When David Davis makes his move to Fairbury for his new athletic director and assistant principal position, he’ll be brining a “Brady Bunch family” and plenty of familiarity to the area with him.The 49-year-old Beaver

Crossing, Nebraska native has four kids – Jacinda, Caleb, Noah, Aiden – and has been married to his wife, Tarsha, for nine years. They are coming to Fairbury from Plattsmouth, where they have resided for the past 16 years.

Nice Day For A Drive—(Above) The International Speedster Reunion drove through the area last week and stopped at Homestead Monument. (Right) Nearly 40 antique cars traveled to Wilber to hear Presidential candidate Les Vilda talk about his campaign. The group included over 25 states in the U.S. and driv-ers from Canada and Aus-tralia. Check out FairburyTV for more on the reunion.

“I have a Brady Bunch family. I am remarried with four children,” Davis said.The former science teacher at Beatrice, Val-

ley, and Plattsmouth gave insight into what each of his kids are involved in and the grades they’ll be going into this upcoming school year.“My oldest daughter Jacinda will be a junior

this next fall at Doane University where she competes in cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track. Caleb will be a senior this year. He runs cross country and track. Noah will be a junior this year and just had knee surgery so will be out of commission for a little while. Aiden will be an eighth grader this year and

likes to try everything,” he said.Davis will officially begin his tenure at his

new job on August 1.Q: What attracted you to Fairbury and the

AD/Assistant Principal position at FHS?A: Great community that offered me a great

opportunity to have contact with even more students and parents.Q: Do you have any familiarity with the

Fairbury community? Traveled to this part of the state before?A: I have friends that live in a neighboring

District) will likely be an important part of a project to improve road service from the Endicott Clay Products brickyard. That road receives a lot of wear and tear due to trucks coming to and going from the brickyard.First, however, the County must decide

which direction the road should go. One op-tion is to repair the existing road that runs east from Endicott Clay. The second is to construct a new, hard-surface road west of Endicott Clay.Tim Farmer, Highway Superintendent, ap-

peared at the Jefferson County Commission-ers meeting the morning of Tues., June 18, to explain the options. He said, “Our initial estimate we figured about two million dollars. That's for the work to go on the existing road, doing all the repairs necessary and everything, and including all the bridge work that will be needed to get those bridges updated.”

ACLU Takes Issue WithFPS Policy

The issue of testing students in activities at Fairbury Public Schools, which now includes nicotine, will be an on-going series at FJN. Check out each Wednesday and Friday issue for more on this topic.

Two Possible Routes For Endicott Clay Road Discussed

County Commissioner Mark Schoenrock asked Farmer to, “Go through what all this entails.”Farmer said, “This would entail removing

the existing road, regrading, coming back in with nine inches of concrete on a four-inch base. Similar to what PWF (Road) was. Then all the bridge work, we would have to build projections to the bridges so we wouldn't have settlement at the bridges, and redo all the guardrails to meet current standards. That's a fairly substantial cost. By going west, we eliminate that.”The route west would add about a mile and

a half more to the route. Farmer said, “To go west is 2.4 million. You won't have near as much earthwork to worry about.”“As you recall, we're trying to get the road

By Gordon HopkinsOn Friday, June 21, Fairbury Public Schools

Superintendent Stephen Grizzle received a letter from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) regarding the school’s new policy to test students involved in extracurricular ac-tivities for nicotine.FPS has had a drug testing policy for stu-

dents involved in extracurricular activities for two years, but until now that did not include nicotine. The Fairbury School Board voted unanimously to add nicotine to the school’s drug testing protocols and policy. The new policy will be effective for the 2019/2020 school year.Attorneys for the school, KSB Law (Kelley,

Scritsmier & Byrne), were consulted when random drug testing was first considered. In a recent interview, Grizzle said, “Anytime we want to implement a new policy or create a new policy, we contact them, and then they guide us through (the process). They actu-ally write a draft of the policy, and then we fine tune it to meet Fairbury Public Schools’ needs.”Grizzle indicated KSB Law was consulted

again when nicotine was added to the sched-ule.“Our process has been vetted,” said Grizzle.

