Oshkosh History In 1637, Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet traveled from Green Bay up the Fox River to the Wisconsin River then to the Mississippi River. These waterways became the “highway” from French Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. In the summer of 1836, the first white settler, Webster Stanley, migrated from Ohio to start a ferryboat operation. Within several Stanley months, he built his home and soon established a trading post, a tavern and an inn. Only three years later, this area had become home to more than 100 people. Brooklyn, on the south side of the Fox River, and Athens, on the north, merged and officially adopted the name “Oskosh” after the Menominee tribe. Some time later, an “h” was added and it became known as Oshkosh. In 1847, Morris Firman began operating the first sawmill in Oshkosh. Within several years, sawmills lined the Fox River. The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 created a boom in Oshkosh’s lumber trade, as much of the lumber used to rebuild Chicago was produced by Oshkosh sawmills. By 1873, 24 sawmills, 15 shingle mills and seven sash and door companies were in operation and Oshkosh became known as “Sawdust City.” The firm that made Oshkosh famous, OshKosh B’Gosh, was established in 1903. The OshKosh B’Gosh name would not appear until 1910. Today, Oshkosh and the surrounding area has a population of 85,000 and an abundance of sights and sounds for visitors to discover and enjoy. The city is on the western shore of Lake Winnebago and is banked by the Fox River and Lake Butte des Morts in Winnebago County. Lake Winnebago, the largest freshwater lake within a state, was carved from the same limestone formation that created Niagara Falls. Winnebago County has more water area than any other Wisconsin county.

More than 10,000 square feet of immersive and interactive exhibits bring the region’s history to life. A museum favorite, built in 1895, the 8-foot tall Apostles Clock continues to toll out the hour more than 100 years later in a brilliant display of music, lights and master clockworks. The museum also continually rotates through temporary, traveling exhibits two to three times per year. A listing of upcoming temporary exhibitions can be found on the museum’s website. At the heart of the museum is the historic Sawyer Home. This Edwardianera masterpiece was designed in 1908 by notable architect William Waters with interiors by Tiffany Studios of New York. The museum also offers a great selection of ways to get involved with rewarding and exciting volunteer, internship, Auxiliary and Board member opportunities and several levels of affordable, yearly memberships.

The Grand Opera House Address: 100 High Ave., Oshkosh Box office hours: Monday through Friday 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Box office phone: (920) 424-2350. Website: www.grandoperahouse.org. The Grand Opera House is the oldest operating theater building in the state. Designed by Oshkosh architect William Waters, the Grand was built in 1883. It instantly became a stop for the world’s most famous touring artists, from the Marx Brothers to Mark Twain, John Philip Sousa to President William Howard Taft. The Grand has been a gathering place for the community to celebrate the performing arts for more than 125 years. Still, the Grand’s history is rich and varied. For a period, the building fell into disrepair and in the 1980s the
citizens of Oshkosh overwhelmingly voted in a referendum for the city of Oshkosh to purchase and restore the Grand by a margin of 2 to 1. After undergoing a restoration, the Grand reopened in 1986. Today, the Grand Opera House is owned by the city of Oshkosh and operated on behalf of the city by the nonprofit Oshkosh Opera House Foundation Inc. The Grand Opera House is featured on both the state and national registers of historic places. In February 2009, the Grand was preparing for the installation of a fire sprinkler system when some major structural issues were discovered within the attic. Immediately the Grand was closed for safety concerns. In August 2009 the Oshkosh Common Council voted unanimously to fund repairs to the Grand at $1.8 million. But the city of Oshkosh wasn’t the only governmental body to offer financial support: Winnebago County
pledged $50,000, the state of Wisconsin pledged $500,000, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation awarded a $5,000 grant. Oshkosh businesses and individuals also offset portions of a $250,000 pledge made by the Oshkosh Opera House Foundation Inc. The Grand reopened for a second time on Aug. 16, 2010, and continues to offer a full selection of touring artists, local entertainment and other opportunities to engage the performing arts in downtown Oshkosh. New to the
complex is the privately funded Grand Lounge. With a capacity of 200 people, the Grand Lounge is a full-service hospitality suite for beverage and food service as well as a space for hosting meetings or receptions. The Lounge is open before, during and after all performances as well as on its own for events such as the monthly Gallery Walk series. Contributed by Jeff Potts, development and community relations manager for the Grand Opera House.

