ST. JOHNS – From the outside, pass-ersby have probably noticed some changesin the old Swegles School building in St.Johns. The transformation inside is evenmore impressive.

The building that served as an elemen-tary school for about 50 years has taken ona new purpose. It is the home of Beacon ofHope – a ministry of First Baptist Church ofSt. Johns.

“The church is committed to impactingand helping the community,” said KarenLeif, director of Beacon of Hope. “Our em-phasis is on helping with not only physicaland emotional needs, but with spiritualneeds as well.”

Beacon of Hope first opened in 1997 asa crisis pregnancy center and it functionedin that capacity for five or six years. Thenin October 2003 it reopened as a family care

center. At first about six or seven people aweek came for the Tuesday evening hours.Now Leif says they see 30 to 35 people onan average Tuesday evening.

Beacon of Hope is open the first Tues-day of each month from 4 to 8 p.m. All oth-er Tuesdays it is open from 5:50-8 p.m. OnTuesday evenings, clients can talk to an ad-visor – child care is available – visit the li-brary, shop in the store and get a box offood supplies.

Beacon of Hope operates on an ap-pointment system. Leif handles all enroll-ments. People should call the center at(989) 224-0328 and ask to enroll. There areno eligibility requirements, but clients mustenroll before participating in what Beaconof Hope has to offer.

In its new location, Beacon of Hope hasmore than 7,000 square feet of space – roomfor a library, children’s play area, several

St. Johns tallied 611,000 votes in 40days to take sixth place nationally. Threeother Michigan communities were includ-ed in the top eleven. “We’re glad for theirgood fortune,” said Bill Schafer, St. Johnsdirector of parks and recreation, “but we’dlike to show Reader’s Digest that we have

just as much spirit and commitment asGrand Marais, the first place winner.”

Reader’s Digest launched the contestto help communities struggling with re-duced municipal, recreation and tourismbudgets.

“The fact that Michigan communitiesled this competition shows that we’veturned the corner and are fighting our wayback to the top,” said Schafer. “This awardwon’t pay for the spray park, but it’s agreat start to kick off our fundraising ef-forts.”

Lots of entertainment and activities areplanned for the afternoon, so make plansnow to attend and show your St. Johnsspirit.

small rooms for advisors, a meeting room, a receptionarea, a “store” and plenty of storage.

Beacon of Hope is operated by 60-70 volunteers fromFirst Baptist Church. Some of them serve as client advisors.

“Our advisors are not licensed counselors,” said Leif.“They listen and give support.” But Beacon of Hope offersclients much more than a listening ear though.

“We are open to anyone who comes in and says ‘I needhelp’,” she said.

Some clients are single mothers. Some are married cou-ples and others are unmarried couples who live together.Many of them have children or are pregnant. Some are se-nior citizens – both male and female.

“We can fill in some of the gaps – the things other agen-cies don’t help with,” said Leif.

Clients’ initial need often is for material things like food,

clothing or other material needs. Some of the items are justgiven to clients. Some things can be “earned.”

“Clients can take part in our ‘Learn and Earn’ program,”said Leif. “Most seem to really like the ‘learn and earn’ con-cept.”

Clients are proud people and accepting a hand-out isdifficult for them. So earning things feels good, she said.The Learn and Earn program isn’t just about helping withwounded pride.

“It is a way to reward and encourage them to do the re-sponsible things for their families,” said Leif.

To earn points, they can read a book or pamphlet fromthe Beacon of Hope library. They can watch a video from thelibrary. Getting their children immunized is another way toearn credits. Clients can come in and help sort donations.They can attend a church service. The list goes on and on.

“Because we emphasize spiritual needs, if they don’t havea church home, we invite them to ours, if they live close,”

said Leif. “Or we help them find a church closer to theirhome.” Clients are all offered a Bible and Bible study materi-als.

“For many, it’s their first Bible,” she said.Another service of Beacon of Hope is the Laundry Basket

ministry.“If a woman is pregnant – it doesn’t have to be her first

pregnancy – she can earn a laundry basket filled with thingsshe will need during the first month after her baby’s birth,”said Leif. The basket includes things like Dreft laundry de-tergent for the baby’s clothes, baby wipes, onesies, diapersand other baby items. It also includes a copy of the book“What to Expect the First Year.”

Beacon of Hope is financially sustained by the First Bap-tist Church budget and by individual contributions. It doesnot get any government funding.

For more information or to enroll, call Beacon of Hopeat (989) 224-0328.

