Dear Editor, Residents from Oxford, Lake Orion, Brandon Township, Troy, and other cities in Oakland County have been trying to get the attention of the County Board of Commissioners for nearly four months.

Dear Editor, I don’t know about many of you, but we had high hopes for this upcoming school year. Numbers of COVID cases were down, and it seemed like there was a good chance that our children could have had a relatively stable school year. Unfortunately, that is not what is happening.

Dear Editor, My name is Mary Ann Hilton. My sister-in-law Kathy Diliberti and I were driving down Lakeville Rd. on Friday the 6th at around 3 p.m., from Rochester Rd. to M-24. A Ram 1500 going in the other direction as we passed Lake George Rd. made a quick turn into the side of my […]

Dear Editor, Not everyone loves to read but libraries are so much more than stacks of books. In the past 20 years libraries have become the hub of the community in which they are located. Libraries provide safe places for working from home when the kids are rowdy, or getting tutoring time for a struggling […]
