NEWS 6)%73 What’s Happening Around Town?

New PHA Show – Rent vs. Buy “Rent vs. Buy” is Piedmont Housing Alliance’s newest show airing Tuesdays at 3:00 p.m. and Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. on Charlottesville Public Access TV (CPA-TV) Comcast Channel 13 and live streaming at www. cpatv.org. A recent article stated “If you’re trying to save money, you may want to consider buying a home. As contradictory as that may sound, renting cost 15 percent more than owning a home at the end of 2011, according to research by Deutsche Bank cited by The Wall Street Journal.” In Virginia, home prices have declined over the last year, and mortgage rates are low, according to the Virginia Association of Realtors, making it a great time to buy.

But how do you know if buying a home is right for you? What are the benefits of renting? Why should employers care about their employees housing situations? What resources can help you assess your housing situation and make the best decision for you? Why is credit important? Are there funds to help make housing more affordable? How can housing counseling help for all types of housing? Guests Andrea Copeland, Director of Member Education Services with the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce, and Shelley Murphy, Director of Program Services with Piedmont Housing Alliance, answer these questions and more.

Tune in to find out if buying a home may be right for you.

This show is part of PHA’s regular series on CPA-TV, “Building Dreams, Creating Wealth,” exploring topics related to its mission. The series includes informative discussions on money management, home ownership, foreclosure prevention, affordable housing, equal housing opportunity, and more. For show suggestions or to view previously-aired programs, email info@piedmonthousing.org.

The show also fits with PHA’s educational campaign for 2012 to help individuals and families reduce their debt and improve household financial health. PHA offers one-on-one housing counseling and monthly

group education classes (held evenings and lunch hours). For a schedule of classes or to request a housing counseling intake form, contact PHA at (434)817-2436, email info@piedmonthousing.org, or visit www.piedmonthousingalliance.org.

Piedmont Housing Alliance is a regional nonprofit organization that creates housing and community development opportunities for very low to moderate income families and individuals, teaches financial literacy and management, home buying and home ownership skills, and advocates for affordable housing policies and programs in central Virginia.

For more information, contact Karen Reifenberger, Deputy Director, at (434)817-2436 x 106 or karenr@piedmonthousing.org.

Legal Aid Justice Center’s Abigail Turner Receives Award The Virginia State Bar’s Access to Legal Services Committee announced that Abigail Turner, Litigation Director at the Legal Aid Justice Center in Charlottesville, has been selected as recipient of the 2012 Virginia Legal Aid Award.

The award was created to recognize innovation and creativity in advocacy, experience and excellence in service, and impact above and beyond the recipient’s service area.

“Abigail has fought for justice for nearly 40 years. This award celebrates her enormous contributions to our advocacy community and those we are privileged to serve,” said Executive Director of the Legal Aid Justice Center Alex Gulotta.

Abigail Turner began her work with the Legal Aid Justice Center in 2006 as an attorney with the JustChildren program. She was named Litigation Director in August 2008.

Turner is a 1966 graduate of Auburn University, earned a Master’s degree in economics from Ohio State University in 1968, and received her law degree with honors from George Washington University Law School in 1975. She practiced plaintiffs’ civil rights law with the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and then with the Legal Services Corporation of Alabama from 1975–1989.

Turner partners with other attorneys at the Legal Aid Justice Center on legal initiatives and lawsuits.

This type of collaboration allows her to teach less-experienced attorneys how to construct a lawsuit and identify appropriate legal claims, how to move negotiations to an agreement, and how to manage complex issues in the courts. The mentorship she has provided has significantly increased the litigation capacity of the Legal Aid Justice Center. http://www. justice4all.org/

organization. And, especially as we celebrate this important milestone year, we see this competition as adding another layer of involvement and interaction that we think is a win-win for everyone involved.”

The rules include: • Students may submit a single application per person or team. Teams may consist of no more than two Directors. There is no limit to the number of participants performing in or contributing to the film.

