has fallen out of the floor of the gristmill
part of the reconstructed village of New Salem where Abraham Lincoln lived from 1831 to 1837
the only original building in the reconstructed village of New Salem where Abraham Lincoln lived from 1831 to 1837
discusses the collapse of a portion of a barn that is part of the reconstructed village of New Salem
where Abraham Lincoln lived from 1831 to 1837
views a hole in the roof of the carding mill
where Lincoln accidentally spent half-a-dozen years in the 1830s
perhaps did as much to prepare him to be the Union-saving 16th president as any other aspect of his humble yet remarkable life
Volunteers in period clothing provide historical demonstrations for hundreds of thousands of visitors each year at the site
now part of a state park over 200 miles (330 kilometers) southwest of Chicago
But long-neglected maintenance has taken a toll on the setting
which was re-created by a federal public works program in the 1930s during the Great Depression
It took a dedicated volunteer and state lawmakers’ advocacy this spring to secure state money to begin rehabbing the site
a clean-shaven 22-year-old with the barest of formal schooling
had set out in 1831 to haul freight down the Mississippi River to New Orleans when he snagged his flatboat on the Sangamon River dam at New Salem
I really firmly believe we’d be two countries.”
Lincoln freed the boat and continued to New Orleans
but returned to take up residence in the village just northwest of the capitol
Lincoln encountered the religious and the atheist
was offered a job as surveyor and thus taught himself geometry and by association
began practicing law and lost his first political race but came back to win
The drive shaft of the rebuilt gristmill fell out of the structure’s floor following a 2016 flood
It’s hard to get to it anyway because a pedestrian walkway over Illinois Route 97 is closed
grew this winter to the size of a refrigerator and half of the roof on the replicated Trent brothers’ barn has collapsed
McClure has put the brakes on the legislation because 10 days after Gillmore-Wolter and the lawmakers led a media tour of the village
the Illinois Department of Natural Resources
It should be enough to stabilize structures and make some headway
but McClure said no one has inventoried problems or priced out remedies
Natural Resources officials did not respond to emailed questions
New Salem withered shortly after Lincoln’s 1837 departure as residents picked up and moved when many transplanted their structures in the new county seat of Petersburg
one of the best-preserved buildings is New Salem’s lone original: the Onstott Cooper Shop
Henry Onstott lent the auger Lincoln used to drain his swamped flatboat and ease it over the dam
The barrel-maker moved his shop to Petersburg in 1840
though it has since returned to its original spot
New Salem was a cow pasture with impressions marking erstwhile foundations
Media mogul and presidential hopeful William Randolph Hearst visited
then bought the property and donated it to the New Salem Chautauqua
It became a state park in 1918 and private donations paid for some reconstructed cabins
with many more added during the 1930s by the New Deal’s Civilian Conservation Corps
Budget shortfalls have hampered maintenance
Financial troubles closed all state parks for five months in the late 2000s
Advocates believe New Salem hasn’t seen major improvements since the 1970s
“This is Lincoln’s alma mater,” Gillmore-Wolter said

Looking at a picture of Abraham Lincoln in October 1860, the 11-year-old Grace Bedell claimed to have solved the problem of Lincoln’s face and wrote him a letter to tell him about it
The presidential candidate was well aware of the problem
A popular anti-Lincoln song imagined his supporters begging not to have his picture shown
offered a solution: Lincoln should grow a beard
“If you will let your whiskers grow,” she wrote
“you would look a great deal better for your face is so thin.”
its head covered with a black veil.” The experience seemed to partake of the occult
often ghostly because of the long exposure times required
These early sitters weren’t entirely wrong
but something was happening to them in front of the camera
reckoning with an entirely new form of self-presentation
introduced an intense awareness not just of the self
“Here,” Holmes wrote of the photographed face
whose brood strays at large over all the features.”
The flip side of self-awareness was scrutiny. People weren’t just looking at themselves; they were also looking at others, especially as technological advancements increased the circulation of photographs. Whereas the daguerreotype produced a one-off image, printing photographs on paper from negatives extended the reach of images infinitely beyond the original
and improved printing techniques helped put ever more inked engravings of photographs in popular publications
Photographs and photographic images were everywhere
even an 11-year-old knew instinctively how to look
that in this new age everyone must become their “own caricaturist,” the beard was not a bad prop
uttered the most haunting words ever said by an American president
bearded face was first and foremost a product of the anxious new realities of the photographic age
Lincoln appeared not awkward and gangly but commanding and dignified
the image circulated in different formats and engraved variations
After careful consideration of the pictures of Lincoln on the buttons they were wearing
they concluded that he would look much better with a beard to bolster his face
as well as a standing collar to shorten his neck
“should be the best looking as well as the best of the rival candidates.”
Lincoln had come into his face—the one that would be regularly and repeatedly seen in pictures through the Civil War and beyond
“it would not be wise or tasteful to print.” Hawthorne complied
“What a terrible thing,” he complained sardonically
“to try to let off a little bit of truth into this miserable humbug of a world.”
