A little local history and a meander through unmarked graves might be just spooky enough for some end of October fun.

National Drug Take Back Day will be held locally on Oct. 26 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Sidney Police Department. Drug take back is a program set up by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and is a safe way for people to dispose of their unused, unwanted or expired prescription medications. The medications are put into a sealed box and shipped to the DEA in St. Louis where they are incinerated. “It’s really the only safe way to dispose of medications,” Curtis Hofrock said. This will mark the fifth year that Sidney has participated in Na...

But, as Potter-Dix head coach Dale Frerichs pointed...
After two close set losses to the Garden County Eagles, the Potter-Dix Coyotes suffered an early exit at the MAC tournament on Saturday. The Coyotes fell by set scores of 25-22 and 25-23. “We didn’t play our best,” said Potter-Dix Head Coach Kristi Jung. “We weren’t agressive enough and we simply made too many errors.” The Eagles went on to win the third-place match against host South Platte. The Eagles lone loss in the tournament was to tournament winner Leyton in straight sets. “We played...
