In The News: Albion to consider changing to K-8 model On April 26, a public meeting was held in Albion with over 100 participants representing the Albion School Board, the teaching staff and the community to explore four proposals on how their district could provide a K-12 education to their students next year. The Albion School District, like many other smaller districts in the state, is facing a rising financial deficit that can only be addressed through significant restructuring of their services and offerings. Albion is looking to change to a K8 community-centered school, while assuring a secondary high school education to its students through a cooperative agreement with Marshall Public Schools and the Olivet Schools.

Tom Duffey bids farewell to MHS After 39 years with Marshall Public Schools- 36 as math teacher and three years as athletic director, Tom Duffey will officially retire June 14. “It was a tough decision, but it’s time to go,” said Duffey. “It’s time to let somebody younger come in and do the job. It’s going to be different - getting up and not going to work every day. I’ll do some other things; what that will be, I don’t know.” But Duffey said he has no regrets about coming to Marshall and that it has has been a wonderful place for he and his wife to raise their three children.

Holocaust survivor shares her story with Marshall students Holocaust survivor Miriam Miasnik Brysk, 78, of Ann Arbor told her haunting story to a crowd of Marshall Middle School, Marshall High School and Marshall Alternative High School students on April 17 about how as a young child she survived near death experience after near death experience in Poland during World War II. “I didn’t know what it meant early on to be a survivor, except that it was harder to break into normal life,” Brysk said. But later in life, Brysk said she realized the importance of sharing her experience. “[I do it to] tell the story of my family and my people,” she said. ”I am afraid there will come a time when people will say enough already. I worry when that day happens that the Holocaust will be forgotten along with the memory of the last survivor.” See story on page 36

Word on the Street
Why is it important to expose students to career options early on?
Editor’s Corner
At the April 25 Career Day, hosted by the Albion-Marshall-Mar Lee Collaboration, hundreds of students got the opportunity to ask questions and learn about different career choices including education options, manufacturing, industry and agriculture.
by John Hendler Now that my kids are older, I find that I’m starting to sound like my father did when I was a teenager as I regale about those “good old days” when I was their age and how we were living the high life, complete with our vinyl records, push button phones and UHF antennas so we could watch old cartoons like Underdog or Wally Gator on channels at the high end of the spectrum like 51 or 63. Those were the days, I say, when we didn’t have fancy e-mail or texting to distract us from our ballgames in the street or from our board games like Monopoly or Stratego. When I was away at college in the mid 1980s, I remember that the highlight of many a day for me as well as my friends was the daily mail delivery. Oh, how we'd gather around and crowd the R.A. as he or she would put the mail in our tiny 3 x 5 mailboxes, not wanting to waste a second to retrieve our mail once the delivery was complete. Sure it was nice to get the occasional letter from home, but frankly, it didn't matter what we got, as long as we got something. I think back to how excited I was to receive my first credit card statement. Yes, look at me I have a credit card, I stupidly would declare. Once, my roommate and I accidentally received three straight issues of Cosmo intended for the girls who lived in the room next door. Like the idiots we were, we thought that by “spying” on what girls were reading about, we would be able to be more successful with the ladies. So “successful” were we that a couple of years later, we spent New Year's Eve cleaning out our kitchen cabinets, watching Revenge of the Nerds as the clock struck midnight, the irony lost on the both of us. These days, receiving e-mails and text messages is greeted with the same excitement as the snail mail was nearly three decades ago. That “excitement,” however, seems to also be affecting our productivity. Surveys have revealed that more than half of U.S. workers waste an hour or more each day on interruptions with 60 percent coming from electronic devices and e-mails, with 45 percent of workers saying they can't go more than 15 minutes, on average, without an interruption. I would bet those interruptions are mainly self-induced. I estimate that I check my e-mail or message inbox some 3040 times a day, and I'd say that about 99 percent of those messages are ones that I could live without. But, like back in the day, it doesn't matter where the message is coming from; mail is mail, and I think it makes us feel good to think that we are important enough to receive…something, even if it is from a scam artist in Ghana. Well, at least I do, although the volume of mail I receive has become quite annoying as my inbox now exceeds more than 8,000 messages with about 1,500 unread. Well, so much for the modern mailbox. I missed this year's “Clean Out Your Inbox Week” (yet again) but I'll be ready for it next year, as long as I get the message when it is. Wasn't technology supposed to make our lives less complicated? Oh, to be back in the good old, simple days just reading Cosmo and drinking New Coke. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

“We live in a society where we earn income based on what we can produce. If we are able to tap into students’ creative minds, we will be able to expand what we produce as an economy.”
“I feel that kids today live in such a media world. They don’t have a good grasp of what happens after the ‘fun days’ are over - get a job, pay bills or be responsible. This will help them with that.”
“Businesses and industries need skilled laborers. This is a time for high school students to start planning early on. We hope we can help them meet their needs and goals to do that.”

“It’s important to help them start researching and asking questions now. There are a broad range of opportunities out there. It’s important to help them see that they can do something they are interested in.”
“This shows them there are opportunities available for them. There are a selection of careers they can choose from and it’s great exposure for the kids. I was impressed with the students’ questions.”
“It simply plants a seed for them to begin to think about what they might do, and it gives them a plethora of choices. All the employers here appreciated the opportunity to get in front of the students."

