BETHALTO - “It’s exciting times,” Todd Hannaford said, CM’s athletic director. The fall sports season usually brings a lot of excitement around the Riverbend area, but that excitement is ramped up to 11 for the Bethalto community. Work has been going on at their football stadium this summer to make it look almost unrecognizable from a season ago. Upgrades include the addition of new storage under the grandstands, a brand new track, a completely re-done turf field, new fencing, and tons of new concrete to transform the area into something special. CM football fans were a little worried that all the work may not be done in time for the home opener on August 26th against Marquette, but workers were adamant that they are right on schedule. Some estimated that it could all be done by the end of next week. That's not saying there isn't still work to be done. It appeared as if a lot of concrete still had to be poured, the track needs to be lined, the turf

After practicing law for over 30 years, Pastor Pawloski has decided to devote the majority of his working days to the ministry. Although he will continue to practice law, he will spend most of his time working for the church. Pawloski has also been tapped to helm St. John UCC in Brighton, and he will split his time between both congregations. “My memory isn’t as good as it used to be,” Pastor John jokes, “so I thought it best to pick two churches with a name I would not easily forget, and what is easier to remember than your own name?”. Pawloski entered Eden Theological Seminary in Webster Groves Missouri in September of 2015. Eden offers first-year students an opportunity to go to seminary tuition free. He still was not sure that it was something he would be able to do alongside working full-time as a trial lawyer. However, with classes offered
