In The News: Honor Flight takes local veterans to see WWII monument in Washington, D.C. With nearly 700 World War II veterans dying every day, Honor Flight, a national non-profit organization that started in 2005, was created solely to honor American’s veterans for all their sacrifices. The program has transported more than 100,000 veterans, free of charge, to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at the war memorials. On Oct. 26, Talons Out, an Honor Flight hub out of Kalamazoo, will send its inaugural flight with 24 veterans and 24 guardians, three of which are from Marshall and two from Battle Creek. “We formed our group in June and announced the first flight for October, which is very ambitious,” said Talons Out President Bobbie Bradley. “It’s just so important to get these veterans out there.” See story on page 52
‘Neighbors Helping Neighbors’ Marshall United Way Campaign begins to HELP PEOPLE!
Third Annual ‘Driving for a Cure’ is Sept. 21 The Calhoun County Yesteryear Association will hold its third annual “Driving for a Cure,” a tractor drive for cancer on Sept. 21, rain or shine. “Our main purpose is to raise awareness and give something back to help the Calhoun County community,” said Alex Woodward, who came up with the idea for the event after watching his mother, Tamy Woodward, fight breast cancer. “When our family went through it, my mom had a lot of support, but there are others out there who don’t have that type of support and we would like to help them.” See story on page 28
A new lease on life: Carolyn Potter has positive outlook with her new lungs Carolyn Potter of Marshall works at Mansion Street Women’s Health, but for many months, she’s needed the help of tank after tank of oxygen to allow her to function. As her unexplained hypersensitivity pneumonitis condition diagnosed in 2009 left her barely able to walk without being winded and on continuous oxygen therapy, her position on the lung transplant list became ever more important. In early August, she received a double lung transplant and a chance at a new life. See story on page 30

What did you think about the 50th Annual Home Tour? Editor’s Corner
The ad-visor&chronicle asked these six out-of-town visitors, who were here for the 50th Annual Marshall Historic Home Tour, what they liked about the event and the City of Hospitality.
by John Hendler Regardless of political party affiliation, I believe most of you out there are of the opinion that the Syria crisis over the past few weeks could have been handled better by the Keystone Cops or Three Stooges than it was handled by our government. And while the United States went on the world stage and put its foot in its mouth numerous times, look who came to our “rescue” to save us from ourselves: Russian President Vladimir Putin, an opportunist if there ever was one, who makes even two-bit used car salesmen and ambulance chasers look good by comparison. It’s one thing to dither and stagger around wondering what to do in response to Syria gassing 1,400 of its own people to death, not to mention the butchering of over 100,000 people over the past two years. But to have Putin come in and essentially hold Barack Obama’s hand and lead him out of the crisis and out of the Mideast is embarrassing for a number of reasons. For one, in helping Obama save face, Putin, at least in his own mind, sees the Unites States as now being beholden to him for saving the day. In doing so however, it further showcases how far the United States has fallen as a superpower as Russia is now the power broker when it comes to Mideast affairs. I can just hear Putin talking to Obama: Listen Barack, we got it covered. No problem. You go lead from behind. Some in his own party may be hailing Obama as a hero (thanks to Putin) in averting military intervention in Syria (for now), but in the bigger scheme of things, Putin is the one pulling the strings, playing Obama like a marionette. One comment online about what Putin did was akin to Putin “doing donuts on the White House lawn.” To his credit, Putin saw an opening handed to him by Secretary of State John Kerry and he ran with it leaving the administration scratching their heads wondering what had just happened. What happened was that you just got played by a calculating, shrewd, S.O.B. that pulled open the curtain on the myth of United States’ strength and superiority. What happens when the stakes are even higher with a showdown with Iran? You know that day is coming. To our allies around the world, from Japan to South Korea to Israel to Poland, last week revealed that they may not be able to count on the United States of America when the chips are down; that somewhere the United States is now more about paying lip service than anything else. Until next week, may the good news be yours.
Clarification: In a press release that ran on page 53 of the Sept. 7 advisor&chronicle, the idea for lemonade stand should have been attributed to Elliana Ebner, who is pictured with Olivia Amting.

