Throughout this week, fourth-grade students at North Elementary were taught African culture, history and choreography by Charles Ahovissi. Ahovissi worked with the students to prepare a program that they performed for their parents on Thursday afternoon.

My column this week is about two different flags and several men who pledged allegiance to the flag that represented their personal beliefs and convictions. The story of these men and the different flags that they honored is entwined within the context of the American Civil War and the banners that hundreds of thousands of men fought under and died for. For the Union, the flag was The Stars and Stripes and for the Confederacy it was The Stars and Bars. Right or wrong, each flag stirred the...

I love Christmas music. I just listed to Alvin and the Chipmunks singing of “Christmas Cheer.” Then I found the dog’s version of Jingle Bells. Amazing! They bring back memories of good times past. Christmas is supposed to be a happy, joyous season. We read of the angel’s visit to the shepherds of long ago and the glorious song of peace. We dress up our children in old bathrobes and let them act out the Christmas Story. We turn on the TV and see Scrooge redeemed, and Jimmy Stewart discover again his “Wonderful Life.” It’s a happy joyous season...
OSHKOSH – In its final tune-up before hosting its signature event of the season, the Sidney High wrestling team breezed to a pair of wins in a triangular meet hosted by Garden County on Thursday night. The Red Raiders recorded four pins on their way to a 60-18 victory over Hershey, and then registered seven falls in an 81-0 whipping of Garden County.

The Sidney High boys’ basketball team got out of the gates quickly against host Alliance on Thursday night, en route to a 73-51 victory. The Red Raiders opened up a 15-point lead by the intermission thanks to some great ball movement and pressure defense. They took advantage of numerous Alliance turnovers and cashed them in for points on the other end. Sidney improved to 5-1, while the Bulldogs slipped to 1-5. “We played great team offense, attacking and staying aggre...

Knight finished with a game-high 11 points – including eight of her team’s 14 points in the final period when it made the difference. Sidney, which evened its record at 3-3, trailed 16-15 at the intermission. It managed to outscore the Bulldogs 10-7 in t...
