A smaller right of way along portions of the Toledo St. extension—soon to be Pole Creek Crossing—and Greenwood Rd. will make for some inconsistency in sidewalk placement. The city previously requested an extra seven feet of right of way from landowners along the Pole Creek Crossing extension as well as along the area slated for improvement on Greenwood Rd. The city is usually granted 80 feet of right of way for streets. Because Toledo St. and Greenwood Rd. are former county roads which were incorporated into Sidney, the city only has 66 feet of...

William Jackson Palmer, who led the survey crew, discovered large veins of coal that lay close to the surface and provided relatively easy access for mining operations.

Only 243 days left until Christmas! Sadly, that is how long it might be until we see some people in our churches again now that Easter Sunday is past. Even though we often remind people that our churches are “open for business” between Easter and Christmas, too many don’t really seem to care. For a growing number of people, being genuinely committed to a church family is not a priority in life. Recent survey statistics by the Barna Group reveal that 51% of American adults say that church attendance is not important to them. Among those 30 ye...

On a largely treeless course the wind was able to sweep over the countless mounds and hollows of Wild Horse Golf Club in Gothenburg on Thursday, preventing most in the large field of 74 from gaining any consistency over the par 72, 6,335-yard track. The Sidney Red Raiders finished in fifth among the 14 teams attending with a total of 355 strokes. Meanwhile Sidney's district rivals McCook and Scottsbluff were separated by just two stokes for the top spot. The Bison came out on top with their...
