CHARLOTTE — The as-sessed values of local res-idential properties wentdown this spring by an over-all six percent.

According to CharlotteAssessor Randy Jewell, thereduction is part of an ongo-ing downward trend in thecity’s property values.

Although the overallproperty value in Charlottefell six percent, individualproperty assessment dropsvaried between a 3.6 and 20percent drop.

“The majority of the prop-erties fell in the range of a3.6 percent to 8 percent re-duction,” said Jewell, whohas been assessor for thecity since 1987.

Approximately, 4,000 in-dividual properties are as-sessed each year within thecity, added Jewell.

Several factors affect the

assessed values of individu-al properties, including thesales of similar homes with-in the city.

#Contesting assessments“If the values are going

down it’s going to affect ev-eryone,” said Jewell.

But just how assessedhome values affect home-owners varies greatly.

This week residents whowish to contest their assess-ments can do so before theCharlotte Board of Review.

The five-member panel,comprised of local citizens,will hear residents’ appealsMonday, March 14 at 1:30p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.to 9 p.m. and March 15 from9 a.m. to noon and 1:30 p.m.to 4:30 p.m. at Charlotte CityHall.

Jewell said so far 72 ap-peals have been scheduledbefore the board.

CHARLOTTE — The city’s Down-town Development Authority has de-cided to begin marketing the nowvacant “Corral” building in hopes itwill be used for more than just park-ing.

The DDA purchased the building,located at at the corner of Washing-ton and Lovett streets, late last Octo-ber for just over $200,000. The fundswere loaned to the DDA by the city.

“We bought it intially knowingthere were possibilities,” explainedCharlotte’s Community DevelopmentDirector Bryan Myrkle.

One of the property’s most obvi-ous uses, he said, was quickily identi-fied — city parking. If the entire .61acres were used for that purpose itcould create an additional 115 park-ing spaces downtown.

However, Myrkle said the DDAboard has now decided to hold off onpaving the lot and demolishing theexisting building in hopes of market-ing a portion of the property for de-velopment.

Marketing the propertyMyrkle said DDA officials are tak-

ing a “patient” approach to findinga use for the property. Myrkle saidthey are willing to invest three to fiveyears time to explore options.

“We don’t want a building builtjust for the sake of building a build-ing,” he explained. “They (the DDAboard) believe in downtown Char-lotte and they think it’s worth it to tryand be patient and find the right fit.”

The property, which includes a10,044 square foot building, is cur-rently zoned for a commerical or ser-vice business use.

Built in 1930, it is often referredto as the “Corral” building becauseit was remodeled in the 1980s andgiven that western-themed name tofit with the Frontier Days Festival.

Over the years Myrkle said theproperty has been home to manybusinesses — including a chickenhatchery, roller rink, grocery storeand restaurants.

Now, Myrkle said the DDA aims toseek out a developer with plans forthe property that would benefit localbusiness traffic.

“I think you want to find a de-veloper who would build somethingwith a specific use in mind,” he said.

Ultimately, Myrkle said the DDAwould like to sell the southern por-tion of the property for development.The rest could be paved to create anestimated 75 new city parking spac-es.

Myrkle said this is the first time

the city’s DDA has purchased a prop-erty.

“This is the biggest project we’reever going to do,” he said.

And although selling a portion ofthe land would help the DDA recoupits investment in the property thatisn’t the primary reason for market-ing it.

“It’s not a primarily money mak-ing venture,” said Myrkle. “We’re go-ing to be looking for the highest andbest use.”

Myrkle said there are no plans inthe near future to demolish the cur-rent building on the property. It has,however, been opened up for publicparking while officials proceed withmarketing the property.

‘Corral’ to be marketedBy RACHEL [email protected]

In 2004, he joined DentalClinics North, a division ofthe Health Department ofNorthwest Michigan, servingas Dental Director.

In 2007, the dental op-eration separated from thehealth department and reor-ganized as a non-profit.

“We had 10 dental clinics,and wanted to spin it off, be-cause the dental project wasgetting bigger than the healthdepartment,” Veryser said.

EATON CO. — Childrenon Medicaid and other low-income people in EatonCounty have something tosmile about.

Eaton County govern-ment and a northern Michi-gan non-profit have teamedup to use business principlesto bring quality dental ser-vices to low income EatonCounty residents. And theyexpect to make money doingit, without taxpayers beingon the hook for the program’scost.

