Elkhart
mayor thanks everyone who helped with homecoming weekend
7-26-01
To
the editor:
Elkhart
has lots to be proud of, and this past weekend another source of
pride was brought back. The Elkhart homecoming came back to the
village, complete with a parade!!
To
all those residents of the village that worked untold hours for
several weeks, you did a superior job. The events were well
planned, the food delicious, the parade well organized and on
time, the games and entertainment enjoyed by all.
To
the participants in the parade and special events, thank you for
taking time from your day to help us celebrate ours. Your
willingness to share in the day is but another example of the
"best in small-town cooperation."
To
those who had exhibits uptown, thanks for the information and for
helping support Elkhart. To the sponsors, Graue Inc. and Illini
Bank, a special thank you for helping make the weekend possible.
Also, thanks to our local papers, both print and online, for
promoting our homecoming.
To
the visitors who came to spend part of the weekend in Elkhart, do
come back!! Better yet, why don’t you plan to move here; we’d
love to have you!
I’ve
said it before and I’ll say it again, "Elkhart is the best
village in Illinois." Thank you all.
Sincerely,
Dayle

They
thoroughly enjoyed the ‘Moon Over Buffalo’ performance

Solutions
suggested for video issue
7-20-01
Dear
Editor:
Let
me start by saying I was born and raised in Lincoln. I have not
lived there for over 25 years but do keep up with what is going
on. I am interested in the debate going on over the placement of
questionable viewing choices in the local video store.
Although
there are "more important" issues to worry about, I am
sure the readers can identify with the fact that the most
important subject to parents is the obligation they have to their
children to keep them out of harm's way.
The
videos being discussed are certainly not appropriately displayed
if they are not behind a full door. Preferably with a lock on it.
Removing them completely would be comparable to a good
old-fashioned book-burning gathering.
I
personally do not engage in this type of viewing, but I can
understand and appreciate the right a person has to do so if they
so choose. No one can dictate in this country what a person reads
or views as of yet that I know of.
I
do rent and buy movies for home viewing and have noticed that all
stores that handle X-XXX- rated movies have them in a separate
room behind a full door with a lock or padlock. The customer
wanting these movies must ask for the key or the clerk to unlock
the door for them to enter. The door automatically locks when
closed and can be opened from the inside for them to leave the
room. Some even have the entrance door to this room blocked by a
partition or wall so even with the door opening there is no chance
anyone can see in the room. Just as Playboy, Hustler, and the like
must be kept behind the counter here so as to deter underage
browsers from flipping through the pages, so should this type of
entertainment be kept in a safer, more discrete location.
Has
anyone approached the owner of this video store with a suggestion
for a solution that would make everyone happy?
Sincerely,
Teri
Dickerson Ford
