Dear Editor, My wife and I moved to Clarkston six years ago to get away from the commotion of Metro Detroit. Now it seems there are developments everywhere you look in this township. If we wanted all the amenities and traffic and commerce we would have moved to Troy or Rochester Hills. I look to […]
Dear Editor, It has been said by many that a healing process should begin after the election procedure between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. But wait a minute. Many Trump supporters are just plain provoked or angered. It was an unfair election setup. The violence and the countless negative comments of the Democratic party and several leading […]
Dear Editor, As a public health professional for the last 35 years, I have been often disappointed and, at times, appalled by some behaviors I have seen in local businesses. Primarily, I am addressing the failure to wear masks in retail stores and restaurants. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have curtailed visits to […]

Dear Editor, Thank you to the senior center and community. When I enlisted in the U.S. Army over 50 years ago, I never thought about being a veteran, just a soldier like the members of my family beginning in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, World War I, and World War […]
Dear Editor, (Regarding Nov. 9 Clarkston City Council meeting.)
