King of the road: For Sam Tone, there’s no place he’d rather be than behind the wheel Sam Tone always wanted to be a truck driver. After Tone, a former livestock buyer, lost his job a few years back, he told his wife that he wanted to fulfill his dream of making his living on the road. “She said that if there was ever a time in our lives that would work, now was the time,” said Tone, 55, of Ceresco. In September 2012, Tone began driving for his nephew’s trucking business, transferring aluminum for semitrailers. “I’m out there, doing my own thing, but, you’ve got to be tough, mentally, to be out there on the road driving all the time. There are so many things going on around you that you don’t have control of, so you’ve got to be careful, in the truck and out of the truck.” See story on page 38

Columns President’s prayer speech was misguided Editor’s Corner by John Hendler Nearly 25 years ago, the great Chicago columnist Mike Royko (my literary hero) wrote a column about super sensitive folk and the list of banned words for writers issued by the University of Missouri School of Journalism’s Multicultural Management Program. In its introduction to its bad word list, the university wrote: “The following is a checklist of words, many objectionable, that reporters and editors must be aware of in order to avoid offending and perpetuating stereotypes.” Some of the words were obviously offensive, including sexual and racial terms, but others seemed rather innocent. Royko took issue with some of those words on the list which included: *Dear: “A term of endearment objectionable to some. Usage such as “He was a dear man,” or “She is a dear,” should be avoided. *Dutch treat: “Implies that Dutch people are cheap.” *Petite: “Reference to a woman’s body size. Can be offensive.” *Ugh: “A guttural word used to mimic American Indian speech. Highly offensive.” Other words included “fried chicken,” “illegal alien,” “jock” and “senior citizens,” which also included a subset of codger, geezer and old-timer. Royko’s column came to mind last week when I read that the University of Michigan recently released a banned words list as part of its $16,000 Inclusive Language Campaign on campus. Apparently, Inclusive Language Campaign posters “warn” students to not use words such as “illegal alien,” “crazy” or “insane.” Again, words that denigrate one’s nationality, religion or sexual orientation should never be used, and I’m in total agreement with that. University of Michigan students reportedly have been urged to sign an Inclusive Language Pledge promising to follow the new speech and phrasing guidelines on campus. University spokesman Rick Fitzgerald said that the program is intended to be educational and not regulatory. That’s comforting to know that they won’t go after students. And how would they know students used the “bad” words? Would the university ask students to record fellow students’ comments just in case they said a bad word? What about if the student only thinks the words? Is that OK, or will there be some who are offended, wondering if someone has such words in their mind? Don’t laugh. I’m sure there are some so thin-skinned and hyper sensitive that they do go around wondering what others are really thinking when they’re not talking. Where does this end? Anybody can choose to be offended over anything if they really want to but must we look to please everyone’s offended psyche? If someone is sweet, I will call them a “dear man” or “dear woman.” If someone is in this country illegally, I will call them an illegal alien. “Undocumented worker” just doesn’t cut it for me. If I head out to work and forget my wallet at home and get pulled over by police, does that make me an undocumented worker? I admit I may be acting like a codger or geezer with my complaining, but aren’t we as a society taking ourselves a tad too seriously? To follow Royko’s lead: Fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken. I said it, and I’m glad. Sue me. Enough already. Ugh. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

By FRED JACOBS Publisher and CEO, J-Ad Graphics Last week, President Barack Obama was invited to speak at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., a special event that’s been held the first Thursday of February since 1953. The event usually attracts about 3,500 guests made up of members of Congress and the diplomatic corps, along with representatives from various religions and heads of states from nations throughout the world. Since its inception, the prayer breakfast has been an opportunity for our country’s presidents to speak to a special audience in a setting of personal faith and commitment. This year, Obama turned a special message into one of the most controversial speeches ever given. “Lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ,” Obama surprisingly told this Christian audience. “In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.” The president went on with his history lesson to focus on the recent terrorism acts carried out by radical extremists under the name of Islam, saying

that the past few months have shown the degree to which faith can be “twisted and misused in the name of evil,” suggesting that Christians may be no different than violent Muslims in the use of violence to extreme ends. “From a school in Pakistan to the streets of Paris, we have seen violence and terror perpetrated by those who profess to stand up for faith,” continued Obama. “They profess to stand up for Islam, but, in fact they are betraying it.” The president described the Islamic State as a “brutal, vicious death cult that, in the name of religion, carries out unspeakable acts of barbarism. “The use of religion to justify violence and killings is not unique to one group or one religion,” he continued. “There is a tendency in us, a sinful tendency, that can prevent and distort our faith.” Obama missed the chance to appeal to those in attendance to work within their religious groups to find ways to heal our nation and the world by working together. Instead, he used this special event to shock his audience, using these inflammatory comments about violence being perpetrated in the name of religion. As we Americans have watched the brutal acts of beheadings, burning and killing of innocent victims, is our disgust for these outrageous acts an exam-

ple of getting on our “high horse” or is it standing up as people of Christian beliefs for what is right? Reaction from those in attendance provided a clear-cut answer to that question. “The president’s comments this morning at the prayer breakfast are the most offensive I’ve ever heard a president make in my lifetime,” said Jim Gilmore, former governor of Virginia. “He has offended every believing Christian in the United States.” Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, even suggested that it was a defense of the perpetrators. “Mr. Obama was trying to deflect guilt from Muslim madmen,” said Donohue, adding that the comparisons were insulting and pernicious. From my perspective, I wouldn’t begin to think that I had the knowledge or the ability to take on the president’s theory of history, but, as a practicing Christian and local businessman, I have an opinion on his approach. First of all, in giving a speech the first rule is to know your audience. The room was filled, as it has been since 1953, with political, social, business elites and religious leaders from around the country who gather to build relationships and discuss their Christian responsibilities by serving