The truth that Hawthorne wanted to express—that Lincoln’s looks were redeemed by his kindness and sagacity—is visible in one of the president’s last portraits. Taken by Alexander Gardner in February 1865, it is a close-up
You can see the strain of his presidency in every line in his face
but out of the shadows rises a slight smile
The same hollowness Grace Bedell saw is there in his cheeks
If there’s one word that’s defined 2025 so far
the tariff threat from the White House has everyone shook up
and what do people do when fear of shortages and higher prices looms
April seems like a banner month for new car sales
and the big winner so far might be the brand your grandparents drive
Mercedes-Benz has caused some controversy in its charging strategy for the CLA EV
Ram is bringing back a sensible trim of its half-ton pickup truck
and Jeep is hitting pause on Gladiator production
April was a weird sales month for new cars in America
With an unusual tariff strategy threatening to hike the costs of everything automotive from repairs to new cars to used cars
and I bought a BMW 335i on a whim at the beginning of the month
circumstances were a little different there
but uncertainty in the market certainly helped me sleep at night after blowing that sort of dough in one go
Honda and Acura posted some significant increases
the former up 16.6 percent to 123,637 sales and the latter up 33 percent to 13,019 units
it’s pretty good to be Mazda right now
posting a 21 percent sales increase to 37,660 units
Hyundai saw sales increase by 18.8 percent to 81,503 units
Kia saw a 13.8 percent increase to 74,805 units sold
and Genesis is up 14.5 percent to 6,307 units sold
and that rounds out reporting car brands from Asia
Here’s a contrast from two automakers that used to be joined at the hip: Buoyed by hot models like Broncos and Mavericks
Ford posted a big 15.1 percent sales increase while Volvo largely stayed the course
reporting a more modest 5.2 percent sales increase to 11,160 units
The biggest winner in all of this tariff fracas so far looks to be Lincoln
with the brand posting a 40 percent month-over-month jump in sales to 11,615 units
it’s actually positioned well for dealing with potential tariffs
It also helps that Lincoln had 127 days of inventory heading into April
so people looking to panic buy could just walk onto a Lincoln lot and make a choice
I wouldn’t expect to see record high cars sales this year
While some of the sales gains can be attributed to panic-buying
a portion of them are likely consumers moving up their new vehicle timelines
many of these consumers would’ve bought cars this year anyway
so sales in April could have effectively stolen from later months
Words from industry insiders give some credence to this hunch. Dave Christ, head of the Toyota division in America told Automotive News
“The first couple days in April was a frenzy
It could be we pulled forward all the business that was there
because that frenzied pace is not a frenzy anymore.” With a claimed consumer slow-down to more normal levels coupled with the yet-to-be-seen full effects of auto tariffs
it wouldn’t be surprising if 2025 balances out to near-normal or below-normal new vehicle sales on the whole
meaning if you’re looking to buy a new car soon
it’s not a bad idea to hop on non-tariff-impacted inventory now as affordability may be changing
Launching a new EV on an 800-volt architecture is fantastic, because it means really fast charging times on a 350 kW charger. However, Wards Auto reports that in certain markets
the new Mercedes-Benz CLA EV only has an 800-volt architecture
most older DC fast chargers are based around a 400-volt architecture
as kW in DC is equal to amps times voltage divided by 1,000
and running higher amperage is how Tesla optimizes their 400-volt DC fast chargers
Most vehicles with 800-volt architectures use DC-to-DC voltage boosters or split battery pack strategies to work with 400-volt fast chargers
but that’s not what’s happening with the electric CLA in Germany
as the CLA configurator in those markets displays the following warning:
Please note that charging at 400V charging stations is not possible
they are not shown in the navigation system
Unsurprisingly, this new has resulted in mixed reactions on social media, with posters in the German Elektroautos subreddit raising some good points
Some note that 400-volt stations are rare around them while some raise the good point that the CLA is an entry-level EV for Mercedes-Benz and this limitation in charging station compatibility could sharpen the EV learning curve for those coming from combustion-powered cars
800-volt-compatible DC fast chargers will be the universal minimum
so it’s quite possible Mercedes-Benz jumped the gun with the CLA EV
equipment specifications in European markets don’t necessarily translate to North America; it would be a miss if the eventual U.S.-market model doesn’t offer compatibility with older chargers
with consumers already stretched on new vehicle pricing
now’s a good time to bring some affordable trims back into the mix
a base-model half-ton pickup truck with alloy wheels and body-color trim
For $44,495 including freight for a quad-cab or $47,245 for a crew cab
and enough monochromatic trim to look like a more expensive truck than it is
and the two big ones to watch out for are four-wheel-drive and the 420-horsepower Hurricane turbocharged inline-six
The former is a $2,095 option and the latter adds $1,695 to the price tag
and I’d expect most in-stock models to feature at least four-wheel-drive paired with the $995 Black Express package
it seems in the right price bracket to compete with the similar-in-spirit Ford F-150 STX
and it’s the sort of trim Ram needs after the rapid Trimflation of the Carlos Tavares era
The Jeep Gladiator pickup truck is one of those vehicles that’s not objectively great at anything
The bed isn’t as practical as you get on a Tacoma or Colorado
it’s not as capable off-road as a Wrangler since it’s so dang long
and it’s no longer available with a manual transmission
yet there’s something fun about a convertible pickup truck
Unfortunately, if you want to make a fun choice and go with a Gladiator, you might want to do so soon. The Detroit News reports that the south plant in the Toledo complex
the line on which Jeep’s truck is built
the firm is looking to “align parts inventory with demand,” which makes sense considering leftover 2024 model year Gladiators are still on dealer lots into the second quarter of 2025
It’s the latest in several Stellantis production pauses
and it’s likely to have a brief but noticeable effect on suppliers
While some may be building up parts supply
Did you think about buying a car last month
Google News
MSN News
Apple News+
particularly appreciate how much you’ve written about Miatas this calendar year so far
Pulled the trigger on a Maverick hybrid AWD with the 4k tow package
but at 120,000 miles it’s out of warranty and starting to show some quirks
Plus it’s not really up to towing even my very light Crosley hobby car
and this particular dealership provides a free 20-year
With Ford’s employee pricing response to the stupid tariff war
“Liquor stores do record business as prohibition approaches!”
Seeing those prices next to the words “base model pick-up truck” had me actually contorting my face in disgust
I thought about buying a new Tacoma or Colorado as my needs for a truck have been increasing
but looking at our budget decided on a 20 year old Avalanche instead
but it’s very cool and it makes me smile
The economy is about to turn into a nightmare so I would not be trading in or selling almost-new vehicles anytime soon
any birthday beyond 25 is going to be closer to 30 than 20 and that will be true for the rest of your life
I’m one of those guilty of panic-buying
Didn’t want to wait to see if the tariffs would change
so I leased a car several months earlier than expected
as seven years is a looong time in EV development
but you can’t convince me that a budget pickup truck is $45k
Obviously I can’t wrap my head around $100k trucks either
Approaching 48 myself and I recall when trucks were the cheap option
$45,000 for a fucking base model truck????
a base-model half-ton pickup truck with alloy wheels and body-color trim? ”
it’s not a true base-model pickup truck
“Did you think about buying a car last month,”
I have actually been thinking of when I will buy my next vehicle as my daughter will need a vehicle at some point soon after she graduates next year
I already discussed with her that it might make sense to just buy my C-Max as it’s an affordable vehicle that is practical and cheap to insure
But that’s something that won’t happen before next year
So I have been thinking what I would likely get
I will be looking at non-American vehicles because
“Canada has nothing the USA needs”…
My avoidance of American products will continue as long as the current gang of Republicans are running the show in the USA
So the leading vehicles up for consideration will likely be the Prius Prime
Kia EV6 Hyundai Ioniq 5 and maybe even the Dodge Charger EV (Since Stellantis isn’t an American company and on top of that
I may make an exception for a vehicle made by an American company that is built in Canada
I can’t wait to use “sharpen the learning curve” as a synonym for screwing someone over
I purchased a new vehicle just before the election
mostly because I was getting tired of dealing with the Kia service dept near me
The RAV4 Prime is possibly worth more than I paid
I might sell it while the market’s hot if some great deal comes along that leaves cash in my pocket
but that’s the only way I even consider buying right now
that puts you that much closer to using the Master Shake line “I am 30 or 40 years old and do not need this!” Personally
I’m slightly closer to 50 than to 30
so I have to consider retiring that line soon
many of these consumers would’ve bought cars this year anyway
If you want a recent example just take a look at the bike industry
They sold everything they could build back in 2020 and 2021
then demand absolutely cratered because everyone who might possibly have wanted a bike already bought one
A bunch of long-time bike and bike-related companies have gone out of business recently
Accurately planning for binge-buying and then no buying is nearly impossible
there may be a lot of low mileage lease returns when people start getting laid off and can no longer afford any monthly payment
the used market will be higher than before but also full of desirable cars looking to maximize value
see also: home exercise equipment and appliances
You mean building a massive HQ building based on high short term sales as an exercise bike company may be a bad idea
I was really confused by the comment about being closer to 30 than 20 given that I know Matt is over 30
then I realized Matt didn’t write this today and it made more sense
for a second I thought to myself “Man
Probably a mix of slight panic and relatively good discounted and cheap or free financing
The Lincoln buyer is unique pretty much seems to be older people with money they were probably laying in wait for the car market to come to sanity and now all jumping on it
neither purchase (vehicle or lottery ticket) is on the horizon
2005 Tacoma is just getting broken in at 200K miles and 2017 Prius is happy as well
Newer vehicles have more things to break and are more expensive to repair when they inevitably break
A new car is rarely a sound financial decision
even with the included warranty covering mantenance costs for the first few years
My Tacoma is going to git the big 3-0 next year
If you take care of them they are almost a “lifetime” vehicle
I was definitely looking at a Chevy Trax or Buick Envista as my first new car to replace my Cruze but even as affordable as they are it just didn’t financially make sense for me to make that move at this time
Thankfully parts for the little red Chevy have been relatively cheap when it needs em and so far and it’s been decently reliable for a small town used car-lot “sorry we don’t have any maintenance records or history” purchase

The new Instagram video is captioned "This is the music…"
Lincoln Center Theater has teased a potential upcoming Ragtime revival on their social media. In a new video, an actor walks to a piano near the Vivian Beaumont Theatre to play the iconic opening chords from the musical. The video ends with text that states "Something's Beginning."

