Editor’s Corner

As many of you know, I was bornand raised in South Florida andeven though I haven’t lived therefor nearly 30 years, and eventhough I couldn’t wait to escapefrom that crazy place, somewhere deep down, I stillhave a fondness and closeness for my hometown.During my formative years, the region was made fa-

mous by the Miami Dolphins’ perfect season, the influxof Cuban criminals, riots, Scarface and Miami Vice.And of course, there’s the ungodly heat and humidity

as well as yearly threat of hurricanes.Love it or hate, it still is My Miami.Author Sue Monk Kidd writes in The Mermaid

Chair, “You can go other places all right-you can liveon the other side of the world, but you can’t ever leavehome.”I’m sure that rings true for most of us, whether you’re

from Marshall, Kalamazoo, the U.P., California orHawaii.Speaking of Hawaii, I went to see the Dinesh

D’Souza film, 2016: Obama’s America, which exam-ines Barrack Obama’s early years during the time helived in Hawaii and Indonesia.In the film, D’Souza draws a parallel that the enig-

matic Obama elected in 2008 was shaped by his child-hood and young adult associations with those who heldstrong anti-colonial beliefs.As Michael Jackson once said, “All of us are prod-

ucts of our childhood.”I found the film to be an objective (mostly) and inter-

esting examination of what made Obama into who he istoday.If you are a full-fledged Obama supporter, some parts

of the film will probably make your blood boil.For those that are undecided about the president,

most will find the film interesting and thought-provok-ing.I liked the film because it provided an interesting hy-

pothesis that, whether you agree with D’Souza or not,gave you something to think about when the lightscame on, something that is in short supply with mostfilms these days.Changing gears, the number of West Nile virus cases

continues to increase in Michigan. Although no caseshave yet been reported in Calhoun County or its sur-rounding counties, it’s something to think about aswarm temperatures persist and we’re out and about en-joying the finals weeks of summer with dusk comingearlier and earlier.As for my football prediction for Marshall’s game at

Benton Harbor, the Redhawks will show that their pass-ing attack in the first game was no fluke as Marshallwill score on the ground and in the air to defeat BentonHarbor, 42-13.Until next week, may the good news be yours.

On Tuesday, Sept. 4, the Marshall City Council will discuss the Oaklawn HospitalCampus Overlay District as proposed by the Hospital and Neighborhood Com-mittee. They could vote to approve or disapprove the footprint or to amend thecurrent overlay before them. What do you think they should do?

“I’m divided on the issue. I under-stand the need for expansion of med-ical services, but also the need to main-tain Marshall’s historic landmarks.”

Meg Keller,Marshall

“It’s important that the hospital ishere. They should stay here, but theyshould consider expanding outside ofthe residential area. The hospital needsto think outside the box. Then every-one would be happy.”

Word on the StreetWhat should the City Council do regarding the HCOD?

by John Hendler

Obie Slone,Marshall

“I think they should approve it.”

Marge Hakes,Marshall

“I think the expansion a good thing.I support it 100 percent. When ex-panding, the hospital moves the his-toric homes to better places, such aswith the old Kempf house (the casketbuilding, now on F Dr. N).”

Lisa Barnes,Marshall

“Oaklawn is pretty big now. Theyhave a lot of land. They don’t need tobuild anymore. They are taking up waytoo much property in the city already.”

“I support the hospital’s expansion.They’ve always treated me good. I’vehad plenty of good experiences atOaklawn.”

Albion College not part of a ‘PILOT’ programTo the Editor:In its Aug. 25 edition, the

ad-visor&chronicle pub-lished a letter from Mar-shall resident DuaneCowgill describing whatsometimes are called “PI-LOT” arrangements. As youknow, the acronym standsfor “payment in lieu oftaxes.”

The author wrote that Al-bion College is involved insuch an arrangement, an as-sertion that is untrue.

In addition to my duties

as Albion College’s Presi-dent, I am a member ofOaklawn Hospital’s Boardof Directors. In that capac-ity, I believe it necessary toconfirm that Albion Collegeis not, and never has been,part of a PILOT arrange-ment.

As I understand it, thisinformation was provided tothe ad-visor&chroniclemore than two weeks agowhen city officials alsowere informed of the cor-rection. It is unfortunate

then, that Mr. Cowgill’s let-ter appeared without an edi-tor’s note indicating the ac-tual situation.