“We went off of strict guidance from our at-torney, because we don’t want to do anything that’s wrong, illegal, or anything that’s going to put the district in any kind of legal jeop-ardy at all. So we feel extremely confident that the process we have and the policy that we have in place is going to withstand any kind of question. So I don’t feel like anything that the ACLU indicated is an alarm for us or what we’re doing.”The letter from the ACLU states, “I under-

stand that the Fairbury Public School District has recently expanded its student drug testing policy. A school district may be permitted to adopt such a policy—but only with significant safeguards in place due to the fact that seri-ous privacy and constitutional issues that are implicated.“I have reviewed the policy passed earlier this

month and I am writing to provide you with the legal and policy framework that should be considered by the district. As described below, we believe several portions of the new policy are unconstitutional and require revision.”The ACLU letter identified four specific areas

of concern and warns that, if they are not ad-

We are testing the wrong students for drugs, including nicotine. Sixty percent of the students at FHS par-

ticipate in activities. The 60 percent of kids in activities knowingly and willingly want to do activities and, for the most part, accept that if they are caught vaping, drinking, or violating the policy in any way, there will be consequences. The other 40 percent of students that are

not in activities and may be smoking, vap-ing, drinking or doing other illicit drugs are the ones the school needs to reach and try to keep safe. Parents can have those stu-dents opted in for testing and I suggest they do just that move.These are the students we should be edu-

cating about the dangers of drug use. These are the parents that need to opt their chil-dren in and begin keeping a close eye on their activities and getting involved in those activities. These are the students that the parents

need to be talked to as well and told that their student excels at ‘X’ and is passion-ate about ‘Y’ and they need to take an ac-tive role in parenting. I have heard too often from people associated with the school, or other parents, that some mothers and fathers in this community (not just in Fair-bury, but in the entire region) are relaxed in their caring for their children.Students that FJN staff have talked to

have noted that the school has done little, in their opinions, to show why vaping is bad and why they should not do it, regardless of activities.Many of these students keep their vaping

habit from their parents, so educating par-ents on the subject matter is also impera-tive.We can’t teach morality and we can’t force

people to care, but providing enough educa-tion all around is a start in getting children protected from habits that may inhibit their ability to achieve their goals.

I write this week from way out in west-ern Nebraska, at one of the camps run by Lutheran Christians named Sullivan Hills. It’s ten miles north of Lodgepole where the road ends and challenging discovery begins. Five camp counselors, 23 junior high youth, a cook, a rescue dog and myself are exploring nature, struggling to love one another through close quarters and the daily rituals of eating and cleaning. The sky is broad and the air is dry with a scent of prairie grass. We’ve caught lizards on the archery range and sang goofy campfire songs while lightning shot through the distant sky. We’ve bouldered and dug a meaningless (unless

you consider coop-eration and the joy of labor together mean-ingless) and spon-taneous pit, played gaga ball (you’ve have to ask) till our knuck-les were bloody and one of us was giddy to spot several yellow warblers! Our theme for the week has been “Chain Reaction,” and it draws upon a Bible verse (I John 4:11) that calls us to respond to the love we’ve received from God with active, in-tentional love toward others. This of course is not easy for youth or adults and so the time away from our usual routines and comfortable habits allows us space to ponder and practice what God intends to be a world-altering force, foolishly enact-

ed by means of clay footed fools such as ourselves. I am so grateful for

these young people bringing their honest selves to explore the parables and actions of Jesus. In being vul-nerable and curious they have been out-standing disciples as they considered how they can join in the work of God through generosity, inclusion, compassion, justice, and forgiveness. We looked at Jesus’

treatment of hated outsiders (Luke 17) and the early Chris-tian community’s bizarre response of selling all they had and sharing as any had need (Acts 2). We struggled through the Matthew 20 par-able where Jesus reveals a strange form

of justice – one infused with deep generos-ity and an eye toward those who struggle. I am grateful for

the gift of this time and for the hope that comes from being with these young beloveds of God. May we, no matter our age or location, find ways to wander and won-der and may we know the absurdity of God as revealed in Jesus’ generosity, inclusion, compassion, justice, and forgiveness.

