Dear Editor, I’d like to thank Clarkston Community Schools for publicly modeling best practices for mitigating the spread of COVID-19. The photos of your National Merit Scholarship semifinalists, volleyball team, Team RUSH 27, and Board of Education in the November 11 Clarkston News demonstrate care and responsibility for the health of our community. Sincerely, Cheryl […]
Dear Editor, I must take exception to some of Clarkston Mayor Haven’s comments about the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit the city lost in the Michigan Supreme Court. My law firm represented Susan Bisio in that suit. Haven says the documents the city fought so hard to keep secret were “never viewed by any city […]
Dear Editor, At the national level, there has been lots of talk about a concession speech following the election. I had never run for mayor before and never lost an election when I ran for council in the past so I’m not sure what the proper local protocol is. Just in case I am supposed […]
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.) I would like to apologize to Clarkston City Manager Jonathan Smith for my email which should have been critical of Independence Television for the delay in the recording of the October 26 council meeting not being available to the public until 10 days after the council […]

Let’s continue to focus on being thankful […]
Dear Editor, Good news! Well, actually GREAT news! The Garden Club received a call over the weekend from a Clarkston resident who, on her morning run, found three of the four stolen Charlie Brown signs! My confidence in the goodness of people is restored! And an especially HUGE thank you to The Clarkston News for […]
Dear Editor, I’m writing on behalf of the Clarkston Farm & Garden Club. This past week, the Garden Club prepared the planters along Main Street for the upcoming holiday season. Included were signs of Charlie Brown for the Charlie Brown Christmas trees. Unfortunately, within a few days, four of the signs were stolen along with […]
Dear Editor, I understand why Ashley and Bryan Klein feel they have been treated badly in the manner in which they say Fort Clarkston virtually ignored their request to return their $150 deposit for family fun after Fort Clarkston owner Pam Rush ceased operations in March. Rush lamented the lack of sympathy shown to her […]
Dear Editor, This letter is in response to Independence Township Supervisor Pat Kittle and his single waste hauler article (Township Times, Oct. 14, 2020). How rude of Pat Kittle to direct his thoughts on a single waste hauler for the township to “those who currently dispose of their trash in a neighboring business’s commercial dumpster […]
