super Sunday Telethon on January 21," said Mrs. Gitnick.

"We think the change will be a refreshing one for the Omaha Jewish community," said Mrs. Penner. ""The goal is to become more efficient at raising community dollars, and for both the men's and women's divisions to be able to plan together more effectively."

We've beeahere less than a week, but afaready have used all forms of transportation—bus, taxi, car and our feet. Moat Israelis get around by bus and on foot. For 22 New Israeli Shekels (NIS-about two U.S. dollars), an adult gets 25 rides on the bus. That works out to about 62 cents a ride. Children 5-12 are half-price and under five ride for free. The buses run frequently, though not on Shabbat or Jewish hoUdays. Israelis are very polite in giving up their seats for pregnant women, women with babies and the elderly. Taxis are plentiful but prices for rides can be confusing. The law requires drivers to use their meters, but only one driver, has agreed. The rest insist on a fixed price. We were quoted 7.5 NIS for a ride to Yad Vashem, but 16 NIS from another driver for the ride home.( We took another cab). To seat all of us, Mike has to ride in front and the rest of us in back (Avi rides on my lap, not the way we do it in Omaha). After our first week here, Mike picked up a rental car. Prices vary from one car rental agency to another, so Mike went from one to another (most are located on King David or King George streets) to make the best deal. The mini-vans and station wagons are the most expensive—$500 to $750 a week—so we wound up with a Renault which seats five. We're breaking the rxUes (not Israel's, but ours) in riding this way with Avi on my lap, but its the less expensive alternative. The car will run 9350 a week and because we're charging it on a gold Mastercard (MX is fine too), the rental agency will waive the $11 a day insurance charges. That's a savings of $77 a week. Though most Israelis don't Own cars, maoy do. It's surprising, since the govenunent charges a very high import tax it can double the price of a car when you iitclude the freight,too. Israel has no auto industry of its own; we've seen many European and Japanese cars, but few American-made ones. Void cheapest way to get around and sometimes the easiest is on foot. A good map is a must, since names change, streets come to a dead end, and it's easy to get lost. Main streets, like King David are wellmarked, but sometimes in English and sometimes in Hebrew. Asking for directions can lead to confusion, depending on whether you ask the Hebrew or English version of the street name. Street signs are located on the corners of buildings (if at all) but are sometimes covered up by vines or shrubbery. Many streets are one-way. also, and not marked on maps making driving an adventure. One little known statistic is that more Israelis have been killed in car accidents than in all the wars since 1948. Shalom from Israel.

The changing world
In recent days, we have been gfiven a variety of celestial treats including a total eclipse of the moon, a camera's eye view of Neptune, and a number of astronauts whizzing around the earth. The look of earthlings to the heavens is dazzling; what wonders to tehold, what glorious sights andiiis coveries await us in the days to come? So, exploration of the heavens is high on our list of priorities and 1 for one am all for it. Are there any among us who would not want to know as much as we can about the outer reaches of our solar system, the infinite nature of the universe? 1 doubt it. However, while we're looking to the sky, let'3 not fail to look at good old Planet Earth. We have some problems here. A polluted environment, lack of adequate food, clothing, shelter, education and medical care for naore millions than one can estimate, and the constant inability of people and nations to live with one another in peace. These conditions are not clean, bright and dazzling like the world beyond our vision. Pollution, war, hunger, needless suffering are not pleasant to look at. These untidy conditions represent the dark side of life. So what to do? The answer, of course, is to establish priorities and allocate financial and human resources to solve the problems. But, isn't this what is being done? Maybe, but if a visitor from outer space were to look at us and assess our performance, I seriously question that our rating wouki be favorable. The people in the know tell us that the United States is the ricbest country in the world and houses the smartest people in the workL It would seem that the buck should not stop here, but should start here. What we need more than anything is leadership— at federal, state and local tovek. Like the distant stars, good leaders are hard to find, but certainly are worth kioking up to. Finding good leaders is not easy. Our Section process seems to elect people who are capid>le of doing oidy what the voters want them to do. But what voter wants to give up anything? What voter doesn't want laws that benefit his point of ; view? A leader should lead the people into doiikg what is right, not only for his locality, state, or nation, but for that ONE WORLD-planet Earth and all of its inhabitants.
By Jill Kuahner Belinont Thomas Martinez says he gets emotional wheii he talks about his past experiences. Not emotional because he's upset, but because he's so happy to be where he is now. "It feels good to be on the right side," he said, smiling. The experiences to which Mr. Martinez was referring concern his past involvement with such extremist organizations as the Ku Klux Klan, the neo-Nazi National AUiadce and The Order, and the turn of events which led him to repudiate his beliefs. MP. Martinez was in Omaha Sunday night to speak at a fund-raising dinner and reception for the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. I. Robert Wolfson, ADL's Plains States regional director, said 64 attended the dinner and 150 the reception. Mr. Martinez, 33, said he was helped a great deal by the ADL following the departure from his former life, and for three years has lectured iwtionwide on behalf of the AOL, warning about the dangers of hate groups. His involvemeut with extremism began at age 19 when he joined the KKK. Having grown up in poverty in Pbiladelphia, he said that he was tired of hearing the minorities complain that they didn't have anything. "Well, hell, I didn't have anything either." Mr. Martinez said he became more entrenched after seeing David Duke, the Grand Wizard of the KKK, on television.

