High water creeps into Ohuta Park
May 3, 2018
A rising Lake Pepin laps over the Ohuta Park seawall Tuesday, May 1, depositing debris on the shore. Across the boat launch, the newer, taller seawall is visible above the high water.

Letter: Beach area planning is essential
May 3, 2018
To the editor:
It was good to see so many people at the Council workshop and meeting last Tuesday. For those not aware, numerous people spoke during the Public Forum. As one of the speakers, I think I failed to make my point clear. So I would like to clarify it here.

Letter: Leave the marina alone, again
May 3, 2018
To the editor:
Here we go again.
About every 10 years someone thinks they have a better idea for our Lake City Marina: to get rid of the summer homes, build a hotel, Disney amusement park, etc.
Leave the marina as it is. The marina doesn’t need any help. It’s Lake City’s cash cow.
Every small town...

Mar 21, 2018

My first comment is for good ole girl Donna Halverson, and her one woman battle to get Lake City to stand up and pay attention. You get a big “that a girl” from me and how I appreciate your words of wisdom related to the most valuable piece of real estate this town has and we do...
Letter: A simple formula for a beach revival
Feb 28, 2018
To the editor:
There was a time when the Lake City bathing beach resembled the water parks of today (only on a smaller scale).
The focal point was a giant wooden slide.
At first glance it almost resembled the roller coaster at the fair. Closer inspection revealed carriages that would ride a rail...
Letter: Beach rejuvenation possible, if we get off our duffs
Jan 24, 2018
To the editor:
The light at the end of a cold winter is the anticipation of warm sunny days at our beautiful beach.
