Our Next County Attorney Must be an Experienced Trial Lawyer The office of Douglas County Attorney is one of the most important races coming up In the May 15th primary. We are fortunate to have in the field of candidates, Jim Jansen, a man we feel is by far the most qualified individual for this vital office. Jim Jansen has had 16 years experience as a trial lawyer—5 of them as a Deputy County Attorney. Jansen has tried murder cases, and won. He's tried drug dealers, and beat them. He's prosecuted rape, robbery, firearms and child abuse cases, and won. He knows how to work with the police to get the evidence and make sure it's admissible in court. And he knows that If you've got a good case, you don't need to plea bargain. This office is crucial to the future safety and well-being of the citizens of our city. To turn the position over to anyone without Jim's experience would be a mistake. We urge you to vote for Jim Jansen May 15th.

The words of Magda Fried give meaning to IHolocaust ceremony

Holocaust not debatable Mr. John L. Rom Chnndogy-Hiatorjr Rasearch Instituto BOX3043 ^Mooer, lA 61301 Dear Mr. Rowe: »••

Thank you for alerting me to the May 22 debate at the Institute in Rossi, Iowa, and for advising me that the subject will be whether or not the Holocaust took place. I also ({q>reciate your advising me that "a membCT of an anti-Semitic group, Pastor H«inan Otten" initiated, the event by challenging anyone to debate the affirmative while he debated the negative. It is my understanding firom your letter also that Eugene W. Faulstich of your Institute has accepted the chriknge and will oppose Pastor Otten in the debate. All of the above Is of interest to me, but your invitation to attend and cover the debate is not of interest. I could give you SIX MILLION reasons why it is impossible to delMte this historical fact, but there is insuffident qwce here.

By Morria Maline Fktora with me if you will a aetting that only can be deaa'flied as UlylUc—a time and place that all of us yearn for A reeort hotel in Mezk»... a gentle surf Uqiping against a white aandy beach... a l«ww fanning the treaa offaring ahdter to the vacationers enjbying the best that money can buy... Overlooking this artist's paradise in one of the waters fnot rooms is one ooeiqMnt—Magda Fried, now deceased—who was thinking of things other thu fun and eojoymeot. A survivor of the Holocaust and a woman who had joined her huaband, Sam, in giving eyewitnees testimoqy of this infamous period of histoiy over and over agiin, aeated herself at a desk and took pen in hand. White others nmqied in the surt she Mi conqpeUed .to put some of her thou^ts on paper so that her husband, children, snd perhape, others, mi^t have access to some of her thoughts once she was gone. In the East Senate Chamber of the Nebraska State Capitd last week, Mr. Fried calmly, but tearfully, quoted some of what she had written on a single com- ~ position pad that day: "Why is there no grave where I can go and cry when I ache. Mother, whoe are you? How did you die? Did you sit in a comer with my sister beside you? And was my brother by your feet? Dkl you cdlifiae and hope that this was not true? "Did you go first m did they? Was my brother with you or did he end iq> with his grandfather and Urn akne? Did he cuddle up to his Img, white beard or did he get squnted and feel abandoned, an atone? Who knows and who will ever answer? "Did Sonderkomands notice or pay attention when they came in to move your bodies?'Did they notice that you were a good, young mother who was only 40 years

Let me just refer you to the coverage of the Hokicaust Commemoration Observance on this page and ]et me also tdl you about my visit to the Vietnam Memorial earlier this week in Waahington, D.C. My wife, son, and I walked the length of the wall and rsqMctfuIly pdd tribute to the more than 68,000 servicemen who gaye their lives during that war. I don't know'if Pastor Otten took that same walk, but Idtfy anymeMdo so and then debate iriiether the Viet^ nam War Ktttd|y happened. Dkl thoae fine Americans •ctuaQy die, dt> is flame reviaioalst going to come alcmg one day and claim that it was all a fake? Pastor Otten might say that those who served in Vietnam all died of hi^ blood {Measure. Mr. Rowe, imagine how long a wall one would need to inscribe Uie names of sbt million Jews. To the best of miy knowledge, this is not being contemplated at the preeenttime. However, let me advise you that just a few blocks from the Vietnam Memorial, a nwiseum is being built to make certain thatimti-Semitee and historicil revi- Joe and liUy Boin of Omaha Ught candles for the Six MilUaa at the Hobteanst Observance ceremony in liar sionists are combat«d with historical fact. cobL Sam Fried la at left You may suggsst to Pastor Otten that he visit that museum and then go to the church of his chcrice and beg forgivaness.

