In The News:

Marshall, Albion working together to make smooth transition for students With the clock ticking for when Albion middle school students will begin attending Marshall Middle School, staff and leadership hit the ground running in the first days back from winter break. Marshall Middle School Principal Dave Turner and some of his staff visited the Albion Community School for a couple days last week meeting with students and helping parents register their children to attend MMS beginning on Jan. 25. See story on page 9 MAEDA Board seeks input on selection of new CEO The Marshall Area Economic Development Alliance (MAEDA) Board is continuing its process of transitioning from tourism, the Chamber and small business services provided by Southwest Michigan First to hiring its own Chief Executive Officer and contracting with Southwest Michigan First only for specific economic development services. The MAEDA Board is seeking public participation in the process of choosing the next CEO. The two finalists will participate in a public forum evaluation process to be held on Jan. 22 at 3 p.m. See story on page 6 Dog park could become a reality A project that has been on Marshall’s wish list for many years could now become a reality thanks to the dream of Marshall resident Mike Nokes. On Jan. 4, Nokes addressed the Marshall City Council to discuss his initial plans for establishing a dog park in the city. “Studies have found that dog parks are not a thing for just dogs, but a social thing for people as well,” Nokes said. “We want to make a premier dog/people park, something that looks really nice that is an actual park element. And from talking to people in the community, it sounds like this project is ready to jump into action now.” See story on page 6 Rising Star: Marshall 13-year-old Levon Davis takes his shot at a national title Levon Davis is not your typical teenager. The 13-year-old, who resides in Marshall, is an upand-coming figure skater who travels to Canton (80 miles) each morning at 5:30 a.m. for three hours of practice and lessons. And on Jan. 16 in Minneapolis, Levon will go for his first national title. See story on page 20 CEO Brian Decorah is also named president at FireKeepers Casino Hotel Brian Decorah, who has been leading the FireKeepers Casino Hotel team as Chief Executive Officer since July, has also been named president. On Jan. 4, Homer A. Mandoka, Tribal Council chairman of the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi made the announcement. See story on page 14 Calhoun County Farm Bureau looks ahead with wonder 2015 closed with a new leader at the helm of the County Farm Bureau. Andrea Boughton was elected president at the September organizational meeting. Boughton, part of a third-generation family farm near Marshall, will work with the Calhoun County Farm Bureau Board of Directors to represent, protect and enhance the business, economic, social and educational interests of its farmer members. 2016 looks to be another busy year for farmers, both in the fields, in the livestock barns, in classrooms and at conferences.

aving just finished Phase One of its renovation, the Marshall District Library now has the space to increase its collection of books, CDs and DVDs by more than 10,000. The entire site has been reconfigured and patrons will find welcoming niches around every corner for reading, thinking or daydreaming. By mid-February, the final touches on the computer area will be complete and the staff is planning an open house for the public. Having their own kind of fun in their new space, are, from left, young patrons Franklin Rogers, 5, Vaughn Apthorpe, 18 months, and O’Hara Apthorpe, 3, with librarian Kelly Dykwell who is story-sharing in the rowboat that is still in the kids area.

Columns Obama’s executive pen crosses out cooperation

Editor’s Corner by John Hendler I was at the Albion Community School one day last week and sat down to talk with Albion community leader Harry Bonner and Marshall Middle School Principal Dave Turner about the expanded cooperative agreement that will send Albion’s sixth through eighth graders to Marshall Middle School beginning on Jan. 25. Several students joined us at the table to hear what they had to say about the upcoming change. Basically, the students are yes, excited about the the benefits, but, they are also (understandably) nervous about going to a new school in the middle of the school year. Who wouldn’t be? I cannot even imagine being in those students’ shoes, being 12 or 13 years old and being sent to a different school 15 miles away, essentially having no say in the matter. Sixth grader A’tiyah Artis succinctly summed it up: “I don’t like the idea of having to up and move because of something that had nothing to do with me,” she said. “We’re the ones moving. It’s not the teachers that are moving. It’s not the board that is moving. It’s not the school that’s moving. It’s the students in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. Do they (the adults) really care about what we have to say and what we think about it?” Yes, what has happened in Albion over the past decade is truly tragic, and as is usually the case when the adults screw things up, it is the kids that are forced to deal with the consequences. But, there are better days ahead. As we saw when Albion’s high school students started attending Marshall High School in 2013, the kids took matters into their own hands and forged new friendships with other students as well as with teachers and coaches. Yes, there will be nervousness as Jan. 25 approaches, but Turner and his staff are making sure they leave no stone unturned in making sure the Albion students feel welcomed and are taken care of socially, as well as educationally. I hope when these kids look back on this transition, they will feel that this was the turning point in their education that enabled them to go places academically that they had never even dreamed of. Marshall Superintendent Randy Davis has proven time and gain to be the visionary and lead MPS into the role of leader for the region. Is it any wonder why he was chosen as a finalist for the state superintendent position last year? So yes, these are challenging times, but Albion and Marshall students and parents, trust that you are in good hands. This next chapter is off to a good start. As the late legendary baseball manager Sparky Anderson once said: Good seasons start with good beginnings. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

