JJU iJ Freeway Corridor Study Released February 1972 Uiteoln 5 OMAHA-FREMONT PROPOSALS PART OF STATE'S 20-YEAR PLAN Ten alternative routes, six from Omaha to near Fremont and four in the Fremont vicinity, were proposed in a Omaha-Fremont freeway corridor study released Saturday by the State Roads Department. The study, started I December, 1969, and part of the 20-year road plan, was undertaken by the Omaha consulting firm of Kirkham, Michael and Associates. In conjunction with the release of the study, G. C. Strobel, deputy state engineer, announced a corridor public hearing for the freeway report To at 7:30 p.m.

March 21 in the Elkhorn Junior-Senior High School Auditorium at Elkhorn. Testimony Requested At this hearing information and data will be presented and the public will be asked for statements and testimony relating to the freeway locations, Strobel explained. The corridor study involved an area commencing at Interstate 680 near the northwestern edge of Omaha, extending in a westerly- northwesterly direction roughly paralleling U.S. 6 and 30A and the Platte River on the south CJfir and southwest side, the Washington-Douglas County line on the north, encompassing the Fremont area, and including a strip running from Fremont north to the present junction of U.S. 275 and 77 near Winslow.

Also included in the study were regions where the possible Fremont terminus points of the Fremont to Columbus and Fremont to Lincoln proposed freeways could be placed. Economic Centers Major economic centers of the corridor are Fremont in the western zone and the western outskirts of the Omaha metropolitan area in the eastern zone. Within the corridor limits are the communities of Bennington, Boys Town, Elkhorn, Elk City, Inglewood, Irvington, King Lake, Nickerson, Valley, Waterloo and Winslow. The engineering firm said the freeway, when completed, will be similar in design to the present four-lane Interstate and will constitute the north side of a triangular area which will be surrounded by modern highways connecting Omaha, Lincoln and Fremont. Approximately 24 miles of roadway are involved in the Omaha to near Fremont segment of the freeway with estimated construction costs of the alternatives ranging from $20,833,000 to $24,999,000, the study reveals.

$32 Million Cost For the Fremont area segment of the freeway, involving from 23.67 miles to 27.06 miles of roadway, construction costs have been estimated at frcni $27,776,000 to $32,025,000 by the consulting firm. Total construction costs will depend upon the selection of one of the routes in the east central region of the corridor in combination with one route in the Fremont area, or variations thereof, the report pointed OMAHA-FREMONT CORRIDOR routes proposed in detailed study. Currently U.S. 6 and 275 and Nebraska 64 and 36 carry Omaha-Fremont traffic. In the Fremont to Winslow portion of the corridor, U.S.

275, 77,30 and Nebraska 109 and 91 serva motorists. Alternate Listed The most southern alternate route segment between and the Elkhorn River would provide the most traffic service of all the propo.sed routes, the study stated. However, construction of the northern route, the study says, would be the least disturbing to existing facilities because of the undeveloped area it passe-s through. Before any route selections could be made, the Omaha engineering firm gathered extensive data including evaluations and analyses in the socioeconomic, traffic, engineering and environmental areas. Later informational meetings were held with governmental bodies, civic groups, town boards, planning boards and other citizens who lived within or who had Jurisdiction within the corridor areas.

Following these meetings, several of the original preliminary routes were eliminated. Each of the remaining routes was evaluated with a preliminary report of these findings going to the Nebraska Department of Roads and the Federal Highway Administration for selection of the final alternate routes. The corridor reports are now available for review at these locations: county offices and offices and libraries within the corridor, libraries at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln and at Omaha, Nebraska Wesleyan University, and Midland College at Fremont. In addition, reports are available for review in the Department of Lincoln and Omaha offices. STAR PHOTO DEEP IN THOUGHT Roger, left, Mike ponder chess board.

It also provides that if the union wants to negotiate for a new contract next year, it must notify the city by April 1, instead of Sept. 1.

The contract does not contain other wage and fringe benefits sought by the union.

The new instructional design procedures discussed at the conference wwe developed at the Great Plains National (GPN) Insbiictional Television Library by its research and development coordinator. Dr. C. Edward Cavert.

Cavert said the approach Is best summarized as being as opposed to teacher-centered group The new approach, he said, simply a matter of establishing what is expected of the learner in a specific area of learning; assessing where the learner is now in relation to these expectations; and designing something to move the learner from where he is to where he should More than 20 delegates and observers from across the United States met at the new Nebraska Educational Telecommunications Complex. They urged that GPN use its national instructional design thrust to encourage production of materials that have been pre-tested using procedures outlined in Design Procedural manual. Lincoln conference participants from eight agencies serving school systems with television tested the new procedures during the past year in a national demonstration project. They discussed their experiences with the procedures and offered modifications for the manual which will be published later this year.

Today worth several hundred thousand.

generous with my daughter and me but what bugs us is he still dresses, talks, and acts like an impoverished immigrant. He could afford to wear decent clothes and keep his hair cut and take us to nice places. Instead he fools around with a roadside stand where he sells concrete blocks, patio stones, and gravel. He dresses in overalls and drives a truck. He even refuses to put on a necktie when he takes us out to dinner.

What good is a man when he act like a Answer: Be grateful for what got. A lot of wives would probably be glad to trade places. probably never going to transform him into a storybook gentleman. But you may make progress if you quit criticizing and start employing some of the usual feminine persuaders such as flattery and cajolery. Most women can get just about anything they want out of a man if they do enough sweet talking.

What do you think of the a question of ethics here, but as a rule old customers are fair game for any salesman who quits oue employer and goes to work for another. By taking some of his customers you may actually do the boss a favor by awakening him to the fact that reaching 65 is no reason for penalizing a man and minimizing his ability to do a full-time job.
