“I try to play Benson as much as I can,” Errett stated. On Sunday she is at O’ Leavers with Bazille Mills in a 6 p.m. show.
Jessica Errett – She’s Everywhere By Andy Roberts
Jessica Errett is a mechanical engineer. That’s her day job, but that’s not why you’re reading about her in Focus. She’s an increasingly visible singersongwriter who performs in a variety of formats. Photo by Tony Bonacci
The multi-instrumentalist and three-time Omaha Entertainment Awards nominee can be seen locally as a solo artist, or with All Young Girls Are Machine Guns, Bazile Mills, FOX, Tara Vaughan Band, and Surfer Rosa. She also fronts her band, Edge of Arbor.
Errett lists Jenny Lewis and the Saddlecreek bands among her favorites. Recently she has been listening to rising Brooklyn-based indiefolk band Big Thief. That Ćts with her style. “I would consider us kind of indie rock. I have kind of a darker writing style,” Errett said of Edge of Arbor. “My vocals are kind of airy.”
Edge of Arbor has two EPs on the market and a new release is in the works. Thankful for a će[ible boss, the daytime mechanical engineer said she’s not looking to make a career of music – at least not yet. “It brings me happiness,” Errett said of her avocation. “I’ll play anywhere.” For more information on Jessica Errett: www.facebook.com/jessicaerrettmusic Full band versions of songs can be found at www.facebook.com/edgeofarbor www.jessicaerrett.com
Errett said she plays because she enjoys “the rush of performing” and the friendship of bandmates. For her, it doesn’t matter whether it’s with a band or as a solo artist. “I like switching it up,” she acknowledged. “I just load myself up with gigs and if they end up being band gigs or solo gigs it doesn’t matter to me.”

Most of the music at Errett’s shows is original material but the setlist depends on where she plays. That has included Soaring Wings Vineyard, Mars Bar, and private events such as weddings and corporate activities.
Born about an hour outside Omaha, Errett’s creativity was sparked years ago while learning her craft. “I guess I was taking guitar lessons from Craig Nance,” she said of her Harlan, Iowa, upbringing. From that she was introduced to women songwriters and decided to start writing herself.

A Flu Shot Might Save Your Life By Focus Omaha
The seasonal flu plays no favorites and no matter what part of Douglas County you call home, the flu can and will find you. The most recent flu season, which ended in the spring, saw 3,872 confirmed cases of influenza, a total second only to the previous year. That number also is likely just the tip of the iceberg as many people who are only mildly ill simply will stay home. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate there were roughly 40 million cases of the flu last season in the United States, around 600,000 hospitalizations, and as many as 61,000 deaths. It’s impossible to predict the severity of the season that is just starting, but the CDC and the Douglas County Health Department suggest you get the flu vaccine by the end of October. “Everyone six months of age and older should get the flu vaccine,” Douglas County Health Director Dr. Adi Pour said. “The flu is a killer.” Vaccination is strongly recommended for pregnant women who are at a much higher risk of complications. The vaccine will protect the mother and the baby will have protection for about the first six months of life. Then they can directly receive the vaccine.
18
People at risk of developing serious flu complications are advised to get the vaccine. Those include people aged 65 and over, who can receive a higher dose, plus anyone with asthma, diabetes, or chronic lung disease. If you’re in that age group, or any of these other groups, and develop flu-like symptoms, please seek medical advice. The 2019-2020 seasonal flu vaccine is available from health care providers and pharmacies throughout the community. It comes in formulas that protect against three or four strains of the flu. It is available as an injection or a nasal spray. “The vaccine requires about two weeks before it can provide protection, so the sooner you get a flu shot, the better,” Dr. Pour said. “The vaccine is your best protection against the seasonal flu and protects the people around you.” Researchers at Creighton University are looking closer into Ćndings related to the beneĆts of low-intensity physical activity for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. According to research led by Eric Bredahl, Ph D., assistant professor of exercise science and pre-health professions at Creighton University, even low impact exercises, such as walking and doing yoga,