By FRED JACOBS Publisher and CEO, J-Ad Graphics As it plays out, a president’s annual state of the union address to Congress tends to be largely symbolic. The nation’s leader goes to Capitol Hill and, before a joint session of the House and the Senate, reports on the condition of the nation and the legislative plan he (or she) plans for the coming year. I like the symbolism. The fact that the president goes to Congress to make the remarks is the physical suggestion that a president needs the assistance of the House and the Senate to implement the plans drawn up to address challenges and to create a viable vision for the future. That’s why I’m shaking my head in frustration thinking about President Obama’s visit to Congress Tuesday night to deliver the final state of the union address of his presidency, especially after seeing him return from a two-week vacation and hearing him draw a line in the sand with the Congress over his determination to make gun control part of his presidential legacy. I applaud him for his drive to find an end to the horror of 32,000 Americans dying each year from gun violence, but I question his tactic of using executive authority to bypass Congress, which has continually opposed his plans. Three years ago, Obama called for more gun control, vowing to use whatever power he had to prevent more shootings like the one by Adam Lanza that took 27 lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, including 20 children. Since then, there have been a number of additional mass shootings the most recent, of course, the Dec. 2 attack in San Bernadino, Calif., that took 14 lives and injured 21 more at an office Christmas party. The president’s return to Washington, D.C., this week and his vow to use his pen to defy Congress and to impose additional gun ownership restrictions coincides with the

fifth anniversary of the shooting of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Arizona and the death of six innocent bystanders and wounding of 13 more. Obama’s tearful — and I would grant, heartfelt — sentiment this week to those innocents and their families who have been victimized by gun violence is certainly a start to addressing this national crisis. I worry, though, that his plans to address it, particularly by defying a Congress whose cooperation could help accomplish something so much more significant, is not enough. Why hasn’t the president, for instance, called for increased support for people with mental issues, the people who, authorities say, are behind these abhorrent mass shootings? What has he done to increase support to law enforcement agencies that deal with terrorists issues? Instead, what we hear is a constant rant for more laws on gun ownership. In last month’s San Bernadino tragedy, the husband-andwife perpetrators purchased their guns legally. Within a few days after the shootings, authorities found homemade pipe bombs, ammunition, weapons and the equipment necessary to construct more improvised explosive devices — again, all legally purchased. Clearly, this tragedy had nothing to do with how the couple purchased their guns — it was all about what they had planned to do with them. To me, as to the authorities who reached the conclusion first, this was more a case of terrorism than it was a gun issue. So what does Obama hope to achieve as he begins the countdown to his time in office? Is he using gun control as a political stunt to help Democratic candidates gain support for their party? The bigger issue for a growing number of Americans is safety and the threat that terrorism has on all of us. In recent months, there’s been a growing concern over attending large venues like sports arenas, concerts where thousands gather to enjoy themselves. Most of

these venues have increased security and planning prior to holding large events, and it’s changed the way we think about where we go and what we do. But does that really have anything to do with gun legislation? The gun-control stand that the president is taking with his executive authority pen is but another witless example of how once again he’s putting up a wall between himself and the Congress with whom he needs so badly to work. By subverting the legal process, he poisons a political relationship that will certainly carry over to so many other unrelated but vital issues that this country needs to address. A spokeswoman for newly appointed House Speaker Paul Ryan said the White House hasn’t contacted them about potential new gun-control legislation. “The administration has not communicated with us, and we have not been briefed,” said AshLee Strong, a Ryan spokesperson. “We will consider the options once we have information, but what seems apparent is none of these ideas would have prevented the recent atrocities. Our focus should be on the consistent causes of these acts — mental illnesses and terrorism — rather than infringing on law-abiding Americans’ constitutional rights.” A state of the union address allows a president to build alliances and bridge divides. Why would Obama use whatever political capital he has left to drive a wedge between his legislative counterparts? He should focus on forging a stronger relationship with Ryan to see if they can find some common ground on issues rather than using his executive orders that aren’t the law, and could end up in lawsuits that render his executive orders worthless. It’s apparent that Obama is frustrated with Congress, but how does he expect to get anything done in his last months if he continues to thwart the legislative process? The president may be right in his assessment that

