Editor’s Corner

When people used to hearabout “Albion schools” the firstthought that used to come tomany minds had to do with lowtest scores, declining enroll-ment and dilapidated buildings.Well, the times, they are a changing.Students’ test scores are on the rise as is stu-

dent enrollment, as Albion strives to make itsmark as one of the best K-8 districts in Michi-gan, if not the country.An important of this puzzle is the Sinking

Fund Millage which Albion citizens will have achance to approve on Aug. 5.The Albion Opportunity School, formerly

known as Albion High School, is in dire need ofessential repairs.When it rains, staff are forced to deploy nu-

merous 80-gallon containers to catch the rainfallleaking in.The moisture in the building has led to swarms

of gnats and the presence of mold.Other top needs include a new pool liner or the

pool will be forced to close; a new fire protec-tion system just to bring the building up to code;new windows to literally keep the elements out;and a new boiler and HVAC system, which hasbeen in use for nearly 50 years.At a meeting last week in Albion on the Sink-

ing Fund Millage, supporters talked about Al-bion finding its niche with its STEM and robot-ics programs and attracting students back to thedistrict.I may sound a bit dramatic, but after hearing

the passion from those supporters, Albion stu-dents truly are on the path to doing great things.Who knows what kind of impact the students’

performance will have down the road on otherchildren as they go through their academic ca-reers and see the bar being raised?Schools, as is oftentimes the case, bring the

community together in a way that no other entitycan, whether at a sporting event, a science fair oran academic ceremony.Schools are the lifeblood of the community.

Fewer students today will mean that fewer adultsin the future will stay or come back to Albionand call it home and raise a family of their own,impacting the city’s ability to thrive.Conversely, more students returning to Albion

increase the likelihood that the community cansecure a successful future, a future long overduefor Albion.Until next week, may the good news be yours.

Marshall ‘Welcome to My Garden’ Tour a successTo the Editor:Last weekend, July 12 and 13, the

Marshall Area Garden Club held our an-nual “Welcome to My Garden” tour,and once again, it was a great weekend.The gardens were amazing, each onebeautiful and different, and we can’tthank the garden owners enough fortheir hard work and generous willing-ness to share their gardens. The volun-teers who worked the tour, the commit-tee members who helped organize andrun the event, and the city joined to-gether to make it a great weekend.

Thanks to all who were involved.We are delighted to provide another

event to share Marshall’s beauty andhospitality with visitors. From the guestbook that many visitors signed, it isclear that we get hundreds of out-of-town folks in for this event. It is worthmentioning as well that the proceedsfrom the Garden Tour go toward mak-ing our city a more beautiful place. Asyou admire the plantings around Foun-tain Circle, the west end gardens andCarver Park, just to name a few, think ofthe Garden Club. And, if you missed it

this year, plan on attending next year aswe celebrate our 25th tour – again, yourticket purchase helps us keep the city ofMarshall beautiful.

Marshall - it’s your marathon, put yourself on the mapTo the Editor:We are gearing up for the 4th annual

Baker’s Dozen Beer Run on Sept. 20,a half marathon through the streets ofMarshall. It was our desire when wefirst organized this event to celebratethe place that we all were born andraised in by highlighting some of thesmall businesses and providing citi-zens with a good, cheap time for theheck (or health-your pick) of it.

Now, as the event has expanded and

required us to limit participants at1,500 (so get registering if you want aspot), our focus has also expanded.Our new goal this year is to liven upthe course. We want to involve asmuch of Marshall as we possibly can.

So, here is our challenge to you - ifyou live on the course, we would likeyour help in making the trek of 13.1miles as tolerable as possible for therunners and bikers who have commit-ted themselves to it. Music, sprinklers,

silly signs, squirt guns, costumes-useyour imagination, people.

The proceeds will begoing to the Williams Syn-drome Association, which isvery dear to Allen Harmon In-surance Agency.

But wait, there's more.Allen Harmon InsuranceAgency is proud to introducethe addition of new agent andlong time area baseballcoach/player, Tom Sharpley,to their staff. He will bethrowing out the ceremonialfirst pitch at the game. In do-ing so, this commemorates anew beginning (big inning)for him in the insurance busi-ness. To symbolize that he hasmoved on to "greener pas-tures," the first 1,000 peoplewill receive a cow bell (makesome noise) at the gate. Fol-lowing the game, there will bea beautiful display of fire-works.

Now that the bases are cov-ered, we hope to see everyonecome out to CO Brown Sta-dium, located on 1392 CapitalAve NE, in Battle Creektonight, Saturday, July 19, at7:05 p.m..
