One of my favorite statues is that of an angel. When one comes into my sight, they are a vision of openness, caring, loving, selflessness, kindness and representative of all that is good. Angels are mentioned many times as messengers in the bible and they are always there in times of need and to show […]
This letter is on behalf of Bruce Gertz in regards to the recent proposal to have him relocated. My family moved to the Lake Orion/Oxford area three years ago. One of the first people they met was Bruce. My family has a special place in their heart for Bruce, providing him food, money, contributing to […]
As I understand it there is an Orion Township committee studying the single hauler issue. If Orion Township does in fact go that way there is an important stipulation that should be in the contract with the new hauler. I live in the northwest corner of the township and we have several private roads with […]
In the last couple of weeks, I cogitated (good word) about some events and issues that were on my mind. This week I want to continue those thoughts. Nothing says “Happy Birthday America” better than a cacophony of exploding roman candles, bottle rockets, cherry bombs and artillery shells perpetrated by a band of incendiary neighborhood […]
Swimming in a lake on a hot summer day is one of life’s true pleasures, unless the water contains potentially deadly bacteria or chemicals! So, should you should stop swimming in lakes? Residents living near Michigan’s many lakes often want to know if the water is safe for swimming or fishing. One concern is E. […]
The Lake Orion Knights of Columbus recently distributed checks from their spring time Tootsie Roll Drive fundraiser for our cognitively impaired citizens. Checks totaling nearly $11,000 were given to N.O.V.A. (North Oakland Vocational Association, Inc,), SCAMP, Oakland County Special Olympics, Section XIII Special Olympics, Banbury Cross Therapeutic Equestrian Center and the North Oakland Autism Center […]
We just celebrated the Fourth of July. The people in the American colonies were angry that British Parliament was taxing them and “not representing them” over here on this side of the world. They wanted to have a say in things. It is my opinion that the parents of Lake Orion students need to have […]
As I sat and wrote my rough copy, another 15-year-old was shot and killed playing basketball. (Sick). Does it start at “The High” fans that do not stand at the anthem – nor remover their hats? Respect. The female ref in Lapeer that had to throw three visitors from the game – and they were […]
Dear Mr. Rush, Your column, “A little itty bitty piece of our hearts,” (Lake Orion Review, June 26, page 7) was excellent. It brought back memories of dogs I’ve had over the years. Thanks for writing a nice article. Sincerely, Jack Heal Lake Orion
For once I was speechless. I want to thank all of those responsible, especially my wife, Margie, and her sister, June Smith, for my 90th birthday surprise at the all-class reunion at the Knights of Columbus Hall on June 19. Thank you for all the cards and gifts. It’s something I’ll always remember. Cecil Ryckman […]
