  • Pre-screening necessary for Dental Days participants

    Lisana Eckenrode|May 23, 2013

    Local dentists are currently performing pre-screenings for the Panhandle Health District Dental Day, scheduled at area schools May 31 and June 1. All children who plan to attend the Dental Days must be pre-screened.

  • Crispin hard apple cider

    Dave Faries|May 23, 2013

    “Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by, from this day until the ending of the world, but we in it…” oh, forget it. Shakespeare was referring to the battle of Agincourt, anyway—not a brisk hard cider bottled in California. It’s just an assumption on my part that the label chose “Crispin” based upon Henry’s soliloquy in the bard’s famous “Henry V.” From the days of one room schoolhouses, students here were forced to memorize Shakespearean passages. Yet it took far longer for England’s summertime fa...

  • Sidney Seniors open season with a bang

    Dave Faries|May 23, 2013

    It was all downhill after the first inning for Sidney’s American Legion squad in Wednesday night’s season opener. Fortunately, the Seniors pounded out 10 runs in that frame, on their way to an 11-0, five inning whitewash of visiting Hershland. “We have to hit the ball—put hits together,” reported head coach Tim Herrera, feigning disappointment over the outcome. Over the final three innings his team indeed managed only one single, a shot off Hershland pitcher Josh Connell’s hand by Austin Pile...