Quick QuipsBy Timothy LinscottMy son’s birthday was last Sunday. He

wanted to go to an arcade. I figured it would be a fairly cheap birthday

party for the family. He wanted to play every game in the place and his sisters wanted to play games that racked up tickets, so they could go buy a 10 cent trinket that would cost me $10.The whole arcade experience is much big-

ger than it was in my day. You had a few claw games and stand up video games. Now you have games you dance on and drumming simulators.It was nice to see the games they all loved

the most: skee ball and air hockey, the clas-sics.

Reader Wants Bowling Alley Back Openbowlers in Thayer County can have a place to bowl.Beatrice doesn’t have a bowling alley for over

10 years and I don’t know why that placed closed that building is for rent./s/ Fred Frederick*Editor’s Note: The Fairbury Journal-

News contacted an owner of Almeas (formerly known as PlaMor Cafe) and they noted that the business is not permanently closed as repairs and work is being done on the former bowling alley side. Owner Bryce Robinson said, “Almaes is NOT

permanently closed. It is a temporary closure for renovations on the bowling alley side for the safety and health of our customers.”Beatrice also has a bowling alley, the Orange

Bowl, which is presently open. The former Tonka Lanes in Beatrice is closed and the building is for rent.

Smoke and MirrorsAs readers of this

newspaper may know, the Fairbury Public Schools re-cently added, nicotine to the list of drugs they test for in an attempt to combat underage vaping. So the issue of vaping is schools has become the big story of the moment.Now this is an opin-

ion column, and Lord knows I am a man with opinions. Unfortunately, I

am also the reporter covering the vaping story. So it is wholly inappropriate for me to be expressing my opinions on the sub-ject. Unbiased jour-nalism and all that jazz.Except, I have

discovered an is-sue tangential to the main story on which, perhaps, I can ven-ture an observation or two.Soon after the initial

report broke, it got picked up by Bea-trice and Lincoln and Omaha and other Nebraska papers. That was only to be expected.Then the story was

run by the New York Times and the Wash-ington Post. Now it was a big deal. Now the story has “legs,” as we say in the news biz. They quoted lo-cal school staff. I am unsure if someone from those newspa-pers actually spoke to locals or if they were getting their info

second hand. Either way, I am pleased to note they cited this modest periodical as a source.The NBC news got

into the act. News stories on television quite often have their original work done by the print indus-try. How many times have you heard a television news pieces begin with the words, “According to a story in the Wall Street Journal” or “In a recent story by the Los Angeles Times” or “According to the Chicago Tribune”?Print does the leg-

work for TV talking heads. How often do we get a thank you? Not bloody often. The Times and the Post cited The Fairbury Journal-News. NBC did not.Not that I'm bitter or

anything.Then came the

internet “news and information” sites. Yes, I used quotation marks. You know why. They run the gamut from “The Fed-eralist,” to “Jezebel.” If any of these stories bothered to cite a source at all, it was usually the Washing-ton Post.As the story goes

from second to third to fourth-hand and beyond, more and more details are being lost and the few accu-rate facts that remain are buried in ranting diatribes and badly edited polemics. Please note. Not one of these

“news” outlets both-ered to contact the Journal-News, the school, or really anyone who actually knew what the heck they were talking about.Remember that ex-

periment your teacher

made you do in grade school, where one student whispered something in the ear of a fellow student? That student then

whispered into the ear of the next stu-dent, and so one down the line. The end result bore

no resemblance to the original.That is what is hap-

pening here. That is what always

happens on the inter-net.Consider this a

friendly warning to those of you who choose to get their news from the inter-net.

