AT SOUTHWEST COMMUNITY CENTER

The Multnomah Arts Center is excited to announce the creation of a new Woodshop and Sculpture Arts Studio, housed in Cottage 5 on the west end of the MAC campus. This 1000 square foot studio is home to a growing woodshop and sculpture program. Our vision for this studio is to offer courses, workshops, demonstrations and lectures for all ages and abilities. Art forms to be taught include woodturning, woodcarving, woodworking, small-scale sculpture including stone, mixed media, basketry and more. Courses for fall included basketry, woodturning, and basic woodshop skills for youth and adults. More offerings are being developed now for the winter term.

This studio was made possible thanks to the incredible volunteer contributions of Jerry Harris and Russ Coker. Combined, they provided hundreds of hours of hands on expertise developing the classroom to meet the specific needs of a specialized studio. Thanks also go to our all-volunteer nonprofit friends group, the Multnomah Arts Center Association, which helped by purchasing materials and equipment needed for this arts studio.

Please visit www.MultnomahArtsCenter.org to view our catalog online and to learn more about MAC diverse arts offerings including woodworking, sculpture, and basketry.

HILLSIDE COMMUNITY CENTER UPDATE



Parks Committee work

The committee has been following the planning for the River View Natural Area (RVNA). Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) formed an advisory committee to draft a management plan for RVNA. That work is coming to a close. Next steps are opportunities for public comment and a presentation to the Portland City Council for its approval. In March of 2015, PP&R and the Bureau of Environmental Services implemented interim policy changes to limit activities in RVNA to passive nature-based recreational uses like hiking,

wildlife viewing, education, etc. That decision effectively prohibits mountain biking. Committee members discussed different ideas for protection of RVNA. One idea is to establish a defined interior area that is off-limits for any activity. It could have a split rail fence or other barrier to keep dogs and people out.

Activities in parks not related to the core mission of parks caught the attention of committee members. July 4th brought

attention to the use of fireworks in parks. Fireworks are not allowed in any

Portland parks or natural area. Camping in parks is another difficult issue. Based on reports from this past January’s annual homeless count, Portland has about 3,800 homeless people, with about 1,880 of them living outdoors. PP&R’s policy is to treat homeless people with compassion and respect. To carry out that policy, PP&R takes these steps in dealing with the homeless: 1) Educates them about available social services; 2) Notifies JOIN, an organization that helps the homeless; 3) Gives campers notice in writing when they are required to abandon campsites; and 4) Participates in camp cleanups. Many homeless deal with additional problems of physical disabilities, substance issues and mental health concerns.

There’s good news regarding tobacco use in parks – PP&R expanded its ban on smoke and tobacco to all parks, natural areas, recreation areas, and any other area where PP&R rules apply.

Committee members have addressed many issues in the past six months. The committee took positions supporting the retention of surplus city property for public use. The issue in part was triggered by the sale of Water Bureau property

in the Multnomah neighborhood. The committee approved motions to preserve the Smith School field in the Ashcreek neighborhood for public use, and to install portable toilets in all parks. We thank all the PP&R guests who have attended our recent meetings. Park Ranger Kevin Perrine attended our August meeting and reported on the work of the Rangers. In September, Stefanus Gunawan and Elizabeth Kennedy-Wong reported on PP&R’s partnership with UnderArmour to improve the fields at Duniway and Lents parks. And on a rotating basis, PP&R employees Terri Davis and Astrid Dragoy have informed the committee on matters of recreational programming and natural area stewardship.

Friends of Spring Garden Park

The Parks Committee long has had a relationship with the Friends of Spring Garden Park. The Friends are a committee of the Multnomah Neighborhood Association, and they have tirelessly worked to improve the park, which for many years was just a field. They raised money, held fun events in the park for children, educated the public, and built a small play area at the south end of the park. Then just a few years ago, the city earmarked money for formal development of the park, and on September 29, 2015, an event called the Spring Garden Park Community Gathering was held at the Multnomah Arts Center. PP&R staffers presented three conceptual designs for improvements in the park. The turnout was good, and ideas were shared. After so many years, we’re getting closer to a developed Spring Garden Park.

The park project can be found here: http://www.portlandoregon.gov/parks/67420

Parks Committee meetings

The committee is one of the standing committees of Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc., a nonprofit corporation that serves seventeen neighborhood associations in southwest Portland. The committee meets every first Thursday of the month, usually at the Multnomah Arts Center. The public is always invited to attend. For more information, call Leonard at 503-823-4592. And subscribe to SWNI’s monthly newspaper, the SW Neighborhood News, by calling or visiting the website, www.swni.org. It’s free.



