Thought I would share two messages that went out to the East Portland
Parks Coalition today:

Off-Leash Task Force:
Alesia [Reese]emailed a request to Robin [Grimwade] to send the 2005
meeting schedule for the Off-Leash Advisory Committee. His reply is
below. The Parks Bureau view is that this committee has accomplished
their task and is no longer necessary, so the committee has been
disbanded.

"The dog off leash advisory committee is not scheduled to meet in
2005. The committee was established to evaluate and make
recommendations in relation to the dog off leash trial that operated
in 2003/04."

To:  Teams 4 Portland Parks
From:  Cascade Anderson Geller, Southeast Portland
Regarding:  City of Portland budget meetings pretaining to parks and
general budget meetings, times, places

Hello,

As this is the week that these meetings specific to parks budgets is
being held, I wanted to send this reminder of meeting times and places.
   Please double check that these times are still correct.

One issue of great importance to the present and future of our city's
livability is the lack of park acquisitions in this time of tremendous
outlying growth and in-filling.  Property prices are only going to
increase and available property will decrease.  These factors have and
will continue to make acquisitions more and more difficult.

Portland only became a city famous for parks due to citizen activism.
What boosted our park acreage into a notable place was the creation of
Forest Park in 1947.  Forest Park was slated, in 1915, to be a large
development, thus Leif Erickson Drive.  Circumstances derailed that
project but the City was not keen on acquiring this land for a park.
It was the will, and the pocketbooks, of the people that have
essentially driven the political and bureaucratic processes that have
led to park creation and led to our green reputation.

As we enjoy our parks today because of the foresight of previous civic
leaders, we owe it to future generations, of humans and wildlife, to
set aside land.  Even if undeveloped for our use, it will be available
for them.  Without our voices, this is not going to happen.  We cannot
afford to say that we cannot afford to acquire or maintain parks
without a great loss to our lives in Portland.

Thank you for your interest in Portland's parks.

Cascade Anderson Geller

As a member of SPLAT (Skatepark Leadership Advisory Team) I'm
forwarding this message from Bryan Aptekar.  I plan to attend at least
three of the meetings -- and possibly all six of them. The SPLAT
members really need to get a feel for how much support or opposition
there is for each potential site, so I urge you to attend the meetings
and/or review the material on-line, then submit comments -- and
encourage others to do the same.  Thanks!

--------------------------
Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) and the Skatepark Leadership
Advisory Team (SPLAT), our siting committee, are working to finalize
the list of sites recommended for the city-wide skatepark system.

Beginning next week, we are hosting a series of public meetings with
many of the Neighborhood Associations, to discuss the most promising
sites for skateparks in the City of Portland. These meetings are
primarily intended for members of the community to learn more about
the project and share their thoughts about the sites still being
considered - so mark your calendars and spread the word.

These meetings will include a brief presentation on the siting
process, the vision for Portland's proposed skatepark system and a
discussion of the sites in that area.  The primary purpose of the
meetings is for members of the SPLAT and representatives from the
various neighborhood associations to hear from you.

The project website
(http://www.portlandparks.org/planning/skatepark/index.htm) has all
the information you need to learn about the project; the proposed
system, a city map with all 22 sites still being considered, as well
as a set of flyers announcing the meetings . These full sheets and
quarter sheet pages are there for you to print out and distribute as
you see fit.

We'll have plenty of time for people to both learn about and voice
their thoughts on the sites being considered at these meetings.

Opportunities to review the information and to provide your input will
be available on the project website by the end of the day on Monday -
March 7th. We will take comment on the proposals for one month.

The SPLAT will use the comments it receives from this series of
meetings to make the final decisions about which sites to recommend
for future development, and which two should be developed first, with
Parks Levy funds.

Below is a list of all the meeting times:

Outer NE Portland Sites
Monday, March 7th, 6:30- 8:00 p.m.
Parkrose High School
12003 NE Shaver St in the Community Room

Inner NE Sites
Tuesday, March 8th, 7-8:30 p.m.

Here are some options for subscribing/unsubscribing to this list:

1.  If you do not wish to belong to Team4PortlandParks, you may unsubscribe by sending an email to

Team4PortlandParks-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com

You don't need to ask the list administrator to unsubscribe you, just send a blank e-mail to the above, and you're done!

