ABBY BICE
City: Bloomfield Hills
Kudos: Detroit's Largest
Greek Salad
After a scary hospital experience in sec-
ond grade, Abby Bice, now a seventh-
grader, is helping other children at
Detroit's Children's Hospital of
Michigan have an easier time when it
comes to stinging needles. Abby, 12, a
student at Birmingham Covington
School learned firsthand how comfort-
ing it is to hold a stuffed animal while
getting a shot. So she and her family
are teaming- up with the Leo's Coney
Island chain to host Detroit's Largest
Greek Salad, noon-3 p.772. Sunday,

the IV team, he said he'd provide the

more people will come for lunch on
Sunday. We've also got support from

"We're not allowed to give the dolls

Columnist Harry Kirsbaum writes
about the rapid decline of Arafat
and the opportunity it affords the
Middle East.
Calcium requirements
// have now increased
/ for children, preteens,
pregnancy, menopause,
unhealthy eaters and the
aging population.
Things to keep in mind:
• Eat foods rich in calcium
(lowfat, fortunately, doesn't
mean low calcium).
• Consider lactose-free dairy
products (includes soy) fortified
with 100-300 mg of calcium.
• Calcium promotes bone
strengthening, blood clotting,
heart rhythm, nerve and cell
functioning, and more.
