Thanks for articles, public action
on bird problem in Mayfair

9-7-00

To the editor:

September 6, 2000

Just a note to thank you, Joan Crabb, for the good articles you wrote about the" Bird Situation" in the Mayfair Addition here in Lincoln. It is a serious health situation and we are thankful Mayor Ritter and the City Council acted so quickly on this matter. As you know the program starts tonight and my husband Wilmer and I are anxious to get rid of the problem birds in the area. On behalf of the residents of Mayfair, my husband and I want to especially thank our Alderman Mike Montcalm and Joe Stone. They worked very hard to get this ordinance amended so that something could be done quickly. Wilmer and I also want to thank the residents of Mayfair for their strong support on this issue. Without their help we wouldn't have been successful...

Thanks again,

Wilmer and Patricia Birk

Texan responds to commentary about liquor licenses, senior citizen programs

9-1-00

To the editor:

Here in deep South Texas we have OPEN city meetings on items such as these. You are right, he said, she said will be opinionated due to the "interests" of each incidvidual. Local residents elect local officials and the last I heard "WE THE PEOPLE" still govern.

Ok, so that is bull. Even though we have the open meetings here in Texas, the politicians go ahead and do what they want anyway. I believe it will be the same there.

The above statements in no way reflect on Lincoln's city rulers nor on it's community, I think the same goes on everwhere throughout our States.

Very interesting article through and I look forward to the responses.

Newcomer wants to get acquainted
with community issues

9-1-00

To the editor:

Hello,

Great job!!! We are new to the community. Actually we haven't moved to Lincoln yet. We don't close on our house until the end of September. Your online paper is a great way for me to get to know the community and some of the issues.

Please continue to bring to light any community issues that deserve attention. Do you have any ideas or issues that may be able to cultivate interest in the minds of my civics students?
