Janet Takami In Who's Who Bridge Span To Ih* Placed During the week of March 11-17, the Fremont Bridge cen­ ter span, weighing more than 6,000 tons and stretching 902 feet in length, will be floated upstream from its present site at the Port of Borland's Swan Island Industrial Park and lif­ ted into its place between the existing approaches. The entire operation--float, positioning, and jacking--pro­ mises to be one of the most complex and ambitious en­ gineering efforts undertaken in the history of bridge building. The plans have attracted wide­ spread interest. Front row from left, is Peter Imhoff, Gale Christensen and Dan McGinnis. Hack row, Vern Hancock, worthy president, Ad­ rian Wegner, Dick Butcher, Jerry Huntley and Curtis Reece, Valley Community College Ad­ ministration Building, Aiken School, Pioneer School, Cairo School, Harper School, Vale High School, Adrian Grade School, Annex School, Hun- 5.tigton School, Nyssa Primary School, and Willowcreek School. The budget proposed will operate at a rate of $2.39, rais­ ing $659,291 dollars, an in­ crease of 65j over the current year’s requirement. The pro­ posal reflects several changes from the current year opera­ tion. First the estimated FTE enrollment for the coming year is 1040, an increase of 15 FTE. Second, the figure in­ cludes a 6.5$ increase for col­ lege employees, inclusive of increment, raise and fringe benefits. Third, a portion of the budget adjustment accounts for increases in employer con­ tributions to Social Security and Public Employment System set by state and federal legislation. Fourth, funds are included for two vocational programs which have been proposed to the state. These programs are Body and Fender Repair, and Veterinary Technician. Based on studies of both student interest and area employment opportunities, these would be valuable addi­ tions to the college curricula both for the college and the Treasure Valley area. The bud­ get proposal contains funds for equipment, supplies and sala­ ries necessary to implement these programs. TOM MOORE BSC PRIMARY WINNER Janet Takami, 20 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.Sonny Takami of Nyssa was one ofthe students to be honored. She is an art major, and a 1971 graduate of Nyssa High School.
