NEW BOARD MEMBER AT LARGE: BUTCH CHONG For the past 11 years Butch has been an integral part of the GSC Tai Chi program as a volunteer instructor, attaining Senior Trainer status in June of 2016. “People have said I was wild in my younger days,” Butch admits, “I didn't think I’d live to see 40. But I’m happy with what I’m doing now.” Interested in martial arts from an early age. Butch later studied with Dr. Paul Lam’s and his Tai Chi for Health programs and studied Traditional Sun with Tim Cartnell. In 2011 Butch went to China for a 24-day Tai Chi retreat. “The high- light was seeing and photographing the Terracotta Soldiers in Xi’an.” Butch worked at the Post Office first as a clerk, his last 7 years in management a total of 30 years before retiring. His ministry at East Hill Four Square Church brought him into contact with the woman he says “keeps me on an even keel,” his wife JoAnn. In November they will celebrate their 17th anniversary. The couple began attending GSC Tai Chi classes in 2009.

We are hoping our supporters (Vendors/Shoppers/Store Volunteers) for the Gresham Senior Center (GSC) are do- ing well. The Shoppe has not been open since March. I have been able to come in at least once a month. Those of you who are dedicated vendors would be able to pick up items if you need them for a fall bazaar. Just call this number (503.988.9894) to setup a date and time if you need to pickup items. This process takes a bit of time to take items out of inventory. At this time we are not sure when we will open. The state and county makes the decision for our reopen- ing date. We serve the most vulnerable age group affected by this virus. Please also keep in mind that how the Center will operate will be in a completely different way.

Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze the dispersion of architectural types within the Willamette Valley revealed trends amongst the extant settlement architecture samples. Brownsville, Oregon, was identified to have a locally-specific architectural subtype, the closer study of which enabled deeper investigation of the development of architectural landscapes during the Willamette Valley’s settlement period.

Each box along the top line of this flow chart corresponds to a document or tool providing information on that aspect of the process. The Preservation Toolkit is oriented toward small-to-medium sized commercial properties, but portions will benefit those working on historic homes as well. It should be noted that, in reality, the process is not as linear as it is illustrated here and sometimes steps must be taken in tandem. We have not attempted to go into full detail or cover all aspects of what can be complex interdependent considerations. Every historic project is unique. But we hope these modules provide a helpful framework from which to organize and move forward. © 2016 Restore Oregon All Rights Reserved MODULE Preservation Toolkit An Orientation to Preservation & 01 Adaptive Reuse Preservation and reuse can mean different things to different people.

As you will see in the qualifications outlined herein, our project team is uniquely qualified for this scope of work.

Each team member’s experience not only exceeds the qualifications for historic preservation professionals outlined by the National Park Service, but includes demonstrated familiarity with comparable studies of mid-century resources combined with public engagement and planning components. You will find this combination of skills and experience will be an asset to the project and ensures documentation of mid-century Spokane and recommendations for its future preservation will rely on the judgment of professionals trained in all National Register criteria. Furthermore, we are proud to offer two public meetings and four options of additional deliverables from which the City/County can choose.

Research, Interviews & Site Visits Late Summer 2010 Report Released September 30, 2010 In January 2010, Restore Oregon (formerly the Historic Preservation League of Oregon) launched the Preservation Roundtable to bring together diverse perspectives to address the topic of Healthy Historic Districts in a Changing World – Compatibility & Viability. The recommendations presented in this report were defined by Preservation Roundtable participants, who represented the wide range of views and geography that characterize Oregon’s historic districts. Over 100 business owners, community leaders, real estate developers, historians, urban planners and residents from Astoria to Pendleton to Jacksonville participated, defining common obstacles to district vitality and exploring diverse solutions. While not intended to represent a comprehensive examination of every issue, this report and its nine key action items offer a call to action - a road map to dramatically improve the cultural, economic, and environmental sustainability of dozens of communities across our state. If the enthusiastic participation in the 2010 Preservation Roundtable is any indicator, Oregon’s historic districts have a bright future ahead.
