The racquet sport is helping many new Israelis feel better about things there today, she told some 200 Detroiters recently. The occasion was the an- nual Israel Tennis Centers ex- hibition, held at the Bingham p Cockroaches • Ants • Fleas • Bees • Hornets • Wasps • Rats • Mice and any other pests. Eradicate With Eradico readily gained the acceptance —indeed the admiration — of most of his classmates when he enrolled in a regular school. So, for that matter, did 11-year-old Renat Baruch, a wheelchair- confined victim of cerebral palsy. A member of the cen- ter from the age of 3, she has learned to swim, take part in gymnastics and play table tennis — even winning me- dallions in some fields. These achievements give her sufficient self-confidence to remain unflustered when, as occasionally still hap- pens, another child makes fun of her handicaps. Also helpful is the fact that she is very bright (tests indicate an I.Q. of 140), and so her classmates often come to her for help with their lessons. Among the handicapped youngsters at the sports center are a sizable number of Arabs. The outstanding one so far was Shaban Shatkufi, a member of the center for 12 years until his recent death. Shaban was a starter on the Israeli national basketball- team that won first place in the 1980 Olympics for the Handicapped that took place in Holland. All the young people at the center enjoy being in its pool and on its playing fields, but some, like 17- year-old Dudi Viech, are es- pecially attracted by a more cerebral sport — chess. Dudi learned how to play the game at the center when he was 10 and now, already a professional, he teaches the game to other members. The center operates on an incredibly low budget, this year totaling about $750,000. This is only possi- ble because hundreds of vol- unteers, most of them high school students, serve as assistant coaches and help Special to The Jewish News Eradico's safe and proven methods keep your home free of insects, rodents and other pests.

There are also older volun- teers, among them Micha Shuldiger, 36, an ex-soldier wounded first in the Yom Kippur War and later in Lebanon. Shuldiger works out at nearby Beit Halochem, a far more luxurious -sports center established exclusively for wounded veterans. Howev- er, he enjoys giving a help- ing hand to the civilians, who, he argues, have a more difficult time than the vet- erans "because society is less appreciative of their problems." A par - ticularly active vol- unteer is center alumnus Sharon Huderland, a 38- year-old attorney who was stricken with polio at the age of 2 and still cannot walk without the aid of crut- ches. Huderland was for a time the only woman on a prize- winning wheelchair basket- ball team that was sent to participate in overseas corn- petitions some years ago. Now, too old for basketball, she concentrates on tennis. When Huderland isn't volunteering at the center, where she deals with public relations, she might be found at her law firm, where she is a partner, or at home with her husband, an econ- omist, and two daughters. There are, of course, pro- grams for the handicapped in many parts of the world, but, said Huderland, the center is apparently one of a kind. "Where my own life is concerned, the center taught me that I can do anything anyone else can do," Huderland added. "Maybe it will be harder for me or take a little longer, but in the end I will do it." ❑ Israel Tennis Center Support Thriving Here DON'T LET HOUSEHOLD PESTS HOLD YOU HOSTAGE!
