Joints are an integral part of keeping our bodies

in motion. But when a joint causes pain, everything

suffers...participating in sports, carrying in the

groceries, even simply walking. Sinai-Grace Hospital

Joint Replacement Center was designed to ease

suffering from joint pain and help get patients back

to a normal daily routine.

Joint replacement is an orthopaedic success story,

enabling hundreds of thousands of people to live

fuller, more active lives. Using metal alloys, high-grade

plastics and polymeric materials, our orthopaedic

surgical team can replace a painful, dysfunctional

joint with a highly functional, long-lasting prosthesis.

Over the past half-century, there have been many

advances in the design, construction and implantation

of artificial hip joints, resulting in a high percentage

Like Read, sophomore linebacker
Max Pollock plays on the demonstra-
tion team in practice, simulating the
defense used by the Wolverines' next
opponent. Pollock grew up in
Maryland but has Michigan ties. His
aunt and uncle, Ava and Joel
Slemrod, live in Ann Arbor, where
Joel is a U-M professor.
Pollock calls his football experience
"incredible. I couldn't ask for anything
better. A year ago at this time, I was
just a huge Michigan football fan, and
then I found out I could actually be a
part of the team."
He was also pleased to meet other
Jewish players. "We make jokes that
nobody else would really understand
When I came here, my mom said
I'm probably the only Jew going to be
on the team. She always used to say,
`Jewish boys don't play football.' But
then I found out there were other
Jews on the team and it's great."
Walled Lake Central has three
Jewish football players, including one
returning starter, junior inside line-
backer Lowell Schwalb. Senior
Clayton Moss will see action and may
start at defensive tackle after playing as
a reserve last year. Junior linebacker
Jacob Isley is playing his first varsity
season.
Senior David Litwin returns as
Beverly Hills Detroit Country Day's
placekicker. The third-year starter may
also see action at wide receiver or
defensive back. Eric Greenberg, a sen-
ior offensive tackle/defensive lineman,
is a returning letterman.
Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook head
football coach Gary Gerson will field
a young team this year, featuring a
wide-open offense and a new, 4-3
defense. His players include Ariel
Dubov, a junior wide receiver/defen-
sive end, David Vleznak, a junior cen-
ter/defensive tackle, plus sophomore
guard/defensive tackle Matt Rubin.
Kim Spaulding won Wayne State's
female Student-Athlete of the Year
award for 2003-04. The Farmington
Harrison grad played in a WSU
school-record 125 hockey games in
four years. An elementary education
major, Spaulding was named to the
Athletic Director's Honor Roll six
times. She served as the president of
the school's Student-Athlete Advisory
Committee last year and was honored
by the American Women's Hockey
Coaches Association as a National
Scholar Athlete.
