Fifty years ago in early October the 1968 World Series featured the American League Champions Detroit Tigers against the National League Champions St. Louis Cardinals. The underdog Tigers came back from a 3-1 deficit to win three games in a row primarily on the arm of MVP Mickey Lolich. He remains the last pitcher to […]
A couple years ago I attended a bridal event as a vendor. Being there gave me the opportunity to meet many couples who were in the midst of planning their wedding. This was such an exciting time for them. Their thoughts were focused on the cake, dress, makeup, music, photographer and more. Most couples I […]
We have had a home here in the Village of Lake Orion since 1985. Are the residents aware of a new phenomenon? Anyone can purchase a home, put it on the internet and rent it daily, weekly or monthly. It literally becomes a motel room in a residential area. The overnighters are coming and going […]
So, our “fake” president wants a military parade? What a waste of taxpayers’ money. I can find better uses, like healthcare, taking care of our vets, roads, bridges, fixing our electrical systems and grids, etc. Small stuff! If (President Donald) Trump wants a parade, he and his billionaire friends he gave the tax cuts to […]

Voters in Oxford, Addison and Orion townships will have an opportunity to do just that when they face a millage renewal for […]
Review Editorial Four candidates are running in the Republican primary for the 12th District seat in the Michigan Senate, but in our mind, there’s only one man for the job. We wholeheartedly support Jim Tedder and urge Oxford, Addison and Orion voters to do the same. We see Tedder as the only candidate who’s going […]
I use the North Oakland Transportation Authority (NOTA) to get to and from work most days. This has helped me increase hours because it is not based on my mom’s availability. Plus, they are never late (sorry, mom). More hours means that I get a bigger paycheck. My bigger paycheck means more taxes for our […]
Sometimes life gives you lemons when you’ve planned for lemonade. Disaster can happen to anyone. That’s why I’m asking you to vote “yes” on the senior and disabled transportation millage renewal in the Aug. 7 primary election. Living under dramatically reduced circumstances as a retiree is certainly not the life I envisioned for myself, but […]
