Dear Editor:
We at Logan County
ESDA would like to take this opportunity to thank the many disaster
workers who helped in various ways by responding to our most recent
locally declared tornado disaster of May 30. The special efforts of
the responders during that night, including the various weather
spotters, fire, EMS and law enforcement agencies who collaborated on
the impacted area's safety needs, were greatly appreciated.
Thank you to the
long-term debris management workers from IDOT, IDOC, IEMA, Lincoln
Rural Explorers, YMCA, Job Corps, Lincoln FS, Lincoln Ag Center,
Logan County Highway, city of Mount Pulaski, city of Lincoln and to
all who heard the page and called the office or showed up. Thank you
to the American Red Cross and the many grocery stores and
restaurants in Lincoln and Logan County who donated food or had it
sent out to the impacted area. Thank you to the farming community
for the great network you have in helping one another. A special
thank you for those of you who stayed at home and prayed for the
victims that had been impacted.

this letter] |
We also send
a special thanks to the many elected officials who offered
their support, especially to Dale Voyles, Dick Logan and
Rep. Mitchell, who walked beside us through the whole
process.
We at Logan County
are no strangers to emergencies or disaster, and our response will
continue to be the same, as we know your continued help will only be
a request away.
Yours truly,
Dan
Fulscher

To the editor:
I would like to commend your
publication for its wonderful article writing and its support and
concern for the upcoming sesquicentennial celebration. It's odd how
I can read an article that you have published and feel comfortable
and pleased about the accuracy of the material and its
presentation, but then when I pick up a local newspaper and read
news about the same subject and circumstances, I am disgusted with
what I've read. I really enjoy your articles and your methods of
writing.
Unfortunately not all news is going to
be good, and I don't believe in sugarcoating it if it's not. I do,
however, believe that we should focus on finding the positive side
of events such Lincoln's sesquicentennial and find ways of
overcoming negative issues that arise.
[to top of second column in
this letter] |
Somehow when all you can read in the
news is about all the problems and lack of cooperation, it can cause
a person to loose the drive that they started out with on such a
project like the celebration.
Please keep up the wonderful support of
our community and its activities. I know it makes me feel better
each time I can read an accurate follow-up of current happenings.
Sincerely,
Greg Pelc
Rock Solid Sound & Stage Productions
