Democracy works!

There are great things happening at an amazing party – one with respect for all people (including those with different viewpoints), a commitment to common sense weapon ownership and safety standards, a proven ability to solve problems through debate and compromise, and a belief that women’s health decisions are best made between the woman and […]

Thank you Lake Orion DPW employees!

A grateful and appreciative thank you to Lake Orion DPW employees Sam and Wes. With friendly and willing helpfulness and investigative knowledge, they went above and beyond the call of duty to help a very special elderly village resident who was having difficulty finding her way home.

A spiritual walk — Discerning your purpose

Most of us at one time or another wonder about life and what brought us into this existence? What is our purpose? When questioning thoughts about life come into your mind, sink into yourself. Hopefully, you can go deep enough to vaguely feel and identify yourself as a part of the cosmic plan; a piece […]

Lake Orion Lumber Yard, DDA and the Village of Lake Orion

At the Sept. 13 DDA meeting, item 8.1 on the agenda was “Purchase of Property” with no description of what property that was.

Fall change is everywhere

George Bernard Shaw wrote – “Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” In line with this statement, we recently put our thoughts into changing our yard. We realized our little plantings from 40 years ago had grown so much they now provided our gardens too little sunlight. […]

Disappointed at Patriot Day Ceremony time

Sure was disappointed that the Patriot Day Ceremony was set at 12 p.m. (Sunday). Many patriots are just getting out from their church services. Thought you should know how we feel to be excluded. Shirley Riggleman Orion Twp.

Village, township should mandate more trees in developments

I am writing to express my support with Carol Ebner’s letter “Orion Twp., village need to stop over-developing” published in the Aug. 31 issue. I fully agree with Ms. Ebner’s analysis regarding how over-development is largely responsible for frequent excessive heat episodes and with her exhortation to “increase our forests, grasslands and meadows”, and wish […]

Village should transfer lakefront property to landowners

What are your Village taxes as a Lake Orion lakefront property owner? Look it up to see what it was 10 years ago.  Does it now seem high? Well, it is high compared to many other lakeshore owners who don’t pay any taxes on their lakefront.  They are getting a free ride on taxes as […]

Oppose Moceri development

Why so many apartments? Moceri is attempting to make as much money as possible off the limited land and lake front? I call that modified funneling by providing so many units access to the lake without having sufficient frontage. Moceri gets to price the units as having lakefront access and maximizes profits. I say Moceri […]
