Fairway Flights Carved from a wild stretch of greenway, the Beal Slough Disc Golf Course has become a championship level showpiece, now ranked among the top 100 courses in the world. Designer James and engineer Trenton teamed up with the city and the local disc golf club to transform raw landscape into a destination that draws players from across the Midwest to Lincoln. Powered by volunteers and a passionate disc golf community, the course is more than fairways and baskets. It is hometown pride taking flight with every throw. Stories and Spirits In the small town of Stapleton, Marcia Hora is the driving force keeping her community connected through ink, paper, and a little bit of charm. At her Sandhills publishing company, Creative Printers, local newspapers roll off the press, carrying the stories that bind neighbors to one another. Tucked inside the print shop’s back room, a discreet speakeasy provides a modest but steady stream of support, helping fund the presses that keep the news in print. With vision and determination, Marcia has built a one-of-a-kind enterprise.
