‘Aggressive forever’

BY WENDI REARDON PRICE Clarkston News Sports Writer The Wolves eschewed a chance at a tie and went all in for the win in the final seconds of the State Championship at Ford Field, Saturday, but fell short by a single point. Long-time Head Coach Kurt Richardson wouldn’t have had it any other way. “We […]

Wendi’s Word: By your leave

I have said it before and I will say it again – there’s nothing like being at a Clarkston game. It leaves you with a great feeling – the crowd is cheering and rallying behind their team. The excitement from the fans and the players can be felt throughout the game but even more so […]

Wendi’s Word: Words for November

I couldn’t take the political ads anymore as I sat in the parking lot while our toddler slept in the back seat last Friday at Al Deeby. I pushed play on the CD and didn’t think anything about it again. My husband drove off in my vehicle and I drove off in the fixed lease. […]

Wendi’s Word: Trick or treat

With a whirl of brisk wind, fall is here and Halloween is quickly approaching. Too quickly as I haven’t officially gotten a costume for my toddler son. We have done a few festive events already. He was Chewbacca for his friend’s Halloween themed birthday party. It came down to we had wookie pajamas and a […]

Wendi’s Word: Hopes for happy retirements

Within the last month, we have seen a few Clarkston legends retire as Voice of the Wolves Dale Ryan and long-time head coach for Clarkston Boys Varsity Basketball Dan Fife stepped down for more time with family, especially the grandkids. Both will truly be missed. Listening to Ryan at home football and basketball games was […]

Wendi’s Word: Barbies find new home

For many, the school bell ringing marked the end of summer, not only in Clarkston but the district I live in. As my son hasn’t turned 3-years-old and isn’t in preschool yet, to me the end of summer isn’t marked by the beginning of school. The beginning of fall sports marks where summer ends as […]

Wendi’s Word: Cleaning up the past

The purge of 2018 continues. Slowly, as everything is in the garage and those hot days slow down the pace, but it continues. I did make it through the box marked “things valuable to me” by a younger me, years ago. It did have Strawberry Shortcake figures. It also had an incomplete wooden set for […]

Wendi’s Word: Time to purge

Nothing ages you more than receiving the notification on social media for an upcoming event for your high school reunion. It’s the big two decades for my class. Right now, my past is very much alive in our garage after visiting the storage unit. At least a mix of cardboard boxes and plastic containers are […]

Wendi’s Word: Hello spring!

The brisk cold is finally gone and people have emerged from their houses with a tinge of cabin fever. It’s nice to finally say to our 2-year-old son as he gazes out the window, “go get your shoes and we will go outside.” It’s even nicer when he goes to get them before you even […]

Wendi’s Word: Vacation station

It’s in the books – we have embarked on the first family vacation as we headed west to California, the first week of April. I have never gone anywhere on spring break, not even during high school or college years. I spent the time getting extra hours in at work to earn money. Times have […]
