In The News:
Ambulance Authority seeks millage renewal Aug. 6 The Marshall Area Fire Fighters Ambulance Authority will be seeking a 10-year millage renewal on the Aug. 6 ballot for half a mill, which would be approximately $360,499 in 2014. “We just want to go back to work, keep our heads down and do a good job for community,” said MAFFAA Executive Director Mark Burke. The current 10-year millage, which began when the authority was formed in 2004, will expire on Dec. 31. MAFFAA is asking for a renewal, which would continue at the same cost, approximately $50 for a $100,000 home. See story on page 32
Local residents take part in Gettysburg 150th anniversary reenactment
PUTT ing Kids First
A dozen local residents from the Marshall and Battle Creek areas joined 18,000 others to reenact the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg July 4-7. “That’s part of what we do, reenact the Civil War,” said Robinson’s Battery president John Hughes. “It’s one of those things we felt we needed to be a part of to remember and honor the men who fought there.” Nine members of the Robinson’s Battery from Battle Creek traveled to Pennsylvania to fight on the Union side in the most well-known battle of the Civil War which took place, July 1–3, 1863.

Word on the Street What do you think of the fascination with the Royal Baby? The birth of Prince George Alexander Louis to Kate Middleton and Prince William garnered extensive coverage by the media in the United States and across the world.
Editor’s Corner by John Hendler Interesting how the media hype and hysteria over the George Zimmerman verdict immediately shifted into hype and hysteria over the birth of the Royal Baby as news networks and entertainment programs went wall to wall with breathless coverage once Kate Middleton went into labour, pushing Trayvon and George to the back burner, at least until the media gets bored with Prince George Alexander Louis and need to refill the hype and hysteria vacuum. I admit that I tuned in a time or two to see if Kate had the baby and then also checked in to get a glimpse of the new future King of England. And how the reporters marveled at William’s handling of placing the infant seat into the back seat of the car. One reporter swooned: He actually put the car seat in by himself! Hey, where was that excitement and hysteria when I put my newborn son into his car seat 18 years ago and then my daughter into her seat two years later? I hadn’t realized that I had done something so extraordinary. But then again, creating life is rather extraordinary. So, as much as I pooh-poohed the whole going overboard about the Monarchy, I do admit to taking a peek or two over the railing. Yes, hearing that a family member or friend had a baby is cause for celebration, but should many of this nation’s citizens get themselves worked up (or is it the media getting us worked up) into a tizzy over the birth of child from our country that we broke free from nearly two and a half centuries ago? Still, how can you not feel good about seeing the sight of two happy, glowing parents with their newborn baby? For those of us parents seeing them brought back memories of being a parent for the first time, so it was nice, if even for a short while to live vicariously through the new first-time parents. The Zimmerman verdict shelved what I had intended to write about last week: the mini heat wave we experienced with its oppressive humidity. During that hot spell, I could have sworn that I heard the lyrics from The Lovin Spoonful’s 60s hit, Summer In The City: Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn’t it a pity? Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head Or did I? Is it possible to experience an audio mirage when one is overcome by heat? I think it’s the quintessential song for hot weather in a city setting. You could almost “be” in essence, the song, as you walk downtown on a hot day, complete with horns honking, sirens blaring and jackhammers, well, jackhammering. And then there’s you, wearing a fine sheen of perspiration, leaving you dirty and gritty. Thank goodness that heatwave was short-lived and nothing like what we had last summer. And this weekend will remind us that fall is not too far off in the distance as we may not even hit 70 degrees today (Saturday) or Sunday. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

"I find it quite interesting because our second grandchild is due in four weeks. I like the name Kate and William picked, and I liked that he put the car seat in himself. He seems like a pretty normal dad.”
"I haven’t really given it much thought. But they both seem down-toearth for royalty. They seem to be sensible people. Seems like they’ll make good parents.”
"I think it’s a little much, but I understand the fascination. Since Diana has been gone, they’re the next generation. They seem real, but there are other things that could be covered by the media.”
Brian Whittaker, Marshall
Michael Alvarez, Bergen, Norway
Jennifer Inman, Marshall
"For Americans in particular, it’s something uniquely interesting because America doesn’t have royalty. This generation of royals are more accessible and even though they are celebrities, I think they are respected.”
"I think it’s kind of cool. My mom followed Diana and Charles when Prince William was born. She bought magazines and memorabilia. I watched the coverage of the birth. Kate was so gorgeous, and she just had a baby.”
"I really don’t care. It’s in England.”

