A belated Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mothers. If my mother were alive today, I’d once again thank her for giving me life. If your mother is still living, I think it would be fitting to do just that. This is for all of the husbands, who are also fathers, who failed to provide a suitable gift for …

Time does pass quickly. It has been a year already since the mail carriers have collected non-perishable food items for local food banks or pantries. Once again, next Saturday, May 8, the National Association of Letter Carriers, in conjunction with the U.S. Postal Service, will collect non-perishable food items like canned meats and fish, canned soup, juice, pasta, vegetables, cereal, …

This weekend is special. Saturday is the first of May. To me, it’s a sign that we probably will not be blessed with any significant accumulation of snow until next winter. However, this is Michigan, and I’ve learned to never say never. If May 1 doesn’t excite you, perhaps you should know that the Three Rivers Lions Club will conduct …

This is my favorite time of the year. The chances of a snowstorm are slim. We shouldn’t hear anything about wind chill factors for a while, and basically, as far as the weather is concerned, it’s great to be in Michigan.

For those of you uninformed, the Citizen of the Year banquet will be Tuesday, April 27, at A Place in Time in downtown Three Rivers. The evening’s celebration begins with a social hour at six, …

Last Thursday we lost Meezer. Meezer was a Siamese cat that my wife had had for about eighteen years. There was a time when she could hold him in one hand. I met Meezer when I started courting my wife. He reminded me of myself when I was younger. He was cross-eyed, he could be referred to as being snaggle-toothed, …

Spring officially arrived last Saturday, March 20. This is according to the calendar I have in my office. I’m pretty sure, however, that spring began about two or three weeks ago. “How do you know this?” you ask. Well, the temperature has been in the fifties, buds are on the trees, the water level in the rivers has risen, and …

Congratulations to the Three Rivers High School basketball teams, both boys and girls. You gave it all you could to make it to the finals and we couldn’t be prouder of your dedication and desire to be state champions. You are all champions in our eyes, and you should be proud of playing with true Wildcat spirit and never letting …
