I the news that fits COMPILED BY STEVE STEIN Pass The Hollow Bread, Please nita Samuelson, a Jewish News reader who has oved north to Suttons Bay, spotted a humorous mistake in a recent edition of the Traverse City Record Eagle. A Record Eagle reporter did a story about Marifil's Bakery, a new business opening on 14th Street in Tra- verse City in the former Hickory Stitches embroi- dery and crafts store. In the following para- graph, the re- porter described a few of the items which will Hollow or challah? be available at the bakery: "Marifil's will offer a variety of European-style pastries, includ- ing tarts, tortes, napoleons and opera cakes, as well as specialty Am breads, such as focaccias, French baguettes, hollow loaf Jewish egg bread and other gourmet loaves." F Ms. Samuelson said she called the paper to point out the chal- lah faux pas "and suggest they have a Judaic source to avoid such things."

Mr. Turner, 47, earned $15,000 in U.S. funds for his vic- tory. Just after arriving in Fair- banks at 4:40 a.m., Mr. Turn- er phoned his parents in Victoria, B.C., to tell them "that I'm the first Jewish guy to win the race," says a report in the Canadian Jewish News. Mr. Turner made the gruel- ing trip in a record 10 days and 16 hours, beating the old mark set in 1991 by five hours. He was 50 minutes ahead of this year's runnerup. This was the 12th Yukon Quest, and Mr. Turner has entered each one. A social worker in White- horse, Mr. Turner raises and races dogs as a hobby. He has 38 dogs, mainly Siberian Alaskan Huskies. Mr. Turner began the Yukon Quest with 14 dogs and he finished with 12 af- ter two dropped out because of fatigue. While the prize money was nice, the race cost Mr. Turner an estimated $14,000 to $20,000. His expenses were off- set somewhat by Whitehorse sponsors. Mr. Turner's wife, Anne, a teacher at Whitehorse College, said there are a few Jewish fam- ilies in Whitehorse. They get to- gether for the High Holy Days and other holidays, but there is no synagogue. He's Donated Gallons And Gallons nly a few people in the history of Arizona have given more blood than uniform salesman Hy Fle- genheimer. Since moving to Phoenix from Long Island, N.Y., near- ly 30 years ago with his wife and three children, Mr. Flegenheimer has donated blood every eighth week except for a three-year lull be- cause of a serious back injury. United Blood Services of Ari- zona recently presented a plaque to Mr. Flegenheimer for being a 30-gallon blood donor. Mr. Flegen- heimer's donations are especially ap- preciated because he has the rare B- negative blood type. Only 2 percent of the population has that type. "I get a wonder- ful feeling every time I give blood," Mr. Flegenheimer told the Jewish News of Greater Phoenix. "Even though I don't know whom I'm helping, I'm helping someone who needs it more than I do. Donations to JNF can earn discounted flights on El Al planes. Some Gifts For The Givers T he Jewish National Fund (JNF) has launched what it calls a unique concept in charitable giving: The Frequent Funder Awards Program. Patterned after similar mar- keting concepts in the for-profit world, the JNF's version allows program participants to earn points toward discounted air travel, hotels, car rentals, restau- rants, long-distance telephone calls and other goods and ser- vices. Points are earned for dona- tions made to the JNF. Partici- pants will receive a newsletter which will include a statement of their accumulated points. Corporate partners in the pro- gram include El Al Israel Air- lines; American, United and Carnival airlines; Hyatt Hotels and Budget Rent A Car. "The gift of giving is a reward in itself, but now there really is a gift in giving," said Michelle Co- hen, creator of the campaign and a national fund-raising consul- tant to the JNF. The JNF is an organization devoted to global ecology and en- vironmental research as it per- tains to water, arid lands and the nation of Israel. Enrollment in the Frequent Funder Program is free.

The satellite is named for Joseph Gurwin of New York, who contributed $1 million to the Technion's Norman and Helen Asher Space Research Center. It's believed that Mr. Gurwin is the only living person for whom a satellite is named. The Israeli government says the Gurwin-1 has no military purposes. It is strictly for remote sensing, communications and sci- entific projects. The satellite is part of a grow- ing scientific bond between Israel and Russia. The Technion plans to be a partner in a 1996 Mars exploration mission.
