Artevation
by Alice Harrill
What happens when you mix art
and historic preservation Art +
Preservation = Artevation, an art
show depicting historic places
and properties in Charlotte.
Historic Charlotte presents
Artevation during the month of
May at Queens Art Gallery in
Plaza Midwood. The art show
is part of National Historic
Preservation Month.
Not-to-be-missed events include
the gallery opening on Friday,
May 9 at 7 and a special joint
meeting of Historic Charlotte’s
learning series and the Civic by
Design Forum on Tuesday, May
13 at 5:30. The exhibit may
be viewed any time during the
month at Queens Gallery.
This year’s Artevation is a
tribute to the life and works
of the late Warren Burgess,
influential city planner,
urban designer, and artist
who worked 21 years for
the Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Planning Commission and
then five years for the Town
of Davidson. Burgess worked
with neighborhoods to draw
plans for the future. He was a
man of kindness and generosity
who had the distinct honor
of being respected by both
neighborhood activists and
developers alike. He was
responsible for many of the
changes that Dilworth has seen
in the past twenty years. His
work on the revitalization of the
South Boulevard corridor has
just recently come to fruition.
Burgess could often be seen in
Dilworth making sketches of
historic buildings and streets.
Many of his drawings, including
many of our neighborhood, will
be on display at the art show.
Look for the thin man with a
hat and cane in many of the
pictures. That’s Warren Burgess.
At least eight other local
artists will display their works
of Charlotte architecture
and history at Artevation.
Their photography, fabric
art, paintings, woodcuts, and
illustrations will be featured
along with the architectural
drawings of Warren Burgess.
Many of the works will be
available for purchase with a
percentage of the proceeds
going to Historic Charlotte, Inc.
Local art on display includes
the whimsical folk art of Wendy
Arundel, the mixed-media folk
art of Paw Creek by Nellie
Ashford, photographs by Light
Factory founder Byron Baldwin,
David French’s oil paintings that
document historic changes in
Charlotte, commercial photos
of Charlotte by Diane Davis,
pencil and watercolor drawings
of historic landmarks by John
Howard, woodcuts of North
Davidson by Jim Sack, and
fabric quilts by Dilworth’s own
Deborah Langsam.

More on that
illusive Elizabeth…
by Dr. Dan L. Morrill
and Nancy B. Thomas
“The breezes of heaven blow
their freshest, the light of the
sun is at its brightest in this
favored neighborhood.”
–Charlotte Evening Chronicle,
April 16, 1910
Elizabeth is unique. It’s the
only old neighborhood in
Charlotte named for a woman.
She was Anne Elizabeth Watts,
whose husband, Gerard
Snowden Watts, had made a
lot of money in the tobacco
business in Durham. Her sonin-law,
Charles B. King, picked
Charlotte as the location for
a small Lutheran college for
women that opened in 1897.
Because Mr. Watts provided
most of the cash, President
King named it Elizabeth College
in honor of his mother-in-law.
J.A. Dempwolf, an architect
from York, Pa., designed the
buildings. The campus was on
the block where Presbyterian
Hospital now stands, but
in 1897, this was outside
Charlotte, because McDowell
St. formed the eastern edge
of the city. Elizabeth Avenue,
laid out in 1891, and widened
in October 1897, ran from
McDowell St., crossed Sugar
Creek and rose straight as an
arrow to the imposing entrance
gates to the campus.
Elizabeth College stayed in
Charlotte until 1915, when it
moved to Salem, Va. It is hard to
imagine how serene and bucolic
the campus was in those days.
Where ambulances now dash to
the emergency room entrance,
elegant Victorian damsels once
dabbled at tennis. Presbyterian
Hospital bought the block in
1917 and moved there from
W. Trade St. A hospital in a
neighborhood is a boulder
in a tea cup. Its impact is
enormous. The main building of
Elizabeth College, which served
Presbyterian Hospital for many
years, was demolished in 1980.
The Highland Park Land and
Improvement Co. contributed
$3600 to entice Elizabeth
College to Charlotte. The
reason was self-interest. The
company reasoned that the
college would increase the
value of a large tract of land
which the company owned
nearby. They were right. The
Elizabeth neighborhood, named
for the college, became one
of the most fashionable areas
in Charlotte. Such important
community leaders as William
Henry Belk, founder of the Belk
Department Stores, lived there.
Most of the earliest houses were
built on Elizabeth Avenue
and on the streets that crossed
it, like Travis Ave. and Torrence
St. The pace of development
quickened after December
1902, when the Charlotte
Consolidated Construction
Company completed a trolley
line that ran from McDowell St.
to Elizabeth College.
The Belk Mansion
Elizabeth became part
of Charlotte in 1907.
Independence Park, the first
public park in the city, opened
in the neighborhood at about
the same time. The streetcar
line was extended along
Hawthome Lane, then Kingston
Ave., to the park entrance at
Seventh St. The designer of
Independence Park was John
Nolen, who would fashion
Myers Park for the Stephens
Company several years later.
Elizabeth has changed
drastically since the turn
of the century. The most
important reasons have been
the growth and expansion of
the medical complex in the
neighborhood and the building
of Independence Blvd. in the
late 1940’s. In recent years,
however, Elizabeth has pulled
up her petticoat and has started
to come back.

