and his wife, Diane, plan to make their home in the Lincoln area. They
have four grown children.
"We
are excited about having someone with the depth of experience that Mr.
Krueger brings to Zion," noted Dave Opperman, chairman of Zion’s
parochial school board. "We are also pleased about his love for
students as evidenced by his desire to continue to teach part-time
while fulfilling his administrative duties as principal. He believes
that it is important for administrators to be in the classroom on a
regular basis."
Krueger
replaces Robert Boyd, who served as principal for nine years and has
relocated to Fort Wayne, Ind., to serve as principal at Concordia
Lutheran School there.
Zion
Lutheran is recognized by the state of Illinois and is accredited by
the National Lutheran School Accreditation Board. It is one of 994
Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod elementary schools in the country.
Zion has over 200 students in preschool through eighth grade, with a
few openings left for this fall. Call the school at 732-3977 for more

I
have been increasingly dissatisfied with the current mayor’s
approach in resolving issues that affect the city of Lincoln and the
city council. Too many times the city council has had to make quick
decisions on important issues because information was kept secret for
too long. Because I have been an alderman for more than seven years,
serving on every committee and holding the positions of chairman of
ordinance and zoning, insurance, and finance, I feel that it is
important that the mayor be in the position to facilitate the
activities of the council instead of ruling it

After
constant urging from my friends and constituents, I have decided to
make an early announcement of my candidacy for mayor in the city of
Lincoln. By doing this I hope that the citizens of Lincoln will be
relieved to know that they will have a choice in the next election

The
two parties have been meeting for over a year, but no new meetings are
scheduled at this time.
According
to the union’s press release, the Board of Health’s contract
proposals have been unacceptable because of language regarding working
