Marshall High School Top 10 seniors honored Nothing says high school graduation is just around the corner more than when the Top 10 academic seniors from Marshall High School are honored by the Marshall Exchange Club and Marshall Rotary Club. The chapters held their annual joint luncheon May 1 to honor Top 10 seniors Jonathan Baxter, Shane Fitzsimmons, Michael Graves, Laura Peterson, Nicholas Ramon, Anna Seifert, Victoria Sell, Andrew Stevens, Patrick Stillson and Christopher Wilson.

911 Yes Committee holds kick-off event to discuss surcharge option on Aug. 7 ballot On May 1, the 9-1-1 Yes Committee hosted a county-wide kickoff event with three presentations in Calhoun County regarding the funding options for the Calhoun County 911 Consolidated Dispatch Center. “No one is going to argue we have to have 911 and it has to be paid for,” Yes Committee member Kelli Scott said. “Regardless of which way the voters decide, it will be covered by phone bills or property taxes. We feel the more equitable way is with phone bills. The alternative is you leave it to your local government to figure it out for you. It just depends on which method are people are willing to support. I think it’s a good thing to ask the voters.” See story on page 7
Marshall Alternative High School student Ann Sutherland Ann Sutherland admits to being a quiet person and doesn’t think she’d be a good interview. “I’m not a very interesting person; sorry,” says Ann, 18, a soon-to-be- graduate of the Marshall Alternative High School. A year ago, as a sophomore at Marshall High School, Ann was struggling, getting low marks and wondering if she’d even be able to stay in school, let alone graduate. See story on page 16
The truth to the aftermath of trauma No one but ourselves can free our minds - late Reggae singer Bob Marley. That was the message spread by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky at a recent trauma exposure workshop held April 18 in Battle Creek during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. “As humans, we are exposed to suffering and trauma and there is a cumulative toll,” Lipsky said. “It changes you, your business and the lives you’re living.” Lipsky explained the 16 signs of trauma and what to do to combat them to a group of more than 120 officials who work in the fields of law enforcement, health, judicial and sexual assault.

PRESERVING THE PAST
Interns assist Marshall Police Department The Marshall Police Department has been receiving a little extra help over the last few months thanks to two local interns who have been completing some area studies in Marshall. “We are here for them to further their education, but as part of their internship we want them to do one project that will benefit us as well,” said MPD Det./Lt. Scott McDonald said. “We are trying to make it a win/win for both sides. Having the interns here allows us to get done some of the extras we want to get done and are not capable of doing.” See story on page 56
M
ay is National Preservation Month and this year’s theme is “Discover America's Hidden Gems.” Communities from coast to coast are filled with unexplored historic treasures—and May’s the month to celebrate them!

What is your fondest memory of your mother? Editor’s Corner
Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 13. This time of year, many people are thinking about the perfect gift to get for their mother. But what the ad-visor&chronicle would like to know is when your think of you mom, what is the one memory of her that stands out in your mind?
by John Hendler Steve Jobs once said, “Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly and get on with improving your other innovations.” I, in my efforts to “innovate” a way to tell the story of the Marshall High School Prom and alternative prom saga in objective fashion, stumbled in my brief introduction into the controversy in last week’s issue. I was informed that some MHS staff members were upset over misinformation concerning the Winterfest Dance in March and ticket sales for the prom. Re-reading the piece and learning more about what happened made me realize that I got the story wrong. Here I was, trying to paint what I thought was an accurate picture of what the issue was about, and instead got my colors mixed up. Here is what I wrote: At the Marshall High School Winterfest Dance in March, numbers of students staged a walkout after students took issue with the music selection and styles of dance that were permitted by MHS staff. The walkout closed down the dance soon after it had begun. Two weeks ago, with the May 5 MHS Prom less than a month away, some students who took issue with MHS’ rules at Winterfest, have decided to hold an alternative prom on May 12. As of last Thursday, ticket sales for the alternative prom outpaced the MHS Prom by more than 2 to 1. It was brought to my attention last week that, yes, a number of students left the Winterfest Dance, but the dance was not “closed down,” as several dozen students remained at the dance and had a great time, with many saying that was the most fun they’ve ever had at a dance. That is what I should have written, as it included, as Paul Harvey used to say, The Rest of The Story. As for my reporting that the alternative prom held a 2 to 1 advantage in tickets sold in the days just after the alternative prom was announced, my mistake there was not going directly to those involved with the prom to get an accurate count. Learning from my mistake, Principal Dan Luciani informed me on Thursday that approximately 180 tickets were sold for tonight’s (May 5) prom. Actor Bruce Lee said, “Mistakes are always forgivable if one has the courage to admit them.” Although I always strive to be as objective and accurate as I can be with my reporting, in this instance, I got it wrong and I apologize. That said, kids, have fun (and be safe) at your prom and make it a memorable one for all the right reasons. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

