MAJOR DISASTER DESIGNATION Following President Trump’s disaster designation for Nebraska, Ne-braska Farm Bureau President Steve Nelson released the following statement. “Nebraska’s farmers, ranchers, and rural citizens sincerely appreciate President Trump’s actions issuing a Major Disaster Desig-nation. Extensive flooding throughout large portions of the state has decimated farms, ranches, small towns, and larger metro areas alike.” “For the farm and ranch families who have experienced the loss of livestock and destruction of homes and buildings, documenta-tion of these losses will be important for any federal aid applica-tions. While these programs will certainly not make anyone whole, we hope this new level of federal assistance paired with the unmis-takable resiliency of our citizens will help all of those affected get back on their feet.” Nebraska Farm Bureau established a Disaster Relief Fund at the Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation to provide emergency aid to Nebraska farmers, ranchers, and rural communities affected by recent storms and flooding.

SPORTS The McCook Lady Bison Tennis team improved their dual record to 4-0 with wins over Hershey and North Platte yes-terday. The MHS girls will host Hastings on Tuesday. The Bison golfers are in North Platte today for their first invite of the spring. The McCook Community College men’s golf team got off to a great start to the 2019 part of the 2018-19 golf season finishing the first round of the Region IX meet in first place with Indian golfers occupying three of the top four individual scores of the day. MCC finished the round Thurs-day in Lamar with a 292 – eight shots better than second place Eastern Wyoming. The Indians started the day 20 points back in the season-long standings (60-40) to Eastern Wyoming and home to reel in the Lancers with another strong performance in the final round Friday. Sophomore Cameron Lampe (Windsor, Colo) shot an opening round Thursday of 71 to tie for first place. Freshman Chesney Tat-man (North Platte) shot a 72, good for third place. The Nebraska Community College Athletic Conference has named its 2018-2019 all-conference team as selected by the coaches, who were not allowed to vote for their own players. McCook Community College’s Hailey Tiles was the only unanimous pick garnering all three first-place votes. Also named to the team were Makenna Bodette and Anna San-juan. Former MCC coach Kellen Fernetti was also named co-coach of the year along with Central Community College Coach Billy Perkins.
