Things appear down by the water

May 5, 2021
With temperatures in the 80s on Saturday, the lake and lakeshore saw a lot of activity. At Roschen Park, boaters encountered a “Clean, Drain, Dry, and Dispose” (CD3) trailer that gives boaters the opportunity to “clean, drain, dry, and dispose their aquatic equipment and help stop the spread of...

Letter: Fundraising to replace pickleball, tennis courts sets bad precedent

Apr 28, 2021
I want to encourage the Council to reverse their decision to require a 50-50 match to replace the tennis/pickleball courts. I have been coming to Lake City for over 25 years, renting a slip in your lovely marina for sailing. The tennis courts were a great asset. Fifteen years ago we bought a...

Novak seeking public input on backyard chickens

Apr 28, 2021
When my husband and I established our Nextdoor community back in 2018 the very first issue that made me perk up and think about running for public office was the overwhelming desire for backyard chickens.

Biscuit: Dog park a paws-itive benefit

Mar 31, 2021
Woof! Woof! My name is Biscuit Nelson and I am a Therapy Dog who enjoys working and living in Lake City. I heard that a public dog park is being considered in town. It would be a wonderful area for me and my friends to run, play and socialize. A few of my dog friends have owners who are senior...

City should bear full cost of pickleball courts

Mar 31, 2021
I do not understand why the Lake City City Council decided not to pay for the total replacement of the pickleball courts. The city stole the playing area for another purpose. Pickleball, a fun, recreational game named after a dog – Pickles, is played all over the United States. But I guess not in...

Pickleball is for all ages

Mar 31, 2021
I am writing to question some inconsistencies contained in the March 18 article entitled, “Council pickleball offer follows recent trend.” The article describes how pickleball is played and that courts are required. Tennis courts can be used and the courts in Lake City were a welcome benefit for...

Back in chambers, just for one day

Mar 24, 2021
With a short agenda that included a closed session, the Lake City City Council met in its chambers at city hall for the first time in more than a year on Monday, March 22. Six of the seven city council members were in attendance. And to keep socially distanced, only four sat on the dais. Council...

Calm before a busy time at Lake City Marina

Mar 24, 2021
The outer harbor at Lake City Marina was serene Tuesday, with calm water replacing the recently-melted winter ice. But in a few weeks the area will be a hive of activity. Work to put a new deck on the marina’s 800 dock began before ice-out. It’s on schedule to be completed by May 10, according to...
