All the development projects underway in Sidney this summer make it difficult to find contractors willing to work on a job. The amount of work also inflates project prices. The city attempted to bid out several projects last week and received bids significantly higher than the engineer’s estimate on all of them. Sidney received only one bid for each project. In May, the city attempted to bid two of these projects, the water and sewer work on the Fairfield Marriott planned for the interstate area, and received no bids at all. In this second roun...
At Tuesday’s meeting, the city council approved a two year master contract with Midwest Cabling for boring work on the electric department’s underground conversion. In the past, the city considered buying its own boring machine and completing the work itself, but decided against that option. A new boring machine would cost the city around $200,000, but the city would also have to buy boring materials and factor in labor costs. It’s estimated that the cost through the master contractor for boring the 50,000 feet needed for the town’s underground...

Stop telling small children that you know or you meet how cute they are. We have a habit of fawning over children and praising their parents for creating such cute kids. Most kids are adorable and parents like to hear it, however when you see a friend or acquaintance’s child and you always praise them for their looks, what are you really telling them? You are telling that child that one of the most important things about them—maybe the most important thing—is how they look. This is true for all children, but especially for girls. We have this...
Your article in the Monday's edition regarding the Ponca Trail proposed by Congressman Fortenberry produced some interesting vibes for me and my family. One of the huge murals in the dome of the Nebraska Capital building painted by my nephew, Steven Roberts, depicts the trial of Chief Standing Bear in which the decision rendered by the presiding judge affirmed that members of the Indian nations were in fact citizens of the USA. Steve is a commercial artist who competed nationally for the contract to paint the murals in the Capital and is an... Full story
At first all seems calm and mild in the old western town of Low Humidity Chasm, which one must assume is down the line from Dry Gulch. The only speck of trouble is of a personal nature-the devious banker Rich Coldheart will foreclose on a family farm unless, of course, sweet Polly Wanda Cracker agrees to marry him. Thus begins this weekend's Potter melodrama, "How the West was Dun," which plays out on June 26-28 at the community's Legion Hall. As is so often the case in such productions,...
