Marysville "Where the Grass is Greener" is the local motto.
Everyone knows it.
The President may want to say: "As the train pulled in here,
I certainly noticed that the grass was greener in
Marysville."
A) The train will stop directly in front of the of the Champaign
Landmark grain silos. Harvest actively begins next week (Sept.
25) and will continue through October. Trucks unload their
soybean, corn, wheat, and oats for shipping to market. Champaign
Landmark purchased this site early this year.
B) Union County court house will be off to the President's right,
about two blocks away the courthouse belltower is Marysville
largest landmark.
c) VERY IMPORTANT INFO. THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE SPEECH:
Mrs. Bush is the granddaughter of the late judge James E.
Robinson of Marysville, who served on the Ohio Supreme Court from
January 1919 to December 1924 -- Mrs. Bush is VERY, VERY POPULAR
in Marysville townspeople wear: "Re-elect Barbara's Husband
President" buttons. (SEE ACCOMPANYING NEWSPAPER ARTICLE)
D) ANOTHER TIDBIT:

coffee for a nickel the big thing is for the locals to gather
at the counter for a five-cent cup of coffee perhaps one of two
or three places that sells a five-cent cup of coffee.
E) Honda is the largest employer (10,000 employees) -- the
company makes both cars and motorcycles -- employers are
non-union -- and the company supports President Bush's free trade
policies. Each year, the "Honda Homecoming" draws approx. 5,000
motorcycle enthusiasts from around the nation for a weekend in
town. (SEE ACCOMPANYING NEWSPAPER ARTICLE)
If we go with this, it's important that we refer to people who
ride Honda motorcycles as "Motorcycle enthusiasts" -- not
"bikers"
F) Marysville is host to the state-wide "All Ohio Balloon Rally"
that is held in August since 1975. About 25 hot air balloons draw
about 4,500 spectators each year.
THIS YEAR THE RALLY WAS HELD THE SAME WEEKEND AS THE "HONDA

G) There will be three local high school bands greeting the
President:
1) Marysville High School -- "MONARCHS" -- colors: Royal

paws. The Monarchs are ranked 13th in the state for division 2

2) North Union High School -- "WILDCATS" -- colors: black &

3) Fairbanks High School -- "PANTHERS" -- colors: red &

NOTE: Fairbanks High School is named after local resident,

33 & 36 on the eastern edge of the city) is the home of Wal-mart
department store -- expansion of East Pointe Plaza is scheduled to
take place this fall -- the expansion will add 142,235 feet --
According to David Glimcher, whose company is doing the expansion:
"our phones have been ringing off the hook with interested local &
regional retailers -- the Marysville market is tremendously
attractive to those retail and service providers ready to expand."
Commitments are already signed for 84 percent of space. It is
expected that 250-300 construction jobs will be created as a
result of the expansion & about 400-500 full or part-time jobs.
Some of the new stores: Big Bear grocery store, Fashion Bug, and
various specialty shops. -- state, local officials & retailers are
committed to the project.
ON BUSINESS:
Perhaps this information could tie-in with the President's agenda
for small business -- an example of economic growth about to get
underway & geared toward small business -- perhaps the intended
expansion of East Pointe Plaza would be the perfect opportunity to
point out how Clinton's proposals for small business would hurt
these future retailers.
ON EDUCATION:
On the editorial page of the Friday, September 18, edition
of the local newspaper, Marysville School District Superintendent
Jerry Stackhouse emphasized a key factor for parents improving
their child's academic performance is: "GETTING TO KNOW THEIR
CHILD'S TEACHER."
Some highlighted points the superintendent made in his
article:
a) "there is improved academic achievement as well as
improved social behavior, and decreased inappropriate and
antisocial behavior. Grades are improved and motivation is
increased as well.
For the good of the children, we must help
parents establish the priorities needed to become involved in
>
their child's education. As their child's first and most
permanent teacher, parents are an important part of school
success."
By way of example, perhaps the Supt's. remarks might segue with
the President's America 2000 -- also, I think the remarks
reinforce/compliment the President's agenda for stronger family
values -- i.e. a case could be made that Marysville not only
recognizes the importance of education, but that parents who
become involved with their children, and show an interest in their
academic growth, not only strengthen the family unit, but
encourage their children to pursue education -- the single most
important tool necessary to become successful in a competitive
marketplace.
