						This 
						week a massive crane lifted large steel I-beams to the 
						dome's base at the Logan County Courthouse. Recent 
						inspections showed that there are structural issues that 
						needed to be addressed by adding the new I-beams.  
						 
						Lincoln Daily News has more photos and summary of the 
						work at the courthouse in today's edition.

								“It is always 
								best when witnessing an incident that needs 
								reporting to report it as soon as possible. For 
								example, reckless driving, suspicious person, 
								fireworks/gunshots, etc. When doing so, make 
								sure you provide as much information as 
								possible, such as vehicle make, model, color, 
								license plate, clothing descriptions, number of 
								individuals involved, direction of travel, 
								location, or address of the incident. This helps 
								assure that we can get an officer where they are 
								needed as quickly and safely as possible, as 
								well as help them find the responsible party as 
								soon as possible to resolve the incident. " |
