His former democratic New Jersey governor Jon Corzine getting special treatment.
Corzine ran the brokerage firm and have global until -- -- -- global somehow managed to lose one point six billion dollars of customer money.
No one knows where that money went now that's pretty I don't you agree.
-- the dust department justice says they are now invest gain by Republican Carson Michael Graham wants to -- to step aside why.
Cashman Grimm joins is getting you -- and I must admit I'm a little bit surprised that they want DO chase to step aside.
Because you're a former FBI.
Agent yourself -- Well I have a 100% faith in the FBI what what the problem here is I think it's more.
With where the public stands with the attorney general Eric Holder.
And I think an independent counsel is what we need the FBI would still be doing the investigation I think -- I'm sure they're doing a very good job but.
The in the the FBI doesn't actually prosecute the case they gather evidence -- and -- have to turn that over.
To the prosecutors so that's why we're asking for your special prosecutor independent counsel.
I would suspect though that if it weren't and -- and the FBI is investigating but I suspect that it wouldn't send us would be.
The DOJ prosecuting him but serve a subset of the of the Department of Justice which would be career prosecutors in eastern district got we have.
Of New York for the southern district of New York where they have career prosecutors is that something that you -- I'll find acceptable.
Well I think.
This it's it's bigger than that the problem here is that you and Jon Corzine.
He's he's seen by most Americans -- Republicans and Democrats is someone that has.
All the way at the highest levels to the president I mean even this past cycle for the beginning of January 2012 he's listed as one of the largest -- who is.
For the Obama administration.
This is after -- is under investigation so it's things like that that I think jeopardize.
Weight people feel in America with the confidence in our system.
As well as the integrity of our markets so that's the reason why I'm calling for an independent counsel when when you look at the history.
-- Jon Corzine a lot of people feel he's being given special treatment since since he started with MF global it's one of the reasons why they had special status.
-- -- to be a dealer in the first place.
Why should note that dad former governor Jon Corzine at least according to reports has raised 500000 dollars for the Obama reelection campaign so he would tell -- is significant.
And daughter fund raiser for the for the -- -- I'm curious idea -- is this money I mean how does this money.
Disappear and nobody knows where it is -- It does and I and I think at this point.
The money has been found but.
Keep in mind that doesn't mean it has been recovered which is another reason why I think we need independent counsel because of the -- the entire bankruptcy.
We structured and I think that's a problem in and of itself because some of this money was taken as collateral.
And shipped overseas.
And now these poor customers that were never creditors -- -- they were customers and then when he was posting protected.
In segregated accounts it was illegally taken out of those accounts and sent this collateral and now it's overseas.
It was taken as collateral and it could take years we learn from Bear Stearns and from Lehman Brothers.
It could take 234 years if not more to fight with foreign banks now to try to get that money bank.
Putting these customers at a massive disadvantage and really in an untenable and unacceptable position which again goes to the -- right.
Of the integrity of -- markets and I think that's why independent counsel here is absolutely warranted.
Well you raise a question the -- overseas.
That was permitted by rule by the CFTC.
Which that the chairman of that and Gary Gensler worked at Goldman Sachs went -- went governor of Prez senator car sentiments an awful awful.
Cozy group of people of Goldman Sachs and is -- money we.
I mean I guess that to the extent we want -- -- you know at least have the appearance of having no -- salad make much use if we could remove you know remove this.
Any any chance of people be suspicious of investigation.
But when you're hitting the nail on the head I mean you look at the relationship.
Between Jon Corzine and and chairman Gensler and that in and of itself is enough reason to make people suspicious.
I look at it this way where's the down side.
For the attorney general in light of the fact that he handled fast and furious so terribly.
It in light of that that that the someone threw the bottle.
We we can we'll get to GSA scandal all of these things.
He should be more than happy to turn this over to independent counsel and give people think that -- that -- semblance of that there isn't any impropriety here.
Eight I create this -- -- so which is a problem I do -- -- career prosecutors you know farther down the command -- -- that every day -- work really hard to do really a straight up job and a really good shot past is that I've been up against many of them over the years never -- But I do agree that with all the sort everything being connected that it really does.
Does not and -- act -- act and I can understand why people would be suspicious.
Having the Justice Department and policy what happens fashion she was there.
An anti bush and I've worked with -- southern district they are top notch isn't district did the best of the best I'm worried about much higher than that we took about the administration itself.
I don't think you sir thank you.

Curtis lives out of a suitcase and his diary reflects it. He's always seems to be on an plane travelling or in front of a camera filming. But he wouldn't have it any other way. See what Curtis is up to (and where) with a glimpse into his diary blog.
It must be primal. There's something about standing over a piece of meat that's cooking over an open flame that brings out our basic instincts. I've seen it everywhere from cookouts in Milwaukee to asados in Argentina—grill masters rule. The best part? A little bit of know-how can make even the novice come off like an expert chef. 1. Plan ahead. Grilling is fast and furious, so get everything you need—tongs, gloves, a large fork, salt and pepper, your marinade, carving board, dishcloth—before you even think of putting the steak on the grill. Trust me you'll end up overcooking the meat if you have to leave the grill to rummage around in the kitchen for oven mitts. 2. Give it a rest. Meat needs a little alone time—both before and after grilling. A half-hour before your cook, take the meat out of the fridge and let it come up to room temperature. After it comes off the grill, put aluminum foil over it to hold in the heat and let it rest for half the time it took to cook it. If it took 10 minutes to grill a steak, let it rest for 5 minutes. Resting lowers the core temperature of the meat so when you carve it, the juices stay inside. 3. Heat it up. People often make the critical error of not getting the grill hot enough. That means the meat won't get that gorgeous carmelization on the outside. The grill is ready when you're barely able to hold your hand about an inch above it. When you put the meat on, cook it fully on one side, flip it just once and cook fully on the other side. This allows the middle of the meat to reach the proper temperature. 4. Season. Here's where you get to play. Because grilling happens in a flash, the flavor of the meat often comes alive from a dry rub or a marinade. You can drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper like the Argentines do, or get a little fancy with a rub made from cumin, chili powder and garlic. Experiment to find combinations that work with your tastes. Just remember that marinades must be able to endure high temperatures. Sauces like pesto or chimichurri will burn on the grill, so add them after the meat has rested. 5. Embrace your inner grill master. As soon as the meat has rested, you're going to want to serve it, so enlist your friends and family to help get everything else ready. Ask your girl to set the table. Have a mate take care of the music. Designate your neighbor to dress the salad. And then make an entrance. You know that buddy who shows up to the bar and suddenly everyone knows the party has officially started? You're that guy. There's a reason your apron says Kiss the Cook. Ready to grill?

