Columbus High School (Nebraska)

Columbus High School (CHS) is a public high school in Columbus, Nebraska, United States. It is part of the Columbus Public Schools district. History 1883–1899 The first high school in Columbus came in 1883. The Williams High School was opened as the result of a $12,000 bond issue. 1899–1925 Columbus quickly outgrew Williams High. A new facility was built in 1898 for approximately $24,000. The building was called one of the "finest public schools to date" in Nebraska. An addition was added in 1904, and it was used as the high school until 1925 when it became Columbus Junior High School. The building was demolished in the late 1950s. 1925–1958 Kramer High School was built just west of the previous high school due to the extreme demand for more educational space. Officially dedicated in December 1925, Kramer High was named in honor of long-time school board president Carl Kramer, who had died in 1924. Additions came in 1951, 1961, 1965, and 1990. Kramer High served Columbus through 1958 when it became Columbus Junior High School and then Columbus Middle School in 1986. 1958–2017 A new Columbus High School opened in 1958. Constructed for around $1,500,000, the new Columbus High proved to be a much-needed way of modernizing Columbus. Columbus High was added onto in 1965, 1976, and 1988. A $17.6 million bond issue was passed in 2003 to renovate the high school. The renovation, which was completed in 2007, added several classrooms and an expansive media center. This building was later turned into Columbus Middle School following the 2017–18 school year after the high school moved into its new facility. 2017–present A new high school was constructed in 2017 with a bond that was approved in 2015. The new building has a state of the art STEM facility and many other things. Athletics Columbus High School is a member of the Nebraska School Activities Association and competes in the Heartland Athletic Conference.

Orpheum Theatre (Omaha)

The Orpheum Theater is a theater located in Omaha, Nebraska. The theater hosts programs best served by a more theatrical setting, including the Omaha Performing Arts Broadway Season, presented with Broadway Across America, and Opera Omaha's season. The theatre is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The main auditorium is a proscenium theater known as "Slosburg Hall". The theater has a theatre organ, made by Wurlitzer. History The current site of the building was previously home to the "Creighton Theater". John A. McShane organized a stock company to build the original theater in 1895. The architects for the original theater were Fisher & Lawrie and the general contractors were Rocheford & Gould. Paxton and Vierling installed the iron curtain that weighed 11 tons. The theater was named after John A. Creighton, a local philanthropist, and a large portrait of Count Creighton decorated the proscenium arch. The Creighton Theater was eventually added to the Orpheum Circuit, which by 1900 had expanded to nine western cities: Omaha, Chicago, Kansas City, New Orleans, Denver, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento. The reference to Creighton was eventually dropped from the theater's name. By 1926 a new, larger theater was in the works. The current space was built in 1926 on the same site as the original Creighton Theater, but with its entrance situated on 16th Street. When vaudeville acts were no longer in fashion, a screen was added and the theater operated as a downtown movie theater from the 1940s through 1971. A year later, the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben purchased the building and began a $2 million renovation and became a performing arts venue once again. In 2002, Omaha Performing Arts Society assumed management of the Orpheum Theater from the City of Omaha, and the Orpheum underwent a $10 million renovation, making it capable of accommodating larger and more complicated scenery and sets. The Skylink was added in 2004 for increased convenience and accessibility to the theater. The 200-foot-long elevated, enclosed and climate-controlled walkway connects the OPPD parking garage to the venue. In October 2013, the steel-letter marquee that was installed with the 1975 renovation was replaced with a digital electronic display board. The signage upgrades also included the installation of LED posters in the theater's lobby. During the summer of 2017, the theatre received a $3 million update, including paint, new carpeting and a refresh of seating.

