Children's Theater Event at Lofte a Success
The Missoula Children's Theater residency at the Lofte Community Theatre last week was a resounding success. In all, 110 children auditioned for the play. This is a new record for area children wanting to take part in the week-long theater event. After auditions, 58 children were cast to present the classic tale, "Hansel & Gretel."
Starring in the title roles were Dawson Hogue of Murray (playing Hansel) and Madeline Schmit of Lincoln (playing Gretel). The Wildwood Witch was played by Carson Santee of Plattsmouth. Other children participating in the play are listed below by their town of residence.
The Lofte thanks Home State Bank and Plattsmouth State Bank for their continued sponsorship of this marvelous event. Missoula Children's Theater is a non-profit organization based out of Missoula, Montana which works to help the development of life skills for children through the participation of the performing arts.
Dalton Wheeler, above, of Alvo took great pride in his performance as a "Nasty," during the Missoula Children's Theater week at the Lofte Theatre near Manley.

“We believe these injuries and deaths are preventable as too many result from a driver not seeing children who might be playing, running after or standing near their vehicle,” says Jane Husz, Safe Kids Sarpy/Cass coordinator. “What is truly tragic about these stories is that often, the drivers are friends or even family members.” Back-over deaths are the worst possible scenario. Many times they involve a parent running over their child.

Help Spark the American Red Cross
Blood Supply this Summer
While the Independence Day holiday will surely ignite many spectacular fireworks extravaganzas, the American Red Cross is counting on donors to spark the nation’s blood supply. The Red Cross reminds eligible donors that the need for blood is constant, especially during holiday timeframes – like Independence Day – when eligible donors have even less time in their busy schedules to give.
While all blood types are needed during the summer months, O negative, B negative and A negative blood types are currently in high demand because they potentially can be transfused to patients with Rh positive or Rh negative blood types. Type O negative, the universal blood type, can potentially be transfused to patients with any blood type.
The American Red Cross encourages all eligible donors to donate blood regularly this summer to ensure an adequate blood supply for patients in need.
The American Red Cross’ Live Life. Give Life. summer-long campaign is helping to raise awareness aboutthe constant need for blood and encourage regular donations. Presenting donors between May 21 and September 5, 2012 will be entered automatically into the Live Life. Give Life. promotion for a chance to win prize packages from GiftCertificates.com. And, from June 29 to July 8, presenting donors will be entered to win additional prize certificates to thank them for giving blood around the Independence Day holiday. Visit redcrossblood.org/GiveWin to learn more.
INDEPENDENCE DAY PROMOTION
As a special 'thank you' around the Independence Day holiday, presenting donors between June 29 and July 8, 2012, can register to win a prize certificate redeemable at GiftCertificates.com. Visit redcrossblood.org/GiveWin for details.
How to Donate Blood
Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
About the American Red Cross
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies more than 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Senator Nelson's E-Update |
2012 Farm Bill Sets New Course for American Agriculture |
|
Yesterday, my Senate colleagues on both sides of the aisle came together to pass the 2012 Farm Bill, setting a strong course for American agriculture and ushering in a new era for Nebraska farmers and ranchers. The bill's budget-minded reforms, and swapping of government subsidies for new crop insurance programs, will benefit Nebraska's more than 47,000 farms while strengthening the safety net for tough times. It will also bring stability and job security to tens of thousands of Nebraska agricultural workers, paving the way for job growth in our state's agriculture sector, while at the same time reducing the federal deficit by $23 billion. Also included in the bill are several amendments I authored that will give more security to rural communities and provide peace of mind to those Nebraskans who have been particularly hard-hit by this recession. My amendment on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Rural Development Loan will extend the current grandfather clause to allow many Nebraska cities such as Columbus and Norfolk to remain eligible for USDA Rural Development Housing Loans. Additionally, my amendment on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will create more accountability by requiring states to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and program integrity of SNAP. I'm proud of what was accomplished by the Senate, not only for Nebraska, but for the future of American agriculture. I'm hopeful the House will act quickly, too, because Congress should approve a new Farm Bill that's good for farmers and taxpayers this year.
