     76th OREGON LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY--2011 Regular Session

                            Enrolled

                       House Resolution 1

Sponsored by Representative HUNT; Senator OLSEN

  Whereas the City of Gladstone, a community nestled on the north
bank of the Clackamas River where it joins the Willamette River,
will observe its centennial this year; and
  Whereas Gladstone was founded on January 10, 1911, by Harvey
Edward Cross, who laid out the city's first streets and built
homes and businesses; and
  Whereas Gladstone's rich historic roots are based on Native
American culture and still recognized today in the symbolic
Pow-Wow Tree, a big leaf maple that has stood for centuries
marking the spot where tribes met to make trading agreements,
settle community affairs and conduct wedding ceremonies; and
  Whereas the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Association has a deep
presence in Gladstone, having made the city in its early days a
center for social and cultural activities that are celebrated
annually during Gladstone's Chautauqua Festival; and
  Whereas quality schools have been and remain a high priority
for Gladstone parents and residents; and
  Whereas since its inception, the City of Gladstone has grown
and transformed from a once small community of settlers to a
bustling center with a population of approximately 12,000 people
and with outstanding schools, infrastructure and a strong local
business climate; and
  Whereas Gladstone has demonstrated statewide and national
leadership by creating the Gladstone Center for Children and
Families, bringing many different agencies and services together
in one location with the singular focus of effectively serving
Clackamas County children and their families; and
  Whereas the wealth of contributions made to Oregon by the City
of Gladstone and its residents in the city's 100 years of
existence are immense and appreciated; now, therefore,

Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of
  Oregon:

  That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the
Seventy-sixth Legislative Assembly, in commemorating the occasion
of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the city of
Gladstone, extend our gratitude and best wishes to those who live
in and serve Gladstone.
