ANDERSON analyzes the letters written between Civil War soldiers and their farm wives on the home front. In those letters, absent husbands provided advice, but the wives became managers and diplomats who negotiated relationships with kin and neighbors to provision and shelter their families and to preserve their farms. J. L. Anderson is assistant professor of history and assistant director of the Center for Public History at the University of West Georgia. DAVID BRODNAX SR. provides the first detailed description of the role of Iowa’s African American regiment, the 60th United States Colored Infantry, in the American Civil War and in the struggle for black suffrage after the war. David Brodnax Sr. is associate professor of history at Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Illinois. TIMOTHY B. SMITH describes David B.

    Current Situation General: St. Ambrose University (the “University”) is a private, Catholic, coeducational, liberal arts institution of higher education. The University is organized as an Iowa nonprofit corporation and is a tax-exempt charitable organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The St. Vincent’s Center campus of the University is located at 780 West Central Park (this is the address of the Diocese of Davenport) and is bounded by Assumption High School to the west, the Duck Creek Parkway to the north, West Central Park Avenue to the south and residential neighborhoods and the Western Avenue alley to the east. Enrollment: The University’s enrollment has increased 19.2% since 2001, but total enrollment (FTE) has actually decreased 4.7% since 2007. The undergraduate enrollment has mirrored these numbers with total undergraduate enrollment increasing 27.3% since 2001 and decreasing 3.06% since 2007. Graduate enrollments are down 5.2% since 2001 and down 10.9% since 2007. A chart showing total enrollment, undergraduate enrollment and graduate enrollment is shown below: Future Projections In the spring and summer of 2010 the University went through a Strategic Enrollment Planning process to answer the question of how big the University should become over the next ten years (until 2021). This process was facilitated by Noel Levitz, a noted enrollment management firm. The end result of this process was a 2021 enrollment target of 4,250 students. The changes in enrollment are projected to be as follows (with 2010 as a base): Undergraduate - 2010 enrollment of 2,575 students to 2,750 students, a 6.8% increase.

SOME FIFTY YEARS AGO Dudley Cornish’s groundbreak- ing book, The Sable Arm, called attention to the extent and im- portance of the African American military presence in the Civil War.1 But with the exception of the famous 54th Massachusetts Infantry, whose service was later dramatized in the film Glory, the nation’s individual African American regiments have not, as a rule, attracted much serious historical research. Iowa’s African American regiment, the First Iowa Volunteers (African Descent), later redesignated the 60th United States Colored In- fantry, has suffered from that general neglect. The first historian to take note of the regiment was Hubert Wubben, who recorded the existence of the “First Iowa African Infantry,” as he termed it, but little more. He wrote only that it was organized in 1863 and that it “saw no combat, but per- formed guard and garrison duty in St. Louis and in other parts of the lower Mississippi Valley.” This brief summation hardly did justice to the regiment’s experience, but at least Wubben provided a reference citing official records where materials for 1.

  • Moline Bikeways Plan
    MOLINE BIKEWAYS PLAN REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE MOLINE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION TEAM (MATT) Mayor Don Welvaert Jeff Anderson Laura Duran John Knaack Donnie Miller Mike Crotty Rod Hawk Dean Mathias Dan Osterman Doug DeLille Scott Hinton Dan McNeil Kevin Schoonmaker March 2011 REPORT SUMMARY In June of 2010, Moline Mayor Don Welvaert appointed the Moline Alternative Transportation Team (MATT). This city and citizen group was charged with making recommendations related to improving bicycling and walking in the community. One of the first efforts identified by MATT was development of the Moline Bikeways Plan. This plan is intended to provide a blueprint for developing a system of connected bicycle routes throughout the city and adjoining cities to encourage bicycling as a means of enhancing the community quality of life, supporting development efforts, promoting healthful activity, and reducing the city’s carbon footprint. The Moline Alternative Transportation Team recommends the following: That Moline’s Bikeways Plan compliments and enhances Moline’s Comprehensive Plan; and That the Quad Cities Area “Complete Streets” Policy shall be the guiding philosophy of the bikeways plan; and That the bikeways system identified will ultimately place each and every resident and business within a half-mile of a bikeway; and That as the location of the Quad City International Airport, and the proposed passenger rail station Moline should provide bicycle access and amenities to these facilities for all QC residents and visitors; and That the city pursue Bicycle Friendly Community, Business, and University designations as awarded by the League of American Bicyclists; and That Moline’s Bikeways Plan shall be submitted for inclusion in 2040 Quad Cities Area Long Range Transportation Plan.

They initially plan on this upcoming Monday, August 19, 2019 pending any threat of severe weather. Brian Wright, Muscatine Co. Emergency Management ([email protected]). • DPW/Curb Cuts: In the past Roadway Maintenance has sawed curb cuts and removed pavement for contractors at no charge. The reason we did this was to control the depth of the saw cut to ensure that the remaining concrete was not broken along the saw line. Doing this is time consuming and costly to the department and there are contractors within the city that can provide this service. The department is planning to cease providing this free service and directing all contractors to contact a local contractor with the proper sawing equipment to have them do the work. The city Right of Way inspector would inspect the saw cuts and removal to make sure that it meets specifications. • Bi-State: Please see the attached July 2019 Public Officials Directory. This document is also available on their website, www.bistateonline.org, in a module on the left-hand side of the home page or under Documents, Administration. • Tourism: Roger Brooks and Destination Development have a number of interesting articles, emails or short reads on tourism and downtown development.