Last month Eaton Coun-ty’s new dental clinic, locat-ed at 623 Courthouse Drivein Charlotte, threw open itsdoors to the public to meetthe staff and walk throughthe new facility.

The clinic, built by thecounty but operated by Mich-igan Community Dental Clin-ics (MCDC), whose rentpayments to the county areexpected to cover the bondpayments which paid for con-struction, serves children onMedicaid (including HealthyKids Dental and MIChild) atno charge, adults on Medic-aid with a $3 co-pay and lowincome uninsured individu-als at reduced fees.

The Eaton County facilityis MCDC’s 18th clinic, withtwo more scheduled to openlater this year, said Dr. Thom-as Veryser, MCDC’s Chief Ex-ecutive Officer.

Veryser said MCDC’s busi-

ness model allows it to op-erate with no governmentsubsidy and pay competitivesalaries by standardizationand efficiencies through elec-tronic record keeping.

“If you look at 10 of theseclinics, they all look aboutthe same,” he said. “That issavings, plus we can get ahandle on quality.”

The clinic expects noshortage of patients.

“Many, many, many peo-ple in our community cannotafford to see a private den-tist,” said Colette Scrimger,Deputy Health Officer for theBarry-Eaton District HealthDepartment, which contractswith MCDC to operate theclinic.

Dr. Julie Monroy, directorof the Eaton County clinic,said the clinic is operatingat full capacity, with appoint-ments currently being madethrough April

Monroy, who graduatedfrom the University of De-troit Dental School in 2007,said she left another job tocome to this position be-cause: “I believe in this pro-gram.”

Anyone wishing to obtaindental services should callMCDC toll-free at (877)733-6232 to register.

For low-income unin-sured patients, a one-time$50 charge is assessed, whichcovers plan membership, oneoral exam with x-rays, a treat-ment plan and discountedprices, up to 40 percent, onservices.

Services offered at theclinic include oral exams,cleaning, fillings, tooth re-moval, teeth replacement,emergency treatment and flu-oride treatments.

MCDC operates on a“social entrepreneur model,”which uses business princi-ples to solve social prob-lems.

“As far as I know it’sunique,” said Veryser.

“We created a model thatallows for a public privatepartnership that allows a pri-vate organization to provideservices on behalf of a gov-ernment agency, and so weare operating dental clinicson behalf of public health de-partments.”

Veryser said MCDC is ableto cover its expenses by us-

ing a highly efficient businessmodel which relies on tech-nology.

“We operate the systemefficiently with a central ad-ministration (in Charlevoix)to do all the billing and allthe hiring and administer allthose functions, and if youdo that well you get someeconomies of scale,” he said.

Also, the MCDC relies en-tirely on electronic records.

“It makes for records thatyou can press a button andthey are available,” said Very-ser.

“You get a tremendoussavings in time spent in ac-cumulating records. There isprobably a 20 percent effi-ciency gained in that,” hesaid.

“Without modern tech-

nology, we wouldn’t be hav-ing this conversation. Wecouldn’t operate.”

Their business modeldoes not rely on volunteersor participants expected tomake financial sacrifices.

Professional reimburse-ment is based on rates paidby major insurers, and a new-ly minted DDS can earn inexcess of $100,000, accord-ing to a presentation given tothe county Ways and MeansCommittee by Veryser.

After practicing dentistryin Michigan’s thumb area formore than 20 years, Verysertaught dentistry at the Uni-versity of Michigan DentalSchool and served as Assis-tant Dean.

Then the ensemble sight reads two piec-es for an adjudicator and receives a rating.The two scores are averaged together fora final rating. A Division I is the highestrating that can be achieved at the DistrictFestival level.

Each ensemble is required to performthree selections: A march, a selection oftheir choice, and one selection off a re-quired list based on the ensemble’s classifi-cation.

In sight reading, each band is allowedseven minutes to discuss two pieces ofmusic they have never seen before. Theymay spend the time discussing, singing, orstudying the music, however, they are notallowed to play anything or mark in themusic.

Although it is the band’s first perfor-mance of the music, the judge will givea rating based on correct rhythms, notes,style, etc. A portion of the rating is alsobased on the how well the band used thepreparation time and the judge’s impres-sion of the student’s overall efforts.

CHARLOTTE - The EatonCounty Sheriff’s Office willwithdraw its one officer as-signed to a multi-unit agen-cy that targets drug crime inmid-Michigan.

