Earth Day 2003

LCHS students planting trees

[MAY 6, 2003] About 130 Lincoln Community High School students planned to plant trees and perennials and mulch existing plantings today, according to National Honor Society sponsors Jody Dopp and Pam Pollock. This is an annual event for many of these students, part of the community service NHS students provide.

Twenty trees and many perennials, donated by John Wilmert and Connie’s Nursery, are to be planted in public areas around the city, particularly along Lincoln Parkway, Pollock said. Donations to purchase plantings have also come from area contributors, National Honor Society members and fund-raisers held by students.

The entire National Honor Society, along with biochemistry and landscaping classes, will spend the day putting in the new plantings and caring for those already in place, Pollock said. Students Chris Allen and Justin Bruns are co-chairs of the event.

This week's question...

[APRIL 4, 2003] Is there anything in the community you would like to change?

Jamie Eckert, senior

"Maybe add something so the town wouldn’t be so boring for teenagers. Perhaps a shopping mall or something like that."

Blake Brown, senior

"A type of automobile assembly plant could bring many new jobs to Lincoln. Along with these jobs would come more businesses to support all of its new employees. This would be one thing that could bring a lot to the town of Lincoln."

Jennifer Whalen, senior

"I think the city of Lincoln is in need of a new teen hangout. I have been to Playdiums in other cities, and many teens enjoy hanging out there. A Playdium is basically a building filled with virtual reality games. I think it would be a great place for high school and college kids to have a safe yet fun place to relax."

Jared Marten, senior

"I would add a Weinerschnitzel to Lincoln because I like food. Food is good. I would also add Larry’s arcade again, because it was a cool place and had pool tables, video games, and was in a bad part of town to traverse by foot."

Thomas Gramley, senior

"We should have a mall, some more public parks and another prison.
