SPECIAL
EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Parking
placards must be displayed
From Mayor
Davis
Citizens
of Lincoln and Logan County:
 Just a reminder to Logan County
individuals with disabilities who possess a handicapped (disabled)
parking placard: Effective Jan. 1, state law requires that
individuals granted a disabled parking placard must have the
placard on display in the front windshield of their vehicles if
parked in a disabled parking space throughout the city of Lincoln,
as well as throughout the state of Illinois.
A new clarification regarding the term
"bearing" versus "displayed" was voted into law by the Illinois
Legislature in July 2002 and will become effective and enforced Jan.
1, 2003. There will be no exceptions to this law. It is a privilege
to be granted a disabled parking placard, and in order for the city
of Lincoln to enforce that privilege and keep violators from parking
in disabled parking spaces, the city will be ticketing those who do
not have the placard on display in their vehicles' front windshield.
Thank you so much for your cooperation.
I wish all of you a wonderful holiday season and a prosperous new
year!
Mayor Beth
Davis
Notice to motorists

one-way street
near Central School
The short stretch of
Ottawa Street from Union and Broadway streets, between the First
Baptist Church and Ralph Gale Field, is now one-way only going
north, Don Osborne, Lincoln street superintendent, announced

People
all across this country and, in fact, around the world, claim roots in
Logan County. They have very interesting stories to tell, and some of them
like to connect with those of us who stayed at home. Logan County Diaspora
publishes the stories of former Logan County residents. With their
permission, we also include their e-mail addresses so that old friends
might be reunited. If you wish to be part of the Logan County
Diaspora, e-mail ldneditor@lincolndailynews.com.

It
is a time like no other. Since Sept. 11 we are a changed
nation. Individually, our daily sensitivity toward whom and what we have
in our lives has been heightened. We are more conscious and
appreciative, first about those we love and see every day.
Next, we have a newfound appreciation for those who risk their
lives every day as rescue workers and protectors of life and
property in our communities. We also now think more about our
military men and women who are committed to serve and protect
our country. Many are away engaged in battle, some are in
waiting to go, all are ready to lay their lives on the line in
defense of our freedom.
Friends
and relatives serving in the armed forces are listed here so we might all hold them in our thoughts, prayers and well
wishes. If you know of other friends and relatives serving (they
need not be from Logan County),
please send the information to ldneditor@lincolndailynews.com. Along with the name, you are invited to include the branch of
service, current location of service, postal address, e-mail
address and relationship to the person providing the information (optional).
