Grass Lake Girl Aspires to Obtain Eagle Scout Status

Pioneering ... Glass Ceiling—shattered ... Soccer boot camp... Raymond Tucker Cordani rtc@thegrasslaketimes.com

It’s not easy to become an Eagle Scout. Harder so, is when the Eagle Scout happens to be a female in the BSA. Not so for Samantha Kohls, who is on track to become Jackson’s first Eagle Scout in two years. The coveted designation can often take years—sometimes as many as seven or eight years. A senior at Grass Lake High School, she attained her Star rank this month in a ceremony at Jackson’s First Presbyterian Church, as reported by MLive. Kohls, 17, was among the first girls to join the Boy Scouts of America when it opened its doors to girls last February the first renaming itself “Scouts BSA.” The repackaged organization states that Star rank qualifications include, earning at least six merit badges, holding multiple leadership positions, and passing a review board. High handed, to be sure. The ambitious girl is clearly up to the challenge. “I was nervous about what people were going to think,” she says. “I plowed ahead and followed my goal.” Her mother went so far as to say that some local community members gave Samantha “a lot of flack.” “She has a positive outlook on life,” says Kim who serves as “second in command of Troop 312. Kohls plans to earn the Life rank in about six months and then reach Eagle status six months after that, while many of her male peers started the process in middle school. One of her close friends, Ben Fowler, whose father Dennis is the scoutmaster for Troop 312, is already a Life Scout. “We all hang out and we’re all an extended family,” Denis Fowler said. “If we need to go on an extended hike for some qualification, we’ll do it together.” Kohls is focused and on schedule by mapping out a balanced schedule with her mother. “This includes, school, soccer, cheer, and scouts,” Samantha says. She is driven to success— lays out a schedule to fulfill her initiative and get things done. Proactive, one could say. After high school, Kohls plans to play soccer in college, and is looking at Indiana, Indiana Tech, as a matter of fact. Spring Arbor University, as well.

When the Boy Scouts announced the change to admit girls in their program in February, people affiliated with the Scouts received angry emails and messages. Further backlash came from the Girl Scouts of the United States, sued Scouts BSA for trademark infringement. That isn’t the scouts I grew up in.

Mad Men with a knapsack and a an aluminum canteen. What Samantha’s mother said was true. Comments on the web were not kind, throwing stones. “I’m no fan of the Boy Scouts rebranding and diversification of the genders,” said one whose name wasn’t named. “It was 100% as a

Samantha was a Girl Scout until sixth grade, saying that she preferred the survival skill training of the Scouts BSA to the “arts and craft” focus of the Girl Scouts. She became the first member— male or female— of Jackson’s Venturing Crew at the age of 14. In the Scouts BSA universe, this was the oldest group that allowed for a co-ed enrollment. A lot of thought preceded Samantha’s decision to work toward the Eagle Scout;she was initially hesitant due to the backlash toward female scouts. One might imagine the difficulties inherit to the merger, especially when the twain failed to connect.

result of falling numbers in membership. Don’t let anyone tell you different.” Bitter boots. The hobgoblins of little minds. “So, she makes no news as a Girl Scout but now as a Boy Scout it’s newsworthy?” “Congrats. Way to break the glass ceiling.” None of this brouhaha hasn’t shaken Samantha’s faith and love for scouting. And she is forward thinking: She also works with middle school girls on their Eagle Scout ranks, saying that it is trying to set the path for younger girls.

Pure Homiletics: HISTORICAL INTERSECTION Raymond Tucker Cordani rtc@thegrasslaketimes.com John the Baptist was dead. Herod Antipas executed him to mollify Herodias, his second wife, who demanded that the king deliver to her the prophet’s head on a platter. An ugly night fueled by too much wine and lewd dancing provoked Antipas into a moment of weakness and he gave into the will of the beastly Herodias through her daughter, Salome, whom Antipas desired. This is well documented in the scriptures (Mk 6:22-29; Lv 18:16; Est 5:3) and displays the truth of human treachery. Saint Mark attributes John’s death to the rage of Herodias on account of his accusation against her illicit marriage to Antipas, whereas the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus traces the conflict to a political threat posed by John’s popularity. Herodias’s initial inability to silence John was attributed to Antipas’s peculiar fascination with him, for “when he heard him speak he was very much perplexed, yet he liked to listen to him� (Mk 6:20). Who didn’t? John was impossible to ignore. Herodias, the granddaughter of Herod the Great, gained notoriety for the sordid scheme by which she secured the death of the Baptist. She had the entire scenario planned out and the gospel places the blame on her for goading Herod into making his foolish promise, for to the girl, his stepdaughter Salome, he said, “Ask of me whatever you wish and I will grant it to you.� He swore an oath affirmed by the guests. “I will grant you whatever you ask of me, even unto half of my kingdom.�

