 There was once a small town in Minnesota that year after year had an
excellent high school marching band. Traditionally, every year the
band’s summer marching season would begin with a very somber, but a
very meaningful Memorial Day service, which was held in this small
town’s lakeside park.
On this day, this band of high school students marched in a solemn drum
beat, and played choruses, marches and taps....that honored those great
Americans who had given their lives to defend and protect our country.
A real sense of purpose and pride was heard and felt by all who
attended, and it didn’t end here.

 More than 100 runners hit the trail on Thursday evening in the fourth annual OSI Fun in the Forest 5K Run at the Forest Lake Sports Center. Andrew Carlson was the overall men's winner in a time of 17:27. Heather Larson of Somerset, WI, was the first woman to cross the finish line in a time of 20:29. The race was much larger than the 2009 event when 40 runners took part in the OSI-sponsored event. All proceeds raised from the fun run will be donated to the Forest Lake Sports Center general fund.

 Lee Bakewell fires up the pontoon and shoves off from his dock on Second Lake. On this day, his trip involves no fishing poles, no grandkids with inflatable water toys. For the 66-year-old retiree, this is as close to business as it gets anymore. Within minutes, Bakewell is scanning the horizon. Gazing past the surface of Forest Lake, he keeps his eyes on the shoreline.

A schedule that had construction of a new roundabout and other road
improvements beginning right after the Fourth of July may have fizzled
out, but the downtown will be booming with heavy equipment next week.
The intersection of Broadway Ave. and Lake St. will be closed starting
Monday, July 19. The road should be open to traffic in mid-October, but
there might be some remaining work items to be completed in 2011.