By Nathan HeuerBecoming an All-American was far from the

mind of Fairbury senior Jillian Caroon enter-ing her final bout of the AAU Scholastic Duals in Orlando, Florida last week.Back pain for Caroon was immense and had

built over the course of the three-day event. It caused the 160-pounder to demote herself to Nebraska’s second girls team – Nebraska Roses – heading into the competition.Doubts of competing in the final dual slowly

began to creep in the mind of Caroon before her high school head coach, Derek Garfield,

Caroon Earns All-American Status

By Nathan HeuerA little bit of confidence goes a long ways – or

so the saying goes.In this case that couldn’t be more true.Fairbury’s Brody Kroll was 1-of-10 at the

plate in junior legion competition coming into Friday’s contest against Malcolm at the Crete Junior Legion Baseball Tournament.During Friday’s game Kroll flipped the script

on his stat line with a perfect 4-for-4 day at the dish that featured two RBIs and a double. The junior’s production led the Land Sharks to a victory over Malcolm in an 8-7 contest that nearly saw Fairbury’s lead slip away in the final two frames.Fairbury head coach Jesse Bauer credited

Kroll’s success at the plate to his belief in oneself.“I think just getting his confidence. We’ve

been talking about it a lot. We were thinking he wasn’t seeing the ball good but he kept tell-ing us that ain’t it,” Bauer said of Kroll’s key to success.Fairbury broke a scoreless tie in the third in-

ning on Kroll single that brought home Austin

back and to her credit she fought through it. She was hurting pretty good heading into that last dual,” Garfield said. “Some kids just need that nudge, that pep talk. It’s a long week out

there and she was getting run down a little bit.”After deciding she would compete, Caroon

For The Record

dressed, “Fairbury’s policy presents several concerning provisions that may expose the school district to liability if a parent decides to bring legal action.”One: “Inadequate guarantee of student’s

privacy: 7(f)(ii) authorizes sample collection ‘in a manner designed to insure accurate testing protocols while minimizing intrusion into a student’s privacy.’ The district should be more explicit in prohibiting any school official from observing the student while she provides the urine sample. Understanding the mechanics of drug testing is necessary to understand the impact of what the policy permits. The best form of a drug test is to take a urine sample from the individual. In order to ensure that the urine sample is provided by the individual (and not substituted or diluted), the urine sample must be produced while the tester watches. To put it more plainly, Fairbury’s policy does not reject that industry standard and does not explicitly guarantee that stu-dents will not be required to expose them-selves. For example, some Nebraska districts have specifically provided in their policies: ‘To the extent that the testing involves the col-lection of urine, an adult monitor is to wait outside a closed restroom stall and listen for the normal sounds of urination.’Regarding this issue, Grizzle said, “They

also make it sound like we’re standing in the restroom while the kids pee, and that’s not the case. They go into the restroom by themselves. It’s a single user restroom.”Two: “Testing for prescription medication:

7(g) permits testing for ‘any prescription drug that was obtained without proper authoriza-tion,’ but that would necessitate inquiry into a student’s medical care and protected health information. Further, since the district of-fers no appeal process (see below), there is no opportunity for a student or her parents to provide documentation that she does, in fact, have ‘proper authorization’ to use the medica-tion.”

According to Grizzle, if a student tests posi-tive for a prescription medication, “They just provide documentation from a doctor.”Three: “Testing for tobacco: 7(g) permits test-

ing for tobacco use. Unlike the illegal drugs being tested for in the U.S. Supreme Court case Earls, tobacco possession is only a Class V misdemeanor—an offense which carries no possibility of jail time. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that searches seeking informa-tion about tobacco possession or use must be based on reasonable suspicion. New Jersey v. T.L.O., 469 U.S. 325 (1985). Unlike the other substances being tested for, tobacco could le-gitimately be in a student’s system as a result of secondhand smoke exposure from a parent or guardian’s legal use of tobacco; the CDC warns that secondhand smoke is most com-mon in the home and can involuntarily affect the physiology of those living with a smoker.’ We are unaware of any case law that suggests a school may permissibly engage in such an invasive search as a urine sample in pursuit of a mere misdemeanor tobacco violation. We urge you to reevaluate inclusion of tobacco in the testing process. Normal school discipline is available for a student who is caught using or possession tobacco products.”The company providing the drug testing is

