Alcohol
and tobacco vendors thanked
2-1-02
To
the editor:
There
were over 40 people representing area businesses at Thursday
evening’s alcohol and tobacco vendors class at the Lincoln
Police Department.
The
Lincoln Police Department, along with the Secretary of State
Police, "We Card" and the Illinois Liquor Control
Commission, would like to thank the businesses who came to the
alcohol and tobacco vendors class. Their attendance showed that
they are concerned about preventing minors from buying alcohol and
tobacco products. Thank you.

Thanks
from Salvation Army
1-31-02
Dear
Editor:
On
behalf of the Logan Salvation Army, I would like to express my
thanks to all of the people who dropped their donations into the
kettles or mailed them to my office to make the 2001 Christmas
Kettle Campaign a success! The final, closing total is $24,260.55!
At the beginning of the bell ringing season, it was not looking as
if we were going to be able to celebrate that kind of total. But
thanks to faithful bell ringers and faithful, generous
contributors, the amount kept slowly climbing!
Thank
you to all of my volunteer bell ringers for facing the cold winds
and rain (We didn’t have any snow!) and making some noise for
the Logan County Salvation Army! I especially want to say a
special thank you to the Lincoln Rotary Club. They, with the
coordinating efforts of Mr. Joseph Runyon, rang for the Salvation
Army on three separate occasions at Wal-Mart. You guys really went
above and beyond. I am so grateful to you all!
Thank
you, Becky Heyen, Susan Jones and Alice Cheatham, for toughing it
out for the entire campaign! Every year I embark upon a new
Christmas Kettle Campaign with hopes for it to be a success, and
every year I realize all over again that there is no way it can be
without all of the giving people on both sides of the kettle.
Thank you all, and may God bless you!
Sincerely,
Curtis

New
Holland-Middletown School teachers respond
1-30-02
Dear
Editor:
We
the undersigned would like to take issue with the article
regarding the New Holland-Middletown School District 88 which
appeared in the Jan. 19, 2002, edition of The Courier.
A
few disgruntled individuals leveled several unfounded accusations
of child abuse and neglect against our administration and school.
School employees are mandated reporters required by state law to
report incidents of possible and probable abuse to children. We
resent the implications made by these individuals and The Courier
that we would stand aside and allow these alleged abusive
behaviors to occur.
We
abhor the compilation of unrelated facts into an attack on our
school district and communities. It seems to us that articles
published in The Courier consistently and unfairly criticize our
school.
Our
graduates, both past and present, succeed and excel at Lincoln
High School as well as students from any of the other feeder
schools. Our former students are well represented throughout the
work force and institutions of higher learning.
What
a pleasure it would be for our school to be recognized by The
Courier and its staff for the positive achievements we have
attained.

Thanks
and a Valentine’s Day invitation
1-24-02
To
the editor:
The
Logan County Arts Association would like to thank everyone who
enjoyed the swashbuckling adventures of "Robin Hood" on
the silver screen.
Our
offerings would not be possible without the kind assistance of the
GKC Corporation.
We
look forward to seeing everyone on Valentine’s Day for "It
Happened One Night." Bring your sweetheart, cuddle up with a
box of popcorn, and enjoy.
