2010 Line-Up of Homes

Highlights October 2nd & 3rd TourAnd Spring 2011 Tour Follows Hot on the Heels of Our Final Fall Tour

As you read this Heritage Hill AnnualWeekend Tour of Homes update, our

October 2010 line-up is set or nearly

so and work is on-going in preparationfor the neighborhoods inal Fall Tour ofHomes. And though it will be the inal

Fall Tour, there will be no lack of great

homes for public viewing or for thingsto do before, after and in-between house

tours. During this 2nd year of Artprize,many more venues than last year will be

located within or very near the HeritageHill neighborhood borders. Our 2010

Annual Tours eight to nine homes will

be punctuated by various artists exhibitsadding a cross-cultural lavor to the

already great Tour of our neighborhood.

A detailed outline of this yearsofferings will appear in our Tour of

Homes edition of the Heritage Herald inSeptember. Also, in this years Tour map/

booklet, we will try to label each Artprizevenue in and near our district boundaries

so you can plan your tour around all

the sites artwork and homes - as youtraverse the neighborhood.

While it will be sad to see ourhistorical Fall event disappear - a

perennial favorite on the West MichiganFall schedule for so many years -

excitement is building among the Tourcommittee, and through portions of theHill and its households, in anticipation

of the Annual Tour of Homes new Springreincarnation. We dont have to tell

you - our friends and neighbors that

the opportunity to show off our streetsand homes in the Spring is the chance to

present to our visitors Heritage Hill at itsmost beautiful.

Though several smaller fundraisingevents occur throughout the year, the

Annual Heritage Hill Tour of Homes

remains the largest fundraiser for the

Heritage Hill Association. Between350 and 400 volunteers contribute tomaking the weekend a success with all

proceeds going right back into programs

for the Heritage Hill neighborhood.Some of these programs include block

club organizing, crime prevention,community and resource education, land-

use planning, and preservation of the

districts historic character. And while

its sometimes more complicated than

that, more often than not, the programsare simply focused on helping neighbors

maintain and/or improve their quality oflife in Heritage Hill.

Looking for 2011 TourHomes - How You Can Help

The Heritage Hill Association and

the many neighbors and friends whocomprise the Heritage Hill neighborhood

association hope you or someone you

know might be interested in openingyour home(s) for the annual Tour. The

search for a homeowners pride and joyor even an interesting work in progress

continues.

We are currently looking for a fewmore homes for the May 2011 Tour. This

will be the irst Heritage Hill AnnualWeekend Tour of Homes Spring Tour in

more than 35 years.When members of the Tour

Committee, or my wife and I, come visit

Mark Levandoski hiredVanDerKolk Paintingto perform architectural paint restoration inthe Heritage Hill District.

Mark, what would you like your Heritage Hill neighbors to

know about VanDerKolk Painting?

Tom seems to take a genuine interest in your property. He wants to do the

right thing for you and will discuss the pros and cons on different approaches.He takes the time to achieve consensus.

What impressed you most about VanDerKolk Paintings craftsmen?

They work as a team and respect what each is doing, knowing it all is part

of achieving a good job. I never noticed the haughty "pecking order" I

have seen with past work crews.

How was your budget addressed for your painting project by

VanDerKolk Painting?

Well, good work is not going to be inexpensive. I think with painting you really

do "get what you pay for." While VanDerKolk "talks the talk," they deliver

what you pay for. Let's face it, once a crew takes over your property, you are

pretty much at their mercy. As the days went on, I felt better and better that I

budgeted higher for my job because VanDerKolk delivered what I paid for.

Overall, how would you grade VanDerKolk Paintings quality,

value and customer service?

I was pleased with the detail work, meaning the prep work; anybody can

spread paint. The value of a good job takes some time to appreciate.

Tom communicates well; it is not a one way street. He calls you and stays

in touch during the job's progression. This is becoming rare and I knew I

made the right decision because the communication did not stop after the

contract was signed.

On April 22, 2010, The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will enforce a new law that all contractors must have

proper certification for dealing with lead on homes built prior to 1978. For example, pressure washing for paint removal willbe outlawed. VanDerKolk Painting's paint shaving system utilizes HEPA equipment to safely contain lead based paint.

This process provides 15 years of durability and has a 5 year warranty. VanDerKolk Painting has completed their certification

process. Our employees are trained in the safety practices and removal of lead-based paints. If you have questions about

a painting project that involves lead paint, contact VanDerKolk Painting.

