A month from now the citizens of Elmwood will go to the polls and vote for three new Village Board members. A lot of you will be voting by absentee ballot so you may have already received it.

Two people have filed to run for office so their names will be on the ballot…one incumbent, Miki Bruns, and one former Village Board member who has a passion to serve again, Pat Wray. Brandon Collins and I have opted not to run again. I plan to continue working on projects that we have started though.

One person that I know of has stepped up to be a write-in candidate. Rebecca (Becky) Kicak, has been involved with many Village projects and committees in Elmwood in the last few years.

She has attended board meetings and is interested in serving on the Village Board. I would encourage you to vote for Becky, Miki, and Pat. They have the village’s best interests in mind.

The Elmwood Public Library’s website now has a customized feature that will help you in your job search!

Our staff worked closely with Nebraska’s Department of Labor and created a customized browser button that will scour Elmwood and a 50-mile radius for all available jobs posted on the state’s labor website.

Visit the following site

http://libraries.ne.gov/elmwood/nebraska-resources/

Look for the blue and yellow button labeled, “Local Jobs.” Single click on the button and you’re taken straight to a list. When we last checked, there were over 5,300 jobs (full-time and part-time) that came up!

You can do a narrower search and find local jobs within 10 miles of Elmwood too. You may be surprised to see what comes up. Does anyone want to deliver for Amazon during the holidays?

Work on N-63 Alvo North Realignment

March 15, 2018 (Lincoln, Neb.) — Weather permitting, work is scheduled to continue the week of March 19 on N-63, between Alvo and I-80, according to the Nebraska Department of Transportation.

Knife River, LLC of Sioux City, Iowa has the $11,758,926 contract. Work will include realignment of N‑63, culverts and box culverts, and wetland mitigation. This will be the second of two phases of work.

During this phase, N-63 will be closed to traffic from Reference Post 4+20 (Alvo) to Reference Post 9+68 (Church Road). A marked detour will be in place along I-80 to N-66 to N-50 to US-34 for southbound traffic and along US-34 to N-50 to N-66 to I-80 for northbound traffic. This portion of the project is anticipated to be completed in November 2018.

The Department’s project manager is Jesse De Los Santos of Lincoln. Motorists are reminded to drive cautiously through work zones and along detours.
