In The News: City Council to discuss electric rate increase at April 21 public hearing The Marshall City Council scheduled a public hearing for April 21 for a proposed amendment to increase electric rates that, if approved, would be effective in May. “These rates will be competitive with other local rates,” said Director of Public Services Carl Fedders. For average users the change is estimated to be: $5.11 for residential (600kwh usage); $14 for Commercial B (2,500 kwh); and $120.20 for Commercial C (15,000 kwh +40kW). Industrial rates will remain the same. See story on page 10

Word on the Street

What are you looking forward to this spring? With the weather finally beginning to cooperate, the ad-visor&chronicle asked these six people what things they were looking forward to most this spring.

Editor’s Corner by John Hendler I remember a while back reading about how the Department of Labor was ready to invoke a rule that would apply child-labor laws to children working on family farms, prohibiting them from performing a list of jobs on their own families’ land. Under the rule, children under 18 could no longer work in the storing, marketing and transporting of farm product raw materials. Apparently, prohibited places of employment would include country grain elevators, grain bins, silos, livestock exchanges and livestock auctions. Apparently, after an article from the Daily Caller went viral and under pressure from farming advocates, the Labor Department backed down. By the way, the new regulations would have also revoked the government’s approval of safety training and certification taught by independent groups like 4-H and FFA, replacing them instead with... drumroll please... a 90-hour federal government training course. Government Knows Best. Wasn’t that the old TV show with Robert Young? If those rules were implemented, you know that it would have only been a matter of time before kids wouldn’t be allowed to also mow their parents’ lawn, rake leaves or do laundry. I’m just kidding. Sort of. Kids doing laundry? Handling detergent and bleach? Wait for the government to step in, citing dangerous chemicals. How about kids folding clothes? The government will just have to intervene to make sure steps are taking to prevent carpal tunnel. Kids raking leaves? Sure, if you want them to suffer back pain, curvature of the spine or bunions. Before long, kids would no longer be allowed to experience the value of good, old-fashioned work. I remember as a kid, my dad would tell me, (not even ask me) to take care of the weeds in the yard (and siphon gas out of the car for the lawn mower). There I’d be in the pre-weed wacker days, on my knees, getting my hands dirty, engaging in the repetitive motion of pulling weeds, sans knee pads, gloves, goggles and a helmet. As much as I hated doing that and other chores, there was a method to my parents’ madness, something I didn’t truly appreciate until years later. There is something rewarding about good, old fashioned hard work, something that is ever-increasingly missing from young people’s lives today. What will there be for today’s kids to appreciate about their childhood years from now? Oh yes, the government, for keeping them free from doing chores. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

Andrea Musselman, Coldwater "Enjoying the nice weather and being outside. I can’t wait to go antiquing and to flea markets.”

"I’m just looking forward to not being cooped up anymore and playing some music outside with my garage rock band.”

"Gardening with my dad. We have a small section of new vegetables that we plant each year.”

"Being done with winter! I’m looking forward to enjoying time outside with my friends, hanging out at bonfires.”

"Gardening worms and composting. We use it for the garden. I’m also looking forward to bike riding.”

Grateful for knowledge of how to protect, preserve photos To the Editor: On April 12, I attended a lecture at the Marshall District Library regarding the correct procedures for the preservation of photographs,

slides, etc. This was sponsored by the Marshall Historical Society. The presentation was delightful, informative, enticing and entertaining. Thank

you Ann Rhodes and the Marshall Historical Society for making this possible. It surely helped me in my endeavor to preserve a “gazillion” photos and slides from

the late 1800s to date and I’m grateful for that. Mary H. Lee, Marshall

Columns Law that helps people...Postal service crimes By GEORGE M. STRANDER Ingram County Court Administrator and Probate Register

Seventh in a series. You’ve probably heard that it’s a “federal offense” to open someone else’s mailbox or tamper with someone’s mail. As it turns out, there is a large variety of postal crimes listed in the federal criminal code. In this article, we will start to take a look at these offenses. Post a l Ser vice offen ses: Postal Service workers themselves are subject to criminal prosecution if they culpably fail in any of their duties. Offenses by employees or officers of the postal service itself are not what we typically think of when we consider postal crimes, but for sake of completeness we mention them here. A postal worker who voluntarily deserts mail that he or she has taken

control of, or who delays or destroys mail, can be fined or imprisoned. [18 U.S. Code, 1700, 1703] For those of you who remember the Seinfeld episode where Newman (a letter carrier in the sitcom) is discovered to have hidden bags of mail in a storage facility, there is a humorous example of this kind of infraction. The theft of mail matter, misappropriation of postal funds and issuance of money orders without payment are all additional postal worker offenses. [18 U.S. Code, 1709, 1711, 1713] O b st r u ct ion of t h e m a il: The federal criminal code punishes anyone who “knowingly or willfully obstructs or retards the passage of mail or any carrier or conveyance carrying the mail.” [18 U.S. Code 1701] There are limits to the application of this general statute, as shown by the famous 19th Century U.S. Supreme Court case, U.S. v. Kirby [74 U.S. 482]. In the Kirby case, a mail carrier – Farris — was indicted in 1867 in state court for murder and the state court judge issued a bench warrant to the lo-

cal sheriff – Kirby — to have Farris picked up. In response to Kirby acting on the warrant, the federal government indicted sheriff Kirby for “knowingly and willfully obstructing or retarding the passage of mail” (the law then as it is now) because apprehending a mail carrier prevented him from doing his job. The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Kirby’s indictment for obstructing the mail was unwarranted. The Court concluded that laws such as the obstruction-of-mail offense should always be read so as to avoid unjust, oppressive, or absurd consequences. In this case, even though sheriff Kirby literally did obstruct Farris in carrying out his duties, the latter’s apprehension under a warrant for a serious crime was an understood exception. Next t im e: In my next article, I will outline additional postal crimes, including those that deal with items that the postal service bans from being mailed.

The Marshall High School girls varsity soccer team opened its season with a 5-2 home victory over Charlotte April 14. Tristan Tobias, above left, had two goals for the Redhawks. Also scoring for Marshall were Lauren Feasel, above right (at Gull Lake Aptil 16), Tierra Orban and Taryn Long. Feasel also had an assist as did Sydney Reichenbaugh, Chelsea Tobias and Audrey Myers."For our first time out I thought we played extremely well, moving the ball around and keeping everyone involved,” said coach Adrian Harkey. “We kept a lot of pressure on Charlotte's defense and we were very aggressive going to goal. We had a couple of lapses on defense but those are very fixable. We were very pleased with the result." At Gull Lake, Marshall lost to the defending Div. 2 state champions, 8-0.