2.  To see and modify your group preferences, go to

http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups

There, you can choose the "Digest" option, which sends you just one e-mail per day containing all the individual messages, which you can skim quickly to see if any pertain to you.  Or I think you can choose "web only", which allows you to read all posts on the web site whenever you choose, and not receive any e-mails at all.  I say "I think" because I personally am having a problem with yahoolists, and can't access the web site or the change preferences option.  That's OK with me because the T4PP messages don't take very long to read .... except yesterday's on Mt Tabor Park, which was fascinating and I plan to read it again.

The list moderators have no way of knowing which topics interest individual readers, so we won't be highlighting some posts as critical and others not.  The instructions about unsubscribing were in the first message you received after signing up, so if you didn't save that, everyone, save this one so in the future you know how to unsubscribe whenever you want to.

I hope one of these options will work for those overwhelmed with the volume of messages so far.  Remember, this is the beginning of our conversation.  As with any social gathering, there will be some minor chat as well as the posts that speak to the heart of the CWPT mission.

Any ideas, then, on why I'm not able to sign-in at portlandonline?  I tried
clearing the cookie file and allowing the acceptance of cookies, as
suggested.  Also tried turning off pop-up blocker and emptying the
temporary file.

I'm using a PC that's less than a year old with Windows XP as the operating
system.

I was able to set up an account, and received confirmation with a
password.  Was even able to request a new password (thinking I'd forgotten
the correct one).  Even tried setting up another account, but wasn't
permitted to because an account already exists for my email name.  When I
try to sign-in, I don't get an error message; the screen just returns to
the page I was at before trying to sign-in.

Don't know what else to try.  Anybody have any ideas?

Garden.
http://www.friendspdxgardens.org/index.htm

This link is to Portland Indy Media on which City Commissioner Randy

said this in general about the Budgets Cuts proposed by the Parks
department.  "I am more than a little pissed at the management of the

think Commissioner Leonard Support will change many of the proposed

While I am able to access some features of the 'portlandonline' web site, I
have not been able to 'sign in".  Unfortunately, you need to sign in to
access some features, including many of the opportunities to comment on
specific issues.

I've had some communication with some of the technical assistance folks at
ONI, who have concluded that the problem is probably that I use Netscape as
my browser, instead of Microsoft's Internet Explorer.  They say they've put
in a request to 'portlandonline' to 'support Netscape' but there is little

Mount Tabor Park's History - Spend St. Patrick's Evening Celebrating
the Green with a Slide Show and Presentation
March 17, 2005 in the Chapel at the Western Seminary, S.E. 55th Ave. &
Hawthorne Blvd. at 7 P.M.

Join people who care deeply about Mount Tabor Park, as well as all of
Portland's parks, as the Friends of Mount Tabor Park host an evening
slide show recounting Mount Tabor Park's rich history.  The slide show
will be presented by Cascade Anderson Geller.  A long-time resident of
Mount Tabor neighborhood, she was a founding member of the Friends of
the Reservoirs and was instrumental in getting  Mount Tabor Park, and
the reservoirs at both Mount Tabor Park and Washington Park, listed on
the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.  She has prepared a
timeline of events, marking the development of Mount Tabor Park, for
participants.

Zari Santner, director of Portland Parks and Recreation, will lead off
the evening with a review of budget considerations that can impact not
only Mount Tabor Park's future, but all of Portland's parks.

Mount Tabor Park's history is a perfect starting point to help
determine the future of this, and all of Portland's parks.  If not for
citizen activism, Portland would not have the nearly 200 acres that
comprise Mount Tabor Park, Portland's largest park for nearly fifty
years.  If not for turn of the century citizen "push clubs" advocating
for park land to be acquired, Portland would not have gained the
reputation of a city dedicated to green space.  Just as burgeoning
population caused intense interest in public parks at the turn of the
last century, in the 21st century, citizen involvement is needed more
than ever to make sure that Portland acquires and maintains the park
lands that have made it famous.

This event is co-sponsored by the Friends of the Reservoirs, and both
groups will have T-shirts and other items, available for sale.

This evening kicks off the plaque drive.  Donations will be accepted
for the purchase of plaques to be placed in the park indicating that
the park and reservoirs are on the National Register of Historic
Places.  The Friends of the Reservoirs are also donating their Spirit
of Portland Volunteer Group of the Year 2004 award plaque for mounting
in the park.  Beautiful cards, created and donated by local artist Dee
Packard, will be available to purchase and these proceeds will go
towards the plaque fund.

Refreshments will be served.


