Tragedy struck when a 10-year-old Clear Lake boy died as the result of an accidental discharge of a pellet gun during an outing Sunday afternoon, Aug. 14.

The incident happened at a shooting range in Garner, Iowa.

Authorities report Cade Hartwig, son of Tom and Heather Hartwig,  was with relatives at a shooting range designated for law enforcement when he was unintentionally struck by a pellet gun.

The Clear Lake City Council voted to proceed with its Main Street sidewalk replacement project, despite hearing complaints from those opposed to continuing to use brick pavers.  All those objecting to the plan said they recognized the need for the project, but favored either concrete walkways trimmed with brick pavers, or different pavers which would result in a more flat finish.
