Dear Editor, Last week in this space, the Clarkston News editor again proved the age-old adage that newsprint cares not that which is printed upon it (“A call for action on impeachment,” Nov. 20). Many ungracious comments were written about the 45th president of our country, a man elected by 63 million Americans. Throughout the […]

Everyone supports the fight against breast cancer; that fact is indisputable. But, the pink ribbon bandwagon may be slowing down as more and more women are saying “stop” – stop to the cutesy slogans and the ocean of pink paraphernalia available for purchase and profit every year in October.

Dear Editor, Early Monday morning as this is written (Oct. 7), again I awake to darkness this week. It seems a tree has fallen in a DTE right of way serving my neighborhood. My neighbors and I have for decades asked, cajoled, and yes, begged DTE to clear the trees in their easement. So, dear […]
