The village of Tresckow has become a poster child for everything
that's gone wrong in America. In a classic book called
"Generations" historians theorize that societies go through an
80-year cycle of growth and decay.  America in general and
Tresckow, in particular, are at the end of a cycle called an
unraveling. During times like these societies lose their moral
center, what Lincoln called "a government OF the people." When
this happens, churches, schools, governments and other
institutions become corrupt and fall apart. Evil sees its
opportunities and history teaches us that evil wins when good
people do nothing.  I became a supporter of supervisors Theresa
Shott and Walter Bobowski because of their heroic effort to do
something for the citizens of Banks Township. We can't fight the
battle everywhere, but we don't live everywhere. We live here!
If bad people can join together to do evil, why can't good
people join together for the welfare of their community? I can't
help but reflect on the biblical battle
