[Cz-L] RE: Czernowitz Jewish cemetery May 10, 2011

Shalom to all members of the group:

!) To Mimi more power (Yeshar Koah) on your efforts.
     Together with cousin Harriet Kasow we are planning a similar effort for
the two Jewish
     cemeteries in the shteitel of our forefathers about 15 km NE of
Czernowitz on the
     Czernowritz-Khotin road called today Klishkovtsy (Yiddish -
Klishkovitch).
     After discussing the problem of non-stop growth and sprouting of
vegetation with
     Scientists of the Israeli Agricultural Research Organization (ARO) they
told me there
     are solutions. Instead of polluting herbicides there are non-polluting
herbicides used
     for organic agriculture use.
     In order to decrease considerably the sprouting and vegetation after
clearing the cemetery
     area it is worthwhile to spread a black plastic sheet on the cleared
ground and on top of that
     to put little pebbles (or a less expensive alternative small wood
chips; I understand there are
    not too expensive small portable wood chip cutting machines available)
then you need only
    once (maybe twice) a year to spray the non- polluting herbicides to kill
the small sprouting
    of vegetation (and this at a very nominal price) that manage to sneak
out of the black plastic
    covering and through the small pebbles or wood chips.
2) Israel Independence Day celebrations, ended last night with the granting
of the traditional
"Israel Prize," awards. Among the recipients this year was actress Leah
Koenig, who was born
and grew up in Czernowitz. Mazal Tov Leah we are proud of you.

Dear All,

Having recently returned from Czernowitz, I would like to report on the
current progress of the restoration work at the cemetery.
Members of CJCRO, please excuse me for repeating what I already wrote you.

Currently, of the total area of the cemetery, which measures 11.6 hectares,
there remain less than 2 hectares, which still have not been cleared at all.
The plans of CJCRO are to have these cleared this spring.

Unfortunately, the cemetery administration sprayed with herbicides, only a
small part of the cleared areas. These sprayed areas are clear of all
perennial vegetation, which proves that the herbicides are effective.
In the areas cleared in 2009, which were not sprayed, new growth sprouted
from the roots and stumps of the cut trees. This new growth, while very tall
in certain areas, consists of thin branches of green wood, which are easily
cut.

Sasha Wolloch and I, met and had discussions with the acting mayor, the
city's director of public works, the cemetery administrator and of course
with Dr. Bursuk. In these talks and discussions we were given promises of
greater cooperation on the part of the city, meaning - timely spraying with
herbicides and the maintenance of clear paths.
With Dr. Bursuk we agreed on a timetable for work to be done.
 
We also met with representatives of SVIT Ukraine and ASF Germany, both of
which will this summer, again hold work-camps at the cemetery.

In the next few days, if Jerome agrees, I will post on the Ehpes website, a
schematic map of the cemetery, showing the currently cleared areas and
photographs illustrating the current conditions.

I urge all of you, who have as yet not joined CJCRO, please do so and tell
your Czernowitz relatives and acquaintances to do the same.

Mimi
