ST. JOHNS - St. Johns “home field advantage” this fall will have a new look at Frank Buck Stadium. A 100-foot section of steel bleachers was removed after inspectors found them to be unsafe this spring.

The final configuration of the stadium is undecided, but an interim plan calls for moving the remaining three sets of bleachers from the home side of the field to the visitors’ side thus switching the home and visitors’ sides for this season. New bleachers slated for the baseball, softball and soccer fields will be temporarily installed on the west side for visiting fans. “It’s still in discussion, and as we work through this, things could change,” St. Johns Athletic Director Chris Ervin said. “But we fully expect to

to the middle school, but determined it would not work. “It would be an impossible situation because of a number of factors,” Ervin said about the middle school field. “Obviously the big one is there are no lights over there.” Ervin said the field lacks seating capacity, does not have readily available rest room facilities and would make it impossible to charge admission at the site.

Safety concerns This spring the district had the football bleachers inspected by an outside firm and the district’s insurance carrier. Both determined the bleachers were unsafe and needed to be removed, according to Ron Patterson, director of operations for the school, “They had deteriorated to the point where they were unsafe,” Patterson said.

The district wasted no time in removing the steel bleachers, tearing out about a large section before the June graduation ceremony traditionally held on the football field. The school planned to set up folding chairs on the field for the graduation, but wet weather forced the ceremony inside to the high school gymnasium. Students from the high school’s metal shop program removed the bleachers that were sold for scrap with proceeds benefiting the program. All that remains on the home-field side is three sets of existing aluminum bleachers that will likely to be moved to the visitors’ side of the field. The district made plans to purchase the bleachers for the baseball, softball and soccer fields, and for the football field after voters approved a $64 million bond request this spring for district-wide improvements. About $4 million of the bond was earmarked for improvements to the football field, including moving the field slightly to

the east to provide more space for the home bleachers and for a press box. Patterson said the stadium, which was purchased from the City of St. Johns in 2005, is boxed in on the west side by a road servicing the city park, making it impossible to add more bleachers on the home side unless the field is shifted to the east. At home football games, the bleachers are generally filled and fans frequently spill out alongside the west and south sides of the field. “We can seat about 2,600, and that is obviously not enough,” Ervin said. When the bleacher portion of the project is complete, the stadium will seat about 4,000 fans, 3,000 on the home side and about 1,000 on the visitors’ side. Other improvements for the football stadium include additional rest rooms and an expanded concession stand, new lighting and a scoreboard, handicapped parking and home and visitor locker room facilities on the north end.

The Redwings have four home games scheduled for the regular season, including the final game of the season against Clinton County rival DeWitt, traditionally the biggest draw of the season. “We have concerns about the DeWitt game whether there will be enough seating,” Ervin said. “We’re exploring other options; we could hold that game at another field if necessary.” Ervin said they have considered holding the game at CMU or another large stadium. The bleachers purchased for the baseball, softball and soccer fields are part of the new bond, with about $1 million earmarked for improvements to those facilities. Eventual improvements include new fields for softball and baseball, rest rooms and concession stand, replacement of the high school track surface and adding fencing for safety and security at the track and soccer sites.

ST. JOHNS - Rock Harley is the Man in Black. That’s what audiences say after seeing Harley’s tribute show to the late, great Johnny Cash. MidMichigan residents can witness the transformation for themselves during Harley’s Aug. 4 appearance at the St. Johns City Park Performance Shell. The 7 p.m. show is part of the weekly Concert in the Park Summer Music Series; no admission charge. Harley may be a relative newcomer to the “tribute” music scene, but he’s been a faithful fan of the Man in Black since childhood. The Detroit native recalls arriving early at the Michigan State Fair for a show when he was 7 years old, and waiting patiently for the superstar to take the stage. His effort earned him a guitar pick - from Cash, of course.

