A celebrated dancer with a gift for teaching
From Lincoln Center to Battery Park, Senegalese dancer inspires students
By Jaclyn Marinese

Maguette Camara teaching class at the Community Center at Stuyvesant High School. Its one of many classes being offered by the Battery Park City Parks Conservancy.
At the beginning of his West African dance classes at Stuyvesant High School, Maguette Camara always explains the relevance of the movements he is about to teach.
One recent Sunday afternoon, Camara stood barefoot talking to his students about a dance called Sarakoraba. It gives thanks to the Gods after a good year of harvest, explained Camara, a native of Senegal. For Camara, a man of peaceful stature with the chiseled limbs of a life-long dancer, music and dance have always been a way of life.
What I like to do is show people our culture because there are a lot of people who have no idea about what we are doing, said Camara. There are people who think that all we do is kill each other. To me, dance and music is a positive way of showing our culture, by explaining how we live and why we do the music and the dances.
Maguette Camara, 34, began dancing at age eight in his hometown, Dakar. He danced with The Ballet Bougarabou Dance Company, a group founded by the parents of a close childhood friend. It provided Camara with constant exposure to a world where music and dance were part of the everyday routine.
Being around them made me just do this without even knowing that I was doing it, said Camara.
In 1992, when the group went on tour, it came to New York City. Camara never left. Today, Maguette Camara is a celebrated choreographer, musician and teacher. He teaches at The Alvin Ailey School, Barnard College, the Djoniba Dance and Drum Centre on East 18th St., and the Battery Park City Parks Community Center at Stuyvesant. He has performed at Carnegie Hall, The Lincoln Center Outdoor Concert Series, The World Trade Center Jazz Festival in 2001, the African Museum in Soho, and in 1995 he opened the Rolling Stones World Tour at Giants Stadium. He was also featured on Good Morning New York as well as in a series of television commercials on MTV in celebration of Black Music Month in 2002.
Along the way hes impressed many of his colleagues.
He is excellent in every possible way, said Denise Jefferson of the Alvin Ailey School. After watching him for the first time, Jefferson was impressed by his knowledge, musicality, and ability to communicate with students.
Hes been dancing long enough to have an extensive library of steps and the ability to create his own choreography, said Djoniba Mouflet, founder and executive director of Djoniba Dance and Drum Center, where Camara has been teaching for eight years.
Hes also been very humble and open about learning, which has definitely helped him grow to where he is today, said Mouflet.
At Barnard College, classes are made up of many students coming from different levels of ability from dance majors to people who are taking it as an elective class.
Hes able to recognize what everybody needs, said Sarah White, senior anthropology major at Barnard and one of Camaras students.
If you havent had a lot of training, hell explain the moves in different ways, slowing it down or demonstrating it several times without allowing those who are more advanced to get bored or frustrated. Hes good at striking that balance.
Camara is also the founder of Mané Kadang, a group of West African dancers and musicians from Senegal, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone and Burkina Faso.
I started this group because it is a nice way to show my students the real form of dance, and how it is done, said Camara. We have a lot of countries represented in the group so we can show each tradition because we dont all have the same way of living or doing the movements.
Camara moves gracefully across the floor counting the steps out loud for his students. He takes large, outward steps, then steps in with his feet and hands together, seemingly looking into himself. After several demonstrations, he moves over to a large wooden hand drum that is set to the side of the room and seamlessly transforms from dancer to musician as his counts are turned into the sound of his hands hitting the drum.
Sometimes the step is conducted by the drumming, and sometimes the drumming is conducted by the steps, he said about this most basic element of his art form. The live drumming is giving more energy to the dancers.
Energy is one thing Camara has an abundance of. After commuting every day from his home in Mount Vernon, just north of the city, he teaches full days of extremely physical classes.
The life of an artist is a struggle all the time, always, said Camara. And sometimes we do it without making that much money, but the love that you have by doing it is wonderful
If it was just the money I would have already left a long time ago.
If an educator shows passion for what they do, it can only draw students in, said Katie Glasner, acting chair and senior associate at The Department of Dance at Barnard College.
His absolute unbridled joy for what he does is simply infectious. She refers to a quote by Haveoc Ellis that reads, Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself.
I know this is Maguettes point, she said. It is who he is as a dancer and as a teacher.

Kim Gottlieb-Walker has worked with many titans of film like John Carpenter, Steven Spielberg, and Clint Eastwood. Shooting not only for film and television, she is responsible for many of the iconic photos of Bob Marley that we have today.
Need another reason to come out of your mom's basement and head to Comic Con this year? Well it looks like "Underworld 4" will get it's big premier there in just a couple weeks and what's more the film's star Kate Beckinsale will be on hand to answer a bunch of nerdy questions that you shouldn't actually care about. Dust off your Boba Fett costume, I bet she'll be impressed by it.
While things are still ramping up on Rob Zombie's "The Lords of Salem" the crusty one has been nice enough to give us a glimpse of one of the nasty props he has come up with for the film. Namely a big old chair with tons of little spiky bits shooting out of it that I assume will be used for some sort of witch trial fun. There's also a picture of his wife's ass on the page if the chair doesn't do it for you.
To celebrate it's 20th anniversary 1981's "Halloween 2" will be getting the blu-ray treatment on September 13th of this very year. Trust me I did the math. Along with an alternative ending the disc will also be packed with the 1984 documentary "Terror in the Aisles" which is hosted by Dr. Loomis himself, Donald Pleasence. I can't wait to see what they do for "Halloween H20" in just 7 short years.
Every jackass with a phone can get a video of Beyonce falling on her ass these days and luckily they can also get some video from the set of "The Dark Knight Rises". In the clip you can see Anne Hathaway prancing around the stand-in for Wayne Manor in foggy old England. honestly this could be a behind the scenes shot from "The Princess Diaries 3" for all I know. I think Christopher Nolan is set to direct that too.
MTV announces plans and casting info for their upcoming "Teen Wolf" TV series adaptation. Yes, you read that right.
Out promoting her upcoming movie "Avatar" that you may have heard of, Sigourney Weaver drops some possible plot bombs pertaining to "Ghostbusters 3". These are pretty juicy details, so I will leave them out of this post. If you're intrigued as to the future of Peter Venkman and Oscar the baby? Be sure to click through.
Have you ever wanted to see Neve Campbell's moist, lip-quivering histrionics in the THIRD-DIMENSION? No? Well, sorry, but according to a Bloody Disgusting "exclusive", Scream 4 will be shot in 3-D. Speaking of 3-D, Roger Ebert just wrote a great piece about how if you like 3-D you are an idiot. This Scream news really brings his point home.
Steve Niles confirms that 30 Days of Night: Dark Days is currently in production and starring such acting luminaries as...well, all that matters is that Diora Baird is headlining. I don't have to be a vampire to know what of hers I'd like to suck! (To clarify, it would be her breasts. Possibly her vagina, depending on her bathing habits.)
Rob Zombie, perhaps the greatest (horror) director of all-time, announced on his Myspace that his soon-to-be-classic Halloween 2 will be returning to theaters next weekend, just in time for the holiday. That's great news but, really Rob, Myspace? It's hard for me to defend you when you're still using an archaic social networking device as your primary news delivery system. Can we get a Facebook, or a Blogspot or something? I'd be willing to do it for you...
We return to talk about what might be the worst weekend for horror in 2009, when both "Halloween 2" and "The Final Destination" dropped on unsuspecting audiences.
Labor Day, while an awesome excuse to lay around and do nothing for three days, is about as fallow a film going period as you'll find on the calendar.
For those of you missing the BGH Podcast during our week off, I can give you a tiny bit of relief. A quarter of it at any rate!
Just like that it's over: one of the most highly anticipated weekends by horror fans in recent memory has come and gone.

