The Dalai Lama To Visit Charlottesville in October The Foundation for American Heritage Voices, the Tibetan Association of Charlottesville, the UMA Institute for Tibetan Studies, and the City of Charlottesville are hosting Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, on Thursday, October 11th, 2012.

The spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism and winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize will speak at two events on Charlottesvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Historic Downtown Mall, and the content of his lectures will draw on the overarching theme of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Compassion as a Global Remedyâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are honored to have the Dalai Lama as our guest, and we hope to benefit from his wisdom and his concept of compassionate living,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Huja.

The Dalai Lama has visited Charlottesville on two previous occasions, taking part in lecture panels for the University of Virginia in 1979 and 1998; however, the outdoor public speaking event at the Pavilion will be a first for Charlottesville, a historic event that ties in well with the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 250th anniversary.

The Dalai Lama is visiting Charlottesville at the invitation of the Foundation for American Heritage Voices, The Tibetan Association of Charlottesville, the UMA Institute for Tibetan Studies, and the City of Charlottesville.

ters with kittens available for adoption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because kittens are so cute, during this time, older cats in shelters are often overlooked,â&#x20AC;? explains Lisa Lane, Director of Marketing and Development for the CharlottesvilleAlbemarle SPCA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People fail to realize that our pre-owned cats are better than new! These pre-owned models often come pre-trained, they tend to be calmer and wiser; and because they are full grown, you know what

you are getting. Cats donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find themselves at a shelter because they are unreliable or a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lemon.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Many have simply gotten lost or outlived their former owner.â&#x20AC;?

For more information about the SPCA call 434-973-5959 or visit our website at www.caspca.org. The SPCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main adoption center is located at 3355 Berkmar Drive in Charlottesville and is open seven days a week from 12:00 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 6:00 p.m.

St. Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-Belfield School The St. Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-Belfield School philosophy is that the transmission of knowledge, the encouragement of curiosity, the development of rational thought, and the cultivation of responsible, honorable behavior are the great ends of education. In asking students to master a specific body of knowledge, they seek not to impart knowledge alone, but to instill the lifelong habit of learning. Although they expect graduates to be prepared for the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest colleges and universities, their true purpose is to create a challenging yet charitable atmosphere where students gain skills necessary for both creative and disciplined thought, where they have opportunities to achieve in athletic and artistic endeavors, where they understand their responsibility as a member of a community, and where high expectations for both their personal and intellectual lives are complemented by the Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to nurturing students in the spiritual dimension of life.

A co-ed school with last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrollment of 892 students in PreSchool through grade 12, the average class size is 13.6 students. 82-percent of the faculty hold advanced degrees, and students enjoy a student/teacher ratio of 8:1. The median SAT for the class of 2010 was 621 critical reading, 639 math, and 630 writing.

The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two campuses total nearly 50 acres and enjoy state-ofthe-art resources and infrastructure.

Recent additions include a LEED-certified, 105,000 square-foot Learning Village to serve students in Kindergarten through eighth grade, an Upper School Center for the Arts & Sciences, a new Pre-School building, a five court squash complex, and two turf fields.

Thirty varsity and junior varsity teams compete against public schools and in independent school leagues. About 80 percent of Upper School students participate in interscholastic sports.

In addition, 78 percent of the student body participates in fine or performing arts, with five performance orchestras and four choirs.

essence of a Tandem education, was based on the conviction that learning thrives in an environment where faculty and students enjoy close, trusting relationships, values and ideas are freely examined, and decision making involves the whole school community. They envisioned an economically and racially diverse school dedicated to academic rigor in the context of a curriculum embracing the arts, environmental stewardship, and community service.

In 1995, Tandem formally adopted the philosophy and practices of Quaker education and became Tandem Friends School, now serving up to 240 students in grades 5-12. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission statement best summarizes its goals:

Rooted in Quaker values, Tandem Friends School prepares young people for higher education and fulfilling lives of integrity, creative expression, and service.

The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unofficial mottoes capture the Tandem philosophy: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freedom with Responsibilityâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kindness and Wisdom.â&#x20AC;?

Tandem has a no-cut sports policy and is a member of the Delaney Athletic Conference, fielding 18 teams.

(The varsity girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer team won the state championship in 2010, 2011 and 2012.) A strong arts program features visual arts, music, and performing arts as well as an award-winning digital film program. The faculty/ student ratio is 1:7 with classroom sizes ranging from 12-18 students.