60 Omahans Stage airport pep rally for arriving Soviet Jews

By Mmk MaliM Witii American fiags waving and bouquets of flowOTs at the ready, 60 Omaha Jews greeted their brethren from the Soviet Union at Epple3r Airfield Monday ni^t. llie 11 arrivals, representing three additional families to the growing Soviet Jewish presence in Omaha, received a welcome^ like none other to date. Tom Fellman, chairman of the Omaha Jewish Commimity's Op»ation Exodus fundraising effort to raise $1.7 mfllion here for resettlement costs in Omaha and Israel, did something different. One might say that he borrowed some inspiration from P.T. Bamum, that great showman of yester-

year, to providf the new airivala with a atining Nebraska welcome. There wen 60 volunteers, most of whom were youag adults and sinfijesjdjoiag the regular^. They were equipped with flags, flowers and oithusiasm. Mr. Fellman had arranged for the group to meet at the Ruby Tuesday restaurant for late evening refreshments where oldfaahioned mingling and sodaUzing pr^Mtred them f«' the rally at the airport. The group boarded a bys, provided by Mr. Fellman, for the ran to the airport, arriving just minutes before the United Airlines jet. A stunned group of Soviet Jews entered the terminal in small groups to face a battery of profes-

siittial and amatMr fftmtogrqihocs iand a surging crowd of well-wishers. There were pats <ni the back, hugs and kiuea of joy—plenty to reach, out and touch the elderly as well as the jroongsters. Two of tho So\iet women spontaneously stuped back and applauded the greeters. Once the luggage had been stowed aboard the bus, the group departed to the restaurant parking lot before proceeding to the furnished apartments awaiting the new arrivals.

They sdl their thick snow boots and padded coats before they leave Russia, and have to face Jerusalem's cdd, wet winter in their summer clothes. So one of the first tasks for Keren Klita, a Jerusalem-based voluntary organization that provides aid and friendship to Soviet olim, is to diistribute warm, good quality secondhand winter doUies to these newcomers. Within a few days of arrival in the Jerusalem area, the new olim are

greeted by. one of Keren Klita's volunteers, with a few words of welcome and a plastic market basket full of basic foods and cleaning products. Very often that visit is the first contact the olim have with ordinary Israelis. As Abe Stolar, the American-bom longtime refusenik who arrived last year from the USSR, wrote in thanks to Keren Klita: "You were the first breath of the new life, of the new relationships between people." Each volunteer adopts one family, undertaking to visit the new snivels at their absorption center or apartment at least once a week for their first six moQths in the jcountry.

WASHINGTON (JTA) - The United States has provided another $7 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East, to meet the needs of a growing refugee population, the State Department annotmced.

State Department 'perplexed' WASHINGTON (JTA) — The State Department said Monday that it was "perplexed" by acting Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's statements opposing a U.S. framework for an IsraeliPalestinian dialogue. Shamir, who last Friday received a 21-day mandate to try to form a new government, said in an Independence Day radio interview, excerpts of which were broadcast Simday, that any new Likud-led government would not respond positively to a U.S. proposal for a preliminary Israeli-Palestinian dialogue. "We are perplexed by the prime mini8ta''8 statement," said State Department spokeswoman Margaret Tutwiler. "The government of Israel asked us to find a Palestinian partner from the territories to help implement iU May 1989 initiative," which "we ware on the verge of accompUahing," she said.

Paraahat Emor How to pnssnrs Israel After the release of the first, and then tlie second, of the American hostages iMld in Lelianon, the chief terrorist nations (nnt to Libya), Syria and Iran, more or less demanded that the United States make some tit-fbr-tat "humanitarian" gesture, such as freeing Iranian funds blocked in the United States, and pressiu^ ing Israel to free its many hundreds of "hostages." - President Bush correctly announced Uiat there would be no return gestures till all American hostages are freed. I would like to suggest how the Arab world can pressure Israel to &«e the hundreds of convicted terrorists—not hostages—iteid in Israeli prisons^ First, there is needed a formal denunciation of the state (A war by all the Arab statSs stiO formally at war with IsraiaL Next, an achnowiedgmmt of Israd's rig^t to be iriiere it is, by these same states.

Israel in the past has fined hundreds of POW's in return for two or three or five. So far as I know there are no POW's held by Israel, only terrorists. But Israel is known to be soft on this point and will pay dearly for the return of its soldiers. In short, it's very easy to pressure Israel.

