Our Alzheimer's care begins with
what's been forgotten.
Each senior has a history that makes them a
unique individual. At Sunrise, our approach
to Alzheimer's care begins with understanding
the stories and details of a senior's life.
Knowing our residents better means
we can help them attain what we call
"pleasant days" by finding activities they
can enjoy and be successful at. We do
this in specially designed surroundings
that are both safe and nurturing, where
who they are is never forgotten.
Visit or call The Fountains at Franklin,
and choose the life that's right for you. In
Southfield, we offer Independent Living,
Assisted Living and Alzheimer's Care.
Can you find us? Southfield's road construction has made it a challenge to
find The Fountains at Franklin, but we're worth a search! Please join
us for a lively Scavenger Hunt event on July 27th. Call for details.

T
he Fresh Air Society and
Tamarack Camps are prepar-
ing to welcome as many of
the 214 Detroit Teen Mission partici-
pants who want to come to camp. The
camps' second session of the summer
starts next Tuesday, July 25.
Executive Director Jonah Geller said
Monday that Tamarack and the Jewish
Federation of Metropolitan Detroit are
in preliminary planning. "We're corn-
ing up with proposals for different age
groups, either as campers, counselors
in training or staff — depending on
age."
Roughly half the Teen Mission par-
ticipants have previous experience as
Tamarack campers or staff, Geller said.
Teens entering the ninth grade in
the fall would be eligible for camper
programs. Entering 10th graders
typically go to Camp Kennedy in
Michigan's Upper Peninsula or on
Tamarack's bus trip through the west-
ern United States. Geller said camp is
trying to come up with a program for
this age group at Camp Maas.
Teens entering 11th grade are eli-
gible for counselor-in-training posi-
tions and those entering 12th grade
could be counselors or staff. Geller
said Tamarack has positions open in
both programs.
"Our goal and intent is to have pro-
grams available for any of the Teen
Mission kids who want to participate
Geller said.
Meanwhile, Tamarack has been
implementing daily routines to alle-
viate the Middle East worries of 14
Israeli staffers working at camp this
summer. Camp is also hosting 40
Israeli Scouts this session and 40 13-
14-year-old Israelis next session.
Debbie Landau, Camp Maas direc-
tor, said the Israeli campers have not
been affected by the reports of fighting
along Israel's borders. "The campers
are having the time of their life she
said. "They don't seem to be affected."
The Israeli staffers, however, are
deeply concerned about their friends
and family in Israel and several are
Israel Defense Forces reservists,
Landau said. Tamarack is giving the
staff daily reports on the Middle East
events and making the camps' Internet
access and telephones available for the
staffers.
"We are trying to be as supportive
as possible," Landau said. She added
that the events and concerns seem to
be bringing together the Israelis and
Americans at camp.

The Charge:
In an opinion piece published
this month in the Washington
Post, Palestinian Prime Minister
Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas said
the Palestinian-Israeli con-
flict can only be resolved by
addressing the injustices done
to the Palestinian people in
1948.
The Answer:
Haniyeh's charge is a direct
attack on the legitimacy of
Israel, the Jewish state cre-
ated after the United Nations
voted in 1947 to partition the
Palestine Mandate into a Jewish
and an Arab state. The creation
of both was seen by the entire
world, except the Arabs, as a
just solution to the conflict.
The Arabs rejected the plan,
attacked the Jews, and the war
that ensued left them as state-
less refugees.
