Since late 2013, the Niverville Community Bus has been cruising the highways around Niverville. The idea for the bus was originally birthed by the Maranatha Church in 2012, although the project subsequently took on a life of its own, quickly expanding in scope to benefit not just one church but the entire community. Other congregations joined forces with the local business community and civic-minded individuals to raise almost $100,000, enough to not only purchase the three-year-old bus, but also to cover the initial taxes and insurance.

We grew up in the same community, yet I didn’t really establish a friendship with Tim until the last ten years of his life. I was aware of Tim at a distance and had known of some of the challenges he had experienced in his teenage and early adult years. What I well remember from even way back was that he was pretty straight about things. His life was lived pretty much with two colors: black and white, and the shade of grey was rarely to be found.
