  • TRAVEL TIPS for NATIONALS 2017 Exploring the Tri-State Area (Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin)
    TRAVEL TIPS FOR NATIONALS 2017 Exploring the Tri-State Area (Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin) REALLY IMPORTANT TIP: Always, always keep your parking meter fed in Dubuque (Saturdays too)!!!! A Brief (Very Brief) History of Dubuque (see www.encyclopediadubuque.org for more) In 1788, Julien Dubuque, a French-Canadian, was granted rights by the Mesquakie (aka Meskwaki) Indians to mine their land for lead; he settled near the mouth of Catfish Creek (now part of the State Park, Mines of Spain Recreation Area). Dubuque, for whom the city is named, is considered to be the first white man to settle in Iowa, making Dubuque the oldest City in Iowa. For followers of the “Triple Crown Race”, La Classique internationale de Canots de la Mauricie (Shawinigan) in Quebec, Canada, Julien Dubuque, was born in Trois-Rivières (his childhood cradle is located in the Mississippi River Museum). Imagine the journey he made by water to arrive here! So, it is somehow fitting that the 50th Annual USCA National Championships should be held on “the Father of Waters,” the 2nd longest river in the United States, 4th longest in the world (including Missouri and Jefferson River feeds). In 1965, after severe flooding of much of the downtown area, a flood wall was built to protect Dubuque’s citizens and structures from future flooding, so much of the waterfront is rimmed in native limestone and protected by flood gates. Chaplain Schmitt Island, (named after Father Aloysius H. Schmitt) aka City Island, is Race HQ for Nationals 2017. Formerly an airport, a city dump site and a car racing track, it is now a recreational area, with a hiking/biking trail, an indoor iceskating arena (open to the public), baseball fields, boat docks, Dubuque Water Sports Club, Miller Riverview Park Campground, casino, hotel.

  • About Dubuque
    About Dubuque Dubuque’s historic Old Main District has experienced a rebirth. Restoration projects have brought new vitality to downtown Dubuque, most notably the $400 million renovation to the riverfront now known as America’s River - the Port of Dubuque on the Mississippi. Hotel Julien Dubuque overlooks the port and is at the heart of the revitalization movement. Dubuque Fast Facts Established: 1833, settled in 1788 by French Canadian fur trader and early entrepreneur Julien Dubuque. Dubuque is Iowa’s oldest city and is among the oldest settlements west of the Mississippi River. For a full history, click here.

Now the river is known for its riverboat excursions, tourism, gaming and recreation. Rail Industry: Known for its passenger rail to Chicago.

    wiNTeR 2015 eDiTiON Students from the Cuba City School District visited the Residential Center in late December to drop off the MANY, MANY gifts the school’s students and families collected throughout the month for the children living at Hills & Dales. All of the kids had a great time enjoying breakfast, making Christmas ornaments and singing songs together during this visit. Nicole Pollock (back row, left) is a former employee of Hills & Dales and connected the two groups for this special event. Thank you to the Cuba City students for making Christmas an even more special time of year for everyone at Hills & Dales! Inside This Issue FROM THe CeO . 2 FROM THe BOARD OF DiReCTORS . 3 ReCOgNiTiON –– From Wishes to Reality . 4-7 HillS & DAleS HAPPeNiNgS . 8-11 From the Chief Executive Officer This is the first Happenings of the New Year and already so much is going on it is hard to grasp all of it. Our annual evalua - tion of our Residential Center on Davis Street by the iowa Depart - ment of inspections and Appeals came a few weeks early, but as always our staff and managers were well prepared for the visit. The three surveyors had numerous positive comments about our program, but the most important one to me and the one which best summed up their overall comments was ... “The culture here is present and evident no matter when we arrive”. To me this means that our culture to fulfill our mission is consistently present and visible day in and day out. Other comments included how the quality of the individual’s life is measured by the environment of their home, their appearance, and their involvement in their own lives.
