What advice do you have for your classmates? Editor’s Corner
Marshall High School students Class of 2014 will graduate today, marking the end of one chapter in their lives and the start of another. We asked these six graduates prior to the Baccalaureate ceremony what advice they had to offer their fellow graduates?
by John Hendler Dear Graduates, Congratulations on a job well done, and I wish you all the best as you embark on life’s journey. I'm sure you'll hear all those words of wisdom about achieving your milestone from just about everyone you'll encounter this weekend, especially us older folk. Some of you may roll your eyes when you hear for the 100th time how you should follow your dreams or how you shouldn't be afraid to try new things. These people are telling you this because they were your age once (shocking, but true) and for a lot of folks, when they tell you to follow your dreams, what they are really telling you is they regret not following their own dreams or they regret not doing something because maybe they were afraid to. Regrets, I’ve had a few... I'm not suggesting that you skydive or bungee jump off Mt Everest, I'm just saying be sure to live your life, and just as importantly, enjoy your life. Believe it or not, one day you too will be 40 and 50 and 60 and when you look back, you will realize how short a time we are all actually on this planet. Now that I've gotten the “serious” aspect of your lives out of the way, here is what advice I wish I had been told when I graduated from high school way back in 1982. I can’t believe it’s been 32 years. Where does the time go? But first, let me tell you what I was actually told. My father did not impart any words of wisdom when I was about to go away to college. He was very much 'old school' (walked five miles to school barefoot in the snow, uphill both ways, etc.) and didn't have time for any reflective thoughts or any sentimental words before my departure. As I got into the car to make the 1,000-mile drive to school, he said to me: “Don't pick up hitchhikers and if you do drugs, I'll kill you.” He gently “pushed” me into the car, shut the door, turned around and walked into the house. That was it. The rest I’d have to figure out myself. As for what I wish I had been told when I graduated, I could not put it so eloquently as the group Bowling for Soup does in their song, High School Never Ends: And the only thing that matters Is climbing up that social ladder Still care about your hair and the car you drive Doesn't matter if you're 16 or 35… The whole damn world is just as obsessed With who's the best dressed and who's having sex Who's got the money, who gets the honeys Who's kind of cute and who's just a mess And you still don't have the right look And you don't have the right friends Nothing changes but the faces, the names and the trends High school never ends Or, on a more positive note, the lyrics from Mama Cass Elliot’s Make Your Own Kind Of Music: Nobody can tell ya There’s only one song worth singing They may try to and sell ya Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you... But you’ve gotta make your own kind of music Sing your own special song Make your own kind of music Even if nobody else sings along Good luck graduates. May the good news always be yours.

Fracking threatens Michigan’s water supply To the Editor: If you don’t know what fracking is, you need to because it threatens Michigan’s precious water supply. The common method to drill for natural gas called “fracking” is an extraction process used by the natural gas industry that involves blasting a mixture of water and dangerous chemicals
deep underground to explore for natural gas. The industry refuses to reveal the exact chemicals it uses in the fracking process, which could end up in our drinking water. These chemicals include many known cancer-causing compounds, can have major negative impacts on public health and damage ecosystems. Frack-
ing has already caused a range of environmental problems across the United States, including at least eight states that have reported drinking water contamination. Michigan’s economy depends on our great natural resources. We can’t afford the risk fracking poses to our invaluable resources.
Take a minute to call or email our district’s representative Jase Bolger and our senator Mike Nofs and ask them to push pause on fracking by passing a moratorium until we address the dangers of fracking. Brianna Moore, Olivet College student
Family gives thanks to the community for blood drive To the Editor: Thank you to all our friends, relatives and drop-in donors who helped make the 7th Annual Memorial Blood Drive in memory of Annabel Ousley a great success.
We appreciate the Red Cross staff and volunteers who tirelessly worked to organize the event and graciously accommodated all 85 donors who attended May 30. We are especially grateful to the congregation of the
United Methodist Church who allowed the use of their beautiful facilities for the day. With warm appreciation, thanks to all of you. T h e fa m ily of An n a b el O u sley
Progress from a Marengo window - train tracks To the Editor: The last time I shared a view from my windows, from my home in Marengo Village was to marvel at the building of our new bridge. At the same time the bridge was being built and seen from the east windows (kitchen) the railroad was being updated on the west of our home. This scene took place from the dining room window, on the west side of the house - a double feature, so to speak. We have had a single track for many years now. We assumed the second track was no longer needed, due to lack of railroad freight service. At that time the second crossing was closed and this was very hard to get used to - no - the distance between the crossings is not long but the lack of convenience to our church was troublesome to some. Of course, like all changes, we finally adjusted. The reason given for this crossing closing was given as economics, due to
the cost of traffic arms - so as I said, we adjusted. Now the railroad company is replacing the track and ties so the trains can travel at a faster pace. Apparently this track has the ability to have the trains speed more quickly between connecting cities. It is rumored the trains will fly past here at 80 to 100 miles per hour. We have ridden on that sort of speed track in Germany and I shudder to think of trains speeding through our sleepy little village at that rate of speed. Watching this latest work on the railroad track has been almost as fascinating as watching the bridge project - except the work went much faster. Sometimes it seemed as if there were eight to 10 little vehicles running along the track. That always shocks the senses to see a full sized truck riding the rails, followed by several little repair vehicles. Fascinating to watch when they head home at night like watching a toy train with lights, out
there in the darkness. While watching all this activity the past several months, I cannot help but think back to Marengo Village, and how it was established in the 1700 and 1800’s. How difficult it must have been for those bridge and railroad track workers. I have a picture of an iron bridge that preceded the 80 year old one that was just torn down. I don’t know how long that one stood and I wonder what was over the river before that one. We have had an interesting summer and fall with all this activity. Probably as much activity Marengo area has seen since I-94 was cut through the farmland nearby. We are now once again enjoying the peace and quiet of our sleepy village. There are a few more “windows” I would like to share with you - hope to see you soon. By Phyllis (Winegar) Gill, Marengo

