CAAR’s resident MLS expert, Tricia Belan, demonstrated how to use the lesser-known features of the MLS, from identification/contact options and detailed search features to prospecting and custom reports— tools to make REALTORS® even more productive!

The trade show floor buzzed with 32 vendors displaying their red, white and blue spirit. Attendees gained valuable information on the latest

“T

here’s no place like home. There’s no place like home,” as the famous movie line goes. This was the tone on Thursday, Sept. 13 at the Doubletree hotel during the 2012 Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® Trade Show, which was devoted to five professional education sessions and an exhibit hall filled with local businesses showcasing support for the American Dream of homeownership.

Some 130 REALTOR® members attended CAAR’s biggest event of the year. The day kicked-off with a choice of three, two-hour credit courses.

With the intriguing name, BBQing Those “Sacred Cows,” seasoned real estate pro and instructor Pam Ermen examined how we continue old, familiar practices for the sake of doing them, despite ineffective results; but

we are too afraid to let them go. Ermen’s key message was that without technology and the tools to conduct business on-the-spot, clients are at a disadvantage.

As broker and owner of RE/MAX Action Real Estate in Richmond and a member of the board of directors of the Richmond Association of REALTORS®, Gary Duda, GRI, ePro, CRS, ABR, maintains a successful business using all available mobile technologies. Duda discussed the gamut of smart phone apps developed for real estate, as well as industry-specific online programs to create a functional virtual office. As a nice compliment to September’s REALTOR® Safety Month, Duda covered some of the

products and services offered by local lending institutions, attorneys’ and settlement offices, home improvement services, homebuyer warranty services, newspapers, moving specialists, as well as VAR and Virginia Housing Development Authority. Several prizes were awarded to lucky attendees.

The afternoon concluded with two, three-hour credited classes, including an economic and market evaluation by Pam Ermen. A highlight of this standing-room only session was a dynamic response from attendees voting via smart phone on how they view property values in the state over the past year. About 50 percent of the room was correct in selecting 12.9 percent increase in values—and Ermen noted that Charlottesville has had legitimate growth compared to the rest of the country.

VAR Head Legal Counsel Blake Hegeman provided late-breaking developments to the Residential Standard Agency Law and the changes that went into effect July 1. Hegeman outlined the differences between a standard agent, limited service agent and independent contractor. He also spent time explaining the new dual

UvA Project SERvE Helps Piedmont CASA Ten University of Virginia students spent Sunday afternoon, September 9, helping Piedmont CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) by hand addressing envelopes for CASA’s fall solicitation drive.

The students, most of whom were first years, were part of UVA’s Project SERVE, which is an annual orientation event whose mission is “to introduce incoming students to service and service learning opportunities at UVA and to familiarize participants with some of the local agencies that rely on the continued dedication and commitment of the University community,” according to Project SERVE’s website.

“Many of our incoming students have been actively engaged in volunteer service during their high school careers and are looking for a way to continue it in college. Project SERVE provides all students with an opportunity to make these connections and form lasting friendships with like-minded volunteers,” the site continued.

“We are delighted to have the Project SERVE students helping us again this year,” said Rachel Lloyd Miller, CASA Advancement Director. “Every year they are an enthusiastic and thoughtful group of students who take CASA’s mission to heart, and for that we are very grateful.”

CACF Presents $100,000 Grant In 2012, the Governing Board of the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation (CACF) launched a pilot grant making program, the Collaboration Initiative, to foster results-driven collaboration among nonprofits to encourage systemic change in the way nonprofits work together and achieve significant and measurable community impact. CACF believes that supporting nonprofit coalitions that have come together to address a significant community need and that are focused on achieving measurable results will ultimately lead to real solutions to intractable community problems. On September 12, CACF announced its first grant of $100, 000 to the Community Mental Health and Wellness Coalition.

John R. Redick, President of CACF, presented the check to Erika Viccellio and Karen Rifkin, Co-Chairs of the Coalition. The Community Mental Health and Wellness Coalition was established in 2009 to address gaps in the mental health care system. The Coalition strives to document need, facilitate collaboration between agencies, increase awareness of mental health issues in the community, and improve access to mental health services.

