SUMMARY:Small Town Historic Surveying: A Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Home in Image Referred to as the Camm House – 700 D Street\nTuesday\, May 6 – 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm (first part of the HCPC meeting)\nPetaluma City Hall\, 11 English Street\n(or https://cityofpetaluma.org/meetings/)\nPreservation Architect Jerri Holan discusses why surveys of potential resources or buildings are the primary planning tool for identifying\, recording\, and evaluating historic properties. After describing the scope of these surveys\, she points out that funding for historical surveys is often lacking in small towns. She provides an example of a small town that used community volunteers to complete a windshield survey\, followed by a formal historical evaluation by a consultant. The surveying took a while but was a cost-effective solution for identifying resources within this small community. \n

SUMMARY:Annual Jazz Concert Celebrating Black History Month - The doRiaN Mode
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT!\nFriday\, February 3\, 2023\n7:00-9:00 PM\n$35 Downstairs Seating\, $40 Limited Balcony Seating\nLast year’s concert sold-out\, so reserve early!\nDoors open at 6:30 p.m. Concert starts at 7:00 p.m.\nThe concert features local vintage jazz & blues group\, The doRiaN Mode\, with Bob Johns on piano/trumpet\, David Scott on sax/flute\, Tony Blake on drums and Dorian Bartley on\nbass/vocals. This event is part of our Black History Month activities. \n\nImage courtesy of Mark Adams Photography\nIf you would like to keep in touch with The doRiaN Mode band and hear about their public shows visit their sign-up page:\nAnd follow them on Instagram: @thedorianmodecombo\nDORIAN BARTLEY (bass/vocals) formed The doRiaN Mode in 2013 to explore the roots of jazz. Born in Detroit to an African American father and white mother\, Dorian grew up in a family that valued music as an expression of art\, identity and politics. She loves jazz and its balance between creative freedom and structure\, the fun of swing and phrasing. She also works in other musical styles: country-roots with Foxes in the Henhouse\, classical with Gravenstein Mandolin Ensemble and eclectic freelance groups around the Bay Area. Dorian studied at the University of Michigan and UC Berkeley and taught music in Petaluma’s public schools. \nBOB JOHNS (piano/trumpet) Bob’s early piano lessons grew into a desire to improvise like his father who played jazz trumpet in big bands and small groups. When he arrived in San Francisco after serving in the Navy\, Bob found like-minded players who formed the fusion group Nexus\, playing in San Francisco and the East Bay through the 80s. He played keyboard and trombone for a time in the African group\, Hedzoleh Soundz. Bob plays each Tuesday night with his jazz buddies at the Comstock Saloon in San Francisco’s North Beach. He hosts an Open Mic once a month in Petaluma at the United Methodist Church. \nDAVID SCOTT (sax/flute/vocals) left his hit rock & roll band in Australia and boarded a ship at age 18 to head for New Caledonia as a jazz musician. He settled for 10 years in Tahiti\, playing jazz\, rock and island music as well as learning French. David came to Sonoma County in 1989 and joined Gator Beat (now known as Gator Nation) playing Cajun & Zydeco music. He developed a unique style of interwoven horn and accordion and has mastered the technique of circular breathing (continuous tone without interruption) on his saxophone. David is a founder of Collaboration Jazz Band which performs locally. \nTONY BLAKE (drums) was born and raised in San Francisco. Eclectic in his percussive expression\, Tony is comfortable in symphony orchestras\, small jazz ensembles\, folk\, rock or world music groups. He has developed a playing style that draws on many traditions. Finding the common pulse to support the music inspires him\, no matter what the setting. Tony lives in Petaluma and works as an Environmental Scientist. He spends much of his free time traveling the San Francisco Bay Area making music. \n\nImage courtesy of Mark Adams Photography\nSponsored by Petaluma Museum Association – 20 4th Street\, Petaluma CA 94952 and\nPetaluma Blacks for Community Development – PO Box 2045\, Petaluma CA  94953-2045

SUMMARY:Remembering Lucy Deam Kortum