• All films must be the original work

t’s taken awhile, but the dreams of English settlers some 400 years ago to establish a flourishing wine industry at Jamestown, Virginia has finally come true.

Virginia wines now stand up to the best in the world, with a never ceasing list of awards and accolades. Travel and Leisure magazine’s Bruce Schoenfeld proclaimed Virginia one of five up-and-coming wine regions that “should be on the must-visit list of any adventurous wine traveler.” And in The Atlanta Journal and Constitution, a reviewer wrote that “Virginia is making Cabernet Franc and Viognier wines that are world-beaters,” citing a Saveur article in which wine critic Paul Luckas named two Virginia Viogniers among the best available.

Although the Jamestown settlers hoped that Virginia would become a major source of wine for the British Empire, they met with dismal failure, savaged by an unknown pest, Phylloxera, as well as diseases in a new environment. In the 18th century, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington tried to cultivate European grapes but despite their best efforts, neither had anything to show for it.

However, in the 1820s, wine makers began using Native American grapes and experienced great success.

By the late 1800s, they discovered that European and American vines could be grafted but circumstances delayed wide scale success in this area. It was a long wait until success was experienced on a larger scale, as the Virginia wine industry did not officially take off until the 1970s. Of particular local interest is that in 1976, the year of our Bicentennial, Gabriele Rausse was hired to grow and harvest vinifera grapes near Charlottesville. He established Barboursville Vineyards and then helped other vineyards do the same. Today, with 192 wineries and counting, only four other states in the Union have more wineries than Virginia. Jefferson’s vision has finally come true.

Throughout the Commonwealth, vineyards and wineries are opening their gates to the public in celebration of their bountiful harvest. Here in Central Virginia, there are several notable wine festivals and events throughout the month of May.

culturist� and the “greatest patron of wine and winegrowing that this country has yet had,� so it is appropriate that The Wine Festival at Monticello brings to life the story of Jefferson and wine.

Monticello is luring wine lovers to its coveted mountain for what it promises to be an unforgettable evening and a one-of-a-kind blend of the burgeoning Virginia wine culture and the unsurpassed beauty of Monticello’s West Lawn.

It all starts at 6:00 p.m. on May 12, with a wine tasting and a sunset tour of Monticello. Enjoy the splendor of spring, taste Virginia’s best selection of wines and stroll through the restored vineyards by twilight. Meet Thomas Jefferson, portrayed by Bill Barker, and Gabriele Rausse, the “Father of Virginia Wine,� as they discuss their passion for fine wine.

Bring a blanket for picnic seating and enjoy a gourmet picnic box for two featuring fresh fruit, local artisanal cheeses, bread and dessert, available by pre-order only and courtesy of the CafĂŠ at Monticello. The cost is $30.

If you prefer, reserve a premier table for your friends, family and colleagues. Tables include a selection of the finest gourmet fruit and cheeses, premier table seating, VIP parking,

a special private tour of Jefferson’s wine cellar and leave with a commemorative gift. All-inclusive price is $750. Contact Kerry Hannon at 434984-9826 if interested.

The event runs until 9:00 p.m.

Reservations are required. Admission fee is $55.

Greene County Autumn Hills Vineyards Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Autumn Hills Vineyards is about 15 miles north of Charlottesville in Stanardsville. The vineyard was started in 1979 by the Schwab family. The plantings grew to 13 acres of Chardonnay, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and a new Nebbiolo area. They have some of the oldest Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon plantings in Virginia. The first vintage was produced in 1986. Over the years, Avra and Ed Schwab have continued to produce “Virginia wines with a European accent� and have grown to love full bodied, dry wines.

The winery has grown over the years to include a barrel room where the optimum temperature keeps the wines stable so they can develop slowly in predominantly French Oak barrels to their fullest potential. Their red wines are all unfiltered.

