Columns Chamber Board has dissolved, but long live the Chamber

Editor’s Corner

by John Hendler One of the things I enjoy most about this job is sitting down with strangers, having a conversation with them and putting their story in print.

Last week, I had the good fortune to meet three individuals from different backgrounds who had one important thing in common: a true passion for what they are doing.

I found speaking with them and hearing their stories quite inspiring, but isn’t that usually the case when you meet somebody who lives with great passion?

Two of those individuals stories are in this week’s paper: Kelley Hunt, who is headlining next week’s Marshall Blues Festival, and Ed Talone, a hiker who passed through Marshall en route to North Dakota on the North Country Trail.

Talone came out and told me he doesn’t hike for the fame or for any financial gain, and although we didn’t talk about making money as a performer, it was obvious to me that Hunt does what she does because of her lifelong love of music and songwriting.

The same goes for Oaklawn Hospital RN Leslie Olmstead, who will be featured in next week’s ad-visor&chronicle. Olmstead decided at age 33 to become a nurse and believes this is what she was always meant to do.

I firmly believe no matter what you do in this life, one of the most important and enjoyable things you can do is follow your passion, whether it be for work or for hobby.

I think that one of the saddest things one can do is live a life without passion. My father was such a man.

Having faced the horrors of World War II on the front lines in Russia and losing his entire family in the war, he eventually came to the United States in 1962 and worked as a salesman. That’s all I ever knew him to do - 12 hours a day, six or sometimes seven days a week, selling goods out of his car. He never took a vacation, save for a three-day trip to Walt Disney World in 1973, and he never took a sick day.

Yes, he did take care of our family financially, and I will always be forever grateful for his sacrifice.

After retiring, he didn’t travel, he pursued no hobbies, had few, if any friends and was content to read the newspaper each morning and watch TV all day, essentially waiting for his life to be over.

I know this because that’s what he would tell me quite often.

After living through the hell of war, maybe just being able to exist was his passion.

I knew at a very young age that I wanted to be in media somehow, some way, whether it be as a writer, broadcaster or photographer, the latter inspired by my uncle, who was a professional photographer for nearly 50 years.

I tell myself I followed my passion because that is what makes life worth living, but sometimes I wonder if the real reason was because I just didn’t want to end up like my father.

I have always believed following one’s passion, whether for work or for hobby, allows us to be better in all facets of our lives and to feel that our lives have great meaning and purpose.

Bottom line: Be passionate about something. Anything.

And see how much happier you will be.

Until next week, may the good news be yours.

BY KEITH KEHLBECK Director of the Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce

What’s in a name? In the case of the Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce, the organizational title is one that carries a long tradition in our community. In Marshall, a Chamber of Commerce was originally organized in 1927, and its first official office was located on W. Michigan Ave. in the 1950s. Since then, the location, form and functions of the Chamber have evolved along with the Marshall community.

As reported last month by the ad-visor&chronicle, the Chamber membership overwhelmingly endorsed dissolution of the governing and corporate structure of the Chamber on June 4 and authorized the transfer of its assets, its name and its mission to the Marshall Area Economic Development Alliance. This step was the culmination of a process that began nearly two years ago and one that

the Chamber Board had unanimously endorsed in a series of votes, beginning last fall and confirmed again on June 24 of this year.

Some have characterized this as “doing away with” the Chamber. Nothing could be further from the truth. To paraphrase Mark Twain’s famous quote, “The reports of the Chamber’s death have been greatly exaggerated.” The good news is that the Chamber continues—in name, staffing and mission—moving forward under MAEDA leadership.

As a consequence of the member vote and the Board’s action(s), as of July 1, the operational aspects of the Chamber were placed under the purview of MAEDA, and the Chamber Board no longer serves to govern Chamber operations. The good news is that the MAEDA Board includes a number of former Chamber Board members, as well as a broader spectrum of Marshall commu-

nity representatives. The mission of the Chamber— to advance the commercial, industrial, civic and general interests of the city of Marshall—is specifically entrusted to MAEDA, with oversight from the County (which provides significant fiduciary support for tourism).