Lighten up!
by Frances L. D’Amato, MA
Many of us take our work very
seriously, as we often need to
do. However, a little lightness
will make the day go faster and
may even help you accomplish
4 the people pages the people pages 5

more. Start your day with a
heartfelt smile and a joyful
hello to every person you meet.
Have a daily calendar on your
desk with words of wisdom that
will inspire you. Here’s one
from African Villages Calendar:
“Your smile is an open window
which tells people you are
inside the house”.
When making up your to do list
for the day be sure to set aside
15 minutes for a walk outside.
We are so fortunate to have
Independence Park right in our
neighborhood. Researchers tell
us we need only 15 minutes
of sunlight daily to fulfill our
Vitamin D requirement. So
when the sun is out, walk
outside and see how much
better you’ll feel.
Look at your inside
environment. Is it organized
Is your desk clear Take time
alone, with a friend, or with a
professional organizer, putting
your office in order. A good
practice is to spend the last
15 minutes of the day clearing
your desk and setting up for the
next day. Writing a to do list for
tomorrow will help start your
day off with a smile and leave
you feeling lighter as you end
your day.
Have only one picture of family
in your office, preferably not
on your desk. Put as much as
possible in your desk draws to
keep the desk surface clear. Do
have a plant to supply oxygen
near your window. If you don’t
have a window, let your plant
vacation in someone’s office
every weekend. Be sure to set a
day or two each week to water
the plant. Always have fresh
water available for you to sip.
At lunchtime, go somewhere
with a co-worker and enjoy
your lunch in a relaxed
atmosphere. You’ll find getting
away from your desk really

helps lighten the day. Bring
fruit to have during breaks so
you’ll be picked up naturally
and you’ll avoid resorting to
the vending machines.
For those long drawn-out
meetings, volunteer to write
the agenda. Somewhere on the
agenda sheet write a humorous
saying and watch people react
to it. Not only will the meeting
go faster, but all might enjoy
participating more.
If you have a long project with
many parts, reward yourself
after each section is completed.
Make the reward something
simple and immediate like a
10-minute meditation or a
second walk outside.
Look for ways to help coworkers
and see how much
easier the day goes. Come to
work with gratefulness and see
how much lighter you’ll feel.

