Utilize available sources of money

The early signing of Dan Owens to Ashland University in Ohio brought up a subject near and dear to me: finance. With an athletic scholarship, athletes have the opportunity to have at least a portion of their college education paid for. The best way to ensure a solid future, I believe, and not just because […]

Young Wolves team takes sixth in state

Once a champion, repeating the feat can be a difficult task. Clarkston’s girls cross country was in a position to capture its fourth consecutive division I state championship at Michigan International Speedway on Nov. 4. The girls came up short, but did finish sixth in the 27-team race, finishing with 260 points. Rival Rochester Adams […]

Twice as nice

Bad news supposedly comes in pairs, but sometimes good news comes in multiples also. The Clarkston Wolves girls swim team won its second consecutive Oakland Activities Association crown, this season as a division II program. The 2005 top spot came while the school played as a division III team. The Wolves solidified its victory with […]

Outsized and outscored, Wolves ousted from playoffs

There are many things to remember when packing for a trip. One thing the Clarkston Wolves may have forgotten was the winning recipe from its previous playoff match, a 34-14 thumping of rival Lake Orion, while prepping for the more than 30-mile trek to Dakota High School in Macomb Township. The Nov. 10 regional finals […]

Wolves stand tough against Chargers

The Clarkston Wolves (13-6) have bounced back from losses all season long and its Nov. 7 contest versus Southfield Lathrup (5-14) was no different. The Wolves won the game 40-34 and completed the second season sweep of Oakland Activities Association division I opponents, having defeated the Chargers on Oct. 12. Clarkston (7-5, OAA) also defeated […]

From wolf to eagle with a pen stroke

Getting hefty issues off the docket can make for an easier time dealing with the present. This was the case for Clarkston senior Dan Owens. Owens, who turned 17 over the summer, committed to Ashland University on Nov. 9 in front of all his former coaches, from elementary up to current coach, Dan Fife as […]

Preserving the environment

Through the years, the face of Independence Township has changed, but that fa’ade could have been drastically different if not for the work of resident, former township attorney, and current consultant Gerald Fisher. Fisher, who has been practicing municipal law for nearly 35 years, has been part of important litigation in the township, helping to […]

Campaign premature, but Wilson hopes to run in ?08

An election cycle oddity has become clearer. An Independence Township resident, apparently displeased with Township Supervisor Dave Wagner, placed professional looking political signs around the township urging people to vote for David Wilson for township supervisor, a seat not up for election until 2008. Wilson, 47, is a three-year resident of the township, had the […]