Citing an “unprecedent-ed budget crisis in EatonCounty,” Eaton Sheriff Mike

Raines advised the othermembers of the Tri-CountyMetro Narcotics Squad thathis one officer will be re-called at the end of March.

“This came about be-cause the county is facing a$2 million shortfall for nextyear’s budget,” explainedUndersheriff Fred McPhail.“This has nothing to do withtheir performance or activi-

ty.”McPhail said the officer

now assigned to Tri-Countywould be shifted to fill a va-cancy in road patrol for Del-ta Township.

“(The narcotics squad)will still be available. Theywill respond,” McPhail said,though Eaton County mightwait longer than it wouldotherwise.

According to InghamCounty, the Tri-County Met-ro unit is the “oldest multi-ju-risdictional drug task forcein Michigan.” Remainingmembers of the unit are theMichigan State Police, In-gham County Sheriff’s Of-fice, Clinton County Sheriff’sOffice, Lansing Police De-partment and East LansingPolice Department.

WATERFORD — Charlotte’sgirls bowling team won theschool’s first team state title since1969 at the Division 2 state finalsat Century Lanes in Waterford onMarch 4.

Raychel Wolever and CiarraLandry had big games, helpingCharlotte overcome a 76-pin defi-cit in its 1,399-1,338 victory overWestland John Glenn in the Divi-

sion 2 state championship match .Wolever rolled a 256 abd Landry

a 247 in the title match.“I’m so proud of our girls that

I am just speechless,” said Char-lotte co-head coach Woody Smith.“We’re putting this area on themap.”

by 178 pins in the semifinal.Charlotte became the second

area bowling team to win a statetitle in the past two seasons. Holtwon the Division 1 state title lastyear.

Charlotte co-head coach DaveJackson said the key to the Ori-oles’ success is their extraordinaryteam chemistry.

“We were ahead of our com-petition the whole day,” Jacksonsaid. “I’ve been around bowlingfor a long time, and I don’t think

I’ve ever seen a team jell as well asthose girls.”

Three different Charlotte bowl-ers beat John Glenn’s top score of192, led by Wolever’s score of 256and Landry’s 247, as Brittni Noelk-er rolled a 199. Taylor Thocker’sscore of 186 and Allie Neal’s 161rounded out the championship ef-fort.

of 16. Landry bowled a 1,207 andNeal bowled a 1,204 as they fin-ished sixth and seventh respec-tively to also qualify for the roundof 16.

This spring marks a mile-stone of sorts for my family.

We will be participatingin Charlotte Public Schools’kindergarten orientation. Mydaughter Gracie, who turns5 this June, will start gradeschool in the fall.

It’s a big deal. If you’rea parent you know that. Ifyou’re not, I’m sure you canimagine why.

I am apprehensive be-cause my daughter is grow-ing up. My husband Tony isfull of questions.

But Gracie, she is simplyexcited. For the past year ofher little life she has beentalking about “her school”and about becoming “a biggirl.” If my daughter had herway she’d start classes ONher birthday. She is ready.

In truth, my daughter’s op-timism about school and herlove of learning is an exam-ple of a five year old’s perfec-tion.

They are untarnished bybad experiences with peersor struggles in the classroom.They want to learn and soak

up knowledge.Is there anything more

worth protecting than thehopeful kindergartener?

According to Charlotteschools Superintendent Nan-cy Hipskind, the district isfacing a $3.65 million deficitfor the upcoming schoolyear.

That number is due inpart, to Gov. Rick Snyder’sproposed per student cut of$470, along with projectedenrollment decreases and in-creased costs.

Is Snyder’s proposed cutto public schools the rightcall?

I’ll be honest, I voted forthe man. Now I am question-ing that vote. While I agreethat sacrifices have to bemade in Michigan I believepublic schools lead the list

of institutions that have beenmaking them for years.Enough is enough.

Charlotte schools has re-sponded responsibly. Justwithin the last five years of-ficials reworked their trans-portation maps to makebusing more efficent. Theyclosed an elementary schooland cut staff.

The school district alsoproposed, and successfullypassed, a bond issue that willfund the installation of a fu-el-efficent heating system atCharlotte High School andother district-wide improve-ments that were badly need-ed. The bond doesn’t raiseproperty taxes from the cur-rent rate — but will preservegeneral fund dollars neededto educate kids.

Snyder’s committment tothis drastic cut means yourchild will be affected.

