Oakland, CA — Wednesday, November 10th, 2010 — It was a night of culmination for Oakland Digital Arts & Literacy Center (ODALC). After more than a year of striving to establish itself in a time of economic downturn, the local technology nonprofit succeeded in hosting its first annual Inspiration Awards, which celebrated the City of Oakland and honored three influential people for their significant contributions to the community: Andreas Weigend (world-renowned data expert), Joe Kennedy (CEO of Pandora Radio), and Donald Tamaki (known for successfully reopening the landmark Supreme Court cases of Fred Korematsu, Gordon Hirabayashi and Minoru Yasui).
Held in Oakland’s historic Preservation Park, the event sold out to approximately 130 guests: some came representing prominent tech companies (Cisco Systems, Pandora Radio, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Amazon.com); others came from reputed financial institutions (Cathay Pacific Bank, Morgan Stanley); others still came from Oakland’s rich assortment of local businesses and organizations (Uptown Body and Fender, Rosewood House, Gente Bella Salon Spa, OneCalifornia, It’s a Grind Coffee House).
ODALC made a point of thanking its key partners at the event, namely East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation and Oakland Unwrapped. Executive Director Shaun Tai also announced plans to work closely with the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs of Cisco Systems.
In addition to celebrating the Oakland community and all its assets, the event and its honorees looked to the city’s future, impressing the urgency of ODALC’s mission to make computer education more accessible to underserved communities.
“ODALC is teaching people to embrace, not fear technology,” said Norman Weekes, Strategic Advisor at ODALC. “To be a user of technology and not one of the used. To be a producer and not a consumer. To take your life experience and combine it with the infinite possibilities technology offers and to better yourself, your business and maybe even society.”
As ODALC celebrated a year of hard-earned accomplishment and looked ahead to 2011, so did Oakland’s recent Mayor-Elect Jean Quan. Within thirty minutes of announcing her victory at Oakland City Hall, Quan made her way to Preservation Park in support of ODALC and Inspiration Awards 2010.
“I'm particularly honored to be here because [ODALC] has had this vision of inspiring Oakland and looking at Oakland in new way,” said Quan. “[ODALC] is part of the new Oakland, the next generation. Let’s support them!”
When she takes office on January 3rd, 2011, Quan will be the first Asian American woman mayor of a major U.S. city. ODALC considers her an invaluable ally in the effort to promote greater prosperity for Oakland and the Bay Area. After a year of struggle and hardship, Oakland hopefully awaits a new era of leadership and social change. Inspiration Awards 2010 exceeded its original scope and served as a platform for that change.
For 2011, ODALC plans to recruit more board members and raise $80,000 to support its program “Digital Equity for Local Commerce,” which helps struggling small business owners in Oakland compete with the rest of the market via online advertising. If Wednesday night was any indication, the Oakland community has the passion and the drive to make ODALC’s vision a reality.

Address: 9035 Reesor Road
The Christian Reesor Homestead, is a Georgian-style house at 9035 Reesor Road that has undergone little change in the past 177 years. Isaac Westbrook received the original Crown grant to 200 acres of Lot 14, Concession 10, in 1801. Four years later, he sold the lot to Christian Reesor Sr. The Reesor family were originally from Berne, Switzerland, and later immigrated and settled in Philadelphia before moving to Markham Township. Christian Reesor Sr. was tragically killed by a falling tree in 1806 and the property was passed to his eldest son, Peter. In 1818, Peter transferred the property to his youngest brother Christian. Christian Reesor built the current stone house in 1840 and there are barns with a dam, sawmill, and carding mill also on the property. The structure features a medium pitch gable roof with a plain boxed cornice and returned eaves. In 1877, Christian Reesor left the property to his son Frederick Ernest Nelson and in 1905 Frederick sold the property. The homestead is important for its association with the rural farming community in the east part of Markham. The Homestead is a reminder of one of the earliest Mennonite families in Markham, and it became a designated heritage property in 2004 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 9001 Woodbine Avenue
The Jackson Willmott House was built approximately 1865 at 9001 Woodbine Avenue and is considered one the earliest houses still standing in the historic hamlet of Buttonville. Built in 1810 on property originally acquired by John Button, the famed founder of Buttonville, Jackson Willmott purchased this land in 1856 for 10 pounds. This one-and-a-half storey Georgian frame cottage has been altered in recent years, but it still retains its original characteristics and showcases the simple functional tastes of early European pioneers in Markham. During the 1950s this house was clad in insul-brick material made to look like real brick with insulation value until more recent owners undertook a restoration to revert it to its original appearance of horizontal clapboard. The Jackson Willmott House became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1999.