State of Wisconsin Facts State flag
Starting at the top of a shield on a dark blue field is the state motto “Forward.” Below is a badger, the state animal. A sailor and miner show that the people work on water and land. The shield in the center shows the state’s support for the United States.
Fast Facts
Capital Madison Governor Scott Walker, Republican Statehood May 29, 1848 Origin of state’s name Based on an Indian word “Ouisconsin” believed to mean “grassy place” in the Chippewa language. Population 5,686,986 (2010 Census) Constitution 30th state Motto “Forward”
In four sections surrounding the shield are representations of the state’s main industries: agriculture, mining, manufacturing and navigation. The cornucopia and pile of lead represent farm products and minerals. The flag law was amended in 1979 to include the name of the state and the date of statehood. Nickname Badger State Flower Wood violet Tree Sugar maple Bird Robin Geology Land area is 54,424 sq. mi. Highest point Timms Hill, Price County; 1,952 feet Lowest point Shore of Lake Michigan; 581 feet. Largest city Milwaukee State of Wisconsin on the Web www.wisconsin.gov
STATE SONG - ON, WISCONSIN The music for “On, Wisconsin!” was composed in 1909 by William T. Purdy with the idea of entering it in a contest for the creation of a new University of Minnesota football song. Carl Beck persuaded Purdy to dedicate the song to the University of Wisconsin football team instead, and Beck collaborated with the composer by writing the lyrics. The song was introduced at the Madison campus in November 1909. It was later acclaimed by world-famous composer and bandmaster John Philip Sousa as the best college song he had ever heard. Lyrics more in keeping with the purposes of a state song were written in 1913 by Charles D. Rosa and J. S. Hubbard. Although “On, Wisconsin!” was widely recognized as Wisconsin’s song, the state did not officially adopt it until 1959.
Rep. Harold W. Clemens discovered Wisconsin was one of only 10 states without an official song. He introduced a bill to give the song the status he thought it deserved. On discovering many different lyrics existed, an official text for the first verse was incorporated in Chapter 170, Laws of 1959, and it is contained in Section 1.10 of the statutes: On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin! Grand old badger state! We, thy loyal sons and daughters, Hail thee, good and great. On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin! Champion of the right, ‘Forward,’ our motto — God will give thee might! Source: www.wisconsin.gov

Voter ID law Beginning with the spring primary in February 2012, Wisconsin voters will have to show a photo ID to receive a ballot and vote in any government election.
Accepted IDs A Wisconsin Department of Transportation-issued driver license or identification card An identification card issued by a U.S. uniformed service (note: photo IDs issued by the Department of Veteran Affairs or by the Transportation Administration will NOT be accepted at the polls.) A U.S. passport (ID forms above must be unexpired, or if expired, have expired after the date of the most recent general election.) A certificate of naturalization that was issued not earlier than two years before the date of an election at which it is presented An unexpired driving receipt issued by Wisconsin DOT. An unexpired identification card receipt issued by Wisconsin DOT. An identification card issued by a federally recognized Indian tribe in Wisconsin An unexpired identification card issued by a Wisconsinaccredited university or college that contains the date of issuance, the student’s signature and an expiration date not later than two years after date of issuance. Free ID cards Wisconsin law requires the Department of Transportation to provide free ID cards to any individual who will be at least 18 years of age on the date of the next election and who requests a free ID for the purpose of voting. The regular fee is $28. For information about getting a state identification card, see www.dot. wisconsin.gov/drivers/drivers/apply/ idcard.htm.

Casting ballots Inspectors must ask every voter for an ID. Election inspectors are not required to compare the signature to any other record. State law requires election inspectors to verify that the photo ID is unexpired or, if expired, it meets the expiration specifications; verify that the photo ID reasonably resembles the voter; and verify the name conforms to the name on the voter list (name variations are allowed). The photo ID doesn’t have to contain a current residential address and is not required to match the address on the voter list. Election inspectors will not and cannot collect information from a photo ID on Election Day, including driver license number, date of birth or name.
Casting absentee ballots No photo copies will be made of the identification card while casting an in-person absentee ballot. Beginning in spring 2012, to cast a mail-in absentee ballot, the voter must provide a copy of photo ID. Municipal clerks will maintain a record documenting photo ID was provided. Once the voter has provided a photo ID with their mail-in absentee application they are not required to provide photo ID again with subsequent absentee ballot requests, unless their registration status changes (such as an address or name change). To cast a mail-in absentee ballot, voters must provide the license number of their current and valid Wisconsin driver license. If they cannot or won’t provide the number, they can register and vote provisionally. To cast a mail-in absentee ballot a voter with a revoked, suspended or expired driver
Polling Locations license (or if they’re unsure if their ID is revoked, suspended or expired) voters must provide the driver license number and the last four digits of their Social Security number. Those who provide just the Social Security number may also register and vote. Those who provide only the driver license number can’t register and may not vote. Voters wishing to cast a mailin absentee ballot without a Wisconsin drivers license must provide a a state-issued ID number or the last four digits of their Social Security number. If they can’t provide either number, they can’t register or vote. Source: Wisconsin Government Accountability Board, http://gab.wi.gov/elections-voting/ photo-id
All locations are open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Election Days. Voting locations are determined by street address. The exact location of the city’s wards are undetermined as of press time. In August, the Oshkosh Common Council approved a new voting district map with 16 districts instead of the 17 councilors approved in 2001. It also renumbers the voting districts and wards residents across the city have become used to over the past 10 years. The first election to use the new maps will likely be the presidential primary election in early 2012. City staff are currently working to establish each voting district’s polling place. Watch for the updated map at http:// www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us/City_Clerk/ polling_places.asp.

