								HAPPY NEW YEAR, LOGAN COUNTY!!  
						 
						Today Lincoln Daily News takes an abbreviated look back 
						at the year we have left behind. There were some bad 
						days in 2022, but  there were a lot of good days 
						too.  We choose to dwell on the latter rather than 
						the former in today's review. 
						 
						Then, starting on Tuesday, we will look at the year that 
						was through the camera's lens. This year we are changing 
						things up a bit. The Tuesday photos will be from the 
						first three months of the 2022 calendar and chosen by 
						LDN Graphic Artist Jeff Wyles. On Wednesday, Co-owner 
						and Managing Editor Nila Smith will share favorites from 
						April through June. Graphic Artist Devyn Fry will 
						provide her choices for July through September on 
						Thursday. On Friday, Co-Owner and Director of 
						Advertising Karen Hargis will wrap up the year with her 
						favorites from the last three months of the year. 
						 
						We hope you will check out our favorites and maybe 
						recall a few favorite days of the year for yourself.  
						 
						We look forward to the new year and sharing the many 
						good days ahead with you through the daily editions of 
						LDN.
