April 2022 marks 40 years since Lincoln voters approved a bond issue to fund a high school for Lincoln. A Lincoln high school had long been a hot topic. The 120 mile round trip to Augusta High School was a challenge for Lincoln student and parents, and a high school was considered by many to be important to the town's future. But establishing a High School came with a cost, which created controversy, and a fair share of doubters at the county level. Here are a couple stories...

While the annual Lincoln Clothing Giveaway has been a success every year, organizer Nadine Yonkovich said they like to think every year is better than the last. And this year may have been the best in its 35-year history, even surpassing last year's donation windfall. "Last year it seemed like we had more donations than ever before, because the tables were just mounded. But this year I'm saying we got more donations than even last year," said Yonkovich. "It is just amazing...

The Lincoln Community Hall got a long-needed upgrade to its roof last week after years of problems with leaks and the buildup of ice and snow in the winters.

For many years, Ron was a devoted supporter of youth and children's ministries. Ron died in the fall of 2021 of a massive heart attack on the top of Stemple Pass.

I was not at all surprised when results of the recent community survey showed overwhelmingly that Lincoln's annual Independence Day festivities were the favorite weekend/event(s) of the year. I was very surprised however to subsequently learn that a 20-year, full-time resident was unaware that our amazing annual fireworks display is and has always been sponsored (paid for) by the Lincoln Valley Chamber of Commerce. Our community's parade, rodeo and fireworks show is...
With the warmer weather upon us, Lincoln is already experiencing the influx of returning guests and tourists to town for vacation and weekend events. Along with this comes the increased travel on Highway 200 and the increased presence of off-road vehicles and pedestrian traffic. While the center of town is considered Main Street to locals, it is no less a state highway and so the laws apply the same way at the intersection of Stemple Pass Road as they do on top of Roger's...
Lincoln Veterans and community members gathered at the Lincoln Community Hall Monday morning to honor the memories of American service members who have lost their lives both in war and in peace.

One look outside or to feel the warming temperatures lets us know that the long, hard winter of 2022 is nearing it's end. Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit us more than two years ago life in general has taken many changes and the Lincoln Senior Center is no different. Memberships have dropped over the past few years, due in some cases to the aging of Lincoln and people who are not able to get out and around as they used to. The pandemic had kept people inside and away from...

The world is much more dangerous for children and adults than we often will admit. The statistics are alarming. Eighty three percent of Americans will experience a violent crime in their lifetimes, which includes assault, robbery, murder, home invasion or car jacking.* But we don't want to think of ourselves as victims of crime. We take pride in living in a safe place with neighbors and friends who look out for us. We won't lock our doors or take safety precautions because we...
