In The News:
The pros and cons of the elementary school debate It was a standing room only crowd (with many seated on the floor) March 11 as Marshall Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Randy Davis held a second work session on the possible restructuring of the district's three elementary schools. Whereas the February work session focused on the advantages and disadvantages of the traditional configuration, last week's work session focused on non-traditional models. The non-traditional models included possible two-tiered models such as a Kindergarten through 2nd grade split housed at Gordon and Hughes elementary schools and grades 3-5 "unified" at Walters Elementary.

The art of quilting is a journey of color and inspiration, a visual feast of imagination and expression.
Former Red Cross board members share concerns about branch status What was known as the Calhoun and Branch County Chapter of the American Red Cross, located at 14600 Beadle Lake Rd. in Battle Creek, recently changed its status to a branch leaving some in the community with questions about future service delivery. “Nothing has changed as it relates to services provided to the public,” said Chief Operating Officer Mike Mitchell with the Red Cross West Michigan Region on Jan. 24. “...Those core services we provide to the community we still provide today and will provide tomorrow.” But former Red Cross staff, board members and volunteers with the Battle Creek location have voiced their concerns about the transition, which no longer includes an executive director and a 14-person governing board (members of which have all resigned).

Irish heritage runs deep in Marshallities’ veins When returning to Ireland, Thelma Wayward and her daughter Maureen Mickus of Marshall say they don’t feel like visitors but more like family returning to their homeland. “The Irish are a very hospitable people,” Wayward said. “They are loving people, with big hearts. They always make you feel welcome when you go there. There are no strangers in Ireland.” Wayward has made a total of eight trips while Mickus just returned from her 20th trip last week.

Vigil marks the ninth year since Mary Lands’ disappearance March 12 marked the ninth anniversary since the disappearance of Mary Denise Lands, the woman who went missing from her Marshall apartment in 2004 never to be seen again. Lands’ family and friends gathered with loved ones at a vigil held at the Brooks Memorial Fountain on Tuesday. “The community has had a broken heart for nine years,” said Eric Falker, director of student ministries at the Marshall United Methodist Church, in a prayer during the vigil. “May Mary’s memory never be forgotten and may we stand up for the victims of domestic violence. Today can be a hope of a new beginning for all of us.” See story on page 15
Stitches in Time
March 23 and 24
Sap collection begins at Gordon School One of the most exciting ways for children to learn a variety of academic skills is through a multidimensional activity. Such an activity began recently at Gordon School when Kevin Dunn, his daughters Alyssa and Sara Dunn and their friend Melissa Arnold visited Gordon School to tap three of the maple trees on the grounds of the school. The students will be selling the sap so people can make their own syrup at home. See story on page 24
H

