Deaths for the week of Jan. 10, 2020 - The Jewish News of Northern California

New York to study to become a Cantor. Five years later, after graduation, he spent two years as Cantor in South Bend, Indiana. Then the family moved to Palo Alto, California, where he served as Cantor at Congregation Beth Jacob in Redwood City with Rabbi Teitelbaum for over three decades. He earned a master’s degree from Stanford and an honorary doctorate from Hebrew Union College. In the ’90s, he was diagnosed with throat cancer, but after two successful surgeries, he was able to live cancer-free for many years. Sadly, his voice was greatly impacted, and he was no longer able to eat normally. Yet, in retirement, he led services for Jewish holidays on cruises. He lost Eva to lung cancer shortly after their 50th anniversary. As part of his healing process, he published his autobiography, “Risen from the Ashes, Tales of a Musical Messenger,” which aptly describes his great courage and indomitable will to survive. He married Nina, who has been by his side for 20 years. In all his years, Judaism, service to others and education have been his guiding values. Hans is preceded in death by his parents, Max and Ida Cohn, and his wife, Eva Cohn. He is survived by his second wife, Nina, and his daughters Becki Cohn-Vargas (Rito Vargas), Ruth Cohn (Michael Lewin) and Barbara Liepman (Michael Liepman), and six grandchildren. Donations can be sent in his memory to the Hans Cohn Music Fund and CBJ Cares Committee by going to the Congregation Beth Jacob website donation page at bethjacobrwc.org/donate.

Rare plants float on Chamberlain Lake

I am hiking with two ecologists to Chamberlain Lake, just west of South Bend, that an authoritative book on Chicago-area plants in 1994 had called “unique to the planet.”More than 120 plant species grow in this Crumstown wetland. By August each year, they form a thick, tangled carpet over the top of the water. Several are actually native of states like the Carolinas and Louisiana, but they aren’t invasive. They’ve rooted themselves here because of the shallow water and mud flats so similar to coastal plains on the Eastern Seaboard.The Nature Conservancy sought to protect these almost 83 acres on the western half of the lake in the late 1990s, acquiring it, then donating it to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources as a nature preserve.To reach the waters, we hike through a forest with its own tale. In 2001, a fierce tornado raked its tallest trees to the ground — among them, a roughly 200-year-old mammoth — leaving gaping holes and sunlight.Watch againVideo: Rare life floats at Chamberlain Lake“It broke out almost every canopy tree,” says ecolog...

Greenhouse donates flowers after vandals hit Mishawaka park

Battell Park's rock garden, a greenhouse stepped up to fight destruction with an act of kindness.Jean Martin-Neblung, owner of Martin's Greenhouse in South Bend, took action to replace the destroyed plants by donating flowers Friday to the Mishawaka Parks & Recreation Department.Volunteers can help the department plant 11 flats of donated begonia flowers from 9 to 11 a.m. Monday at the park."When I learned someone destroyed the flowers, it rubbed me the wrong way and I said, 'We have to donate these plants.' There was no hesitation on our part because it was the right thing to do," said Martin-Neblung, who owns the greenhouse with her husband, Alan.More than 250 annual flowers were recently removed and trampled by vandals, and Mishawaka police are still looking for who did it. The flowers were planted by a class from Beiger Elementary School.Although about 250 plants were removed, the greenhouse donated more than 480."That way you can put them closer together, and it will look fuller right away," said Martin-Neblung, who has been "overwhelmed" by the people who have thanked her on Facebook for donating the flowers.She learned that planting flowers at the park is a long-standing tradition among students at...

