In The News: Authorities confirm three vehicles damaged from gunshots On Sept. 4, a press conference to update the public about recent reports of vehicles damaged from shootings on I-94 and I-69 in Calhoun, Branch and Eaton counties, where authorities reported that they had received more than 20 complaints of damage, but only three cases were confirmed to be from a gun. “We can confirm that we do have an individual or individuals causing damage to vehicles on the roadways,” said Calhoun County Sheriff Matt Saxton. “Our number one priority is to bring this to a stop and continue to have no injuries...We are asking the public for their assistance to gather as much information as possible to help bring a resolution to these incidents.” See story on page 11 MHS senior Andrew Shippell overcomes cancer After completing his first day of his senior year at Marshall High School last Tuesday, Andrew Shippell headed to Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo for his monthly round of chemotherapy. Then, he drove back to Marshall for two hours of varsity soccer practice. Just a typical day, the type Shippell has gotten used to as normal for the last three years after being diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in October 2012. See story on page 12 Home Tour 2015 is Sept. 12-13 This year’s Home Tour Weekend is Sept. 12-13, complete with seven historic private homes, local museums and churches, Art at the Museum juried arts and crafts show and the Historic Fly & Drive-In.

oing into their fifth year, the Baker’s Dozen Beer Run and the Driving for a Cure Tractor Drive events, both occurring on Sept. 19, could not be more different, yet they collectively plan to bring nearly 2,000 people to the streets of Marshall. The Baker’s Dozen Beer Run, a half marathon for runners and bikers, is a “fun” event with no charitable recipients. The Tractor Drive, sponsored by The Calhoun County Yesteryear Association, is an “awareness “ event which raises money for local organizations to help cancer patients with medical costs.

Columns Law that helps people...Vehicle width standards

Editor’s Corner by John Hendler Friday marked 14 years to the day since the 9/11 attacks against the World Trade Center towers in New York, the Pentagon and those brave souls on board United Flight 93 which crashed near Shanksville, Pa. Although not as big a milestone this year compared to next year, the 15th anniversary, any mention of the attacks is still certainly newsworthy around the country and the world, especially with the rise of ISIS and the humanitarian refugee crisis spiraling out of control in Europe. Just like the assassination of John F. Kennedy or the Challenger disaster, I’m almost certain that everyone out there can vividly remember where they were when the attacks occurred. I was living in Italy in 2001 and I had just returned home just before 3 p.m. (9 a.m. east coast time) on that Tuesday, Sept. 11 after picking up my son and daughter from school when I received a phone call from my friend Walsh, in Missouri, telling me that a plane had hit one of the towers and to turn on Good Morning America (thanks to the American Forces Network-Europe). As I looked at the picture on the TV, trying to figure out if perhaps a small plane or helicopter had hit the building, I saw what was the second jet hit the second tower. I immediately called my then-wife, who was working on the Navy base in Naples and told her that a terrorist attack of some sort was taking place. Within minutes, all the bases were locked down as a kind of controlled panic set in, as we wondered, much like Americans did stateside, who or what would be hit next. It was that uncertainty, that not knowing, that not being able to make even a simple phone call that shook us as a nation and allowed us to experience 9/11 collectively as a nation, even though we were hundreds, if not thousands of miles away from Ground Zero. Sadly, what we usually experience collectively as a nation is more often than not a devastating tragedy. Perhaps that’s why after the 9/11 attacks, we as a nation came together and showed real concern for one another. Unfortunately, that good seems to be virtually nonexistent these days as we have become more polarized than ever, quick to dismiss anyone who doesn’t see things exactly as we see it, lest they be labeled a racist, homophobe, socialist, etc. I hope it won’t have to be another tragedy that brings us together as a nation. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

