war stories. Every skater
has them. There was the
time she fell flat on her
face during a rehearsal
in the ice cream cone cos-
tume and couldn't get up
by herself.
There was the time her
hair became glued to the
inside of another cos-
tume. But now she can
skate the show in her
sleep — it's become sec-
ond nature.
Plus, she enjoys per-
forming with marquee
skaters such as Chris
Bowman, the two-time
U.S. men's national
champion, and Kathy
Turner, an Olympic
medalist in short track
speed skating.
Off the ice, she and her
chorus line colleagues
get excited by the little
things, a hotel room with
a kitchenette, close prox-
imity to the laundromat
and the grocery store. Of
course, a good mall
always adds to a city.
There is time for sight-
seeing, but most of the
stints in each city are
spent in rehearsal or
performing matinee and
evening shows. There are
also skaters who have
been in tours for 10
years or more. For Ms.
Tarnow, though, college
is in her short-term
plans.
Jewishly, Ms. Tarnow
was able to attend Yom
Kippur services while in
Duluth. It is difficult,
however, to get to temple
most other times because
of the schedule the
skaters must follow.
Money-wise, she said,
"it's OK, I've been able to
send money home. But
I'm not doing this for
money; I'm doing it for
the experience."
Not to mention, she
said, many lifelong
friendships she'll form
throughout her tour.
But there's something
else she'll be able to keep
forever. That is knowing
all of those days on the
Southfield ice — the fan-
tasy of a young skater's
imagination — came
true. 0

Envoy Says Syria
Jews Can Leave
New York (JTA) — Syria's
ambassador to the United
States has assured the Rev.
Jesse Jackson that Syrian
Jews remain free to leave
the country, despite reports
that no new travel visas
have been issued for the past
few months.
In a letter to Mr. Jackson,
Ambassador Walid al-
Moualem stated that "the
Syrian government's deci-
sion of April 1992 to allow
Syrian Jews to travel still
stands."
The Dec. 22 letter was sent
a day after Mr. Jackson met
\Arith the ambassador, in an
effort to reverse the ap-
parent halt in visas being
given to Syrian Jews.
Activists for the Syrian
Jewish community say that
no new visas have been
issued to Jews since October,
although those already
holding visas have been
allowed to travel abroad
unhindered.
Syria first began issuing
the visas in April, when the
government put aside a
decades-old policy of holding
its 4,000 Jews hostage. Since
then, 2,600 Jews have used
their visas, generally travel-
ing to Brooklyn's large
Syrian community.
Roughly 1,400 Jews re-
main in Syria, of whom 400
do not ntend to leave.
The ambassador's denial of
a change in policy is consis-
tent with statements made
to American and Israeli offi-
cials who had raised their
concern over the visa halt to
Syrian officials in Damascus
and in Washington.
Some observers say that
the Syrian refusal to ac-
knowledge any policy rever-
sal will make it easier for
them to change their policy
once again. They believe the
Syrians are holding up the
Jewish visas in an effort to
extract further diplomatic
gains from the incoming
Clinton administration.
Mr. Jackson's representa-
tion to the Syrians was made
at the behest of Isi Leibler.
