April 5County Escapes Serious Damage

- Cattlemen Have recourseWhile the southern Panhandle didn’t take the severe

damage and losses of those in eastern Nebraska, local entities, in particular cattlemen, still suffered hard-ship from the cyclone blizzard that struck the area in mid-March.

Cold, wet conditions came with extremely high winds, subjecting cattle - particularly new-borns - to dangerous conditions. With warnings of the pending severity of the storm going out days before it actually hit, cattlemen with the facilities were able to shelter their animals a little more. But for some, that wasn’t a viable option.

No one can put a number on cattle losses in Cheyenne County. Farm Service Agency executive director Brad Fraass said by FSA rule he can’t specify county losses, but said they were slightly higher than normal. Fraas did say as of last Friday, reports were still coming in and he had been told of new losses discovered after drifts behind a tree line melted down.

Aside from cattle losses, the county escaped in rela-tively good shape.

April 10Memorial planned for Former Teacher

Students of Sidney schools lost an asset, and friends and family want her remembered.

Tammy Sherman was an integral part of the West Elementary School community, according to principal Gene Russel.

Sherman died March 24 after losing her battle with cancer. But the story is how she conducted herself up to her last day in the classroom. Russel described her as a highly-dedicated fifth grade teacher. He said she continued making lesson plans through her last day in the classroom. She endured the pain cancer was wreaking on her body to ensure her students would excel.

She started teaching in the Sidney Public School District in 2015. A celebration of her life was held March 30.

“She definitely had high expectations for her stu-dents,” he said. “We are so sad to see her go.”

Emily Thomas and Natalie Jobman, representing the Cheyenne County Chamber of Commerce and the Sidney Public Schools, asked the board to memorialize Sherman’s commitment to West Elementary students with a tree and a plaque in her memory.

April 12Martinez loses postconviction

Appeal to Supreme CourtA man convicted of a 2012 murder in Sidney has

been denied postconviction relief by the Nebraska Supreme Court.

Larry Martinez was convicted in July 2012 in the shooting death of Mandy Kersham and was later sen-tenced to life in prison. Martinez later appealed the conviction, which was denied.

This time around, Martinez filed for postconviction relief, claiming his council was ineffective for not rais-ing his mental capacity in support of an argument that his statements to law enforcement should have been suppressed for being involuntary, and also for not rais-ing an argument that his mental capacity precluded him from acting with the premeditation, deliberation, and intent necessary to be found guilty of first degree murder.

According to the Supreme Court report, the district court denied Martinez’ motion without an evidentiary hearing. In its order, the district court reasoned that Martinez could have raised both of the claims at issue in this appeal in his direct appeal, but did not. The dis-trict court also found that, even if it was assumed that Martinez’ counsel provided deficient representation, Martinez could not demonstrate he was prejudiced.

April 19WNCC i&E Center Celebrates Success

A year and a half in the making, Western Nebraska Community College held an open house and ribbon cutting for its Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center Wednesday.

The center is testiment, said Sidney Campus Executive Director Paula Abbott, to what can be accomplished when people put their heads together to find a solution to a problem. Abbott reviewed how members of the chamber of commerce and Sidney’s economic development director got together to see what could be done to help people displaced by layoffs at Cabela’s.

That brainstorming resulted in the I&E Center, developed to help people stay in Sidney. One of the goals, she told those gathered, was to fill the needs with available resources.

“There were a lot of people with need, and there are resources out there to help,” Abbott said. “What we needed to do was to develop a way to connect state resources with the people in need.”

She thanked college President, Dr. Todd Holcomb, for his support when she pitched the idea.

“I’ve pitched a thousand ideas to him, and this is the one he accepted,” Abbott said, bringing laughter across the room.

“We wanted to make this the best innovation center possible,” she said.

April 24Sidney Event recognized by Suicide

prevention OrganizationA local program working to bring attention to the

impact of suicide was recognized recently for its efforts. In 2018, the Walk Out of Darkness event

needed a new leader, a coordinator. Liz Borgmann took on the challenge. The AFSP also urged involve-ment in the event by youth. Borgmann met with the Unified Raiders who then became a vital part of the event.

The Walk Out of Darkness suicide awareness event netted $6,800, nearly 200 percent of the goal, Borgmann said. The event had about 177 partici-pants. Not all supporters attended the event, she said. Borgmann and the Sidney community was rec-ognized at the AFSP Nebraska Chapter Leadership Conference on April 13.

April 26Council Approves Building purchase

3-2 Following Emotional HearingThe Sidney City Council held its second public hear-

ing on the proposed purchase of a three-story building at 13th Avenue and Illinois Street Tuesday.

The council previously addressed the proposal with four members of the council present. Mayor Roger Gallaway was absent on a previous engagement. The proposal did not pass after a 2-2 vote.

On Friday, April 12, a special meeting of the coun-cil was held to consider a second public hearing on the proposal. In the meeting, with all five members of the council present, Mayor Gallaway said he felt there were questions left unanswered in the previ-ous public hearing. In the special meeting, Economic Development Director Melissa Norgard said the UST Global president planned to attend the next hearing.

Tuesday, the council met before an overflow room of concerned citizens and company representatives.

Nearly two hours were spent hearing testimony from Sidney residents and business owners, and UST Global President Kevin Adams. Mayor Gallaway instructed the crowd that testimonies would be limited to 3 minutes and were to stay on subject; no direct attack on individuals. Gallaway also said the public hearing is not an opportunity to cross-examine city staff, council members or other speakers.