Topics on Trees:
cankerworm update
by Kara Gooding
By the time this newsletter is
delivered to you, it will almost
be time for the cankerworms
to hatch. If you banded your
trees and your neighbors
banded their trees as well, your
efforts, combined with the city’s
spraying program will have
protected our gorgeous canopy
for more years to come.
What happens
in the spring
Usually the worms hatch in
late March when they eat their
way through the tree canopies
and then drop on silky threads
down into the ground. But with
the drought and the strange
weather patterns this winter,
it could be earlier or later
than March when they appear.
Whenever they do begin to
hatch, it is important to keep
the tree bands up until after
all the worms have dropped.
This is because several will get
caught in the bands as they
make their way to the ground.
The less worms that make it
into the ground, the fewer
moths you will need to trap the
next fall. Once the worms are
done dropping, it is important
remove the bands. Bands tend
to hold moisture up against the
tree bark and should NOT stay
up all year long.
The city spraying campaign
This year, the city has
committed to spending
$2.6 million dollars on
aerial spraying of Bacillus
thuringiensis, or Bt. The
targeted area for the aerial
spraying is about 73,000
acres and contains an
estimated 365,000 trees. Bt
is a naturally occurring, biorational
insecticide that is
safe for humans and pets. It
is commonly used by organic
farmers and bee keepers today.
Because Bt is effective for a
48-hour window, Charlotte
neighborhoods will be sprayed
only when the worms in those
areas are actively hatching.
Not all neighborhoods will be
sprayed at the same time.
Why spraying is so
important
Last year’s infestation was so
bad that 92% of Charlotte’s
traps exceeded what the USDA
and Forest Service considers
a “high” infestation rate. The
Forest Service defines a high
infestation as any trap that has
90 or more bugs in it. Several
traps in the Charlotte area
last year had +/- 3,000 bugs
ensnared in them and this year
looks to be tracking along the
same numbers. While banding
protects trees, spraying is the
most effective method for the
city to eradicate the infestation
permanently.
Questions or comments, please
email trees4elizabeth@gmail.
com. Thank you to everyone in
Elizabeth who banded trees.
Now, if we could just make it
rain…
Tough year takes toll
on city’s trees
by John Albert
Even if you read The Charlotte
Observer on January 13, the
article by David Perlmutt and
Bruce Henderson is worth our
repeating. The following are
extractions from that article.
“Last year was tough on trees
in the Charlotte region.
The continuing assault by
development was aggravated in
6 the people pages the people pages 7

2007 by an unusual onslaught
of natural forces - from bugs
to extreme heat to drought.
Come spring, some of your
favorite trees may not unfurl
their leaves. Homeowners and
taxpayers could face hefty bills
for tree removal. The continued
tree loss is also making
Charlotte hotter and dirtier.
And in a region that treasures
its canopy, the once-abundant
cover is thinning.
‘2007 was probably the worst
year to be a tree in Charlotte -
ever,’ said longtime Charlotte
tree man and certified arborist
Patrick George. ‘This time of
year, people are not looking up
and around the forest. But with
warmer temperatures and more
light, they’ll start to see the
damage. The stress on trees has
been relentless.’”
“It began last spring, when
an Easter freeze zapped
unfolding leaves. The first
hint of drought came in
April. About the same time,
thousands of Charlotte trees,
mostly oaks, were swarmed by
the worst infestation of leafeating
cankerworms local tree
experts say they’ve witnessed.
Since 1998, the infestation
has spread from 5,000 acres
to 73,000 in Charlotte - most
in older neighborhoods south
of Interstate 85. Beetles also
gnawed on stands of pines
throughout the region. Last
summer, stretches of heat
with temperatures above 100
degrees dried up the ground.
In July, an official drought was
declared - and it’s become the
state’s worst on record.
‘It’s like a sick, elderly person
getting pneumonia - it’s the
last straw,’ said city arborist
Don McSween, who oversees
160,000 trees in Charlotte’s
public rights-of-way. ‘If a
tree’s not healthy, it can’t
throw off diseases or pests like
cankerworms or pine beetles.’
The city, he said, normally
removes 300 trees a year
from its aging urban forest.
With the drought expected
to linger through summer,
McSween predicts the losses
to grow by 10 percent. And
a city program to replant
1,700 new trees has been
canceled for this year due
to restrictions on water use.
‘We don’t know we’ll have the
capability of watering, and if
you can’t water, the chances of
these trees living is very low,’
McSween said. “
“Even trees that leaf out and
look healthy may be in trouble.
‘Sometimes it takes a tree
a long time to die,’ said Joe
Cadieu, a veteran Charlotte
arborist. ‘If you have trees in
trouble and you add a drought
to that, they’re hit with a
double whammy.’ Last week,
Cadieu’s workers used a crane
to remove an 85-year-old red
oak, section by section, from
a yard on Kenmore Avenue
in Charlotte’s Elizabeth
neighborhood. ‘The drought’s
finally gotten it,’ said Gino
Godbout, who’s worked for
Cadieu for 19 years and
supervised the $3,000 job.
Godbout knew the tree was
gone the instant he saw it.
Buds were dried up. The bark
was covered with light gray
patches, a sign of disease. “
“Are your trees in trouble
Winter is a difficult time to
tell if your trees are stressed
or dying, but arborists
recommend
a thorough
inspection.
Look for
brittle limbs.
Scratch
the bark of
small limbs
or twigs.
If they’re
green inside,
the tree is
likely fine. If
they’re brown
and dry, it’s
probably
stressed,
dying or
dead. White
sawdust at
the tree base
or on the
trunk, up to
about eight
feet high
It’s a sign of
infestation.
“Insects don’t get in until they
find a tree in trouble,” said
arborist Patrick George. “If
they get in, it means the tree is
so weak it’s not producing the
defensive chemicals to keep
them out.” Withered buds are
a sign the tree is struggling.
Browning interior or bottom
limbs That signals a lack of
water or nutrients. “A tree will
drop its interior or bottom
limbs first in an effort to keep
its most productive ones
alive,” George said. “If limbs
at the top - that get the most
sunlight - start to brown, it’s
a sign the tree is giving up.”
Dying evergreens are easier to
spot, even in winter, because
of browning needles.”

