President Eisenhower signed into Pub-

lic Law Act 915 on Aug. 2, 1956, declaringConstitution Week to be held annually inthe month of September. The aims of theweek long celebration are to 1) emphasizecitizens responsibilities for protecting anddefending the Constitution, preservingit for posterity; 2) inform the people thatthe Constitution is the basis for Americasgreat heritage and the foundation for ourway of life; and 3) encourage the study ofthe historical events that led to the framingof the Constitution in Sept. 1787.

Sandra Westgate of the WhisperingPines and Prairie National Society of DARNewaygo County conducted the presenta-tion to the Troop. Everyone participated inthe reading of the Preamble of the Consti-

tution and ringing of bells to celebrate theevent.

The grand parade started at 1pm and the girlshad a great time waving to community membersand visitors who were enjoying the days activities.They also rode in the Parade of Lights later that eve-ning when re trucks from Howard City and nearbytowns circled the village twice, once with ashinglights and the second time with ashing lights andhorns.

The day before the festival, Queen Sarah and hercourt judged the area businesses scarecrow con-test. Independent Bank had the winning entry witha crafty game of Monopoly.

Im a miracle. I should not be doing what Im doing,said math teacher Kim Thomsen. In January of this year shewas in a car accident that broke her neck. The doctors gaveher a 10 percent chance that she would ever walk again andsix months later told her the percentage dropped to two.

From the beginning I set out to prove them wrong, saidKim, who has been an inspiration to many with her positiveattitude. Last week she returned to her teaching position atthe middle school and is working everyday for half the day.Kim gets around in a motorized wheel chair, but throughintensive physical therapy she is beginning to walk.

Kim was in the hospital for 17 weeks after the accident.When she was discharged in May she began living at Mary

Free Bed where shes undergoing physical therapy. TracyOostema, her physical therapist since the accident, said,What has been particularly unique about Kim is the wayshe has handled herself in the difficult times. She has grievedthe accident and injury and there have been many tears, butshe has not allowed it to steal her joy for life. Throughout theprocess she has stayed focused on her goals, has continued tothink of others, and has used the accident and her experienceto encourage others.

Kims day begins at 4 a.m. After working three hours atthe school, she has physical therapy from 1 to 4 p.m. In theevening she grades papers and prepares for the next day.

Currently her older farm home is under construction to

make it accessible for her to get around in a wheelchair. Kimplans on moving back into her home in Stanton by November.Since last week Kim began driving using hand controls. Afterhours of training to make this possible, she has gained a littlemore independence.

Kim is a remarkable woman and it has been a privilege towork and walk along side her in this process. She has maderemarkable improvements and many times exceeded my ownexpectations and hopes for her, said Tracy.

Kim said shes grateful for the support of family and friends.She pinpointed her mother for around-the-clock care. Mymom has been there for me everyday since my accident, shesaid tearfully.

There are 10 exchange students at the high school thisyear. They will be introduced to you through the TC SchoolNews in the next few editions.

Mizuki Itakura is here from Japan.He is residing with Dean and CarlaBusse. Mizuki looks forward to learningour culture and says he wants to hunt,play football, and cook.He says there are a lot of differencesbetween America and Japan. Mizukishome is miles away from his school so

he lives in a dormitory with 50 otherboys within walking distance from hisschool. Mizuki said the students stay inone classroom while the teachers move

between subjects. In Japan, his school day begins at 9 a.m.and ends at 4 p.m. He plays basketball and looks forward toparticipating in American sports.

Lena Beuscher is from Germany. Shehas been staying with the Kranz familysince August. Lena said, Americanpeople are more open-hearted andfriendly. However, she has had a hard

time getting used to the food. The foodis more unhealthy here.Lena said she lives in the city where

everything is within walking distance.You dont need your parents to driveyou. You can take the bus, subway, orbike. Lena said there are no schoolbuses and they eat lunch, the biggest meal of the day, at homewith family.

Erik Einum is residing with Jorgeand Cindy Ballivian. He is from Norway.Erik said school is very different in his

country. We have one subject for onewhole day. It begins with a lecture (onthe subject) and then students receivean assignment this is due at the end ofthe day. In addition to that, every highschool student has their own laptopprovided by the school, said Erik.He said the subjects are math, foreignlanguage, Norwegian, social studies,

geography, and English.Erik said American food is greasy and little on taste. He

says hes glad he has a host mother whos a good cook, makingthe transition to American food easier.
