Editor’s Note: This is the second of a two-part series in honor of our Lake City veterans. Part I appeared last week to commemorate Veterans Day and the centennial observance of Armistice Day that ended the First World War.

Election 2018: Alkire, Brown and Boe elected to city council
Nov 8, 2018
Voters in Lake City may have made history Tuesday night.
When newly-elected council members Amy Kohrs Alkire and Faye Brown join Cindy McGrath and Mary Lou Waltman on the council in January, women will be the majority of the council, perhaps for the first time.

Consent vote signals growing council support for Hwy. 61 project
Nov 1, 2018
In one sense, the Lake City City Council’s 6-1 vote to give municipal consent to the final layout changes for the Highway 61 three-lane conversion on Monday, Oct. 29, was routine.

Oct 25, 2018
To the editor:
Having been out of town for a couple weeks, I just finished previous issues of The Graphic.

Mayor: City has been diligent on Marina Point issues
Oct 25, 2018
To the editor:
In response to the group letter from a number of Lake City’s summer residents who have trailers on the city-owned Marina Point, I fully recognize your concern about the plan for the renewal of Ohuta Park area.
First and foremost, the City and most of its residents thoroughly...
Letter: City is considering relocation, not removal, of point trailers
Oct 25, 2018
To the editor:
The letter to the editor submitted by a group of Marina Point residents last week was misleading and not factual as it related to the plan for Marina Point and Ohuta Park.
I can clarify the information as I am currently on the Council that is addressing the issue of the beach house...
Letter: Do it right, and do it soon
Oct 18, 2018
To the editor:
Here’s more from the sidelines.
First off, after last week’s paper I wish to address the negative feelings on all of the already-approved projects. Let’s quit kicking the sleeping dog and move forward regardless so people are allowed to have their opinions on anything they want.
So...
Halvorson: The Play Park
Oct 18, 2018
Some of my favorite memories are time spent at the play park. We lived just a few blocks away and spent many fun filled days on the swings and rings.
Looking back I always pictured the play park as being larger than it is today. The other day I came across some pictures of my grandparents taken...
