We enjoy New Year’s resolutions and the opportunity the New Year gives to symbolically clear the slate and try harder to reach our personal and professional goals.
From the Publishers
As 2016 draws to a close, we are reminded that family and community are vitally important to our way of life. At The Lincoln County News, we focus on bringing this community the best news and professional journalism.
Christmas from a Biblical (Christian) Perspective
In today’s world, it seems everyone wants to define what Christmas is and how we should observe it. I want to simply share the Biblical story of Christmas, as an explanation of why Christians celebrate. The story is simple and easy to follow and to understand. So let’s hear what God in His book, the Bible, has to tell us about His story of Christmas.
BETTER TO GIVE
As it does every year, the front page of our Christmas edition features a message about the meaning of Christmas in Christianity.
Talkin’ Trash Holiday Toy Recycling
The holiday season is upon us and we find ourselves with closets and boxes filled with discarded toys. What can be done with these unused toys before new ones arrive for the holidays? Toys, in good condition, can be given away. The problem occurs when the toys are unusable. Many of those toys end up in the landfill or an incinerator.
Just a Thought
Aleppo
One of the presidential candidates was criticized because he didn’t know what Aleppo was. People were quick to make remarks like, “He’s so ignorant he didn’t even know what Aleppo was.”
Hindley in Hindsight
Hi, my name is Hindley Wang. My first name is pronounced with a short “i” and a somewhat silent “d.” I am a 19-year-old student at Lincoln Academy in Newcastle. I am originally from Shanghai, China, and my original name is Wenjia Wang. I have lived in Newcastle for three years. I live in a dorm room with little natural light but a lot of string lights and a gigantic palm-leaf tapestry on the wall. I like to call myself an artsy individual, because I paint, decorate, play and listen to jazz, and write, but I am still trying to live up to the standard of a “real artist,” whatever that means.
Another View: Confidence Shaken
A few years ago, I was sitting in the departure lounge at BWI. I thought the rumbling I felt was caused by the construction equipment operating just outside the concourse.
A SENSE OF COMMUNITY
We regret to report the loss of another of our local columns.
Ask the Vet Canine osteoarthritis -- degenerative joint disease
If a dog tires easily, limps, is slow to rise, or is reluctant to climb stairs, run, or jump, canine osteoarthritis may be the cause. Osteoarthritis involves an inflammatory response, cartilage degeneration, and loss of collagen and nutrients in the joints.
The Present of Our Presence
Every time of year has its own challenges in terms of teens using alcohol and other drugs, but the holiday season can be particularly challenging.
No Longer Lower Round Pond Christmas at a one-room school
My school days at Muscongus’ one-room school began with walking a mile on Bremen’s heavily forested Shore Road hoping not to meet a moose on the way. In preparation for such an event, I had practiced scaling several climbable trees at strategic locations.
Ponder & Stir
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou
I have to admit I don’t believe that people will forget what we said or what we did. I do hope they remember how we made them feel.
CHEER LOCAL
One of our favorite times of year is here – a magical time of year when children’s eyes sparkle with delight and parents relive the joys of childhood through their offspring.