Big E 8K road race
for the trees
by Michelle Dagenhart
Saturday, March 29, 2008
at 8 a.m. at the Hawthorne
Recreation Center
The Big E Elizabeth 8K
is here again! This is the
second oldest road race in
Charlotte turning 22 years
of age this March 29th
2008. This is the Elizabeth
Community Association’s
most important fundraiser
to benefit the beautification
of the neighborhood. This
race is graciously brought
to you by Grubb Properties,
Presbyterian Orthopaedic
and the other sponsors listed
below. In 2007 we netted over
$9,000 for the tree project in
our neighborhood with 350
registered participants. We can
also be proud of the beauty
of our neighborhood and the
hospitality of our residents as
runners from all over Charlotte
and beyond run through the
Elizabeth streets.
We are offering an 8K run and
a 3K fun run/walk for children.
Runners/walkers will meet at
the Hawthorne Recreation
Center prior to the race. The
run takes us through many
of the beautiful streets of our
neighborhood. The finish line
is at Independence Park where
we will have food and drinks,
awards, music.
You can help your
neighborhood by being
involved in this fundraiser by
running, walking, volunteering,
or even sitting on your porch
to cheer the runners on!
The prospects of an 8k race
may seem daunting, but it is
actually only about five miles.
If you have not been running,
you still have plenty of time
to start training and when the
date arrives, you can do it! This
is a casual race, so walking
is also perfectly acceptable
and encouraged. Go get some
running shoes and get started.
Register at www. elizabeth8k.
com. Registration is $20
prior to the race and $25 on
race day. You will get a race
package including a T-shirt
for the big day. Last minute
registration at Hawthorne
Recreation Center begins at
7:15 a.m. on race day. Please
contact Michelle Dagenhart
at 704-335-0280 or e-mail
mdagenhart@carolina.rr.com
for more details.
Or walk the 3K. Are you
not a runner If 5 miles of
running seems like too big of
an undertaking, what about
walking less than 2 miles You
can do that in no time and
get ready for swimsuit season
all while giving your support
to our neighborhood. Get
together with some friends and
register at elizabeth8k.com.
Same price, same benefits.
New this year is reduced
pricing for children under 12
in the 3K. Pre-registration
for children is only $15
(race day $20), includes a
youth T-shirt, and introduces
them to exercise in a fun and
philanthropic way. We want
to see some proud Elizabeth
families out walking for our
neighborhood on race day.
We need volunteers. We need
some early birds to help out
with the race. If you are able to
stand at a designated spot near
your house from 8 to 9:30
a.m., we need you to cheer our
runners on and make sure they
don’t lose their way. We also
need volunteers beginning at
6:30 a.m. to help get runners
registered, work water tables,
help out at the finish line
etc. We promise to have lots
of hot coffee. Please contact
Amanda Loftus, our volunteer
coordinator, at 704-608-9089
or at aemloftus@yahoo.com.
Pass the word. Let your
running friends know about
our race. Flyers can be found
at the Y, local sponsors, or
check out our dedicated
website at elizabeth8k.com.
In the image on the right
is a list of our sponsors to
date. We are accepting more
sponsors; please contact JT
Peterson at 704-340-2529
if your business would like to
participate. Be sure to thank
them for their support when
you visit their businesses.
