say that you are so busy, I
am too busy, that you feel
that nothing makes you
happy anymore, or that
you just need to get away,
those are red flags. Stop,
concentrate, and embrace
the person, place, or thing
in front of you. Let go of
all the other stuff of to-
morrow, the weekend, the

you may be surprised how
much joy there is in your
life from work, home,

,ler native named to NETA board

The Nebraska Educa-
tional Technology Asso-
ciation (NETA) announced
last week than Tyler native
Kent Steen has been named
to its Board of Directors.
Steen, a 1987 graduate of
Russell-Tyler High School,
is currently serving as
Curriculum Specialist at
Lincoln Public Schools in
Lincoln, Nebraska.
The NETA Board of Di-
rectors is composed of
the officers and twelve
directors elected by the
membership as voting
members. The members
of the Board of Directors
are elected to three-year
terms with four members
being elected each year.
The Board of Directors
seat is strictly a volunteer
position. Each member is
to be affiliated with a non-
profit educational orga-
nization. NETA is a grass-
roots organization open
to everyone interested in
sharing information about
using technology in the
educational process. NETA
has approximately 2,500
members representing a
four-state region.
NETA Executive Director
Julie Moore said her orga-
nization helps introduce
technology to the educa-
tional process.
"NETA exists for the pur-
pose of providing leader-
ship and promoting the ap-
plication of technology to

the educational process,"
Moore explained. "Its span
of interest includes all lev-
els and aspects of educa-
tion."
Steen is the son of Bob
Steen of Eagan and Rietz
Hannemann of Tyler.

Superintendent

but came up empty.
"This is run by a fellow
by the name of Ray Far-
well," Orcutt said. "Ray
was a superintendent over
in Montgomery-Lonsdale.
When Ray retired he start-
ed this service where he
got a stable of retired su-
perintendents and retired
principals and started pro-
viding administrators to
schools who were looking.
I spoke to Ray last week
and Ray indicated to me
that he had no one in this
area that would be avail-
able right now."
One final option, Orcutt
said, would be to "shake
some trees," but so far that
has also yielded little.
"I've got a lot of contacts
in the state" he said. "I've
exhausted those contacts.
A lot of times when a su-
perintendent retires they
want to stay retired. Some
of them are kind of burned
out. Sometimes it takes
convincing:'
Hansen suggested that
Orcutt continue to make
contacts and that the Ad-
ministrative Committee
meet with any prospects
that turn up. Orcutt indi-
cated he would be willing
to continue the search. If
the search continues to
come up empty, the board
will revisit the process at
the June meeting.

fore pulling down the big
cash prize.
"Every school has a first,
second and third place
winner, and then they take
all the first place posters
and send to the state," E1-
ena said.
The young artist said
she has learned much of
what she knows about wa-
ter conservation at home.
"If I take too long my
parents say 'get out of the
shower,'" Elena revealed. "I
take long showers some-
times."
When asked what she
was going to do with all
the cash winnings, she had
an answer immediately--
"I do not know."
She will be working
through that decision
in the days to come, but
probably won't be able
to spend too much time
thinking about it in the
shower. At least not if her
parents have anything to
say about it.
