Families with FL ties feel impact of Irma
Submitted photosThe home of former Forest Lake residents Greg and Cady Lindeberg (home shown on left) was extensively damaged during the hurricane, which tore off part of the roof and flooded the interior.
Three families with Forest Lake ties and homeowners in the Florida Keys are now faced with some rebuilding following the wrath of Hurricane Irma.
Three families who live or own property in Key Colony Beach on Marathon Key, some 50 miles north of Key West, are just now starting to deal with the aftermath of the category 4 hurricane that barreled through the narrow strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico on Sept. 10.broadstreet.zone(48036);

Big changes are coming to The Times
I am, generally speaking, someone who is skeptical to the idea of change. I still remember, from sometime when I was in the rough vicinity of 10 years old, my parents telling me that they would be changing the facade of my childhood home’s fireplace from brick to stone.
“But I like the way it looks now!” I protested.broadstreet.zone(48036);
I have felt this way about change all my life. I feel it when family members or close friends move. I feel it when I visit a website I like that’s been redesigned. I especially feel it when I’m considering a big life change – including when I was deciding whether or not to leave my last job to come work at The Times.
“Things are fine the way they are,” I think to myself. “Why change?”
I write all that to assure you that I understand if your first reaction is to be skeptical

Big Carnelian public access to close this fall
The public boat access on Big Carnelian Lake near Marine on St. Croix will close for a period of time this fall to allow for major reconstruction.
The project includes improved storm water management, addition of an aquatic invasive species boat inspection and cleaning area, a new boat ramp, and new bituminous surfacing for the parking lots and the driveway to the access. Exact dates will depend on the contractor’s schedule, but work is planned to begin sometime in late September, and it should be completed by Nov. 1.broadstreet.zone(48036);
“We apologize for any inconvenience boaters may experience,” DNR Parks and Trails area supervisor Nancy Stewart said in a press release. “There’s really no ideal time for doing this kind of access rehabilitation. The fall works best for us because water levels are lowest and we avoid the busy summer season.”
Funding for the $245,000 project comes from dedicated state and federal funds used