My Wingwalker
If you think it's nerve-wracking on the wing, try being the one in the cockpit.
- By Debbie Gary
- Air & Space magazine, May 2008
Cornelius Braun
When I was a young airshow pilot, I couldn't understand what people found interesting about wingwalking. Most of what I saw was wing-riding, not wingwalking: A girl straps herself to the top wing; the pilot flies gentle aerobatics; she waves, he lands—exciting as Little Bo Peep.
In 1975, I met Rick Rojatt, the Human Fly, who was always in his Spiderman-style costume, even at the T.G.I. Friday's bar after the show in Lancaster, Texas. When he started moaning about his ride on top of a DC-8 airliner—how dangerous it was, how he thought he would not survive—I sipped my beer and thought, What a crybaby! How soon can I politely wander off to talk to the Red Devils or one of the cute and macho military pilots?
It wasn't until 26 years later, when I briefly had a wingwalker of my own, that I finally understood what he was whining about: By flying rough, the pilot really can break the wingwalker's neck; he can cause her to black out; if he does not know what he is doing, he could rip her arms out of their sockets.
For many years, the world's top wingwalking act was the late Jim Franklin's. He had been flying a wing act in his Waco since 1970 and occasionally had other pilots fly a wing act in his second Waco. Franklin had modified both airplanes extensively over the years, and in 1998 he added a jet engine to one to create a one-of-a-kind Jet Waco. The following year, his son Kyle wingwalked on it. The Jet Waco wing act became so popular that Franklin could not fill all the show requests. He wanted to offer something new, and in 2001 he called me.
Kyle, who grew up in and on his father's airplanes, had been wingwalking since 1997, when he turned 17. Over the next couple of years he would transition from stuntman to stunt pilot, flying shows himself in the piston Waco. In the interim, Franklin had wingwalker Carol Pilon flying with him. "What would you think about flying an all-women wingwalking act with Carol?" he asked me.
"I'm not sure," I said, since I had never flown either of his Wacos or a wingwalker before. "But I'll come find out."
Pilon saw wingwalking on TV in 1993 and became smitten with it. She had learned to fly, but had no airshow connections and no idea about how to become a wingwalker. There is no wingwalking school, no club to join, no sure-fire path to getting up there. Everyone's wingwalking background is different.
Stuntman Johnny Kazian started out as a trapeze artist and in 1970 became Joe Hughes' wingwalker. Lee Oman, a pilot and parachutist, caught a ride on a neighbor's Stearman wing and became Jim Franklin's wingwalker after crewing for him at airshows. Pilot Teresa Stokes went for a joyride in 1989 on aerobatic champion Gene Soucy's Show Cat and has been his wingwalker ever since.

I witnessed both of the above accidents. I was there with a bunch of airline pilots and the talk at the time was that Joe Hughes Stearman's accident was caused by "density altitude.
My thoughts as he applied power, it wasn't there for a few seconds. That happened directly in front of the stands where we sat.
Posted by Jim on September 26,2009 | 12:19 AM
I too was sitting in the stands right in front of the Hughes Stearman accident. It is a horrible sight I will remember the rest of my life especially after just witnessing M.D. Washburn getting killed in his AT-6 15 minutes earlier! It's hard to believe Joe was able to upright the Stearman without a rudder and Gordon dangling on the fuselage side by his safety cable. I'll never forget the day. I was around when the Stearman left Reno after repair of the fin and rudder. It was an eery takeoff to say the least. Horrible day at Reno.

I work for a private FBO at a local airport, and yet I'm trying to find information on how to become a wingwalker. What is required and what steps do I need to take toward my goal? Help!
Posted by Kendall on March 22,2012 | 02:38 PM
I remember 'wing walking' with Joe C. Hughes at the 1976 Quonset Air Show in Rhode Island. Debbie Gary was flying a Pitts Special in that show. The horrific accident had happened the year before; Steve Trevor was the wingwalker that year on the Super Stearman. I was a reporter for "Flight Line Times". Wonderful memories! Gail (Tager) Green

Just as the digital alarm clock hit 7:00 am, the blaring sound of the radio echoed through the small 300 square foot living room. With a groan, Roanna extended her long, skinny arm from underneath a small fleece blanket on the couch and ran her fingers over the buttons until the radio song Die Another Day turned off. A tired, groggy groan came from underneath the tangled fleece blanket until Roanna threw it off of her, letting it pool to the floor. She sat up slowly, twisting her back in different directions hearing and feeling her back crack and pop a few times. She ran her fingers through her short tangled hair before rubbing her tired eyes, forcing herself to her feet. She took a chance to look at the alarm clock which now read 7:10.
Too bad time doesnt go that fast when Im at work. She grumbled to herself. It was the first day of school, and she was already running late. She must have slept through the first alarm that was scheduled to go off at 6:30, or maybe she just didnt set it the night before. She pried herself to stand up off of the couch, picking up the blanket and folded it up, setting it on the back of the couch before going to the bathroom for a quick shower. With a towel wrapped tightly around her, she walked to her mothers even smaller bedroom and opened up the dresser that the two of them shared and quickly got dressed in a pair of tight blue worn jeans, a white cami and then a long-sleeved V-neck deep purple shirt over the top. She returned back to the bathroom to quickly run some gel through her hair, styling the short brown hair to the side and spiking up the ends of the back of her head.
Now back in the living room (which was also openly attached to the kitchen), she picked up a small cel phone from the coffee table, seeing that the backlight had just recently lit up. She flipped it open and saw that she had a text from her friend Stephanie.
I have a surprise. Can you be ready in 10?
Roanna quickly typed back a sure before stuffing the phone into her pocket and took three steps to the fridge, opening it to find it unhealthily empty. She pulled out a bottle of Dr. Pepper, closed the fridge and then gathered up her books and backpack. By the time she was ready to start walking to school, she heard a couple car honks from outside. She opened the door to find her best friend Stephanie pulled alongside the curb in her Olive Green Jeep Wrangler, top down and her blonde curly locks flying freely in the wind.
Get in stupid! Unless you want to walk? Stephanie taunted her, honking the horn twice more. Roannas tired expression melted into a smile as she ran and jumped into the car, not bothering to open the tiny car door.
If this means what I think it means, I think you just made my entire year. Roanna said throwing her backpack into the vehicles tiny back seat. Stephanie nodded, revving up the engine and took off leaving the tiny one bedroom apartment far behind.
I convinced my dad to let me transfer. Ive known for about a week, but I figured Id surprise you in style. Stephanie smirked as the two headed towards the school.