Neither party can be in a legal domestic partnership with another party. The parties must share a common residence. The parties must be of the same sex. The parties cannot be closer in relationship than second cousins, even if they are related by adoption or by half-blood. When the county clerk issues the declaration of domestic partnership (generally after five days), the partners sign the declaration in the presence of the county clerk or deputy county clerk or another notary public. The partners then file the completed declaration with the register of deeds in the county that issued the declaration. There is no time limit for filing the declaration after it has been issued. However, the domestic partnership does not go into effect until the date the declaration is accepted and filed at the Register of Deeds Office. The partners can purchase certified copies of the declaration at the Register of Deeds Office to use as proof of the domestic partnership. Copies may also be purchased at the state Vital Records Office. The fee for applying for a declaration of domestic partnership is set by each county board. By law, it is the same fee that the county charges for issuing a license to marry, which is $95 in Winnebago County. There is usually an extra charge for waiving the five-day waiting period (waivers are granted at the discretion of the county clerk).

Lawn Cutting The owner of every parcel in the city of Oshkosh must cut all grass and weeds that are higher than 8 inches. All uncut grass and weeds will be declared a public nuisance and will be cut by the city. The fee depends on the size of the lot and the labor.
Snow Removal The person who occupies the first or ground floor of a building or the person in charge of that building is responsible for removing snow from sidewalks.

owners fail to do so. The owner is then billed the contractor’s rate plus a $10 administration fee.
Pet Ordinances www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us Pet owners have the responsibility to provide pets a healthy, safe life and their neighbors a pet-free existence. Oshkosh animal ordinances underline this concept and, when obeyed, prevent serious consequences, such as lost pets, injured neighbors, and dangerous diseases.
Pet Rules www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us Confine your pet within your premises except when attended to by some person and fastened securely to a suitable leash no more than 6 feet in length.

Keep your pet quiet. Immediately report all animal bites to the Oshkosh Police Department. Always provide your pets with sufficient food and fresh water. Always provide pets, allowed or kept outdoors, with adequate shade and shelter. Maintain pens and enclosures in a clean and sanitary condition. Never abuse, abandon or neglect any animal. Never leave any animal, enclosed or unattended in any type of vehicle where the air temperature inside and/or outside will cause the animal to be exposed to extreme weather conditions. On a warm day the temperature in a parked car can reach 160 degrees in a matter of minutes, even with partially opened windows. With only hot air to breathe, your pet can
quickly suffer brain damage or die from heatstroke. Keep your dog from prohibited areas such as parks, beaches, cemeteries, golf courses, playgrounds or school grounds.
Weed And Grass Cutting The owner of every parcel in the city of Oshkosh must cut all grass and weeds that are higher than 8 inches. All uncut grass and weeds will be declared a public nuisance and will be cut by the city. The fee depends on the size of the lot and the labor.
Yard Waste The primary day for loose leaf collection is the day after your normal garbage collection. Leaves must be placed on the terrace between the sidewalk and the curb.

leaf piles in the street. For questions call Streets and Sanitation at (920) 232-5380 or (920) 232-5383. The city does not pick up grass clippings from the curb. Residents are encouraged to leave them on their lawns. Those who want to get rid of them may dump them at the city garage’s compost pile at Idaho Street and Witzel Avenue with an annual permit that costs $15 for city residents and $80 for non-residents.

