THAT IMPOSING BUILDING with an iron front near 13th and Howard streets is actually made up of three
buildings each with an interesting history
The family-owned JP Cooke Co is on its fourth generation and sits at its fifth downtown locationmdashall within a six-block areamdash since the companyrsquos 1887 founding
John Cooke thinks his companyrsquos current site in an almost century-and-a-half-old building is perfect for a 127-year-old business Three buildings were combined to make the 80000-square-foot brick structure Each was built at a different time
In 1865 the building on the east was constructed to house the German-language Omaha Tribune newspaper The newspaper was printed to accommodate the many German immigrants who came to Omaha In 1890 Germans made up 23 percent of the Omaha population
In 1889 what may be the most interesting of the three buildings went up on the west end
The classic cast-iron faccedilade and big windows hint at the skyscraper architecture then popular in Chicago Early tenants were a tent company and the Skinner Macaroni Company
Gas lamps provided light for the building The basement of the 1889 building held Omaharsquos first municipal swimming poolmdashthe Omaha Natatorium a Latin word for swimming pool Remains of the archaic pool can still be seen in an area now used for storage ldquoI heard that the pool was later used by the YMCArdquo he says
In 1909 the middle building went up and a printing company moved in
The three buildings were combined over time by Peterson Litho and Printing Co which sold them to US Checkbook in the 1950s ldquoOur father Lawrence Cooke bought the buildings in 1963rdquo says John who is a partner with his brother Warren Cooke They moved from 1111 Farnam St to the present location
In 1887 JP Cooke sold rubber stamps stencils inks and metal tags In 2014 the product line-up remains the same but
technology has created a modern company serving customers nationwide through e-commerce In 1899 James Cooke invented and patented time stamps used worldwide
ldquoThatrsquos when we first got a lot of attention and became a nationwide companyrdquo John says
ldquoWersquore very happy hererdquo he adds ldquoPeople thank us for saving the building They say lsquothatrsquos a beautiful building down on Howard Streetrsquordquo
The company was founded by brothers James and John P Cooke James was the grandfather of current owners John and Warren Cooke Its present site seems a perfect marriage of a long-time company and a notable trio of historical buildings
Johnrsquos children David Jim and Julie make up the fourth generation and the future of JP Cooke
ldquoWho would have thoughtrdquo John asks ldquothat we would still be operating and that there would be a fourth generationrdquo Encounter

WHEN NEWLY ENGAGED Ryan Ratigan and fianceacute Khilah Butler decided that their downtown apartment wasnrsquot cutting it any more most might
assume a move out west was in order Not for these two
Butler happened to have attended the Young Professionals Summit put on by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce The event featured a tour of South Omaha given by artist Larry Ferguson a photographer whose studio is on Vinton Street She knew she was on to something
ldquoWe knew we wanted to look at the Vinton areardquo says Butler ldquoIt has a true neighborhood feelrdquo
Ratigan agreed that the arearsquos rich cultural history makes for a unique neighborhood vibe And the location was a bit away from the bustle of downtown while still being close to the heart of the city
Butler is a manager at the First National Bank contact center while Ratigan is an attorney His office is located downtown but he also often works from home
After surveying the area for possible houses the couple found their home in The Cottages situated between Vinton Spring 21st and 22nd streets
ldquoThere are only three stoplights between here and Downtownrdquo says Ratigan ldquoYou canrsquot beat thatrdquo
The Cottages were recently purchased by Harvest Development and endured an extreme facelift Built in the 1890s the homes were originally used for immigrant meat packers mostly Korean working in the stockyards
According to Autumn Gibson the director of property management about half of the 20 rental homes are still up for grabs at the just-opened Cottages
ldquoWe are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Streetrdquo Gibson says
The homes are 1frac12 stories and can be found in several sizes Though the homes have been redone from top to bottom they still evoke a bygone era
ldquoI like that itrsquos an older homerdquo says Ratigan ldquobut they kept all the original hard wood floors and charm You can tell that there is great respect for the area that is being preservedrdquo
The young couple was also looking for outdoor space The two try to spend as much time as they can hiking and camping spending weekends by the Platte River at Indian Cave State Park and at Hitchcock Park

Their two-bedroom two-bath home comes complete with both front and back decks plus a shared green space Now they donrsquot have to hop in the car to become one with nature
ldquoItrsquos much more peaceful here and we have a spot to sit outsiderdquo adds Butler
It comes as no surprise that younger families are finding their way to the Vinton area It is in a time of revival says Ferguson Harvest Developmentrsquos renovation of The Cottages and the new families moving in are only part of something much bigger His studio has been on 17th and Vinton since 1983 and Ferguson has spent the last 30 years watching the area grow
We are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more
urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Street
-Autumn Gibson
ldquoWhen I arrived in the 1980s Vinton was deadrdquo Ferguson says ldquoThere were vacant places property values were depressed very few peoplemdashit was in a state of serious declinerdquo
Now the street boasts numerous eateries galleries beauty salons carnicerias and a super mercado Not to mention the Apollon which is a new hot spot to experience visual art theatrical performances music and gourmet food
ldquoWhen you see big businesses putting money into neighborhoods you know things are going uprdquo says Ferguson
Councilman Garry Gernandt feels that The Cottages is a vital link to the neighborhoodrsquos rebound
ldquoIt creates a good mix to an area that has been in new stages of revitalization for the last few yearsrdquo says Gernandt
Ratigan and Butler are excited to be a part of that mix
ldquoThe positivity of this area is underratedrdquo says Butler ldquoItrsquos very family friendly and a great part of townrdquo Encounter

IF THE LATE soul master James Brown was the hardest working man in show business then
singer Mary Carrick is Omaharsquos hardest working woman in entertainment
When the Nebraska Arts Council touring artist isnrsquot performing her own cabaret act shersquos singing in the Opera Omaha chorus or acting in a musical theater production She also does special events like the Omaha Press Club Show and Omaha Creative Institute Spring Fling
In addition to her rehearsals and vocal exercises she attends cabaret workshops All this comes on top of working a full-time marketing job being married and raising two small children Yet shersquos made time to create her debut CD Letrsquos Fly with artistic producer and arranger J Gawf a pianist whose day job finds him serving as Opera Omaha resident music director and chorus master
The album available on iTunes Amazoncom and CD Baby showcases Carrickrsquos big voice wide range and eclectic tastes The 10 tracks about love and desire include the Harold Arlen-Johnny Mercer standard ldquoCome Rain or Come Shinerdquo Cole Porterrsquos ldquoSo in Loverdquo the Hank Williams classic ldquoIrsquom So Lonesome I Could Cryrdquo Barry Manilowrsquos bath-houser
ldquoMan Wantedrdquo and the Jon Mitchell hit ldquoBoth Sides Nowrdquo Therersquos even Leonard Cohenrsquos edgy ldquoDance Me to the End of Loverdquo
The projectrsquos an intriguing collaboration between a versatile singer deeply rooted in the Great American Songbook and a multifaceted musician immersed in opera Carrick who can sing anything has a voice with operatic qualities and Gawf who can play anything is well-versed in popular music Hersquos also Carrickrsquos primary vocal coach and the two have developed an aesthetic kinship and personal friendship
Gawf has worked with world-class singers and is a great admirer of Carrickrsquos vocal instrument
ldquoItrsquos crystalline clear itrsquos shiny itrsquos got shimmerrdquo
he says ldquoShe has such a range to go from the high register which I think is a beautiful part of her voice to the low registerrdquo
Then therersquos what Carrick can do with a song
ldquoWell shersquos a storyteller number onerdquo he says ldquoShe comes from a theater background and
she can tell a story like nobodyrsquos businessrdquo
Carrick has found a niche in cabaret performances that often find her teaming with pianist-vocalist Todd Brooks
ldquoTherersquos so much artistic freedom in cabaretrdquo she says ldquoTherersquos really no rules I can program whatever I want I can do songs that are traditionally sung by men and make them my own I can infuse myself and my own experiences into the songs Therersquos a very intimate connection with the audience that I love very much I can talk and tell stories throughout my show I love that audience-to-singer energy that happens in the room Itrsquos exhilaratingrdquo
Shersquos been recognized by the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards and the Theatre Arts Guild for her cabaret shows as well as productions of her own Broadstreet Theatre Company
When Carrick broached the concept of her album Gawf wanted in and says the chance of ldquodoing something Irsquod never donerdquo appealed to him ldquoMary gave me free licenserdquo
The songs on ldquoLetrsquos Flyrdquo have been covered many times by other artists but Gawf was intentional in taking a new slant
ldquoI pride myself on not listening to other artists before I tackle something because I donrsquot want to get preconceived ideas of how something should be I like to take the song off the page and then re-imagine it After we got our arrangements together I listened to what other people did to see where ours fit in and wersquove got some unique things Half the fun was coming up with what works for usrdquo
Carrick feels shersquos in good hands with Gawf
ldquoI put my trust completely in him Itrsquos just been an awesome match I think we work in tandem really well He totally gets me He can tell when Irsquom not giving as much as I need to There was one session where he said lsquoI donrsquot feel like yoursquore giving your all to mersquo and he was right I know where hersquos at he knows where Irsquom at We can sort of feel where wersquore going where things arenrsquot workingrdquo
Carrick says she most enjoys ldquothe creative processrdquo and with the CD shersquos pleased to have gone to ldquoa real vulnerable place in being completely true to the material Itrsquos a scary place to go if you really want to be an honest singer but I think we achieved that rdquo
For the album Gawf assembled musicians hersquos worked with before including three Omaha mainstays in percussionist JB Ferguson bass player Mark Haar and accordion player Kate Williams Jazz pianist Eric Andries joined the ensemble from his home in Baton Rouge La
The CD marked the inaugural project for Dreamtree Recording a new studio operated by Omaha musician and sound engineer extraordinaire Marty Bierman
The recording sessions became Gawf rsquos playground to have the musicians try different rhythms and temposmdashadding subtracting mixing matching various sounds
ldquoIt was true experimentation all the way aroundrdquo he says ldquoIt was fun to be able to do that to not take it straight from the page and to work with such great instrumentalistsrdquo
Carrick says the CD was both ldquoa fascinatingrdquo and ldquomassive undertakingrdquo that ldquoorganically developedrdquo Donrsquot be surprised if she and Gawf re-team for a new project Encounter

THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Style maven Nicholas Wasserberger eschews Chanelrsquos advice
The beard he observes ldquois the current hip accessory for menrdquo so why not treat it as such ldquoTherersquos no reason to just let it hang there lifelessrdquo

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I

E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

THAT IMPOSING BUILDING with an iron front near 13th and Howard streets is actually made up of three
buildings each with an interesting history
The family-owned JP Cooke Co is on its fourth generation and sits at its fifth downtown locationmdashall within a six-block areamdash since the companyrsquos 1887 founding
John Cooke thinks his companyrsquos current site in an almost century-and-a-half-old building is perfect for a 127-year-old business Three buildings were combined to make the 80000-square-foot brick structure Each was built at a different time
In 1865 the building on the east was constructed to house the German-language Omaha Tribune newspaper The newspaper was printed to accommodate the many German immigrants who came to Omaha In 1890 Germans made up 23 percent of the Omaha population
In 1889 what may be the most interesting of the three buildings went up on the west end
The classic cast-iron faccedilade and big windows hint at the skyscraper architecture then popular in Chicago Early tenants were a tent company and the Skinner Macaroni Company
Gas lamps provided light for the building The basement of the 1889 building held Omaharsquos first municipal swimming poolmdashthe Omaha Natatorium a Latin word for swimming pool Remains of the archaic pool can still be seen in an area now used for storage ldquoI heard that the pool was later used by the YMCArdquo he says
In 1909 the middle building went up and a printing company moved in
The three buildings were combined over time by Peterson Litho and Printing Co which sold them to US Checkbook in the 1950s ldquoOur father Lawrence Cooke bought the buildings in 1963rdquo says John who is a partner with his brother Warren Cooke They moved from 1111 Farnam St to the present location
In 1887 JP Cooke sold rubber stamps stencils inks and metal tags In 2014 the product line-up remains the same but
technology has created a modern company serving customers nationwide through e-commerce In 1899 James Cooke invented and patented time stamps used worldwide
ldquoThatrsquos when we first got a lot of attention and became a nationwide companyrdquo John says
ldquoWersquore very happy hererdquo he adds ldquoPeople thank us for saving the building They say lsquothatrsquos a beautiful building down on Howard Streetrsquordquo
The company was founded by brothers James and John P Cooke James was the grandfather of current owners John and Warren Cooke Its present site seems a perfect marriage of a long-time company and a notable trio of historical buildings
Johnrsquos children David Jim and Julie make up the fourth generation and the future of JP Cooke
ldquoWho would have thoughtrdquo John asks ldquothat we would still be operating and that there would be a fourth generationrdquo Encounter

WHEN NEWLY ENGAGED Ryan Ratigan and fianceacute Khilah Butler decided that their downtown apartment wasnrsquot cutting it any more most might
assume a move out west was in order Not for these two
Butler happened to have attended the Young Professionals Summit put on by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce The event featured a tour of South Omaha given by artist Larry Ferguson a photographer whose studio is on Vinton Street She knew she was on to something
ldquoWe knew we wanted to look at the Vinton areardquo says Butler ldquoIt has a true neighborhood feelrdquo
Ratigan agreed that the arearsquos rich cultural history makes for a unique neighborhood vibe And the location was a bit away from the bustle of downtown while still being close to the heart of the city
Butler is a manager at the First National Bank contact center while Ratigan is an attorney His office is located downtown but he also often works from home
After surveying the area for possible houses the couple found their home in The Cottages situated between Vinton Spring 21st and 22nd streets
ldquoThere are only three stoplights between here and Downtownrdquo says Ratigan ldquoYou canrsquot beat thatrdquo
The Cottages were recently purchased by Harvest Development and endured an extreme facelift Built in the 1890s the homes were originally used for immigrant meat packers mostly Korean working in the stockyards
According to Autumn Gibson the director of property management about half of the 20 rental homes are still up for grabs at the just-opened Cottages
ldquoWe are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Streetrdquo Gibson says
The homes are 1frac12 stories and can be found in several sizes Though the homes have been redone from top to bottom they still evoke a bygone era
ldquoI like that itrsquos an older homerdquo says Ratigan ldquobut they kept all the original hard wood floors and charm You can tell that there is great respect for the area that is being preservedrdquo
The young couple was also looking for outdoor space The two try to spend as much time as they can hiking and camping spending weekends by the Platte River at Indian Cave State Park and at Hitchcock Park

Their two-bedroom two-bath home comes complete with both front and back decks plus a shared green space Now they donrsquot have to hop in the car to become one with nature
ldquoItrsquos much more peaceful here and we have a spot to sit outsiderdquo adds Butler
It comes as no surprise that younger families are finding their way to the Vinton area It is in a time of revival says Ferguson Harvest Developmentrsquos renovation of The Cottages and the new families moving in are only part of something much bigger His studio has been on 17th and Vinton since 1983 and Ferguson has spent the last 30 years watching the area grow
We are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more
urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Street
-Autumn Gibson
ldquoWhen I arrived in the 1980s Vinton was deadrdquo Ferguson says ldquoThere were vacant places property values were depressed very few peoplemdashit was in a state of serious declinerdquo
Now the street boasts numerous eateries galleries beauty salons carnicerias and a super mercado Not to mention the Apollon which is a new hot spot to experience visual art theatrical performances music and gourmet food
ldquoWhen you see big businesses putting money into neighborhoods you know things are going uprdquo says Ferguson
Councilman Garry Gernandt feels that The Cottages is a vital link to the neighborhoodrsquos rebound
ldquoIt creates a good mix to an area that has been in new stages of revitalization for the last few yearsrdquo says Gernandt
Ratigan and Butler are excited to be a part of that mix
ldquoThe positivity of this area is underratedrdquo says Butler ldquoItrsquos very family friendly and a great part of townrdquo Encounter

