[Cz-L] Areas of cemetery cleared as of Aug 19, 2009

As promised, I would like to tell you which areas of the cemetery have been
cleared of weedy sapling trees and bushes and creepers.
I walked over all the accessible parts of the cemetery in order to gather
this information and I measured some areas with a measuring tape. Except for
additional areas which may have been cleared by the SVIT Ukraine volunteers
in the last few days, I believe this information to be accurate and up to
date.

The numbers by which each area is designated are taken from the official
cemetery map, put out by the cemetery administration. This map is posted on
the "ehpes" site.

The cleared areas are: 9, 10, 9A, 10A, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 53, 54, 55, 56,
59, 60, 75, 76, 81, 82, 98, 99, 104, 105 an 137.
The volunteers were working on areas 57 and 58.
Areas 38 and 96 are semi-clear.
The paths between adjacent cleared areas, are also cleared and so is the
long path running north-south along areas 33, 53, 60, 75, 82, 98 and 105,
as well as the two main paths; one north-south and one leading from the main
gate on Zelena street to the west side of the cemetery.

Most of the areas which have been cleared of sapling trees have been sprayed
with herbicides and those which had not been sprayed yet, I was promised by
Anzhela Nikolaeva, the cemetery administrator, would be sprayed as soon as
the volunteers would finish their work. In the cleared areas, large old
trees, which are diseased or threaten to break, have partially been cut down
and some will be cut as soon as they can get properly qualified people to do
the work. This summer some of the trees which were cut and burned where they
fell caused damage to gravestones. Both Dr. Bursuk and Mr. Lev Kleyman, the
former head of the Jewish community and a current city council member, will
make sure that these sort of incidents do not reoccur.

At this time I would like to ask, that if any of you plan on visiting
Chernivtsi in the near future, you take photographs of the northern part of
the cemetery, of which we currently have no photographs and also investigate
the exact northern boundaries of the cemetery.
