Tragedy struck this weekend
at A2 STEAM, a K-8 Ann Arbor
public magnet school program
housed in Northside Elementary
School, when a fire Saturday
night killed several chickens
being raised by A2 STEAM
students.
The fire department was
called about 9:20 p.m. with a
report of flames on the side
of the school. According to
Derek Wiseley, Ann Arbor Fire
Battalion chief, when firefighters
arrived on the scene, they found
the adjacent chicken coop to be
on fire.
The fire was put out within
20 minutes of the call, but the
firefighters were unable to save
four of the coop’s five chickens.
The surviving chicken is being
cared for at a local animal
hospital and is expected to
survive.
The incident has taken a
toll on A2 STEAM students and
families, Wiseley told MLive.
Parents and teachers came to the
school Saturday night to offer
help and assess the damage.
“It’s a big deal for these kids
and the parents and everybody,”
Wiseley said. “There were some
parents on the scene that were
clearly upset.”

Monday.
YOUTH SYMPHONY
ON THE DAILY: NO MORE CHICKENS CROSSING THE ROAD
Rep.
John
Sarbanes,
D-Md., attended a roundtable
discussion
with
University
of
Michigan
students
in
the School of Public Policy
Monday, discussing the issues
of
“big-money”
politics,
gerrymandering
and
the
hyperpolarized
partisanship
that he says has developed in
Congress.
Sarbanes
started
by
explaining a unique solution
to eliminate big donors from
controlling
a
politician’s
campaign
funding.
He
proposed
small-donor
matching
for
campaign
funding, with an accompanied
federal tax credit.
Sarbanes claimed this would
enable voters to “reclaim their
democracy.”
“The average citizen feels
like their voice is not being
heard,” Sarbanes said, “Young
people have an important role
to play in figuring out new
approaches to our politics that
can be more empowering.”
Public
Policy
professor
Richard
Hall
moderated
the
discussion.
He
said
he
appreciated
Sarbanes’s
position
on
money
and
campaigning.
“(Sarbanes) is the leader in
the house on campaign finance
reform … (which) hasn’t gained
much traction in a very long
time,”
he
said,
explaining
the importance of smaller
donations.
When
discussing
gerrymandering, Sarbanes said
he supports the Redistricting
Reform Act of 2017, which
would authorize nonpartisan
groups to redraw the districts’
lines to eliminate politicized
districts.
This
is
a
significant
conversation
in
Maryland,
especially
in
Sarbanes’s
district, where large cities
and communities are greatly
divided among districts, he
explained.
He
said
computers
now dictate district lines,
where
they
construct
districts with “precincts
not
communities,”
as
top
priority.
Gerrymandering
in
Michigan is also largely
debated.
Public Policy junior
Jeryne
Fish,
whose
home is in Sarbanes’s
district, said she’s glad
Sarbanes
addressed
topics important to her,
such as the cynicism
between politician and
constituent.
“I think it is rare that
everyday
citizens,
let
alone one’s our age, can
sit down and talk to him
to ask these questions,”
she
said.
“(Sarbanes)
talking to our generation
is a step in the right
direction because all too
many times politicians
say that they don’t have
the time.”
