Mega-marathon runners Clinton County road official puts on miles Dawn Parker

he idea of running for 11 to 12 hours in a race up steep hills and over winding trails — for a distance equivalent to a double marathon — would be unthinkable for most people, But Joe and Linda Pulver, both well known in local runner circles, are unlike most people. Joe is the managing director of the Clinton County Road Commission, and Linda works for a financial services firm in East Lansing. The couple traveled to Reichweiler in central Germany in late May for the 53-mile (85-kilometer) Keufelskopf Ultra-Trail Marathon. Their memories of the huge physical challenge are vivid. Linda was the first female finisher, coming in 15th overall in 10 hours, 33 minutes. Joe placed 47th overall in 11 hours 44 minutes for the 85 kilometer course. The couple went to Germany at the invitation of their friend Michael Becker, whose home village was the setting for the race. “He told us, ‘Come home with me, see Germany and run this race’,” Joe Pulver recalled. In addition to Becker – now an East Lansing resident who finished fourth overall – the American contingent included East Lansing resident Abby Eaton, who tied Joe for 47th overall in 11 hours 44 minutes. Lansing resident Dillon McCormick was 58th in 12 hours and two minutes. They arrived four days before the race, and a tour of a portion of

Movie-maker wants to tell St. Johns story Sue Lounds slounds@lsj.com

ST. JOHNS – Sam Coffman grew up in St. Johns , but over the past 20 years, his interest in the arts has taken him far from his local roots. Since graduating from St. Johns High School in 1991 he has spent time in Kalamazoo, Chicago, North Carolina, Japan, San Diego and Los Angeles pursuing a career in music or acting. Most recently he has been working on the other

the race course was intimidating. Linda Pulver recalled hiking a 5K section of the course that involved going straight up and scrambling hand over hand, followed by long down-hills where competitors could run only with small steps. “I told Michael, ‘What did you get us into?’” Joe Pulver said with a laugh. Both Pulvers felt short-lived case of the jitters as they approached the starting line. “When you travel that far for

a race, you have to make sure you can finish,” Linda Pulver said. “I’ve never not finished a race, and I didn’t want this to be that one.” “I think it really went better than I expected and better than Linda expected. I think we were very strong at the end,” Joe Pulver added.

Blood drive planned for July 30 in DeWitt LANSING — As the nation’s blood supply continues to be strained, the American Red Cross is encouraging all eligible donors to make donating blood a part of their summer plans.

4:42 p.m. A snorkeler who was watching nearby was able to retrieve Loburg within minutes and attempted CPR once he was pulled on shore, Kangas said. Loburg was transported to Sparrow Clinton Hospital in St. Johns where he was pronounced dead. It’s the first drowning ever reported at Motz Park, which opened last year, and the first in the county this year, Kangas said. Loburg is the sixth mid-Michigan drowning since June. On June 4, a 14-year-old boy drowned at Holt’s Valhalla Park; a 2-year-old died after falling into a pool in DeWitt Township June 6; a 28-year-old Holt man died after falling into the Grand River June 8 and a 60-year-old Grand Ledge man died June 11 after police believe he suffered a heart attack while fishing in the Grand River. An 8-yearold Lansing girl died June 19, a day after being pulled from a Barry County lake, and most recently, a 21-yearold Okemos man who suffered from epilepsy drowned July 9 in a Pennsylvania lake.

nash, Madison Amara Cook, Chelsea Fisher, Haley Griffith, Trista Malek and Madison Kay Olson.

In a heartbeat, Linda Pulver said. “I very much enjoyed the culture, the hospitality and just the environment,” Joe Pulver added. “It’s so much different than it is here.” The couple started a serious training regimen through Team Playmakers in Okemos, and has steadily increased their road time to as much as 50 to 70 miles per week. Joe ran his first marathon in 2002, and Linda followed six months later. “I always ran, off and on, a few miles at a time to keep in shape,” Joe said. While in Washington,