Party Warning: Sorry if you are planning

big blowouts for all your friends thissummer and fall. Heritage Hill is a

neighborhood full of people who get upearly in the morning and like listening

to their own music. Lowkey gatherings

moved inside after dark are ine but weget complaints from neighbors when they

hear laughing, loud talking, loud music oranything else from houses nextdoor when

they are chilling out for the night. Sorry

if this seems unfriendly but it's better toind out ahead of time than have a cop

show up at your door or have the rentalowner get a call. Peace.

Tenant and Owner Rights and

Responsibilities Free booklets: The

Association also has free booklets onrights and responsibilities for rental

owners and tenants based on Michigan

State Law. These were provided byour state reps Roy Schmidt and Dave

Hildenbrand in Lansing. The booklets

are helpful when you have questionsabout what is right and what is wrong inrenting. Stop by and pick one up at our

ofice at 126 College SE, BEHIND WOOD

cops have your number! There werethree recent instances of bike theft in the

Hill. One survivor called the Heritage Hill

d P o t p o u r r i by Barb LesterAssociation to give us a great tip to passalong to all neighbors. Find your bikes

serial number and write it down. Take

a photo of your bike too. Her bike wasstolen out of her garage but even if the

police ind the bike she will never get it

back. Why not? The Police Departmentmust have documentation that the bikeis yours. The serial number is the proof.

So ind that number and write it down.

Or better yet, take the bike to the nearestFire Station and register it and they will

send the info to the GRPD to be on ileshould they ind a bike.

Stop Bike Theft: Owners have foundchains cut and locks broken after securing

on porches, next to the house, in yards,

and even inside garages. If you do nothave a garage that is not securely locked

keep your bike inside your apartment or

home. If you must keep it outside makesure to hide it as well as possible. Lay it

down, lock it up, and keep it out of sight of

prowlers.Home Burglary: Grand Rapids Police

report a 9 percent increase in burglaries

in the city for the irst six months of 2010but an overall decrease in crime from

2009. Most neighbors are old hands atkeeping doors and windows secured but

newcomers may not know they invite

intruders when leaving garage doorsunlocked or open, 2. windows wide open

when gone or asleep, 3. doors unlocked,

4. and valuables lying around the yard.

These offer an easy opportunity for athief. Thieves like windows that are not

locked even if they have to cut a screen toget in. If they have to grab a trash cart to

get up to the window they will. A locked

or pinned window is a deterrent.

We also have the occasional doorknob-shaker too. They dont want any trouble;

they open your unlocked door, slip in

unnoticed to take a purse, wallet, keys orlaptop off the counter while you are in the

basement, watching TV or working in thegarden.

Free Home/Apartment Security

Checks for all: Have our Crime

Prevention Organizer come check yourplace for vulnerable spots in building

security. There are a number of basichome security requirements in the City

Housing Code. Call me at the Heritage

Hill Association, 459-8950 to set up a freeappointment and see if your apartment or

home is up to code on home security.Please remember to share the road with

bikers and pedestrians, they leave a lot of

parking spaces for the rest of us.

ArtPrize Comes toFoster ParkFoster Park is an oficial ArtPrize venue.Sculpture Vic Lupu describes his work

and motivation:

This sculpture (Freedom) wasinspired by my memories of the

televised events showing Serbianprotestors starting their demonstration

in front of the Parliament building inBelgrade in 2000. Their intent wasto overthrow Slobodan Milosevic

and his government. Having grownup in Yugoslavia, I understood their

desperation, frustration and urge to

experience the freedom I came toenjoy upon immigrating to America.

Therefore, I dedicated this sculptureto those demonstrators for freedom.

I began it as they were entering theParliament building to tale over the

government and overthrow Milosevic.

It was completed this year to mark

the tenth anniversary of the protest.I was honored to work on this piecededicated to my former countrymen

who were risking their lives for

freedom. It is in their honor that I titledthis work Freedom.

(ArtPrize Bio)

Lupu visited with Heritage Hill

Association staff and we took he and hiswife Nancy to Foster Park to choose the

placement site. They are thrilled with

the venue and the neighborhood. We areequally happy to welcome the them and

all ArtPrize tourists to the State, Cherry,

and Madison business area.Other nearby venues include two at the

corner of College and Cherry, 14 artists

will show at 311 State Street (old

Gateway School) and 18 artists will

show at Peaches Bed and Breakfast at