Sport Safe Testing Service, Inc., headquar-tered in Powell, Ohio. After speaking to a rep-resentative of the company, Derek Anderson, Assistant Principal/AD was advised the level of nicotine tested for is well above what would be secondhand.“It definitely cannot be secondhand, at all,”

Anderson said.Four: Lack of appeal process: Fairbury has

denied the opportunity for students and par-ents to challenge a faulty process, despite the well-documented issue of false positives and inaccuracy of drug tests. This is particularly concerning since, as discussed above, the dis-trict intends to broaden its testing for far more than any other Nebraska district.

dence that a substance found in the test was lawfully present or have an independent lab retest to ensure there is no mistake made in the initial sample collection. The failure to in-corporate an appeal process not only violates the fundamentals of due process protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, but also fails to provide a commonsense escape valve for any mistake or human error.”Section 13 of the policy states, “The school

district will rely solely upon the opinion of the MRO (Medical Review Officer) to determine whether the positive test result was the result of the consumption of a drug. There shall be no appeal of the test result to any school ad-ministrator or the board of education.”When asked what led to the drug testing

policy, Grizzle said, “It felt like there was a public perception that there was higher than normal drug use in the school. We felt like, by implementing random drug tests for activity kids, that it would help dispel some of that.”Grizzle added, “We didn’t think we’d get very

many positive results and, so far, I’d say we haven’t.”Since beginning dug testing, the school tests

between 20 and 25 students each months for the nine months of the school year. Grizzle indicated there were four positive tests in the 17/18 school year and three in the 18/19 school year.Since the school has not tested for nicotine

before, the only numbers available are dis-ciplinary actions for students caught smok-ing or vaping. There were seven in the 17/18 school year and 30 in the 18/19 school year.The story has been picked up by national

news carriers, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today, “NBC News,” “CNN” and others. Grizzle said he has so far been contacted by at least ten different news outlets.“It’s a conversation that’s happening across

the country now,” Grizzle said. “We didn’t set out to be front and center in the national de-bate on vaping.”

Novotny, who led the frame with a walk. The Land Sharks scored an additional two runs in the top of the fourth, propelling Fairbury to a 5-0 lead.On the mound Andrew Novotny set the tone

for Fairbury by tossing three scoreless innings to start the game. Andrew struck out three and walked four in the three-inning span while also getting out of a bases-loaded jam in the second frame.“I thought he did pretty well. For the most

part he shut them down until later in the game. They started to hit on him a little bit and we were going to try and ride him as long

and Garfield began to strategize for her next opponent – Kennedy Lawerence, who compet-ed for the Iowa Vikings.Lawrence and Caroon entered the bout with

familiarity. Fairbury’s JV 160-pounder from this past winter fell to Lawrence at the Twin Rivers High School Girls Duals in March by the score of 13-9.The result didn’t sway Garfield’s belief in

Caroon but rather helped with forming a suffi-cient game plan before the pair met up for the second time in a three-month span.“I had confidence in her. We changed her

technique a little bit so we weren’t shooting underneath to get that back extended. So I told her “good hand fighting in the first period, don’t get caught underneath her. You can beat her in the second period,” and it worked

out well,” he said.For Caroon, the game plan and pep talk by

Garfield refocused her thoughts on becoming an All-American and voided any thoughts of back pain.“The match before that I lost and got pinned.

