In The News: MPS Board passes budgets The Marshall Public Schools Board of Education approved the final version of the 2012-13 general fund budget at its June 24 business session as the district had to dip into its fund balance/cash reserve and use just over $1 million to balance the budget, leaving the fund balance at $180,210. The Board also approved food service funding and voted debt retirement budgets. During his presentation on the 2013-14 budget, Finance Director Scott Blankinship said that the projected fund balance for that budget is “virtually zero” at $194. See story on page 10

Pipeline protester could face two years in prison The man that holed himself up inside a new segment of Enbridge oil pipeline 6b on his 35th birthday for approximately 10 hours on June 24 as a sign of protest was arraigned in Calhoun County District Court the next day on charges of resisting police and trespassing. Christopher Wahmhoff of Kalamazoo faces a felony charge of resisting police that carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison as well as trespassing, a 90-day misdemeanor. Wahmhoff is scheduled to make his next court appearance on July 1. See story on page 41

Cruise to the Fountain is July 5-6 The 2013 Cruise to the Fountain participants and spectators will see changes this year as the annual event has new planners whose insight includes a fun-filled, packed weekend of events. “I’m really looking forward to the Cruise this year just to see how people react to the changes that are going to happen,” said Cruise Chairman Fred Waidelich. “There will be games, music, live entertainment, etc. I want people to say, ‘Wow, this was one heck of a Cruise.’” See story on page 34

Gov. Snyder visits area to push for Medicaid expansion Gov. Rick Snyder visited the Family Health Center in Battle Creek June 26 as part of a series of informational meetings regarding the proposed Healthy Michigan plan. “The Healthy Michigan plan is vital to the health of our families and the economic success of our state,” Snyder said. “Unfortunately, Michigan now faces a sense of urgency to approve the plan in light of the Senate’s failure to vote before taking a summer vacation. Healthy Michigan is a good step for our state. It will help build healthier families and a stronger Michigan.” See story on page 18

Emergency Response Team reaches out to community for volunteers The Calhoun County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) held a “Team Field Day and Celebration” at the Calhoun County Fairgrounds on June 26 to both recognize the efforts of their current volunteers and to try to recruit new ones. “The most important thing that comes out of today is awareness and preparedness,” said Emergency Management Division Director Durk Dunham. “...We might not be able to fill a stadium of perfectly prepared people, but these events re-enforce the message that preparedness equals safety and eventually it will save someone’s life.” See story on page 42

Apraxia Walk brings hope, awareness The first ever Marshall Walk for Childhood Apraxia of Speech, a neurological speech disorder, was held June 22 at the Calhoun County Fairgrounds with close to 100 participants coming out to support the cause. “The event was great,” said Apraxia Walk Organizer Ericha Boeneman. “It was better than I expected.” Walkers commented that seeing other kids overcome their struggle with apraxia was inspiring.

After open-heart surgery, simple things mean more. “I am a huge baseball fan and love traveling to away games. But I started getting winded just climbing the bleachers and in October a heart attack led me to open-heart surgery at Allegiance Health. I had nothing but confidence going in, because the surgeons explained everything so well. The staff took such good care of me that my family never even had to use my call light. Thanks to this wonderful heart team, I’ll be following my passion and my team every season!” – Diana Pitts To learn more about Allegiance Health’s heart and vascular services, or to read more stories, visit AllegianceHealth.org/SimpleThings.

Word on the Street

What’s your reaction to Supreme Court DOMA ruling? Editor’s Corner

On June 26, the U.S. Supreme Court voted 5-4 against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which now paves the way to allow legally married gay couples to receive federal benefits. What is your reaction to the ruling?