Ryan Longman's goal against Lincoln City was his first for Wrexham
Wrexham kept the promotion celebrations going as they signed off from League One with a comfortable and clinical win at Lincoln City
Elliot Lee and Ryan Longman's second-half goals earned a 27th victory of a campaign that sees them return to the second tier for the first time in 43 years
It took Phil Parkinson's side onto 92 points
ending the midtable Imps' unbeaten run at home that had stretched back to February
Michael Skubala's Lincoln finished 11th in the final table
15 points ahead of the relegation places and 17 points off the play-offs
runners up behind title-winners Birmingham City
again underlined why they will be playing Championship football next season after an unprecedented third straight promotion as they made the most of the chances they forged
Providing the quality when it mattered and staying strong defensively when needed has been key for Parkinson's team who will now be playing second-tier football in three months' time – two years on from being in non-league
It was fitting that it was Lee who opened the scoring too; the only change from last week's promotion-sealing win over Charlton Athletic
the midfielder was among those who had been in the side that had earned that first step out of the National League
Wrexham were – understandably – below par to begin with
with Lincoln perhaps frustrated they failed to make more of their opponent's off-key start
The first-half drabness was in contrast to the final day colour provided by supporters
certainly among the travelling Wrexham fans
In a fancy-dress farewell to the third tier
clowns and – of course – Deadpool all made the most of the occasion
Wrexham had been forced to say farewell to the Football League in their final match before relegation to non-league
Times are different now and it is why supporters were keen to make the most of the moment
before the celebrations there was time for remembrance and reflection
with fans of both sides staying solemnly silent as respects were paid 40 years on from the Bradford City fire disaster
Lincoln had been the opponents on that tragic day at Valley Parade with two Imps fans – Bill Stacey and Jim West – among the 56 who died
Mr Stacey's family and Lincoln captain Paudie O'Connor laid a wreath in front of the Stacey West Stand
it was Lincoln who enjoyed the better of the opening 45 minutes
If not for some sharp reactions from Wrexham goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo
Skubala's side could have easily taken a lead into the break with both James Gardner and Reeco Hackett threatening
But Wrexham emerged from the interval far more like their promotion-winning selves
with their rediscovered energy rewarded 53 minutes in as Lee powered a header home from Longman's cross from the right
It was a sweeping move from Wrexham for the breakthrough
and it was another impressive passing combination that provided the second with Longman this time finishing after being played in by James McClean
Lincoln substitute Jack Moylan was denied at the near post by Okonkwo as the Imps tried to dampen the party atmosphere
But Wrexham kept their clean sheet to continue the celebrations to end an historic season for the north Wales club
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson told BBC Sport Wales:
"We wanted to finish in a professional manner and we spoke to the lads about that
"The perception of the group celebrations last week and the lads jetting out to Vegas this week – but in between that we wanted to finish the season well
I'm really pleased with that and I'm also delighted with 26 points from the last 11 away games – that's an outstanding return at any level of football
the wind was probably stronger than people realised and we didn't quite get the control we wanted
Lincoln City head coach Michael Skubala told BBC Radio Lincolnshire:
"I honestly thought we were so good first half – we did everything but score
You saw a team that wanted to take it to Wrexham
"But you always know against Wrexham that if you don't score they stick it out and they win 1-0
which is put it in the box and score to make it 1-0 and then it becomes a really tough afternoon
"Not where we wanted to finish this season but I'm really proud of the lads and really proud of what they've been doing."

Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer is welcoming back Elliott Gould for the fourth season and welcoming four new guest stars to the cast
How about some new casting news regarding the fourth season of Showrunners Dailyn Rodriguez and Ted Humphrey's Manuel Garcia-Rulfo-starring Netflix series adaptation of bestselling author Michael Connelly's The Lincoln Lawyer?. Deadline Hollywood is reporting exclusively that Emmanuelle Chriqui (Superman & Lois)
and Javon Johnson (The Oval) have joined the cast as guest stars
In addition, Elliott Gould is returning as David "Legal" Siegel
and Krista Warner is reprising their role as Hayley Haller
Chriqui's Jeanine Ferrigno is the girlfriend of a local gangster who finds herself mixed up in a criminal enterprise
giving her information pivotal to Mickey's (Garcia-Rulfo) defense
O'Mara's Jack Gilroy is the current boyfriend of Mickey's ex-wife
which allows him to work with established and up-and-coming athletes in Southern California
Johnson's Carter Gates is described as a decent
hard-working business owner who'd turned his life around after legal troubles in his youth and now finds himself accused of murder
Chef and restaurateur Chef Nancy Silverton will play herself in a cameo appearance
Also joining Garcia-Rulfo's Mickey Haller for the fourth season of The Lincoln Lawyer are Becki Newton (Lorna)
Entourage) Dana Berg is Maggie's colleague from her days in the LA district attorney's office
a relentless prosecutor who will let nothing stand in the way of a guilty verdict
has a single-mindedness that earned her the nickname "Death Row Dana." A fierce and ruthless adversary who bends the rules to her advantage
she's the last person Mickey wants to go up against in what will be the trial of his life
Sasha Alexander's (NBC's Law & Order: SVU) FBI Agent Dawn Ruth is a no-nonsense and intimidating
She and her colleague interrupt Mickey's dinner to not-so-subtly threaten him to drop his investigation into the FBI
and KTLA Reporter Kacey Montoya have also reportedly joined the cast
Henderson's Yannick Bamba is a former gang member and the man in the cell next to Mickey's
he's been hired to be Mickey's protection while he's in jail
He gives Mickey pointers like survival tips on getting through the day and the night in lockup
Zumbado's Grace is Izzy's (Jazzmine Raycole) fun
leading to Grace becoming a part of the Haller and Associates team and helping in Mickey's defense
"Well, the biggest cliffhanger of all is 'What is going to happen to Mickey?' and that one certainly plays out across the whole season in the form of his trial," Humphrey shared during an interview with Netflix's TUDUM
you'll understand at least the broad strokes of what specifically has happened and what charges — and adversaries — Mickey is facing
This is going to be the biggest and most personal challenge Mickey has ever faced and also the biggest roller coaster we've yet taken our audience on
our other characters will be dealing not only with Mickey's case but with a slew of challenges they're facing as well
I was so happy with how the third season finale turned out
and I am also directing the opener of Season 4
so it feels like we are picking up right where we left off
which is really fun for me and also creatively very satisfying."
