Louisville defensive tackle Colt Johannsen broke through the offensive line to block the Conestoga extra point attempt, preserving an LHS lead and a 27-26 victory over the visiting Cougars in a game that saw two entirely different halves for the Lions.
LHS jumped out to a 27-0 lead in the first 15 minutes of play. The Lions, after going three-and-out on their first possession, scored on four consecutive possessions, the first on a 70 yard punt return by Sterling Reeves. >> Read More
=======================================
WHO I AM: My name is Margaret Minchow, and I am running for re-election to the Louisville Board of Education.
CURRENT: I live in Cedar Creek, Nebraska, and have lived here 17 years. My husband of 24 years is Matt Minchow, and we have three children: Noel – who lives in Omaha and is a junior at UNO. Nathan is a sophomore at Louisville High School, and Olivia is a 7th grader at Louisville Middle School.
PAST: I was born in Jacksonville, Florida, but spent most of my childhood in Columbus, Nebraska. My father was in the United States Navy, and met my mother while stationed in Naples, Italy. They married and moved to the United States. She was 36 years old, and he was 22. I am the 5th of 6 children. After graduating from Columbus Scotus High School in 1982, I attended the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, which is where I met my husband. I worked at various jobs while in school, and ended up at First National Bank of Omaha where I worked in the Human Resources Department. I worked in Employment Services and later in Payroll. I retired from the “work” force when we started a family, and have been a “stay at home” mother ever since.
WHAT I BELIEVE: People ask me - “What are your objectives?” and “Why do you want to be on the school board?”A clear voice – one that represents every aspect of our school and its students. Meaningful results involve the entire board, not just one member. We all must work together and arrive at conclusions that serve our student body as it was meant to. Academics – the most important direction of our school, needs to be consistently brought to the forefront of any issues. Activities – these are the backbone – are we serving our student body to the fullest extent that our school is capable of ? These are questions I ask myself regularly. Then of course, we have extra-curricular, which includes athletics – are our attentions fairly distributed? We all hear the old saying - “...nobody ever said life is fair...”. At school, and being on the board, this is one place where I can do my best to get there. And I have. And I will continue to do so.
Fiscal accountability: go to www.lpslions.org. Then on the left click on Board of Education and then on Budget Items. This is a summary of our 2012-2013 budget.
THE FUTURE: I am hoping to be re-elected to our school board for another 4 year term. I feel this is an ideal time-frame, to see implementation and fruition of goals set forth by our current board. Success is a never-ending effort, but it is attainable and in many ways is currently being enjoyed by our students. The challenges are not over, and of course, never will be. We must continue to work toward those goals – which include safety procedures, the continued application of up-to-date technology, and student achievement. These are required in order to produce a successful student body, reach our goals, and continue to build our community. Genuine words and actions – this is critical for a capable and productive school board.

I sincerely thank you for your time. I truly do appreciate it!

Auditions for "Leon's" at Lofte Community Theatre
Manley, NE [October 10, 2012] - One of the Lofte's most-loved shows is coming back for Christmas. The original script and score of "Christmas at Leon's" was written by Lincoln radio personality Mick Kovar and Lofte Theatre Artistic Director Kevin Colbert. Originally staged in 2010, the world premiere of "Christmas at Leon's," met with thunderous applause and huge audiences for the entire run.
The opening scenes of "Leon's" find a bus full of holiday travelers whom are stranded in a blizzard at a strange cafe in the middle of Nebraska. Each character is struggling with their own personal issues, but with some angelic help, soon all find the true meaning of Christmas. "Leon's" has touching songs and an honest midwestern feel so often missing from modern scripts.
This is an open audition for all roles. Artistic Director Kevin Colbert encourages everyone who is interested in this production to please come to auditions on Monday, October 22 or Tuesday, October 23 at 7pm. Please bring a short, prepared song of no more than one minute in length. The rest of the audition will consist of cold readings from the script.
Rehearsals will begin in November and production dates are December 1, 2, 6-9 & 13-16. Those with questions should contact Kevin Colbert at LofteDirector@Lofte.com or call 402.234.2553 .
