In The News: Many turn out to support Marshall teacher who lost job due to budget cuts The Community Room at Marshall Middle School was full with many standing in the hallway outside for the June 8 Marshall Public Schools Board of Education work session. Many of those in attendance had come to support Marshall Middle School choir teacher Ian Bäby, who was one of four teachers (and eight staff overall) laid off due to budget cuts. The MPS Board of Education met May 26 and approved the layoffs in a special session regarding the budget and the need to cut approximately $660,000 for the upcoming fiscal year. See story on page 5
Marshall awarded nearly $700,000 for Cronin development The Michigan Economic Development Corporation announced in a June 4 press release that three projects, including the J.H. Cronin Building development project in Marshall, were approved for incentives by the Michigan Strategic Fund to support its expansions in the state. Marshall was awarded a $381,071 Community Development Block Grant to be used for correcting structural issues and eliminating blighted conditions on both the interior and exterior of the building. The city also received a grant from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority for $295,769 for the residential component of the project. See story on page 6 Chamber Board dissolved by large margin On June 4, by an overwhelming margin, 84 of 103 Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce members voted in support of dissolving the Chamber Board. “It was very positive that so many Chamber members came out to vote,” said Director of Small Business and Chamber Operations Keith Kehlbeck. “Support for transition was significant. I think that bodes well for moving forward in many positive ways in Marshall. We look forward to continuing to provide services that the Chamber has always provided, under MAEDA.” See story on page 9 First phase of Calhoun County Trail is now a reality On June 6, the Calhoun County Trailway Alliance and Calhoun County Parks and Recreation ceremonially opened the first phase of the Calhoun County Trail for use by the public.

Columns Who’s really to blame for troubles in schools?
Editor’s Corner by John Hendler Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has come under fire the past few days over his comments about not performing on college campuses anymore because students can be too politically correct for comedy. Seinfeld said that young people just want to throw around terminology like “that’s racist” or “that’s sexist,” but “they don’t know what they’re talking about.” I can see where Seinfeld is coming from. In general, people have become so sensitive that even innocent language and intentions can be construed as racist, sexist or homophobic. Ironically, some of these over sensitive people have no issue listening to certain types of music with lyrics that are sexist, racist, homophobic and littered with profanity. I wonder how today’s overly sensitive generation would react after watching an episode of bigot Archie Bunker on All In The Family. Can you imagine the uproar and the advertiser boycott calls that would occur today by overly sensitive and PC crowd if this Archie Bunker line about an election ballot aired on a current network television show: “Salvatore, Feldman, O’Reilly, Nelson - that’s an Italian, a Jew, an Irishman and a regular American dere. That’s what I call a balanced ticket.” And that was one of the milder Archie lines. Political correctness has no business being in society. Essentially, to be PC, one is only allowed to voice their beliefs in a certain way, deemed appropriate by those, ironically, that have low levels of tolerance for differing points of view and are offended if your beliefs are not in line with theirs. Lately, it seems that college campuses are the biggest culprit when it comes to mandating that PC be the only way to go. A few months back I wrote about how the University of Michigan released its banned words list and how its Inclusive Language Campaign made posters warning students not to use words such as illegal alien, crazy or insane. We saw how offended students were when the college pulled showing the movie American Sniper and instead showed Paddington in response to a petition that suggested the movie condoned anti-Muslim and anti-Middle Eastern sentiments. The movie was eventually shown at a smaller scale venue. Then there were the student protests at several colleges about the choice of commencement speakers, including former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice not speaking at Rutgers University after student groups and faculty accused Rice of “grave human rights violations, defrauding the American public and unequivocal support for enhanced torture tactics” during the Iraq war. What happened to listening to opposing points of view and even if you didn’t agree, at least you gave the person their say and respected their right to free speech? Politically correct speech isn’t free speech, it’s restricted speech. I would take an Archie Bunker any day over Mealy Mouth Man, who is afraid to speak frankly or straightforwardly. Until next week, may the good news be yours.
