Welch came to the Midlands in as principal dancer for Ballet Omaha, continuing an upward trajectory in ballet that can only be described as meteoric.
Previously, she had won a full scholarship at age 15 to train with the Harkness Ballet in New York City, where she was born. Her talents won her a permanent spot with the company and at 17 she jetted off to Monaco. Yes, everything was beautiful—until Rebekah Harkness decided to close the company she had founded. Welch returned The call to Omaha actually came from her then-husband, artistic director Robert Vickrey, who brought his wife and their young daughter, Rachel, with him to develop Ballet Omaha.
The curtain rose again in when The Rose Theater offered to house a new school and company, Omaha Ballet Theater, which Welch founded. But she was born to teach. Welch gathered her strength, her money, and her daughter— an accomplished ballet artist herself—and in. When the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards presented her with their Lifetime Achievement Award two years ago, she broke down in gratitude. It came at a great time.
For most, though, the word remains untarnished. The diva is still the shining star, the bigger-than-life glory who commands a room while displaying elegance and charity beyond the bright lights. Kathy Tyree is most certainly the latter type of diva.

She did just that in a Playhouse production last summer. Christie Clark at Hair. Rockbrook Village Her conversations on and off the stage through the musical increasingly delve into deeply personal topics, including the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her stepfather.

Aretha Franklin, sure. Cher, who Tyree loves for her versatility. Luther Vandross. So smooth.

Perfect for weddings and holiday gatherings. Your next event deserves nothing less. Whether beginning a fresh painting, designing her home, or playing with a grandchild, she believes in following an idea wherever it may lead rather than let conventional boundaries define the shape of her explorations. Color and curiosity are the joint impetus for her paintings; they are the verve and rhythm that bring her work to life. Colors assume shape by either consolidating into an.
These contours—whether a thick brush stroke or a quick, gestural dash—are somehow incomplete, interrupted. Her new paintings literally and figuratively bump up the arrangement. In her latest series, Whispers, Secrets, Reality, paper collaged onto the canvas adds a layer of mystery to one or more areas of a painting.
Further exploring the enticement of playing with space in another current series, Colors Layered, she arranges strata of heavy watercolor paper, cut, painted on one or both sides, and layered like shingles. Many of these soak up her vivid hues like sundrenched tiles, but Schnepf is so attuned to color that she celebrates its range even in a neutral palette.
This sensitivity allows color to remain strong, even with the added focuses of texture and dimension. Whether painting or constructing, Schnepf follows her instincts; she adds, subtracts, shifts, leaves, comes back, questions, listens. It brings a vibrancy to the work. Works in a series are typically identified by number. A patchwork ground has been quieted by a scrim of lavender; the most intense of those colors integrated into a central column.
Black circles take on physicality; one can imagine they buzz in conversation, while black and white riffs ripple the surrounding space. Coloring outside the lines, it seems, is an invitation to improvisation. A solo exhibition of her work is planned there in April. Under her watchful eye and upbeat instruction, members do various aerobic and anaerobic exercises, kickboxing and Zumba included, all to pulsating music, sometimes supplied by DJ Mista Soul.
She helps clients tone their bodies and build cardio, strength, and flexibility. The sculpted Omaha native is a longtime fitness convert. Nine years ago she added weight training to her running regimen and got serious about nutrition. A huge influence in her life was her late maternal grandmother, Faye Jackson, who raised her after Collins and her siblings were thrown into the foster care system. Motivated to help others, she made human resources her career. While working. Stepping out from the corporate arena to open her own gym took a leap of faith for this single mother of two small children.
Collins believes opportunities continue coming her way because of her genuine spirit. Everybody has their gifts, and this is mine. Tanzania is the focus of a forthcoming documentary from a one-time Omaha television news personality. Kasworm, a biomedical engineer and devout Christian, combines career and faith in Tanzania, his home the last 10 years.
He went to evaluate the potential of Alegent assisting hospitals, dispensaries, and public health programs there. The pull of Africa began then. Somehow Africa just got into my blood. He cultivated and coordinated the growing relationship between the partners and implemented various initiatives. Kasworm leads the Homes for Health program that uses local laborers to build new, cleaner, safer homes for residents. At the end of Kasworm decided to. Bob Kasworm in Tanzania live in Tanzania full-time. There are about 20 homes for staff.
