Ash Lawn Opera Festival At The Paramount Now in its fourth season performing at the historic Paramount Theater in downtown Charlottesville, the Ash Lawn Opera Festival presents five performances of Meredith Willson’s ever-popular The Music Man in July and August.

The five-time Tony Award winning musical gave birth to one of America’s most iconic characters, the lovable rake, Professor Harold Hill, who captures the imagination of River City and steals the heart of Marian the librarian.

The impressive cast features Trevor Scheunemann (Metropolitan Opera, San Francisco Opera) as Harold Hill; Emily Albrink (Washington National Opera, Carnegie Hall) as Marian; and Meredith Arwady (Metropolitan Opera, Frankfurt Opera) as Eulalie Shinn.

Popular local performers Dan Stern, Joe Duquette, and Pat Owen take the roles of Marcellus, Charlie, and the Mayor, along with the Dreamland Barbershop Quartet and 15 local children. Cate Caplin (L.A. Stage Alliance Ovation Award, Accolade Award) directs the production; Shon LeBlanc (Ovation and Drama Critics Circle Award) is the costume designer; and Jon Kalbfleisch (Signature Theatre, Helen Hayes Award) returns from his success conducting The King and I at Ash Lawn Opera in 2011 to conduct this summer’s musical.

The principal artists are joined by 13 Young Artists (singers who have completed their graduate degrees and have embarked on careers) as well as five singers in a newly created

category of Apprentice Singer (those still in graduate programs). There were 300 applications from across the nation and those accepted boast prizes from prestigious competitions ranging from The Metropolitan Opera National Council and Regional NATS competitions, to the Armel Competition in Hungary and Concorso Cappuccilli in Italy.

Over 200 musicians auditioned nationwide to play in the 2012 Ash Lawn Opera Orchestra. Participants have been selected from symphony orchestras from Florida to Tennessee, as well as several top regional players from Richmond, Roanoke, and Charlottesville.

For the first time, Ash Lawn Opera took its Young Artists to the Louisa Arts Center on June 23 at 7:30 pm to perform Puccini’s delightful and touching one-act comedy, Gianni Schicchi.

The Young Artists return for a second season to the Wintergreen Summer Festival with “Mozart’s Magical Mystery Tour” (scenes from Mozart operas accompanied by piano) on July 19 at 7:30.

The company continues its tradition of providing free noon-time Recitals for the community with performances on July 25 and August 1 at The Haven, a church and homeless shelter near the Downtown Mall. The company also continues to provide a free lecture before every performance of The Music Man at The Paramount Theater.

Throughout the year, Ash Lawn Opera provides enriching Education Programs at no charge to underserved children in area public schools, the Department of Parks and Recreation, Boys and Girls Club, West Haven After School Program, and Boy and Girl Scouts. President of the Board of Directors, Anne Fife comments, “I am delighted to be serving at such an exciting time in our company’s 34 year history. Based on the tremendous success of our last season, I know that General Director, Michelle Krisel, will present to our growing Charlottesville audience imaginative productions with exceptional singing to appeal to the opera aficionado and the newcomer alike”.

Michelle Krisel adds, “I am thrilled to be in Charlottesville for my second season, working with Ash Lawn Opera’s generous Board and dynamic Guild, as well as with the marvelous community and its many arts organizations. It has been especially gratifying that there has been such a large and national outpouring of interest to work at Ash Lawn Opera this summer — this augurs well for an exciting season.”

Performances of The Music Man will take place at 2:00 p.m. on July 29 and August 5; and 7:30 p.m. on August 2, 4 and 7. There are free lectures 45 minutes before every performance.

Tickets for The Music Man range from $11 - 54, with a mid-week discount, and are now available at The Paramount Theater. To obtain a discount for groups of 10 or more, please contact: boxoffice@the paramount.net Online: www.theparamount.net Phone: 434-979-1333 Box Office Location & Hours: 215 East Main Street Charlottesville, VA 22902 MONDAY - FRIDAY: 10am - 2pm

Keeping Elders Cool While JABA’s annual cooling assistance program (CoolAid) went into effect June 15, it took the recent power outages to drive home just how important a working fan or AC unit can be.

“Our emphasis again this summer is on helping income-eligible members of the community aged 60 and above stay comfortable without overloading their electric bills,” says Case Management Supervisor Ginger Dillard. “We will be providing primarily fans, some purchased with funds from Dominion Electric’s Fan Care program.”

The need is real for this basic cooling assistance. In the United States, each year, more people die from “excessive heat events” (where temperatures rise 10 degrees Fahrenheit or more for an extended period) than from hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes combined. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) advises that older adults are more vulnerable to heat related illnesses due to physical changes.

