Sunday afternoon a nice crowd
turned out for the groundbreaking ceremony of the 17th home built in
Logan County by Habitat for Humanity.
The house that is being built on Decatur
Street in Lincoln will be the future home of the Harley Utterback
family. Pictures by Nila

Habitat board president Mike Irwin addressed
the crowd, welcoming everyone to the ceremony.
|
Ward 3 Alderwoman Jonie Tibbs congratulated
the Utterbacks and wished them many happy years in their new home. |
|
|
|
The Rev. Father Fontana read Scripture and
offered up prayers for the build and the family who will live in the
home.
|
Mike Kubat spoke about the construction
project and sent out a call for volunteers to come out and help. He along with Bill Sahs will lead the construction of this home. |
|
|
Steve Allen, pictured in the foreground at right, has
served as the family mentor for the Utterbacks. He will
continue to fill that position with the family even after the home
is finished and they have moved in.
|
Habitat board members were the first ones to
take up a scoop of the soil that signified the groundbreaking for
the new home.

Last of all, an invitation went out to anyone
else who wished to participate in this part of the ceremony. Among
those who did were Tonita Reifsteck, at far left, who is a member of
the local Habitat organization, and next to her Alderwoman Jonie
Tibbs. |
