Lofte Community Theatre Volunteer Recognition
Manley, NE [February 9, 2010]- Each February the Lofte Community Theatre takes a deep breath before the start of its new season. An evening is set aside to salute its volunteers and honor them with food and gifts. This year, the Volunteer Recognition and Annual Meeting is set for Saturday, February 27th at 6pm. The Dale Crosby Awards will be given to three of the Lofte's most outstanding volunteers. The award is named in honor of long-time Lofte President and friend, Dale Crosby of Weeping Water whom we lost in 2001. Mr. Crosby was a man who never found any job too small or unimportant. His dedication and hard work inspired many and he is still sorely missed. In conjunction with the Volunteer Recognition activities, the Lofte Board of Directors will conduct a short business meeting to inform the public of its financial standing and plans for the future. Artistic Director, Kevin Colbert will review the 2009 season highlighting his favorite performances and fondest memories. He will also announce his show selections for the 2011 season. All members of the Lofte Community Theatre are invited to attend. Membership is earned if you have ever purchased a ticket, volunteered your time, donated funds or performed on stage. Basically, if you've ever been to the Lofte or helped in any way, you're invited! The evening is your chance to relax, catch-up with old friends and enjoy some delicious food. Please RSVP for this event by calling the box office at (402) 234-2553 or emailing Jean Colbert at LofteTickets@Lofte.com PIctured Below: Lynn Plucknett and Nikki Biesterfeld of Louisville are just two of the many volunteers that it takes to make the Lofte a success.

MAKING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE February 5, 2010, Lincoln -In 2007 I introduced LB 425 to adopt the Nebraska Operational Assistance Act (Act). The bill proposed to maintain an economic development program that began in 2002 and was renewed in 2005. LB 425 appropriated funds to the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED). DED then awarded the funds to a private, nonprofit organization to operate the program. The Act required the nonprofit organization to provide technical assistance to individuals and companies that lack the components to achieve their growth potential. The individuals and companies were then to be matched with people who were willing and able to make investments, in order to potentially realize profits in the future. The provisions of the Act, and the state funds that supported it, were expected to sustain the existing groundwork, from which new ideas could be launched to create high-paying jobs, import dollars to our state and expand our tax base.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CONNECTING YOUNG NEBRASKANS
CYN was established because
we want to help you enjoy
Connecting Young Nebraskans, (CYN) is
a social network of young Nebraskans who have joined together to discuss
and take action to promote change in Nebraska. In past years, it seems
that the voice of young Nebraskans has been missing on many important issues.
In an effort to address this, the University of Nebraska Rural Initiative
would like to encourage and support the formation and ongoing operation
of a 'Young Nebraskans' group. This group will belong to its members so
it's up to you to help shape it into something you want to be a part of.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Did you know... FEBRUARY is 4-H Month! "I pledge my head to clearer thinking. My heart to great loyalty. My hands to larger service. And my health to better living. For my club, my community, my country and my world."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dear Louisvillians, I don't know about the rest of you, but I have been completely soaking up the events that are being showcased to us from Vancouver, Canada during the Winter Olympics. I have been mesmerized by the ice skaters, dancers, the snowboarders and skiiers! The athletic abilities of these fine competitors and the ambition and perseverance they have displayed is amazing to watch, to put it mildly. If you haven't had a chance to watch any of the Olympics, be sure to check it out. You won't be disappointed. In thinking about the Olympics, which is a global event, encompassing many nations, as was showcased at the Opening Ceremonies, I started thinking about the Olympics on a more local level. I think it's only appropriate to mention (and brag a bit) that the United States has the highest medal count (as of this writing) with 25 total medals. We have received 7 golds, 8 silvers and 10 bronze medals. Wow! Impressive stats! But, do you know what's equally impressive? Our little community of Louisville. I think there are some worthy recipients of the gold, silver and bronze here in our own community. Though there are many people who should and could be recognized, I opted to focus on the WINTER aspect since we're currently watching the Winter Olympics.
GOLD: Those fine men (and women??) who make sure our streets are plowed and that the snow is off of our streets of Louisville receive the GOLD medal. I don't know about the rest of you, but I have been in other small towns, where the snow removal is not half as good as it is here! Kudos to these people who operate according to the weather's crazy patterns, not a normal 9-5 shift. Thank you for your time, energy and efforts. Hopefully, your job is almost finished??! Thank you for all you do! We appreciate it.
SILVER: The silver medal should be awarded to those fine volunteers who offer to remove snow from other people's sidewalks without any monetary compensation. I know of many students and adults who offer their time and their strong backs to shovel other peoples' sidewalks, driveways and decks for nothing more than a smile. In fact, some of my own neighbor boys did this for me when I first moved to Louisville. I still remember that token of kindness and will not soon forget it. Thank you, volunteers, for helping those in need. The silver is rightly awarded to you.
BRONZE: To anyone who enjoys the snow, has built a snowman, has crafted a snowangel, who has constructed a snowfort, who has formed the most perfectly spherical snowball...the bronze goes to you! You have successfully enjoyed winter and the frigid temperatures and the mounds of white on the ground...and made the BEST of it. Winter is the perfect season for all of these activities, and if you're still hoping to receive the bronze, feel free to head outside and take advantage of the winter whiteness that is still on the ground. As of this writing, it's still there (in case you didn't notice!).
There you have it, folks. The winners of the Louisville Olympian Winter Olympics...it's been a marathon, not a sprint this winter, wouldn't you agree? Thank these people the next time you see them. All of these people really make Louisville a wonderful place to live. Happy Winter to all of you! Your Louisville Editor, Paula