I was in such a bad mood. My back hurt so bad and I didn’t want to wrestle anymore. But Garfield talked to me for 20 minutes and I got in a better mood,” Caroon said. “He’s like “You can win this one just be defensive. Be heavy with your hands. You don’t have to shoot and have all her weight on you.” That’s what I did most of the match and it worked.The Fairbury senior went out and executed

the game plan to near perfection. After a scoreless first period Caroon was on bottom when she caught Lawrence riding high and secured a reversal. Caroon finished the match

with a butcher, earning her a pin in 2 minutes 52 seconds.“It was really, really cool. It’s the cream of

the crop in female wrestling so for her to come away as an All-American that’s awesome. She wrestled great the entire weekend. She did a lot of positive things as wrestler. She had some really good female coaches, which was awesome for her to get that chance to be coached by them,” Garfield said.Caroon tallied a 5-4 record at the event held

at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex to earn All-American status. She recorded three pins and two forfeits to accumulate her victo-ries.Her team, Nebraska Roses, took seventh

place out of 10 girl’s teams that competed.The Nebraska Beauties placed third as a

team with a 7-2 dual record.

as we can because when you get in tourna-ment time if you can get through that first day using as few as pitchers as you can it’s the best thing you can do,” Bauer said. Malcom’s bats shook loose in the fourth

frame via a pair of doubles from Dillon Beach and Rick Nickel, which put two runners across home plate, making it a 5-2 game.Fairbury put the game seemingly out of

reach with a three-run fifth inning that was propelled by an Austin Novotny sacrifice fly, and back-to-back singles from Jake Martin and Kroll, which ensued after Austin’s hit.A Malcolm rally followed, and the home team

came up just short in their comeback attempt. Malcolm scratched out four hits and were walked twice on their way to a five-run fifth innings that put the score at 8-7 heading into the final frame.Kroll provided relief on the mound for An-

drew Novotny after the fourth run was scored in the fifth inning.In the final frame, Kroll struck out two of the

four batters he faced to end the game.Due to inclement weather, tournament

games on Saturday and Sunday were can-celled, leaving Fairbury with a 1-0 record over the weekend and a 7-5 record overall.

1880A big rain broke

the spring drought. Some farmers said it rained seven or eight inches, but methods of record-ing rainfall were not as accurate as they are today.P. McGregor left

Fairbury for Lin-coln to take salt-water baths for his rheumatism. The Fairbury Gazette said the new B.&M. Railroad would cross Rose Creek six miles south of Fairbury.

1890Gambling in grain

bothered some farmers. The Otoe County Farmers Alliance resolved that “Farm prod-ucts have been too low to admit of any profit, and believing that gambling in the stock exchange by selling for future delivery, grain and other farm prod-ucts which they do not own and never expect to own, has had a great influ-ence in keeping prices down.”

1900According to sta-

tistics, the income of Andrew Carnegie was nearly $75,000 a day. The average working man then made $2 a day.C.G. Catlin was

Rock Island ticket agent in Fairbury and advertised excursion rates to various points, such as round trip to the Democrat National Conven-tion in Kansas City for $5.55.

Woman’s Club, having put a public drinking fountain in the courthouse square, proceeded to take steps to have permanent seats located in the shade of the trees surrounding the courthouse.Considerable land

deeds, was $63.80 an acre. Land in Antelope Precinct averaged the low-est, $33.64 an acre, and in Gib-son Precinct, the highest, $82.55 an acre.

1929After a long rainy

spell in April and May continuing into June, the weather turned hot and dry and crops began to suffer.Hired hands for

farm work were so scarce, farm-ers were driven to many schemes to get their farm work done. One farmer hitched his hayrake to his Ford and did a quick job.

1930Wheat prices

dropped about 10 cents a bushel in one week, which caused a great deal of complaint among the farmers, espe-cially among the co-operatives who were trying to raise the price of wheat. This was the period when the Hoover farm relief board was operating.Merger of the

Harbine State Bank with the First Na-tional Bank in Fair-bury left the city with only one bank, whereas at one time it had four.