Word on the Street
Would you pay more for better roads? Editor’s Corner
The arrival of spring means warmer weather (hopefully), but also an increase in the number of potholes that are already numerous in our area. Hypothetically, would you be willing to pay a “ pothole tax” to fix the roads?
by John Hendler Last week marked six years since I wrote my first column at was then the Marshall Chronicle. My column centered around sports and the Star Spangled Banner as well as my experience living in Italy. For those of you who missed reading that gem (which is probably 99 percent of you), here’s what you missed: Legend has it that during World War II, the anthem was played before social, entertainment and sporting events to boost morale and to honor our troops overseas, much like how after 9/11, God Bless America was substituted for Take Me Out To The Ballgame at Major League games. It seems these days, the only place you are going to hear the Star Spangled Banner is before a sporting event where are people are excited for the game to start. And even though they’ll stand and most will take off their hats, you’ll see some (especially at pro sporting events) chatting (sometimes on the phone), roaming about and getting antsy wanting the game to start. I admit, that in the past, I was guilty a time or two. That all changed when I moved to Italy in 2000. Going overseas for vacation and going overseas to live are two entirely different matters. Although far from home, when on vacation, you know that great or awful, you’ll be home in a few days. Going for three years, or roughly 1,100 days however, feels like you’re living in exile. No matter how much Italian I thought I learned before my arrival, none of my CD programs really prepared me for real life conversation. I thought I knew how to ask for a loaf of bread. But not before the man in the market looked at me as if I came from some other planet or the United States when I said in my best faux-Italian accent: Signore gentile, potreste transportatre pane che e sulla vostra parte posteriore? Translation: Kind sir, could you transport bread that is on your posterior? One day, as I was taking my kids to school in Naples at the NATO base, we decided to stop and have breakfast at the U.S. Naval Hospital. A full breakfast there cost $1.35 in case you were wondering. Eggs, bacon, French Toast, etc. It had been so long since I ate a real, unhealthy American breakfast. Not to mention the kids loved it because they could watch Sesame Street in the dining room. As we headed out after eating, we saw everyone stop in their tracks. It was 8 a.m. Time to raise the flags. And there, for the first time in the four months since I left the U.S., I heard the Star Spangled Banner. In Naples, overlooking Mount Vesuvius, 5,000 miles from home. It never sounded so sweet. It gave me goosebumps and brought a tear to my eye. I had never been prouder to be an American than at that moment. For the first time, I really listened to the music. It was to become one of my most pleasant memories of my three years in Italy. It was there that I truly appreciated what a wonderful place our country is and how I couldn’t wait to get back. Well, I’ve been back nearly 10 years and each and every time I have heard the anthem since, I think back to that October morning in 2000. So, when you see me at all the sporting events during the Star Spangled Banner, you know what I’ll be thinking of, standing at attention, proud to be an American. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

“I would, because the roads in Michigan are just awful.”
“It would depend on what the percentage would be. Probably not higher than 1 or 2 percent.”
“I would pay. I’m tired of potholes basically breaking my vehicle.”
Ian Schnaitman, Marshall
Paul Herman, Marshall
Doug Wolff, Marshall
“Probably not. I would hope our elected officials would find the money and would make it a priority to fix the roads.”
“No. We already pay enough taxes. We pay for the roads already.”
“I would agree to it if the money was managed right and the roads got fixed.”
Letters Hang up the phone on Medicare scam artists To the Editor: Dear senior citizens, The scam artists are at the phones again. When you answer your phone and you can’t understand the heavily accented voice claiming she is calling for Medicare and she needs to confirm your phone
number and address because Medicate is replacing identification cards, just hang up. Don’t worry about being polite; hang up. Medicare does not replace the identification cards. These callers will continue asking personal questions and imply-
ing that Medicare will post your monthly allotment to your bank, but they need the bank and routing numbers. Whoa! That is a non-no. Your bank routing will mysteriously be changed and you will say “goodbye” to your monthly stipend.
Remember hang up on these callers. Medicare’s phone number is 1-800-6334227. Medicare will direct you to call the Inspector General’s Hotline/Quad line at 1800-447-8477. Verla Potts, Marshall
Do as the city says, not as the city does To the Editor: I read with amusement the “City of Marshall Public Notice” dated March 6 by Trisha Nelson, city clerk. The notice stated, “In accordance with Section 90.23 of the Marshall City Code the owner or occupant of any lot or building shall not permit snow or ice to remain on the sidewalk in front or adjacent to the lot or building. The owner of occupant shall remove any snow or ice from the streets or sidewalks within 24 hours of a snow or ice storm, of the city may remove the snow or ice and charge the expense of removal to the property owner.”
Seriously? Are the citizens of Marshall now required to remove snow or ice from the streets? Four years ago there was a Street Department with employees who drove snowplows and cleared the city streets during these types of inclement weather. Has that department now been phased out due to insufficient funds in the coffers? On March 9, I walked the length of the boardwalk located in front of the city owned Utility Services Building to South Kalamazoo Avenue and back on the paved sidewalk abutting the river. According to my notes, our last snowfall oc-
curred on Feb. 27. Along both walkways were many areas where snow and/or ice had not been removed and may have caused a hazard to anyone along these pathways that are open to the public. Since this property is city owned, does that disqualify them from having to remove snow and ice from their own sidewalks? I would like to think that they concerned about the welfare and safety to the public. Perhaps the public notice should include a postscript at the end reading, “Do as the city says, not as the city does.” Phyllis Katz, Battle Creek
A legally flawed hospital zoning plan To the Editor: Aside from the fact that many residential and commercial property owners near Oaklawn Hospital continue to oppose the Hospital Campus Overlay District, the City Council and the city attorney appear to be prepared to adopt a legally flawed hospital zoning plan. There are eight properties that have been the focus of the most recent HCOD discussions. Four are on the west side of High St. between Mansion and Prospect streets, two are on Prospect bordering the
Ricketson Center’s parking lot and the other two are the Magic Museum Library and the Franke Center For The Arts. The Council’s plan was to leave these eight properties out of the HCOD while simultaneously creating an easy (legally questionable) way for the hospital to get the parcels added to the HCOD whenever the hospital requests a resolution of council. During the deliberations of the Hospital and Neighborhood Committee, the only demonstrated need Oaklawn pre-
sented was for additional parking. Other “needs” were expressed as maybes and possibilities but not concrete as to time, place or plans. The mayor and Council should be discussing ways to address the current parking needs rather than trying to adopt a zoning plan intended to handle a 20-year guess at what might be needed some day. Charles F. Johnston, Marshall

