They decided on Oct. 25 to table a suggestion by the village’s board of zoning appeals to help Symphony Homes with the cost of a 15 inch storm […]
Blondes typically don’t have as much hair as people with dark hair colors. I don’t know why. Obviously as we get older, some of us (both men and women) have hair that seems to get thinner by the day. My mother, in her later years, had her hairdresser work in a hair piece at the […]
I’m voting no on Proposal 1. It’s one of those ‘who do you believe? questions. Granholm and Patterson say it could really hurt the state’s lottery system. It’s possible any new proposed lottery game might need voter approval. Lottery games need to change and be fresh or otherwise people lose interest in buying tickets. Less […]

Oh no, I thought, I’ll have to take the dreaded driver’s test and a vision test. I wasn’t too worried about […]
Who’s going to win the presidential election? If polls are accurate, it seems George W. Bush will return to office. But…. The University of Phoenix alumni magazine tells we should pay attention to some weird predictors out there that are really on the mark. For instance, of the 14 presidential elections since 1948, the taller […]
Travelers on Atwater Street can expect some relief from bad road conditions in 2005. Lake Orion Village Council members will probably OK a paving project for the busy road sometime this fall. According to LO Village Manager JoAnn Van Tassel, a timeline has been drawn up to have bid requests go out late winter or […]
