Little Havana community
outraged at Elian scandal
By Martha Irvine
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Easter — one of the
holiest of days in Little Havana
and the rest of the Christian
world — found Marta Rodriguez
praying for a little boy she knows
only from a distance hut, like
many, calls by his first name.
“Pobre Elian," the 71-year-old
Cuban immigrant said after Mass
at St. John Bosco Church, where
Elian's great-uncle and cousins
have attended services.
“He should never have been
treated this way,” she said in a
grandmotherly tone. “My heart is
broken.”
So it was for many Miami
Cubans beginning life without
the 6-year-old boy reunited with
his father in Washington after a
swift and stunning pe-dawn Sat
urday raid by federal agents. For
the first time in five months,
Elian was gone from Miami. And
it was mostly quiet in Little Ha
vana for the first time in days.
At the home of the boy’s Mia
mi relatives, a place once so
overrun with journalists and pro
testers that it was dubbed Camp
Elian, bystanders dressed in their
Sunday best stopped briefly to
look.
There was a brief skirmish
Sunday afternoon when two
young women carried signs sup
porting Attorney Janet Reno’s or
der to raid.
“Not here! Not here!” the pro
testers yelled, trying to hit one of
the women and pulling her hair
as she was escorted away by se
curity guards. By evening, as
many as 200 people gathered to
sing, pray and leave red roses,
carnations and other flowers wo
ven in a chain-link fence sur
rounding the Gonzalez home.
During protests that lasted into
Sunday morning, police clad in
riot gear arrested more than 350
people and cleared away thou
sands more demonstrators from
Little Havana. Protesters set more
than 200 fires, burning mostly
tires and trash, but there were
few serious injuries.
At St. Michael the Archangel
Church, another Roman Catholic
church in Little Havana, parish
ioners held radios to their ears as
Spanish-language radio buzzed
with talk of a strike Tuesday. If
the idea catches on — there are
800,000 Cuban Americans in the
area — it could shut down much
of Miami.
Neighborhood residents have
photocopied and circulated an
Associated Press photograph of
an armed federal agent with his
hand extended to grab a crying
Elian. Some versions replaced
the faces of federal agents with
those of Attorney General Janet *
Reno, who gave the go-ahead for
the raid, and Cuban President Fi
del Castro. #
A poster-sized reproduction at
tached to the Gonzalez family’s
front door included this label:
“Federal Child Abuse.”
Humane society chief steps down
BEND — The man Gov. John
Kitzhaber called a leader in the
fight against animal abuse has re
signed as director of the Humane
Society of Central Oregon.
Kimball Lewis resigned on Sat
urday, two days after a majority of
his paid employees demanded
that the organization’s board of di
rectors terminate his employment.
“I have left because of what has
happened to my dog and for no
other reason,” Lewis said. “My
dog was everything I had. It’s just
too much for me right now — I
don’t have the heart for it any
more.”
Earlier this month, Lewis found
his 7-year-old German shepherd,
Donner, shot and hanging from a
tree in his front yard. The De
schutes County Sheriff's Office is
still investigating the slaying.
On Thursday, an attorney repre
senting eight humane society em
ployees directed a letter to the so
ciety’s board of directors alleging
financial irregularities and man
agement problems — including an
allegation of sexual harassment.
It called for Lewis’ immediate
dismissal and an independent au
dit of the shelter’s financial
records.
“We’ve taken this letter very se
riously,” said Byron Maas, presi
dent of the humane society’s
board of directors. “There was al
ready an ongoing investigation be
fore we got this letter.” At this
point, he added, the letter’s allega
tions are unsubstantiated.
Lewis denied the claims.
“The humane society is in bet
ter shape than it’s ever been. It’s
got a very competent group of
leaders,” he said. “The allegation
of sexual harassment will be
proven baseless.”
Humane society employees
said the letter came after several
attempts to make their concerns
known to the board of directors.
Animal shelter director Kathy
Harvey said the letter has “terrible
timing” because of the dog’s
death, but it had to be written be
cause the board was not respond
ing to their complaints.
The employees said Lewis res
ignation won’t affect their demand
for an investigation.
“We are still requesting that a
full, independent audit be done of
the books,” said Pat McGuinness,
who runs the society’s thrift shop.
And, they added, the humane
society’s mission will not be af
fected by the departure of Lewis,
who became director in June
1999.
“We have one of the highest
rates of returning pets to owners.
We have one of the lowest eu
thanasia rates in the country. And
we have had all that for the last
three years,” said operations man
ager Tonia Wolf.
Wolf emphasized that the alle
gations against Lewis and the
shelter’s mission of caring for ani
mals are separate issues.
“I don’t ever want to imply that
Kimball did anything that ad
versely affected the quality of the
care of the animals at the shelter,
because he didn’t. What he did af
fected the staff.”
