GROWTH IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY
Charlotte’s downtown storefronts filling up Rachel Greco
September 18, 2011
rgreco@lsj.com
CHARLOTTE — A year ago the east side of the 100 block of South Cochran Street was a cause for concern. “It looked really terrible,” admits Bryan Myrkle, Charlotte’s Community Development Director. “There were a lot of vacancies, and it was an issue I was concerned about.” Today that same section of downtown is defying economic odds — with an influx of over half a dozen new businesses setting up shop there. A bakery and ice cream parlor, a Michigan goods speciality shop, tea and vintage items store and a upscale women’s consignment shop are among the new businesses. Myrkle, who also serves as president of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, said the types of storefronts are almost more important than the number that have opened. Retail, he said, drives foot traffic. “More people are going to find a reason to shop Charlotte,” said Myrkle. “For years people have said, ‘We need to be more like Marshall. We need to be more like Hastings. But that takes time — and we’re getting there.”

the 100 block of South Cochran. The duel business occupies 2,000 square feet, offering a full-scale bakery where everything from the cupcakes to the breads are baked fresh daily from scratch on one side. On the other is an ice cream parlor with plentiful seating. Briggs said the business opened two months ago and is still getting off the ground.

doors opened, Briggs admits she had little left for advertising or marketing. But she said a loyalty to the community — that raised $10,000 for her a few years ago as she battled breast cancer — fueled her determination. “We built this by hand by ourselves,” she said, sitting at one of the tables in the parlor. “I don’t know why I kept going. Maybe it was just to prove that I could do it. I just thought, ‘Once it’s open, Charlotte’s going to love this place, and we’ll be fine.’” So far, the business is

Growth others in business locally. “We want to revive the downtown,” said Mandy. “Being a business owner was totally out of our realm but you’ve got support and help here. We’ve all got a common goal and the only way we’re going to reach it is together.” The result of that team work is being noticed, said Smith. “There are options and there are more choices,” she said. “It’s becoming a walkable downtown.”
Myrkle said business owners are right to be optimistic. He believes the “energy level” of Charlotte’s downtown is the best he’s ever seen it. “We’re never going to get back what is lost,” said Myrkle, of the bustling small downtowns that once existed, “but we’re going to have something different, a different kind of downtown to feel good about.” Anderson said building a healthy downtown sometimes takes entrepreneurs willing to take risks.

“There’s more business. It’s on its way,” she said, of Charlotte. “But people are afraid yet to invest — but it’s getting there.” Briggs said she remains confident that Charlotte’s downtown was the right place to take her risk. “I don’t think I would have done as well in Lansing as I did here because I didn’t know anyone there.” Myrkle said the entire community will benefit from the improving commerce downtown. “There are no drawbacks at all,” he said. “All of the impacts are positive.”

Summit organizers to regroup Rachel Greco rgreco@lsj.com
The second annual Generosity Summit won’t happen this fall. In its first year, the event brought students and delegates from several African countries to Charlotte last fall for a weekend of collaboration and giving back. But organizers say the cost of airfare for 20 African youth is halting plans for a second summit. “The major problem is getting the folks from Africa here,” explained Bryan Myrkle, the city’s community development director. Myrkle said the cost of plane travel has doubled from last fall — and African participants can no longer CHARLOTTE
—
afford to make the trip. Now organizers are regrouping, with plans to host a “community service” event in the spring of next year through which participants can benefit local causes. In the meantime, Myrkle said those involved will begin seeking a non-profit status for the Generosity Summit, with plans to then seek solid funding for future international exchanges. “This fell together so well last year,” explained Myrkle, who added that the organization committee includes about a dozen Charlotte High School students and several community leaders. “We had no idea of the hurdles we could face in the future.”
Forged connections Despite just one year of exchanges between Charlotte residents and those living abroad, long-lasting relationships have already been created. Just this past week the city’s Mayor Dee Smith hosted Dr. Albert Nassagare, the Chief Protocol Officer for the Republic of Burundi, who was visiting the U.S. in preparation for a visit from Burundi’s President Pierre Nkurunziza. Nkurunziza will be making stops in Grand Rapids and New York this week. But Nassagare spent two nights at Smith’s residence, because his family stayed with the mayor last year during the Generosity Summit. “He is an ambitious,
energetic and kind young man,” said Smith of Nassagare. For his part, Nassagare said international exchanges are valuable. He said people in Africa learn things in the U.S. — he also says those of us here can learn from the people of Burundi. Nassagare certainly tells an inspirational story worth sharing. In the last five years, under Nkurunziza’s leadership, more than 2,000 schools have been built — with volunteer help from local residents. Primary education, which previously was only offered to those whose parents could afford it, is now free.

