News Briefs:

Getting across Norfolk will get a little more challenging beginning Monday, June 4th. While work continues on the reconstruction of 25th Street, Norfolk Public Works Director Dennis Smith says a resurfacing project will get underway on 13th Street/Highway 81 from Sherwood Road, north to Pasewalk Avenue. He says the work will take the better part of the summer. Department of Roads officials will hold an informational open house to discuss the project with the public. It will be held Wednesday evening at 5:30 at the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce.

 

You may be hearing Jazz and the Blues in Norfolk's Skyview Park. The Norfolk Noon Rotary Club is proposing a series of four evening concerts next to the lake beginning in June. The Club's Josh Wolfe told the City Council Monday night, if the city approves, adults who attend would be allowed to bring in alcohol to the event, except July 7th, during the Big Bang Boom's Independence Day celebration. Those imbibing would be in a confined area and security would monitor what would come into the park and in that area. No one spoke in opposition and several Council members said it's a good idea. No action was taken on the request last night.

 

It doesn't look like Nebraskans will see a debate between U.S. Senate candidates Deb Fischer and Bob Kerrey early next month. Kerrey, the Democrat, had accepted an invitation by the American Legion Cornhusker Boys State and Girls State to debate on June 5 in Lincoln. But the campaign for Republican Fischer said she has a conflict. Fischer's campaign manager says the campaign wasn't given enough time to plan for the debate, but says she is looking forward to debating Kerrey later as the November election nears.
