Good Links

Here are good links, covering a variety of subjects. Most are self-explanatory. Those that aren't can't speak for themselves.

What is your best learning style?  Use this simple assessment to find out.  Learning Styles Assessment

REASONABLY FAMOUS:   Attendance Problems and Disciplinary Issues Among Nebraska School Students  from the Journal of Drug Education, authored by David M. Scott and David Friedli (your web author).

This is a wonderful story from the Lincoln Journal Star newspaper about Kathleen Webster, a 2007 graduate of UNPS who is talented, energetic and quotable.

A nice story about Joshlyn Parker and the Omaha Nation Public School day care.

A nice story about the University of Nebraska Service Learning trip to Macy in January, 2007 from the UNL faculty magazine The Scarlet.  The group stayed in the building overnight and cleaned out two large storage rooms.

Two UNPS students interviewed for the Washington Post regarding the Native mascot issue.  Story here.

 If you click on this link and then type your message in, what you've written shows up on a cardboard sign...like "Will work 4 food."  Try it!

Songs and Creations, the best sing-along book and camp music resource I know of.

With Yotar in hand, a pile of wood and a match....it's Camp Calvin Crest, PCUSA

My friend Nate with the aluminum diving board he broke one summer.
He can drain a swimming pool with one leap from the board.

Camping at 9,200 feet on the edge of the Roosevelt Forest, CO....Highlands Camp and Retreat Center.
Here is an aerial shot of the camp located near Allenspark and Ferncliff, Colorado.  And this is a picture taken on May 1, 2005.  16" of snow on the ground and still falling!

He was billed as "the next James Taylor" until A&M Records made huge marketing errors, including not allowing him to sing his own music.  Fifteen years, a dozen albums and independent song writing success later, David Wilcox is music for the thinking man.  A submission I made to the Omaha World-Herald when they called for "best concert" suggestions.

I Like Toast!  (and so does Heywood Banks)

Aerial Photography at TerraServerMicrosoft.  Use the navigator to the left to find your own town, or
zoom in and out and pan using the buttons, or simply click the picture.  HIGHLY ADDICTIVE mapping tool! 
This is an photograph of Macy, Nebraska.  The (old) school is to the right of main street which cuts the photo
almost in half vertically. The new addition (not pictured) wraps around the existing west and north walls of the building.

The wording of the Nebraska historical marker about the Omaha Tribe located on HWY 75 just north of the town of Macy, NE.

A brief history of the Omaha Tribe from the Native American Access Geneology webpage.

Here are descriptions of the Omaha Indians ("Mahar") from the journals of Lewis and Clark, 1804.

An article from 2000 published in the Omaha World Herald about Umonhon Nation School by Henry Cordes.

Music of the Omaha Tribe from pow wow, on the Library of Congress site.

Music from WoodSongs, an online folk music repository of streaming video and audio.  Clips of great artists like David Wilcox, Tuck and Patti, Livingston Taylor and Riders in the Sky.  Download tunes and videos here.  Unique stuff.

                                                                     lost and found:
I am ALMOST nationally famous.  At a concert in Omaha, I took a bunch of digital pictures and sent them off to my friends Micheal and George of Lost and Found...and a year later, Micheal gave me a copy of a two-song CD...with my photographs as the cover art!  How cool is that?  Way.  You can check out the musical genius which is Lost and Found at Speedwood.com.  Rock on!

Weather happens here.
