In The News: MPS Superintendent Davis says that first semester at Marshall High School has been ‘unremarkable’ and that’s a good thing As the first semester comes to an end at Marshall High School under the new Marshall-Albion Cooperative Agreement, Superintendent Dr. Randy Davis says that it has been “an unremarkable beginning of a new year.” “I go back to that one day last year when I said, ‘I’m expecting an unremarkable beginning to a new year,’” said Davis last week. “The work we did in the forum with the kids (in July at Starr Commonwealth) truly carried a lot of weight with the kids as they started coming in to the high school and a lot of the kids felt that was a lot to do about nothing.” See story on page 14

Mead of Marshall recently published a “no-nonsense, how-to” book for people struggling to find a job or for those who want to advance their careers in today’s market. “Everyone had a different situation,” Mead said. “But the main reasons they haven’t been successful are usually similar...I’m trying to get them to stop taking a shotgun approach and help them to take a rifle approach that is more specific to their needs.” How to Get the Job is based on extensive learning research and proven instructional methods from Mead’s 38-year career as a Senior Human Performance Development Consultant.

Word on the Street Has technology impacted our ability to interact with others?

Editor’s Corner

With dependence on technology growing year by year, studies have shown that people under 40 have poorer interpersonal communication skills than those of the same ago a generation ago. How has technology changed face-to-face communication?

by John Hendler We’ve been warned about the dangers of texting and driving, which has claimed hundreds, if not thousands of lives since cell phone use became prevalent over the past decade. Last week near Tampa, Fla., a man was killed because he was texting during the previews prior to the movie Lone Survivor. Apparently, while the man was texting his daughter during the trailers prior to the matinee movie, a retired police officer, seated nearby, asked him to stop texting. When the man refused to stop, the retired officer allegedly left the theater and returned moments later and shot the texter to death. I’m not going to ponder whether stricter gun laws would have saved the man’s life but rather, ponder if our technological advancements have left us so isolated and unable to communicate like we used to back in the good ol’ days of the 1990s. I don’t know what words were exchanged, but a man texting, even if he was acting like a jerk (and I’m not saying he was), shouldn’t lose his life. That man could have been me. It could have been you. You’re in the theater and before the movie starts, you check in with your kid to make sure everything’s OK, or if they did what you asked them to do or if they got home safely since they are a new teen driver, etc. I’ve done that during previews but once the main attraction begins, I put the phone down. And if I have to use the phone for whatever reason during the movie, I leave the theater. To a larger extent, and perhaps I am going off on too much of a tangent, technological advancements, although convenient, seems to have curtailed our need or ability to interact with other human beings. Of course, all these advancements were meant to simplify our lives and started innocuously enough. The drive-thru allowed us to stay in our car and talk to a speaker box; the ATM allowed us to skip going into the bank to interact with a teller. (These days you can skip the bank altogether even to make a deposit by just doing it on your smartphone.) Then came pay at the pump and self checkout at supermarket and big box stores. Now, we can go through our day without ever interacting with another person and is it any coincidence that, as we get away from face-to-face interaction, we have more problems when we have to have face-to face-interactions? Is it any wonder or surprise that the movie Her, which is about a man who falls in love with his computer’s highly advanced operating system has been nominated for Best Picture? With the explosion of social media, we now communicate back and forth without ever seeing the person or uttering a single word. Employers report that potential employees can barely make it through an interview because they are devoid of face-to-face communication skills. As our advancements continue to take us further into the future, it will most likely continue to set our interpersonal communication skills (what’s left of them) further and further back at the same time. I know, such a pessimist. Blame it on the gray, cold weather. I’ll be more of an optimist when the sun returns. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

"Social skills with the younger generation have suffered. But more companies are using social media to attract users.”

"As Albert Einstein is reported to have said, ‘I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction.’”

"It’s gotten to the point where people don’t communicate face-to-face anymore. Back in the day, you’d know your friend’s number and call him up. Now if you lose your phone, you can’t reach him.”

C.J. Rowe, Howell

Rusty Paul, Coldwater

Ed Paul, Coldwater

"I personally have not subscribed to social media in any way. It hasn’t impacted me that much, and I’m doing just fine.”

"I prefer it this way. I prefer texting to talking because I stutter.”

"I’m old fashioned and retired from the phone company. I like calling people. I don’t like texting people.”

