The cemetery is the final resting place of the Reverend Jack Yates.

newly emancipated, worked as a drayman, was an ordained minister and

[Neartown] Trees Avaialble In Hyde Park

[Mark Johnson]

Cherryhurst Park

Trees Available In Hyde Park
This News Item was posted June 1, 2009 and will continue through June  
30, 2009.


The City of Houston has provided Neartown residents with 100 free  
hardwood trees (74 remaining) for streetside planting.


There are two requirements:

the trees must be planted in the right-of-way, and
the new owner must water and feed the trees until established -  
usually two years.
There is no limit on the number of trees as long as there is  
sufficient planting space available. Species include bur oak, willow  
oak, water oak, sawtooth oak, sweetgum, pecan, cedar elm, winged elm  
and bald cypress.


For specific questions or to arrange for viewing and pickup, contact  
Kathy Schipper at kathleenca...@sbcglobal.net.


The address is 1118 California, a green house located one block north  
and one block west of the intersection of Montrose and Westheimer  
(behind Mary's Lounge). The gate is locked.


We've planted over 1200 trees in the last seven years. This is the  
last giveaway I am doing. Historically they go fast once the word gets  
out.

[Neartown] New Items section added to Neartown.org website

[Mark Johnson]

FYI, I have added a new section to the Neartown.org website that  
allows for the posting of news items for the Neartown community. The  
first item was posted this morning.


The items appear under the "Community" button, but also pop up when  
you first go to neartown.org, and also appear in the left column when  
you go to the Home button. Items have a listing and an end-listing  
date, so only current news items of interest will show appear, making  
site maintenance easier.


Please email me if you have an item you want posted.

Thanks,

Texas Green Ash, Retama (Jerusaleum Thorn), Evergreen elm, Mountain Laurel, 
Redbud, Red Maple and Mexican plum.

[Neartown] Fwd: *EMCA* The passing of Bob Farquharson

[Mark Johnson]

To all our East Montrose neighbors,

Our good friend and neighbor Bob Farquharson passed away early last Saturday, 
October 23rd. His death was sudden and unexpected. His family chose to honor 
his passing without public ceremony. Neither a funeral nor a memorial service 
is planned at this time.

For those of you who did not know Bob, he was President of the East Montrose 
Civic Association for the year 2008. He was a true asset to the community, and 
we will all miss him.

Bob's obituary is expected to be in The Houston Chronicle on Sunday, October 
31. In case you don't see the newspaper, the following is the text of his 
obituary.

--
OBITUARY:

Robert C. Farquharson II, 66, passed away early Saturday morning, October 23, 
2010, at his home in the Montrose area, in Houston. He died peacefully in the 
arms of his beloved spouse, Bob Mills. 

Robert was born in Gulfport, Mississippi on November 30, 1943. He attended 
primary and secondary schools on Long Island, New York; Clark University in 
Worcester, Massachusetts; Jacksonville University, Jacksonville, Florida, where 
he was awarded the Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education; the 
University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he was awarded the 
Master's degree in Educational Administration; and was also admitted to 
candidacy for the Doctor of Philosophy degree at the University of Florida. He 
maintained numerous academic and professional credentials in teaching, 
leadership, management and administration.

Robert enjoyed a long and distinguished career in the field of Education. He 
began as an elementary school teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, before moving 
to the Houston Independent School District (HISD) in 1970. His many positions 
at HISD over the next 34 years began with elementary school teaching and 
progressed through assignments as principal of elementary schools, middle 
schools and high schools. He eventually became District Executive Director, 
HISD Southwest, and Director of Main Event Management Systems Administration. 
After officially retiring from his HISD position, Robert taught management and 
systems theory for a local consulting firm. Robert continued teaching until his 
death, at which time he was an instructor of English as a Second Language with 
the Houston Community College.
Robert's accomplishments were even more notable because of the significant 
health challenges he faced. In 1998, he was diagnosed with advanced cancer and 
given little hope for survival. After enduring extensive chemotherapy, 
radiation and massive surgery, he conquered the odds and continued his work.

In addition to occupying various positions of professional leadership, Robert 
was a highly respected social leader and community supporter for many years, 
serving as President of the East Montrose Civic Association, and representing 
the neighborhood in political and social activities. He was the master of the 
written and spoken word, and happily shared his wisdom and abilities with all 
who asked.

Robert is survived by his spouse and life partner of 31 years, Bob Mills, to 
whom he was married in Connecticut in July 2010. He is also survived by his 
mother, Shirley Farquharson, and his sister, Sue Buerkel, both of Mastic, New 
York.

Robert will be sorely missed by his spouse, family, many dear friends, 
neighbors, former students and co-workers. 

Memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society, with a specific 
designation for colorectal cancer.

[Neartown] SNAP Items: Final Request.

[Mark Johnson]

Dear Neartown Neighbors:


This is the final request for proposals for the 2011 Super Neighborhood Action 
Plan (SNAP) submittal process for the Neartown / Montrose SN #24 area.  With 
Friday the 14th of January upon us as the imposed deadline from the City of 
Houston, our 25 priorities for improvement will need to be sent to the Planning 
and Development Department by the end of the week.  With close to that number 
already suggested by Civic Associations and other neighbors in the community, 
we have set Wednesday the 12th of January at noon as the cut off for any 
additional requests to allow time for us to collate and process the information 
received.  If you or your organization have any final ideas that should be 
made, please forward those to thepresid...@neartown.org account with specific 
location and project scope for review and inclusion on our list or to be 
addressed with an alternative action.  Thanks in advance for your excellent 
ideas for improving the great place we live and work in the Neartown / Montrose 
area.