Address: 186 Steeles Avenue East, changed to 18 Rayneswood Crescent
The William Robinson House at 18 Rayneswood Crescent offers a well preserved example of traditional Georgian vernacular architecture. This building was constructed for William Robinson approximately 1855 on land granted to the Robinson family in 1810 at 186 Steeles Avenue East. William Robinson was appointed as the lieutenant of the first Regiment of the York Militia in 1818, but his main occupation was that of a farmer and tanner. The size and the workmanship of the house is an indication that Robinson was a successful member of the community of Thornhill. This two-storey house was built of contrasting coloured brick that imitates details usually completed in stone facades. This contrasting brick is common for brickwork in Upper Canada during the mid to late 19th century. Robinson's son, James Robinson, was also a tanner and was later appointed reeve of the township from 1868 to 1872. Due to changing city planning and boundary lines the street address of this house has changed from 186 Steeles Ave East to 18 Rayneswood Crescent, changing the orientation of the property from south to north-facing.

Address: 8303 Warden Avenue
The Sheridan-Paterson House located at 8303 Warden Avenue is a typical example of a mid-19th century Ontario Classic Farmhouse with Gothic Revival elements. This land was granted by the Crown to Anna Margaretha Pingle in 1804, which was then passed to John Henry Pingle in 1811. The west portion of this land was eventually sold to Francis Sheridan in 1826. Sheridan was a Reformer and supporter of William Lyon Mackenzie according to a document of 1834. He became a successful farmer who died in 1847. Following Sheridan's death, the property passed to his son Jeremiah Sheridan in 1853 when he reached 21. Francis Sheridan's will allocated space for the construction of an additional house for his widow, Elizabeth Sheridan, on this property which was most likely 8303 Warden Avenue. This one-and-a-half storey house was built in 1855 and features a Gothic Revival centre gable, generous doorcase, and large windows on the ground floor. Founding families of the Scarborough Township community of Agincourt, William Paterson and his wife Sarah Lockie Paterson purchased this property in 1865 following Jeremiah Sheridan's death. This house stands as a reminder of Markham's early agricultural roots and in 2004 the Sheridan-Paterson House became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.

DATA IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE DIGITAL AGE.
And publicly available data can now illuminate solutions to challenges like no other time in our history. There is no single entity that collects and manages more data than government. Unfortunately, many of the systems and processes that collect this data have not kept up with the demand and the potential for it.
The world-wide Open Data movement asks government entities of all sizes to make their data—a public asset—available to developers and entrepreneurs so its potential can be realized.
Go Code Colorado is taking a lead position in this movement.
The first and only statewide effort of its kind, Go Code Colorado brings together a community of entrepreneurs, business partners, and developers to make use of public data through a series of events. These events center around a challenge weekend in five cities across the state, engaging the entire state in two days of innovation around the use of public data. Teams in each of the five cities compete to build apps that use public data to help businesses make smarter decisions. Two teams from each city move on in the competition, getting help from a network of mentors—including a mentorship weekend in Boulder—as they further develop their ideas. The teams come back together again for a final event where they pitch their ideas to judges.
