Family, Railer Family, and friends celebrate
latest honor for Coach Neil Alexander
Even knowing what was coming, Lincoln coach Neil
Alexander tried to keep himself out of the spotlight. But, as the
Lincoln Community High School administration began the ceremony that
would dedicate and name the court at Roy S. Anderson Gymnasium after
the beloved and long-time coach, Coach Al found a spot near the end
of the Railer bench looking like he would be more comfortable
sneaking off back to the locker room than accepting the honor for
his years of service at LCHS.

Debbie's Downtown Floral opens in Lincoln
When local floral shop owner Bill Bree announced he
was going to close his shop and retire, it was a sad day for many of
us. While everyone deserves to enjoy retirement and rest after a
long career, the thought of not having the lovely Three Roses Flower
Shop as a warm friendly place to stop in and shop was heartbreaking.
Well, we can all take heart now, because the shop has re-opened, and
inside shoppers will find many of the familiar things from the old
store, including the owner, Debbie Theobald.

north of the building that will be a parking lot with a large garage
when all is finished.
