Community 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.

DIANA LIEBERMAN Ste- Writer/Copy Editor 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. The new camp director has a lifetime The Siegmann family is ready for camp. 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.