Kiwanis AKtion Club members recently hosted a patriotic picnic in honor of Military Moms, family members, veterans and other loved ones of those serving in the Armed Forces. At this special event in Motz County Park, honored guests enjoyed all the trappings of a typical summer picnic. Carrie Curtis, support technician with Transitions of St. Johns, assisted AKtion Club members in coordinating the gathering. She summed up the spirit behind the occasion. “AKtion Club members are very supportive of military men and women from our area who are serving in the Armed Forces,” said Curtis. “They really wanted to do something special to recognize the sacrifices made by them and their families. This picnic was entirely their idea and they have worked hard to see it come together.” AKtion Club members

worked to assemble all the items needs for a successful event – from planning the menu to ordering the food and finally sending the invitations. While AKtion Club members acted as hosts and hostesses, several St. Johns Kiwanis supported the event by grilling hot dogs and hamburgers and overseeing the serving line. Kiwanian Nan Simons, liaison to the AKtion Club, and Curtis worked with members to ensure guests had everything they needed to enjoy the picnic atmosphere. “This picnic is just one more example of the close bond AKtion Club members feel with our community. This group always inspires me to work harder at finding new community partnerships where their enthusiasm will be welcomed and appreciated.” In all, the evening event was enjoyed by the nearly 40 attendees.

Hero nominations sought through Aug. 7 our children off to school. We wanted to do something unique this Sept. 11 to recognize these local heroes who have dedicated their lives to saving and protecting our lives.” Ten finalists for the TriCounty Hero Award will be announced by Aug. 28. Three winners—representing fire, police and emergency medical services—will be announced and recognized at Ingham Regional Healthcare Foundation’s “Stars and Stripes Forever” Sept. 11 event, featuring country music icon Lee Greenwood (best known for his single “God Bless the USA”). Each of the three winners will also be presented with a $2,500 check from Ingham Regional Medical Center to be used for equipment needs.

Sparrow Hospice to begin training volunteers Sept. 25 Sparrow Hospice Services fall volunteer training begins Saturday, Sept. 25. The trainings will be four consecutive Saturdays from 9 a.m. until noon at the St. Johns office. At this time, Sparrow Hospice Services is looking for volunteers who can provide patient care for Home Hospice patients (the service area includes Carson City, Charlotte, Eaton Rap-

ids, Ionia, Ithaca, Perrinton, Portland, Sheridan, St. Johns, and the greater Lansing area) and patient care at Hospice House of Mid-Michigan (St. Lawrence campus) during morning hours, late evening hours, Saturdays and Sunday afternoons. Registration is required, call (517) 364-7213 or e-mail kelly.voisinet@sparrow.org. — From Sparrow Hospice Services

“First responders are crucial to our hospital’s mission,” said Robert N. Wright, president and chief executive officer of Ingham Regional Medical Center. “They are often the first call a heart attack or stroke victim makes for help and first to the scene of an accident. They deliver the sick and injured into the healing hands of our physicians.” The Tri-County Hero Award is the first of its

kind in the region—and even the state—to recognize the heroism local first responders demonstrate on a daily basis. In addition to honoring local first responders, Ingham Regional Healthcare Foundation’s “Stars and Stripes Forever” Sept. 11 concert event featuring Lee Greenwood will also recognize the men and women of the armed forces for their bravery and sacrifice.

I worked closely with him last December as we raised the funds necessary to bring the 1073rd Michigan National Guard troops home for Christmas. As the mother of one of those soldiers, I am thankful he took up that cause. He even rode the bus down to pick them up just to make sure everything ran smoothly.

Victory Gardens project hoping to grow The Victory Gardens of Clinton County is a new and exciting community project formed in St. Johns and the first meeting was held July 26. While still in the initial planning stages, and welcoming more participants for needs beyond the gardeners, Victory Gardens is on its way to becoming a well-formed organization and planning to request non-profit status. The mission statement is: Education, propagation, growth and sharing for a

healthier way of life for all. This natural, pesticidefree garden is located at 301 North Scott Road, St. Johns, three blocks north of M-21 on the west side of the road. Clinton County Area Transit has committed to offering free transportation to and from the site for those working their garden space. This is an example of the support that has been generated even at this early stage. Fund raising ideas are being explored and will be seeing

visible out in the community in the near future. And while the plans are being formed, the list of needs is being presented to the community for whatever support they may be able to supply. Many things large and small are needed, for instance: hoses, buckets, a lockable shed for garden tools and the tools themselves such as, rakes, hoes, shovels, hand tools, rototiller, tomato cages, stakes, fencing or any implements

