I was amazed at how many readers thanked me for mentioning the fact that the downtown sidewalks can be a danger zone because of the bicyclists and skateboarders who insist on using the sidewalks as their private “straightaway”. Perhaps one of our city commissioners will bring up this issue at the next City Commission meeting. I’m sure it would be mentioned if one of them happened to be knocked down by one of our younger citizens. Anyway, I thank you all for your comments. They are very much appreciated. Read more

The St. Joseph County Grange Fair is now in the history books. Weather was perfect, except for opening day. If anyone reading this had anything to do with making the fair happen, I applaud you for a job well done. Centreville may now return to the quiet village that we’ve all come to love and appreciate.

Gray’s Community Band is known throughout the area for providing free performances several times during the year. The band is made up of individuals who perform just for the love of music and the enjoyment they receive by playing instruments that they have owned most of their lives. There is no age limit, and the only prerequisite is that you must be willing to practice with the group sometime before each performance. The only pay received is the applause given by the audience. Band director Andrew Hagenbuch is seeking new members. Rehearsals will begin this evening, September 9, at 7 at the First Church of God, 17398 M-86, just off South Main, in Three Rivers. If you are currently in a high school band program or just have a musical instrument sitting around gathering dust, you’re invited to check them out. For more information, please call 244-1014.
