Lincoln East Rotary got a chance to go backstage at the Lied Center for Performing Arts on Wednesday, March 29th. Mark Moore, is the Associate Director of Even and facility Service at the Lied. Mark told us that the Lied is 33 years old. Mark started out with the Lied and was them at the beginning 37 years ago. He left for nine years and did something else and about five years ago he came back to work at the Lied.
Andrew Barksdale was selected as the Lincoln Police Officer of the Year for 2022. In his position as a narcotics investigator, he made at least 167 felony arrests during the year, and in the last three years he has made 560 felony arrests. In a recent case his work resulted in the seizure of 800 grams of meth, 1700 grams of marijuana, $70,000 cash, a .45 caliber handgun, an AR style rifle with bump stock and high capacity magazines, which led to 15 felony arrests. Investigator Barksdale has an incredible work ethic and carries a positive attitude, which is critical to the unit's overall efficiency.

How do LERC members determine what is beneficial to all concerned? Is it so easy to make that determination that unanimity will always show the direction that should be taken? In determining action, how should LERC relate to the “all” in that four-way test?
