Day of decision looms for Jewish 'soft Sabbath zone': Plans for Britain's first eruv have split a community. Lewis Chester reports
Sunday 21 February 1993
Argument over the plans to establish an eruv - an area covering a large part of the borough of Barnet in which Jews would be exempted from some restrictions of the Sabbath laws - cuts across religious and political boundaries.
During the Sabbath, from sundown Friday to sunset Saturday, Orthodox Jews should not carry such things as keys, handkerchiefs and reading glasses, nor push buggies, prams or wheelchairs, outside their homes. The establishment of the eruv extends the private domain of the home into the streets.
On Wednesday, Barnet council's planning committee must decide finally whether to permit the erection of 85 poles and the suspension of some 1.2 miles of wire deemed essential to the eruv's creation.
Both the ruling Tories and the Labour opposition on the council are split on the issue - though the political divisions are as nothing compared with the animosities that have arisen between individual Jewish members who make up almost one-third of the council. Even the most theologically insensitive councillors - one described the eruv as 'a nonsense to cure a nonsense' - are deeply aware of the power it exercises on the imagination of the voters, both for and against.
The proposal before the committee is that six square miles encompassing the verdant streets of Hendon, Golders Green and Hampstead Garden Suburb and part of Finchley should be allowed to constitute an eruv. Its 11- mile perimeter would consist very largely of existing frontiers - such as the M1 motorway and the overground section of the Northern Line. But planning consent is crucial to the 'gaps' in the eruv, mainly roads that must be spanned by 'gateways'. Hence the poles and wires.
The proponents of the scheme, who include the Chief Rabbi, Jonathan Sacks, and the United Synagogue, the most powerful Orthodox organisation in the Commonwealth, originally made a great virtue of the fact that the chosen wire - nylon monofilament fishing wire - was practically invisible to the naked eye. At a late stage it was pointed out that this could lead to the garrotting of unsuspecting birds. The proposed wire is now to be of braided steel which most birds will see easily.
The problem is that so, too, would many of the citizens, and the wires that signify freedom in some Jewish minds can evoke horrific remembrance in others. Jack Cohen, a Liberal Democrat councillor, says he has received harrowing letters from 'people who ran away from the concentration camps and the ghettoes and who feel that being obliged to live behind wire is exactly what they strove to escape from'.
It is estimated that some 10,000 of the 130,000 people within the proposed eruv's boundary would directly benefit from the scheme. Many have been to Israel and the United States where eruvs are now commonplace. Julia Nussbaum, a Hendon housewife who has been wheelchair-bound for 10 years with multiple sclerosis, cannot wait for it come into existence. As things are, long hot Saturdays in the summer are 'a double punishment - I have the illness and the feeling of being imprisoned in my own home'.
Aviva Dubinsky, mother of two young girls and wife of an Australian doctor on secondment to St Bartholomew's Hospital, shares a similar impatience. Her father was among the founders of Australia's first eruv in Melbourne five years ago. 'I can't see the reason for the blow-up here,' she said. 'It's a real non-issue back home. No vandalism, nothing.'
But Norma Blausten, who was brought up in an Orthodox home, wrote to the planning committee: 'Many people in the area resent the idea of an eruv, but don't say so for fear of being branded anti- Semitic.'
Roy Shutz, the leader of the Conservative majority on the council, believes objections to the eruv are not so much against its physical features as its symbolism. Like many Jewish intellectuals in Hampstead, he thinks the eruv is an archaism which has no place in a modern progressive society. In a racially diverse borough, he thinks that it can only incubate trouble for the future.
No such fear grips Alan Kimche, the Hendon rabbi who first proposed, and then planned, a Barnet eruv back in 1988. His vision of the future is one in which cultural identities are more confidently expressed without any infringement of liberties. Some, though not all, of the eruv's opponents he sees as 'assimilated Jews' who have come to be 'ashamed of their own Jewishness'.
While explaining the eruv to me at his Golders Green home, Mr Kimche made bear-like but precise darts around the room for the references to buttress his arguments. After one such foray, he came back with a slim but exquisite volume, dated 1887, which contained rules for the Polish eruv in Cracow.
He went on to explain that during that period in Eastern Europe, Orthodox Jews who wanted to put up their poles and wire had little trouble getting permission from the civic authorities: certainly nothing like the trouble that the Barnet proposal was having with the council.

