Lake of the Ozarks Daily Digest Tuesday, May 26, 2026
Ty's Take
Five people hurt when a boat clips a submerged log, a restaurant gutted by fire overnight, and another reminder that the lake we love can turn on us fast—that's this week around the water. The good news is buried in here too, though: we've got dock builders solving real problems, a scholarship program actually training young people for the marine trades instead of watching them leave, and folks like our local bugler still carrying forward the kind of service that built this country. That's Lake of the Ozarks in a nutshell—danger and opportunity sitting right next to each other, waiting on us to choose which one we're going to lean into.
