Even after a highly contested Republican primary in which each U.S. Senate candidate strove to prove he was more conservative than the next, Democratic candidate Dave Domina still believes centrism is the answer. Domina began his town hall on Friday morning at the Coffee Corner by praising Sidney's successes. "Think it would be a mistake not to start by saying congratulations to Sidney on the new hospital and lots of things being built around town," he said. He compared the differences and...

Moisture is almost always the main limiting factor in crop production yields in our area. I use moisture received from the 1st of October through the end of June the following year to m...
The Sidney senior American Legion team exploded for six runs in the top of the fourth inning to fuel a 10-6 win and a Post 17 junior-senior sweep at Ogallala on Friday night. The junior nine opened the evening with a 6-2 triumph as Keaton Wakefield went the distance to get the win.

With Sidney's Abbi Porter wearing the garb of the Red All-Stars and Raiders' Sarah Mahr, Katelin Cole and Cody Rowley parading their muskets...
