Some dogs go to Haven
By Izzi Bendall
Features Editor
Tucked away off of Blackstone Street, a
little over two miles from the downtown area
and near the interstate, the former Jackson
County Animal Shelter building sits
abandoned. The interior is dark with only
small, translucent windows bordering near
its roof line.
“I never liked the idea of
us hiding the animal shelter operation at
the end of a street, back up against I-94,”
said Randy Treacher, the deputy
administrator for the Jackson shelter.
Treacher proposed the shelter’s move to
Spring Arbor Road before county
commissioners last summer. |

Choice of school
By Will Medick
Senior WriterWhen Launda Wheatley, yoga
instructor, sent her eldest son to Crowell School, a
school in Albion that has since been closed, he and
the other students watched their principal kiss a
pig in order to meet her end of a deal in a student
reading challenge.
“When he got to Crowell school, [it]
was fabulous,” Wheatley said. “Nancy Roush was the
best principal ever. To try to raise reading levels,
she’d have contests [. . .]; it raised morale and
had [students] all buzzed.”