What motivates you to live a healthy, active life?

The desire to enjoy life to its fullest for as long as possible!

Tell us a little about your background: Where you grew up, past work experience, how you became interested in becoming a fitness professional, etc.

I grew up in California. My family moved around a lot but we spent most of our time in Livermore. In 1982, at the age of 17, I enlisted in the U.S Army and spent the next 3 years stationed in Washington DC. I worked as a communications specialist with the Old Guard, the ceremonial unit and escort to the President. When my enlistment ended I returned to California only to find that my family had moved to Oregon, so in 1985 I headed north and came to rest in Albany.

Over the next 5 years I became the father of 3 amazing children; Amber, Kaytie and Nick and moved to Dallas, OR where I began working as a logger. During my 10 years working in the woods I sustained a back injury that put me out of work for 6 months. I only bring this up because this injury would follow me for years and continued to be an issue well into my 40’s until I began exercising on a regular basis. Since then, I have not had to deal with the pain I had convinced myself was just a part of my life. There is a message there!!

Stepping back just a bit, after spending 10 years working in the woods, and another 6 working as a heavy equipment operator, I moved to Portland and began working for Oregon State Parks. I spent the better part of the next 10 years sitting in a cubicle. It was during this time I became very sedentary and soon tipped the scales at close to 250 pounds. After my

father died due to complications associated with obesity, I realized I needed to make some changes in my lifestyle and I purchased a gym membership.

Over the course of the next few years, I began dropping weight and became interested in running and competing in obstacle races.

Interview with Personal Trainer, John CunninghamInterviewed by Katie Schalk, Fitness Department, SWCC

Entering those races was how I kept myself motivated in the beginning and through them I began to meet people with amazing life changing stories of their own. It wasn’t long before I realized I wanted to be part of those changes by helping motivate, train and encourage anyone willing to take steps to improve their health. It was this newfound desire which led me to enroll in the Fitness Technology (Fit Tech) program at Portland Community College, where I earned my associates’ degree in exercise science, and received my personal trainer certification with the American College of Sports Medicine.

How did you become interested in working at Southwest Community Center?

While attending Portland Community College the students of the Fit Tech program are introduced to fitness professionals from many clubs in the Portland Metro area. SWCC is very supportive of the program and was represented by a former employee, Holly Howard. I was immediately taken with Holly’s professionalism and asked for an interview for an internship. Many of you may already know the rest of this story, but for those who don’t, Holly offered me a position shortly after I began my internship. I gave it some long hard consideration and within a minute I accepted! The members and staff are amazing and it was a no brainer that I wanted to be part of the fitness team at SWCC.

Tell me a little bit about the rest of the SWCC Fitness Team.

I absolutely love working with the fitness team at SWCC. We don’t get a lot of time together, but when we do, we share ideas about training, brainstorm about improving the fitness program and generally offer each other any support we may need. I think I have it best because everyone here has been working in fitness much longer than me, which means I have more to learn from them then they can from me. (Bonus of being the new guy!) All kidding aside, it feels like family and I love being part of this team.

What is your favorite part about working in a community center rather than a traditional gym setting?

COMMUNITY!! I enjoy coming to work and being greeted by friendly faces every morning. I have had memberships at some of the bigger “Box Gyms” and they are very clinical feeling. I would no more want to work in that type of setting than to go back to working in a cubicle.

How do you keep energized working such an active job each day?

There are honestly days that I wake up and wonder how I will make it through one more hour of group exercise for the week, or stay motivated for my clients, but I know for a fact that one or more people I am training that day, be it in a fitness class or a one on one training, forced themselves out of the house and made it in. Their determination is what keeps me going and gives me the energy to do what I do!

What do you do for fun?

I enjoy hiking, backpacking, camping. As I stated earlier, I also enjoy road races and look forward to continue running Hood to Coast with my daughter Kaytie.

Do you have any personal fitness goals you’re working towards?

Yes, over the last few years my running has taken a back seat to school and work and I am looking forward to getting back to my training and completing my 4th marathon and possibly qualifying for the Boston Marathon!!

What’s your advice for someone who is wanting to get in shape but doesn’t know where to start?

Let me start by saying you must be willing to put the work in in order to see the results. This won’t happen overnight so stay the course and see it through once you begin.

Okay, if you’re still here, the next step is to set a small obtainable goal that will motivate you to take action, and promise to reward yourself when you reach it. Now that you have set the goal, research the trainers at SWCC, find one you would feel comfortable working with, don’t make excuses, don’t think about it, just show up and let us do what we love…helping you succeed!!
