Lincoln Journal Star from Lincoln, Nebraska • 15

HOMETOWN Lincoln Journal Star Wednesday, June 6, 2001 3B ism School boaiti arJrninistrators totaled $2.16. District support cost $354. Dale said the district had two major guidelines when establishing the 2001-02 budget The general fund levy could not exceed $1 per $100 of assessed property valuation, and projected budget increases must be reduced by $5 miHioa Increases in the budget from about $207 million to about $220 million is projected to come from a 6.12 percent increase in teacher salaries, a rise in utility costs of more man $2 million and $2 million in start-up costs for Lincoln Southwest High School, which will open in 2002. Eight people who attended the meeting took the microphone for questions comments Seyeralhad concerns about the elimination of busing for thousands of LPS students. Parent Susan Strong said the board's recent vote to eliminate most busing that isn't required by state law did nothing to help restore the public's faith in a school board that many people have said they distrust The decision seemed like an angry response to two failed levy Kd override votes, a response that "punishes working parents" and makes getting to school unsafe for many students.

Parent Scott Henninger said a lot of activities in next year's budget paled in comparison to the activity of getting children to school safely. He said schools are not prepared to handle the traffic, confusion and chaos that will result when families are forced to drive their children to school School board finance committee chairman Ed Zimmer said the decision was not made in haste or anger. And it was not made easily. "But I don't anticipate that we wQl be able to restore (busing) next year," he said. Other questions concerned special education and high school focus program costs, and a decision to increase class sizes by not hiring more teachers next year to accommodate growing numbers of students.

"We do not want to be in a position permanently of not adding staff for growth," Zimmer said. Ron Ecklund, a Lincoln businessman who frequents budget meetings and has been one of a handful to comment at past budget hearings, said he was pleased so marry attended the meeting and offered comments and questions. "This was nice to see the interaction between the audience and the board," he said. "I liked the format better. It was much friendlier." Reach JoArm Young at 473-7242 or jyoungjoumalslar.cora.

Principals and other building Beltway decision coming -really BY MARK ANDERSEN Lincoln Journal Star For years Lincoln and Lancaster County officials begged off predicting when they would decide the fate of a $200 million beltway along the city's east and south sides. "In 1998 it was next said Stephen Hendrichsen, a city planner. Then it was maybe next falL" The decision will be made this summer, he said, issuing a revised schedule of hearings.

"We're less than 45 days from the first hearing on the beltway comp plan amendment" For years, city and county efforts have focused on gathering feds for the environmental impact statement, he said. "Now, it's "What should we put in the community's plan for the The comp plan amendment by itself will not determine a schedule for constmcting the beltway or determine funding, he said It will say whether the beltway should be constructed within the next 25 years. "It could be much sooner," Henrichsen said "This is more about the route (itself) than funding and timing." Some would prefer an east belt-way not be built at alL "It will be good to have a decision," said Marieen Rickertsen, who has worked against locating the east beltway route near the historic Stevens Creek Stock Farm, the fust white settlement in Lancaster County. Fighting the east beltway has been more than her hobby since 1995, she said "It's my job," she said "It's going to be full time for the next few months."

(Merritt) COUNTY COURT ev 4 '( I 500 BY ANDREW NELSON Lincoln Journal Star Warren Alfson, a lineman for the 1941 Cornhusker Rose Bowl team, died at his home in Wisner, Monday. He was 86 years old.

Following his 1941 graduation from NU, Alfson played NFL football for the Brooklyn Dodgers during the 1941 season. His football career ended with the Dec. 7 attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese navy. He entered the U.S. Navy the following month and rose to the rank of lieutenant commander before his September 1945 discharge, said Wayne Blue of Lincoln, who played in the Rose Bowl with Al-fsoa "Warren was a real nice, congenial person," Blue said.

"Warren was a hard-playing footballer, He loved the game; he played it 100 percent and you could always depend on him. After the war Alfson returned to Wisner, where he farmed and raised cattle. He served on the Wisner City Council and on the Wisner Public School Board of Education. A 1989 article in the Lincoln Star described Alfson as among the best offensive guards ever to play for Nebraska. Alfson was humble about his football career, though.

"I don't suppose I was outstanding, but I guess I did pretty well," he told reporter Mike Babcock. Alfson was inducted into the Nebraska Football Hall of Farfte in 1975, and Blue described him as an outstanding player. "He was fast really, for a big guy," Blue said. "Warren was outstanding like that He was always out in front" Reach Andrew Nelson at 473-7395 or citydeskjoumalstar.com. minutes of 4 I FREE Nationwide Long Distance ir for $39.99 A Distance Anytime MIn.

The east beltway would run from Nebraska 2 to Interstate 80 along one of three general paths: 105th Street 127th Street or 14lst Street (East Far). The route closest to Lincoln affects two historic properties, the middle route affects three and the far route affects four.

So far no potential problem on any of those routes has eliminated any from consideration, Henrichsen said. City and county officials earlier expressed a preference for the far east route 141st Street But many of the city and county officials who expressed that desire no longer hold elected office. The City County Planning Commission stiff report on the beltway, which is expected to recommend a route, will be made available June 27. Public hearings will held in Jury and August, with a decision coming afterward Reach Mark Andersen at 473-7238 or mandersenjoumalstar.com. Plea Continued From IB door of Pickinpaugh's car.

A runaway from a state facility, Van Natter, 17, had used the name Julie Olsen since arriving in Beatrice in May 2000. Snyder pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting false imprisonment while Daniels pleaded to being an accessory to a felony. Both Snyder and Daniels have agreed to testify truthfully in Chapman's case under a plea agreement with Gage County Attorney Richard Smith. Documents filed in Jeff Doman's case show Jessica Snyder told investigators that Jeff Doman knew what happened to Van Natter. Snyder told investigators that Jeff Doman knew about Van Natter's death shortly after Snyder and Chapman dumped Van Natter's body from the bridge and returned to the Dor-nan house.

Charges also were filed Monday against Sara Sanders, 18, of Beatrice. Sanders allegedly lied to the grand jury, implicating Steven R. Nash, 32, who was initially charged with the murder but later exonerated. Investigators say that Sanders admitted on March 22 that she gave false testimony to the grand jury. Smith said Tuesday morning that he couldn't rule out additional charges in the Van Natter case.

According to documents filed in Gage County Court, Doman was charged with perjury for lying in January to a grand jury investigating slaying. He also is charged with being an accessory to felony in the murder by allegedly helping his half-brother, murder suspect Aaron Chapman, avoid prosecution. Jeff and Tim Doman turn 24 on Thursday. Tim Doman was charged Friday with penury and accessory to a felony and he was arrested over the weekend.

He appeared in court Monday. Bonds for both Domans were set at $25,000. Investigators allege mat Tun Doman also lied to the grand jury and helped Chapman and co-defendants Jessica Snyder and Shaun Daniels flee the state. Last week, during Chapman's preliminary hearing, the brothers invoked their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and avoid self-incrimination.
