A stat nerd. That’s what I am. Often quoting random statistics in everyday conversations. That is to say, if numbers are involved, I’ll probably remember them. So instead of offering endorsements (which I typically don’t like newspapers doing), I’d rather offer a slew of statistics to guide voters as they sift through the candidates for […]
It was another successful Fourth of July celebration on the streets and in the sky above Lake Orion last weekend.

Members of the Lake Orion Liquid Lightning Swim Club went on their longest trip as a team last month, when the squad traveled to the Busbey meet in Cleveland, Ohio, June 20-22. ‘This was the first time that the club had traveled out of state as a team,? said Coach Tom Arusoo. ‘Competition was strong […]
