Treasure found at Paine-Gillam-Scott Museum
Volunteers found a treasure on the front porch of Paine-Gillam-Scott Museum left by an anonymous donor. The scrapbook contained old time pictures, newspaper clippings from The Republican News, school programs, obituaries, family pictures and other interesting articles. Fortunately the weather cooperated because the album was not protected.
The museum scans photographs, documents and newspaper clippings, etc. and stores the images in the Past Perfect software program. If you have photographs or documents you want scanned instead of donating, please call 989-224-2894 or 989-292-9096. Email is psgmuseum@gmail.com. An appointment can be made, or visit on Wednesday 2 pm-6:30 pm or Sundays 1 pm-4 pm.
The exhibit for 2017, Early Transportation and Fashion features photos, artifacts, travel clothing, a renovated buggy, etc. Plan to visit and look back in time to see how travel has changed in Clinton County.
The museum complex is located at 106 Maple St., west of the Courthouse. Check out pgsmuseum.com or Facebook page, Paine-Gillam-Scott Museum, St. Johns.

Bobby Reyburn is a funny young guy who loves to do impressions. He’s also a member of the Aryan nation, a racist predator convicted of a horrific crime. John Brennan is educated and arrogant, a serious writer who may only be guilty of doing society a favor. As each awaits his fate on death row, one evokes sympathy, the other derision. In vivid scenes, Coyote On A Fence explores the disturbing question: Can one be innocent though proven guilty?
The cast includes Michael Banghart, Cassidy Addis Greene, Ben Guenther and Steve Lee.
Tickets are $10 general admission, $5 students, at the door.