Restricting Oaklawn Hospital’s growth is short-sighted To the Editor: As a private citizen who works in Marshall, I’m concerned that the Hospital Campus Overlay District approval is being challenged. A referendum and lawsuit have been filed against the city of Marshall. If enough signatures are gathered, it will most likely be another year before the much needed parking for the Emergency Department at Oaklawn is complete. The lawsuit being filed is going to add tens of thousands of dollars in
legal expenses to the city. These dollars could have been spent on services, but now the city will be required to defend their actions in a court of law. Being a good community partner, the hospital undertook a three-year process including citizens from their neighborhood in order to come to a compromise. The recommendation put forth by the committee was submitted to the planning commission and City Council. Both groups talked
with the public to get input before coming to a conclusion. The City Council, the group that was elected by the people in two different elections throughout this process, voted unanimously to pass the HCOD. The HCOD simply provides the proper zoning for the hospital’s planned growth for the next 20 years – projects will still need to be approved individually. One thing that needs to be clarified is that the HCOD only allows hospital related
business to be conducted within it. The downtown will not see competition from their neighbor, but rather additional customers. The hospital has over 1,000 employees who are spending money, living in, and paying taxes in Marshall. To restrict their growth is short-sighted. Please remember to support your hospital if approached by someone asking you to sign a petition, and “just say no.” Catherine Yates, Homer
Sign the petition to show support for our American rights To the Editor: I would like to publicly commend Bob Mees for his excellent and insightful letter, which was published in the ad-visor&chronicle on April 20. His communication discussed the fact that hospital supporters are asking residents of Marshall to not sign any petitions as a show of support for Oaklawn Hospital. It is what his response letter stirred in me that result in the correspondence that you see
before you now. Regardless of where you stand on the hospital issue, please do not allow anyone to take away your right to vote your conscience in the privacy of the voting booth, free of fear or retaliation. Please do not allow anyone to circumvent the democratic process that our great nation was built upon. Throughout our nation’s history, good men and women have fought and died
for the rights that some are now asking you to disallow your fellow residents from exercising. I am asking that you sign the petition as a show of support for each and every veteran who has sacrificed so that we may continue to live in a democratic society. Ann Rozsi, Marshall
Extending Medicaid coverage makes perfect sense To the Editor: Gov. Rick Snyder has strongly recommended extending Medicaid to the 470,000 Michigan residents of all ages who live in households with incomes of 133 percent or less of poverty level. This makes sense. It will enable these people to obtain inexpensive preventive
care when a condition first appears, rather than waiting until it requires costly emergency-room treatment (and possibly even long-term hospitalization) which could have been prevented by early attention. In the long run, that means both better health and less outlay for everyone lower costs for the healthcare providers,
and also lower insurance premiums for households and individuals. Please urge our Lansing legislators, Senator Mike Nofs and Representatives Jase Bolger or Kate Segal, to support this needed program. Robina Quale-Leach, Albion

Soccer suffers first loss of season But team bounces back with 5-0 win at BCC The Marshall High School girls varsity soccer team, saw its season-opening winning streak stopped at six following a 1-0 home defeat to SMAC East rival Gull Lake on April 22. “Gull Lake is a very good team and I thought we created several chances but we were just one touch away from being able to finish,” said Marshall coach Adrian Harkey. “I was very pleased with our defensive effort. We only allowed them one real opportunity and to their credit, they took advantage. We kept them out of the box and forced them to take long shots that did not cause goalkeeper Kelsey Postema any problems. To have a chance at the SMAC East title, we will have to win out and look for help. Two days later at Battle Creek Central, Brianna Kalisz’s hat trick paved Marshall to a 5-0 win. After hosting Vicksburg Friday evening (April 26), Marshall hosts Coldwater on April 29 and plays at Harper Creek May 1 and at Lakeview on May 3.

Brianna Kalisz had three goals at Battle Creek Central April 24 to lead Marshall to a 5-0 victory that improved Marshall’s record to 7-1.
Abbey Ufkes beats the BCC defense to score Marshall’s second goal of the first half April 24.
Lauren Feasel gets off the tricky first half shot at BCC April 24. That shot went wide, but Feasel would score a goal in the second half in Marshall’s 5-0 win.
Marshall Jr. Football golf outing is May 19 Marshall Junior Football is very proud of its football program and the 160 young athletes who play on its teams. Marshall Junior Football would like to take this opportunity to ask the community to show its support for this program by taking part in its annual golf outing fundraiser and silent auction dinner on May 19 at The Medalist Golf Club. With safety being the number one concern, all the proceeds from the outing will go towards updating helmets, ordering appropriate pads, fresh drinking water sta-
tions, and much more. The event begins with a 10a.m. shotgun start. The event is an 18-hole four-person scramble format with prizes, raffles, a Hole-In-One opportunity to win a Free Car through Boshears Ford, cart, tee gift, lunch and dinner. Entry fees are $80 per player or $320 per team. New this year is the opportunity to support the program by only coming to the dinner and silent auction; ticket prices are $15 per person. Hole sponsorships are also a great way to help the Marshall Junior Football program. The $100
Layla Harkey suffered a knee injury in Marshall’s 1-0 loss to Gull Lake April 22. Harkey, along with teammate Sydney Reichenbaugh (bruised foot), inset, did not play at Battle Creek Central on April 24.