Incident at Vichy I M» an Id far a btstdc il^ btlitir day that caoi^t niy attention the way moat cookbook ada tend to. It had to do with special tec^ for particular Jewish holidays, so I stopped to see what was new in this category. Actually, I don't mean "new" as much aa I mean new to me. After all, how can you mess arovmd with tradition? As it turns out, quite a bit. The information implied that if yoq wanted to find just the perfect thing to make for HaAokkah or Paasovw or maybe for ShaVoos (my spelling), this was the book. Tluo it went on to dasoribe in a little detail what the reader could expect The thing that caught my eye was "Mexican Fish with Green Sauce," which was described as "a tasty alternative to gefilte fish at Passover." Honestly, that's what it said. All I eoold think of was M who wants a tasty alternative to geifilte fish (at Passover yetl) and (b) what wouM those who were expecting my fish say about something strange served with green sauce? I don't even want to think about it The other unusual recipe toi get my instant attention was something called Jerusalem Kogd. Sounds pe^ fectly legitimate, doesn't it? Wait a minute-the desoipdye phrase fdUowing said "a sweet and peppery spaghetti pudding." I thfaik this might be the plioe to draw the line, whether you draw from ri^t to left or left to right A kugel is a kugel, unless it's a keegal and that has to do with where your family came from, not whether it's made from sweet and peppery spa^ietti, for crying out loud! Certainly there are many recipes for kugel/keegal— some are of noodles, some are of potatoes or m^^ matzo concoctiMU. Some are sweet with raisins $adlar apples and cinnamon, some are loaded with cottage cheese and sour cream (I know, I know), aome to plainer than that. But none of them is anything like the one meotioaed above. And while I have no proof of thia, I'd bet three dried apricots and two pnmes they never heard of that om in Jerusalem either. To be absdutely positive, it may be necessary to go back to Israel to make sure, but I think I'm ri(^t. Hie third item to make me groan loud oiough to be heard in the next room advised there was also a recipe for Taimmes Tarrine.J)K. I give up—now I have to at least find a copy of thi& book to k>ok through, if not buy. I know from tsimmes in several different forms. But as a tenine, never. After all, how many liberties can anybody take with tradition? A terrine, in case you don't know. LB (foovdiiig to my authority, JuUa Child), "a onmronation of freen ground meats mixed with wine or cognac, herbs and sptoee, baked in a kiaf and aerved cold in thick fi-agrant slices." I aak you, doea that sound like taimmes? And I'm not even going to tell you what kind of meat is used in a real terrinel Well, I suppose the person who compiled the recipes for this book thinks she's got a modern miracle. Personally, I'm very disappointed. But you have to undei^ stand that I'm offended by adding such alien objects as chocolate chips to mandel bread. I'm a traditionalist—if I were C^holic, I'd probably insist on the Latin Mass. Being Jewish, I denumd complete loyalty to origin. My tsimmes has meat carrots, sweet potatoes, prunes and I forgot what elae. But it's not all ground up and. baked in a loaf. My original recipe (which was the wi(y Bobie Lewis made it), ciJIed for a kaadel, mixed with equal parta of flour, water and ReadyMix cement but no cognac! Well, I dim't want to influence you. Maybe your family would eqjc^ a taaty alternative to g^te fish, with green saucel Count me out

By Edwin Eytan PARIS (JTA) - An incident in which Vichy France police officials during World War II deported Jewish children above and beyond Nad requests was reported last weekend by the French news magaxlnB L'Ejqvess. Althou^ the episode, which resulted in the deaths of thousands, was one of the most repugnant ATfrryliw of Nazi eouaboration by FrenchmeD during the war, not (me of the officials has been brought to justice, the masscirculation newsweekly reported. It htgKXk when French police arrested 3,600 Jewish children in July 1942 on orders of the Vichy government. The Nazis had adced only for the detention of adulta over 16. But the Vichy police also rounded up children under 16, and as young as 6 months. lite children were ctmfined with their mothers in two concentration camps that were built and run by the French inside France, while Vkhy waited for fui^ tlur instructions from the Germans, L'Express rqxvted. Louis Darquier de Pellepoix, at the time in charge of Jewish affairs in AHchy, suggested that the childrot be placed in special homra in France.

