Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Since August 2014, Jerusalem Baptist Church has been renovating.

During this time, worship services continued every Sunday. The entire Jerusalem Church family participated in the decision of starting and financing the project.

The project was headed by Pastor W. R. Washington, who was installed as the pastor in 2013.

Deacons Leo Smith, Carl Crayton and Franklin Beane, chairman of the deacon board, took the lead in the project. Other deacons include Mitch Mclin, and James Clark.

Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church was organized in 1874. The church was first located on Carter's Ferry Road, which was known as Hubbards' Hill.

Due to its designation as a historical place, no physical changes to the outside of the building could be made. It was sometimes challenging to make changes and add plumbing where no plumbing existed.

The faith and prayers of the membership, strong leadership of the pastor and deacons, excellent contractors, allowed all of the work to be completed. The improvements made included:

Handicapped restrooms for male and female added upstairs and downstairs

New upholstery installed on pews and chairs, and painting

New carpet installed

OAKLAND (KCBS) Hundreds of small business owners gathered in Oakland this week to try to win a piece of the Super Bowl 50 pie. Theyre hoping for a slice of the millions of dollars in contracts organizers of next years game in Santa Clara will hand out.

The SB 50 Host Committee held a workshop and expo for businesses owned by minorities, women, LGBT folks and disabled veterans.

Committee spokeswoman Stephanie Martin said the NFL is emphasizing them as it hires local contractors to help put on the big game at Levis Stadium in February 2016.

Its hundreds of contracts and millions of dollars of contracts to work on Super Bowl, she said. Everything from entertainers to bartenders to sign painters is up for grabs. Its a gig that Michael Williams of San Jose hopes to land for his two-person painting company.

Oh my god, it would make my world, make my business grow. It would make everything right, so thats what Im trying to do, he said.

Carmel Karrick, who owns Cal Safety in Fremont, hopes to snag a Super Bowl traffic control contract. She said that would be lovely, especially if they could get a couple of free tickets.

Business owners have until April to apply for the contracts that will be awarded in June.

Weeds in a gravel drive

Q Last year we renovated and extended our weedy gravel drive. Some of the area was lined with a membrane before a thick layer of coarse gravel was spread on it, while other parts (where there is less traffic, and where much of the original soil had been removed or churned up badly during some major building works), we didnt bother. Almost straight away, weeds (including thistles) started to appear, even on the areas with the membrane. What now?

Jacqui Harman, via email

A The areas that have simply been gravelled over the top of the disturbed soil will have naturally sprouted an enormous amount of weeds, seeds of which will have lain dormant in it for years. Creeping thistle and dock are extremely tenacious perennials, notorious for spreading around in disturbed, infertile soil.

The weeds that are showing up where you really didnt expect them in places where you laid the membrane are possibly growing through gaps where the membrane has become damaged by car traffic, or where it was not overlapped sufficiently. In any event, over time a layer of silty soil builds up on top of membrane, enabling determined weed seedlings to germinate and thrive, so you may always have a bit of a problem, despite your efforts.

When growth really kicks off next month, you can treat all the weeds in the gravel with one of the long-lasting weedkillers that contain glyphosate, to hit the current crop of visible weeds, both annual and perennial. Some of these products also contain chemicals that will inhibit the future germination of seeds for up to three months, although I suspect this is a bit optimistic where deeply gravelled drives are concerned. The products available to gardeners are Path and Drive Weedkiller (from Bayer Garden) or Pathclear (from Scotts), and both can be found in garden centres. These are strong chemicals and instructions should be followed carefully: They should not, for example, be used on sloping land (where there is a danger that the weedkillers will drain onto flower beds or grass), but once they are dry, children and pets need not be excluded from treated area.

Use weed killers on gravel carefully to prevent killing flowers and grass

Reassurance

Q Val Groves is worried about random little fungi that have appeared in her garden, presumably from a delivery of mulch that was spread about her borders during the course of a makeover. She asks if the fungi will harm her new plants, and if so, how she can rid her garden of them.

A Nearly all fungi that appear in gardens are harmless to plants, growing naturally from organic matter in the soil (or as in Vals case, from organic matter brought in from elsewhere). If they offend, they should just be brushed away or forked into the soil. Notable exceptions are honey fungus that travels via very distinctive underground rhizomorphs from dead hosts to live woody plants. They also throw up crops of orange toadstools from the roots of affected trees and shrubs. To hinder its spread, all dead woody plants and as much of their root as possible should be dug out and burnt. The other garden baddie that can spread from dead to living woody plants is coral spot rot (showing as crops of small orange pustules on the dead branches of, for example, acers and chaenomeles). Swift removal and disposal of affected branches will prevent airborne spores from hanging around.

ST. PAUL Two bills have been brought before the House and Senate in a bipartisan effort to restore Local Government Aid to 2003 levels, and another would have a portion of these funds going towards improving water treatment facilities in rural areas.

ST. PAUL Five DFL Senate leaders have introduced a package of bills addressing Greater Minnesotas economic needs by requesting major funding for public infrastructure, housing, broadband access, and career counseling.

With a renewed focus on Greater Minnesota already emerging as one of the themes of the 2015 legislative session, leaders of the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities (CGMC) and the Greater Minnesota Partnership (GMNP) held a press conference to discuss what needs to happen for the session to be considered a success for Greater Minnesota.

The City of Grand Rapids now has a lobbyist.

With the development of the internet, government information has become much easier for the public to access. This is a wonderful tool for people when they are doing research on their city, county, state, or federal government. However, it is important when attempting to compare one unit of government to another that the researcher fully understands the data.

The following Speak Out! messages appear in February 18-23, 2015 editions of the Journal & Topics Newspapers.

Randhurst tougher to travel than Circle?

I disagree with the Speak Out message last week that downplayed the hazard of trying to drive through Randhurst Village and stated that it is not a corn maze. Since the redevelopment of the mall, I have personally observed a few car accidents there and some near-accidents. In my opinion, trying to drive through the circuitous traffic patterns at Randhurst Village is every bit the hazard as trying to drive though Cumberland Circle, and possibly even more so given the added element of pedestrian traffic at the mall.

Appreciates aldermans efforts

Thank you Alderman Sayad for your financial help at Brentwood School. It is really appreciated.

Wants to know more about candidate

Who is this gentleman running for alderman in the 4th ward? A person came to my door and handed me his flyer, what is his political experience?How can I vote for him?

(Ed. Note: Well, theres two gentlemen. Mark Setzer, the challenger, and Dick Sayad, the 4th wards current alderman.)

No degree? So what?

I see the liberal news media is whining that Scott Walker has no college degree. Who cares? Both G.W. Bush and B.H. Obama have degrees but no common sense and both arent too smart. Thumbs up to Scott Walker.
