3 people killed after small plane crashes into Nebraska river
A small plane crashed into a river in Nebraska on Friday, killing all three people aboard, according to the Dodge County Sheriff's Office. The aircraft was flying along the Platte River just south of Fremont, Nebraska, when it went down around 8:15 p.m., authorities said. The sheriff's office identified the victims as 43-year-old Daniel Williams of Moundridge, Kansas, 50-year-old Jeff Bittinger and 48-year-old Randy Amrein, both of Fremont, Nebraska. Officials didn't know where the plane originated, Sergeant Brie Frank with the Dodge County Sheriff's Office told reporters in a briefing Friday night. After the plane went down, nearby residents assisted authorities in their rescue and recovery efforts with airboats, the sheriff's office said. It's unclear what caused the aircraft to go down, and an investigation is ongoing. The Dodge County Sheriff's Office said investigators with the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will take over the investigation.

Finding the free stuff at SXSW
You don't need a badge or wristband to experience the fun of South by Southwest March 7-15. Yes, but: Keeping up can be overwhelming. Here's a quick guide to the best free shows, parties and beyond. Head to SXSW's official free events SXSW officials recently announced a number of official free events, including concerts and a gig poster art exhibition March 11-13. You can find a lineup of free concerts at Auditorium Shores on Sunday from 3-7pm, with local artists like Sir Woman, Geto Gala and Pedal Steel Noah. Radio outlets from across the country and a collective of NPR music stations have curated a free lineup of musicians to enjoy March 10-15, 12-5pm each day in Brush Square Park. Find brand activations Brands spend a lot of money to take over Rainey Street businesses and other venues around downtown. The so-called activations — like this year's Prime Video pop-up at Hotel San José, and FX's "Alien: Earth" experience — often include free music, food, drinks and other giveaways. Pro tip: Stop by early. These spots get pretty busy, especially in the evenings, and organizers often prioritize badges and wristbands when they're at capacity. Stop by local venues and businesses Plenty of local hotels, bars and music venues are hosting their own unofficial SXSW events. Check social media and event pages, but here are some to get you started: Cosmic Saltillo: The East Austin coffee shop and cocktail bar is hosting a free showcase with music and a wellness market March 14-16. Plus, there's free yoga on the rooftop 9-10am each morning. Hotel San José: The hotel's "South by San José" remains one of the most popular recurring free events each year. Enjoy music and shop from local vendors in the parking lot of the hotel and Jo's Coffee, March 12-16. Yeti: Yeti's annual music showcase is back at its South Congress store 12-6pm, March 15-17. Scholz Garten: KUTX's live morning broadcast from Scholz Garten returns to SXSW March 12-15 at 8am to noon each day. A $10 entry donation goes to the Central Texas Food Bank. KUTX will also host a free showcase at Lefty's Brick Bar on March 12 at 7pm. The Peach House: Lululemon's resale shop, Like New, will take over Pilates studio The Peach House for free workout classes March 8-9 and a community run on March 9. Still Austin Whiskey: BMI's annual "Howdy Texas" party will be held at Still Whiskey, with free performances from nine Texas-based artists from March 11-14. The bottom line: Check social media, assume you should RSVP and be prepared to pivot. SXSW is all about going with the flow and knowing when it's time to ditch that long line to find something better.

Club Passim aims to open some doors
Yet the subject of race largely didn't come up between the two of them. Advertisement '[Moock] says he didn't feel that he had the language to take on those topics in those years,' Harris explains. 'We knew each other for 20 years, and enjoyed knowing each other, and yet that vast reservoir of powerful topics went unchecked in our relationship.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up That would change around 2020, when Moock initiated the kinds of conversations they had never previously shared. Moock's conversations with Harris would lead to him co-founding the This Saturday, that mission comes to Passim for The afternoon's performers are accustomed to fostering these kinds of conversations. Advertisement Topics of barriers and biases aren't new to Passim, either. The club launched the 'Music is a lubricant, [it] tends to loosen people up, help bring gates down,' Moock notes. 'We use the music to tell our personal stories, to talk about our political feelings — the way we're processing the world individually.' Harris sees those lived experiences as a strength when discussing and dismantling social barriers. Growing up in Philadelphia the 1950s and 1960s, the artist was raised in a community that was focused on integration and cementing voting rights; he would go on to be mentored by artist-activists like Pete Seeger and Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon. Moock, on the other hand, has used his prominence in the world of children's music to amplify Black artists within the genre. Following his nomination for 'Best Children's Album' at the 56th Grammy Awards, he would go on to co-found the anti-racist organization Through the Opening Doors Project, the two artists merge their similar but distinct areas of expertise. On Saturday at Passim, the varied experiences of the audience and performers will expand the project's work and mission even further. 'There's so much to work on, and there's so many places where we get distracted,' Harris concludes. 'Our ability to stand and work together and listen to each other — and observe what each other brings to the table — also helps each of us to heal in a different way, and move forward in a world that is constantly evolving.'