Herodias’s evil intent was consummated. Would that she could have delighted in the place she earned for herself in history. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. The marriage of Antipas and Herodias outraged pious Jews in the region for it broke the Law of Moses on two counts. First, the law forbade a man to marry his brother’s wife (if the brother was still alive), and second, the law did not permit a man to marry his niece and Antipas was Herodias’s uncle. The holiness code in the Book of Leviticus states, “You shall not have intercourse with your brother’s wife, for that would disgrace your brother�(18:16). Herod submitted to his disordered passions and disregarded the lawn. It was the violation of this law that aroused the indignation of John against Herod Antipas and Herodias who was the wife of Herod’s brother Philip (Mk 6:17). John fearlessly condemned their adulterous union heedless of the condemnation it brought upon himself. So when he appeared along the banks of the Jordan River decrying the marriage, Antipas arrested the preacher and held him at Machaerus, one of the fortresspalaces built by Herod the Great his father, to silence the cries of John, who said, “It is unlawful for you to have your brother’s wife!� There was an exception to the law. It was known as the levirite marriage, and it was spelled out in the Book of Deuteronomy. “When brothers live together and one of them dies without a son, the widow of the deceased shall not marry outside the family; but her husband’s brother shall go to her and perform the responsibility of a brother-in-law by

marrying her (Dt 25:5). Life is full of curveballs as such. Herodias had born Philip no son but she did have a daughter, Salome, whose father Philip was still alive. When relatives of the same clan, though married, held property in common, it was only in this case that the present law was to be observed. Such a marriage of a widow to her brother-in-law was known as a levirite marriage, from the Latin word levir, meaning “a husband’s brother.â€? The Levirite Law was practiced among the Semitic peoples from patriarchal times. Its purpose was to avoid any branch of the family from becoming extinct—something that was regarded as disgraceful. The cunning question that the Sadducees put to Jesus in connection with this law— the hypothetical case of a woman who married seven brothers who all died (Mt 22:23-33)ď‚žshows that this law was still in force in our Lord’s time. Jesus saw the bigger picture from an eternal perspective, as he would have, being the Son of God. The Sadducees argued against the resurrection of the dead on the basis of the levirate law, which laid down that when a man died without progeny, one of his brothers, according to the fixed orders, should marry his widow and the first son of that union be given the dead brother’s name. By outlining the extreme case the Sadducees made the law and belief in the resurrection look spurious, for they did not believe in the resurrection. In his reply Jesus displayed the frivolity of their objections and asserts the truth about the resurrection. He explained that the soul transcends the human condition and that the institution of marriage did not exist in

heaven. There was no need for nuptials in the blissful eternity of heaven. The primary aim of marriage—the good of the spouses and the begetting of children— no longer applied once immortality was obtained for there was no need for the procreation of the human race. The soul enjoyed an eternal by being completely possessed by God, a union superior to marriage. Saint Paul wrote to the Corinthian church leaders regarding a case of an incestuous marriage—a man living with his father’s wife. “You are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord. Purge the evil person from your midst� (1 Cor 5:5, 13b). Ouch. Membership has its privileges. The church’s judgment existed on a higher plane than that of human understanding because the church’s authority derives from Christ himself. Whatever is bound on earth is to be bound in heaven (Mt 16:19; 28:28). Jesus took the institution of marriage as seriously as did John and Paul did too. To marry Herodias Antipas divorced his wife, the daughter of the Nabataean king of Arabia, Aretas Philopatris IV (d. AD 40). In AD 36—10 years after the divorce—Aretas invaded Herod’s territory to avenge his daughter, and inflicted such a crushing defeat on Antipas that he was forced to ask for assistance from the Romans.

100 Years Ago From the Archives Woodrow Wilson

following year, when Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare and the existence of the Zimmerman Telegram was disclosed, he changed his earlier stance on entering the war and asked the Senate to declare war on Germany, taking the country into the final stages of World War I.

US President Woodrow Wilson suffers a breakdown in Colorado, his health never recovers A progressive politician, Woodrow Wilson became President of Princeton University in 1902, Governor of New Jersey in 1910 and was nominated for President by the Democratic Party in 1912.

After the Allied victory he was instrumental in negotiating the Treaty of Versailles and establishing the League of Nations. Wilson had first put forward the idea of a League as part of his 'Fourteen Points' speech in a Senate address. In 1919 he won the Nobel Peace Prize. The same year he suffered a severe stroke which left his power and influence diminished, and the Treaty of Versailles was eventually rejected by the Senate. He lost a bid to be re-nominated at the Democratic National Convention and left office in 1921, before dying in 1924.

