The Haven of Rest’s Men’s and Women’s LifeRecovery Programs will have help in the new year,thanks to the 23rd Annual Bill Russell Blues Jam andChili Cook-off.

Kershaw, who is an eighth grader at MarshallMiddle School, played a four-song set in theUnderground Cafe and then was asked by organizersto play on the main stage. “He definitely could play,”said Event Coordinator Dee Russell. “Being a 14-year-old kid, he surprised me. He didn’t care that 500 peoplewere watching him. He was just as comfortable as hecould be.” After the three-minute blues song, the youngman was met with the only standing ovation of thenight.

Editor’s Corner

I was horrified when I firstheard the news that Jordanian pi-lot Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh hasbeen burned alive by ISIS.Somehow in my mind, and ap-

parently in may other’s as well, this was a new de-spicable low for these Islamic extremists.Upon reading about what had happened online, I

came across a link to view the video.Part of me had no interest whatsoever in watching,

but another part of me thought about the movies theNazis had made showing the various way they mur-dered Jews during the Holocaust.I hesitated for a moment before I clicked on the

link.And there it was, a slick, Hollywood-like produc-

tion complete with multiple angles, voiceovers andbackground music.To an ignorant viewer, they might have thought

they were watching some action movie or TV dramathat we’ve seen numerous times and have, sadly, as asociety, become desensitized to the brutal burning ofa human being.When the video was over, I was physically shaken.

I was angry.After seeing this depravity, it is now crystal clear

that these beasts have no limits or no human souland thus, should be treated as the sub-human animalsthey are.The outrage was so great in Jordan that those who

had questioned the country’s participation in theU.S.-led coalition against ISIS immediately did a180 as King Abdullah vowing to wage a “harsh” waragainst ISIS.This video seems to have opened the eyes of some

Muslim leaders that now know that they need to jointhe fight to bring down ISIS.This video needs to be shown by the broadcast and

news networks so people can see what genuine evillooks like. It won’t just go away because we chooseto ignore it.The day of reckoning will come for ISIS eventu-

ally; it would be in our nation’s interest and in theworld’s interest to have that occur sooner rather thanlater.But, that would mean an aggressive campaign,

similar to how the Americans treated the Axis pow-ers following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor,and I don’t think the nation or the White House hasthe stomach for that at this time.I fear that eventually, we will have no choice but

to use extreme force because the longer we wait, theworse it will get.To paraphrase the line from the old TV commer-

cial, we can pay now or pay (more) later.Until next week, may the good news be yours.

Kudos to Tekonsha Animal Urgent Care for helpTo the Editor:Many of us have pets who

are family. Our pet is a 6-year-old Persian cat namedMagglio. He is always wait-ing for us when we gethome.

Recently, he went for hisannual checkup and vacci-nations. Late in the after-noon, he started to get rest-less. His condition wors-ened until he started lickingand chewing his paws. Wechecked his paws and foundthey were red and puffy. We

assumed it was a reaction tothe vaccinations, but he wasincreasingly uncomfortable.

We contacted Magglio’sveterinary office, but it wasafter hours. We were re-ferred to Animal UrgentCare in Tekonsha. We calledAnimal Urgent Care and de-scribed the problem. Wewere offered a choice ofself-help or we could takehim in.

Of course, we took him toAnimal Urgent Care. There,Magglio found himself in an

unfamiliar place surroundedby people he didn’t know.The young lady checking usin took time to get ac-quainted with Magglio, gethim comfortable and re-laxed while we took care ofthe necessary paperwork.The veterinarian joined usand was quiet and gentlewith our pet. She gave Mag-glio a thorough checkup tomake a diagnosis. He re-ceived a shot to relieve hispain.

The next day a report was

sent to Magglio’s veterinar-ian by Animal Urgent Care.After receiving the report,his veterinarian called tocheck up on him.

If your pet needs care andit’s after hours, your clinicmay refer you to TekonshaAnimal Urgent Care. Gowith confidence. Your petwill receive excellent care.We are so glad they wereavailable.

Great job to the Calhoun County Road DepartmentTo the Editor:I would like to thank the Calhoun

County Road Department for the dedi-cation and hard work each one put inthis week.

When we have a snowstorm like theone we had this past week, the RoadDepartment works endless hours get-

ting our roads opened for us. As theyare doing this for the community theirfamily knows their loved one is out onthe roads in some dangerous situa-tions. Not every road can befirst, some drives that a resident hascleared may have a pile of snow in itagain or your mailbox may have come

off its post.The Calhoun County Road Depart-

ment had the roads open in record timein my opinion. I just appreciate all thatyou do on the roads and in theoffice. Thank you.

Hail to the men, women who fight so we remain freeBy FRED JACOBSPublisher and CEO,

J-Ad Graphics

After listening to film-maker Michael Moore andothers condemn Chris Kyle,the late Navy SEAL whosestory was told in the grippingmovie, American Sniper, Ifeel compelled to weigh inwith my own indignant re-sponse.

Moore and people likeSheldon Richman, who repre-sents the patriotic-soundingFuture of Freedom Founda-tion, have called Kyle a cow-ard because he used hismarksmanship skills to shootenemy forces in the backfrom hidden positions. Never-mind that Kyle’s targets werelethal threats, unseen by ap-proaching American soldierson the ground, or that somewere Afghan civilians con-cealing bombs to be usedagainst approaching Ameri-can convoys.

