Statistics show that last year the average mid-westerner had approximately 165 good reasons to
own a Trotter exercise treadmill. One-hundred and sixty-five - that's how many days it either
rained; or snowed or there was other inclement weather which would have made running or
walking outdoors unpleasant or impossible.

In The Wheels Department,

t wasn't a fair game, but
no one seemed to care.
The Oakland County
Spinners, a wheelchair
basketball team, faced off
against staff from the Jew-
ish Community Center's
physical education depart-
ment in a benefit game this
past Saturday. While the
Spinners zipped and zoomed
across the Maple-Drake
gym, the JCC staffers
fumbled while getting used
to playing in wheelchairs.
It looked, at first, like a
complete mismatch. Candy
Bousquet, who heads the
department, opined that her
team should say a prayer.
She bowed out of playing,
however, saying, "My arms
are too short."
The JCC staffers did make
a run of it, with Tony Curtis
and Brian Clayton hitting
three pointers to keep close
with the Spinners, who
routinely hit short layups.
"I'm going on tour,"
Clayton said, after hitting
his second trey.
The game was a kickoff
event for the JCC's plans for
more programming for the
disabled and to make the
Maple-Drake building more
accessible for wheelchair
users. Funds from the game
were split evenly between
the two groups.

against competition from
across the state.
Bob Liston, one of the
Spinners, has played
wheelchair basketball for
about 10 years. Paralyzed in
a car accident 20 years ago,
Liston, 37, has taken to a
number of athletic activities,
including water skiing,
tennis, car racing and even
dancing.
"You've got to keep your
muscles moving," he said.
"It could be painting or sew-
ing, as long as it's something
that keeps your mind or your
body active."
There aren't dramatic dif-
ferences between wheelchair
basketball and the running-
and-jumping kind. Players
only occasionally dribble the
ball and traveling isn't il-
legal. The key, it seems, is to
check one's opponent by
smashing chairs with them.
That, at least, seemed to be

Curtis, who complained that

him roll down the court.
The final score, if it mat-
