MPS to explore restructuring ofelementary schools
After hearing a presentation on the 2013-14Marshall Public Schools budget, Superintendent Dr.Randy Davis, at the Dec. 10 Board of Educationmeeting, acknowledged that the district is in a “toughsituation” and that the district would need to look atstructural changes. “One of those structural changeswe need to bring forward for community input is thereorganization and restructuring of (the district’s)elementary schools,” said Davis. “It’s going to be realimportant for us to think that process throughclearly...” Davis said there would be Boarddiscussion on the matter as well as open forums forthe community to weigh in on the matter in thecoming weeks. On Dec. 12, in an effort to quellrumors that restructuring had already been decidedon, Davis sent out a district-wide e-mail on thematter.See story on page 20

After the recent death of Marshall native BrittanyDespins, who was killed in an automobile accident,Marshall resident Sally Tewell felt compelled to dosomething to help the family and friends who weregrieving. “I didn’t know her, but we had a lot offriends in common on Facebook and as I would readthe news feeds coming in about her, it really touchedme,” Tewell said. “I wanted to do something to helpher family and friends heal, so I started a ‘ForBrittany’ campaign (a pay-it-forward movement). Witheach act I hope they find a little comfort in it.”See story on page 18

Editor’s Corner
Now that the 12/12/12 excite-ment has died down, focus hasswitched to the next importantdate: 12/21/12.You know, the end of the
world as we know it as the supposed Mayan apoca-lypse prepares to strike.Do a search online about preparing for the end
of the world, and you’ll come across all sorts ofpanic.Apparently, there has been panic buying of can-
dles reported in China and Russia.In the United States, sales are brisk for those
seeking survival shelters.My favorite: In France, believers were preparing
to converge on a mountain where they believealiens will rescue them.The mayor of the French town of Bugarach-pro-
nounce it any way you wish- has tried to preventthe pandemonium from getting out of hand (Is iteven possible to keep pandemonium under con-trol?) by banning UFO watchers and aircraft fromthe top of the Pic de Bugarach.Apparently people want to get to the top because
it serves as some sort of alien garage where ex-traterrestrials are waiting to abandon earth and takea few “lucky” humans with them.E.T. phone home.Said Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev:
I don’t believe in the end of the world...At least notthis year.Was he trying to reassure us or threaten us?Even NASA has gone so far to issue press re-
leases saying that there are no rogue planets hidingbehind the sun, poised to make its appearance onthe 21st.Naturally, conspiracy theorists claim that the
NASA press releases are are coverup of the im-pending doom.So, as some rush to get ready for the end of the
world, I have one important question to ask: Why?Why prepare for the end of the world if the
world’s end is inevitable?If the world is truly going to be destroyed, it
won’t matter how many candles you’ve hoarded orhow deep into the earth your survival shelter is.If the world is truly to be destroyed next week,
our demise is certain.So, what would you do if we truly only had one
week to live?How about live your life as you do every day,
trying to be the best person you can be.That way, if the world truly comes to an end,we will all go out on top.Until next week (hopefully), may the good news
be yours.
On Dec. 11, Michigan passed legislation making the state the 24th in the nation to be-come a Right to Work state. The move will prohibit requiring non-union employees topay unions for negotiating contracts and other services. The law’s passage was seen asa blow to organized labor’s influence.
Letters cont. to next page
ShawnWestbrook,Marshall Twp.“I think it’s a positive opportunity for
the state. It provides short-term opportu-nities to individuals that may be under-employed.”
Lynne Serafin,Union City“I’m opposed to the change. I don’t
think it will benefit the working personor the economy.”
Word on the StreetWhat do you think of Michigan becoming a Right to Work state?
by John Hendler
Mike Hunter,Coldwater“I think this will be a tough time
and a long road with the long-standingunion influence. It will free up theeconomy and get more people back towok, if we can break the cycle of twoyears of unemployment and benefitslike the ‘Obama phone’ and bridgecards.”
Bill Kinsey,Coldwater“I definitely think you should have
the opportunity to join a union or notand to go with their values or not. Peo-ple should be given the opportunity tochoose.”
Tom Serafin,Union City“I think people forget that unions
are the reason for pay scales and goodworking conditions are here in Michi-gan. If you don’t want to be in a union,don’t apply. I don’t think one shouldget benefits without paying for them.”
PamWestbrook,Marshall Twp.“I think that’s a positive. It should
be a choice. This gives employees theright of choice with regards to unionrepresentation.”
We’re stuck with Obamacare; you get Right to WorkTo the Editor:With regards to Michi-
gan’s Right to Work legis-lation, I just have one thingto say to the Democrats:
Doesn’t it taste great tohave a piece of legislationshoved down your throatagainst your will? We’restuck with Obamacare, and
now Right to Work hascleared the MichiganHouse and has become law.Don’t like it, do you?Maybe you can just wash it
down with some moreKool-Aid.

