Letter: Lawmakers must weigh in on healthcare cuts
Jul 20, 2017
To the editor:
Congress is soon to take another vote on health care. As I anticipate major changes to the existing Affordable Care Act (if not full repeal), I am hoping to hear from our state and federal elected officials on the real impact to us.
If significant cuts are made to Medicaid (MA...

Jul 13, 2017
To the Editor
My name is Jon Myren and I am a Wabasha County Substance Abuse Court (Drug Court) participant.
Drug Court is like a last chance program. It is a really strict program to help move people to a better, sober life.
I am thankful for the program and I don’t know where I would be if I...

Jul 13, 2017
The Lake City Woman’s Club came through again with a perfect afternoon of entertainment furnished by the Turkey River All-Stars. Patton Park proved a perfect venue for Dixie-land music and fun. A good crowd, good music, good cause and good feelings all around. What’s not to like?

What a wonderful place Lake City is to be a band director!

It is hard to believe that we have passed the half way point for the calendar year. With this in mind I am writing to provide you with a City Council update from a past, present, and future perspective. After six months on the council and as Mayor, my biggest takeaway is how impressed I am with...

The Fourth of July lands on a different day every once in a while. That is not a problem as much as it is inconvenience that must be dealt with every few years. The next time it falls inconveniently will be 2023.
The Old Curmudgeon has decided pass along this thoughtful summation of days long...
Letter: A special performance for late, great musicians

To the editor:
On Sunday, as a lot of us were gathered on South Garden Street waiting for the parade to start, the Tiger marching band came by, heading to the football field.

To the editor:
Thank you to the citizens of Lake City for your overwhelming support of our “Raise the Flag” drive to benefit the Freedom Honor Flight.

Letter: Are we allowed to doubt 'climate change'?
Jun 29, 2017
To the editor:
A recent letter to the Graphic scolded one of our local representatives for not taking “climate change” seriously. I would like to offer a counterpoint.
Note, first, that the term “global warming” is not often used anymore, possibly because global temperatures have failed to...
Letter: Teachers taught more than subject matter
Jun 29, 2017
To the editor:
Sometimes we do not see how people affect our lives until we look back and ask why we turned out the way we did. Our class had our 40th class reunion last Saturday. We were able to visit with our friends whom we had not seen for a long time. Some we had lost touch with and some we...
