Ban fireworks

Tuesday, June 18, 2002

Since the Elks need financial help from the public to buy fireworks, why not ban fireworks for individuals? They can contribute the money they would otherwise spend to the Elks and we could have fireworks in a controlled atmosphere.

It's too dry and water is a precious commodity in Southwest Nebraska. We don't need hundreds or thousands of acres burning just because people want to set off fireworks.