"Duke's looks and style appealed to me... he didn't have a hood on his head aitd he didn't carry a machine gun." (Last year, Duke, a Republican, was elected to the Louisiana Legislature; he also heads a group known as the National Association for the Advancement of White People.) Mr. Martinez said that he began receiving pamphlets, newsletters about "ZOG ' (Zionist Occupied Govemmmt, a catch-phrase used by many hate groups), and the "hoax" of the Holocaust. "I feU for it. Believe me, it's not hard to be invdoctrinated with prop*gatkda." According to Mr. Martinez. 16,000 to 22,000 people from all walks of Ufe-"doctor*, lawyers, airline pilots"—have joined these orgauzations, and thousands more who don't actually belong contribute money to them.
"Why do people join different groups? Why do people follow Jim and Tammy Bakker? They want to be a part of something; just like me. I fell into a trap of stupidity and ignorance." Mr. Martinez said the the turning point for him was when he reaheed. following radio talk show host Berg's murder how violent and criminal The Order waa. He began to question his membership in the organisation and his own beliefs.

"If I vanished, forgot about it. it would be a cop-out. By being quiet. 1 think they've won." Mr. Martinez has spoken c^t universities, high achools and has appeared on televi»on shows such as NBC's "Todjy.' CBS' "Nightwatch" and "A Current Affair," as well as more than 40 radio programa. In addition, the book he co-authored with John Guinther, "Brotherhood of Murder," is being considered for a tefevision movie, he added. Mr. Martinez atreased the importance of hiatory, aomitting that he had never heard ol the Hotocaust when he was younger.

®Ildl©ff acilmflft m©\57© By JM Boln At the Aug. 14 YES meeting we celebrated Rosaline Epstein's birtlv day with her guests: husband, Sam, and daughter-in-law, Judith Epstein, grandchildren, Laura and David. They came to help celebrate and donated a cake in her honor. We observed a moment of silence in memory of our recently deceased friends: Max Givot, Edith Lorkis, Irene Selo, Lucille Steinberg and Louis Friedman. Ben Sysko showed slides about the antarctic—a lovely and cooling program. On Aug. 17 we met at Beth El for discussion, bingo and entertainment. Margie Nearenberg sang Happy Birthday to Sarah Saltzman, and Gladys
and DoTDthy entertained ua at the piano and with songs. Doc Margolin and Anne were back from their trip east. Tommy Mancuso presented a musical program at the Aug. 21 meeting at the JCK!.
Memorial LONDON (JTA) The Holocaust memorial in Hyde Park was desecrated on two consecutive weekends and the Jewish community is angry but taking it in stride. Two weeks ago, cement was poured on the monument. Last weekend it was splattered with paint. On both occasions, the vandalism coincided with neo-Nazi demonstrations in North London.
Registration forms are now being accepted for the two United Talmud Torah pre-school programs—one for two and three year^dds, one for four and five year olds. Led by Helen Epstein and Harriet Kutler, the groups will meet in the Youth Lounge at Beth El Synagogue in alternating
months, starting with the older chiildren in September, according to Stanley MitcheU, UTTO director. Mr. Mitchell said that each session will have age-appropriate activities, including songs, crafts, games, stories, refreshments and holiday material.
"This is an opportunity for parents to have special onenui-one time with their child," Mr. MitcheU said. Families who did not receive a registration form may call the UTTO
office. 556-3770. There is a nominal charge, Mr. Mitchell said. IbwtabyoijIwortsbrAaOFUS UMMWkl

