Are you having a fun time traversing the roads in Lake Orion as construction continues on Baldwin, Waldon, Maybee and Joslyn? Before one project is completed, another one begins and thus we have nonstop aggravation. Of course, when all of the construction is completed, we will supposedly have clear sailing throughout the community, which will […]
Years ago, while shopping for groceries at dinner time I overheard a mother who was not speaking very nicely to her child. I recall thinking: it’s dinner time and the young child is probably hungry, mom’s appearance looked like she was on her way home from work, both are tired and words are being said […]
I’d like to share a DNA surprise story with you that will likely hit home with your readers in many ways. All of the major news networks are airing similar stories on a national basis, but this one is centered in Lake Orion. I am a 58-year-old man who recently learned through DNA testing that […]
The citizens of Orion Township rose up spontaneously when our Township Board voted 6-1 to issue a $15 million bond for the construction of a new Township Hall. We had no political experience, no money and no organizational backing. Nevertheless, we found an outpouring of support from residents that agreed such a colossal amount of […]
Dear village residents and homeowners, Are you aware of what is happening around you? Are you aware that anyone, or any company or any groups of people can buy up homes? (The home right next door to you.) They are placing ads on several sites – Airbnb, Home Away, etc. – and begin a motel […]

Delivery trucks always park on the street anyway, and this property has a private driveway adjacent. Let the public have a place to park. Ron […]
I have always thought of this paper as a fair and caring one with a better opinion of the people in this town than I saw (in the Aug. 7 issue). When you printed a (letter to the editor) downgrading someone who is a delight to know and a caring and helpful human being, up […]
I’ve been a Lake Orion resident for 15 years. I first saw Bruce back in 2014, sitting alone, across from the entrance to Christie’s. Flash forward to this year, and I saw him again, but in a different way. In early August, I went up to him to introduce myself, bringing some water, and also […]
Our supervisor, Chris Barnett, and Orion Township trustees want to build a new Township Hall without the people of Orion having a say about the new Township Hall. This should be voted on by the citizens of Orion Township, not just what the supervisor and trustees want. If you would like to sign a petition […]
