Alcohol
incident
3-18-02
To
the editor:
We
first want to express our sympathy to the families of the young
people involved in the recent fatality on Fifth Street Road.
Your pain must be almost unbearable, and we wish we had words to
comfort you.
Having
said that, we are absolutely outraged at hearing that alcohol, and
who knows what else, may have been supplied from a parent’s
home, and the fact that this particular parent had recently lost a
child due to an alcohol-related crash is beyond our ability
to understand! Wasn’t one young person’s death enough?
The
Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Task Force of the Healthy
Communities Partnership has worked for nearly four years to
coordinate efforts and enlist the support of the county around
prevention efforts for our youth. The task force has worked
tirelessly to educate young people regarding the dangers involved
in consumption of these harmful, even
deadly substances. We have provided activities,
educational events and worked with youth to fight ATOD use.
We have encouraged parents, business owners and the community at
large to join our efforts.
Perhaps,
in the face of this tragedy, parents and community members will
consider joining the task force in this fight. Sadly, it’s
too late for one young man.

Praise
for commentary and commentator
3-2-02
Dear
Editor:
I
have never met Mike Fak. I have had, however, over the past six
months or so, the pleasure of reading his commentaries on LDC and
life in Lincoln. In fact, I just finished reading his article "Racial
Profiling: Let’s Look Within."
I
find Mr. Fak to be an extremely well-reasoned, articulate and
informed person. He raises questions that ought to be raised, he
does not moralize, yet he causes his readers to think and look
beyond the obvious.
LDN
is fortunate to have him as a commentator, and I enjoy his
viewpoint. It’s too bad more people outside Lincoln do not have
access to his writing.
Sincerely,
Ed
Stanfield Sr.
Springfield
