Crucible Pits man and woman versus the Great Outdoors
Never forget ... Walk the Talk ... Autumn Sunburn ... Raymond Tucker Cordani rtc@thegrasslaketimes.com
This weekend, legions of hikers will descend upon the wilds outside of Grass Lake. They call it the “crucible,” an endurance race in the far flung environs of 49240. The hike will comprise of 22 miles along the WaterlooPinckney trail. The Crucible isn’t a walk in the park, anymore than it isn’t tip through the tulips. The early autumn event comes with a cause, as well as a cost. Local hikers Juston and Carrie Schotte want to remember the fallen ones—U.S. Military servicemen and service women, who return stateside only to face a crucible that is decidedly different than their tours of active duty. Suicide. The Schottes have organized the rugged hike, 22 miles. “A Self supporting endurance hike to raise money for charity.”The Crucible is a self supported endurance hike to raise money for charity. This year's proceeds will benefit the Semper Fi Fund. Semper Fi Fund provides immediate financial assistance and lifetime support for combat wounded, critically ill and catastrophically injured members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. They deliver the resources they need during recovery and transition back to their communities, working to ensure no one is left behind. The proceeds will be donated to the Semper Fi Fund, which provides financial support for those who have been injured in the endless conflict across the globe, a freedom campaign the likes of which no other military might be able
to withstand, but for the Roman Empire. Eventually the Pax Romano—a long stretch of peace following Northern Marauders looking to pillage and plunder throughout Western Europe. Roman centurions received plots of land after they resigned their commission. Modern day military often receive a lot of red tape. In this century, military members return to the U.S. confused, shell shocked, and groping at a milieu that continues to elude the soldiers, sailors, Airmen, and Marines. Men and women who return to America look for life anew, but some scars don’t heal. The Schottes organized the Crucible to raise awareness and support for men and women in uniform. “We chose 22 miles along the Waterloo-Pinckney trail to represent the average number of veterans lost every day to suicide,” Juston said. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs,more than 5,000 U.S. servicemen and servicewomen in 2018 alone. The list goes on, and currently many of the veterans have been serving since 9/11,18 years this past Wednesday. Not a walk in the park. Endurance hiking is defined as any day hike of at least 20 continuous miles along
backcountry trails. “We chose 22 miles along the WaterlooPinckney Trail to represent the average number of veterans lost every day to suicide,” Juston said. The Schottes have worked for months to make the Crucible a reality. According to the Crucible’s Facebook page, the hike will begin at Green Lake (18500 N M-52, Chelsea, MI 48118), and will end at Big Portage Lake (11700 Seymour Rd., Grass Lake, MI 49240). There will be 12 hours to complete the hike (8:00am8:00pm). Aid stations will be at four to six mile intervals where volunteers will be posted with log books. Participants will be given a tee shirt at the start of the event and will receive a patch if completed within the 12 hour time frame.

100 Years Ago From the Archives 1919 TRANSCONTINENTAL MOTOR CONVOY The Seed of President Dwight Eisenhower's Vision for Our Interstate System One hundred years ago, in what began as the idea of one man, America was shown how motor trucks could transport troops, supplies, arms, and ammunition across the nation. This was known in
1919 as the First Trans-Continental Motor Transport Convoy.
Page 3
Lincoln Highway Association (LHA) officers and the General Staff in Washington held a conference in June 1919 to discuss convoy details. The success of the run was due to the LHA supplying accurate data to the Army as a “result of its years of study of trans-continental highway conditions, and of the co-operation given to the Motor Transport Corps, not only by the Headquarters of the Lincoln Highway Association, but by the consular representatives all along the line between the two coasts. The spirit with which the undertaking was met by the general public and the
highway officials at every point along the route, was also invaluable to the
www.thegrasslaketimes.com
project.” The convoy left from “Zero Milestone” near the south lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C.. A marker stands there yet today to commemorate this historic adventure undertaken by the Army. The convoy left from Washington and caught the Lincoln Highway at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. From the LHA, “The convoy, consisting of 72 vehicles, 65 of which were motor trucks of all types used by the Government during the war, with a personnel of 260 men and 35 officers as statisticians and observers for the various branches of service, under the command of Lt. Col. Charles B. McClure and Capt. Bernard McMahan, and led by Field Secretary and Vice-President H.C. Ostermann of the LHA, in the Association’s Packard, traversed the continent, covering a distance of 3310 miles from Washington to San Francisco, in sixty-two days, arriving only four days behind the schedule laid out in Washington before the start.” A young Lt.Col. Dwight Eisenhower was one of the men on this trip. He caught up with the convoy at the first overnight location in Frederick. Maryland.

Eisenhower found most of the drivers in need of additional training and, as with the rest of the convoy leaders, felt the nation’s roads to be lacking. In the Eastern United States, they were often paved but sometimes too narrow for the large equipment. West of Chicago, roads became graveled. Iowa was lucky because it had not rained which would have turned the unpaved road to “gumbo.” The “Seedling Mile,” a one mile of paved road in Linn County near Cedar Rapids, Marion, and Mount Vernon, was completed just prior to the Convoy. This experience showed that America needed to improve roads and the federal government needed to step in with funding instead of leaving it to the locals and counties to build their own roads. This convoy left a lasting impression on Eisenhower. It inspired him during his political leadership years to bring to reality what we know today as our complex Interstate Super Highway System. He promoted this idea to congress as a necessary part of his defense plan for our country.

