PUTTingKids First
Editor’s CornerInteresting how the media hype and
hysteria over the George Zimmermanverdict immediately shifted into hypeand hysteria over the birth of the RoyalBaby as news networks and entertain-ment programs went wall to wall withbreathless coverage once Kate Middleton went into labour,pushing Trayvon and George to the back burner, at least untilthe media gets bored with Prince George Alexander Louis andneed to refill the hype and hysteria vacuum.
I admit that I tuned in a time or two to see if Kate had thebaby and then also checked in to get a glimpse of the new fu-ture King of England.
And how the reporters marveled at William’s handling ofplacing the infant seat into the back seat of the car.
One reporter swooned: He actually put the car seat in byhimself!
Hey, where was that excitement and hysteria when I put mynewborn son into his car seat 18 years ago and then my daugh-ter 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 therailing.
Yes, hearing that a family member or friend had a baby iscause for celebration, but should many of this nation’s citizensget themselves worked up (or is it the media getting us workedup) into a tizzy over the birth of child from our country that webroke free from nearly two and a half centuries ago?
Still, how can you not feel good about seeing the sight of twohappy, glowing parents with their newborn baby?
For those of us parents seeing them brought back memoriesof being a parent for the first time, so it was nice, if even for ashort while to live vicariously through the new first-time par-ents.
The Zimmerman verdict shelved what I had intended to writeabout last week: the mini heat wave we experienced with its op-pressive humidity.
During that hot spell, I could have sworn that I heard thelyrics from The Lovin Spoonful’s 60s hit, Summer In The City:
Hot town, summer in the cityBack of my neck getting dirty and grittyBeen down, isn’t it a pity?Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the cityAll around, people looking half deadWalking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match headOr 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 walkdowntown on a hot day, complete with horns honking, sirensblaring and jackhammers, well, jackhammering. And thenthere’s you, wearing a fine sheen of perspiration, leaving youdirty and gritty.
Thank goodness that heatwave was short-lived and nothinglike what we had last summer.
And this weekend will remind us that fall is not too far off inthe distance as we may not even hit 70 degrees today (Saturday)or Sunday.
Until next week, may the good news be yours.
The birth of Prince George Alexander Louis to Kate Middleton and Prince William gar-nered extensive coverage by the media in the United States and across the world.
Letters cont. to next page
Larry Grisham,Saline
"I haven’t really given it muchthought. But they both seem down-to-earth for royalty. They seem to be sensi-ble people. Seems like they’ll makegood parents.”
Michael Alvarez,Bergen, Norway
"For Americans in particular, it’ssomething uniquely interesting becauseAmerica doesn’t have royalty. This gener-ation of royals are more accessible andeven though they are celebrities, I thinkthey are respected.”
Word on the StreetWhat do you think of the fascination with the Royal Baby?
by John Hendler
Amy Rogers,Mattawan
"I think it’s a little much, but I under-stand the fascination. Since Diana hasbeen gone, they’re the next generation.They seem real, but there are other thingsthat could be covered by the media.”
Brian Whittaker,Marshall
"I really don’t care. It’s in England.”
Jennifer Inman,Marshall
"I think it’s kind of cool. My momfollowed Diana and Charles whenPrince William was born. She boughtmagazines and memorabilia. I watchedthe coverage of the birth. Kate was sogorgeous, and she just had a baby.”
Sandy Grisham,Saline
"I find it quite interesting because oursecond grandchild is due in four weeks. Ilike the name Kate and William picked,and I liked that he put the car seat in him-self. He seems like a pretty normal dad.”
Youth Theatre’s Hairspray was a superior performanceTo the Editor:If you missed the superior
performance of Hairsprayby the Marshall Civic Play-ers Youth Theatre, we aretruly sorry. Set in theracially-charged 1960s inBaltimore with a backdropof a dance-craze show a laAmerican Bandstand, thismusical confronts andbreaks down racial barriers(What!? Black and whitekids dancing on the samestage?) and prejudices to-ward “substantial” women
(You’re too fat to be onTV), opening up opportuni-ties for displays of courage.
To a jam-packed FrankeCenter matinee on July 21,the young cast energized theshow’s plot and charactersto the point time stood still.Hairspray provided a won-drous showcase of youthfultalents—so many fantasticstandout singers, dancers,actors, we might as wellpublish the program. Theaudience’s hoots, hollersand cheers left great feed-
back for the stage, and theactors reciprocated.
This presentation, atroupe of gifted teens andpre-teens from Albion, Bat-tle Creek, Coldwater, Mar-shall, Olivet, Tekonsha andplaces in between conveyeda profound message: Chil-dren are taught to be color-conscious and prejudiced byparents and by society. Indi-viduals and the greater goodovercome those obstacles.
Was Hairspray a coinci-dental choice given the Al-
bion High School students’move to Marshall? We be-lieve it spirit-inspired. Lov-ing every moment, wewished it would have runtwo weekends for more peo-ple to experience this lively,timely performance. Thankyou MCP Youth Theater.The enthusiastic standingovations were truly de-served.

Thanks for supporting Marshall Area Garden ClubTo the Editor:On July 13 and 14, the Marshall
Area Garden Club held our annual“Welcome to My Garden” tour, andonce again, it was a wonderful week-end. The gardens were equally differ-ent and beautiful, and we can’t thankthe garden owners enough for theirgracious willingness to share their gar-dens.
The volunteers working the tour, the
committee members who helped orga-nize and run the event, and the cityjoined together to make it a greatweekend. Thanks to all who were in-volved.
It is worth mentioning as well thatthe proceeds from the Garden Tour goto making our city a more beautifulplace. The plantings around FountainCircle, the west end gardens, andCarver Park, just to name a few, are
