Wide Range of Donors Support New School

Young and old, businesses and organizations, seasonal residents and full-time Crosslake dwellers all have come together to support the efforts of the Lakes Area Kids Enrichment (LAKE) Foundation to build a new school building in Crosslake.

And what an effort it’s been.

Since the Crosslake school is a charter school, it is prohibited by law from owning its own property. The LAKE Foundation launched a fund drive to build the new $7.3 million school with no property tax dollars being used. The school, which receives funding from the state, will lease the building from the Foundation. Once the loan for the facility is satisfied, the LAKE Foundation has the potential to donate excess funds back to the school and the Crosslake community.

Crosslake City Council Approves Summer Bridge Beautification Project

The Crosslake City Council dealt with a full agenda of topics at its May 14 meeting ranging from a city beautification project to pondering closing the city’s dump site residents have been using to dispose of leaves and brush from their yards.

Pat Netko, who introduced herself as a Crosslake resident, business owner and Crosslaker, presented a proposal to the Council to install six four-foot flower planters on Crosslake’s dam and Daggett bridges. The 12 planters and the plants would be purchased wholesale from North Wedge Greenhouse of Crosslake. Custom brackets to affix the planters to the bridges without using bolts have been created by Jeremy Knippel and a solar pump and panel system to automatically water the plants has been created by Sam Shirley who would do the installation of the system. The baskets would hang on the lake side of the bridges with flowers cascading over both sides of the bridge railings. The planters and solar pumps would be removed and stored in the fall.
