					Among 
			the park improvement ideas presented to the Lincoln City Council by 
			Lincoln Park District Executive Director Abby O'Brien Tuesday night 
			was one for a splash pad at Melrose Park in Lincoln. 
			 
			O'Brien presented several ideas to the council that can be made to 
			four of the city's parks, if the city transfers ownership of the 
			parks to the park district, and if the district is able win park 
			improvement grants to fund the projects. 
			 
			LDN has more detailed coverage of these ideas in today's edition.

				strong winds then carrying iron vapour to the cooler night-side 
				of the planet where it condenses into iron droplets, is seen in 
				an illustration released by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) 
				on March 11, 2020. To the left of the image, we see the evening