Xamarin Studio Refresh
Besides the exciting advances in forms design and abstraction, the first major change that existing Xamarin Studio users will notice is the enhanced level of polish that envelopes the IDE. While it still doesn't have the ultra-sleek look of Apple Xcode or Microsoft Visual Studio, it is looking better than ever before.
Figure 5: The new look of the Xamarin Studio welcome screen.
There are also a few enhancements to make project workflows easier, such as built-in support for the NuGet package manager and the ability to work with Microsoft's new Shared Projects support to allow easier project/solution collaboration between Xamarin Studio for OSX and Visual Studio for Windows. And for those developers who prefer functional languages, Xamarin now provides full support for F#. Personally, I'll continue to do most of my work in C#, but with the incorporation of F#, does this mean that VB.NET-like language support for iOS and Android isn't far behind?
Figure 6: Xamarin now provides first-class support for F#.
Visual Studio Enhancements (All the Way Back to VS2010)
Xamarin recently acquired Clarius Consulting, a company well known among Microsoft developers for its extensions to Visual Studio. This investment boosted Xamarin's integration and interoperability of its tools within the Visual Studio IDE. For example, instead of having separate Visual Studio extensions for both Android and iOS development, Xamarin 3 delivers its multi-mobile development goodness in a single extension. This design lowers the extension management complexity while ensuring that both Android and iOS support is maintained in lock-step upgrade and maintenance support.
The new release also delivers full Portable Class Libraries (PCL) support. PCL is Microsoft's new approach to building reusable code libraries across multiple platforms running .NET (Desktop, Windows Phone, XBox, etc.). Xamarin also provides full documentation for Base Class Libraries (BCL) for better IntelliSense look-ups.
Figure 7: Creating Android, iOS and Windows Phone 8 apps almost entirely within Visual Studio is possible using Xamarin 3.
Android Enhancements
Xamarin Studio also improves the Android development experience by fully supporting Google's next-generation Android RunTime (ART), which is expected to officially replace the aging Dalvik runtime in a future release of the Android OS. Xamarin has also expanded its support of dozens of emerging devices based on the Android OS including Amazon's FireTV, Google Glass, and various smart watches and other wearables. I was able to create and run Xamarin Android apps in several different Android emulators and the Xamarin runtime (which can also be linked directly into an Android app) executed flawlessly on each.
Recognizing the bewildering variety of shapes and sizes housing the Android OS, Xamarin is working on a new service (called Xamarin Test Cloud) designed to test Android applications on literally hundreds of different Android devices. Xamarin has a lab filled with actual Android hardware that they will execute and test Android customer programs (and not just those built with Xamarin Studio, but any tool capable of compiling a native Android application), and deliver a compatibility report. This service is expected to be available later this year.
Xamarin University
Available as a separate service, Xamarin University is the company's online training for the Xamarin suite of technologies. Unlike many other training courses, Xamarin's courses are presented live and vary daily. This gives participants a more targeted approach to learning and helps to maintain engagement. At the cost of $1,995 per year, Xamarin University is hands-down the best online live educational experience for mobile developers today.
I had the chance to attend three online sessions in conjunction with this review, each taught by a different instructor. Online class sizes ranged from four to more than a dozen students, with instructors taking the time to get to know each attendee and their objectives before training started. Instructors also took the time to help out individuals requiring additional assistance with running an example or understanding a concept. They even provided consulting on some of the developers' projects, giving specific insight and expertise on which approach would work best. For developers committed to the Xamarin platform for their mobile development needs, enrollment in Xamarin University delivers an excellent educational value. It is also the only way to attain Xamarin mobile developer certification status, as Xamarin University classes are required prior to taking Xamarin's certification exam.
Figure 8: Xamarin University delivers a daily selection of live instructor online classes.
My only criticism is that Xamarin's training service needs to be offered with more flexible subscription durations. Currently, Xamarin University is available only as an annual subscription, but it would be more approachable to developers wanting to try out the service if Xamarin offered monthly or quarterly options that could be applied toward the annual subscription rate and credit toward developer certification.
Pricing and Availability
Xamarin 3 has already been available to Xamarin's beta channel subscribers for a few weeks and it was officially elevated to its production-level Stable channel on May 28, 2014. Existing, active annual Xamarin subscribers will automatically receive these impressive improvements at no additional charge. New subscribers will pay the same the same annual rate that current subscribers pay, which starts at free for individual use and ranges to $1,899/year for enterprise customers. If you don't use or require Visual Studio integration, the $299/year option is an excellent bargain, while the $999/year business plan is the most cost-effective if you don't need next-day SLA, immediate hotfixes, and a dedicated technical account manager assigned to your organization.
Final Thoughts
With this release, Xamarin goes from offering a useful, cross-platform C# technology solution to providing the best multi-platform, native mobile development solution, bar none. The new release is also a must-have upgrade for existing Xamarin subscribers. If you work as an ISV, corporate developer, or even just a mobile developer hobbyist, you owe it to yourself to give Xamarin 3 a try. My only concern is for the company's long-term independence. Xamarin has assembled such a winning product and service collection that they are ripe for acquisition by a major technology company. Personally, I hope Xamarin's leadership can withstand the temptation to be acquired and keep the company entirely focused on making major strides in the mobile development arena.

We are so fortunate to have Mary Rita Rohde running for a position on the Sunnyside School Board this year.
It is a great opportunity for the citizens of Sunnyside to get an amazing and dedicated individual to represent them on the school board. She brings with her a wealth of quality experience in education at both the school district and university levels. Her history speaks for itself when you visit Heritage University and see her picture on the wall, honoring her as one of its founders.
Her dedication to our community is evident, given the countless hours of service she has provided to parents and families through Nuestra Casa, a successful non-profit that she established in Sunnyside 10 years ago in collaboration with the Sisters of the Holy Names. She has many years of experience working on budgets and strategic planning to help build success on school and community committees, boards and commissions locally and throughout the Yakima Valley.
Sister Mary Rita is bilingual in Spanish and truly understands how to make a difference. She is networked and connected to students, parents, teachers and administrators in our schools and our community. If you speak with anyone who knows her, they will tell you that she is about impacting positive change for Sunnyside schools.
Please join me in voting for Mary Rita Rohde, School Board, District 3.

