Ohl: She Did It

Nov 20, 2024
I have been informed by others and have come to realize it myself that even at an early age I was not good at telling a lie. It’s not that I wanted to become proficient at telling tall tales. I just found it nearly impossible to fib and get away with it as I am my own lie detector with a couple of...

Musical was well done

Nov 20, 2024
Congratulations to Amy Rogness, the cast, crew and pit orchestra of The Addams Family musical on a job well done. We are so fortunate to have such a dedicated theater department, both in the cast members and the directors. I also want to thank the cast and crew for taking the time to speak with...

Ohl: Over or Under

Nov 13, 2024
The term “over/under” is often used in gambling where the casino picks a number they feel will be the total of the points scored in a particular game. People then place bets on their post-game number being over or under the casino’s pick. However, we are not going to examine gambling. We will be...

Musical script was inappropriate for the Lake City community

Nov 13, 2024
I’m a busy college student, but I have always been excited to come home to watch whatever it is the Lake City High School theatre department is performing. I also love to support my younger brothers and friends in the shows. When I was in middle and high school, I was involved in numerous musicals...

As the closure of their shop nears, owners encourage people to shop local first

Nov 13, 2024
Wow, I respect the small shops in this town! They’re full of hardworking, creative people that I’m glad I got to know. It’s been great banding together with the Shops of Lake City and the Chamber to promote the downtown to Lake City residents and visitors. About 2 years ago, my husband and I...

Ohl: Adulting

Nov 6, 2024
All right, I will admit I was a late bloomer and during my extended path of trying to mature I often received the following advice, “David, you are acting like a kid, act your age, grow up, be an adult.” Those words are familiar to most of us, hopefully from long ago. We probably have also...

Ohl: Earworms

Oct 30, 2024
No, we are not addressing earwigs again or any other kind of bug as that topic was covered a few articles ago. But the question today is, have you ever had an infectious tune stuck in your mind? A catchy song or melody that keeps repeating itself over and over and you can’t seem to make it go away...

Someone please save the jail

Oct 30, 2024
I am very sad today. The reason is every time I see the old jail house, I realize we are about to lose it. This makes me very sad and I wish I could save it myself, but I don’t have the means to do it. We are losing too many of our charming and historic parts of Lake City! This means a lot to me....
