  • 2003-2004 Annual Budget
    - Oregon - 2003-2004 Annual Budget ABOUT THE COVER or several years, it has been our policy to cover our annual budget and the corresponding compre- hensive annual financial report with original art by a member of our burgeoning colony of local artists. We have included a historic perception located on the back cover. The Butler-Perozzi ountain, purchased by Ashland philanthropists Domingo D Perozzi and Gwin S. Butler at the 1916 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San rancisco, has long been a source of pride for the City since its dedication that summer. Sculpted in lorence, Italy, by artist A. rilli, the fountain was named by Ashland for the Citys two benefactors, who purchased the sculpture for $3,000 to commemorate their donations of land for the park. ront Butler Perozzi ountain - Jerry Whitsett Jerry Whitsett, a native of Southern Oregon, has lived in Ashland for 38 years. He retired as a stock- broker six years ago and now paints exclusively in watercolors frequently depicting familiar scenes of Ashland and the surrounding area. Jerry also enjoys painting wildlife and subjects based on his extensive travel. He exhibits locally and in many galleries throughout the Northwest.

  • An Introduction to the History of the Rogue Valley
    An introduction to the History of the Rogue Valley With a focus on the Ashland area Presented by: North Mountain Park Nature Center A division of the Ashland Parks and Recreation Department Version 4: December 2012 About this booklet This booklet, which is one piece of the North Mountain Park Nature Center’s interpretation of local cultural history, looks at the use of natural resources and the impact that this use has had on the local ecology. The area represented by the term “local” includes the Rogue Valley of southwest Oregon, with an emphasis on the Ashland area. While every attempt has been made to ensure accuracy, this booklet is not meant to be a formal work but is rather to be used by educators and others seeking an introduction to the topic of local history. It is hoped that readers of this booklet will be inspired to use this information to help make decisions that will enhance the livability of the Rogue Valley for both its people and its wildlife now and into the future. Contributing editors include: Michael Parker, Jeff La Lande and Ben Truwe. Other background booklets available in the North Mountain Park series on the Rogue Valley: Geology, Water, Plants, Animals, and Native Americans. History of North Mountain Park Each section of this booklet contains a box that focuses specifically on the site that is now North Mountain Park. This park, which was purchased from two families, the Hodgins in 1993 and the Gunters in 1994, contains 40 acres of developed ball fields and naturalized floodplain.
