    STATISTICS: HISTORY 677 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.

    WELCOME Dear Colleagues: Thank you for joining us at the prestigious 17th National Conference and Global Forum on Science, Policy, and the Environment: Integrating Environment and Health, organized by the National Council for Science and the Environment. In 2007, the 7th NCSE Conference explored environmental and human health connections. Much has transpired since then, both in the scientific community and in the application of science. During that time, cutting-edge research has been published and policy-related initiatives have been launched that place greater emphasis on emerging issues and innovative solutions. Leaders in the public and private sectors are focusing on pioneering research, new methods of communication and education, and non-traditional approaches. This year’s conference on integrating environment and health will discuss over 20 topics where environment and health interface, including environmental and social justice, water quality and quantity, reducing impacts of toxic chemicals, extreme weather and resilience, ecosystem impacts, the food-energy-water nexus, public education, risk assessment, and many more. Join your colleagues in science, technology, government, business, civil society, and education to explore the complex and interconnected challenges in environment and health; discuss cutting-edge issues; consider new technologies and best practices; and develop solutions for policy and practice. Sincerely, The Core Planning Group for the 2017 NCSE National Conference and Global Forum Michelle Wyman Dr. David Blockstein, Shelley Kossak Dr. John Balbus National Council for Science and the National Council for Science and the National Institute for Environmental Environment Environment Health Sciences Dr. Karim Ahmed Surili Sutaria Patel Dr. Patricia Gowaty University of Connecticut Health Center American Public Health Association University of California - Los Angeles Dr.

To these Libraries I express my appreciation. Unfortunately I cannot express my gratitude to the late Professor uieter Cunz. With his untimely death I lost both a friend and counsellor. Professor Cunz was the author of The Maryland Germans, numerous articles on German immigrants and was an authority in the area of German-American studies. He was interested in this paper from its inception to its completion and offered invaluable suggestions and constructive criticism s, mixed with generous doses of encouragement in time of need. Without his help and guidance this study could not have been completed. I have also incurred a special debt of gratitude to Professor Wolfgang Fleischhauer, who generously offered to accept the responsibilities of this work in the final stages of preparation. For this gesture, which was truly "beyond the call of duty" I express my sincerest thanks.
