Appreciates
Mike Fak's articles

To
the editor:
It
is good to read the different articles Mr. Fak writes. Very
factual and timely.

All-time
leading scorer
3-10-01
To
the editor:
This
is not really a news item — just a correction.
Several
times now I have read the following about Gregg Alexander:
"He finished his Railer career as Lincoln's all-time leading
scorer, with an astounding 2,085 points."
While
I am proud of Gregg for setting the new boys basketball record,
Steph Reichle is still the all-time leading scorer for Lincoln
Community High School — scoring 2,376 points in 112 games.
Just
thought you might like to know that.

Support
for a city manager
(Note:
This letter arrived after the letter
below it was posted in LDN.)

Your
direction is correct. We need to look at a city manager form of
government and soon. Somehow too much politics seems to always be
behind important decisions.

City
manager could handle Lincoln's day-to-day business
3-9-01
To
the editor:
Though
I am no longer a citizen of Logan County and reside in Arizona, I
believed for a number of years that Lincoln needed a city
manager. Where I am at present has just that, and things
seem to all get handled on a day-to-day basis. I am sure I
can get plenty of discussion as to why this is not the thing to do
for Lincoln, since it does involve additional expense for the
manager. A well-run business always has someone at the helm
guiding it in the right direction.

Youth
receive AAL support for mission projects
3-8-01
To
the editor:
The
youth of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Lincoln wish to thank
the AAL for their support.
Due
to the AAL Youth Serve Program, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church
junior and senior high school youth have been able to do mission
projects. Financing was received for Christmas gifts and
poinsettias were purchased for the Angel Trees at Wal-Mart and at
Cracker Barrel. These helped to brighten lives of
children, shut-ins, senior citizens, and nursing home residents
that may have been otherwise forgotten.
Currently,
the youth are completing a "Boxes for Brazil"
project. Assistance for financing the shipping fees was
received from AAL. Clothing and personal care items from
baby to adult care were collected through February. These
will be sent to Lutheran missionaries, the Paul Abel family in
Santa Felicidade, Brazil, for distribution.
The
youth look forward to again reaching out in Jesus' name with the
assistance of AAL.