Intelligence committee has now announced that they will have hearings closed hearings I should point out on the response to the deadly terror attack on the US consulate in Libya.
But the timing of all of this is raising some eyebrows because people have been looking for answers but these hearings -- naming gets started until after the election.
Let's bring in John Bolton former US ambassador to the UN -- Fox News contributor.
Good morning ambassador good to see you good morning want to let -- with.
What do you make of that announcement.
Well I think -- -- the White House the ability to say congress is investigating what happened -- Benghazi where cooperating.
What's the problem obviously.
Not having the hearing and having it closed not having hearing before November the sixth and certainly.
Convenient and you know the White House argument that talking about this issue talking about what contributed to the tragedy in bad -- he -- say that's political.
And that were politicizing the tragedy I think is very misplaced we have Americans in the Middle East now who are still at risk.
Officials in our diplomatic facilities and private citizens to -- in many respects have even less protection -- the diplomat so.
I think there's a real urgency to this and it's consistent with the administration's behavior since since September the eleventh itself.
That they're reacting in a very passive fashion.
What make over this ongoing debate which would clearly be one of the subjects of this hearing.
About the reaction in the military reaction I've heard both sides I've heard people criticize and that we didn't send somebody in there to help them out.
During the six hours or so that all this played out and I've heard other military folks say that they believe that that what could be done was done during those hours.
Well I think this issue.
Itself is actually much more important than the debate over whether the the riots the demonstration the terrorist attack was caused by this ridiculous YouTube video.
Or whether it was a planned terrorist attack from the beginning I think the evidence is overwhelming now not only.
That it was a planned terrorist attack but the administration knew that essentially in real time on September the eleventh.
But the larger question.
Why the administration had continually refused request for security enhancements from embassy triple -- now why more wasn't done on September the eleventh and there after.
I think we actually know less about the American side at this point in some respects than we do about the -- sided and one point I think it's important.
We should not look back on this is a kind of historical matter but where we know only one facility was attacked and only for seven hours at that time you couldn't tell whether this was just the beginning of a whole wave of attacks across the region -- plant and yet the response.
That was only very fitful and I think most likely because the Pentagon simply.
Automatically put into effect contingency plans that thankfully it has for a whole.
Variety of circumstances not because there was decisiveness and action directed by the White House.
If I think most people just want to see this situation with clear eyes so that we can be.
Ready and prepared and we understand exactly what's going -- -- -- on the ground in and other potential threats to our -- is you point out.
I spoke a little while ago with the Intel chairman of the house Mike Rogers and he said you know we look back at history.
And the USS Cole bombing.
They claimed al-Qaeda claimed later in documents that were found and and discussions that were found that because there was no reaction to that for a while.
No retaliation they felt emboldened by -- in his concern is that because we haven't done anything you know now gone on two months.
And that the same thing might happen when he -- Well I think there's a very real risk of that you know maybe the administration really is planning some kind of military response it did it hasn't looked that way it looks like they're gonna treated once again is a law enforcement matter.
I hope they are preparing a military response it would be just about the only national security secret the administration is -- recently.
But I think congressman Roger's point is right on target think back -- 1979.
Not only did we have our diplomats in Tehran taken hostage we had the embassy in Pakistan burned we had our ambassador in Afghanistan assassinated.
So there was a whole series of things that happened that year and I think you have to say.
That -- at risk of others saying well look they haven't responded to the attack and Ben Ghazi let's see what we can do now.
-- -- and thank him and I was gonna CM.

SOURCE Vital Access Corporation
SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Vital Access Corp. today announced that it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) market clearance for its patented VWING™ Vascular Needle Guide which has been shown to enable vascular access to arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) for patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Kidney failure affects millions of people worldwide, and hemodialysis via an autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the global gold standard for patients undergoing treatment. However, establishing and maintaining reliable vascular access continues to be a significant challenge, made worse in recent years by the growing prevalence of obesity, diabetes and hypertension amongst kidney failure patients.
The VWING is a surgically placed vascular needle guide that is completely subcutaneous and extravascular. The VWING provides an easily palpable target for needle insertion and guides a dialysis needle directly to the targeted vessel, enabling the use of blunt needles via a guided constant site or "buttonhole" cannulation. Buttonhole cannulation technique has been shown in multiple clinical studies to reduce AV fistulae complications and improve long-term fistula durability and patency. However, the technique has not gained broad adoption due to practical challenges with clinical implementation. The VWING has demonstrated its ability to enable the use of buttonhole cannulation technique.
The VWING is supported by robust clinical evidence collected in the recently completed SAVE study. The study was a multi-center, AV fistula salvage trial that included 54 dialysis patients with uncannulatable, deep AV fistulae, who were implanted with VWINGs (82 devices were implanted in total) and followed for 6 months post-implantation. Duane Blatter, M.D., Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Vital Access Corp. states, "The SAVE study demonstrated that the VWING Vascular Needle Guide is an effective and safe tool for uncannulatable AVFs, with an impressive salvage rate of 96%. The study also demonstrated high buttonhole cannulation success and low occurrence of device related adverse events, including infection and stenosis. I believe the VWING will enable clinicians to better address the access needs of hemodialysis patients by facilitating effective AVF cannulation in a wide range of dialysis patients."
"The VWING Vascular Needle Guide is an exciting addition to the armamentarium of the vascular access surgeon," said Spencer Galt, MD, a principal investigator in the SAVE Study. "I believe it will render surgical superficialization obsolete. I have placed numerous VWING devices, and I am very happy that it is now available to all access surgeons. It will help support the Fistula First Initiative," he added.
Tip Jennings, vascular surgeon and principal investigator in the SAVE Study, commented, "I expect the device will be an important option for vascular access surgeons. Non-usable fistulas were easily converted to a reliable vascular access quickly, using the VWING implanted in a relatively minor procedure. Both patients and staff were very pleased with the outcomes."
"We believe VWING will be the tool of choice for vascular surgeons to overcome anatomical limitations and provide consistent access for dialysis patients." said Vital Access President and CEO, Doug Smith. "Moreover, it will give nephrologists and dialysis centers the ability to prescribe the most optimal cannulation method for each patient, regardless of clinic staffing or patients' anatomical limitations."
About Vital Access
Vital Access Corporation is a privately held company located in Salt Lake City, Utah that designs and manufactures surgical and interventional technologies to improve vascular access for patients and their caregivers. The VWING Vascular Needle Guide is also approved and available for use in Europe and Canada. For more information please call 801-433-9390 or visit www.vital-access.com.

Education proposal from a local perspective
Gov. Terry Branstad has proposed education reform across the state of Iowa. The proposal includes stipulations such as increasing teacher base pay from $28,000 to $35,000, creating a teacher career ladder and forgiving loans of up to $20,000 of new education graduates teaching in Iowa.
Allowable growth
Over five years, $187 million will be doled out to school districts across the state. As of Tuesday, schools will not receive any money for "allowable growth," a percentage increase per student that helps schools pay for rising prices of paper, electricity and heat.

