Mission Statement
Louisville 6/20 is a united non-profit organization dedicated to helping the 6 victims of the June 20, 2009 accident in South Bend, NE. This organization is committed to helping the victims and their families deal with the mounting financial and emotional burdens as a result of this tragic accident through local fundraisers, benefits and donations.
2010 Focus
Last year the money raised was split between all 6 victims. This year we have decided to individualize our goal with all funds being directed toward Margo Marino and her continued improvement both physically and emotionally. Next year we will reevaluate our goal based on the response and success of this year's events as well as the current needs of the families.

The Blackwood Brothers Quartet was formed in Mississippi in 1934 with brothers Roy, Doyle, James and Roy's son, R.W. The quartet move to Shenandoah in 1940 and were heard three times daily on KMA radio. Hilton Griswold joined the group as pianist and the group traveled across Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota during the 40s and many today still remember the quartet from those early radio days. The Blackwoods’ have always counted their days in Shenandoah and the friends they made back then as some of their greatest blessings. The quartet moved to Tennessee in 1950 and continues to travel around the world singing gospel music. All of the original brothers have passed away but James’ sons continue the 76-year heritage of what has become the best-known quartet in the history of gospel music. The group today consists of Jimmy and Billy Blackwood, first tenor Wayne Little and bass singer Randy Byrd, acclaimed the best tenor/bass combination in gospel music and Mike Hammontree at the piano. The result is one of the best quartets you will ever hear! We in Weeping Water and the surrounding area are always happy to host a return appearance by this world-renowned group. Make your plans to attend this great concert.

LOUISVILLE POWER DRIVE
END-OF-YEAR RESULTS
After a long up and down rally season, the Louisville Power Drive team has finished its 3rd rally season. This year brought many challenges and new ideas with the building of a new car, and it also brought with it continued success with the return of 48 car in its second year. The long, late hours spent designing and making modifications to the cars to get them ready for rallies was well worth it. The Louisville team competed in 5 of the 6 rallies this season and again represented Louisville by performing well.
The advanced class car 48, in its second year finished with three 1st place finishes and one 2nd place finish on the year. The team was also awarded best pit crew for their efforts in preparing the car for the rally and a smooth pit stop during the rally itself. A few senior members played a big part in making the 48 car a success the past two years, these seniors are: Sean Churchich, Cori Hall, DJ Hobbs and Pat McAndrew. The 48 car performed well at the state race finishing 4th after a few mechanical failures which took the car out of contention. The 48 car did finish on a high note by placing 1st in the vehicle documentation and receiving a Snap-On tool box as the award for their efforts.
The standard class car 45 started out well. Finishing 1st in the first two rallies, the car was off to a great start, but during the 3rd rally in Columbus on a rough track, a weld broke causing the car to hit a curb and roll. Extensive damage was done to the right side of the car and it took the team almost 3 weeks to make repairs to get the car ready for the final state rally. The 45 car performed well receiving good times during the braking and maneuverability contests and also ran well in the rally. Still a few minor mechanical problems from the rollover kept the 45 car from placing in the rally, but the combined effort brought home an overall finish of 3rd in the state.
Thank you again to all of our sponsors who have helped make Louisville Racing a success. As a team we have enjoyed the overwhelming support from the community and friends and hope to again have another successful year in 2011.

Hello Louisvillians!
I had the privilege to spend several days in the mountainous splendor of Colorado just recently. It was a beautiful escape, and the scenery was exquisite. Of course, while Nebraska was suffering under sweltering record-breaking temperatures, I was enjoying the cooler air and less humid weather of Colorado. It was quite nice, I have to admit.
But, if you're like me, by the time the end of the vacation approaches, I'm always more than ready to go home, anxious for the little things that make one feel at ease...the feel of your own pillow, your own view out the living room window, familiar streets and faces and all of the wonderful attributes of home.
It's true...I've started humming it already, though Husker football season isn't for a little while yet, I have that infamous song imprinted on my memory. How many of you are now humming, "There's No Place Like Nebraska" ? There's really no place like this place called Nebraska or Louisville, for that matter. I am always proud to be a Nebraskan, when I journey to other places. I have a genuine sense of pride when I tell people where I'm from, and I'm always anxious to return home to this great state. Visiting and traveling are amazing, but there's something about home that is difficult to pen into words.
How about you, Louisvillians? Where have you been this summer? Have you been proud to tell where you're from? Did you look forward to returning to your home? What is it about home that really makes it "home" to you? I wonder about your answers and thoughts to this, and I welcome your comments (via e-mail or in person) too. Until then, "there's no place like Nebraska...or Louisville!"
Have a wonderful week, Louisvillians!
Your Louisville News Editor,
Paula
