Nothing is more exciting, even to me, than seeing a seamlessly executed double play…or seeing a runner break up a double play in a cloud of dust. Either way it can be a game changer. But as the official, you can’t get sucked into the play. You must make sure you make the right call, ensuring everyone is safe and the play falls within the parameters of the rules. The most common rules violation during a double play attempts comes from the offense, in the form of interference. We discussed this last year, but in a difference situation. To bes...
Congratulations to the class of 2013! You have now completed your high school education and are moving on to the next exciting phase of your life.

Last year’s drought conditions across Nebraska forced irrigators, municipalities, industry and other users to pump heavily from groundwater wells. Just how much water they used is beginning to show up in spring readings from observation wells that are maintained by natural resource districts. Don Ogle, Information and Education Coordinator at the Sidney Natural Resource District (NRD), explained that last year was not only severe with little or no rain, but also hot and dry for so long that farmers required significant amounts of pumped w...