The anatomy cookbook : a dissection guide with recipes
The Anatomy Cookbook has been written to accompany an anatomy and physiology course for bioengineers who would otherwise have missed out on the opportunity to study real organ systems at first hand. It is not an alternative to a standard anatomy text, it acts more as a laboratory supplement. The fun bit is that your kitchen takes the place of the dissection room. Each recipe provides an insight into one or more organs, and all you need to do is go to the supermarket and be prepared to think a

I am very happy with this. It took my husband and I around 30 minutes to put together. We have 3 year old twins and we ended up buying this one for our son. We got the barbie jeep for our daughter. Anyways, they are both able to ride on this without a problem. It is easy for him to steer and drive. He prefers the 5.0 mph mode. They use the Jeeps 4-5 times a week for about an hour each time. We charge them overnight 2 times a week. Very satisfied.

years of fun!

from Ga.
We have 4 Grandson's ,all 4 and under. We bought this for Christmas 2 yrs. ago to keep at MeMe & PaPa's house for them when they visit. We like that it has low and faster speeds, forward & reverse. They have learned to be pretty good drivers already! Best purchase we ever made for them! They especially love the radio that plays cool music and also the sounds of the motor revving up! The hood lifts up for them to "work on the motor" and it also has tool place, row bar and two seat belts! Very sturdy and safe.
This thing rocks!

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
This Jeep is great! I had it for 2 years and now I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and the jeep was barely moving. I went online and learned about the 2.5mph lockout screw. I took that out today and my son is extremely happy. Now it goes about 5mph with one kid in there. Haven't tried with 2 yet because the little one is sleeping! Can't wait until morning!

About Me Grandparent
Grandson loves his new wheels. Two speeds that can be controlled by the parent. Easy to shift reverse and forward controls. Nice traction even better with a passenger, although if your little guy/gal is very light, it may stick in the grass. Thick plastic body, very little assembly. There are cheaper motorized cars on the market but you'll regret it. Power wheels are the best and they'll still be around when the child out grows it.
Lots of Fun

About Me Grandparent, Parent Of Two Or More Children
My four year old was completely surprised with this Jeep. He learned very quickly how to operate the forward and reverse as well as the microphone and the "radio". The Jeep goes over our bumpy yard nicely. The slow speed is fantastic for learning on but I can see setting the higher speed before long. I had to add some weight to the back end so that it doesn't get stuck so easily. Other than that we are extremely happy with this product!

Capt. Jimmy Robertson |
I wanted to update everyone on my dad's condition. We found out yesterday that he has had a setback in his recovery. The infection in his legs has returned and he will be gettng a PICC line put in Thursday.
He will be going to his infectious disease doctor every morning in Port Charlotte to have I.V. antibiotics injected. We don't know how long we will have to do this.
There is also the possibility he might have to be re-admitted to Peace River if they can't get the infection under control. He will be getting weekly blood tests to make sure everything is going well. We still have home health coming to the house every other day for bandage and wound vac changes.
There is a donation fund set up at gofundme.com called Capt. Jimmy Rehabfund.
Thank You.

Editor's note:
Capt. Jimmy sustained a simple injury to his left foot and leg in early July, which led to something called necrotizing facsiitis. It is also known as a flesh-eating disease. He almost lost his leg, and has since had several surgeries. The family's insurance only covers a portion of his hospital bills.

We can surmise this pathway was difficult and tiring. It is told that King Ludwig of Hungary lost more than 40 horses, who died of hunger and exhaustion as he attempted to shorten his route to Hungary via this path. He and the people accompanying him only reached their destination after four years. Apparently, this was referring to the path that goes forth from Klimets near the Stryj. This was the first time that Turka was mentioned in history, and shows that the path that runs between the forests of Turka was uncharted, difficult, and unused. People did not frequent the wild areas surrounding the desolate mountains of Turka.
In 1431, King Wladyslaw Jagiello bequeathed Turka and the surrounding estates, through the rights granted to him in Medukha, to one of his warriors of the Wallachian families and their dynasty, who excelled in their faithful service to the kingdom. The bequeathment included the rights of inheritance.
However, the borders of the inheritance were not explicitly defined. The Stryj River, along whose banks the estate was situated, was mentioned in the documents. It mentions the trees, called Ayl on the fields of Isa, Sursur, and Brod, as the border point between separating between the lands of the Wallachian fighter and the royal lands. For this reason, King Zygmunt I was forced to appoint a special commission in order to precisely establish the borders of the Lords of the Turcki family and the royal estates.
[Page 26]
In 1444, Wanko of Turka, one of the confidantes of King Wladyslaw, who was called Waranczyk after his death, received, due to his many rights, a plot of three square miles located between the Bukowiec River (that flows into the San) until the borders of the village of Zurawno. This right was given in Wardein, Hungary. In addition, he received a permit that applies to his former rights, that is to the bequeathment of Turka to his father by King Wladyslaw Jagiello. Their sons and grandchildren, who received Turka and its environs from the kings as a gift, called themselves Turcki. Those who belonged in Jawor called their name Jaworski, and those who settled in the Ilnyk area called themselves Ilnycki.
Queen Buna commanded that the road from Sambor to Turka be paved, so that all sorts of good things could be transported to her native land. She visited the area frequently in order to hunt in the forests of Turka. In the 16th century, there were already many Wallachians there who fled there to escape Hungarian oppression. They brought their customs and laws with them, which became accepted and customary there. Indeed, the settlement in all of the villages in the region of Turka was conducted primarily by the law of the Wallachians. The rights of these locales were frequently emphasized.
The Tatars, who prior to this never came between the mountains out of fear of the difficult passage and of ambush, were forced to escape in 1594 through the mountains of the region of Turka and Skola, when the Polish army headed by commander Jan Zamojski pursued them. The Tatars left a trail of ruin and destruction in the wake of their escape.
[Page 27]
Historical information about the local disputes and battles of the Szlachta (Polish nobility) remain with us to this day, including the attack of Szlochtong on the court of Jaworski Prakowicz near Turka, the attack of Wysocnaski on Rozmir, and of Pamientowski from Rozluch on the Dwornickes of Bobarka, and finally -- the dispute between the Szlachta of Wysock and Komornik with the people of Skoli.
Turka was destroyed by Hungarian pillagers in 1697. After the victory over the border guard Stefan Turcki, they pillaged the entire area and set it on fire.
In 1729, Turka, along with its suburb of Zawiznice, transferred from its previous owners, who lost their means due to the previous attack, to the hands of Jan Antoni Kalinowski.