Village School is a private middle school for girls located in downtown Charlottesville, which provides an avenue for young women to find their own voices as learners. The school believes that effective self-expression and self-confidence arise out of the mastery of skills. As a member within its learning community, each student acquires the skills of making judgments and defending them.

A fine arts program is an integral part of the Village School curriculum. The use of computer technology figures prominently in daily life, where a ratio of one computer for every two students is maintained.

Physical education and development are also stressed. The girls play on citywide field hockey and lacrosse leagues, as well as participate in soccer, swimming, and other sports.

Also, four Village School basketball teams play in the county YMCA league each year.

The school believes strongly in the advantages gained through an awareness and understanding of others. Consequently, community service is an integral part of the school, and being downtown provides many community service opportunities.

Bedrooms

W With Grow the Kids hen designing and decorating children’s rooms, wise h o m e ow n e r s always plan ahead to create kid-friendly designs and strategies that “grow” with the child from a nursery to a teenager’s room with space for an overnight friend and a good study area. They look even further down the road to the time the kids leave home and that room becomes an office or guest room. And they look for a way to do it that doesn’t break the bank.

“It’s important to make a room look large,” declares Liz Blackenship who, with her business partner Beth Riordan, launched Stage to Sell in 2005. “The majority of clients are REALTORS®,” Blackenship says, “and we do a lot of consultations and assessments about what will create a more positive impression for potential buyers.”

So how do you make a room look large? “There are two keys,” says Blankenship. “First, use light, neutral wall colors and second, keep as much floor space clear as possible.”

Light-colored walls are easy and can be accented with accessories to change appearances, but how in the world do you keep a tidy floor with kids? “Kids come with lots of things, whether babies, toddlers or high schoolers,” concedes Amy Smith,

Can

By Marilyn PriBus

owner of Organized Designs in Charlottesville. Her company specializes in “interior redesign” that aims at reusing and repurposing items that people already have in their homes.

“Storage is the key,” she declares.

“It’s ideal to find storage that works all the way through those years.”

She recommends closet organizers and cubicle shelving since both can be augmented and rearranged over time. “Do a combination of closed and open storage that is functional,” she suggests. For example, shelves that were open for young children can be fitted with cupboard doors or

bright baskets in place of drawers as the youngsters grow. Hammock-like netting hung in corners can be home to pre-schoolers’ stuffed animals and big baskets can corral miscellaneous toys, keeping floors clear.

A shelf installed a foot below the ceiling all around the room can also provide perches for stuffed animals, collections or other seldom-used items and takes up no floor space at all.

Stacked furniture can also be functional. Bunk beds are a classic floor-space saver, of course. Older children usually love loft beds, which can be DIY or purchased. The area below can be used for closed storage, shelving, a desk or a trundle bed for overnights with friends.

Rooms That Grow With The Kids “Color is always easy to change,” Smith points out. For very young children, using “chalkboard” paint means they can draw on the walls as much as they want and magnetic boards are also inviting. And maintaining light, neutral walls doesn’t mean the room will be dull. Stick-and-peel wall decals from Tinkerbell to Star Wars and even full-wall murals are also easily changeable according to the youngsters’ changing interests.

A new coat of paint, a new bedcovering and more grown-up window treatments can make a world of difference between a nursery, a room for preteens or a highschooler’s lair.

Find your

new look Once teens leave home, the storage pieces will be in place and can be updated with paint the same color as the wall to appear built-in or become an accent with a contrasting shade.

New carpeting and suitable furniture such as a convertible sofa/bed can transform the space into a guest room or home office.

Marilyn Pribus lived in many places during her husband’s Air Force career. At one assignment, it made sense for their elementary school sons to share the larger master bedroom, since they played in there a lot, while she and her husband took a smaller bedroom.

Something as minor as new lighting or changing drawer pulls on a chest can also help a room feel more “grown-up.”

In a small room, painting furniture the same color as the walls makes the room feel bigger and mirrors also “expand” a room. By the time children are in high school, they have often developed their own sense of style and color and may want to have input. This is a good time to hand the kids a brush and some pointers on painting. For example, a very dark wall may take several coats to cover with a new color, but it can be done.

Painting one wall with an accent color can make a dramatic difference.

Rugs also make a major statement.

For toddlers, Smith recommends a large area rug with thick padding, since they often play in their rooms.

Older children may want select scatter rugs in their favorite colors or some amusing shape.

If children must share a room, consider dividing it with well-anchored floor-to-ceiling bookshelves—either open or with backings making some shelves open to each side—to offer a degree of privacy. Another tactic is to affix a “hospital track” to the ceiling for floor-length curtains that can be either open or closed.
