Lazy
Row resident disapproves of zoning change
2-6-01
Dear
editor:
How
is that the Logan County Board can favor one individual and ignore
the petition of almost 1,000 people? How is that a township board
voted against the rezoning of agriculture land to commercial, the
appeals board voted against it, and yet in one County Board
meeting, it passed? They also just recently ignored a petition of
2,000-some signatures wanting changes made.
I
thought elected officials work for the many, not for one. Guess I
was mistaken.
Listen
folks, if it happened in one township, what makes you think it
won't happen in yours?
In
regard to Mr. Mahler’s comment that we on Lazy Row would
"get used to it," well, forget it. The concrete has been
poured, the mobile home is there. With the metal tower with its
blinding flashing lights, guy wires and a brightly lit parking
lot, the pleasing country landscape is getting uglier by the
minute. What was once a wonderful view has been corrupted.
Frankly, I'll never "get used to it." I won't be
listening to the station, and I won't be voting for those who
voted for this change of my neighborhood.

thanks Kroger

Dear
editor:
The
Lincoln Kroger store has set up a program to reward all students
that make the honor roll at Lincoln Junior High School. Each
student is given a certificate for a free food item and when it is
redeemed they are entered into a drawing for a larger prize. Last
quarter each honor student received one dozen cookies, and one
lucky person won a CD player.
Annette
Hinman and Janice Greer were instrumental in setting up this
program. I would like to thank them for their efforts to get this
program up and running. It's great to see Kroger supporting the
efforts of our youth.
Sincerely,
Kim

Dear
editor:
Congratulations
on your one-year anniversary. Since my family and I moved to
Colorado Jan. 2, we have kept up on Lincoln news through your
publication. It is very well-written, very user-friendly and gives
us a taste of home.
Of
course, I especially like all the positive articles on the local
schools. Anything about Washington-Monroe will always be dear to
my heart. Keep up the praise for all the kids in "your"
community.
Again,
happy anniversary! We will continue to view your publication.

To
the editor:
I
would like to thank the men who contacted us regarding our lost
dog, Lexie. Lexie was found in Lawndale because of your calls. She
was tired from her two-day adventure, but unharmed. I enjoy
knowing there are caring "dog lovers" in our community.
Thanks again.
