ELECTION DAY GUIDELINES

Secretary of State John Gale offered guidelines for Nebraska voters to prepare
for the Nov. 2 general election.

"Going to the polls in Nebraska is easy and convenient," Gale said. "But there are some simple steps you can take to make sure your voting experience goes smoothly."

Gale offered the following guidelines for Election Day:

--Check your voter registration and polling place. People can check the status of their voter registration and location of their polling place by contacting their county election office or accessing https://www.votercheck.necvr.ne.gov/.

--Change of address. If a registered voter has moved within a county (out of their former precinct) and not updated their registration, the person should go to the polling place associated with their current residence. The person will be required to vote a provisional ballot.

--Be prepared. Before going to the polls, the voter should become informed about the candidates and issues on the ballot. Sample ballots are printed in newspapers and posted on county websites. Mark and take the sample ballot with you to the polling place. 

--Conduct at the polls. To maintain proper decorum at the polls, it is requested that people turn off their cell phones.

--Campaigning prohibited. Campaign items such as buttons, stickers and T-shirts are not allowed in a polling place. It is illegal to campaign within 200 feet of a polling site.

--Voter identification. Proper identification will be required at the polling place of people who are newly registered by mail and did not provide identification. These people will be required to provide identification showing their current residence. Identification at the polling place is not required of other voters. 

Polls are open on Election Day from

8 a.m. CDT (7 a.m. MDT) to 8 p.m. CDT (7 p.m. MDT).

Check this official Nebraska government
website to see all the rules that apply.

"Unnecessary Farce" to Occur at the Lofte...

On October 15, the Lofte Community Theatre in Manley will continue its tradition of fast-paced comedy productions by opening Paul Slade's hilarious

"Unnecessary Farce."

Written in 2002, the script is modern and very witty.  The story takes place in two adjoining hotel rooms.  In one room, two rookie cops prepare to bust their town's mayor for embezzlement.  With the help of a love-starved woman accountant and a video camera, they set-up a sting in the adjoining room.  However, their simple plan soon goes haywire.  The accountant keeps taking off her clothes.  The mayor's security guard is overly protective.  A mysterious Scottish hitman appears, but his brogue is so thick no one can understand his instructions.  

The production is directed by Kevin Colbert of Weeping Water.

The colorful ensemble cast includes
Kyle Lorenz of Lincoln, Anne Pope of Eagle, Anna Strobel and Ken Patry of Omaha, Kevin and Dawn Holdorf of Manley and Joshua Smith of La Vista. 

Performance dates are October 15-17, 22-24 and 28-31.

Curtain times are 7:30pm on Thursday-Saturday

and

2pm matinees on Sundays.

General admission tickets are $16. 
Reservations can be made by calling the Lofte ticket office at

(402) 234-2553. 

The Lofte is located near the intersection of

Hwy 1 and Hwy 50 near the town of Manley. 
For driving directions and more information about the theater, please visit their website, www.Lofte.com.

Haunted Victorian Ghost Walk

The Plattsmouth Conservancy Inc. is the host of the 2010 Haunted Victorian Ghost Walk. 
The event will be held in Plattsmouth on Friday, October 22, and Saturday, October 23, 2010. 
The walk will start at 7:30p.m. each evening and conclude at 10:00 p.m.

Step back in time and visit historical homes and buildings nestled within the haunted hills of
Plattsmouth. Follow the night watchman to each location to experience a chilling evening of
frightful ghost stories from present day and years gone by.

Guests will travel by foot with lantern carriers to three historic homes and the historic Cass
County Court House under the care of the night watchman.  Along the way story tellers will
tell true ghost stories from the local Plattsmouth area.

Guests will also have the opportunity to step inside the historic homes and courthouse and
listen to Victorian Ghost Stories and Nebraska Ghost stories portrayed by a cast of actors
in Victorian period attire.

Following the walking tour all guests are invited to meet at the Historic Plattsmouth Public
Library for light refreshments and a viewing of the silent movie "Dracula".

This is not your typical "Haunted House" event.  There will be no skeletons popping out at you
or giant spiders dropping down on you.  But.. perhaps you will catch a glimpse of a ghostly spirit
who chooses to make their presence known at this time of year when the veil between our world
and the spirit world is most easily penetrated.

Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased at "Antiques Off Main", 125 South 5th Street,
Plattsmouth, Nebraska.  They can also be purchased through the mail by contacting Leigh
Jean Koinzan at the contact information above.  Advanced reservations are required.
