WHY HAVEN'T YOU
HEARD OF
IOSAT'
IT BLOCKS THE THYROID'S
ABSORPTION OF CANCER-CAUSING
RADIOACTIVE IODINE RELEASED
FROM A NUCLEAR REACTOR
OR "DIRTY BOMB"
In today's chaotic race to prepare our families for the possibility of
war and terrorist attacks, why not keep a supply of IOSAT - on hand.
IOSAT- is the only FDA approved radiation protective, thyroid
blocking, product sold to the general public.
IOSAT- (Potassium Iodide) is manufactured in the United States
under strict FDA "GMP guidelines". These FDA approved tablets
contain potassium iodide (KI) which provides virtually complete
protection from radioactive iodine (RAI), the contaminant that
causes thyroid cancer.
108AT- has been distributed to 35 States with nuclear power
facilities, but has only been provided to people who reside within
10 miles of a nuclear plant. People outside the 10-mile radius will
have to acquire their own personal supply.
You may ask yourself, why would I need IOSAT -, I live miles from
a nuclear plant. Studies have shown that radioactive iodine
released from the 1986 Chernobyl accident spread throughout
Europe for hundreds of miles. Thyroid cancer was the only
prominent health problem to effect the general population.
Although the accident released many types of radioactive iso-
topes, all of the injuries (to people located more than a few miles
from the reactor) were limited to just the effects of radioactive
iodine. In other words, the use of IOSAT - can safeguard people
from most of the danger of a nuclear accident.
For your information, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has
reported that the vast majority of the cancers that were reported
within five years of the Chernobyl accident were diagnosed
among those living more than 31 miles from the accident site.

A Family Affair
Grand Resort begins its fourth season
with new young leadership.

F
amily camp will be run by a
real live family this year. Lisa
Soble Siegmann, her hus-
band, Tal, their children Adi,
2, and Maya, nine months, and their
dog, Luki, a 65-pound Weimaraner, will
take up residence at the Grand Resort at
Mullett Lake in early June. Together
they'll oversee the fourth summer for the
18-acre waterfront camp located 30 miles
from Charlevoix and Mackinac Island.
Lisa Soble Siegmann will add direc-
torship of the camp to her responsibil-
ities as director of Jewish Experiences
for Families, where she's run programs
for Detroit-area families since July
1999. She takes over camp leadership
from Missy Siegler, who was recently
named director of the senior side of
Tamarack Camps in Ortonville.
"She was an awesome director the
past two summers," Soble Siegmann
said. "She is such a gift to camp and
the people she touches, they felt they
needed her at Tamarack."
Soble Siegmann's husband, Tal
Siegmann, a master woodworker born
in Israel, will be Grand Resort's assis-
tant director.
Both Grand Resort and Tamarack
Camps are operated by the Fresh Air
Society.
- The two children will provide a
heimish (warm) atmosphere. And, as
for Luki, Lisa Soble Siegmann promis-
es that "he's extremely family-friendly."
Grand Resort, which opened in July
2000, was a gift to the Jewish commu-
nity from Stephen and Nancy Grand
of Bloomfield Hills. The resort is held
by the United Jewish Foundation of
Metropolitan Detroit and operated by
the Fresh Air Society under a family-
camping endowment by Michael and
Donna Maddin of West Bloomfield.
The camp provides all the tradi-
tional summertime activities —
including swimming, boating, arts
and crafts, nature hikes — plus an all-
encompassing Jewish flavor.
Sessions run Monday through
Sunday — to make sure family mem-
bers can experience Shabbat and
Havdalah together.

of Jewish camping experience begin-
ning at Camp Wise in Chardon, Ohio,
run by the Jewish Community Center
of Cleveland, where she spent every
Summer as a child. As an adult, she was
director of the JCC day camp in
Columbus, Ohio, for three years and
led JCC-sponsored teen tours of the
East Coast. She also spent two sum-
mers as a madrichah (leader) for Let's
Go Israel, a six-week teen tour of Israel.
Soble Siegmann has spent some
time at the Grand Resort running
JEFF's single Jewish parents program
and is looking forward to an entire
summer there. She sees the camp as a
natural extension of the job she does
all year — making Jewish family pro-
gramming an integral part of syna-
gogues, schools and agencies in metro-
politan Detroit.
'An underlying theme this summer
will be 'Jewish Every Day,'" she says.
"There are moments each day that are
inherently Jewish — thinking about
God, saying the Shema at bedtime."
Added to these will be projects such as
Hebrew on the beach, a Hebrew table at
lunch, Jewish stories at bedtime, Hebrew
songs and Jewish-themed crafts in
ceramics and woodworking shop. Lisa is
an accomplished folksinger — she and
her guitar will provide the music for this
year's Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit Women's Seder — and Tal, who
owns a custom woodworking studio, has
been accumulating child-friendly crafts.
"For the kids, if you do the theme for
the day, you get a bead," Lisa Soble
Siegmann explains. Beads are exchanged
for prizes at the end of the week.
