    3.0 Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences of the Alternatives

    Proposed Ambulatory Care Center FINAL Environmental Assessment NWIHCS Omaha VAMC January 2018 3.0 Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences of the Alternatives This section discusses environmental considerations for the project, the contextual setting of the affected environment, and impacts of the No-Action Alternative and Proposed Action. Aesthetics Definition of the Resource A visual resource is usually defined as an area of unique beauty that is a result of the combined characteristics of the natural aspects of land and human aspects of land use. Wild and scenic rivers, unique topography, and geologic landforms are examples of the natural aspects of land. Examples of human aspects of land use include scenic highways and historic districts. Visual resources can be regulated by management plans, policies, ordinances, and regulations that determine the types of uses that are allowable or protect specially designated or visually sensitive areas. Affected Environment The Omaha VAMC campus is in an urban setting within the City of Omaha. The campus abuts the Field Club golf course and Field Club Trail on the east, the Douglas County Health Department and Health Center to the north, residences of the Morton Meadows neighborhood on the west, and a major retail and commercial corridor along Center Street to the south including the Hanscom Park neighborhood (see Figure 1-2, also see zoning map Figure 3-6). The Omaha VAMC main campus consists of the main hospital building constructed in approximately 1950, various buildings support buildings, surface parking lots, and green space. Environmental Consequences 3.1.3.1 No-Action Alternative Under the No-Action Alternative, the visual aesthetics at the Omaha VAMC would remain unchanged.

JAMES THOMAS ALLAN.* James Thomas Allan, the only child of James and Jean Bowman Allan, was born in Pontiac, Oakland county, Michigan, Saturday September 30, 18;1l. J;-'rom his Scotch father he inherited a strong intellect and a tenac­ ityof opinion, which was chastened and refined by his more sympa­ thetic English mother, while from both he received a reverence and faith in a higher power, which in times of .dcepest gloom never wavered. His edumtion was principally in the academy of his native city. There he earned the reputation of a scholar, not only in the English branches, but also in the Greek and Latin languages, of which he was especially fond. To further satisfy his desire for knowledge, he taught school in Pontiac, after finishing at the academy. His parcnts had long cherished the idea of having thcir only son join the ministry, and for this purpose sent him at the agc of eighteen to Princeton.

    Abstract Self-Expressed Conditions, Expectations

    ABSTRACT SELF-EXPRESSED CONDITIONS, EXPECTATIONS, ASSUMPTIONS, AND EXPERIENCES OF THE ROSEBUD SIOUX IN THE WINNER, SOUTH DAKOTA, AREA THAT ARE OFFERED AS REASONS INDIVIDUALS OR HOUSEHOLDS DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN LOCAL CHURCHES by Ross Slade Reinhiller This dissertation repeats the survey used by the founders of the Willow Creek Community Church (South Barrington, Illinois) and adapted by Robert Gail Stoddard of Rainelle, West Virginia. The survey was conducted in the townships of Ideal and Lamro and the city of Winner, South Dakota, among the Rosebud Sioux Tribal members ascertaining self-expressed reasons for nonchurch participation. This study interviewed 103 people in ninety-seven households. This survey identified different conditions and expectations among the participants according to both age and gender. Among the elderly, chronic health concerns were the major reason for nonparticipation in local churches. The primary reason for nonparticipation among the fifty to sixty-nine-year-olds was the issue of prejudice. This prejudice is both historic and current and results in disillusionment and disaffectedness among the participants in the survey. Primary conditions and expectations expressed by forty to forty-nine-year-olds were the same as the fifty to sixty-nine-year- olds with the additional condition of addiction expressed. Within this age group, men identified racial identity as a major issue for nonparticipation in local churches. Thirty to thirty-nine year olds continued the themes of addiction and identified peer pressure or group acceptance as a reason for nonparticipation. Twenty to twenty-nine-year-olds expressed group identification but also added the enjoyment found in a culture based on partying.

    A Proud Past - A Bright Future The Omaha Nation Visits Bellevue April 11, 2007 The ceremony on Wednesday, April 11, 2007, commemorated the restoration of the graves of Omaha Chief Big Elk, Susan Fontenelle Neals, Lucien and Meumbane Fontenelle, and over 1,000 military graves. It was a celebration of a chapter in history that unites us. In the spring, 2006, Logan Fontenelle, Dr. John Deegan, and Phil Kaldahl began working together to develop a further understanding of the history of the Bellevue/Offutt Community. Mr. Fontenelle, great, great, great grandson of Chief Big Elk, visited Bellevue’s secondary schools and began speaking to the Bellevue Board of Education and students about the role Chief Big Elk and the Omaha Nation played in the development of the community. Bellevue students decided to raise funds to help restore the gravestone of Chief Big Elk, add a gravestone for Susan Fontenelle Neals, granddaughter to Chief Big Elk, add a bench with the abbreviated history, and add a stone for Chief Logan Fontenelle at Fontenelle Forest. Mission and Logan Fontenelle Middle School students and Bellevue East and Bellevue West High Schools FBLA students raised $3,000 for the project. There are over 1,000 military veterans buried in the Bellevue Cemetery. The Bellevue Public Schools and City of Bellevue worked together to clean up and reset the stones. The Bellevue East and Bellevue West High Schools AFJROTC worked with Todd Addison and members of the City of Bellevue in the clean up project. The History that Unites Us Omaha Chief Big Elk, U.
