News from Bill Henry, Volunteer Coordinator for the Missing in
America Project for Nebraska: "On March 18, 2015, Governor Pete
Ricketts signed into law LB146. This is almost 6 months to the day
that MIAP proposed the law to Nebraska State Senator Sue
Crawford and assistant Kaitlin Reese. LB146 releases liability for
the funeral home if they give the abandoned veteran's remains
to a veteran's organization for disposition and burial." If you would
like to know more about this project, or make a donation, please
contact me at home, 402-828-5705.
Clean Up Day for the Village has been

FARCE OF NATURE
The final show of the winter season at Kountze Memorial Theatre in Mahoney State Park is "Farce of Nature" by Jones, Hope, and Wooten.
It is a Southern-fried farce depicting one day at the struggling Reel'em Inn fishing lodge where a lone guest is being housed as part of the government's witness protection program. The mobster he's hiding from and his sexy wife, who is quite taken with the lodge owner's son show up. The witness tries to disguise himself and hilarity ensues. An absent-minding gun toting maid, wild animal noises, and run for your life humor keep the show moving. Romance among the couples, some of which is created by hypnotic suggestion, floods the stage and is sure to win you over - hook, line, and sinker.
Show dates: March 13,14,15,20,21,22,27,28,29, April 4,10,11,12
Show times: Fri. & Sat. 7:30 p.m. Sun. 2:00 p.m.
Tickets: $8.00 - $10.00

FIDDLE FABLES
Greenblatt & Seay's Schoolhouse Performance Series features championship fiddler/composer, Deborah Greenblatt, in "Fiddle Fables", on Sunday, April 12, at 2:30 PM, in the Old Avoca, Nebraska Schoolhouse.
With the help of her fabulous five-string fiddle Deborah Greenblatt explores some of the trials, tribulations, and lessons that fiddlers often have in common. There is advice for the beginner (“It Starts With Your Feet”), advice for the fiddler’s families (“Have Mercy”), for the growing fiddler (“Shopping For a Fiddle Blues”), for the brave fiddler (“I’m Gonna Fiddle In a Contest”), as well as the fiddler who plays the viola (“Out of Fiddle, Out of My Mind”). There are also inspiring stories of real-life fiddlers (“Cactus Pete”), teachers (“Alice Johnson’s Jig”), and students (“Mary Ann the Fiddler”).
The concert will be downstairs, followed by light refreshments, and a chance to chat and jam with Greenblatt & Seay. Avoca is in southern Cass County, Nebraska, on the 13 C Spur, one mile south of Highway 34.
Admission is $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for students and senior citizens, and $1.00 for children. Seating is limited.For more information, write to Greenblatt & Seay, The Old Schoolhouse, P.O.
