etroit swimmers returned from
the JCC Maccabi Games &
ArtsFest in Stamford, Conn.,
with quite a pool haul.

the 200 freestyle relay, 50 backstroke and
100 backstroke and silver medals in the
50 breaststroke, 400 freestyle relay, 400
medley relay, 200 medley relay and 100
breaststroke.
• Aaron Zelmanov won a gold medal
in the 200 medley relay, a silver medal in
the 400 medley relay and bronze medals
in the 200 freestyle relay and 400 free-
style relay.
• Michael Umansky won a silver
medal in the 200 medley relay and
bronze medals in the 400 medley relay,
200 freestyle relay and 200 breaststroke.
Schmall is a two-year Maccabi Games
athlete. This was Zelmanov’s fourth year
competing at the Maccabi Games and
Umansky is a three-year Maccabi Games
competitor.
MEDAL FOR KEEPING COOL
Detroit dancer Melanie Taylor received a
Midot medal at the JCC Maccabi Games
in St. Louis for showing grace and kind-
ness in a difficult situation.
What happened? It had nothing to do
with dancing and everything to do with
maturity and quickly defusing a poten-
tially heated discussion.
Detroit dance coach Linda Taylor
(Melanie’s mother) said a Maccabi
Games volunteer snapped at Melanie
during a dinner in a case of mistaken
identity regarding garbage being placed
in the wrong container.
The volunteer was so impressed with
Melanie’s level-headed response that she
worked hard to find out her name and
recommend her for the medal.
This was the fourth and final Maccabi
Games for Melanie, 16, who will be a
junior this fall at Birmingham Seaholm
High School.

‘MY DAD IS PROUD OF ME’
Adam Fox has been going to Temple
Shir Shalom games in the Inter-
Congregational Men’s Club Softball
League since he was 5. For many years,
he was the team’s bat boy.
Now 21, he’s played for Shir Shalom
for four years and is carrying on the
good name of his father, Jeff Fox, a
beloved former Shir Shalom player who
died in 2011.
The league’s annual Jeff Fox
Sportsmanship Award is a coveted
honor. Each team selects a nominee and
the winner is chosen at random because
each nominee is worthy of the award.
Adam was the nominee for Shir
Shalom No. 1 this season. He won the
award.
“It’s difficult to put into words what it
means to win the award,” he said. “The
fact I won the award named after my dad
is surreal. It’s truly an honor, and I know
my dad is proud of me.”
FREE BOWLING NIGHT
Bowling season is right around the
corner, and the B’nai B’rith Downtown
Fox-MLZG League is getting everything

More than 20 teams will compete in
the league this season, but there’s room

Tuesday, Sept. 13, and continue weekly
on Tuesday nights at Drakeshire Lanes
