WELCOME RAINFALL OVER THE WEEKEND Southwest Nebraska and northwest Kansas picked up some wel-come rainfall over the weekend and more is expected today. Re-ports of three inches or more of rain were reported in the McCook. High Plains Radio also received reports of four inches of more in parts of Hayes and Frontier counties. Rain is expected to move out by later tonight with dry conditions the rest of the week.

BRING UP NEBRASKA Today, Governor Pete Ricketts and First Lady Susanne Shore will be joined by Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) CEO Courtney Phillips, Nebraska State Senators, and rep-resentatives from the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation to announce Bring Up Nebraska, a new statewide prevention initiative. Bring Up Nebraska will be designed to give local community part-nerships the ability to develop long-term plans using the latest strategies and data to prevent life’s challenges from becoming a crisis for Nebraska families and children.

“AROUND THE WORLD WITH AMELIA” Members of the North Platte Town Hall Lecture Series will have the chance to fly around the world on Oct. 11. They will do it with Ame-lia Rose Earhart – the second speaker of the 2017-18 THLS season. Her talk, “Around the World with Amelia,” will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the North Platte Community Playhouse. Admission is a lecture se-ries membership. Earhart is best known for recreating the 1937 flight of her namesake, Amelia Mary Earhart, whose 28,000-mile flight around the world in a single engine aircraft became a symbol of determination, courage and empowerment for anyone who has ever decided to seek new horizons. However, it is Amelia Rose’s current work that has been gaining recent headlines. The Jaycees named her one of their 2014 Ten Outstanding Young Americans for her service and dedication in exemplifying the highest level of cul-tural, economic and personal progress as one of the nation’s emerg-ing leaders under 40 years old. More information about the lunch-eon, the 2017-18 speaker lineup and memberships is available on the lecture series website: nptownhall.com. Season tickets can also be purchased at the door prior to every presentation, or by calling Betty Guynan at (308) 530-8448.

NEBRASKA NOT TARGETED BY HACKERS A spokeswoman for the Nebraska Secretary of State's office says Nebraska was not among those states targeted by hackers last year. Laura Strimple says the U.S. Department of Homeland Secu-rity contacted the office Friday, but only to share that Nebraska's system had not been among those targeted. That comes as election officials in 21 states were told by the federal agency that hackers targeted their systems last year, although most were not breached. Homeland Security officials tell The Associated Press that hackers believed to be Russian agents targeted the voter registration sys-tems in September.

ON THIS DAY

1957 - 300 U.S. Army troops stood guard as nine black students were escorted to

class at Central High School in Little Rock, AR. The chil-

dren had been forced to with-draw 2 days earlier because

of unruly white mobs.

SPORTS

The McCook Lady Bison softball team won two games on Saturday

at the Lincoln Southeast Classic. The MHS girls knocked off Ben-

nington and Class A Lincoln Northstar and lost a 4-2 game against

Class A ranked Millard West. MHS will host Kearney on Thursday.

The Lady Bison volleyball team went 1-2 at the Holdrege Invite on

Saturday. After an opening round win over Ravenna, MHS fell to

Minden and Alliance. MHS will travel to Cozad tomorrow for a

triangular with the Haymakers and Cambridge. The Bison boys

tennis team finished second at the North Platte Invite on Friday.

Bison seniors Spencer Krysl and Sam Knoll won all five matches

and first place at number one doubles.

An air of "here we go again" hung over Memorial Stadium on

Saturday when Rutgers' Kiy Hester intercepted Tanner Lee early in

the second half and ran 33 yards to the end zone to give the Scar-

let Knights a three-point lead. A week earlier here, Northern Illi-

nois had two pick-sixes against Lee in one of Nebraska's most

humiliating losses in years. When Lee trotted onto the field for the

next series against the Scarlet Knights, he got booed, and the

Cornhuskers went three-and-out. But Coach Mike Riley stuck with

Lee for the possession after that, and the transfer from Tulane

completed 6 of 8 passes during a 97-yard drive that produced the

go-ahead touchdown in a 27-17 win. Lee, who has thrown a nation-

high nine interceptions, has been the fans' whipping boy during a

poor start to Riley's third year in Lincoln. He didn't pretend to not

hear the boos. "That was tough," he said. "I made a dumb play

there, that's for sure. I think the biggest thing was that we got the

ball back inside our own 5 and we finished with a touchdown. That

was the most important thing to us right there. We got it done."
