Letter: Let’s complete the four-lane initiative
Jul 12, 2018
To the editor:
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, I was very sad the day that your father retired. I enjoyed his articles. I think of you and your dad every time I ride my 10-speed bike from Lake City to Wabasha and back on Highway 61.

To the Editor:
Hey Lake City, I’ve been meaning to write since I moved here last fall, but what I saw here June 20 blew me away and I had to write.

Letter: Memorial Day change made for accessibility and comfort
Jun 7, 2018
To the editor:
In reference to last week’s letter to the editor that Memorial Day should be held outside, we wish to explain why the decision was made to hold it indoors.
It takes a lot of effort from a lot of people to make it happen outdoors. Jim Klennert has to haul chairs down from the school...

Letter: Not from here
Jun 7, 2018
Year after year new people move to Lake City. They are welcomed with open arms by churches and social groups until they suggest change.