1940Melvin Moss at-

tended the Re-publican National Convention in Philadelphia, where he acted as one of the sergeants-at-arms.The government

loan on No. 1 wheat was 67 cents a bushel.An airplane flying

school opened in Fairbury, with 15 pupils enrolled.

1950The bid of Aas-

en and Lein of $56,617, for the construction of the vehicle and storage building to be used as an armory for Company D.Mrs. Hazel Leon-

ard was installed president of the American Legion Auxiliary, suc-ceeding Miss Irene Wiggins.

After 62 years of service, the Allen Store at Alexan-dria quit, selling the stock to Gerald Joe.

1960A third Bliss

brother, Cecil, was ordained a minis-ter at the Nebraska Methodist Confer-ence in Lincoln, 20 years ago. His brothers, Lt. Don-ald F. Bliss, Navy Chaplain assigned to the USS Cas-cade, and the Rev. Loyd J. Bliss, pas-tor of St. James Methodist Church in Lincoln the past five years, partici-pated in the cer-emony. The three were all

graduates of Ne-braska Wesleyan University and Per-kins School of The-ology at Southern Methodist Univer-sity and the sons of Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Bliss.The basic mini-

mum support price for the 1960 wheat crop in Jefferson County was $1.68 per bushel.

1973Lt. Commander

Donald R. Her-man completed his 500th landing aboard the aircraft Carrier Constella-tion. Son of Mr. and

Mrs. Floyd Herman of Wilber, Lt. Cmdr. Herman joined the Navy in 1959.

1979The independent

trucker’s strike and the diesel fuel shortage forced local truckers and fuel handlers to make adjustments in general opera-tions and in meet-ing the needs of their customersMrs. Calvin Slater,

Jayhusker Unit No. 377, Mahaska, was elected and installed as Dept.

Chaplain of the American Legion Auxiliary.

1980The first annual

men’s softball game with the middle-ag-ers (30-45) against the old-timers (46 and up) was played Sun., June 22, in Western at 2 p.m. in the Western City Park.

Ak-Sar-Ben con-tributed $500 for fairground im-provements.

2003Rail traffic

through Fairbury was halted for several hours the evening of Mon., June 23, as work-ers sandbagged the Union Pacific tracks underneath the Highway 136 overpass in an at-tempt to stop the rapidly rising Little Blue River from spilling over into Fairbury.

Commissioner’s Room Fairbury, NE June 18, 2019 The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners met as per notification of June 12, 2019 with Michael Dux, Gale Pohl-mann, commissioners, Mark Schoenrock, chairman, Kris-tina Riggle, county clerk, Gor-don Hopkins, Fairbury Journal News present. Meeting called to order at 9:00 a.m.It is noted that the open meeting act is posted on the wall at the back of the room.Pledge of Allegiance and reading of the minutes. Moved by Dux, seconded by Pohlmann to go into board of equalization at 9:08 a.m. with Mary Banahan, assessor. Call of vote: Dux, Pohlmann, Schoenrock voting aye. Nay none. Motion carried. Moved by Pohlmann, sec-onded by Dux to approve the Region V Services permis-sive exemption as stated on the application. Call of vote: Schoenrock, Dux, Pohlmann voting aye. Nay none. Motion carried. Banahan presented addi-tional over/under valuation change notices to be mailed out. Moved by Dux, seconded by Pohlmann to allow Banahan to mail out the additional over/under valuation change notic-es as presented. Call of vote: Pohlmann, Schoenrock, Dux voting aye. Nay none. Motion carried. Moved by Dux, seconded by Pohlmann to go out of board of equalization at 9:15 a.m. Call of vote: Schoenrock, Pohlmann, Dux voting aye. Nay none. Motion carried. Jason Eyer, highway super-visor, Terry Blas, highway supervisor assistant, Tim Farmer, highway superinten-dent, Trey Ertmer, SENDD, Ryan Parker, Endicott Clay Products present. Farmer presented preliminary cost comparisons to repair the existing east road from En-dicott Clay versus construct-ing a hard surface road to the west from Endicott Clay. The curve going west would require a design exception, but Farmer believes there is a high probability the excep-tion would be granted. There would need to be additional right of way acquired. Parker noted fixing the east route would require an increase in road maintenance on the west route during the repair of the east route and the east route is a bit shorter. The west route would be out of the flood plain and most trucks come down Highway 15 already. A plus would be a partial hard surface road to access Camp Jefferson. If the west route was constructed, loaded trucks would need to exit to the west and empty trucks could still use the east route. Ertmer discussed op-tions to help with funding the project. Ultimately, there would be three options to put together to provide partial funding, CDBG, Nebraska De-partment of Transportation and EDA. The County would have to provide match dollars and Endicott Clay Products would provide some of the base material for construc-tion. The current CDBG fund balance would have to be depleted before the State would provide any additional funding. Farmer will work on getting some solid figures to-gether and Ertmer will explore the funding. It was agreed to

