In The News: Local family loses mementos in house fire On Feb. 24 at 12:16 p.m. Marshall Township Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 244 Squaw Creek Rd., at the home of Bill and Bonnie Chapple. “We got it knocked down really fast,” said Fire Chief Steve Riggs. “The damage was contained to the master bedroom and bathroom, but there was smoke and water damage throughout the house.” The fire, which was caused by cleaning chemicals on a chaise lounge was put out within an hour with the help of 30 area firefighters. “The firefighters did such a miraculously job,” Bonnie said. “I can’t tell you how quickly they responded.” See story on page 12

MPS Board hears survey results Several months back, Marshall Public Schools utilized the firm EPIC-MRA to survey parents and guardians of children living within the MPS district to find out why they send their kids to Marshall schools or why they send their kids to other school districts. At the Feb. 25 Board of Education business session, Superintendent Dr. Randy Davis shared some of the findings with the board. Of those surveyed that said they send their children to Marshall schools, 31 percent said they do so because of location and closeness; 21 percent said they do so because of the quality of the education; 11 percent cited being pro-community school; 6 percent cited convenience; and 5 percent cited good teachers.

Ginger Williams celebrates the seasons of her life Oaklawn Hospital President/CEO Ginger Williams’ affinity for Oaklawn has been tracked since she was hired as an ER doctor in 1994. In that role, and later as the hospital’s first chief medical officer (2005), she has been seen and heard promoting and applauding the services and staff of the facility. “I’m blessed to have the privilege of working every day with gifted, skilled and compassionate people, all dedicated to giving their personal best – and the best possible care – to their community.

What are you reading and why do you enjoy it? March is Reading Month and we asked these six people what they are currently reading and why it interests them.
Editor’s Corner by John Hendler March Madness is here. Sure, the NCAA tournament is still a couple of weeks away, but to hear the politicians in Washington over the past few days, the country as we know it will no longer be after The Sequester. I must point out that I am writing this column around midday on Thursday, some 12 hours before it is officially March 1 or officially The Sequester . The name evokes detective shows from the 1970s, like Columbo. Tonight’s episode: The Sequester. Sounds intimidating, doesn’t it? By the time you read this, lawmakers may have worked out a deal, but in all likelihood, any deal that may get “worked out” will be nothing more than the tabling of the issue for another day down the road. Just kick the can down the road. It’s so easy to do. There was a lot of finger pointing of who came up with The Sequester first and who’s at fault as the White House predicted that all sorts of calamities would take place should The Sequester, which amounts to about a 2 percent cut in government spending, were to occur. We heard how thousands of teachers or first responders’ jobs would be lost, how airport security lines would be blocks long, how hundreds of thousands of low-income women and new mothers would lose food aid and nutrition education. There would be 1,200 fewer inspections of dangerous worksites as well as 373,000 seriously ill people losing mental health services. Lots of “could happen” scenarios. The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward writes of how President Obama approved the plan put forth by his employees and, in direct contrast to his current rhetoric, agreed to a deal with Republicans that “included an agreement that there would be no tax increases in the sequester in exchange for what the president was insisting on: an agreement that the nation’s debt ceiling would be increased for 18 months, so Obama would not have to go through another such negotiation in 2012, when he was running for reelection.” Rather than the tough medicine President Obama created to begin, on a miniscule scale, addressing our ballooning government spending, he treats sequester as a Frankenstein’s monster birthed by Republicans. But Woodward reminds us that paternity lies firmly at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. But ultimately, one scenario is certain down the road: It is estimated that by 2018, nearly 90 percent of federal spending will solely be for interest on our debt and entitlements like Social Security. Spending can only take you so far and the day of reckoning is getting closer and closer as the road we’re kicking things down on is getting shorter and shorter. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

The Hospital Campus Overlay District legally flawed To the Editor: We, the board members of the Marshall Neighborhood Association, Mike Galloway, Holly Harnden, Glenda Jackson, Jerry Lehmann, Tim McCaleb, Janet Ostrum and Martin Overhiser, would like to tell you the main reasons why we, and many of our friends and neighbors, do not support the proposed Oaklawn Hospital Campus Overlay District (HCOD). Our City Council is hoping to put controversy behind them Monday evening, March 4 by adopting the HCOD after a public hearing. There is one big problem. What council is intending to adopt is not legal. The Marshall Neighborhood Association has retained an at-
torney who is experienced in planning and zoning law. It is his opinion that the proposed hospital zoning district can not be legally adopted. Things just do not add up for those of us who have closely followed the creation of this enlarged hospital zone. The hospital has no plans to expand. Certificates of need to expand have not been filed with the State. Construction of new hospital buildings may never be needed. Where is the demonstrated need to rezone residential properties for future hospital expansion? Community hospitals are being bought out or merged with larger hospitals all over the country. Bronson now
owns and operates the hospital in Battle Creek. If our hospital merges with a larger hospital, it is likely that services or departments will be moved to other sites. Additional parking may be the only current need. If the proposed zoning district passes we are most likely to see structures demolished and surface parking lots built. If you question what the hospital is proposing you may be labeled as “not hospital friendly.” The problem with this thinking is we do not have open discussion about what is best for our community. If you rely on local medical care, wish the hospital success, are a council person, own a local busi-
ness, work for the hospital, contract with the hospital or have friends, family or neighbors working for the hospital (which is essentially all of us) you may feel obligated to support whatever Oaklawn Hospital proposes. As a community we should think and plan holistically. The city’s Master Plan needs to be updated to consider the future needs of the entire town including downtown, the hospital and neighborhoods. Mayor Jim Dyer and City Council, we request you not enact the proposed, legally flawed single focus HCOD ordinance. Marshall Neighborhood Association Board of Directors
AYSO welcomes new board members, regional commissioner To the Editor: Marshall AYSO Region 1097 has provided soccer opportunities in Marshall for more than 15 years. The region has benefited from many volunteers who have given their time and money to follow the mission to develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs which promote a fun, family environment based on AYSO’s Six Philosophies. Much has changed over the past three years with many individuals serving on the board of directors. This year brings a new board and I wanted to recognized Jen Russell, Tina Wilson, Adrian Harkey, Chet Robson, Kim Kerr, Marlena Smith, Karen Rupp
and Jim DeBrabander for their important role they played in assisting our organization during my tenure. We welcome Tammy Giannunzio, Robyn Murphy, Kristin Froehlich and Josh Hills to the board. Our complete board of directors and positions can be found at MarshallAYSO.org. While their term may have ended, many will still stay involved in an advisory capacity. As I complete my term in May, I welcome Josh Hills as your new regional commissioner. We have and will continue to accomplish as much as we can in providing a quality and fun soccer experience to your children. In addition to the board, I value the
more than 140 volunteers who coach, referee and support our organization. Your work is needed and appreciated. Finally, we strive to offer the best value in youth sports and for under $100 you can get a full year of soccer with trained coaches and a complete uniform. We have benefited from the financial support and in kind donations by Caron Chevrolet, FUG Graphics, Family Tree Garden Center and Boshears Ford. We continue to evolve our relationship with Marshall Soccer Club and build to the future. Chuck Selinger, Regional Commissioner Marshall AYSO 1097