he concerned himself with their religious and social needs. That year, he built the first synagogue in Turka with his own money, costing 30,000 Polish zloty at that time. He also donated through his own initiative a Jewish old age residence. He gave the Jews a suitable plot for a Jewish cemetery from his private land. All the local Jews were permitted to take the necessary amount of wood from his forests for building their residential homes and for heating. Kalinowski even set up a Jewish printing press, which published various prayer books and study books. One copy of this ancient prayer book was kept in the archives of the community of Turka until the Holocaust. The following text is written on the front page of the prayer book in both Polish and Hebrew.
W Turce. Dziedzicznym miescie I. W. Imci Pana Antoniego, Pana Na Wielkich Kamionkach Turce, Beniowycz X. Kalinowskiego, Podkomorzego Inflantskiego Wojsk Jego Krolewskiej Mosci y Rze. Pos. Pulkownika Pana y Dobrodziedz.
Note: this is a machzor -- a festival prayer book. A rough English translation of the above Polish inscription is as follows. Som of the titles could not be translated literally:
In Turka. To ... Sir Antoni Kalinowski, landlord of Turka, Kamionki Wielkie, Beniowce (?) and ... and colonel of HM the king and the Republic.}

After the declaration of the constitution and the change of citizenship rights in the lands under Austrian rule, the three aforementioned communities merged into on civic community for all citizens. After the merge, Mrs. Moshe Shechter was elected to the city council as a representative of the Jews.
Throughout that entire era, until the year 1903, no official Jewish community with a charter for autonomy and general elections existed in Turka. The people who headed the community were given the title of Regirer. These were delegates of the Jews who were elected from time to time at meetings in the synagogues. However, these people did not maintain any office, did not collect any taxes at all, and did not set up committees to administer to the needs of the community. The shochtim (ritual slaughterers) earned their livelihood from the income of shechita, and also designated specific percentages for the rabbi of the community or his delegate. Communal affairs were decided upon in meetings that were convened with sufficient frequency in the synagogues. These meetings were conducted by influential Jews, and the decisions that were taken obligated the entire community.
No election to the Jewish communal council took place during the time of the First World War, since the residents left en masse due to the approach of the Russian Army. Indeed, the Russian army mercilessly plundered and destroyed all of the Jewish property in the city.
[Page 31]
The next elections for the communal council in Turka took place only in 1925. Once again, Dr. Lowinger was elected as chairman and Daniel Ortel as the vice chairman. The members were Hirsch-Leib Shreiber, Mendel Keller, Dr. Glik, Moshe Hirt, ShN. Majner, and Avraham Langenauer.
Elections to the communal council took place once again in 1928, on the basis of the new charter of communities of the Polish Republic. The members of the new committee were: Dr. Lowinger as chairman, Dr. Glik as vice chairman; and six members that including the rabbi of the city Rabbi Eliezer Mishel as vigilist. There were twelve council members, headed by Mr. Adolf Bernstein.
{Photo page 31 left: Member of the communal council Dr. P. Rajntal.}
Due to disarray in the community, the government disbanded the council and the committee, and, in the year 1935, appointed the Turka lawyer Dr. Maurycy Bruch as the government trustee. Alongside him, the advisory council consisted of Yisrael Intrator as vice trustee, Dr.

The population of Turka prior to the Second World War was 6,000, of which 41% were Jewish. The number of Jewish residents in the surrounding villages was 7,000.
Translated from Polish by Ida Z.
Administrative Divisions The primary factor in the settlement and building up of Turka and its dependencies was undoubtedly the rivers and the abundance from the mountains. The primary administrative division was in essence the town itself: Turka on the Stryj River, which was the capital of the district, and which contained all of the district government offices. 273 villages and settlements were dependent on it.

