    Another trip around the sun. SAM and I have that in common. In 2019, the inaugural issue of the Advocate-Messenger made its debut on my birthday. Now, we're starting our sixth year of publication, a feat that isn't lost on Scott and me. It's been a positive and encouraging journey. Oh sure, there have been days when we wonder what the heck we're doing ... luckily, those days are few and far between. We feel like we're on solid ground and are excited to keep building the quality publication you e...

  • Honoring our patriots

    Sen. Deb Fischer|Sep 14, 2023

    On September 11, 2001, America suffered a series of terrible losses. Some lost offices or jobs when the Twin Towers came crashing down. Some lost a sense of safety and security as we watched buildings crumble on TV. Most tragically, many of us lost dear friends or family members to these atrocious attacks on our nation. Nebraska was no stranger to the widespread suffering caused by 9/11. Some of our own were lost that day and we remember them on this 22nd anniversary of the attacks. Navy Capt....

  • Six years after 'Cabela's debacle,' Sidney's lights are still on

    Natalia Alamdari, Flatwater Free Press|Apr 13, 2023

    The forest green roof and pair of bronze stags frozen in combat are impossible to miss as you drive down Interstate 80. So are the two corporate buildings – 550,000 square feet of nearly empty office space, long offered for a $1 a year lease. The water tower looms overhead, painted in the same green, heralding what once was: "Cabela's World Headquarters, City of Sidney." For 54 years, Cabela's made its home here, a juggernaut that kept the town humming. But in 2017, the sporting goods store s...

    LuAnn Schindler, Publisher|Nov 24, 2022

    The gift of gratitude. The topic has definitely been on my mind lately, even moreso as the holiday season approaches. I’ll blame TikTok for the latest obsession.

An anonymous donor gave $1 million to bless community members who have fallen on hard times. Recipients come from all walks of life: a 69-year-old widow diagnosed with cancer; a seasonal worker whose tools of the trade w...

    Trivia time: Which singer passed on the role of Sandy in the film version of “Grease?” Can you see Marie Osmond playing the good-girl-turned-biker-babe? What about Carrie Fisher? Or Susan Dey, who played Susan in “The Partridge Family?” The iconic film from my teen years would not be the same without Olivia Newton-John snuggled next to John Travolta as the two fly off into the clouds in the 1977 movie produced by Alan Carr. The entire family, and my high school beau, watched the box office...