Wilson was born December 28, 1856 in Staunton City, Virginia, and died of a stroke on February 3, 1924 at the age of 67. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States where he served two terms, April 3, 1913 until April 3, 1921. His first saw the introduction of progressive legislation that would be unseen in scale until Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal in the 1930s. This legislation included the Federal Reserve Act, the Underwood Revenue Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act and child labor laws.

Pay It Forward project Pastor Appreciation Month Brenda Cooper Brenda@thegrasslaketimes.com

Last week we paid it forward by sharing fall drinks with others through what I am calling our “fall it forward” projects! It’s autumn and soon we will have the visual splendor of trees changing colors and leaves crunching under our feet as we move into October! Did you know that October has a few great National Days just around the corner like “National Homemade Cookies

Day” (10/1), “National Do Something Nice Day” (10/5), and “National Farmer’s Day” (10/12). October is also “National Pastor Appreciation Month”! I have volunteered in ministry for the past few decades and it is a very rewarding act of service and a lot of hard work. Pastors shepherd God’s flock and offer spiritual guidance, wisdom, and love as they help us navigate all life has to offer. If you have a wonderful pastor at your church consider yourself lucky and blessed!

or give them a gift card to their favorite restaurant.

For this week’s “fall it forward” project, let’s do something kind for our pastors! My husband and I are blessed to have wonderful pastors that guide us and a great church that we call home and I hope you have that, too! Some things you can do to show appreciation for your pastor are things like: Invite them over for dinner, bake them homemade cookies,

Pastors often give of themselves so much and they are always thinking of other people and giving back to them so this pay it forward project is just in time for Pastor Appreciation

Another great way to “fall it forward” to your pastor is by acts of service. You can mow their lawn or rake their leaves for them. You can offer to babysit their kids so they can enjoy a night out in Ann Arbor or Jackson. Or you can use a skill you have to serve them (painting, mechanic work, electrical work, etc).

Month! I hope you get your family involved and show your pastor(s) how much you love and appreciate them!

Happy “falling it forward” friends!

Grass lake Warriors Sports update Homecoming Victory – Warriors Down Comets 52-13 Played on 9/20/2019 7:00 PM

In front of another great homecoming crowd, the Warrior football team took on the Comets from Hanover-Horton in a Cascades conference matchup.

The Warrior Offense racked up 482 yards of total offense on the night. Trenton Holden rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns while Shane Holcomb chipped in 80 yards on the ground and added a rushing touchdown of his own. Through the air, Carson Farley passed for 276 yards and four touchdowns. Carson Canning led the Warrior receiving corps with seven catches for 102 yards and two touchdown receptions. Winston Higgins had 3 catches on the night for 60 yards and a touchdown while sophomore Kasen Gray contributed 4 catches for 94

yards and his first career touchdown. The Warrior Defense was stout again keeping the high powered Comet rushing attack at bay save for one long run for a touchdown in the first quarter, ending a streak of ten consecutive quarters of not allowing a point. Playing outstanding team defense, the Warriors sacked the Hanover quarterback four times, keeping the Comets on their own side of the 50 yard line for much of the night. Gage Lee finished the night with 10 tackles including 2 sacks. Trenton Holden, Cameron Darrow and Shane Holcomb each finished the night with 7 tackles a piece with Holden adding 2 sacks. The kicking game was solid again. Brett Sherwood was never asked to punt but did convert on all 7 extra point tries and connected on a career best 40 yard field goal in the second quarter. The Warriors will host Michigan Center for the annual Relay For Life game Friday at the Joe Bechtel Athletic Complex. Kickoff is at 7:00. Wear purple, and See You At The Game! By Anthony Cole

Family Worship Center concludes its Fresh Food Fresh Initiative Ken Humhan of Napoleon is a first timer this year. “I’m here for the watermelon,” he said. The popular summer long event draws many from Grass Lake and Beyond. Pastor James Bryde pitched in also, sorting out corn beneath the pines on the church property. Beginning in July, the church invites residents to gather wholesome foods. The fresh food initiative exists to hold fast with Matthew 25, the Lord’s mandate for the corporal work of

mercy—feeding the anawim, clothing them, and providing basic life from eternal life.

Special youth duck hunt This weekend was a special youth duck hunt. Up to age 16. They got a snow goose, which is a very rare goose in the Grass Lake area. Common in other flyways but rare in Michigan. Many floating shell cases felt the wrath of 6 BB gun packing kids. Good day and a lot of fun! Dad Carl (old), Caleb 13, Garrett 16, Grant 16.
