100 care packages and one 19-year-old fast food worker needing your help

Riley Ewing wasn’t sure he was up for doing it all again -- the buying, the wrapping, the pre-Christmas delivering of 100 care packages to people who are homeless.

Cindy Lange-Kubick: Running with Sam Foltz, a little boy and a larger than life Husker

The photo showed up on Katie Taddeucci’s Facebook page a few days after the race.

A little boy with a buzz cut, staring up at a football player wearing a backward ball cap.

Strawberry Burns to honor memory of former bass player with final show

On a Sunday afternoon in March 2015, Greg Joyce stared at his laptop and contemplated how to word an email he didn’t know if he should write. After three tries, the guitarist and singer in the longtime Lincoln pop/rock band Strawberry Burns, considered the person he was worried about offending.

Joyce, now 39, started hanging out with the band's bassist, Pat Clinch, back in high school, and their time together often centered around making music. They goofed around and started recording stuff on hissy four-tracks soon after realizing how often their musical tastes aligned. (Clinch told Star City Scene in 2003 that the first album he bought was by the California Raisins and the most influential musicians in his life were the Beastie Boys and then-Lincoln act Zhenia Koval.) They formed band after band throughout high school and college. One, a hip-hop group called Mac and Don’s Supper Club, drew its name from Clinch’s grandfather’s name for McDonald’s.

'This is for all the women who didn't think they were beautiful because of their size'

On Saturday night, Linda Graham invited a few friends over to her family's south Lincoln home to watch the “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2016 Revealed” special. And then she tried her best to act like she didn't know the big reveal already. 

A few hours before three of the 21 SI models on the show were told they would grace three separate covers of this year’s Swimsuit Issue, Ashley Graham had called her mom to say she’d be one of them. On newstands today, you can find Ronda Rousey, Hailey Clauson and Ashley, a 28-year-old Lincoln Southwest grad with a coveted IMG contract who’s been modeling since she was 12.

'They're pretty much family': In bad times, teens at Madonna become best friends

Landon Severson’s trip to Nebraska started months ago, during marching band practice in the center of South Dakota.

The 14-year-old felt his legs tingling. And then he didn’t feel them at all.

With Doc Severinsen, trumpet owner hears dream come true

Doc Severinsen hadn’t seen the newspaper, so he knew nothing about the man sitting in the front row for Friday's question-and-answer session on campus.

He didn’t know John Ulrich’s parents had bought him a silver-plated Severinsen trumpet in 1963, or that Ulrich played it in high school and college and during 40 years as a music teacher, or that he was there at the Westbrook Music Building seeking Severinsen’s signature -- or that all of this had been in the Journal Star that morning.

Cindy Lange-Kubick: The Angel from Yoder and the German POW

The German soldier was 17 in January 1944, a kid learning to be a carpenter before the Nazis drafted him to fight.

Paul Stutz would later say he was lucky to be captured and brought to America. That if he hadn’t been caught, he would have been killed.

Strawberry Burns to honor memory of former bass player with final show

On a Sunday afternoon in March 2015, Greg Joyce stared at his laptop and contemplated how to word an email he didn’t know if he should write. After three tries, the guitarist and singer in the longtime Lincoln pop/rock band Strawberry Burns, considered the person he was worried about offending.

Joyce, now 39, started hanging out with the band's bassist, Pat Clinch, back in high school, and their time together often centered around making music. They goofed around and started recording stuff on hissy four-tracks soon after realizing how often their musical tastes aligned. (Clinch told Star City Scene in 2003 that the first album he bought was by the California Raisins and the most influential musicians in his life were the Beastie Boys and then-Lincoln act Zhenia Koval.) They formed band after band throughout high school and college. One, a hip-hop group called Mac and Don’s Supper Club, drew its name from Clinch’s grandfather’s name for McDonald’s.

'This is for all the women who didn't think they were beautiful because of their size'

On Saturday night, Linda Graham invited a few friends over to her family's south Lincoln home to watch the “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2016 Revealed” special. And then she tried her best to act like she didn't know the big reveal already. 

A few hours before three of the 21 SI models on the show were told they would grace three separate covers of this year’s Swimsuit Issue, Ashley Graham had called her mom to say she’d be one of them. On newstands today, you can find Ronda Rousey, Hailey Clauson and Ashley, a 28-year-old Lincoln Southwest grad with a coveted IMG contract who’s been modeling since she was 12.

'They're pretty much family': In bad times, teens at Madonna become best friends

Landon Severson’s trip to Nebraska started months ago, during marching band practice in the center of South Dakota.

The 14-year-old felt his legs tingling. And then he didn’t feel them at all.

With Doc Severinsen, trumpet owner hears dream come true

Doc Severinsen hadn’t seen the newspaper, so he knew nothing about the man sitting in the front row for Friday's question-and-answer session on campus.

He didn’t know John Ulrich’s parents had bought him a silver-plated Severinsen trumpet in 1963, or that Ulrich played it in high school and college and during 40 years as a music teacher, or that he was there at the Westbrook Music Building seeking Severinsen’s signature -- or that all of this had been in the Journal Star that morning.
