Marshall Mayor to seek Circuit Court seat Marshall Mayor Jim Dyer announced April 2 that he will seek election to the 37th Circuit Court for Calhoun County. Dyer will pursue the seat occupied by retiring Judge James C. Kingsley, who has held the office since 1982. “Judge Kingsley’s retirement presents an opportunity for me to continue serving the residents of Calhoun County, but just from the other side of the judge’s bench,” Dyer said. “My service as mayor has been very rewarding. Election to the Circuit Court is a logical extension of my long desire to serve Marshall and Calhoun County. Being a Judge is something that I have trained myself to do for my entire adult life.” See story on page 12

ore than a slogan, ‘keeping it in balance’ is a way of life. It is learning and trusting the comprehensive set of available resources and services that enhance an older adult’s ability to live, work and play. Sleep is often at the root of keeping it in balance. Marshall resident Janice Darling recently visited Oaklawn Hospital’s Sleep Center, a participant in the April 10 Marshall Area Senior Health Fair. The importance of a good night's sleep is being explained by Kristine Hoffman, registered sleep technologist and director of marketing and education for the center and Jess Kingston, the hospital's director of cardiopulmonary, sleep services and emergency preparedness. For more about the annual fair, see story on page 24.

Word on the Street Who will win the NCAA men’s basketball title? Editor’s Corner
The Final Four takes place today (April 5) in Dallas. In the first game, Florida takes on Connecticut and in the second game, Wisconsin plays Kentucky. Who do you think will win the championship?
by John Hendler Where does the time go? Did this one just sneak up on me or what? It seemed like yesterday when I was fretting over turning 30 and fretting even more when I turned 40. And now, I’ve crossed the threshold into the world of the Big 5-0. Book ’em Danno. Of course, only those over a certain age will understand the previous sentence. There was no fretting over turning 50, though; just an appreciation for all that I have, including the wonderful people in my life. I think most of us do this when we’re kids - we check out the famous people that were born on our birthday and the famous events that occurred on that date. I haven’t found many well-known celebrities who share the same birthday as me, unless you count Nancy McKeon, the girl who played Jo Polniazek on the TV show The Facts of Life and Robbie Rist, the boy actor that played cousin Oliver on The Brady Bunch. Robert Downey Jr. was born a year after me and comedian David Cross, who played the character Tobias Funke on Arrested Development and I were born the very same day. And let’s not forget Alicia Silverstone. My friend Walsh’s dad was also born on April 4, but he was Canadian. April 4, 1968 is the day that Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated and April 4 is also the date that President William Henry Harrison died of pneumonia in 1841 after only 30 days in office. Edgar Buchanan, the actor who played Uncle Joe on Petticoat Junction died on April 4, 1979. Lots of curves you bet, even more when you get, to the Junction. On my 11th birthday, Hank Aaron hit his 714th home run to tie Babe Ruth. On my 18th birthday, I saw snow for the first time. On my 19th birthday, North Carolina State shocked heavily favored Houston to win the NCAA men’s basketball championship; you know, the one where coach Jim Valvano was running all over the court looking for somebody to hug after his team won at the buzzer. Five years later, Kansas upset heavily favored Oklahoma. I went to my first Major League Baseball game, albeit a spring training game on April 4, 1976 and saw Reggie Jackson hit a home run to win the game for the Baltimore Orioles over the New York Yankees. Staying with the baseball theme, on April 4, 1948, 84-yearold Connie Mack challenged 78-year-old Clark Griffith to a race from home to first base. The race ended in a tie. Well, I’ve rambled on enough, so I’ll simply say, Happy Birthday To Me. By the way, wouldn’t singing Happy Birthday To You be the logical song of choice for parents to sing to their newborn child right there in the delivery room? Just asking. Until next week, may the good news be yours. P.S. My Final Four prediction: Florida won’t be able to beat Kentucky a fourth straight time this season. Kentucky beats Florida for the title, 67-64.