This property, at this new reduced price, is unequalled for serene beauty, at any price, anywhere in Central Virginia. There are wonderful near and distant mountain views from all of the many superior building sites, some of which overlook a spring fed 5 acre lake.

On May 5 and 6, the public is invited to its 19th Spring Barrel Tasting. Enjoy pairing wines with special cheeses. There will be a vertical tasting of Cabernet Franc wines. Cellar tours are at 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. when you will taste wine from the barrels and engage in a lively discussion.

Autumn Hills is open to the public four weekends a year; two in the spring and two in the fall. For more information, visit www.autumnhillwine.com.

Inflation:

How to Protect Yourself

By RogeR A. VARneR, II

T

here is a saying that the only two things inevitable in the world are death and taxes. A close runner up taking the bronze medal would have to be inflation.

Inflation is defined as a general increase in prices and fall in the purchasing value of money. The Bureau of Labor Statistics tries to measure inflation with the use of the consumer price index (CPI), which is a weighted average for a basket of goods and services the average American urban consumer consumes.

Many Americans can still remember the high rates of inflation of the 1970s into the early 1980s where the cost of nearly everything from groceries to gas to automobiles went up year after year at rates in excess of ten percent a year, putting a strain on the

family budget. With the current federal budget deficits and national debt level reaching new heights, there are those who predict an increase in the inflation rate. There are some steps to help protect you and your family from inflation.

A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow so preserving the purchasing power of today’s dollar is important. There are investments that are considered traditional stores of value, which would include items such as gold, real estate, and stocks.

Gold in recent months traded as high as $1,800 an ounce, which means a relatively small amount of gold can store a relatively large amount of value that can fit into home safes.

Real estate, such as a home, is a good investment as it serves two purposes: A hedge against inflation and providing shelter to live in and call home. While the price of homes is closely correlated to interest rates, which usually move in the same direction as inflation, the benefit comes from the reduced risk exposure to rent rates. Rents will go up in an environment of high inflation, but the fixed rate mortgage on a home stays

Real estate, such as a home, is a good investment as it serves two purposes: A hedge against inflation and providing shelter to live in and call home. the same regardless of inflation. The average American household spends roughly 30 percent of its income on the mortgage. Buying a home will lock in 30 percent of their expenses from the effects of inflation.

Stocks are another good investment to protect against inflation.

While businesses also will see an increase in the cost of their goods, business that are able to pass that cost

everyone loves

onto consumers who will be in the best shape to preserve the purchasing power of the investment. These businesses are those whose core concentration are in commodities such as oil, grains or metals, which allow them to have pricing power even in an inflationary period.

Decreasing one’s spending is another way to help weather the effects of inflation. Spending can’t be measured simply in terms of dollars, as inflation will have its hand in this.

Rather it should be measured in the amount of goods or services you purchase. The number of gallons of gasoline filled into the car tank, kilowatts of power the home uses, number of nights spent in a hotel, or the meals eaten out are a measurement of one’s spending habits. Looking for ways to decrease these spending numbers can help when inflation drives up the prices.

Buying a more fuel efficient or reliable car, replacing the 15 year-old electric hot water heater, taking more local trips to parks for recreation, and learning how to enjoy cooking at home will reduce the goods and services consumed.

Ben Franklin once said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Conducting routine maintenance on the car, home and even one’s body can keep them operating in tip-top performance and efficiency. Cars can gain increased miles per gallon simply by keeping the tires properly inflated and the oil changed. A home’s heating and air ventilation systems work more efficiently by changing the air filters and having them checked out once a year by a technician. Exercising and getting a yearly physical can reduce health care expenses and by diagnosing a problem earlier when it is less costly to correct.

Inf lation is a necessary evil in a modern capitalistic economy for economic growth. While it is the Federal Reserve’s mission to keep inf lation at a low stable rate, you should still be proactive to take steps to protect yourself from the negative side effects of inf lation.

Before liquidating the retirement account to buy a pot of gold, be sure to speak with a financial adviser for investment advice.
