Season is a perfect time to reflect and be grateful
Apr 7, 2021
At this time of year, the world rejoices, perhaps from religious beliefs and traditions or perhaps from the simple appreciation and wonder of nature during spring renewal. Whatever one’s perspective, now is a perfect time to reflect on what is good in the world and be grateful for our many...
Hunt on democracy
Apr 7, 2021
I just want to say something about democracy:
I am more aware how fragile democracy can be. It is a very important thing we need to realize. Democracy is not a thing, it’s a living, real belief. A feeling of real freedom, respect for others and, most of all, a desire to live your life according to...

City in a pickle regarding amenities
Apr 7, 2021

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...
City should bear full cost of pickleball courts
