Description

Big Sounds, Little Town In the quiet town of Sutherland, Nebraska, where original music venues are few and far between, musician Rascal Martinez is building something extraordianary. After years of making a living through music, touring out of state, and performing for corporate and private events, Martinez took a bold step -- he bought an empty bank building in his hometown and transformed it into Stolen Vault Records. More than just a recording studio, it's a hub for independent artistry, a new music venue, and a home for local and regional talent. As he continues crafting his own sound and inviting other musicians to share the stage, Martinez is turning a small-town dream into a movement, proving that great music doesn't need a big city to thrive. City Sprouts In 1995, Omaha City Sprouts planted a seed in Omaha, NE to promote urbam gardening. 30 years later, that seed has blossomed into an organization with multiple education sites, and an urban farm which grows and donates over 15,000 pounds of healthy and culturally preferred produce each year. Through education and outreach they are cultivating food equity and having a huge impact on the community. A Tale of Two No-Hitters In the history of Nebraska baseball, only two players have pitched nine-inning no-hitters: Richard Geier in 1954 and Jackson Brockett in 2024. Although their feats span different eras, the players share surprising similarities. Return of the Swan They were nearly hunted to extinction in the early 20th Century, but today, the largest waterfowl species in the world is once again thriving in the Sandhills - the trumpeter swan. Meet the researchers who worked tirelessly to protect these magnificent birds and their habitat, the ranchers who coexist on the land with them, and a photographer whose love for this species emanates through his breathtaking images.
