| Clean flush needed in Hopedale Town Hall
HOPEDALE - The Board of Health is giving the town until Feb. 22 to submit a plan for renovating the bottom-floor bathrooms in Town Hall, or else it may shut them down, Health Inspector Leonard Izzo said. Town Coordinator Eugene Phillips said he is working on plans that should be ready in about a week. The repair of those bathrooms was originally going to be part of the plan for the overall renovation of Town Hall. But a letter of complaint from a customer at the Town Common restaurant, which is inside the Town Hall building, spurred the Board of Health to immediate action, Izzo said. The bathrooms do not meet health code, he said. "The bathrooms are in deplorable condition," he said. "It's awful." In a letter to Alan Ryan, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Izzo listed health violations in the bathrooms and called for plans to fix them.

CAIR's Ayloush: Poison Discourse Dispelled
Hussam Ayloush [1], the director of the California branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) [2] is fond of comparing Israelis to Nazis and Israel to Nazi Germany. For example, he appeared on a TV talk show [3] during the Hezb'allah-Israel war of 2006 and compared Israel's acts of self-defense following Hezb'allah's attack to Nazi atrocities during World War II. He did not criticize Hezb'allah at all for bombing Israeli territory, killing three Israeli soldiers and capturing two others, even though it was an entirely unprovoked attack. Nor did Ayloush have a word of criticism for the rockets that Hezb'allah rained down indiscriminately on Israeli communities, killing 43 Israeli civilians, some of them Arabs. But Israel's military response to the attack on its territory and citizens he considered Nazi-like.
