I experience a lot of different feelings as I’m forced to sit through Oxford Village Council meetings twice a month ? sometimes it’s more often if there’s a particular topic they’re trying to talk to death. Shame. Embarrassment. Anger. Frustration. Sleepiness. Hopelessness. Depression. Boredom. Nausea. Acid reflux. These feelings have only worsened lately because the […]
Forty-four youths, ages 10-15, participated in the Oxford Hills Golf & Country Club’s Junior Golf League this summer, but only two walked away with trophies. Brent Bouck, a sophomore at Oxford High School, won the first flight championship with 23 points, while Zach Beatty, a fifth-grader at Lakeville Elementary, earned the second flight championship with […]
Chatting with Elizabeth Gerke it’s easy to see why she wins so many pageants. She has a wonderful mix of confidence, charm and humor ? rare qualities in most people let alone a 7-year-old. No doubt those qualities led to the Oxford resident’s recent crowning as a National Queen in the Jr. Preteen Division of […]
Saturday’s ‘Celebrate Lone Ranger? parade and festival were absolutely perfect. Frankly, we could stop right there. Nothing more really needs to be said. But one sentence hardly makes for an editorial, so allow us to expand on that thought. We were amazed, humbled and quite gratified at the sight of thousands of spectators lining M-24, […]

The only thing brighter than her pretty pink outfit was the smile on Oxford resident Kelly Morrison’s face as she got to meet Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera. Cabrera was at Lake Orion High School Aug. 1 hosting a ProCamps Worldwide baseball camp for more than 300 kids from ages 6 to 14. Morrison is […]
n addition to its many cakes and other sugary delights, downtown Oxford’s Sweet & Savory Bake Shop now has some precious metal on display. The 9 S. Washington St. business won the Silver Bullet Good Deeds contest for the 250 Lone Ranger cupcakes it created and donated for the movie sneak preview/statue fund-raiser held July […]
Shirley Maylock ? born Shirley Ann Russell ? wasn’t one of those millions of children who eagerly followed the Lone Ranger’s thrilling adventures on the radio. That’s because she was on the show. ‘I just enjoyed it. It was a fun part of my childhood and a very pleasant part,? said the 85-year-old Harrison Township […]
Most college students usually spend their freshman year awkwardly adjusting to their new academic and social surroundings. Not Sean Sullivan. He was busy taking a crash course in entrepreneurship by founding and operating his own campus business for four years.