Now 70 percent of all youngsters are educated in the African country. Nkurunziza has also made health care free for all pregnant women and children five years and younger. Nassagare said faith and a willingness to work together with citizens has yielded real results in Burundi. “The big problem is not money, it’s heart and vision,” he said, during his stay with Smith. “If you have a vision to help your community, if you have a heart to help your people, that is what you need.” Dr. Anthony Yeboah, who met with Nassagare

Show to benefit SIREN Taylor Mason has been breaking up crowds, the funny way, for over two decades. His comedy act is fast, zaney and largely improvised. He’ll bring along some puppet “friends,” like Paco the Pig and Romeo. And he’s taken them, and his show, to some pretty big places worldwide, like Carnegie Hall, the Sydney Opera House and Chicago’s Second City Comedy Theater. Mason’s one man show arrives Sunday, Sept. 25 at 3 p.m. at the Charlotte Performing Arts Center, 378 State St., Charlotte. Admission is by donation at the door, with all proceeds going to the SIREN/Eaton Shelter in Charlotte. (Reservations available by e-mailing sireneaton@sbcgobal.net or calling event coordinator Shelby Butler at (517) 899-1130. Indicate number CHARLOTTE —
of tickets requested.) SIREN/Eaton Shelter, now in its 17th year, provides services and safe housing to domestic violence survivors and homeless families. The shelter houses 90 to 100 people a day, many of whom are children. Mason’s approach to comedy seems to fit a good cause. He frequently performs family, faith-based and fundraiser events, mixed in with his regular shows for Disney Cruise Lines and comedy clubs nationally. His latest venture is hosting the new “Children Talk,” Saturday morning kid’s show, which debuted Sept. 3 on The Country Network (cable, satellite, locally on WLNS Channel 6.2). So how does a comedian named Mason, end up in...Charlotte? It started when SIREN
volunteer and Thrivent Financial representative Shelby Butler of Charlotte won her company’s 2011 Volunteer of the Year Award (one of four given nationally). As her prize, Thrivent agreed to donate $5,000 to a worthwhile cause of her choice in mid-Michigan. She chose SIREN/Eaton Shelter. With the performance and other expenses paid in advance, all donations paid at the door will go directly to SIREN-Eaton Shelter. “We are obviously thrilled and very gratified to be getting this kind of support,” said SIREN’s executive director, Jessica Edel. “There are so many children and families in our community who need help, so a boost for them is terrific, especially in times like these.” — From the SIREN/Eaton Shelter

