In The News: ‘Baker’s Dozen Beer Run’ to bring more than 1,400 people to Marshall The popular 13.1 mile Baker’s Dozen Beer Run will be back for a fourth year on Sept. 20. “Our big push this year is to get the community to get involved,” said Jessica Hackworth, one of the organizers of the event. “The community is asked to cheer on all of the participants along the marathon route - set up sprinklers, play music, make big funny signs, cheer them on, squirt them with water guns, write sidewalk chalk signs. 13.1 miles is a long haul for these runners and bikers; they need encouragement. Seeing something fun, gives them that little bit of encouragement they need.” See story on page 55

Farmers Market Committee looks to enhance market for 2015 The Marshall Area Farmers Market Committee has been working for five months to research farmers markets throughout Michigan to find ways to enhance the farmers market in Marshall for the 2015 year, including possibly changing the hours, increasing the number of vendors and adding more variety. “We are looking at expanding, but we are still making those decisions,” said Lynn Meservey, chairman. “We would like to see it grow a little more.” The committee has recently surveyed the Marshall-area vendors, shoppers in Marshall, city managers from other cities in Michigan with farmers markets and gathered data from 22 Michigan farmers markets.

Word on the Street Where were you and what were your thoughts on 9/11?
Editor’s Corner by John Hendler I’m writing this column at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday as the ad-visor&chronicle will shortly go to press. As of this moment, Roger Goodell is still the commissioner of the National Football League. If I had my way, by the time you read this, I would make sure he was out of a job. When the video first surfaced of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice dragging his now wife out of an Atlantic City elevator several months ago like a piece of meat, that was extremely disturbing to see. The only thing that would have tempered that disturbing visual was if she had had a medical incident such as a seizure. But even if that were the case, you would think a man that pledged to marry the love of his life would have at least treated her with some dignity and picked her up and carried her out in his arms. Instead we just see Rice dragging her out like last night’s garbage. Rice’s explanation was that some kind of physical confrontation had occurred in the elevator. I’m no Amazing Kreskin, but it doesn’t take a psychic to know what happened inside that elevator that night. Apparently, Goodell could have used The Amazing Kreskin’s help as he issued only a two-game suspension to Rice, which meant he could practice with the team and still play in pre season contests. It wasn’t until last Monday when Goodell and the rest of America saw the video released by TMZ that showed Rice’s left hook deck his fiancee out cold. Since then, Goodell and the NFL have been in damage control. Nobody was talking about the great games of week 1 or the great matchups this weekend; talk has only centered around what Goodell knows and when did he find out. In his interview with CBS, the commissioner looked like a man on the ropes, desperate to be saved by the bell. But, the damage has been done to Goodell’s judgement and credibility and “The Shield” has also been tarnished. Goodell had his chance to resign. Now it’s up to his bosses, the owners, to show that the NFL will not tolerate domestic abuse and a possible institutional coverup and send Goodell packing. How refreshing it would finally be for someone in the NFL to do the right thing. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

"I was sitting at home with my daughter when it came on TV. My brother was in the Army at the time. I remember feeling numb. I talked to my brother Wednesday after President Obama spoke and he told me he would be deployed in the next few months.”
"I was at the gym working out when I saw coverage come across the TV screen. It was unbelievable. I felt a lot of disbelief. It just didn’t seem real.”
"I was attending middle school in Battle Creek. I heard about it over the intercom. 9/11 was a day that changed our lives forever.”

"I was on a construction site in Jackson when it happened. When I heard about it, I was in complete disbelief.”
"I was in Macomb Township at work. One of my employees, an Albanian, didn’t show up and called me to say he wasn’t coming in because he was so heartbroken. Then I saw it on the TV and it sunk it. It was a somber day. We did $10 in business that day. Everything shut down.”
"I was in my freshman year at a community college in Port Huron. A professor came into the library and told us about the attack. I couldn’t believe something like that would happen in America. All the students were sent home for the day.”

