Some people are never satisfied. Despite 21 personal-best performances and additional event wins, many members of the Potter-Dix track team didn’t feel it was a solid performance. “I would say about 15 were by athletes experienced in the event for which they earned a personal best,” said Coyotes head coach Robert Hilpert. At the Pine Bluffs High School Invitational at Carlstrum Field yesterday the Coyotes boys team finished in second place with 95 points. Lingle-Fort Laramie was best with 117 p...

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Hospitals and clinics are replacing paper files with sophisticated electronic health records. And although some systems can’t share information with each other, which could be a serious problem in an emergency, smartphones are starting to bridge that electronic gap. That capability is already available to Medicare patients and veterans. The Medicare Blue Button and a similar Veterans Affairs medical program allow patients to download three years of their medical history into a simple text file on their smartphones or per...

I encourage all Nebraskans to get involved in their communities as a volunteer during ServeNebraska Week of Service, April 22-28.

The ServeNebraska Week of Service works to inspire Nebraskans to seek out creative ways to serve their communities. This statewide effort encourages...
May marks the 140th anniversary of this newspaper. The Sidney Telegraph began publication this month in 1873. Although archival examples from the early years of the Telegraph are sketchy, staff reporters back in those days had plenty to keep them occupied. Apart from the movements of cavalry and the Union Pacific railroad, chugging along the Transcontinental line, the Sidney to Deadwood trail brought loads of gold--or sometimes empty stagecoaches--into down. Wild west shootings filled Boot Hill Cemetery. The likes of Wild Bill Hickok,...
For me the best part about this job has been meeting all of the different, amazing people that call Sidney home. I have found that everyone is uniquely different and bring their own special expertise in certain fields to the community table. Like I’ve said in previous columns, even those who think that they aren’t special and who think that they don’t have a story worth being written about them are wrong. Another aspect of meeting people that intrigued me was what some people would previously tell me about someone I was set to interview with....

BOSTON — Three men who attended college with the Boston Marathon bombing suspect removed his backpack from his dorm room at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth three days after the attack, according to charges filed Wednesday. Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev are charged with conspiring to obstruct justice. A third man, Robel Phillipos, is charged with making false statements to federal investigators. The affidavit says Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev agreed to get rid of the backpack after concluding from news reports that Dzhokhar T...
OMAHA — A monthly economic survey index for nine Midwest and Plains states dipped for the second consecutive month in April, but the survey’s organizer said the index indicates slow growth for the region in the coming three to six months. The Mid-America Business Conditions index dropped to 56.8 in April, compared with 58.2 in March, according to a report released Wednesday. Businesses leaders were slightly more optimistic about the regional economy in the next six months, with the April business confidence index rising to 59.9 from 58.2 in...
According to Nebraska lawmakers, the state spends approximately $95 million on child-care subsidies each year for low-income, working families. Until now, the state has had no way of tracking the quality of care that these children receive through the subsidies. Yesterday lawmakers gave initial approval of a bill that would make it mandatory for those child-care providers that collect at least $250,000 a year to be rated by the state. An AP source said that last year 62 private child-care providers collected that amount. This served over...
