"One of the things I’ve always loved about living downtown is the combination of urban amenities and access to nature. Each of the three rivers that converge a block from my apartment has a different character."
"All across this country in small towns and big cities alike, clerks and election officials are hard at work to take their part in this essential American tradition, but they need us to demand that our elected leaders give them the tools to do the job. We still have time to get this right. But the clock is ticking."
After an almost four-hour standoff with police Tuesday, a Three Rivers man surrendered to authorities around 6:45 p.m., bringing a peaceful resolution to an otherwise adrenaline charged incident.
"Buzzing after Brittany told him about the winning lottery ticket, Daryl couldn’t sit still. He wanted to tell someone about his windfall, but he also didn’t want to break his promise. To ease his nerves, Daryl went for a long walk around TR. He didn’t have a plan where he was going; he just started walking."
"While Daryl didn’t break his promise to Brittany, by that evening Three Rivers was abuzz anyway. Television trucks from Grand Rapids and South Bend descended like locusts on the 131 Gas and Go where the winning ticket was sold."
"Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has been trying to stay in front of this pandemic and is making decisions based on our safety, the constituents of her state. Requesting supplies from the federal government, closing schools, and issuing stay-at-home orders are all part of an attempt to flatten the curve on this deadly virus, and will save lives if done correctly. Her decision to extend the stay-at-home orders and to create more stringent rules are not because she has decided to be a dictator, nor are they because she is trying to become Joe Biden’s running mate. "It’s because we as residents of this state were not making intelligent decisions."
The Ticket is a work of short fiction written by former Three Rivers resident and local author Charles Thomas. The story has been split into seven parts, all of which will be published on Watershed Voice in the coming days/months.
Northside Beverage, a party store located at 135 N. Main St. in Three Rivers, was robbed Saturday night around 9:30 p.m., according to the Three Rivers Police Department.