IF THE LATE soul master James Brown was the hardest working man in show business then
singer Mary Carrick is Omaharsquos hardest working woman in entertainment
When the Nebraska Arts Council touring artist isnrsquot performing her own cabaret act shersquos singing in the Opera Omaha chorus or acting in a musical theater production She also does special events like the Omaha Press Club Show and Omaha Creative Institute Spring Fling
In addition to her rehearsals and vocal exercises she attends cabaret workshops All this comes on top of working a full-time marketing job being married and raising two small children Yet shersquos made time to create her debut CD Letrsquos Fly with artistic producer and arranger J Gawf a pianist whose day job finds him serving as Opera Omaha resident music director and chorus master
The album available on iTunes Amazoncom and CD Baby showcases Carrickrsquos big voice wide range and eclectic tastes The 10 tracks about love and desire include the Harold Arlen-Johnny Mercer standard ldquoCome Rain or Come Shinerdquo Cole Porterrsquos ldquoSo in Loverdquo the Hank Williams classic ldquoIrsquom So Lonesome I Could Cryrdquo Barry Manilowrsquos bath-houser
ldquoMan Wantedrdquo and the Jon Mitchell hit ldquoBoth Sides Nowrdquo Therersquos even Leonard Cohenrsquos edgy ldquoDance Me to the End of Loverdquo
The projectrsquos an intriguing collaboration between a versatile singer deeply rooted in the Great American Songbook and a multifaceted musician immersed in opera Carrick who can sing anything has a voice with operatic qualities and Gawf who can play anything is well-versed in popular music Hersquos also Carrickrsquos primary vocal coach and the two have developed an aesthetic kinship and personal friendship
Gawf has worked with world-class singers and is a great admirer of Carrickrsquos vocal instrument
ldquoItrsquos crystalline clear itrsquos shiny itrsquos got shimmerrdquo
he says ldquoShe has such a range to go from the high register which I think is a beautiful part of her voice to the low registerrdquo
Then therersquos what Carrick can do with a song
ldquoWell shersquos a storyteller number onerdquo he says ldquoShe comes from a theater background and
she can tell a story like nobodyrsquos businessrdquo
Carrick has found a niche in cabaret performances that often find her teaming with pianist-vocalist Todd Brooks
ldquoTherersquos so much artistic freedom in cabaretrdquo she says ldquoTherersquos really no rules I can program whatever I want I can do songs that are traditionally sung by men and make them my own I can infuse myself and my own experiences into the songs Therersquos a very intimate connection with the audience that I love very much I can talk and tell stories throughout my show I love that audience-to-singer energy that happens in the room Itrsquos exhilaratingrdquo
Shersquos been recognized by the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards and the Theatre Arts Guild for her cabaret shows as well as productions of her own Broadstreet Theatre Company
When Carrick broached the concept of her album Gawf wanted in and says the chance of ldquodoing something Irsquod never donerdquo appealed to him ldquoMary gave me free licenserdquo
The songs on ldquoLetrsquos Flyrdquo have been covered many times by other artists but Gawf was intentional in taking a new slant
ldquoI pride myself on not listening to other artists before I tackle something because I donrsquot want to get preconceived ideas of how something should be I like to take the song off the page and then re-imagine it After we got our arrangements together I listened to what other people did to see where ours fit in and wersquove got some unique things Half the fun was coming up with what works for usrdquo
Carrick feels shersquos in good hands with Gawf
ldquoI put my trust completely in him Itrsquos just been an awesome match I think we work in tandem really well He totally gets me He can tell when Irsquom not giving as much as I need to There was one session where he said lsquoI donrsquot feel like yoursquore giving your all to mersquo and he was right I know where hersquos at he knows where Irsquom at We can sort of feel where wersquore going where things arenrsquot workingrdquo
Carrick says she most enjoys ldquothe creative processrdquo and with the CD shersquos pleased to have gone to ldquoa real vulnerable place in being completely true to the material Itrsquos a scary place to go if you really want to be an honest singer but I think we achieved that rdquo
For the album Gawf assembled musicians hersquos worked with before including three Omaha mainstays in percussionist JB Ferguson bass player Mark Haar and accordion player Kate Williams Jazz pianist Eric Andries joined the ensemble from his home in Baton Rouge La
The CD marked the inaugural project for Dreamtree Recording a new studio operated by Omaha musician and sound engineer extraordinaire Marty Bierman
The recording sessions became Gawf rsquos playground to have the musicians try different rhythms and temposmdashadding subtracting mixing matching various sounds
ldquoIt was true experimentation all the way aroundrdquo he says ldquoIt was fun to be able to do that to not take it straight from the page and to work with such great instrumentalistsrdquo
Carrick says the CD was both ldquoa fascinatingrdquo and ldquomassive undertakingrdquo that ldquoorganically developedrdquo Donrsquot be surprised if she and Gawf re-team for a new project Encounter

THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community
ldquoItrsquos active transportationrdquo says Turner ldquoIt improves air quality to have fewer cars on the road It improves the physical fitness and wellbeing of those who ride

Sales go up for retailers near one of the stations And itrsquos been demonstrated that businesses in cities with bike programs can more easily attract and retain the best talent Business looks to cities who care about sustainabilityrdquo
Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work
ldquoB-Cycle is one more great addition to
Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo
-Daniel Lawse
ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green
ldquoThis is an exciting time to live and work in this cityrdquo Lawse says ldquoand B-Cycle is one more great addition to Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo Encounter

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

THAT IMPOSING BUILDING with an iron front near 13th and Howard streets is actually made up of three
buildings each with an interesting history
The family-owned JP Cooke Co is on its fourth generation and sits at its fifth downtown locationmdashall within a six-block areamdash since the companyrsquos 1887 founding
John Cooke thinks his companyrsquos current site in an almost century-and-a-half-old building is perfect for a 127-year-old business Three buildings were combined to make the 80000-square-foot brick structure Each was built at a different time
In 1865 the building on the east was constructed to house the German-language Omaha Tribune newspaper The newspaper was printed to accommodate the many German immigrants who came to Omaha In 1890 Germans made up 23 percent of the Omaha population
In 1889 what may be the most interesting of the three buildings went up on the west end
The classic cast-iron faccedilade and big windows hint at the skyscraper architecture then popular in Chicago Early tenants were a tent company and the Skinner Macaroni Company
Gas lamps provided light for the building The basement of the 1889 building held Omaharsquos first municipal swimming poolmdashthe Omaha Natatorium a Latin word for swimming pool Remains of the archaic pool can still be seen in an area now used for storage ldquoI heard that the pool was later used by the YMCArdquo he says
In 1909 the middle building went up and a printing company moved in
The three buildings were combined over time by Peterson Litho and Printing Co which sold them to US Checkbook in the 1950s ldquoOur father Lawrence Cooke bought the buildings in 1963rdquo says John who is a partner with his brother Warren Cooke They moved from 1111 Farnam St to the present location
In 1887 JP Cooke sold rubber stamps stencils inks and metal tags In 2014 the product line-up remains the same but
technology has created a modern company serving customers nationwide through e-commerce In 1899 James Cooke invented and patented time stamps used worldwide
ldquoThatrsquos when we first got a lot of attention and became a nationwide companyrdquo John says
ldquoWersquore very happy hererdquo he adds ldquoPeople thank us for saving the building They say lsquothatrsquos a beautiful building down on Howard Streetrsquordquo
The company was founded by brothers James and John P Cooke James was the grandfather of current owners John and Warren Cooke Its present site seems a perfect marriage of a long-time company and a notable trio of historical buildings
Johnrsquos children David Jim and Julie make up the fourth generation and the future of JP Cooke
ldquoWho would have thoughtrdquo John asks ldquothat we would still be operating and that there would be a fourth generationrdquo Encounter

WHEN NEWLY ENGAGED Ryan Ratigan and fianceacute Khilah Butler decided that their downtown apartment wasnrsquot cutting it any more most might
assume a move out west was in order Not for these two
Butler happened to have attended the Young Professionals Summit put on by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce The event featured a tour of South Omaha given by artist Larry Ferguson a photographer whose studio is on Vinton Street She knew she was on to something
ldquoWe knew we wanted to look at the Vinton areardquo says Butler ldquoIt has a true neighborhood feelrdquo
Ratigan agreed that the arearsquos rich cultural history makes for a unique neighborhood vibe And the location was a bit away from the bustle of downtown while still being close to the heart of the city
Butler is a manager at the First National Bank contact center while Ratigan is an attorney His office is located downtown but he also often works from home
After surveying the area for possible houses the couple found their home in The Cottages situated between Vinton Spring 21st and 22nd streets
ldquoThere are only three stoplights between here and Downtownrdquo says Ratigan ldquoYou canrsquot beat thatrdquo
The Cottages were recently purchased by Harvest Development and endured an extreme facelift Built in the 1890s the homes were originally used for immigrant meat packers mostly Korean working in the stockyards
According to Autumn Gibson the director of property management about half of the 20 rental homes are still up for grabs at the just-opened Cottages
ldquoWe are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Streetrdquo Gibson says
The homes are 1frac12 stories and can be found in several sizes Though the homes have been redone from top to bottom they still evoke a bygone era
ldquoI like that itrsquos an older homerdquo says Ratigan ldquobut they kept all the original hard wood floors and charm You can tell that there is great respect for the area that is being preservedrdquo
The young couple was also looking for outdoor space The two try to spend as much time as they can hiking and camping spending weekends by the Platte River at Indian Cave State Park and at Hitchcock Park
J U LY A U G U S T 2 0 1 4 9
L I V I N G
Their two-bedroom two-bath home comes complete with both front and back decks plus a shared green space Now they donrsquot have to hop in the car to become one with nature
ldquoItrsquos much more peaceful here and we have a spot to sit outsiderdquo adds Butler
It comes as no surprise that younger families are finding their way to the Vinton area It is in a time of revival says Ferguson Harvest Developmentrsquos renovation of The Cottages and the new families moving in are only part of something much bigger His studio has been on 17th and Vinton since 1983 and Ferguson has spent the last 30 years watching the area grow
We are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more
urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Street
-Autumn Gibson
ldquoWhen I arrived in the 1980s Vinton was deadrdquo Ferguson says ldquoThere were vacant places property values were depressed very few peoplemdashit was in a state of serious declinerdquo
Now the street boasts numerous eateries galleries beauty salons carnicerias and a super mercado Not to mention the Apollon which is a new hot spot to experience visual art theatrical performances music and gourmet food
ldquoWhen you see big businesses putting money into neighborhoods you know things are going uprdquo says Ferguson
Councilman Garry Gernandt feels that The Cottages is a vital link to the neighborhoodrsquos rebound
ldquoIt creates a good mix to an area that has been in new stages of revitalization for the last few yearsrdquo says Gernandt
Ratigan and Butler are excited to be a part of that mix
ldquoThe positivity of this area is underratedrdquo says Butler ldquoItrsquos very family friendly and a great part of townrdquo Encounter

IF THE LATE soul master James Brown was the hardest working man in show business then
singer Mary Carrick is Omaharsquos hardest working woman in entertainment
When the Nebraska Arts Council touring artist isnrsquot performing her own cabaret act shersquos singing in the Opera Omaha chorus or acting in a musical theater production She also does special events like the Omaha Press Club Show and Omaha Creative Institute Spring Fling
In addition to her rehearsals and vocal exercises she attends cabaret workshops All this comes on top of working a full-time marketing job being married and raising two small children Yet shersquos made time to create her debut CD Letrsquos Fly with artistic producer and arranger J Gawf a pianist whose day job finds him serving as Opera Omaha resident music director and chorus master
The album available on iTunes Amazoncom and CD Baby showcases Carrickrsquos big voice wide range and eclectic tastes The 10 tracks about love and desire include the Harold Arlen-Johnny Mercer standard ldquoCome Rain or Come Shinerdquo Cole Porterrsquos ldquoSo in Loverdquo the Hank Williams classic ldquoIrsquom So Lonesome I Could Cryrdquo Barry Manilowrsquos bath-houser
ldquoMan Wantedrdquo and the Jon Mitchell hit ldquoBoth Sides Nowrdquo Therersquos even Leonard Cohenrsquos edgy ldquoDance Me to the End of Loverdquo
The projectrsquos an intriguing collaboration between a versatile singer deeply rooted in the Great American Songbook and a multifaceted musician immersed in opera Carrick who can sing anything has a voice with operatic qualities and Gawf who can play anything is well-versed in popular music Hersquos also Carrickrsquos primary vocal coach and the two have developed an aesthetic kinship and personal friendship
Gawf has worked with world-class singers and is a great admirer of Carrickrsquos vocal instrument
ldquoItrsquos crystalline clear itrsquos shiny itrsquos got shimmerrdquo
he says ldquoShe has such a range to go from the high register which I think is a beautiful part of her voice to the low registerrdquo
Then therersquos what Carrick can do with a song
ldquoWell shersquos a storyteller number onerdquo he says ldquoShe comes from a theater background and
she can tell a story like nobodyrsquos businessrdquo
Carrick has found a niche in cabaret performances that often find her teaming with pianist-vocalist Todd Brooks
ldquoTherersquos so much artistic freedom in cabaretrdquo she says ldquoTherersquos really no rules I can program whatever I want I can do songs that are traditionally sung by men and make them my own I can infuse myself and my own experiences into the songs Therersquos a very intimate connection with the audience that I love very much I can talk and tell stories throughout my show I love that audience-to-singer energy that happens in the room Itrsquos exhilaratingrdquo
Shersquos been recognized by the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards and the Theatre Arts Guild for her cabaret shows as well as productions of her own Broadstreet Theatre Company
When Carrick broached the concept of her album Gawf wanted in and says the chance of ldquodoing something Irsquod never donerdquo appealed to him ldquoMary gave me free licenserdquo
The songs on ldquoLetrsquos Flyrdquo have been covered many times by other artists but Gawf was intentional in taking a new slant
ldquoI pride myself on not listening to other artists before I tackle something because I donrsquot want to get preconceived ideas of how something should be I like to take the song off the page and then re-imagine it After we got our arrangements together I listened to what other people did to see where ours fit in and wersquove got some unique things Half the fun was coming up with what works for usrdquo
Carrick feels shersquos in good hands with Gawf
ldquoI put my trust completely in him Itrsquos just been an awesome match I think we work in tandem really well He totally gets me He can tell when Irsquom not giving as much as I need to There was one session where he said lsquoI donrsquot feel like yoursquore giving your all to mersquo and he was right I know where hersquos at he knows where Irsquom at We can sort of feel where wersquore going where things arenrsquot workingrdquo
Carrick says she most enjoys ldquothe creative processrdquo and with the CD shersquos pleased to have gone to ldquoa real vulnerable place in being completely true to the material Itrsquos a scary place to go if you really want to be an honest singer but I think we achieved that rdquo
For the album Gawf assembled musicians hersquos worked with before including three Omaha mainstays in percussionist JB Ferguson bass player Mark Haar and accordion player Kate Williams Jazz pianist Eric Andries joined the ensemble from his home in Baton Rouge La
The CD marked the inaugural project for Dreamtree Recording a new studio operated by Omaha musician and sound engineer extraordinaire Marty Bierman
The recording sessions became Gawf rsquos playground to have the musicians try different rhythms and temposmdashadding subtracting mixing matching various sounds
ldquoIt was true experimentation all the way aroundrdquo he says ldquoIt was fun to be able to do that to not take it straight from the page and to work with such great instrumentalistsrdquo
Carrick says the CD was both ldquoa fascinatingrdquo and ldquomassive undertakingrdquo that ldquoorganically developedrdquo Donrsquot be surprised if she and Gawf re-team for a new project Encounter

THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community
ldquoItrsquos active transportationrdquo says Turner ldquoIt improves air quality to have fewer cars on the road It improves the physical fitness and wellbeing of those who ride

Sales go up for retailers near one of the stations And itrsquos been demonstrated that businesses in cities with bike programs can more easily attract and retain the best talent Business looks to cities who care about sustainabilityrdquo
Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work
ldquoB-Cycle is one more great addition to
Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo
-Daniel Lawse
ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green
ldquoThis is an exciting time to live and work in this cityrdquo Lawse says ldquoand B-Cycle is one more great addition to Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo Encounter