Just exactly how is un-clear. Maybe the classes theyare in will get bigger. Theirfavorite teacher could facea layoff.

So what can parents in

Parents need to start fighting for our schoolsCharlotte do to influencethese impending state cuts?

Simple. Make a phone callor a few. Reach out to yourrepresentatives in the statelegislature and remind themof the importance of publiceducation.

Urge our leaders to look

elsewhere for cutbacks.I, for one, want my daugh-

ter’s optimistic outlook onher education to have a fight-ing chance of surviving.

If every parent makes theeffort to fight for public ed-ucation in Michigan — thestate legislators, and possi-

bly even our new govenorwill take a step back and lis-ten. It isn’t too late. Let’s fightfor our kids — and balancethe budget without sacrific-ing their future.

Ms. Gertrude Emeline Mulhollan, 95,died on Tuesday February 15, 2011. Ms.Mulhollan’s remains were cremated and in-terment will be at the Maple Hill Cemeteryin Charlotte, Michigan.

Ms. Gertrude Emeline Mulhollan wasborn in Grand Ledge, Michigan on February

1, 1916. She was the daughter and only child of FrederickMulhollan and Bessie Gertrude King Mulhollan. Her fatherwas of Irish-English descent, and owned and operated a farmin the community of Grand Ledge, Michigan. Her motherwas of English-German descent, a teacher in Grand Ledgeand active in the Democratic Political Party. Gertrude wasnamed after her mother and her Aunt Emeline Spencer Put-nam, who was married to John M. Putnam of Eaton Rapids,Michigan.

At age 16, Gertrude graduated from Grand Ledge HighSchool in 1932, in the midst of the Great Depression. Therewas no money to attend college. The struggle to continueher education began by taking a few business classes paidfor by a loan from her Uncle Frank H. Bust. Uncle Frank wasthe husband to her mother’s sister, Amy Belle Bust. Takingthese business classes enabled her to accept her first politi-cal job appointment as the Deputy Registrar for Eaton Coun-ty, Michigan. Miss Mulhollan earned her Bachelors degreein Liberal Arts from Albion College, Albion, Michigan. Dur-ing 1943, Gertrude took leave from her career to help her fa-ther care for her ailing mother. Her mother passed away at56 years of age on September 30, 1943. Returning to her ca-reer, Miss Mulhollan held the position of Registrar at Jack-son Junior College, Jackson, Michigan, for many years.

Miss Mulhollan began her association with the Universityof Michigan in 1949. She was granted her Masters degree inSociology in 1950 from University of Michigan. She servedas resident counselor of Mosher Hall during the 1949-50school year and was resident assistant at Mosher Hall duringthe next school year. During the years 1951-54, she served asa research assistant and teaching fellow, and was a doctoralcandidate in the Sociology Department at University ofMichigan.

In 1954, Miss Mulhollan was appointed to the position ofAssistant Dean of Women at University of Michigan. Sheenjoyed serving as Assistant Dean of Women. In 1963, sheaccepted the position as the Dean of Women at StanfordUniversity, Stanford, California. She enjoyed living in Cali-fornia, driving along the coastline to Big Sur and especiallyvisiting and dining in Chinatown in San Francisco. In 1966,Gertrude accepted a State Department appointment to theAmerican University, Bangkok, Thailand. She traveled ex-tensively in the Far East during her appointment. In 1972,Ms. Mulhollan retired from government service, and contin-ued her career in the Travel Agency business, headquarteredin the Chicago area.

In 1988, she retired from the Country Side Travel Agencyto the suburbs of Chicago, living in the communities of La

Chicago, livingGrange and Hillside, Illinois. In September 2006, she becamea resident of the Meadowbrook Manner Assisted Living fa-cility, Bolingbrook, Illinois.

Throughout her life, Gertrude relished cultivating friend-ships and socializing with her work associates. Dining outwas a favorite event. Gertrude’s dedicated friends MaryRay, Charlene Ward and Linda Burns were her trusted advo-cates and caregivers during her travel agency and retirementyears. Although a world-traveler, always in her heart she re-mained a "Michigan Girl".

Ms. Gertrude E. Mulhollan is survived by many relativesand friends located in Michigan, Illinois, Texas and Wyom-ing. Her parents are also interred at Maple Hill Cemetery.As desired, the family requests memorial gifts to be made tothe University of Michigan (www.giving.umich.edu).