by John Hendler Thursday is Independence Day, our nation's 237th birthday. Rarely do we hear it referred to as Independence Day anymore, which would at least give us the insight of how the United States became a nation rather than just celebrating its birthday. There's a big difference between celebrating a birthday and celebrating independence, of which there seems to be less and less of these days. With each passing year, it seems the spirit of independence that started this nation and made it great is shrinking as more and more people look to the government to solve their ills and the government, in return, acts as their citizens' enablers. Don't worry about a thing. We're from the Government and we're here to help. In the Declaration of Independence, our Founding Fathers wanted to establish a government that derived their just powers from the consent of the governed and, if a government became destructive, it was the right of the people to alter or abolish it. Today, it seems that those voted to serve in Congress think they know better than the citizens that put them there and rather than act in their constituents' best interests, act in their own best interests, the constituent being just too naive to understand. You wouldn't understand. Just go back and distract yourselves with your gadgets and reality TV shows. We'll take care of everything. With each passing year, the federal government seemingly gets more involved in more and more aspects of our lives, making us anything but independent. Topping the list is the government's imminent involvement in our nation's healthcare system, where it's becoming more apparent that you may not be able to keep the coverage that you currently have down the road, as was promised. As we've seen in recent years in Europe, government's failure to follow through on keeping its unrealistic promises is beginning to suffocate the continent and its citizens with mountains upon mountains of debt. And it looks like that model is coming here, all because they know better, all the while sapping our independence until there will be a day where we wouldn't recognize independence if it slapped us across the face, yelling at us to wake up and look at what's happening. The more powerful government becomes, the more it will resemble King George's regime our Founding Fathers fought so hard to get away from. As written in the Declaration of Independence: A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be ruler of a free people. By all means, enjoy our nation's Independence Day, because the United States, thankfully, is still the greatest nation on earth, but the day is coming where we will have to decide once and for all if we want to remain truly free. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

Marshall fireworks: What to expect on certain holidays By JIM SCHWARTZ MPD Police Chief There are several holidays and special occasions when fireworks are most prevalent. With one of the most notable holidays, Independence Day, arriving shortly on July 4, we experience many questions about the use, purchase and restrictions of fireworks. I want to take this opportunity to explain what is allowed to be purchased and used in the State of Michigan. I will also explain the days when these fireworks can be used in the city of Marshall. Michigan passed a law, MCL 28.45, allowing certain classes of fireworks to be purchased and used within the state. As a result

of this law, Marshall proposed a city ordinance to further regulate the use of these fireworks. Marshall had a Fireworks Ordinance (134.30) and needed to update the current law to be compliant. Therefore, Marshall enacted the following ordinance on June 18, 2012. The ordinance allows only consumer fireworks to be used and they are described as devices that are designed to produce visible effects by combustion, that are required to comply with the construction, chemical composition and labeling regulations promulgated by the United States Consumer Products Safety Commission under 16 CFR parts 1500 and 1507 and that are listed in APA standard 87-1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 3.5. Consumer fireworks does not include low-impact fireworks. Ordinance 134.30 states: No person shall ignite, discharge or use consumer fire-

works within the limits of the city of Marshall except on a national holiday, as defined in this ordinance or on the day preceding or the day after a national holiday. “National Holiday” shall mean: • New Years Day, Jan. 1 • Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the third Monday in January • Washington’s Birthday (Presidents Day), the third Monday in February • Memorial Day, the last Monday in May • Independence Day, July 4 • Labor Day, the first Monday in September • Columbus Day, the second Monday in October • Veterans Day, Nov. 11 The ordinance does allow for persons, firms or corporations to apply for special permits for use of agricultural or wildlife fireworks, article pyrotechnics, display fireworks or special effects

manufactured for outdoors if this ordinance and MCL 28.451 are complied with. If a special use permit is requested, the person, firm or corporation applying for the permit shall furnish proof of financial responsibility by bond or insurance to protect claims for damages to property or personal injuries, etc. One of the other complaints around this time of year is the noise that results from the fireworks. The Marshall Police Department will respond to noise complaints but with the laws allowing fireworks we attempt to use discretion. We will request that fireworks cease late evening/early morning hours or under certain emergency circumstances sooner. Please be respectful of neighbors and more importantly all fireworks should be monitored by an adult. Extreme care and caution is a must when dealing with any pyrotechnics.