While Albion Collegehas never been part of thePILOT program, confusionmay arise because the col-lege has voluntarily sup-ported the local communityfor many years. In additionto the college’s financialcontributions to the commu-nity, our students, staff andfaculty generously give oftheir time as volunteers, in-

terns and members of localcivic organizations. As anOaklawn Hospital Boardmember, I am aware of andapplaud the high level ofcommunity support thatOaklawn Hospital providesfor the Marshall commu-nity. The community is in-deed fortunate to have suchvaluable resource for its cit-izens.

Dr. Donna M. Randall,President, Albion College

HCOD elevator talk: We love Oaklawn, but also historic townTo the Editor:If a person were to ask me, “So,

what is going on in Marshall with yourhospital?” here is the short version re-sponse I would give.

We all love Oaklawn Hospital, butwe also love our historic town. Thehospital has expanded in the past andmay expand in the future at its maincampus in the middle of ourtown. Our hospital leaders admit theydo not know when, where or howmuch expansion. Supporters of thehospital’s “plan” say give them whatthey want.

What do they want? They “want”

maximum flexibility to add floor areaand parking in any and all directionswhenever they might “need” to ex-pand. They say their proposed largearea would accommodate their “needs”for the next 20 years. Call it what it is- wants or a wish list.

We all would like to know what isbeing proposed. Maybe wait until theyhave a “need.” The City Council’sHospital and Neighborhood Commit-tee may have been well-intentioned,but it was hospital dominated and to-tally slanted to favor the hospital’swish list.

Hospital leaders say they cannot

predict the future. Why then would wewant our City Council to give awayzoning controls just to fulfill awish/want list of the current hospitalowners and leaders? It is our hospitaland our town. With the current state ofhealthcare, nobody knows what the fu-ture will bring to local hospitals. Wewant our council to restart the processso all stakeholders can be involved.

I look forward to seeing many con-cerned citizens at the fountain Tuesdayevening.

Martin Overhiser,Marshall

What does hospital expansion mean for Marshall homeowners?To the Editor:If the City Council ap-

proves the increase of size

of the existing expansion,they are giving OaklawnHospital the approval to

increase to any size theywant in the future. Thecity will have no say. Poor

land owners.

To our Friends throughout Marshall:

Since 1925, the people of Marshall and Oaklawn Hospital have worked as a team. As always, weall rely on each other. One precious quality that makes Marshall so attractive is how we care foreach other. We’ve proven time and again that we can work together so the best medical care can befound here.

Oaklawn’s physicians and staff members cite our city’s historic charm as a reason for coming. Inturn, those who settle in our city have helped preserve and nurture what we love about Marshall.In the past year, 13 physicians have been recruited to work here. Those new to Marshall invariablyexpressed amazement at the technology available at Oaklawn and delight in the beauty of thehospital’s campus and the community itself.Now a major challenge looms, because neither Oaklawn nor Marshall can stand still. Withouteconomic growth, we will stagnate and families will face greater challenges. To improve ourmutual chances of success, Oaklawn seeks the community’s support for the Hospital CampusOverlay District (HCOD), the focus of deliberations by Marshall’s City Council members beginningTuesday, Sept. 4.

We hope you will share your views in support of this plan with our Mayor and City Council. Thatwill go a long way toward helping them with this decision. A few words sent in care of CityManager Tom Tarkiewicz at [email protected] – with a request to forward them tothe Mayor and Council – can help.

The plan is the result of a project launched more than two years ago by former Mayor Bruce Smithand shaped by the Hospital and Neighborhood Committee, whose charge was to develop a plan forhospital expansion that would be acceptable to the community and the hospital. The workrequired 18 months of study, costing the hospital $225,000 and involving seven professionalconsultants. Oaklawn worked closely with city officials and committee members to find a solution.Oaklawn was asked to provide a 20-year look into the future, for the purpose of establishing anagreed-upon area around the current campus. Health care’s rapidly evolving nature meantguarantees and declarations of firm intent weren’t possible. Only a flexible approach would meetthe demands of unpredictable scientific, governmental and social changes two decades ahead.So, Oaklawn put everything on the table that was requested, to shape a reasonable, responsibleplan we believe will provide that flexibility – and sustain the community’s medical needs – nearthe city’s center. Through considerable thought and compromise, a district was designed. Tomaintain its best opportunities for the future, Oaklawn needs that full district – and the flexibilityto potentially expand in various directions within its boundaries. To approve only a part wouldremove that flexibility and defeat this process’ purpose.On behalf of the patients who called on Oaklawn to be their caregiver more than 165,000 timeslast year … On behalf of the 1,004 Oaklawn employees who’ve dedicated their lives and passion toserving others’ needs … On behalf of the 169 skilled and compassionate Oaklawn physicians whoare committed to their patients … On behalf of the 210 members of the Oaklawn HospitalAuxiliary who volunteer their time and energy to serve our patients and their families … We askfor your support in encouraging our Mayor and City Council to approve the Hospital CampusOverlay District as designed by the Hospital and Neighborhood Committee.Oaklawn always has served the best interests of the community and its citizens. Please join us incontinuing this tradition.