PARIS (JTA) Members of
a Jewish defense organization
attacked extreme right-wing
demonstrators, injuring eight.
Two were in serious condition,
according to police sources.
The demonstrators belonged
to a right-wing royalist move-
ment opposed to Jean-Marie
Le Pen's National Front,
which they consider "too
Police said some 30 hooded
people armed with steel bars
rushed at the extreme right-
wing group as it was preparing
to take part in Joan of Arc
celebrations in the center of
The attack lasted less than a
minute and was described as
"very violent." The attackers
hit at the demonstrators' legs
and heads. The two seriously
wounded men suffer from
serious head injuries including
broken bones.
Police said 10 suspects have
been arrested and four have
been charged and put in
preventive detention. The
four, according to police
sources, belong to the Jewish
Combat Organization.
It is the same group that at-
tacked the office of a right-
wing publication last
December and, on May 1,
detonated smali bombs outside
the offices of four organiza-
tions close to the extreme

Officials Charge NBC for Possible Censorship Violation
By HUGH ORGEL
Government officials are in-
vestigating charges that NBC
News may have violated cen-
sorship rules when it broadcast
a bulletin of an Israel Defense
Force incursion into southern
Lebanon, The Jersualem Post
NBC broke into its regular
programing with the bulletin
hours before the IDF officially
announced the operation. The
early report may have given
terrorists in southern Lebanon
advance warning, enabling
them to escape, The Jerusalem
Post said.
If the NBC correspondent
filed the report without sub-
mitting it to the military cen-
sor, it would be the second
such breach by the American
network in the past two
weeks. The Israel Government
Press Office previously
suspended the credentials of
NBC correspondent Martin
Fletcher allegedly violated
censorship rules with a report
on the Israeli government's
purported involvement in the
assassination of Khalil al-
Wazir, second in command of
the Palestine Liberation
Organization, who was gunned
down at his home in Tunis.
The NBC bulletin claimed
that 2,000 Israeli troops had
entered southern Lebanon and
that their objective was
unknown. No other American
network broadcast a special
bulletin and Israeli military
sources said the NBC estimate
of troops involved was wildly
The Jerusalem Post quoted
"sources in southern
Lebanon" as describing the
IDF operation as a "show of
strength rather than a military
mission aimed at specific

news of the operation had ap-
parently been deliberately
leaked to the foreign media
in direct contravention of the
usual practice during an IDF

Orthodox Archives Partly Destroyed In Fire
By WILLIAM SAPHIRE
NEW YORK (JTA) The
Agudath Israel of America
hopes to be able to reconstruct
at least part of the National
Orthodox Jewish Archives
destroyed by a fire that swept
through one floor of the
organization's national head-
quarters in Lower Manhattan.
Rabbi Moshe Sherer, presi-
dent, estimated the damage to
the office in the hundreds of
thousands of dollars. But the
archives were priceless, he
No one was hurt in the blaze,
which gutted the 11th floor at
84 William Street. The New
York fire marshal had confirm-
ed that the fire was not of a
suspicious nature and
originated with a faulty elec-
trical fixture.
They contained thousands of
documents and photographs
relating to the Holocaust, Or-
thodox Jewish life in pre-
Holocaust Europe and the ac-
tivities of Orthodox Jews in
the United States, before and
during the Holocaust, to
rescue Jews in Europe.
They were "a major
repository of matters relating
to an urgent time in history,"
Sherer said. He said the fire
destroyed 80 to 85 percent of
the archives and what was not
burned is waterlogged.
The waterlogged material
can be restored by profes-
sionals, Sherer said. He said he
hoped much of what was a
total loss could be retrieved
through appeals to scholars
and others who have used the
archives in the past.
He explained that many of
the burned documents had
been photocopied and that
many books have been written
based on material culled from
the archives.

Klein Advocates Free Market
By MANFRED NEUBER
Bonn/Damascus (DaD)
When Germany's Economic
Cooperation Minister Hans
Klein tours the Third World
the message he has for his host
countries is that the free
market economy spells pro-
gress and economic develop-
ment. This was the message he
took with him to Syria, an
Arab country with a planned
economy in the throes of a
serious economic crisis. Inter-
national experts doubt
whether he will have succeed-
ed in gaining a hearing in
On the eve of three hours of
talks with President Assad,
Hans Klein asked German
businessmen in Damascus
what advice they would give
the Syrian leader on what to
do about the country's
economy. Encourage private
enterprise and private in-
itiative, they said. That would
boost business confidence in
the future of the Syrian
As Klein then told "German
Features" (DaD), he was in
Syria to promote trade, small-
scale industry and small and
medium-sized farmers. In his
view, many Syrians who had
transferred capital abroad
would be keener to invest in
Syria if only government con-
trols were eased.
The Federal Republic of Ger-
many has made fresh aid
pledges in development aid for
1988. It will mainly go toward
finacing a gas turbine power
station. A decision will soon be
reached, in connection with
specific projects, on unfreez-
ing earlier pledges that were
frozen until last year on ac-
count of political differences
between Bonn and Damascus.
Asked what contribution
German development aid
might make toward promoting
peace in the Middle East,
Klein said: "German experts,
German know-how and Ger-
man money can be of use in
regional development. Further
development and im-
provements in living condi-
tions are a contribution toward
relaxation of political tension,
no matter how modest the Ger-
man contribution may be."
In his talks with Syrian of-
ficials he dealt mainly with
projects in which German aid
will assist in rural develop-
ment, in improving energy and
water supplies and in pro-
viding vocational training.
When his hosts referred to red
tape he noted: "It's just like in
the European Community.
There's no chance of free
market activity in
Syria was a focal point of
German development aid until
the early 1980s.
The Federal Republic of Ger-
many is one of Syria's
foremost trading partners.
Experts are agreed that, in-
view of new oil strikes and ar-
tificial irrigation of large areas
of land on the Euphrates, it
has a "high development
potential." The Syrians are
keen on joint ventures in
tourism (holiday villages on
the Mediterranean) and vehi-
cle manufactuer (buses).

Exhibit Of Soldiers' Photos
Recalls Warsaw Ghetto Tragedy
By DAVID LANDAU
More than 100 photographs
taken by a German soldier in
the Warsaw Ghetto in 1941
went on exhibition at the Yad
Vashem Holocaust Center
The exhibition, titled "A
Day in the Warsaw Ghetto
A Birthday Trip Into Hell"
was opened by Education
Minister Yitzhak Navon on the
occasion of the 45th anniver-
sary of the Warsaw Ghetto
Uprising. The pictures were
taken by Heinz Joest, a
hotelier and amateur
photographer who was station-
ed at a German army camp
near Warsaw.
The "birthday trip" referred
to in the title was Joest's birth-
day in 1941 when, as he told
the West German magazine
Stern years later, he first ven-
tured inside the ghetto to find
out what was going on behind
its walls.
He recorded the sights in
129 photographs which are
starkly horrifying and em-
pathetic. Stern reported that
Joest was so deeply shocked
that he told no one of his ex-
perience. "I didn't want to
upset my family. I thought,
what sort of world is this?" the
ex-Wehrmacht soldier was
quoted as saying.
Joest gave his pictures to
Stern two years before he died
in the early 1980s. The
magazine never published
them, but gave them to the
Yad Vashem archives last
They depict hunger, beg-
gars, the indignities heaped on
the dead. The photos are
displayed here according to
subject matter: children,
street life and burial pits. Ac-
companying the exhibit are
sections from the "Warsaw
Diary" of Chaim Kaplan, an
eyewitness account of what
the Jews in the ghetto
Navon left for Poland Tues-
day with a delegation of some
1,200 Israelis, who will com-
memorate the 1943 uprising
on the site of the ghetto. The
group includes seven Knesset
members and 600 teen-agers,
some of whom were awarded
the trip in a nationwide quiz on
the Holocaust.
The trip is the first by Israeli
officials to Poland since that
country severed diplomatic
ties with Israel in 1967. They
are traveling as individuals
and, while not guests of the
state, are expected to meet
with members of the Polish
Some 4,000 Jews from 20
countries are also expected to
attend the ceremonies in

The delegates representing 385,000 members in 1,500
chapters, the largest Jewish women's volunteer organiza-
tion in the U.S. are expected to take action on a range of
issues affecting the future of Zionism.