Expect new twist for parking situation at Saturday's Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade; new truck dealership open on 23rd Street
If you are looking for a parking space in downtown Lawrence on Saturday, I hope it is for a horse.
The annual Downtown Lawrence Old-Fashioned Christmas parade is set for 11 a.m. Saturday, and as you know, it is an all horse-drawn parade. (No, kids, that's not candy in the streets.)
In fact, keeping the parade crowd out of the street is a big part of having a safe parade, and organizers are taking a new step this year. For the first time, barricades will be erected along the sides of Massachusetts Street. Parade organizers are spreading the word that the barricades will have an impact on people coming downtown to park.
Marty Kennedy, one of the organizers of the parade, said barricades would start going up at 8 a.m. Saturday. They'll be placed behind cars that already have parked along Massachusetts Street. So, if you park in downtown Lawrence on Saturday, you'll need to get there before 8 a.m. and you'll need to be prepared to remain parked until past 11 a.m.
Kennedy said the decision to use barricades this year was based on the safety of parade watchers and the horses.
"A lot of our horses are used to being in corrals," Kennedy said. "The barricades will give them the idea that they're supposed to go nice and straight down the street."
Kennedy said he doesn't think the barricade situation is going to cause any problems for people wanting to get a parking spot along the parade route. He said the parade has become so popular that people already know they have to come early in the morning to get a spot along Massachusetts Street.
"In the past, there really haven't been many parking spots to be had after 6 a.m.," Kennedy said.
The barricades will be removed as the street sweepers travel down the parade route. Kennedy estimated people would be able to leave their parking spots about 15 minutes after the parade had ended.
In other news and notes from around town:
• If you are going to a horse parade, it just seems like you ought to go in a one-ton pickup truck with a good tool box to sit upon and a jug of grandfather's special sipping cider to keep you warm.
I'm still working on securing the sipping cider, but there is news on the big truck front. The longtime Lawrence business Kaw Valley Industrial, 1105 E. 23rd St., has expanded into truck sales.
The new business is running under the name of Kaw Valley Truck Sales. Ryan Lauber, a son of the owners of Kaw Valley Industrial, is running the new venture. Lauber said the business is trying to focus on larger used trucks — mainly three-quarter ton and one-ton trucks — that can be more difficult to find on traditional car lots. The business also is offering service work on diesel engines and truck and four-wheel drive accessories. The business also hopes to be a player in the agricultural truck market, with bale haulers and other farm trucks.
The business, which carries only used vehicles, usually has an inventory of around 15 to 20 trucks, Lauber said.
Lauber said the new focus seems to fit well with Kaw Valley Industrial's business, which includes ATVs, chainsaws, mowing equipment and other such items.
"We're kind of a one-stop shop now," Lauber said. "You can come in and buy a one-ton truck and a chainsaw."
As they say at the horse parade, "Whoa, there." That sounds like a lot of work. How about we sip some more cider first?

Gunmen shot dead two civilians and then used explosives to free 175 inmates from a prison in Nigeria's southern town of Akure overnight, a prison official has revealed.
Islamist sect Boko Haram and al Qaeda-linked group Ansaru have been behind several prison raids in recent years. It was not clear whether they were behind this jail break at Olokuta prison in Ondo state or whether they had members held there.
"The unknown gunmen numbering over 20 came at about midnight into the Olokuta prison through the main gate after using dynamite," Prison Comptroller Tunde Olayiwola told Reuters.
"The gunmen shot and killed two people while trying to get in ... Some of the escaped prisoners have been re-arrested," Olayiwola said, adding that some prison staff were injured in a gun battle and were receiving treatment.
Violence by Islamist groups is mostly confined to Nigeria's majority Muslim north but there have been attacks as far south as Kogi state, which borders Ondo.
Boko Haram, which wants to create an Islamic state in the north, has become the biggest threat to security in Africa's most populous nation and top oil exporter.
President Goodluck Jonathan has declared a state of emergency in the three worst affected states in the northeast and launched an intensified military push to end the insurgency.
Nigeria also suffers from widespread crime and corruption nationwide. In southern states such as Ondo, kidnapping and other violent crimes are common.