Chronic diseases and prescription medications greatly add to the risk.

Because early intervention can be a lifesaver, JABA urges people to check on their neighbors.

Low-cost/no-cost ways recommended by the CDC for coping with the heat include: • Drink cool, nonalcoholic beverages.

• Rest.

• Take a cool shower, bath, or sponge bath.

• If possible, seek an air-conditioned environment, Such as a shopping mall or public library, or one of JABA’s eight community centers.

• Wear lightweight clothing.

• If possible, remain indoors in the heat of the day.

• Do not engage in strenuous activities.

JABA’s 2012 cooling assistance program runs from June 15 to September 30. In certain critical instances, JABA may also be able to provide air conditioners or limited amounts of financial assistance with electrical bills in addition to fans. Applicants must be 60 years of age or older and

Tracey Gardner, spokesperson for the Madison Chamber of Commerce, agrees with this assessment. She added that her county is also one that is very community oriented. “We all help each other,” she said.

Bill Gentry, REALTOR® and broker with Jefferson Land and Realty, emphasized the natural beauty and also pointed out that in Madison there is “space between people.” In fact the minimum lot size in areas zoned agricultural is three acres, while conservation zones have lot sizes that are 10 acres or larger. Thanks to these restrictions, people who live in Madison have lots of privacy and room to spread out.

ravelers driving north on Route 29 past Charlottesville arrive in Madison County about 40 minutes later after passing through Greene.

Once part of Culpeper County, Madison was formed in December of 1792 and named for the Madison family who were property owners in the area. James Madison, who served as Secretary of State under Thomas Jefferson and as the 4th President of the United States, was a descendent of this family.

Today Madison County is a place where people can live a rural lifestyle, and still commute into Charlottesville, Culpeper, Fredericksburg or even northern Virginia for work, shopping and cultural activities. It also appeals to retirees and

people seeking a place to get away for the weekend. Shenandoah National Park makes up nearly a sixth of Madison’s total area making it a place of great natural beauty with spectacular scenery and many recreational opportunities.

Madison’s Special Appeal Madison combines beautiful scenery with a rural lifestyle that Patti Lillard, REALTOR® with Montague Miller & Co. Realtors, describes as “quiet and friendly with no pollution.” Bonnie Coffey, also with Montague Miller, said that Madison is “more laid back than in big cities.

People here move more slowly,” she continued, “and it’s more relaxed with a lot less hustle and bustle.”

Both of these agents are natives of Madison and stressed that the people there are friendly and welcoming to newcomers, helping them to feel at home. “People come here to enjoy the outdoor beauty and when they meet the friendly people, they fall in love,” Lillard said.

The newcomers return the favor.

Lillard said many new residents give

For those wanting the kind of slow growth that supports this kind of rural lifestyle, Madison County can be a great choice since, as Gentry explained, the county is committed to keeping growth and development slow and steady. To accomplish this, the Board of Supervisors restricts development by limiting subdivision of land parcels to no more than four per tax map parcel every 10 years.

Who is Moving to Madison?

Madison is a great place to get away from the stress and congestion of the big city. Perhaps that is why many of the out of town customers for these agents are what Gentry calls “come heres” from Northern Virginia. “They come from Northern Virginia looking for seclusion and privacy,” said Coffey. Many are people looking for a place to get away for the weekend, but, she said, she sees lots of retirees as well.

Some buy in Madison in anticipation of retirement. Coffey recently worked with a couple who relocated there from the DC area. They have several more years before they retire, and

force. Lillard remarked that Madison can be a good commute for those still working. However, she said for many people “it’s worth it to get out to the country.” She also has clients who commute to DC and others who have jobs at NGIC in Charlottesville.

For these people the commute is relatively short without a lot of traffic to contend with.

These working people relocating to Madison have a lot of company.

Coffey is seeing an increase in buyers who have moved away and are ready to come home again. Some are singles who miss their families and are ready to return, she said, while others are empty nesters anticipating retirement whose children have finished with school. Still others are younger couples who find jobs in nearby Culpeper or work at Lowes and Walmart in Ruckersville.

For those with school aged children, Madison has four schools including primary, elementary, middle and high school. The high school is known for academic achievement, regularly winning the Wells Fargo Cup for academic excellence. It offers AP

so face a long commute to work, but wanted to start enjoying all that Madison has to offer in the meantime.

Cheri Woodard is an agent in the Rappahannock office of Roy Wheeler Realty. Some of her buyers recently chose to downsize their northern Virginia lifestyle by moving into an apartment. They then purchased a home in Madison to enjoy on weekends and on holidays until they retire and move there permanently. Woodard specializes in areas in the north part of Madison near Syria, which features some of the most rugged scenic beauty.

