Out and About for June 17th, 2008

Last week I mentioned that the St. Joe County Transportation Authority would be inaugurating their “Three Rivers Circle Line” yesterday, June 16. A minor technicality has delayed the start-up of this service. The Sturgis Circle Line has been running successfully for several weeks now, and the Three Rivers Circle Line will soon be up and running. Please watch the Commercial-News for further updates as soon as they become available. The CTA reminds you that bus and van service are still running a normal schedule, so please phone them at (269)273-7808 or (800)964-5700 to arrange transportation. Read more

The carrier, whose name was not released, was arrested May 19th and resigned Tuesday. Officials say an investigation is continuing. Postal Service spokeswoman Susan Pfeifer says the carrier was a substitute and worked different routes. (AP)
