Blahnik, Immaculate Heart of Mary Church UNFINISHED BUSINESS Ms. Rhodes-Conway projected and a reviewed a slide presentation regarding the COWS and Legacy Community Alliance for Health organizations. The goal is to have current and future Council decisions include the health impact of an action or policy much like the consideration of sustainability. Two days of free, non-project specific training and stipends are provided for five staff members and then a project is chosen. A new project is not required; knowledge gained could be applied to a current policy. UW experts are available for consultation. City Administrator Little reported the staff to be trained would be those who worked on the UniverCity Year. Outcomes of that program are unknown now but will be soon and a targeted project will be built upon with this effort. Alder Holmquist stated the UniverCity project was a conceptual effort versus action but this is more tangible and straightforward. He questioned why Green Tier Legacy communities were chosen and whether they were already considering health in their decisions. Ms. Rhodes-Conway responded the UW Hospital requires partners of a pre-existing entity to participate. Almost all members will sign on. Many had added health as a concern but didn’t know how to address that outside of the Public Health Department. Alder Moore questioned the staff’s level of enthusiasm. City Administrator Little responded training will clarify the process but this may be a continuation of the UniverCity project and may help on something that is planned to be worked on anyway. Alder Wood reported he attended three UniverCity presentations and some projects and reports are much closer to being able to be implemented; it will be MONONA CITY COUNCIL May 1, 2017 5 Page 3 much easier to see the outcome when reports are presented. Alder Speight reported the City needs to act; it is demoralizing to staff if great things are talked about but not done. He wants to move forward. A motion by Alder Speight, seconded by Alder Kitslaar to approve Resolution No. 17-4-2172 Approving a Collaboration Agreement Between Legacy Community Alliance for Health and the City of Monona, was carried. City Administrator Little reviewed the League of Wisconsin Municipalities’ Legislative effort to stop the use of “dark store theory” valuation to shift the property tax burden from big box stores to homeowners. There is also an effort to overturn the Walgreens decision. Alder Kitslaar reported Senator Mark Miller and Representative Jimmy Anderson are in support of the League’s effort. A motion by Alder Kitslaar, seconded by Alder Speight to approve Resolution No. 17-4-2171 Approving a Resolution Recommending the Amendment of Provisions that Shift a Greater Property Tax Burden from Commercial to Residential Homeowners, was carried. NEW BUSINESS The following was moved forward in the Agenda to accommodate staff. Public Works Director Stephany provided information on Resolution 17-5-2178 Award of Bid for 2017 Street Resurfacing Project. This will be reviewed by the Public Works Committee on May 3. Four bids were received on April 20 with the low bidder recommended. Two of the streets involved, Sylvan Lane and Wallace Avenue, are on the long-range reconstruction plan 10+ years in the future but need repairs now.

  • For Lincoln, 1854 Was an Annus Mirabilis. As He Later Said of Himself, by That Year The
    Chapter Ten “Aroused As He Had Never Been Before”: Reentering Politics (1854-1855) For Lincoln, 1854 was an annus mirabilis. As he later said of himself, by that year the practice of law “had almost superseded the thought of politics in his mind, when the repeal of the Missouri compromise aroused him as he had never been before.”1 He and thousands of other Northerners were outraged by the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which threw open to slavery millions of acres that had long been set aside for freedom. That legislation, introduced in January 1854 by Stephen A. Douglas, allowed settlers in western territories to decide for themselves if slavery should exist there; Douglas called this “popular sovereignty.” The statute, as its author predicted, raised “a hell of a storm” because it repealed the 1820 Missouri Compromise, which forbade slavery in the northern portion of the Louisiana Purchase (encompassing what became the states of Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana.)2 Indignation swept the Free States, where voters had been relatively indifferent to the slavery issue since the Compromise of 1850.3 “There is a North, thank God,” exclaimed a New England 1 Autobiography written for John Locke Scripps, [ca.

  • Biographical Notices of Graduates of Yale College
    BIOGRAPHICAL N OTICES OF GRADUATES OF Y ALE COLLEGE INCLUDING T HOSE GRADUATED IN CLASSES LATER THAN 1815, WHO ARE NOT COMMEMORATED IN THE ANNUAL OBITUARY RECORDS BY FRANKLIN B OWDITCH DEXTER, LITT.D. SAISSUED A SUPPLEMENT TO THE OBITUARY RECORD NEW HAVEN— 1913 PREFACE Biographical S ketches of the graduates of Yale College to 1815 have already been published, in six octavo volumes ; and when it became necessary to bring this series of Sketches to a close, the author was requested by the Cor poration of the University to compile a supplementary volume, of those deceased graduates of the College, of Classes later than 1815, who have not been included in the Obituary Records, published annually since 1860. fMany o the notices in the volume thus compiled have a certain sameness, as commemorating those who died too soon to have achieved much; while another considerable group consists of those who were early lost sight of, or whose distant residence has obscured their later history. The time which could be given to the task of compilation has limited the amount of research, but it is hoped that the results justify the design. BIOGRAPHICAL N OTICES GRADUATES OF YALE COLLEGE CLASSF O l8l6 REUBEN B OOTH, son of Reuben H. and Sarah Booth, was born in Newtown, Connecticut, on November 26, 1794. The family removed to Kent in his boyhood, and he entered Yale at the opening of Sophomore year. In 1814 his father, who was a wool-carder, was drowned in the Housatonic River, leaving him dependent on his own exertions.

QSBORN EDITOR " NIW HAVEM REGISTER" INTRODUCTORY C HAPTER "What C onnecticut Stands For in the History of the Nation" BY S AMUEL HART, D.D. PRESIDENT C ONNECTICUT HISTORICAL SOCIETY WILLIAM R G OODSPEED HARTFORD, C ONNECTICUT 1906 > L IT:.:: t.u. » » .t Copyright 1 004 by B. F. JOBMSOM EDITOR'S P REFACE The d ifficulties to be encountered in compiling and editing a work of this character are many and varied, and it remains for public opinion to say with what success they have been met and over come. The aim has been to make a representative presentation of the men in the State of Connecticut who have contributed in- marked ways to its professional, industrial, and commercial integrity. It would be an affectation to claim that the work has been thoroughly done. It has in some cases been impossible to secure the cooperation and support of men of mark who belong in a book of this character. At the same time a larger and more sincere effort has been made to achieve the end in view, without exercising a snobbish discrimination, than has ever before been attempted. In asking the indulgence of the public, we do so in the knowledge that our purpose has been to group together, so far as possible, the men and their records, modestly worded, to whose usefulness the historian must in time turn for the human documents necessary to his purpose.
