Halvorson: A Fair Farewell
Aug 15, 2018
The Minnesota State Fair has been a major event. Much different than when we were young.
My aunt was the switch board operator at the fair. She always made sure we got tickets.
It doesn’t seem possible that one switchboard handled the whole fair. The fair as I remember it was not much more than...
Letter: Seeing the beach with fresh eyes
Aug 15, 2018
To the editor:
My family and I have lived in Lake City for over 40 years. In all those years we drove by Ohuta Park and the beach area many times and never really gave it much thought.
I do a lot of walking what with walking to work for many years a distance of three miles round trip. When I...
Letter: Beach improvements will be well worth all the hard work
Aug 15, 2018
To the editor:
I’m back for round three and comments from the sidelines.
First off another “that a girl” Donna H. Maybe between us we can push to get our beach areas to be actually rock and scrap metal and glass free. It’s too bad we can’t get more locals to add their three cents on ideas or...
Sen. Goggin: New laws help rape victims, seniors
Aug 15, 2018
Think rape victims should know more about the status of their case?
Think child care is too expensive? Or that it’s too hard for providers to stay in business?
Tired of people scamming the system by using fake service animals?

Letter: Make Aug. 14 count
Aug 8, 2018
To the editor:
Next Tuesday’s election is stacking up to be one of the more exciting primaries in recent memory and, in fact, may be more important than the November general election.
Why?
Because there are:
• Five DFLers and three Republican candidates facing off for the two slots in the governor...
Letter: Thanks for a great summer of reading
Aug 8, 2018
To the editor:
With the end of summer nearing, I want to take time to thank all of the families who joined in the fun of summer reading at the library. We had over 150 kids participate this year, and we had a wonderful time traveling around the world through books and music!
The most exciting part...

Halvorson: Scattered by war, family stays connected
Aug 8, 2018
It all started when my grandparents discovered the Lyon Hotel back in 1926.
Six girls–all with Type A personalities–often sparked heated debates. When the noise level reached a certain point Mom stepped in.
