Dear Editor, I was very disappointed and saddened by Matt Mackinder’s “What ‘Matt’ers” article on December 9, “Stop the complaints.” As a parent and community member, I am concerned for our children’s health and education. The attitude that there’s a pandemic and there’s nothing we can do is lazy and unfair to our children. The […]
Dear Editor, In regards to your “opinion piece” of “Stop the complaints,” I find it ironic that you include “credibility” in the bottom of your recent piece. Matt, you mention this as if you have any credibility of anything to do with Clarkston when in the moment your fingers began typing, you completely lost yours. […]
Dear Editor, Kudos to the staff at the Clarkston Independence District Library for the excellent curbside service they are providing during the pandemic. A definite asset to our community! Sincerely, Ken Lemieux Independence Township
Dear Editor, I often ask the residents of Independence Township why they think the planning commission and the township board members don’t seem to be working for them or protecting the residents when it comes to new developments in the community.

Upon hearing of the availability of these documents, I obtained my own copy. After reading them, I […]
Dear Editor, Just wanted to write a short note to recognize Clarkston City Manager Jonathan Smith and his wife, Toni, for adding to the Christmas spirit in downtown Clarkston. The Smiths have added a fully decorated Christmas tree at the northwest corner of Washington and Main. This was done at their own expense and time. […]
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 […]