BETWEEN 4Mb. AND BLUE HERON
In America's Interest
This week the House Appropriations Committee's Sub-
committee on Foreign Operations will hear testimony from pro-
ponents of U.S. aid to Israel. Advocates of close U.S.-Israel rela-
tions, and of American economic and military assistance to Israel,
traditionally have been the only ones to work for final passage of
all foreign aid. They understand that strengthening U.S. allies
strengthens the United States, and they recognize that Israel is
one of this nation's closest allies.
Two recent reports, one featured in this issue, highlight that
relationship. One demonstrates how Israel continues to be
America's staunchest supporter at the United Nations. The other
puts American foreign aid to Israel in perspective relative to U.S.
assistance to other countries, illustrating the bargain it is.
Fiscal 1989 will be the third consecutive year that the Reagan
Administration has recommended a total of $3 billion in foreign
aid to Israel $1.8 billion in military aid and $1.2 billion in
economic support. This is a significant sum, which deserves to be
placed in context;
Since 20 of 21 Arab states Egypt excepted refuse to make
peace with Israel, it must plan for the worst. That means spen-
ding well over $5 billion, or almost 25 percent of its annual gross
domestic product, on defense. By comparison, the United States
spends about 6 percent on defense, its NATO allies around 4 per-
cent. And a strong Israel bolsters the West's strategic position,
not only in the Middle East but in the Mediterranean basin as
well, especially as some NATO allies bicker among themselves or
make increasingly higher sometimes exclusionary demands
regarding U.S base privileges.
As for economic support, the current level roughly matches
Israel's interest payments to the United States for military loans
taken out after the 1973 Yom Kippur War and the defense in-
frastructure relocation from the Sinai to the Negev following
peace with Egypt.
The continuing large-scale arms buildup in the Arab world
forces Israel to keep pace. Added to that is a second economic
burden: the Arab economic war against Israel. This rests on the
"oil weapon," use of which sent a wave of inflation through the
world economy in the 1970's, and a boycott illegal under U.S.
law of those who do business with the Jewish state. Absent
both of these, Israel might be able to regain its status of a genera-
tion ago, that of a national economic miracle.
Meanwhile, U.S. aid is crucial to keeping Israel strong. An over-
whelming bipartisan majority in Congress repeatedly has
recognized this fact of international life. This year should be no

Urges Sabotage
Mubarak Awad, director of the
controversial Palestinian
Center for Non-Violence, has
repeated his call for the
sabotaging of Israeli utility
In an interview with the
weekly Meurav Yerushalayim,
Awad was asked if he still
stood by his 1983 statement
urging Arabs to sabotage
Israeli electricity, water and
gas lines. "Absolutely," he
replied, "We may suffer as a
result, but the suffering will be
in the spirit of freedom."
Awad said that he regards
violence as a tactical error, but
implied that it might ultimate-
ly be the only way for Arabs to
choose. "There is no possibility
of claiming that the Israelis
withdrew from Lebanon
because of non-violent tac-
tics," Awad said. "Israel left
Lebanon because of the death
Awad praised foreign media
coverage of the Arab rioting in
Judea, Samaria and Gaza. He
said that television coverage is
a "very important" part of the
Arab struggle against Israel,
since it helps "change the im-
age of the Palestinians and do
away with the image of
Awad was reportedly seen at
the Colony Hotel in East
Jerusalem, distributing copies
of "Leaflet No. 12," the latest
in a series of illegal brochures
giving local Arabs instructions
on how to attack Israelis.

Nearly a tie vote:
Cantors Assembly
Rejects Women
By ANDREW SILOW
NEW YORK (JTA) In a
historic decision, the Conser-
vative movement's Cantors
Assembly voted to reject a
move to admit qualified
women members.
The vote was 97-95 against
admitting women awarded the
degree of hazzan (cantor) by
the Jewish Theological
Seminary's Cantors Institute
into the ranks of the world's
largest professional body of
A two-thirds vote was need-
ed for the measure to have
The vote took place at the
assembly's 41st annual con-
vention at the Concord Hotel
in Kiamesha Lake, N.Y.
Cantor A. Eliezer Kirshblum
of Toronto led the forces op-
posed to women's member-
ship. He called the vote "a vic-
tory for common sense, for
halacha and for due process."
In a statement, he urged
that JTS Chancellor Ismar
Schorsch reconsider his
february 1987 decision that
qualified women graduates of
the institute could be given the
title of hazzan.
He also proposed that the
halachic legitimacy of women
cantors be referred to the law
committee of the Rabbinical
Assembly, the organization of
Conservative rabbis, for study
and an eventual recommenda-
tion that would require "a ma-
jority consensus rather than
the opinion of one man."
In a statement of their own,
the four women cantors who
have been granted the title of
hazzan, joined by 12 women
Reigns For
NEW YORK A survey
conducted by Women's
League for Conservative
Judaism shows that most U.S.
and Canadian synagogues to-
day count women as part of
the prayer minyan (quorum of
ten people), and grant them
aliyol (honors) during the wor-
ship service.
In response to the questions
"are women counted in the mi-
nyan?" and "are women given
aliyot?", 693 answers were
received a 100 percent
response from League af-
filiates in the U.S., Canada,
Mexico and Puerto Rico. The
over-whelming response show-
ed that 446 (65 percent) con-
gregations count women as
part of the prayer quorum and
that 459 (66.5 percent) give
them aliyot on either all or
special occasions. The ruling
by The Rabbinical Assembly
Law Committee stating that
women may be counted as
equals to men in the minyan
was adopted on October 5,
currently enrolled in the Can-
tors Institute, said they were
disappointed by the vote.
'Dedicated To Our Calling'
"The outcome does not sur-
prise us," they said. "We
understand that change is
often difficult. But we are
dedicated to our calling... We
are devoted to the cantorate,
proud to serve the Jewish com-
munity and optimistic about
the future."
Cantor Abraham Lubin of
Chicago, who presented the
main argument in favor of the
admission of women
graduates, predicted that the
matter would be presented to
the body again at one or more
future conventions and that
"women will be accepted as
members with all of the honor
and respect due them."
At the inauguration of the Jewish National
Fund Museum, Chaim Herzog, president of
Israel, right foreground, and Moshe Rivlin,
JNF world chairman, inspect exhibits
documenting the political and military
developments which led to the declaration of
the State of Israel. The museum is located in
JNF's Tel Aviv offices, in the same building in
which Israel's Provisional Council passed the
critical resolution on May 1U, 191,8, leading to
David Ben Gurion's declaration of statehood.

