It was great to open our mailbox yesterday and see your welcome column (from View Newspaper Group Publisher Wes Smith) on the front page of the Lake Orion Review and a greatly needed update to the look of the paper. (My wife) and I are of course very interested in both Oxford and Lake Orion […]
Dear Editor, I have read of the well-deserved recognition given to the Oxford Fire Department and the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department for their quick response and handling of the shooting at the Oxford High School in December. It was a tragedy that I never thought would befall Oxford. But I have yet to see any […]
To Mr. Rick Burrough, owner, View Newspaper Group, Congratulations on your purchase of Sherman Publications. My parents, Ellen and Martin Carlson, published the Lake Orion Review from about 1956 until (Dec. 4, 1972). Although my father only had a high school education, he was a fierce advocate of a free press for all of his […]

A spiritual life is about learning to understand life, ourselves, our purpose and our place […]
