In The News: City Council debates income tax, asks residents how they would like to see the city diversify its revenue At the Aug. 18, Marshall City Council meeting, the council and community delved into the pros and cons of the city income tax feasibility analysis. John Kaczor of Municipal Analytics shared the findings of the study with the council and more than 30 residents. “This is a question of the city of Marshall the City Council and the residents – is this something for you?” Kaczor said. “I’m not saying it’s the right thing or best thing, but another option to consider.” The council plans to hold numerous public work sessions on the topic.

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge reaches Marshall Fire Department

Tony Hutchins Principal Albion Opportunity School

More than a million people nationwide have jumped on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge bandwagon to raise money and awareness for the disease better known as Lou Gherig’s Disease. Last week, the Battle Creek Fire Department joined in on Aug. 16 and then challenged the Marshall Fire Department to do the same within 24 hours. Marshall Fire not only accepted the challenge, but did it publicly during halftime at the demolition derby at the Calhoun County Fair, raising $400. See story on page 22

Roger Fast named 2014 Legend of 4-H The 2014 Legend of 4-H award was given to Roger Fast of Marshall for more than three decades of service to the Calhoun County Fair. “I am very humbled and honored to receive this prestigious award,” Fast said. “I’ve enjoyed all 31 years of the volunteer work I’ve put in with the 4-H.” See story on page 44

NEW YEAR...NEW FACES

Large Animal Auction breaks records

Sandy Kingston Principal Gordon School

The educational philosophy of the 4-H program is “learning by doing.” The outcome of this way of thinking was evident Aug. 15, as youth sold their animals at the 2014 Calhoun County Fair Large Animal Auction. See story on page 48

Backpack collection underway for Hughes School Samantha McKenzie, a former student at Hughes School, has spearheaded a backpack donation program to help current students in need at Hughes start the school year with the required school supplies. With 40 backpacks already filled, she is continuing to solicit monetary donations or contributions of school supplies and backpacks purchased by others through Aug. 30. Her hope is that there will eventually be enough filled backpacks to meet the needs of all students. See story on page 21

Mick Paskett’s passion for the national pastime runs deep Upon hearing Mick Paskett talk baseball, his passion and enthusiasm for the game is obvious from the first syllable. In honor of the 30th anniversary of the1984 Tigers’ World Series Championship, Paskett, and five other men that he competes with online, met up in Chicago to play the simulation game called Dynasty League Baseball, dubbing their competition the “Rail Series.” “You should have seen the people on the train and at the hotel watching us,” said Paskett. “They were asking us what we were doing and had all sorts of questions for us...Everyone was going nuts.” See photos on page 36

new school year is about to begin for area students and, along with all the excitement, there will be new people to meet and unfamiliar routines to master. This is true for two new principals as well: Sandy Kingston at Gordon School and Tony Hutchins at Abion Opportunity School. See their stories on pages 6 and 9

Word on the Street Should parents be teaching their children to drive? Editor’s Corner

A bill was introduced in the Michigan legislature earlier this month that would allow parents to teach their children how to drive without the help of a driving school. Do you think this is a good idea or not?

by John Hendler This week’s Word on the Street asks if parents should be allowed to teach their children how to drive without the help of a driving school and driver’s training. In preparation of my getting my driver’s license when I was 16, all I had to do was drive something like 20 hours with my father as passenger and I would be eligible to get that coveted piece of plastic. There he would be in the passenger seat, his arms extended to the dashboard bracing for impact while yelling at me almost non-stop. Stop racing the machine! Slow down! Brake sooner! What are you, drunk? Talk about distracted driving. One day driving a friend to school with my father in the front seat of course, I decided to do a little bit of showing off. When pulling up to the school, I decided to put the car in park while braking at the same time to show how “smooth” a driver I was. In my attempt to do that trick, I was so focused on shifting into park and forget to hit the brake pedal. Bam! The car came to an abrupt halt, and my father decided to do some showing off of his own, giving me a few smacks to the back of the head while my friend was on the floor of the backseat laughing and crying at the same time. Remember this was 1980 and seat belts were optional at best. Of course my father had to get a few things off his chest. You want to break the car and kill us all? Are you on drugs? Are you a drug dealer? Did your friend in the back seat put you up to acting like an idiot or did you think of that yourself? I cannot imagine my father trying to teach me to drive in 2014. In 1980, aside from my father’s conniptions, my only distraction seemed to be the crackling sound of the AM radio that, on a good day, might pick up one or two stations. How boring life was for the driver of yesteryear: no cell phones, no texting, no CDs, no iPods. No phone, no lights, no motor cars, not a single luxury, like Robinson Crusoe, as primitive as can be. Yes, I was in a motor car, but I couldn’t get that line out of the closing credits to Gilligan’s Island out of my head. And then, in the past few years, it was my turn to be the crazy parent when my kids learned to drive. Instead of bracing myself against the dashboard, I gripped the handle above the door for all it was worth and tried my best not to overreact, raise my voice, use profanity or make groaning noises. Sure, there were some battles in the car, more with my son than with my daughter, but all in all, I think their experience was better with me than mine was with my father. I’m divided in my thoughts to parents teaching their kids to drive instead of a driving school. On one hand, not all parents teach the same way, so there is a greater chance for disparity in young drivers’ skills. On the other hand, having parents teach means less money out of pocket and the chance to make some great memories like I did with my dad. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

"I think they should go to a driving school of some sort. Parents don't know all the regulations. But outside of the school, parents should help their kids to be ready to drive.”

"It’s harder to be taught when your parents are doing it. It’s more stressful. Even just driving with my mom, she gets really freaked out for no reason sometimes, just because she’s nervous.”