Sincerely,

Rob Covert Dr. Ginger WilliamsCEOPresident

Integrated Health Partners (IHP) is pleased to announce Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan has designated these primary care practices Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) for 2012- 2013.

The practices are among a select group of primary care physicians in Michigan who are improving health care quality by adopting the PCMH model of care. With the PCMH model, primary care physicians (pediatricians, internists and family practice doctors) lead care teams that bring intensive focus to their patients' individual health goals and needs. Practices take a holistic and comprehensive approach to patient care. PCMH teams coordinate patients' health care, track

complementary care (such as nutrition counseling) and help patients learn to better manage conditions like asthma and diabetes. A recent analysis of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan claims data suggests that PCMH designated doctors are succeeding in more effectively managing patients' care by keeping them healthy, preventing complications, and helping reduce emergency room visits. Integrated Health Partners is a physician hospital organization and joint venture of Calhoun County Physicians Organization, Inc. and Bronson Battle Creek. Its mission is to assure accessible, cost effective, high quality health care for our community.

The roster size may besomewhat smaller than inyears’ past, but the objective,says Marshall High Schoolvarsity football coach JimHendershot, remains thesame.

“The message here inMarshall is that our expecta-tions never change,” saidHendershot. “We expect todo well. We expect to becompetitive. We expect towin.”

After a 1-8 record in 2010in Hendershot’s first seasonas head coach, Marshall im-proved by three wins in 2011to post a 4-5 mark.

Senior running back TonyWimberly is expected to leadthe team offensively.

In the season opener ver-sus St. Joe on Aug. 24, Wim-berly, who missed the lasthalf of the 2011 season withan arm injury, rushed for 101yards and scored one touch-down.

What may be a harbingerof things to come this sea-son, junior quarterbackDanny Welke was 17 of 26for 279 yards and threetouchdowns (Lucas Blan-chard, Chase Bennett,Landry Reynolds) as theRedhawks showed theycould strike from the air.

It’s obvious we can scorewhen we need to score,” saidHendershot. “We came backand scored points againsttheir number ones. When wewent to our spread offense,we showed that we couldscore.”


After a three-year absence, Bill Dryer is back on theRedhawks sideline as defensive coordinator.

Volleyball sets sights on district titleBy JOHN HENDLER

News Editor

Following a positive firstseason in 2011 that showedmarked improvement, Mar-shall High School varsityvolleyball coach John Millerfeels he has the talent inplace to be near the top ofthe Southwest MichiganAthletic Conference as wellas challenging for the districttitle.

The team is off to a 7-3-2start, looking to improve onlast season’s 21 victorieswhich nearly doubled thewin total from 2010.

"I think we are off to a

good start.,” said MIller.“As a team, we set a goal tofinish in the top half of ourside of the SMAC. We alsoset a goal to win districts thisyear. That is going to be ex-tremely tough changing dis-tricts and now having Penn-field and Harper Creek. Sofar this season, the coachsays that Logan Kiesslingand Sarah Huffman havebeen the team’s most consis-tent performers with seniorCarmen O'Dell anchoringwhat Miller calls “an inex-perienced defense. “

“Carmen has stepped uphuge to fill the void left byAlecia Dennis,” said Miller.

For most weekday matches, the freshman and varsity teams will play at5:30 p.m. prior to the start of the varsity match. To view the freshman andJV schedules go to www.marshall.k12.mi.us

For the first time in several years, Marshall High Schoolgirls swimming coach John Hamlin enters the season stilllooking for his “go to” swimmer.

The past eight years saw Olivia Gary and Maya Kerr leadthe team in the pool, but Kerr’s graduation has left a bit of avoid.

“We have spots we need to fill and some of the girls needto step up,” said Hamlin, now in his 27th season as coach.

This season, Hamlin is assisted by coaches Dave Karns(boys swimming coach) and Melissa Winchell.

This year’s team is captained by Gabrielle Graves, Ce-leste Robbins, Kaitlan Keeder, Marra Boulanger and AshleyCole.


Ella Kramer is expected to be one of Marshall’s topswimmers this season.
