The resonance of history
Jul 3, 2024
History is not something to be ignored; it is the narrative of humanity. Everything and everyone has come from what we were, and so will everything that will be.
Recognizing the significance of history has made me realize its profound impact on shaping our world today. From the rise and fall of...
Ohl: The Polka Guy
Jul 3, 2024
We wheeled around the dance floor often out of control and caroming off other couples since I had not learned how to steer (lead) very well. I thought I saw excitement in my partners eyes, as we whirled and twirled around the floor, but it may have been fear. Overall, I thought I was dancing to the...

Jul 3, 2024

Why does history matter to me?
Jul 3, 2024
My mother has always been a “history buff.” I never truly understood why for quite some time. Why would she love learning about something that happened in the past? Why does she care what our ancestry is? It took years for me to find an appreciation for history and all that came with it. In my...

Like many, I was very surprised at Megan Smith’s resignation from her longtime position as Lake City’s Director of Planning and Community Development.
While I am not aware of Megan’s new position, I believe 2 things:
1. Lake City has benefited in several significant ways under her leadership.

Tiger Talk: Students at State, district finances
Jun 26, 2024
After finishing my 25th year as an educator, it is rewarding to look back on a quarter century of work dedicated to helping students grow into amazing people. Each year has been special, but my most recent year, as Lake City Schools superintendent, has been the best yet. As we send our 2024...
Ohl: Throwing for sport
Jun 26, 2024
I had tears in my eyes but thankfully didn’t cry although I had cause to. Being hit in the shin by a 2.5 pound rolling, bouncing, out of control horseshoe is a painful experience. We had the shoes because dad played in a league in Tyler with the court alongside the Big Dipper. My brother and I were...