Tour of Benalla's Indigenous Garden to celebrate NAIDOC week
The garden is the work of more than 100 people and has taken more than a decade to complete. Aboriginal community devleopment worker Chris Thorne shared stories of Benalla's Indigenous heritage.MONIQUE FREER July 18, 2014 3:50am
Central Hume Primary Care Partnership Aboriginal Community Development Worker Chris Thorne led a tour of Benalla's indigenous gardens as part of NAIDOC Week celebrations.
The Benalla and district community honoured Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who fought in defence of Australia last week during NAIDOC Week.
Benalla Rural City Council hosted two events last Thursday to celebrate NAIDOC Week, which is held every year across Australia to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
A morning tea was held at Benalla Town Hall, followed by a tour of the Indigenous Gardens, led by Central Hume Primary Care Partnership Aboriginal community development worker Chris Thorne.
''NAIDOC Week is a chance to share our culture, and when we share our culture we preserve life,'' Mr Thorne said.
About 20 people attended the garden tour and heard Mr Thorne share stories about Indigenous heritage and Benalla residents who had been moved by the site during a visit.
''I never get sick of it, I'm so passionate about it and what we've been able to achieve since the beginning,'' he said.
''Nobody comes here and doesn't walk away being affected in some way.
''This is going to be the jewel in Benalla's NAIDOC events.''
Located in Moira Reserve, the garden is the work of more than 100 people, including volunteers, across 11 years.
Mr Thorne was awarded the Dame Phyllis Frost individual award at the National Tidy Towns Awards in 2007 for his involvement in the development of the garden, his role in promoting the history of the local Indigenous culture to Benalla Rural City schools and his ongoing passion for working with young people.
''It is important to be able to make the Benalla Rural City community aware of its Indigenous heritage, its cultures and its historical significance through activities like NAIDOC week,'' Mr Thorne said.
''We now have more than 140 people living within the Benalla Rural City with an Indigenous heritage and I'm pleased to know these people are feeling more comfortable to proudly identify with their cultural background.''
Ahead of the Anzac centenary next year, this year's theme was 'Serving Country: Centenary and Beyond'. Indigenous Vietnam War veteran Graeme Pickering was the guest speaker at the morning tea.
Aboriginal Affairs Minister Tim Bull said NAIDOC Week could be traced back to the 1920s when Aboriginal groups raised community awareness of the issues facing Aboriginal people.
''Victoria has a young and growing Aboriginal population and it is important that we continue to support strong Aboriginal communities,'' Mr Bull said.
''NAIDOC Week is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the significant contribution Aboriginal people and culture make to building a stronger Victorian community.''

Hi: 11° Lo:3°
By Matthew Bates Thursday 29 November 2012 Updated: 30/11 10:42
A BUS stop regularly hit by drivers cannot be moved - because it sits next to the remains of a 12th century castle.
Winsford Avenue's shelter is set to be replaced by Centro for the second time in five months after being hit by a bus driver again.
But the city council has told the travel organisation it will not allow the shelter to be moved because it would interfere with the archaeological remains of Allesley Castle.
The shelter is located at a turning circle and driver error has been given as a reason for the latest smash. No-one was in the shelter at the time.
A Centro spokesman said it had been upgraded in the summer to provide a bigger six-seat facility as many elderly residents relied on the services using the stop.
"Ideally Centro would have preferred to move the shelter back by a couple of metres but the land to the rear of the bus-turning circle is part of the remains Allesley Castle which is protected by the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.
"Coventry City Council feels locating the bus stop further back would have a negative impact on the setting of the monument and any buried archaeological remains, and any work to expand the stop would first require approval from English Heritage.
"We are working with the council to reach a solution and drivers using the terminus are reminded of the need to take care when it."
Ward councillor Bally Singh said: "All must be done to protect the public, as I would hate to think what would have happened if someone had been waiting at the stop when the bus smacked into it."
MYSTERY surrounds the site of Allesley Castle
There is no documentary evidence as to who built it and when, and no archaeological work has ever been carried out.
However, it is likely it predates the establishment of the 13th century deer park which later became Allesley Park.
One theory is it was an illegally built fortification, constructed without the permission of the king during the civil war between King Stephen and the Empress Matilda in the 1140s.
This would have meant that it was short-lived and therefore explain why it does not appear in documents.
However, the presence of a dovecote suggests it would have been the residence of someone of significant status, as the keeping of doves was restricted to the aristocracy in the medieval period.
The shelter was damaged in the recent smash, which was put down to driver error. (s)

