Lincoln
postal worker Teena Lowery said, “As I was walking along my mail
route in Nugent Place one day recently I noticed a little girl
outside snapping a picture of this window. Turns out an
eight-year-old girl and her mom created this artwork and beautiful
message. It took them between 3 - 4 hours to complete. As you can
see it has everything people are looking for these days. As mom
Nikki Rhoades said, “Whether you are hunting for hearts, bears,
Easter eggs or just a little bit of encouragement we have got you
covered.”
In today's edition, LDN reporter Angela Reiners catches up with the
family responsible for this artwork and talks with mom Nikki Rhoades
about how to talk to your children about social distancing and the
coronavirus. Be sure to check it out.

On Thursday afternoon, Logan
County turned pale blue on the state-wide map of counties
experiencing cases of coronavirus. The single positive case
is reported to be a 40-year old female with no recent travel
history outside the area. The Logan County Department of
Public Health has confirmed this. For patient privacy
according to HEPA rules, the name of the patient will not be
released.
Remember, this disease can spread through simple exposure
such as talking. That is why the stay at home is so
important. When you do have to go out to buy groceries or
medications, observe the social distancing guidelines. Face
masks are also being suggested. It was noted in a recent
press conference that the typical over the counter mask does
not protect you; but it does protect the public from
you. You can be a carrier and not be sick, so please follow
all precautions. |
