Laura Emerick is this week's Aces of Trades
MARION – Laura Emerick can’t imagine doing anything else. “I had a lot of interests and possible careers I considered during childhood,” Emerick said. “There was a time I was really interested in orthopedic surgery after dealing with some running injuries. "I also had an interest in writing and journalism. But I always came back to teaching. I come from a family of teachers. My grandma taught fourth grade and my mom taught 6th grade, and they were both truly excellent teachers.” “One of my favorite things to do was go to my grandma’s house on the weekends because she would let me help grade papers, and my mom would always take me to the local teacher store where I would stock up on workbooks, stickers, and fun/pretty pencils," she said. "She even let me get my own gradebook for playing school with my younger sister, sometimes against her will. I took this very seriously. It came naturally to me. And while I may not have ended up teaching elementary school, at my core I have always been a teacher.” Today, Emerick is associate vice president of student success and engagement, and chief student affairs officer, at Marion Technical College.

'Wall That Heals' film is this week's MarionMade!
Each week, Marion Technical College shares MarionMade! stories of our many wonderful people, places, products, and programs in the greater Marion community. To read more positive stories of Marion, or to share some of your own, visit us at marionmade.org or on social media. A Marion filmmaker is bringing a labor of love to the big screen. Terry Cline and his team of veteran videographers created a new film highlighting the “Wall That Heals,” the traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to Delaware in 2024. “We need to honor all veterans. We should never forget the veterans,” Cline said. “When many Vietnam veterans came home, they were told to change into their civvies so they weren’t spit upon and called ‘babykillers.’” Veterans and volunteers who built the wall are invited to a showing of “Honoring our Veterans: The Wall that Heals” at the Strand Theatre in Delaware on Nov. 12. It will then be free to watch on YouTube. It will also be entered in the Worldfest-Houston independent film festival. One of the catalysts who helped bring the wall to central Ohio and making the documentary was Brian Galligher. He is a veteran who still serves in the Navy

Nobody Expects A Hall Of Fame Dedicated To Popcorn In Marion, Ohio
Over 50 antique popcorn carts and machines sit under a circus tent indoors. That sounds like a dream for any snack fan. I believe that alone is worth a drive across Ohio. The building is a grand old post office with columns and wide front steps. Inside, the popcorn is only the first act.
