Main Street
Lincoln announces the hiring of Wanda Lee Rohlfs of Lincoln as the
new program manager. "We are so excited to have Wanda accepting this
position," said David Lanterman board president. "She is a perfect
fit!"

As a former business teacher and
current guidance counselor, she will be retiring from Lincoln
Community High School this year. During her tenure at the high
school, she has been involved in many school and community
activities. "I want to utilize
my experiences and talents to promote Lincoln and the downtown
area," Rohlfs said. "I have given to the children of community a
great many years, and now it is time to give back to the community
as a whole."
Serving as chair of the
Government/Education Committee of the Lincoln/Logan Chamber of
Commerce for six years provided a basis for her interest in applying
for the Main Street Lincoln position. Economic development, historic
preservation, and downtown growth and enhancement made this a hub
years ago.
Mrs. Rohlfs grew up in the Lincoln
area and has a deep interest in and attachment to the community --
full of talented, hardworking people who have core values that
benefit the development of the city.

Life Sentence, No Parole
If we tried to invent the
cruelest punishment for dogs, we probably couldn't come up with
anything worse than "solitary confinement" on a chain or in a
kennel.
Dogs are pack animals who
crave the companionship of others. Scratches behind the ears,
games of fetch, or even just walks around the block mean the
world to them. Curling up at your feet while you watch TV is
their idea of heaven.
Many dogs left to fend for
themselves at the end of a chain fall prey to attacks by other
animals or cruel people, and many others are injured or hanged
or choke as a result of getting entangled or caught in their
tether.
If you have a backyard dog,
please, bring him or her inside. They don't want much--just
you.
