May Lamb would like to thank all her family and friends who

remembered her 95th birthday. Due to the heat, the reception

was moved from the covered picnic shelter to the Methodist

Church; there were 78 in attendance. What a great achievement!

Did you know that between 1905 and 1914, vehicle owners made

their own license plates out of leather and then registered them

Wednesday, July 15, Bob and Barb Wilhelm attended the

"First Flight Festival" at UNL's Studio Theatre. New short

plays written by members of the Angels Playwriting Collective

were presented. We especially enjoyed "The Bequest"

written by Cherie Frederick.

Bob Wilhelm would like to remind everyone to stop by the

Bingo stand in the air conditioned Fair Center during

the County Fair next weekend. The proceeds help fund

local youth programs. It's always lots of fun!

The Southeast Health Department, which includes Otoe

County, reports that mosquitos carrying the West Nile

Virus have been found in Richardson County. They remind

us people over 50 have the highest risk of developing a

severe case of this illness. Other things to remember:

get rid of all standing water, wear long sleeves and pants,

use a repellant that contains DEET, and try to avoid

working ourdoors at dusk and dawn.

Friday, 7-23-1915, The Otoe Union:

Rev. Fuqua of Paisley, left to spend his vacation with his

parents. A new light plant was installed in the Christian

Church. O.G. Stoner was elected chairman of the

Chautauqua Board. Barnum & Bailey's "Greatest Show

on Earth" was coming to Lincoln. It required room on the

tracks for 85 double length railroad cars, which carried

1280 people, 700 horses, 40 elephants, and 110 cages

of various exotic animals and birds.

A thought worth remembering:

"Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is

the chance to work hard at work worth doing."

-Teddy Roosevelt, 1903.
