This letter is in response to Bill Kalmar’s letter published on July 7, 2016. I guess, according to the wordsmith Bill Kalmar in his letter published on July 7, 2016 I am one of those “self-serving” and “usual suspects.” Because, I am one of the guilty in having written one of those letters for a […]
For the communications merit badge I have to write a letter to a local newspaper editor and express my opinion on an issue. I had read the article “There seems to be unnecessary silliness regarding bathrooms” and decided to go with that. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with a person wanting to use […]
NOTA, North Oakland transportation authority, what is it good for? In 2000 I was able to utilize the services of NOTA On a one day notice and it was free at that time. It was free to me because I had become a paraplegic in the year 1999. I utilized their services for a year […]

When Muhammad Ali was preparing for a fight, he always promoted the battle by giving it a title such as, “The Thrilla In Manila” or “The Rumble In The Jungle”. It reflected what was about to take place in the ring. Perhaps the Orion Township Board of Trustees need to utilize a similar tactic when […]
Beyond a doubt, Donni Steele is the most qualified candidate for the position of Treasurer of Orion Township. Donni spent her career as a successful businesswoman in the Lake Orion and Oxford area. She productively managed a large real estate office where she proved her skills in fiscal responsibility. Donni is a long-time Lake Orion […]
I never made a public endorsement so please consider this one. I met Donni Steele about eight years ago when we both joined the safety path committee at the same time. She was a true joy to work with even when our opinions or directions were different. She flattered me this past year by revealing she really […]
