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 […]
On a recent trip to the Lake Orion Home Depot, I wandered into the plant section to see what was left of summer. I purchased three “end of season” hanging floral baskets that would work well for Sunday morning at Unity of Lake Orion for a great price. Once home, I realized the flower pots […]

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 […]
We have lived in Lake Orion for five years and (have) come to know Bruce well. He is a sweet, gentle man that has become a staple of our community, like many other staples we see in passing (through) our community. We would be sad and losing something special if he is forced to be […]
In my teachings, I have learned that the bible is full of stories, parables and allegories, from ages and ages ago to expand our knowledge even more, there are books, videos, movies and lessons. All of these are presented to us as spiritual tools and each of us can decide what we will accept as […]