Letters

God through their actions. “These breakfasts are dedicated to prayer, and all of us believe in and need prayer, said former President John F. Kennedy, who often referred to the importance of looking beyond man’s efforts to summon the strength and confirmation that comes with a foundation built on religious faith. “You and I are charged with obligations to serve the Great Republic in years of great crisis,” Kennedy said. “The problems we face are complex, the pressures are immense, and both the perils and the opportunities are greater than any nation ever faced. “In such a time, the limits of mere human endeavor become more apparent than ever. We cannot depend solely on our material wealth, on our military might, or our intellectual skill or physical courage to see us safely through the seas that we must sail in the months and year ahead. “We are all builders of the future, and whether we build as public servants or private citizens, whether we build at the national or the local level, whether we build in foreign or domestic affairs, we know the truth of the ancient Psalm, ‘Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that built it.’”

Your rights to access copies of your medical records To the Editor: Many healthcare consumers need to play a more active role in their treatment and disease management programs. The right to see and to receive a copy of their medical records (called, the right to access) is fundamental to an individual’s ability to participate in the health care system. In our current climate of uncertainly and medical errors, this is more critical than ever. Some examples of the need to access and save this data are for: • Individuals switching to another doctor due to changes in insurance coverage or relocation. • Busy parents who need copies of medical records to keep track of their own and their children’s medical visits • Health information that is critical to all patients tracking their progress through wellness programs and to monitor chronic conditions • Disputes in insurance billing or coverage with a healthcare provider Electronic Health Records and Personal Health Records make it easier, safer and faster to get access to your health information and stay engaged with your health care provider during a course of treatment. Although there

can be a charge for printing the copies, the piece of mind is well worth the cost. I also know that too often, patients face personal barriers to obtaining their personal records: fear and intimidation are usually the two big ones. But do not let any provider employee deter you from obtaining information that what is legally yours. If they are licensed by the state and federal government and they must comply with the law of face stiff fines. To look up more information about your rights to get your medical records, go online to: http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/under standing/consumers/medicalrecords.html All patients and their personal representatives should be aware that they have the right to: • Ask to see and get a copy of their health records from doctors, clinics, hospitals, pharmacies, nursing homes, and medical labs. • Amend theses medical documents if the information contained within is incorrect • Get either a paper copy or an electronic copy of all of your signed records, lab reports, nurse’s notes and

physician notes, diagnostic images, treatment options • To obtain a copy of every document signed indicating patient financial responsibility and liability. To ensure that you know your rights and are able to assert these rights, the Office of Civil Rights has developed videos and pamphlets to help you understand your rights under HIPAA. These tools are located on the DHHS website at www.HHS.gov/ocr Call our office to file a complaint with HIPAA/OCR if you think that your rights have been violated, and know that under HIPAA, it is illegal for a provider entity to retaliate against you for filing. We strive to keep our beneficiaries and their families informed as to their legal rights and responsibilities under HIPAA, Medicare and Medicaid. If you feel that you rights have been violated or just have general questions regarding HIPAA or Medicare, please contact me at 269-420-1964 or pdn@wowway.com.

4th Annual Ice, Wine & Blues Fest Hundreds visited Marshall's downtown to take part in the 4th Annual Ice, Wine & Blues Fest on Feb. 6 and Feb. 7. There were 416 wine-tasting wristbands and 200 goblets sold on Friday night at 15 locations. This year’s event raised funds for the first time for The Franke Center for the Arts. The amount raised for the event, however, has not been finalized at this time. Twenty-five businesses participated, buying 33 blocks of ice. The ice sculptures were featured throughout Marshall’s downtown and live ice carving demonstrations occurred on both Friday and Saturday. Five blues musicians played in local businesses on Friday night, followed by a free Winter Blues Festival at The Franke, sponsored by FUG. On Saturday, The Franke held a second blues festival, complete with a BBQ dinner.

Boys varsity ends losing skid with win over Homer Marshall ends six-game slide as Brubaker scores 25 in 76-64 win By JOHN HENDLER Editor Playing at home for the first time in three weeks, the Marshall High School boys varsity basketball team ended its six-game losing streak with a 76-64 win over Homer on Feb. 10. The victory was Marshall’s first since a victory at Western on Jan. 13 as the Redhawks improved to 7-6 on the season. Marshall was led by Jacob Brubaker’s 25 points. Also in double figures were Drew DeVine with 16 and Tyler Torrey with 12. The game was relatively close for nearly three quarters, but after the game was tied 49-49 with 2:50 to ply in the third quarters, Marshall went on a 10-2 run to end the quarter to lead 5951. “In addition to shooting well, our pressure and pace for four quarters wore

Homer down,” sid Marshall coach Nick Dent. “For the most part, I was pleased with our decision making down the stretch.” The final stretch of the season has Marshall playing six of its final eight games of the regular season at home. “We have a nice stretch of home games now as we prepare for districts,” said Dent. “Hopefully, being home will enable us to be more competitive versus quality opponents.” The coach pointed out that Brubaker, Torrey and DeVine continue to provide the vast majority of the team’s scoring. “We continue to score well, averaging close to 70 points per game,” said Dent. “However, defense remains an issue for us.” Marshall hosted Lumen Christi Friday night and will be home next week versus Western on Feb. 17 and Northwest on Feb. 20.