discuss again at the July 16, 2019 meeting. Blas presented a permit for Wardcraft Homes to move a home through Jefferson County. Moved by Pohlmann, sec-onded by Dux to allow Ward-craft Homes to move a house through the County on the route presented on the ap-plication. Call of vote: Dux, Schoenrock, Pohlmann voting aye. Nay none. Motion car-ried. Farmer will explore the de-tails and coordinate a road closure hearing on 719 road between section 3 and 10 in Richland precinct. Leroy Bast, county trea-surer present to discuss the transfer of tax money to the highway department. It was agreed that $645,000 would be a good amount to transfer. This should leave adequate balances in General and Highway.Mark Schoenrock, chairman left at 10:10 a.m. and Kris-tina Riggle, county clerk left the meeting at 10:14 a.m. to attend a funeral. Rochelle Greenwood, depu-ty county clerk present at 10:14 a.m.Discussion of bridge match projects and the requests for updated schedules from the contractor.

the east route, be-cause that would be a stipulation of the EPA grant,” Farmer explained. “If you go west, ob-viously, the route's already out of the flood plain.”Farmer noted

that one curve going west would require a design exception. There is a pond nearby that location. “We couldn't get a 55 mile per hour curve to fit in there without a lot of environmental impacts.”He explained,

“That means we would have to go be-fore the board of clas-sifications and stan-dards with our plans and our justification for building that curve not to stan-dard. The justification would be costs.”Schoenrock asked,

“In you professional estimation, what's the probability of ap-proval for that exemp-tion?”“Very high,” Farmer

said.Commissioner Mi-

chael Dux asked, “Is there a safety issue there?”“It would have to be

posted,” Farmer re-sponded. “Forty miles an hour.”Ryan Parker, Presi-

dent and CEO of Endicott Clay Prod-ucts, was also pres-ent. He noted of the existing east route, “Well, certainly the

pluses going with the existing road is it's shorter. The downside with go-ing with the existing road is, if that were to be the route cho-sen, everything then gets rerouted on the west approach, com-ing in, and I can see a substantial amount of wear and main-tenance that would then be required on that, because we have thousands of semis plus all of our trucks going on that road.”Of the proposed west

route, he said, “The entire thing is out of the flood plain.”Ryan said, “As far as

the flow goes, for semi traffic, most of the traffic is coming down 15 and so you'd have the wear that we have now coming through Highway 8.”From a community

standpoint, it also gives you a paved

road 80 percent of the way to Camp Jeffer-son, which would be another benefit.Trey Ertmer, Eco-

nomic Develop-ment Specialist with SENDD, will explore possible sources for funding. Right now there are three pos-sible sources for the project; CDBG (Com-munity Development Block Grant), Ne-braska Department of Transportation and EDA (U.S. Economic Development Admin-istration). The current CDBG fund balance would have to be depleted before the State would provide any additional fund-ing. Jefferson County would provide match dollars.Endicott Clay Prod-

ucts has agreed to provide some of the materials for con-struction.