Celebrate National Library WeekAt a time when library usage is at an all time high, li-

braries are really helping their communities thrive in thesetough economic times. National Library Week is April10-16 this year. In the mid-1950s, research showed thatAmericans were spending less on books and more on ra-dios, televisions and musical instruments. Concerned thatAmericans were reading less, the American Library As-sociation and the American Book Publishers formed anonprofit citizens organization called the National BookCommittee in 1954. The committee’s goals were ambi-tious. They ranged from “encouraging people to read

in their increasing leisuretime” to “improving incomesand health” and “develop-ing strong and happy familylife.”

In 1957, the committeedeveloped a plan for Nation-al Library Week based onthe idea that once peoplewere motivated to read, they would support and use librar-ies.

With the cooperation of ALA and with help from the Ad-vertising Council, the first National Library Week was ob-served in 1958 with the theme “Wake Up and Read!”

National Library Week is observed each year in April,generally the second full week

Library ClosureThe Library will close at 1 p.m. on Friday, April 22 in

s

munication devices, and the subse-quent decrease in the number of landlines, led to the passage of Public Act164 in 2007, permitting counties to as-sess operational surcharges to all de-vices that can dial 9-1-1.

At that time, the Clinton CountyBoard of Commissioners passed reso-lution 2008-2, reducing the $4 per landline surcharge to $2 per device. TheMichigan Public Service Commissionapproved the $2 per device per monthamount as “reasonable and necessary”based upon the projected number ofdevices within the county.

The money generated from the $2surcharge is used for operational ex-penses. The added 25-cent charge willallow the county to proceed witha phased-in communication enhance-ment project, as funding becomesavailable.

Clinton County Commissionershave voted to contribute $500K to theproject for a couple of reasons. It willallow work to begin almost immediate-ly, if voters approve the additional 25cents, rather than waiting for the fundsto accumulate. Secondly, it makes itpossible to achieve the enhanced com-munication goals with just the 25-centper device increase.

The 911 Communication Enhance-ment Project involves two phases.Phase I includes the construction ofa tower in the southwest part of thecounty. This tower will provide sig-nificant improvement with in-buildingcoverage, as well as reduce the areasof the county where there is no radio

coverage. Additionally, it will includethe Federal Communication Commis-sion’s mandate to narrow band thecounty’s VHF, fire/ EMS emergencypaging system by Jan. 1, 2013.

Phase II will address in-buildingcoverage and dark spots (areas withno radio coverage) in the southeastportion of the county.

Phase I comes with a price tag ofabout $3 million. Assuming voter ap-proval, contracts would be signed inearly June, according to Fyvie. Con-struction would then begin the end ofJune and the tower would be ready togo online in April 2012. The projectedcost of Phase II is $1.7 million with aprojected completion date sometimein 2015.

The Clinton County Technical Advi-sory Committee spent more than fouryears investigating the county’s needsand the possible solutions.

Some residents have questionedwhy the commissioners did not decideto piggy-back on existing cell phonetowers.

According to Fyvie, there are a cou-ple of reasons Clinton County is notgoing that route. He did say that col-locating on an existing tower in Elsieis a possibility in the future, but it willnot solve the immediate needs.

The first fact residents need to un-derstand, according to Fyvie, is that thecell phone coverage needs are differ-ent from emergency services needs.

“Our radio signal strength is limit-ed by the FCC,” Fyvie said. “Our signalcan’t go more than five miles outsideour county borders.”

Another concern is the best use of

taxpayer money. The existing cellulartowers are not tall enough to meet the911 needs, so additional height wouldneed to be added. The cost involvedwith the increase added to the fees thetower owners would assess make useof existing towers more costly thannew construction.

Location of towers in the southernpart of the county is complicated bythe location of the airport. The Fed-eral Aviation Administration limits thelocation and height of towers near theairport.

The board of commissioners au-thorized Central Dispatch to hire anindependent consultant to assist inevaluation solutions options.

The consultant looked at upgradingthe current EDAC system (Harris) orswitching to another vendor, and if so,which one.

Bids were received from just twoviable vendors – Harris and Motorola.Switching to Motorola would have costmore than $1.5 million more than stay-ing with Harris.

The vendors were asked to consid-er collocating on existing tower siteswithin or near the county. Both ven-dors agreed that in order to meet theminimum in-building radio coveragerequirements, new towers would berequired.

Volunteers needed for projectWe are asking you to help us feed those

in need in Clinton County. Last year mywife Adele and I bought a couple of bullcalves with hopes to raise one of them togive to local food banks. We are about to besuccessful in our first adventure.

I have enjoyed all that has gone into thisproject to Help Other People Eat (HOPE).Credit for the above acronym “HOPE” be-longs to Tom Cullimore. His organizationhelps us by paying for processing deer andnow beef as well as the distribution of thefinished product to food pantries and kitch-ens in the greater Lansing area.

