Today we bring you the final three pictures from out Paint the Paper Pink project for 2019. The photos include the staff of CCAOnline and Lincoln Daily News as well as a snapshot taken of the Abraham Lincoln Statue on the Logan County Courthouse lawn with a pink bow tie. Tomorrow the paper will no longer be pink as we return to our regular templates and colors. The month will be over, but the battle will not.

Every day, women around the country will be diagnosed with breast cancer. This year, it is estimated that more than 268,000 women and almost 3,000 men will hear those words that they have breast cancer. This number doesn't include all the other cancers out there and we shudder to think how large that number would be if we compiled statistics from all 74 types of cancer. The more we do, the greater the chance that someone we love and care about will survive. Survival begins with early diagnosis, as we urge everyone regardless of age, gender, or race, to be diligent in taking care of themselves. We love you, we need you, and we want you around for a very long time.

Thank you so much to the 1,501 people, 12 fur babies, one pink teddy bear and one beloved statue for helping us get that message out this year with your pink pictures.

At the Earl and Ladonna Gass home at 600 North Street in Emden is a spook-tacular sight to see.

The family has gone all out for Halloween with decorations including ghosts, a gigantic spider, a scarecrow, the Headless Horsemen, the grim reaper, several Jack-o-Lanterns, skeletons, a black cat, a yard full of gravestones and cat’s eyes “peering” out from the front window make it appear that the house is watching you.

Lincoln Junior High School Student Council sponsor Leslie Singleton addressed an all-school assembly Monday morning at the kick-off of Red Ribbon Week at the school. She was joined front and center by student council members Claire Duffer, Emma Petro, Reece Winebrinner, Taryn Stoltzenburg and Lincoln Police Officer and D.A.R.E. Officer Christy Fruge'.

Red Ribbon Week is conducted in honor and memory of fallen D.E.A. Officer Kiki Camerena, who died in the line of duty, murdered by the criminals he was trying to put away. The week of remembrance focuses on drug abuse education and prevention.
