A Spiritual Walk By Linda La Croix This week the Lake Orion community celebrates the Dragon on the Lake Festival and many from the surrounding areas come to enjoy it too. When I saw the banner to advertise it going up, I thought, hmmm, wonder if there is a spiritual walk regarding dragons? Actually, there […]
By Linda La Croix A few years ago, I held a Veteran’s Walk after church. One of our veteran members was very happy that we would do something special for veterans. He encouraged me to watch for the right person to lead something where veterans could come into the church and have the opportunity to […]
Review Editorial It may seem hard to believe, but life isn’t all about that first person you see in the mirror every morning. Sometimes, you have to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. 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.

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.

This letter is regarding the roundabout that is going to be constructed on E. Flint Street and Orion Road. This construction is designed to allow a steady flow of traffic through that intersection. The problem is, this situation will not solve the problem of the traffic. That will remain the same, but the flow of […]
Those of you individuals who have claimed Planet Fitness will not last, you are very uninformed. The other nearby gyms are too small or in the case of Great Lakes too expensive. I am sure not made of money and I believe the new fitness center will thrive. Sounds to me like the nay sayer’s […]
The Parks & Recreation millage (one mill) on the Aug. 7 ballot is all about raising $1.7 million for each of the next five years from local property owners. But the township is already paying for the parks and recreation needs from the $7 million general budget. If the township needs additional amounts to support […]
My reasons for not supporting the 1 mill millage for parks and recreation are: 1. If you combine all the state, county and township parks, safety paths and numerous trails in Orion Township there is no need to expand what we have on a grandiose scale. 2. The current .9064 millage for the township general […]
