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 […]

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 […]

Michigan’s manufacturing-intensive economy depends on affordable energy. But energy would become increasingly more expensive without the infrastructure and pipelines that deliver oil, petroleum products and natural gas to businesses and power plants across the state. Affordable energy plays a critical role in keeping Michigan businesses competitive—not just with other states, but in the global economy […]
Our state Rep. John Reilly, R-Oakland Twp., 46th District, recently shared his opinion piece in The Detroit News regarding his support of closing the teacher pension system.
