A beautified entrance to Sidney is in the works for the intersection of 11th Ave. and Old Post Rd. Scott Day of Urban Development Services spoke to the city council at Tuesday’s meeting about what he called a gateway to Sidney which would include a long stone wall with a lighted “Sidney” sign, as well as surrounding landscaping. The project has been in the planning stages for quite some time. In the past, the council suggested that more work be done to beautify the entire intersection. “This is one of the key entryways to your communi...
This year's Cheyenne County Chamber Of Commerce Annual Banquet was held at the Holiday Inn on Wednesday.

The tragedy was compounded when Theodore’s mother died of typhoid fever that same day. So grief-stricken was Theodore by the double loss that he packed up and headed for a ranch in southwest North Dakota where he tended cattle for two years, expecting his sister in New York to care for his infant daughter. Upon his retur...
Diamonds do not mean love and they certainly don’t mean forever. I will never understand why a woman would be excited by receiving an expensive, generic piece of jewelry. I know that I’m quite different from many women and I don’t blame any lady for her affinity for nice jewelry. This doesn’t change the fact that if I ever received any item covered in diamonds, I would immediately think, “Someone’s gonna rob me for this.” Although, again, I have no problems with ladies who’d love some flowers and chocolates for Valentine’s Day (to each her...

Somehow it seems fitting that Ralph Kiner should have died on Babe Ruth’s birthday. Kiner, one of the great sluggers in baseball history died last Thursday, Feb. 6, at the ripe old age of 91 - the 119th anniversary of Babe Ruth’s birth. Kiner only played 10 years in the major leagues due to constant back issues. Ten years is the minimum allowed for induction into the MLB Hall of Fame. Nevertheless, he earned his way to Cooperstown with 369 home runs and 1,015 RBI. His best years were 1947 and 1949. In ‘47 he hit .313, belted 51 home runs and d...
