AMONG YOUR FRIENDS >> Longtime Lake Country Publications reporter Jim Stevens is shown above circa the early 1990s working in the newsroom. Lake Country Publications mourns the loss of longtime reporter Longtime Lake Country Publications reporter Jim Stevens was synonymous with Lake Country news for almost three decades. Stevens devoted half of his life to telling readers in western Waukesha County the stories that affected them. He sacrificed his time, his talents and the best years of his life in an often-thankless job, telling stories that would otherwise go untold. A jack-of-all-trades, he primarily covered crime, courts, the Village of Pewaukee and the Town of Delafield, while also penning a weekly movie review. Over time he developed close and trusting relationships with his sources.

I have the utmost respect for what they do and how much they sacrifice for their students. I’d like to especially thank Professor Daryl Moen for working closely with me and pushing me to perform the best research possible. I definitely need to thank the former creative director at Gannett’s Des Moines Design Studio, Nathan Groepper, for giving me an opportunity to work there. My team leaders at the studio, Sean McKeown-Young and Jeremy Gustafson, were particularly awesome in pushing me to be a better and more thoughtful designer. Lastly, I’d like to thank my parents, Janet and Daniel Brisson for their love and support. I would not be here without them — not just in the literal sense, but also because their judgment and beliefs have driven me in probably everything I do. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS . ii LIST OF TABLES . iv ABSTRACT . v KEYWORDS . vi Chapter 1.

    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.

  • Chapter 1 – Issues and Opportunities
    Sheboygan County Comprehensive Plan Adopted CHAPTER 1 – ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES INTRODUCTION The Sheboygan County Comprehensive Plan was developed through an intensive public participation and review process and is intended to be reflective of the values, goals, and vision of the residents and communities that comprise Sheboygan County. The development of this Plan, along with many of the more detailed comprehensive plans for Sheboygan County’s local communities, was made possible through the State of Wisconsin Comprehensive Planning Grant Program administered by the Wisconsin Department of Administration – Division of Intergovernmental Relations. Sheboygan County is developing its plan in cooperation with municipalities and in a cooperative planning effort with the Towns of Holland, Lima, Plymouth, Scott, Sheboygan, and Sheboygan Falls, the Village of Cascade, and the City of Sheboygan Falls. The Sheboygan County Comprehensive Plan is not intended to pre-empt local comprehensive plans developed under Wis. Stats. 66.1001 that address the 14 State of Wisconsin comprehensive planning goals. Rather, the plan is intended to be a framework or “toolbox,” which can provide local communities with concepts and ideas (tools) to implement the objectives set forth in their own localized comprehensive plans while still maintaining a coordinated and consistent vision with the Sheboygan County Comprehensive Plan. PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to guide growth for a 20-year time frame. This Plan contains a potential future land use map designating generalized areas to serve as locations for future land use activities. This map is based on the designations of each of the municipalities within the County because Sheboygan County does not administer countywide zoning, but the County administers other countywide ordinances.