Bullwhip honors memory of Pilmore July 27 ST. JOHNS — Lots of their fans will cheer their approval and sing along to country tunes when Bullwhip takes the stage July 27 at the St. Johns City Park Performance Shell, as will an invisible music lover - Kaye Pilmore. The entire 2011 Concert in the Park summer music series is dedicated to the memory of the vibrant lady whose passion for the arts in all its shapes and forms helped inspire countless individuals to follow their artistic dreams. The founding member of the Clinton County Arts Council in 1981 and direc-

tor of the CCAC Gallery for more than 20 years passed away in January. As was the case in the formation of the Arts Council, Kaye was among a few visionaries who saw potential in a performing venue at the St. Johns City Park. She and others helped guide the planning process that resulted in construction of the “new” Performance Shell in 2005 that replaced the dated band shell at the park. Thousands of people who enjoy music during the summer months have Kaye and other art-friendly folks to thank for those lovely

sounds - all free for everyone to hear. Bullwhip’s performance date is dedicated especially to Kaye, and the up-andcoming band is certainly eager to make music in honor of the lady who helped make the summer series happen. The highly energetic, five-piece country band has been bringing its brand of line-dancin’, toetappin’, two-steppin’, floorfillin’ Top 40 Country music to venues across mid-Michigan for the past three years. Band members include St. Johns native Jeff Dietrich on drums; Matt Foreman from Williamston on guitar and singing along with lead vocalist Ariel Dixon from South Lyon; Steve Foreman from Leslie on bass and vocals; and Jim Lill from Portland on lead guitar and vocals. Bullwhip has the pleasure of opening for national recording artists Steel Magnolia this summer. The band has performed at numerous events including the Grand Rapids Devos Children’s Hospital Motorcycle Ride. The band will be back on the club circuit this fall.

Concert in the Park is sponsored by the Clinton County Arts Council and the city of St. Johns, with support from the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts. The free concerts

are held each Wednesday evening, beginning at 7 p.m., in the beautiful outdoor concert venue at the St. Johns City Park, located near Park and Morton streets. The St. Johns Lions and Lioness Club staff a concession stand each week

that offers light refreshments. All concerts are held rain or shine. For information on Concert in the Park call the Clinton County Arts Council, (989) 224-2429.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dedication of grave marker a success A very heartfelt thank you to all who helped make a success of and came to witness the Sunday, June 26, 2011 dedication of the new grave marker for Abigail Corbin Peck, only known female Revolutionary War patriot buried in Clinton County (Boughton Cemetery, Riley Township). My sincere appreciation in particular to the River Wabwaysin chapter NSDAR, the Clinton County Historical Society, their members and to Deb R for generously donating the funds necessary to buy the new gravestone; Alice at Bouchey Monuments; Glenn Gierland and Corky Chamberlain with the local Cemetery Restoration committee; Lee Chant and the Riley Township board; Myrna VanEpps at the CCHS archives, Dorothy Rosekrans and Joan Sloyer, Diane Carlson, Chaplain Donald Zimmerman, Rowlan and LaRene Smith, Ron Matson and Kim Purkey. Lynne Gregory,St. Johns

Were teachers asked for concessions? In the last few months, has anyone noticed how many area school boards were able to ask and convince their district employee’s unions to agree to concessions in an attempt to balance their school’s budgets? Haslett Schools asked and received cooperation from their unions to help balance their budget. Lansing School district did as well. So did Ovid-Elsie. In Ovid-Elsie, MESSA (a subsidiary of the MEA teacher’s union) had been the teacher’s health insurance provider for decades. The school district was able to provide basically the same coverage through another provider, at a much lower cost. So they did. Even the teacher’s association president (and teacher) Doug Long, quoted in the Argus Press of June 27, said “It was the best thing to do, it was obvious we were saving the school a ton of money.”* At the special informational meeting the St. Johns Board of Education held on June 6, 2011, the public was told that the board had already made many cuts to the

budget, yet the St. Johns School District still provides the very expensive MESSA plan for teachers. I hope that the next time the school board negotiates with the St. Johns Education Association and the other unions, it will get serious in their talks and address these and other overpriced plans. The board might consider actually demanding some concessions. The unions surely know how to make demands. If concessions had been asked for and agreed to earlier this year from the unions, teacher layoffs might not have been necessary. It’s called reopening a contract. It could have saved the jobs of some of the newest, most ambitious teachers, and probably even allowed more money to go into the classroom. Were the unions ever asked? If so, what was their reply? David J. Smith, St. Johns

