Dear Editor, Some people are blaming violent behavior on mental illness and/or video games. These statements are totally false, scientifically and logically. I am a retired counselor who has been monitoring the issue of the relationship between video games and violence for over 50 years, and the results of scientific data has changed very little. […]
Dear Editor, The Independence township “road improvement” millage was presented to voters by township officials as the “solution” to fixing the township/county road problems that we were told were in desperate need of repair. If passed, we were told, the township and the RCOC would have the money to move forward to get prioritized township/county […]
Dear Editor, Last week’s article “City considers classic sign style” got me thinking.

I learned much from Phil Custodio’s insightful article that also reaffirmed the special charm of Clarkston. The gracious […]
