NOTE FROM TOWN HALL...
Many of us know how convenient it is to pay our utility bills electronically. No writing out checks, no stamps or envelopes, just a couple of clicks and it's done.
The Village of Murray would like to know how many residents would actually use this service for payment of their water bills. Electronic payments would cost the Village a small amount per transaction to process, however the higher the number of users, the less it would cost.
If you're interested in this service, call Eileen at Town Hall, 402-235-2119. and ask that your name be added to the 'interested' list. It's not a guarantee that this will happen, but it will give the Board a good idea of how many are interested and if it should be implemented.
Pass this word on to your neighbors, and ask them to call if they, too, are interested.

Grand Opening
Sideline Power Retail and Rental Shop
Matt Starr, CEO of Sideline Power, enthusiastically announces the opening of the Sideline Power Retail and Rental Shop in downtown Greenwood, NE. “We frequently get visitors stopping by our office requesting product demos or even just to see what’s new on the market,” mused Starr, “so opening a store front seemed like a logical progression for the business.” While customers are able to purchase equipment outright, Sideline Power also provides equipment rentals for the most popular products they market. “We know someone might not want to spend a significant amount of money on a drone that they might only use once or twice. That’s why we offer rental programs for items like DJI Drones, GoPro Cameras, Anchor Speaker Systems, and more...” Starr stated. Need a loud speaker for a special event? Sideline Power has you covered. Need a drone for some cool on-the-fly-footage? Sideline Power has you covered.
Sideline Power’s Retail and Rental Shop is currently open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:30 AM – 5 PM, Thursdays from 8:30 AM – 6 PM, and Saturday from 9 AM – 1 PM. Come by 216 Highway 6, Greenwood, NE 68366.
Take some time to check out the retail products for sale, or sign up to rent a piece of equipment you’ve always wanted to try. Stop by for the grand opening ceremony on July 1st, 2017 from 9 AM – 1 PM for refreshments and giveaways from DJI.

“The Man Who Came to Dinner” at Lofte Theatre
The Lofte's second production of the year takes us back to small-town Ohio in the 1930s. Sheridan Whiteside ("Sherry" to his friends) is a famously outlandish New York City radio personality who has been invited to dine at the home of the well-to-do Stanley family. But disaster strikes before he enters the house. Whiteside slips on the ice and injures his hip!
What started out as a one-night event soon turns into a month-long convalescence. Confined to the house, Sherry drives his hosts mad by viciously insulting them, monopolizing their house, running up large phone bills, and receiving many bizarre guests, including paroled convicts.
This classic American script has enjoyed several revivals on Broadway and the London stage and was made into a feature film in 1942 starring Bette Davis, Jimmy Durante and Monty Woolly.
Ken Snyder of Elmwood is playing the irascible Sheridan Whiteside. He is joined on stage by Brenda Jones (Louisville) and Tim Sorensen (Elmwood) playing his hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley. Rosalie Duffy (Lincoln) and Doug Rothgeb (Omaha) play the star-crossed Maggie Cutler and Bert Jefferson. Rounding out the cast are Dustin Reckling (Louisville), Jean Wymore (Syracuse), Jessica and Rita McKinney, Ken Patry and Trish Miller (Omaha), Cheryl and Will Jones (Manley), Tom Lucas (Papillion), Jeff Johnston (Elmwood), Mike Brown (Firth), Jim Skrobo (Elkhorn), Aubree Sweeney and Millard Carnes (Plattsmouth), Guillermo Rosas (La Vista), Zeke Rouse (Murray), Brenna Thompson, Nick Roth (Lincoln), John Bell and Dan Roberg (Omaha) and Shawn Reynolds (Bellevue). The production is directed by Kevin Colbert.
"The Man Who Came to Dinner" runs June 8-11. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances are at 7pm. Sunday performances begin at 2pm. Those interested in tickets may call the box office at 402-234-2553 or visit Lofte.org for online purchasing. All seats are reserved and ticket price is $19.