Crow Butte

Crow Butte is a uranium mining operation located four miles (6 km) southeast of the city of Crawford in Dawes County, Nebraska, United States. Cameco Corporation owns and operates Crow Butte through its wholly owned subsidiary, Crow Butte Resources, Inc. History Crow Butte was the first uranium mine developed in Nebraska. It was discovered in 1980 and begin production in April 1991. It is a roll-front uranium deposit, mined using in-situ recovery (ISR). Due to weakening of the uranium market, production ceased in 2018. The project is under care and maintenance pending an improvement in uranium prices. Description At Crow Butte, uranium ore is mined in place underground in well fields. Uranium is extracted from basal Chadron Formation sandstone aquifers 400–800 feet (120–240 m) below the surface by the in-situ recovery process. A solution of water, oxygen and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is injected into the orebody, which liberates the uranium from its sandstone host and allows recovery by production wells. The solution is pumped to the surface and uranium is removed at the processing plant. The mine's processing plants and well fields have a licensed capacity of 2 million pounds per year. During 2015 Crow Butte produced 0.4 million pounds U3O8, 33% less than 2014, due to a declining head grade. Between 2002 and 2015, the Crow Butte operation produced 10.1 million pounds of U3O8. Resources As of 31 December 2019 the measured and indicated resources at Crow Butte were 13.9 million pounds of U3O8 at a grade of 0.25%. The developed uranium deposit at Crow Butte has been progressively depleted by production. License expansion To allow the mine plant to continue operating, three new expansion sites are under application for license review by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, all within several miles of the plant. Material from the three sites would be transported to the central plant at Crow Butte for final processing. In 2015, the Oglala Sioux Tribe lodged six objections with the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board against the expansion of the mine's operating license to include the Marsland Expansion Area (south of the current site), claiming Crow Butte was a sacred site and within their treaty territory. Construction at Marsland create surface disturbance of 600 acres, with future construction disturbing another 1,160 acres. Ownership The Crow Butte facility was originally developed by Wyoming Fuel Corporation in 1986 and subsequently acquired and operated by Ferret Exploration Company of Nebraska. In 1994, Ferret Exploration Company changed its name to Crow Butte Resources, Inc. In 1998 Crow Butte Resources was acquired by Cameco Resources Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of the Canadian company, Cameco Corporation. Cameco is the largest producer of uranium in the US, and accounts for 18% of global uranium production from its mines in Canada, the US and Kazakhstan. See also Sandstone uranium deposits References

Discovery Bridge (Yankton)

The Discovery Bridge is a bridge that carries US Route 81 across the Missouri River from the Nebraska border to the South Dakota border. The Discovery Bridge connects Yankton, South Dakota, with rural Cedar County, Nebraska. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was on October 11, 2008, a year ahead of schedule. During the ceremony John McAuliffe and Kevin Brown inadvertently cut the ribbon prior to photographers being in place and thus there is no commemorative photo. The bridge crosses over the Missouri National Recreational River, a Federally-protected Wild & Scenic River, managed by the National Park Service The Yankton SD Chamber of Commerce held a public contest to name the new bridge. The winning nomination would be the first public person to cross the bridge in a car the day of the bridge dedication. More than 300 names were submitted. The public was then asked to vote their choice from 10 finalists. The Discovery Bridge was the winning name submitted by David Spencer of Yankton, SD. The name is a reference to the Lewis and Clark expedition which was called the Corps of Discovery. History Construction began on the Discovery Bridge in June 2007. The bridge then opened on October 11, 2008, which was exactly 84 years after the dedication of the Meridian Highway Bridge. Now completed, the Discovery Bridge serves as a replacement for the Meridian Highway Bridge, which is about 1,000 feet (300 m) downstream. The bridge was a finalist in the 2009 America's Transportation Awards for "representing the best in innovative management, accountability and timeliness".

Big Springs, Nebraska

Big Springs är en småstad (village) i Deuel County i västra delen av den amerikanska delstaten Nebraska. Staden hade 400 invånare vid 2010 års federala folkräkning. Geografi Big Springs stadskärna är belägen nära det hörn av Colorado som skjuter in i sydvästra Nebraska, omkring 7 kilometer norr om delstatsgränsen på norra sidan av South Platte River. Affärsområdet omkring motorvägsavfarten vid Interstate 80 på flodens södra sida tillhör också staden administrativt. Omaha, Nebraska ligger omkring 550 km österut, Denver, Colorado omkring 310 km åt sydväst och Cheyenne, Wyoming omkring 240 km västerut. Historia Platsen kallades Lone Tree i mitten av 1800-talet, efter ett ensamt träd som stod här inom synhåll från nybyggarlederna Oregon Trail och California Trail samt Ponnyexpressens rutt. Enligt lokal tradition ska tågrånaren Sam Bass och hans gäng vid trädet 1877 delat upp bytet på 60 000 dollar efter ett rån mot Union Pacifics tåg. När den transamerikanska järnvägen först byggdes genom området 1867 byggdes en station med ett vattentorn här, fyllt från den lokala källan, och järnvägen kallade stationen för Big Springs. Vattentornet var i bruk fram tills ångloken på sträckan togs ur trafik på 1950-talet. 1884 lät järnvägen planlägga ett gatunät för en bosättning här. 1917 fick orten kommunalt självstyre som village. Under många år fanns en rivalitet mellan Big Springs och grannstaden Chappell om rollen som countyts huvudort, och från 1889 till 1932 hölls den regionala Deuel County Fair här innan den permanent flyttades till Chappell. Kommunikationer Big Springs ligger nära den plats där den öst-västliga kust-till-kust-motorvägen Interstate 80 och Interstate 76 mot Denver förgrenar sig. Genom ortskärnan går även den gamla landsvägen mot Denver U.S. Route 138 och strax norr om staden passerar den gamla öst-västliga landsvägen U.S. Route 30. Järnvägsbolaget Union Pacific har ända sedan ortens grundande bedrivit järnvägstrafik genom orten, idag endast med godstrafik.
