The EDC is hearing that a shortage of daycare facilities is becoming a barrier to hiring and retaining employees in our area.

The two-minute survey can be found on our website at www.LincolnEDC.org. Click on the Lincoln County tab and then select Cities & Towns. The survey link is at the top of that web page....
Over 75 adults and children in pre-K through fifth grade were present at the second “Unwrap the Gift of Reading” event which took place on Tuesday, December 2, at the Odessa School. The concept for starting a tradition of wrapping books up to be opened over the days prior to Christmas came from an idea the elementary teachers saw posted online last winter. The event was so popular that the staff proposed doing it again this year. At the family night, the children, accompanied by their parents, moved from station to sta...

To the Editor: A blindfold and scales represent the American judicial system, signifying equality and balance. Recent events bring our laws into question. While laws are made based on common sense, many choose to ignore them. Can America operate under two or more sets of laws? And will this great country be forever divided by ideology or skin color? Can we bend to the pressures of malcontents to adopt more lenient laws; laws that enable criminal acts to go unpunished? Or should we enforce existing laws without regard to...

What if there were a two–for–one sale on kilowatts? Your power bill would be cut in half, – not a bad result for your monthly budget. Energy drives everything we produce and consume, and global energy consumption continues to grow year after year. The two-for-one image came to mind as I talked with Professor Jeanne McHale of Washington State University. McHale is a chemist who researches an alternative approach to making solar cells that produce electricity. “Ther...
