When the playground is opened,
will all persons be allowed to use it?
"Yes. It will be open to the commu-
nity — handicapped, non-handi-
capped and for all ages."

Joan Bussell, president of the West
Bloomfield Rotary Club for six
months, didn't waste much time in
finding a major project to help Rotary
International celebrate its 100th
anniversary.
She is the involved in the fund-raising
campaign to build a playground for the
Wing Lake Development Center, which
helps handicapped students up to 26
years old. A semi-retired dental hygien-
ist, Bussell, 66, of West Bloomfield,
became interested in Rotary through her
travels to various chapters with husband,
Joel, an assistant governor for the organi-
zation's District 6380. He encouraged
her to join, which she did four years ago.
She was elected last December.
Why did you pick the playground
as a project?
"I began my presidency six months
ago. Shortly afterwards, Rotary
International asked chapters to pick
a large, significant project for its
100th anniversary next spring. At
the same time, I read a story about a
What is your goal, and how much
have you raised?
"The goal is $250,000, and we
have raised half of that. The dead-
line is March 1, 2005."

couple who asked that their wedding
guests donate to the Wing Ling
Development Center to build a play-
ground in lieu of wedding gifts. I
called the center and asked why it
didn't have a playground.
"The playground will be called
`Boundless Playground' and will be
designed as a completely handi-
capped-accessible play area. It will
have a resilient-based material to
accommodate wheelchairs and walk-
ers while providing a 'more forgiv-
ing' surface in case a youngster
falls.
You have raised money through two
estate sales and solicited donations
from other Oakland County Rotary
Clubs. How can the public help
meet your goal?
"We would love to have donations.
They may be mailed to the Wing
Lake Development Center, 6490
Wing Lake Road, Bloomfield Hills,
MI 48301, attention: Cindy
Seguin." 17

New York/JTA — The U.S. Justice
Department's Nazi-hunting unit is
expanding its purview.
The Anti-Atrocity Alien
Deportation Act, passed Dec. 18,
allows the Office of Special
Investigations to track all war crimi-
nals as it long has tracked former
Nazis. The law was passed after Marko
Boskic, a Bosnian Croat accused of
participating in a 1995 massacre of
1,200 Muslim civilians, was found to
be living in a Boston suburb on a
refugee visa.
Since it was created in 1979, the
Office of Special Investigations has
won cases against 95 individuals who
assisted World War Thera persecution.

Dear
Barb -had
bariatric
surgery 2
years ago and
lost a total
of 140 lbs. I have regained some
weight. I understood my weight
loss would be permanent. I am
frustrated. Thanks, Anonymous.
nswer: Dear Anonymous,
Congratulations to you
J. A-- what a wonderful suc-
cess story! The typical bariatric
weight-loss guarantee is that you
will lose about one-half of your
pre-op body weight. It takes a
lot of effort and reinforcement to
accomplish that. Serious weight
loss is a lifetime commitment
and requires that you set
-r
and adhere to firm goals.
Mind, body, and soul all
have to work together to
keep your appetite under
control and weight
' 7 down. Proper exercise
and weight training
can play an important
role by increasing your
metabolism. If you
haven't, you should con-
sider nutritional counsel-
ing as a means of integrat-
ing all of these elements.
)
Some basic advice: stay away
from simple sugars, large por-
tions at a single sitting, and high
fat foods. Eat small and think
more in terms of sampling your
food. Learn about nutritional
deficiencies that can occur over
time. Again, you deserve genuine
praise for what you've accom-
plished. Don't wait – begin now.
