Editor’s Corner

March Madness is here.Sure, the NCAA tournament is

still a couple of weeks away, but tohear the politicians in Washingtonover the past few days, the countryas we know it will no longer be after The Sequester.I must point out that I am writing this column

around midday on Thursday, some 12 hours before itis officially March 1 or officially The Sequester .The name evokes detective shows from the 1970s,

like Columbo. Tonight’s episode: The Sequester.Sounds intimidating, doesn’t it?By the time you read this, lawmakers may have

worked out a deal, but in all likelihood, any deal thatmay get “worked out” will be nothing more than thetabling of the issue for another day down the road.Just kick the can down the road.It’s so easy to do.There was a lot of finger pointing of who came up

with The Sequester first and who’s at fault as theWhite House predicted that all sorts of calamitieswould take place should The Sequester, whichamounts to about a 2 percent cut in governmentspending, were to occur.We heard how thousands of teachers or first respon-

ders’ jobs would be lost, how airport security lineswould be blocks long, how hundreds of thousands oflow-income women and new mothers would lose foodaid and nutrition education.There would be 1,200 fewer inspections of danger-

ous worksites as well as 373,000 seriously ill peoplelosing mental health services.Lots of “could happen” scenarios.The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward writes of

how President Obama approved the plan put forth byhis employees and, in direct contrast to his currentrhetoric, agreed to a deal with Republicans that “in-cluded an agreement that there would be no tax in-creases in the sequester in exchange for what the pres-ident was insisting on: an agreement that the nation’sdebt ceiling would be increased for 18 months, soObama would not have to go through another such ne-gotiation in 2012, when he was running for reelec-tion.”Rather than the tough medicine President Obama

created to begin, on a miniscule scale, addressing ourballooning government spending, he treats sequesteras a Frankenstein’s monster birthed by Republicans.But Woodward reminds us that paternity lies firmly at1600 Pennsylvania Ave.But ultimately, one scenario is certain down the

road: It is estimated that by 2018, nearly 90 percent offederal spending will solely be for interest on our debtand entitlements like Social Security.Spending can only take you so far and the day of

reckoning is getting closer and closer as the roadwe’re kicking things down on is getting shorter andshorter.Until next week, may the good news be yours.

March is Reading Month and we asked these six people what they are currentlyreading and why it interests them.

Letters cont. to next page

Erin Fitzpatrick,Marshall

“I'm reading a script, AMemory, AMonologue a Rant and a Prayer editedby Eve Ensler and Mollie Doyle. I likehow it takes on issues about howwomen are treated. It's very accessiblereading to anyone.”

Mike Conley,Marshall

“I'm reading about quantum physicsbecause I'm curious about the origin ofmatter in the universe. I like authorsBrian Green and Sean Carroll.”

Word on the StreetWhat are you reading and why do you enjoy it?

by John Hendler

Charles Faulkner,Marshall

“I'm reading a book about U.S. his-tory up to 1815. It describes all theturmoil going on around the country.To me, reading is for every day of theyear.”

Sharon Linklater,Marshall

“I just got Father, I'm Frustrated.It's a religious book which is what Imostly read. I just bought it and amlooking forward to reading it.”

Shirlene Clemons,Marshall

“During February I read booksabout black history. Currently I'mmostly reading newspapers and maga-zines.”

Angela Semifero,Marshall

“Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore. It'sa fantasy novel that has a strong fe-male character who's become deter-mined to make her kingdom thrive af-ter decades of corruption.”

The Hospital Campus Overlay District legally flawedTo the Editor:We, the board members of

the Marshall NeighborhoodAssociation, Mike Galloway,Holly Harnden, GlendaJackson, Jerry Lehmann,Tim McCaleb, Janet Ostrumand Martin Overhiser, wouldlike to tell you the main rea-sons why we, and many ofour friends and neighbors,do not support the proposedOaklawn Hospital CampusOverlay District (HCOD).

Our City Council is hop-ing to put controversy be-hind them Monday evening,March 4 by adopting theHCOD after a public hear-ing. There is one big prob-lem. What council is intend-ing to adopt is not legal. TheMarshall Neighborhood As-sociation has retained an at-

torney who is experienced inplanning and zoning law. Itis his opinion that the pro-posed hospital zoning dis-trict can not be legallyadopted.

Things just do not add upfor those of us who haveclosely followed the creationof this enlarged hospitalzone. The hospital has noplans to expand. Certificatesof need to expand have notbeen filed with theState. Construction of newhospital buildings may neverbe needed. Where is thedemonstrated need to rezoneresidential properties for fu-ture hospital expansion?

Community hospitals arebeing bought out or mergedwith larger hospitals all overthe country. Bronson now

owns and operates the hospi-tal in Battle Creek. If ourhospital merges with a largerhospital, it is likely that ser-vices or departments will bemoved to othersites. Additional parkingmay be the only currentneed. If the proposed zoningdistrict passes we are mostlikely to see structures de-molished and surface park-ing lots built.

If you question what thehospital is proposing youmay be labeled as “not hos-pital friendly.” The problemwith this thinking is we donot have open discussionabout what is best for ourcommunity. If you rely onlocal medical care, wish thehospital success, are a coun-cil person, own a local busi-

ness, work for the hospital,contract with the hospital orhave friends, family orneighbors working for thehospital (which is essentiallyall of us) you may feel oblig-ated to support whateverOaklawn Hospital proposes.

As a community weshould think and plan holis-tically. The city’s MasterPlan needs to be updated toconsider the future needs ofthe entire town includingdowntown, the hospital andneighborhoods. Mayor JimDyer and City Council, werequest you not enact theproposed, legally flawed sin-gle focus HCOD ordinance.

Marshall NeighborhoodAssociation Board of Directors

AYSO welcomes new board members, regional commissionerTo the Editor:Marshall AYSO Region 1097 has