Thanks to all who made 51st annual Home Tour a success To the Editor: Thanks to all who worked so hard to make our 51st annual Home Tour such a success. There are so many folks to thank, from our homeowners to local business owners, to members of the Historical Society, to the city of Marshall and folks who enjoyed
the Tour over the weekend. The general co-chairs and committee members who worked so tirelessly doing all the jobs that make this a success, either in front-line roles or behind the scenes, deserve a lot of credit. The list of individuals who deserve thanks would fill this paper, so I will
just say a heartfelt thanks to all. The portrayals of notable local historic figures were a great addition to this tour, as were the pineapples displayed in all the homes. And we celebrated the 175th anniversary of the Governor’s Mansion in style.
I know that all the guests who came to Marshall and enjoyed this weekend, either for the first time or the 51st time, would agree that Marshall is the City of Hospitality. Ann Rhodes President, Marshall Historical Society
Have we just become a nation of non-stop noise? To the Editor: I cannot help but wonder who thought we need background noise in our restaurants and TV shows. Not too long ago, you could go to a restaurant and enjoy a meal and conversation with a friend – no longer the case. Now you have to yell across the table to be heard, so you just sit and eat. That is not enjoyable or friendly – you hurry and eat your meal because you can hardly wait to get out of the noise. Don’t the owners and managers of restaurants realize that? Must they all follow the trend of serving up noise with a meal? I enjoy music but question what
passes for music in restaurants no. Whatever happened to quiet background music? Why must we be subjected to heavy noise and extreme yelling while trying to enjoy a meal? Another disturbance in our lives is the crackling sounds on TV programs actually drowning out what is being said, including newscasts. Why? Have we just become a nation of noise? Do we all have to be forced to follow a trend that is jarring to the eardrums as well as the senses? This trend seems to have fallen over into other social functions as well. I recently attended an anniversary party where a band was playing (constantly)
so loudly that you could not converse with your tablemates. I left early with a headache. Is this our future? I cannot believe I am alone in this complaint. Let’s hear from others that feel the same way. We all need to refuse to be subjected to this noise level by staying away from restaurants who follow the noisy trend. And we need to quit buying products that are advertised on these crackly noise backgrounds on TV shows. A possible slogan, “Quiet or We Quit.” Did you ever hear, “Silence is Golden?”

People sick and tired of catering to the politically correct To the Editor: The politically correct minority are intent on getting their way. They would have you believe everybody agrees with them. It’s worked quite well for them. But it’s starting to backfire because people are sick and tired of catering to their agendas. There are team names we cannot say (Redskins), groups we can’t oppose (global warming activists and gay marriage pushers), prayers we can’t say
in public (any that mention Christ) and various words we can’t say (someone may be offended). These groups are loud, though in the minority. We’re told the majority wants gay marriage. Not true! States across this country have passed constitutional amendments stating “marriage is to be between one man and one woman.” This does not fit the gay agenda, so these states are taken to court
(to be defeated by liberal activist judges). This attempt by the minority to suppress the majority by guilt and intimidation is evident particularly in “immigration reform” (amnesty/open borders). All these “poor children” coming into our country is no accident. Their arrival was planned for months and they are being used to intimidate and bully any opposition with shame and they demand we “take care of
them.” The media is complicit in this charade by promoting these minority liberal agendas. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, but eventually the squeaky wheel gets thrown out and replaced with a new one. We’re getting real close to throwing out the political class who wants to run every aspect of our lives.

Marshall volleyball wins road test at Coldwater The Marshall High School varsity volleyball team’s record stands at 12-61 following a hard-fought win at Coldwater Sept. 10 to open Interstate 8 Athletic Conference play. Marshall won in four sets: 25-19, 25-17, 23-25 and 2520. "I was happy with our energy; we played with a lot of intensity and emotion and that helped us big time in the fourth set,” said coach John Miller. “We were down 1017 and 12-18 at certain points in the set and the girls didn't quit. That is a great boost for the psyche of this team. Coldwater is a very good team and it is a tough place to play because of the energy of their fans. They have a great fan base and we were able to overcome that.” Logan Kiessling had 20 kills, 12 digs and three blocks. Emily Delmotte had nine kills, four blocks and three aces. Kaylie BAtes had 42 assists and 11 digs. Brooke Mason had 27 digs. Marshall hosts Western on Sept. 17.
