With the weather we’ve been experiencing lately, it’s difficult to even think about this year’s Water Festival. It’s still about five months away, so don’t get out your lawn chairs quite yet. Deb Herring and the Water Festival committee have already scheduled their first meeting. We’ll meet at the Three Rivers Area Chamber of Commerce office in Three Rivers February …

On Sunday, January 27, the Three Rivers community lost another quiet volunteer. Daisy Wagner passed away. Daisy was a past Lions Club Citizen of the Year. The banquet honoring her was not as well attended as some others, and I’m sure the reason was that she just wasn’t as well-known as many other past recipients. She was rather low-key, and …

My name is Emma and I am a female black lab, about 2 years old. I was found and am now at animal control, waiting to be adopted and made part of a family. I may seem shy at first. It’s quite noisy in here and that scares me, but if you get me in a quieter place I am …

Hi, my name is Shelba. I want you to know that last week’s Pet of the Week, Queenie, was adopted and has found her forever home. Sugar, the kitty from a couple of weeks ago, is still waiting for someone to give her a forever home. I am a grey female, one year old. When people pick me up I …

We are no longer experiencing temperatures in the forties and fifties. As a matter of fact, a 35 degree day would be more than welcome by most of us. I haven’t seen too many birds in the area for a week or two, and I can’t remember the last time I was bitten by a mosquito. We have been very …

Sugar is still waiting. I am now called Queenie. I am a petite female Beagle. Who could resist a face like this? I really just want to cuddle right now, you see it is pretty noisy around here and I need a new home. I just love people and just want to be special to someone. You can visit me …

We’re more than half way through January, and the winter has not been that bad so far. I’m sure we’ll have our share of stormy weather, but right now, every nice day is a bonus. The snow blower is filled with gasoline and ready for whatever Mother Nature sends our way. I’ve been reminded that we need the snow for …

I am Sugar. And I want to know why I am still here and my sister has gone to a new home? I am a very good girl also. I am only eight month old and I am a good snuggle bug. I am a nice Tiger cat and can be found in pen 1 docket 10041 at the St …

Every so often, I receive reassurance that someone actually reads this column. My friend Becky asked me if I would please add one more hint to the topic of safe driving tips. There’s always room for one more, so here you go. In most areas, it is against the law to have anything hanging from your rearview mirror. I found …
