Newsflash [email protected]308-345-5400 www.highplainsradio.net CHIP SEAL/FOG SEAL PROJECT TO BEGIN Weather permitting, a chip seal/fog seal project will begin Monday on US‑6, according to the Nebraska Department of Roads. Chip seal is an application of emulsified oil to the roadway surface followed by an application of aggregate. State maintenance forces will be doing the chip seal on US-6 from Arapahoe to Cambridge. The work is an- ticipated to take approximately 10 days. Traffic will be maintained using flaggers and a pilot vehicle. Motorists should expect to see de- lays and are reminded to drive cautiously through highway work zones. Weather permitting, asphalt resurfacing work is scheduled to begin Monday on N-18, according to the Nebraska Department of Roads. State maintenance crews will be resurfacing 1.5 miles of road- way on N-18, east of Stockville. This project is anticipated to be com- pleted in five days. The Nebraska Department of Roads’ contact is Kerry Scott of McCook. Motorists are asked to drive cautiously through construction zones. LEGISLATION REMAINS IN PROGRESS Congressman Adrian Smith insists healthcare legislation remains in process with much work to do before agreement is reached on a final bill. Senate Republicans have released the outline of their proposed replacement of the Affordable Care Act. Smith, a Republican, says if discussions between the Senate and the House remain on point pro- gress can be made. “We need to keep the focus on affordable access for everyone, certainly including those with pre-existing conditions,” Smith tells Nebraska reporters during a conference call. Smith declines to give an assessment of the Senate measure and says he hopes Sen- ate and House negotiators can work out a measure which can pass Congress. He says he and his staff are reading the Senate pro- posal. Still, Smith leaves no doubt that he favors the repeal and re- placement of the Affordable Care Act signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010. “We were elected and re-elected recently to repeal Obamacare and Obamacare was passed with a group of tax increases that I think have been economically punitive,” according to Smith. Smith says the make-up of the ACA has made its replacement part of the discussion on tax reform. NEBRASKA FARMERS CAN GET FUNDING Nebraska farmers who need help controlling erosion can get funding through the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Brad Soncksen, the agency’s assistant state conservationist for programs, says EQIP (Environmental Quality Incentives Program) dollars can be used to in- stall farming practices that control ephemeral gullies. Those are small ditches that stem from concentrated flow on fields. Soncksen says, “We are able to use some of our funding that we get through EQIP to assist those producers who want to install practices such as waterways or even use some cover crops or no-till contour farming, buffer strips and those kinds of practices.”Interested producers should apply at their county NRCS office as the apps go through a ranking process to deter- mine which projects get funded.“We set aside $150,000 for the state for this and once we get applications in, we’ll assess that and see if there’s a possibility to add more,” Soncksen says. “We want to help as many producers as we can.”Soncksen says the goal is to get the up- grades or repairs in place within a year once a project is green- lighted.