"All the advice he's given clients over the years
now he has to give himself — and he realizes how hollow some of it sounds when you're the one it's bouncing off of," added the co-showrunner (who is also directing the first two episodes of the fourth season) about Mickey facing the reality of being the client in this situation
"He's got to deal with how this impacts not just him but also his family and loved ones
But don't worry — he's going to have help from some of the people our audience loves the most
as well as some familiar faces who will be cropping up along the way — some helpfully… some perhaps not so helpfully

In a commencement address that traced his own family’s journey through America’s complicated past, Maryland Governor Wes Moore delivered a powerful message to Lincoln University’s Class of 2025—one about true patriotism and the shoulders we stand on
Moore—Maryland’s first Black governor and only the third Black person ever elected governor of any U.S
state—wove personal narrative into national purpose
urging graduates to embrace a more nuanced vision of what it means to love one’s country
At the heart of Moore’s address was the remarkable story of his grandfather, Reverend Doctor James Thomas, a Lincoln University graduate whose journey from “American exile to American patriot” formed the emotional backbone of his message
“My grandfather was born in South Carolina
the child of Jamaican immigrants new to the United States,” Moore told the graduates
he and his parents fled back to Jamaica—chased away by the Ku Klux Klan.”
This early trauma—being rejected by his country because of something “that should have been a source of pride
not prejudice”—didn’t extinguish James Thomas’s love for America
While most of Moore’s extended family vowed never to return to the United States
‘This country would be incomplete without me!'” Moore recalled
Delivering the speech at his grandfather’s alma mater made the moment even more personal
Moore was shown artifacts from his grandfather’s time at Lincoln—his transcript
“I get emotional when I think about that moment of standing in the same spaces that he did,” Moore shared with ESSENCE in an interview after the speech
“It serves as an important reminder of what he had to endure… his earliest memories in life were watching this country reject him.”
this family history isn’t just a personal story but a powerful lens through which to understand our collective national journey
“that in this moment when people are watching what is happening to so many communities when people are watching an assault on our history and an assault on our livelihood
I think people also are learning and will continue to learn that we don’t flinch
because we’re just built differently.”
Moore outlined what he called three lessons he learned about patriotism in his commencement address that challenge simplistic notions of national identity:
1.Patriotism is never passive: “Your love of country will always be tested—in ways both big and small
Patriotism is a responsibility of a lifetime.”
2.Loving your country doesn’t mean believing it’s perfect: “Being an American has always come with struggle and sacrifice.”
3.Skepticism about your country is justified: “Loving your country doesn’t mean lying about its history
But you should always keep skepticism as your companion
noting that patriots “are people who are willing to sacrifice their today for a better tomorrow for others.” He emphasized that patriots understand the “unevenness about this country’s history” without concluding that America is “irredeemable.”
Moore positioned today’s America as divided between false extremes: “those who use patriotism as a club to beat others… and those who feel ashamed to bear the flag,” and between “those who think loving America means hating half the people in it…and those who allow cynicism about our nation’s history to obscure their aspirations.”
“leaves no room for someone like my grandfather” or for himself—”a boy who felt handcuffs on his wrists when he was just eleven years old because I grew up in a community that was overpoliced… but who now stands before you as the 63rd governor of my state.”
The governor challenged the graduating class to embrace a more nuanced perspective: “The hard part is being honest about our flaws—and courageous in addressing them.”
Moore drew powerful parallels between Lincoln University’s founding in 1854
during a period of intense national discord
“Lincoln was built for a moment like this because it was built in a moment like this,” he told the graduates
highlighting how the university was founded at a time when “our nation’s fabric was being tested… and it wasn’t entirely clear if we would end up a true
This historical context frames Moore’s call for graduates to be engaged citizens in our current moment of division
“I am here today not just because Lincoln University is one of the premier institutions of higher learning in this country,” he said
“but because I would not be here without you
This school created a way for me… because you created a way for James Thomas
Moore emphasized the importance of recognizing patriots in all their diversity
He specifically highlighted graduates of different backgrounds
including international student Valerie Ottutu from Nigeria
who graduated with a computer science degree and secured a position at a Fortune 500 company
But she came to the United States because she knew this country would be incomplete without her!” Moore declared in his speech
When asked about the importance of highlighting immigrants as patriots
“People are too easy to bastardize this term patriotism… The thing I wanted to highlight is that when we talk about patriots
my grandfather was maybe the greatest patriot that I’ve ever met.”
Moore concluded his address with a powerful charge to the graduates: “Live in such a way… that when you hand off this country to the next generation… your descendants will say back… ‘They understood the assignment.’ That is the most patriotic thing that you can do.”
He elaborated on this “assignment” for today’s graduates entering a divided America: “I’m asking them to lean in
and I’m asking them to truly be patriots… not in this faux definition of the word
A patriot is someone who understands this country’s history but doesn’t use that as an excuse to lean out
but they use it as a motivation to lean in.”
“I want them to be a part of history,” Moore said of the graduates
“I want them to put their fingerprints on a better future
this country is incomplete without them.”
Despite speculation about a possible presidential run in 2028
Moore told ESSENCE he remains firmly focused on addressing current challenges
“Anybody who is spending their time positioning themselves for 2028 is not taking 2025 seriously,” he said firmly
“I’m seeing federal workers who are my folks getting laid off
I’m seeing how our economy is getting thrown into the wind with these random tariff policies.”
The governor emphasized his commitment to his current role: “I’m very focused on making sure that in this time of crisis and in this time of chaos
the people of my state know they have a fighter as their governor
and they have someone who meets chaos with calm and meets chaos with resolve.”
Moore’s message delivered a vision of patriotism that is active
honest and inclusive—one that honors the past while committing to a better future
you are the living custodians of our nation’s past and the architects of its present,” Moore said
“And the relationship you build with this country will help determine our future.”

