In The News:
More than 130 attend public forums on proposed Albion annexation Marshall Public Schools board members told those in attendance at Wednesday’s public forum that the district will not pursue annexation with Albion if MPS incurs debt. “Albion did not ask for this; Marshall did not ask for this. Both communities are trying to work it out,” said MPS Superintendent Randy Davis. “My job as superintendent is to look out for the students and the budget of what is currently the Marshall Public Schools.” Two community forums on the topic were held this week at Marshall High School where the public was invited to ask questions about the annexation. The sessions had approximately 130 in attendance. See story on page 2 MPS Board to hold special meeting on annexation on Dec. 16 MPS Board of Education President Richard Lindsey gives his take regarding the annexation discussions with Albion Community Schools during the Dec. 7 and Dec. 9 Marshall public forums. Lindsey says, “The key to the annexation is to create a win-win scenario in which the short term debt is eliminated and Albion students would become Marshall students and have the same great staff and programs available to them.” The MPS Board of Education will formally consider voting to approve a 22g grant application and will further discuss annexation options at a special meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 16. See column on page 5 Gordon Elementary celebrates Blue Ribbon designation On Dec. 8, Gordon Elementary School celebrated being one of the nation’s best schools with a day of events to honor becoming a National Blue Ribbon School. “The National Blue Ribbon Award recognizes our students high level of achievement and it’s a celebration of and for our community,” said Gordon Principal Sandy Kingston. “As we celebrate this recognition, remember this is just the beginning. Excellence isn’t a place. It’s a journey, it’s an attitude that we take toward challenges, it gives us the strength to keep trying when it gets tough because we know effort and hard work is what builds great schools and creates great future citizens of our country.” The celebration included a flag raising ceremony, a school assembly and a reception at Schuler’s. See story on page 47 It’s the season of giving and Paul Davis gives back to Marshall Longtime Marshall resident Paul Davis said this Christmas he wanted to do something special for the city of Marshall. “I realized that the holidays this year were going to be a challenge for me (since his wife Becky died in July), so I started a plan to keep myself busy during this time of year and wanted do something that would be beneficial to the community. So being the holiday season, I decided to find a way to make a contribution to the Marshall Christmas Light Fund.” Davis enlisted the help of a few Marshall friends and created the “Macy’s of Marshall” train display in downtown Marshall that will run through the Christmas season. See story on page 20 Girls’ Night Out Ugly Sweater Party is Dec. 17 Marshall-area retailers will host the last “Girls’ Night Out” shopping event of the year on Thursday, Dec. 17 from 5-8:30 p.m. with the theme “An Ugly Christmas Sweater Party.” At the event, shoppers will find special deals and promotions at participating businesses.

Columns Crucial energy decision looms for state legislators
Editor’s Corner by John Hendler
Is there more to life than being happy?
Despite so much advancement in communication, thanks to the internet, smart phones and social media, our quest for happiness seems as elusive as ever. It seems that the more stuff we have the lower the degree of happiness we experience. Can it be that more is not necessarily better? Viktor Frankl, the prominent psychiatrist and neurologist who survived a Nazi concentration camp and wrote about his experience in the book, Man’s Search for Meaning, came up with one of my favorite quotes on life: It is the very pursuit of happiness that thwarts happiness. Think about it; how often have we set out to “be happy” only to find that the experience we pinned such high hopes on turned out to be less than what we expected? Frankl concluded in his book that the difference between those who lived and those who died came down to one thing: meaning. Frankl saw in the camp that those who found meaning even in the most horrifying situations were far more resilient to suffering than those who did not. A Gallup poll a while back showed that approximately 60 percent of Americans think of themselves as “happy.” On the other hand, according to the Centers for Disease Control, at least 40 percent of Americans say they do not have a satisfying life purpose. In an article titled, There’s More To Life Than Being Happy, Emily Esfahani Smith states that research has shown that having purpose and meaning in life increases well-being and life satisfaction, improves mental and physical health, enhances resiliency, enhances self-esteem and decreases the chances of depression. She also notes, that the pursuit of happiness is ironically leaving people less happy according to recent research. An author of a recent study in the Journal of Positive Psychology has noted that “Happiness without meaning characterizes a relatively shallow, self-absorbed or even selfish life, in which things go well, needs and desire are easily satisfied and difficult or taxing entanglements are avoided.” Happiness, they found is about feeling good and being more of a “taker” rather than a “giver.” The article notes that participants in a study reported meaning from giving a part of themselves away to others and making a sacrifice. To quote psychologist Martin E.P. Seligman: You use your highest strengths and talents to belong to and serve something you believe is larger than the self. One last thing to think about: Researchers found that having negative events happen to you decreases your happiness, but increases the amount of meaning you have in life. Looks like finding meaning in one’s life is the key that just might bring us happiness. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

