  • The Faces of Post 41
    THE FACES OF POST 41 South Phoenix Latinos fight for their country abroad, battle for their civil rights at home Part I: Setting the stage By Charles H. Sanderson Setting the Stage 1 The Faces of Post 41: Setting the stage Anglo arrival “Any city however small, is in fact divided into two, one the city of the poor, the other of the rich. These are at war with one another.” – Plato, Greek philosopher othing begins out of a vacuum in society. Events build slowly into the Nnext defining moment. The formation of American Legion Post 41 is no different. Its existence, its purpose and its fight against segregation; these all existed because of the early storyline that formed the U.S. territory of Arizona, and later, the state. In 1861, a majority of Anglo settlers to reach the region were military men sent to protect mining interests against Apache raiding parties.1 Mexican families were also migrating north into the central valleys of Arizona from Tucson and northern Sonora throughout the 1850s and 1860s to set up farms and cattle ranches.2 Then, almost as soon as it had been obtained by the U.S., the region was left to fend for itself. As the Civil War detonated in April 1861, troops began to pull to the east for battle, under orders from President Abraham Lincoln. Apache Indians increased their attacks on vulnerable new settlements, ranches and mining operations across the upper Sonoran Desert, momentarily spurred in the belief they had caused the military departure.3 Arizona was then part of New Mexico, but too isolated to depend on its cities for protection.

  • Hillsboro 2020 Vision and Action Plan Originally Adopted by the Hillsboro City Council in May 2000
    Vision and Action Plan Revised August 2010 January 1, 2011 On behalf of the Hillsboro 2020 Vision Implementation Committee (VIC), it is my pleasure to present this update of the Hillsboro 2020 Vision and Action Plan originally adopted by the Hillsboro City Council in May 2000. The current version of the report incorporates all Action Plan changes made since May 2000 and new community priorities identified during last year’s Strategy Review process. To ensure the Hillsboro 2020 Vision and Action Plan continues to serve as a relevant and effective guide for shaping our future, the citizen-lead Vision Implementation Committee (VIC) conducts periodic “tune-ups.” As our population changes over time, so do our resources, goals and priorities. To keep the community vision on track, it is important to adapt to the current environment while keeping our focus on the end goal - a community all of us, and future generations, are proud to call home. To this end, the VIC has established several formal processes by which the public and our partners can amend or update the Action Plan. The VIC reviews and, if appropriate, recommends minor modifications to the Action Plan on an annual basis. If submitted, new action proposals are also considered annually. Every five years, the VIC also conducts a major Strategy Review process to actively solicit new ideas or necessary refinements. To help preserve the integrity of the original plan, which was developed with extensive community involvement, this process includes a city-wide citizen outreach effort to solicit and review new proposals for implementing the original Vision Statement.
