Are you curious about what's going on with that long-vacant lot across from Grizzly Hardware and the Bootlegger? Steve Hartman purchased the property earlier this year and has developed a place for campers and RVs to park in the center of town, while raising money for our local school. "It seems the school is always struggling and I thought this was a way to help them. They're always in need of uniforms for volleyball or football, or something else. Something needed to be...
Dear Readers, You may have heard about an innovative approach to dietary intervention known as precision nutrition (PN). This approach includes individualized meal planning based on your DNA.

I have an old Peace Corps friend visiting for a few days. In 1972 we met in New Orleans, along with a group of 160 other new volunteers. The orientation took five days, then they put us on a chartered plane for Brazil. I don't remember how we picked each other out of the bunch of bright-eyed, naive, innocent others, but it didn't take long. Bruce and I were older than the horde of recent Purdue graduates, and the only ones who had military service in their background. The mili...

Lincoln Firefighters spent several hours Thursday evening, Aug. 22, battling a fire burning deep inside a large cottonwood on the southeast corner of the Sleepy Hollow Trailer Park, at the edge of town next to Stemple Pass Road. Lincoln Fire Chief Zach Muse said the fire was most likely a holdover from a lightning strike on July 13. He said a limb from the tree fell onto the road that day, but at the time it wasn't clear the tree had been hit by lightning. "It was just a...
