One of the advantages of living in the United States is the ability to express ourselves unabashedly – it’s called Freedom of Speech and it is guaranteed in the Constitution. As we have seen over the years, people are not reluctant to voice their opinion, whether it is about politics, movies, restaurants, TV shows, sports, […]
I attended Representative John Reilly’s monthly meeting last week at the Orion Twp. Library. What I heard dropped my jaw to the floor. When asked directly if he’d like to see charter schools in Lake Orion, he replied, with no hesitation, “Yes”. While his voting record proves that he does not generally support our public […]
A warning to Orion Township residents who drive on Orion Township roads: If you see a police car behind you, pull over immediately into a driveway or a business parking lot along the road and wait for this police car to go past you. I was driving to the Orion Oaks Dog Park Wednesday morning. […]
On Saturday (Oct. 21) at the Knight’s of Columbus Hall, the Down Syndrome Guild put on a BOO BASH and ended with a TRUNK OR TREAT and invited their friends with disabilities from the Lake Orion schools to join in on all the fun. It was a HALLO-ween of a good time! And the turn […]

I’ve been doing it most of my life when I go to church. I plan on keeping taking a knee anytime and anywhere I choose. I take orders from no one. If you want to wrap a flag around yourself and stand, that’s your right. And if the (football) players want to take a knee, […]
My name is Lesley Myrvold. I am a college student who has been living in Lake Orion my whole life. I was emailing you in regard to the post I just saw on your Facebook page about the removal of “The Rocks.” “The Rocks” was a place I grew up walking to; it was one […]
I would like to share a story with you. About a week-and-a-half ago, I went to watch my grandson, who plays football for the Lake Orion freshman football team, play on the road. Before the game, it was announced that for technical reasons they would not be able to play the national anthem. I looked […]
