A revenue growth of $475 million in 2013 as well as more stores in the future were highlights of the 2014 Cabela's shareholder meeting, held at Sidney High School Performing Arts Center. "You'll notice I'm not in a suit and tie," Cabela's CEO Tommy Millner told the audience. "There's several reasons for that. I hate suits and ties." He explained that he donned the "tans" that Cabela's outfitters wear in honor of the company's founder Dick Cabela, who died earlier this year. This is the first...

Floyd Landis rode his bicycle for the United States Postal Team for three years, from 2002-2004, alongside his teammate, Lance Armstrong, who won the Tour de France each of those years. Floyd admits now that during those three years, he cowered to Lance. It was known that “Lance called the shots on the team,” and “what Lance said went.” “He ran his team like a high-powered corporation.” Lance wanted to win big, and he did so by doping himself and his teammates. In 1995, Lance had lost a race...
When I went the Cabela’s shareholder meeting last year, a few days after I moved to Sidney, I can’t tell you how surprised I was at how devoted Cabela’s employees were to their company. Some of the workers’ emotional attachment to Cabela’s and its founders astonished me. This observation of Cabela’s employees’ dedication to their employer continued through my time here. At the shareholder meeting yesterday, as I milled through the crowd and spoke to a few people I heard nothing but positive comments. I’m sure everyone who works there isn’t hap...
Take a look at your neighbors yard, is there a pet in dire need of someone to love it? One that is in a small cage and not taken care of? Lucky to be fed and watered once a day, kennel has no place to walk around. People who can not keep their pets inside with them, should not own pets. That includes hunters, and their so called best friend. Yes they will still hunt if they live in the house, why not put up a fence and a dog door to the garage and their house in the garage, or someone needs to make you live like your pet? I am sorry but...

Wendall Gaston has served the people of Sidney for decades--not only as a pharmacist at Safeway, but also in city government. The current mayor of Sidney took the Safeway pharmacy position in 1999. Before that, he owned a place downtown, which he opened just after graduating from the University of Wyoming's pharmacy school in 1976. He also served on the city council for close to 13 years. During this time, Gaston also earned an MBA from the University of Nebraska and a doctorate from Kansas. He...
The Buckley Bombers from Chappell looked a little out of sorts after their first-inning rally was cut short by a technical fault--batting out of order. But the way pitcher Chance Dunker dominated the mound, it didn't really matter. With a no hitter served up to Sidney Post 17 by Dunker, the Bombers first inning mishap was quickly forgotten. They went on to an 11-1 win in a game which hit the 10-run rule after six innings. The juniors also had a disappointing end to their night as they let a 3-0...
I suppose Sidney Girls Head Basketball Coach Tyler Shaw said it best. In fact it made so much sense to him - and to me - he said it on multiple occasions. “They make good humans in Sidney,” he said. Right you are, coach. No arguments from me. They import good humans, too. Perhaps it’s something in the air that affects whoever graces this area of western Nebraska. I don’t know that anyone deserves to receive so much kindness as I have over the past 13-plus months, but I’m grateful. It’s not just since I’ve made it known that I’m moving on from...