By GEORGE M. STRANDER Ingram County Court Administrator and Probate Register

Third in a series. We usually don’t think about how wide our car or truck can be, but the law does place limits on vehicle width. Aside from maybe making parking easier, these laws do make our roads a bit safer. T he la w: According to the size, weight and load section of Michigan’s Motor Vehicle Code, the total outside width of any vehicle or load on Michigan’s roads, with a few exceptions, cannot exceed 96 inches, or eight feet. [See MCL 257.717] The exceptions form an interesting list. First, an “implement of husbandry” (i.e., a farm-related vehicle) of any width can, under the right circumstances, be operated on our roads. As most of us can

attest, these vehicles can reach immense widths. Second, the load in back of a “vehicle hauling concrete pipe, ferrous pipe, agricultural products or unprocessed logs, pulpwood or wood bolts” can be as wide as 108 inches or nine feet. Third, a bus, trailer coach, trailer, semi-trailer, truck camper or motor home gets an extra six inches of maximum width on top of the 96 and can be up to 102 inches (eight and a half feet) wide. E xa mp les: So how close to, or far away from, the basic maximum of 96 inches do car and truck widths come? The answers are a little surprising. First, average car and truck widths (not counting mirrors) probably vary between 70 and 80 inches. A Honda Accord, for example, is around 72 inches wide, while a Ford F-150 is about 80 inches in width. The widest cars today tend to be low, road-hugging sports cars. Some Lamborghini and Jaguar models come in at widths above 86 inches. A Chevy

Corvette C6 is over 82 inches wide. Back in the big car days of the 1950s, some sedans also got be pretty wide, like the 80-inch-plus-wide Chrysler Crown Imperial. The narrowest cars, as one might expect, are the smallest. Tiny Hondas, Mazdas, Mitzubishis and SmartCars only flare out around 60 inches. Back in the early 1960s, though, the Peel Engineering Company from the Isle of Man made a three-wheeled microcar that was less than 40 inches in width. In general, trucks, SUVs and vans are wider than cars. Dodge actually makes a pickup truck – the Ram 3500 – whose width is at the 96-inch maximum. The widest currently-made SUV (a Range Rover model) is a little over 80 inches wide. The SUV record, though, belongs to those original spartan Hummers which first came out in the early 1990s, which spanned over 86 inches. The widest van is the Ford Transit, a utility vehicle often used commercially. It is almost 84 inches wide.

Michigan Ave. is a dangerous street; signs help To the Editor: We applaud MDOT and WMU for choosing Marshall as one of the research cities studying pedestrian safety. We can never have enough safety features in a wonderful community like Marshall. Tourists stroll our streets every day. Young families with children/strollers and senior citizens do their best to cross downtown streets to visit Brooks Fountain and area businesses. Before the pedestrian traffic signs were installed, very

few vehicles stopped for pedestrians. We held our breath after stopping our car for a pedestrian, hoping the vehicle behind us would not honk too many times or swerve around us and hit the person attempting to cross the street. Michigan Avenue is a busy and dangerous street. Our daughter was hit walking in a crosswalk at a traffic light with the ‘WALK’ sign lit. We moved to Marshall 11 years ago coming from a tourist community out west. It was the law that when a

pedestrian set foot within a crosswalk, the driver had to stop. We were shocked that most drivers in Marshall didn’t stop/yield for pedestrians. We encouraged city officials to enforce better safety practices and consider installing safety signs. Nothing was done. Brighton, Mich. has had pedestrian traffic signs for more than 10 years. The downtown developer says his city is very happy with the safety signs, especially the chaser lights on crosswalks.

He emphasizes it is vital in a community where you have a vibrant downtown, young families and a senior population. It is our hope the city of Marshall will keep the pedestrian safety signs, adopt upcoming recommended protocols from MDOT and WMU and continue to enforce yielding for pedestrians at all crosswalks. Mike and Ann Marie Renaud, Marshall

Flower pots will be a great addition downtown To the Editor: Thank you, city of Marshall and all who are involved with the planning and implementing of the Downtown Flower Pot Project. The outward appearance of any downtown is extremely important for both tourism and

the recruitment/retention of businesses to the city. I say this as someone who has been involved in economic development/downtown development for over 40 years before I retired. A well-maintained streetscape is vitally important to the entire visual look

for a city and especially the downtown. The large flower pots will be a great, pleasant addition as people walk/drive through the area making it one more reason to stop and/or come to downtown. Barb Rosene, Marshall

Thanks to those helping with community picnic To the Editor: The Marshall Historical Society traditionally hosts a picnic at the conclusion of the Home Tour as a special thank you to volunteers, homeowners and sponsors for their generous support in this important fundraising project. In some of our previous

notices for this event, Marshall High School inadvertently omitted the mention of our special in-kind picnic donors without whose help we would not be able to enjoy this event. So special thanks go to Marshall Speedy Chick for providing and preparing the picnic food, Bronson Farms

for sweet corn and Coca Cola for soft drinks. The Historical Society has a policy of trying to keep business transactions in the local community. We hope that others will support these businesses that help to make our community the special place that it is.

