The Easter season has come and gone, but bunnies can still be found hopping around Cheyenne County as several 4-H students attended a rabbit workshop held Thursday evening at the county fairgrounds. "(Rabbits are) a great introduction to livestock," Cheyenne County UNL Extension Educator Cynthia Gill said. "It teaches kids how to care for an animal, it teaches them responsibility and it doesn't take a lot of space or financial commitment compared to other projects." The workshop was led by Cassi...
Positive behavioral support is the umbrella term for the training and tools provided to Sidney Public Schools (SPS) teachers, administration and counselors.

After years of Old English Times Roman type it was time to update the Sun-Telegraph appearance. As a newspaper, Sun-Telegraph must be relevant to our readers, our advertisers and engage the generations of the 21st century. As a member of the Stevenson Newspaper Group, the Sidney Sun-Telegraph incorporated the community’s identity with its largest employer – Cabela’s, with a photo rendering of the company’s bronze elk and its water tower slogan identifying Sidney as its World Headquarters. The size of our type has been enlarged a bit to make re...

One of my favorite pastimes, at least in recent years, is walking. I'm sure some of you have seen me walking up and down the streets of Sidney as I make my way to the county courthouse, city hall, public schools and other stops as I "beat the bushes" for potential leads. If I don't have to drive my truck, I don't. Which is probably why I always have the best parking space outside my apartment, come to think of it. I even try to enter walking events when I can, such as the "Walk Across Texas" com...
After 15 days on the job as publisher of the Sidney Sun-Telegraph it’s time to say hello. I was named publisher of the Sun-Telegraph on April 1. No foolin’. While it’s not monumental news, I wanted to take some time before introducing myself to you, our readers. I have owned and or published newspapers since Reagan was president. My career has taken me from my home state of Minnesota (home of Ole and Lena) to the mountains of San Diego County, to the northwestern reaches of Wisconsin, the Ozarks of Oklahoma, to the Front Range of Colorado, and...
Today as I drove my big "ole" yellow Sidney school bus into the bus barn, I realized the tank was getting close to empty. Knowing Rod our maintenance man was out on a driving assignment and I needed diesel today, Tim said he would fill it for me. I told him I would follow him to the station as I did not have a credit card. He gladly agreed to have me go with him and we filled up both buses. As we were standing there waiting for the pump to kick off giving us an indication that the tanks were...
