Although rates of traffic fatalities in Nebraska remained virtually identical in 2012 and 2013, the number of alcohol-related fatalities decreased by around 10 percent last year, according to the Nebraska Department of Roads. In 2012, 43 percent of fatal crashes in the state had suspected alcohol involvement. This was the highest number in 20 years.

Most of us understand, deep down, that the presidency could hardly be called a cushy job. Most also know that national problems are never as easy to solve as television noisemakers would have us believe. Consider the intricacies of foreign policy, the personalities one must deal with across the globe, the various flash points, the unforeseen threats, the many worries on the domestic front, all that blather coming from Congress, the endless accusations from partisans ... To wrest command over all of this requires a rare combination of inner...
Coming into the final event of the Class B 2014 NSAA State Track & Field Championships in Omaha, the Red Raiders boys team held a tenuous grip on second place. It would be up to the 4x400-relay team to preserve a 1.5-point lead and earn the Raiders a prime spot in the closing ceremonies. After the final race was over and a school record set, a swarm of Raiders sprinted in from every corner of Burke Stadium to join in an impromptu celebration. Over the low fence that separated fans and coaches fr...

Perhaps the transition was best visualized by the Potter-Dix Coyotes girls team. As senior Kate Woten said her farewell in grand style, freshman Alexus Rozelle served notice of her arrival with a debut no less spectacular. Rozelle medaled in both events in...

Scott Phillips baffled Hershland's lineup throughout Sunday's Gering Tournament finale. He allowed only eight balls hit beyond the infield, two of those being excuse me bloopers. When the home side threatened in the third, he fanned Jayden Foster and coaxed Landon Maassen into a feeble pop up, stranding two in scoring position. "I didn't want to add to the pain," Phillips said. By that point Sidney had already committed three errors in the field, reacted too slowly to stop Colton Marshall's stea...