Arab Nations
All Have Missiles
TEL AVIV (JTA) All of
Israel's Arab neighbors, ex-
cept Jordan, have entered the
missile race, according to Gen.
Dan Shomron, the Israel
Defense Force chief of staff.
But the IDF possesses the
defensive and offensive power
to deter their use, Shomron
said in an Israel Radio inter-
view. He did not go into
details, but indicated the Arab
states were aware of Israel's
means of retaliation.
Shomron said the danger of
the missile race was the
tendency to develop chemical,
biological or nuclear weapons.
The Chinese-made CSS-2 in-
termediate range missiles
recently acquired by Saudi
Arabia are capable of carrying
nuclear warheads, but both
China and the Saudis have
denied they are so armed.
According to Shomron,
Israel's ability to strike back
has deterred the Arab states
from using chemical weapons
in their wars with Israel.
Egypt used chemical weapons
during its campaign in Yemen
in the 1960s, but not in the
1967 war with Israel, Shomron
pointed out.
Similarly, Syria had
chemical weapons at the time
of the 1973 Yom Kippur war,
but neither the Syrians nor the
Egyptians employed them
against Israel, even when their
armies on the ground were in
Record Bid
By DAVID LANDAU
JERUSALEM (JTA) An
18th-century Italian ketubah
(Jewish marriage contract)
sold for a record $47,300 at
Sotheby's Judaica sale here.
It was not only the historic
value and beauty of the
elaborately illuminated doc-
ment, but the hint of a roman-
tic triangle which may have ac-
counted for the bid.
The sale price was about
$16,000 higher than the best
price previously offered for
such an item, according to a
spokesperson for the auction
The ketubah, dating from
1732, went to a private
American collector. Decorated
with birds, flowers, pillars and
figures, it is, "a prized posses-
sion" of "great dramatic and
literary value," in the opinion
of Sotheby's consultant on
Jewish books and manuscripts,
Professor Chimen Abramsky
of University College in
The auction was part of the
week-long Judaica Fair attend-
ed by dealers and collectors
from all over the world.
The highest price paid for
any one item was a $92,000 bid
by an American dealer for an
18th-century German spice
box depicting enameled
figures each performing a dif-
ferent stage of the havdalah
service at the close of the
serious difficulties, the chief of
staff said.
The Arabs knew that Israel's
capability to hit back was far
greater, he said. Nevertheless,
there are gas masks available
for every Israeli citizen, should
the need arise. But the danger
of chemical warfare against
population centers is exag-
gerated, according to
Shomron. By ^closing doors and
windows the danger is greatly
reduced, he said.
Shomron also supported
Defense Minister Yitzhak
Rabin's point made that air
power, in which Israel excels,
is a more effective attack
system than missiles. He noted
that while Syria's Soviet-made
Skud missiles can carry 100
tons of explosives, a warplane
that carries five tons is much
more accurate.
Rabin said that Israel's air
force could drop 100 tons of
high explosives on enemy
population centers for every
ton delivered to Israel in a
missile attack.
Shomron maintained that
missiles cannot determine the
outcome of a war. He recalled
in that connection the
strategic failure of V-l and V-2
rockets Germany used to at-
tack British cities during the
final year of World War II.
Asked if Israel has joined the
missile race, Shomron replied,
"That's what I read in the

B'nai Israel's permanent synagogue facility
on Yamato Road, between Military Trail and
St. Andrews Boulevard in Boca Raton. Plans
are for the synagogue to open its new doors in
Spring, 1989.
Ground Breaking At B'nai Israel
Congregation B'nai Israel of
Boca Raton has begun con-
struction of its permanent
synagogue facility at 2200
Yamato Road, between
Military Trail and St. Andrews
Boulevard in Boca Raton. Con-
struction of the sanctuary,
social hall, education wing, and
administration space is now
The 6.13 acre parcel of land
on which the new facility will
be located, is owned outright
by the congregation. Financ-
ing for the project in the form
of a $2.6 million mini-perm
mortgage loan has come from
NCNB National Bank.
Rabbi Richard Agler,
spiritual leader of the con-
gregation said: "The beginn-
ing of construction is an ex-
citing and of course a historic
moment in the life of our con-
gregation. We have come a
long way in a short time and,
of course, the best is yet to
Joel Nadel, president of Con-
gregation B'nai Israel com-
mented: "We've been blessed
with outstanding lay leader-
ship and wonderful members
who have so generously given
of their time and talent to
make this moment happen."
Joe Wasch and Doug Feurr-
ing are co-chairpersons of the
Building Committee and they
have seen the project through
from its inception to the pre-
sent time. "Now that construc-
tion has begun," said Wasch,
"we look forward to the pro-
gress that is yet to be made.
Each new day brings a new ex-
citement. People should drive
by and see!"
The planned ten month con-
struction period will enable the
synagogue to open its doors in
the spring of 1989.

PLO Not Out To Destroy Israel
By JEAN COHEN
ATHENS (JTA) A rank-
ing Palestine Liberation
Organization official claims
that the PLO no longer calls
for Israel's destruction, and in
fact dropped that demand
from its Covenant 14 years
Shalah Kallar, also known as
Abu Iyad, said the PLO is
prepared to have a common
border with Israel in a Palesti-
nian state, according to an in-
terview in Baghdad, published
in the Greek daily
Abu Iyad dismissed the
famous Covenant article which
calls for the destruction of
Israel by armed struggle.
"The articles you are referr-
ing to, and, which the Israelis
promote so much we do not
include them since the 1974
PNC meeting that re-shaped
our program," he said.
The PNC is the Palestine
National Council, the PLO's
quasi-legislative body
sometimes referred to as the
Palestinian parliament-in-
Abu Iyad insisted that the
Arabs have become more
moderate. "Unfortunately, the
Israelis of today speak the
same language the Arabs used
to speak 30 years ago," he
said. "We say yes to peace, yes
to a political solution, defacto

Rabin Defends
Israeli Tactics
Friday, May 20, 1988/The Jewish Floridian of South County Page 9
By DAVID LANDAU
and HUGH ORGEL
Defense Minister Yitzhak
Rabin characterized the Israel
Defense Force's two-day in-
cursion into southern Lebanon
as a defensive measure made
necessary by the lack of a cen-
tral government in Lebanon
capable of controlling the
"As long as there is no
government in Lebanon
capable of entering into anti-
terrorist arrangements ... as
exist de-facto with Syria and
Jordan, and of course with
Egypt .. there is no alter-
native but to continue with this
policy," Rabin said.
Rabin described the opera-
tion in interviews with Voice
of Israel Radio and the Army
Radio. He affirmed that the
most serious action was
against the pro-Iranian Shiite
Hezbollah guerrillas, who,
"more than any other group-
ing in Lebanon, cooperates
with (Yasir) Arafat's wing of
the Palestine Liberation
Organization" and Syrian-
backed PLO dissidents.
The battle to capture Mai-
doun village, the main Hez-
bollah stronghold, cost the
IDF three dead and 17 wound-
ed. Between 40 and 50 guer-
rillas were killed, according to
military sources.
Two of the IDF fatalities
were officers Capt. Zion
Mizrachi 23, of Moshav
Megadim south of Haifa, and
Capt. Boaz Ravid, 26, of Bet
Oved. Sgt. Marco Bernstein,
21, of Nahariya, was also
Rabin explained to the radio
interviewers that Israel's
policy of protecting its nor-
thern settlements required
that the area north of the
border be kept free of
He said the policy was
established by the government
in January 1985 and im-
plemented five months later,
when the IDF pulled out of
southern Lebanon and set up
the border security zone
patrolled jointly with the
Israel-backed South Lebanon
"The maintenance of the
security zone is not sufficient,
without preventive actions
against terrorist targets,
whether deep in Lebanon, or
in the zone and its immediate
environs," Rabin said.

