FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
April 7‐13 is National Public Health Week
“Public Health: Start Here”
The Sarpy/Cass Department of Health & Wellness recognizes National Public Health
Week 2014 (April 7‐13) by promoting this year’s theme, “Public Health: Start Here.”
The focus is on raising awareness about the changing world of public health and
prevention in our lives. National Public Health Week is an important way to recognize
the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important to improving
the public’s health.
Each day this week, the Health Department will be highlighting different preparedness
and prevention activities and providing valuable resources and education on our
website at www.sarpycasshealthdepartment.org/publichealthweek.html and Facebook
page.
Public health is all around us. It’s the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we
eat, and the places where we live, learn, work and play. We need public health to
monitor diseases and implement prevention strategies; make sure new moms have the
resources and knowledge they need to have healthy babies; enforce food safety rules
and investigate food‐borne illness outbreaks; respond to and prepare communities for
natural disasters and emergencies; provide access to vaccines; and so much more.
National Public Health Week is the perfect time to begin thinking about the critical role
that public health and prevention play in keeping our communities healthy.
The Sarpy/Cass Department of Health & Wellness serves the population of Sarpy and
Cass Counties. The Health Department can be reached at 402‐339‐4334,
www.sarpycasshealthdepartment.org, or on Facebook.

My recommendation is that you do nothing, and stop worrying about it. God knows you have lots of other things to worry about.
If you continue to use Windows XP after support ends, (04/08/2014) your computer will still work but it might become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses. Also, as more software and hardware manufacturers continue to optimize for more recent versions of Windows, you can expect to encounter greater numbers of apps and devices that do not work with Windows XP.

On Sunday, April 13, at 3 PM, the Hastings Symphony will be performing a world premiere: the world's first concerto for nyckelharpa and orchestra. The piece is composed by Dr. Christopher Stanichar, and will be performed by multi-instrumentalist, Deborah Greenblatt. The piece is in three movements, each one reflecting a story by Hans Christian Anderson: "The Brave Tin Soldier", "The Ugly Duckling", and "The Emperor's New Clothes".
The nyckelharpa is the official fiddle of Sweden. The instrument has 16 strings in all. There are 3 melody strings, manipulated by keys, one droning string, and 12 strings that vibrate sympathetically.
For more information about the nyckelharpa, contact the American Nyckelharpa Association (www.nyckelhapra.org/).

What haunts owners of old homes?
Plattsmouth Conservancy to again offer free seminars on restoration of historic homes
They may not manifest right away and the problems that arise vary from hot water or HVAC
systems to siding, windows or a horde of issues that threaten all old home owners, leading
them to wonder, “What have I gotten myself into?”
In Plattsmouth, 50 percent or more of the homes are at least 50 years old, prompting
Plattsmouth Conservancy to put together a series of seminars designed to help with the
choosing, restoring and maintaining an older home, whether the style is mid-century,
Craftsman, bungalow or Victorian.
There will be a series of 4 seminars. The dates are March 11, April 8, May 6 and June 10 at the
Conservancy office, located at 437-1 Main Street. The time is 6:30-8:30 PM. There will be a
drawing for a door prize at each seminar.
The first in the series will be an overview of things to look for and what to do about them. The
next three seminars will delve into specifics associated with the restoration and maintenance of
the older home. At the end of each presentation, there will be a question and answer period.
Mark your calendars and plan to attend.
2014 Spring Class Schedule
Join us for this exciting Webinar series, Gardening At Lunch, right from your desk at work or home.
You must pre-register for each program, and will need a computer with internet access and a phone to participate. During each program, you can view, listen, and interact with the speakers.
To register, go to: http://marketplace.unl.edu/extension/
If you want to join this program but do not have a computer, check with your local Extension office to see if they can set up an area to show it to those who would like to join in the program but don’t have access to a computer or the internet at home, work, or the library. Be sure to come early or call ahead so that you can get registered for the program before it begins.
Starting the week of March 31, if you plan to drive on Highway 75 between Union and Nebraska City, you will probably need to add at least a half hour to your trip.
A six-mile stretch of highway south of the Union corner will be shut down until September while crews rebuild the road.
Either plan to detour west on Hwy 34 to Hwy 50, then south to Hwy 2, or go across the Plattsmouth toll bridge to I-29 and down the interstate.
