MAJOR ARTIFACT EXHIBIT IN SEWARD The Nebraska Archaeological Society (NAS) invites the public to attend the Eighth Annual Nebraska Artifact Show to be held on Saturday, August 25th, at the Seward County Fairgrounds in Seward Nebraska. Doors will be open from 9AM until 5PM. Admission is free to the public. Special guest speakers are attending. At 1:30PM, Dr. Brad Logan and Dr. Lauren Ritterbush of Kansas State University will provide an extremely interesting presentation on Late Prehistoric Sites and current research in North Central Kansas. Come and find out about these early sites and the people who created them. We are indeed fortunate to have Drs. Logan & Ritterbush present their findings concerning this period in the archaeological record. Rick & Doris Hamilton of Spirit in the Wind Productions in Stuart, Nebraska will present flint knapping and have native plants and their uses on display. The National Park Service will have a Junior Ranger area for youth and children of all ages to have some hands-on experiences. An atlatl throwing (spear throwing) area will provide additional interest. A tipi representative of those used on the Great Plains will be on loan from Don Strinz Tipi, Inc. of Milford. The tipi will provide an interesting back-
drop to the flint knapping and Junior Ranger activities. Archaeologists and Paleontologists will be available for artifact and bone identification. An additional guest speaker, Ms. Kelli Bacon, Preservation Archivist, will give a presentation at 11 am concerning the excavation which occurred earlier this summer at Fort Robinson. The Nebraska State Historical Society led an excavation of Building 14, an adobe officers’ quarters, at Fort Robinson because the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission wants to reconstruct it. Kelli was part of the excavating team and will share some exciting information about this important project. Kelli is also Secretary/Treasurer of the Nebraska Professional Archaeological Association and she will be available throughout the day to help people individually with their questions at the Nebraska State Historical Society (NSHS) and Nebraska Association of Professional Archaeologist (NAPA) booth. Professional Archaeologists from the Nebraska State Historical Society, The Midwest Archaeological Center of the National Park Service, and the University of Nebraska State Museum will be participating along with Paleontologists from the State (Continued on page 7)

ATKINSON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FUND ANNOUNCES FIRST BIG GIVE ATKINSON EVENT Atkinson, Neb. – Today, the Atkinson Community Foundation Fund and Atkinson Mayor Dave Fredrick announced the first-ever Big Give Atkinson 24 hour giving event to be held on Thursday, November 1 and Friday, November 2. They encourage all Atkinson residents and others Atkinson fans to contribute to local nonprofits on that day. The need for funding has never been greater as our nonprofits are stretched to meet current needs and carry out their work. The Atkinson Community Foundation Fund will offer an incentive for gifts made during the Big Give Atkinson event—a $500 prize will be given to the nonprofit with the most donors during the Big Give Atkinson event. “The Big Give is an amazing opportunity for us to come together and show how big hearted our community is,” said Monique Johnson, Chair of the Big Give Atkinson, Vice President of the Atkinson Community Foundation Fund, and the West Holt Medical Services Foundation Executive Director. “Our local nonprofits deserve our support for all they do to strengthen our community.” Designed to promote philanthropy in Atkinson, the Big Give Atkinson event will be 24 hours of online giving and other traditional means of giving such as mailing a check to the nonprofit or by stopping at the Giving Station set up specifically for the event in Atkinson. This event allows nonprofits to share their stories, attract new donors and raise substantial funds that will improve the community. “The Big Give Atkinson event offers nonprofits a remarkable platform to inspire and attract donors to support their causes,” Mayor Dave Fredrick said. “I urge our community organizations whether you are a 501c3 charitable nonprofit or other type of organization that provides services or funding for the betterment of our community to get involved in the Big Give Atkinson and share your stories with the community. I am confident this day will show the pride and compassion our residents have for our town and the nonprofits that enrich it.” All local nonprofits are encouraged to register for the Big Give Atkinson event by calling Monique Johnson at 402-925-1956. The definition of a Charitable Nonprofits is a nonprofit with an IRS 501c3 status. Donations to a charitable nonprofit are tax-deductible. The definition of an organization is an organized group of individuals that are not incorporated as a 501c3 but have been in existence in Atkinson for over one year and has provided services or funding for the betterment of our community. Donations to an organization are NOT taxdeductible.

