"Heaven Can Wait" Kicks Off Lofte's 34th Season
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.

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

Dear Louisvillians,
I’m sure many of you had the opportunity to observe Memorial Day over the long, beautiful weekend. What an appropriate time to recognize the efforts and lives of our American soldiers, both past and present. Perhaps you also seized a few moments to spend at a cemetery near a loved one’s graveside or think about those who have passed before us. You might have even attended a Memorial Service or flown your flag proudly in the slight breeze. As I walked around the cemetery where my loved ones are buried, I was lost deep in thought as I considered the rich history that existed before my time…names and dates etched in stones decorated with flowers, wreaths and beautiful red, white and blue flags. I scratched out a few of my own thoughts, but, to be frank, nothing is quite ready for publication. Instead, I turned to the words of Howard Schnauber who wrote this beautiful poem entitled “I AM THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” Read and relish the rich words, so powerful and poignant…Happy Memorial Day, everyone.
I AM THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
By Howard Schnauber
I am the flag of the United States of America.
My name is "Old Glory".
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.
I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.
I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
I am arrogant.
I am proud.
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
My head is a little higher,
My colors a little truer.
I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped -- I am saluted.
I am loved -- I am revered.
I am respected -- and I am feared.
I have fought in every battle of every war
for more then 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg,
Shiloh and Appomattox.
I was there at San Juan Hill,
the trenches of France,
in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome
and the beaches of Normandy, Guam,
Okinawa, Korea, and Vietnam.
I was there. I led my troops.
I was dirty, battle-weary and tired,
but my soldiers cheered me
And I was proud.
I have been burned, torn and trampled
on the streets of countries I have helped set free.
It does not hurt, for I am invincible.
I have been soiled upon, burned, torn
and trampled on the streets of my country.
And when it's by those whom I've served in battle -- it hurts.
But I shall overcome -- for I am strong.
I have slipped the bonds of Earth
and stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space
from my vantage point on the moon.
I have borne silent witness
to all of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.
When I am torn into strips
and used as bandages
for my wounded comrades on the battlefield,
When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier,
Or when I lie in the trembling arms
of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter,
I am proud.
MY NAME IS "OLD GLORY".
LONG MAY I WAVE.
DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN,
LONG MAY I WAVE.
Your Louisville Editor,
Paula
