Zach Pluhacek: February 2010
http://zachami.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 27, 2010. Had the pleasure of talking to a Seward County Sheriff's deputy this week who saved three guys from a fire. His name: Randy Muhm. Here's a slightly outdated photo:. And here's the story:. Seward deputy saves Utica men from fire. Thanks to Deputy Muhm, who more than deserves his moment in the sun. So far, I've written a pair of stories about the controversy over what to do with this building:. You can read my story about the "Save the Industrial Arts Building" effort here:.

http://zachami.blogspot.com/2010/02/been-while.html
Saturday, February 20, 2010. It's been three weeks since my last post. Got a new job, and working on a long-term project about this guy:. His name is Jeremy Herman, and he's an inmate at the Tecumseh State Penitentiary. I'll have more information for you later. In the meantime, here are a few stories I've written in the past couple weeks. Cheers, hugs greet reservists' return home. 98 days, 98 years.

Zach Pluhacek: Industrial Arts Building
http://zachami.blogspot.com/2010/02/industrial-arts-building.html
Saturday, February 27, 2010. So far, I've written a pair of stories about the controversy over what to do with this building:. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln wants to demolish it to make room for its Innovation Campus. The building was part of the former Nebraska State Fairgrounds, and people with an interest in its history are fighting to stop the university from bringing in the bulldozers.

Zach Pluhacek: January 2010
http://zachami.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 21, 2010. A group of Lincoln Haitians - including Junior Jacques, who I wrote about before - organized a benefit for the Red Cross's efforts in Haiti. Here's a piece I wrote on the event, as well as a few follow-up links from other things I've covered:. Gathering shows support for those still suffering after quake. Dozens of people gathered at Marz Bar, 1140 O St., for a relief benefit hosted by the Cornhusker Chapter of the American Red Cross. Union College team in Haiti. Saturday, fou...

Zach Pluhacek: It's Time to Party
http://zachami.blogspot.com/2010/01/its-time-to-party.html
Monday, January 18, 2010. It's Time to Party. Andrew W.K. would be disappointed. Lincoln Police Chief Tom Casady told me last week that us college-age Lincolnites have been partying less and less hard since 2005. Here's the story, which ran on page 1A in today's paper:.

Zach Pluhacek: April 2010
http://zachami.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 8, 2010. Been a while, again. The floodgates have opened, and I'm now backlogged with about 60,000 story ideas - about 1 percent of which I'll ever write. One of the unlikely-to-ever-be-written stories: prison visits. From March 2009 to 2010, 2,948 Nebraska prison inmates had visitors. That means about a third (1,434) of the state's 4,382 inmates didn't get a single visit during those 12 months. Pretty depressing. Labels: Nebraska Department of Correctional Services. Been a while, again.

Zach Pluhacek: Haitian orphans
http://zachami.blogspot.com/2010/02/haitian-orphans.html
Monday, February 1, 2010. The situation for orphans in Haiti post-earthquake is pretty miserable. Here in Lincoln and around southeast Nebraska, hundreds families have come forward with interest in adopting, but are finding it essentially impossible to do so. Here's a story I wrote about the issue:. Local families hit Haiti adoption wall. And here's another, the story of what might be the area's only adoption success story since the earthquake:. Haiti orphans come home to Nebraska.
