Pastor Pam Hoffman first encountered Jesus Christ as a

junior in high school through the ministry of Youth for

Christ. Growing up in Peoria, she studied journalism at

Bradley University and worked for several years as a re-

porter in radio and newspapers in Illinois and West Virginia.

She was led to seminary as the result of a growing desire

to know God and the scriptures better, receiving degrees

from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamil-

ton, MA and Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, KY.

Her experience in seminary awakened a call to preach and

teach.

In addition to preaching, Pam has a passion for worship

and for providing people with opportunities to deepen their

relationship with Jesus through prayer, scripture and soli-

tude. She also is gifted at organization and administration.

In her free time, she loves the outdoors, loves to play golf,

read good books and play guitar,

Her family includes her parents and brother, all living in

southern Florida, as well as a cat who lives with her.

VBS 2011 “Son Harvest County Fair” was a great success

thanks to the hard work and co-operation of five of our com-

munity churches! We served an average of 60 children each

night and had 25-35 student and adult volunteers each night

as well. The children‟s Mission Project was local Ashland-Plains

Ministerial Association. A total of $337 was raised to be avail-

able for local needs. It takes a huge team effort to accomplish

such a project as our annual VBS, and that we had!

Volunteers came from First Baptist, United Methodist,

Church of Christ, Berea Christian, and St. Augustine Catholic

Church. If you helped in any way from preparing and serving

meals or snacks, helping with games, crafts or “Crews”, or

provided your time, your money, your recycled items or other

supplies, and most of all your prayers, please know that you

are greatly appreciated!! So many said to me “I can‟t do

much”…….but everything matters!!

Special thanks to the following that without their hard work

the program would not have happened: Co-Directors Saman-

tha Boston & Diane Nichel, Glenda & Bill Schleyhan and Mindy

Gilbreth for amazing crafts, Heather Hays and recreation crew

(including the “Carnies”-Norm, Bill, Paul & Gerald) for our Car-

nival. Special Thanks to Wanda Schutz for sewing vests for

them! Also thanks to our Team of Bible Story Tellers: Sally

Miller, Alaina Cave, Kim Beckett, Gloria Rhoades, and Diane ,

our Lepper, to our preschool team Lesley Newell, Robin Pettit

and helpers, our snacks team led by Egina Koch and Cindy

Smith. We had great music led by Judy Fulton and Leigh Miller

and photography and graphics by Julie Hultquist, Mary

McHenry and Alana

Cave.

Our fabulous skit crew and set design was led by Kris Gard-

ner—What amazing talent and dedication to present God‟s

messages in a very unique way! Thanks to the “CAST”: Dan

Cuba, Paul Harris, Teagan Smith, Ang Lawraker, and Leigh

Miller. Thank you for the presence and support of our Pastors

and to the family of Carl Wester. I look forward to our next

Community VBS—it‟s amazing what can happen when we work

together in God‟s name!!

ANOTHER GREAT RUN ON THE MILE

Two of Ashland‟s street stock drivers took to the Mile at the IL State Fair Sportsmen Na-

tionals on Sunday, August 21st. This is Travis‟ third year and Shannon‟s seventh year for this race. They both did an awesome job and came away with great finishes. Shannon fin-

ished 4th place and Travis finished 10th place. The guys say that in addition to it being the

most fun ever on a race track, it is a great day spend with their family and friends and appreciate everyone coming out and support-ing them. Special thanks to all their sponsors

for making it possible. So, great job Shannon and Travis on another

great race! You family and friends are very proud of you!

SECOND SATURDAY

Second Saturday begins again September

10th. Remember, Second Saturday is open

to any children of the community, age 4—

4th Grade. We meet from 10—2 on the

Second Saturday of each month at the Ash-

land United Methodist Church. Our grannies

always provide a great lunch for us, and

there is no charge! Parents, this is a great

opportunity for you to have some time to

yourself for a few hours knowing your child

is in a safe, Christian atmosphere where he

or she will receive one on one attention and

fellowship with other kids and adults. Our

schedule usually includes a short devotion /

Bible Study, singing, crafts, games and ac-

tivities, lunch and a snack that sometimes

kids can help prepare.

Our theme for September 10 is “Back To

The Fair” with a re-visit to our VBS “Son

Harvest County Fair”. We hope to see you

there!

The A- Central Ag Program is growing again this year. There are nearly forty students enrolled in horticulture classes alone - that's nearly 1/3 of the school! Our students in this class will be learning about landscaping, greenhouse production, plant sci-ence, gardening and food preservation. Therefore, we need your help securing enough supplies. If you have any canning supplies (jars, lids, bands/rings, etc.) that you are not using we would love to put them to use as we make apple butter and salsa. We will also take any houseplants, cuttings, annuals or perennials you might have as you do you fall yard clean up. Mrs. Waters is on maternity leave but donations can be dropped

off to Jan Kirby at the high school. Thank you for your contin-ued support of our students, agriculture and the FFA.

JOHN GUTMANN RETIRES FROM B.C.U.S. #15 AFTER 41 YEARS

John Gutmann, veteran teacher and coach, has retired after 41 years of service to the Beards-town Community School District.

Gutmann began teaching at Beardstown Jr. High in 1970, where he taught Special Ed for 20 years until 1990. He continued teaching Social Studies at Beardstown Jr. High through the year

2005, and then became the Beardstown Middle School Social Studies teacher in 2005 until his retirement there in 2011.

“Johnny” as his friends knew him began his coaching career at the BHS in 1977 when he coached freshman boys‟ basketball.

Gutmann‟s long list of coaching assignments included Jr. High girls‟ and boys‟ basketball, Jr. High boys‟ football, BHS freshman football, sophomore girls‟ basketball, Jr. and Sr. High cross country, boys‟ Jr. High track and senior high girls‟ track.

Gutmann held the position of C.U.S.D. #15 Athletic Director from 1992 to 2006. He was the driv-ing force behind the Lady Tiger Classic, and is responsible along with Jim Crum in making the LTC

When asked what he was going to do during his retirement Gutmann stated, “mow grass until it turns into dirt.” The very best „Johnny‟ in your retirement, you certainly deserve it.
