Public Schools Board of Education, by unanimousvote, extended the contract of Superintendent Dr.Randy Davis through 2018.

Editor’s Corner

Prior to last week, I knewvery little about Los AngelesClippers owner Don Sterling,except that he was a very richguy and a very shady ownerwho, until recently, spent as little money as pos-sible for maximum profits as the Clippers werethe perennial laughingstock of the league sincehe purchased the NBA franchise in 1981.The released recording of what is believed to

have been a private conversation between Ster-ling and his much younger friend, mistress orwhatever she is, shed a rather huge spotlight onwhat some have believed for years - that Ster-ling held racist views concerning African-Amer-icans.(By the way, I have concerns how people can

unknowingly have their private conversations re-leased to the public and I fear that we will seemore people be outed in similar fashion the fu-ture, but that’s another story for another time.)Faced with his biggest test as NBA commis-

sioner, Adam Silver issued the equivalent of afull court press against Sterling: a lifetime banfrom the league, a $2.5 million fine and the in-tention to take the team from Sterling.That may be easier said than done, as many

feel that Sterling, who also has a reputation ofrelishing being dragged into court, will fightthis to the death.I’m not a legal expert, so I have no idea if Sil-

ver and the league, in trying to strip the teamfrom Sterling, has the law on their side.Still, I was impressed with Silver’s leadership.

He didn’t hedge his bets, he didn’t mince words.He saw intolerable behavior and didn’t tolerateit or try to take a cautious approach in trying tonot look hasty. He was firm and decisive. Therewas no grey area. This was clearly a case ofblack and white, right versus wrong.If Silver had imposed a less severe penalty,

what kind of signal would that have sent to theleague, its players and the nation?Sterling had damaged the NBA brand and if

Silver had not acted so decisively, there was areal chance that the NBA would be forever tar-nished (best case scenario) or (worst case sce-nario) collapsed completely.When it came time to confront the bully, Sil-

ver stood tall and didn’t blink.For Sterling, in the end, he reaped what he

sowed all these years and he just needs to real-ize the jig is up and go away.Until next week, may the good news be yours.

Last week, NBACommissioner Adam Silver banned Los Angeles Clippers Owner Don Sterlingfrom the league for life, fined him $2.5 million and indicated that the league was going to takethe team from Sterling after audio surfaced of Sterling making racist comments during an al-leged private conversation.

Letters cont. to next page

Eric Vreede,Kalamazoo"I was surprised by the comments he made. It

was kind of shocking to hear that kind of racismnow-a-days.”

Maleah Goss,Marshall"I don’t agree with what Don Sterling said.

Racist comments like that shouldn’t be toleratedin today’s society.”

Word on the StreetWhat do you think of the Don Sterling scandal?

Correction: The date for the 50th wedding anniversary dinner dance for Ray and Jane Kilbourn should have read May 24.

by John Hendler

Kalynne Allard,Ceresco"I think it was wrong to make racist remarks

like that, especially in his profession. Sports issuch a diverse world. It’s not right what he said.”

Mark Jackson,Jackson"He’s an out of touch old fart who shouldn’t

be owning a team, but it’s a pretty harsh penaltyfor the guy. What happened to freedom ofspeech?

Warning to all pit bull owners in MarshallTo the Editor:On Thursday, April 24,

Marshall police shot mygrandson’s beloved BlueFawn Pitt “Remy” injuringhim so badly he had tobe euthanized.To my knowledge, animal

cruelty is a felony in all 50states. I am begging you tokeep your babies“Pitts” safe from all poten-

tial danger. Remy was thesweetest, most loving dogI’ve ever seen. And so gen-tle he would sit and let a lit-tle 5-year-old girl paint histoenails. His intelligencewas beyond compare.Thank you to all the girls

and Dr. Vincent at LogCabin Vets for your com-passion for Remy’s end oflife care.

Our family is in shockand disbelief that the Mar-shall Police Departmentshowed such cowardly be-havior. We are quite certainthey wouldn’t have shot if ithad been a poodle.Also, we are wondering

why the two officers firedfive rounds at one dog atclose range inside the citylimits aren’t being charged

with reckless discharge of afirearm which is also acrime.Remy was part of our

family. RIP sweet boyRemy. All dogs go toheaven.

Bronson celebrates National Nurse Week, May 6-12To the Editor:May 6 – 12 is National Nurses

Week, a time to thank nurses for thecare they provide every day. Thisyear’s theme is “Nurses Leading theWay” and it is very aptly titled.Throughout the Bronson Healthcaresystem, nurses are embracing newtechnologies, resolving emerging is-sues, and flexing with ever-changingroles. Nurses are charting electroni-cally to develop one easily accessibleelectronic health record for each pa-tient and are using devices such as bar-code scanning to prevent medicationerrors. Many nurses are continuingtheir education to research best prac-tices and are championing new stan-dards of care for all nurses to follow.Whether they work in one of our med-ical practices, our hospitals, our carecenters, outpatient facilities or in yourhome, Bronson nurses always go theextra mile to surround each patient andfamily with an exceptional care experi-ence. They listen closely, work collab-

oratively, and are leading the way toexceptional healthcare quality at Bron-son, in our state, and our nation. Weappreciate their focus on patients andfamilies and appreciate their compas-sion and expertise.Nurses at Bronson Methodist Hospi-

tal recently achieved, for a secondfour-year period, Magnet recognition –the highest honor an organization canachieve for professional nursing prac-tice. To date, only seven percent ofU.S. hospitals have earned this distinc-tion. Nurses at Bronson Battle Creek,Bronson LakeView Hospital, andBronson Methodist Hospital are work-ing together to improve quality andsafety and we are very proud of theiraccomplishments! They have alreadyreduced the number of patient falls,cut the risk of infections, and helpedlower the number of patients readmit-ted to the hospital.Nurses are educators, problem-

solvers, caregivers and friends. Health-care delivery systems and processes

may be changing, but one role thatwill always be constant is the commit-ment, advocacy and leadership nursesdisplay at the bedside for patients andfamilies. Please help us thank nurses atBronson and throughout our commu-nity during National Nurses Week. AsBronson’s chief nursing officers, we’reso proud of our nursing teams and thecare they provide. Help us recognizethem by sharing your experience atbronsonhealth.com/daisy.
