I have been a resident of Orion Township for 24 years and continue to be active. I have watched our township mature into what it is today, and the maturity continues. Major decisions have been made with minimal or no input from the tax payers of Orion Township, e.g. Single Trash Hauler, New Construction of […]
Thank you to Megan Kelley and the Lake Orion Review for spotlighting Pet Passages – Lake Orion. (“Retired Lake Orion Police officer fulfills lifelong dream of owning his own business,” July 15, 2020, Lake Orion Review) I am still serving Lake Orion and the greater Lake Orion area- -just in a different way now. Pet […]
In the July 15, 2020 Lake Orion Review, a question was asked, “How important is it to listen to residents and address their concerns?” The three incumbent Township Trustees voiced the typical rhetoric that we always hear. But their actions and their words don’t match, this is particularly troublesome to me. 1. Simple Language: The […]
I think the BLM (Black Lives Matter) group better know about their leaders, Alicia Garza and Patrisse Cullors. They are “dedicated to the ideology of Communist Karl Marx. Trained Marxist, community organizers.” People, you better start investigating this group, who you are looking up to. This group, BLM, is the new title for The Black […]

My no vote on the police and fire millages is not out of disrespect for those brave people who serve our community, but is out of disrespect for the administrators of both departments and our township board. My reasons are as follows: 1. In each millage, your elected administration has combined both a renewal and […]
Keeping one’s sanity and senses during these troubling times in America can sometimes be difficult. Bike shops are out of two-wheelers – campers and boats and swimming pools are flying out of the stores as families forego elaborate vacations and opt for local trips in their own State. There are no sports to view and […]
The inaugural season of the Lake Orion Downtown Cornhole League is underway, with 12 teams tossing stars and stripes bags on flag-motif cornhole boards at various locations throughout the downtown area. The league, operated by the Sons of The American Legion Squadron 233, is supported by The American Legion Post 233, which is the league […]
I second Fred’s complaint to the road commissioner. (“Open letter to the Oakland County Road Commission: When areyou going to repair the horrible Heights Road?”, Fred Fleming, View points, July 1, 2020.) I live on Longpointe Road and must travel on both Heights and Bellevue to come and go to work, and both are terrible […]
