Editor’s Corner

Lots of congratulations to goaround this week.

First, congratulations to theswimmers from Marshall HighSchool that will be going to thestate meet in Holland next weekend. That group in-cludes Jessica Bush, Nina Hendler, Taylor Karns, Mon-ica Lubis, Anna Sitar, Brooklyn Tobias and JaneTurner.

It’s amazing how the entire swim team performed atthe SMAC East meet as many of the 30-plus girls onthe team recorded season-best times.

Kudos to coach Dave Karns and assistant coachSteve Weaver for the great job and kudos to the girls forall their hard work and dedication that started way backin early August.

Try swimming thousands of yards each and everyday for three and a half months. That’s a lot of mileageand a lot of heart. Congratulations, girls on a great sea-son in one of the most physically demanding sports.

And while we’re talking sports, belated congratula-tions are in order to Kurt Swaton for qualifying for thestate cross-country finals and to the MHS girls golfteam of Alena Buczynski, Annie Cape, Shannon Hicks,Sammi Price and Jill Puckett for getting not only to thestate tournament but also achieving team academic all-state status. And congratulations to Jill for individualall-state academic recognition.

Congratulations to John Coulter and his group atMAEDA, the Marshall Area Economic DevelopmentAlliance, for their efforts and to those that turned out tothe alliance’s kickoff event at Schuler’s last Tuesday. Itseems that volunteerism is alive and well in Marshall.

Congratulations are also in order to Marshall PublicSchools and Mar Lee Superintendent Dr. Randy Davison his being chosen as Region 7 Superintendent of theYear. With all that he and his staff have accomplishedin his nearly five years in Marshall, he would be thefrontrunner for Superintendent of the Decade if therewas such an award.

And now, for a little self promotion: Congratulationsto the ad-visor&chronicle’s Corinne Kellogg for herphotographic awards from the Michigan Press Associ-ation. Every year, she and I would debate whether weshould enter the editorial and photography contest, andso after much hemming and hawing, we decided to fi-nally go for it this year. So, congratulations Corinne fora job well done.

And finally, a big thank you to those in the commu-nity who have offered their kind words to me on myfirst place selection for local columnist by the Michi-gan Press Association.

It’s nice to be recognized, but it has truly been mypleasure to inform, entertain (and sometimes annoy)our readers with my weekly column over the past sevenyears. Along with taking photos, it’s the most chal-lenging and enjoyable part of my job.

Thank you for your support and readership and untilnext week, may the good news be yours.

More of the nation’s big retailers will be opening their doors earlier on Thanks-giving to get a jump on the holiday shopping season, prompting many to say thatThanksgiving is losing it’s meaning as a time to be thankful for family and friends.

Matt Bedersen,Portage

"I stay as far away from stores aspossible on Black Friday. I did it oneyear, and that was enough.”

TomWillard,Marshall

"It’s a crime against people whohave to work that night.”

"I’m not in favor of it. They aredoing it because there is one lessweek of shopping, but people whowork on Thanksgiving should be withtheir families.”

Phillip Jordan,Marshall

"I think it’s ridiculous. It’s a holidaywhere time is supposed to be spentwith family, not shopping. It keeps em-ployees away from their families.”

Plan ahead and be safe this hunting seasonBy LEE FRIEND

Marshall Police Officer

Michigan has a rich and time hon-ored tradition of hunting in the fall, andwith hunting season upon us, there are

several tips forhunters to have a safeout of doors experi-ence. Making a hunt-ing excursion a safeand responsible ex-perience is key tohaving a memorableand great time in the

woods. The Marshall Police Depart-ment would like to remind all hunters toplan ahead for the season and to besafe. Please review the following safetytips:

• Every firearm should be treated asif it is loaded, and be sure to alwayspoint the muzzle in a safe direction.

• Be absolutely sure of what your tar-get is and what is beyond it. You mustbe able to identify the features of thegame you are hunting.

• Have a flashlight or headlamp on

when entering and exiting your huntingarea.

• Always avoid alcoholic beveragesprior to hunting and during hunting, aswell as any other mind or behavior al-tering medicines or drugs.

• For firearms deer season, camou-flage hunter orange is legal, provided50 percent of the surface area is solidhunter orange. All hunters on any landduring hunting hours must wear a hat,cap, vest, jacket, rainwear or otherouter garment of hunter orange (or thecamouflage hunter orange) which isvisible from all sides.

• While traveling to and leaving yourblind, always unload your gun.

• Telling someone you know whereyou are hunting and when you are ex-pected back is essential. This will helplocate you if you happen to get lost orhurt in the woods. If possible, put yourplans down on paper with dates, times,location and expected time of return.

• Take your cell phone into thewoods with you, with the ringer turnedoff and set to vibrate. If you are hurt,your cell phone will discharge a signal

which will help rescuers locate you ifyou are lost. Plus, your phone may beequipped with a GPS system to helpyou.

• Never run, jump or climb with aloaded firearm. If you need to climb afence or tree, unload your firearm.

• Keep your finger outside the triggerguard and off the trigger until you areready to shoot at your deer.

• Deer hunting hours are from onehalf-hour before sunrise to one half-hour after sunset.

It’s always important to know yourown comfort level and to not over-exertyourself. If you need to take a breakwhile finding your hunting area, do so.

Nov. 15 began the firearms seasonfor 2013. By following these basic rulesof safety you can expect to enjoy a fun-filled experience in the out of doors inour beautiful state of Michigan.

"Chevrolet has a long his-tory with baseball, and we're

glad we were able to bringthat tradition to our youthleagues in Marshall," saidTim Rowe, sales managerfor Caron Chevrolet.
