This is the fifth case of pertussis within the nine- county health district in two weeks. SWNPHD is working with Ne- braska Department of Health and Human Services Epidemiology to monitor these cases and provide pertussis education. Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory disease, which can be hard to distin- guish from a cold in its early stages. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pertussis is known for uncon- trollable, violent coughing which often makes it hard to breathe. Per- tussis can affect people of all ages but can be very serious, even deadly, for babies less than a year old. The best way to protect against pertussis is by creating a "cocoon" around infants by having potential contacts get vaccinated, such as parents, grandparents, older siblings, and babysitters or other childcare providers. “Getting vaccines at the recommended time is the best way to protect against serious diseases like whooping cough. Parents should talk to their healthcare provider about vaccination concerns before opting out,” explains Melissa Propp, RN, SWNPHD Surveillance Nurse. “Vaccine preventable diseases are on the rise. This is a good time to review your shot records and make sure everyone in your family is current on their shots.” “BIG DEAL FOR NEBRASKA” Gov. Pete Ricketts says a new trade agreement that lowers tariffs between the United States and Japan would be a “big deal for Ne- braska” and farmers in particular if both sides can reach an agree- ment. Ricketts made the comment by telephone Monday from Japan, the latest stop on his foreign trade mission to promote Nebraska abroad and connect local businesses with Japanese officials. Ricketts says many officials and business leaders are cautiously optimistic about the agreement, but a lot of has to be done in a short period of time and there are still some issues to resolve. Japan is Nebraska’s largest export market for beef, pork, eggs and wheat. Ricketts says he has also encouraged Japanese businesses to invest in the state. RAISING AWARENESS In celebration of National Farm Safety and Health Week on Sept. 15-21, several organizations – such as the Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health (CS-CASH) at the University of Ne- braska Medical Center and the AgriSafe Network – are using the week to raise awareness of their expanding training resources fo- cused on reducing the risk of injury and illness in women working in agriculture. While noting that women have always played a role in working on the farm, Knesha Rose-Davison, health communications director for the AgriSafe Network, said the role of women in farming is growing. The 2017 U.S. Census estimates that 36% of all produc- ers are female and 56% of all farms have at least one female deci- sion maker. “The numbers went from about 970,000 women actively working in farming operations in 2012 to around 1.2 million in 2017,” Rose-Davison said. “With this 27% spike in the numbers, we have a concern about the unique safety issues women face when they’re working on the farm.” STOCKS DOW 38.05 TO 26,835.51 NASDAQ 15.637 TO 8,087.44 WEATHER TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 2019 Newsflash [email protected] 308-345-5400 www.highplainsradio.net Monday-Friday KBRL & The HAWK Sponsored by Koch Seed and Agronomy Big Ten Today Coaches Coffee Club Saturdays 8a-9a On KICX and KBRL Sponsored by Community Hospital Edward Jones Parker Hannifin Samway Floor Covering & Furniture Sehnerts Bakery & Bieroc Café State Farm Linda Maiden

ONE MORE CASE OF PERTUSSIS CONFIRMED Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) has con-firmed one additional case of pertussis (whooping cough) in South-west Nebraska. This is the fifth case of pertussis within the nine-county health district in two weeks. SWNPHD is working with Ne-braska Department of Health and Human Services Epidemiology to monitor these cases and provide pertussis education.

SPORTS
It's a busy Tuesday for McCook Bison fall sports teams. The
Lady Bison softball team will host Kearney Catholic at the
Jaycee Sports Complex. The Lady Bison volleyball team hits
the road north to face Ogallala. The Bison cross country
teams will compete at the Lexington Invite at Lakeside.
And the Lady Bison golfers are in North Platte for a nine-
hole dual at Iron Eagle.
Everywhere you looked in the hotel lobby, you saw Husker
fans. That translated later in the day on Saturday, as the
Nebraska support overwhelmed the home crowd, once
again creating a Sea of Red in a road venue. Then, the vis-
iting fans, some who traveled so far west, cringed as Ne-
braska, favored to win, faced late adversity. The first de-
feat of a young season appeared inevitable. But Big Red
persevered. Players united and executed when needed,
and the Huskers returned to Lincoln victorious, still unde-
feated. Yes, it's true. The No. 2 Nebraska volleyball team
overcame a 2-1 deficit and played an error-free fifth game
to defeat No. 25 San Diego 22-25, 25-19, 22-25, 25-22, 15-
11, to improve to 4-0. "I saw, when we got to the fifth
game, how unified and together they were and how much
they were playing for each other," Nebraska coach John
Cook said. "It was pretty cool to see this, 'We're going to
do this together,' and just how tight they pulled together."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will
think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that
we fear grows stronger. ~Tad Williams~
