'YOUNG EAGLES' SOAR
On Sunday morning, September 12, 2010, if you were north of Murray around the Plattsmouth airport, you probably saw a lot of activity in the beautiful blue sky above.
EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) Chapter 80 actively participates in this exciting program. Its' volunteer pilots have flown 6300 Young Eagles since its beginning in 1992. The volunteers are proud to share their passion for flight with today's youth.

GOING FISHING? GET 2 for 1!
There are fish stories and there are 'fish-y' stories,
Phil cast his line out into the beautiful clear blue lake and brought in a 20-pound, 42-inch northern pike. He got the fish in the boat and started to remove the hook - when out of the big fish's mouth swam a live12-inch eel!
Now that's what I call being 'e-fish-ient'!

teacher and wildlife artist, Greg Hartel.
Greg is a Wisconsin native who taught at Bellevue East Hish School for 30 years
before retiring. While at East High, he taught A.P. Biology, Biology, Environmental
Education, Studio Art and Stage Craft. He completed a B.S. from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point in 1971, M.S.T. University of Nebraska, in '77 and a B.A.in Studio Art from Bellevue University in '97. Currently, Greg is employed with the Fisheries Division of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission in Aquatic Education. He teaches fishing, fish identification, about frogs and turtles and fish printing.
While his senior show at Bellevue University was in ceramic, wood and bronze sculpture, his primary mediums are pen and ink and watercolor drawings. His drawings depict wildlife and scenes from nature. Great effort is focused on details of the anatomy of his subjects, resulting in a combination of technical biology illustrations and studio art.

Sightreading Workshop
A Sightreading Workshop is scheduled for Saturday, October 2, 2010,
from 1 PM - 3 PM in the Old Avoca Schoolhouse, in picturesque Avoca,
Nebraska.
This will be a wonderful opportunity to play with other music students, and
sightread music that you've never seen before, and don't have to ever see again.
During the workshop, musicians will be discussing how to negotiate new
compositions with minimum stress, and maximum music. The beauty of
this workshop is that all you have to do is show up!
There is no preparation necessary, although pre-registration
is required, and there is a $20.00 fee.
For more information, call 402-275-3221,