Now how you can help. We will buy one-week-old calves. You can help sponsor anew calf in many ways - mixing the formu-la and feeding calves their bottle and dish-ing out calf feed and hay. They need to begiven a bath from time to time. There is alsohouse keeping. Pens have to be cleanedup and fresh new straw made up by bedtime. We will be dehorning and making thebulls into steers. We will need help on thosedays.

We also need supplies for this project,things like straw for bedding and milk re-placer, hay and feed for these guys. Eachsteer will be a 12-14 month project. We needlots of straw, hay and feed. We hope to havesome of this donated, but we will also needcash donations (tax deductible) for these

needs and the occasional veterinary visit.Adele and I are planning fun family

events for our volunteer partners, like fam-ily picnics, cookouts, square dances, bon-fires, calf roping, greased pig contests, andmaple syrup making in early spring.

Call Red-line Paraclete Ministries andask for Pastor Russ or Miss Adele at (517)230-4618 or (989) 640-3723.

Pastor Russ McCoyRPM

ST. JOHNS – Mid-Michigan isblessed with outstanding wrestlers,and in 2011 the talent is deep enoughthe Lansing State Journal wrestler ofthe year award had to be split.

National sensation Taylor Massa, ajunior at St. Johns, and Conor Yout-sey, a senior at Mason, have beentouted with that honor. Both wontheir third consecutive state champi-onships, March 5, at The Palace of Au-burn Hills.

“Taylor and I are great friends;we’ve trained together since we werelittle kids,” Youtsey said. “It’s going tobe cool down the road to be able tolook back and know we (shared) thewrestler of the year.”

Youtsey won the 119-pound weightclass in Division 2 each of the past

three years. This year’s bracket hadtwo former state champs as well, mak-ing it arguably the toughest in the statefor Youtsey to defend.

He is moving on to wrestle at WestPoint as part of a 10-year minimumcommitment to his education and ser-vice in the Armed Forces.

He ended his prep career at 203-2,one loss coming in overtime to team-mate Tony Burge as a freshman in thestate semifinals, which led to a third-place finish.

Massa cruised through the state fi-nals again this year, at 160 pounds,for his third state title and a shot at afourth his senior season.

Massa’s high school career recordstands at 186-0 with a year remaining.Only five wrestlers with more than 200wins have gone undefeated in Michi-gan during their four-year career - in-cluding Andy Simmons of Williamston

(219-0) in 1999-02 and brother NickSimmons (211-0) from 1998-01.

Last year Massa broke his ownschool record of 48 pins by adding 51in 2010, but this year put less empha-sis on getting pins, finishing with 42,although only two of his 59 wins thisseason went the full six minutes.

“I don’t think Taylor made a stylechange,” Coach Zane Ballard said. “ButI did see a style change in other peoplewho wrestled him more than in himchanging. A lot of kids go out thereagainst him and consider it a victory ifthey don’t get pinned by Taylor.

“He’s a very humble kid,” Ballardadded. “He’s a different type of leader.He doesn’t lead so much verbally inpractice, but when it comes to bigmeets he becomes a verbal leader andtells the kids exactly what they needto do and what the team expects fromthem - and they respond.”

Kevin W. Fowler-Lansing State Journal

Zane Ballard is on astreak, having been namedLansing State Journal wres-tling coach of the year fora third consecutive season -right on the heels of the Red-wings’ second straight teamDivision 2 state champion-ship.

“I accept the award, notso much on behalf of me buton behalf of the entire com-munity and everybody thatputs so much time into thewrestling program,” Ballardsaid. “Starting with the youthprogram and right on up.”

St. Johns won last year’sstate championship with one-point wins in both the final(31-30 over Allegan) and

semifinal (29-28 over Green-ville) matches. This season,each dual meet and the fi-nals, were more viewed bythe wrestling community aswhether or not teams couldavoid being crushed by theRedwings. St. Johns beat avery capable Greenville teamagain a few weeks ago, butthis time the score was 54-18.“I think this year we had a lothigher expectations placedupon us, by others and byourselves,” Ballard said. “Go-ing into the state finals thisyear we were more nervous,as a group, because we wereexpected to win it. Last yearwe didn’t feel that pressure.

“This year we went inwith the expectation of win-ning it, so that was the maindifference.”

Mason coach Brian Mar-tel had an almost identicalview.

“I respect Zane; he does agreat job,” Martel said. “He’swell deserving of the award.

“They have put togethera great program and they’regoing to have one of the bestteams, maybe ever, to rollthrough Michigan next year.Last year was probably a yearearly for them; they proba-bly weren’t expected to winit (D2 title) so the fact theygot it last year, and this year,and probably are a shoe-infor next year - that can be agreat run for them.”