In olden times Jews of Turka lived in the same primitive conditions as the local Ukrainian population. They ate potatoes and oatmeal bread all week, and for the Sabbath, they went to the mill, milled a bit of wheat, and baked narrow wheat challos. There was no great difference between rich and poor. Even the clothing was very poor. Young people wore long shirts of thick flax and in the summer they went barefoot without shoes For the wedding, they made the young people trestle boots, two pairs of cloth pants and bekishes (Hassidic cloaks), and shirt of thick gentile flax. They did not make much more for the girls
As the very old Jews used to relate, a great change came in life in Turka when they began to build the railway line. Turka continued to live with the old order as long as there was no railway line. The economic and employment situation changed completely. Together with that, the cultural and social situation changed. In truth, people relate, that even before the time of the railway, there were already a few great students n Turka, who had already secretly become Zionists and occupied themselves with Zionist literature but this was all strictly undercover.
When the railway was built, a certain Jewish railway engineer came to Turka, and founded a Zionist organization called Mizrachi in Turka the first organization of the new times in Turka. At the beginning, the organization was very small, for the youth were afraid to join it due to the great persecutions that they had to withstand, both from their parents and from others. They would not let the youth worship in the kloizes. On occasion such a young man would receive a slap and be thrown out of the Belzer Kloiz. This was considered to be an illness for them they were called 'treifenicks' 1.
However, time did not stand still.. Slowly, the Zionist organization expanded and grew. Elections to the Austrian parliament took place in 1907. There were two Jewish candidates in the regions (the nationalist Jew Dr. Gershon Zipper and the assimilationist Dr. Nathan Levenstein A Pole of the Mosaic faith). By then, the Zionist organization of Turka conducted a large scale activity and great agitation.
The economic changes were mainly evidenced by the building of many sawmills, for when the railway was built, they began to cut down the forests and transport the wood by train. This provided livelihood to may Jews of Turka. Jews were clerks, contractors, employees, etc. at all of the lumber enterprises. Life changed significantly, and Jews no longer had to mill flour for the Sabbath
One profession in Turka was a victim of the railway the wagon drivers. They, whose entire livelihood consisted of bringing in and sending out of merchandise with their horse drawn wagons, begged G-d that He should make a miracle and the axle of the train should break However, no miracle took place, and the trains continued to ride
Indeed, business greatly expanded, and Jews conducted commerce. But not all the greatest number of Jews still remained poor. They worked at various trades, and were tailors, shoemakers, and others. Above everything, tailors worked with their hands, for there were no new machines in Turka. When one could obtain a new machine, there was no money to purchase it. One tailor, who had some means, purchased a new machine at that time. This was Baruch Yosef Frankel. Indeed, other tailors would come to him and pay him to make their stitches. Later, the Singer firm from America arrived. It was represented by Alter Montag, who was the gabbai (trustee) of the Tailor's Synagogue. Reb Alter gave machines to all of the tailors, which were to be paid for in installments. The terms were for a year or two, but it often dragged on to six or eight years. Alter Montag would always lengthen the terms.
In short, it was a bit better for tailors and shoemakers. However, when Thursday came, and one needed 4-5 Crowns for the Sabbath, one had to sweat hard until it came.
Young people slowly began to read the Jewish Tagblatt that was published in Lemberg 3. They also took interest in Yiddish theater. Troupes came from Lemberg, and various Jewish songs began to be sung in Turka.
However, not everything went smoothly. Youth still went to sing and to recite with their observant parents and other observant families. The older generation did not surrender so quickly, and they waged a battle with the treifeniks.
It was fortuitous that the older generation did not always have a great deal of time, and they were occupied with their own problems and difficulties. As well, G-d sent them a difficult problem when they had to choose a new rabbi after the old rabbi died. This was in 1909 or 1910. A large proportion wanted the grandson of the Rebbe of Sambor. However, the communal council and other Jews wanted only Rabbi Mishel, who was not very popular, but was very good at learning. Samborer Hassidim stormed the communal offices. There were fights in the streets, and also at tables and on chairs
Rabbi Mishel and the Jewish community council were victorious. With them were wealthy Jews, the owners of the Profinacia (Liquor monopoly), who purchased it from the heirs of Count Kolinowski. Those heirs owned all of their lands in the Turka region, and Jews purchased these lands. All of the wealthy Jews were adherents of the assimilationist Dr. Levenstein against the nationalist activist Dr. Zipper. The Pole of the Mosaic faith once again was victorious in the elections of 1911. Great battles broke out in Turka over those elections. Moshe Shein and his Socialist group came to the assistance of the Zionist side, which was incidentally quite strong. The assimilationist group won, for it was helped by the police.
When the famous Beiles Trial took place in Kiev prior to the first World War, a large protest meeting against the Czarist authorities took place in Turka. Leibel Taubes from Lemberg spoke at that gathering, which took place in the large synagogue and was packed.
A time of cultural and political activity began in Turka at that time. Theatrical troupes began to come from Lemberg and Krakow. Then, a dramatic circle was founded as part of the Zionist organization at that time. The Turka population attended all of the performances en masse.
At that time, a table maker by the name of Hersh Fett came to Turka and settled there. Fett founded a handworker's organization called Yad Charutzim, which developed with fine activities. It was a union that included shoemakers, tailors, clockmakers, locksmiths, table makers and other professions.
The aforementioned Moshe Shein founded the first Jewish socialist organization called Zh. P. S., which was a branch of the Polish P. P. S. (Polska Partja Socialistyczna). That Socialist organization did not have a great success, for people were somewhat ashamed to belong to that organization
Small social-religious organizations were active at the time. These included the Chevra Kadisha (which was as old as the town of Turka itself ), Psalm reciters, and others. Their members were extremely disciplined, and any command from a trustee was immediately acted upon. They stood at a very high moral level. They had respect for old people, and never battled against them. Jews were honorable and deeply religious. They eschewed tale bearing and accepted lovingly all manners of life that were thrown their way.
In 1912, a young man (He was a son of the Koncikers Rebbe name Oestreich) got married in Turka. He wished to open a clothing factory in town. The tailors found out about this and gave him a difficult time. The young man soon regretted this and clarified that he would not wish to take livelihood away from the poor tailors.
Rabbi Eli Kapel, a judge and great scholar, ordered two suits for his two children. The tailor delivered the work, and Reb Eli did not have enough money to pay. Reb Eli sent back the clothing, for it was strongly forbidden to wear things for which the workers the workers were not paid.
There was also an organization for giving of assistance in secret. The city knew that Chaim Hirsch would send two cranes to Mattel the scribe and to other poor Jews every Thursday for the Sabbath.
A poor Jew called Yankel Kugel used to travel around with a hors and buggy. He would conclude his work at noon on Friday. Two hours before candle lighting, he already went to worship at the Kloiz, dressed in a silk bekishe (Hassidic robe), streimel, loafers and white socks. Yankel used to always conduct services. He would worship in the Kloiz of Rabbi Langerman on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. They used to say that his praying would instill fear in the youth. His voice thundered up to heaven.
Berl Chaluk was a poor, honorable Jew. He had the custom of bringing cold water into the synagogue when Jews used to sit there on the Sabbath and recite Psalms. The Psalms reciters would refresh their heart with the water. One day, Berl met a young man who said to him, Berl, you have taken water to the synagogue for such a long time. Perhaps you should give this over to someone younger than you? Berl answered, My young man, this water porting to the synagogue is my mitzvah and my custom, and I have no intention of giving it over to anybody When I die, it should be transferred to my son Shimon

Turka is situated in the Carpathians, approximately 30 kilometers from the Beskid Peaks. The population of the city was more than 50% Jewish. There were also many Jews among the population of the large number of villages surrounding Turka. Some of them literally worked the land. Poles and Ukrainians formed the rest of the population of the city. The Polish residents were the intelligentsia of the city for the most part, including teachers, government officials, and the like. However, there was a certain degree of intelligentsia, primarily teachers, among the Ukrainian population.
There were very few Jewish officials of the general government. On the other hand, I recall two Jewish mayors. One Jewish mayor was Shechter, who was the wealthy man of the city, and the second was Dr. Landis. A Pole was appointed as mayor only in 1916 or 1917. He was the school principal. It is especially appropriate to note Dr. Landis here, for he did a great deal for the benefit of the city. Indeed, at times, the thought has come to my mind that this Dr. Landis served as a good example for our Abba Hushi...
Turka, like all of the cities of Galicia, was somnolent from generation to generation... until the Haskalah began to knock on the gates of the Jewish settlements -- some sooner and some later. In any case, the Haskalah came to us in Turka very late... Only certain special Jews
[Page 42]
were involved in it at the end of the 19th or the beginning of the 20th century, but they were not so daring as to make this fact public.
With the passage of time, gentile grocery stores began to open up, especially a Ukrainian cooperative. There were not yet any other sources of commerce, for everything was in
[Page 43]
the hands of the Jews. A change for the worse took place during the 1930s, as many gentile shops opened up.
It was like this. The railway line between Lwow and Budapest via the Carpathians began to be completed at the beginning of the century. This railway line passed through Turka. This led to an improvement in the economic situation of Turka, and the town began to arise from its poverty. At that time, there were thousands of workers in the town and the area, primarily Italians, and there was hope. Something else helped with this: Along with the workers, a Jew named Rozenblat, who was attracted to Zionism, came to town. This engineer was the one who brought a new spirit to numerous youths of the kloizes. Thus, the first breach was created... Among these first ones, we should mention Baruch Maj (his daughter lives in Israel), Nechemia Shteiger, Yosef Kopel, Y. M. Shreiber, and Berish Lorberbaum. With the passage of time, other youths were added to these daring ones, and the founded a Zionist organization named Mizracha. By the years 1907-1910, their influence on the Jewish Street was already quite recognizable. When time came for the elections to the Austrian government, and the assimilationist Dr. Levinstein who was supported by the government as well as the Zionist Dr. Ziper submitted their candidacies, a commotion broke out in the city, and there was also a Zionist demonstration.
The first beginnings of the Hebrew school also took place at that time. However, this activity was very restricted, and was not met with recognizable success.
The situation changed in its entirety during the period of the First World War. The Jews left when the Russians entered the town, and only returned when the town was reconquered by the Austrian Army in 1915. From then, things began as new. Everything was in the hands of the youth, for the older people were drafted to the army. One youth appeared at this point, who today is the mayor of the city of Haifa, and gathered a group of youths into his house, who were the sons of proper people with curly peyos (the writer of these lines among them), and began to speak about the founding of Young Zion, the study of Hebrew, preparations for aliya to the Land of Israel, etc. Indeed, we began to study Hebrew, using the book of Moshe Roth.
[Page 44]
When the refugees of the war began to return to the town, many members began to join Young Zion. The group disbanded with the passage of time. One group, along with Abba Hushi, transferred to Hashomer Hatzair, and the second group remained with Young Zion until the appearance of Hitachdut. These two groups conducted many cultural activities in the city. A library affiliated with Young Zion was opened in the city, containing books in Yiddish, Hebrew, Polish and German. At Hashomer Hatzair, we attempted to prepare for aliya to the Land. At that time, we obtained a plot of Land to work. We also chopped trees for the householders of the city. In those days, such activities were very revolutionary...
These activities were primarily centered in the large community hall that was built by the local Zionist organization. Already before the First World War, a Jew named Dr. Turnheim donated the land for this building.
The first group, headed by Abba Hushi, made aliya to the Land in 1920. (I did not make aliya with that group due to a family tragedy.) After some time, the second group, of Young Zion, made aliya, headed by Moshe Yisraeli.
At that time the Hechalutz movement began. Its members came from various organizations. A Gordonia chapter was also founded at that time by Manis Branes of blessed memory. I recall that Pinchas Lubianker visited the town for a leadership inspection at the time of the founding of that chapter. Activists in Hitachdut included Shlomo Pellach, Shlomo Feiler, Moshe Krabes, and others.
I especially wish to note the activities of Y. M. Shreiber, who was a Hebrew teacher as well as the delegate of the Keren Kayemet (Jewish National Fund) throughout all of his days. Absolutely everybody received their inspiration from him. In 1939, I received a letter from him containing greetings for our members in the Land.
Then the headquarters of the movement decided to hold a national convention. At that point, Abba Hushi already was able to influence the headquarters to hold the convention in the village of Torna near Turka. There was
[Page 45]
a Jewish landowner there named Tzvi Rand (a Holocaust survivor, whom I greeted here when he came to the Land), who placed his barn and some of his buildings at the disposal of the convention. The participants included Elizer Berger of blessed memory, Dolek Horowitz, Meir Yaari, Spiegel, Sarah Meirsdorf, and Abba Hushi. I recall the strong impression that the convention delegates had on the people of Turka. Their arrival by train, dressed in uniforms that resembled army fatigues, etc. -- all of this excited our imaginations, for we saw them as a Jewish army who would go up and conquer the Land of Israel...