OSI Pleased
With Supreme
Court Ruling
By DAVID FRIEDMAN
Neal Sher, director of the
Justice Department's Office of
Special Investigations, ex-
pressed satisfaction on a
Supreme Court decision order-
ing a new hearing on whether
an alleged Nazi war criminal
should have his U.S. citizen-
ship revoked.
He said the ruling would be
helpful to the government's ef-
forts in prosecuting Nazi war
criminals in the United States.
The Supreme Court, in a
6-to-2 decision, set aside a
1986 ruling by the U.S. Court
of Appeals that revoked the
citizenship of Juozas Kungys,
who was accused of helping
the Nazis kill more than 2,000
Jews in Lithuania during
World War II. They ordered
the appeals court to hold a new
The OSI, which is charged
with finding and prosecuting
Nazi war criminals living in
the United States, is still stu-
dying the decision, but Sher
said the OSI is "pleased with
the ruling" because the court
set down clear standards for
revoking citizenship.
"The decision by and large
supports the positions" taken
by the OSI in seeking the
revocation of citizenship, that
"someone who gives false
testimony lacks the necessary
good moral character to
become a U.S. citizen," Sher
The standards for revoking
citizenship, outlined in the
court's opinion by Justice An-
tonin Scalia, approved
denaturalization of someone
whose misstatements or con-
cealment of facts "had a
natural tendency" to influence
decisions by immigration

Echoes of Terrorism
Khalil al-Wazir, second to
Yassir Arafat in the umbrella
grouping of terrorist factions the
world complacently calls the
Palestine Liberation Organization
(PLO), was shot down in sight of
his wife and two of their children
in Tunis on Apr. 16. Wazir also
known as Abu Jihad (father of ho-
ly war) headed PLO "military
operations." In addition, he ap-
parently was coordinating the
Palestinian Arab uprising in the
West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Intisar Wazir her nomme de
guerre is Umm Jihad (mother of
holy war) was quoted as saying
that after commandos killed her
husband with automatic weapons,
"I turned toward the wall and
prayed, waiting for my turn. It
never came."

differed from that of those caught
in other bursts of violence con-
nected with Abu Jihad. For exam-
ple: On Mar. 11, 1978, terrorists
landed on the Israeli coast. They
murdered the first person they
found, American photographer
Gail Rubin.
Then they hijacked a bus filled
with families on an outing. Before
security forces stopped them
killing nine and capturing two
the terrorists had murdered 33
civilians, including many children,
and wounded 82, firing from the
bus at other travelers.
Several years ago the
Jerusalem, Post wrote of one of
the wounded. He was a young
father, wheelchair-bound as a
result of the attack. He had seen
his wife and children immolated
when the hijackers ignited an in-
cendiary grenade. Israel blamed
Abu Jihad for organizing the
coastal road massacre.
The point? Not to trade stories
of violent loss, but to distinguish
between criminals and victims,
the prerequisite for justice. Israel
which did not claim responsibili-
ty for killing Wazir held him ac-
countable for other such "military
operations." These included the
1975 attack at Tel Aviv's Savoy
Hotel 12 civilians died and
last month's Negev bus hijacking.
Then three Israelis including
the widower father of two young
children perished along with
the three terrorists.
News stories almost invariably
described Wazir as a moderate,
comparing him to Salah Khalaf
Abu Iyad Arafat's ideological
chief. Wazir's moderation could
be seen in his reported description
of the Negev hijacking as a
Coincidentally, on Apr. 18 as
U.S. naval forces blasted Iranian
oil platforms and navy ships in the
Persian Gulf in retaliation for the
mine explosion which nearly sank
the USS Samuel Roberts the
State Department termed the
Wazir killing "an act of political
assassination This violence is
not going to be part of the solu-
tion. The solution is going to
come through a negotiated settle-
ment ... that works toward a
comprehensive peace."
News of Wazir's murder spark-
ed a day of violent mourning in
the territories. At least 14 Palesti-
nian Arabs were killed and 100
wounded by Israeli forces trying
to restore order. Such grief over
Abu Jihad does not suggest sup-
port for a negotiated settlement
and comprehensive peace.
Like Wazir and the PLO, Iran
and Iranian-backed Lebanese
Hezbollah (Party of God) members
believe in terrorism. Of course,
when they kidnap people like the
U.S. hostages in Lebanon, or
murder people on buses or planes
like the Kuwaiti aitliner recently
hijacked to Algiers, it is not terror
but "armed struggle."
Other armed stragglers include
the Japanese Red Army members
suspected of involvement
together with "Middle Eastern
terrorists" in the recent bomb-
ing in Naples which killed one
U.S. service woman and four
Italians, and the Red Army
member stopped in New Jersey
with three bombs in his car.
Among the Red Army's earlier
explits alongside Middle Eastern
terrorists was the 1972
machinegun and grenade attack
at Lod now Ben Gurion Air-
port in Israel. Twenty-seven peo-
ple, including 17 Christian
pilgrims from Puerto Rico, were
murdered in that joint Red Army-
Popular Front for the Liberation
of Palestine (PFLP) assault.
Again coincidentally, the PFLP
was an early practitioner of air
The American message after
the attack on two Iranian oil plat-
forms asserted: "Any further pro-
vocative or hostile Iranian
military or terrorist actions
against U.S. personnel or targets
will receive a firm U.S. response."

