Letters to the Editor
2-2-00 Dear Editor: Thank you so much for LDN. I was raised in Lincoln and graduated from LCHS in 1992 and also have family here. I now live in Arthur, Ill., and like to know what's going on in my home town. From what I've seen so far, you've got a good thing going here. Keep up the good work. Michelle (LaMaster) Durbin
2-2-00 Dear Editor: As coordinator of Logan County Teen Court, I would like to take the opportunity to thank Logan County State’s Attorney Bill Workman for his tireless efforts in helping the American Legion Auxiliary get Logan County Teen Court established. Many trips to Knox County to view their Teen Court program were necessary, and Mr. Workman made those trips after work hours. He also acts as legal counsel, supplies us with judges each month for all cases, and he, himself, has been at all 29 cases we have completed thus far. He has given considerable time that involves work beyond what he does in his office on a daily basis. I wonder how many state’s attorneys would take that much time out of their after-work schedule to make this program happen and continue each month all year long. Mr. Workman believes in the program. He is committed to helping the youth in our county and has a very good rapport with each and every student involved with the program. Not only is this program of great benefit to the court system, it is also extremely important for our youth. Our community will see yet untold benefits of this program. Thanks to State’s Attorney Bill Workman, a dream has come true for me. A "Teen Court" to help teenagers in trouble has been established and is making a difference in the lives of our youth. Mrs. Dorothy Morrow
2-2-00 Dear Editor: Thanks for LDN. We enjoy reading hometown news while we're in Florida for the winter. Snowbirds
2-2-00 Dear Editor: I just wanted to thank you for your article on Teen Court. My daughter is one of the participants from Mount Pulaski High School. She really takes all of it very seriously and it has helped her to see how the system works and also how it doesn't always go like you think it should. I was surprised to hear from her how seriously the teens that have chosen to go through teen court take the proceedings. I must admit that I knew only somewhat of how it worked, but after reading your article, it was much clearer. I hope more communities initiate such programs. It is a good way to get young people involved in the community and keep on track. Thank you. Kris Cannon
2-1-00 Dear Editor: Finally! News and other items of interest without politics and prejudice by the people, for the people, and about the people of Lincoln. Concentration on Logan County news fulfills a void both online and off. Best wishes in this endeavor and I hope you continue to spread the news! Robin Keys

2-7-00 To the editor: Dean and I are pleased to see the Lincoln Daily News online! (We've been reading one of the neighboring papers on line just to try and see what all is going on back home.) We are in Northern Michigan and have been for 14 years; but want to keep up to date. Our family back home shares some...but it is good to read it right from the paper. Thanks.