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

THAT IMPOSING BUILDING with an iron front near 13th and Howard streets is actually made up of three
buildings each with an interesting history
The family-owned JP Cooke Co is on its fourth generation and sits at its fifth downtown locationmdashall within a six-block areamdash since the companyrsquos 1887 founding
John Cooke thinks his companyrsquos current site in an almost century-and-a-half-old building is perfect for a 127-year-old business Three buildings were combined to make the 80000-square-foot brick structure Each was built at a different time
In 1865 the building on the east was constructed to house the German-language Omaha Tribune newspaper The newspaper was printed to accommodate the many German immigrants who came to Omaha In 1890 Germans made up 23 percent of the Omaha population
In 1889 what may be the most interesting of the three buildings went up on the west end
The classic cast-iron faccedilade and big windows hint at the skyscraper architecture then popular in Chicago Early tenants were a tent company and the Skinner Macaroni Company
Gas lamps provided light for the building The basement of the 1889 building held Omaharsquos first municipal swimming poolmdashthe Omaha Natatorium a Latin word for swimming pool Remains of the archaic pool can still be seen in an area now used for storage ldquoI heard that the pool was later used by the YMCArdquo he says
In 1909 the middle building went up and a printing company moved in
The three buildings were combined over time by Peterson Litho and Printing Co which sold them to US Checkbook in the 1950s ldquoOur father Lawrence Cooke bought the buildings in 1963rdquo says John who is a partner with his brother Warren Cooke They moved from 1111 Farnam St to the present location
In 1887 JP Cooke sold rubber stamps stencils inks and metal tags In 2014 the product line-up remains the same but
technology has created a modern company serving customers nationwide through e-commerce In 1899 James Cooke invented and patented time stamps used worldwide
ldquoThatrsquos when we first got a lot of attention and became a nationwide companyrdquo John says
ldquoWersquore very happy hererdquo he adds ldquoPeople thank us for saving the building They say lsquothatrsquos a beautiful building down on Howard Streetrsquordquo
The company was founded by brothers James and John P Cooke James was the grandfather of current owners John and Warren Cooke Its present site seems a perfect marriage of a long-time company and a notable trio of historical buildings
Johnrsquos children David Jim and Julie make up the fourth generation and the future of JP Cooke
ldquoWho would have thoughtrdquo John asks ldquothat we would still be operating and that there would be a fourth generationrdquo Encounter

WHEN NEWLY ENGAGED Ryan Ratigan and fianceacute Khilah Butler decided that their downtown apartment wasnrsquot cutting it any more most might
assume a move out west was in order Not for these two
Butler happened to have attended the Young Professionals Summit put on by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce The event featured a tour of South Omaha given by artist Larry Ferguson a photographer whose studio is on Vinton Street She knew she was on to something
ldquoWe knew we wanted to look at the Vinton areardquo says Butler ldquoIt has a true neighborhood feelrdquo
Ratigan agreed that the arearsquos rich cultural history makes for a unique neighborhood vibe And the location was a bit away from the bustle of downtown while still being close to the heart of the city
Butler is a manager at the First National Bank contact center while Ratigan is an attorney His office is located downtown but he also often works from home
After surveying the area for possible houses the couple found their home in The Cottages situated between Vinton Spring 21st and 22nd streets
ldquoThere are only three stoplights between here and Downtownrdquo says Ratigan ldquoYou canrsquot beat thatrdquo
The Cottages were recently purchased by Harvest Development and endured an extreme facelift Built in the 1890s the homes were originally used for immigrant meat packers mostly Korean working in the stockyards
According to Autumn Gibson the director of property management about half of the 20 rental homes are still up for grabs at the just-opened Cottages
ldquoWe are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Streetrdquo Gibson says
The homes are 1frac12 stories and can be found in several sizes Though the homes have been redone from top to bottom they still evoke a bygone era
ldquoI like that itrsquos an older homerdquo says Ratigan ldquobut they kept all the original hard wood floors and charm You can tell that there is great respect for the area that is being preservedrdquo
The young couple was also looking for outdoor space The two try to spend as much time as they can hiking and camping spending weekends by the Platte River at Indian Cave State Park and at Hitchcock Park
J U LY A U G U S T 2 0 1 4 9
L I V I N G
Their two-bedroom two-bath home comes complete with both front and back decks plus a shared green space Now they donrsquot have to hop in the car to become one with nature
ldquoItrsquos much more peaceful here and we have a spot to sit outsiderdquo adds Butler
It comes as no surprise that younger families are finding their way to the Vinton area It is in a time of revival says Ferguson Harvest Developmentrsquos renovation of The Cottages and the new families moving in are only part of something much bigger His studio has been on 17th and Vinton since 1983 and Ferguson has spent the last 30 years watching the area grow
We are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more
urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Street
-Autumn Gibson
ldquoWhen I arrived in the 1980s Vinton was deadrdquo Ferguson says ldquoThere were vacant places property values were depressed very few peoplemdashit was in a state of serious declinerdquo
Now the street boasts numerous eateries galleries beauty salons carnicerias and a super mercado Not to mention the Apollon which is a new hot spot to experience visual art theatrical performances music and gourmet food
ldquoWhen you see big businesses putting money into neighborhoods you know things are going uprdquo says Ferguson
Councilman Garry Gernandt feels that The Cottages is a vital link to the neighborhoodrsquos rebound
ldquoIt creates a good mix to an area that has been in new stages of revitalization for the last few yearsrdquo says Gernandt
Ratigan and Butler are excited to be a part of that mix
ldquoThe positivity of this area is underratedrdquo says Butler ldquoItrsquos very family friendly and a great part of townrdquo Encounter

IF THE LATE soul master James Brown was the hardest working man in show business then
singer Mary Carrick is Omaharsquos hardest working woman in entertainment
When the Nebraska Arts Council touring artist isnrsquot performing her own cabaret act shersquos singing in the Opera Omaha chorus or acting in a musical theater production She also does special events like the Omaha Press Club Show and Omaha Creative Institute Spring Fling
In addition to her rehearsals and vocal exercises she attends cabaret workshops All this comes on top of working a full-time marketing job being married and raising two small children Yet shersquos made time to create her debut CD Letrsquos Fly with artistic producer and arranger J Gawf a pianist whose day job finds him serving as Opera Omaha resident music director and chorus master
The album available on iTunes Amazoncom and CD Baby showcases Carrickrsquos big voice wide range and eclectic tastes The 10 tracks about love and desire include the Harold Arlen-Johnny Mercer standard ldquoCome Rain or Come Shinerdquo Cole Porterrsquos ldquoSo in Loverdquo the Hank Williams classic ldquoIrsquom So Lonesome I Could Cryrdquo Barry Manilowrsquos bath-houser
ldquoMan Wantedrdquo and the Jon Mitchell hit ldquoBoth Sides Nowrdquo Therersquos even Leonard Cohenrsquos edgy ldquoDance Me to the End of Loverdquo
The projectrsquos an intriguing collaboration between a versatile singer deeply rooted in the Great American Songbook and a multifaceted musician immersed in opera Carrick who can sing anything has a voice with operatic qualities and Gawf who can play anything is well-versed in popular music Hersquos also Carrickrsquos primary vocal coach and the two have developed an aesthetic kinship and personal friendship
Gawf has worked with world-class singers and is a great admirer of Carrickrsquos vocal instrument
ldquoItrsquos crystalline clear itrsquos shiny itrsquos got shimmerrdquo
he says ldquoShe has such a range to go from the high register which I think is a beautiful part of her voice to the low registerrdquo
Then therersquos what Carrick can do with a song
ldquoWell shersquos a storyteller number onerdquo he says ldquoShe comes from a theater background and
she can tell a story like nobodyrsquos businessrdquo
Carrick has found a niche in cabaret performances that often find her teaming with pianist-vocalist Todd Brooks
ldquoTherersquos so much artistic freedom in cabaretrdquo she says ldquoTherersquos really no rules I can program whatever I want I can do songs that are traditionally sung by men and make them my own I can infuse myself and my own experiences into the songs Therersquos a very intimate connection with the audience that I love very much I can talk and tell stories throughout my show I love that audience-to-singer energy that happens in the room Itrsquos exhilaratingrdquo
Shersquos been recognized by the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards and the Theatre Arts Guild for her cabaret shows as well as productions of her own Broadstreet Theatre Company
When Carrick broached the concept of her album Gawf wanted in and says the chance of ldquodoing something Irsquod never donerdquo appealed to him ldquoMary gave me free licenserdquo
The songs on ldquoLetrsquos Flyrdquo have been covered many times by other artists but Gawf was intentional in taking a new slant
ldquoI pride myself on not listening to other artists before I tackle something because I donrsquot want to get preconceived ideas of how something should be I like to take the song off the page and then re-imagine it After we got our arrangements together I listened to what other people did to see where ours fit in and wersquove got some unique things Half the fun was coming up with what works for usrdquo
Carrick feels shersquos in good hands with Gawf
ldquoI put my trust completely in him Itrsquos just been an awesome match I think we work in tandem really well He totally gets me He can tell when Irsquom not giving as much as I need to There was one session where he said lsquoI donrsquot feel like yoursquore giving your all to mersquo and he was right I know where hersquos at he knows where Irsquom at We can sort of feel where wersquore going where things arenrsquot workingrdquo
Carrick says she most enjoys ldquothe creative processrdquo and with the CD shersquos pleased to have gone to ldquoa real vulnerable place in being completely true to the material Itrsquos a scary place to go if you really want to be an honest singer but I think we achieved that rdquo
For the album Gawf assembled musicians hersquos worked with before including three Omaha mainstays in percussionist JB Ferguson bass player Mark Haar and accordion player Kate Williams Jazz pianist Eric Andries joined the ensemble from his home in Baton Rouge La
The CD marked the inaugural project for Dreamtree Recording a new studio operated by Omaha musician and sound engineer extraordinaire Marty Bierman
The recording sessions became Gawf rsquos playground to have the musicians try different rhythms and temposmdashadding subtracting mixing matching various sounds
ldquoIt was true experimentation all the way aroundrdquo he says ldquoIt was fun to be able to do that to not take it straight from the page and to work with such great instrumentalistsrdquo
Carrick says the CD was both ldquoa fascinatingrdquo and ldquomassive undertakingrdquo that ldquoorganically developedrdquo Donrsquot be surprised if she and Gawf re-team for a new project Encounter

THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community
ldquoItrsquos active transportationrdquo says Turner ldquoIt improves air quality to have fewer cars on the road It improves the physical fitness and wellbeing of those who ride

Sales go up for retailers near one of the stations And itrsquos been demonstrated that businesses in cities with bike programs can more easily attract and retain the best talent Business looks to cities who care about sustainabilityrdquo
Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work
ldquoB-Cycle is one more great addition to
Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo
-Daniel Lawse
ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green
ldquoThis is an exciting time to live and work in this cityrdquo Lawse says ldquoand B-Cycle is one more great addition to Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo Encounter

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I

E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

THAT IMPOSING BUILDING with an iron front near 13th and Howard streets is actually made up of three
buildings each with an interesting history
The family-owned JP Cooke Co is on its fourth generation and sits at its fifth downtown locationmdashall within a six-block areamdash since the companyrsquos 1887 founding
John Cooke thinks his companyrsquos current site in an almost century-and-a-half-old building is perfect for a 127-year-old business Three buildings were combined to make the 80000-square-foot brick structure Each was built at a different time
In 1865 the building on the east was constructed to house the German-language Omaha Tribune newspaper The newspaper was printed to accommodate the many German immigrants who came to Omaha In 1890 Germans made up 23 percent of the Omaha population
In 1889 what may be the most interesting of the three buildings went up on the west end
The classic cast-iron faccedilade and big windows hint at the skyscraper architecture then popular in Chicago Early tenants were a tent company and the Skinner Macaroni Company
Gas lamps provided light for the building The basement of the 1889 building held Omaharsquos first municipal swimming poolmdashthe Omaha Natatorium a Latin word for swimming pool Remains of the archaic pool can still be seen in an area now used for storage ldquoI heard that the pool was later used by the YMCArdquo he says
In 1909 the middle building went up and a printing company moved in
The three buildings were combined over time by Peterson Litho and Printing Co which sold them to US Checkbook in the 1950s ldquoOur father Lawrence Cooke bought the buildings in 1963rdquo says John who is a partner with his brother Warren Cooke They moved from 1111 Farnam St to the present location
In 1887 JP Cooke sold rubber stamps stencils inks and metal tags In 2014 the product line-up remains the same but
technology has created a modern company serving customers nationwide through e-commerce In 1899 James Cooke invented and patented time stamps used worldwide
ldquoThatrsquos when we first got a lot of attention and became a nationwide companyrdquo John says
ldquoWersquore very happy hererdquo he adds ldquoPeople thank us for saving the building They say lsquothatrsquos a beautiful building down on Howard Streetrsquordquo
The company was founded by brothers James and John P Cooke James was the grandfather of current owners John and Warren Cooke Its present site seems a perfect marriage of a long-time company and a notable trio of historical buildings
Johnrsquos children David Jim and Julie make up the fourth generation and the future of JP Cooke
ldquoWho would have thoughtrdquo John asks ldquothat we would still be operating and that there would be a fourth generationrdquo Encounter

WHEN NEWLY ENGAGED Ryan Ratigan and fianceacute Khilah Butler decided that their downtown apartment wasnrsquot cutting it any more most might
assume a move out west was in order Not for these two
Butler happened to have attended the Young Professionals Summit put on by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce The event featured a tour of South Omaha given by artist Larry Ferguson a photographer whose studio is on Vinton Street She knew she was on to something
ldquoWe knew we wanted to look at the Vinton areardquo says Butler ldquoIt has a true neighborhood feelrdquo
Ratigan agreed that the arearsquos rich cultural history makes for a unique neighborhood vibe And the location was a bit away from the bustle of downtown while still being close to the heart of the city
Butler is a manager at the First National Bank contact center while Ratigan is an attorney His office is located downtown but he also often works from home
After surveying the area for possible houses the couple found their home in The Cottages situated between Vinton Spring 21st and 22nd streets
ldquoThere are only three stoplights between here and Downtownrdquo says Ratigan ldquoYou canrsquot beat thatrdquo
The Cottages were recently purchased by Harvest Development and endured an extreme facelift Built in the 1890s the homes were originally used for immigrant meat packers mostly Korean working in the stockyards
According to Autumn Gibson the director of property management about half of the 20 rental homes are still up for grabs at the just-opened Cottages
ldquoWe are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Streetrdquo Gibson says
The homes are 1frac12 stories and can be found in several sizes Though the homes have been redone from top to bottom they still evoke a bygone era
ldquoI like that itrsquos an older homerdquo says Ratigan ldquobut they kept all the original hard wood floors and charm You can tell that there is great respect for the area that is being preservedrdquo
The young couple was also looking for outdoor space The two try to spend as much time as they can hiking and camping spending weekends by the Platte River at Indian Cave State Park and at Hitchcock Park

Their two-bedroom two-bath home comes complete with both front and back decks plus a shared green space Now they donrsquot have to hop in the car to become one with nature
ldquoItrsquos much more peaceful here and we have a spot to sit outsiderdquo adds Butler
It comes as no surprise that younger families are finding their way to the Vinton area It is in a time of revival says Ferguson Harvest Developmentrsquos renovation of The Cottages and the new families moving in are only part of something much bigger His studio has been on 17th and Vinton since 1983 and Ferguson has spent the last 30 years watching the area grow
We are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more
urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Street
-Autumn Gibson
ldquoWhen I arrived in the 1980s Vinton was deadrdquo Ferguson says ldquoThere were vacant places property values were depressed very few peoplemdashit was in a state of serious declinerdquo
Now the street boasts numerous eateries galleries beauty salons carnicerias and a super mercado Not to mention the Apollon which is a new hot spot to experience visual art theatrical performances music and gourmet food
ldquoWhen you see big businesses putting money into neighborhoods you know things are going uprdquo says Ferguson
Councilman Garry Gernandt feels that The Cottages is a vital link to the neighborhoodrsquos rebound
ldquoIt creates a good mix to an area that has been in new stages of revitalization for the last few yearsrdquo says Gernandt
Ratigan and Butler are excited to be a part of that mix
ldquoThe positivity of this area is underratedrdquo says Butler ldquoItrsquos very family friendly and a great part of townrdquo Encounter

