I would like to offer a public apology to (Orion Twp. Supervisor) Chris Barnett, and (Treasurer) Donnie Steel for my behavior at the library meeting on May 9th. I lashed out in anger. It is easy to wound people and difficult later to bind the wound. I am sorry. I wish I had presented my […]
I am writing this letter to express my concern about Heights Road and Bellevue Road. These roads are almost impassable in spots. Heights Road is almost a one lane road, since cars need to slow down because most of the cars are traveling down the center of the road because the side of the roads […]
Last weekend, a hearty group of Orion firefighters showed up to build their “brother” a wheelchair ramp. My husband, Charlie Harkins, a retired Orion firefighter and EMT of 35 years, recently suffered a stroke. We don’t know yet how long his recovery will take, but in the meantime, he now has a safe way to […]
In the June 19 Lake Orion Review I opined (good word) about some events and issues that were on my mind. So, this week I want to continue those thoughts. Visited our Lake Orion library this past week. It is wonderful jewel in our town and if you haven’t been there lately you are missing […]
As June ended, I said goodbye to a longtime spiritual friend. It took several years for me to accept her invite to her church because I was busy, I felt I knew who God was and I was sure God knew me too. I studied independently and felt free to do so. Then one day […]

Jim Lewis is a 1949 graduate of Lake […]

As Executive Director of the Lake Orion Downtown Development Authority, I am honored the DIA chose our town to feature high-quality reproductions of the museum’s art right here in the […]
Well, the rain in Michigan has temporarily stopped as we await the next opening of the clouds. As I sit here in our Lake Orion home, I have some rambling thoughts to share with you. Feeling sorry for all the graduates who have scheduled an outdoor party. Even with tents the constant rain has put […]
TThat would be my advice to the conservative and G.O.P. leaders. The voters are fed up with your garbage. The Democrats are doing their jobs. I plan on voting a straight Democrat ticket in 2020 and taking them all out of office with one vote. That’s better than impeachment. That’s the smart way of doing […]
Parenting is not always easy and that is true for caregiving as well. We are always watching for safety and protection. There are times we have to explain why something cannot be done so many times that our patience wears thin from the repetition. Always remember, though, between you and that thinness is your breath.