Due to the dedication and hard wuk (tf all, the people successfully reached their goal of becoming 1990 Most Improved AZA Chapter of the Year. The BBYO advisory board is proud of Chaim Weizmann and hope they strive for hi^ber goals for the coming year. At Winter Regional Convention 1989, Ccsnbelt Council BBYO cleaned .up in the awards cat^ory. In addition to Chaim Weizmann's Most In4>roved AZA Chapter of the Year, Mother Chapter AZA 11 is the proud winner of the 1990 AZA Chapter of the Year award. Ediar BBG f710 received the 1990 BBG Chapter of the Year award and M.Z. Yoehanah #2063 received an award of Special Recognition. M.Z. haa done a wonderful job and all the members are having fun, which is the most important part of BBYO.

Thtre'a an old saying that goes, "April showers bring May fiowera," but in our stratoq>here hen in Omaha, May seems to bring mwe than the bright tul^ and the fragrant delicate Iflacs. May brings proms, elections, all Idnda of graduations and not the least, confirmation. On May 9, United Talmud Torah of Omaha with students from Beth El Synagogue and Beth Israel Synagogue had its eighthjprade gradiiation. Omaha Hig^ School of Jewish Studies also held 12th grade graduation ceremonies. The following students graduated from OHSHS: Jennifer Chandler, Bertram Cohen, William Golbitz, Alan Kricsfeid, An Riekes, Karen Schwalb and David Skid. Ten^ Israel will hold confirmation ceremonies for their 10th grade students May 29. A banquet for family members will proceed the ceremony. And minds were on elections too. With all the bickering between local politida^is, the United Synagogue Youth decided to keep everything in the family after Derek Altman was elected president and his brother Andy Altman was elected vice president. Anyone elected to the USY Board for the coming year decided it would be easier to adopt the last name of Altman. The six other officers an answer to the name of Altnoan now. If blood is thicker than water it mig^t make for a more productive year, if they can keep their mail straight! The girls of Ediar and M.Z. Yoehanah gathered at the Red lion Saturday evening with their dates to announce their honorary beaus for the coining year. All beaus, potential beans and a few daring others were attired in traditional tux with bright twumarbunds peetking out of their fronts. The girls were aU a sparkle with pretty formal dresses, trimmed with flowers at their wrists or shouldera. Some girls had ribbons that matched thmr beau'a tie or cummerbund. It seemed to be quite a liberated party with a table set in the haU that hekl glamour picturea of an the beau candidates. A qtiick check of the history of the clubs revealed that for more than several decades girls have been electing boys of their choice to serve at the pleas\m of their clubs. Ediar and M. Z. members could vote tot the beau of their choice if they acid at least (60 worth of ads far their program. The program contained pictures of the beaua and wiahed candidatee wdl. Anxious panntajatbend at the Red lion for thacort onation at 11 pjn. Cameras flaahed as girls escorted the beaus down the aiaki. Wendy Sheldon named eech beau, with a short description arid what tmiversity, such as Emory or Northwestern, that th«y planned to attend. Finally the two new beaus were announced: Brian Lewis tot M.Z. and Josh Hoberman fa* Ediar. Balloons hugged the ceiling as a round of applause was heard. A new set of triplets was bom when three girls appeared at the Beau Dance in the same dress. Not to be embarrassed or undcpe, they had a good time by having their pictive taken together. A lot of hard work went into the preparation for the dance, which was chaired by Wendy Sheldon.

New studies program NEW YORK (JTA) The first Jewish studies program in more than 50 years was established at a Moscow university. But following the storming of the Moscow writers'uiion by Pamyat in January, it la unclear what reception it will raodva.

Basovskaya, vice president for curriculum at the Moscow State Institute of History and Archives. Basovskaya was in New York for the formal signing of the joint program in Jewish studies between the Moscow State Institute, the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and the YIVO Institute of Jewish Raaearch. According to Basovskaya, some academics at the Moscow State Institute are diatruatful of the innovative program.

Ben Nelson Editor's Note: Ben Nelson, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, made tiie following statement daring a talk to Breadbreakers last week. In 1986, Kay Orr said if you vote for Helen BoosaUs, your taxee will go up. A lot of Nebraskans voted for Helen Boosalis and, sure enough, their taxes went up. I knew then and everybody in the state knows now that Kay Orr was not being straight with the people of Nebraska during the 1986 campaign. In 1987, she said her tax plan would be fair and would sell itself. The truth of the matter is, however.

that the tax plan waa not fair and the average working family has taken it on the chin. It is now time that we do something about the inequitiee established 1^ the Kay Orr tax plan of 1987. The tax issue is not the only thing on Nebradcans' minds. We continue to be concerned about the exodus of our youth and the "importance of having job opportunities and economic development in our state in order to keep our youth in Nebraska and attract others here. While I am in favor of tax incentives to keep Nebraska's businesses strong and growing as well as attracting new business to our state, I believe Kay Orr gave away the store. The truth of the matter is that even today, some three years later, we do not know the price tag of LB 775 and the companion lejpslation. The On adm^tration tdla us that we may not know the true price tag until near the end of this decade, lliat's too kmg. Weneed tohave a report card on the progress of LB 775 at the eariiest possible date so we can know what impact it is having not only on our tax revalues but on our tax credits.

