Domestic
violence no longer
acceptable as ‘family affair’
[JULY
21, 2000] The
message was clear – domestic violence is no longer just a
family affair. It’s a community problem, and one that a number of
organizations in Logan County are working to solve. To raise
awareness, members of the Lincoln Police Department, a former
assistant state’s attorney, mental health professionals and an
abuse victim talked to an audience of about 30 Thursday night at the
Johnston Center for the Performing Arts at Lincoln College.

Major
league report:
Midterm grades
[JULY
21, 2000] A
few months ago this LDN reporter made some bold predictions about this
year’s major league baseball season, and amazingly some of them have
actually come true! This
proves once again, conclusively, that if you make enough predictions
you might actually stumble on a correct one every once in a while.
Needless to say, it has been an exciting campaign so far.
The St. Louis Cardinals are in first place by seven games over
the Cincinnati Reds, and the Chicago White Sox have a double-digit
lead over the Cleveland Indians in their respective Central Divisions.
The Chicago Cubs managed to keep Sammy Sosa on board and hope
to turn things around during the second half of the year.
This week the LDN gives you a mid-season look at how the season
has shaped up so far and what you might expect in the second half.