The picnic will be held at the Farmers Market site, and the public is invited to join us this year. Tickets are being sold for $10 (adults) and $5 (children.) Gerald Lehmann, President, Marshall Historical Society

Thank you to Marshall for all the great memories To the Editor: I’ve just finished my first week away from the ad-visor&chronicle’s full-time writing staff after 12 years of regularly letting readers know about new babies in town, successes of girls and boys in Marshall’s local Scout troops, events in schools, non profits’ goals and programs and high points of area residents’ achievements, talents and interests. Over these years, I’ve been continually in awe of the optimism and work ethic of downtown business owners as well as the area’s rural and agricultural population I’ve come to know and write about. It’s been a joy to be in the

company of volunteers at United Way, Wilder Creek Conservation Club, Marshall Civic Players, Great Escape Stage Company, East End Studio and Gallery, and the Marshall District Library Board of Directors, all of whom have an ongoing desire to make Marshall a dynamic, interesting and unique place to live. I’ve been in a work environment that allows all of this while surrounded by a group of the best people in the world as co-workers. I’ll be forever grateful to fate that an assistant hired by Mary Tinsley Young shortly after she was named editor of the Ad-visor in 2003 changed her mind about taking the job because it sounded like “too much work.” I was

part of a living history theater troupe Mary led in Battle Creek when she casually mentioned her dilemma after a rehearsal. “Now that you’re such a hot shot, you can give great jobs to your friends,” I said. “Would you be interested?” she asked. “Yes!” Within two weeks, we were co-workers. Thank you to everyone at the office who has been so generous with their help and friendship. Also, thank you to everyone who has trusted me to tell their stories in print and to the people of Marshall who so enriched my life. Donna Daines, Kalamazoo

“I was training for a half marathon with my daughter when my knee pain became unbearable. I went to see an orthopedic specialist at Bronson Battle Creek. X-rays revealed my knee cartilage was completely gone. I’m young for a knee replacement, but there was no other option. I’m a mother of six. Life is hectic. I’m always looking after everyone. Now I was the one being looked after. The nurses are so dedicated. I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed such peace and quiet. Although Joint Camp was tough, I had the support I needed to flourish. My doctor told me that when he saw the damage to my knee during surgery he couldn’t believe how long I put up with it. I just hope others experiencing this severe level of pain realize they can get help, too.” Stephanie, Three Rivers, Michigan

Gifts & Accessories 2015 Tin Whistle Gift Shop is a charming destination A stop at the Tin Whistle Gift Shop inside the National House Inn should be in the plans of all tour visitors and shoppers this year. Not only is the National House a 2015 Home Tour destination, the gift shop should be one as well since the mini-mercan-

tile is every bit as charming as its host building. The National House Inn was erected by Andrew Mann in 1835 and is reported to be the first brick building in Calhoun County. Its varied history includes use as a wagon and windmill

factory. The two-story, low gabled building has been restored to its original appearance and use as an inn. The Tin Whistle Gift Shop, just off the dining room, is stocked with specialty items as well as inexpensive,

Kicking up the addiction with JILLAPOLOOZA! After five years of getting customers hooked on constantly changing inventory and low prices on an eclectic mix of mid-century modern, ‘60’s psychedelic, ‘70s funk, Jill Koyl is expanding your shopping experience by hosting the inaugural Jillapolooza Flea Market during Home Tour Weekend. More than 60 vendors are signed up to sell their wares flea market flip style, promising one of a kind treasures without the distraction of crocheted dish towels and weight loss gimmicks. Vendors have been encouraged to “sell cheap” to encourage garage sale pric-