Pinhole Down, The Handsome Scoundrels, I Like I Like
Vinyl Music Hall
2 S. Palafox St.
Pensacola, FL, 35202
Doors 7:30 PM (event ends at 11:00 PM)
This event is all ages
Guttermouth is an American punk rock band formed in 1988 in Huntington Beach, California and currently recording for Volcom Entertainment. They have released nine full-length studio albums and two live albums and have toured extensively, including performances on the Vans Warped Tour. They are infamous for their outrageous lyrics and behavior which are deliberately explicit, offensive and intended to shock, though usually in a humorous and sarcastic manner. This behavior has sometimes resulted in high-profile problems for the band, such as being banned from performing in Canada for a year and leaving the 2004 Warped Tour amidst controversy over their political views and attitudes towards other performers.
In 2005 drummer Ty Smith left Guttermouth to focus on his new band Bullets and Octane and was replaced by Ryan Farrell. Bass player Kevin Clark departed the following year and founding member Clint Weinrich returned to the group. This lineup recorded the band's tenth album Shave the Planet, released in 2006 by Volcom Entertainment. The album found the band once again using their brand of humorous punk rock to poke fun at a number of subjects. Guttermouth continues to tour and perform in support of the album.
The Handsome Scoundrels formed with a desire to be the kind of band that we would like to listen to.
True blue, catchy street punk applying force where necessary.
"The gritty streetpunk of this working-class trio reminded us of Boston's finest." - The Boston Phoenix
I Like I Like
Founded in 2013, I Like I Like is looking to make a big change in how pop punk is presented. This pop punk band is more then catchy lyrics and pop like rhythms. This band brings in a heavy wall of sound to move the genre in a new direction. Consisting of hometown favorite Brandon Turner, bass expert Kennith Ittig, and Florida music veteran Jillybones this band is more than just a passing phase. They are here to stay, like it or not. The band got quick recognition, and is sponsored by Spectroflex guitar cables.

About the ManufacturerThe Homer Laughlin China Company has been a leader in the design and manufacture of food service and retail china products for over 130 years. Best known for the classic and timeless Fiesta®, The Homer Laughlin China Company manufactures china products in shapes, designs and patterns that continue to delight and satisfy customers. Visitors to The Homer Laughlin China Company and Retail Outlet can expect to find unsurpassed craftmanship, state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and the timeless quality of enduring products.
The Homer Laughlin China Company owes its origin to a two kiln pottery on the banks of the Ohio River in East Liverpool, Ohio. Built in 1871 by Homer Laughlin and his brother Shakespeare, the Laughlin Brothers Pottery was one of the first whiteware plants in the country. The turning point in the artistic focus of the company came in 1927 with the addition of noted ceramist Frederick Hurton Rhead. His design vision would culminate in the 1936 introduction of Fiesta®, Homer Laughlin's best selling line, and today one of the most collected china products in the world.
With the introduction of fully vitrified china in 1959, Homer Laughlin was able to participate in the restaurant/hotel markets. Homer Laughlin concentrated its efforts on the food service market and continued to add new shapes, patterns and decorating techniques throughout the 60's and 70's. The reintroduction of Fiesta® in 1986 as a high-fire, fully vitrified, lead free product redefined the standard for both food service and retail china products.
The Homer Laughlin China Company has produced an estimated 25,000 china patterns throughout its 133 year history. A heritage rich in American tradition and innovation has given Homer Laughlin China the fortitude to look to the next century with anticipation of meeting greater challenges.

Sturdy bowl for smaller items
Amy from Dillsburg, PA– Verified Buyer
This is an awesome bowl for smaller servings. I've used it for small side salads, single-serving sides, and for ice cream. If you're looking for a big, man-serving dish, this might not be it. But if you just want a regular bowl for everyday use this fits the bill in a great way. I'm thinking this one's going to be great for portion control! And like all my Fiesta, it's sturdy, beautifully colored, and fits great in my cabinet and dishwasher.
Perfect-sized Cereal Bowl
Penelope from Lakewood, CO– Verified Buyer
My daughters (who also have Fiestaware) both said they really liked this size bowl and didn't have enough, so I put together an order for all three of us, making sure it totaled more than $49 in order to get the free shipping. When you're dealing with a product as heavy as Fiestaware, free shipping is wonderful. The shipment arrived promptly and I was most impressed with the professionalism of the packing. There was no way any of my order was going to get damaged on its way here!