The team went 32-0, in-cluding a regular season winover then No. 1- ranked Divi-sion 1 Detroit Catholic Cen-tral. Ballard singled that outas a confidence-boosting win,but also praised the uniqueand fun opportunity MSUgives them by wrestling adual match prior to a col-lege match. This year St.Johns hosted and beat Ox-ford, the eventual Division1 state champ, prior to theMSU-CMU matchup.

Only one starter grad-uates, 215-pounder TaylorPemberton, causing virtual-ly every team in the stateto already be engraving thechampionship trophy withthe Redwings’ name - butBallard would be the first tosay that’s way too premature.But St. Johns’ run has cer-tainly caught the attentionof national experts too, whohave ranked the Redwings inthe top 15 at different timesthis year.

“We knew if we got beat orhad close matches that woulddrop our national ranking,”Ballard said. “I always tellthe kids the rankings arejust that, rankings, but deepdown everybody likes somerecognition on a national lev-el and people don’t want tolose that.”

That doesn’t appear to bea problem for St. Johns - atleast for one more season.

ELSIE – Fowler baseballwas edged 15-14 in the sea-son opener by nonleague Ov-id-Elsie April 12. The Eaglesscored four runs in the topof the ninth inning to breaka 10-10 tie, but the Maraud-ers came back to score fiveruns in the bottom of the in-ning for the win.

Originally scheduled tobe a doubleheader, the firstgame lasted more than fourhours and the second gamewas cancelled.

“We were up five runs atone time and four runs anoth-er time, but we just couldn’thold the lead on them,” Fowl-er coach Chad Rhynard said.“They had some big kids andthey can swing the bat a littlebit.” The Eagles broke loosein the fifth inning, scoringeight runs to take a 9-4 lead,but the Marauders continuedto chip away, tying the gameat 10-all in the seventh.

Rhynard used four pitch-

ers in the game with KevinKoenigsknecht taking theloss. “I think we were a littletentative on the mound,” Rhy-nard said. “I told the pitch-ers afterwards that they hadto stop thinking about hittingthe corners and start focus-ing on getting the ball overthe plate and just reachingback and throwing it.”

Like other mid-Michiganteams, the cold, wet springhas limited the amount ofoutside practices for Fowl-er. “We haven’t been outsidemuch; this was only the sec-ond time we’ve been able toface live pitching,” he said.“So much of our pitchinghas been (inside) in the bullpen.” Rhynard, now in hisseventh season, is optimisticabout the team’s chances inthe CMAC. “I really like thisteam; we have the ability toapply pressure,” he said. “Wehave speed and that adds awhole new dynamic. Twicetonight (against O-E) we hadthe lead off guy on, and in-stead of bunting him over,

he was able to steal second.It’s nice not to have to giveup outs to move the runnersup.” The Eagles’ speed on thebase paths showed. DustinWirth was 3-for-3 in steal at-tempts and T. Koenigsknechtstole twice, including takingthird. “When he (T. Koenig-sknecht) singles, it’s essen-tially a double because he’sgoing to have such a goodsuccess rate at stealing,” Rhy-nard said.

Fowler was also able tosquare off on Marauder pitch-ing. Alex Goerge was 2-for-2at the plate with a doubleand 5 RBI. A. Goerge’s sac-rifice fly to deep right-centerdrove in T. Koenigsknecht inthe seventh inning for the go-ahead run. Trent Goerge was2-for-5 with a double and fourRBI. “We have some kids thathit the ball and we have kidsthat can run,” he said.

Despite having only onesenior and one junior, theEagles bring in a lot of ex-perience this season. Six ofthe eight juniors on the team

were starters and all saw lotsof playing time last year.

“We have a good mix; lastyear we had some glaringweaknesses; they were justthere; we couldn’t get rid ofthem,” Rhynard said. “Thisyear we are pretty solid ev-erywhere. When we get play-ing, I think we are just goingto get better.”

Senior Josh Schmitt willbe the ace, and JacobSchmitt, K. Koenigsknechtand T. Koenigsknecht willall be starters against leagueopponents. Rhynard said helikes what he sees in second-year catcher Cameron Bon-gard. “He likes it back there;he likes the pressure,” hesaid about Bongard.

Rhynard sees Bath andPortland St. Patrick as theteams to beat to be in conten-tion for the CMAC crown.

“There are so many goodthings about our team thisseason,” he said. “We are notgoing to be spectacular atany one thing; we are not go-ing to be the best pitching

team, the best hitting team,we are not going to be thebest defensive team, but I

think combination wise, weare going to be near the topin all those things.”

