Beau McCoy had to laugh when asked what he might do about the persistent wind, if elected governor. The candidate recounted how, on his drive toward Sidney on Tuesday, he could have saved gas by putting the truck in neutral, allowing the tailwind to push the vehicle down the road. With less than two weeks to go before Nebraska's May 13 primary, however, McCoy was quite willing to brave 40 to 60 mile per hour gusts to visit again with local residents. In addition to the wind and the big issue tal...
In the archives of the Texas Trail Museum in Pine Bluffs, Wyoming I came across a file labeled, "Cook, Dave." In the file are several copies of hand written documents written by David F. Cook of Cheyenne, Wyoming. One document containing seven neatly written pages is titled, "Early Day Ranches Cheyenne Vicinity" at the top of page one, in a different hand, is written, "Uncle Dave wrote this Feb 1991." Nowhere in the documents does it tell of Uncle Dave's age in 1991 but the cursive writing is...

There is an old story about a man who was praying to God. He said, “God!” God responded, “Yes?” “Can I ask a question?” “Go right ahead,” God said. “God, what is a million years to you?” God said, “A million year to me is only a second.” “God, what is a million dollars to you?” God said, “A million dollars to me is as a penny.” So the man said, “Can I have a penny?” And God said, “Sure! Just a second.” But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. (2 Pet...
Close finishes, personal best efforts and plenty of drama made up the annual all-star track & field event known as The Best of the West Classic in Scottsbluff Thursday. Representatives from three area schools - Sidney, Potter-Dix and Leyton - sent qualifiers to the event, and all came away with the hardware of success. As only qualified team members were present, the Best of the West is more of an individual event than a team affair. However, the Sidney boys managed to outpoint the other 21...
The Sidney Red Raiders Golf team struggled to their worst team score of the season Thursday at the home of its most dangerous district opponent, Scottsbluff. Sidney finished the tournament with a total of 382 strokes at Scotts Bluff Country Club. Sidney's low score was again turned in by senior Brendon Brown, who recorded an 89. Ryan Birner (94), Bradey Radcliffe (97), Caleb Bowen (102) and Garrett Wamsley (108) also struggled in the cold and windy conditions. With a team consisting of players...
Wind whipped through the MAC tournament on Thursday. It forced drives to veer sharply into the trees. It stalled approach shots lofted toward the green. And it caused golfers to doubt each and every decision. There was, however, one consolation. "It was good to your back," Creek Valley's Wyatt McMillan reported. The Storm finished the day in second place behind a solid Bayard lineup. Lane Godfrey led the squad with an 83, taking third on the leaderboard by winning the tiebreaker over the...
