(In response to Board doing their homework, a letter by Diane Salter, The Citizen, May 16, page 10). Letter unprofessional, disrespectful Dear Editor, It is with concern that I read the article from Brandon Schools Board President. As an educator for 40 plus years I found the letter to be unprofessional and not fitting of […]
Demand change Dear Editor, After attending the meeting of the Brandon School Board this week, I can’t help but feel the wave of disappointment that has come over our community. The meeting was both heartwarming and heartless, simultaneously. Many parents and tax payers spoke the truth about what the school board is doing to our […]
Real, objective solutions Dear Editor, I have been reading the ongoing discussion that originally was about gun control. When all is said and done sir, the issue isn’t about what you know about guns. Or what this person or that person does not. It’s about the safety of the public and our precious children and […]

Arming teachers bad idea Dear Editor I am a middle school student who is concerned about the recent school shootings and threats that have been happening. In my opinion arming teachers is a bad solution because in an active school shooting police will not know where teachers located that are armed and a teacher may […]
A well-regulated militia Dear Editor, I’d just like to take a moment and thank the people who have written in to “The Citizen” recently supporting my views on the subject of Gun Control. Thank You Ken Davis Sr., Lisa Ksiazek, Walt Dilfer and Scott Bills. My apologies if I missed anyone else. Your support and […]
Thank you Dear Editor, We would like to say a special thank you to the Village Funeral Home and staff for the wonderful job they did for us on our father James King’s funeral.

O.A.T.S. thank you Dear Editor, We would like to thank the people of the Ortonville area for their tremendous support for our first annual Easter Egg Hunt held on March 24 at the O.A.T.S. farm. We didn’t know how many people to expect and we were truly amazed and gratified that over 400 people came […]
