Free Renovation Fair for Old House Lovers Renovating your old house? Want to restore the original windows? Maybe you would like to work with an architect to modernize while keeping the historic character of your home. Seem like a daunting task? Not any longer! Join other homeowners at Renovate Roanoke, a renovation fair organized by the Roanoke City Public Library and others. Enjoy a day of hands-on workshops, speakers, exhibitors and tours of historic Roanoke homes in different stages of renovation. Most of the houses in Raleigh Court were built in the 1920s, so many homeowners are seeking renovation advice. Renovate Roanoke will help them so that with choices, not necessarily huge amounts of money, they can have modern and comfortable homes without sacrificing their historic qualities. A Full Day of Workshops, Demonstrations, and Presentations Workshops will cover Appropriate Modern Materials, Sustainable Renovation (making your home energy efficient), Working with a Contractor/Architect, Architectural Styles of Roanoke, and Incentives for Renovation. Homeowners can dig up their home’s historic (or not so historic) past in the Researching Your House History session. Renovate Roanoke will introduce the Pattern Book, a guide to historic styles in Raleigh Court and other — article continued on p. 5 neighborhoods.

From the President
Life in 1907
By Chad Van Hyning
As you probably know by now, the Raleigh Court neighborhood is 100 years old this year. Now that’s old. But what was life like back then? What did people have to deal with in those days? It’s hard to imagine. I did a pretty basic internet search which revealed some interesting facts and figures. Here’s a sampling of what I unearthed.
• Pepsi-Cola sales increase to 104,000 gallons, up from 7,968 gallons in 1903, as Caleb Bradham establishes a network of 40 bottling plants. • Nearly 1.29 million immigrants enter the United States, a new record that will not be surpassed in this century (1.26 million immigrants granted legal residence in 2006). • The British Empire occupies 20 percent of the world’s land surface and has a population of 400 million.
• The April 1907 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine displays the cover price “One Dollar a Year”.
• A loaf of bread cost 5 cents. A gallon of milk cost 31 cents. A Hershey bar cost 5 cents. A stamp cost 2 cents. A car cost $500. A house cost $4,500. The average household income was $897 a year ($46,326 in 2005).
• Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory become Oklahoma, which is admitted as the 46th U.S. state.
• Unemployment was at 2.8 percent (4.5 percent in June, 2007).
• The automatic clothes washer and dryer are introduced.
• Only 8 percent of all dwellings were using electricity.
• Sears, Roebuck distributed more than 3 million copies of its fall catalog.
• Albert Einstein introduced the principle of E=mc2.
Chad Van Hyning
• U.S. motorcar production reaches 43,000, up from 25,000 in 1905 (16 million sold in U.S. in 2005).
• The average life expectancy in the United States was 45.6 years for men and 49.9 years for women (today: men – 75.2 years, women 81.0 years).
• Wireless telegraphy service begins October 18 between the United States and Ireland.
• Pneumonia and influenza were the leading causes of death in the United States.
• The North American Indian by Seattle photographer Edward S. Curtis is published in its first volume. Curtis was on the 1899 Harriman Alaska Expedition with George Bird Grinnell, who persuaded him that the Indian way of life would be gone within 20 years and must be captured in photographs.
• The population of the country was 87 million (2007 U.S. population estimate 302 million).
• Police arrest Australian long-distance swimmer Annette Kellerman, 22, for indecent exposure at Boston’s Revere Beach, where she has appeared in a skirtless one-piece bathing suit. Even infants will be required to wear complete bathing costumes on U.S. beaches for more than 25 years. • A pamphlet entitled “The Waste of Daylight” by London builder William Willett appears with arguments that setting clocks ahead by 80 minutes in the spring and back in the fall would provide more time for outdoor recreation in the warm-weather • A slim figure is still considered a mark of ill health, despite the Ziegfeld Follies ideal, and this belief will persist for another decade, with patent medicines that promise a remedy for underweight outnumbering those that promise weight loss, before overweight loses its reputation as a mark of robust well-being.
Obviously much has changed in the past 100 years. It was quite interesting to learn of these basic facts and figures from around the United States and the World. But what was life like in Roanoke? What were the early days of the Raleigh Court Community all about? For some insight into the fascinating history of our neighborhood, come out to the September Membership Meeting as the Civic League continues a yearlong celebration of its 100 year anniversary. Hope to see you there!

Run With Grace
Court Reporter Editors over the years
By Rick Lovegrove
The second annual Run With Grace 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk on June 9 brought together neighbors and friends to have a good time and to celebrate the life of Grace Lovegrove. More than 260 people ran or walked and many others came just to watch and enjoy. Two of Grace’s college cross country coaches and several of her teammates participated. Another cross country friend took photos and current and former PH runners helped out or ran. The run raised about $9,000 to support the Grace Lovegrove Scholarship, which goes to a Patrick Henry High School graduating senior each year, and the PH cross country and track teams. The event is supported by numerous area businesses and families, including a number from the Raleigh Court area.
We salute all the past editors who have selflessly given their time to make this newsletter happen five times a year. Thank you for your service!