Some have asked if Chamber dues will continue. Yes, Chamber membership dollars still support the mission. Chamber benefits and functions remain in place. Networking events like “What’s Brewing Marshall?” are continuing and are now being held monthly. The staff in the Welcome Center is still there to greet visitors and citizens. Upcoming events are now featured weekly in the ad-visor&chronicle, on the Chamber website and through social media. Business consultations continue to occur. New members are being added, and new benefits are being explored. We continue to work with community stakeholders to en-

able and promote the iconic events for which Marshall is known. And, yes, the Annual Chamber Dinner and Michigan Week will occur next year.

In short—and with no pun intended—it’s “business as usual” with the Marshall Chamber.

For those businesses, individuals and nonprofits that are currently Chamber members, thank you for your continued support. For those who are considering membership, we welcome your participation.

While change is sometimes disconcerting, it also often brings renewal, focus and new opportunities. The Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce is no exception.

At the Chamber, we firmly believe that, as the old adage goes, “The best is yet to come.” With the community’s understanding and participation, this latest iteration of the Chamber ideal and mission will help make our community the place to live and visit.

Letters Education in Albion is the backbone of the town To the Editor: The following letter published last week in the Albion Recorder and was sent to the following school districts: Concord Community Schools, Homer Community Schools, Marshall Academy and Springport Public Schools. This letter is being printed in the ad-visor&chronicle with the author’s permission.

We have devoted our lives to the process of educating children. We also understand that receiving an education in your own

hometown and school district makes the learning process even more special.

A school in any community is its roots and foundation.

As school districts, we all strive to provide stellar education for our students.

Having made this statement, I must honestly say that as a superintendent of this educational community, it saddens me that we entice students from their home school districts to be a part of another school district. When we encourage students to leave their home districts, we are tearing

down and leaving holes in the tightly-knit fabric of our communities. Having said this, it is the wish and hope of the Albion Board of Education that school districts currently from Calhoun County and Jackson County that send buses into the Albion Public School District cease and desist immediately.

Although there is no law that prohibits you from sending buses into our school district zones, I would hope you would respect the wishes of Albion Public Schools, its Board of

Education and superintendent.

Education here in Albion is the backbone of our town and our livelihood. Sending buses in to support students leaving to attend other districts deprives us of the opportunity to serve our students, whatever their needs may be. I sincerely hope you will respect our wishes as superintendent and Board of Education of Albion Public Schools. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Jerri-Lynn Williams-Harper, Albion Superintendent

Opinions on Americans’ rights and freedoms To the Editor: The June 27, the U.S. Supreme Court decision to redefine marriage amounts to licensing sexual perversion.

On another topic, in discussing the right to bear arms, here is what the law says: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep

and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

The purpose of this law is to provide for “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state.” This is the same second amendment over which people clamor for the right to have military weapons in their house.

I don’t know if the government allowed citizens to bring their own guns

for fighting in the military since the War of 1812. I’m not even sure they did then.

It looks to me like hunting, target shooting and personal protection are a side benefit of the intent of the law.

Bill Tassie, Burlington

Vote against ‘fast track’ shows support for manufacturers To the Editor: America needs a strong manufacturing sector to sustain robust economy growth, one that creates new businesses, jobs, and opportunities for all. Manufacturing is responsible for 70 percent of US Research & Development, and often spins off entire new industries. But since 2000, American manufacturing has lost thousands of factories and 5 million

jobs. The top reason: poorly conceived “free trade” agreements that Washington has pushed, including NAFTA, CAFTA, Korea and China’s joining the World Trade Organization.

Given the record of job outsourcing and factory closings, it is troubling that Congress has just given President Obama “fast track” power to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal,

which will only lead to more job loss and higher trade deficits. Thankfully, Congressman Justin Amash was one of those who stood firmly against Fast Track. Thank you Rep. Amash for defending American manufacturing.

“I was training for a half marathon with my daughter when my knee pain became unbearable. I went to see an orthopedic specialist at Bronson Battle Creek. X-rays revealed my knee cartilage was completely gone. I’m young for a knee replacement, but there was no other option. I’m a mother of six. Life is hectic. I’m always looking after everyone. Now I was the one being looked after. The nurses are so dedicated. I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed such peace and quiet. Although Joint Camp was tough, I had the support I needed to flourish.

My doctor told me that when he saw the damage to my knee during surgery he couldn’t believe how long I put up with it. I just hope others experiencing this severe level of pain realize they can get help, too.”

Stephanie, Three Rivers, Michigan, August 26, 2014