IF THE LATE soul master James Brown was the hardest working man in show business then
singer Mary Carrick is Omaharsquos hardest working woman in entertainment
When the Nebraska Arts Council touring artist isnrsquot performing her own cabaret act shersquos singing in the Opera Omaha chorus or acting in a musical theater production She also does special events like the Omaha Press Club Show and Omaha Creative Institute Spring Fling
In addition to her rehearsals and vocal exercises she attends cabaret workshops All this comes on top of working a full-time marketing job being married and raising two small children Yet shersquos made time to create her debut CD Letrsquos Fly with artistic producer and arranger J Gawf a pianist whose day job finds him serving as Opera Omaha resident music director and chorus master
The album available on iTunes Amazoncom and CD Baby showcases Carrickrsquos big voice wide range and eclectic tastes The 10 tracks about love and desire include the Harold Arlen-Johnny Mercer standard ldquoCome Rain or Come Shinerdquo Cole Porterrsquos ldquoSo in Loverdquo the Hank Williams classic ldquoIrsquom So Lonesome I Could Cryrdquo Barry Manilowrsquos bath-houser
ldquoMan Wantedrdquo and the Jon Mitchell hit ldquoBoth Sides Nowrdquo Therersquos even Leonard Cohenrsquos edgy ldquoDance Me to the End of Loverdquo
The projectrsquos an intriguing collaboration between a versatile singer deeply rooted in the Great American Songbook and a multifaceted musician immersed in opera Carrick who can sing anything has a voice with operatic qualities and Gawf who can play anything is well-versed in popular music Hersquos also Carrickrsquos primary vocal coach and the two have developed an aesthetic kinship and personal friendship
Gawf has worked with world-class singers and is a great admirer of Carrickrsquos vocal instrument
ldquoItrsquos crystalline clear itrsquos shiny itrsquos got shimmerrdquo
he says ldquoShe has such a range to go from the high register which I think is a beautiful part of her voice to the low registerrdquo
Then therersquos what Carrick can do with a song
ldquoWell shersquos a storyteller number onerdquo he says ldquoShe comes from a theater background and
she can tell a story like nobodyrsquos businessrdquo
Carrick has found a niche in cabaret performances that often find her teaming with pianist-vocalist Todd Brooks
ldquoTherersquos so much artistic freedom in cabaretrdquo she says ldquoTherersquos really no rules I can program whatever I want I can do songs that are traditionally sung by men and make them my own I can infuse myself and my own experiences into the songs Therersquos a very intimate connection with the audience that I love very much I can talk and tell stories throughout my show I love that audience-to-singer energy that happens in the room Itrsquos exhilaratingrdquo
Shersquos been recognized by the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards and the Theatre Arts Guild for her cabaret shows as well as productions of her own Broadstreet Theatre Company
When Carrick broached the concept of her album Gawf wanted in and says the chance of ldquodoing something Irsquod never donerdquo appealed to him ldquoMary gave me free licenserdquo
The songs on ldquoLetrsquos Flyrdquo have been covered many times by other artists but Gawf was intentional in taking a new slant
ldquoI pride myself on not listening to other artists before I tackle something because I donrsquot want to get preconceived ideas of how something should be I like to take the song off the page and then re-imagine it After we got our arrangements together I listened to what other people did to see where ours fit in and wersquove got some unique things Half the fun was coming up with what works for usrdquo
Carrick feels shersquos in good hands with Gawf
ldquoI put my trust completely in him Itrsquos just been an awesome match I think we work in tandem really well He totally gets me He can tell when Irsquom not giving as much as I need to There was one session where he said lsquoI donrsquot feel like yoursquore giving your all to mersquo and he was right I know where hersquos at he knows where Irsquom at We can sort of feel where wersquore going where things arenrsquot workingrdquo
Carrick says she most enjoys ldquothe creative processrdquo and with the CD shersquos pleased to have gone to ldquoa real vulnerable place in being completely true to the material Itrsquos a scary place to go if you really want to be an honest singer but I think we achieved that rdquo
For the album Gawf assembled musicians hersquos worked with before including three Omaha mainstays in percussionist JB Ferguson bass player Mark Haar and accordion player Kate Williams Jazz pianist Eric Andries joined the ensemble from his home in Baton Rouge La
The CD marked the inaugural project for Dreamtree Recording a new studio operated by Omaha musician and sound engineer extraordinaire Marty Bierman
The recording sessions became Gawf rsquos playground to have the musicians try different rhythms and temposmdashadding subtracting mixing matching various sounds
ldquoIt was true experimentation all the way aroundrdquo he says ldquoIt was fun to be able to do that to not take it straight from the page and to work with such great instrumentalistsrdquo
Carrick says the CD was both ldquoa fascinatingrdquo and ldquomassive undertakingrdquo that ldquoorganically developedrdquo Donrsquot be surprised if she and Gawf re-team for a new project Encounter

THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community
ldquoItrsquos active transportationrdquo says Turner ldquoIt improves air quality to have fewer cars on the road It improves the physical fitness and wellbeing of those who ride

Sales go up for retailers near one of the stations And itrsquos been demonstrated that businesses in cities with bike programs can more easily attract and retain the best talent Business looks to cities who care about sustainabilityrdquo
Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work
ldquoB-Cycle is one more great addition to

-Daniel Lawse
ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

THAT IMPOSING BUILDING with an iron front near 13th and Howard streets is actually made up of three
buildings each with an interesting history
The family-owned JP Cooke Co is on its fourth generation and sits at its fifth downtown locationmdashall within a six-block areamdash since the companyrsquos 1887 founding
John Cooke thinks his companyrsquos current site in an almost century-and-a-half-old building is perfect for a 127-year-old business Three buildings were combined to make the 80000-square-foot brick structure Each was built at a different time
In 1865 the building on the east was constructed to house the German-language Omaha Tribune newspaper The newspaper was printed to accommodate the many German immigrants who came to Omaha In 1890 Germans made up 23 percent of the Omaha population
In 1889 what may be the most interesting of the three buildings went up on the west end
The classic cast-iron faccedilade and big windows hint at the skyscraper architecture then popular in Chicago Early tenants were a tent company and the Skinner Macaroni Company
Gas lamps provided light for the building The basement of the 1889 building held Omaharsquos first municipal swimming poolmdashthe Omaha Natatorium a Latin word for swimming pool Remains of the archaic pool can still be seen in an area now used for storage ldquoI heard that the pool was later used by the YMCArdquo he says
In 1909 the middle building went up and a printing company moved in
The three buildings were combined over time by Peterson Litho and Printing Co which sold them to US Checkbook in the 1950s ldquoOur father Lawrence Cooke bought the buildings in 1963rdquo says John who is a partner with his brother Warren Cooke They moved from 1111 Farnam St to the present location
In 1887 JP Cooke sold rubber stamps stencils inks and metal tags In 2014 the product line-up remains the same but
technology has created a modern company serving customers nationwide through e-commerce In 1899 James Cooke invented and patented time stamps used worldwide
ldquoThatrsquos when we first got a lot of attention and became a nationwide companyrdquo John says
ldquoWersquore very happy hererdquo he adds ldquoPeople thank us for saving the building They say lsquothatrsquos a beautiful building down on Howard Streetrsquordquo
The company was founded by brothers James and John P Cooke James was the grandfather of current owners John and Warren Cooke Its present site seems a perfect marriage of a long-time company and a notable trio of historical buildings
Johnrsquos children David Jim and Julie make up the fourth generation and the future of JP Cooke
ldquoWho would have thoughtrdquo John asks ldquothat we would still be operating and that there would be a fourth generationrdquo Encounter

WHEN NEWLY ENGAGED Ryan Ratigan and fianceacute Khilah Butler decided that their downtown apartment wasnrsquot cutting it any more most might
assume a move out west was in order Not for these two
Butler happened to have attended the Young Professionals Summit put on by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce The event featured a tour of South Omaha given by artist Larry Ferguson a photographer whose studio is on Vinton Street She knew she was on to something
ldquoWe knew we wanted to look at the Vinton areardquo says Butler ldquoIt has a true neighborhood feelrdquo
Ratigan agreed that the arearsquos rich cultural history makes for a unique neighborhood vibe And the location was a bit away from the bustle of downtown while still being close to the heart of the city
Butler is a manager at the First National Bank contact center while Ratigan is an attorney His office is located downtown but he also often works from home
After surveying the area for possible houses the couple found their home in The Cottages situated between Vinton Spring 21st and 22nd streets
ldquoThere are only three stoplights between here and Downtownrdquo says Ratigan ldquoYou canrsquot beat thatrdquo
The Cottages were recently purchased by Harvest Development and endured an extreme facelift Built in the 1890s the homes were originally used for immigrant meat packers mostly Korean working in the stockyards
According to Autumn Gibson the director of property management about half of the 20 rental homes are still up for grabs at the just-opened Cottages
ldquoWe are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Streetrdquo Gibson says
The homes are 1frac12 stories and can be found in several sizes Though the homes have been redone from top to bottom they still evoke a bygone era
ldquoI like that itrsquos an older homerdquo says Ratigan ldquobut they kept all the original hard wood floors and charm You can tell that there is great respect for the area that is being preservedrdquo
The young couple was also looking for outdoor space The two try to spend as much time as they can hiking and camping spending weekends by the Platte River at Indian Cave State Park and at Hitchcock Park

Their two-bedroom two-bath home comes complete with both front and back decks plus a shared green space Now they donrsquot have to hop in the car to become one with nature
ldquoItrsquos much more peaceful here and we have a spot to sit outsiderdquo adds Butler
It comes as no surprise that younger families are finding their way to the Vinton area It is in a time of revival says Ferguson Harvest Developmentrsquos renovation of The Cottages and the new families moving in are only part of something much bigger His studio has been on 17th and Vinton since 1983 and Ferguson has spent the last 30 years watching the area grow
We are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more
urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Street
-Autumn Gibson
ldquoWhen I arrived in the 1980s Vinton was deadrdquo Ferguson says ldquoThere were vacant places property values were depressed very few peoplemdashit was in a state of serious declinerdquo
Now the street boasts numerous eateries galleries beauty salons carnicerias and a super mercado Not to mention the Apollon which is a new hot spot to experience visual art theatrical performances music and gourmet food
ldquoWhen you see big businesses putting money into neighborhoods you know things are going uprdquo says Ferguson
Councilman Garry Gernandt feels that The Cottages is a vital link to the neighborhoodrsquos rebound
ldquoIt creates a good mix to an area that has been in new stages of revitalization for the last few yearsrdquo says Gernandt
Ratigan and Butler are excited to be a part of that mix
ldquoThe positivity of this area is underratedrdquo says Butler ldquoItrsquos very family friendly and a great part of townrdquo Encounter

IF THE LATE soul master James Brown was the hardest working man in show business then
singer Mary Carrick is Omaharsquos hardest working woman in entertainment
When the Nebraska Arts Council touring artist isnrsquot performing her own cabaret act shersquos singing in the Opera Omaha chorus or acting in a musical theater production She also does special events like the Omaha Press Club Show and Omaha Creative Institute Spring Fling
In addition to her rehearsals and vocal exercises she attends cabaret workshops All this comes on top of working a full-time marketing job being married and raising two small children Yet shersquos made time to create her debut CD Letrsquos Fly with artistic producer and arranger J Gawf a pianist whose day job finds him serving as Opera Omaha resident music director and chorus master
The album available on iTunes Amazoncom and CD Baby showcases Carrickrsquos big voice wide range and eclectic tastes The 10 tracks about love and desire include the Harold Arlen-Johnny Mercer standard ldquoCome Rain or Come Shinerdquo Cole Porterrsquos ldquoSo in Loverdquo the Hank Williams classic ldquoIrsquom So Lonesome I Could Cryrdquo Barry Manilowrsquos bath-houser
ldquoMan Wantedrdquo and the Jon Mitchell hit ldquoBoth Sides Nowrdquo Therersquos even Leonard Cohenrsquos edgy ldquoDance Me to the End of Loverdquo
The projectrsquos an intriguing collaboration between a versatile singer deeply rooted in the Great American Songbook and a multifaceted musician immersed in opera Carrick who can sing anything has a voice with operatic qualities and Gawf who can play anything is well-versed in popular music Hersquos also Carrickrsquos primary vocal coach and the two have developed an aesthetic kinship and personal friendship
Gawf has worked with world-class singers and is a great admirer of Carrickrsquos vocal instrument
ldquoItrsquos crystalline clear itrsquos shiny itrsquos got shimmerrdquo
he says ldquoShe has such a range to go from the high register which I think is a beautiful part of her voice to the low registerrdquo
Then therersquos what Carrick can do with a song
ldquoWell shersquos a storyteller number onerdquo he says ldquoShe comes from a theater background and
she can tell a story like nobodyrsquos businessrdquo
Carrick has found a niche in cabaret performances that often find her teaming with pianist-vocalist Todd Brooks
ldquoTherersquos so much artistic freedom in cabaretrdquo she says ldquoTherersquos really no rules I can program whatever I want I can do songs that are traditionally sung by men and make them my own I can infuse myself and my own experiences into the songs Therersquos a very intimate connection with the audience that I love very much I can talk and tell stories throughout my show I love that audience-to-singer energy that happens in the room Itrsquos exhilaratingrdquo
Shersquos been recognized by the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards and the Theatre Arts Guild for her cabaret shows as well as productions of her own Broadstreet Theatre Company
When Carrick broached the concept of her album Gawf wanted in and says the chance of ldquodoing something Irsquod never donerdquo appealed to him ldquoMary gave me free licenserdquo
The songs on ldquoLetrsquos Flyrdquo have been covered many times by other artists but Gawf was intentional in taking a new slant
ldquoI pride myself on not listening to other artists before I tackle something because I donrsquot want to get preconceived ideas of how something should be I like to take the song off the page and then re-imagine it After we got our arrangements together I listened to what other people did to see where ours fit in and wersquove got some unique things Half the fun was coming up with what works for usrdquo
Carrick feels shersquos in good hands with Gawf
ldquoI put my trust completely in him Itrsquos just been an awesome match I think we work in tandem really well He totally gets me He can tell when Irsquom not giving as much as I need to There was one session where he said lsquoI donrsquot feel like yoursquore giving your all to mersquo and he was right I know where hersquos at he knows where Irsquom at We can sort of feel where wersquore going where things arenrsquot workingrdquo
Carrick says she most enjoys ldquothe creative processrdquo and with the CD shersquos pleased to have gone to ldquoa real vulnerable place in being completely true to the material Itrsquos a scary place to go if you really want to be an honest singer but I think we achieved that rdquo
For the album Gawf assembled musicians hersquos worked with before including three Omaha mainstays in percussionist JB Ferguson bass player Mark Haar and accordion player Kate Williams Jazz pianist Eric Andries joined the ensemble from his home in Baton Rouge La
The CD marked the inaugural project for Dreamtree Recording a new studio operated by Omaha musician and sound engineer extraordinaire Marty Bierman
The recording sessions became Gawf rsquos playground to have the musicians try different rhythms and temposmdashadding subtracting mixing matching various sounds
ldquoIt was true experimentation all the way aroundrdquo he says ldquoIt was fun to be able to do that to not take it straight from the page and to work with such great instrumentalistsrdquo
Carrick says the CD was both ldquoa fascinatingrdquo and ldquomassive undertakingrdquo that ldquoorganically developedrdquo Donrsquot be surprised if she and Gawf re-team for a new project Encounter

THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community
ldquoItrsquos active transportationrdquo says Turner ldquoIt improves air quality to have fewer cars on the road It improves the physical fitness and wellbeing of those who ride