Celeste “Lisa” Frazier remembers when the building where she teaches now didn’t exist
the area only consisted of a two-way road stretching through the land
Considered the baby of the bunch out of five children
Frazier also remembers being the only one of her siblings to attend Rock Springs Elementary during the start of desegregation
“There weren’t many of us there,” she stated
recalling how many of the Black students remained at a school located where a Catholic church currently stands
Frazier went on to attend East Lincoln High School (ELHS)
the same school where she would ultimately land a teaching role after graduating college
Lincoln County has continued to be the place that Frazier calls home
“I’ve always wanted to be a special education teacher,” Frazier shared.
she would often find herself wandering into Jeanie Travis’s class where she was allowed to help out around the classroom or simply play with the students
This continued into high school as Frazier accompanied Wanda Reynolds
the teacher she eventually replaced at ELHS following Reynolds’ retirement
Frazier recalled receiving many inquiries from her father regarding her reason for inviting numerous of her peers to their home
It was common for her to extend a welcome particularly to other students who were bullied for their differences.
I did it in the neighborhood — the kids in the neighborhood that I knew that would have problems
I was always that nurturer,” she said.
while many kids her age opted to play outside
Frazier said that she preferred taking care of her cousin
Faced with a condition that prohibited Jimmy Poo from feeding himself or completing many other actions independently
although other children were afraid of him
having possessed the patience and tolerance necessary to endure having her hair pulled and face sobbed on
“I just knew then ‘this is what I’m doing for the rest of my life,’” she expressed
Her pursuit to serve students with learning and developmental differences led her to Winston-Salem State University (WSSU)
Having been raised in a time and place where her classrooms were predominantly white
Frazier said that it was impactful to experience “Black people being together” and the culture that is offered at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs)
“It was the best experience that I’ve ever had in my life,” Frazier said
on top of taking 18 credit hours every semester
Frazier was extremely immersed in campus life
Big Sister and served as president of the Student National Education Association during her senior year
Frazier became a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority
Frazier secured a work-study position as a tutor in the athletic department under the late Clarence”Big House” Gaines
she worked on the adolescent ward of a behavioral health center
working to explore a multitude of interests
“You couldn’t get that experience sitting in your dorm,” she asserted
Her connection and involvement at WSSU has continued as an alum
Frazier proudly shared that since graduating in 1984
her return to Winston-Salem marked the 40th anniversary celebration for her graduating class
Frazier initially accepted a teaching position in Virginia
becoming a high school teacher with Lincoln County schools
she taught a math and English resource course in addition to coaching basketball
Once presented with the opportunity to reconnect with her former high school basketball coach
she worked for him during his time as principal at East Lincoln Junior High
Frazier transitioned with Barkley to East Lincoln High School in the following years
where she remained until she first retired in 2014
Her time away from the classroom was short lived. Beginning in 2018, Frazier started tutoring with Lincoln County Schools. In 2021, she was welcomed back full-time at Lincoln Charter as an Exceptional Children teacher
Frazier remained on the move through her volunteerism and service in her community
It was in her first year at WSSU that she was introduced to the Special Olympics in Forsyth County
she was also recruited to be a coach by Karen Leonhardt
Frazier took over the coordinator role following Leonhardt’s retirement
“A lot of people thought that this was a job
but I’ve never been paid to do this,” she explained
her experience with the Special Olympics as a volunteer is done sheerly out of love.
This commitment to individuals with special needs meant that she also focused on expanding access and opportunities
Camp Love is one initiative used to expose her athletes to different experiences
The five-day sports camp allows participants to engage in various activities
Frazier offers a three-day music camp to her athletes
allowing them to interact with professional musicians
the summer camp focuses on incorporating music
Frazier shared that both programs have grown over time
50 students participated in the music camp and 70 participated in weeklong Camp Love
Frazier stated that they don’t just focus on playing
she also prepares students for various public experiences
such as learning job skills or teaching them how to communicate their order at restaurants
and impact of providing new opportunities to her student athletes
Frazier expressed the importance of treating individuals with special needs with dignity
understanding that they are capable of learning new things
Her one stipulation was that she would only foster kids who had special needs
recognizing the difficulty of finding them a placement
“That’s just where my heart has been all my life,” she said
Frazier stated that what she does isn’t about recognition or compensation but rather about loving people
she has been reminded that she wouldn’t make money in her line of work
I don’t need your money because I’m already rich.”
Frazier’s 40+ years as an educator and servant leader have landed her much recognition
she was recently crowned the 2024 Lincoln County’s “Woman of the Year” for her effort and dedication to her community
While Frazier said she felt honored and humbled
she asserted that the recognition and accolades won’t change what she does — “taking care of people

Vice-chancellor Prof Grant Edwards said it was a positive time for the university
‘‘Our student population continues to grow
Currently we are sitting at over 5000 students which is the largest the university has ever been
This has basically come off the back of very heavy domestic growth in the student population
A part of that is we have strategically moved the university to a postgraduate-intensity university and at this point of time over half our students are postgraduates and over half are over the age of 25.’’
He said Lincoln had continued to develop research pathways at a domestic and international level
the university was ready to address some of the big agri-food challenges including how to feed a growing world population
a changing and warming climate with more severe weather events
and an understanding agriculture was a significant contributor to climate change
He said the university had gone through a considerable transformation itself the past three or four years
was completed with upgrades made to student buildings and sport and recreation facility
A decarbonisation plan was in place for the decommissioning of the coal burner with a large commitment to solar energy generation early next year
as well as the restoration of the Ivey West and Memorial Hall
The strategic plan was committed to Lincoln being a specialist university for the land-based sectors
He had provided the introduction for the NZ Institute of Agricultural & Horticultural Science’s Canterbury Forum – Nitrogen: Friend or Foe
Prof Edwards said the turnout was the largest he had seen at a forum in the past four years
‘‘Obviously it’s a reflection of either the renewed vigour in agricultural and horticultural science and interest around that or particularly in the topic here today: Nitrogen: Friend or Foe?’’
The nitrogen issue was another dilemma representing the balance between production
‘‘Lincoln is certainly up for the challenge and directed to this we have developed a new qualification ..
which is the master of environment and agriculture
Lincoln University has designed a new qualification dedicated to teaching students how to leave out the tension between environment and agriculture to achieve better results for both and drive the future of food production systems."

