In brief: Myrna Park will be dedicated today

From local reports

The Myrna Park in Spokane Valley will be dedicated today at 10 a.m. in memory of Myrna Gothman.

Bill Gothmann, Myrna’s husband of 62 years and former Spokane Valley councilman, will unveil a plaque dedicating the park. Mayor Rod Higgins will also speak at the event.

The park is at 22310 E. Saltese Lake Road in Greenacres. Because of limited parking, RSVP by contacting Elisha Heath, executive assistant for the city of Spokane Valley, at eheath@spokanevalley.org or (509) 720-5108.

Myrna (Nestoss) Gothmann, who taught in Central Valley School District for more than 19 years, died in February.

Browne’s Addition workshops planned

The Spokane City-County Historic Preservation Office is planning to hold two workshops in support of its nomination of the Browne’s Addition Neighborhood to the Spokane Register of Historic Places.

A local register designation would help protect the historic nature of the neighborhood as well as provide financial incentives to property owners to maintain the historic aesthetics of their buildings, a news release said.

The workshops will be Oct. 18 at Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, 2316 W. First Ave., in the Gilkey Room, and Nov. 7 at All Saints Lutheran, 314 S. Spruce St. Both workshops will be from 6:30-8 p.m.