Sales go up for retailers near one of the stations And itrsquos been demonstrated that businesses in cities with bike programs can more easily attract and retain the best talent Business looks to cities who care about sustainabilityrdquo
Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work
ldquoB-Cycle is one more great addition to
Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo
-Daniel Lawse
ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green
ldquoThis is an exciting time to live and work in this cityrdquo Lawse says ldquoand B-Cycle is one more great addition to Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo Encounter

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I

E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

THAT IMPOSING BUILDING with an iron front near 13th and Howard streets is actually made up of three
buildings each with an interesting history
The family-owned JP Cooke Co is on its fourth generation and sits at its fifth downtown locationmdashall within a six-block areamdash since the companyrsquos 1887 founding
John Cooke thinks his companyrsquos current site in an almost century-and-a-half-old building is perfect for a 127-year-old business Three buildings were combined to make the 80000-square-foot brick structure Each was built at a different time
In 1865 the building on the east was constructed to house the German-language Omaha Tribune newspaper The newspaper was printed to accommodate the many German immigrants who came to Omaha In 1890 Germans made up 23 percent of the Omaha population
In 1889 what may be the most interesting of the three buildings went up on the west end
The classic cast-iron faccedilade and big windows hint at the skyscraper architecture then popular in Chicago Early tenants were a tent company and the Skinner Macaroni Company
Gas lamps provided light for the building The basement of the 1889 building held Omaharsquos first municipal swimming poolmdashthe Omaha Natatorium a Latin word for swimming pool Remains of the archaic pool can still be seen in an area now used for storage ldquoI heard that the pool was later used by the YMCArdquo he says
In 1909 the middle building went up and a printing company moved in
The three buildings were combined over time by Peterson Litho and Printing Co which sold them to US Checkbook in the 1950s ldquoOur father Lawrence Cooke bought the buildings in 1963rdquo says John who is a partner with his brother Warren Cooke They moved from 1111 Farnam St to the present location
In 1887 JP Cooke sold rubber stamps stencils inks and metal tags In 2014 the product line-up remains the same but
technology has created a modern company serving customers nationwide through e-commerce In 1899 James Cooke invented and patented time stamps used worldwide
ldquoThatrsquos when we first got a lot of attention and became a nationwide companyrdquo John says
ldquoWersquore very happy hererdquo he adds ldquoPeople thank us for saving the building They say lsquothatrsquos a beautiful building down on Howard Streetrsquordquo
The company was founded by brothers James and John P Cooke James was the grandfather of current owners John and Warren Cooke Its present site seems a perfect marriage of a long-time company and a notable trio of historical buildings
Johnrsquos children David Jim and Julie make up the fourth generation and the future of JP Cooke
ldquoWho would have thoughtrdquo John asks ldquothat we would still be operating and that there would be a fourth generationrdquo Encounter

WHEN NEWLY ENGAGED Ryan Ratigan and fianceacute Khilah Butler decided that their downtown apartment wasnrsquot cutting it any more most might
assume a move out west was in order Not for these two
Butler happened to have attended the Young Professionals Summit put on by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce The event featured a tour of South Omaha given by artist Larry Ferguson a photographer whose studio is on Vinton Street She knew she was on to something
ldquoWe knew we wanted to look at the Vinton areardquo says Butler ldquoIt has a true neighborhood feelrdquo
Ratigan agreed that the arearsquos rich cultural history makes for a unique neighborhood vibe And the location was a bit away from the bustle of downtown while still being close to the heart of the city
Butler is a manager at the First National Bank contact center while Ratigan is an attorney His office is located downtown but he also often works from home
After surveying the area for possible houses the couple found their home in The Cottages situated between Vinton Spring 21st and 22nd streets
ldquoThere are only three stoplights between here and Downtownrdquo says Ratigan ldquoYou canrsquot beat thatrdquo
The Cottages were recently purchased by Harvest Development and endured an extreme facelift Built in the 1890s the homes were originally used for immigrant meat packers mostly Korean working in the stockyards
According to Autumn Gibson the director of property management about half of the 20 rental homes are still up for grabs at the just-opened Cottages
ldquoWe are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Streetrdquo Gibson says
The homes are 1frac12 stories and can be found in several sizes Though the homes have been redone from top to bottom they still evoke a bygone era
ldquoI like that itrsquos an older homerdquo says Ratigan ldquobut they kept all the original hard wood floors and charm You can tell that there is great respect for the area that is being preservedrdquo
The young couple was also looking for outdoor space The two try to spend as much time as they can hiking and camping spending weekends by the Platte River at Indian Cave State Park and at Hitchcock Park

Their two-bedroom two-bath home comes complete with both front and back decks plus a shared green space Now they donrsquot have to hop in the car to become one with nature
ldquoItrsquos much more peaceful here and we have a spot to sit outsiderdquo adds Butler
It comes as no surprise that younger families are finding their way to the Vinton area It is in a time of revival says Ferguson Harvest Developmentrsquos renovation of The Cottages and the new families moving in are only part of something much bigger His studio has been on 17th and Vinton since 1983 and Ferguson has spent the last 30 years watching the area grow
We are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more
urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Street
-Autumn Gibson
ldquoWhen I arrived in the 1980s Vinton was deadrdquo Ferguson says ldquoThere were vacant places property values were depressed very few peoplemdashit was in a state of serious declinerdquo
Now the street boasts numerous eateries galleries beauty salons carnicerias and a super mercado Not to mention the Apollon which is a new hot spot to experience visual art theatrical performances music and gourmet food
ldquoWhen you see big businesses putting money into neighborhoods you know things are going uprdquo says Ferguson
Councilman Garry Gernandt feels that The Cottages is a vital link to the neighborhoodrsquos rebound
ldquoIt creates a good mix to an area that has been in new stages of revitalization for the last few yearsrdquo says Gernandt
Ratigan and Butler are excited to be a part of that mix
ldquoThe positivity of this area is underratedrdquo says Butler ldquoItrsquos very family friendly and a great part of townrdquo Encounter

IF THE LATE soul master James Brown was the hardest working man in show business then
singer Mary Carrick is Omaharsquos hardest working woman in entertainment
When the Nebraska Arts Council touring artist isnrsquot performing her own cabaret act shersquos singing in the Opera Omaha chorus or acting in a musical theater production She also does special events like the Omaha Press Club Show and Omaha Creative Institute Spring Fling
In addition to her rehearsals and vocal exercises she attends cabaret workshops All this comes on top of working a full-time marketing job being married and raising two small children Yet shersquos made time to create her debut CD Letrsquos Fly with artistic producer and arranger J Gawf a pianist whose day job finds him serving as Opera Omaha resident music director and chorus master
The album available on iTunes Amazoncom and CD Baby showcases Carrickrsquos big voice wide range and eclectic tastes The 10 tracks about love and desire include the Harold Arlen-Johnny Mercer standard ldquoCome Rain or Come Shinerdquo Cole Porterrsquos ldquoSo in Loverdquo the Hank Williams classic ldquoIrsquom So Lonesome I Could Cryrdquo Barry Manilowrsquos bath-houser
ldquoMan Wantedrdquo and the Jon Mitchell hit ldquoBoth Sides Nowrdquo Therersquos even Leonard Cohenrsquos edgy ldquoDance Me to the End of Loverdquo
The projectrsquos an intriguing collaboration between a versatile singer deeply rooted in the Great American Songbook and a multifaceted musician immersed in opera Carrick who can sing anything has a voice with operatic qualities and Gawf who can play anything is well-versed in popular music Hersquos also Carrickrsquos primary vocal coach and the two have developed an aesthetic kinship and personal friendship
Gawf has worked with world-class singers and is a great admirer of Carrickrsquos vocal instrument
ldquoItrsquos crystalline clear itrsquos shiny itrsquos got shimmerrdquo
he says ldquoShe has such a range to go from the high register which I think is a beautiful part of her voice to the low registerrdquo
Then therersquos what Carrick can do with a song
ldquoWell shersquos a storyteller number onerdquo he says ldquoShe comes from a theater background and
she can tell a story like nobodyrsquos businessrdquo
Carrick has found a niche in cabaret performances that often find her teaming with pianist-vocalist Todd Brooks
ldquoTherersquos so much artistic freedom in cabaretrdquo she says ldquoTherersquos really no rules I can program whatever I want I can do songs that are traditionally sung by men and make them my own I can infuse myself and my own experiences into the songs Therersquos a very intimate connection with the audience that I love very much I can talk and tell stories throughout my show I love that audience-to-singer energy that happens in the room Itrsquos exhilaratingrdquo
Shersquos been recognized by the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards and the Theatre Arts Guild for her cabaret shows as well as productions of her own Broadstreet Theatre Company
When Carrick broached the concept of her album Gawf wanted in and says the chance of ldquodoing something Irsquod never donerdquo appealed to him ldquoMary gave me free licenserdquo
The songs on ldquoLetrsquos Flyrdquo have been covered many times by other artists but Gawf was intentional in taking a new slant
ldquoI pride myself on not listening to other artists before I tackle something because I donrsquot want to get preconceived ideas of how something should be I like to take the song off the page and then re-imagine it After we got our arrangements together I listened to what other people did to see where ours fit in and wersquove got some unique things Half the fun was coming up with what works for usrdquo
Carrick feels shersquos in good hands with Gawf
ldquoI put my trust completely in him Itrsquos just been an awesome match I think we work in tandem really well He totally gets me He can tell when Irsquom not giving as much as I need to There was one session where he said lsquoI donrsquot feel like yoursquore giving your all to mersquo and he was right I know where hersquos at he knows where Irsquom at We can sort of feel where wersquore going where things arenrsquot workingrdquo
Carrick says she most enjoys ldquothe creative processrdquo and with the CD shersquos pleased to have gone to ldquoa real vulnerable place in being completely true to the material Itrsquos a scary place to go if you really want to be an honest singer but I think we achieved that rdquo
For the album Gawf assembled musicians hersquos worked with before including three Omaha mainstays in percussionist JB Ferguson bass player Mark Haar and accordion player Kate Williams Jazz pianist Eric Andries joined the ensemble from his home in Baton Rouge La
The CD marked the inaugural project for Dreamtree Recording a new studio operated by Omaha musician and sound engineer extraordinaire Marty Bierman
The recording sessions became Gawf rsquos playground to have the musicians try different rhythms and temposmdashadding subtracting mixing matching various sounds
ldquoIt was true experimentation all the way aroundrdquo he says ldquoIt was fun to be able to do that to not take it straight from the page and to work with such great instrumentalistsrdquo
Carrick says the CD was both ldquoa fascinatingrdquo and ldquomassive undertakingrdquo that ldquoorganically developedrdquo Donrsquot be surprised if she and Gawf re-team for a new project Encounter

THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community
ldquoItrsquos active transportationrdquo says Turner ldquoIt improves air quality to have fewer cars on the road It improves the physical fitness and wellbeing of those who ride

Sales go up for retailers near one of the stations And itrsquos been demonstrated that businesses in cities with bike programs can more easily attract and retain the best talent Business looks to cities who care about sustainabilityrdquo
Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work
ldquoB-Cycle is one more great addition to
Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo
-Daniel Lawse
ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green
ldquoThis is an exciting time to live and work in this cityrdquo Lawse says ldquoand B-Cycle is one more great addition to Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo Encounter

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

the cottagesA R E B I R T H O N V I N T O N S T R E E T
by Jillian Humphries photography by Sarah Lemke
WHEN NEWLY ENGAGED Ryan Ratigan and fianceacute Khilah Butler decided that their downtown apartment wasnrsquot cutting it any more most might
assume a move out west was in order Not for these two
Butler happened to have attended the Young Professionals Summit put on by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce The event featured a tour of South Omaha given by artist Larry Ferguson a photographer whose studio is on Vinton Street She knew she was on to something
ldquoWe knew we wanted to look at the Vinton areardquo says Butler ldquoIt has a true neighborhood feelrdquo
Ratigan agreed that the arearsquos rich cultural history makes for a unique neighborhood vibe And the location was a bit away from the bustle of downtown while still being close to the heart of the city
Butler is a manager at the First National Bank contact center while Ratigan is an attorney His office is located downtown but he also often works from home
After surveying the area for possible houses the couple found their home in The Cottages situated between Vinton Spring 21st and 22nd streets
ldquoThere are only three stoplights between here and Downtownrdquo says Ratigan ldquoYou canrsquot beat thatrdquo
The Cottages were recently purchased by Harvest Development and endured an extreme facelift Built in the 1890s the homes were originally used for immigrant meat packers mostly Korean working in the stockyards
According to Autumn Gibson the director of property management about half of the 20 rental homes are still up for grabs at the just-opened Cottages
ldquoWe are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Streetrdquo Gibson says
The homes are 1frac12 stories and can be found in several sizes Though the homes have been redone from top to bottom they still evoke a bygone era
ldquoI like that itrsquos an older homerdquo says Ratigan ldquobut they kept all the original hard wood floors and charm You can tell that there is great respect for the area that is being preservedrdquo
The young couple was also looking for outdoor space The two try to spend as much time as they can hiking and camping spending weekends by the Platte River at Indian Cave State Park and at Hitchcock Park

L I V I N G
Their two-bedroom two-bath home comes complete with both front and back decks plus a shared green space Now they donrsquot have to hop in the car to become one with nature
ldquoItrsquos much more peaceful here and we have a spot to sit outsiderdquo adds Butler
It comes as no surprise that younger families are finding their way to the Vinton area It is in a time of revival says Ferguson Harvest Developmentrsquos renovation of The Cottages and the new families moving in are only part of something much bigger His studio has been on 17th and Vinton since 1983 and Ferguson has spent the last 30 years watching the area grow
We are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more
urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Street
-Autumn Gibson
ldquoWhen I arrived in the 1980s Vinton was deadrdquo Ferguson says ldquoThere were vacant places property values were depressed very few peoplemdashit was in a state of serious declinerdquo
Now the street boasts numerous eateries galleries beauty salons carnicerias and a super mercado Not to mention the Apollon which is a new hot spot to experience visual art theatrical performances music and gourmet food
ldquoWhen you see big businesses putting money into neighborhoods you know things are going uprdquo says Ferguson
Councilman Garry Gernandt feels that The Cottages is a vital link to the neighborhoodrsquos rebound
ldquoIt creates a good mix to an area that has been in new stages of revitalization for the last few yearsrdquo says Gernandt
Ratigan and Butler are excited to be a part of that mix
ldquoThe positivity of this area is underratedrdquo says Butler ldquoItrsquos very family friendly and a great part of townrdquo Encounter