By FRED JACOBS Publisher and CEO, J-Ad Graphics Most teenagers can’t wait to graduate and get on with the next phase of their lives. It’s supposed to be a time when students are expected to be ready to do some things on their own. It’s supposed to be a time that they expect to be treated like adults, making decisions such as what they’re going to do with the rest of their lives and how they plan to make it happen. But how many of our graduates are really ready for ‘prime time?’ There is no shortage of studies pointing to the fact that the serious discipline and behavior problems in America’s public schools is directly impacting student learning. A new report released by the nonpartisan, nonprofit opinion research organization Public Agenda says “teachers too often must operate in a culture of challenge and second guessing that is affecting their ability to teach and maintain order in the classroom.” The report quoted nearly 8 in 10 teachers saying, “Today’s students are quick to remind us that they have rights or that their parents can sue.” Nearly half of the teachers participating in Public Agenda’s study reported that they have been accused of unfairly disciplining students. Then there’s another alarming number of students who just don’t show up for class. According to data released by Bridge Magazine, “More than 91,000 students missed at least two full weeks of school with unexcused absences. That’s enough students to fill [Michigan State University’s] Spartan Stadium with another 16,000 milling
around outside.” Currently, Michigan legislators are again looking for new ways to measure student achievement by evaluating teachers and administers throughout the state. They are looking to spend $14.5 million on a program that is supposed to improve teacher effectiveness. The proposed bill to fund a program that changes the way teachers and administers are evaluated made it through the Michigan Senate last week with a few adjustments and is now on its way to the House. This is just another attempt by bureaucrats to find a simplistic way to rate public schools on performance, holding education funding over their heads, with little or no concern for the culture shifts we’re experiencing in families that have placed a heavy burden on educators and their communities. When I was growing up, kids who got into trouble at school were ready to work it out with teachers and administrators because, when they got home, they knew they would be in even bigger trouble. That’s not the way it is today. In schools across the state, teachers are reporting problematic student behavior with a growing number of students who, experts warn, are not only found in the classrooms but society as well. Today’s’ teachers are dealing with issues like tardiness or leaving early, inappropriate cell phone and laptop usage during class, side conversations, inappropriate remarks, cheating and bullying. These behaviors are having a drastic impact on the learning of all students and are leading to other issues, such as lowering overall student participation, distracting other stu-
dents and lowering standards for the entire class. “Rowdiness, disrespect, bullying, talking out, lateness and loutishness are misbehaviors that are poisoning the learning atmosphere of our public schools,” said Public Agenda President Ruth A. Wooden. “At a time when the achievement stakes for students have never been higher, the fact is, that in school after school, a minority of students who routinely challenge legitimate school rules and authority are preventing the majority of students from learning and teachers from teaching.” Throughout their K-12 years, students are expected to have been listening to parents, teachers and coaches who are preparing them for additional education or to enter the job market. But are students really ready? School districts across the state report that misbehavior among students is on the increase. Expulsions and truancy is up and troubles with students are being reported with younger students. Some schools are even reporting problems as early as kindergarten. Yet, Michigan legislators are ignoring the real problem as they continue to look for new ways to measure teachers rather than the students they have to face each day. Last week I attended the graduation ceremonies for a small group of students from Barry and Calhoun counties. These students were participating in a program held in cooperation with the Barry County Intermediate School District at Gilmore Car Museum called Garage Works. The on-thejob training program is in its sixth year, averaging 25 to 30 area students. The pro-
gram offers these students the opportunity to restore antique automobiles and motorcycles under the supervision of adult mentors with decades of experience and an appreciation for autos. As part of the program, the students learn about being on time with little or no excuses. They learn that if they expect to be successful, they have to accept responsibility for their actions and are expected to pitch in and work as a team to compete tasks set for them. Mark Twain once said, “Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.” It doesn’t take long for the students to realize that if they expect to get something out of the program, it’s up them. Gilmore provides the facility and all of the tools. The mentors provide the knowledge and one-on-one leadership. The students are expected to work hard and learn as much as they can. The special garage was funded by a special grant from Larry and Earlene Baum of Hastings to give the necessary space to be able to work on a number of projects at the same time. These young men and women are learning first hand that to succeed you have to be willing to work hard, work together and soak up the experiences offered in these special classes to gain vocational skills at a world-class facility. Learning the rules of the workplace while at the same time, realizing special enjoyment in the task that will better prepare these students for the jobs they face in their future.

