Charlotte

CHARLOTTE - The city’s policedepartment got smaller and water andsewer rates climbed.

But in 2010 Charlotte also hostedits first International Generosity Summitand city officials took steps to reduceneighborhood blight. With less than aweek to go before welcoming 2011,

Charlotte Mayor Dee Smith and CityManager Gregg Guetschow recently satdown with the Charlotte Shopping Guideto discuss the challenges andaccomplishments of note. They alsolooked ahead to the new year.

Q :What were the biggestchallenges the city facedin 2010 and how werethey handled?

A :Guetschow and Smith agreedthat budgeting challenges led the

list. They cited cuts in state revenuesharing funds and a loss in the tax base.

According to Guetschow, 2010 wasreally the first year that the decrease innew housing was noticed in the budget.He estimates that the city lost $100,000 inproperty taxes this year. How did officialsdeal with that?

“We really looked very deeply at all theareas that we could make reductions,” saidGuetschow. That ended up meaning a lossof one city police officer, a cut that cameafter much debate.

“That was a tough issue,” addedGuetschow. “I made the case that thesafety of the public would not be affectedby the cuts.” Smith said he believesresidents understood the city’s position.“The overwhelming majority realized thebudget issues we had,” he said.

City officials also trimmed the budgetby making changes in employee healthbenefits.

Street needsAnother prominent challenge this year,

said Smith, was keeping up withinfrastructure needs, like road and parkinglot repairs.

“It’s something that we overlookedfor quite awhile,” he explained. He alsocredited Guetschow with making an effortto focus funds in that direction this year.

“I want to at least double the amountof money we invest in streets,” saidGuetschow, but he admits that it will haveto happen gradually.

Some of Charlotte’s streets needcomplete reconstruction, he added, butcity staff are focusing on where streetwork will result in the most longevity. He

added that in 2015 the city will payoff aprevious street bond, freeing up another$70,000 for new street work.

City officials have already committed toinvesting $70,000 this year in parking lotrepairs within the city’s downtown, whichis important to the economic vitality ofCharlotte, said Smith.

Utility ratesThis year city officials also dealt

with the increasing costs associated withproviding water and sewer services. Theyanswered by raising the rates - which havegone up 30 percent in the last two years.

Smith said this was an especiallydifficult decision for officials, who know

what the faltering economy has done toresidents’ household budgets.

“They handled it the way they shouldhave,” said Smith, of the City Council.“Council really struggled with, ‘How doyou raise rates during difficult times?’”

Guetschow said part of the problemwas that officials had been revisiting utilityrates only every four to five years. Underhis leadership, he added, it will be anannual review that will result in smallerincreases in rates, if needed.

Bright spots

Q :What were the mostnoteworthyaccomplishments withinthe city over the past year?

A :Both officials agreed that thecity’s first-ever International

Generosity Summit, which was hosted atthe end of September, was a point of pridefor the entire community.

During the three-day Summit leadersand students from several Africancountries visited Charlotte, stayed withlocal host families and participated inseveral discussions about generosity andphilanthropy. In addition, communitymembers worked together to donate50,000 pounds of food for those in need.

“It really was an important statementabout how we see our community, even indifficult times,” said Guetschow.

Smith gives a lot of credit to BryanMyrkle, the city’s Economic DevelopmentDirector, who took a lead role in planningthe Summit. “Had it not been for Bryan,we could have had more issues than wehad,” said Smith. Another summit is beingplanned for 2011 and Guetschow saidCharlotte has been paired with a sister-cityin Africa. He hopes city leaders will getthe chance to visit there in the next year,and that an exchange of ideas between the

two cities will be beneficial to everyoneinvolved.

Combating blightThis year the City Council updated

Charlotte’s dangerous building ordinance,clarifying the definition of a “dangerousbuilding” while at the same time puttinga process in place for demolishingproperties that need to be destroyed.

“When you let properties go it’s likea cancer that’s going to spread,” saidGuetschow. “Often times as a result,people let neighboring properties go aswell.”

The ordinance changes will allow thecity to acquire “dangerous buildings” andto demolish them and sell the property.

Engaging the publicSmaller accomplishments weren’t

overlooked by Guetschow and Smitheither.

Smith credited Guetschow with offeringa Citizen’s Academy this year - eightsessions that residents could attend thatoffered insight into how various aspects ofcity government operate.

Guetschow said the sessions alsoleft officials with several suggestionsfrom residents about how to improvecommunication with the public. As aresult, the city created a Charlottecommunity Facebook page.