Thank you,

David Robinson,

> "The Houston Parks and Recreation Department is closing eight swimming pools 
> and seven community centers.  These facilities have the lowest usage, are in 
> need of repairs or are within at least two miles of another City pool or 
> community center.  One additional pool will be closed due to renovation.  
> Despite these closings, many of the department’s popular offerings, including

> 
> Then Nicole, Cherryhurst Park Building Manager,  provided me with the

> 
> --C is not in need of repairs and is in much better physical shape than RO.  
> This month a brand new, efficient AC system was installed at C. 
> --HOURS:   C is open Tue, Thu, & Fri from 2-8pm AND Mon & Wed from 10am -8pm 
> while RO is open M-F from 2-6pm only
> --TODDLER PROGRAM:  C has, RO does not.
> --AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM (ASEP):   C provides an ASEP while RO does 
> not.   Students at Wilson Elementary can walk 2 blocks to C.  
> If RO was to host this program:  their nearest elementary school students 
> (River Oaks Elementary at Kirby & San Felipe) would have to walk an 
> equivalent of 20 blocks & cross major, busy intersections (most likely they 
> would be driven) and Wilson Elementary students would have to be driven. 
> --TEEN PROGRAM:  (generally a small number)  Some teens already come from 
> Lamar High School.  This age group can easily and more safely take the 
> Westheimer bus than elementary students!
> --RENTALS:  (public reservations for the building)   The RO manager 
> frequently sends people to C because the building is so much nicer.
> --CLASSES OPEN TO PUBLIC:   C has classes two nights a week (Tai Chi, I 
> believe), other types of classes are possible if there is interest
> --PUBLIC GROUP MEETINGS:  Cherryhurst Civic Association (3-4/year), & 
> Neartown (monthly) both have their meetings/functions there.
> --PUBLIC RESTROOM:  C park is heavily used and the public needs access to a 
> restroom.
> 
> 
> Photo Documentation for an argument:
> Tomorrow I will go to the River Oaks Park Building to take photographs & talk 
> with the manager there.  I will then take photos of Cherryhurst Park Building 
> for comparison.
> 
> 
> I believe a group effort combined with a solid list of arguments and photo 
> documentation will be most effective.
> 
> If you share my views, I would appreciate your thoughts and additional ideas 
> of how to fight this closing.  Also, let me know if you are willing to take 
> some action (phone call, write a letter, and/or visit with city official).

[Neartown] Fwd: [CherryhurstCivicClub] YOU ARE NEEDED THIS THURSDAY!

[Mark Johnson]

Cherryhurst neighbors, friends, and revelers--  
Great meeting tonight with Council member Wanda Adams and Deputy Parks Director, Doug Earle (among others on those teams).  I think I counted 30 of us tonight.
But to all who were there, all who had to leave, as well as those who couldn't attend, I'm emailing to ask for your help:
We're down to the wire on getting an extension on keeping this community center open for another year, while we come up with a fiscal game plan. Wanda Adams is going to try to negotiate an agreement with the mayor in which the mayor would approve extending our community center's "life" for another year while we come up with a game plan for funding the center. This plan, which might include our filing for 5013C non-profit status, renting the center, possibly splitting operation hours and programs with River Oaks, raising funds, and cutting dollars, would be presented to the Council next year. But the goal for the moment is to buy some time --one year-- and create this plan.  
So--- in order to get the mayor to buy in on this, we've got to press on -- with letters and emails and shows of attendance.  The next week or two are critical.  They vote next week.  Wanda Adams said she will push this plan -- that we be granted another year-- but she needs us to put out a great show of support at the Parks Department budget meeting THIS THURSDAY, JUNE 9, AT 2:00.  This is the day for discussing the Parks Department's fiscal budget. (Wanda's assistant is going to do his best to confirm tomorrow that 2PM or so is "roughly" when we'd be discussing the issue so that we're not sitting around all afternoon. He'll get back to us if that changes.)   
Wanda beseeched us... implored us BEGGED us to show up in numbers at the Council meeting this Thursday. Without a strong show of support, she loses a lot of leverage.  She said that just saying  "I'm speaking on behalf of X number of my neighbors" does NOT make an impact on the Council; however, Cherryhurst residents showing up and sitting in the audience does. We need to continue to put ourselves on top of the Parks agenda... and the mayor's mind.
The Council should  have the budget decided upon either by the end of THIS week or the end of NEXT week. "Debates" about the proposed budget will be on the 21st, but it will be signed, sealed, and done on June 29. 
So, please: show up if you can.  We don't want to see this center boarded up, and our days are numbered for buying time. So far, 5 of us have committed to show up on Thursday (2 or 3 of us are speaking; the other 2 will be there for moral support). However, we need many, many more.  
If you can go, and can grab some retirees to go, too, can you let us know?  We will be meeting on the steps of City Hall (by the reflecting pool, on the building's east side) at 1:45.  And for anyone who would like to speak at the meeting, we'll have a very quick meeting tomorrow evening from 6-6:30 at Carol Rensink's just to recap the key points we need to make, according to Wanda Adams. 
SO, WHO'S IN?  I'm in, and I'm driving Larry and Lillian.  ANYONE ELSE COMING?  Come on... now's the time.  WE NEED YOU!  FIRE UP THE CHERRIES!

[Neartown] Council Member Lovell Dedicates Funds for Cherryhurst Center

[Mark Johnson]

The 80-year-old center building is a fixture in Cherryhurst and the surrounding neighborhoods..   # # #___