Letters Respect for the game - passion is being misplaced To the Editor: Soccer is a wonderful game that includes a great deal of passion from players, coaches and parents. At times, this passion is misplaced and leads to poor behavior that is out of control. You know the individuals I’m referring to – those who yell and scream at referees with no regard. They seem to think criticizing, condemning and complaining is part of their role to support their kids or grandkids. They’re wrong. Parents and coaches are there for positive support and encouragement. Instead I hear parents inciting their kids to “push back,” “get ‘em,” “don’t let them do that to you,” and “take ‘em out.” Yes, those are actual comments I have heard at a youth soccer game. Passion,misplaced. I am the parent of a soc-
cer player and also a soccer referee, so I get both perspectives of the game. I am not perfect. I make mistakes – same as you, but why do we have to be so intolerant towards referees? Imagine if in your workplace you had 20 or 30 people sitting nearby observing you and randomly yelling and screaming at you for an hour or more because they didn’t agree with your decisions? This is not politics! As an adult, you may be able to withstand the harassment, but many times your insults and sarcasm are aimed towards teenage referees. Some may consider this intimidation or bullying. Why do you think it’s acceptable to act this way towards a referee or anyone else for that matter? Imagine if the roles were reversed and a referee started
screaming and yelling at a coach because they felt he or she had their players in the wrong position when a goal was scored against their team. You’d think the ref was crazy. Yet, we continue to accept this same type of behavior from coaches and parents towards referees? When will someone step up and tell a fellow parent or coach that their conduct is unacceptable? We all need to do better. The West Michigan Soccer Referee Association reports that more than 50 percent of new referees do not return after the first year. Why? The number one reason is verbal abuse from coaches and spectators. As parents and coaches, we should be embarrassed. The West Michigan Youth Soccer Association has a rule
that teams shall take opposite sides of the field and spectators must sit on the same side as their team. Why? When teams and fans were intermingled there were too many altercations between opposing coaches and spectators. Passion misplaced. Before you attend your next game, check yourself. Remember you are there to support your kids, grandkids and others. Represent your team with pride, dignity and class, win or lose. Use your passion for positive encouragement. When a call is made you disagree with, and it will happen, accept it and carry on with your positive support for your team. Respect the game. Jeff Onkka, Marshall

Eaton hosts 36th Supermileage competition Winning team achieves 2,098 miles per gallon Power management company Eaton, in conjunction with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), announced the results of the annual SAE Supermileage competition held at Eaton’s Proving Grounds in Marshall June 4-5. Université Laval from Quebec, Canada, achieved 2,098 miles per gallon with its student-designed and built vehicle that met the strict competition criteria of a single occupant, and a onecylinder, four-cycle engine. Two other college teams achieved more than 1,000 mpg. The competition is in its 36th year, and is part of SAE’s effort to encourage students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math. “The students are so impressive with their ingenuity and creativity. What they accomplish year after year with this competition is truly amazing,” said Staci Kroon, president, Eaton Vehicle Group. “The Supermileage competition helps these students develop practical engi-
neering, team building and leadership skills they can use to succeed in their careers, including making tomorrow’s cars and trucks more fuel efficient.” A total of 23 collegiate teams (17 from the U.S. and six from Canada) competed this year, most of which achieved at least 200 mpg. In addition to the fuel economy results, teams were also rated on the design of their vehicles, prompting an aggregate score that was used to determine the overall winners. The Université Laval team was the overall winner receiving a total score of 2,453 (2,098 mpg plus its Design Report score of 355). The team won $1,500 and will be recognized at the SAE 2015 Commercial Vehicle Engineering Congress held Oct. 6-8 in Rosemont, Ill. Brigham Young University of Provo, Utah, was second with a total score of 1,609 (1,244 mpg and 365 for design). Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Il. was third with a total score of
1,400 (1,057 for mpg and 343 for design). These schools received $1,200 and $900, respectively. Of the three Michigan colleges and universities represented, Michigan Technological University came in fourth overall with a total score of 1,153 (793 mpg and 360 for design). The other Michigan schools were Lawrence Technological University (621 – 358/263)
and the University of Detroit – Mercy (513 – 380/133). A team from the University of South Alabama won the Design Report portion of the competition with a score of 430. The Lawrence Technological University team won the Best Newcomer Award, while Brigham Young University was chosen by the event organizing committee for both the Best Design Execution as well as
the Endurance Award (minimum of four successful fuel economy runs). California State University – Los Angeles received the Best Demonstrated Overall Team Attitude award. Hosted by Eaton since its inception in 1980, the Supermileage event is designed to generate public awareness of high-mileage fuel economy and to promote automotive engineering as a career
choice for students. Participants are encouraged to use advanced materials and technologies, as well as their design creativity and imaginations, to get the most out of their vehicles over the 9.6mile course – six times around Eaton’s 1.6-mile test track. The winning team at the first Supermileage competition in 1980 achieved 558 mpg.