"Most parents are teaching their kids to drive anyway along with driver’s training. I think it would save a lot of money. Driving school is expensive.”

Sara Coppo, Marshall

Sara Heidenreich, Marshall

Kevin Brownell, Marshall

"It’s a bad idea because I feel like parents and children will get more tense in the car. I would yell at my mom more than I would at a driving instructor who I don’t know.”

"It’s a bad idea because you don’t know what the parents would be teaching their children, if it is correct or not. Everyone would have inconsistent training.”

"I like the driver’s training program, but it’s expensive and I think some parents can do a great job of teaching their kids to drive, and as long as they can pass the test at the end, they should be fine.”

‘Masks in the Sun’ film worst we’ve ever seen To the Editor: On Aug. 16, my husband and I , along with our son and daughter-in-law, endured the premiere of the film “Masks in the Sun” at the Franke Center. It was by far the worst event we have ever seen. There are no redeeming qualities about this film. The script/story line was so convoluted that it was impossible to follow, the lighting was poor with even indoor scenes being dark and the background music was repetitive and dreary. Editing was poor - how many soulful stares can there be from one character to another before that technique is worn out? Near the conclusion of the film, characters were introduced who had no purpose in the story. After the first hour, members of the audience began to walk

out. There was audience laughter at various points in the film that I don’t believe were intended to be funny. Why did we attend this program? Because it was advertised as having been filmed in Marshall, with many local actors and was a benefit for Alzheimer’s. Also, we have never been disappointed with a program at the Franke, which has a great reputation for quality entertainment. In our minds, that reputation is in jeopardy. By the end of the film, approximately half of the audience was gone. And to add insult to injury, BKW Design (producers of this film) sold movie tickets on their website as “each ticket sold will be a charitable donation to a special program for local elders with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.”

After the movie, BKW Design and cast passed out war propaganda leaflets stating, “A whole theater of people has been fooled...” and “...to hell with the current United States of America, and its insane clandestine war” and “Help me decipher and undo Embeha‘s war machine...” What the ....? Did my money just go for a cause I do not support, nor understand and for tickets sold under false pretenses by BKW’s own admission? My sympathies to the local actors who may have had family and friends in the audience. Everyone who attended this program should get a refund. Wanda Warner, Marshall

To be the best mayor I can be, I need your support To the Editor: Dear Marshall friends, Most of you have heard by now that I have decided to run for mayor of our great city of Marshall, a decision helped by the support I’ve received from our current mayor, Jim Dyer. As he has decided to run for 37th Circuit Court Judge, I ask that you join me in continuing to support him

in his exciting new opportunity. As he seeks a new position, I am sincerely honored by the opportunity to ask the people of Marshall to allow me to serve them as mayor and continue a long history of dedication and service to this community. Many of you know me already from my involvement across our city: as president

for the Marshall Public Schools Music Boosters, board member of the Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce, the Marshall Civic Players, the Marshall Civic Center Trust, the Marshall Community Foundation Grant Committee, and, for the past four years, as the City Council member for Ward 4. I’m proud of my 17 years of par-

ticipation alongside many of you in some of the great organizations that love to serve Marshall’s wonderful community. For those of you who don’t know me, I’d like to introduce myself. Twenty-one years ago, I moved to Marshall from the eastern side of Michigan with my wife, Lisa.

Former Redhawks continue their football prowess with the Battle Creek Coyotes The Battle Creek Coyotes Football team will be hosting a playoff game tonight, Saturday, Aug. 23 at Harper Creek High School at 6:30 p.m. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. The Coyotes (7-3) are the 3 seed in the Crossroad Football League North Conference and will be hosting the 6 seed, Wayne County Bengals (6-4). In case you haven't heard the buzz about the new football team in Battle Creek, the Battle Creek Coyotes minor league football team has enjoyed quite a bit of success over the last few months, earning a playoff spot in the Crossroad Football League that features teams from Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. Formerly known as the Blaze,

the Coyotes have earned the first playoff spot in Battle Creek semi-pro football since 2010. The city of Marshall has always been well-represented in Battle Creek semi-pro football with former Redhawks, Alec Hakes, Nathan Hughes, Will Hagerty, Isaiah Fountaine, and Mike Segel all spending time with the Blaze over their six-year run. This year Marshall has their fair share of talent on the Coyotes, as former Redhawk standouts, Nick Collins, Jaquil Short, and Bobby Owens all spent time in a Marshall uniform prior to playing for Battle Creek. Collins is a player/coach for Coyotes. Collins has spent time playing on both sides of

ball in a relief role to give some of the big guys on the line a breather. Collins, 32, is in his second season with Battle Creek as an assistant coach and player. He is a 2002 graduate of Marshall High School. Jaquil Short is defensive back for the Coyotes and plays primarily in a reserve role. A regular on special teams, Short has four solo tackles on the season. Short played three seasons for Marshall High School (20092011). He was a member of the 2009 Marshall High School MHSAA Division 4 Championship team. Short is 2012 graduate of Marshall High School. Bobby Owens is RB/DB for the Coyotes and despite being straight out of high

school, Owens has shown that football I.Q. and field instincts know no age. Owens has tallied 27 tackles this season with a season-high seven tackles coming in the Coyotes upset victory over the national-ranked, Michigan Lightning from Detroit back in June. Bobby will be playing college football this fall for nearby Olivet College where he hopes to follow in the football steps of several great Redhawks who excelled with the Comets in the classroom and on the field. There will be two 50/50 raffle drawings: one for cash the other will will be a pair of tickets to the Aug. 28 game between the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.