ing and room for haggling. Food trucks and musical entertainment are planned with restroom facilities available and plenty of close parking. Follow the signs to feed your addiction and create a new one by visiting Jill’s Addiction AND Jillaplooza on the corner grounds of South Grand and Spruce (down by the Dark Horse). Jillapolooza will be your new destination for Home Tour Weekend. Become a fan of Jill’s Addiction by visiting and liking the store’s Facebook page. Details for Jillapolooza can also be

found on Facebook. Jill’s Addiction is a seasonal business closing Jan. 1 and reopening mid-April. Starting after Christmas Day, all items are 50 percent off and discounted again on Dec. 30 and 31 to 75 percent off. All items not sold are removed for a fresh start the following spring. Normal business hours are Thursday, 11 a.m.-7 p.m.; Friday and Saturday. 11 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Jill’s Addiction is open from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Home Tour Weekend (or when the last person decides to leave).

Get a taste of hospitality at Warner Vineyards of Marshall at The Flower Haus Five years ago, Penny Jump, owner of The Flower Haus, went wine tasting with some girlfriends along the West Michigan shoreline. Her first thought was, “Why doesn’t Marshall have something like this?” Then her thoughts turned to, “Why don’t we do this in the back of the flower shop? Wine and flowers…what a great idea!” Her idea came to fruition when the wine tasting room featuring Warner Wines of Paw Paw was added to The Flower Haus. Jump chose to feature Warner Wines because they were not represented locally and because of the company’s long history in Michigan. Warner was founded in 1938, making it the second oldest winery in the state. Begun as a tasting room,

The Flower Haus is now licensed to serve wine by the glass and serves a variety of whites, reds, fruits and dessert wines by Warner. In addition, to offering tastings and wines by the glass, The Flower Haus and Warner Vineyards of Marshall hosts small parties and events including Wine and Canvas, Cabi and coming soon are cooking classes. Warner Wines of Marshall is a unique complement to the flowers of The Haus. “The wine works well with our flowers and gift basket items,’ says Jump. “Having the tasting room and the shop together is working well. Out-of-state visitors enjoy sampling Michigan wines and it is interesting to hear what they say and how surprised they are at how much they like

them. California customers are the most fun; they can’t believe Michigan can make a wine that tastes so good!” she concludes.

Quilts at Marshall House offers Find your ‘happy’ at paper & i fabrics, notions and books Quilts at the Marshall House, 100 Exchange St., has become a destination for quilters from throughout the Midwest. Owners Jay and Karen Larson, opened the shop more than 10 years ago. Since then, under Karen’s expert eye, it has grown from its original two rooms to filling the entire spacious first floor. The historic Marshall House Hotel in which the shop is located was built in

1838 and for many years was the largest hotel between Detroit and Chicago. It later served as a Civil War hospital, a girls’ boarding school, an apartment building, a private residence, a funeral home and was an antique mall before the Larson’s bought and renovated the structure. More than 4,000 bolts of quality quilting fabrics fill the shop including a large collection of Civil War reproduction fabrics and an

extensive selection of batik and Asian-design textiles. The shop also sells a large number of quilting books, patterns, thread and other notions for people who quilt and sew. Quilts at the Marshall House has become known as a place where quilters can find a friendly staff and expert help with their projects. For information about classes and services, call 269781-9450.

Confessions of a COLOR-holic! No doubt about it, color is here to stay. A fact which excites and at times, overwhelms me. Early on in our memories, perhaps in kindergarten, most of us were introduced to the color wheel. We were uninhibited about the fundamentals of color: endless variety, a universal language we could rely on to identify things around us and most of all color’s ability to spark our imagination. I simply couldn’t get enough. I remember coveting the biggest crayon box on the market at the beginning of the school year. Merely 8 colors wouldn’t do if 50, 78 or 100 were available. For me, even the sharpener in the back of the box had its allure. I wanted to experience color as if I could use it up! This year, my 29th in the interior design industry, it feels a little like I have used color up. Yet, my calling to spread the ‘good news of color’ continues. Sometime between that