Marshall soccer claims 4th straight district title
photos by John Hendler
The Marshall High School girls varsity soccer team won its fourth straight district title following a 3-0 win over Jackson Lumen Christi on May 31. For the Marshall High School girls varsity soccer team, it was once again the thrill of victory followed by the agony of defeat. For the fourth consecutive season, Marshall won the district title, defeating Lumen Christi, 3-0 on May 31. And for the fourth consecutive season, Marshall’s season ended in the regional semi-finals, losing to Williamston, 1-0 on June 3 at Spring Arbor University. Williamston, who outplayed Marshall for most of the first half scored the game’s lone goal in the 21st minute. But the second half was a different story as Marshall applied the pressure in hopes of mounting one more post season comeback. “That last 25 minutes was how I had expected us to play,” said coach Adrian Harkey. “We really shut them down and we were much more aggressive going forward. We were putting good pressure on their defense and we had several good chances down the stretch to draw even. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.” In the district final, MArshall dominated the entire game as goals were scored by Sydney Reichenbaugh, Anyah Preston and Audrey Myers. Shannon Hicks recorded two assists. “The Lumen game might have been the best game we played all year from start to finish,” said Harkey. “Our intensity level was extremely high for the entire game and we were able to completely stifle any lumen attacks. It was one of our best offensive games as well; very fluid with a lot of accurate passing. Marshall finished the season with a record of 137-1.

Marshall’s best chance to tie Williamston came with 18 minutes remaining as Sara Townsend beat Williamston defender Makenzie Seaman and goalkeeper Grace Craft, but the ball rolled inches wide of the net.
Golfers in the hunt for 1st state title since ‘96 By JOHN HENDLER News Editor In the fall of 1972, Tom Reynolds became the boys golf coach at Marshall High School. In his first season at the helm, the 26year-old former collegiate golfer saw his team finish second in the state. Fourteen years later, in 1996, Reynolds saw his team capture the state title, the second in school history (1968). Last year, in his 42nd year, his team placed second in the state, just six shots behind champion Grand Rapids South Christian. And as Reynolds winds down his 43rd and final year, his team is poised to make another state title run at the Div. 2 championship at Michigan State University’s Forest Akers West course this weekend (June 6-7). “This course, this year is not as difficult as last year (Grand Valley State University), but it’s still a tough course,” said Reynolds. “But, our guys are as talented as any that we’ve had.” The top four golfers-
Aaron McCoy, Tanor Blowers, Brandon Hawkins and Jared Garner- range in average between 76 and 81 and Reynolds thinks a fourplayer score of 320 could be enough to win state. Back in 1996, Marshall was led to the title by Chris Gilbert’s 73 in the final round. “Chris, along with Roy Adair, Andrew Saylor, Tyler Burghdorf and Chris Gary- those guys could play,” said Reynolds. Reynolds said that Gilbert was one of the golfers he’s coached along with John Morse, who went on to play professionally, and Ben Peacock, who was All-State all four years of high school. The coach said he wouldn't be surprised if his top four golfers all ended up playing collegiate golf. Reynolds said he’s had a lot of fun over the years, but it’s time for someone else to take over. “It’s become a job; it was never that to me,” said Reynolds. “It’s been a labor of love. I’ve really enjoyed it. But, I think it’s time for me to go.”

Five MHS tracksters earn All-State honors Marshall High School's Kitana Espinoza made All State for the second consecutive year in the long jump and she also reset the school record for the fourth time, jumping 17' 4" May 31 in Zeeland. “She made it exciting by jumping 16' 1" on her first jump and scratching on her second,” said coach Steve Wissink. “On her third and final jump in the opening round, knowing she needed 16'8" or better and she jumped 17'1". Espinoza was in second going into the finals but ended up fourth in the final results. In the 100-meter dash she missed making the All State final by .02 seconds. “Kitana had another great season, scoring twice as many points as anyone else
on the team,” said Wissink. “She reset the long jump record four times,and also set a new school record in the 100 meters. With the 200 meter record she set last year, she now holds three school records.” The effort on the boys was equally as impressive at the state meet as the 800meter relay team of Bryce Blanchard, Chris Thomas, Forrest Jackson and Montez Brewer achieved All-State honors by finishing fifth with a school record time 1:29.78. Brewer also had a 12th place finish in the 100 meters.
