In The News: Christine McComb is new MPS Board trustee At its Oct. 12 work session, the Marshall Public Schools Board of Education appointed Christine McComb as its new trustee, filling the vacancy created when longtime trustee Dan Stulberg stepped down last month. McComb, who works as a secretary to the Calhoun County administrator and deputy clerk for the Board of Commissioners, will finish out the final year of Stulberg’s six-year term with the seat being up for election in Nov. 2016. See story on page 7 Olivet Agriculture Literacy Day teaches kids about FFA, farming On Oct. 9, the Olivet FFA taught more than 750 elementary students from Calhoun County about where their food comes from during the annual Agricultural Literacy Day held at the Calhoun County Fairgrounds in Marshall. The following schools attended the event: Bellevue, Marshall, St. Joseph, Olivet, Pennfield-Dunlap, Wattles Park, Beadle Lake, Mar Lee, RiversideLakeview and Albion. Each school group spent about five minutes at each station learning about the different animals and machinery’s purposes and uses on the farm. See story on page 40 Accessible gardening blooms in Marshall Some people find it hard or impossible to bend down and plant in the earth but they still want to grow things. The solution is to bring the gardens up to their level. Several accessible planters have recently been created and installed at Marshall homes for the elderly - planters that can be reached from wheelchairs or walkers. See story on page 34 Next black walnut hulling is Oct. 24 Marshall and its surrounding areas are home to more than 600 black walnut trees. And, according to conservation expert Brian Huggett, and the late Euell Gibbons, “some parts are edible.” In order to get to the nut meat, the Potawatomi Resource Conservation and Development Council will host an event at the Calhoun County Fairgrounds on Saturday, Oct. 24 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. where it will run walnuts through one of its hullers to remove the sticky green ‘shell.’ See story on page 42 MACS gathers donations in Marshall Stuff the Bus is Saturday, Oct. 24, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Marshall Family Fare. The Marshall Lions Club and First Baptist Church are the co-partners for the event designed to help fill the MACS pantry just in time for the holidays. See story on page 36 Marshall football clinches playoff spot The Marshall High School varsity football team earned a playoff berth for the first time since 2012 following a 49-0 win over Northwest on Oct. 9. The victory was Marshall’s fifth straight and sixth of the season. See sports section on pages 37-39 MHS celebrates with Homecoming Parade, naming of 2015 King and Queen Marshall High School celebrated its Homecoming festivities Oct 9. with the first Homecoming Parade in many years and named Alec Kraushaar and Cheyenne Payne this year’s Homecoming King and Queen during halftime at the varsity football game.

s part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, on Oct. 22 and Oct. 24, hundreds of men will be seen walking at Albion College and the Lakeview Square Mall in Battle Creek in high heels. To some, that may be a strange sight, but participants have said the pain is worth the gain. These men are raising funds for SAFE Place, a domestic violence shelter in Battle Creek, when they Walk A Mile In Her Shoes. SAFE Place Board members and local law enforcement personnel plan to take a stand against domestic violence during the event. From left, Battle Creek Fire Battalion Chief Mike Fleisher; Battle Creek firefighter Jim Mervyn; Emmett Twp.