The sequestration gimmick will hurt Calhoun County seniorsTo the Editor:An obscure budgeting
gimmick from Washington,DC will soon slash supportsfor seniors in our commu-nity. Called a sequester, thiswave of $109 billion in au-tomatic cuts will take effectin January unless Congresscalls their own bluff. Thesequester is a stick Congresscreated to make itself do itsjob of finding appropriateways to tackle our nation’sdeficit and is not rationalbudget making. It avoidsmaking actual choices aboutwhich federal programs pro-vide the greatest return oninvestment and reflect thecurrent and future needs ofour country. Instead, it cutsroughly 8 percent from allfederal discretionary pro-grams, from military spend-ing to food safety to educa-tion.Although I am concerned
about the total impact se-questration will have on thiscountry, I am most fearful
of the sequester’s effect onour county’s most vulnera-ble older adults’ ability toremain independent andhealthy at home. A se-quester will mean that 5,500fewer home-delivered mealswill be available in CalhounCounty – for some seniorsthis will mean going hungryin between these importantmeal deliveries. If the se-questration goes into effect,seniors will lose access toother essential Older Ameri-cans Act services such asrides to doctor appoint-ments, access to homehealth and personal care ser-vices, as well as the abilityto participate in chronic dis-ease self-management pro-grams that have evidence toprove that they keep seniorshealthier thus avoiding un-necessary and costly hospi-tal and nursing home stays.The family caregivers
who are doing their best tohelp Mom or Dad continueto live at home would also
be hurt by cuts. Funding forthe National Family Care-giver Support Programwould also be cut. Reducedservices mean more work,financial strain and worryfor them. Given that familycaregivers are the singlelargest source of long-termcare, we must find everypossible way to supporttheir efforts, not underminethem. While deficit reduc-tion is a worthy goal, arbi-trarily cutting critical pro-grams to the most vulnera-ble population groups doesnot always result in savingsfor taxpayers and causesgreat pain and anxiety tothose who can least handleit.When at-risk older adults
don’t get the help they needto remain in their homesand communities, the nextoption they face is usuallygoing to a nursing home.Nationally, home and com-munity-based services costabout one-third as much as
nursing home care on aver-age. Few older adults havethe resources to fund institu-tional care out-of-pocket forvery long, which meanseven long-time middle classseniors often end up spend-ing down their resourcesand going on Medicaid,which is paid for with fed-eral and state dollars. Andunfortunately, there are notenough nursing home bedsfor all those who will needthese services, putting themat even greater risk.Congress must do what-
ever it takes to avoid the se-quester and instead take aresponsible and balancedapproach to solving our na-tion’s deficit problem. Anautomatic and thoughtlesshit to critical programs willcause real pain to seniorsand families in CalhounCounty, Michigan andacross the country.

By Harriet CarrollMACS Christmas co-chair
Saying " THANK YOU"hardly seems to be enough,however, that is just whatwe wish to say to each andeveryone for the many gifts,games, toys, food, moneyand time.
Trinity Episcopal Churchonce again was very gra-cious with its gift of space,and a general "take over" oftheir building. Without thisgenerous contribution,MACS could not havehelped so many Marshallarea families.
Approximately 75 volun-teers were on hand to sortand pack the food and giftboxes - as well as sort andpack food items that willlater be used for our foodpantry.
School children broughthand made Christmas cardsfor each basket, sang songsto the workers, brought puz-zles, books and games, andlots and lots of food. Themiddle school students andstaff collected over 900 fooditems and the "retired teach-ers" packed and moved thefood collected by the stu-dents to the church. TheKinderhaus children andstaff were on hand each dayto contribute to the fun andexcitement of the project.
Churches, service groups,businesses, organizationsand many, many individualsalso made very generousdonations to the Christmasproject, and when it is allput together, the MAGICcomes alive.
MACS volunteers wereable to provide 178 food andgift boxes to area families,and "adopted" an additional67 families...all in all 243Marshall area families re-ceived help, and will have abetter Christmas because ofthe generous and caringMarshall community.
Merry Christmas to every-one, and please know howmuch we appreciate all ofyou for your outstandinghelp, not only at Christmas
but throughout the year.
MACS Makes Merry
Volunteering for MACS is a family affair for, from left,Tionne Carroll, John Carroll, Jr., Harriet’s sister PatO’Leary and Art O’Leary. (John Sr. is out deliveringbaskets.)
Showing off one ofher favorite items
is event co-chair Sue Moffat.
MACS mainstays Bessie Ivey,left, and Peg Esbaugh who getsto play Mrs. Claus and call therecipients of the community’sgenerosity.
Knowing that snow WILL eventually come, Veronica Jeffers sorts themany hats, mittens, and gloves given to MACS by Marshall elves.
From the giver (Debbie Carrel) to the sorter (Vera Hazel), MACS volun-teers and supporters have the yearly Christmas event down to a science.