"I think experience will triumph over youth. Florida will win it all beating Kentucky in the final.”
"UConn is on a roll, but they will lose to the buzzsaw that is Kentucky in the final.”
"I think Florida will beat Connecticut and Wisconsin will beat Kentucky. In the final, Florida will win.”
Kyle Young, Marshall
Nick Dent, Marshall
Trevor Young, Marshall
"The best two teams left are Florida and Wisconsin, and Florida will win it all. Florida will avenge its losses against Connecticut and Wisconsin.”
"Florida will beat UConn and now that the Spartans are out, I’ll go with the Big 10. Wisconsin will win the title.”
“I think Florida will win the whole thing, beating Wisconsin in the final.”
Letters ‘Strength and resolve’ is not the answer to Russia To the Editor: “Strength and resolve” and there you have the answer to the Russian takeover of Crimea, or so says Editor and obvious Neo-Con John Hendler in his Editor’s column in the March 22 issue. That sounds to me like what has caused some other terrible outcomes, such as a “police action” in Vietnam or “WMDs” in Iraq; a couple of quite costly and misguided wars where the United States showed some “strength and resolve,” where I dare say didn’t turn
out too well. Why is every problem world-wise ours to solve? Imagine all of the savings and benefits we as a nation could have accomplished and enjoyed by staying out of Vietnam and Iraq; all the trillions of wasted monies and hundred of thousands of lost lives. The United States spends one fourth of the total country’s budget on just the military: $639 billion each year, more than the total military budget of all the rest of the world’s countries combined.
It sounds like enough or maybe a little too much for our defense - but maybe it’s not if we are going to go into Russia. I believe we need to adjust our budget priorities. We don’t seem to have money for teachers or schools or roads and bridges but no shortages for military hardware. Haven’t we learned anything from Iraq and Afghanistan and Vietnam? Maybe some diplomatic pressure and restraint could have served us better; it cer-
tainly couldn’t have come out worse. We “lost” Vietnam, yet today we trade with them and Iraq is just chaos. That is quite a comparison John made between 1930s Germany and 2014 Russia. But, I would have to point out that even the Nazi armies got stopped and defeated by Russia. Perhaps we should explore some other options for answers besides bullets. Jerry A. Logan, Battle Creek
Human existential identity is at risk due to AI To the Editor: Prominent cyber science journalist Michael Belfiore’s lecture on the promises and pitfalls of robotic artificial intelligence to a large diverse audience at Olivet College on March 19 has prompted formation of the Mendel Colloquy on AI Ethics nationally and statewide to examine the implications of rapid re-engineering of human identity and destiny by robotic AI top researchers from the standpoint of bioethics and varied faith and cultural perspectives. Most agree that a full, wider-amplified, fact-based public dialog is absolutely needed today as hu-
manity’s existential integrity is placed at risk by the AI Paradigm shift’s random momentum. The Mendel Colloquy, named for Gregor Mendel (1822-1884), the Augustinian learned friar and father of hereditary genetic science, is focused on a “must read” cogent analysis by science journalist James Barratin in his authoritative 2013 book, Our Last Invention: AI and the End of the Human Era (reviews on www.googlebooks). Barrat’s thesis is that belief in man created in the image of God is being superceded by belief in man’s capacity to engineer without ethical restraint
both his own identity and that of robotic AI new sub-species viz-anthrobots to shape global destiny. The paradigm shift will affect everyone on a massive scale according to Battat while we sleepwalk into an AI future with no substantive public discourse. Michigan-founded Mendel Colloquy begins with a gathering for serene reflection at Peaceways tablet, historic Quaker Park, Battle Creek to assist. Kindly call 269-781-9613. Carl G. Davidson, Co-Convenor, Mendel Colloquy
A big thank you to first responders for their help To the Editor: We recently had a traumatic medical event at our home, which had a positive outcome thanks to all the medical responders and the 911 dispatch individual. We also want to thank all those
who responded for their caring and professional behavior. To Jacob Washburn, who has helped our family in so many ways, thank you for your caring and personal touch; it helped us in a very stressful time.
I wish I knew everyone’s name but know you are appreciated. Becky and Doug Rocho, Marshall
This event will showcase local businesses and services of special interest to older adults and caregivers family members.
