Morocco, he came to Israel as
a child and grew up in
Maalot. Since his election in
1976, he has vowed to make
Maalot "the pearl of Galilee"
and he works indefatigably to
this end. The town boasts no
slums, no juvenile delinquen-
cy and virtually no crime.
Bulldozing his way through
bureaucracy, the charismatic
mayor has a knack for getting
things done.
With 75 percent of the
population under the age of
40, education has top priori-
ty. In the early years, 90 per-
cent of the kindergartens and
primary school teachers were
taxied in. There was no high
school and students had to
travel to Acre or Haifa. 'Ibday
there are five day-care
centers, 16 kindergartens,
three elementary schools and
three secondary schools, all
with local staff. The ORT
comprehensive school, an ar-
chitectural delight built in
1984, now has 600 students
and recently won an award as
the best of Israel's 120 ORT
schools.
Unemployment in Maalot is
less than 1 percent, a full 7
percent below the national
average. While many profes-
sionals commute to nearby
Nahariya, 20 kilometers to
the west, 40 percent of the
work force hold jobs in in-
dustry in Maalot itself and in
the adjacent Tefen Industrial
Park. Elsinct Electronics,
which set up a plant in 1978,
now employs over 200 people.
In 1981 Israel's first
electricity-generating wind
turbine was set up to provide
power for the Iscar factory,
which manufactures machine
tools and turbine blades.
Other factories include Gal
Plastics, Gibor textiles and
Thermophil, which produces
electric cables and
conductors.
Mickey Nir believes that
Maalot's future lies in the
development of tourism. He is
in charge of a project to dam
the Pek'in stream, in order to
produce a 12 acre artificial
lake. The walls of his office
are covered with maps and
scale drawings. Brimming
with enthusiasm about the
project, he says, "I predict
that Maalot will become
Galilee's major center of
tourism." He outlines plans
for hotels, a motel, a marina,
restaurants, a spa for alter-
native medicine and an ar-
tist's village."
Everywhere bulldozers are
clearing land and the bang-
ing and clattering of building
ring through the hills. Of the
housing projects, "Build-your-
own-home" is the most in-
novative. Each family
receives 600 square meters of