ad-visor&chronicle – October 17, 2015 – Page 3
Thank you, readers, for continuing to value community news ROGER GRAVES SR. Former Marshall police chief The Marshall ad-visor&chronicle is part of my Saturday morning ritual. I usually read the electronic edition with my morning coffee. In fact, I have never missed a Saturday edition. I especially enjoy reading the school sports section as it covers all of the local sports activities for the week. Having had or still have six grandchildren in the school system who are active in the various sports teams makes it that much more special. The coverage is great. I also enjoy the coverage of the local government activities, Calhoun County, city of Marshall and the Marshall School Board. It keeps me up to date on what's going on in our community. The ad-visor&chronicle is a local resource I could never get along without. ALISON YARGER Marshall Police Department clerk The ad-visor&chronicle creates and builds a sense of community and reinforces it as it absolutely reflects our neighborhood, small-town pride. Everyone loves reading about neighbors, friends and family and the ad-visor&chronicle instills happiness in the people because of the stories written. The sports coverage is fantastic, which builds pride in the athletes and the school system; the coverage of the theatre, music programs, community programs, parades, our local fair, 4-H programs, fund raisers – with all of this, the ad-visor&chronicle generates a feeling of wanting to do and learn more. It keeps everyone abreast of the wonderful events happening in our town. The political community, the police and fire, the programs offered, the events – it aids participation in all of these areas. We are incrediblyadvantaged to have a hometown newspaper! KELLY FENELEY Local attorney I look forward every week to perusing the ad-visor&chronicle. It keeps me informed about community events. I feel more connected to my community because I always see familiar faces in our paper. Articles about people that I know involved in interesting things in our community and around the world! KAREN HARGERTY Former Marshall resident I used to walk to the mailbox each Wednesday (back in the day) to get the Ad-visor when I was very young and read through the whole thing. Friends and family were always clipped out and put on our refrigerator. I have always loved knowing what is going on in my community and still do. I evolved with them to the advisor&chonicle on Saturdays, and now I read it online! Being away in Burbank, Calif. gave me an even bigger need to keep up with the community, and I have always read each issue cover to cover appreciating all the great hometown news!
DALE ROSENE Retired teacher
When we are away from the area, we always read the ad-visor&chronicle online, whether when we are in Florida for the winter or even when we traveled to Italy and France last year. I especially like the coverage of the schools, events in the schools as well as concerts. I also like the excellent coverage of the sports. With fundraising becoming so important in small communities, the ad-visor&chronicle is one of the best ways to get the word out and get people involved. JACK REED Marshall mayor The ad-visor&chronicle is my local news. I love reading it because I know everyone in the paper, and I know everyone reads it. The circulation is huge! Also, I can submit an article, and it will be there in the next addition. The ad-visor&chronicle is important to the Marshall community because it covers all the local events, which there are many.
LORA FINCH Homer FFA
ANGELA SEMIFERO Marshall District Library director Each weekend, I truly enjoy sitting down with the ad-visor&chronicle to find out what is happening in the community. There is such a huge variety of activities and events in the Marshall and Albion area that it’s amazing that one newspaper can be such a presence at each of them. As a librarian, it is often part of my work to find the quickest resource to access information. The ad-visor&chronicle is a very accessible source in both its print and electronic editions. I appreciate the time that the ad-visor&chronicle writers take in not only compiling information, but in creating something special each week that brings the people of the area together.

I look forward to the ad-visor&chronicle each week because I like the “community" focus of the articles. It is really nice to see all the good things people in our area are doing. I think it is important for Marshall and the surrounding areas to continue to have a free newspaper. The Internet, social media and technology are great, but I still enjoy reading a real, paper version of the news.

