The grassroots group, Gambling with the Good Life is up in arms against an amendment on the Nebraska ballot this fall which it says would allow slot machines at horse tracks in the state. LR41CA would allow those visiting Nebraska horse tracks to bet on recorded horse races through video machines. Although those playing the machines can bet on previous horse races with the identity of that race concealed, they can also play a slot-machine type game as well, the group argued. There are only five licensed horse racing tracks in Nebraska right...

Powered by a three-hitter on the mound and a fifth inning two-run homer by ace right-hander Jayden Holman, Alliance scraped by the Post 17 Sidney senior team 2-1 on a somewhat wild Saturday night at Bower Park in Alliance. On the heels of some boisterous sixth-inning drama, the game was interrupted by a roughly 20-minute delay when the stadium lights and scoreboard suddenly went out.