Congress is abdicating its responsibility to deal with gun issues. But our country is based on the rule of law and founded by leaders who were determined to define where their responsibilities lay. I do not believe the government they designed called for three branches of government in opposition to each other. If the president wants changes in gun laws, then he must use his bully pulpit to convince Congress to act and send him the required legislation. For any president to act on his or her own changes the rule of law; it bypasses our right as citizens to a representative government. This president wasn’t elected king — our founders understood the perils of zealous leadership and put into place separations that we must follow regardless of how difficult it becomes. So, as these final months of the Obama’s Administration begin, my concern focuses on how much of our president’s effectiveness will be lost due to his lack of leadership in working across the aisle to find solutions to the biggest issues facing our country. I don’t see guns at the top of the list. I see the economy, terrorism and safety resounding as top priorities for most Americans. Complicating prospects for progress is that this new year brings another election in which most of the needed discourse and compromise gets lost in the political noise and rhetoric. For most of us hard-working Americans, that means we can expect very little to get done until we close the books on the Obama Administration and get on to a new viewpoint from a new perspective and a new administration. We’ll likely not see the tears from our president that we saw Tuesday when he so passionately announced his mission to institute gun-control measures by executive order, but there will be tears. They’ll be falling from the eyes of Americans frustrated by a government mired in the quicksand of obstinacy and sputter.

Drivers, please watch your speed on Spruce St.

To the Editor: While standing in my front yard on Christmas morning, a small car came barreling down W. Spruce St. at a high rate of speed. Lucky for you, you were traveling too fast for me to obtain your plate number. I stood frozen as I witnessed a squirrel run from my yard into the intersection, and you blindsided him without ever touching your brakes, as you sped on. It broke my heart as I watched him twitch and die. My initial reaction was that if I had had immediate access to a vehicle, I would have sped after you and exhibited a little vigilante justice with a baseball bat. However, I quickly deemed that choice as unacceptable

and unwise as I was reluctant to subject myself to a negative interaction with the local authorities. I feed many animals in my yard daily; squirrels, birds, cats, skunks, raccoons, possum and deer. I hate to believe that my generosity places all these critters in harms way. I hate to see God’s creatures maimed and slaughtered needlessly. It’s a straight shot from Monroe St. to S. Marshall Ave. and all throughout the day speeders take full advantage of it. I watch kids race down S. Madison St. headed for the middle school. It could have easily have been a child that you met in that intersection and you would most likely be facing a

manslaughter charge. I also watch several seniors in front of Marshall House Apartments enjoying a smoke and some have told me they fear for their lives when vehicles speed down the street and careen into the Marshall House parking lot. If you experienced a flat tire or anything that caused you to lose control of your vehicle, you could very well wipe out several people. This concerns me greatly as they are my friends. Please watch your speed on Spruce St. and be aware that I, and others, are watching you. Vicki Lautenslager, Marshall

Redhawks Baseball and Softball Boosters’ 6th annual fundraiser Snow is still on the baseball and softball diamonds, but friends and supporters of the Marshall High School programs are not waiting for a thaw to help the Redhawk teams prepare for their upcoming spring season. To raise money for the program, the Marshall Baseball and Softball Boosters are hosting their sixth annual fundraiser and cash drawing on Feb. 6 from 6-10 p.m. at the Marshall Moonraker, 11401 17 Mile Road (Old 27 South). Tickets cost $50, and include a spaghetti/pizza dinner and libations provided by the Moonraker. Only 198 tickets will be sold (two tickets kept to be auctioned at the start of the draw), and participants could win between $25 and $1000 on the main drawing. Cash prizes will be given every 25 draws and there are lots of other prizes to be given away as well. Some prizes in the past have been four boxed seats to any MLB baseball game where Marshall resident Bill Welke is the umpire (coordinated with him), autographed baseballs, various items from Mel’s Allsport and FUG along with many gift certificates from area businesses. If someone decides to auction their ticket and yours has been drawn, you may have an opportunity to buy a winning number at the highest bid.

Winners need not be present, except for cash boards and raffles, which provide another opportunity to win. The drawings will be held in the lower level banquet room at the Moonraker. Proceeds from the fundraiser will be used to buy new equipment, uniforms, and diamond upkeep along with helping fund the baseball team and their spring trip south. “We are looking to make some necessary improvements to our complexes, including a warm-up area for pitchers, new dugouts, and new outfield fencing ,” said varsity softball coach Anthony Miller. “The teams rely on support from the community, and the Boosters want to make sure that our program is the very best,” said Softball Booster Deb Jarvis. “With everyone’s help, we know this season will be a great success.” Come chase the winter doldrums with some conviviality in support of a worthy cause—Marshall High School baseball and softball.To purchase tickets, contact any softball/baseball parent, Anthony Miller at Walters Elementary, amiller@mar shallpublicschools.org, Jason Bushong at jbushong@mar shallpublicschools,org, Tom Sharpley at 269-274-6679 or Deb Jarvis, debajarvis@hot mail.com orcall 269-420-3620.
