Women worked in factories during World War I, and Wahe had several jobs after graduating from Rock Island High School, including at Woolworth's, a hamburger restaurant and a Singer sewing machine store. But after marrying her husband Vern, who already had a job at the Arsenal, she hired on, too, in the summer of 1942, in the transportation department to drive shop "mules" on second shift. "They were hiring that summer cause of course the Arsenal was growing and growing and growing," she said in a 2012 interview conducted as an oral history project about the WWII homefront by Augustana College.

Davenport Kicks Off Military Appreciation Week The City of Davenport is celebrating Military Appreciation Week this week, May 12-18, with banners proclaiming the event at City Hall, on downtown street lights, and several parks and city facilities. May is Military Appreciation Month nationwide. The Davenport City Council officially signed the proclamation at its meeting on May 8. Mayor Frank Klipsch and Alderman Mike Matson, 7th Ward, presented the proclamation to Michael Hutchison, Deputy to the Commander, Army Sustainment Command, and Col. Scot Doboszenski, Deputy Chief of Staff, Army Sustainment Command. The proclamation recognizes and celebrates veterans and active military and their families who work at facilities like Rock Island Arsenal, play an important role in the support of these service members, the strength of the United States and its promise of freedom, and the success of the Quad-City region as a whole. Throughout the week, Davenport is offering a number of perks to active members of the military, veterans, and their families. The City is providing free green fees at its three golf courses, Emeis, Duck Creek, and Red Hawk, to veterans and active duty military and their families during the week. Veterans, military, and their families can also ride CitiBus free during Military Appreciation Week. The Quad City River Bandits will provide up to four free tickets to active service members and veterans The contents of the Island Insight are not necessarily the official views of, or endorsed by, the U.S. Government, the Department of Defense, or the Department of the Army.

The Figge Art Museum offers free admission to all military and their families year-round. Army Demonstrates Extended Ranges for Precision Munitions The Army recently demonstrated extended ranges for the guided multiple launch rocket system, and two 155mm cannon artillery precision munitions. Aligning with the Army's top priority -- Long- Range Precision Fires --- these changes support the force's need for both close and deep-strike capabilities against a near-peer adversary. Last fall, the Army conducted demonstrations of the new XM1113 and Excalibur M982 munitions from a prototype Extended Range Cannon Artillery, or ERCA self-propelled howitzer. The XM1113 Insensitive Munition High Explosive Rocket Assisted Projectile is slated to replace the Army's aging M549A1 rounds. Currently, the M549 rounds can reach about 30 km.

Thank You for Supporting SAAPM, SHARP April 2019 was full of events supporting the Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) Program and highlighting Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM). On the last day of the month, individuals and groups across Rock Island Arsenal wore teal, the symbolic color of the SHARP program. Many joined together for photos, which were submitted to the event organizers. It may seem like a simple thing, but this annual Teal Tuesday event empowers supporters to show their commitment to making the workplace a safe and respectful environment. No individual or group is too small or insignificant.

  • Moline Bikeways Plan
    MOLINE BIKEWAYS PLAN REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE MOLINE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION TEAM (MATT) Mayor Don Welvaert Jeff Anderson Laura Duran John Knaack Donnie Miller Mike Crotty Rod Hawk Dean Mathias Dan Osterman Doug DeLille Scott Hinton Dan McNeil Kevin Schoonmaker March 2011 REPORT SUMMARY In June of 2010, Moline Mayor Don Welvaert appointed the Moline Alternative Transportation Team (MATT). This city and citizen group was charged with making recommendations related to improving bicycling and walking in the community. One of the first efforts identified by MATT was development of the Moline Bikeways Plan. This plan is intended to provide a blueprint for developing a system of connected bicycle routes throughout the city and adjoining cities to encourage bicycling as a means of enhancing the community quality of life, supporting development efforts, promoting healthful activity, and reducing the city’s carbon footprint. The Moline Alternative Transportation Team recommends the following: That Moline’s Bikeways Plan compliments and enhances Moline’s Comprehensive Plan; and That the Quad Cities Area “Complete Streets” Policy shall be the guiding philosophy of the bikeways plan; and That the bikeways system identified will ultimately place each and every resident and business within a half-mile of a bikeway; and That as the location of the Quad City International Airport, and the proposed passenger rail station Moline should provide bicycle access and amenities to these facilities for all QC residents and visitors; and That the city pursue Bicycle Friendly Community, Business, and University designations as awarded by the League of American Bicyclists; and That Moline’s Bikeways Plan shall be submitted for inclusion in 2040 Quad Cities Area Long Range Transportation Plan.

  • A Brief History of the Davenport Levee Improvement Commission Davenport, Iowa (1952)
    A Brief History of the Davenport Levee Improvement Commission Davenport, Iowa (1952) The ordinance creating the Davenport Levee Improvement Commission was originally adopted on May 17, 1911. The first Commission was appointed in June 1911 by Mayor A.C. Mueller, who, by ordinance, was the Chairman of the Commission. The first members of the Commission were: W.D. Petersen, merchant and philanthropist, W.H. Kimball, consulting engineer, R.J. Clausen, architect, and A.M. Compton, City Engineer. Later, members of the Commission have all been responsible businessmen who serve without pay. They have been appointed on a staggered basis which has resulted in a smooth working organization which has always had members experienced in the work of the Commission in its roster. At one of the early meetings of the Commission, the following statement, made by Mr. W.H. Kimball, typifies the feeling of responsibility and the vision which existed in the Commission’s membership from the very beginning and which has guided all of the actions of the members ever since. “The first Levee Improvement Commission has a great responsibility. We are, so to speak, pioneers in this new civic undertaking, and the path which we will blaze must be such that all future Commissions can carry the work of developing Davenport’s riverfront to a successful conclusion. I suggest that we develop a comprehensive plan for our ultimate riverfront improvements so that this work can be carried on by this and all future Commissions in an efficient and economical way with the ultimate goal of an economically useful and a beautiful riverfront.” An interesting commentary on the work of the Commission is found in the fact that Major General Lansing H.