IF THE LATE soul master James Brown was the hardest working man in show business then
singer Mary Carrick is Omaharsquos hardest working woman in entertainment
When the Nebraska Arts Council touring artist isnrsquot performing her own cabaret act shersquos singing in the Opera Omaha chorus or acting in a musical theater production She also does special events like the Omaha Press Club Show and Omaha Creative Institute Spring Fling
In addition to her rehearsals and vocal exercises she attends cabaret workshops All this comes on top of working a full-time marketing job being married and raising two small children Yet shersquos made time to create her debut CD Letrsquos Fly with artistic producer and arranger J Gawf a pianist whose day job finds him serving as Opera Omaha resident music director and chorus master
The album available on iTunes Amazoncom and CD Baby showcases Carrickrsquos big voice wide range and eclectic tastes The 10 tracks about love and desire include the Harold Arlen-Johnny Mercer standard ldquoCome Rain or Come Shinerdquo Cole Porterrsquos ldquoSo in Loverdquo the Hank Williams classic ldquoIrsquom So Lonesome I Could Cryrdquo Barry Manilowrsquos bath-houser
ldquoMan Wantedrdquo and the Jon Mitchell hit ldquoBoth Sides Nowrdquo Therersquos even Leonard Cohenrsquos edgy ldquoDance Me to the End of Loverdquo
The projectrsquos an intriguing collaboration between a versatile singer deeply rooted in the Great American Songbook and a multifaceted musician immersed in opera Carrick who can sing anything has a voice with operatic qualities and Gawf who can play anything is well-versed in popular music Hersquos also Carrickrsquos primary vocal coach and the two have developed an aesthetic kinship and personal friendship
Gawf has worked with world-class singers and is a great admirer of Carrickrsquos vocal instrument
ldquoItrsquos crystalline clear itrsquos shiny itrsquos got shimmerrdquo
he says ldquoShe has such a range to go from the high register which I think is a beautiful part of her voice to the low registerrdquo
Then therersquos what Carrick can do with a song
ldquoWell shersquos a storyteller number onerdquo he says ldquoShe comes from a theater background and
she can tell a story like nobodyrsquos businessrdquo
Carrick has found a niche in cabaret performances that often find her teaming with pianist-vocalist Todd Brooks
ldquoTherersquos so much artistic freedom in cabaretrdquo she says ldquoTherersquos really no rules I can program whatever I want I can do songs that are traditionally sung by men and make them my own I can infuse myself and my own experiences into the songs Therersquos a very intimate connection with the audience that I love very much I can talk and tell stories throughout my show I love that audience-to-singer energy that happens in the room Itrsquos exhilaratingrdquo
Shersquos been recognized by the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards and the Theatre Arts Guild for her cabaret shows as well as productions of her own Broadstreet Theatre Company
When Carrick broached the concept of her album Gawf wanted in and says the chance of ldquodoing something Irsquod never donerdquo appealed to him ldquoMary gave me free licenserdquo
The songs on ldquoLetrsquos Flyrdquo have been covered many times by other artists but Gawf was intentional in taking a new slant
ldquoI pride myself on not listening to other artists before I tackle something because I donrsquot want to get preconceived ideas of how something should be I like to take the song off the page and then re-imagine it After we got our arrangements together I listened to what other people did to see where ours fit in and wersquove got some unique things Half the fun was coming up with what works for usrdquo
Carrick feels shersquos in good hands with Gawf
ldquoI put my trust completely in him Itrsquos just been an awesome match I think we work in tandem really well He totally gets me He can tell when Irsquom not giving as much as I need to There was one session where he said lsquoI donrsquot feel like yoursquore giving your all to mersquo and he was right I know where hersquos at he knows where Irsquom at We can sort of feel where wersquore going where things arenrsquot workingrdquo
Carrick says she most enjoys ldquothe creative processrdquo and with the CD shersquos pleased to have gone to ldquoa real vulnerable place in being completely true to the material Itrsquos a scary place to go if you really want to be an honest singer but I think we achieved that rdquo
For the album Gawf assembled musicians hersquos worked with before including three Omaha mainstays in percussionist JB Ferguson bass player Mark Haar and accordion player Kate Williams Jazz pianist Eric Andries joined the ensemble from his home in Baton Rouge La
The CD marked the inaugural project for Dreamtree Recording a new studio operated by Omaha musician and sound engineer extraordinaire Marty Bierman
The recording sessions became Gawf rsquos playground to have the musicians try different rhythms and temposmdashadding subtracting mixing matching various sounds
ldquoIt was true experimentation all the way aroundrdquo he says ldquoIt was fun to be able to do that to not take it straight from the page and to work with such great instrumentalistsrdquo
Carrick says the CD was both ldquoa fascinatingrdquo and ldquomassive undertakingrdquo that ldquoorganically developedrdquo Donrsquot be surprised if she and Gawf re-team for a new project Encounter

THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community
ldquoItrsquos active transportationrdquo says Turner ldquoIt improves air quality to have fewer cars on the road It improves the physical fitness and wellbeing of those who ride

Sales go up for retailers near one of the stations And itrsquos been demonstrated that businesses in cities with bike programs can more easily attract and retain the best talent Business looks to cities who care about sustainabilityrdquo
Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work
ldquoB-Cycle is one more great addition to

-Daniel Lawse
ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

WHEN NEWLY ENGAGED Ryan Ratigan and fianceacute Khilah Butler decided that their downtown apartment wasnrsquot cutting it any more most might
assume a move out west was in order Not for these two
Butler happened to have attended the Young Professionals Summit put on by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce The event featured a tour of South Omaha given by artist Larry Ferguson a photographer whose studio is on Vinton Street She knew she was on to something
ldquoWe knew we wanted to look at the Vinton areardquo says Butler ldquoIt has a true neighborhood feelrdquo
Ratigan agreed that the arearsquos rich cultural history makes for a unique neighborhood vibe And the location was a bit away from the bustle of downtown while still being close to the heart of the city
Butler is a manager at the First National Bank contact center while Ratigan is an attorney His office is located downtown but he also often works from home
After surveying the area for possible houses the couple found their home in The Cottages situated between Vinton Spring 21st and 22nd streets
ldquoThere are only three stoplights between here and Downtownrdquo says Ratigan ldquoYou canrsquot beat thatrdquo
The Cottages were recently purchased by Harvest Development and endured an extreme facelift Built in the 1890s the homes were originally used for immigrant meat packers mostly Korean working in the stockyards
According to Autumn Gibson the director of property management about half of the 20 rental homes are still up for grabs at the just-opened Cottages
ldquoWe are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Streetrdquo Gibson says
The homes are 1frac12 stories and can be found in several sizes Though the homes have been redone from top to bottom they still evoke a bygone era
ldquoI like that itrsquos an older homerdquo says Ratigan ldquobut they kept all the original hard wood floors and charm You can tell that there is great respect for the area that is being preservedrdquo
The young couple was also looking for outdoor space The two try to spend as much time as they can hiking and camping spending weekends by the Platte River at Indian Cave State Park and at Hitchcock Park

Their two-bedroom two-bath home comes complete with both front and back decks plus a shared green space Now they donrsquot have to hop in the car to become one with nature
ldquoItrsquos much more peaceful here and we have a spot to sit outsiderdquo adds Butler
It comes as no surprise that younger families are finding their way to the Vinton area It is in a time of revival says Ferguson Harvest Developmentrsquos renovation of The Cottages and the new families moving in are only part of something much bigger His studio has been on 17th and Vinton since 1983 and Ferguson has spent the last 30 years watching the area grow
We are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more
urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Street
-Autumn Gibson
ldquoWhen I arrived in the 1980s Vinton was deadrdquo Ferguson says ldquoThere were vacant places property values were depressed very few peoplemdashit was in a state of serious declinerdquo
Now the street boasts numerous eateries galleries beauty salons carnicerias and a super mercado Not to mention the Apollon which is a new hot spot to experience visual art theatrical performances music and gourmet food
ldquoWhen you see big businesses putting money into neighborhoods you know things are going uprdquo says Ferguson
Councilman Garry Gernandt feels that The Cottages is a vital link to the neighborhoodrsquos rebound
ldquoIt creates a good mix to an area that has been in new stages of revitalization for the last few yearsrdquo says Gernandt
Ratigan and Butler are excited to be a part of that mix
ldquoThe positivity of this area is underratedrdquo says Butler ldquoItrsquos very family friendly and a great part of townrdquo Encounter

IF THE LATE soul master James Brown was the hardest working man in show business then
singer Mary Carrick is Omaharsquos hardest working woman in entertainment
When the Nebraska Arts Council touring artist isnrsquot performing her own cabaret act shersquos singing in the Opera Omaha chorus or acting in a musical theater production She also does special events like the Omaha Press Club Show and Omaha Creative Institute Spring Fling
In addition to her rehearsals and vocal exercises she attends cabaret workshops All this comes on top of working a full-time marketing job being married and raising two small children Yet shersquos made time to create her debut CD Letrsquos Fly with artistic producer and arranger J Gawf a pianist whose day job finds him serving as Opera Omaha resident music director and chorus master
The album available on iTunes Amazoncom and CD Baby showcases Carrickrsquos big voice wide range and eclectic tastes The 10 tracks about love and desire include the Harold Arlen-Johnny Mercer standard ldquoCome Rain or Come Shinerdquo Cole Porterrsquos ldquoSo in Loverdquo the Hank Williams classic ldquoIrsquom So Lonesome I Could Cryrdquo Barry Manilowrsquos bath-houser
ldquoMan Wantedrdquo and the Jon Mitchell hit ldquoBoth Sides Nowrdquo Therersquos even Leonard Cohenrsquos edgy ldquoDance Me to the End of Loverdquo
The projectrsquos an intriguing collaboration between a versatile singer deeply rooted in the Great American Songbook and a multifaceted musician immersed in opera Carrick who can sing anything has a voice with operatic qualities and Gawf who can play anything is well-versed in popular music Hersquos also Carrickrsquos primary vocal coach and the two have developed an aesthetic kinship and personal friendship
Gawf has worked with world-class singers and is a great admirer of Carrickrsquos vocal instrument
ldquoItrsquos crystalline clear itrsquos shiny itrsquos got shimmerrdquo
he says ldquoShe has such a range to go from the high register which I think is a beautiful part of her voice to the low registerrdquo
Then therersquos what Carrick can do with a song
ldquoWell shersquos a storyteller number onerdquo he says ldquoShe comes from a theater background and
she can tell a story like nobodyrsquos businessrdquo
Carrick has found a niche in cabaret performances that often find her teaming with pianist-vocalist Todd Brooks
ldquoTherersquos so much artistic freedom in cabaretrdquo she says ldquoTherersquos really no rules I can program whatever I want I can do songs that are traditionally sung by men and make them my own I can infuse myself and my own experiences into the songs Therersquos a very intimate connection with the audience that I love very much I can talk and tell stories throughout my show I love that audience-to-singer energy that happens in the room Itrsquos exhilaratingrdquo
Shersquos been recognized by the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards and the Theatre Arts Guild for her cabaret shows as well as productions of her own Broadstreet Theatre Company
When Carrick broached the concept of her album Gawf wanted in and says the chance of ldquodoing something Irsquod never donerdquo appealed to him ldquoMary gave me free licenserdquo
The songs on ldquoLetrsquos Flyrdquo have been covered many times by other artists but Gawf was intentional in taking a new slant
ldquoI pride myself on not listening to other artists before I tackle something because I donrsquot want to get preconceived ideas of how something should be I like to take the song off the page and then re-imagine it After we got our arrangements together I listened to what other people did to see where ours fit in and wersquove got some unique things Half the fun was coming up with what works for usrdquo
Carrick feels shersquos in good hands with Gawf
ldquoI put my trust completely in him Itrsquos just been an awesome match I think we work in tandem really well He totally gets me He can tell when Irsquom not giving as much as I need to There was one session where he said lsquoI donrsquot feel like yoursquore giving your all to mersquo and he was right I know where hersquos at he knows where Irsquom at We can sort of feel where wersquore going where things arenrsquot workingrdquo
Carrick says she most enjoys ldquothe creative processrdquo and with the CD shersquos pleased to have gone to ldquoa real vulnerable place in being completely true to the material Itrsquos a scary place to go if you really want to be an honest singer but I think we achieved that rdquo
For the album Gawf assembled musicians hersquos worked with before including three Omaha mainstays in percussionist JB Ferguson bass player Mark Haar and accordion player Kate Williams Jazz pianist Eric Andries joined the ensemble from his home in Baton Rouge La
The CD marked the inaugural project for Dreamtree Recording a new studio operated by Omaha musician and sound engineer extraordinaire Marty Bierman
The recording sessions became Gawf rsquos playground to have the musicians try different rhythms and temposmdashadding subtracting mixing matching various sounds
ldquoIt was true experimentation all the way aroundrdquo he says ldquoIt was fun to be able to do that to not take it straight from the page and to work with such great instrumentalistsrdquo
Carrick says the CD was both ldquoa fascinatingrdquo and ldquomassive undertakingrdquo that ldquoorganically developedrdquo Donrsquot be surprised if she and Gawf re-team for a new project Encounter

THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I

E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

It comes as no surprise that younger families are finding their way to the Vinton area It is in a time of revival says Ferguson Harvest Developmentrsquos renovation of The Cottages and the new families moving in are only part of something much bigger His studio has been on 17th and Vinton since 1983 and Ferguson has spent the last 30 years watching the area grow
We are hoping to entice those who are interested in not only a more
urban feel but also in being a part of the revival of Vinton Street
-Autumn Gibson
ldquoWhen I arrived in the 1980s Vinton was deadrdquo Ferguson says ldquoThere were vacant places property values were depressed very few peoplemdashit was in a state of serious declinerdquo
Now the street boasts numerous eateries galleries beauty salons carnicerias and a super mercado Not to mention the Apollon which is a new hot spot to experience visual art theatrical performances music and gourmet food
ldquoWhen you see big businesses putting money into neighborhoods you know things are going uprdquo says Ferguson
Councilman Garry Gernandt feels that The Cottages is a vital link to the neighborhoodrsquos rebound
ldquoIt creates a good mix to an area that has been in new stages of revitalization for the last few yearsrdquo says Gernandt
Ratigan and Butler are excited to be a part of that mix
ldquoThe positivity of this area is underratedrdquo says Butler ldquoItrsquos very family friendly and a great part of townrdquo Encounter

IF THE LATE soul master James Brown was the hardest working man in show business then
singer Mary Carrick is Omaharsquos hardest working woman in entertainment
When the Nebraska Arts Council touring artist isnrsquot performing her own cabaret act shersquos singing in the Opera Omaha chorus or acting in a musical theater production She also does special events like the Omaha Press Club Show and Omaha Creative Institute Spring Fling
In addition to her rehearsals and vocal exercises she attends cabaret workshops All this comes on top of working a full-time marketing job being married and raising two small children Yet shersquos made time to create her debut CD Letrsquos Fly with artistic producer and arranger J Gawf a pianist whose day job finds him serving as Opera Omaha resident music director and chorus master
The album available on iTunes Amazoncom and CD Baby showcases Carrickrsquos big voice wide range and eclectic tastes The 10 tracks about love and desire include the Harold Arlen-Johnny Mercer standard ldquoCome Rain or Come Shinerdquo Cole Porterrsquos ldquoSo in Loverdquo the Hank Williams classic ldquoIrsquom So Lonesome I Could Cryrdquo Barry Manilowrsquos bath-houser
ldquoMan Wantedrdquo and the Jon Mitchell hit ldquoBoth Sides Nowrdquo Therersquos even Leonard Cohenrsquos edgy ldquoDance Me to the End of Loverdquo
The projectrsquos an intriguing collaboration between a versatile singer deeply rooted in the Great American Songbook and a multifaceted musician immersed in opera Carrick who can sing anything has a voice with operatic qualities and Gawf who can play anything is well-versed in popular music Hersquos also Carrickrsquos primary vocal coach and the two have developed an aesthetic kinship and personal friendship
Gawf has worked with world-class singers and is a great admirer of Carrickrsquos vocal instrument
ldquoItrsquos crystalline clear itrsquos shiny itrsquos got shimmerrdquo
he says ldquoShe has such a range to go from the high register which I think is a beautiful part of her voice to the low registerrdquo
Then therersquos what Carrick can do with a song
ldquoWell shersquos a storyteller number onerdquo he says ldquoShe comes from a theater background and
she can tell a story like nobodyrsquos businessrdquo
Carrick has found a niche in cabaret performances that often find her teaming with pianist-vocalist Todd Brooks
ldquoTherersquos so much artistic freedom in cabaretrdquo she says ldquoTherersquos really no rules I can program whatever I want I can do songs that are traditionally sung by men and make them my own I can infuse myself and my own experiences into the songs Therersquos a very intimate connection with the audience that I love very much I can talk and tell stories throughout my show I love that audience-to-singer energy that happens in the room Itrsquos exhilaratingrdquo
Shersquos been recognized by the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards and the Theatre Arts Guild for her cabaret shows as well as productions of her own Broadstreet Theatre Company
When Carrick broached the concept of her album Gawf wanted in and says the chance of ldquodoing something Irsquod never donerdquo appealed to him ldquoMary gave me free licenserdquo
The songs on ldquoLetrsquos Flyrdquo have been covered many times by other artists but Gawf was intentional in taking a new slant
ldquoI pride myself on not listening to other artists before I tackle something because I donrsquot want to get preconceived ideas of how something should be I like to take the song off the page and then re-imagine it After we got our arrangements together I listened to what other people did to see where ours fit in and wersquove got some unique things Half the fun was coming up with what works for usrdquo
Carrick feels shersquos in good hands with Gawf
ldquoI put my trust completely in him Itrsquos just been an awesome match I think we work in tandem really well He totally gets me He can tell when Irsquom not giving as much as I need to There was one session where he said lsquoI donrsquot feel like yoursquore giving your all to mersquo and he was right I know where hersquos at he knows where Irsquom at We can sort of feel where wersquore going where things arenrsquot workingrdquo
Carrick says she most enjoys ldquothe creative processrdquo and with the CD shersquos pleased to have gone to ldquoa real vulnerable place in being completely true to the material Itrsquos a scary place to go if you really want to be an honest singer but I think we achieved that rdquo
For the album Gawf assembled musicians hersquos worked with before including three Omaha mainstays in percussionist JB Ferguson bass player Mark Haar and accordion player Kate Williams Jazz pianist Eric Andries joined the ensemble from his home in Baton Rouge La
The CD marked the inaugural project for Dreamtree Recording a new studio operated by Omaha musician and sound engineer extraordinaire Marty Bierman
The recording sessions became Gawf rsquos playground to have the musicians try different rhythms and temposmdashadding subtracting mixing matching various sounds
ldquoIt was true experimentation all the way aroundrdquo he says ldquoIt was fun to be able to do that to not take it straight from the page and to work with such great instrumentalistsrdquo
Carrick says the CD was both ldquoa fascinatingrdquo and ldquomassive undertakingrdquo that ldquoorganically developedrdquo Donrsquot be surprised if she and Gawf re-team for a new project Encounter

THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I

O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

IF THE LATE soul master James Brown was the hardest working man in show business then
singer Mary Carrick is Omaharsquos hardest working woman in entertainment
When the Nebraska Arts Council touring artist isnrsquot performing her own cabaret act shersquos singing in the Opera Omaha chorus or acting in a musical theater production She also does special events like the Omaha Press Club Show and Omaha Creative Institute Spring Fling
In addition to her rehearsals and vocal exercises she attends cabaret workshops All this comes on top of working a full-time marketing job being married and raising two small children Yet shersquos made time to create her debut CD Letrsquos Fly with artistic producer and arranger J Gawf a pianist whose day job finds him serving as Opera Omaha resident music director and chorus master
The album available on iTunes Amazoncom and CD Baby showcases Carrickrsquos big voice wide range and eclectic tastes The 10 tracks about love and desire include the Harold Arlen-Johnny Mercer standard ldquoCome Rain or Come Shinerdquo Cole Porterrsquos ldquoSo in Loverdquo the Hank Williams classic ldquoIrsquom So Lonesome I Could Cryrdquo Barry Manilowrsquos bath-houser
ldquoMan Wantedrdquo and the Jon Mitchell hit ldquoBoth Sides Nowrdquo Therersquos even Leonard Cohenrsquos edgy ldquoDance Me to the End of Loverdquo
The projectrsquos an intriguing collaboration between a versatile singer deeply rooted in the Great American Songbook and a multifaceted musician immersed in opera Carrick who can sing anything has a voice with operatic qualities and Gawf who can play anything is well-versed in popular music Hersquos also Carrickrsquos primary vocal coach and the two have developed an aesthetic kinship and personal friendship
Gawf has worked with world-class singers and is a great admirer of Carrickrsquos vocal instrument
ldquoItrsquos crystalline clear itrsquos shiny itrsquos got shimmerrdquo
he says ldquoShe has such a range to go from the high register which I think is a beautiful part of her voice to the low registerrdquo
Then therersquos what Carrick can do with a song
ldquoWell shersquos a storyteller number onerdquo he says ldquoShe comes from a theater background and
she can tell a story like nobodyrsquos businessrdquo
Carrick has found a niche in cabaret performances that often find her teaming with pianist-vocalist Todd Brooks
ldquoTherersquos so much artistic freedom in cabaretrdquo she says ldquoTherersquos really no rules I can program whatever I want I can do songs that are traditionally sung by men and make them my own I can infuse myself and my own experiences into the songs Therersquos a very intimate connection with the audience that I love very much I can talk and tell stories throughout my show I love that audience-to-singer energy that happens in the room Itrsquos exhilaratingrdquo
Shersquos been recognized by the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards and the Theatre Arts Guild for her cabaret shows as well as productions of her own Broadstreet Theatre Company
When Carrick broached the concept of her album Gawf wanted in and says the chance of ldquodoing something Irsquod never donerdquo appealed to him ldquoMary gave me free licenserdquo
The songs on ldquoLetrsquos Flyrdquo have been covered many times by other artists but Gawf was intentional in taking a new slant
ldquoI pride myself on not listening to other artists before I tackle something because I donrsquot want to get preconceived ideas of how something should be I like to take the song off the page and then re-imagine it After we got our arrangements together I listened to what other people did to see where ours fit in and wersquove got some unique things Half the fun was coming up with what works for usrdquo
Carrick feels shersquos in good hands with Gawf
ldquoI put my trust completely in him Itrsquos just been an awesome match I think we work in tandem really well He totally gets me He can tell when Irsquom not giving as much as I need to There was one session where he said lsquoI donrsquot feel like yoursquore giving your all to mersquo and he was right I know where hersquos at he knows where Irsquom at We can sort of feel where wersquore going where things arenrsquot workingrdquo
Carrick says she most enjoys ldquothe creative processrdquo and with the CD shersquos pleased to have gone to ldquoa real vulnerable place in being completely true to the material Itrsquos a scary place to go if you really want to be an honest singer but I think we achieved that rdquo
For the album Gawf assembled musicians hersquos worked with before including three Omaha mainstays in percussionist JB Ferguson bass player Mark Haar and accordion player Kate Williams Jazz pianist Eric Andries joined the ensemble from his home in Baton Rouge La
The CD marked the inaugural project for Dreamtree Recording a new studio operated by Omaha musician and sound engineer extraordinaire Marty Bierman
The recording sessions became Gawf rsquos playground to have the musicians try different rhythms and temposmdashadding subtracting mixing matching various sounds
ldquoIt was true experimentation all the way aroundrdquo he says ldquoIt was fun to be able to do that to not take it straight from the page and to work with such great instrumentalistsrdquo
Carrick says the CD was both ldquoa fascinatingrdquo and ldquomassive undertakingrdquo that ldquoorganically developedrdquo Donrsquot be surprised if she and Gawf re-team for a new project Encounter

THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community

Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work

ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

IF THE LATE soul master James Brown was the hardest working man in show business then
singer Mary Carrick is Omaharsquos hardest working woman in entertainment
When the Nebraska Arts Council touring artist isnrsquot performing her own cabaret act shersquos singing in the Opera Omaha chorus or acting in a musical theater production She also does special events like the Omaha Press Club Show and Omaha Creative Institute Spring Fling
In addition to her rehearsals and vocal exercises she attends cabaret workshops All this comes on top of working a full-time marketing job being married and raising two small children Yet shersquos made time to create her debut CD Letrsquos Fly with artistic producer and arranger J Gawf a pianist whose day job finds him serving as Opera Omaha resident music director and chorus master
The album available on iTunes Amazoncom and CD Baby showcases Carrickrsquos big voice wide range and eclectic tastes The 10 tracks about love and desire include the Harold Arlen-Johnny Mercer standard ldquoCome Rain or Come Shinerdquo Cole Porterrsquos ldquoSo in Loverdquo the Hank Williams classic ldquoIrsquom So Lonesome I Could Cryrdquo Barry Manilowrsquos bath-houser
ldquoMan Wantedrdquo and the Jon Mitchell hit ldquoBoth Sides Nowrdquo Therersquos even Leonard Cohenrsquos edgy ldquoDance Me to the End of Loverdquo
The projectrsquos an intriguing collaboration between a versatile singer deeply rooted in the Great American Songbook and a multifaceted musician immersed in opera Carrick who can sing anything has a voice with operatic qualities and Gawf who can play anything is well-versed in popular music Hersquos also Carrickrsquos primary vocal coach and the two have developed an aesthetic kinship and personal friendship
Gawf has worked with world-class singers and is a great admirer of Carrickrsquos vocal instrument
ldquoItrsquos crystalline clear itrsquos shiny itrsquos got shimmerrdquo
he says ldquoShe has such a range to go from the high register which I think is a beautiful part of her voice to the low registerrdquo
Then therersquos what Carrick can do with a song
ldquoWell shersquos a storyteller number onerdquo he says ldquoShe comes from a theater background and
she can tell a story like nobodyrsquos businessrdquo
Carrick has found a niche in cabaret performances that often find her teaming with pianist-vocalist Todd Brooks
ldquoTherersquos so much artistic freedom in cabaretrdquo she says ldquoTherersquos really no rules I can program whatever I want I can do songs that are traditionally sung by men and make them my own I can infuse myself and my own experiences into the songs Therersquos a very intimate connection with the audience that I love very much I can talk and tell stories throughout my show I love that audience-to-singer energy that happens in the room Itrsquos exhilaratingrdquo
Shersquos been recognized by the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards and the Theatre Arts Guild for her cabaret shows as well as productions of her own Broadstreet Theatre Company
When Carrick broached the concept of her album Gawf wanted in and says the chance of ldquodoing something Irsquod never donerdquo appealed to him ldquoMary gave me free licenserdquo
The songs on ldquoLetrsquos Flyrdquo have been covered many times by other artists but Gawf was intentional in taking a new slant
ldquoI pride myself on not listening to other artists before I tackle something because I donrsquot want to get preconceived ideas of how something should be I like to take the song off the page and then re-imagine it After we got our arrangements together I listened to what other people did to see where ours fit in and wersquove got some unique things Half the fun was coming up with what works for usrdquo
Carrick feels shersquos in good hands with Gawf
ldquoI put my trust completely in him Itrsquos just been an awesome match I think we work in tandem really well He totally gets me He can tell when Irsquom not giving as much as I need to There was one session where he said lsquoI donrsquot feel like yoursquore giving your all to mersquo and he was right I know where hersquos at he knows where Irsquom at We can sort of feel where wersquore going where things arenrsquot workingrdquo
Carrick says she most enjoys ldquothe creative processrdquo and with the CD shersquos pleased to have gone to ldquoa real vulnerable place in being completely true to the material Itrsquos a scary place to go if you really want to be an honest singer but I think we achieved that rdquo
For the album Gawf assembled musicians hersquos worked with before including three Omaha mainstays in percussionist JB Ferguson bass player Mark Haar and accordion player Kate Williams Jazz pianist Eric Andries joined the ensemble from his home in Baton Rouge La
The CD marked the inaugural project for Dreamtree Recording a new studio operated by Omaha musician and sound engineer extraordinaire Marty Bierman
The recording sessions became Gawf rsquos playground to have the musicians try different rhythms and temposmdashadding subtracting mixing matching various sounds
ldquoIt was true experimentation all the way aroundrdquo he says ldquoIt was fun to be able to do that to not take it straight from the page and to work with such great instrumentalistsrdquo
Carrick says the CD was both ldquoa fascinatingrdquo and ldquomassive undertakingrdquo that ldquoorganically developedrdquo Donrsquot be surprised if she and Gawf re-team for a new project Encounter

THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community
ldquoItrsquos active transportationrdquo says Turner ldquoIt improves air quality to have fewer cars on the road It improves the physical fitness and wellbeing of those who ride

Sales go up for retailers near one of the stations And itrsquos been demonstrated that businesses in cities with bike programs can more easily attract and retain the best talent Business looks to cities who care about sustainabilityrdquo
Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work
ldquoB-Cycle is one more great addition to
Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo
-Daniel Lawse
ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green
ldquoThis is an exciting time to live and work in this cityrdquo Lawse says ldquoand B-Cycle is one more great addition to Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo Encounter

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I

E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

E N C O U N T E R 14
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

E N C O U N T E R 14

THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community
ldquoItrsquos active transportationrdquo says Turner ldquoIt improves air quality to have fewer cars on the road It improves the physical fitness and wellbeing of those who ride

Sales go up for retailers near one of the stations And itrsquos been demonstrated that businesses in cities with bike programs can more easily attract and retain the best talent Business looks to cities who care about sustainabilityrdquo
Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work
ldquoB-Cycle is one more great addition to
Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo
-Daniel Lawse
ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green
ldquoThis is an exciting time to live and work in this cityrdquo Lawse says ldquoand B-Cycle is one more great addition to Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo Encounter

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

THE OLD MARKET is one of the cityrsquos more colorfully eclectic neighborhoods Thanks to the street
musician who goes by the moniker of Dr Spit the northwest corner of 11th and Howard on any given day has the power to redefine the very notion of ldquocolorfulrdquo or ldquoeclecticrdquo
The man who casually shrugs that his real name is ldquoirrelevantrdquo has enjoyed a performance career that began before he was out of diapers ldquoMadea [a Southern-fried pet name for onersquos mother since mainstreamed by Tyler Perryrsquos films of the same name] used to dress us up and march us Uptown We were singing and dancing before we could talk practically before we could even walk Wersquod do Gospel mostly You know old-time church music And people would throw moneyrdquo
The Uptown in question belonged to a pre-civil rights era Waxahachie Texas where the now 60-year-old was born in the cruelest of surroundings ldquoThe hospital wouldnrsquot take us The insane asylum was the only place back then that would do deliveries for us black folksrdquo says the man whose broad and deep repertoire includes everything from blues jazz and funk to country reggae and rockmdasheven a decidedly experimental genre he once toyed with called rap polka
ldquoWhatever you pay for I can play forrdquo he quips
The good doctor hasnrsquot always made a living by having people throw money at him His bands have included such groups as Dr Spit and the Blues Mechanics and Hit it and Quit a name inspired by the lyrics of James Brownrsquos ldquoGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machinerdquo He toured extensively in the rsquo70s and rsquo80s all throughout the Midwest and also gig-hopped across Europe in the rsquo90s One of his favorite music scenes is The Big Easy
ldquoIrsquove performed all up and down Bourbon Streetrdquo says the musician who was once featured in AARP Magazine ldquoThatrsquos one of the most flattering compliments I getmdashwhen somebody tells me that my little corner of the Old Market sounds just like the French Quarter in New Orleansrdquo
Oh and the origin of his Dr Spit alter ego ldquoThis may sound a little crazy but itrsquos a name
that came to me in a dream because Irsquom a harp manrdquo Thatrsquos a harp as in a harmonica the same instrument that Dr Spit has taught to schoolchildren through programs supported by North Omaharsquos Charles B Washington branch of the Omaha Public Library system
But fate hasnrsquot always smiled on this bluesmaster He was among the throngs of people celebrating at Native Omaha Day in 2005 when a drive-by shooter fired wildly into the crowd Dr Spitrsquos reward for being in the wrong place at the wrong time was a bullet to the head He also suffers from a medical journal full of heart ailments and has had five heart attacks He says that he was declared clinically dead in a trio of those episodes
ldquoItrsquos pretty easy for me to believe in Godrdquo he explains in a velvety baritone ldquoAfter all Irsquove already met him three timesrdquo
His tribulations have forged a personal philosophy that is a simple humble one ldquoIrsquom just happy that I can swing my legs out of bed each and every morning to greet the day Everything after thatmdashbut mostly making music to put a smile on peoplersquos facesmdashis just a bonusrdquo
Also guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of passerby during this the high season for people-watching in the Old Market are the vibrant over-the-top costumes that he devises by embellishing various articles of clothing with all manner of funkadelic finery what he calls his ldquoLady Gaga get-upsrdquo
Dr Spit first took up a place on the corner in 1968 Interacting with his fans he says is still the best part of being an Old Market fixture
ldquoThe kids especiallyrdquo he explains ldquoKids too young to know what a harp is They kind of freeze when they see me play They may have never seen a harmonica being played and they have a confused far-off look on their faces Theyrsquore just mesmerized by it Mesmerized by my harp And you know what So am I After all these decades so am Irdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I

O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community
ldquoItrsquos active transportationrdquo says Turner ldquoIt improves air quality to have fewer cars on the road It improves the physical fitness and wellbeing of those who ride