Matt Siebert, Marshall “My mom has always been supportive of my endeavors. She was at every sports game, always there to help with my homework and she even sent me to Europe. She’s always there for me.”
Whitney Tucker, Marshall “We use to show horses together at the Van Buren Fairgrounds. That was always fun.”
Doran Sibert, Marshall
“Every year my mom leaves me a 30 minute long voicemail about the day I was born - how the weather was, how much hair I had, how long my fingernails were - after a boisterous Happy Birthday song. I’m turning 39 this year and I’m looking forward to it.”
“When I was 12, one winter it hadn’t been snowing much and my mom came at midnight and woke me, my brother and our friends up, and we went out on the hill and sled all night.”

In regards to the May 12 alternative prom
To the Editor: A few students at Marshall High School decided that they did not like the rules set forth by the “adults in charge,” so instead of complying, they decided to do it their own way and have their own dance. What are these children, yes, they are still children, going to do when they get out into the real world and are told by their bosses what they are sup-
posed to be doing and they don’t like it? I don’t think that doing it your own way works real well in the working world. I would think that most parents would agree with the plan laid out by the administrators, I know that when my kids were in school that is what I did. There is a reason that there are adults in charge and not children. The high school prom is
the big fundraiser for the junior class and because someone doesn’t like that they have to obey the rules, these kids will be losing out on making some money. It is about togetherness. It is about the juniors doing something special for the seniors before they graduate. It is about creating a bond among the students that will go with them when they graduate. It is about formal dresses
and tuxedos and a special night that you will never forget. Parents, I hope that you are communicating with your children and that they know drinking, drugs and bump and grind do not have a place at a high school function. Kathy Searles, Marshall
U.S. World Book Night event was a success To the Editor: On behalf of the Greater Albion Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, I would like to extend our gratitude to the following people and entities for helping make the first-ever, U.S. World Book Night event such a success. First, thank you to the World Book Night, a nonprofit organization, without whom Albion would not have received and distributed over 500 free books to our community. Their donation of a half million books to communities such as ours throughout the United States is greatly appreciated by everyone who received a free book on April 23. To Albion’s 25 dedicated volunteers who distributed 500 books into our commu-
nity, Albion is very grateful. One book giver gave away books in front of Citizens Bank; staff in Performance Automotive gave away books, another volunteer visited almost every business downtown and handed out books; another distributed copies to GED students; and still another distributed books in front of the corner gas station. That afternoon, I saw some very happy people strolling around Albion carrying a new book with the World Book Night U.S. logo on the front. This is just excellent. Another big round of thanks needs to be extended to the Brick Street Association merchants who contributed financially to our advertising costs. For a list of
these merchants, please check the Chamber’s website: www.greateralbionchamber.or g. In addition to the playbills being designed by staff at the Albion District Library, Art Craft Press donated all of the posters located throughout town, and Books & More of Albion coordinated the majority of the whole event. Other downtown merchants hosted readers and “mini parties” within their businesses. Some of the most exciting news is the amazing turnout merchants had within their businesses during the evening. I heard Lopez Taco House was packed, that Bonnie’s Sweet Tooth practically couldn’t scoop ice cream fast enough for all her crowd and that Parks Drug Store was standing room only.
The Chamber would also like to extend our deepest gratitude to the Albion Heritage Bed and Breakfast for donating our grand prize – a one night stay for two. If you listened to at least three performances, you were eligible for a drawing this and other prizes. Finally, thank you needs to be given to everyone who attended and performed that evening. While we didn’t keep accurate count, it is believed that over 200 people attended the various events going on around town that evening. Thank you, Albion. Amy DeShon, President/CEO Greater Albion Chamber of Commerce