Fall Home Improvement Is D-I-Y a recipe for saving money overall? Many homeowners or renters wrestle with the question of whether to tackle a project as a do-it-yourself venture to save some money or simply leave it to a professional. Each situation is unique, but there are certain factors that must be considered regardless of a homeowner’s particular situation. On the surface, a DIY task can seem a very good way to save some money. After all, a large percentage, sometimes as much as 50 percent, of the cost of hiring a contractor goes toward labor. For a DIY job with no such costs, the final financial tally can be substantially less. Although labor can be expensive, that cost is often justified. People who hire carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and the like are paying for the workers’ experience. They’re also paying with the expectation that the job will be done correctly. With jobs that require a building permit or must be done to specific code, the contractor often puts his reputation on the line and will be held
Installing a new deck may be a project best left to the professionals because of the skill level required. FILE PHOTO accountable if the work doesn’t meet requirements. That isn’t to say an untrained individual can’t tackle a specific job around the house. There are some guidelines that may make such projects go more smoothly and, as a result, more affordable. • Read up and learn as much as you can about the particular
work to be done. It’s easier to make mistakes if you do not know where to start. • Talk to others who have also done the work. They may have some tips or advice that can save you time and money. You may also want to ask if they can help and show you the ropes. • Be sure to obtain all neces-
sary permits before starting any work. Don’t risk a fine for doing work without permits or having work inspected. • When applying for permits, find out if there is a list of codespecific requirements that you can follow -- a cheat-sheet of sorts. It may list rated materials required and any techniques. See if you can speak to an inspector who will be visiting your property later on to find out what he or she looks for specifically. • You must feel confident with the endeavor. If you are unsure about anything, you may risk injury or make a significant mistake and be forced to hire someone to clean up your mess. • Consider reputable sources for information. While it’s easy to go online and scour message boards for pointers on certain tasks, not all of the information is accurate. Trust only content from sources that are licensed or backed by certification in a certain area. These things being said, there are a number of DIY projects that
regular people can try. Starting off small and building up as skills are developed are good ways to begin. For example: • Tile a small kitchen backsplash before tackling an entire bathroom shower enclosure or floor. • Build an outdoor potting stand before attempting furniture or cabinetry work in a main room of the house. • Change out a ceiling fan or lighting fixture before re-running electrical lines through the home. • Succeed in repairing a leaky drain pipe before taking on a more advanced plumbing issue. • Use regular painting techniques first before experimenting with a trendy faux finish or plaster application. There are many different things individuals can do themselves that stretch beyond routine home maintenance. From manicures to pool upkeep, the potential to save money when budgets are tight can be a powerful motivator.
Ways to ready your home to withstand harsh winter weather insulation. Such joists won’t be visible in an adequately insulated attic. Put up the storm windows. It’s nice to open the windows in the spring and summer and let the warm air waft in through the screens. But when summer is over, it’s time to put up the storm windows once again. Storm windows add an extra layer of protection from the elements and are especially valuable in homes with single-pane glass windows. Homeowners who don’t have storm windows should consider upgrading their existing windows. Such a project isn’t cheap, but newer windows will almost certainly lead to lower heating costs, meaning the project will essentially pay for itself over time. Homeowners who can’t afford to replace all of their windows don’t have to replace them all at once. Instead, replace them a few at a time and make the
rooms where you spend the most time each winter the first on the list to receive new windows. Be diligent with the gutters. Leaves falling from trees is an idyllic image associated primarily with autumn. Unfortunately, when leaves fall they often fall into the gutters. Routinely clean the gutters once the leaves start to fall. Clean gutters will allow snow and rain to effectively drain through the gutters. If the gutters are clogged, snow might have nowhere to go when it begins to melt, and roof damage might result. Such damage is costly but preventable in most instances. One of the easier preventive measures to take is to routinely clean the gutters of leaves and other debris that accumulate during the fall. When cleaning the gutters, make sure they are properly aligned. Poorly aligned gutters can lead to a host of problems.
One such problem is flooding. If downspouts are not properly aligned with the rest of the gutters, then water might not be directed away from the home as it’s intended. Instead, water might be directed toward the home, resulting in flooding or additional water damage. Have the furnace cleaned. Experts recommend annual furnace cleanings. Before cold weather arrives, turn the furnace on to make sure it’s still working. An unpleasant odor should appear when first turning on the furnace, but it shouldn’t last very long. If the odor sticks around, turn the furnace off and call a professional. Once winter arrives, routinely replace the filters. This makes the furnace operate more efficiently and can also reduce the risk of fire.