Shultz Shuttle
Is On Again
By HOWARD ROSENBERG
WASHINGTON (JTA) Secretary of State George Shultz
will travel to the Middle East June 3 for his fourth trip to the
region this year, the State Department announced.
The Mideast swing, which will come after the summit in
Moscow between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev, includes meetings in Egypt, Jordan, Syria and
It would end in time for Shultz to meet in Madrid June 9 to 10
with foreign ministers of the North Atlantic Treaty
Department spokesman Charles Redman said Shultz is return-
ing to the Mideast because there are "underlying problems in the
region which remain unresolved. And the secretary has said
many times the status quo is not tenable."
He said Saudi Arabia is not included in the itinerary, because it
is "not one of the countries actively involved in the peace pro-
cess, in the sense that they are not a negotiating partner for the
Israelis, in terms of a comprehensive settlement."
"The United States has advanced a realistic and a workable
plan to bring about negotiations," Redman said. "So the
secretary is prepared to continue his intensive effort to try to br-
ing about negotiations on a comprehensive peace."
Redman acknowledged that the peace plan's original timetable
has not been met. It called for an international peace conference
to be held in mid-April and for negotiations on autonomy
measures for Palestinians on the West Bank and Gaza Strip to
start in early May.
"Those days have passed," Redman said. "We need to get this
under way as soon as possible that's the objective in all of
He said the peace plan is still "workable. In fact it is the only
workable alternative" to no peace effort in the Middle East.
Shultz's plan has divided Israel's national unity government,
with Labor supporting it and Likud opposed, particularly to the
idea of an international conference. Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres indicated that he will make the proposal a major issue in
this year's Knesset elections.
Meanwhile, The New York Times reported that Jordanian of-
ficials oppose the international conference as envisioned by
Shultz, a meeting that would set the stage for negotiations bet-
ween Israel and a Jordanian-Palestinian delegation.
Hussein, who has demanded that the conference be an "um-
brella" for negotiations with Israel, stressed at a news con-
ference in Amman that Jordan will not now represent the
Palestinians, even if the Palestine Liberation Organization asked
it to do so, the Times reported. "We would certainly say that
they represent themselves," Hussein was quoted as saying.

Metallica's Lars Ulrich: It Will Be Difficult to Follow 'Death Magnetic'
Metallica are currently in the process of moving on to their next record, but drummer Lars Ulrich recognizes exactly what their past release, 'Death Magnetic,' has meant to their career. Speaking with United Arab Emirates paper The National, the drummer says that the disc may be a difficult one to follow, but he feels up to the challenge.
Ulrich explained in a video interview, "Obviously 'Death Magnetic' was very positively received all over the world and I'm thankful for that. We're now in the middle of making a new record, and so when you make a new record, you have a tendency to revisit the one you made previously, and I've heard a little bit of 'Death Magnetic' over the last couple of months and it still sounds fantastic, so it will be a difficult record to follow."
As for the new disc, the drummer says, "We are just writing at the moment. We haven't started [tracking] the record. These live shows help indirectly. When we are writing at home a lot, we get kind of locked into that, so getting a chance to come to Abu Dhabi and then Cape Town and Johannesburg next week is kind of Metallica getting out of the house for two weeks. When we come back to write, we are inspired by the energy of playing to 20,000 people each night."
Ulrich also took the opportunity to speak about how launching their own label, Blackened Recordings, will affect future release and reissue plans. He explained, "Now that we own our own records and have our own label, we will probably take each album, remaster them and make them available with the latest technology and find interesting outtakes and additional things that will make it special. You do want to cash in, so if you can put some packages together that are special to the fans, it is worth doing."

Kill all humans
"Kill all humans" is one of Bender's catchphrases. It is an example of the dislike of humans that he shows throughout the show.
In The Beast with a Billion Backs, it is used as the motto of the League of Robots.
Additional information
- Bender has also said "death to humans", in "Fear of a Bot Planet" and in The Beast with a Billion Backs.
- In "Mother's Day", a Slurm vending machine says "death to all humans!".
- In the game, an army of robots made of bones says "death to the living!".
Bender: [crying] All those times... I said "kill all humans"... I'd always whisper "except one". Fry was that one. [He sobs.] And I never told him so.
Bender: Here I've been blabbin' on for years about killin' all humans... and who actually does some' about it? Some chick.
Fry: You sure you don't wanna kill all humans?
Bending unit mistaken for Bender: Pfff! I love all humans!
[Fry whimpers.]
Fry: He really is gone.
Fry: Kill all modern humans!
Bender: Hey. This guy's alright.

Freo score scrappy AFL win over 'Dogs
Fremantle's AFL win over the Western Bulldogs was a weird game where the ground was wet even though the roof was shut.
The Dockers had less possessions, far less inside 50s, only picked up four free kicks and were also beaten in the clearances, but eventually had a regulation 38-point win over the Bulldogs on Sunday at Etihad Stadium.
Fremantle coach Ross Lyon was pleased with the 13.11 (89) to 6.15 (51) win, saying they knew it would be a dour scrap against the fiercely-competitive Bulldogs.
But Lyon was scratching his head over the use of the retractable stadium roof, saying it was open until the morning of the game despite persistent overnight rain.
"It just made it a difficult day," Lyon said.
"It's such a hard surface, it gets really greasy.
"At the end of the day, we still used the ball pretty well.
"It just made it a bit more 'scrimmagey' than it needed to be.
Lyon was clearly unimpressed, saying the use of the roof is "fluid" and "inconsistent".
"I don't know, I would have though it was shut overnight," he added.
Stadium spokesman Bill Lane said the roof was closed around 9am.
"We felt, given the mid-afternoon start, that was sufficient time for the ground to be in appropriate condition," Lane said.
"We were of the view that the ground played well."
The Dockers played their usual way, suffocating the Bulldogs forwards and then swarming down the other end.
The 'Dogs won the inside 50s count 67-41, but they could never put enough pressure on Fremantle.
They reduced the margin to three goals at three-quarter time before the Dockers killed off the contest with four goals to one.
Asked about the inside 50s disparity, Lyon noted: "there are entries and there are entries."
Too many of the Bulldogs' entries were picked off too easily.
Apart from their manic defence, the other feature of Fremantle's win was their relentless gut-running.
No-one exemplified this better than midfielder Stephen Hill, who was best afield with four goals, and ruckman Zac Clarke.
Tagger Ryan Crowley also impressed with his shut-down role on Bulldogs captain Ryan Griffen.
"It was a unique game of footy, but we'll certainly take it," Lyon said.
"When the game was up for grabs in the last quarter, we did what we needed to do - I thought we were quite dominant and took control."
For the 'Dogs, Mitch Wallis was superb on Nathan Fyfe and Tom Liberatore had a game-high nine clearances.
"I was pretty proud of their efforts today, I don't mind saying that," said 'Dogs coach Brendan McCartney.
"If we keep applying that effort, play with a little more thought and belief at crucial times, we'll be pretty competitive and play some good football."
Bulldogs midfielder Matthew Boyd was a late withdrawal with a tight calf.
Dockers forward Hayden Ballantyne, who kicked three goals, will come under video scrutiny after appearing to trip Shaun Higgins by hand.