With well over 14,000 “fans” the pagehas been an important communicationtool, said Guetschow, not just for thecity but for other community organizationshoping to publicize upcoming events.

“What that means is that people are onFacebook and they’re seeing things thatthe city is doing,” said Guetschow. “Withthe city’s Web page you have to come to us.Now we’re coming to you.”

Looking ahead

Q :What are some expectedchallenges facing the city in2011 and how will officialsdeal with them?

A :At the top of the list, saidGuetschow, will be fiscalchallenges. He expects further

cuts in revenue sharing from the state andadditional property tax declines.

Solutions could be difficult to find, hesaid. Possible staffing cuts are becomingharder to find. “We’re getting to the pointwhere if we cut anymore bodies we won’t

be able to get the work done,” saidGuetschow.

Cuts to several departments areunlikely, said Guetschow, because of this.And although Guetschow said he has notmade a decision about further suggestedcuts to the city’s police department, headmitted that it is an area he wouldconsider reducing further.

Q :What are your

goals for 2011?

A :Smith said continued streetwork and the revitalization oflocal neighborhoods will be

among his goals.Guetschow said 2011 will be about

continuing projects that are alreadyunderway, with a strong push foradditional economic development.

officials said.A Michigan State Police robot, commonly used for

bomb disposal, was sent inside at about 1 p.m.“The robot went in and found somebody that was

nonresponsive,” Sheriff Mike Raines said.“We sent our team in and confirmed that there was

somebody deceased in there.”The standoff began several hours after a reported do-

mestic incident.Deputies were called to the 4900 block of Bracey

Highway at 8:30 a.m. Monday on a report of an armedperson, officials said.

The caller reported that Forest, an ex-boyfriend, hadbroken into her house, armed with a rifle, and had leftthe house and set fire to a minivan in the driveway.

She reported hearing two gunshots outside but couldnot see where he went.

Steps to take for fitnesssuccess in the NewYear

With a new year fast approaching, many people will startmaking theirNewYear resolutions,withmany focused ongetting into better shape. While any type of resolution tobetter one’s health is aworthwhile effort, people often findtheir resolve to accomplish these fitness goals, short lived.

Here are some suggested steps to increase your chances offinding fitness success in 2011.

Step One: Get into better shape because you wantit.

Don’t set a fitness goal because someone else thinks youshould, do it because it’s something that you want foryourself.

Step Two: Determine your goals.

Do you want to reduce body fat, increase endurance,enhance strength, or improve balance? It may be one orall of these things. Yet, whatever it is, identify your goalsand what you want to accomplish before you get started.

Step Three: Believe that you can do it.

This is the most critical piece to success. If you trulybelieve that you can do something, then it can be done.

Step Four: Start working toward your goal(s).

Your goal(s) should guide everything you do.Cardiovascular exercise will help improve heart andlung function, improve endurance, and burn calories.Resistance exercise can help improve strength, balance,and increase metabolism. Proper nutrition will help keepyou energized and aid in reducing body fat.

If you have trouble getting started, talk to a personaltrainer. They can educate you on what techniques will bethe most effective and make sure that you know how toperform each exercise correctly.

Step Five: Don’t give up.

Everyone stumbles and there no doubt, can be someobstacle that gets in the way. Yet, when these thingshappen, it doesn’t mean that you’ve failed; it just meansthat you‘ve been delayed in getting to your destination. Ifyou never give up, then you will never fail.

EAST LANSING -- The Capital Area Pa-triots fell to 1-6 on the season after lettingwhat looked like their first CAAC win of theyear slip through their fingers in a 5-3 loss toOkemos at Suburban Ice on Dec. 20.

The Patriots, the high-school varsity teamcomprised of players from Charlotte, Lan-sing Catholic, Lansing Christian, Mason andPotterville, led 3-0 before allowing five un-answered goals. The contest was definedby penalties, with a total of 11 called onboth teams, and the Patriots drew first bloodlate in the first period by making full use ofa 14-second 5-on-3 advantage. Tory Browngave the Patriots a 1-0 lead after Mike Larsonkept an Okemos clearing attempt in at theblue line.

Larson took the slap shot, and Brownwas there to put in the rebound with 2:28 leftin the first period.

David Peck then doubled the lead with aslapper from the blue line 28 seconds later tomake the score 2-0. Brown got his second ofthe game five minutes into the second peri-od, when Larson took the puck directly froma face-off to the right of the Okemos goaland found Brown streaking in at the far post.The first-time finish gave the Patriots a 3-0lead, and what looked like a stranglehold onthe contest.