Thanks to those who helped dig MHA residents out of snow To the Editor: The staff, residents and Tenants Association of the Marshall House Apartments would like to give a big thank you to Marshall High School volunteers Charlie Woods, Madison Hautau, Brett McDonald, Ted McDonald and Ben Woods

who removed snow off the tenants’ automobiles and Cutting Edge Lawn Care employee Steve Quigley for the job of snow removal from our parking lot on Jan. 8, following the close to 18 inches of snow on Jan. 5 and 6. The residents would also

like to thank our office staff who were out there helping with brooms and shovels. We sincerely appreciated this help during a time where the weather and wind chill made tasks like this difficult for our residents. Now our parking lot is safe for all our residents, espe-

cially the elderly and wheelchair bound. Thank you again and God Bless. Glenn Frye, MHA Tenants Association, President

Medicare: Advance beneficiary notice of non-coverage To the Editor: If you have Original Medicare and your doctor, health care provider or supplier thinks Medicare probably (or certainly) won’t pay for items or services, they may give you a written notice called an “Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage.” The ABN lists the items or services that Medicare isn’t expected to pay for, an estimate of the costs for the items and services, and the reasons why Medicare may not pay. The ABN gives you information to make an informed choice about whether or not to get items or services with the understanding that you may have to accept responsibility for payment. You’ll be asked to choose an option box and sign the notice to say that you read and understood it. You must choose one of these options: • Option 1: You want the items or services that may not be paid for by Medicare.Your provider or supplier may ask you to pay for them now, but you also want them to submit a claim to Medicare for the items or services. If Medicare denies payment, you’re responsible for paying, but,

since a claim was submitted, you can appeal to Medicare. • Option 2: You want the items or services that may not be paid for by Medicare, but you don’t want your provider or supplier to bill Medicare. You may be asked to pay for the items or services now, but because you request your provider or supplier to not submit a claim to Medicare, you ca n n ot file an appeal. • Option 3: You don’t want the items or services that may not be paid for by Medicare, and you aren’t responsible for any payments. A claim isn’t submitted to Medicare, and you cannot file an appeal. Important notes: - An ABN form is not an official denial of coverage by Medicare. You have the right to file an appeal if payment is denied when a claim is submitted. - Under no circumstances should a beneficiary/patient sign an ABN that has not been completely filled out by the provider listing: all tests, procedures and other services offered that might not be covered under Medicare. It is up to the healthcare provider to completely explain this form to the pa-

tient prior to the selling these non-covered services to the patient. What are the other types of ABNs? Other types of ABNs include: • “Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice”: A skilled nursing facility will issue you a SNFABN if there’s a reason to believe that Medicare may not cover or continue to cover your care or stay because it isn’t reasonable or necessary, or is considered custodial care. The SNFABN tells you the date when Medicare will likely no longer pay for your services. If you choose to get the services that may not be covered by Medicare, when you have to pay depends on the type of item or service. • For items that may not be covered under Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance), you don’t have to pay for these services until a claim is submitted and Medicare officially denies payment. However, while the claim is processed, you have to continue paying costs that you would normally have to pay, like the daily coinsurance and costs for services and supplies Medicare generally doesn’t cover.

WHEN THEY TELL YOU THAT ABORTION IS A MATTER JUST BETWEEN A WOMEN AND HER DOCTOR

The incredible photograph above by Dr. Rainer Jonas shows what a healthy, active intrauterine child looks like at 19 weeks. Like the bud of a flower, beautiful. But, unfortunately still a candidate for abortion.

THEY’RE FORGETTING SOMEONE

41 Years of abortion in America Reality of abortion since 1973 According to the most recent statistics, more than 56 million abortions have been performed in the United States since 1973. On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court in two separate decisions, Roe v. Wade and Doe V. Bolton, legalized abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. Because of these two decisions, our families, communities, state and nation will never be the same.

If the unborn child is not alive, why is she growing? If she is not a human being, what kind of being is she? If she is a living, human child, why is it legal to kill her? Calhoun County Right to Life and the Knights of Columbus invites you to attend the Battle Creek Prayer Service for the Unborn on Sunday, January 19th at 3PM. The 30 minute service is for aborted children and for the spiritual and emotional healing of mothers who have had an abortion. The service will be at the Memorial of the Unborn located in Beckley Cemetery, on Helmer Road just south of I-94 Exit 95. Please come to pray and listen to the inspirational words of Rev. Francis Marotti of St. Phillip Catholic Church. Dress warm and bring a friend.

Tickets are $50 each which includes a spaghetti dinner, free libations, and an opportunity to win a grand prize of $1,000 . There will be 50/50 drawings, 50/50 cash boards (like Super Bowl squares) throughout and many other money prizes. Also, for many who do not win money, there will be multiple other prizes. One such prize is four box seats to any MLB baseball game that Marshall resident and MLB Umpire Bill Welke is working. All profits go to the programs. Finally, if your ticket is drawn and you win no money, you may then buy it back for $5 and have your ticket in the last chance drawing.