VW Sell More EVs, Yet Makes a Lot Less Money
Ram Reveals Revamped, Stylish Sub-$50K 1500 Express
As a smaller package to Lincoln's bigger Aviator and Navigator
the $51,890 Nautilus plays alongside many rivals in the 2-row midsize luxury SUV segment
The 2025 model year marks a bold redesign for Lincoln’s Chinese-made SUV
but behind its sleek looks is a vehicle designed to deliver passengers more comfort and technology
Though it is more akin to a family hauler than a high-performance sports car
the new Nautilus is a compelling choice among many in this competitive segment
the Nautilus has a 2-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder that makes 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque
For those who want more power and better efficiency
Lincoln also offers the Nautilus with a hybrid powertrain that combines the same motor with a 100kW electric motor for a total output of 310 horsepower
The hybrid also delivers improved fuel economy
with an EPA-estimated 30 miles per gallon in the city
compared to an EPA-estimated 21 miles per gallon city
29 highway and 24 combined with the standard gas engine
Front-wheel drive is standard with optional all-wheel-drive
while hybrids get all-wheel drive standard
But while the Nautilus may be efficient under the hood
its strongest suit is what it offers inside the cabin
The standout feature of the 2025 Nautilus’s interior is a massive 48-inch panoramic digital display that stretches from one end of the dashboard to the other
it integrates Lincoln’s latest infotainment software featuring wireless Apple CarPlay
and Amazon Alexa with the digital gauges into a seamless interface akin to an expensive curved gaming monitor
Optional extras include a Revel Ultima 3D audio system and a head-up display
but over 100 cubic feet of generous passenger space comes standard
the rear cargo area offers 36.4 cubic feet of space
expanding to 71.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded; more than enough for Costco and IKEA runs of all types
While the Nautilus may not be the sportiest option in its class, it tries to deliver a frills-free and cushy ride with available features like adaptive suspension and Ford's own BlueCruise hands-free driving system
The result is an SUV that prioritizes ease
and a lower MSRP may be tempted to see the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus as a genuine option
buyers may sway to other cars in this segment from South Korea and Japan that also offer aggressive styling
Lincoln may be a Ford product, but don't be fooled into thinking that this sloped-back Genesis GV70 is some sort of fancified Hyundai Tucson wearing a fancy tuxedo
the Genesis starts at a lower MSRP of $46,200
around the similar starting point of the Lincoln Nautilus
and a surround view monitor on top of unique features like a fingerprint authenticator
The GV70 comes standard with a 300 horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four cylinder
with the option to move up to a 375 horsepower twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 in higher trims
All GV70s come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission connected to an all-wheel drive drivetrain
The EPA rates the four-banger GV70 at 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway while the V6 slightly reduces highway fuel economy
achieving 19 mpg city and 24 mpg on the highway
While one may be tempted with its interior
pleasing-to-the-touch materials that compliment its many advanced features
it falls short when it comes to raw passenger space compared to the Lincoln
It provides less rear legroom (37.2 inches in the GV70
its 28.9 cubic feet of rear cargo room with the seats up falls short of the 36.4 in the Lincoln
For 2025, the boffins at Honda's luxury division, Acura
have given a stylish new look to the MDX's exterior and a more refined interior
and in its place is a 12.3-inch touchscreen with built-in Google Assistant
The $51,200 MDX comes standard with a a 290-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 connected to a 10-speed automatic transmission
it can be optioned with Acura's Super-Handling All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD)
as well as a 355 horsepower Turbocharged 3-liter V6 in the top-trim MDX Type S
3.5-liter V6 MDX models at 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway
while the all wheel drive MDX with the same engine gets 19 mpg city and 25 highway
While the MDX can deliver sports-sedan handling and a 5.5-second 0-60 mph time with its most powerful motor
it is the only SUV on this list that features a third row
it provides ample room for passengers and cargo
Compared to the Lincoln's 39.8 inches of headroom and 43.1 inches of legroom
the Acura falls a bit short at 38.1 inches and 38.5 inches in its second row
the Acura unlocks a total of 48.4 cubic inches of cargo room over the the 36.4 in the Lincoln
There are reasons to why the Lexus RX has been the top-selling mid-size luxury SUV for 26 consecutive years
Though it is a five-seater that makes for a more comfortable
quiet boulevard and highway cruiser than a face-ripping backroad blaster
it is a compelling package for many buyers
The RX comes standard with a 275-horsepower
2.5-liter turbocharged inline-four cylinder connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission
the Lexus comes standard with front-wheel drive
and all-wheel drive can be ticked as an option
The EPA rates the RX350 at 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway while the AWD version gets 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway
its 102 cubic feet of passenger space falls short of the 113.5 cubic feet in the Lincoln
and its 30 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats is slightly less than the 36.4 cubic feet in the Lincoln
the RX comes standard with a 9.8-inch infotainment touchscreen
whereas higher trims get a giant 14-inch screen
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard
while optional navigation and a head-up display complement a modern interior design featuring ambient lighting and open-pore wood trim
The Lincoln Nautilus may provide more space and more compelling features than some of the choices listed above
this competitive segment offers wildly different choices providing different specialites behind each nameplate; whether it be the ultra-premium feel of the Genesis
the sports-sedan handling and optional HiPo-output from the Acura
or the security of being behind one of the most trusted luxury marques in the market
So if you're thinking about buying the Lincoln Nautilus
drive before you decide and you might have something cool and different on your driveway

A stretch of lakefront roadway will be closed on May 6, as Milwaukee County takes another stab at removing the abandoned boat "Deep Thought" from Lake Michigan
Here's which road closures to plan for Tuesday and how the latest boat removal attempt will work.
North Lincoln Memorial Drive will be closed in both directions between Lafayette Hill Road and East Water Tower Road to "ensure public safety and accommodate heavy equipment," according to Milwaukee County Parks. No traffic or parking will be allowed along the road.
At both intersections, there will be marked detours to redirect traffic westbound.
The impacted area of Lincoln Memorial Drive will be closed to parking starting the evening of Monday, May 6. Parked vehicles during that time may be towed.
Traffic will be closed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, May 6.
How will the boat removal work?Three cranes will be set up on land to lift the boat from the water, according to Milwaukee County Parks. There will also be security perimeter around the removal, which will be executed by All City Towing.
"Removing a large boat from the shoreline isn’t something we do every day, so it takes careful planning and coordination,” Guy Smith, executive director of Milwaukee County Parks, said in a news release. “We’re grateful for the community’s patience as we work to clear the site and restore this stretch of the lakefront.”

Lincoln University student Jonathan Jamieson is the latest recipient of Ravensdown’s Hugh Williams Memorial Scholarship
founded in memory of Hugh Williams; a Ravensdown director from 1987 to 2000, aims to encourage undergraduate study in an agricultural or horticultural degree and offers $5000 per year for a student studying at Lincoln or Massey universities
Children of Ravensdown shareholders are eligible to apply
Jamieson has always had a strong passion for agriculture
which led him to pursue a Bachelor of Commerce in Agriculture at Lincoln University
“I’ve always known I wanted to work in the sector
“During last year’s harvest I woke up at 5:30am to go asparagus picking to help fund my studies
This scholarship will allow me to focus even more on my academic and career goals,” he said
Jamieson is focusing on agribusiness and the science behind the industry
“I’ve grown up working on farms with the goal of one day owning my own farm
But deepening my understanding and learning the science behind it has been fascinating
“My studies relate directly to what I’m doing now,” he said
I can now identify different plants and know how to care for them.
“I also learnt that farming is about looking after the soil
It sustains everything in the agricultural sector
We have a responsibility to care for it for future generations.”
Jamieson was awarded the Prime Minister’s Scholarship
which allowed him to travel to Vietnam for six weeks
There he completed an agribusiness paper and learnt about the Vietnamese agricultural sector
Ravensdown CEO Garry Diack said Jamieson’s academic excellence and enthusiasm for the science behind farming made his entry stand out
“Jonathan shows a clear understanding of the importance of science for all forms of farming
and a passion for its ability to improve how we farm in the future.”
