‘Let’s
clean up our city’
6-9-01
To
the editor:
I
would like to take this opportunity to voice my opinion on a few
issues. The statue of Abraham Lincoln might be a good idea;
however, I think we should be more concerned about the way our
city looks. We have so many old buildings that need to be torn
down and cleaned up. It seems to me the big issues of this town
are overlooked.
What
happened to our yearly cleanup? Towns like Atlanta and Clinton
have yearly cleanups, and they have a smaller population than our
town.
A
friend of mine received a letter from Mr. Last to clean up around
his garage. He works on lawn mowers. Most of these mowers he gives
away or loans out. It is not a money-making deal for him. He works
a full-time job at the prison. He leaves the scrap metal he does
not use on a trailer for someone to pick up and turn in for money.
A good example of a taxpayer doing a good thing but being
reprimanded at the same time.
When
you look around Lincoln and see all of the old buildings and
run-down houses still sitting empty, it's kind of hard for Mr.
Last not to see these. Maybe it will take a child to get hurt
playing in one of these condemned buildings or someone losing a
house when these buildings catch on fire. Maybe then these issues
will be dealt with.
It
looks like when Mayor Davis took office, she didn't replace the
right department heads.
Let’s
clean up our city before we consider a statue.

Baseball
Boosters president suggests coverage of spring sports banquet
6-8-01
To
the editor:
I
was wondering if the Lincoln Daily News was going to cover
the spring sports banquet for the Lincoln High School
baseball team. I bet if it dealt with another sport like
basketball it would have been covered. The Lincoln Courier
didn't even cover it, and our ad ran in their paper for
two days. This is news about the kids of Logan County that doesn't
go on the record. I bet coach Hake was wondering the very same
thing.
Thank
you for supporting our kids.
Tom
Martin
President,
Lincoln Baseball Boosters
