Council Moves Toward More Downtown Parking
The Oshkosh city council approved buying the old Telephone Co building at 111 Algoma Blvd for 37,000 plus 1,000 in legal fees and agreed to acquire 10 Otter St parcel for 6,000 to support downtown parking.

Most Maligned Man Captain Bligh Remembered at 150th Death Anniversary
A churchyard crowd in London marks Captain William Bligh of the Bounty death 150 years ago amid calls to reevaluate his legacy. Naval historian Christopher Lloyd praises his skill, courage, and moral steadiness despite a temper and poor relations with others. Lloyd notes Bligh navigated a 23 foot boat 3600 miles after the mutiny and later earned commendation from Nelson. Reverend Oliver Fiennes joins in prayers for Pitcairn descendants as Bligh’s tomb, bomb-damaged in WWII, is restored for the anniversary.
