You have heard from this from me before; if we want to change our life, the job is ours to do. Just validating that once again because all changes in life are supported by our own thoughts and perceptions. What unfolds from our changes or actually life itself, originates from our own thinking.

I am writing to bring attention to what I believe is an oversight in the Orion Township Parks and Recreation department’s five-year master plan. The department’s own analysis identified deficiencies in our community’s recreational facilities, notably in two categories: ice arenas and tot lots.

Hopefully you have already thought about getting more happiness into your life and enjoying life more fully. That’s a great thought and here is how […]
I received my winter tax statement a few weeks ago. There is nothing on that statement about any tax dollars going to the DDA even though I am in the DDA tax capture area. I filed a FOIA request with Orion Township and the Village of Lake Orion to find out where my tax dollars […]
The Orion Lighted Parade Committee would like to apologize for the truck with the very loud train-like horn that was in our parade on Saturday night. We did not know about the extremely loud horn until after the parade had started. We can assure you that this vehicle will not be in the parade again […]
If downtown Lake Orion goes to paid parking I will never shop or visit downtown again. There are lots more businesses nearby that will gladly take my money and not charge me to park.