Letters Thanks to all who made Healthy Babies Day a success
Editor’s Corner by John Hendler After watching the first Democratic candidate debate last week, a few things became painfully obvious. For starters, barring Joe Biden’s entry into the race, Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic Party’s nominee in 2016, as the former first lady mopped the floor with her “opponents” during the Oct. 13 debate. Actually, there really wasn’t much opposition as her only serious threat, at least in the polls of New Hampshire, Sen. Bernie Sanders, showed he was not really interested in defeating Clinton after his rant on being tired of hearing about Clinton’s e-mails and in essence, coming to Clinton’s rescue on the topic that night. As for Martin O’Malley, his performance was so forgettable. He is so unremarkable that I actually forgot that he was the mayor of Baltimore when I lived there in the late 1990s. Former Sen. Lincoln Chafee seemed confused and confounded on the stage, reminiscent of the late naval vice admiral James Stockdale in the vice presidential debate of 1992. (By the way, how many of you know that Stockdale was the highest ranking naval officer held as a prisoner in North Vietnam, where he was held for seven years?) Then there was another military hero, former Sen. Jim Webb, who seemed to be the only one on that stage talking about real issues and didn’t spend most of the debate bending over backwards pandering to African Americans or illegal immigrants and promising lots of free stuff while damning capitalism, praising socialism and criticizing and scapegoating those who have been financially successful. Except those, of course, who are celebrities, athletes and those who agree with them. The problem for Webb was that he showed up 40 years too late. If this were 1975, he would have been the star of the show. Instead, he was viewed as some kind of weirdo, while the others, spouting off nonsense, especially Clinton and Sanders, were applauded, cheered and treated like rock stars. There was no mention of ISIS, minimal mentions of Russia and Iran and Webb was the only one to bring up the threat China poses. To here the others speak, you would think that there hadn’t been a Democratic president in office the past seven years, the way they were complaining about the economy, wages and social issues. Oh, and reiterating their promises of free stuff. Is it too much to ask for a candidate of substance? Why couldn’t they promise that? Until next week, may the good news be yours.
To the Editor: The Albion Healthy Babies Day Committee sends a big thank you to all the many organizations, churches, volunteers, child care workers, foundations, library, businesses, schools and individuals who helped
in so many ways to make our 7th Annual Healthy Babies Day a huge success. What started as an outreach ministry of the Albion First United Methodist Church has become an outpouring of help, both financially and service, from
many different aspects of the our greater community. There are too many people to individually thank, but we appreciate all of you. Thank you very much. Over 50 moms, plus dads, children, grandmothers, friends and family participated in
the learning process of parenting, while having a good time. God bless you all. Sharon Hostetler, Chairperson, Healthy Babies Day Committee Albion
Oaklawn Hospital, continue to work diligently To the Editor: An open letter to Ginger Williams, CEO of Oaklawn Hospital: This is to express my profound feelings for my recent stay at Oaklawn Hospital. A very special thanks to surgeon,
Dr. Caron Warnsby. Even more special are the nurses and aides who worked the third floor shifts. What an extraordinary experience. Is it any wonder why Oaklawn continues to garner awards as one of the premier small hospitals in our coun-
try? Please work diligently to maintain the quality of the entire staff. Charles Leonard, Marshall
Enjoy autumn’s splendor, beauty while it lasts To the Editor: Rejoice as autumn’s splendor returns to our county. Much of our rural landscape is being negatively transformed. Climate changes, exotic botanic invaders, fracking effluents, animal feed lot pollution, toxic waste dumps and dieoffs of native tree species are taking rapid tolls on our environment. Big agribusiness clears hedgerow wildlife habitats and drains wetlands into stagnant pools. Much is at risk for survival. Pope Francis speaks of the disappearance of both nat-
ural and human cultural ecologies here and worldwide by run amok monopoly capitalism’s greed and ideological hostility to outmoded value and faith traditions. How can this be restrained? As always by small groups that despite great odds persist to make efforts to preserve natural/human ecologies. This autumn plan a colortour trek to remember what is at risk of loss. Drive along the Kalamazoo (Enbridge reclaimed) Rivershed from Marshall’s picturesque fairground Maple Grove Chapel
to Wilder Creek stone castle woodland conservancy, the Vermont style restored East Eckford 1860 church, 22 Mile Rd. at F Dr. S. and to Marengo Village, Union Church, built in 1853, the oldest frame New Englandstyle rural meeting house in the region. This obscure treasure of pioneer days is rapidly deteriorating with belfry weather damage (raccoon nests) and a leaking sieve roof. Rev. Jerry Retzloff’s small flock struggles to raise funds to restore the classic township anchor landmark. Sadly, it may rot
away due to local indifference. We need to redeem America’s natural and human ecologies as counseled by Pope Francis and as demonstrated by concerned folks seeking to make positive differences to sustain hope and beauty. Take photos. Enjoy autumn as it vanishes so quickly. Its present glory may not exist in future generations without valiant stewardship. “Where have all the elm trees gone?” Carl Davidson, Marshall
Was there a winner at the Democratic debate? To the Editor: Last week, the Democrats held its first presidential debates and the winner was…I am not sure because no one really said anything that amounted to any-
thing. They want you to vote like Congress did with Obamacare. “Vote yes and we will tell you later what’s in it.” I like Dr. Carson because he has a real

“When I first saw my dad in the hospital, I was so scared. He wasn’t able to walk, talk or even feed himself. I knew immediately that we needed to transfer him to Bronson Methodist Hospital — even though he lived more than 200 miles away. I work with the Bronson Neuroscience team and I knew that his best chance of recovery would be here. Today, my dad can do everything that he did before. He’s building stuff. He’s driving. He is just full of life. I’m so proud of my dad for how he’s come through this. And I’m so thankful to Bronson for the care he received. I’ll be forever grateful.” Tish, Battle Creek, Michigan Daughter of Placido, Saginaw, Michigan