Kiwanis Club for the peanuts. The guys and gals will really enjoy them. We also want to thank Postal Connections and St. Johns Florist and Greenhouse for their support by giving out the yellow ribbons. This really means a lot to them. We ask you to take a photo of your yellow ribbon and post your photo on Facebook if you can. A lot of the soldiers use Facebook and will be able to see firsthand all the people back home supporting them while they are deployed. It really does mean a lot to them all. A special thanks for everyone that took July 9 off from their busy schedules by coming out and helping to smoke up the jerky. It took about nine hours using four smokers. Thanks again for all the help and support for Mitchell and the 1775th and all the men and women serving our county to keep us safe back here in the United States. God Bless them all.

Thanks for supporting the 1775th Friends and family of Mitchell Sabin worked together July 9 to cook up more than 40 pounds of venison and make it into jerky for Sabin and the 1775th soldiers now serving in Afghanistan. Also to our surprise, the Kiwanis Club of St. Johns donated 100 bags of roasted peanuts to send along with the jerky. We started this all with Postal Connections and St. Johns Florist and Greenhouse giving out free yellow ribbon for anyone that wanted to show their support for Mitchell and any soldier that was serving in the military. We only asked if people wanted to leave a dollar or two to help cover the cost of the shipping the jerky overseas. It worked out really well and we should have enough to do this. My wife, Kathy Sabin, was in Kroger and on her way out, a gentleman had seen all the supplies she was picking up for making jerky and asked her what she was doing. Kathy informed him that we were making jerky for Mitchell and the 1775th soldiers overseas. He then donated a full box of 100 bags of roasted peanuts to send along with the jerky. She did not ask his name, but we really want to thank him and the St. Johns

Clinton Transit does it again. Four years running, Clinton Transit has placed as the No. 1 Team in the annual Small Bus Roadeo State Finals held in Mt. Pleasant on July 15. Pete Soliz was named Rookie of the Year. Dan Miller was the state’s First Place driver out of 40 competitors from around the state. Dan will be going to the National Finals in Baltimore, Md. Drivers are scored on many factors from driving an obstacle course, to taking a written test, pre-inspecting a bus and performing wheelchair securement. The competition tests driver skills that are commonly used while transporting passengers.

State office of Great Start created quietly Quietly and without much fanfare, Gov. Rick Snyder signed an executive order recently creating an Office of Great Start within the Michigan Department of Education. GREAT This new office will work with MichSTART igan’s Early Childhood Investment Corporation, which operates the Great Start Karen Black system, to ensure that more children are “school ready” when they arrive in kindergarten. This is very good news for Michigan. Early childhood development is fundamental to creating great kids, and great kids are fundamental to creating a new version of the Michigan we all know and remember – a Michigan that is economically vibrant and a place where businesses and families move to rather than away from. Economist James Heckman, the Nobel Laureate from the University of Chicago, offers a formula for understanding why things like prenatal care, preschool, quality child care and more are economically important.

The “Heckman Equation,” as he calls it, says if we invest in educational and developmental resources for disadvantaged families that develop cognitive skills, social skills, and physical well-being in children early from birth to age five, when it matters most – and sustain that early leg-up with effective education through adulthood, we gain more capable, productive and valuable citizens who pay dividends to America for generations to come. Gov. Snyder is a pragmatic, results-driven person. His vision of a cradle-to-adulthood education system isn’t based on flight or fancy. It’s based on data. As Professor Heckman said in a letter to the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Reform, “Data from economists, social scientists and medical experts conclusively shows that the answer is to invest in comprehensive early childhood development—from birth to age five—particularly in disadvantaged children and their families.”

