LA NINA WATCH Nebraska farmers are taking note as a La Nina Watch is being issued by the Climate Prediction Center for the fall and winter months. That relates to cooler sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean which has an im-pact on weather across North America. Meteorologist Dennis Todey, direc-tor of the USDA’s Midwest Climate Hub, says that prediction evolved quickly. “La Nina looks like the most likely outcome of our three possibili-ties, La Nina, El Nino and neutral conditions,” Todey says. “La Nina is the most likely condition as we get out into September, October, November, all through the winter until February, March, April.” Todey says there are still questions about the possible impacts of this development. “A number of the models vary from just marginal La Nina conditions to moderately strong ones,” Todey says. “There’s not a good consensus as to how strong this one will be, therefore, we’re kind of waffling on what the outlook is going to mean to us.” Todey says if a La Nina weather pattern develops, it could have more of an impact on winter weather. “No where does CPC put in a below-average chance for temperature but they are saying mostly equal chances for below or above average,” Todey says. “You’re balanc-ing this trend toward warmer winters with the La Nina conditions which have a little better probability of being cooler.” Todey says a La Nina system could also lead to more snow over the Midwest and Northern Plains this winter.

LAUNCH OF BRING UP NEBRASKA Governor Pete Ricketts and First Lady Susanne Shore, along with several other community leaders from across the state, officially launched Bring Up Nebraska. Bring Up Nebraska is a statewide effort to give local communi-ties the ability to develop long-term plans using the latest strategies to prevent life’s challenges from becoming a crisis for vulnerable Nebraska families and children. “Nebraska is the best place in the world because of its hard-working people and strong communities,” said Governor Ricketts. “Bring Up Nebraska is a great example of people, institutions, and volun-tary organizations coming together to help their neighbors and our most vulnerable Nebraskans. By focusing on prevention, many families can avoid potential crises and overcome challenges. Local communities are best situated to understand their own strengths, and Bring Up Nebraska leverages those resources to help Nebraska families in need.” First Lady Susanne Shore went on to say, “We need to look at any child in need as one of our own, and not as the state’s responsibility or Washington’s con-cern but one of our own kids. These are Nebraska’s kids. And we need to be the solution. I want Nebraska’s local community approach to be a

model for other states to follow when it comes to preventing problems from becoming a crisis for vulnerable families and children.”

GIVE BLOOD The American Red Cross urges eligible donors of all races and ethnicities to give blood to help ensure a diverse blood supply for patients in need. Some blood types are unique to certain racial and ethnic groups, so a diverse blood supply is important to meeting the medical needs of an in-creasingly diverse patient population. Patients who need repeated trans-fusions, like 11 year-old Tymia McCullough who has sickle cell disease, must have blood that is matched very closely. Patients are less likely to have complications from blood donated by someone with a similar ethnic-ity. Donors of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, as well as all blood types, are needed to help. October Bloodmobiles are scheduled in Curtis, Arapa-hoe, Hayes Center and Stratton. Check out www.redcrossblood.org for more information.

SPORTS The McCook Bison boys cross country team finished 14th at the UNK

Invite yesterday. Riley Mai led the Bison with a 39th place finish.

Dundy County-Stratton sophomore Sable Lambley won the Class D

girls division. The Hitchcock County girls placed sixth as a team

with Amanda Mote finishing 15th overall. The Dundy County-

Stratton boys were seventh as a team with Phillip Boyd placing

tenth overall. The Chase County girls and boys finished 15th and

16th in Class C. The Lady Bison volleyball team travels to Cozad

tonight for a triangular with the Haymakers and Cambridge. The

Lady Bison JV golfers will compete in the Dundy County-Stratton

Invite in Benkelman today.

The Nebraska football team practiced for over two hours with

helmets only on Monday evening inside the Hawks Championship

Center and outside on the Ed and Joyanne Gass Practice Field.

Offensive Coordinator Danny Langsdorf spoke with media about

finding an identity with the run game. Juniors Mikale Wilbon and

Devine Ozigbo led the run game last Saturday against Rutgers,

rushing for 79 and 105 yards, respectively. "We were able to re-

peat a lot of runs and have some success with them," Langsdorf

said. "Finding that identity that way is good and we were able to

come back to them and tried to dress those up a little bit. It was

good stuff. You saw some good runs by Devine but you really saw

some good production from Mikale too. We were able to get Jaylin

Bradley a couple carries and the good thing about it is we can keep

guys fresh and have some designed plays for them." Langsdorf

also commented on how the offensive line played and especially

highlighted the play of some key freshmen, including Brenden

Jaimes who became only the fifth true freshman in school history

to start on the offensive line for Nebraska.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “

It seems to me that any full grown, mature adult would have

a desire to be responsible, to help where he can in a world that needs so very much, that threatens us so very much.
