              with mayor's alderman choice  
              7-7-00 
              To
              the editor: 
              I
              was so pleased to see that Mayor Ritter had appointed Rev. Shelton
              to Ward 4 Alderman that I called her to thank her for her superb
              judgement. Rev. Shelton had epitomized "Servant
              Leadership" over the years to both his Congregation and our
              Community. Mayor Ritter could not have named a more worthy servant
              to this Office.

              Lord Bless You

              the editor: 
              This
              years 2000 Fireworks were arguably the best I have seen in our
              fair city. Boone Lee and Company definitely deserve high praise
              for this years show. I sat with my wife at the Immanuel Lutheran
              Church lawn enjoying popcorn and Lemonade. Thanks to Immanuel
              Lutheran for their hospitality and again thanks Boonie and company
              for a great show. See you next year. 
              Go
              see The Patriot at the Lincoln Cinema. My wife and I went to see
              it on the 4th. It was raining and the fireworks were cancelled so
              we enjoyed a great movie. What a great way to celebrate
              Independence Day 2000.
