Young monsters and goblins are encouraged to come dressed in their costumes. Bring a bucket or bag to catch all of the candy, MCC students and staff will be decorating car trunks and vehicles from which they will hand out candy to trunk-or-treaters. In addition the student union will be filled with Halloween-type carni-val events with games, activities, prizes and more candy.

PROPOSAL TO LOWER VOTING AGE State Senator Anna Wishart says she’s aware that her proposal to lower the State voting age to 16 is will be an uphill battle. “I look forward to these types of initiatives that make us stop and think about what it means to be a voter and what it means to be civically engaged.” She says a healthy level of skepticism is good, espe-cially with legislation so bold. However she maintains that 16-year-old are level-headed enough to make choices about their futures. She says she got the idea for the proposal after listening to politi-cally engaged German woman whose government allows 16-year-olds to vote. “And then looking in other communities in the country, in our country, that have allowed 16 year olds to vote, they’ve seen positive benefits to that as well.” Either way, Wishart says the con-versation is good for the state in the long run “In the fact that we are having a conversation about young people having a voice in the direction our state is going.”

REACTION TO SYNAGOGUE SHOOTING The Omaha metro Jewish community continues to react to the brutal murders of eleven people at a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday. Temple Israel’s Senior Rabbi Brian Stoller reacted to the tragedy by saying, “This is an act of terrorism against the Jewish community. Plain and simple. And we’ve seen sadly a disturbing rise in anti-Semitic acts around the country.” And that includes Omaha. Last summer, a swastika was burned into the lawn at Memorial Park. Also this summer anti-Semitic literature started showing up in neighborhood free libraries. Rabbi Stoller says the Anti-Defamation League shows a 60% increase in antic-Semitic acts nationwide over the past few years. Pinpointing the origin of this behavior is not known but Rabbi Stoller believes that people have always hated “the other”, people they don’t know or understand. He says it defies explanation. Rabbi Stoller says, “I think that the citizens of Omaha can make their voices heard in a variety of ways to let the Jewish community here and around the country that we stand with us.” However, Rabbi Stoller says they will remain strong of spirit and they will not allow this hatred to crush their community. He says as a safeguard they added armed security a few years ago at services and have taken several other steps to boost security after seeing a rise in anti-Semitism and general violence in the community. He goes on to say they have to remain vigilant and they will.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

I don’t know that there are real ghosts and gob-lins, but there are always

more trick-or-treaters than neighborhood kids.

SPORTS A couple of High Plains Radio area volleyball teams moved into dis-trict finals on Saturday with wins last night. Cambridge won the Class D1-11 subdistrict at the Graff Events Center last night, knocking off Dundy County-Stratton in four sets. Maywood-Hayes Center rallied from two sets down to eliminate Wauneta-Palisade in five sets. The MHS Lady Bison are in North Platte tonight for the Class B7 subdistrict tournament. The MHS girls will face Lexington in the second semifinal. Pregame coverage on KICX starts at around 6 p.m. with first serve at 6:15. The McCook/Lexington winner will face the North Platte/Holdrege winner in the subdistrict title later tonight. The McCook Community College volleyball team will take on Sheridan College in the opening round of the Region IX tournament starting Wednesday at 10 a.m. MT in Cheyenne, Wyo. The Lady Indians are one of eight teams playing in a “win-or-go-home play-in game.” A change in the post-season tournament format will see teams seeded within the south and north divisions playing each other to open tour-

nament play. The Lady Indians (19-12 overall) finished as the fifth seed (3-7 in conference) in the six-team Region IX south division and will play the Generals (12-15 overall) as the north division’s fourth seed (6-6 in the seven-team conference). “We’ve been working very hard the past seven days and made some big changes to our lineup,” MCC Coach Hayley Kobza said. “I think these changes will play a big part in our success.” Wednesday’s two early (8 a.m. MT) play-in games include Western Wyoming (N No. 3 seed, 13-17) vs. vs. Trinidad State (S-No. 6 seed, 10-18) and Otero Junior College (S-No. 3 seed, 23-5) vs. Central Wyoming (N-No. 5 seed, 6-18). The other (10 a.m. MT) play-in game is Lamar Community College (S-No. 4 seed, 18-13) vs. Casper College (N-No 6 seed 10-20). The four winners will advance to the eight-team double elimination bracket starting Wednesday after-noon.
