County proclaims National Crime Victims' Rights Week and approves pinwheels for Strengthening Families Month
Summary
Commissioners proclaimed National Crime Victims' Rights Week (adopting the week of April 19–25, 2026 after date corrections) and approved a community request to place blue pinwheels and signs on county grounds for Strengthening Families Month.
Lincoln County commissioners proclaimed National Crime Victims' Rights Week and approved a community display request to mark Strengthening Families Month at their April 8 meeting. The board read the victims' rights proclamation and corrected inconsistent dates in the draft before adopting the observance for April 19–25, 2026.
Rocky Gifford offered brief public comment in support of the victims' rights proclamation, saying, "I agree with you guys," and noted local candlelight vigil events are typically publicized in the newspaper. Separately, county staff relayed an email request from Mr. Sherbo seeking permission to place blue pinwheels and signs on courthouse grounds during April; commissioners said they had no objection and indicated the county would allow the display to raise awareness.
The proclamations and the pinwheel placement are administrative actions to acknowledge community observances; staff will ensure the proclamation is entered in the minutes and that the county coordinates with organizers on specific placement and timing.
