Take a step back into history to find out. In 1607, settlers landed on the shores of Virginia and called it home, creating the first permanent European settlement. Little did they know that less than half of them would survive the year in this new wilderness. Minotaur Mazes’ American Adventure takes visitors on an immersive, educational role-play adventure that asks people to conquer one great challenge: survive the year as one of the original Jamestown colonists. Sound easy? Think again. Only 38 of the 104 settlers survived. But don’t worry – you’re not tied to their destiny. You can beat the odds and determine your fate – it all depends on the choices you make… and a bit of luck. Even if you don’t survive, try again! There’s a new adventure every time you enter the exhibit! -----------------------------------------------Through July 31 OUR BODY: The Universe Within The Capitol District 225 N. 12th Street, Omaha, NE 68102 OUR BODY: The Universe Within will expose the inner workings of human anatomy by presenting actual human specimens, anatomical displays, reproductions of historic anatomical

By presenting an artful, compelling and dignified environment, guests will connect with the human artifacts on a personal level that will help them to better understand their own bodies. The exhibit literally, as well as figuratively, goes “under the skin” exposing the intricacy of the human body and allowing the general public a look at what only doctors and scientists normally are allowed to see first hand. The exhibit will showcase specimens preserved through a polymer impregnation process that replaces fluids with polymers that prevent decay and decomposition. The exhibit shines a light on the alluring mystery of the human body through the presentation of these fas-

Diary of a Changing World

Lighting Hazard

Greater care may need to be taken in choosing the colour of outdoor LED lighting across Earth’s landscapes, as scientists warn that some hues of the modern-day lighting can be harmful to wildlife. Researchers have spent years documenting how the brightness, colour and direction of LED light affects migration, species attraction, predator-prey relationships and circadian rhythms. A new study led by the University of Southern California finds that blue and white have the worst impacts, while the warmer yellow, amber and green LEDs are more benign.

FDA Investigating Multistate Outbreak of Salmonella Adelaide Infections Linked to Pre-Cut Melons By Focus Omaha The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local partners, are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Adelaide illnesses that may be linked to cut melons. What is the Problem and What is Being Done About It? The FDA, CDC, along with state and local officials are investigating a multi-state outbreak of Salmonella Adelaide infections. Epidemiologic and preliminary traceback evidence indicates that pre-cut melon distributed by Caito Foods, LLC is a likely source of this outbreak. Caito Foods, LLC has voluntarily recalled their products, to prevent further distribution of potentially contaminated products. The recalled products were packaged in clear, plastic clamshell containers and distributed to Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The FDA is currently working with state partners to trace back the pre-cut melons to identify the source of the pathogen, to determine the full distribution of the pre-cut melons, and to learn more about how

the contamination occurred. There are 60 people ill with this strain of Salmonella in five states: IL (6), IN (11), MI (32), MO (10), OH (1). The ages of the ill people range from less than one year to 97 (median 67 years) and 65% of cases are female. Reported illness onset dates range from 4/30/18 – 5/28/18. Among 47 with available information, 31 (66%) have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported. June 15, 2018 Update The FDA is sharing a consolidated list of retail locations with consumers as the information becomes available. The retail information augments product information released on June 8th. Additional retail locations may be added as more information is received by the FDA. This list is organized by state and has been compiled from information firms have reported to FDA that received recalled product. Firms may be added or removed as more information becomes available. Therefore, it is important that you use the product-specific identification information, in addition to this list of retail stores, to evaluate products in your possession to see if they have been recalled. Consumers may wish to ask a retailer directly if the recalled product was available for sale. As of June 15, the retail location in California was removed, therefore the full list of states now include: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Fast Facts The FDA, CDC, along with state and local officials are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Adelaide infections. CDC reports that fruit salad mixes that include pre-cut melons are a likely source of this outbreak.

FDA advises consumers not to eat recalled fresh cut watermelon, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, and fresh-cut fruit medley products containing any of these melons. Products have been distributed in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The products were packaged in clear, plastic clamshell containers under several different brands or labels and distributed to Costco, Jay C, Kroger, Payless, Owen’s, Sprouts, Trader Joe’s, Walgreens, Walmart, Whole Foods/ Amazon. Other retail locations may be added to the list.

The CDC reports that 60 people in five Midwestern states have become ill. Among 47 people with information available, thirty-one cases (66%) have been hospitalized. The 60 illnesses occurred within the period of April 30, 2018 to May 28, 2018. The FDA is working with CDC, along with state partners , to trace back the pre-cut melons to identify the source to determine the full distribution of pre-cut melons, and to learn more about the potential route of contamination. Until next week, “Stay Healthy Omaha!”

Christopher the Conquered Returns to Omaha By Andy Roberts One thing you don’t can’t call Christopher the Conquered is “arrogant.” Obviously, a stage name, and Christopher is his given name, but the rest of his performing moniker was taken. “Only an asshole would call himself Christopher the Conqueror,” Christopher said. This humble and gifted piano man returns to Omaha for a June 23rd show at The Mattress Factory as part of the baseball championship fun. Music has been a long-time passion for Christopher.

