In response to last weeks news, Bob Stanley writes, "My mother,

Dorothy Stanley, was bitten by a diamondback rattler nearly

four feet long in 1937, on the family farm near Ohiowa, NE,

which is located about 80 miles southwest of Unadilla. The

nearest anti-venom was in Kansas City, so the old country doc

opted to just keep her comfortable and hope for the best. He did

cut x's on each fang puncture and sucked out as much poison as

possible. Those distinctive X scars were very visible until her

death last year. She was ill for several days after the bite,

but made a full recovery. She was 16 at the time and the bite

location was on her foot. My grandfather, with the help of the

family dog, located the snake, killed it, and took it to Morrill

Hall Museum in Lincoln.

Thanks for sharing Bob!

Volunteers are busy working at the Unadilla Community Library,

sorting and rearranging books and getting ready for the

Grand Reopening at a later date. Anyone who would like to help

in this process, please call Peggy Leefers to find out the next

work date. There are lots of books to be moved around.

Everyone is welcome to come in and check out books when

workers are there.

A workshop for fiddlers who want to compete in fiddle contests

on Saturday, Sept 11, from 1-3 pm, in the old Avoca Schoolhouse.

A wonderful opportunity for fiddlers of all ages to learn to

choose appropriate tunes, work with their back-up players, and

to communicate with an audience. Participants should prepare

a tune or two to play for their fellow fiddlers. Memorization is

optional. Pre-registration is required. Fee: $20 per fiddler.
