Quitting can be intimidating, but free resources like the Nebraska Tobacco Quitlinemake it much easier. The week of November 18-22, Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD), the Nebraska Tobacco Quitline and other partners across the state are teaming up for Cessation Week. This week focuses on encour- aging Nebraskans to quit tobacco and promoting available re- sources to help quit tobacco for good. “Even if you have tried to quit in the past, but slipped up, you learned something from that experience, and that knowledge can be put toward another try,” said Joy Trail, SWNPHD’s Tobacco Program Manager. The Ne- braska Tobacco Quitline is offering a free two-week supply of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) to all qualified callers. Cessa- tion counseling and medication are both effective for treating nicotine dependence, but combining the two has been shown to increase the success rate. "By calling the Quitline, tobacco users have a whole team of support on their side," explains Joy Trail of SWNPHD. “You can get the tools you need to be successful by calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW, talking with your healthcare provider, and building your support network.” “GROW WITH GOOGLE” Google launched the Google.org Impact Challenge Nebraska, at the ‘Grow with Google’ digital skills training event, hosted by Omaha Public Library. The Google.org Impact Challenge Ne- braska invites nonprofits throughout the state to submit proposals for bold ideas to grow economic opportunities in their local com- munities. Grow with Google is the tech company’s initiative to cre- ate economic opportunities for Americans. “On the heels of ‘Grow with Google’ Nebraska, we are excited to continue partnering with local communities to help grow economic opportunities with the Nebraska Google.org Impact Challenge,” said Dan Harbeke, Google’s Regional Head of Public Policy and External Affairs. “The state is home to a vibrant nonprofit community with exciting visions for the future. Our hope is to help bring some of these vi- sions to life.” STOCKS DOW 1.63 TO 27,781.96 NAS 3.084 TO 8,479.02 WEATHER FRIDAY NOVEMBER 15, 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

NPPD SCAM WARNING Officials from Nebraska Public Power District are warning custom-ers, particularly in the McCook area, that an individual is contact-ing customers about tree trimming that NPPD is requiring the work to be done and asking for cash payment. NPPD said that when they do necessary tree trimming near power lines there is no charge to the landowner for the work. The utility recommends that if approached they should contact local law enforcement in McCook or law enforcement where they live, and NPPD at 1-888-ASK-NPPD (1-888-275-6773).

SPORTS Bill Moore and Chris Mock, both from McCook, will advance to

the American Poolplayers Association’s (APA) 9-Ball Doubles

including the 1st place purse of $3,500. Players that advance

to the APA Championship events in Las Vegas receive paid

entry fee/greens fees, a generous travel allowance and com-

plimentary lodging at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and

Casino, site of the APA Pool Championships. For more infor-

mation about the local APA Pool Leagues, contact the APA

League Office at 308-344-4811. Or follow the Western Ne-

braska APA Pool Leagues on Facebook.

Senior Nicea Eliely erupted for her first career double-double

by putting up 12 points and pulling down a career-best 15

rebounds to lead Nebraska to a 78-55 women's basketball

win over Morgan State on Thursday night. Sophomore Leigha

Brown added a big spark off the bench with a game-high 16

points and a career-high-matching five assists to help the

Huskers improve to 3-0 on the young season. Sophomore

Ashtyn Veerbeek and Kate Cain each pitched in 13 points

inside to drop Morgan State to 2-2 on the season.
