The Masons of Kerby Belt Lodge #18 gave away bikes to student readers at
Evergreen Elementary on Friday, June 10. Students signed up with the Bikes

for a bike. Names were drawn at each grade level and the students took home
a bike, a helmet and a bike lock. Pictured with the winning students are Mrs.
Tawnya Campbell, Title One coordinator (top left) and Masons Steve Lyons, Ted
Crocker, Bikes for Books chairman, Red Cain, Carl Jacobson, Max Holleman

Trump stand on
issues?
POLICY ON LETTERS:
‘Illinois Valley News’ encour-
ages letters to the editor provided
they are legible and not libelous
or scurrilous. All letters must be
signed, including name, address
and telephone number. The latter
need not be published, but will
be used to verify authenticity.
The “News” reserves the right to
edit letters. Letters are used at the
discretion of the publisher.

(Editor’s note: Views and com-
mentary, including statements
made as fact are strictly those
of the letter writers.)
He has been both pro-
choice and anti-choice; he
is in favor of guns in the
classroom but not teachers
having guns; he is for workers
but frequently doesn’t pay
contractors he hires for
completed work and is against
a federal raise in the minimum
wage; he’s against Wall Street
but boasts huge real estate
profits out of the housing
collapse and subsequent
foreclosures and human
misery it caused.
In 2009 Trump urged
President Obama and
Congress to take action on
global warming arguing if
we don’t: “it is scientifically
irrefutable that there will be
catastrophic and irreversible
consequences for humanity
and our planet.” Flipping
again, he now argues
against climate rules and the
International Paris Agreement
accepted by over 170 nations.
The answer is that
Trump has held every possible
position one can hold on
every critical issue. We trust
him at our peril.