their disposal to plug leaks, be it door sweeps that block air from entering under exterior doors to caulk applied around leaky windows. When using caulk outdoors, be sure to use a weatherresistant caulk or, if sealing brick, use masonry sealer. Add insulation upstairs. Homeowners who have an attic in their homes might want to consider adding some insulation up there. Experts recommend a minimum of 12 inches of insulation in the attic. That might prove costly, but a poorly insulated attic is akin to opening the front door and letting the heat out. It might be best for less-thanhandy homeowners to hire a professional to insulate the attic. But do-it-yourselfers might find it good to know that if the ceiling joists, which are often 11 inches or less, are visible, then the attic is in need of additional
FALL HOME IMPROVEMENT 2011
As autumn arrives, homeowners can take several steps to get their homes ready for whatever winter has to offer with the following tasks. Fix the leaks. A leaky home will prove an expensive home during the winter months. A home with many leaks will be much colder to inhabit, and homeowners typically turn up the heat to counter drafts that can make a home feel like a meat locker. But turning up the thermostat isn’t the answer. Instead, fix leaks in the fall before the cold weather arrives. Leaks should not be very hard to find. On the first breezy autumn afternoon, walk around the house in search of any drafty areas. These drafts will be noticeable and often occur around doors and window frames, electrical outlets and even recessed lighting. Homeowners have a host of options at
Things to consider when budgeting your home improvement Home improvement projects have become de rigueur for today’s homeowners. Be it a kitchen remodel or the ever popular man cave project, home improvement projects remain a goal for many. As enticing as a home improvement project might be, no project can be successful until a budget has been established. The right budget will keep homeowners from going deep into debt when improving their homes, ensuring that, upon the project’s completion, they can fully enjoy their revamped castles without the specter of significant debt hanging ominously over their heads. Before beginning a home improvement project, homeowners can take the following things into consideration.
Credit score: Before beginning a home improvement projects, homeowners should construct a budget to ensure the project is a success. FILE PHOTO
Many homeowners finance home improvement projects with loans from the bank. Particularly in the current economy when banks are being forced to tighten lending requirements, securing such loans isn’t easy. Homeowners with significant credit card debt should eliminate such debt before beginning a project. Doing so serves multiple purposes. First and foremost, eliminating outstanding debt will free up more money to allocate toward the project. Eliminating debt will also make loan applicants more attractive to prospective creditors, increasing their chances of securing a loan and a lower interest rate.
be able to go toward a project. Monthly expenses include everything from groceries to mortgage payments. When the comparison between monthly expenses and monthly income has been made, Project’s priority: homeowners can get a grasp Budgeting a home of just what they can and improvement project also cannot afford. involves being honest as
homeowners should examine their finances before starting a home improvement project. Just because a bank will loan out money for a project doesn’t mean the project is affordable. Homeowners should compare their monthly expenses with their Personal finances: incomes, and then deterIt sounds simple, but mine what’s left that might
to just how necessary the project is. For example, a man cave might be a dream project, but should it be a priority over other things around the house? If wear and tear is taking its toll on the roof, for instance, the money going toward the man cave should probably be allocated to replacing the roof instead. If a project is low on the priority list but high on the want list, re-examine those projects higher up on the priority list to determine if they are more deserving of immediate attention and funds than vanity projects.
Overrun costs: Not every home improvement project will come in at or under budget. Many go over budget due to a host of factors. Homeowners should not be caught off guard when a project goes over budget. Instead, plan for the project to go over and expect such frustration. Allocate extra money in the original budget for overrun costs. This will reduce stress and frustration, and if the project comes in under budget, then there’s extra money when the project is completed.

Fall lawn care, winter growth Warm-weather days will soon be a thing of the past and that means prepping the home and landscape for the arrival of winter weather. Even though it may be blanketed first by leaves and snow, lawns need treatment now to be sure they overwinter successfully. In fact, lawn experts say there is significant root growth that takes place during the winter -growth homeowners won’t necessarily see. People should continue to water their lawns throughout the autumn if there isn’t significant rain and to aerate it as well. Applying a fertilizer that is high in nitrogen can help foster strong root growth. Also, keep up on removing leaves that have fallen. Not only will they stifle the lawn, but they may cause excessive moisture and mold to grow while inhibiting sunlight from reaching the grass as well. Before winter arrives, take the time to sow some grass seeds into the bald patches.

At times homeowners are unsure about High capacity pleated filwhether they need to use primer or if just paint will do the trick. Although there are no firm rules, there are certain cases where one or the other will be adequate. Consider a room where the walls have been heavily stained, either by moisture infiltration, rust or another factor. Deep-set stains may bleed through regular paint, therefore a primer should be applied. There also are specialized primers that can be used in rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms that often contain a lot of moisture. These primers inhibit the growth of mold and mildew on painted surfaces. If a room is only to be painted white or tinted slightly with color, then a primer alone can be used. Rooms that are being painted that are already white and free of stains or other surface abnormalities may be painted sufficiently with just a coat of regular paint. If skipping primer, look for a high-quality, thick paint that boasts good coverage in one or two coats. There are new products today that offer primer and paint all in one combination. The jury is still out on the efficacy of these new items, but homeowners can experiment with these paints to see if they work for them.

