2nd Annual Haymazing Race
With another Hay Days weekend
come and gone, another Haymazing
Race has been put in the books.
This year, the third annual Haymazing Race took place on Sunday, August 5th at the Atkinson City Park.
The weather was gorgeous and
there was a great turnout. With a
record number of team entrants – 27
teams signed up this year – the third
annual Olympic themed race was a
success. On your marks, get set, go!
Teams of two charged off across the
park to complete challenges including a blindfolded, stick horse obsta-
cle course, the balance beam, badminton, basketball and field hockey.
There was a station where they had
to organize the five Olympic rings in
the correct color order, and each
team even had a chance to cut six
minutes off of their final check in
time by polishing off an Olympic
Smoothie – a blended combination
of Greek yogurt, Feta cheese, olive
juice and green olives.
Going home with the bronze with
a third place finish was Team Kennor – Sandy Kennedy and Becky

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 from page 6)
Museum. This is a wonderful opportunity for attendees to bring in an
object or artifact to have it professionally identified and to have their
individual questions answered.
The NAS President, Mr. Kevin
Hammond, stressed this is an educational show, and there will be no buying or selling of artifacts permitted.
There will be approximately 100 tables of prehistoric artifacts on display
as well as some interesting fossil
items. A number of the private artifact collections at this show are considered “world class” in quality and
are rarely available for public viewing. There will be artifact exhibits
from at least six states and possibly
more by show date. There is no
charge to exhibit (please contact Mr.
Dick Eckles at 402-225-2525 prior to
the show).
Everyone is invited to attend this
educational, fun and free family
event, so plan to come and browse
the displays and/or listen to the special guest speakers and other experts. Food and refreshments will be
available for purchase and proceeds
benefit a local youth group.
The Show is sponsored by the
Nebraska Archaeological Society
with funding provided by the Nebraska Humanities Council Nebraska Cultural Endowment; The
Union Bank & Trust Co.; The Seward Area Chamber of Commerce;
and The Assurity Life Insurance Co.
For additional information concerning the show, or if you are interested
in displaying your collection or becoming a member of the Nebraska
Archaeological Society, please contact Mr. Kevin Hammond (402) 4235700, Mr. Dick Eckles (402) 2252525 or please visit the society web

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

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

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.

West Nile—(Continued from page 12)
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.