Letters to the editor In the past couple weeks Jim McClelland, Ovid Township supervisor and member of the Ovid-Middlebury Emergency Services Board, has written articles to local area newspapers citing reasons why OMESA should not spend $13,000 for an unbiased consultant to study our emergency services. We, the opposition, greatly appreciate the lifesaving services provided by our firefighters and ambulance personnel. However, there is a huge difference in what McClelland and his supporters are saying in public and what “they” do. First, at the Ovid Township level, they built a township hall that will cost the residents over $750,000 - without a public vote. They said they knew the right thing to do, so why bother asking the Ovid Township residents. Second, they orchestrated two public bond proposals - $2.5 million then for $1.7 million to build a combination fire/ ambulance facility. Both issues were stopped by citizen petition drives. Ovid Township Board refused to validate the signatures thus denying the citizens a vote. It was later learned their financial plan to pay-off the yearly bond payments was seriously flawed and could have resulted elimination of the ambulance service, tax increases, wage reductions, equipment deferrals, reduced training and more. Since their building, bond and financial plans and proposed changes to OMESA articles and by-laws have all met with taxpayer opposition, McClelland has been removed as chairman of OMESA and the lawyer and treasurer have resigned. The new OMESA board does not see things McClelland’s way. Third, our current OMESA future business plan is to buy a replacement ambulance in 2015 and replace a fire engine truck in 2022, and we want a new facility - that’s it. OMESA is a $500,000 business; that’s our future business plan. Fourth, all three legal entities comprising OMESA have been “lawyered-up” to deal with legal issues being fostered by Ovid

Township’s board. What was once a group of three local government entities that operated on a “firm handshake and a straight look in the eye,” has become a total lack of trust. These government entities face over $40,000 during this mess for lawyer fees. We believe an experienced EMS consulting firm has a great deal. We don’t know all the answers. We think the $13,000 consultant fee will be well spent and not wasted like the $190,000 McClelland’s and his supporters have flushed down the toilet.

On behalf of the Clinton County Arts Council, the Fun Family Fridays organizing committee would like to thank the 50 adventurous people who participated in the first ever Progressive Dinner in downtown St. Johns. From all reports, the participants liked the experience and enjoyed the food. We apologize that there was unexpected road construction on Railroad and Spring Streets that night, but people managed to work around it well. Special thanks go to The Mint, Main Street Café, Main Street Pizza and Cindy’s Ice Cream for taking the plunge and working with us on this. Since none of us had any idea how many people would participate, they were taking quite a chance. We hope that they feel it was worth their efforts. Response was so enthusiastic that we are considering having a similar event on Aug. 27, the last night of Fun Family Fridays. Now that the ground has been broken, we hope that other purveyors of food downtown will join us. Please watch for announcements and consider joining the fun.

Post 205 sluggers capture state title BILL McLEOD bmcleod@lsj.com

MT. PLEASANT - East Lansing Post 205 pitchers shined in the Palomino League state tournament, not allowing a run in all four games to clinch the state title. “I’ve been talking about our pitching staff all season long, and they backed me up,” Post 205 Coach Bob Gast said. “Looking back, no one ever won the state title without giving up a run.” Gast said it is very difficult to shut out four teams in a row, explaining that a hit followed by a bad bounce on a grounder and suddenly the runner is in scoring position. “It’s so easy to score a run without shelling the pitcher,” he said. “This was quite a feat for us.” As effective as the team’s pitching performance was, Post 205 hitters proved they were up to the task, feasting on their opponents’ pitching. East Lansing scored 39 runs while blanking opponents in the four-game series. Post 205 advanced to the Palomino North Zone regional in Kankakee, Ill., where they face a Minnesota team and two teams from Illinois in the first three games. The winner advances to the semifinal round July 31. Last year Post 205 advanced to the Palomino World Series. It was the fifth time Post 205 has been to the series and Gast is optimistic about making getting there this year. “It’s going to be tough, but we have better pitching than we had last year,” Gast said about getting through the regional. “They know all about us down there (at Kankakee). It’s going to be a battle.”

