Israel Kills
Hamas Leader
Tel Aviv/JTA — Israel killed a Hamas
military commander in Hebron.
Jamil Jadallah was killed in the West
Bank city Wednesday by an Israeli
missile attack. Jadallah is believed to
have been involved in the June 1
bombing outside a Tel Aviv disco and
several other attacks. He was planning
another suicide attack, the Israeli army
said. Israeli forces also killed another
Hamas militant in the West Bank city
of Tulkarm.
Raid Nets

Tel Aviv/JTA — Israel raided a West
Bank village in a search for militants.
Israel said it arrested six people,
including two suspected terrorists,
during an operation in Arrabe on
Wednesday. One Israeli soldier was
reportedly injured in gunfire with
Palestinians before Israeli troops left
the village.
In 2002, Tamarack Camps will cel-
ebrate its 1006 anniversary. In prepa-
ration, the Fresh Air Society has pub-
lished A Timeless Treasure: 100 Years of
Fresh Air Society Camp, a 250-page,
hardcover book written by Wendy Rose
Bice. It is being released November 11th
at this year's Jewish Book Fair and will
be available through the Fresh Air soci-
ety office and Borders bookstores locally.
The following is an excerpt:
Since the dawn of Fresh Air Camp, slow-
moving, flat-bottomed rowboats have been
a daily part of camp life. Canoes, on the
other hand, slid into camp, but not with-
out a struggle. In 1940, camp director,
Irwin Shaw, decided to introduce canoes
to camp. The Fresh Air Society Board,
largely comprised of overly maternal and
matriarchal women, protested, saying the
venture was too risky, too dangerous. Non-
sense, insisted Shaw and fellow board
member, Harry Jacobson, who had dubbed
themselves official "canoeing chairper-
sons." The two men argued persuasively
and finally convinced the Board to give the
sport a trial.
With canoes (most of which
were obtained by Jacobson) in
the water, Shaw decided to prove
the merits of the sport to the
Board. So, with the able-bodied
help of some senior campers, he
staged a little demonstration.

the notion of canoeing). We had already
gotten the canoes, so I invited them to
come out to the waterfront and we cre-
ated a little piece of dramatics," remem-
bered Shaw. "We got a couple of camp-
ers to get into a canoe and then they
tipped the canoe over. The women
screamed, 'get them, get them!' I sat
there with my arms folded and didn't
move." Sixty years later, Shaw sat once
again with his arms folded and laughed
at the memory. "They were screaming
to get them out of the water. I said,
`Nah, I'm not going to get them.'" The
kids continued to play as if they were
about to drown. Finally they righted
the canoe and everyone, well almost ev-
eryone, enjoyed a good laugh. Canoe-
ing thus became a permanent part of
camp life.

Sharon Supports
West Bank Troops
Tel Aviv/JTA — Israeli Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon defended Israeli incur-
sions into the West Bank in a phone
call with Colin Powell.
Sharon told the U.S. secretary of
state Wednesday that Israeli troops will
not leave four Palestinian cities until
Palestinians comply with agreements
to halt violence, according to the
Prime Minister's Office. Israel entered
six West Bank cities following the Oct.
17 assassination of Tourism Minister
Rehavam Ze'evi, prompting U.S. criti-
cism, and left two of the municipali-
ties over the weekend. Sharon said he
may see Powell in a couple of weeks,
and that he will make a final decision
about visiting Washington in a few
days, based on the Israeli security situ-
ation.