Sleepy Hollow offers activities

Michigan’s Office of Great Start is certainly a step in the right direction. The office will combine and coordinate early childhood programs and resources that currently are scattered across multiple state departments. The office will also work closely with the Early Childhood Investment Corporation to create, as the governor said earlier this year, “a dynamic partnership aimed at maximizing public and private investment in the service of Michigan’s children.” A major part of that partnership will continue to be Michigan’s Great Start Collaboratives, which operate in every county and are making tremendous strides toward building local early childhood systems starting with a painstakingly built assessment of community needs and assets. What is exciting about the Office of Great Start is that in time – and with continued legislative support - we just might be able to see state resources go to communities to make those plans real. If so, we’ll move from making incremental progress on school readiness in Michigan to leaps. That will be wonderful news for Michigan and its future. Karen Black is the Clinton County Great Start Director

are St. Johns specific.” To achieve his goal, he needs a lot of stories and people to get involved. “I am hoping people will email me so I can meet with them and film them telling stories they want to share,” he said. Coffman plans to film the interviews and story-telling, then weave the clips into a full-length film. He says he isn’t entirely sure what the final product will look like. “It may turn into something with fiction in it, or it may turn into a documentary,” he said, “or it may be a combination of both. I don’t really know how it will turn out, and that is all right.” Because human-interest stories are usually part of documentary-style films, Coffman is looking for stories about St. Johns in general, but also for stories that have something to do with him, or his parents - Dale and Patsy Coffman - or maybe even his brother Adam Coffman

to make it to the big screen, and he is using equipment that will make it possible. “I shoot in 1080p HD at 24 frames a second,” said Coffman, “which means the pieces of filmed work can go directly to the big screen without losing any visual definition.” Coffman’s love affair with

a means for people to hear other songs of his. He is currently writing two original fictional screenplays with two other St. Johns High School alumni.One is a futuristic, science fiction piece and the other includes ancient, mythical creatures juxtaposed with the present day - and is also political, he says. Coffman says he won’t be in St. Johns for long. He just returned from more than two years in Japan. And yes, he was there during the earthquake and subsequent disasters. He says he came back to Michigan to recover from reverse culture shock, and to get “my English back.” “I’ll be moving back to California soon to get acting work to hopefully fund all this art-making,” he said. Coffman has studied comedic and method acting, at The Second City and The Lee Strasberg Institute of Theatre and Film. “Acting will hopefully serve as a means to an end - which is really cultural exchange through creating and sharing art globally with individuals, groups and communities.”

acting became solidified in St. Johns High School’s theatrical productions. His acting experiences often include music - he is also a singer/songwriter/ arranger, and a drummer. “I’ve been torn between music and acting for a long time,” says Coffman. Evidence of some of his past work in music is available on youtube. “People can go to www.youtube.com/sayonarawhite to see two rock videos I shot and edited in Japan,” he said. “A new rock video of mine, filmed in Japan, is coming very soon to that youtube channel.” Or go to www.youtube.com/ classlesstheband and see some live music videos of a different one of his bands, that were also filmed while he was in Japan. Another option is www.myspace/ samcoffman to hear other original music he has made over the last five years. And while he is doing his Americana/St. Johns video, Coffman is also working on treatments for two books and one short story. He is also shooting two rock videos in Michigan to serve as

ST. JOHNS — The Community-Based Dental Center, located inside the MidMichigan District Health Department in St. Johns, has been providing quality dental care to Medicaid-eligible adults residing in Clinton and Gratiot counties since April 2007. Due to the generous support from several community partners in Clinton and Gratiot counties, the health department is pleased to announce an expansion of the clinic will begin this month and should be completed by Sept. 1. The expansion will give even more Medicaid-eligible residents a reason to smile. Community partners that provided financial support for the project include: • Capital Area Community Services • Capital Area United Way • Gratiot Co. Community Foundation • Gratiot County United Way • Koenigsknecht Family Dentistry • St. Johns Rotary • Sparrow Clinton Hospital Prior to the clinic’s opening in 2007, essentially all Medicaid-eligible adults residing in the two counties had tremendous difficulty accessing dental services. At that time, very few dentists were accepting adult patients on Medicaid. While health department officials knew there was a need for the clinic, they quickly realized just how great that need was as staff began treating patients. It became quite clear the three chair clinic, which was open two days a week, would need to be expanded at some point. MMDHD began working over a year and a half ago to secure community fund-

