Lincoln Odd Fellow and Rebekah Lodges #204 recently purchased D.A.R.E. shirts for the Lincoln Police Department. D.A.R.E. officers stopped by the Grand Lodge Office on Wyatt Ave to pick up the shirts. Officer Christy Fruge’ (right) and Officer Miles Craig (left) are shown accepting the shirts for the 2014-2015 D.A.R.E. program from Janis Klockenga of the LOF/RL. The shirts will be utilized in the D.A.R.E. program this coming year. Officer Fruge’ said the donation is greatly appreciated and will allow D.A.R.E. budget money to be used on other things, such as a trip to the ballpark in Peoria for the D.A.R.E. students.

Two new Red Wolves, a male and female, are settling into their new home at Miller Park Zoo.  “Elohi” (Cherokee for “of the earth”), the two-and-a-half-year-old male pictured above, came from Chehaw Wild Animal Park in Albany, Georgia. The female arrived from Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, Washington.  The female has yet to be named.  The zoo is giving the community the opportunity to vote for their favorite name on the Miller Park Zoo’s Facebook page.
