One thing I didn’t mentally prepare for when moving to Nebraska was the fact that I would become a dislocated fan. I lived in Indiana for all 22 years of my life, until September when I jumped ship. But, because I had stayed in the same region, it never really occurred to me that my Midwest teams wouldn’t be broadcasted out here. It’s been really strange not seeing the Colts play every week. And finally, when they played on a Monday, they had a horrible game—right before the huge matchup with the Broncos. I really have enjoyed being able to...
James Russell of Sidney was sentenced last week on one count of burglary and one count of theft after his involvement in two break ins at the concession stand in Legion Park and thefts from numerous unlocked vehicles around town this summer.

Russell was arrested June 17 for the first burglary of the concession stand at Legion Park and theft of coins and cash from numerous vehicles. Russell stole money and various items from cars around Sidney from June 3 to June 13 of this...
The city council hopes that new stop signs on the alternate route to the north side of town will make it safer. A resolution to place stop signs on East Elm Street by the BNSF overpass came before the council at last week's meeting.

Chuck Hassebrook has spent his whole life in public service—36 years at the Center for Rural Affairs and 18 years on the University of Nebraska Board of Regents.

Though the race for governor is still in its early stages, Hassebrook already has volunteers in all 93 counties across the state. He has visited 50 of the counties and plans to travel to 75 by Thanksgiving. Because of his involvement at the C...
At set point in overtime of the finale, after yielding momentum to Chadron in the two previous sets, after watching the visitors take the game to the brink moments earlier, the Red Raiders had one thought on their minds. In the words of Cody Rowley, “We cannot lose this.” Coming off the weekend’s disappointing performance at the conference tournament, Sidney’s thrilling five set win over the 18-1 Cardinals was a lesson in character.

The Sidney Red Raiders golf team apparently found cold and wind just a little more to its liking than the combination of cold, wind and rain, as the squad moved up a spot to finish the 2013 Class B State Championships in fifth place in drier conditions. Though the team upped its status slightly, the Raiders leading player Rachel Petik dropped back a few spots to finish just out of the medals in a tie for 17th. Petik still led the Raiders with rounds of 88 and 95 for a 183 total. The other...
