If the Sidney High School girls basketball team is looking for a blueprint on how to conduct business in the second half of the season, it got a pretty good lesson Saturday afternoon. Douglas, Wyo., the top-ranked Class 3A squad in the Cowboy State, put on a defensive clinic in the championship game of the Cabela’s Holiday Shootout, stifling the Lady Raiders’ offense in a 51-32 victory. Sidney (7-2), which takes pride in its own defensive schemes, had but one lead in this affair, that being 8-6... Full story
As long as Sidney High School boys basketball coach Erik Kohl can figure his own team out, the Red Raiders are likely to put up more struggles. “Right now, if I am coaching against us, I’d play a zone against us,” Kohl said after watching his club fall 52-49 to Gering in Saturday afternoon’s third-place game in the Cabela’s Holiday Shootout. “We are going to have to keep guys in the gym later than they have been recently in practice.” In dropping successive games to close out their own hol...

Before reading any further, be forewarned: this is not a story for the weak of heart. It is filled with snakes, destruction, filth, war and loss. But every word is true. I know. I lived it. The other day my 8-year-old called me into the bathroom. With a frown, he pointed downward. My eyes followed his path to the toilet bowl, which was filled with yellow water and a bright red Matchbox car. When I asked how the car got in the toilet, he motioned toward his sweatshirt pocket – bulging with little metal cars – and I gave silent thanks that onl...
For me the year 2012 ended in a different fashion then I am use to. I’m used to getting together with all my friends to enjoy the Seattle Space Needle fireworks show at midnight, and the fun of the town afterward. If you had asked me when I graduated from college last spring where I would be half a year from now, my ideas would have spanned from Seattle to New York City. In all of the destinations that came to my mind however, Nebraska hadn’t been one of them. It’s funny thinking back on it now, but a year ago this December I remember sitti...

WASHINGTON — Past its own New Year’s deadline, a weary Congress sent President Barack Obama legislation to avoid a national “fiscal cliff” of middle class tax increases and spending cuts late Tuesday night in the culmination of a struggle that strained America’s divided government to the limit. The bill’s passage on a bipartisan 257-167 vote in the House sealed a hard-won political triumph for the president less than two months after he secured re-election while calling for higher taxes on the wealthy. Moments later, Obama strode into the Wh...
CDs, car stereos, guitars, body jewelry, incense, used DVDs and now antiques – an odd expansion but one that just may work. For the past few months Allan Lundgren owner of Budget and Tammy Temple, owner of Rust N Roses have been one combined business – and soon to be one on the personal front as well. “Me and Tammy are getting married and we wanted to combine our businesses so we’d be in the same place,” Lundgren said. “We had the opportunity to do so with this side,” she refers to the Budget CD...