Two-hour window, alleged sex & cell records key in Day 1 of Del Real trial

Explain to me how your phone is down by Plymouth," said a detective. Cruz replied: "I can't explain that to you. All the people I know are in South Bend." 'The best sex ever' In opening statements, Deputy Prosecutor Chris Fronk said Cruz told police he and Del Real "agreed to have sex" the night she disappeared. Fronk referred to it as "hook up sex" and that the defendant called it "the best sex ever." But the story took a turn when Cruz told police Del Real allegedly threatened to blackmail Cruz, if he didn't give her between $5,000-$10,000. If he didn't give it to her, according to Fronk, Del Real allegedly threatened to tell Cruz's then-girlfriend. "She [Del Real] wouldn't let me leave," Cruz told police. "I did it but I did it to protect myself." That testimony contradicted how several witnesses remembered Cruz and Del Real's relationship. Even on the night she disappeared, one called the relationship between them "platonic." Deja Browning, a friend of Del Real's recalled a conversation the two had at Rumba's the night she disappeared about Cruz's feelings for Del Real. "She just wanted to be friends," said Browning, after Del Real told her Cruz was pushing for more than friendship. "I told her to tell him how you feel." Another witness, Edgar Medina, who was with Browning, Cruz, and Del Real at Brother's Bar and Studio Rumba's told police he was surprised to see Cruz with Del Real the night she went missing. "I believe she liked me," he told the court. He told the court he and Del Real kissed at Rumba's before he went home alone. He also sent flowers to Del Real at Wells Fargo where she worked on Monday, the day after she disappeared. Another longtime-friend, Crystal Rangel, told police that Del Real and Cruz were inseparable in the week or two leading up to her disappearance. "Every time I saw her he was there," said Rangel. "And then when she was missing, he wasn't there." In the video interrogation, Cruz said Del Real tried to FaceTime him around 3:44 a.m., after he said he dropped her off at home. But he told differing stories to police about the call, and whether he declined it and where he was when he allegedly did that. Detective Gobel said after exhausting phone records, Facebook, social media sites, surveillance video from Brother's, and speaking with "anyone and everyone" who had been in contact with her two weeks up to her disappearance, the search kept leading back to Cruz because he was the last one with her. The defense waived its right to opening statements and did not cross-examine several witnesses, included Gobel, who interrogated Cruz. The state is expected to call at least 5-6 witnesses on Wednesday and possibly rest its case. Judge John Marnocha told the jury panel of 14 that he expects to wrap the trial by Thursday. (WSBT-TV)

Ted Cruz presses the flesh at Bravo Cafe in Osceola in day before Indiana presidential primary

United States. Cruz might have recognized Scotty Robertson, who has seen Cruz four times in the past week. He was at Lucchese’s and the rally in South Bend Thursday followed by another Cruz rally in La Porte Sunday night. This time, he brought his wife, Jami and their 1- year-old daughter, Karlee. Patterson considers himself a constitutional conservative and is strongly anti-abortion. He said he feels as if he’s watching history unfold. But why make the effort to see him four times? “Senator Cruz needs to know that he has the support of Hoosiers,” Patterson replied. Is he worried about Trump winning the nomination? “I’m worried about Trump because if he’s the Republican nominee, I won’t have anyone I can vote for,” he said John Beck, a truck driver from South Bend, brought along a book by talk show Mark Levin for Cruz to sign and ended up talking with Cruz for several minutes and posed for a photo with him. He said he’s more of a Cruz supporter than just anti-Trump. He is concerned, though, about how the election will turn out. “The more I learn about (Trump), I’m not so quite sure that I could count on him to do what we hope he’ll do,” Beck said. Abbie Albaugh, of Elkhart, sat at a table with three people she had never met. She said she worries that a Trump nomination would turn off a lot of conservatives. “I have a lot of reservations,” said. Another woman, Brenda Miller, of Bremen, also expressed concerns with Trump, but said she would still vote for him in the general election if it comes to that. “I would have to. I don’t want Hillary or Bernie,” Miller said. Pantelis Ftergiotis, a 17-year-old student at Penn High School, joined five other family members at at a table at the cafe. “He’s a very strict conservative and I truly like that,” Ftergiotis said. As soon as Cruz headed outside, the capacity crowd dispersed, leaving many tables to be cleaned up and a sense of satisfaction for the restaurant owners. “It was great for business, but our customers more than anything were happier to have them in the community,” said John Limberopoulos, who co-owns the family restaurant with his brother, George. He said he was contacted by the Cruz campaign staff Saturday night. “This was an opportunity for us to do something for our customers,” he said. “We were offered the opportunity and we had to jump on it.” ...
