  • Authorities: Texting led to fatal crash involving teens

    Caitlin Sievers|Aug 21, 2014

    A local teen is accused of texting while driving before he was involved in a head-on collision that killed a 19-year-old Chappell girl last month. Hayden Graham, 16 of Sidney, was traveling west on Highway 30 about five miles east of Sidney when he allegedly crossed the center line and hit Karman Reichman on July 31, according to the sheriff’s office. When law enforcement arrived on scene, Graham had exited the Jeep Liberty he was driving. Reichman was pinned inside her four-door sedan. Both vehicles sustained front-end damage. Graham was t...

  • Tales of a coffee-holic: Goodbye, Sidney

    Caitlin Sievers|Aug 21, 2014

    There are a lot of things I’ll miss about Sidney and quite a few that I won’t. As I prepare to leave for a new job at the beginning of September and look back on my year here, I’ve learned a ton and met many people who I’ll never forget. When I arrived here, I was skeptical that I could make any friends and thought that everyone would probably hate me. But I’d like to thank the people of Sidney for (mostly) welcoming me and making me feel at home in what was once a strange and foreign place. I’ll miss working with all the local officials w...

  • Talking Sports: Major League rotations need to expand to six to cut down on injuries

    Will Korn|Aug 21, 2014

    More and more in today’s Major League Baseball, starting pitchers are suffering the consequences of overuse and extended periods of fatigue. The game has evolved so much from the early 20th century days of the two- or three-man rotations. One probably would have seen a complete game from the legendary Cy Young listed in every other day’s box score. A fan reading the July 3, 1962, edition of just about any paper in Milwaukee and San Francisco – heck, probably all over the nation – might remember seeing a “16” under the Giants’ Juan Marichal...
