Taking note

Lincoln Reichard, a former Portland resident, won the grand prize in the Golden Lunchables Awards Contest and Sweepstakes "Best Brain" category.

Lincoln's essay won first place and a trip for four to the Nickelodeon Resort in Orlando, Fla., which includes airfare, hotel accommodations and $1,000 spending money.

Lincoln's mom Susan was former executive director for the United Way of Jay County. His grandparents are David Lyons, Diana Lyons and Frances Brown, all of Portland.
