To do this I infused fresh mint into the butter that I would use to make the cookies. This would add a subtle hint of mint instead of an overpowering flavor. Make sure that before you use it to let it cool for at least 30 minutes. To begin always preheat the oven first. This recipe is a standard base for any cookie. If you wanted to make them chocolate instead, you’d take out the brown sugar and add cocoa powder instead. But for this recipe, I did not add anything. Next, you’ll want to combine the sugars and butter together beating with a mixer on high speed. If the sugar and butter mixture is not light and fluffy add the vanilla and eggs and keep mixing on high speed. It should become light and fluffy by then. In a separate bowl add all dry ingredients together. Slowly fold in dry ingredients w...

By Jaden Schiffhauer Photo by Jaden Schiffhauer On March 15 in 2019, students all around the world left their classrooms to show their growing concern over climate change and the environment. This is not an isolated event. Teens are growing more involved in government through a multitude of walkouts and protests in support of their views. Lincoln High School reflects this cultural shift with its increasing number of student walkouts, yet opinions at Lincoln are not all the same on the actual impacts and ideologies behind the movements. Social Sciences teacher Tim Swinehart is one individual at Lincoln who views the walkouts positively. “They really are an amazing way for students to not only speak directly to the world about what they want, but they actually lead to real change,” he said. “The walkouts have covered a wide range of issues like the March 15th Climate Strike, Green New Deal, gun safety, and abortion rights ones.” They also lead to additional classroom convers...

By Sarah Happel As a high school student, I should be focusing on academics, but instead, climate change is on my mind. This crisis could end in permanent damage to our planet, and my generation is the one that will have to deal with the consequences. The ice is melting, sea levels are rising, and some animal populations are rapidly decreasing. We need to do more to take care of our planet, not only for us, but for our home as well. In a survey conducted by Pew Research Center of adults in the United States, it was found that about six out of every ten people’s communities are affected by climate change. Earth is nearing its tipping point, and I’m worried that most people won't be willing to reverse the damage done to the planet until it’s too late. Not only am I scared for my own well-being, I am scared on behalf of my entire generation and generations to come. “We are getting close to the point of no return,” Scarlett Slick, a Lincoln High School freshman said.

   By Zoe Scogna I drew a comic about procrastination because it seemed fitting with finals coming up. Everyone procrastinates, wethear it be homework, chores, cutting junk food (me),  or exercise. As I only interviewed students, homework was the main thing people talked about avoided. I interviewed Anika RajBhandary and Jessica Grossi, both freshmen, and Kayla Scogna who's a sophomore. My comic illustrated the common theme of their stories combined. Scogna mentioned that she always tells herself she'll get work done but never does. Grossi said that she likes to watch TV instead. RajBhandary stated that she prefers to sleep over the weekend then do homework. All of them noted that they had to stay up late to finish. Graphic journalism is really different than writing, because its a form of visual story telling. I really enjoy it because I can tell a story through pictures. It's fun because I can incorporate some humor into it, not to mention my fabulous artist...