Progress is plodding but rewarding. The nursing student would not have had a chance to study. It is not like you can just go down the street to an alternative. There is no safety net. We can now point to a number of successes. If you educate one nurse they will care for thousands over their career. Everything from unloading containers of things we send to fixing machines to keeping a water source going or getting an internet connection set up…you name it, Bob is the guy who figures out how to do it. So you have to think of medicine in a whole new way and what he has been able to do is to bridge that gap.
From reporting medical news she knew Alegent had compelling stories to be told and she wanted to be the storyteller that shared them. Much emphasis is placed on building relationships and making connections through ministry and medical mission trips organized by ACH and the Nebraska Synod of the ELCA. Kasworm sees the project as another vehicle to foster awareness between Tanzanians and Americans. It seems much of our important work has not come from analysis or needs assessment.
The work has just found us. I am sure more will present itself. A long ponytail. She wears simple jewelry: He switches his sentience between them so he never has to sleep. Kang, a New York City transplant, has worked at University of Nebraska Medical Center for the past seven years as a general internal medicine physician. Both were longtime students of regional culture; Andrew even worked at local newsweelies.
The concept stuck and blossomed into an even larger project: It was just all these scattered voices, so we tried to gather them and speak through one confident, strong voice. Around here all of these entities support each other. HN is known for executing unique, imaginative events that merge music and community. Men and Women from across the Globe go Head to Head over 15 car sized obstacles in 70 seconds. The International Experience Exposition: You can go for it and make your own sound. Five years from now the Normans hope HN will host regular showcases across the state featuring Nebraska music.
As Omaha invests in the young nonprofit, the Normans continue to invest in Omaha. I think Omaha, and Nebraska, in general, is just a really great place to start something. And I thought it was really fascinating and horrific and sad. To make herself more attractive to the publishing world, Kang also began blogging in But what to blog about other than the challenges of writing? And I sat there wondering, what makes me different, what do I have to offer, do I have any skills that I can share with people? And then—oh. Kang in both literary and real life. Beautiful, Maintenance-Free and Built to Last.

Turning your drafty fireplace into a high efficiency heater will help keep your heating bill way down. Jeff Toma of Accountable Construction is one such lone wolf, something of a folksy jack-of-all-trades when it comes to everything from quick fixes to remodels.
It makes me feel kind of proud, especially after a tough or messy job. Thursday mornings, for example, are out. We drink coffee. We chat. Any and all kinds of fishing. I got it bad. But would the Union Pacific train dispatcher stand a chance in a design challenge when pitted against such seasoned pros as Omaha Home contributing editor Sandy Besch-Matson and the design mavens of Anderson Interiors—Lori Anderson, daughter Lindsey Anderson, and Erin Jerabek? But Maldonado has an ace up her sleeve. She studied interior design in college, and her home is filled with creative and budget-friendly trash-to-treasure projects.
In my mind I was thinking of something that could be used as a multipurpose piece just about anywhere in my house. Pictured here it serves as a vanity, but that could all change very easily. Next week it could be behind my sofa with a lamp! Reclaimed wood planks Metal drawer pulls Legs from an old sewing machine Cast iron grate steam radiator cover.
We reclaimed and repurposed the materials to create an interesting console table that could adapt to many styles. I am forever rearranging my home and the wheels make this a very mobile piece. They also elevate it so it is less boxy and give it a bit of contemporary flair. The hum of conversation is punctuated by greetings from the regulars, and by Downtown business professionals mix elbows with construction workers at familystyle tables. During campaign season, the Thursday lunch draws politicians like flies to honey—make that cannoli. They are all here for the traditional Italian fare served up with a genuine smile and occasional wise-guy crack.
Quintessential Italian but far from ordinary. The sauce has been simmering for over 24 hours, its seasonings taking on a richer, more complex flavor, just like the neighborhood. The troupe of volunteer cooks never work off a recipe. Rather, the sauce is a happy combination of a few family recipes adapted over the years. Over gallons are made for these Thursday lunches, a tradition that dates back plus years. The men have cut over pounds of lettuce for the salads and handrolled 2, meatballs.