Madison also appeals to those with years ahead of them in the work-

courses and dual enrollment through Germanna Community College.

While the school system gives Madison’s children a good start, many of them go elsewhere when it comes time to find work. According to Gentry there has been no net increase in the school population since 1971.

busier now than she has been in the recent past. The homes that are selling are in the $300K and under price range. “The larger properties are taking awhile to sell,” she said, “but they do sell.” She has worked with buyers looking for large parcels suitable for horse farming and others wanting to start a camp or retreat center.

Madison offers a number of important advantages to home buyers.

While prices are similar to those in surrounding counties, effective tax rates are lower and according to Gentry the cost of living is stable and has not increased as much as elsewhere making Madison very attractive from an economic standpoint.

Another thing that distinguishes Madison is that it has not suffered from as many foreclosures and short sales as have other parts of the state.

This may be due in part to the county’s policy on development, which has prevented large scale subdivisions that bring in multiple buyers, many of whom, in times past, took advantage of adjustable rate mortgages that were difficult to maintain when the rates went up.

Madison homeowners have suffered loss in value like everywhere else, with the biggest reductions being in the under $275,000 price range according to Gentry who said the other price ranges have held their value a little better. “The good news,” he added, “is that between today’s prices and interest rates less than four percent, this is probably the best time in 40 years to be a home buyer.” He is optimistic about the market and stressed that real estate continues to be a good investment.

Rural and Accessible One of the benefits of Madison County is its accessibility. Situated right on the Route 29 corridor, it is an easy drive to many popular locations.

For example, Gentry described some of his favorite spots in Charlottesville such as restaurants, the Downtown Mall and the John Paul Jones Arena, saying that all of them are at most 40 minutes away.

Similarly, DC is very accessible, especially on weekends. Some years ago a friend gave Gentry tickets to an event at the Kennedy Center on a Sunday afternoon. “We left our home in Madison and were seated for the show in just an hour and 45 minutes,” he said.

Given its aging population, another point of interest for potential Madison residents is the availability of medical care. While Charlottesville’s hospitals are reasonably close, many medical offices such as Martha Jefferson’s facility in Forest Lakes are closer still. To the north is Culpeper, which also has a hospital and medical offices that are just 20 minutes away.

Leisure Activities for Everyone Although it is a rural laid back place, Madison still offers lots in the way of activities to keep people busy.

Lillard is fond of the Bavarian Chef, a restaurant located in Madison that attracts customers from as far away as DC. She said not only is it always full, but when she goes there she rarely recognizes any of the other diners. “It is these people riding through who often decide to purchase a weekend or retirement home here,” she added.

The farmer’s market is a regular event during the summer. Not only does it feature produce from local farmers and growers, but, said Gardner, “it is a place for the community to come together and enjoy some camaraderie.” In addition, she said, residents and guests can enjoy the annual Madison County fair, which she described as a “huge festival” featuring local food and businesses as well as crafts from everywhere.

For people who like hiking and climbing, Madison is the home of

Old Rag Mountain, which has always been a popular and demanding hike. The parking lot for Old Rag climbers is owned by Lillard and her husband who rent it to the National Park. She said it holds 250 cars and during the hiking season it is always full with license plates from around Virginia and many other states. Often these adventurers stay at nearby Graves Mountain Lodge, another of Madison County’s popular spots, which packs lunches for hikers and picnickers to enjoy while they are out on the trail.

Residents and visitors who prefer less rigorous activity can enjoy trout fishing. For those who like competition and are charitably inclined, a local organization called Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, has an annual 2-fly tournament. Proceeds go to support the organization’s mission, which is “to assist in the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active duty military personnel and veterans through fly fishing and fly tying education and outings.”

Madison is also home to several wineries. Early Mountain Vineyards was recently purchased by one of the co-founders of AOL. Recently remodeled, it features a family oriented menu with picnic tables and fire pits, said Gardner. Ducard vineyards, located at the base of Old Rag, is another local winery that also has the benefit of being pet friendly.

The sooThing sound

of a gentle waterfall is music to the soul of someone in search of a stress-free sanctuary. That’s why so many homeowners are choosing water gardens as their ultimate backyard retreat. “homeowners of all ages are enhancing their outdoor living space by adding water gardens to their own property because it helps to relax after a hectic day,” said dave hefren, owner of Timberstone Landscape design + Build.