The three teams deemed the best are awarded a contract with the state—an invaluable first customer to a fledgling business that provides critical initial revenue.
Go Code Colorado is an initiative through the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, which seeks to return value to Colorado businesses from business registration fees they collect. In its inaugural year, this is the value Go Code Colorado returned to our state:
COMMUNITY BUILDING AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
Go Code Colorado increased civic engagement in the business, entrepreneurial, and tech communities.
Business leaders volunteered their time across the event series because they desire more access to government data—they know how important this is.
Dozens of business leaders volunteered a day with Go Code Colorado organizers to define the problems they face that public data can help solve.
179 people attended the Kickoff event.
130 people and 25 teams competed in the challenge weekend across Colorado (Boulder, Denver, Ft. Collins, Colorado Springs, and Durango).
The Mentor Weekend brought together 23 mentors to meet with ten teams.
The Final event attracted 223 people.
29 businesses supported open data and Go Code Colorado through $75,000 in cash donations and $120,000 worth of in-kind donations.
Companies like Google, Esri, SendGrid, Rally Software and Gnip (now Twitter)
TECH AND BUSINESS INNOVATION
Go Code Colorado is the most concerted effort in the state to increase the volume of public data in the state’s central repository.
33 new data sets were published as a result of last year’s efforts by agencies such as Revenue, Local Affairs, and Higher Education.
At least three businesses were created around three apps that use this data.
For instance, the winning team, Beagle Score created an app that helps provide a scorecard for business site-location decisions.
Beagle Score relies on many public data sets, including:
Business Registration dataset
City Taxes
County Taxes
Crime Statistics
NREL energy statistics
Traffic counts
Nearest Intersection
Energy rates and providers
Broadband service
and more
PROCUREMENT INNOVATION
Go Code Colorado is flipping traditional government procurement on its head, creating value to Colorado businesses and society.
According to the Standish Group, 94% of large federal IT projects over the past ten years were unsuccessful. Over 50% were delayed, over budget, or didn’t meet user expectations, and 41% failed completely.
Go Code Colorado challenges developers and entrepreneurs to solve business problems using public data by awarding companies who create working apps, not those with just a promise to do so.
GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY AND TRANSPARENCY
Go Code Colorado imagines a day when pulling a data report is a matter of a few pop up menu selections, and doesn’t require specialized knowledge, when data managers across government are able to focus on the work they do best and anyone can access the public data they collect and curate.
This is the promise of open data, and the step forward taking place with Go Code Colorado.

Address: 9900 Markham Road
The William Clarry House at 9900 Markham Road stands as an important reminder of some of Markham's earliest farming families. This house is also a good example of the rural landscape in north Markham. The property where this one-and-a-half storey Georgian cottage resides was originally part of a clergy reserve that was leased in 1805 to Henry Shank. Shank and his family lived on this lot until roughly 1836, as Shank is listed in Walton's Directory as living in Pickering Township in 1837. In 1845 Henry Clarry was granted the Shank property where his wife and two children lived. Henry Clarry had died in 1842, so the patent for this property was cancelled and reissued to his son, William Clarry, in 1870. The William Clarry house was built approximately 1855 and constructed of red brick that has more recently been covered with stucco. The Clarry House was so notable that it is illustrated on Tremaine's Map of 1860, the 1878 York County Atlas Map, and the 1909 Canadian Topographic Map. The Clarry family continued to live here until 1917. The William Clarry House became a designated heritage property in 2003 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 10077 Woodbine Avenue, changed to 43 Castleview Crescent