By Bert Lewis Well gang, we did it. Together, you and I and this one and that one, we did it! What did we do? Let me take you back a couple of weeks when I told you I had been a^ked to cut the length of my columns. The reason for less copy was to make the print larger and thereby make it all more easily read. Sounds like a good idea to make the print bigger, but to cut the copy was enough to make me present the argument to you, and to ask your opinion. That's what I'm saying we did—you and I. I've had the fun of hearing from many of you, by letters, phone calls and just plain running into you; and you tell me to "leave it alone. Don't make it shorter, don't fool aroimd with it." How gratifying to my ego, just when I could use an upper. A lovely lady whom I count as a friend sent her vote in the form of a verse from a song—I love it! Another obviously lovely lady wrote from her home in Lincoln, speaking for herself and another, advising their preferences. She also sent a message giving M.M. (my friend the Editor) a little pfeffer about stuff he uses to fill space in the Press. I also received a note from a dear man who sent "eleven bonafide votes in favor of leaving the colimm as is: smaller print and longer copy." (Thanks for the election!) So what's the bottom line. Do your opinions count? Well Idds, it's a free country and while there's some doubt as to the reality of freedom of the press, when you speak up, you're heard. After I immodestly read aloud one of the letters received in the office, MM threw his hands up in defeat, grinned and said>"OK, you win. We won't cut your space, you can have the whole pagel" Of course, that was exaggeration, but it did restore my privileges with inches. And it's fun to know that sontebody else does care about what I'm doing here. Of course, I'm the first to realize that my words do not have the importance of the insciq)tioa8 on the Rosetta Stone, but still, if we have something in print, we like to know somebody beside the printer reads them. So thanks to all of you who took the time to express your opinions. And whUe I'm at it, I suppose I should also thank those of you who have negative opinions for not airing them. And in deference to my friend Moishe, who knows how to admit defeat gracefuUy, I'm limiting this column to this precise length. But next week, watch out—it's back to normal!

Mrs. Friedman added that members of the community are invited to the opening reception to meet the artistic producer of the exhibit, Patty O'Connor Seger and her husband, Joe Seger.

A theatrical services coordinator who has also written for television shows and worked as a film editor, Mrs. Nogg's company, "Theatre-toGo," will present "Mystery Express," a murdermystery which the audience wiU solve, at the Jewish Community Center on Sept. 9, at 8:30 p.m. (Tickets may be obtained by calling Helen Rifkin or Lois Wine at 334-8200.)

featuring different types of entertainment, according to event chairman Mark Trustin. " 'Theatre-to-Go' means exactly what it says," Mrs. Nogg said. "It is theater that doesn't have a home on purpose. It has a flexible design; that's what sets it apart." Because material can be tailored to clients' needs and because "we can play anywhere, anytime, under any circumstances, the company is not in competition with standard theater," she added. "Theatre-to-Go" was created two years ago and the "Mystery Express" story was the inspiration behind the company's inception. Mrs. Nogg originally wrote the mystery script several years ago for the tel-

Following the heart attack of the series' star, Edward Woodward, production delays ensued and the script was never used, but Mrs. Nogg said she wanted to find another use for it because, "I hated to see it sit on the shelf for a long time." She and her husband, Alvin, had been planning a party and wanted to do something different, so she rewrote the script into an audience participation piece, and "Theatre-to-Go" was born.

Her company of 13 actors works from scripts with a variety of themes: mystery, comedy, musical trivia, and has performed at private parties, corporate functions, church social halls and hospital recreation rooms. The company has also performed on a bus going to and from a football game, and on a boat. Mrs. Nogg said her hope is to eventually have three full companies of actors so that several bookings can take place on the same night. So what can the JCC's audience expect from "Mystery Express"? "A very set, very definitive mystery, but it is different mystery theater," Mrs. Nogg said, declining to elaborate on "dif-

ferent," by only saying, "they'll find out!" "From the moment they walk in the door, they will become the detectives. They will be put into the mood of the "Mystery Express," as if they're getting on the Orient Express," she said. After being split into teams ("They can be in teams with their friends," she noted), "the conductor will give them instructions as to their destinations, then they will depart for their destinations to solve the mystery."
The level of participation will be up to each individual, Mrs. Nogg said, adding that, "We want them to be uninhibited. There's a lot of humor involved Euid a lot of fun." The mystery theater's concept and story should have appeal to many people, she said. "After all, we're all armchair detectives at heart."
