I am responding to the recent My Way article, “Common sense says park is better choice for OCTV home.” Generally, I have pretty thick skin and can kindly thank someone for their opinion, even if it differs from mine. But to say a decision lacked common sense and cite reasons that don’t capture the entire […]
Where the heck is Waldo? If you look at his driver’s license, you may still not know. We have lived in four places in Michigan where the addresses on our drivers licenses did not match the geographic location of our house. Why is that? The post office says it is about how postal districts are […]
Upon reading the story of the Lone Ranger in Michigan History Magazine, I was flooded with emotional memories. The school year was 1949-50. Guardian Angels School in Clawson, Michigan opened in 1948 with grades first through sixth. Now 1949, there was a new boy in our seventh grade class named Richard Hendrickson. He was just […]
In his July 5, 2017 column, Editor C.J. Carnacchio wrote about his financial loss due to yet another needless vehicle accident on M-24. I sympathize with C.J. Less than a month ago I was also involved in an accident. My vehicle was struck from behind and I not only suffer financial loss like C.J., I […]
We just celebrated one of America’s holidays – the 4th of July. What a wonderful time to remember what a fantastic country we live in and how thankful we all should feel. My husband and I celebrated the 4th with a bike ride with our son, daughter-in-law, two grandchildren and our next door neighbor. We […]
I like feeding the birds and look forward to the many varieties that appear each day. It’s relaxing and an inexpensive hobby for me. Imagine my heartbreak when I found a decapitated bird in my bird bath (probably flung there by a cat “playing” with it), or a birdhouse knocked to the ground and the […]
I would like to ask our communities help and support by in attending the Zoning Board of Appeals for Addison Township on June 8th at 6 p.m. to voice their opinion on the proposed Verizon Cell tower, 150 feet from a kindergarten school. The site they have proposed is very risky and a poor fit […]
I would like to say a few things to the people who cut through the village streets every rush hour to avoid traffic on M-24: 1) Park, Dennison and Pontiac streets were not built as a service drive so that you can avoid traffic. 2) There actually are speed limits and stop signs – might […]
I would like to give a special thanks to the Addison Township Fire Deparment and Oakland County sheriff’s deputies. Your timely response to a 9-1-1 call on Tuesday, Jan. 17 was much appreciated. It was a morning that was extremely icy and hazardous. We also value the road commission and their quick efforts to help […]
Early New Year’s Eve morning, just after midnight, my niece, Samantha Calhoun, was involved in a head on collision on M-24 near Oakwood Rd. Her Durango flipped on its side and immediately caught fire, leaving her trapped and unconscious. Several people stopped, risking their own safety, to save her. Three men have been identified, John […]
