Editor’s Corner

I saw a segment on the TodayShow a while back that dealt withcyber-loafing or cyber-slacking,the practice of being online atwork for non-work purposes.A recent study reports that most of us spend more

than half our time at work and in some cases, as muchas 80 percent of our time at work looking at thingsthat have nothing to do with our jobs.

You know who you are.You know how easy it is to take an at-work detour:

You go to retrieve that important e-mail message, butfirst you’re just going to take a “quick break” tocheck Facebook, just in case anything important hasbeen posted, like photos of the sunrise, photos of catswearing hats or photos of dogs walking on logs.Or, there might be a game you could partake in

such as,”Name a movie title with the letter A in it.”Or, you check out the postings about recipes, your

friend’s kid’s “funny” story at dinner or someonewaxing poetic about the years passing them by: Lifeis good, but it’s just not what I dreamed it would be.Now, you’re kind of bummed out and you look at

the clock as that quick break has turned into 90 min-utes.No way you can get to work after reading that sad

post about your friend’s life not turning out the wayhe dreamed it would be, so you give yourself a fewminutes to perk up by playing Words With Friends,Song Pop or Slot-O-Mania.Or check out some videos on YouTube: Bob’s

Burgers Tina Driving and Dutch Announcer Can’tStop Laughing are two of my favorites.You tell yourself that, absolutely, positively, you

will get back to work just after you chill for a fewminutes.And after you check the weather forecast.You notice it’s going to snow (no kidding) and just

for fun, you check the weather in the Bahamas andstart wondering how much it would cost to get awayfor a long weekend to beat the winter blues.Finally, at around 11 o’clock and some two hours

later, you are finally ready to get to work.That is until, a co-worker asks if you want to take

an early lunch.After the morning you’ve had, how can you refuse?Apparently this so-called study has a “cure” to

solve this scourge in the workplace that is known ascyber-slacking.And I will find out what this cure is, just after I

check on the weather in Kathmandu and check thecricket scores from Australia.Five minutes, that’s all.Okay, 10 minutes, but that’s it.Promise.Until next week, may the good news be yours.

The ad-visor&chronicle asked these six Gordon Elementary School fifth graders whatlove means to them and what their families’ plans were for Valentine's Day on Feb. 14.

Letters cont. to next page

Dylan Sweeney,Marshall

"Love is my phone because it hasthings I can do when I’m bored. I likeValentine’s Day because we get choco-lates in yarn baskets.”

Lily Collins,Marshall

"Love is like a spark between two peo-ple. At our house, we have Valentineheart pancakes on special plates.”

Word on the StreetWhat does love mean to you?

by John Hendler

Hannah Peterson,Marshall

"Love is caring for another person,like my mom and dad treat me. I likeValentine candy hearts.”

Tyler Rupp,Marshall

"Love is my family. It’s the best.”

Morgan Hackworth,Marshall

"Love is an emotion that you canfeel for a friend, your family or evena hobby. I like the chocolates that myparents give us.”

Adrian Martinez,Marshall

"I think love is creepy! On Valentine’sDay we go out to dinner.”

Look closely at your Marshall electric/sewer/water billTo the Editor:Has anyone looked closely

at their city of Marshall elec-tric/water/sewer bill recently?My total due the city was$149.68. Of this total due,$56.66 is made up of thosethings listed below, which isover a third of the bill.

I am absolutely livid thatthe service charges, salestaxes and power supply costadjustments are more insome cases than the actualusage.

My electric usage for theperiod through Jan. 13 was$66.46. The A 95 Low In-come Surcharge, electric ser-vice charge, power supplycost adjustment and electricsales tax were an additional$23.95. That is over a fourthof my usage.

My water usage totaled$11.10, however, the waterservice charge was $18.12,more than my actual use.

The sewer usage was$15.55, and the sewer service

charge was $14.48, only$1.07 less than my actualuse.

How did we get into thisposition of paying more inservice charges than we actu-ally pay for use of the ser-vice? How did we get intothis position of paying almostas much in service charges asfor the use of the service?

I’m not sure which gov-ernmental entity is responsi-ble for this, but I do feelwhatever that entity is, owes

it to the people of Marshallto “fix” this.

I encourage you to look atyour most recent bill fromthe city of Marshall. If youare experiencing the sameunreasonable charges as Iam, please let your CityCouncil know of your con-cerns and dissatisfaction withthis gross injustice.

Judy Peters,Marshall

Have some respect for the American flags downtownTo the Editor:While driving Michigan Ave.

through downtown Marshall, I have no-ticed for several weeks now the Ameri-can flags that are displayed on existingparking meters are tattered, fallen orcompletely gone (although the woodenflag pole is still propped in the holder).The flags are even lying on the groundwrapped around the parking meterpoles. Yes people, that ‘s right; go takea drive through downtown Marshall andsee for yourself. Our American flag isbeing disrespected by “us” U.S. citizensand we call ourselves “Americans.”Wow!

Some of you were the first to standup and holler when enemies of the U.S.disgraced our land, you were the first toscream about the direct attack on theTwin Towers, yet you don’t scream andholler about the flags that lay lifeless inthe piles of snow in the downtown areaof Marshall. Shame on you!

The American flag should nevertouch anything beneath it, such as the

ground, the floor, water or merchandise,via United States Code Title 4 Chapter1—The Flag (#8 b. Respect for flag).The flag should never be fastened, dis-played, used or stored in such a manneras to permit it to be easily torn, soiledor damaged in any way (#8 e.). And yethundreds of us continue to ignore thisdisrespectful display of our symbol offreedom as it lay tattered and worn onthe ground.

Every American vet, active or non-active service member, U.S. citizen andcitizen of Marshall should be ashamedof how our flag is being treated. OurAmerican service people (past and pre-sent) have sacrificed for this countryand we, as citizens, can’t even take careof our flag properly. How it breaks myheart to see the flag disrespected likethat.

Remember, those that fought for ourfreedoms and the sacrifices they en-dured; respect that. The very least wecan do, is take care of the U.S. symbolof freedom. Shame on the person(s)

who have neglected these flags. Shameon the person(s) who have left them outin the weather without caring for them.Shame on the person(s) that have let theflags fall to the ground and get dirty,wet, buried in the snow or walked on.And shame on the person(s) who haveshoveled and piled snow on the fallenflags.

As an American, I am very disap-pointed in the treatment of this beauti-ful symbol of freedom. Maybe the flagsshould be removed from display alto-gether if they cannot be treated with re-spect.

I am not sure “who” pays for thoseflags, nor am I sure who is responsiblefor them and their care, but as a taxpaying American, I am very disap-pointed in the condition of the flags andthe negligence of their caretakers.Shame on anyone who is not peevedabout this topic. As Aretha Franklinwould say, “just a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T!”