Twelve towns weree vote wer votedd on on and and the to topp six six wer weree Lyon Lyonss (30) (30), Mars Marshal halll (29) (29), and and Alb Albion ion, Byro Byronn, Eaton Rapids and Jackson which all received 27 votes. In a subsequent vote Lansing was chosen by the House (35 to 27) and the Senate passed the House Bill by a vote of 12 to 8. Today you can visit the hill that almost became the Michigan Capitol Complex. In 1971 and 1972 State Historic Markers were installed by the Mary Marshall Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution at each of the 3 historic sites around the square.

Five MUSEUMS along the Downtown Walk
The State Constitution of 1835 fixed the capital at Detroit until 1847. In the late 1830s and early 1840s it was understood that along the Old Territorial Road Ann Arbor was to get the university, Jackson the prison, and Marshall the capital. A large area was financed locally and set aside for a Capitol Hill. The Capitol was to face Marshall Avenue where the B. E. Henry Building now stands. A “Governor’s Mansion” was erected in 1839. Lots around the Capitol Square were sold for fantastic prices.
Vi s i t o r I n f o r m at i o n
From 1834 to 1838 the first Court House was constructed in West End Park. It was demolished in 1875 when the second court house was built on Green Street. The fountain was a 1930 centennial celebration gift to the City from Harold C. Brooks. It is a replica of the “Temple of Love” in Marie Antoinette’s garden at Versailles, France. Marshall’s section of the Old Territorial Road was named State Street until 1923. That is when the state requested that all towns along US 12 from Detroit to Chicago name their main streets Michigan Avenue. The architectural styles of the downtown buildings include Italianate, Greek Revival, Second Empire, Romanesque, Colonial Revival, and Beaux Art Classicism. In 1860 the unusual and famed Honolulu House was built by Abner Pratt.

Marshall has been awarded Tree City USA since 1996. Major tree plantings were undertaken in 1980 as part of the City Sesquicentennial celebration and from 2005 to 2012 over 700 new trees were planted along public streets and in parks. Significant and interesting trees are noted in the text associated with the 1.5 mile Historic Homes Walk (green dots).

Emerald Ash Borer - Throughout the City in the 1960s Ash trees were planted to replace the dead Elms. By 2011 most of the Emerald Ash trees were devastated by the Emerald Ash Borer. Marshall embraces the value of biodiversity so future diseases will not cause such invasive damage to the City streetscapes. “Wolf and Bear” Trees - Wolves were common prowlers in the village. In 1832 Samuel Camp placed a platform in a large oak tree so men could protect the town. The tree remained in the middle of Mansion Street (where the Franke Center For The Arts is now located) until 1874. There was also a “bear tree” serving a similar purpose. This large oak was located just north of the “wolf tree” until it was cut down when Mansion Street was paved in 1913.