DESCRIPTION:Lucy Kortum’s Contributions Acknowledged in the Congressional Record\n(All Videos Courtesy of Kaye Chandler)\n\n \nMore Videos Featuring Lucy:\nInterview with Lucy:\nhttps://vimeo.com/294950226\nCarnegie Museum Grand opening  ceremony honoring Lucy Kortum  October 6\, 2018\nhttps://vimeo.com/294949041\nObituary\nLucy Kortum\nAugust 8\, 1928 – November 30\, 2022 \nLucy Kortum\, a historian who championed the importance of local and statewide architectural preservation\, died on November 30\, 2022\, at her home in Petaluma. She was born on August 8\, 1928\, in Coronado\, California\, where her father was stationed as a Naval aviator. She had vivid memories from the years before and during World War II\, when her mother\, driving alone\, took her and her brother on numerous cross-country journeys between naval bases to catch up with her father’s frequent redeployments. \nShe attended Pomona College after the war and then moved to San Francisco with some of her college classmates. After working in San Francisco for a few years\, she married Bill Kortum in 1953. In the ensuing years Bill and Lucy became effective advocates for environmental protection on issues such as the battle to save Bodega Head from a nuclear power plant in the early 1960s and the prolonged effort (beginning in the late 1960s) to preserve access to the California coastline and to save it from overdevelopment. Beyond her activity as an environmentalist\, she was independently known for her work in architectural preservation\, both locally and throughout California. In 1990 she completed a thesis for a master’s degree in history at Sonoma State University. Entitled “Carnegie Library Development in California and the Architecture it Produced\, 1899-1921\,” the thesis resulted in the addition of ten California Carnegie libraries to the National Register of Historic Places\, and still sets the standard by which libraries achieve such designation. Her efforts also resulted in the addition to the National Register of the Petaluma Silk Mill (built in 1892 near the Lakeville Highway and what is now Sunset Park)\, saving this significant structure from demolition and leading most recently to its repurposed preservation as a hotel which has been in operation since 2018. \nLucy and Bill found the life of activism that they shared to be invigorating and stimulating. For example\, when the California Coastal Trail Association recognized Lucy in 2018 as one of the women responsible for protecting the California coastline\, she said that the work “was not only inspiring and important\, but it was fun.” Indeed\, her sense of fun (along with her optimism and enthusiasm) was a primary reason that so many friends looked forward to visiting Lucy and Bill at the home they built in rural Petaluma\, eager to discuss anything from travel\, food\, books and winemaking to state and local politics and environmental issues. Late in life\, the topic could even turn to her beloved Golden State Warriors. Her interests also extended to what was happening in the lives of her family and friends\, who fondly recall profound one-on-one conversations-free of any political or environmental agenda-where her active engagement and meaningful questions often helped them to better understand themselves. Those who knew her appreciated her kindness\, her recognition of the importance of fairness\, and her ability to put disputes and irritations into perspective. \nShe also maintained a close connection with Sonoma State University. In addition to earning a master’s degree there she was one of the first employees of the SSU Nursing Department and worked there for several years as the program grew in stature. In addition\, the Sonoma County Historical Society recognized her achievements in the field of historic preservation and research by awarding her the Jeanne Thurlow Miller Individual Award in 2005. The next year\, she was named Petaluma’s “Good Egg\,” an acknowledgment of her volunteer work for the Petaluma Historical Library and Museum. Until recently\, she served as a board member of the Petaluma Historical Society and Friends of the Petaluma Library. Her fellow historians informally recognized her accomplishments by occasionally referring to Bill Kortum as “Lucy Kortum’s husband.” \nBill died in 2014. Lucy is survived by her children (Frank (Ellin Kavanagh) of Glendale\, California\, Julie Groves (Barry) of Los Gatos\, California\, and Sam (Hyun Ja Shin) of New Haven\, Connecticut)\, and five grandchildren.\nA memorial service is planned for a later date. In the meantime\, the family suggests that contributions be made to Sonoma County Conservation Action and/or Coastwalk California. \nPublished by Press Democrat from Dec. 4 to Dec. 9\, 2022.