can make a noticeable difference. Bredahl, who is working alongside undergraduate researchers, has found low-intensity exercise can help slow tumor growth, in addition to reducing damage to the heart that occurs during chemotherapy.
“We know that this combination of exercise, consisting of aerobic and resistance training, will lead to adaptation, which will decrease the chance of any major issues during chemotherapy continued on page 19
and eventually lead to a greater health outcome,” Bredahl said. “The side effects of chemotherapy become less apparent. They are still there, but they are not as severe as someone who did not engage in any physical activity.” According to Bredahl, patients can only receive two to three rounds of chemotherapy in their lifetime because of its toll on cardiovascular health. “Unlike skeletal muscle tissue, cardiovascular muscle doesn’t grow back,” he said. “Once it’s gone, it’s absolutely gone.” An exercise regimen is not possible for
all patients, which is why Bredahl plans to take research in his lab a step further. “There are still a number of cancer patients who, due to physical limitations, can’t exercise,” Bredahl said. “We are researching to determine what else can be done.” A unique aspect of Bredahl’s research is the involvement of undergraduate students in the lab. “Undergraduates bring a high level of excitement to the research process,” Bredahl said. “This enthusiasm fosters an environment of learning and innovation.” Bredahl is currently collaborating with the Creighton School of Medicine to examine compounds that could be given while patients undergo chemotherapy. The goal is to help stave off deterioration of the heart and skeletal muscle tissue.

Nebraska vs. Minnesota By Focus Omaha
Defensive Coordinator Erik Chinander addressed the media following the conclusion of practice on Monday and talked about Minnesota’s wide receivers and what kind of challenge they present. “Really good group in the Big Ten,” Chinander said. “Illinois presented some issues, obviously Ohio State has a great receiving corps but these guys are really good, too. I recruited Rashod Bateman a little bit so I’m familiar with him, but they have a good crew. They have a guy in Bateman that... you know a lot of yards after catch, a lot of yards per catch and [Tyler] Johnson can go over the middle. They have a nice complementary offense, and they do a good job of getting those guys in position to make catches.” Chinander went on to discuss Minnesota quarterback Tanner Morgan and how he has improved since last season. “He’s grown a lot,” Chinander said. “He’s making some good decisions with the football, you’ve seen him make some throws that he

CBO Report Looks at Effect of Raising the Federal Minimum Wage By Mike Herek
The federal minimum wage (FMW), currently $7.25 per hour, hasn’t increased since 2009— the longest stretch with no federal increases since 1938, when the minimum wage was created. Several presidential candidates as well as proposed House Bill H.R. 582, Raise the Wage Act, would raise the FMW. What effect would a wage increase have on wage earners, families, employers, and the economy? The Congressional Budget OfĆce (CBO) released a new report that examined the impact of raising the federal minimum wage to $10, $12, or $15 per hour by 2025 and how this would affect employment and family income. According to the CBO, for the roughly 40 million wage-earners, the $15 option would be the most impactful, boosting the wages of 17 million workers who would otherwise earn less than $15 per hour. Another 10 million workers earning slightly more than $15 per hour might see their wages rise as well. But 1.3 million other workers would become jobless, according to the CBO’s median estimate. Also, there is a two-thirds chance that between zero and 3.7 million workers could be affected by a change in employment. However, the number of people with annual income below the poverty threshold in 2025 would fall by 1.3 million.
• Reduce business income and raise prices as higher labor costs are absorbed by business owners and then passed on to consumers and • Reduce the nation’s output slightly through the reduction in employment and a corresponding decline in the nation’s stock of capital (such as buildings, machines, and technologies). Based on these possible outcomes and the CBO’s estimate of the median effect on employment, the $15 option would reduce total real (inćation-adjusted) family income in 2025 by $9 billion, or 0.1%. It should be noted that there is considerable uncertainty about the size of any option’s effect on employment, because future wage growth under current law is uncertain, and because the responsiveness of employment to an increase in the minimum wage is unclear. Nevertheless, the CBO report seems to indicate that a wage increase would have both positive and negative ramiĆcations. More families would have incomes above the federal poverty level. However, the cost of the wage increase could cause a reduction in the labor force. In addition, higher-income earners who buy more goods and services, could see those prices increase.

Blake David, Seth Snell and Jason Ortega have been invited to join the founding members of 90s revival enthusiasts Jack Keogh and Brennan David in their rock group zero.

The EP has three songs conveniently TuantiĆably titled. Odes to early decade inćuences like the Strokes and late 80s romantic abandonment of the Silver Jews were transcribed on stage by waves of freakish balled Ćsts to a passionate tempo. Modern yet nostalgic indie rock group zero bourgeons a baseless path to fandom.
