Art Scholarships For Planet Lori Camp At BBAC The Planet Lori Art Camp is designed for children who had or have a parent or close relative with cancer. Art is often used to help children communicate, over- come stress and heal from tragedy. The camp honors the memory of Lori Haber Buckfire, a Detroiter who died in July 2010 at age 41. She was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer in May 2005, just eight weeks after giving birth to her son Hayden. Lori, who earned her bach- elor's degree in art from Arizona State University, loved children and cherished her many afternoons doing art projects with Hayden. Planet Lori Art Camp, run by the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center (BBAC), is held daily from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Aug. 24-28. The Lori Haber Buckfire Foundation is providing full paid scholar- ships to children (ages 5-15) to attend the camp. Eligible application will be accepted on a first-come basis, and space is limited.

Phipps Corporate Creative Director Deborah Schultz dschultz@renmedia.us FULFILLMENT ome of us may not want to admit it, but growing-up in Detroit in the 1950s and 1960s, we watched professional wrestling every Saturday. There were two main shows on Detroit TV: Motor City Wrestling on WXYZ-TV and Big Time Wrestling on CKLW-TV from Windsor, Ontario. But, did you know that the man most responsible for putting on shows in Michigan with such famed wrestlers as Dick the Bruiser, Bobo Brazil, The Sheik and Leaping Larry Shane was Jewish? Bert Ruby was a star soccer player as a youth, who had a 20-year career as a professional wrestler. Born Bertalan Rubinstein in Columbus, Ohio, in 1910, he moved to Detroit in the 1930s and became a wrestler. Ruby retired from the ring in 1954 and became the premier pro- moter of wrestling shows in Michigan. His Motor City Wrestling show aired for nearly two decades in the 1950s and 1960s.