initial excitement over color and adulthood, many people become a bit insecure about color. Worse yet, a kind of color avoidance develops. BTW, this might be a good time to mention my respect for neutrals and those who love them! Commonly known as “earth tones”, their value lies in contrast. Sometimes subtle, sometimes not so subtle, neutrals are generally accepted as safe. Safe is good. Not so good, is when neutrals are used as an obligatory fall back. Sometimes out of fear of color, or sometimes out of a vague idea they are a good investment. Just boring enough to not offend. Boring is never good. At Bayberry House Interiors, 2015 has been anything but boring! We showcase an array of colorful design products from trend setting stylists and vendors around the world. Our exciting fabrics, furnishings, window treatments, and rugs add utility and texture to any life-

style. We are a hand-selected stockist of inspiring Chalk Paint decorative paint by Annie Sloan; The Best Paint in the World! Every day we partner with clients and call upon color to revitalize their spaces and re-ignite their imaginations. If this is your year to pump up the color in your world give us a call. We are color experts. Meanwhile, enjoy the colors of Marshall this weekend at the 52nd Annual Marshall Historic Home Tour! I hope you find a little time to drop in to our colorful shop. I will also see you at the Jillapalooza market, where I will be inspiring you to Re-Funk your junk or Re-Style and Re-Purpose existing goods with colorful Chalk Paint. Wishing you colorful living in Style! Janet Ostrum Interior Designer, Color-holic

Quality Engraving... The Green Scene is a destination the name says it all for distinctive gifts Quality Engraving is located at 221 W. Michigan Ave. in the Schnaitman Building. The building was originally owned by Leo, Fred and Carl Schnaitman who ran a meat market from 1901 to 1957. In 1946, current store owner Ian Schnaitman’s grandfather Jack Schnaitman joined the family business. Ian has found many other family treasures in the nooks and crannies of the old building. “It surprised me when the original scale, used to weigh in cattle and basically built with the building, still works,” he said. He has found old boxes,

pictures and other family artifacts, both in the building and donated by family members. It is very important to him to keep his family history alive. The Schnaitman family has owned businesses in Marshall since 1901: meat markets, restaurants and bars. “My Aunt Susan still owns The Stagecoach Inn, and I’ve owned Quality Engraving since 2009. We believe in Marshall and love being part of the city.” Quality Engraving specializes in personalized engraving. A few of the many items available for engraving are: drinkware, serving trays, key

chains, money clips, picture frames and, of course, trophies. Quality Engraving can personalize just about anything. Engraving can be done on metal and glass, but it can also be done on ceramic tile, computers and cell phones. “People have brought in many interesting for me to engrave and I love it! The more unique, the better,” Schnaitman said. Quality Engraving is also a UPS shipping center and can handle all your shipping needs. The shop is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The Green Scene is entering its second year of operation with Doug and Claudia Murch as owners. The store is located at 142 W Michigan Ave between Louie’s Bakery and Grannies Attic. The Green Scene is a store with a unique blend of organic, recycled and earth friendly “green” merchandise for the entire family. If you are looking for a truly distinctive gift, this store has it. The Green Scene’s products run the gamut from bamboo clothing for women, organic Egyptian cotton infant clothing, beautiful purses made from automotive seatbelt material to

paper products made from elephant poop. One of the lines added in the past year are the ever-popular Stormy Kromer hats, a wonderful Michiganmade product with a great story and a 112-year history. Another new line is SmartWool socks and accessories made from Merino wool. This remarkable fiber moves moisture away from your body before it turns to sweat, so you always stay dry and comfortable.

Late rally just comes up short vs. Coldwater, 9-7

The Marshall High School varsity football team saw its record drop to 1-1 following a 9-7 home loss to Coldwater on Sept. 3. The Marshall defense was stellar, allowing just 76 yards of total offense. Coldwater’s lone touchdown came on an interception return in the first quarter and the Cardinals added a field goal just before halftime. Marshall’s only score came with just nine seconds to play as Chris Upright, above left, seen here on a 37-yard gain, punched it in from the 2-yard-line for the touchdown. Upright gained 113 yards on 16 carries. His touchdown was set up on a 37-yard reception by Chris Thomas, center, seen here making a catch in the second quarter. Following Upright’s touchdown, Marshall’s onside kick was recovered by Coldwater. Marshall played its first road game of the season Friday at Western and play Sept. 18 at Pennfield.
