Paul HighHorse’s work featured at KANEKO

High Horse, Paul

Hard work pays off. And this proves true for Paul High Horse.  Through continuing his art education, he has enriched his knowledge and found an abstract, mixed media style to communicate his Lakota Nation traditions and values. And, this isn’t going unnoticed.  Paul, as well as other Native American artists, has been asked to show his pieces at the Photographers and the Plains Indians exhibit at KANEKO February 7 – April 19.

The opening reception for Photographers and the Plains Indians is Friday, February 7 from 6 – 9pm.  This reception is free and open to the public.  Exhibit runs February 7 – April 19.  Open hours are Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm and Saturdays, 1 – 5pm.  If your schedule allows, come and support Paul. Hope to see you opening night.

KANEKO is a cultural institution, exploring and encouraging the process of creativity. It is located at 1111 Jones St, Omaha, NE 68102.

Congratulations to Ben Everswick

Everswick
Ben Everswick was one of two students in the Omaha region to receive Top Male Scholar Athlete in the sport of Cross Country for 2013 by the Greater Omaha Sports Committee.  He was one of 16 students who received this honor for fall sports.  Ben was joined by students from Bellevue East, Bellevue West, Central, Creighton Prep, Duchesne, Marian, Millard North, Millard West, Millard South, Papillion La-Vista, Ralston, and Skutt.
Ben joins a list of Fort Calhoun athletes who have received this award in the past.  Forgive me as I do not have all the history on this so I am sure I may have left someone off of this list, but here are some previous recipients of the award:
Shannen Ramey
Christine Keenan
Tara Meador
The Greater Omaha Sports Committee is the same committee that selects and awards the Outland Trophy for Top Interior Lineman for Division One College Football.  One of the special guests who spoke at the awards ceremony was Larry Jacobson, the 1971 Outland Trophy winner who played on the 1971 Nebraska National Championship team.
Congratulations Ben!
