This group, which calls itself Random Acts of Kindness or RAK, spent Wednesday and Thursday performing its work in Sidney. Thursday was day six of the group's 10 day kindness tour. "Basically we go from town to town doing random acts of...

  • Across The Fence: Hinhan Kaga Paha

    M. Timothy Nolting|Jun 20, 2014

    This past week my wife, Deb, and I attended a sacred Lakota ceremony for the freeing of the spirit and wiping of the tears. Lakota holy man Basil Brave Heart gathered us together on a high point of rocks overlooking a lush, green valley on the southern fringes of the Black Hills. Under the grey skies of an impending spring rain Basil sent the spirit of our close friend, David, on a journey where, in death, he would join the spirits of his ancestors. In his left hand, Basil held the sacred staff...

  • Historic Moments

    Kyril McGowan, Holy American Orthodox Church|Jun 20, 2014

    A few weeks ago, in the Holy city of Jerusalem, at the Church of Holy Sepulcher, an historic meeting took place. It was hosted by His Beatitude, Theophilos III, Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem. The meeting was a 50th anniversary commemoration of the meeting of His Holiness, Pope Paul VI, Pope of Rome and His All-Holiness, Athenagoras, Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople. At that meeting both the Pope and the Patriarch had discussions that resulted in the mutual lifting of the anathemas that divided their churches since year 1054....

  • Onstott's blast fuels 4-2 Sidney win

    Dave Faries|Jun 20, 2014

    If Post 17 was at all troubled by their early 2-0 deficit to district foe Gering on Thursday night, Colton Onstott quickly put their fears to rest. The veteran catcher drove in three runs and scored twice, helping Sidney secure a 4-2 win at Legion Park. But he turned the game around with a single swing of the bat. With one gone in the bottom of the second and Jaden Sears on base after drawing a leadoff walk, Onstott drove a Brent Barge fastball over the right field wall. The two-run homer...