The William Wonch House at 43 Castleview Crescent is significant for its historical and contextual value to early Markham. Built in 1860, this one-and-a-half storey Gothic Revival bricked house was constructed for William Wonch at 100077 Woodbine Avenue. Wonch was the son of Mary and John George Wunsch Wonch, original Pennsylvanian-German Berczy settlers who arrived in Markham at the turn of the 19th century. Originally yellow brick that has since been painted white, this house sits on a fieldstone foundation with a front gable that is telling of its Gothic Revival style. While the address has changed this house has not moved-the property lines for this house changed so the front of the lot now faces east instead of west. The property this house still resides on was originally cleared and settled by John George and Mary Wunsch when they settled in Markham in 1794. The William Wonch House remains as one of the few historical connections still standing to the early community of Victoria Square in Markham and became a designated heritage property in 2001 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 7850 9th Line, moved to 26 David Gohn Circle
The Warren Bishop House is a one-and-a-half storey, three-bay faade, Georgian-influenced vernacular village cottage built at 7850 9th Line. It is believed that the house was built in approximately 1847 by the Bishop family with the help of Charles Patten who was a major contractor in the community of Sparta at that time. The house was built on land owned by Joseph Tomlinson and constructed for Edward McHenry, a cooper, who worked for the Tomlinson family. In the 1851 Census, Edward and his wife Susan are listed as living in the one storey home. After Edward passed away, Warren Bishop and his family occupied the house. Joseph Tomlinson also owned the lot next to where the Warren Bishop House sat. That lot had a sawmill, woolen mill and a shoddy mill, which attracted people to the area and established the community of Sparta. It was discovered that the Warren Bishop House sat on two lots and the Bishops moved the house so that it only sat on one lot. Warren Bishop was a clothier, who is believed to have moved here from Unionville and most likely had some connection with the shoddy mill that was nearby to produce his clothing. Warren Bishop eventually became successful in the clothing industry and worked in the field for more than 20 years. The Warren Bishop House resided comfortably on this property until it was relocated to Markham Heritage Estates subdivision at 26 David Gohn Circle in approximately 2000. In 1999, this house became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 4022 Major Mackenzie Drive East
The George Pingle Jr. House is located at 4022 Major Mackenzie Drive East in Markham as part of the Angus Glen Community Centre and Library. The house was built approximately 1842 by second-generation Berczy settler and farmer George Pringle Jr. Evidence suggests that this house was most likely originally a one storey Neo-Classical frame house. Pringle died in 1877 and the house was purchased by Jacob Stiver later that year. According to the 1881 Census, George Stiver, a farmer, lived at the house with his wife Elizabeth. When George died, their estate was sold in 1892 to his nephew Charles H. Stiver and Francis L. Stiver, son of Jacob Stiver. Charles was a successful businessman, taking over and operating the general store on Main Street now demolished from his second cousin Reuben Stiver. He also operated the grain elevations in Unionville and eventually at Stouffville, Aurora and Uxbridge. Charles eventually entered into politics and in the late 1890s was member of the Markham Township Reform Association. In 1899, he was appointed township clerk and treasurer of the Markham Township Council. It is the Stiver family who is responsible for the modifications that provide the house with its current look. Sometime approximately 1895, a cream-coloured brick veneer was added along with a change of the roofline to reflect a Gothic Revival style. This renovation from a Classic Revival style to a Gothic Revival style is consistent with renovations that occurred to other early Markham Township houses in the late 1890s. The house remained in the Stiver family ownership until 1986. Since the Stivers lived elsewhere in the community, the house was occupied by tenant farmers in the 20th century, one of whom was Robert Smith, a descendent of the Berczy Settlers and the father of Town Historian Lorne Smith. As a second generation Berczy settlement house, this building represents a visible link to Markham's origins. It became a designated heritage property in 2001 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 7273 14th Avenue
The Peter Reesor Homestead at 7273 14th Avenue offers important historical information about the Cedar Grove community. This two-storey stone Georgian house was built approximately 1831 by Peter Reesor Sr. Originally from Pennsylvania, Reesor built this home for his family and second wife, selecting the location based on the land's rich soil and water power due to its location by the Little Rouge River. With the house, Reesor built two mills along the river and a traditional Pennsylvania German barn, but the barn was destroyed in a fire in 1960. This house, covered in stucco for more than 100 years, is a prime landmark of Cedar Grove community. Minor renovations have been made to the house throughout its 185-plus year history, such as the addition of a half-storey wing on the side of the house which has since been removed and replaced with a frame-barn feature in the same location. The Peter Reesor Homestead is now part of the Bob Hunter Memorial Park and became a designated heritage property in 2004 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