Single-Stream Recycling
The city of Oshkosh introduced singlestream recycling in 2009. The program is designed to make recycling easier and more cost effective for both residents and the city. All recyclables are picked up every other week by an automated or semi-automated vehicle. Recyclables are collected in standardized 64- or 96-gallon carts. The items — papers, plastics, aluminum and others – are mixed together in the collection truck. Residents do not need to separate items by type. Residents were assigned carts before the single-stream recycling program began. Contact the Sanitation Department for details about obtaining a new cart. For a schedule of garbage and recycling pick-up dates, see the Sanitation Department’s website.
Single-Stream Guidelines Roll the cart to the curb on your scheduled day by 7 a.m., or after 4 p.m. the day before. Place the cart within 1 foot of the curb or edge of pavement. Do not park a vehicle on the street in front of the cart. Place the cart at least 3 feet away from trees, mailboxes, garbage and other items. Make sure the arrows on your cart are facing the street and the lid is fully closed. Do not set cart on top of a snow bank — the cart must
be at ground level. Recyclables must be placed loosely in the cart. Containers must be emptied and rinsed before being placed in the recycling cart. Cardboard should be flattened and may have to be cut to fit in the recycling cart. Papers and magazines must be placed in the recycling cart loose. Shredded paper must be placed in a paper bag and then put in the recycling cart. Items bagged in plastic are not allowed in the recycling cart. Garbage is not allowed in the recycling cart. Items left outside the cart will not be picked up and must be removed from the curb the same day to avoid fines and special collection charges. Residents can also take recyclables for no charge to Winnebago County Solid Waste/ Recycling Division at 100 W. County Road Y. Residents have the freedom to decide if their cart has enough material to be collected on designated pick-up days. It is recommended that you set your cart out only if it’s more than half full on your designated recycling collection week. Carts do not need to be marked. Each bears a serial number and has an embedded RFID tag, which the Sanitation Division will use to assist in locating stolen carts. If the recycling cart is not recovered, you can file a police report. The replacement cost of a new recycling cart is the responsibility of the owner. Rental units also participate in single-stream recycling if their items are picked up by the Sanitation Division. It is the property owners’ responsibility to coordinate and communicate the recycling plan with tenants. The city has set up an Exemption Service program to assist
residents with disabilities who do not have anyone to help them with their chores. Residents who are physically unable to place their carts at the curb may qualify for the city’s ES program at no additional cost. Residents will need to provide the city with a verifiable doctor’s slip stating why they are physically restricted from moving their cart to the curb. Applications for the ES program are available by calling the Sanitation Division at (920) 232-5383 or by visiting the city’s website, www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us.
Recycling/Waste Disposal Guidelines Recycling is the law all across Wisconsin. Communities wanting to keep their landfill privileges must separate from their garbage those things listed in these rules. People can’t fill landfill space with recyclables. Following the rules makes recycling pickup and processing cost less. It will also earn Oshkosh more money when your recyclables are sold.

The Northwestern evolved from a weekly newspaper of the same name in 1868. The first publishers were partners Major C.G. Finney and B.F. Davis, who sold the paper to City Editor John Hicks and General Thomas S. Allen, a Civil War veteran, in 1870. Hicks bought out Allen in 1884. As publisher, Hicks hired and trained Oscar J. Hardy, who became publisher and then owner when Hicks died in 1917. Hardy was publisher until 1950. He was succeeded by sons-in-law A. Thomas Schwalm and Samuel W. Heaney, who were co-publishers until 1994. In April 1998, the Schwalm and Heaney families sold the paper to Ogden Newspapers, who then sold to Thomson Newspapers in July of 1998. Thomson sold The Northwestern to Gannett in July of 2000. The Northwestern offices, built in 1930, is considered the state’s most beautiful newspaper building.

Upon walking into the Oshkosh Area Humane Society at 1925 Shelter Court in Oshkosh, you quickly realize the people there really care about animals. Cats are housed in either spacious community rooms, complete with colorful furniture, scratching posts, cozy beds, and even TVs; or in private cat condos. Dogs have clean, roomy kennels, complete with toys and treats. They also have ample space to exercise and play in the fenced-in areas and the large dog park just across the street. Volunteers are often found seated in a cat community room giving attention to affectionate felines, or outside with a sweet dog who can’t get enough of playing fetch, or even socializing guinea pigs in the small mammal room. Founded in 1992, the Oshkosh Area Humane Society is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated

Along with pet adoptions, OAHS also helps reunite lost pets with their owners, provides animal behavior counseling to members of the community and offers low-cost spay/ neuter services in conjunction with other animal welfare organizations. OAHS is an open-admission shelter, with an average yearly intake of 2,200 animals.

Their volunteer foster care program makes this possible and foster homes are always needed, primarily for cats. To learn more about OAHS, visit www. oahs.org or call (920) 424-2128.
