  "Uh-oh, Here Comes Christmas."
 

Auditions at the Lofte Community Theatre

October 8, 2009, Manley, NE --The Lofte Community Theatre near Manley announces that it will be holding open auditions for their holiday production, "Uh-oh, Here Comes Christmas." Auditions will be held at the theater on Monday, October 19 and Tuesday, October 20 at 7PM, and will consist of cold readings from the script. The production will be directed by Kevin Colbert.

Several holiday stories from Robert Fulghum, best-selling author of "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" have been crafted into an engaging evening of storytelling and song. This takes a poignant look at the struggle to find the spirit of the holidays amid the glut of commercialism that crashes down every December. Parts are available for 3 men and 2 women of various ages. A pianist is also needed for the production as it does contain some musical selections.

Performance dates are December 4-6, 11-13 and 17-20. Questions may be addressed to Director Kevin Colbert by calling the theater, (402) 234-2553 or by sending an email to LofteDirector@Lofte.com LofteDirector@Lofte.com This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The Lofte Community Theatre is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization supported in part by The Cooper Foundation, The Midlands Community Foundation, and the Cass County Visitors Promotion Committee. The Lofte Community Theatre is dedicated to providing opportunities for area residents of all ages to participate in the creation process and companionship of live theatre in rural Nebraska and to enjoy the social, artistic, and educational benefits of this art form.

Homeless Schnoodle
  schnoodle.jpg
Hello NCWP Community Editors,
 
My name is Jan Young and I live in Plattsmouth. I really need your help! I was provided your email addresses by Pat Zeigler , the lady who does the Murray Community newsletter online. I hope that you too can help with this. Thank you!
 
I am a member of Happy Paws which is a group established in February 2009 (Animal Advocacy for the Plattsmouth Animal Shelter). We are all volunteers, the group is completely non profit (so it's not funded by anyone and donations go straight to the shelter for the animals and they are tax deductable) and we are doing fund raisers from time to time to raise money for the needs of the animals. If we can notify you in advance would you be able to publish any events we host? It would be a tremendous help and I (we all) would be so grateful. As a very small shelter in a smaller community we don't get much notice or publicity about good things.
 
I don't know if you'll remember or if you were even aware of it but on May 29, 2009, 35 animals were removed from a very unhealthy living situation for the humans and animals alike. All of them were taken to the Plattsmouth Animal Shelter and all that could be placed for adoption were and with the exception of one little dog, they have all been successfully adopted! For most people the story (and the interest) ended there but not for Baby Lynn. Sue Baker (Animal Control Officer) and I, as well as many others are very concerned that she's been long since forgotten. We're not as big as the Nebraska Humane Society and don't have a publicity department nor do we have the resources they do but we need Baby Lynn to get her "five minutes of fame"!
 
Can you help and "yes or no" would you please email me back?
 
The following is the short story that I wrote but if you need more information, you can contact me at youngtjl@aol.com or 402-296-2651. Better yet, contact Sue Baker at sbaker@plattsmouth.org or 402-298-8235 or 402-306-8701.
 
                                               Thanks, Jan Young
 
This is Baby Lynn. She is a Schnoodle (Schnauzer Terrier & Poodle mix) who is between seven and eight years old.
She is desperately needing a loving person (or people) and a happy forever home. She's had a really sad and lonely existence for the last four months. She was removed from a home in Plattsmouth that housed way too many pets (35 total - 30 of them cats and kittens) on May 29, 2009. She has lived at the Plattsmouth Animal Shelter ever since and all her housemates have since been adopted - she's the only one left! She is very lonely and cries when put back in her kennel. She is well taken care of and loved but nevertheless, left all alone for those long nights at the shelter. She is loved by all but somehow, still homeless!
She's a delicate, little girl who loves to be cuddled. While she has gotten along with some of the other shelter residents, she would really prefer to be your one and only. She has had some minor issues with some of the younger and feistier dogs and puppies - understandable as she is an older, laid back girl. Although she gets along fine with humans, younger children might be too rough for her. If you would like to be a "one dog family", she'd be the "one dog" for you! She's ideal - instant love and devotion without all the work of potty and puppy training!
She is VERY SAD to be alone at the shelter and you could be the one to make the rest of her life perfect!

From the Editor
Best Christmas Ever!
Life Gives Gifts in Strange Packages
 

  Scarecrows are Up! 

 Turkeys are Getting Fat

This "New Normal" world that  has decided to include

Louisville is a bit of pill to swallow.

I guess the new fashion trends all include a healthy dose of nostalgia and old fashioned family comfort.

It is tough to identify stuff that is not in the process of changing long enough to lasoo a tether and hang on. I guess it is going to get more interesting before this year is done.

For me, it takes a hand grenade to change my behavior. I like my routine and I do not like change, unless I have no choice.

Seems those hand grenades have been happening a lot lately!

 What I have noticed (grudgingly) even after change the sun still comes up. Friends are still there and in fact they are even friendlier.

Friendship is becoming more valuable. Nice!

  I think that folks have been dealing with such hand grenades for a long, long time and the only really remarkable thing, is that we have been pretty much hand grenade free for about 40 years and that makes them look kinda strange.

I have started to embrace a slightly slower pace, I have started to appreciate simple things, I am starting to look forward to a simpler and fuller Holiday Season with a lot more emphasis on real stuff!

 I am developing a happier outlook, based on less goodies, more folks and traditions and a greater appreciation for the things that really matter.

That sounds like an old movie script, but turns out that is the real deal.  

Enjoy Each Day, and Don't take anything for Granted!
