  • Our County, Our Story; Portage County, Wisconsin
    Our County Our Story PORTAGE COUNTY WISCONSIN BY Malcolm Rosholt Charles M. White Memorial Public LibrarJ PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STEVENS POINT, \VISCONSIN 1959 Copyright, 1959, by the PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AT WORZALLA PUBLISHING COMPANY STEVENS POINT, WISCONSIN FOREWORD With the approach of the first frost in Portage County the leaves begin to fall from the white birch and the poplar trees. Shortly the basswood turns yellow and the elm tree takes on a reddish hue. The real glory of autumn begins in October when the maples, as if blushing in modesty, turn to gold and crimson, and the entire forest around is aflame with color set off against deeper shades of evergreens and newly-planted Christmas trees. To me this is the most beautiful season of the year. But it is not of her beauty only that I write, but of her colorful past, for Portage County is already rich in history and legend. And I share, in part, at least, the conviction of Margaret Fuller who wrote more than a century ago that "not one seed from the past" should be lost. Some may wonder why I include the names listed in the first tax rolls. It is part of my purpose to anchor these names in our history because, if for no other reas­ on, they were here first and there can never be another first. The spellings of names and places follow the spellings in the documents as far as legibility permits. Some no doubt are incorrect in the original entry, but the major­ ity were probably correct and since have changed, which makes the original entry a matter of historic significance.

    Does every relationship have an expiration date? GENERAL OVERVIEW 1 SYNOPSIS DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT BIOS – TEAM BIOS – TALENT LOCATIONS SCENE SHOOTS 2 PMA. Entertainment Marketing & PR Sell By is a romantic comedy about a group of friends navigating love, life, and relationships as they reach the mid-point. At the heart of the story is Adam (Scott Evans), a talented painter now stuck ghost painting for successful contemporary artist, Ravella Brewer (Patricia Clarkson). He and Marklin (Augustus Prew) are at the five-year mark of their relationship. They don't have kids, they're not married, and are face to face with the existential question “Is that all there is?” Their friend circle is confronting the same question in a whole host of ways: Elizabeth (Kate Walsh), Adam’s best friend, is at the 15 year mark of her marriage, ready to bail when she discovers her husband’s inappropriate text relationship with a younger woman; friend Cammy (Michelle Buteau) is dating Henry (Colin Donnell), but they never leave the house; Haley (Zoe Chao) is trying to figure out if her feelings for Scott James (Christopher Gray) are maternal or something more. Everyone’s a bit of a mess, but at the same time eternally optimistic at finding new ways to make things work. Sell By has heart, humor, and takes a very realistic look at romance -- fusing together the communal charm of a movie like The Big Chill unfolding in front of the gorgeous backdrop of New York City. www.pma.media 3 PMA.

Data was obtained from psychotherapy sessions with seven women who were diagnosed as clinically depressed. The sessions were raidiotaped and then transcribed. The transcripts were analyzed using Van Manen's approach. Several interesting themes emerged from these transcripts: (a) living environment, (b) experience of time, (c) intimate relationships, (d) the body out of balance, (e) language, (f) medication, (g) symptoms, (h) distortions of thought, (i) telling the story, (j) from victim to survivor, and (k) coping strategies.

Four hypotheses were tested concerning the rela- tionships among ten variables. The independent variable was viewing; the intervening variable was perceived reality; and the dependent variables were knowledge of program con- tent, involvement, interaction, identification, companion- ship, escapism, boredom, and social utility. The following are hypotheses tested in this study: H1: The higher the amount of viewing, the greater the perceived reality. H2: The higher the amount of viewing, the more knowledge the viewer will have about program content. Mitzi Bond H3: The higher the amount of viewing, the greater the viewer's involvement, inter- action, and identification. H4: The higher the amount of viewing, the more functions watching soap operas will satisfy. A telephone survey was conducted in Lansing, Michigan, in August, 1974.