Ms Toby
Sometimes our friendliest pets are here for a long time for reasons we never understand; such is the case with Ms. Toby. Ms. Toby came in to CHS for the saddest of reasons: her owner passed away. This 4 ½-year-old cat is definitely a staff favorite. She does want to be queen in whatever home environment she’s in. She’s does not do well with other pets. Ms. Toby is pretty, spayed, current on her vaccines, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV.
Bruno This boy is a charmer. He was found as a stray, so we don’t have any history for him. He’s a super sweet lab mix, probably around 2 years of age, that just loves people. He has been neutered, made current on his vaccines and is microchipped. Bruno is definitely looking for his very own family!
Please note: sometimes animals featured in the newspaper may have been adopted by the time the newspaper reaches the stand, but, at CHS, we always have more! You can check our website for up-todate available pets:www.chspets.org. We’re open 12-6pm, Tuesday through Saturday.

Pay It Forward project
Falling it Forward with #PSL #CAC #PIFP Brenda Cooper Brenda@thegrasslaketimes.com
We are on a roll Grass Lake with our fall themed pay it forward projects! I hope you have been enjoying all this season has to offer so far…. And it’s only the beginning! Every morning the first thing I do is sit down before the sun comes up (my dogs get me up pretty early) and after I take them out to chase bunnies and bark at cranes, I come back inside
and I spend time with God. I have my favorite spot in our living room where I cozy up with my bible and my comfy cozy blanket and I read my daily devotional and I spend time in prayer. For me, it’s important to start my day with God because I can have the best intentions of getting to it throughout my day, but if you are anything like me, once my day gets going, time usually flies right by and I end up losing track of time and then may never get to it. Starting out my day with God gets my day started on the right track and it gives me an opportunity to start my day with a
mindset of thanksgiving and praise for all God has done in my life. During the fall, I love making a warm cup of lovin’ to sip on while I do my devotional. Since I am not a coffee drinker, during the autumn months, I usually stick with warm cider. It’s sooooooo good! I buy a half gallon of my favorite cider and warm it up in a mug and then top it off with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. If I am feeling extra indulgent, I warm up some caramel sauce and pour it over the whipped cream for an extra delicious treat.
I have several friends that love going to Starbucks for their Pumpkin Spice Latte #psl or their Caramel Apple Cider #cac and I thought these fall goodies would make a great pay it forward project #pifp this season! Head to your local Starbucks, Biggby, or our favorite local Roaming Goat Coffee shop and see what seasonal drinks they have and buy one for yourself to enjoy and grab one for your best friend, neighbor, or coworker! What a sweet surprise it will be for them and a nice pay it forward gesture! I hope you enjoy this tasty #psl, #cac, and #pifp this week friends!
Happy Fall and happy “falling it forward”.

Across the Desert Sands and into eternity [Editor’s Note—First of Series] Raymond Tucker Cordani rtc@thegrasslaketimes.com
I WENT INTO ARABIA. To Arabia, yes, but to what part? To Sinai, for to Paul the Apostle, a slave of Christ Jesus by the will of God, Sinai was a mountain in Arabia (Gal 4:25), the source of Revelation. The vision of Jesus that Paul received outside the city of Damascus c. AD 36 is one of the most famous stories in the New and Eternal Covenant. What happened to Paul immediately after he received the Word of God is a great mystery in our Church. The saints of Damascus knew only that Paul fled the city and entered the desert for forty days and forty nights and that he preached to the Nabataeans, “a savage and barbarous people,” but their king, Aretas Philopatris IV, wanted to kill Paul. Through the
Page 5
intercession of the prophets Moses and Elijah, Paul took the desert road back to Damascus and there he made the most important decision of his life: to resign his commission as the lead prosecutor sent to kill Christians by the order of the high priest Caiaphas and to accept God’s calling to become the Ambassador for Christ. Of Paul in the Acts of the Apostles it is written: “At once he began to proclaim Christ crucified and risen in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. And all who heard him were astonished.”

Governor Whitmer Signs Executive Directive Expanding Recycling Within State Government
LANSING, Mich. – This week Governor Whitmer signed an executive directive that will improve and expand recycling efforts within the State of Michigan. “When we implement more sustainable practices like recycling in state government, we can create jobs, combat climate change, and protect public health,” said Governor Whitmer. “This executive directive will help us solidify our state as a bold leader in sustainability and environmental protection.” Over recent years, the State of Michigan has made an effort to establish a plan for tracking and improving recycling and waste management practices in state facilities. These efforts have increased the number of materials recycled by the state, grew the state's recycling and waste management data, and produced a framework for state agencies to meet their individualized recycling needs. Executive Directive No. 2019-16 expands recycling initiatives that are both robust and intuitive.
toll-free 844.GLTIMES
The Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) will coordinate, monitor, and report on the implementation of this directive and the state’s recycling program. DTMB along with the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, (EGLE) will review the current status of the state’s recycling program and identify and develop policies and procedures to expand and improve upon the program and its utilization by state employees. Additionally, DTMB and EGLE will be launching a comprehensive education campaign for state employees on recycling. This campaign will focus on the “how” and “why” of recycling is broadly accessible.