“Since I was a kid. My dad was a guitarist,” he recalled. He got into band in high school and musicals and the rest just followed. “When I got into college I got a keyboard and started writing songs.” He grew up in Des Moines and attended Iowa State University. Having been a drummer in a high school band he just picked the closest college and studied electrical engineering, not music. “I was kind of a punk kid. I didn’t think I needed to study music at the time,” Christopher remembered.

Two years ago he put out what he called a “big record” a couple years ago – it was called I’m Giving Up on Rock and Roll - and this year he is ending the cycle of shows around that work. “I’ll be trying out a lot of new material at the show,” he promised, which fits into his future career plans. “Well, I’ve got a bunch of songs. I reckon I should do something with those,” Christopher said he’s “played more shows than I can count in Omaha” going back to at least 2010 at the Waiting Room. There also have more intimate shows like living room concerts. That won’t be the case for the baseball concerts at the Mattress Factory Parking lot on June 23rd, but it should be something memorable. “Expect interesting lyrics and some soulful singing,” Christopher said. “When it’s just me solo it’s really about the lyrics and the singing.” For more on Christopher the Conquered: www.facebook.com/christophertheconquered/ http://www.christophertheconquered. com/

Resident Lime– Omaha Jam Band Brings A Fresh Sound

moniker, The Workingman’s Band, so several of them put their heads together, with a few beers. “We just wrote a bunch of words on pieces of paper and pulled them out of a hat,” Swanson recalled. “That was the combination of words we liked best.” The result is the self-titled first album, Resident Lime, which includes nothing but original material. When most folks think of a jam band a picture of grizzled music veterans comes to mind. Long hair, grey beards, Music fans have the Blues Society of Omaha’s Blues Ed program to thank wrinkled skin, and tired eyes. for this band.

Their musical direction hasn’t created any barriers with other young bands. “All the younger guys that play around here, we tend to get along,” Swanson said. “People we meet will be our friends . . . Omaha’s pretty good about supporting other bands.” The album was done at Circo Productions in Elkhorn and mastered at the studio by Matt Jones and Ethan Sacco. “We did it all in one day. A 14- or 15hour session,” Swanson remembered. “We actually learned some of the

songs the night before.” “It was all of our first times recording,” Swanson offered. “We didn’t know what to expect. “We came up with a lot of ideas while we were recording it.” The session demonstrated what Swanson termed one of Resident Lime’s strengths. “We just kind of mesh well,” he said. “We play really well to each other.” Resident Lime’s creative process involves listening to the music they like

and listening to local bands play material they enjoy. That helps convince them they can do it, and is what they currently are focusing on doing. “We’re trying to write some more songs so we can . . . have a larger repertoire of music,” Swanson emphasized. That will make performances in the near future rare. In the past the B Bar and The New Frontier Bar have hosted Resident Lime. While working on the new material they did play the recent Power and Progress Festival in Columbus. The band is booked for River Jam at River West Park in Elkhorn on July 13. As for their future plans, well, they are a young band and young men. “Long term plans are just keep playing and making music,” Swanson stated. “See where it takes us.” For more on Resident Lime: www.facebook.com/ResidentLime/ Find the album: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7r9tIOfO4ALq9T9A0IeBmV?si=N9muPj7FQeWzUTePQ2-

Treasury, IRS Announce Final Round of Opportunity Zone Designations Washington – The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced the final round of Opportunity Zone designations for four additional states. In total, the program designated areas in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. possessions. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act created Opportunity Zones to spur investment in distressed communities throughout the country. New investments in Opportunity Zones can receive preferential tax treatment. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, States, D.C., and U.S. possessions nominate low-income communities to be designated as Qualified Opportunity Zones, which are eligible for the tax benefit. Nearly 35 million Americans live in the communities designated as Opportunity Zones. Based on data from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey, the designated census tracts had an average poverty rate of over 32 percent, compared with a rate of 17 percent for the average U.S. census tract.

persistent poverty county, meaning the county had experienced a poverty rate of at least 20 percent for 30 years. “The creation of Opportunity Zones is one of the most significant provisions of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act. Incentivizing private investment into these low-income communities can be transformational, stimulating economic growth and job creation across the country,” said Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin. “This Administration will work diligently with states and the private sector to encourage investment and development in Opportunity Zones and other distressed communities so that they may enjoy the benefits of robust economic growth.” The final round of submissions have also been approved for: Florida; Nevada; Pennsylvania; and Utah. Qualified Opportunity Zones retain this designation for 10 years. Investors can defer tax on any prior gains until no later than December 31, 2026, so long as the gain is reinvested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund, an investment vehicle organized to make investments in Qualified Opportunity Zones. In addition, if the investor holds the investment in the Opportunity Fund for at least ten years, the investor would be eligible for an increase in its basis equal to the fair market value of the investment on the date that it is sold.

Additionally, the median family income of the designated tracts were on average 37 percent below the area or state median and had an unemployment rate of nearly 1.6 times higher than the average U.S. census tract. Qualified Opportunity Zones were also twice as likely as other U.S. communities to be located within a
