There has been much said about the concerns of introducing pollution to our lake by the Lake Orion Village management. An alternative much less expensive system has been proposed by myself to the Village in this newspaper over the last few weeks. Essentially, given the long distance to the lake from Lakeview Street, a large […]
This letter is in response to an editorial in last week’s 7/19/17 Lake Orion Review wherein certain statements were made in conflict with the facts presented below. (“Darned press is at it again — all jammed up from Lakeview to Church Street,” page 7.) The editor said: “Does he (Paul Widlak) really think adding that […]
I was happy to see the article on State Representative John Reily. (“State Rep. John Reilly shares complete voting record online,” Lake Orion Review, July 19, 2017, page 3.) I love the fact that he posts his vote explanations on Facebook, as well as on repreilly.com. John and I ascribe to very different political paradigms, […]
Dear Mr. Young: My late husband, George and I came to Orion shortly after World War II. We have raised our children and grand-children here. Let me remind you that we all pay an assessment with our property taxes to control both the weeds and the algae blooms in the lake. Now you are proposing […]
Why aren’t we banning Russia? They only want to destroy our country, but we keep letting them in. They (the U.S. Government) ban Latinos who payed billions in taxes to help our country and we keep them out. How stupid is that? Anyone in this country who supports (Russian President Vladimir) Putin should have their […]
Please let me take this opportunity to comment on the July 12 article which appeared in the Lake Orion Review titled “Village Council promises to address Lakeview Street flooding concerns at meeting on Monday.” Some of the statements in the article are misleading. Council President Ken Van Portfliet commented that they won’t pump sewage into […]
This past Tuesday we had the total enjoyment of listening to the Lake Orion High School Band at a concert in the Wildwood Pavilion. It was a magical evening! To realize that over one hundred students took time out from their summer vacation to practice three times for the concert and then spend the evening […]
Thank you for the great story and the marvelous photos you featured in the June 28th edition of the Lake Orion Review (“The Carnival Comes to Town,” page 1). The overall chairman of the event was Jack Patton, and Subra Sunderaswarsh was the co-chair. Mary Rodgers and Cathi Williams chaired the beer tent, and Bob […]
The standing water and draining concerns of Lakeview Street have been in existence for over seventeen years. Various times the neighbors have approached The Village and ask that all appropriate measures be taken to correct the flooding of our properties. This overflow is a direct result of asphalting the road incorrectly. Prior to paving the […]
In regards to the GOP’s latest health care proposal, one can only conclude that they live in a world fully detached from their constituents. Our representatives should not be voting for any measure that causes people to lose coverage, raise premiums on those with pre-existing conditions, or cuts funding to Medicare or Medicaid. Health care […]