The 0.85 mile self-guided RiveWalk features five pedestrian bridges, boat and canoe launches, scenic overlooks and wildlife. A great deal of Marshall’s early history was lived along the Kalamazoo River and its tributary Rice Creek. The walk is wheelchair accessible. Visitors are encouragedd tto practitice responsibl en ible sttewarddship hi off tthi his valluabl ble resource. Marshall’s River Walk is part of the Calhoun County Linear Trailway System and the North Country National Scenic Trail, which runs through seven states from New York State to North Dakota. Mileages noted are measured from the east entrance at Stuart’s Landing and do not include the side attractions. Numbers below correspond to points of interest shown on the birds eye view guide map.
. . . . .
1 Stuart’s Landing (0 start) This site was used by Alfred Stuart to launch his fishing boat. He and Win Schuler loved to fish together. In earlier times, Marshall residents enjoyed swimming, ice skating, and fishing on the mill pond. Frances Stevens Stuart created Stuart’s Landing as a memorial to her husband, a longtime Marshall attorney, judge and sportsman. Today the park features a bandd shel ban shelll, res restro trooms oms, park parking ing, picn picnic ic pav paviliilion on, gr grillillss, ben benche chess, fis fishin hingg dock dock and and boat/canoe/kayak ramp.
2 Mill Pond Overflow/Dam (.05 mile) In the spring this area can
turn into a raging river race. In 1853 the first brewery in Marshall was located to the south with a cellar carved in the sandstone for storage. In the 1880s a “Barrel House” was maintained in the original cellar by the Eagle Brewery which was llocatedd west off S Marshall Ave.
3 Ketchum’s Mill (.13 mile) A large axle from the “First Stone Flour Mill”
(built 1837 by town founder Sidney Ketchum) can still be seen on the river bank below S Marshall Ave at the waterfall and dam. The mill was rebuilt following three major fires in the 1850s and finally torn down in 1881. Celebrated escaped slave Adam Crosswhite, who was rescued by more than 100 Marshall residents in 1847, was said to have hidden in this mill before escaping to Canada.

Riverwalk from this point. The City Public Service Building (PSB) to the north has restrooms available.
6 Perrinville (.4 mile) During the early 1800s, Marshall industrialist Horace Perrin
controlled so much of the industry and commerce in this area that it became known as Perrinville. By 1860, Perrin had built machine shops, a distillery, foundry, and flour mill here. In the late 1800s, the Rock River Paper Company was located at this site. Rubble from the industrial past is still visible. The City’s PSB facility now occupies the site.
7 “Bums Alley” (.6 mile) The walk extension along Rice Creek under the RR
bbridge idge ta takes kes yo youu thro through ugh “BBums ums Al Alleyy.” Duringg the Great Depression, men who rode the rails looking for work regularly stopped here to beg for money att nearbby hhous uses es. A Michigan Central Railroad Bridge was built in 1891 over Rice Creek. In the early 1900s the bridge was rebuilt after being destroyed by a flood. The stones from the original bridge were salvaged and used to construct the Oakridge Cemetery Chapel Building on Homer Road. The large rock “Territorial Road Monument” located in Carver Park was moved from “Bums Alley.”
8 Ketchum’s Vision at Rice Creek k (.65 mile) “What a town I could
build here!” Marshall’s founder, Sidney Ketchum, is said to have stated in 1830 while standing at the confluence of the Kalamazoo River and Rice Creek. At this location in 1831 Ketchum built a sawmill and a gristmill the next year. The Pearl St access area with parking and picnic tables is located just west of Rice Creek.
9 Sausage Factory y (.8 mile) In 1923, C.M Walters built a sausage factory at
this location. From 1924 to 1959 the Sentz and Son Meat Packing Company operated just east of the demolished sausage factory. The steps lead to a pub on Pearl St and a brewery to the north.

4 Power House (.22 mile) In1893, the City of Marshall purchased the
hydroelectric plant from the Perrin Estate for $17,000. The City built a new dam and added two waterwheel generators and two streetlight arc machines. The current facility produces both hydro and diesel electric power. The last turbine generator was installed in 1928. Diesel power was first generated in 1922. Although none of the original equipment remains, much of the powerhouse and wheel-pit are still in existence. It is claimed that this is the second oldest operating hydroelectric utility plant under original ownership in the United States.
5 Pagoda/Canoes/Brewery y (.3 mile) A beautiful cultural icon was
added to the Riverwalk in 2001 when local residents Jay and Karen Larson arranged for an authentic pagoda to be constructed in China and shipped to Marshall. As you stand at the canoe launch look across the river and see evidence of the Eagle Brewery in the form of a deteriorated cavern and sandstone quarry. Some 10,000 barrels were claimed to have been produced in 1895. A paved pedestrian, bike, rollerblade path extends to the west parallel to the