Chris Jones from Bayleys Real Estate said the site in Lincoln's Earlsbrook development is now available for a commercial retirement home operator or lifestyle village
Jones said the retirement village would "inject substantial economic benefits into the region"
"The successful purchaser will be investing tens of millions into the development
bringing lasting benefits to Lincoln and the surrounding areas.”
The 7.3ha site is set to go on the market soon
The Earlsbrook development on the outskirts of Lincoln is one of Canterbury’s largest master-planned subdivisions with room for 2100 new homes
The retirement village site is next to the development’s retail area
Stage one of the subdivision is already under construction
“There is massive buyer demand for this location
and we already have huge interest for future stages.”
Earlsbrook is being developed by The Carter Group
Director Tim Carter said it has been designed with walkable spaces and plenty of green areas "creating a true community atmosphere"
A Canterbury town's makeover is due to begin this year
eight years after the plans were first adopted
Selwyn District Council created the original Lincoln Town Centre plan in 2016
which focused on upgrading Gerald Street from Lincoln University to the Liffey Stream by James Street
The plan had five elements: buildings and active frontages
It involved "comprehensive consultation" and developed "subsequent actions for council to undertake to support the traditional village character of the town centre as it grows"
The region was the fastest-growing in the country - the population almost doubling in the last 10 years - and the renewal was desperately needed
according to community advocacy group Lincoln Voice
"We want it to actually get done because [the council] have been talking about it for so long," spokesperson Denise Carrick said
and it was important to keep that feel while ensuring the town continued to be safe and accessible
"[The plan] includes things like cycleways through the main town
There had been a noticeable rise in crashes this year
especially involving intersections and pedestrians
It was the main topic in the group's submission on the council's Waikirikiri ki Tua Future Selwyn project
which was asking the community to imagine what the district would look like in 50 to 100 years
"There's also extra car parking going in [under the renewal plan] which will take cars off the road and make it safer as well," Carrick said
The council's executive director of property and infrastructure
said the plan had always been produced as a long-term vision
"It was acknowledged at the time that it would be some years before the plan would be actioned as the council had already committed to other long-term upgrade projects which would need to be completed first as they had been agreed with the community first," he said
the upgrades were scheduled to begin in the 2027/2028 financial year
The budget for the original works was approximately $27m
"This work was brought forward in the 2024-2034 Long-Term Plan at a budget of approximately $46 million and we are working to begin the first stage of the Gerald Street upgrade in this financial year," Mason said
"That sounds like great news if it does actually start this year," Carrick said
Further information would be released in the next few months
An entire community has been told it'll be evicted - but some are feeling stressed and cannot afford to buy anywhere else

Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki Lincoln University welcomed a delegation from the Euroleague for Life Sciences (ELLS) to its campus in March
marking the alliance’s first official visit to Aotearoa New Zealand
Lincoln University is the sole ELLS partner in New Zealand and one of the only two based outside Europe
Representatives from the majority of member universities attended
with the four-day meeting solidifying and strengthening Lincoln’s partnership with the ELLS alliance
Damian Lodge said it was wonderful to host ELLS partners and show them Lincoln University’s revitalised campus
research facilities and new educational programmes
“This was an opportunity for the specialised agricultural and life sciences universities from Europe to meet with our academic staff
build networks and discuss student mobility and potential future research collaborations,” says Mr Lodge
Professor Arnold Bregt from Wageningen University in the Netherlands says he was impressed by the facilities at Lincoln University and enjoyed the welcoming environment
we were delighted to visit Lincoln University
We host meetings at a different member university annually
We have especially enjoyed visiting the University’s farms and research facilities and learning about the planned agrivoltaic installation,” said Prof Bregt
“ELLS is an alliance of land-based universities
each focusing on areas including natural resource management
environmental sciences and rural development
This cohesion allows ELLS to promote the global exchange of knowledge and innovation through student exchanges
offering students many amazing opportunities from undergraduate to post-graduate studies.”
Unique to ELLS is the annual Scientific Student Conference
established over a decade ago to encourage students within the life sciences to engage with one another and share their research
The student-centric event is organised by ELLS’ Student Association (ELSA)
was among the delegation visiting Lincoln University
“Each member and partner university in ELLS has two student representatives on ELSA
I was excited to come to Lincoln and share what we do with Lincoln University Students’ Association and organise the appointment of two student representatives to ELSA,” said Ms Otcova
has already established a student exchange with Lincoln to encourage student mobility and knowledge exchange
“The Master of Natural Resources Management and Ecological Engineering from Lincoln allows students to study for a semester at BOKU University in Vienna,” said Professor Hermann Bürstmayr from BOKU University
“There are many benefits to exchanges like this
Not only are students experiencing a different culture
but they are also expanding their skills and knowledge in new areas
with the view of adopting new methods that can create more sustainable systems worldwide,” he said

Traveling across the country by roads used to be nearly impossible
But Carl Fisher had a vision for a coast-to-coast highway that would open up America to anyone with a car
the Lincoln Highway became the nation’s first transcontinental thoroughfare
stretching from New York City to San Francisco
traveling across country by automobile didn’t make much sense
Paved roads didn’t exist beyond city limits and
usually only in the commercial areas of larger cities
or motels on the roads between communities either
If your vehicle got stuck in the mud or broke down
you had to rely on someone coming along to help
most travelers still found it easier to take the train
Fisher realized that if it were more practical
people would choose driving themselves over a train’s timetable
and that would lead to more automobile sales
In 1912 — the year after he held the first Indy 500 on his brick-paved Indiana Motor Speedway — Fisher began planning what would become America’s first transcontinental highway
a gravel road connecting Times Square in New York City to the upcoming 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco
He called it the Coast-to-Coast Rock Highway
The name didn’t last, but stretches of the Lincoln Highway, redesignated to honor America’s 16th president, still exist today in states like Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Ohio. According to Russell S. Rein, field secretary of the Lincoln Highway Association (LHA), you can use the map on the association’s website to retrace the route and even track whether you’re on its first
Rein says driving the Lincoln Highway offers a look at how automotive travel evolved over the decades
Funding and logistics impacted the original 1913 route
Department of Transportation didn’t exist at that time
Fisher turned to auto manufacturers and affiliated industries
cutting a new road through the country didn’t make sense
so Fisher and his newly formed LHA connected existing roads through as many major cities as possible to create a transcontinental route
Paint-marked telephone poles let drivers know they were on the new Lincoln Highway, but little else immediately changed. The LHA’s 1916 Official Road Guide called the journey “something of a sporting proposition” and estimated it would take a “pleasure party” about 20-30 days to make the trip from coast to coast
they might face rockslides going through mountain passes or get stuck in the mud and have to wait for a horsedrawn wagon to pull them out
manager of visitor services at the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor in Pennsylvania
travelers had to properly equip themselves with supplies like a shovel for digging out of mud
The Official Road Guide also encouraged them to take camp supplies like a 5-gallon milk can for water and Vaseline for gun maintenance and burns
the highway could be likened to having your own private jet after flying commercial
They could suddenly travel whenever they wanted and could get to their destination in less time as the highway improved
He didn’t just want a coast-to-coast highway
but an improved one that encouraged people to drive
To showcase what interstate highways could be
the LHA created “seedling miles” by donating cement to communities and asking them to pave their section
adding features like electric lights and roadside art to their paved example
the difference between paved and unpaved was obvious
Fisher hoped that once drivers experienced concrete roads
they’d fund similar construction in their communities
The LHA had a slogan for the plan: “Great oaks from little acorns grow; long roads of concrete from seedling miles will spring.”