Translated by Jerrold Landau
Donated by Boaz Ben-Pelech The war during the years 1914-1918 brought great tribulations to the Jews of Turka, and a great destruction to the town. This began on the second day of Rosh Hashanah. At 2:00, a Russian cavalry patrol tore into Turka. Not two minutes passed when the whistle of a locomotive was heard. It became known in town that the train station was empty. Nobody from the town was there, for everyone fled. We soon understood that something was about to happen. Indeed, shooting was heard shortly. It became known that an Austrian patrol arrived with the locomotive and shot at the Russians. The Russian patrol fled, and the city was left empty not Austrian and not Russian
A great panic ensued. People ran from the burning houses as they were, leaving behind all of their belongings, the product of the labor of the course of over a hundred years. As stated, the fire engulfed the entire Rynek from both sides, and burnt all of the alleyways around the synagogue and the Kloizes. The synagogue, the Belzer Kloiz and the Beis Midrash all burnt. The panic was indescribable. Jews ran to save the Torah scrolls. They tore into the burning Kloizes and dragged out the holy scrolls. The Cossacks were standing not far from those Jewish alleyways, beating the Jews who were carrying the holy books with Cossack style whips.
Thus did Turka burn until the second day. The Christians pillaged until late in the night. Then, things began to be quiet However, late at night, a new terror and panic began among the Jews who remained in the city. Russian officers broke into the Jewish houses with revolvers in their hands, and searched for Jewish girls and women The shrieks of those girls and women were terrible. It seemed as if they would kill all of the Jews. From one house, the cry of the entire Jewish population who lived there could be heard. This continued until 2:00 a.m. Afterward, it became silent again until the morning.
The result of that night was one Jew dead and one Jew wounded. This occurred because they did not allow their wives to be violated. In the morning, all Jews left the city and fled to the villages around Turka. The Turka Jews lived there for a difficult 21 days, for there was nothing to eat. Many people died from the typhus and cholera that quickly spread among the Jewish people. The weather was also uncooperative. On the eve of Yom Kippur, there was a large snowfall. Winter lay like a heavy stone upon the hungry Jewish population, who slept in the attics of the stables of the village Jews. The rooms were filled with young children. Among other things, there was no place to lay one's head.
Thus were they tormented for the entire three weeks until the Austrian army retook Turka, and the Russians fled to Stary-Sambor. Then the Jews of Turka returned to their city, and once again crowded themselves into the Olica, 4-8 families in a room. The poverty was very great. They had no shirt on their bodies, and no money with which to purchase a piece of bread. People ran around the Christians to retrieve their pillaged items. A few indeed succeeded in retrieving something, however the great majority could not get anything.
The Turka Jews were homeless refugees. They were tossed into the Austria-Hungary Empire, and they spent the entire war there. The Austrian regime even gave them a significant amount of support, that enabled the homeless Jews to withstand the tribulations and permitted them to return to their former homes. In 1916, when the Russians began to retreat from Galicia, the Jews of Turka began to return home.
Time passed and the war finally ended. The Jews soldiers began to return home from the fronts. There were new tones: everyone was a thorough revolutionary.
In the meantime, the Ukrainians took over the political authority, and it was hard on the heart They granted so-called political freedom, but there was no food and no livelihood. The Ukrainians and Poles formed a common front and the struggle became more difficult. The Ukrainians began to see where they were, and it was very cramped. Typhus began to spread again, and slowly engulfed the entire Jewish population. Many Jews died of the epidemic. The struggle became progressively worse.
Nevertheless, the youth organized themselves into various groups that sprouted up. The youth felt that a new time was coming. The Ukrainians would not be able to maintain their authority, and we would become Polish citizens.
Indeed, that is what happened. Within a short period of time, the Poles overtook the Ukrainians, and we became Polish citizens, albeit with new tribulations and new worries

