This beautiful flag is artwork by West Lincoln-Broadwell students and has been given to American Legion Post 263 in Lincoln. The blue backdrop for our nation's 50 stars and the red stripes are handprints of children in kindergarten through fourth grade, and every student in the school signed the flag. The Legion will have the flag mounted and covered with Plexiglas so that it can be on display in their hall for years to come.

Beverly Buhrmester captured on camera the controlled burn that took place at Kickapoo Creek Park on Monday morning. Park staff waited for ideal conditions and notified the fire department before burning began. Gentle and steady 10-15 mph out of the south was right for this southeast segment of prairie located at the front of the park. A team of five men set a backfire that first burned a containing swath along the south edge. Then the primary fire was set along the west edge. Rapidly spreading flames rolled eastward, moving faster than a person can walk, burning the entire segment in an awe-inspiring time of less than 15 minutes.
