A public meeting held to discuss plans for a new city swimming pool brought forth quite a few concerns from Sidney residents about the type of pool and its possible location. Several members of city council as well as other members of the public attended the meeting, held on Wednesday at the city offices. “Probably from a city standpoint, what we can definitely afford to build is an outdoor pool,” Sidney mayor Wendall Gaston informed those in attendance. The city has allocated 30 percent of the new half percent sales tax that will be col...

I have no patience for people who attempt to completely ignore the unpleasant things that happen in life.

But bad things do happen often and people need to know about it. I recently reconnected with a very close friend from high school on Facebook. We exchanged quite a few lengthy messages talking about what was new in our lives before I told her about some n...

Yet he has toured Israel and Egypt, led missions to South America and China and met with people from all over the world--a broad education...
We made it! Today is the first day of spring, and even if the weather sometimes doesn’t reflect it winter is done. As President Gerald Ford once said, “My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.” OK, so it’s a bit strong to say that winter is a nightmare and I think Mr. Ford had something else on his mind back in August, 1974. Come to think of it, if you’ve ever spent a sweltering August day in Washington, D.C., you just might not mind a little touch of winter. But still, I think most everybody’s favorite season is spring. Pro...