Water gardens have been a part of public and private gardens since ancient Persia and China. You’ll find water features in every era and culture that has included gardens in their landscape and architectural environments. Water features were historically used for plant and fish production for food purposes as well as ornamental aesthetics.

Though a water garden is restricted to a particular type of natural or man-made water feature, used for a relatively specific purpose or intended use, there are many other water

feature types, styles and designs.

When the aquatic flora and fauna is balanced, an aquatic ecosystem is created that supports sustainable water quality/water clarity. Fountains, statuary, waterfalls, boulders, underwater lighting, lining treatments, edging detailing, in-water and bankside planting and watercourses can be combined with the pool to add visual interest and inte-

gration with the local landscape and environment.

Water gardens are a way to be environmentally responsible. People want to add naturalistic water features to their property to preserve the native habitat that they live in and provide wildlife with a safe and sound environment to live. “even a small pond will help create habitat for some wildlife that is

being displaced by development,” hefren said. “if everyone had a low maintenance water garden ecosystem functioning simultaneously, there would be a positive impact on our environment. Rainwater harvesting can even be incorporated into a water feature system.” site placement is an important consideration. hefren cautioned that where you may think a pond should

I s s u e 21 - 2 8 | j u l y 1 2 - j u l y 1 8 , 2 0 1 2 go doesn’t necessarily mean it should be installed there.

“Ideally, the existing site conditions dictate where the water garden should be installed. Generally, a pond should not be located at the lowest part in the yard nor directly under a large tree. It should also be in a sunny location that receives about six hours of direct sunlight for the aquatic plants to thrive to provide shade for fish. Ponds with streams and waterfalls should be installed where there is an existing change in elevation to prevent them from looking contrived. We specialize in creating naturalistic water features that are unique to each site based on the existing conditions and the atmosphere that our clients want.”

While standard pond kits are available, TimberStone designs custom waterscapes. “We always piece the components together according to what elements our client is looking for,” said Hefren. “A twisting mountain stream will require different components than a rushing boulder

Water gardens are a way to be environmentally responsible.

People want to add naturalistic water features to their property to preserve the native habitat that they live in and provide wildlife with a safe and sound environment to live.

8646 Rockfish River Road 1903 Virginia farmhouse and 47.13 acres located in historic Schuyler and just across the street from the Rockfish River. Lots of potential. Beautiful yard with meandering stream and mature plantings.

4 BR, 2 BA and numerous living areas. Kitchen updated in 2000. Hardwood floors under some carpeted areas. Two woodstoves and conventional heating. 30 minutes to C’ville and 15 to Scottsville. Outbuildings and detached metal garage. Extra 53 acres available. $329,000 953 Tanbark Drive Very nice and wellmaintained 3 BR, 2 BA ranch home in Afton is near wineries, brewery and convenient to Nellysford, C’ville and Waynesboro. On 1.11 acres, the home is sited near the rear of the property and well off the road for privacy.

Nice woods and yard, but with little grass to maintain. The home is in very good condition and the wood stove adds a nice option for heating. $174,500 781 Pullets Place Happiness is “living in the woods” in a cabin, nestled in the mountains, on 5.6 acres, with a stream.

This rare find, tucked away in the heart of Nellysford, was created by a master stonemason. The 4 BR, 3 BA cabin evolved from the hands of local tradesmen using local materials such as hand-hewn chestnut logs and stones.

Three stone fireplaces, stone floors and porches, chestnut cabinets, wood detail and trim throughout. $369,000

falls. With either type of feature, we use various sized boulders and stones and river rock similar to what you would find in natural streams, falls or ponds. I hand pick most of the boulders myself for each water feature according to the type of feature and the existing site conditions, paying special attention to unique shapes and showcasing their natural moss and lichen. Depending on the existing environment, the boulders we select can weigh several tons each.”

Water garden sizes range from 6’ x 6’ to 20’ x 20’, or larger. Although larger ponds are easier to establish a balanced ecosystem than smaller ponds, a pondless water feature can be just as enjoyable. “You still get a custom naturalistic feature, but without the pond and its maintenance,” Hefren added.

Maintenance is required, so homeowners should decide how much time they want to devote to their waterscape, or whether they need to contract an outside service. Ponds are typically drained and cleaned annually. Other than that, it’s as simple as cleaning the skimmer and adding the appropriate pond products at the proper time.

For waterscape craftsmen who are passionate about their work, designing and building waterscapes is an exciting and fulfilling process. “We go hiking several times each year to observe how water behaves in nature, and replicate this in our designs,” said Hefren. “We encourage our clients to join us in picking out boulders and plants because it gets them involved in the project. Seeing our client observe the complete living waterscape that looks like it has been there forever is the best part of the project.”