By Jean Cohen ATHEhfS (JTA) - A reported tip from the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, has led the Greek authorities to impound steel forgings alleged to be part of a "super-gun" manufactured in Britain for Iraq. The truck driver who brought them to Greece has been questioned and faces a hearing. The suspicious cargo was seized April 19 at the port of Patras, in western Greece. The truck arrived there in a car ferry from Brindisi, in southeastern Italy. The weekly To Vima claimed that after British Customs coofiacated probable gun parts, as they were about to be loaded aboard ship at the northern England port of Middlesborough earlier this month, the Iraqis decided to transport the rest over land. According to the newapaper, Moaaad knew the routes and had the truck under surveillance.

Happy Birthday Morris Epstein pressed Ua wish to join his t^ ByBwtUwk 'r^' ODMwl6,th0fuiia]rof father as a cattle buyer Morria Epstein will cdeImte his 100th birthday. Iliis ia a bright, sharp, pleasant man iriu stin dufinya a livdy intsrest in the mxld around him. His vision is dim but his eyes sparkle with luunor anyway; his hearip^ is impaled, but if you pbm to have a conversation with him, be on your toes. And listen careiUly because ^ has many stories to talL He begins by qMsking loving of his parents and his birthplace,..a town called Parich hi Russia. He teUa of his father's occupation as a catUe buyer, of living well and having plenty to eat and a comfortable home with his four brothers and one sister. It must be remembered that most stragglad to provide enough to eat at this time, so the memory is shared with noticeable ^ pride. He remembers being taught by several different rabbis and being the age of 13 when he decided he had enough education. He ex-

and so began a career. He tells humoroosly of his eqwriencee, first with his tether, then later with other buyers. He knew he needed to expand his knowledfle as much aa poesiUa ana sou^ to do so in diflarent farming areas. He reiterates be was "a Ug, huaky kid," able to handle hunself with the animals (and the adults with whom hs woriced). He recalls how he decided, at about 16, that he needed to get away from hia home toritoiy. He travded to Katrinialav, in the Ukraine, and found a place to stay with a family friend. He found work and continued his career as a cattle buyer, adding to his skills by learning to also be a "sbechet." So now he killed the beef cattle also, and soon developed expertise as a butcher... This was temporary, however, and at about 18 be decided he wanted to go back home to Parich. He went back a successful youth, with money in his pocket and the reputation

of a hard worker. He had met, before leaving, a pretty gfri named Sarah. He was more than a little interested in finding hw, and aha returned the intereat HM only obatacle was the Russian Army— aoon after hia return home, he was called to serve the Czar.

Morria Epstein As was the custom, he tried to avdd setvioe, but no sudi hick. He becamea soldier and gathered still nHHe experiencee for his life's story. He served three years before an injury, which required surgery, hdped return him to dvflian status. After the surgery he was sent home for a six-month rest; his good luck was at the end of the time when he was dedsred unfit to return to duty (by a sympathetic Out of the service, life went on snd soon included his sngagement to thi beautiful Sarah. He

worked hard to aave enougb to auiqioct a wife and ^ the time he waa 26, they were piarxied. Around that time there was much upheaval in Russia. The Czar was UDed and the unrest which followed brought pogroms never to be ftirgotten. ^ylS22 Morris bed not only a wife but two little boya, Simon and Hymie. The Utter gave his life while in the army during Wwld War H. That was the year ('22) when the Epsteins decided it waa iiine to come to America. Morris' parents and two brothers were already here, so plans were made. There was one surprise, however—the arrivsl of daughter, Ida. Because of her imminent birth, the family waited in Poland where she was bom. As soon as possible after that, they resumed their travels, ultimately to arrive in Omaha. Monis immediately picked up a few little jobs to support his famfly but nothing struck him as "the ri«^t work." As luck would have it, a new store called Central Market opened and Morris was hired by the three Knlakflftkys, Louia, Harry and Reuben, to work as a butcher. He remembers he began his job at 919 per wedc, a living wage at the tinoe. The fsmHy soon purchased a house of thefr own and continoed to grow and prosper as Americans. Dau^ter Rose had ai> rived to complete the family circle and the Epateina were able to once again gather as they had done when they were in Parich; Morris' parents had settled here before he came. The father was the Epstein of Epstein and MushUn, botchers (w the new north side. Morria wnked for Central Market for 46 years, managed thier wholesale meat department, and remembers fondly the

