DSO finalist

Clarkston High School is one of seven finalists to host the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in September.
Online voting is now open at dso.org/DTEPowersDSO.
“The DSO has been here twice,” said Joette Kunse, who nominated CHS. “It is well attended and good for the youngsters of the community, who many times don’t have the opportunity to hear such a world class orchestra. It just makes Clarkston such a great place to live with such opportunities.”
DSO will perform four free concerts at the winning schools, from Sept. 23-25. They will be conducted by DSO Assistant Conductor Michelle Merrill.
Voting is open through Wednesday, July 20.

Pothole repairs

The work includes cleaning out and filling potholes with gravel mixed with asphalt. The road will remain open, with flaggers directing traffic.
The work is weather dependent and should be completed in November.