And if the early crowd is any indication of the late lunch numbers, they will need every morsel of this copious amount of food. The Sons of Italy is not much to look at from the outside. The only nod to its Italian heritage is the green, white, and red striped awning over the front door. And if the name Mengler sounds more German than Italian, it is. The first wave of Italian immigrants arrived in Omaha in The railroads, stockyards, and meatpacking plants provided the promise of work.
Most came from Sicily—in particular, Carlentini—and settled in the area bounded by Pacific and Bancroft streets to the north and south, respectively, and from the river to 13th Street. Omaha Home: Ties to the old country were strong, so strong that residents turned to their heritage to stave homesickness for Sicily. Lucy in Sicily for use in the Omaha festival. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church, a parade down 10th Street, music, rides, games, food, and the crowning of a queen at Lewis and Clark Landing.
DiGiacomo says tradition and heritage have kept the festival afloat: The people who grew up with it, who are part of it, are so dedicated to St. Lucy and what the festival stands for. This festival is what gives the city character, a sense of community. The passing of time brings change. And when Frank Marino decided to finally retire at 80 and close the 13th Street grocery store his father had started 88 years prior, people lined up to buy the last of his homemade Italian sausages and ravioli.
But there is also continuity in Little Italy. Owner Jim Hall spent much of his childhood at the bakery. Pizza is take-out only, or as old Mr. DiGiacomo concurs: Recent development has helped the neighborhood grow again and redevelop that sense of community. Its clapboard exterior recalls the siding popular with most of Little Italy single-family dwellings. Fork Fest, a neighborhood festival centering on music, a bocce ball tournament and scavenger hunt, camaraderie, and food of course.
Its success, he asserts, is a communal effort. And people have a real pride in the place, that it has deep roots, and wonderful tradition. Exactly how the family used the fourth-floor Turret Room has been lost to history. Shown here in the perfectly octagonal room is the dog collar of Modjeska, the Joslyn's beloved St.
Okay, so we totally invented the ghostly half of this story, but it doesn't change the fact that there is something downright otherwordly about this space, one that is both a literal and figurative highpoint of the Joslyn Castle. Finally collecting his thoughts, he borrows— intentionally or otherwise— from Monty Python's Flying Circus. The home, which he shares with his wife, Melissa, and their three children, is something of a forever-in-progress DIY project for Holm.
He built most of it himself. More than just a basement workshop tinkerer with a table saw and tool belt, Holm is a remodeler whose H Aesthetics business recently merged with Workshop Unknown. The design vision for the home and everything that followed became for the Holms an exercise in simple living. Abutting those lines and introducing a contrasting motif is corrugated, recycled roofing material H Adding to the industrial look are heated cement floors, commercial windows, and a CMU, cinder block-style block foundation.
Reclaimed strips of acrylic ingeniously incorporated into the pivoting front door create a dramatic, twice-daily light show. The overall effect is that of electrified neon, and it takes closer examination to discern that there is nothing more at play here than beams of filtered light. Oversized sliding bedroom doors provide alone time in this most open and airy of settings.
Our previous home was very quaint and charming, but it was cut up into too many individual rooms. When company came or when we had parties in the old house, it was always that awkward sort of arrangement where four people would have to be seated in another room and then a few more would be tucked around the corner from there. A walking club made up of seniors from Elmwood Tower, a nearby independent living facility, peppered Joel with questions almost daily as work progressed.
Mirroring the contours of a softly sloping lot, the home has six distinct levels plus a basement. To travel from the mudroom at the rear of the house to the front door, for example, it is a gradual one-two-three ascent of gently rising levels. In between, the space is full of subtleties that serve to break up the right angles that are otherwise everywhere to be found.
A mini-flight of steps leading from the living room down to the kitchen area, for example, is sliced into a wedge configuration. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a custom table crafted by Workshop Unknown. Its acrylic surface and arcing, birch-laminated legs complement the acrylic and birch found elsewhere throughout the home.
