(Mead & Hunt) conducted an intensive survey to identify historic resources of the City of Oshkosh (City) that have the potential for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register). The survey focused on selected areas of the city and property types identified by the City. The survey also reevaluated the National Register eligibility of 154 properties previously identified in the 1981 Intensive Historic Resource Survey for the City of Oshkosh. During the fieldwork phase of the project, Mead & Hunt identified and surveyed a total of 483 individual properties for inclusion in the Wisconsin Historic Properties Database (WHPD). During the evaluation phase, five historic districts, 24 individual properties, and four religious complexes were found to meet National Register Criteria and are recommended for listing in the National Register. The survey report documents the results of historical research, field investigations, and evaluation of surveyed properties. The report highlights the following elements of this effort: • Survey methodology. • Criteria used to evaluate eligibility of properties in the City. • A discussion of historic themes related to surveyed properties, based on Cultural Resource Management in Wisconsin, prepared by the Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS). • Summary of previous survey efforts within the delineated survey areas, including properties that have been listed in the National Register. • Description and evaluation of properties and historic districts recommended as eligible for the National Register. • Future historic preservation recommendations. X:\15073-00\05001\TECH\RPTS\WPC\060530A.DOC A-i Section 1 Introduction 1. Introduction The City of Oshkosh (City) retained Mead & Hunt, Inc. (Mead & Hunt) to conduct an intensive survey of selected areas and property types and prepare a report highlighting survey results and recommendations concerning properties eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register). The survey was completed in 2005 by principal investigator Emily Pettis with assistance from Shannon Dolan. Pettis meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for Architectural History and History, which qualifies her to make National Register eligibility recommendations. The City identified specific areas and specific property types for inclusion in the survey. The Historic Survey Boundaries map identifies the defined survey areas. Some of the survey areas overlapped with each other and some of the specific property types were included within the defined survey areas. The City also invited the public to identify properties for inclusion in the survey. A complete list of the survey areas, property types, and properties identified by the public is included in Appendix A. The intensive survey achieved its goals of identifying properties that possess architectural or historical significance and reevaluating resources documented in previous surveys. The completion of this survey report supports the City’s ongoing preservation initiatives by providing additional historic contexts and identifying recommendations for National Register listing. In addition to the intensive survey, Mead & Hunt completed a reevaluation of 154 previously surveyed properties to assess National Register eligibility. The reevaluation effort was limited to exterior field inspection, with the exception of five properties, which received interior review or intensive-level research to determine eligibility.

    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.

    November 7, 2014 Laura Lovrien Liberty Publishers Services Orbital Publishing Group P.O. Box 2489 White City, OR 97503 Re: Cease and Desist Distribution of Deceptive Subscription Notices Dear Ms. Lovrien: The undersigned represent the Newspaper Association of America (“NAA”), a nonprofit organization that represents daily newspapers and their multiplatform businesses in the United States and Canada. It has come to our attention that companies operating under various names have been sending subscription renewal notices and new subscription offers to both subscribers and non-subscribers of various NAA member newspapers. These notices falsely imply that they are sent on behalf of a member newspaper and falsely represent that the consumer is obtaining a favorable price. In reality, these notices are not authorized by our member newspapers, and often quote prices that far exceed the actual subscription price. We understand that the companies sending these deceptive subscription renewal notices operate under many different names, but that many of them are subsidiaries or affiliates of Liberty Publishers Services or Orbital Publishing Group, Inc. We have sent this letter to this address because it is cited on many of the deceptive notices. Liberty Publishers Services, Orbital Publishing Group, and their corporate parents, subsidiaries, and other affiliated entities, distributors, assigns, licensees and the respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing, including but not limited to the entities listed in Attachment A (collectively, “Liberty Publishers Services” and/or “Orbital Publishing Group”), are not authorized by us or any of our member newspapers to send these notices. Our member newspapers do not and have not enlisted Liberty Publishers Services or Orbital Publishing Group for this purpose and Liberty Publishers Services and Orbital Publishing Group are not authorized to hold themselves out in any way as agents who can process payments from consumers to purchase subscriptions to our member newspapers.

    December 4, 2017 The Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20230 Re: Uncoated Groundwood Paper from Canada, Inv. Nos. C–122–862 and A-122-861 Dear Secretary Ross: On behalf of the thousands of employees working at the more than 1,100 newspapers that we publish in cities and towns across the United States, we urge you to heavily scrutinize the antidumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC) regarding uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, the paper used in newspaper production. We believe that these cases do not warrant the imposition of duties, which would have a very severe impact on our industry and many communities across the United States. NORPAC’s petitions are based on incorrect assessments of a changing market, and appear to be driven by the short-term investment strategies of the company’s hedge fund owners. The stated objectives of the petitions are flatly inconsistent with the views of the broader paper industry in the United States. The print newspaper industry has experienced an unprecedented decline for more than a decade as readers switch to digital media. Print subscriptions have declined more than 30 percent in the last ten years. Although newspapers have successfully increased digital readership, online advertising has proven to be much less lucrative than print advertising. As a result, newspapers have struggled to replace print revenue with online revenue, and print advertising continues to be the primary revenue source for local journalism. If Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper are subject to duties, prices in the whole newsprint market will be shocked and our supply chains will suffer.
