"Heaven Can Wait" Kicks Off Lofte's 34th Season
Manley, NE [May 6, 2010]-The Lofte Community Theatre will begin its 34th season with Harry Segall's classic, "Heaven Can Wait." It is the story of a loveable prize-fighter, Joe Pendleton whom is snatched into the afterlife before his time. In an effort to rectify the situation, his guardian angel returns Joe to earth in the body of an elderly millionaire. "Heaven Can Wait" has all of the ingredients of a lighthearted comedy while also asking important questions about life and true love.
The original stage play "Heaven Can Wait" has been made into several movie versions over the years. The most well-known was the 1978 film starring Warren Beatty and Julie Christie. The original movie, 1941's "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" received two Academy Awards for Original Story and Best Screenplay.
Directed by Kevin Colbert, the production stars Jamion Biesterfeld of Louisville in the starring role of Joe Pendleton. His well-meaning heavenly guide is played by Bob Pinkerton of Weeping Water. Other cast members include Theresa Massoth and Mark Sievering of Murray; Mark Sheldon, Tim Sorensen and Jeff Johnston of Elmwood; Anna and Levi Stroebel and Silvia Conley of Omaha; Melinda Mead and David Willingham of Plattsmouth and Hope and Dave Hibler of Manley.
The production runs May 28-30, June 4-6 and 10-13. Tickets are $16 and can be purchased by calling the Lofte Box Office at (402) 234-2553 or online at www.Lofte.com. Please note that season tickets for all five of the Lofte's stage productions can still be purchased for $60 through June 13.

Mumford Awarded Lofte Scholarship
Manley, NE [May 12, 2010]- The Lofte Community Theatre is proud to announce that its 2010 Scholarship for graduating seniors has been awarded to Ross Mumford of Elmwood. His parents are Cindy and Tony Mumford.
Mr. Mumford is not only a Lofte volunteer, but has an excellent record for his high school extracurricular activities as well. He's active in speech, choir, Spanish Club and the Elmwood-Murdock FBLA. During his academic career, Mumford has been a three-year All-State member, a two-year National FBLA competitor and received the Nebraska Young Artist Award. His future plans include attending Nebraska Wesleyan and majoring in music education.
Mumford debuted on the Lofte stage at the tender age of 11. He was cast in his first play, "Damn Yankees" in 2003 and got to utter the memorable line, "Say it ain't so, Joe!" He's also starred in "Laughing Stock," last year's musical, "Crazy For You," and many others. What keeps Ross coming back to the Lofte year after year? "The people and the positive experience that the Lofte continually supplies. The Lofte has also helped me improve my singing, acting and overall performance skills. I'm also lucky to have made so many good friends and special memories during my time here."
The Lofte extends its most heartfelt congratulations to Ross and his pursuit of higher education. Lofte President, Anne Pope said, "Ross' selfless dedication to the Lofte and outstanding academic performance were just two of the reasons that he was chosen to receive the 2010 Lofte Scholarship. While we all hope that he continues to grace our stage with his contagious smile and quick wit, and we also wish him the best of luck on a brilliant future.,"

For all the people who continued to follow our quest for the top spot in the Animal Rescue Site/Pet Finder Shelter Challenge. THANK YOU for voting for the Plattsmouth Animal Shelter every day. The contest has ended but we were at #14 in the State of Nebraska (last time I checked) so we may have finished higher.We didn't win anything this time but it was fantastic that we had so many people voting and rooting for us! The challenges run for 14 weeks. Here's the really good news ............. The NEW shelter challenge begins on Monday, May 17, 2010 and will continue through Sunday, August 22, 2010. Many grants will be awarded over 14 weeks and we're hoping you'll help us win some of them. Please, will you tell all your relatives, friends, co-workers,email buddies from anywhere and maybe even strangers on the street? Here are the very detailed and easy to follow instructions. By the way - it's an awesome web site with a great online store!
Please - go to: http://www.amimalrescuesite.com/ and click on the button on the right "Click Here To Give - It's Free" - at this point you are giving free food to animals at many shelters. Now you'll get a message "Thank you your click has been counted!" On the top of the screen - "Help your favorite animal shelter win a prize!" Click the "Vote Today" Button The first time you vote you will need to enter all the information - Shelter name: Plattsmouth Animal Shelter Country: USA State: Nebraska City: Plattsmouth Click on "search" It will locate the shelter and display the name and location - when it does click "VOTE" One more step ...... Confirm your vote (name the animal) and you're done. After you do this the first time, you can save it in your favorites (it will retain all the shelter info) and the voting is much quicker the next time! IMPORTANT: Please remember to vote every day and help us gain on the leaders - thanks!
The other fund raiser (also a type of contest) involves "Pet Enthusiast" Magazine. Happy Paws is selling subscriptions to the magazine and for every paid subscription we will get a portion which will help us support the shelter by providing for all the daily needs of our shelter pets. It also offers the financial support for Vet care for sick or injured pets and without it the shelter would not survive. Every single donation is very important to Happy Paws and the shelter. Without the support of many concerned citizens, the shelter would be "out of business" and the animals would go to the Nebraska Humane Society, where depending on their space availability,the animals future could end in euthanasia. Here's the information: We are offering subscriptions to this magazine for $24.99 a year. Of that $24.99, we will get $5.00. It will add up! It really is a great magazine! Ordering is simple, you can go to their web site at http://www.pe-magazine.com/ and then click on the banner at the top that says "Subscription Fundraiser" - it's fast and easy to do. Be sure to click on the down arrow to highlight Plattsmouth Animal Shelter when ordering so we get credit for your order. Thank you for your support.

The web site is http://www.plattsmouthanimalshelter.com/ - check out everything on the shelter and then click on the green "Happy Paws" tab - read about us and make a donation if you wish.
Old Fashioned Father's Day in the Park
On Sunday, June 20th, the Plattsmouth Main Street Association is sponsoring an "Old Fashioned Father's Day in the Park" at Rhylander park in Plattsmouth. As you can see from the attached flyer, the featured event will be an old-time base ball game. As a result we are recruiting players for our local team, "The Cass County Railroad Ruffians" and we invite you to choose a member of your organization as your representative on the team.
This will be a game of light-hearted fun and friendly competition. The rules of 1860 are a much less strenuous game than modern baseball and 9 innings will last less than 2 hours. In fact, the pitcher throws underhand and is encouraged to throw the ball where the batter requests it to be thrown. Also, it is an "out" if the ball is caught without having touched the ground OR after one bounce. So, as you can see, this game will move along quite quickly. I have seen the Wichita team play. They play for fun and love to "razz" each other and the opposing team. They told me that they win about 50% of their games.
This will require no financial contribution on the part of your organization. Our only hope is that you will bring your families out to enjoy the day and share in the fun and relaxation of a simpler era.
Please let us know by May 27th if you do or do not have have someone who is interested in playing on the Cass County Railroad Ruffians base ball team for this event.
Sincerely,
Jan Sandoz, Day in the Park Event Coordinator
