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 […]
Heather Sinawi is someone our family has known well for many years. She is a hard working individual who is full of integrity and courage, she stands up for people who can’t stand up for themselves, sees the ones that often get overlooked, and has lived her life passionately in service for others. One of […]
At the Sept. 13 DDA meeting, item 8.1 on the agenda was “Purchase of Property” with no description of what property that was. Several members of the public commented on the rumored lumber yard purchase during the Call to the Public section, never being told that this was an item on the agenda. The policy […]
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. […]
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.

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 disagree with the Moceri claim that it meets the village Master Plan and zoning, but then I don’t have a vote on such things. It is filling these sites with buildings, paving, and minimal landscaping. It is far more massive than anything that exists in these locations and adding approximately 150 units, possibly more […]
Mr. (Cory) Johnston, the planning commission requires a 10 percent open space adherence and Moceri offers 24 percent? The problem is not Moceri, it’s the planning commission. Why would they accept so little? Because this is Mayberry RFD, and now we have to step up and act like we deserve to have this fantastic area […]