"It’s wonderful. Marshall looks like a wonderful place to live. The houses are well preserved and people here seem to take pride in the town.”
"I had driven through Marshall a couple of times, but never stopped. It’s delightful. It’s beautiful and the homes are much more beautiful than I had thought.”
"The homes here are amazing and and learning the history of each home on tour was interesting. I loved seeing the old homes and learning about how they were built.”
Rick Johns, Okemos
Al Biggs, Milford, Mich.
Alissa Nordmoe, Hamtramck, Mich.
"It was our first time coming to Home Tour. It was great. We’ll be back. The homes are beautiful, and everybody in Marshall was very nice.”
"The historical value of Marshall and seeing the buildings going back to the 19th century and Civil War era is very interesting to me. The energy the people here put into restoring some of these homes is phenomenal.”
"My aunt is an architect. She wanted to see the homes. I have to say, Marshall is a beautiful town and the homes are really pretty.”

50th Annual Marshall Historic Home Tour a success To the Editor: Thanks to all who worked so hard to make our 50th Annual Marshall Historic Home Tour such a success. There are so many folks to thank, from our homeowners to local business owners, to members of the Historical
Society, to the city of Marshall and folks who enjoyed the tour over the weekend. The committee members who worked so tirelessly doing all the jobs that make this a success, either in frontline roles or behind the scenes, deserve a lot of
credit. And the special events that took place this year in conjunction with the tour were all so well done. The list of individuals who deserve thanks would fill this page, so I will just say a heartfelt thanks to all. And all the guests who
came to Marshall this weekend would agree that we once again showed ourselves to be the City of Hospitality. Ann Rhodes, President, Marshall Historical Society
Columns Law that helps people...Tenancy by the entireties By GEORGE M. STRANDER Ingram County Court Administrator and Probate Register
Third in a series. Joint tenancy is a type of joint ownership where the co-owners share in the ownership of the entire asset (usually a house or real estate of some kind). As we have seen, this kind of joint ownership is characterized by four “unities”: the co-owners all acquired ownership at the same time; all co-owners are on one title; each co-owner’s ownership interest is the same; and each coowner has a right to possession of the whole property. We have also seen that (1) this ownership is with “rights of survivorship” so that surviving coowners take over the property interest of a co-owner that passes away, and
(2) any co-owner can unilaterally break the joint tenancy by, say, selling his or her property interest, thereby giving the buyer a separate fractional property interest in the building or property. “Tenancy by the entireties” is a special type of joint tenancy that applies to married couples. In this article, we will explore how it is similar and how it is different from a generic joint tenancy. F ive u n it ies: Tenancy by the entireties is a joint tenancy with a fifth unity. In addition to the unities of time, title, interest and possession there is the unity of marriage (i.e., the co-owners must be married). A few states (e.g., Hawaii and Vermont) have broadened the unity required to encompass domestic partners and civil unions. Defa u lt a r r a n gem en t for m a r r ied cou p les: When a married couple purchases a piece of property, like a home, Michigan law automatically in-
terprets this joint ownership relationship as a tenancy by the entireties unless otherwise specified. This builds in a right of survivorship to the ownership so that a surviving spouse always takes over the entire asset after one spouse passes. Br ea k in g a t en a n cy b y t h e en t ir et ies: Unlike a straight joint tenancy, a tenancy by the entireties cannot be unilaterally broken by one of the co-owners. The tenancy can be broken by the passing of one of the spouses, which results in the other spouse owning all of the asset, or it can be broken by a court order as when a couple divorces. Next t im e, t e n a n cy in com m on : Often the result of destroying a joint tenancy, or of a divorce in a tenancy by the entireties, is that the remaining co-owners own separate distinct shares of the asset. In our next article, we will explore this other type of joint ownership, called “tenancy in common.”
Dozens of volunteers ensured the success of the 2013 Home Tour, including host Ken MacNevin, above, and Donna Daines, right, who, as Alta Brooks, welcomed visitors to Stonehall.
Last weekend, more than 3,000 people enjoyed the 2013 Home Tour.