Michigan residents had to wait nearly 10 years for legislators to finally come up with a plan to fix our roads which still won’t see any improvements for two more years. Now, we’re relying on this same erratic bunch to make a decision on an issue that will either lead us into a secure economic future or will literally turn out the lights across the entire state. With a Dec. 31 expiration deadline of a 2008 state energy law fast approaching, lawmakers are now scrambling to find a way to comply with new federal carbon-emission standards while ensuring that the mandated transition to alternative power sources doesn’t create a statewide energy shortage and economic calamity. The state’s current energy plan mandated that utilities generate at least 10 percent electricity from renewable sources by 2015. According to industry experts, DTE and Consumers Energy have met that target and are now exploring additional ways to reduce waste and control costs in order to meet stringent final carbonemission rules announced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Aug. 3. These same experts warn, though, that if the new legislation announced by the EPA doesn’t continue to set targets for re-
newable energy standards, our electric companies may not continue the momentum to reduce our dependence on coal and other fossil fuels. That’s the balancing act legislators are now playing out in Lansing — finding a way to maintain providers’ focus on the new technology that environmentalists demand, while controlling costs that business interests are seeking. “Michigan has the highest electricity costs in the Midwest, and the Michigan Legislature has a real opportunity to rein in costs through higher energy efficiency and renewable energy goals,” said Larry Ward, executive director of the Michigan Conservative Energy Forum. “Now is the time for conservatives to lead by requiring the utilities to reduce energy waste and purchase low-cost renewable energy.” Utility companies say that they’ve already spent hundreds of millions on wind, solar, biomass and other clean power sources in recent years that have generated millions in savings. Industry leaders, however, maintain that further demands from the EPA for increasing reliance on alternative energy resources may drive up costs and could even lead to power outages in the future. Seven coal-fueled plants will be retired by April, and a total of 25
aging plants in the state will be mothballed by 2020. Coal plants have traditionally supplied 50 percent of the state’s electricity generation, and definite concern has been expressed by the power companies about having enough backup power as the transition to alternative energy sources continues. Producers believe that the EPA’s new rules requiring utilities to reduce their carbon emissions by 32 percent by 2030 will ensure continued investments in alternative energy sources, eliminating the need for the state to set its own rigid rules but putting even more pressure on the state’s utilities to reduce rates. “The bills now headed to the House floor would be a victory for Michiganders and a positive step in the long-term direction of our state,” says Gov. Rick Snyder. “The package helps us continue with the progress we have made on competitiveness and affordability. It also addresses our goal of controlling our own destiny on energy. Decisions about our state’s energy should be made in Michigan, not Washington, D.C.” The proposed “NofsNesbitt Plan,” named after the two legislators who drafted the bill, Sen. Michael Nofs of Battle Creek and Rep. Aric Nesbitt of Lawton, the House Energy Policy chairman, is said to go a long way in
setting reasonable oversight over the state’s utilities, though it’s produced some dissonant discussion. The Nofs-Nesbitt Plan sets new limits on Michigan’s net metering program, which allows people and businesses with solar panels to sell surplus energy back to the utility companies’ power grids. Utilities maintain, however, that the net metering program is unfair because it shifts the cost of maintaining the grid to other customers. The Nofs-Nesbitt Plan would allow the program to continue, but with new rules that would require greater oversight of alternative energy suppliers and their capacity to supply approved customers. With the seven coalfired power plants going dark in early April, the state must have a new plan in place for moving forward to cut waste and increase efficiency for the entire system. DTE and Consumers Energy approved the standards when the state legislation was approved in 2008 and are willing to work within a framework to continue to maintain a reliable source for the future. But with increasing demands on the electrical grid, they’ve voiced concerns with maintaining a constant reliable source of power, especially as they shut down major sources of power in the coming months. Continues to next page...
Letters Albion: ‘Now is the time for action, not just talk’ To the Editor: On Monday, Dec. 7, four Albion City Council members voted in support of a resolution “disapproving the proposed annexation of Albion Public Schools by Marshall Public Schools.” I’m always encouraged to see public officials taking the opportunity to speak their minds and make their voices heard. My concern in this particular case, however, is that the vote of these four council members is just talk. The time has arrived for all the peo-
ple of Albion—the city officials, the School Board, the business leaders, the homeowners, the stakeholder leaders, the parents and guardians of children, and the children themselves—not merely to say what they are against, but to say clearly what they are for and to do the work of building something new. In Albion, now is the time for action, not just for talk. Now is the time to say “yes,” not merely to say “no.” Now is the time for making, not merely
rejecting. So, I look forward to the next City Council meeting where I hope—and in fact expect—to see those members of the council who officially said no to annexation take the next logical step by presenting an official resolution saying yes to another option that is as fully formed, specific, realistic and likely to succeed as the possibility of annexation. Nels Christensen, Albion School Board member
Good call to pause for refugee settlements To the Editor: Gov. Snyder’s pause in his Syrian refugee policy while security screening upgrades are made is wise and timely. Recall the Islamist Nigerian “underwear bomber’s” 2010 foiled attempt to crash a jetliner into Detroit Metro Airport with potentially horrific results. Public safety is of paramount concern. Let’s resist the hateful hysteria peddled by opportunistic presidential candi-
dates and look at facts. Not one family of persecuted mid-east Christians and “heretical” Muslim minorities resettled by Michigan Catholic/Lutheran aid agencies has ever posed a terrorist threat to anyone. All are productive loyal residents and grateful patriotic new citizens of America. This Christmas, Syrian, Iraqi, Nestorian and Orthodox Christians remain homeless, destitute and persecuted
in their homelands, along with Muslim minority sects. After assisting the isolated, needy or homeless in our own communities, consider a gift of solidarity and succor to bonafide religious charities that heroically minister to overseas mid-east suffering people. With truly pious Muslims in our midst in a spirit of mutual hospitality and shared sacred values, visit Nestorian.org and helpi-
raq.org. Never forget that the holy family of Nazareth was persecuted refugees in Egypt, according to the Christmas gospel narrative. Follow the star of the wise men that seek peach. Thank you Gov. Snyder, U.S. Rep. Justin Amash, U.S. Sen. Gary Peters and U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow. Carl Davidson, Marshall

