place. This is as close to real-
world, professional experience as
these high school students may get
before taking on the challenges
they face when leaving school.
Working at The Park 88.1 provides
them with a level confidence, an
understanding of responsibility
and a professional edge.
The station is self-funded,
which means the students sponsor
events like this, the sixth annual
record andmusic show, in an effort
to generate operating funds. In
May, the students will host their
annual auction, where guests from
the community will appear on-air
and donated items will be up for
bid on the radio, all to raise funds
to pay the operating expenses for
the station.
Those who may have something
to donate for the students to auc-
tion in May can contact Station
Manager Bill Keith at (734) 416-
7732 tomake arrangements to help
keep this valuable and unique
community asset operating.
The multiple and continued
honors afforded the station itself,
the individual students who work
at the station and the program-
ming are a clear indication of the
success of the station and the edu-
cational value it offers.
We'd just like to congratulate
thema little early this year as their
anniversary of service and broad-
casting in the community
approaches and remind everyone
of the terrific job the station, as
part of the Plymouth-Canton
school district, does.
And if anyone can help them
out with a donated item or service,
that wouldbe good, too.
ski downhill at 90 mph? Or how
about the ones who take to those
high, high hills and come flying
down spinning themselves 30 feet
into the air while twisting and turn-
ing and clinging to a tiny little
snowboard?
You really think what these peo-
ple do is humanly possible?
Really?
Nope. They have to be super-
heroes to have that degree of physi-
cal control and mental stamina. I
don't know anyone who could ever
dedicate the hundreds of thou-
sands of hours of practice and
physical work these creatures give
to their chosen events. Not to men-
tion the disregard they obviously
have for injury. Broken bones,
smashed tendons, pulled muscles,
ripped ACLs---that's nothing but a
minor training interruption for
these athletes. They just go back
and go back and go back. If they fall
down, they just pop back up with a
smile and keep going with their
routine----unless, of course, med-
ical professionals have to be called
for a serious injury or all-too-fre-
quent surgery.
Really, these people are so far
superior to the rest of us schmucks,
especially me who couldn't get
down a bunny slope, stand up on a
snowboard or make it around an
ice rink if pushed sitting in a chair,
much less dance a quickstep. They
are, I guess, living proof that just
about anything is possible with
enough work, enough dedication
and enough practice. Let's not for-
get self discipline, mental tough-
ness and a psychological makeup
that would be the envy of ole
Freud.
These people are the very pin-
nacle of physical achievement in
their various disciplines. Truly,
they are. What they have accom-
plished, what they can do, what
they are willing to do should be an
inspiration to all of us. Simply
watching their skill in any one of
these competitions is awe inspiring
and the back stories of what it took
to get them where they are heart-
warming and sob-inducing. If these
people don't strike a chord of
human spirit in you, well, you prob-
ably need defibrillated or
embalmed.
In other countries, these
Olympians are treated the way we
idolize rock stars or professional
team athletes. In America, we
would rather idolize some guy with
gold teeth who can rapidly spout
rhyming obscenities while clutch-
ing his crotch rather than Olympic
athletes who have demonstrated a
level of skill, work ethic and
human spirit we should all aspire
to emulate to any degree possible
in our lives.
Yep, I admit it, I've got Olympic
fever.
