I stood up with a little more difficulty than the last time, but as soon as I was vertical, I started think- ing big. You see, this time I was out with Club Mad, and they demand improvement. They knew I could stand up; but could I cut through the wake? I thought of childhood dares, when I would leap from what seemed like huge heights, just to answer someone else's challenge. And then I thought of my parents, who regard any sports injury as an act of utter stupidity. I gave it a shot anyway. No dice. My legs refused to obey my brain. I stayed in the wake for a few more minutes. I got back into the boat, daunted and a little in- timidated.

That's it, I thought. Nobody insults my courage. Okay, nobody insults my courage to waterski. After the group had its first ski licks, I went out again, de- termined to ski through that wake. The key, I found out, is to face the direction you intend to go. And bend your knees. Doing both, I was sailing through the wake, which was bumpy, but ex- hilirating.

LOCAL NEWS 1""' Fall Forum For JCC Board The Jewish Community Center of Metropolitan Detroit will hold its Fall Forum Oct. 16 at Maple- Drake entitled "Outreach: A Commitment to the Com- munity."

Topics to be discussed include: "Teens," facilitated by Dr. Gary Faber, principal of West Bloomfield High School and Sandra Faber, counselor/supervisor at Bloomfield Hills Schools; "Singles," facilitated by Rab- bi Norman Roman of Temple Kol Ami; "Single Parent Families," facilitated by Allan Goodman, executive director of Jewish Family Service; and "Individuals with Special Needs," facilitated by Carol Kaczander, co-chairperson for Keshet.