The run also helps raise awareness of sudden cardiac death, the need for automatic external defibrillators (AED), and organ donation. Cardiac Science donated an AED and will donate another (in addition, the local Cardiac Science representative and his wife ran in the 5K). These will go to Patrick Henry and Woodrow Wilson Middle School. Representatives from the American Heart Association and LifeNet Health (organ donation) were also there. Grace Lovegrove was a lifelong resident of Raleigh Court who ran at Woodrow Wilson and Patrick Henry and attended Rosalind Hills Baptist Church. She died Jan. 12, 2005, after collapsing from cardiac arrest while running with her track team at Christopher Newport University. Every year, several thousand young people, many of them athletes, die from cardiac arrest.

Neighborhood Centennial Block Party Our neighborhood celebrated its 100th birthday on a sunny Sunday afternoon in May. The GRCCL joined with the Grandin Village Merchants Association and area businesses to sponsor the event. The City of Roanoke helped fund the free event with a Neighborhood Grant. Hundreds joined in the celebration, including Mayor Harris and City Manager Darlene Burcham. Fire Chief David Hoback manned the grills along with GRCCL volunteers. Betts Gillespie organized the many kids’ events, including the Moon Bounce and the hula hoop contest. Kelly Zappia was in charge of the tie dying, while Natalie Deck painted a long line of little faces. Jeff Rigdon and The Vikings of the Valley set up their longhouse to educate the crowd on Norsemen. Kids also had fun climbing on the Roanoke City fire trucks and eating ice cream from the K92 van. Many other Civic League volunteers worked for months to organize the event. They include: Chad Braby, Melissa Morgan, Karyn McAden, Mary Kay Brown, Allison Blanton, Brenda McDaniel, Carl Cress, Mary Kay Brown, Melissa Speed, Chad Van Hyning and Susan Koch.
The Greater Raleigh Court Health Care Center and the Patrick Henry High School Culinary Arts class made the centennial birthday cakes. The crowd ate almost 700 pieces.

Revival of a Vital Art:
Kusun makes a Home in Raleigh Court By Melissa Speed
At this year’s Centennial Celebration, in the midst of the moon bouncing, the cake sampling, and the hot dog and Boca Burger eating, and in between the familiar and smooth sounds of the Downing Brothers Band, there came a break in the entertainment and a moment for the introduction of something completely different. It started with an echo. A simple rhythm of the single voice of the tapping of a drum. After a few moments another drum joined in, and then another. Growing together, by one voice at a time, they fell into one another’s repetitious and basic beat, becoming a sound that was at the same time joyful and sober, celebratory and reverent. It was
a traditional song honoring family and the ancestors, a song brought by the members of the Kusun Ensemble from Ghana, West Africa to our Raleigh Court home. It is their home now too. Neighbors to Civic League Board Member Christopher McWhite, members of the ensemble grew intrigued as Chris told them about our organization and the 100th Anniversary event. They agreed to perform. After all, they are about tradition themselves. But like the greater Raleigh Court neighborhood, they are about tradition made new – rekindled and revitalized in the spirit of the ongoing circle of life. “We couldn’t play this music and perform these dances only in Ghana, we would go broke,” said Kusun manager Robert Ashong in an interview following the block party. Like American teens, Ghana teens are engrossed in modern things – hip hop, popular culture.
“Our dance and music is seen as old – what the older people do. But in truth we are taking from the old and making something completely new.” From Kusun’s website: The Kusun Ensemble is an extraordinary group of musicians and dancers based in Ghana, West Africa. Founded by Nii Tettey Tetteh, the group includes past members of The National Ballet and The Pan African Orchestra. Although rooted in traditional music, the ensemble has developed a new brand of music and dance they have dubbed “Nokoko.” They have created innovative rhythms and dances by fusing bass and lead guitar, electrifying jazz and African rhythms, and traditional Ghanaian instruments. In their quest to develop a new style of Ghanaian music, they have been dazzling audiences in Ghana and around the world. By blending the authentic sounds of traditional instruments with the exuberance of hilife music
page 7
and the complexity of African jazz, they are developing a unique Ghanaian sound and bringing the tropical passion of West African music and dance to the world stage. If you were at the Centennial Celebration for Kusun’s performance, you know that the descriptions above are not mere boasting. If anything, they are a humble and detailed description of what we were lucky to witness on that day – the performance of truly extraordinary physical and musical skill. In their ‘revival of a vital art,’ Kusun has created something better than old or new – a blending of both that neither could realize without the other. An example and a neighbor, Kusun brings a character to our Greater Raleigh Court Neighborhood home that we can celebrate and be proud of.

Thank You!