Sales go up for retailers near one of the stations And itrsquos been demonstrated that businesses in cities with bike programs can more easily attract and retain the best talent Business looks to cities who care about sustainabilityrdquo
Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work
ldquoB-Cycle is one more great addition to
Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo
-Daniel Lawse
ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green
ldquoThis is an exciting time to live and work in this cityrdquo Lawse says ldquoand B-Cycle is one more great addition to Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo Encounter

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

ART IS TIMErdquo observes artist Bill Hoover ldquoYou need to take time and spend time thinking about itrdquo
Thatrsquos why five years ago the painter decided to leave his job as a first-grade para-educator at Liberty Elementary School and committed to becoming a full-time studio artist By that time he had been moonlighting at his avocation for close to two decades and his distinctive paintingsmdasha blend of modern and folk artmdashhad gained him significant recognition on the local visual arts scene It was a commitment that required a leap of faith as well as a trust in his own talent and fortunately for him the decision has paid off both professionally and personally
Hoover didnrsquot begin his creative life as a painter ldquoAs a child I was always writingrdquo he remembers ldquoI loved writing ever since I was a kid and Irsquove written hundreds of short stories and playsrdquo That desire to tell stories also emerged musically with the artist spending several years performing in a local band and writing songs None of those endeavors however resonated as much as making a pastel mark on paper or applying paint to canvas When he hung a painting in Lisarsquos Radial Cafeacute and it sold Hoover knew he had met his true creative calling

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community
ldquoItrsquos active transportationrdquo says Turner ldquoIt improves air quality to have fewer cars on the road It improves the physical fitness and wellbeing of those who ride

Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work
ldquoB-Cycle is one more great addition to

-Daniel Lawse
ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I

E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

That calling draws on myriad influences There are references to modernists such as Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Marc Chagall and muralist Diego Rivera His work is also a nod to Mexican folk art and outsider art Nonetheless the style is entirely Hooverrsquos ldquoIrsquove been doing this for over 20 yearsrdquo he notes ldquoMost of my art comes from the interior and has gone through changes Some of it has darkened Thatrsquos [the result of] going through lifersquos different experiences and spending more time on the workrdquo
Even with some of the darker tones many of his paintings still have an exuberant quality to them Hooverrsquos figurative works have a childlike naiveteacute that communicates a sweet gentleness as is particularly evident in several pieces commissioned by OneWorld Community Health Centers last year His abstract works are similarly characterized by a straightforward simplicity with hatches of black and gray lines often punctuated by ribbons of bright color
Hoover enjoys engaging in mini artistic experiments ones he undertakes purely to challenge himself and keep his skills sharp One recent endeavor involved dividing a canvas into grids and working on a single

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community

Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work

ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I

E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

square for precisely 40 minutes before finishing and spraying it with fixative It was a deliberate sort of spontaneity an oxymoron perhaps but a nonetheless accurate description of an exercise that forced him to create without overthinking or micro-conceptualizing
Hoover is happy with the way his work is progressing and enjoys the unexpected twists and turns his paintings take as his style continually evolves ldquoIrsquom being looser with the materialsrdquo he observes ldquoI never know whatrsquos next I never know what a painting is going to be until Irsquom doing it It reveals itself as Irsquom doing it The creative process is fascinatingrdquo
That creative process has flourished in the studio he maintains in the Mastercraft Building in North Downtown which he moved into almost two years ago when his work began outstripping his home Itrsquos a light-filled atmosphere conducive to creating displaying and selling art and Hoover finds the space has allowed his artistic practice to grow in new directions ldquoA fish will get as big as the pond itrsquos inrdquo he chuckles ldquoand now I have space to growrdquo
Hoover is also happy to share that space He regularly hosts exhibitions for other artists
to showcase their work and so far he has shown art by Shea Wilkinson and Maggie Weber among several others ldquoItrsquos a great gallery space for emerging artistsrdquo he notes
Of course Hoover does occasionally fret about being able to remain a full-time artist
ldquoThe biggest struggle is how to make a career as an artist workrdquo he muses ldquoThere are no role models To make it as a living requires a lot of sales Itrsquos like being a fisherman Itrsquos not always guaranteed yoursquore going to catch enough fish But Irsquove always been taken care of It always comes throughrdquo
Reflecting on his decision six years ago to follow his passion Hoover has no regrets
ldquoTurning 40 I was a bit at a crossroadsrdquo he explains ldquoI asked myself why I wasnrsquot doing it full time Now that I am I love this I feel like I could be here all the timerdquo The painter pauses a moment and then grins ldquoI still feel like Irsquom just beginning and itrsquos a great feelingrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community
ldquoItrsquos active transportationrdquo says Turner ldquoIt improves air quality to have fewer cars on the road It improves the physical fitness and wellbeing of those who ride

Sales go up for retailers near one of the stations And itrsquos been demonstrated that businesses in cities with bike programs can more easily attract and retain the best talent Business looks to cities who care about sustainabilityrdquo
Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work
ldquoB-Cycle is one more great addition to
Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo
-Daniel Lawse
ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green
ldquoThis is an exciting time to live and work in this cityrdquo Lawse says ldquoand B-Cycle is one more great addition to Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo Encounter

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I

E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community
ldquoItrsquos active transportationrdquo says Turner ldquoIt improves air quality to have fewer cars on the road It improves the physical fitness and wellbeing of those who ride

Sales go up for retailers near one of the stations And itrsquos been demonstrated that businesses in cities with bike programs can more easily attract and retain the best talent Business looks to cities who care about sustainabilityrdquo
Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work
ldquoB-Cycle is one more great addition to
Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo
-Daniel Lawse
ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green
ldquoThis is an exciting time to live and work in this cityrdquo Lawse says ldquoand B-Cycle is one more great addition to Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo Encounter

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

LOOKING FOR A new and convenient way to motor around the city but without the motor B-Cycle
the popular bike-sharing program that is an effort of Live Well Omaha has recently added three new pop-up locations to its system
ldquoThe addition of these new stations is another step toward a comprehensive bike-sharing system for the city of Omahardquo says Ben Turner who manages the B-Cycle program
B-Cycle began in 2011 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha and in Aksarben Village It expanded downtown last year There are now 11 B-Cycle stations housing 57 bicycles all of which can be returned to any B-Cycle kiosk The three-speed bikes have a built-in locking mechanism and boast fenders

Therersquos a certain nerd-chic air to the signature blue bicycles that are an increasingly common sight on Omaharsquos urban streets and Turner says that the program aims for as many as 75 kiosks to be placed around town and in Council Bluffs many in collaboration with area businesses looking to better serve their employeeshellipand the environemnt
Bike-share programs Turner says provide many benefits to the community
ldquoItrsquos active transportationrdquo says Turner ldquoIt improves air quality to have fewer cars on the road It improves the physical fitness and wellbeing of those who ride

Sales go up for retailers near one of the stations And itrsquos been demonstrated that businesses in cities with bike programs can more easily attract and retain the best talent Business looks to cities who care about sustainabilityrdquo
Daniel Lawse is a B-Cycle rider who knows more than a little bit about the topic of sustainability On any given day his multi-modal commutes to and from his Gifford Park home may include any combination of walking hopping a bus biking or ride sharing
Lawse is co-owner of Verdis Group a sustainability consulting firm whose offices are in No-Dorsquos TipTop Building the site of a B-Cycle kiosk Verdis Group purchased B-Cycle passes for all of the companyrsquos employees one of whom walks to work
ldquoB-Cycle is one more great addition to

-Daniel Lawse
ldquoWe support a culture of sustainabilityrdquo says Lawse who also provides Metro bus passes to his team ldquoB-Cycle is a natural Itrsquos great for getting around to daytime meetings without having to use a carrdquo
The program he adds is an important addition to a city that is increasingly thinking green
ldquoThis is an exciting time to live and work in this cityrdquo Lawse says ldquoand B-Cycle is one more great addition to Omaharsquos sustainability infrastructurerdquo Encounter

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I

E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I

E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

ONE RECENT SUNDAY the delicious scent of fresh-baked bread and a hodgepodge of other yummy smells wafted outside the Orsirsquos building at 6th and Pacific A steady
stream of customers flowed in and out of the building They made friendly conversation with employees while grabbing bread for Sunday dinner along with domestic and imported meats cheeses and olives for the perfect antipasto plate Others snagged a prized and piping hot pizza to go
In the back hustling to make it all happen was Jim Hall
Hallrsquos first job was at Orsirsquos Times and labor laws have changed since a then 8-year-old boy wrapped bread and buns in paper bags Now he and his wife Kathy own the Little Italy landmark
ldquoItrsquos been part of me my whole liferdquo Hall says Before he returned full-time as owner Hall worked at UPS and OPPD but always kept a weekend shift at Orsirsquos

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

Founded by Alfonso and Raphael Orsi in 1919 the bakery descended through the family over the years In 2006 Hall and Bobby Orsi Jr took ownership from Bob Orsi adding a deli counter with meats cheeses olives oils and dry goods around 2007 In 2010 the Halls became full owners
If anyone thinks that the Hallsrsquo full ownership signaled the changing of the family guard theyrsquod be at least figuratively wrong Hall an informally adopted Orsi has been part of the lifeblood of the iconic South Omaha outfit most of his life
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos now These places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
-Jim Hall
By age 12 Hall was entrusted with a set of keys and along with an older neighborhood kid opened up early each Sunday morning to start baking bread
ldquoIrsquove been here on Sundays since 1967rdquo says Hall ldquoIrsquom German-Austrian by heritage but Irsquom an adopted Italianrdquo
He describes the South Omaha of his youth as an ethnically diverse place where ldquoeveryone got alongrdquo but each proud population had their own churches groceries bakeries and bars Unfortunately this tradition of niche family businesses isnrsquot as prevalent as it once was
ldquoThis is all thatrsquos left of Little Italy besides Casciorsquos nowrdquo Hall muses ldquoThese places were the special gems of the cityrdquo
But the pendulum is always swinging
ldquoPeople are moving back down here now and itrsquos revitalizing the areardquo he says ldquoItrsquos a lot more vibrant againrdquo
Hall still works long hours along with Kathy who handles bookkeeping They suspect that many such businesses shutter when a familyrsquos sons and daughters arenrsquot keen on the grueling time commitment involved in many small businesses
ldquoIf therersquos no one in the next generation to take it overrdquo he notes ldquoa lot of them have faded onrdquo
Hall says it may not be his kids but perhaps one of the next generation of neighborhood kidsmdashjust like he once wasmdashwho pick up the Orsirsquos baton when the time comes
But not just yet Itrsquos Orsirsquos 95th year in business and Hall says he will see it to the century mark and beyond
ldquoI was always part of the familyrdquo he adds ldquoand I want to keep goingrdquo I know our customers and like making them happy And having new people discover us Once they taste theyrsquoll be backrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I

E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

Mary Clare SweetT H E U LT I M AT E Y O G I
by Jillian Humphries photography by Bill Sitzmann
E N C O U N T E R 36
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

THE 8 AM hour may be a time when most are driving to work still half asleep yearning for a morning cup of Joe But not Mary Clare Sweet All smiles and energy she welcomes
her fellow yogis to Lotus House of Yoga Each new arrival receives a hug or squeal of excitement attached to their name (usually both) as they walk through the door
According to Sweet eye contact and great big hugs are the most important yoga pose you will ever do
Bare feet begin to march their way into the studio and mats appear on the hardwood floors Heat radiates through the air as Sweet takes a moment to adjust the lights and turn on the tunes before taking her place at the front of the room
ldquoSo where is it that you need just a little more determination todayrdquo Sweet asks walking through the maze of bodies twisted every which way It is readily evident that determination is something she knows quite well
Sweet began her own yoga journey as a little girl as taught by her mother Anne Sweet After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she moved to New York where she met yoga teachers that inspired her to want to devote her efforts to the practice and its way of life Homesick she moved back to Nebraska settling in Omaha where she taught at Nebraska Dance for five years before opening Lotus House of Yoga
The studio just celebrated its fourth anniversary and boasts three locations in the Omaha area one of which is nestled in Midtown Crossing A fourth studio recently opened in Lincoln
ldquoYoga has given me a sense of truly expanded consciousnessrdquo said Sweet ldquoWhatever my wildest dreams are I have no fear in pursuing them Yoga
helps you be who you really are and you get excited about presenting that to the worldrdquo
It is clear that Sweet is doing just that as she shares a passion for love both inside and outside the studio After being asked to officiate a friendrsquos wedding several years ago she has gone on to perform several ceremonies Two more are scheduled for later this year
ldquoI practice love and love in every capacityrdquo adds Sweet ldquoItrsquos very easy for me to talk about love and to write about love Officiating at weddings she says is ldquoa really wonderful way for people to have a nontraditional ceremony but also keep it in line with their spiritual beliefs and have some sense of universal spirituality in their ceremonyrdquo
Itrsquos no wonder that Sweet has Omahans getting up at the crack of dawn to make it to her studios Love and compassion appear to envelope her like a cloud wherever she goes and itrsquos felt by all that enter her doors
ldquoI come back because of how personal they make itrdquo said Summer Froehoich a nurse at Methodist Hospital ldquoI developed relationships instantly with the teachers and other yogis Irsquove gained a real friendship base [and lots of warm hugs] through Lotusrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

Kirstin Kluver H A S S H E P E R F O R M E D
H E R L A S T R O L E I N O M A H A by David Williams
photography by Bill Sitzmann
ONE OF THE Old Marketrsquos most familiar faces is now about to becomehellipwell less familiar
Kirstin Kluver who played the bouncily vivacious ldquoroll in ze hayrdquo Inga in the just-closed Omaha Community Playhouse production of Young Frankenstein is packing her bags for the brighter lights of Los Angeles
ldquoIrsquom learning that I canrsquot stay in one place if I want to survive as an actressrdquo says the talent who currently has an agent in both Omaha and Kansas City and has worked extensively throughout the Midwest ldquoYou have to hustle in this businessmdashand I really like that part of my liferdquo
Kluver is more than just a familiar face of the footlights where she has been for much of the past decade something of the reigning vamp-a-liscious ldquoit girlrdquo of the local stage Shersquos also a regular on the cobblestones of Howard Street where she has operated a massage practice out of the Om Center The striking beauty known by her trademark red-redder-reddest hair and crystalline blue eyes has also worked in short films television and print
Still canrsquot place her Think back to that memorable Nebraska Lottery TV spot set in a convenience store where Kluverrsquos razor-sharp bangs where so prominently featured
ldquoI want to take my career to the next levelrdquo says the longtime crowd favorite who hit the trifecta by sweeping the local acting awardsmdash Theatre Arts Guild Awards Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards Omaha Community Playhouse Awardsmdashfor her work as the ditzy Adelaide in the 2011 Omaha Community Playhouse production of
E N C O U N T E R 38
O M A H A M A G A Z I N E C O M
Guys and Dolls Kluverrsquos other notable roles have included Roxie in Chicago (2012 Omaha Community Playhouse Mary Peckham Award) Louise in Gypsy (2009 Omaha Community Playhouse Barbara Ford Award) and Angel in Angels in America Part II (2008 Theatre Arts Guild Award)
ldquoItrsquos so very flattering when someone stops me on the street and says lsquoI saw you in this or that role years ago and your performance still resonates with mersquordquo she says in describing her favorite type of compliment
ldquoThe idea that I can be a professional actress and make it in Omaha Nebraska is greatbut now itrsquos time to take the opportunities and experiences that the city has given me and see how that translates in the bigger market of LA againrdquo
Again
Kluver tested the waters in Hollywood after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in acting but returned in 2007
ldquoOmaha has a wonderful creative community and the collaborations Irsquove done here are amazing This city is a great incubator for talent Irsquom not sure Irsquoll ever let go of my massage career because that is also very important to merdquo she continues ldquobut now itrsquos time to reverse roles a little bit Itrsquos time to be an actor who also happens to be a massage therapist instead of the other way aroundrdquo Encounter

down stereotypes and generate understand-
ing of one another on a more human level It
is common to feel type-casted at times and
each person holds their own typecasts or
biases of others Typecast | Recast offers
each attendee the opportunity to recognize
and examine typecasts perceptions and
personal biases and through art to consider
a world free of them Free 402-333-1303
