  • Wisconsin Masters Swimming May2001
    WISCONSIN MASTERS SWIMMING MAY2001 A Note From Nancy WMAC Newsletter Editor As the saying goes - Spring has sprung, Fall has fell, Summer's her\3 ....... Well - At least summer is trying to get here! And that means the move to the outdoors and that LONG 50 meter pool for many. Some will elect (or be forced) to stay indoors in their short course pools and then there will be some that will "hit" the lakes for some open water challenges. Whatever your choice - go for it! Between Wisconsin Masters and USMS there will be opportunities to indulge in most any endeavor you choose. Look for entry forms enclosed in this newsletter for the Racine Quarry Swim and the Lake Amy Belle Swim. Badger Games entries were sent out weeks ago to all previous participants and don't forget entries for the Masters Swimming in Badger Games are due in EARLY June. Due to conflicts with scheduling at Schroeder, the constant concern about the weather when scheduling a meet at Wilson Park, and poor attendance the last several years, this will, unfortunately, be the first summer in well over 20 years that a LC Meter State Championship Meet will NOT be held. However, we do have opportnities to participate and isn't that what Masters Swimming is all about? So, dig out the sun screen and the "outdoor'' goggles. Enjoy the warmth of our brief Wisconsin summer, and make every effort to participate in those meets that are being offered. Dare to be different! Try something new! You've got nothing to lose.

  • Finance Department To
    Marathon County Financial Plan and Information Summary 2000 ANNUAL BUDGET The Naming of Marathon County The Battlefield of Marathon - The ancient Greeks called their sacred herb “Marathon”. It is the giant fennel plant, and it gave its name to the fertile, three-by-five mile plain that fronts on the Aegean Sea about 20 miles northeast of ancient Athens. The Aegean separates Greece and present-day Turkey. In 490 B.C., Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Palestine were all called Persia, and were ruled by a powerful ruler who styled himself the “King of Kings”: Darius the Great. At that time Greece was at the height of its classical period, known through the world as the center of great art, science and learning. Athens was its intellectual capital. Darius coveted Greece. First conquering many of the Greek colonies adjacent to his own country, he directed his attention to the Greek mainland. He politely invited the Greeks, city by city, to submit to his rule. He offered privileges for the loss of their freedom. But there would be tribute. Many other cities and whole nations had accepted his offer rather than face his armies. Those that refused him had been crushed. The Athenians refused. Angrily, Darius declared war. Estimates vary on the size of the army that his Phoenician galleys disembarked on the shore of the Marathon plain, but at least 25,000 infantry, archers, and cavalry arranged themselves for battle with the defending Greeks. A hastily-gathered force of Athenian heavy infantry faced the Persians, along with a volunteer force from the nearby town of Platea, numbering in all about 10,000 troops.

  • Christ College Alumni Compendium
    CHRIST COLLEGE LIVES: FAITH AND WORK, LOVE AND LIFE FREDRICK BARTON ‘70, EDITOR CHAIR, CHRIST COLLEGE NATIONAL COUNCIL Christ College Lives: Faith and Work, Love and Life Introductory Remarks: CC Homecoming Celebration Saturday, September 30, 2017, 5:30 pm Fredrick Barton ‘70 I find it fitting to be stepping in front of this audience after being introduced by Dean Margaret Franson. It was she, after all, who assigned me the task of standing here at this moment. And that is fitting, too, because, as everyone who graduated from Christ College since 1991 knows first hand, Dean Franson is the engine that pulls the C.C. train. Our esteemed deans may have provided the broad vision, but Margaret Franson supervised the details. And this Golden Anniversary celebration of our founding, like so much about Christ College, has been a Margaret Franson project. I stand here now as one of her details. I frankly don’t recall whose idea it was as part of our anniversary celebration to solicit short biographies from our alumni. But once the idea was agreed to, Margaret volunteered me to edit the submissions into a compendium, which I hope you have had the chance to peruse or will take the chance to read through once the final edition is available. My own reading of these biographies has proven an exquisite pleasure. We C.C. alums have been up to some stuff the last half century, and our compendium is a forthright indication of outstanding individual achievement indicative of amazing programmatic success. I am incredibly pleased to have my own biography nestled among all of these others.
