Reader reports lower gas prices in area

7-11-00

To the editor:

This is not something I want published with my name, but I wanted to let you know about gas prices. I was in Springfield yesterday (7-9-00) & the prices are just amazing!!

Qik 'n EZ (near the fairgrounds) was $1.28 per gallon as were the Freedom Station (between Sherman & Springfield) and of all things, the Phillips 66 Station near the fairgrounds (Burwells). Why are they still $1.59 in Lincoln?

Shop Lincoln? NO WAY!!!

Although I have not shopped in Clinton, I hear that their prices are in the $1.30 price range (not sure on that one). You may want to check on that.

I think the people of Lincoln should know & ask what is happening with the gas prices in Lincoln! Why should we be paying $.31 more in Lincoln than surrounding communities. Someone has a pretty good profit margin going on here!

Pleased with mayor's alderman choice 

7-7-00

To the editor:

I was so pleased to see that Mayor Ritter had appointed Rev. Shelton to Ward 4 Alderman that I called her to thank her for her superb judgement. Rev. Shelton had epitomized "Servant Leadership" over the years to both his Congregation and our Community. Mayor Ritter could not have named a more worthy servant to this Office.

The Lord Bless You

Local Fourth of July activities were great

7-6-00

To the editor:

This years 2000 Fireworks were arguably the best I have seen in our fair city. Boone Lee and Company definitely deserve high praise for this years show. I sat with my wife at the Immanuel Lutheran Church lawn enjoying popcorn and Lemonade. Thanks to Immanuel Lutheran for their hospitality and again thanks Boonie and company for a great show. See you next year.

Go see The Patriot at the Lincoln Cinema. My wife and I went to see it on the 4th. It was raining and the fireworks were cancelled so we enjoyed a great movie. What a great way to celebrate Independence Day 2000.

The Lord Bless You

Bob Wood