Youth Theatre’s Hairspray was a superior performance To the Editor: If you missed the superior performance of Hairspray by the Marshall Civic Players Youth Theatre, we are truly sorry. Set in the racially-charged 1960s in Baltimore with a backdrop of a dance-craze show a la American Bandstand, this musical confronts and breaks down racial barriers (What!? Black and white kids dancing on the same stage?) and prejudices toward “substantial” women
(You’re too fat to be on TV), opening up opportunities for displays of courage. To a jam-packed Franke Center matinee on July 21, the young cast energized the show’s plot and characters to the point time stood still. Hairspray provided a wondrous showcase of youthful talents—so many fantastic standout singers, dancers, actors, we might as well publish the program. The audience’s hoots, hollers and cheers left great feed-
back for the stage, and the actors reciprocated. This presentation, a troupe of gifted teens and pre-teens from Albion, Battle Creek, Coldwater, Marshall, Olivet, Tekonsha and places in between conveyed a profound message: Children are taught to be colorconscious and prejudiced by parents and by society. Individuals and the greater good overcome those obstacles. Was Hairspray a coincidental choice given the Al-
bion High School students’ move to Marshall? We believe it spirit-inspired. Loving every moment, we wished it would have run two weekends for more people to experience this lively, timely performance. Thank you MCP Youth Theater. The enthusiastic standing ovations were truly deserved. Ann and Richard Grzeskowiak, Marshall
Thanks for supporting Marshall Area Garden Club To the Editor: On July 13 and 14, the Marshall Area Garden Club held our annual “Welcome to My Garden” tour, and once again, it was a wonderful weekend. The gardens were equally different and beautiful, and we can’t thank the garden owners enough for their gracious willingness to share their gardens. The volunteers working the tour, the
committee members who helped organize and run the event, and the city joined together to make it a great weekend. Thanks to all who were involved. It is worth mentioning as well that the proceeds from the Garden Tour go to making our city a more beautiful place. The plantings around Fountain Circle, the west end gardens, and Carver Park, just to name a few, are
funded by the Garden Club, and members provide planting and weeding. Go to www.marshallareagardenclub.org for more information. Thanks for supporting the Marshall Area Garden Club, and we welcome new members. Ann and Steve Rhodes, Marshall
Oaklawn Hospice grateful for ‘Holes for Hospice’ success To the Editor: Oaklawn Hospice and the entire Oaklawn Hospital team offer a huge “thank you” to everyone who supported the first-ever “Holes for Hospice” golf outing July 12 at the Medalist Golf Club. Thanks to the 120 participating golfers, more than $11,000 was raised to support Oaklawn Hospice’s comprehensive healthcare program.
Oaklawn is especially grateful to our title sponsor, HBC Contracting of Lansing, as well as several other sponsors and prize donors, including: BluFish Consulting, Eric Dale Heating and Air Conditioning, Knight Watch, Schuler’s Restaurant and Pub, Standard Printing and Office Supply, The Medalist Golf Club, FireKeepers Casino, Michigan Kitchen Distributors and Southwest Regional Rehabil-
itation Center. We’d also like to acknowledge the volunteer efforts of many staff members from Oaklawn Hospital and Oaklawn Physical Rehabilitation Services, without whose assistance the event could not have been possible. E. Michael “Mike” Beck, Executive Director of Development, Oaklawn Hospital