He excelled in his studies in cheder, and became an assistant to the teacher. His father's hope was that he would end up as a teacher to the older students.
Once, I climbed up to the attic for some reason, and, to my surprise, found a complete treasury in the form of a closed trunk. This was a type of kopertal in the vernacular. I opened it and found books, booklets, and other types of papers. With joy, I told my mother Rivka about this find. However, she had certainly known about this, and she forbade me from approaching the trunk. It was clear that this trunk housed Yisrael Moshe's study materials, which he used to study secular subjects in secret.
He would study every night, with his head resting on his elbow, supporting himself on the table. He would not utter any sound, but only study the holy books. However, when his father went to sleep, he would get up, take out the hidden secular books, and study them.
My later father would get up in the middle of the night to recite the Tikkun Chatzot service[2]. Once, he passed by him, and saw him with the non-kosher material in his hands. He told my mother, but my mother softened Father's stance, The cheder studies are not sufficient to sustain him
[Page 51]
As I have stated, he later became known in the city. Everyone studied Hebrew with him. He married and had a child but no memory of them remains.
These Jews would generally conduct themselves according to the principles of tending to guests, participating in communal matters, etc. However, there were also some who acted in a miserly fashion, and did not tend to guests. The Chevra Kadisha knew how to repay such miserly Jews. When they would bring their dead to be buried, they would be asked to pay more than double. The incoming money was, of course designated to the upkeep of the cemetery, the costs of burial of poor people, etc.
There was a custom with the Chevra Kadisha of Turka that if they were unable to bury the dead on the day of his death, two of the members would be asked to sit with the deceased for the entire night next to burning candles.
Once, on a winter night, my father was asked to stand guard over the deceased along with another man. Indeed, my father had the opportunity to fulfill this commandment often enough, since our house was located in close proximity to the cemetery. Already before midnight, the guardians realized that the candles would not last the entire night. Therefore, the second man was asked to go to the store of Yosef Meir Bik, located nearby, to purchase candles. First, the man drank a glass of liquor, and then he sat down to rest on some bench, and fell asleep for the entire night
My father remained with the deceased in darkness. In accordance with the custom, he had to remain with the deceased until daylight.
How did the Chevra Kadisha get new members? How did these members pass the first trial by fire?
[Page 52]
They brought the candidate to the tahara room[3], and left him there. If he endured this, he would be accepted as a member
Gutscha, a girl of about 15 years old, was the daughter of my uncle Neituch. She dressed up as a boy, so that the Cossacks would not set their eyes upon her. She tied a kerchief to her belt, as if she was suffering from a toothache, and a large hat that covered her forehead. She put on an old man's suit and boots and thus did she go around among the men in the shadow of her father.
Once, a Russian soldier came to us and wanted to say Kaddish in memory of his father. When he wanted to include the lad in the minyan, he was told that he had not yet reached the age of Bar Mitzvah. He answered, Without inviting the evil eye, -- a grown up looking child
Our route led in the direction of the Hungarian border. There were no trains, so some set out by wagon, and others by foot, throughout all the paths and routes the main thing was to leave the place. Even the Austrian Army retreated across the Hungarian border. Thus, our route was determined by the movements of the army. When the captains saw my two younger sisters and younger brother, they had mercy on them and seated them in an army wagon. My older brother was told to walk behind the wagon. Our aim was to go to our uncle in Berezina. My mother and I walked on a separate path. In the middle of the night, the captain who was transporting our family received an order to return to Turka. The children had to get off the wagon and wander by foot on unknown paths in the darkness of the night. Along with
[Page 53]
other refugees, we reached the Shanka border crossing. A transport train arrived there, which gathered all the refugees, and crowded them in like sardines. We could not meet up with our young family members, but it was clear that we would meet up at our uncle's in Berezina. However, when the train arrived in Berezina, the Hungarian police arrived and did not let anyone get off the trains. My mother and I succeeded in sneaking off the train and hiding beneath it, but the children did not do this, and therefore continued on the train to the city of Gaya in Moravia. Many refugees from Turka had also come to that city. My parents and I later left Berezina to go to Gaya, but this time, we were sent to Czechia[5] instead of Moravia. We arrived in the city of Klatovy, not far from Pilsen. The family was separated, and was only reunited after a long time.
The Czechs were good, upright people. They had not yet felt the taste of the war, even though their children were already serving in the army. These Czechs were surprised and asked, Why are there only Jews among the refugees?
The situation in Klatovy was very difficult at first. The refugees lived in large warehouses and slept on straw. There was a central kitchen which cooked substandard food, and whose kashruth reliability was questionable. Therefore, many Orthodox Jews subsisted on tea and bread. The young children contracted various childhood illnesses that spread like an epidemic. These diseases cut them down 40 children died within one month.
The wealthier of the refugees, who had sums of money with them, were permitted to live in the city. However, these were very few. Some other refugees went on strike and refused to accept the portions of cooked food. As a result of the strike, the Austrian government built new bunks. A large kitchen was built which was available to the families for private cooking. The families received sustenance grants in accordance with the number of family members. There were also factories in which one could work and earn a salary.
For a long time, the children of the refugees did not have a school. Finally, a teacher from Poland was found who gathered four grades together and taught them. The students mainly studied German; however, it should be noted that these studies did not have great value.
Grandfather once went to the funeral of a refugee in the cemetery. He noticed that the deceased, who was lying in a crate, was lowered deep into the grave with chains. He said, Me, they won't lower
[Page 54]
with chains. He left Czechia in haste and arrived in Turka. He found his home in ruins. He wandered around for a week, and then went to his son in Berezina. He died there after about a week, at the age of 83.

At the end of the day, each obese person needs to choose his or her own path to get down to a more reasonable and healthier weight. But the alternative, doing nothing, is a recipe for disaster. (How many morbidly obese people in their 80s have you seen lately?)
For me, it wasn't a cosmetic or vanity thing. It was a choice I made so I'd be around to walk my daughter down the aisle or see my son win the Heisman trophy.
Gov. Christie, you talked about being angry that your kids were watching TV when the doctor said she was concerned you'd die in office.
Let me tell you something: It's much better that they hear that and then have you around to explain it to them than have to experience the scary alternative.

Long story short: By upping the ante character-wise and creating memorable action sequences, Catching Fire is a vast improvement on the first Hunger Games film. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will remind you of: The Lord of the Flies, Battle Royale, Predator, The Truman Show, Dark City, The Running Man, The Dirty Dozen.
The second Hunger Games movie has arrived and it blows the first one out of the water. Director Francis Lawrence (no relation to Jennifer) has the pulse of the fandom. Gone are the handheld action sequences of the first film, the campy CGI crowds of Panem, the frustrating tendency to play it safe. Lawrence's sequel is just "more" and "better" in every way.

Blackbird Fly
There's a new Japanese camera hitting the market that I'm drooling over. It's called the blackbird fly-
It's a plastic twin lens reflex. It shoots square format photos (or standard format depending on which mask you use) and it takes 35mm film. The photos I've seen look like something in between a Holga and a Rolliflex. Amazing! It cost about $120, which I think makes it the cheapest twin lens reflex ever as well as the only one that shoots 35mm film. At least I think so. Don't quote me on that.