Some things you might not have known about Mount Tabor Park and many of
Portland's historic parks:

Mount Tabor butte was chosen as a site for the first two of the four
reservoirs built in 1894 that delivered Bull Run mountain water to the
City of Portland.  Utilizing service by gravity and expert
craftsmanship, the reservoirs were designed with the City Beautiful
principle of "beautility."  In 1911, two more grand reservoirs were
constructed.  All of these reservoirs, including the two at Washington
Park, are some of the most significant historic resources in the City
and the State of Oregon.  They were listed in the National Register of
Historic Places in 2004.  Siting these reservoirs at the butte helped
to encourage Mount Tabor's official designation as a city park,
Portland's largest for nearly 50 years.

Though already being utilized as a park by citizens, Mount Tabor, was
identified as prime parkland by John Charles Olmsted in 1903 in his
report to the Park Board.  This report, that identified and made
recommendations about potential parks throughout the City, became a
defining tool, still used today, in Portland's park planning. The
esteemed Olmsted Firm, made famous by John's father (and uncle),
Frederick Law Olmsted, helped to create the profession of landscape
design, that grew into urban planning.  Their many projects in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries helped to define America's designed
landscape.  Their work includes some of the most gracious famous public
and private green spaces in the nation including the nation's Capital
Building grounds, New York's Central Park, Niagara Falls, Arnold
Arboretum at Harvard University, and many others.

Mount Tabor Park's design, including the nursery, was carried out by
park superintendent Emanuel T. Mische.  Mische was a master
horticulturist trained at Kew Gardens in London, who was a landscape
designer for the Olmsted firm and recommended to the City of Portland
for the position of park superintendent personally by the Olmsteds.
Mische's design adheres to the design principles as defined by the
Olmsted principles of landscape design.  An example of this is the way
that all of the historic restrooms are built in positions so as not to
detract from the natural features of the landscape.

Mische's assistant, Charles Paul Keyser, who supervised Portland's
parks for 40 years, helped insure that Mische's basic design features
were developed and maintained.  The influence of these three people is
still enjoyed by thousands of users in parks throughout Portland today.

Mount Tabor Park is the second Portland park to achieve a listing on
the National Register of Historic Places.  The first was Laurelhurst
Park, another Olmsted park in southeast Portland.

Mount Tabor Park is the site of one of the few urban volcanoes in the
world.  Cinders from the crater site have been used throughout the
region for road building and landscaping.

Mount Tabor Park has viewpoints, such as the one overlooking reservoir
6 to the west, protected by the City's Scenic Resources Protection
plan.

The statue of Oregonian editor Harvey Scott, erected in 1933 by his
family, is the work of Gutzon Borglum, designer and sculptor of the
faces of the Presidents at Mount Rushmore Monument in South Dakota.

The once prevalent China pheasants, whose crows were a distinctive
element of a park visit, were established early in the park's history.
They have apparently become extinct due to habitat loss and increased
human and canine activities.

Greetings,
There are several aspects that the volunteer forms do
not address and the EPNO Parks Committee will track in
our projects.
1. The amount of time spent researching, grant
writing,
networking, etc. general advocacy for parks, open and
green spaces.
2. The resources used to support projects including
computers, internet access, printers, faxes, flyers.
The EPNO Parks Committee discussed the subtle forms of
support not visible-the hours and resources spent
supporting projects.
One technique would be to have a paper and pencil
handy at the phone and computer to jot down the amount
of time spent on parks, who was called, the efforts
needed to get a garden, park or event going.
Data gained from tracking volunteer hours may be very
useful in writing grants and demonstrating the value
of volunteers to the City and Bureau.
The EPNO Parks Committee will experiment with these
several formats is open to adaptations based on

Hi everyone,
   I just uploaded the volunteer timesheets that we received from parks.  One
is a monthly tracking sheet and the other is a quarterly tracking sheet.  I
have two formats in the file section, one is MS Word format, the other is a
more generic rich text format that most text editors can read in.  Let me
know if you have trouble downloading these files or need another format and
I can email them to you directly.

I also have volunteer consent forms that I can upload as well.  One of them
specifies Woodstock CC, but that can be edited to say the appropriate
location that applies.

I hope that helps.

Desiree

Yes!  Thanks Paula & Ellen for getting this email list up and running.

Now I have a request.  Someone at the meeting on Feb 17 (I believe it was
Ellen, but I'm not certain), said there is a form available for tracking
park volunteer hours.

The East Portland Parks Coalition decided, at our meeting last night, to
track all our volunteer time related to parks -- at least for a few months.
So, I'd be interested in getting a copy of any volunteer tracking form used
by Portland Parks or other similar groups.  Thanks.