ST. JOHNS – Redwing kickers shutoutnonleague Ovid-Elsie 1-0 April 12 to give St.Johns a 3-0 start to the season.

Gabie Shileika had the lone goal for St.Johns with an assist from Chelsey Thelen.

“Ovid-Elsie is a very young and talentedteam. To come out with this win was pret-ty big for us,” Redwing coach Kim Brew-baker said. “We were all on break last weekand we were clearly rusty, but our defensecame up big and really turned back somegreat runs by Ovid-Elsie.”

Redwing goalkeeper Autumn Guarnac-

cia had six saves. The Redwings had sevenshots that were blocked by Marauder goal-keeper Brittany Jones.

“We’re still trying to get a handle onwhere to play a few of the girls, and with thecompetition we’ve got coming up, I thinkwe will get a good look and find what is go-ing to work for us,” Brewbaker said. “All ofthe girls are doing a great job and playinggreat right now. We are looking forward tosome great matches this season.”

ELSIE – Fowler softballhanded first-year coach KatSchmitt a pair of wins inthe season opener, sweepingnonleague Ovid-Elsie 16-4and 11-6 April 12.

Schmitt coached the LadyEagles for six seasons be-fore taking several years off.She is assisted by KevinSchmitt and former Eaglefootball, basketball andbaseball standout PatrickO’Rourke.

Sophomore Danielle Go-erge was the winning pitcherin first game, holding the Ma-rauders to three runs. CamiWieber won the nightcap.

“Our defense overall waspretty good; we had a cou-ple of miscues, but that’s tobe expected,” Schmitt said.“A lot of the girls didn’tget much chance to playlast year. Some of it wasnervousness with them, butoverall I thought it was pret-ty good.”

The Lady Eagles havefour seniors, Krista Jander-noa, Alexis Schmitt, TaylorDavis and Mary Schomisch.Jandernoa earned all-leaguehonors as a junior.

“They were sophomoreslast year and didn’t get much

playing time; we graduateda bunch of seniors,” Schmittsaid about the several ju-niors on the team.

“We have kids who areplaying new positions, andI was impressed with howwell they covered what theyneeded to.”

A. Schmitt went 4-for-4 atthe plate in the opener, hita double, scored twice anddrove in three runs. Jander-

noa had three steals and was2-for-3 in the nightcap, scor-ing twice.

Kat Schmitt said LindseySchmitt ran down a liner toleft field that looked to be anextra-base hit, but Schmittheld the Marauder hitter toa single.

“I think we are going todevelop into a nice teamand we are going to surprisesome people,” Schmitt said.

Elaine BashoreMrs. Bashore was born Elaine Agnes Mill-

er on December 29, 1925 in Fowler, Michi-gan to John and Martha Miller.

She was preceded in death by brothersVernon, Walter, Jack and Ernest. Survivingsiblings include beloved sister Marie Pear-son, brothers Robert (Eva), Roy (Treva)and Hughie (Jeanette).

Her years growing up among her nine closely-knitsiblings on a farm in rural Fowler formed an indelible back-drop for the rest of her life. She regularly referred to herselfas nothing more than "a simple country girl" and took greatjoy from simple pursuits. She graduated from Fowler HighSchool in 1944. Despite her rural upbringing, as a youngwoman she flirted with the attractions of "city life." Today,the memory generates smiles, but then, she and her sisterMarie aspired to be "Lansing Girls."

Elaine married John H. Bashore of St. Johns on September2, 1950 and helped raise two children, Mark and Steph. Lat-er, she was employed at Saylor Beale in St. Johns and spent16 fulfilling years as a teacher aid at Leonard Elementaryschool in Ovid, retiring in 1984. Her richest joy in life in-volved children---her own, those she accompanied on theschool playground and her adored grandchildren, Audreyand Ethan. They were forever ruined by their Grandma’slegendary pumpkin roll. All her pleasures were simple: birdwatching, her dog Bart and her Grand-dog Bear, shopping,gardening and the occasional late Winter vacation to Floridato visit daughter Steph and to watch the Detroit Tigers playpre-season baseball. Above all, she will be remembered forher warmth and kindness, which earned her the heartfelt af-fection and love of many people.

A gathering of friends and family to celebrate Mrs.Bashore’s life is scheduled for Friday, April 15 at theUnited Church of Ovid at Noon, lunch provided. In lieuof flowers, the family suggests donations to the Capital AreaAudubon Society, PO Box 22065, Lansing, MI. 48909.Arrangements were entrusted to Keck-Coleman FuneralHome, St. Johns, MI
