Stacey Dorr has been a hair stylist for 6 1/2 years. She lives right outside of Elmwood. (East on D Street also known as Adams, and then 1/4 mile south.) I went to her to get my hair colored. At first I wasn't sure about the color because it was a drastic change. But now I love it!! Stacey is really nice and does a great job. Stacey does cuts, color, highlights, perms, and waxing. She also has a tanning bed.

The Iris Garden is Open!
The Iris Patch is hosting its 13th annual open house. Dean and Judy Douglas moved to this 2 acre spot in 1972. At that time there were purple and yellow iris already planted. After a visit to the Schliefert’s Iris Garden in 1990 they planted their first tall bearded iris and thus began the Iris Patch.
They have replanted the Dykes last year and they appear to have made it through the winter. The blooms will be variable this year. Due to the heavy snow cover last winter followed by the warm days in April the blooms are about 10 days ahead of schedule. The garden is beautiful and each iris is labeled so you know what it is called in case you would like to order one.
Take time for a tour of the Iris Patch. It is worth the time. The iris are starting to bloom now and I plan to go back in another week or so to see even more.
Directions from Murdock:
Approximately 3 miles south of Murdock on Highway 1 – then 1 mile west on Fletcher Avenue. The Iris Patch is on the southwest corner. Just follow the signs!
WANTED: Someone to haul the Recycling Trailer to the next destination. The current driver is unavailable to do it and if we do not find a new driver we may lose the opportunity to have the Recycling Trailer in Murdock! Please call the Village Office if you can help!
Free Fiddling Workshop
Greenblatt & Seay, Master Artists with the Nebraska Arts Council, will be offering a free fiddling workshop on Saturday, May 29, from 10 AM to 12 Noon. This event will take place at the Homestead Education Center, at the Homestead National Monument of America. The National Monument is located 4 miles west of Beatrice on Nebraska Highway 4. During this fiddle workshop, Greenblatt & Seay will help fiddlers of all ages and abilities gain new skills and refine their current tunes.
Following the morning workshop, fiddlers are encouraged to linger, and participate in the afternoon Monumental Fiddling Championships. The one rule that makes this competition unique is that all songs must have been written before 1936, when Homestead National Monument of America was established.

“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.

Mumford Awarded Lofte Scholarship
The Lofte Community Theatre is proud to announce that its 2010 Scholarship for graduating seniors has been awarded to Ross Mumford of Elmwood. His parents are Cindy and Tony Mumford.
Mr. Mumford is not only a Lofte volunteer, but has an excellent record for his high school extracurricular activities as well. He's active in speech, choir, Spanish Club and the Elmwood-Murdock FBLA. During his academic career, Mumford has been a three-year All-State member, a two-year National FBLA competitor and received the Nebraska Young Artist Award. His future plans include attending Nebraska Wesleyan and majoring in music education.
Mumford debuted on the Lofte stage at the tender age of 11. He was cast in his first play, "Damn Yankees" in 2003 and got to utter the memorable line, "Say it ain't so, Joe!" He’s also starred in “Laughing Stock,” last year’s musical, “Crazy For You,” and many others. What keeps Ross coming back to the Lofte year after year? "The people and the positive experience that the Lofte continually supplies. The Lofte has also helped me improve my singing, acting and overall performance skills. I'm also lucky to have made so many good friends and special memories during my time here."
The Lofte extends its most heartfelt congratulations to Ross and his pursuit of higher education. Lofte President, Anne Pope said, “Ross’ selfless dedication to the Lofte and outstanding academic performance were just two of the reasons that he was chosen to receive the 2010 Lofte Scholarship. While we all hope that he continues to grace our stage with his contagious smile and quick wit, and we also wish him the best of luck on a brilliant future
