Dear Editor, In her recent letter to the editor (“CCS not taking the proper actions,” January 27, 2021, Clarkston News), Melissa Sanders chastises the leadership of Clarkston Community Schools for what she views as its failure to speak out against the early January assault against the U.S. Capitol. Ms. Sanders cites the absence of outrage […]
Dear Editor, This letter is regarding the controversy on the U.S. Capitol of Jan. 6, 2021.The tragic events of that day do not represent the peaceful views of the American people, but they do indicate the happening of a brewing storm that must be remedied. As I have been told many times, and simply stated, […]
To the CCS School District, My children went to school in the district years ago, and I am writing you to let you know how disappointed I am in your recent responses to current events. Please let me explain. Three weeks ago, there was a deadly terrorist attack in Washington D.C., and Clarkston Community Schools […]
Dear Editor, (In response to the Don’t Rush Me column, “All’s quiet on the Michigan front (or is it?),” from the January 20, 2021 edition of The Clarkston News.) Yes, it’s quiet for now, but it likely won’t last long! Your comments made me momentarily nostalgic, but the reality is we’ve never really had a […]
Dear Editor, Why are all the “advertised” ways to receive or register for the vaccine not working? The State of Michigan website did not accept my application when properly filled out. Oakland County did accept my application but there doesn’t seem to be any vaccine available. This morning (Jan. 22), I saw an ad on TV […]

We are frequent diners, and we look forward to going out to dinner and don’t mind sitting in a tent, which Kruse had made very comfortable. We were there on Tuesday, January 5, and were […]

In that letter, Ms. Cord-Duthinh stated, “The Maddocks organized busloads of Michiganders to travel to Washington to riot and attempt to disrupt the peaceful transition […]
Dear Editor, Recently, my TV and radio has been flooded with sport betting commercials by numerous vendors promoting online and casino sports betting with such ferocious intensity it left me wondering where all of this started, and why? Upon further examination, you’ll find the Republican state legislature is to blame for introducing and then passing a […]
Dear Representative Schroeder, Thank you for your statement (January 6) that “Breaking and entering are illegal. And breaking and entering into OUR nation’s Capitol Building is unacceptable. The violent protesters who breached the capitol in Washington DC are un-American and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” I completely agree and support […]
Dear Editor, Donald Trump’s tenure as perhaps the most corrupt and divisive “president” in history is quickly coming to a humiliating close, but Congress still must not fail to address his conduct through impeachment. Sadly, though, we see many of Trump’s GOP enablers feigning concern and even outrage at the result of his most recent […]
