Editor’s Corner

Imagine if you had a hole inyour roof and during an hour-long monsoon, water was pour-ing into your kitchen.Would your first move be to

mop and vacuum the water from the floor whilethe water continued to pour in or might you firsttry to find a way to prevent the water from com-ing in?Same goes if say, in winter, a pipe bursts in

your basement. Do you start on the cleanupwhile the water pours in or do you find a way tostop the water from coming in?According to my friends, my analogies tend to

be slightly off the mark, but here it goes.Last week, I came across an article which de-

scribed how a person made a film of his enteringthe United States from Mexico dressed as Osamabin Laden and encountering not one single lawenforcement official during the six miles hewalked from the border to Interstate 10.This person also entered through a flimsy

fence that any child could negotiate with ease.Yes, there is a humanitarian crisis going on at

the border (somewhat forgotten by the nationalmedia the last couple of weeks as Iraq is back inthe headlines), and I’m not here to take one sideor the other at this time on what to do with theseadults and children that have crossed to borderillegally.My issue is the border itself. If people trying

to make a statement can enter unimpeded, howlong will it be until terrorists enter this countryundetected?Just like you would shut the water off when

the pipe bursts before dealing with the cleanup,shouldn’t our government secure the border firstso no more illegals (or terrorists) enter the coun-try before any type of amnesty or path to citi-zenship is made available to these people?Yet, on the official White House website, Pres-

ident Obama is quoted last year stating, “Westrengthened security at the borders so that wecould finally stem the tide of illegal immigrants.We put more boots on the ground on the south-ern border than at any time in our history.”Not only is the situation at the southern bor-

ders humanitarian crisis, it is also a matter of na-tional security because sadly, it’s only a matterof time before those that want to do harm to ourcitizens make their way into the country unde-tected.The race is on.Until next week, may the good news be yours.

Hundreds of children attended Kids Day on Aug. 12 at the 166th Calhoun County Fairand today, Saturday, Aug. 16, hundreds more will make their way to the fair for family-friendly events such as the pedal pulls and bike giveaway. With lots to do for kids at thefair, we asked these six what their favorite thing is about the fair.

Letters

Elizabeth Loyer, 9Marshall"The horse barns. Horses are my

favorite animals.”

LukeWoody, 8Marshall"Playing the games. You win prizes.

I like the fishing game.”

Word on the StreetWhat’s your favorite part about the Calhoun County Fair?

by John Hendler

Kellie Hankinson, 8Marshall"The rollercoasters. Some of them

can go upside down and fast.”

Finnigan Mason, 7Marshall"I like the tractors, cop motorcy-

cles, Jeeps and four-wheelers.”

GraceWoody, 8Marshall"Riding the rides and seeing the

draft horses. Cuda the draft horse ismy favorite.”

Emily Loyer, 6Marshall"Rollercoasters because they go

really fast.”

Concern regarding care of Marengo Twp. CemeteryTo the Editor:While I no longer live in

Marengo Township, I waspleased to see the road mill-age passed.Should I still be living in

Marengo Township, I alsowould have voted in supportof improved roads.However, I am writing to

express my concern over thecondition of the Marengo

Township Cemetery. Myhusband, parents, brother,grandparents, aunts and un-cles are buried in the ceme-tery. Any casual inspectionof the cemetery groundswould provide evidence thecontractors, who shall re-main anonymous, are notdoing their job. I know ofthree markers and two urnswhich have been knocked

from their foundation; onehad to be replaced and an-other has been chipped. Ap-parently, trimming betweenheadstones is not part of thecontractual obligation withweeds being as high assome urns. We have had totrim around our own head-stones and others this sum-mer.Would it be possible to

have the Marengo TownshipCemetery look the way itused to? In years’ past, thegrounds of the cemeterywere mowed and trimmedconsistently - a source ofpride for those who havefamily members buried inthe cemetery.

Betty Dunn,Marshall

Thanks to community for support in primary electionTo the Editor:As we head into the November gen-

eral election, I want to take a momentto thank the community for such anoutstanding show of support in lastweek’s primary election. I am trulygrateful to all who gathered signatures,displayed signs and encouragedfriends and family to come out to votefor Sarah Lincoln on Aug. 5.I have had the honor of practicing in

the 37th Circuit Court for over 13years. The majority of the trial workbeing done in the Circuit Court is thework that I do every day. I encouragethose of you who remain undecided toask a lawyer whom practices in thiscounty, ask an employee at the court-house or ask a police officer - whowould they vote for? You will find thatI have the right experience for the 37th

Circuit Court.

Once again, thank you to everyonewho supported me during the primaryelection campaign. I look forward tocontinuing our hard work as well asmeeting many members of the com-munity between now and November.

Sarah Lincoln,Marshall Twp.

Bring back capital punishment to deter criminalsTo the Editor:During the past few years, premedi-

tated murder has become a sad normin America. Every day the newspaperswrite about some senseless murder.What can deter this action?In our own state, we see so many.

Recently, in Detroit, Flint, Muskegon,Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and ourown Battle Creek, we have had manymurders. Several are from robberies,some gang related, some from revengeand some from domestic. Most are theresult of guns and the murderers aregetting younger and younger. Unfortu-nately, anyone can get a gun.When you see a 2-year-old shot in

front of her father for revenge, a younggirl killed walking her dog and a girlin Battle Creek stabbed to death whileworking in a gas station, these andmany more make people say enoughand suggest maybe it is time to bringback the death penalty as a deterrent.Some sympathizers complain about

cruel and unusual punishment andpoint out a couple of prolonged execu-tions and are worried about the mur-derer moaning or possibly sufferingfor a short moment. However, theyneed to be reminded about the suffer-ing of the victims and their families.Most reasonable people will not spendmuch time concerned about the mur-

derer having a few moments of dis-comfort.There might be a solution to provid-

ing a method that will have no pain, notime to groan and best of all, it ischeap. It is called the guillotine. Imight suggest this could be a deterrentif the public (not children, of course)could see this in the media. Whateverit takes, we need to find a way of de-terring these senseless murders and ifthe state likes this idea, I could havemy resume ready.

Edward O’Dowd,Marshall