West Nile Virus Season Continues As the 2012 West Nile Virus season continues, Nebraska has had three positive human cases. In 2011 there were 29 human cases of West Nile Virus in Nebraska and no deaths, which was a decrease from the previous year 2010 when there were 39 human cases and two deaths. North Central District Health Department will continue to conduct West Nile Virus surveillance through October 2012. The surveillance includes mosquito trapping and collecting dead birds to send in for testing. Trapping mosquitoes provides knowledge of West Nile positive mosquitoes showing us areas where West Nile Virus is present. Fifteen counties in Nebraska have mosquitoes that have tested positive for West Nile Virus. In the North Central District Health Department region Holt County has had two positive
mosquito pools for West Nile Virus and Cherry County has had one positive mosquito pool. North Central District Health Department will be accepting reports and collecting dead birds. All species of birds are being collected this year in order to quicker determine if West Nile Virus is in our area. If you find a dead bird, and the bird is in good condition and has been dead less than 24 hours, please double bag the bird in plastic, freeze it, and then call North Central District Health Department at 877-336-2406 or 402-336-2406 immediately. All reports of dead birds are sent to Nebraska Health and Human Services System. Reports of dead birds help to identify areas in Nebraska where West Nile Virus activity is prevalent. Most people who are infected by a mosquito have no symptoms or
only mild flu-like symptoms. Less than one out of 150 people who get bitten by an infected mosquito and become infected will get seriously ill. However, people over 50 and those with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable to the disease and are more likely to experience (Continued on page 13)

Story Hour-The Atkinson Public Library’s last week of story hour featured “Night Shivers’! There were forty-eight children that came in to make monster puppets for Craft Day on Monday, and thirty-three children watched “Monsters, Inc.” for Movie Day on Tuesday. On Thursday, Beth Laible, Bonnie Lech, Heather Slaymaker, Rachel Lech and Judy Hagan entertained sixty-seven children and thirteen adults reading stories about monsters under the bed, scary monsters, not-soscary monsters, and how to scare monsters away! They sang songs, drew monsters, and concluded with “The Monster Mash”!—Article reprinted with permission from the Atkinson Graphic. Article in July 19th issue.

serious consequences. Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk, so try to limit your exposure during these times. Ways to reduce your chances of being bitten by a mosquito and contracting West Nile Virus include the following: * Applying mosquito repellent containing DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus; Wearing long-sleeved shirts, pants and socks; Avoid going out at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active; and Eliminating standing water to reduce mosquito breeding sites. Here is a list of precautions to follow when using DEET: A product that contains DEET and sunscreen is NOT recom mended.
Avoid spraying in enclosed areas; do not use DEET near food. Apply DEET sparingly on ex posed skin; do not use under clothing. Do not use DEET over cuts, wounds or irritated skin. Wash treated skin with soap and water after returning indoors; wash treated clothing. Store out of reach of children, and read all instructions on the label before applying. Do not allow children to apply DEET. Do not use DEET on the hands of young children; avoid applying to areas around the eyes and mouth. Do not apply directly on children. Apply to your own hands, and then put it on the child.
Red Cross Blood Drive ♂The Atkinson Red Cross Blood Drive will be held at the Atkinson Community Center on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 between the hours of 11:00AM and 5:00PM. To make your appointment to give blood call Gaylene Mitchell at 925-5934 or Belinda Asher at 925-5657. This year our firefighters have shown what a difference volunteering can make. It’s up to the rest of us to show what we can do as volunteers. The goal for this blood drive is 89. The employees of the Good Samaritan Center and the Parkside Manor in Stuart will be competing for a “Gallon Challenge.” Let’s see if we can exceed the goal.
13 If you think a child is having a reaction to a product containing DEET, wash the treated area immediately; contact your health care provider or local poison control center at 1-800-2221222. You can eliminate mosquito breeding sites on your property by: Emptying wading pools when not in use. Getting rid of old tires, cans, bottles, jars, buckets, drums, and other containers that are outdoors. Repairing leaky pipes, outside faucets, and move air conditioner hoses frequently. Eliminating puddles created by lawn watering or rainfall. Changing water and scrubbing vases and bird baths twice a week.