The Raymer Cheese Factory at 233 Main Street Unionville serves as an important historic Unionville landmark in Markham. Built approximately 1859, this vertical groove clad house presents a good example of a Picturesque Ontario vernacular house. This building was owned by the Raymer family, and housed the Raymer Cheese Factory, operated between 1870 and 1874by John Noble Raymer and his brother Martin. The Raymers were prominent members of the Markham Mennonite community and their building was simple and modest in design reflective of their Mennonite beliefs. John Raymer died from smallpox in 1874 when he was 38, which ended the expansion of the Raymer Cheese business. This building is reflective of the period's rapid commercial development that took place in Unionville following 1870 and in 1990 the Raymer Cheese Factory became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 7933 14th Avenue
The James Dimma House at 7933 14th Avenue has great historical significance in Markham due to its original occupant, James Dimma Sr., and his involvement in the establishment of the Zion church. Dimma immigrated to Upper Canada in 1835 with his wife and two youngest sons. This one-and-a-half storey, Regency-style house was built in 1850 on a rectangular plan of five bays across by one deep, and along with Dimma's 200 acre property, came to be known as Willowdale Farm. Together with Robert Milroy, whose family lived to the south of the Dimmas, Dimma established the early congregation of the Zion church. Dimma was a church elder for many years within the Zion church before passing away in 1869. Dimma's son, James Dimma Jr., then continued to farm Willowdale for another 20 years. The James Dimma House is important due to its association with the historic community surrounding the village of Cedar Grove for both agricultural and religious purposes and became a designated heritage property in 2003 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 186 Steeles Avenue East, changed to 18 Rayneswood Crescent
The William Robinson House at 18 Rayneswood Crescent offers a well preserved example of traditional Georgian vernacular architecture. This building was constructed for William Robinson approximately 1855 on land granted to the Robinson family in 1810 at 186 Steeles Avenue East. William Robinson was appointed as the lieutenant of the first Regiment of the York Militia in 1818, but his main occupation was that of a farmer and tanner. The size and the workmanship of the house is an indication that Robinson was a successful member of the community of Thornhill. This two-storey house was built of contrasting coloured brick that imitates details usually completed in stone facades. This contrasting brick is common for brickwork in Upper Canada during the mid to late 19th century. Robinson's son, James Robinson, was also a tanner and was later appointed reeve of the township from 1868 to 1872. Due to changing city planning and boundary lines the street address of this house has changed from 186 Steeles Ave East to 18 Rayneswood Crescent, changing the orientation of the property from south to north-facing.

Address: 9615 9th Line, moved to 14 Alexander Hunter Place
The Peter G. Mustard House at 14 Alexander Hunter Place was constructed in approximately 1840. This house was built by Peter Mustard, son of James Mustard, a native of Scotland who arrived in Markham in 1801 and went on to play a role in the political, religious, educational and agricultural development of Markham. The house was passed to Peter's eldest son James after Peter's death in 1879. James and his wife Elizabeth and their four children lived here. This house is one of three early Mustard family homes still remaining in Markham. When James passed away in 1906, the family farm was sold to another family, and after having several owners over the years, the land was acquired by the Province of Ontario in the mid-1970s. Tenants were able to lease this house until the early 2000s. This house's simple symmetrical design reflects the Georgian architectural style with some Classic Revival influences, as seen in the mouldings that make up the cornice. The Peter G. Mustard House was moved in 2003 to Markham Heritage Estates to make way for the realignment of 9th Line and became a designated heritage property in 2005 under the Ontario Heritage Act.
