September 13, 2011 started out like any other day but ended with her infant grandson on a helicopter transport to Denver after suffering a seizure, said Wendi Schuessler, grandmother of the alleged victim, during her testimony in the first day of the State of Nebraska verses Nancy Gipfert. Gipfert is charged with one count of child abuse causing serious bodily injury, a felony for her alleged part in the incidences leading up to the infant's hospitalization. Michael Guinan and William Tangeman,...
For months, members of the Cheyenne County Ladies Chamber feared that the end of their organization was just around the corner. Members were reluctant to step into the officer positions due to the time commitment and current officers, like Diane Scott for example, felt as though she did not do the presidency justice. Family issues required her full attention during chamber term. After much consideration, the current officers decided to spend another year leading the Ladies Chamber. Scott will on... Full story
The city is finally prepared to begin towing abandoned, unlicensed and inoperable vehicles. At Tuesday's meeting, the city council approved a year long contract with Affordable Towing for this purpose—although some council members were perturbed that the council was advised to accept the only bid submitted. The original bid included specifications that the tow company must provide an area to store the vehicles. The only bidder then suggested to the city that Sidney store the vehicles on its own property to save some money. These changes i...

There’s a lot of hate in the world. I can admit that some of it lies within myself. I have very little patience for lazy people and those who are needlessly rude. Some people say that hate is growing and that the world is becoming a worse place than it was back in the good old days. I’m not sure this is true.

I also don’t think victims of the Crusades or any of the other past religious wars fought in various parts of th...
Richard Novak last visited Sidney in the middle of blizzard, one of those blinding, howling Western Nebraska winter days. "I couldn't even see the parking lot," he recalled. Few could-only a handful of people showed up for his recital and disappointed organizers from the High Plains Arts Council suggested they call the whole thing off. But the robust tenor from Texas just shook his head, knowing the show must always go on. "Let's do it," Novak told the group. Someone brought up on the legendary...
The bard himself recognized the massive difficulty of cramming a sprawling tale into narrow confines. Shakespeare's classic "Henry V" opens with a prologue, apologizing for the inability of the author to fit "vastly fields" and large armies onto the stage of his oval theater in London. He added another plea after being forced to crunch years of time "into an hourglass." Writer-director Gavin Hood faced a similar dilemma in bringing the 1985 novel "Ender's Game" to the small screen, in a manner...