Kulakofoky family. Ha fesb they playad an important role fa) his life and he did the aama for them. I doubt they would diqnite that statemsnt Morris' life changed greatly with the loaa of hia wife, Sarah, hi July of 1971. He ropained independent and kept house for himsdf until an accident aboot a year ago curtailed hia activitiaa. He now resides in the Blumldn Home whoe he walka with the aid of a walker. But he's still interested in everything. His dan^ter, Ida, remembers walldng in on him a few yeara back while he was watching tiie newa. He was obvkNisly in grsat distress snd told her emotionsUy, "Ida, I have to go to WaaUngton." When questioned about the reason for the trip, he refdied, "I've got to talk to the Preaident. I could straigliten him outi" Pws<maUy. it wouldn't surinise me one iota. Well, Morris leads a quiet l^e these days. He's glad to have company and will tell you about his lovely family. His youngest. Rose, and ho- husband. Joel Qroea, live in Califwoia and have a daughter, Jody. Morria says Jody is "a doctor for kinder" (a pediatrician)

and ia haraetf married to "a regular"doctar. Thay have three little boya^ Morria' great-grandchildr«i. Then there's Ida, married to Yale Richards. Thay are the parents of Skip, who with hia wife have two little gfria, Sarah (for her great-grandmother) and Lisa. Bruce is the sscond con, recently married. <J|)deat 3(ni, Simon, and his wife, Irene, live on the west coast and, as mentioned eariier, the second Epstein son, Hymie, was killed in Deconba^ of 1942 while serving in the Armed Forcee. When you prepare to leave, after a nice visit with Morris, he sasrs firmly, "Come agak." And often as not, repeats it, to make sure the message haa been delivered. (Clearly, he loves con^sny, loves retelUng his stories, loves the lnteracti<Hi of another peraon. Perhiqw it just bdls down to the fact that he loves people. When sa^ng goodbye after our visit, I irished him good hesItJi and told him I'd come again next year to help him celebrate hia 101st birthday. He brushed it all aside with a sweep of his hand, said, "yeah, yaah, yeah... but come again." I will

There were police reports of intra-Satmar fistfights, window breaking and bottle throwing that required police reinforcements to control The skirmishes were ostensibly set off by the transfer of a prominent Satmar study hall and resideoce from the deceased rebbe's widow in upstate New York to her former Brooklyn home, now occupied by one of her supporters. liie late rebbe, or chief rabbi, Joel Teitelbaum, lived with his wife, Feige, in that building until his death in 1979. Their nephew, the current rebbe, Moses Teitelbaum, lives in what is known as his royal "court" across the street. Supporters of the current rebbe are wary of her possible return to Brooklyn from Kiryas Joel, a

Satniar endave in New York's Orange County, where the widow moved after her nephew's ascendancy, seversl years ago. When the' willow's supporten installed metal gates outside the controversial building, supporters of Moses Teitelbaum tore them off a few hours latsr.

"Out of a sense of frustration can come the seeds for real change. As I talk to people, I hesif disillusioned citizens asking what we must do to finally put an end to the violence associated with the dealing of drugs in our cities and towns. I hear a readiness to commit to programs for the education of our young, as long as there is fairness in how our schools are to be funded. I hear a desire for policies that foster economic vitality while recognizing that we are not separate from our environment. We know there are no pat answers. We know there are challenges to be met as we foster positive change. And we know that to have a stake in the future of Nebraska requires dedication and participation among one and all. New leadership must listen. New leadership must be willing to work within the network of the community. Alew leadership must understand that every tough decision must be tempered by caring. I believe I have prepared myself for the task of iesKlership. Now I need your support. Help me with the campaign if you can. Put up a yard sign. Make calls to get out the vote. Together, we can make a difference." Hwjm (or Ligislalure 1103 South 1im Stmel. Suite 11 Omaha, Mettraslca 68144