ing to expand the clinic from its current configuration to five chairs operating five days per week. “It is exciting to have the project officially underway,” said Kimberly Singh, MMDHD Health Officer. “We are pleased that the expansion will increase capacity from 1,060 dental visits annually to 6,750 visits. This will improve access to dental services significantly.” In addition, MMDHD is pleased to announce that the clinic will now be run in partnership with Michigan Community Dental Clinics, Inc. Michigan Community Dental Clinics, Inc. operates 17 public dental clinics across Michigan, one of which is MMDHD’s former Stanton Dental Care Center, now the Montcalm Area Dental Clinic in Sidney. MCDC has a proven track record of providing dental services to low-income, uninsured, and atrisk populations in areas that have a shortage of providers. The Montcalm Area Dental Center is now thriving under MCDC’s direction and is serving more clients than ever before. The health department has every reason to believe MCDC would have the same positive effect on the Community-Based Dental Clinic in St. Johns. “The expansion will increase the number of residents served from 470 to approximately 3,000 annually,” said Singh. “It will also result in a clinic that has enhanced long-term financial viability, thus making it less dependent on financial support from the community that has been required the first three years of operation.” Mid-Michigan District Health Department

owler Knights of Columbus have chosen the family of Brian and Agnes Koenigsknecht as their 2010-2011 Family of the Year. Brian and Agnes own a small farm near Fowler. Brian has been a K of C member since 1979, and has always been an active member of the council, helping with many projects over the years. Some of the bigger projects he has assisted include Lenten fish fries, Clergy Appreciation Night, and the K of C Can Returns for Vocation fundraiser, which supports the Seminarians studying for the Catholic priesthood. Brian is also a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters and has served on the Most Holy Trinity

School Dinner Raffle committee. Agnes is a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, as well as the Christian Mothers Association, serving as their secretary and the coordinator of various circles. Agnes has helped Brian on some K of C projects and many other projects for Most Holy Trinity Parish including Lenten fish dinners, funeral dinners, and the Returns for Vocation fundraiser can drive, and has served on the Most Holy Trinity School Dinner Raffle committee. Brian and Agnes are celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary this year and are the proud parents of ten children, all of which help out on their farm, and they have two grandchildren.

Brad (Carman) is their oldest. Angela (Jerome) is a Eucharistic minister and they have two children, Anthony and Veronica. Jarud (Brittany) is a member of the K of C and a lector for Most Holy Trinity. Todd is a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters and K of C, and has served as the treasurer for the K of C College Council at the University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minn. Gary is a member of the K of C and Catholic Order of Foresters. Laura is a Eucharistic minister and is a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, and has helped with the Lenten fish fries. Sharon is a Eucharistic minister, member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, and is a past youth group leader. Lee, Dean,

and Randy are all altar servers, members of the Catholic Order of Foresters and the youth group. Faith isn’t just talked about in this family, it is lived. Todd and Gary are both well into their Seminarian’s vocation studies of becoming Catholic priests. The whole family chips in to help with the can return project. Not only do the Koenigsknecht’s offer their time to this can drive, they offer their house, garage, and several other buildings. They have a system developed to make collection day go quickly and smoothly, as thousands of cans and bottles are delivered to the homestead. The Koenigsknecht family is very active in the council, parish and the

ST. JOHNS - The volunteer staff at the Paine-Gillam-Scott Museum Complex are very excited about the newest addition to their collection of antique farm machinery. A “Farmers Cement Tile Machine,” also known as “The Ideal Cement Tile Machine” was recently donated by Mr. and Mrs. Ron Hoffman of Zeeland. Manufactured in St. Johns by Richmond & Holmes, the Ideal Cement Tile Machine made its debut in the farming community in 1909. L.R. Peck of St. Johns invented the machine, with the assistance of Richmond & Holmes, and applied for a patent in 1906. The machine produced cement tiles in four sizes: three, four, six, and eight inches. These tiles assisted in the drainage of

water on farmland. Richmond & Holmes boasted, it “makes a better and more perfect tile than the ordinary clay tile, and at less than half the cost.” The Ideal Cement Tile Machine was quite popular and was marketed nationwide. In 1910, it began being manufactured in Canada. This piece of St. Johns history may be viewed at the Paine-Gillam-Scott Museum Complex, 106 Maple St. The Museum is open on Wednesdays from 2-7 p.m. and on Sundays from 1-4 p.m. The suggested donations are $2 for adults, $1 for children, and $5 for families. The information in this article and more may be found in The Old Machine Shop and the Ashery that Preceded It, by Ron Matson.
