Good morning, Whitewater
Today, beginning at 6:15 p.m., there will be a meeting of Whitewater’s Nominations Committee. Afterward, at 6:30 p.m. there will be a meeting of the World’s Finest Deliberative Body Whitewater’s Common Council. The agenda for the council session is online at the city’s website.
In our schools today, Pennies for Patients continues at Lakeview and Washington Schools, and at 6:30 p.m. there will be a PTA meeting at Lakeview School.
The National Weather Service predicts today will bring thunderstorms (70% chance) with a high of 67. The Farmers’ Almanac predicts “squalls especially Great Lakes area.”
Yesterday’s better prediction: NWS — no squalls in Whitewater yesterday.
On this day in history, in 1774, an odd moment in our history — Wisconsin became part of Quebec. Here’s the tale, from the Wisconsin Historical Society:
On this date Britain passed the Quebec Act, making Wisconsin part of the province of Quebec. Enacted by George III, the act restored the French form of civil law to the region. The Thirteen Colonies considered the Quebec Act as one of the “Intolerable Acts,” as it nullified Western claims of the coast colonies by extending the boundaries of the province of Quebec to the Ohio River on the south and to the Mississippi River on the west.