and it quickly earned its nickname Main Street of America for two reasons
the highway went through many towns on their main road
But the Lincoln Highway also served as the nation’s literal Main Street
connecting towns and cities in the same way a community’s main road connected essentials like the store and doctor’s office
While many took the Lincoln Highway to get from one coast to the other or to visit one of the newly formed national parks
they were just as likely to pack a picnic and go for a Sunday drive
Eisenhower didn’t fall into any of these categories
crossed the nation on the Lincoln Highway as part of a military convoy
Rein says the Army wanted to demonstrate how improved roads could help move men and equipment more efficiently
“I’m sure that inspired Eisenhower to have an interstate system when he was president,” he continues
Before Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act 1956
an association of state highway and transportation departments adopted a numbered highway system to replace named ones in 1926
but the numbered highways didn’t always correspond to existing named highways As a result
the Lincoln Highway became US 30 through the Midwest and US 40
US 50 and other numbered highways elsewhere
So drivers could still follow the Lincoln Highway
its highway association created 3,000 concrete markers and asked local Boy Scout Troops to place them
because the original Lincoln Highway didn’t perfectly align with the new numbered highways
Rein believes that replacing the Lincoln Highway with numbered highways and rerouting portions of it led to the the highway’s decline
faster-moving highways such as the Pennsylvania Turnpike
the Lincoln Highway had begun seeing less traffic
As the Lincoln Highway faded into the background of numbered highways, Route 66 rose to prominence and has remained there for the last 100 years
(The so-called Mother Road celebrates its centennial in 2026.) Simpson credits the early 1960s TV show Route 66 and the iconic Chuck Berry song
“(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66,” with its popularity
adding that Route 66 is also a little easier to navigate today
That doesn’t mean it isn’t worth the effort to experience the Lincoln Highway
a member of the LHA board of directors representing Nebraska
encourages people to get off the interstate and explore the Lincoln Highway
“It’s a two-lane road that takes you through rural America,” she says
“You’re going through a small town every seven to ten miles
past cafes and post offices and historic buildings.”
She points to Lincoln Highway-era sights visitors can see while taking the route through Nebraska as examples: a seedling mile in Grand Island
a gift shop with a fort-like facade in North Platte
a giant covered wagon pulled by statuesque oxen in Kearney
and a brick-paved road that is listed in the National Register of Historic Places in Elkhorn
Motorists today can also see the painted telephone poles and concrete markers drivers once followed across the nation on the Lincoln Highway
driving the highway is driving through time
and he encourages everyone to experience it
It drives past unique sights like the coffee pot in Pennsylvania
and attractions along the Lincoln Highway have fallen into disrepair and been torn down
have fallen victim to fire and other disasters
“Why do I want to convince our visitors to see the Lincoln Highway?” he asks
referring to the people who visit the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor’s museum in Latrobe

Wally Lewis declared it was the “happiest day of his life” as he wed his love Lynda Adams the day after Anzac Day in a no-expenses spared bridal extravaganza
Behind the scenes, though, Woman’s Day reveals that the footy legend’s three grown-up children spent the better part of the day enjoying family time with their mum Jacqui
chose not to attend the over-the-top nuptials
despite their famous dad reportedly pleading with them to reconsider and support him on his big day
and Lynda made their way down the aisle at St Mary’s Anglican Church in Brisbane’s Kangaroo Point
youngest son Lincolnwas attending an Australian Tourism Exchange event at the city’s nearby Convention Centre
“So honoured to be the MC today for this year’s Tourism @australia ATE,” the actor posted to Instagram
the normally happy-go-lucky Lincoln was hurting
and feels incredibly betrayed and let down by the man who for most of his life was his greatest hero – all three kids have been through the wringer since 2021 when their dad announced the shock split after 36 years married to their mum,” the insider spills
It’s been 41 years between nuptials for the king of rugby league
tied the knot with his great love Jacqueline Green
at Brisbane’s St John’s Cathedral [a mere 2km from his weekend nuptials] – marking the beginning of one of the sweetest love stories in Australian sporting history
“Wally and Jacqui had the traditional church wedding at one of Brisbane’s finest landmarks – and four decades on
new bride Lynda wanted the same – complete with all the trimmings,” says the insider
“But this time around Lynda was sure it would be bigger and better – she enlisted a team of wedding planners
who made sure the reception venue at Old Government House was dressed to impress – it was like a Hollywood production
but he did have his close buddy and former teammate Gene Miles as his best man – and fellow Queenslander Paul “Fatty” Vautin was on the guest list
The rest of the wedding party of six were Lynda’s clan
Townsville millionaire businessman Mark Adams – even Sydney’s boyfriendJack was in the official party
Which makes it even more sad that not one of Wally’s kids will feature in the couple’s wedding album.”
And while Wally’s first family continue to support each other
Jacqui has not just moved on – she’s blossoming
“You can be sure she’s not the bitter ex sitting around seething – she’s so happy,” says a close friend
“She’s at her best when she’s with family
especially the four grandchildren – she’s loving her job
but she’s one strong woman – the fact she remained so dignified and silent throughout all this is testament to the sort of person she is,” adds the friend
“It’s all very well for people to say the kids need to move on
but only a few people know the whole story of what really happened
and how ugly the split actually was.”
Woman’s Day is committed to bringing entertainment and lifestyle news to women all over Australia
The approved resource consent was signed off last week by the Selwyn District Council
Stage one starts on Springs Rd and runs east along Collins Rd
It will feature 178 residential housing lots
There are also plans for eight super lots in the north of the subdivision to allow for higher-density developments in the future
Whether these will involve housing or retail is not yet clear
Lot 4000 will be a 3.02ha commercial super lot
The 4ha school lot (4001) will house a future primary school
Carter Group director Tim Carter said in May stage one would include 250 residential lots
A spokesperson for Carter Group would not say why the number of residential lots had decreased when asked by Selwyn Times
No announcement has been made on what brand of supermarket will be built at the site or what the size of the new school roll would be
the Selwyn Times understands construction work at the site will start this month
The subdivision has faced opposition from Lincoln residents
with advocacy group Lincoln Voice taking Carter Group to the Environment Court
Lincoln Voice’s appeal to stop the subdivision going ahead failed after the council approved the zoning changes to the area when it signed off its District Plan in August last year
The subdivision’s approval through the District Plan made Lincoln Voice’s Environment Court appeal null and void
It officially withdrew from the court action in April
