Congratulations
to Josh Davenport. Josh has won the $500 drawing at
Lincoln Daily News. Josh says it is his wife Emily's birthday next
week and they are also going on vacation so the money will come in
handy. Josh and Emily have a little girl named Avery and they also
have an extra $500 just by reading Lincoln Daily News.

Get
in the spirit of things this weekend. From cemetery walks in
Emden to a "ghostwalk" in downtown Lincoln and a day to visit the
historic Mill, there is plenty of nostalgia, history and perhaps
something that goes bump in the night this weekend. For complete
information on all of these events, just stop by our community
calendar by clicking here.

Travel Soccer -- This is a coed travel soccer team for children
12-14 years old who are willing to train hard twice a week with
coach Steve Foster and travel on Saturday mornings to play other
YMCA teams from Springfield. There will be nine weeks of soccer,
with an option to play in a culminating, two-day tournament. Regular
registration ends Aug. 7. Call 735-3915 for more information.
Got a good piece of news, information or
something that we can all brag about? If you do, e-mail Mike and let
us tell everyone about it. Plus you can win cash. Every submission,
whether we use it or not, will get your name in the "Close Up" grab
bag. At the end of the month we will draw a name and someone will
get $25 just for dropping us an e-mail. If you wish, we will be
happy to donate your winnings to the organization of your choice.
