Graphic courtesy of the city of Forest LakeThis chart shows some projected 2018 city tax bills for different values of commercial and residential property in Forest Lake under the city’s preliminary levy, based on current projections of property value increases.
The Forest Lake City Council approved the city’s preliminary levy for 2018 at its Sept. 11 meeting. Once the preliminary levy is set, it cannot be raised higher than that amount when the final budget is approved in December. It can only fall or stay the same.
The council unanimously signed off on a total levy of $10.05 million, compared to a final levy of $9.48 million for 2017. Though the increase between next year’s preliminary levy and this year’s final levy is approximately 6 percent, most property owners’ tax increases will likely be considerably smaller than that, thanks to rising property values and new property value added in the city.broadstreet.zone(48036);

George W. Bowers passed away on September 9, 2017 at the age of 93, at his home in Wayzata with his daughters present. His wife of 65 years, Opal Bowers, preceded him in death on February 26, 2013. They will be laid to rest together as was their desire.
George was born in Beulah, ND, on August 2, 1924, where he graduated from high school. After high school he worked in construction before joining the military as WWII was underway. He was a member of the 247th Engineer Construction Battalion where he was a Staff Sergeant. His military experience brought him to Omaha Beach on D-Day, through Europe and finally the Battle of the Bulge, building bridges over the Rhine for General Patton’s invasion of Germany.
He returned home to Brooklyn Park, MN where his father had moved the family. It was there that he met the love of his life, Opal

Submitted photoWhen the Harder family returned to their home in Beaumont, Texas after Hurricane Harvey, their possessions were destroyed or in disarray after five feet of water entered the house.
 
The Harder family lives in Beaumont, Texas. When they evacuated their home as Hurricane Harvey approached in late August, they knew their house would be damaged, but they didn’t expect to lose virtually every possession except for the clothes and food they packed into their two cars before driving off to see a friend.broadstreet.zone(48036);
“We just assumed that if we did get some water, we would maybe get two feet or so, so we put everything up high on the beds,” Jessica Harder said.
By Aug. 30, however, flash flooding had ripped through Beaumont, and a neighbor who had entered the Harders’ neighborhood on jetski sent them pictures of their house. The worst had happened.
“[Water] was covering the garage door completely,” Jessica said.

Scandia Reporter
On Aug. 15, after lengthy discussion the Scandia City Council approved a landscaping and design plan for the veterans memorial at Lilleskogen Park.broadstreet.zone(48036);
The Parks and Recreation Committee recommended council approval for a landscaping design that would incorporate 10 common milkweed plants so the park could be designated an official monarch butterfly way station. Monarch butterflies seek out milkweed plants as a place to lay their eggs – ultimately, the caterpillars feed on the plants. It was recommended that the milkweed not be introduced near the veterans memorial as the height of the plants was a concern.
“The goal of the Veterans Committee was to have a nice sight line that doesn’t obstruct view into the memorial,” Parks and Recreation Committee Chair Ryan Jinks said.
The concern for the butterfly feature at the park is that it might encroach on the memorial.
“It should be mostly about creating a memorial and not