Oriole gridders fall to Fenton Scott Yoshonis syoshonis@lsj.com
CHARLOTTE — Charlotte dropped to 1-2 on the football season with a wild 38-19 loss to undefeated Fenton in a non-league game on Sept. 9. Aubrey Parrish continued to put up gaudy receiving numbers in the contest, setting a school record with 196 yards, and scoring two touchdowns. He also tied a school record with 11 receptions in the game. Junior quarterback Ryan Bartolacci completed 16 of his 28 passes for 275 yards in the contest, which was much closer than the score would suggest. “We actually played pretty well on both sides of the ball,” Charlotte head coach Eddie Ostipow said. “I thought our kids fought hard, we were physical, and we did a lot of good things.” Once again, mistakes plagued the Orioles in the game, with two costly turnovers, including a fumble in their own end zone that gave Fenton their last touchdown, and eight penalties costing Charlotte
61 yards in the game. The Orioles out gained the Tigers in total offense, 387-373, but gave up some big plays on defense. Fenton scored touchdowns on pass plays of 47 and 33 yards, and gave up a 37-yard touchdown run in the game. Fenton took the lead early in the second quarter with a 29-yard field goal, but Charlotte responded with a big play of their own, with Bartolacci finding Parrish on a 58-yard bomb to give the Orioles a 6-3 lead. That would be the last Charlotte lead of the night, however. Fenton scored two TD’s, on a 1-yard run and a 47-yard pass, the last in the last minute of the half, to take a 17-6 advantage into the locker room at the break. Ostipow said that last TD was a killer. “That really hurt our momentum,” he said. The Orioles fell further behind in the third quarter, on a 37-yard TD run, but Bartolacci and Parrish hooked up again, this time from five yards out to make the score 24-13 going into

own end zone was recovered by Fenton, to make the final score 38-19. “We played well, and we made some mistakes,” Ostipow said. “But, they (Fenton) are a good team, an experienced team, and they capitalized on our mistakes. Defensively, other than a couple of plays, we held them in check.” The Orioles will face another good, experienced team this week, this time in the CAAC Gold, on Friday, Sept. 23 when they host preseason league title favorite Mason.

Gold, Silver Jewelry RARE COINS & SETS f or sale: One includes complete 1956-2011 US Mint Proof Coins. In the fall of 2010, this set had a Red Book retail of $1,094.50. In mid-September, 2011, the retail value of the set is now $1,964.90 with the surge in gold & silver. I would consider the best offer over $1,300.00. I have a 1909 "VDB" US Penny rated by PCGS as MS64RB, then an 1885 CC Morgan Silver Dollar in BU, the 2nd lowest mintage of ALL Morgan Silver Dollars (228,000) valued at approx. $1,300.00 +. The end of an era set with a ’63 Franklin 50 cent piece & a ’64 Kennedy 50 cent piece both rated by NGC in PR67. There’s an 1878 "7" tail feather Uncirculated Morgan Silver Dollar & finally a True American ARTIFACT Recovered from beneath the World Trade Center, at Ground Zero, from 9-112001. There was over $200 million in Gold & Silver coins locked in vaults beneath the WTC. This coin is 1 of few that survived in such great condition. Only the renowned PCGS Coin Firm was granted entry to verify the Authenticity & the Grade of each coin. The coin I have for sale is Rated a "2001" $1 Silver Eagle PCGS Gem Unc, 9-1101, WTC Ground Zero Recovery Artifact. It comes with 2 other priceless items. The 1st is a 2011 "W" (West Point Mint) $1 Silver Eagle PCGS graded PR70DCAM. A proof 70 deep cameo is the most perfect condition that any coin can be graded & the 2nd item is a coffee table book of the World wide events that have taken place since that fateful day 10 years ago. The 3 come together as a set, the Artifact from below Ground Zero, the Perfect Coin struck this very year, & the book highlighting events of 10 years. I have other coins & sets for sale, if you are seriously interested, you may call me on my cell phone at (517)-5250218. You will have to leave a message, but I will call you ASAP. Please leave your phone # twice, so I am sure to get it. I must insist we meet at Dart bank in either Mason or South Holt. The coins are normally stored there & it would be safer to conduct business there for all of us involved.
