Oaklawn Auction features...
RE/MAX International tells Rosemary Davis Realtors to change sign citing copyright infringement Last November, a letter from RE/MAX International in Denver arrived at the offices of Rosemary Davis Realtors in Marshall. “We saw the letter was from RE/MAX International (based in Denver, Colo.) and so we’re thinking they want to recruit us,” said realtor Matt Davis. Far from wanting to recruit Rosemary Davis Realtors, RE/MAX, in the letter, stated that Rosemary Davis signs were in violation of RE/MAX’s trademark registrations and asked that the Marshall office voluntarily adopt a new sign design that was sufficiently different from the RE/MAX sign to avoid customer confusion.

Planning Commission recommends changes to city for Oaklawn’s expansion The Marshall Planning Commission discussed Oaklawn Hospital’s expansion plans and its recommendations for Marshall City Council regarding the Hospital Campus Overlay District at its meeting Wednesday. “We were disappointed that the 14 months of work and the seven consultant’s reports that were used to determine the boundaries were voted down in most instances with a 4-3 vote,” Covert said. “We are now looking to proceed to the city council with the comments from the Hospital and Neighborhood Committee and the Marshall Planning Commission.” See story on page 48

Women’s Self Defense Seminar to be held on March 23, hosted by local business The most important thing for a woman to understand, says martial arts instructor T. Kent Nelson, is that she doesn’t have to be a victim. “I think self defense is important for anybody,” said Nelson. “We all have the ability to be potential victims.” With the support of local business owner Greg McComb of Maximum Ammunition, a self defense seminar will be held on March 23 at Mar Lee School.

Word on the Street What should be done about Iran? Editor’s Corner by John Hendler I read an interesting piece last week online at thehistoryplace.com titled Nazis March into the Rhineland, that recounts how, in March 1935, Hitler decided that Germany would openly defy the military limitations set by the Treaty of Versailles and re-arm. Hitler waited to see what the reactions of France and Great Britain would be, but there were none Hitler surmised, because the two nations didn’t have the stomachs to respond militarily. Still, the move caused concern in Europe and Hitler, a couple months later announced: “Germany wants peace. None of us means to threaten anybody.” Hitler even went as so far to draw up a 13-point peace plan with all sorts of assurances. A year later, three battalions of the German Army crossed the Rhine River into the Rhineland, a demilitarized area extending west to the French border. Again no action was taken against the Nazis and again Hitler made promises: “We have no territorial demands to make in Europe. Germany will never break the peace.” The rest, they say, is history. Now, once again, history seems to be repeating itself as Iran, and its leader, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad proceed with its nuclear program, a program, they stress, is for peaceful purposes only despite rhetoric to the contrary. Over the past several years, numerous requests for transparency have been ignored as Iran went ahead undeterred. Now, experts believe Iran is on the precipice of producing its first nuclear weapon while the world sits back and watches and essentially takes no action. At the very least, a nuclear Iran means that Ahmadinejad will be able to hold the U.S. and its allies hostage whenever they feel like shaking things up, while the worst-case scenario has Iran passing off nuclear weapons to its terrorist proxies or using them itself. We are nearing the point where it will be too late to stop them; that very small window to do so is closing more and more every day. This day of reckoning has been in the works for years. The question is, who will stand up to this bully before it’s too late? Until next week, may the good news be yours. P.S. Don’t forget to “spring forward” and set your clock ahead one hour on Sunday and be prepared to be very tired on Monday morning.
Last week, President Obama indicated that he would be willing to use military force to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon but also said that a window of opportunity still existed for Iran to prove its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
Al Dupree, Marshall
Ben Lee, Jackson
Craig Berens, Kalamazoo
“Put pressure on them to come to the table or else use military action against them and side with Israel if they should be attacked.”
“Iran cannot have nukes. It will cause a global crisis. We have to do whatever we can to not let that happen.”
“Stay with sanctions and hold off militarily until we know for sure they have a nuclear weapon, at which point, we attack them.”
Dennis Urquhart, Marshall
Lenore Fokken, Pinckney
Mike Fokken, Pinckney
“Diplomacy always has to be at the forefront. Let’s talk peace before we go to war.”
“Try diplomatic means first. Failing that, we need to contain them through strategic bombing and protect our interests.”
“Containment through any means necessary.”

Marshall, we truly worked wonders together To the Editor, Once again, the Marshall community has gone above and beyond to support the Marshall United Way Campaign. We are extremely grateful to all of the generous contributors who together made it possible for us to exceed our 2011-2012 goal of $130,000 by more than 20 percent. Despite harsh economic times, Marshall United Way volunteers raised $159,806. What a wonderful commitment toward helping
others. Campaign Chair Mike Caron, along with myself, and co-chair AJ Hale, would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the many volunteers, campaign workers and employers who supported this year’s campaign. Each year, our dedicated volunteers devise creative ways of encouraging co-workers, individuals and companies to show their support of the Marshall United Way. Their dedication ensures our ongo-
ing mission to support education, help people achieve financial stability and promote healthy lives across our community. These wonderful volunteers and employers have made it possible to realize our campaign motto: Working Wonders Together. On behalf of the Marshall United Way Board of Directors, Executive Director Patty Franke, and the many agencies and organizations supported by the Marshall United Way, your 2011-2012
co-chairs extend our deepest thanks to everyone who made this year’s campaign a resounding success. We invite everyone to help continue Working Wonders Together through the Marshall United Way. To keep track of your contributions at work and get the latest information, please visit our newly updated website at www.marshallunitedway.org. Annette Campau, 2012-2013 Campaign Chair
Assuring protections for our senior citizens To the Editor: AARP asks every presidential candidate four questions: “How would you help Americans, especially seniors, find work and improve the economy for us all?” “Nearly half our retirees rely mainly on Social Security income. How would you help people save additionally for retirement?” “How would you protect Social Security for today’s seniors and strengthen it for future generations?” “How would you
strengthen Medicare financially and protect today’s seniors and future retirees from the burden of rising health costs?” Most of us feel responsible only for ourselves, our children and our parents. Yet at any time, illness, accident or other unexpected income loss—whether from losing a job or from a natural or an economic catastrophe—can play havoc with our expectations. Consequently, we all need support programs based on insurance’s fundamental princi-
ple: The more who contribute, the less each contributor needs to pay to be sure of receiving the expected benefits. We buy insurance on our homes and possessions for fear of loss by fire, theft, vandalism, and other causes. We pay taxes to protect ourselves from ignorance and need, as well as from enemies, criminals, and fires. Lack of good schooling harms both the ignorant and those whom their ignorance damages, either physically or financially. And we all lose
Want to voice your opinion?
when anyone cannot contribute to society because of needing adequate food, shelter, clothing, health care, or utilities—not just those actually in need. Social Security and Medicare assure this kind of protection for seniors. Consequently, our presidential candidates’ answers to these questions matter fundamentally to us all. Robina Quale-Leach, Albion
