Dear Editor, My son will be two years old in 2019. Twelve years from now, when scientists at the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change say the world will be past the point of no return for catastrophic climate change unless we take drastic action now, my son will be approaching fifteen years old […]
On this day of thanksgiving, the Orion Area Parade Group wants to take a moment to express our thankfulness for the generosity of Golling Buick GMC for their ongoing and full support of the Orion Lighted Parade. Golling is the sole sponsor of the Holly Jolly Folly fundraiser, a spectacular event that is sold out […]
Congratulations Representative-Elect Elissa Slotkin! We warmly welcome your leadership to District MI08 (8th Congressional District). I hope that you will address the crisis of Alzheimer’s disease, (making it) a priority in the next Congress. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, there are 180,000 Michiganders over the age of 65 living with Alzheimer’s, and 514,000 more providing […]
Civility and Democracy were the biggest winners in Tuesday’s elections in Lake Orion. After a well fought battle over the bond issue, it was so gratifying for me to hear from other precincts that civility and a sense of friendliness existed at the polling locations.

Recently, we were involved in an automobile accident in Lake Orion. While everyone involved — those from EMS, the sheriff’s department and even bystanders — could not have been more compassionate and helpful, we were especially impressed by, and grateful to, the Lake Orion Police.

However, the simple act of kindness is fleeting, fleeing or forever gone everywhere in our entire country, in our […]
Recently, my wife and I received the opportunity to receive absentee ballots for the upcoming elections. We accepted the offer and shortly after received the mid-term ballots. While filling out the ballots, we noticed that there is a glaring flaw in this way of voting. Nowhere on the forms do they ask for any form […]
A Lake Orion Review Editorial No one denies that Lake Orion is a great school district. Dragon pride runs deep in all of us and we all want what’s best for our students. They are, after all, the future of our community, just as children are the future of any family. So, as the Nov. […]
The Lake Orion Dragons Middle School Cheer team should be an example to all cheer teams. These wonderful girls and coaches took my daughter, Gabby Vellucci, who has Down syndrome, and made her one of their own. They accepted my daughter on their team and treated her like anyone else. They were so compassionate and […]
Despite what you have seen on road signs and the information provided by the Lake Orion School system, the Bond proposal requires an additional 3.99 mills in taxes. If you don’t believe me, read the ballot when you are voting. This is one place the school board cannot twist information to support their bloated request. […]