Experienced team looks to make deep run By NICK DENT MHS Boys Varsity Coach This season’s squad is a senior-heavy and experienced team. We have a number of individuals who already have two years of varsity basketball under their belts. We hope this experience will pay dividends. In addition to experience, athleticism, speed and outside shooting are our strengths. However, we lack size. We will be an up tempo basketball team. We hope to compete well in both the I-8 and our district. Returning seniors include Jaylin Alexander, Jacob Brubaker,Drew DeVine,Forrest Jackson, T.J. Rocco, Chris Thomas and Tyler Torrey. Newcomers to the varsity roster this year include juniors Mitch Avery, Cam Face, Brad Heidenreich, Marcus Waters and Ryan Westrick.

MHS swimmers have eyes on league title By DAVE KARNS MHS Swimming Coach This year’s team loaded with athletes at both ends11 seniors and 10 freshman. We have good experience with five returning state team members, but also a lot of new swimmers that will need to learn the ropes. Quite a few of our freshmen have swimming experience which is a plus, but learning how high school meets work and learning about the training it takes to improve will be new to all of them. I am very excited about the upcoming season. We finished second in our league last season and are looking to compete for the league title once again. This season’s captains are Cam Foster, Seb Loonen, Taj Wallace and Alec Kraushaar

Girls basketball expects another big year By SAL KONKLE MHS Girls Varsity Coach The team appears to be young when looking at the roster. Although there is only one on our roster, there are six returning players. Senior Emily Delmotte returns as a three-year varsity player and will serve as a captain. Juniors Jill Konkle and Nikki Tucker are third-year varsity players that are returning captains as well as all-league players that started a year ago. Carlee Long also returns as a starter that received honorable mention allleague honors. The remaining returners are juniors Taryn Long and Georgianna Pratley. Rounding out the roster is junior Abbie Hershock and sophomores Taylor Horn, Olivia Hancock, Morgan Tatrow, Natalie Tucker, and Natalie New-
man. After a 22-2 season a year ago which saw the team win the Interstate-8 League Championship as well as a district championship, the team's expectations remain high for the 2015-2016 season. The six new team members are quickly learning what is expected of them at the varsity level. I do feel the team will face some growing pains after losing two, three-year varsity players from last year, but I believe this is a very athletic group. Each team member is at least a two-sport athlete having lettered in another sport at Marshall High School. The team will face a challenging non-league schedule and within the league, Northwest and Harper Creek will challenge for the top spots.

Improved wrestlers look for breakout season By NICK ZUEHLKE MHS Wrestling Coach We have a very young but talented team. We may end up with six freshmen in the varsity line up which will cause us to take some bumps and bruises along the way but should pay off in the long run. We have a few older kids that I would like to see take that extra step and really improve from yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; past. We need them to step up and lead by example in order to be successful. We have the talent, we just need to believe in ourselves and really commit ourselves to putting in the effort and work to be a winning program. So far, I have been very pleased with the effort at practice and I can't wait to build on that as the season continues on. I think there's a chance of
us being on the top half of the conference if we have the right attitude.Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long and gruesome season and at district time, the teams that have improved the most have a chance the move forward. I think we can be that team if we continue to improve the way we have in practice so far. Several individuals have a chance to compete for championships at the conference tournament as well as district and regionals. As a coach, I have always set a goal to get someone to the individual state tournament and I feel this is as good a year as any. Top returners: Brendan Hankey (160 pounds), Ted McDonald (189), Corey Dexter (215), Owen Miller (285). Top newcomers: Noah Booton (103), Felipe Martinez (112), Brody Fitzgerald (119), Willie Couch (125), Wink McDonald (135)