But Okemos got themselves right backinto the game in a hurry, with Chieftains MaxNyquist and Mark Spier each scoring in thespan of 55 seconds, the first on the powerplay, to cut the lead to 3-2 with 5:12 left in thesecond period.

Patriots head coach Patrick Daley saidthat this sequence marked the turning pointof the game. “Getting those two goals real

quick like that really killed our momentum,”Daley said. “It was hard to really push andget on with it after that.

Okemos tied the game on a somewhatfortunate goal with 7:56 left in the third,when a Chieftain player skated behind thePatriot goal and sent the puck out front.

It never got there, as it hit the back of Patsgoalie Kyle Peterson and fell stright downin front of the goal line, where Okemos’s Bri-an Kochheiser poked it in to make the gamea 3-3 tie. Okemos controlled the play fromthis point, and Peterson was called upon tomake several very good saves in the finalminutes. One of those saves, off of a scrumin front of the Patriot goal, went out to thepoint, where Derek Tubben slapped it first-time past a still-scrambling Peterson to giveOkemos a 4-3 lead with 3:34 left in the con-test. The Chieftains added an insurance goal26 seconds later, when the Patriots pushedforward for an equalizer, but were caught inthe Okemos zone, resulting in a 2-on-1 op-portunity. Ryan Restum held the puck, skat-ed right to the doorstep and beat a helplessPeterson over his shoulder on the short sideto make the final score 5-3.

“I thought we were playing pretty well,”Daley said. “We had a couple of penaltieshere and there that kind of got to us, and it’salways hard to play shorthanded, but giveOkemos credit, they took advantage of theirpower plays and put the puck in the net atthe end of the game.”

Peterson made 21 saves in the game, fromwhich Daley said that there were positivesto be taken away.

“We battled really hard the entire game,”he said. “Obviously getting three goals thatearly is huge, I thought our power playworked really well at times. We have a lot tobuild on.”

HappyHolidays!ByGeorge Carlin

remember this time of year...

We have bigger houses and smaller families,more conveniences but less time.

We have more education but less sense,more knowledge,

more medicines but lessWellness.We drink toomuch, smoke toomuch,spend too recklessly, laugh too little,

drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late,get up too tired, read too little,

watch TV toomuch, and pray too seldom.We have multiplied our possessions,

but reduced our values,We talk toomuch, love too seldom,

and hate too often.We’ve learned how tomake a living

but not a life.We have added years to life not life to years.We have been all theway to the moon and

back, but have trouble crossing thestreet tomeet a new neighbor.We conquered outer space

but not inner space.We have conquered the atom,

but not our prejudice

Always Remember: Life is notmeasured bythe number of breaths we take, but by the

moments that take our breath away.

The Chamber staffwould like towish youand your families a HappyHoliday!

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers participating in a two-dayGoodyeartire test atDaytona InternationalSpeedway say they’re satisfiedwith thetrack’s newly-repaved surface.Speeds during the test reached 197mphin the draft, and drivers said they expectmore Talladega-style racing onthe newly paved Daytona International Speedway. “They smoothed outall thebumps,” saidDaleEarnhardt Jr., the 2004Daytona 500 champion.“The track is real smooth. It’s got a lot of grip. The track reminds mea lot like Talladega was like when they first finished it.” It was the firsttime race cars have turned laps on the new asphalt at the 2.5- milespeedway. The repaving project at Daytona began on July 5, two daysafter the 400-mile Sprint Cup race here, and concluded last Friday.

It’s the second time the speedway has beenrepaved since it opened in 1959. The track wasresurfaced for the first time in 1978. This year’sDaytona 500wasmarred by two sizeable potholesthat emerged on the asphalt between turns oneand two just past the half-way point in the event.

Dec. 21, 1971 - Clyde Minter,who finished in the top five ineach of his first four Cup starts,died on this day at age 50. Minterwas 27 in 1949when he started thesixth and eighth races in NASCAR’sfirst Strictly Stock season andfinished fourth at both Martinsvilleand North Wilkesboro. He madeeight starts in 1950, finishing thirdat Charlotte and fifth at Martinsvilleto open the season. Minter startedhis 42nd and finalCup race in 1955.

“They totally enjoy the fun atmosphere, the people, theshort discussion and the online site with weekly topicsshared at each class.”

All participants will weigh in each week, and the threewith the highest percentage of weight loss at the end ofthe program will split the monies collected. It is based on