Basketball camps focus on fundamentals of game Dozens of boys and girls took part in the two Marshall basketball camps last week held at Marshall High School and Marshall Middle School. Each camp was divided into sections depending on age. Participants worked on the fundamentals of the game including dribbling, passing, shooting and defense. At near right is Jason Janofski. Center right is Carter Damon. At far right is Aidan Miller. Below left: Lanie Coddens tries to dribble past Rayna Hayes. Below center: Chelci Northern.

Marshall High School girls tennis season in review By KEVIN BROWNELL MHS Girls Tennis Coach The girls all worked very hard this year and we improved a lot Most of the girls spent a lot of time in the off season taking lessons and working on their game. Spring is a tough season to play tennis. As soon as the snow clears we are out there playing matches. There is not a lot of time to practice outdoors before we are into the middle of our season. I was really excited about the new players we had on our varsity team this year. Kennedy Karns (freshman), Melanie Busse (freshman), Isabel Saville (junior), and Olivia Lounds (freshman) all were first time varsity players and have a ton of potential. It was great to see these new players work so hard and improve so
much. It's exciting when you get a group of new players with this kind of drive and enthusiasm. They will do great things for our program in the coming years. Speaking of hard workers, nobody on our team works harder than Grace Corcoran, our number 1 singles player. Grace puts in more time during the off season than anyone else and often stays after practice to get extra work on parts of her game. Being number 1 is not easy. Grace faces the best player on every other team, every match. Grace has improved so much this year from where she was last year, and it's all because of her hard work. She works very hard at our practices and with her dad, John Corcoran, former Pennfield High School girls coach, who has helped
greatly with our team. Our doubles teams got a lot of experience this season and improved a lot. Taylor Karns and Sydney Bies played at number 1 doubles this season. Together, they improved immensely and worked hard every day in practice. Erica Chamberlain and Melanie Busse played #2 doubles. I was so impressed with these girls this year. Melanie is a first year player and she and Erica really worked well together. They both really have a killer instinct and do not like to lose. The same can be said about our 3 doubles this year as well. Both Kennedy Karns and Isabel Saville were first year varsity players, but they both did such a great job listening to coaching and working to make improvements.
Both of these girls are welcome additions to our team. Number 4 doubles this season was Alex Campau and Olivia Lounds. Olivia is another new varsity player with skills and a lot of potential. Alex got experience last season on varsity and really helped ease Olivia into her spot on varsity this season. They are both hard workers and worked really well together. Three players that had extra special seasons for us this season are Jaime Dimoff (senior., 2 singles), Brooklyn Tobias (senior., 3 singles), and Natalie Tucker (freshman., 4 singles). Jaime finished her fourth year as a varsity player with a 13-7 record this season. She came in second place in the I-8 conference tournament at 2 singles, earning All-Conference Honorable Mention.
Brooklyn finished her fourth year as a varsity player with an 18-3 record this season. Brooklyn won her 3 singles flight the I-8 tournament, earning AllConference status. Brooklyn then went on to finish as regional runner-up at 3 singles in our regional tournament. She was regional runner-up last season at 4 singles, as well. Natalie finished her first year on varsity with a 15-4 record at 4 singles. She won her flight at the I-8 tournament and also finished with an All-Conference award. Natalie also went on to play in the finals of the 4 singles flight at regionals and finished as regional runner-up. Each year, team awards are given out to deserving players. These awards are voted on by the girls on the team, as well as the
coaches. This years awards were as follows: Most Valuable Player: Brooklyn Tobias Most Improved Player: Melanie Busse Hustle Award: Jaime Dimoff Redhawk Pride Award: Isabel Saville I am so proud of all of the girls on our tennis team this year. Not only in their on-court work ethic and achievements, but also in the classroom. This year the girls have been recognized by the Michigan High School Tennis Coaches Association with an All-Academic Tennis Team Award. These are awarded to member teams who have an average grade point average of 3.25 or higher.