Swett again!! Marshall’s Henry Swett repeats as state diving champion
photos by Steve Weck
Marshall High School boys diving coach Terry Howard congratulates Henry Swett on the podium after the MHS sophomore repeated as Div. 3 state champion March 8 at Eastern Michigan University. Swett won the title with a score of 431.20. “His score did not reflect how well he dove,” said Howard. “I felt the scores for Henry were low. With the way Henry dove, he should have scored between 470 and 500 points.” Swett was in first place by 8 points by the end of the first day of competition and extended his lead by 20 points at the end of the second day. Swett’s teammates Kyle Weck, below left, and Matthew Howard, below, with Swett and Weck also qualified for and competed at the state meet, with Weck placing 26th. “It was another great year for Marshall diving and the team continues to grow stronger,” said Howard.
Marshall’s Brice Banfield, right, competing in the 100-yard breastroke at the Div. 3 state meet held at Eastern Michigan University March 8-9. Marshall swimmers Mack Preston, Stuart Murch, Josh Turner, Tyler MacFarland, Levi Graves, Jack Herman and Cam Ragan also competed at the state meet.

Regional champs ousted in quarterfinals Marshall’s season ends with loss to Grand Rapids South Christian
The Marshall High School girls varsity basketball team saw its season come to an end in the state quarterfinals for a second straight year following a 53-29 loss to Grand Rapids South Christian on March 12 in Wayland. After Marshall jumped out to a 6-0 lead, Grand Rapids South Christian then went on a 13-0 run. Marshall got as close as one point, 15-14, late in the first quarter but would get no closer the rest of the way as the Redhawks were held to four points in the second quarter; five points in the third; and six points in the fourth. “It’s disappointing because we didn’t play our best when it counted the most,” said Marshall coach Sal Konkle, above, seen talking to her team during a timeout. “Our girls tried very hard; it’s just that South Christian played very well...The fact that we got to the quarterfinals two years in a row speaks a lot about the girls’ dedication and how hard they’ve worked.” Laura VanDyke and Logan Kiessling each scored eight points to lead Marshall, which finished the season with a record of 20-5. Right: Sarah Huffman guards South Christian’s Anna Timmer. Far right: The Marshall bench watches in anticipation as Tierra Orban, bottom right, goes to the free throw line to break a 4949 tie with just over three seconds to play in the regional final March 7.
The team celebrates after winning the regional title March 7 following a 50-49 win over Stevensville-Lakeshore.
