Sidney was forced to make some tough decisions regarding the 2014-2015 proposed budget once staff learned of major increases in health care costs for the coming year. “We did have some unexpected challenges with health insurance costs,” said City Manager Gary Person at Tuesday’s city council meeting. Person attributed cost increases to the Affordable Care Act as well as some of the claim history the city experienced over the past year. The city was not prepared for such major increases. “As a result, we had to go back to the drawing board,...

Robin Williams was born in 1951, and I in 1953. Due to his rapid-fire wit, his zany antics and his overabundance of comedic talents, success came quick for him, more so than it did for others of our generation. In 1978, when I was trying to teach English composition to seventh- and eighth-graders in Lodgepole, Williams starred in his own television show, Mork and Mindy. Instead of learning to appreciate a poem’s text, my students would chant “na-noo, na-noo” – Mork’s nonsensical catchphra...
The Colorado Rockies still have 30 games left to play this season. But with a dismal 53-79 record – hey, it’s still better than my Texas Rangers’ record so Rickies’ fans pat yourselves on the back – the team might start thinking about its plan of attack this offseason.

The time frame between then and the start of spring training in February will be far more important to the Rockies than anything that transpired over this sorry season. The roster could be in serious fl...
