Letter from State Representative Ron Tusler regarding Calumet County Board Resolution 2016-18 relating to County Veterans Service Office Grants. 4. UW-Oshkosh County Board Supervisor Training Survey (hard copies will be handed out at the Board Meeting). SHEBOYGAN COUNTY Thomas G. Wegner Adam N. Payne Chairman of the Board County Administrator Date: July 8, 2016 To: Sheboygan County Board of Supervisors From: Chairman Tom Wegner Re: Sheboygan County’s Transportation Proposal A safe and reliable transportation system is essential for a community to prosper and our quality of life. Due to limited resources, the State, Sheboygan County and all local units of government are struggling to adequately maintain our transportation system. If we want to attract and retain good employers, enhance tourism, and be fiscally responsible, we must address this challenge. The life span of an asphalt road overlay is approximately 15 years. In order to maintain 450 miles of County roads to adequate standards, 30 miles of road should be paved each year. However, over the past five years, Sheboygan County has not had sufficient resources to do so, and on average, has paved approximately 18 miles per year. The County is also responsible for maintaining 73 bridges, with the oldest being constructed in 1916. -

2003 Conference Abstracts
African Studies Roberto Cordova, Ph.D., University of Northern Colorado Hermon George, Jr., Ph.D., University of Northern Colorado "Cooperation Between People of Color in an Age of Deracia1ization: The Case of the Black/Latino Coalition of the University of Northern Colorado (UNC), c.1982-2002" Much of the analysis of recent Afro-American/Latino relations has centered upon the electoral arena in large urban areas (e.g., Romo, 1990; Browning, Marshall, and Tabb, 1990; Jennings, 1997; Franklin and Seltzer, 2002). The chances for cooperation between these two groups in this setting is said to depend upon political mobilization for economic (e.g., low wage jobs) and political (e.g., government employment) resources. However, in our study, a non-electora1 arena- a university campus -is the locus of a study of a two decades old Afro- American/Latino coalition, the Black/Latino Coalition (BLC). After establishing four factors that account for this coalition's persistence and success (leadership, agenda, adversarial accountability, and absence of direct economic or political competition between coalition partners), a periodization of the BLC's history is offered. The study concludes with a summation of the BLC's major victories and defeats, and of the BLC's success as a measure of the prospects for black/brown cooperation in an age of deracialization. Foster K. Amey, Middle Tennessee State University AFRICAN FEMALE IMMIGRANTS IN THE US LABOR FORCE Several studies have examined the dynamics of labor force participation among immigrants in the labor markets of advanced economies such us the United States, Canada, and Australia. Particular attention has been focused on the role of female immigrants in light of the real and perceived hostile nature of the labor market in these countries to their peculiar positions as women and immigrants. -

United States Army Scouts: the Southwestern
3-/71 UNITED STATES ARMY SCOUTS: THE SOUTHWESTERN EXPERIENCE, 1866-1890 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Carol Conley Nance, B. A. Denton, Texas May, 1975 Nance, Carol Conley, United States Army Scouts: The Southwestern Experience, 1866-1890. Master of Arts (History), May, 1975, 156 pp., 4 maps, bibliography, 107 titles. In the post-Civil War Southwest, the United States Army utilized civilians and Indians as scouts. As the mainstay of the reconnaissance force, enlisted Indians excelled as trackers, guides, and fighters. General George Crook became the foremost advocate of this service. A little-known aspect of the era was the international controversy created by the activities of native trackers under the 1882 recipro- cal hot pursuit agreement between Mexico and the United States. Providing valuable information on Army scouts are numerous government records which include the Annual Report of the Secretary of War from 1866 to 1896 and Foreign Relations of the United States for 1883 and 1886. Memoirs, biographies, and articles in regional and national histori- cal journals supplement government documents. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF MAPS . iv Chapter I.

Comanchero JOSE PIEDAD TAFOYA, 1834-1913 Thomas Merlan and Frances Levine ose Piedad Tafoya is generally known as a comanchero who traded with Jthe Native people of the Southern Plains during the mid- to late nine teenth century. Born in a New Mexican village on the then far northern frontier of Mexico, he died in a village scarcely twenty-five miles away in the new U.S. state ofNew Mexico. The label comanchero, however, was an inadequate description of Tafoya, for he was also an army scout, farmer, rancher, man of property, and family man. Later, like a number of his New Mexican contemporaries who observed the changing character of territo rial New Mexico, he sent his son to be educated at St. Michael's College in Santa Fe. The purpose here is not only to review an<;l supplement the facts ofTafoya's life as a comanchero but to offer a biographical essay on a man whose life spanned two major economic and cultural networks. -
Notes and Documents the Texas Frontier in 1850: Dr. Ebenezer Swift
Notes and Documents The Texas Frontier in 1850: Dr. Ebenezer Swift and the View From Fort Martin Scott by: CALEB COKER AND JANET G. HUMPHREY The Texas Frontier in 1850 was guarded by a line of army forts ranging from Fort Worth to Fort Duncan near Eagle Pass. With the end of the Mexican War, settlers had begun pushing toward the Texas interior, and troops became available to furnish new towns some measure of protection from raiding bands of Indians. 1 Fort Martin bScott, established between the towns of Fredericksburg and Zodiac in December 1848, was one such military post. The letter reproduced here, from the fort's physician, provides a marvelous glimpse of frontier Texas in 1850. It includes candid descriptions of a farm in Austin, life at the fort, and relationships with the local Indians. Native Americans living in the vicinity of Fort Martin Scott belonged to a number of tribes. The least predictable and most feared, however, were the Comanches. White settlements disrupted their wide-ranging lifestyle and threatened the abundant supply of game. In the mid-1840s their primary tactic was to attack settlers in small raiding parties and then vanish, often taking with them horses and other livestock. These hit-and-run assaults terrorized those on the frontier for decades.2 The Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas had purchased 10,000 acres of forested land just north of the Pedernales River on Barron's Creek in December 1845. By the following May, settlers began arriving from New Braunfels at the town site named Fredericksburg.