Calling Kyle and his fel-low servicemen who arefighting terrorists throughoutthe Middle East is nothingshort of outrageous. Thesemen and women are willingto put their lives on the line toprotect America and the val-ues we cherish. They deserveour utmost and unreserved re-spect.

The controversy wasbrought on by the release ofthe movie directed by ClintEastwood, which starsBradley Cooper as the mostlethal sniper in U. S. militaryhistory. Watching the movie,

I felt there was so much moreto gain from Kyle’s story thanjust his special skill with agun. It was a story about theeffects of war on our militarypersonnel and their families.Plus, it hammered home therealization of just how seriousthese radicals can be whenthey use women and childrenas decoys and in battle.

Kyle joined the Navyshortly after the 9/11 attackson the U.S. because he feltcompelled to help find theterrorists who killed morethan 3,000 men and womenon our soil. He was con-vinced he had something togive, and, due to his expertmarksmanship, he was ableto save countless lives of ourservicemen during his fourtours of duty, which earnedhim the reputation as “TheLegend.”

“It was my duty to shootthe enemy, and I don¹t regretit,” Kyle said in the movie.“My regrets are for the peo-ple I couldn’t save: Marines,soldiers, buddies. I’m notnaïve, and I don¹t romanticizewar. The worst moments ofmy life have come as aSEAL. But I can stand beforeGod with a clear conscienceabout doing my job.”

Thankfully, we still haveAmericans who voice theirunderstanding of the difficultconflicts in war and providetheir thanks and admiration tothose who are called into it.

“America’s fighting menand women sacrifice so muchto ensure that our great nationstays free,” Allen Boyd, a for-

mer U.S. House of Represen-tative who served on the De-fense committee, has said.“We owe a debt of gratitudeto the solders who have paidthe ultimate price for thiscause, as well as for thosewho are blessed enough to re-turn from the battlefield un-scathed.”

As Americans, we’re sup-posed to be tolerant of one’sright to speak his or hermind. Yet, when I hear peo-ple like Moore and Richmancondemn soldiers like Kyle -calling him a coward, no less- it takes a great deal of pa-tience for me to justify theirright to say what they want,especially when I loathe whatthey stand for.

Last week, Arizona Sen.John McCain got a taste ofthis foul perspective fromanti-war protesters who dis-rupted a committee hearinghe chaired. The committeewas about to receive thoughtson global threats to our nationfrom former Secretary ofState and U.S. diplomatHenry Kissinger. The protest-ers interrupted the proceed-ings to call for the prosecu-tion of Kissinger for “globalmilitarism” and war crimesduring his tenure.

When the protesters grewaggressive, flashing handcuffsin the face of Kissinger, Mc-Cain called on U.S. CapitolPolice to remove the protest-ers from the hearing room.

“From all of my col-leagues, I’d like to apologizefor allowing such disgracefulbehavior towards a man who

served his country with thegreatest distinction,” McCainsaid to Kissinger. “I apolo-gize profusely.”

Richman’s justification ofhis criticism of Kyle came, hesaid, from the fact that Kylewas saving the lives of Amer-ican military personnel whoinvaded other people’s coun-try, and that they were nothreat to them or their fellowAmericans back home.

Have we forgotten how wefelt just days after the 9/11 at-tacks when President GeorgeH. Bush stood among therubble of the World TradeCenter condemning the ter-rorists for what they did to usand promising Americansthat we would hunt themdown?

The war on terrorism con-tinues to grow more than adecade later - as we continueto fight these radical Muslimswho hate what we stand forand will do whatever neces-sary to break our will and ourbond as a nation.

During Sunday’s “Meetthe Press” television show,former Defense SecretaryBob Gates said, “It is unreal-istic to say that the U.S. willever destroy al Qaeda or theTaliban.”

Gates went on to tell mod-erator Chuck Todd, “We’vebeen after al Qaeda with allof the resources of the Amer-ican military and intelligencecommunity for 14 years now,and we haven’t destroyed it.”

LET OUR SERVICING PROS USE THE HUNTERHAWKEYE ELITE HIGH-DEFINITION DIGITAL IMAGING

TECHNOLOGY TO ANALYZE AND PINPOINT ANYALIGNMENT ISSUES YOUR VEHICLE MAY HAVE!

4 Reduced tire wear —Improper alignment is amajor cause of prematuretire wear. Over the years, aproperly aligned vehicle canadd thousands of miles totire life. Many tires arereplaced prematurely due toadverse wear.

4 Better gas mileage — Gasmileage improves as rollingresistance is minimized.Total alignment sets all fourwheels parallel, which alongwith proper inflation, mini-mizes rolling resistance.

4 Improved handling — Doesyour car pull to one side? Doyou have to turn the steer-ing wheel to keep your cartraveling straight ahead?Many handling problems canbe corrected by total align-ment service.

4 Safer driving — A suspen-sion system inspection ispart of the alignment proce-dure. This allows worn partsto be detected before theycause costly problems.

How high-definition digitalimaging wheel alignment worksOur shop uses four precision cameras to measure theposition and orientation of targets mounted on eachwheel of your car.

The aligner uses this information to calculate your car’scurrent alignment measurements and then comparesthese measurements to the car manufacturer’s (O.E.M.)alignment specifications

If your car’s wheel alignment is outside factory specifi-cations, the aligner provides the technician with theexact information needed to make the proper adjust-ments and return the alignment angles to the manufac-turer’s specifications.
