I solved this myself by using a method suggested by the asides. href=”http://codex.wordpress.org/Adding_Asides#Displaying_Asides_on_the_Sidebar”>

My final snippet looked like the following:

<!– Begin Urgent Announcements Loop –>

<?php
if ($posts) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp();
?>
<?php if (in_category(14)) { ?>
<div class=\\"asides_sidebar\\">
 <?php echo $post->post_excerpt ?> <?php the_content(); ?>
 <small><?php comments_popup_link(__('#'), __('(1)'), __('(%)')); ?>
   <?php edit_post_link('Edit', ' — '); ?></small>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; else: ?>
<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<!-- End Urgent Announcements Loop -->

<!-- Begin Main Content, Excluding Urgent Announcements Category -->

<?php rewind_posts(); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<!-- If the post is in the category we want to exclude, we simply pass to the next post. -->

<!-- insert data here -->

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h2 class=\\"center\\">Not Found</h2>
<p class=\\"center\\">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
<?php endif; ?>

<!-- End Main Content -->

For brevity’s sake, I did not post all of the things that should come within the loop. I did, however, place a comment where those things should be placed.