DIXON – A defendant in the city's lawsuit against its auditors claims the city is to blame for ex-comptroller Rita Crundwell's theft of nearly $54 million.
The city of Dixon is suing the companies of CliftonLarsonAllen, Janis Card Co. and Samuel S. Card, CPA, and Todd Etheridge, Ron Blaine and Samuel S. Card for more than $53 million in damages, saying they should have detected Crundwell's theft.
Attorneys for CliftonLarsonAllen filed a response Friday, denying any liability.
An attorney representing the Card offices filed a response last month, saying the city was careless and negligent.
Clifton, one of the largest accounting firms in the United States, was contracted to do the city's audit before 2005, and continued to perform financial services for the city after that.
The suit claims CliftonLarsonAllen is guilty of, among other things, breach of contract, fraud and intentional misrepresentation and professional negligence.
CliftonLarsonAllen's document shifts most of the blame to the city.
In it, Clifton's attorneys say the commission form of government required enhanced levels of control and supervision by the city's elected officials, but they instead gave total control over the city's finances, its accounting, its bookkeeping, its cash and its Capital Development Fund to Crundwell.
Clifton said the city knowingly empowered Crundwell to exercise control over its cash spending by authorizing her to manually prepare and sign checks on the Capital Development Fund without any supervision.
The city was warned many times that Crundwell's empowerment should be countered by segregating duties performed by its personnel, Clifton said.
"The city's elected officials consciously, expressly and recklessly failed to implement any meaningful segregation of duties with respect to Crundwell's numerous job duties," the response said.
Clifton also said the city failed to exercise any control over capital development spending that was revealed by its own financial statements and reports.
"If the city's elected officials, appointed officers and/or department heads had bothered (to read the annual statements of expenditure) prepared and published by the city itself, during any of the years when Crundwell perpetrated her scam, they would have seen that millions upon millions of dollars were reported as having been paid by the city, out of the Capital Development Fund, to the 'water department' and/or to the 'Treasurer State of Illinois.'"
More than $32 million in those fictitious payments were, in fact, disclosed by the city, in its own official reports to the public, the document said.
Several of the annual totals ended in even numbers for the entire year, a characteristic of fraud, and the city failed to take action when its annual financial statements disclosed the names of fictitious projects. Both were used in the city's amended lawsuit as red flags auditors should have detected, the document said.
Furthermore, the disclosure of these payments contradicted Crundwell's excuse for the city's fiscal difficulties, which was that the state was chronically behind in payments.
The response also said the city failed to take proper action when it was budgeting for outlandish capital development spending beyond all proportion of the city's size, location, level of economic development and historical or planned capital development spending.
It quotes an email from Sterling City Manager Scott Shumard to FBI Special Agent Patrick Garry:
"... I thought (the city's annual financial reports) were so bad that they had to know what they were doing. In a commission form of government, to let this happen, the commissioners had to be aware of the fraud, or, as I suspect, entirely inept in their roles as commissioners," Shumard said.
The Clifton response also says the city's supervision of Crundwell was compromised because Mayor Jim Burke was conducting private business for profit in connection with Crundwell's purchase or sale of real estate, and because both City Engineer Shawn Ortgiesen and Fire Chief Tim Shipman had obtained interest-free, personal loans from Crundwell.
The response says the city knew Crundwell led a lavish lifestyle and that she was absent frequently.
The city also failed to detect whether the Cards were qualified to audit the city's financial statements, and unlawfully failed to seek competitive bids when it selected the auditor to replace Clifton.
Because the city withheld information, Clifton could not be expected to perform reliable service, the response said.
The city agreed by signing management representation letters that it was providing accurate information to its auditors. In those agreements, Clifton said the city would be responsible for maintaining a sound system of internal control, implementing controls to prevent fraud and safeguarding assets, among other things.
The response also says that if damages are awarded from Clifton, they need to be reduced by any amounts the city recovers from third parties, such as the estimated $10 million from the sale of Crundwell's forfeited assets.
"If the city sustained any damages (as alleged in its lawsuit), said damages were caused by the city's own negligence."
Clifton also claims a statute of limitations could come into play.
In an October deposition, Sam Card said he and his mother's small Sterling accounting office, which became Dixon's contracted auditor after 2005, did not do its own audit work. It only reviewed and signed off on audit work done by CliftonLarsonAllen.

Thousands of Jobs Could Be the Result of Research District DealPosted: Updated:
Richland -- It's official. Tri-Cities Research District leaders have signed a deal that could lead to thousands of new jobs in the area.
The agreement allows for the creation of a master plan for hundreds of acres of land in North Richland. Development on-site is expected to act as a magnet for high paying jobs, diversify the economy, and bring in retail and recreation. Those working on the plan have helped develop major corporate campuses, like the Nike project in Portland.
Stefee Knudsen with tva architects (company logo is in lower case font) in Portland, who is working on the master plan said Friday, "We hope to bring together the best ideas for creating a truly sustainable environment out of this research district. We've got some pretty audacious goals and we're trying to see where they fall within the practical and the visionary."
Knudsen said there is room on the land for 3 million square feet of office space. Already, Solaris, one of the groups behind the vision, plans to take up a million feet of it. A Solaris spokesman, when asked how many jobs might be created once development is totally complete on the land, surprised reporters by saying he believed it could sustain as many at fifteen to 20 thousand new jobs.
Solaris, Battelle, and the Port of Benton are the major drivers behind the vision.
The master plan is expected to be complete in August. It will be used as a tool to recruit business to locate on-site.

When You Remember
March 1999
If I start crying, I don't think I'll ever be able to stop. And if I start thinking about all that I am grieving, I think that the grieving will also be endless.
Putting feelings and thoughts on paper holds them there, suspends them, keeps them in front of me -- almost longer than I think that I can look at them, focus on them, let them in.
What is so painful about grief is that it never seems to be enough. There doesn't seem to be an ending to it. It keeps on going. Memories are triggered and that person is right back with me -- and that is a precious thing. But with it comes the pain. And the losing of them, the letting go of them seems to begin all over again.
I learned of the death of a childhood friend today. Out of the blue. Unexpected. His dad and my dad grew up together and are best friends. My sisters and I spent some part of every summer of our growing up years with their family in Mystic, CT. Steven was three years younger and he always wanted to tag along with us girls. I remember him fetching us hot dogs at Fenway and ice cream bars at the beach. He always was a fun-loving kid who just wanted to be with us. He grew up to be a middle school teacher and coach, a husband and father of three young kids. His car hit a patch of black ice and he was killed on his way to work. The Rhode Island Senate had a moment of silence for this teacher, this son and brother, this kind man, this morning.
It seems ironic that before I got the phone call about Steven's death, I was in an ASP staff meeting. At the end of that meeting, our staff took about an hour to talk with one another about grieving. I can't remember when we've ever done that before. We talked about how different things feel to us these days. We talked about how difficult it is to live with ambiguity. Some of the folks who volunteer with us have had their lives turned upside-down in ways that mean standing up from wheelchairs and taking steps toward careers. And some folks have had their lives turned upside-down in ways that mean no longer being able to stand unassisted. Both are truths. Both are realities. As we talked together this afternoon, we talked about how we are all doing the best we can. We talked about ways we might better help one another. We talked about not taking on more than we could handle or hold. And we talked about trusting the process.
Working with those who are affected by HIV/AIDS asks a great deal of all of us. It asks us to keep up to date with all the medical information that seems to be ever-changing. It asks us to remain flexible with folks' changes in health status, in energy levels, in regimens and diets and schedules. It asks us to remain ever-hopeful for what new miracle is waiting around the corner. This work asks us to keep a balance in the midst of chaos.
Our work is full of opportunities. We have (just about daily) the opportunity to learn something about ourselves. We have the chance (just about daily) to look into the shadow of our most fearful places. And we have an opening (just about daily) to look into the light and see what is beyond what our words can convey.
So we look to others who have words for us. Today has been one of those days when grief is bigger than my heart feels it can hold. Frederick Buechner does a thoughtful job of putting his words on paper in his piece called "Remember" from Listening to Your Life. He writes, "When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart."
And today I remember...