August 1, 2010

State tournament Post 205 started the state tournament with an easy 21-0 win over Allen Park in the July 21 opener. Albion College junior Chuck DeClarke, a Lansing Catholic graduate, was the winning pitcher, striking out five in four innings. DeWitt’s Trever Bowers came on in relief, shutting out Allen Park in the final two innings. Ryan Joy of St. Johns went 3-for-3 at the plate. B.J. Salazar of Lansing Eastern was 2-for-3. DeClarke had a home run and a double, drove in three runs and scored three times. Tyler Smith of Portland St. Patrick had a solo home run. “Everything we hit found a hole,” Gast said about scoring 21 runs. “Allen Park is a good team, but I think they got shell-shocked after we scored five runs in the first inning. It was one of those things where everything we did worked.” Williamston’s Dylan Monette was the winning pitcher in the second game, besting Walled Lake No. 2 10-0 July 22. He struck out six and allowed just two hits. “It was a stellar performance for Monette, he was on his game,” Gast said. DeClarke had two hits and drove in two runs. Markus Wojtkowicz of Owosso went 2-for-2 with an RBI. Mason’s Allen Manyen hit a two-run double and scored a run. The third game of the tournament was a repeat showdown with the Central Michigan Stars. Post 205 swept the Stars in an early-season doubleheader, but the Stars most recently bested East Lansing 9-5 and 11-5 in a July 13 doubleheader.

Taylor takes over as Redwing tennis coach BILL McLEOD bmcleod@lsj.com

ST. JOHNS - Former Leslie tennis coach Gary Taylor is taking over the St. Johns boys varsity tennis program this fall. Taylor coached for three seasons at Leslie, serving as the girls coach for three years and one year as the boys coach be-

fore the Blackhawks boys merged with Lansing Christian. Taylor replaces Al Werbish, who coached the Redwings for 34 seasons before retiring in 2006. Werbish came out of retirement in 2007 to coach the

DeWitt golfer triumphs in state Publinx Tournament TOM LANG Lansing State Journal

BATTLE CREEK - Russ Cunningham roared back from 3-down over the last five holes, and 2-down in the last three, to win the Michigan Publinx State Match Play Championship July 27 at Bedford Valley Golf Course. Cunningham, 39, of DeWitt, won the morning semifinal 2-and-1 over Eric Spencer of Bloomfield Hills - also in come-from-behind fashion - before defeating Brett Quitiquit of Highland Cunningham in the final. It was Cunningham’s third Michigan Publinx title, the first two coming in 2004 and 2007. He was runner up in 2005. The format is the

same as the Michigan Amateur - two rounds of stroke play to determine 64 match play participants. The tournament began July 23 and he won six matches total. “It seems like in match play, there is a pivotal point where you make a shot, or your opponent doesn’t,” Cunningham said. “I had a pivotal point in every match, but they were more important when I had to come back.” Cunningham said he was trailing Quitiquit 3-down after losing the 13th hole when he failed to get up and down for par. “I finally said to myself, ‘Go hit the ball.’ “ Cunningham then won the 14th hole with a birdie, before taking the last three holes and the 1-up win. “By this time of the year, I’ve gotten a little more golf into my schedule and I have a little more confidence,” he said. “But I am tired.”

boys for the past two seasons. Last year the Redwings finished second in the CAAC Red Division and were fourth at regionals. As the Leslie girls coach, last season Taylor led the Blackhawks to their first state-qualifying season in the school’s history. In three years the girls team finished fourth, second and third in the SMAA. Taylor was also an assistant coach for the Lakewood girls team from 2002 to 2006 while his daughter played for the Vikings. A 1975 graduate of Escanaba High School, Taylor chose golf over tennis while in high school. When he was 25, Taylor joined a recreation league where he learned the finer points of the game. Taylor said he had played a little on his own, and expected to do well because he was younger than most of the players in the league. He found out the older players were able to win because they had more skills. “I learned that consistency was the key and I have taken that into my coaching phi-

losophy,” he said. “It’s the fundamental things; say you have a good player, what can you do to make him just a little bit better on his serves or returns. It’s not all about power (serves). Rather than serving the same way all the time, so eventually the other player gets a grove on the ball, you change the pace of it, you change the spin, you do different things and it’s just enough to keep them off balance.” Taylor expects to keep the winning tradition going at St. Johns. “I tell my players that you play tennis for fun, and it’s a lot more fun when you win,” he said. Taylor is a 1978 graduate of U of M and has a master’s degree in administration from CMU. He earned a master of divinity degree from Ashbury Theological Seminary in 1997. Taylor serves as a chaplain in the Eaton County Jail as part of the Forgotten Man Ministries program.