SUMMARY:Museum April Update
DESCRIPTION:A Message From Petaluma Museum Association President Clint Gilbert\nApril 20\, 2020 \nDear Members\, \nCatastrophe has been in the media lately in conjunction with the coronavirus. Listening to Krista Tippett recently I was reminded of its meaning; in ancient Greek catastrophe meant the overturning or the uncovering. Certainly\, this virus is uncovering many things. Around the world it’s uncovering kindness and generosity\, here it’s uncovering things that I forgot I knew how to do; like cleaning the windows and cooking and being quiet and staying home. It’s uncovered backyard bird songs in the morning and evening. And It’s uncovering our physical frailty\, and all the holes and gaps as well as our deep and strong connections in the web of our relationships to each other. History indicates that transitions are the hardest\, most stressful experiences in life and right now there is a way that we are all\, on a global scale\, transitioning to a new way. I find that reading poetry and history can be comforting at times like these and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) has an interesting collection of personal stories on their website from past pandemics at https://www.cdc.gov/publications/panflu/index.html. For a look at our response to pandemics closer to home (from John Sheehy’s blog ‘petalumahistorian.com‘)\, please see: https://petalumahistorian.com/petalumas-1918-20-pandemic-battle/ \nWith history in mind I have included a notice at the end of my letter for all of us to participate in documenting your experiences during this uncovering for future generations. \n  \n\n\n\nStatus\nThe PHL&M remains shutdown until The City determines it is safe to re-open. In the meantime\, Museum staff are planning how to safely and effectively open our permanent collections and research library to the public when we are allowed to do so. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoard Elections\nAs part of the shutdown we are postponing our board elections as our printing services and mail delivery have been put on hold. Your board is discussing how best to reschedule elections as well and announce the results. \n\n\n \n\n\n\nExhibit Update\nMost of the exhibits that were scheduled for this year are now being planned for 2021. \nThe notable exception is our Suffrage Exhibit which we plan to open at the end of August and run through Election Day in November. \nPlease find the most current update on the Women’s Suffrage Movement Exhibit Web Page at PetalumaMuseum.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nVirtual Exhibit\nEven while the Museum remains closed did you know that you can experience our 40th Anniversary exhibit on line? \nThanks to Wayne Dunbar of AfterTec Advanced Imaging the exhibit was captured digitally and is available to experience at https://www.petalumamuseum.com \nJust scroll down the main page to find: A Story of Civic Pride and Progress. \n\n  \n\n\n\nMembership\nWe began as a membership organization with the mission “To preserve the unique history of Petaluma and to provide educational and cultural services to the Community”. Your membership is critical at this time as we find our way through this transition to a safer museum and a safer research library. \nWe hope to reopen by June but in the meantime it’s important that you renew your membership. Without access to our office we are not able to send our regular renewal reminders so please check your membership type and expiration date on your membership card. You can renew online by going to https://www.petalumamuseum.com/join/ and scrolling down to find your membership type. Please consider upgrading your membership level if you can afford to do so. \nYour new membership cards and receipts will be printed and mailed once the City lifts the seal on the building and we are allowed to return. \n\n  \n \n\n\nGiving\nWe miss your participation here in the Museum. The annual Gala fundraiser was postponed at the last minute as were many talks and tours. These were vital ways to stay in touch as well as affording you the opportunity to support your museum financially. If after contributing to those on the front lines of the pandemic\, you can afford to contribute\, I promise you it is needed and will be well used as we all take the next step on this path towards a better museum\, a better city and a better world. \n\nTake good care and stay in touch\,\nClint Gilbert\nPresident\nPetaluma Museum Association\n\n  \n\n\nDOCUMENT THE PANDEMIC IN SONOMA COUNTY\, A PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION\nThe Sonoma County Library invites community members to document history through writing\, art and other creative expression during the COVID-19\, and to donate these items to the library. The materials\, representing firsthand experiences by local residents\, will become part of a special library collection of primary sources. Once the crisis is resolved and it is safe to bring items to the library\, residents will be invited to bring in journals\, photos\, drawings\, letters\, scrapbooks and other two-dimensional physical documents that tell the story of life in Sonoma County during this time. \nLibrary staff will catalog a selection of the items into a special collection that can be accessible to future generations of Sonoma County Library visitors. \n“Researchers and students will be able to use your work to understand what it was like living in Sonoma County during this challenging time\,” said Connie Williams\, History Room Librarian at the Petaluma Regional Library. “Your story can be a part of our community’s story.” \nAs a way to begin\, Williams suggests documenting – in writing or in images – your initial reactions to news about the virus and work/school closures\, and recording daily experiences\, such as what life is like in your neighborhood\, how you communicate with others and what has changed. \nThe library requests that items be no larger than 11” x 17” and can be stored flat. For more information\, contact publicservices@sonomalibrary.org. \n—\nSonoma County Library Director Ann Hammond said\, “This is a great way to help our community preserve memories of an important event.” \n—\nAdvice from John Murphey of Architectural History Services: \nAll historians (amateur\, academic\, public\, or otherwise) should be using this downtime to collect documents of this unbelievable\, historic event. Important are images of store closure or alternative service signs\, community communications and signage\, messages on Nextdoor and other social media\, emails from the government entities and businesses explaining their policies. I was disappointed to learn that Nextdoor – really the voice of the greater wired community – does not externally archive their posts. All those heart-wrenching messages from the 2017 Fire are lost to the public.