Sparing you the hyperbole and cutting to the chase, Burgundy 2012 is a good vintage in which a handful of great wines have been made by a few exceptional growers.

Morgan 4/4: For sale - one classic car
As seen in gossip columns and at party conferences
Tuesday 16 May 2006
Twenty years ago, I drove out of the mews showroom of Wykehams, the Morgan dealer in South Kensington, at the wheel of a royal ivory two-seater Morgan 4/4, with a mixture of pride and trepidation. I had dreamt for years of owning one, but had never been behind such a long, beautiful bonnet before and the London buses seemed huge beside it.
Over the years, I got used to every quirk of that glorious wooden frame and lovely leather interior. The car made small boys cheer and, I was surprised to find, young women melt.
Jeremy Clarkson gave the Morgan his "bad car" verdict a few weeks ago, saying typical Morgan drivers had facial hair and were "diehard nostalgia fans who believe it harks back to a better era of motoring", sort of motoring Fred Dibnahs.
But I would put my ivory Morgan on his "cool wall" any day. What he failed to grasp is that this is no car for petrol-heads or turbo monkeys. True, it was hopeless on motorways. It had the aerodynamics of a garden shed, and the 1.6-litre Ford XR3 engine (it used to power Escorts) was no match for the Euro-buses hogging the fast lane. It was sometimes embarrassing when a driver ahead spotted the Morgan in his rear view mirror, and pulled over thinking this was the Plus 8 - identical to the untrained eye - and ready to overtake in a blinding flash of white lightning. No, it was my Morgan, rumbling along happily at 70 mph.
However, take the car on to country lanes of Kent and it was sheer romance, poetry in motion. It brought to mind the swooping Spitfires dogfighting overhead 60 years ago. OK, that is a bit of nostalgia, but it fitted like a bespoke shoe. I swear you could feel its ash frame gently bending as it cornered as sharp as a knife.
I drove it to work at the House of Commons, and it became a familiar sight to police and politicians leaving the big gates at the Palace of Westminster. It was great fun to drive out of the great gates with tourists' cameras snapping; they probably thought I was one of those "rich Tory bastards" living it up in a luxury car at the taxpayers' expense. This was surely the car that Alan B'Stard would have driven in his Tory years. I often wonder how many votes the Morgan lost Margaret Thatcher after I bought it in 1987.
It had one previous owner and about 7,000 miles on the clock. I took it on the road for the political tours each year around the conference circuit, and it rolled along the proms at Blackpool and Brighton as I followed Thatcher and Kinnock to their events.
The car became known in the family as The Throbber and I took it on holiday to the Isle of Wight, where it seemed perfectly at home. It got into the gossip columns when I gave Patrick Wintour of The Guardian a lift around a by-election in Vauxhall; the "two chaps in the white sports car" followed Kate Hoey's campaign bus around the constituency. It turned a few heads. That was one of the joys of The Throbber. It always made people smile. I suggested to one Transport Secretary that the answer to the mortality rate on the road was to introduce a law banning all cars except Morgans. Locked up in their Euro-boxes, drivers have no sense of the speed they are going. That would soon change if they drove a Morgan with the side flaps off.
Unfortunately, when I was returning from a party conference in Bournemouth in driving rain, I had a shunt on the Great West Road near Chiswick. A white van pulled out, smashed into another, collided with the central reservation, blocked the road - and I had nowhere to go except to slide gently into the back of one of the vans. I got out to find minor dents to the nose cone. The car was painstakingly restored by the Morgan dealer for £7,000, on the insurance of the other driver. I made a few cosmetic improvements - a line of piping, steel wings replaced with lighter aluminium. The wooden coachwork was not damaged, and so was put back onto the new frame.
After the workshop had finished, I drove out of their showrooms again behind the wheel of a virtually new car. I continued to run the Morgan down to the coast most weekends to go sailing at Whitstable Yacht Club where it became a popular attraction by the dockside. I recently added walnut dashboard and walnut steering wheel with matching gear knob. I think the Morgan deserved it.
Now, we've bought a holiday home in Cyprus. I toyed with shipping The Throbber to the island, but have decided the beach roads would not treat her kindly. It's time to find a new home for C722 JGP. It is now with a dealer and I should get roughly what I paid for it 20 years ago ( www.allonwhite.co.uk). Now that is something Clarkson should stuff in his clipboard.