“We are pleased to make our Collaboration Initiative inaugural gift of $100,000 to the Community Mental Health and Wellness Coalition. We

believe their work as a coalition is exemplary of strong results-oriented collaboration that is focused on addressing a significant community need. We look forward to partnering with other funders and community members to address the shortage of mental health services for low-income, uninsured adults in our community,” stated Redick.

This $100,000 grant along with a $40,000 gift from a private donor will be used to establish and fund the initial year of a new Coalition Services Program (CSP), which will provide mental health and co-occurring substance abuse services to individuals in the Thomas Jefferson Planning District. The Program is a provider and payer of last resort for individuals with mild to moderate mental health needs and demonstrated financial need. All initial eligibility screenings will be conducted through Mental Health America and Coalition members will make a referral through them. All services will be provided at Region Ten’s Peterson Building and a treatment plan for each individual will be developed and implemented.

“The Coalition is so grateful to enter into partnership with CACF around this pressing community need. We will be able to advance our work to expand services in a meaningful way through this gift from CACF and other donors who join our efforts” stated Erika Viccellio, Coalition Co-Chair.

As part of its Collaboration Initiative, CACF has committed to staying engaged with the Coalition and will work to leverage additional support for this multi-year effort. CACF is pleased to announce that three private donors have committed a total of $60,000 toward Year Two of the Coalition’s work.

The Foundation encourages everyone in the Charlottesville area to consider joining CACF in supporting this effort to address a significant need for mental health services for low-income, uninsured adults in our community. Contributions can be made to the Community Mental Health and Wellness Coalition Fund in CACF. Donations can be made online through www.cacfonline.org or sent to the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation, P.O. Box 1767, Charlottesville VA, 22902.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville hosted a community celebration to welcome 22 families to their new homes at Sunrise Park on Saturday, September 15th. This mixed income, multi-generational, green community represents the first trailer park redevelopment in the nation completed without resident displacement.

The event featured a ribbon cutting for the development’s community center, which was built in partnership with support from the John W. Kluge Foundation and the AARP Foundation. The event also marked the completion of phase I and the kickoff of the second and final phase of construction, which is expected to be finished in the summer of 2013.

An official ceremony took place featuring remarks by Mayor Huja and representatives from Habitat for Humanity International along with several of Habitat’s community supporters and the new homeowners themselves.

In addition to live music, guests enjoyed a sampling of community center programming including a cooking demonstration by a local chef using vegetables from residents’ CSA shares. There also was a moon bounce and other outdoor activities for the children in the development’s shared green space known as “The Big Back Yard.”

ith the advent of fall, there are many fun-filled activities the entire family can do. Central Virginia is blessed with an abundance of orchards and right now the fall crops are ready to be harvested. Apple picking is something that can be done by all ages, so gather up the kids and grandparents and head out to one of the many orchards in our neck of the woods.

These are just a few! Be sure to call or check their websites before visiting to make sure the dates and times are still accurate.

Albemarle County In Albemarle County you’ll find one of the most sought-after orchards in the area—Carter Mountain Orchard. Located next to Monticello and Michie Tavern, Carter Mountain Orchard is family-owned and operat-

Sarah’s Bakery with home-made apple cider donuts (a runaway hit year after year), fresh-baked apple pies, apple caramel cookies, hand-dipped ice cream, and delicious lunch foods in the Mountain Grill.

Located in the foothills of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains in Lovingston, Drumheller’s Orchard is a family owned and operated business that’s been in business since 1937.

Apples are what Drumheller’s is known for and to celebrate their harvest of a boat load of apple varieties, they hold two apple festivals per year on the last weekend in September and the third weekend in October. They have apples, apple butter, apple cider, local honey, side meat, country hams, cookbooks, pumpkins, and baskets. Their apple cider is non-pasteurized, which means it’s just the juice from the apple. There aren’t any preservatives or additives in the cider. They have had the same recipe for generations for their apple butter.

They have always made it there at the Orchard, with just the right amount of apples, sugar, and spices.

Drumheller’s offer a wide range of activities for all ages, such as hayrides to the pumpkin patch and corn maze, an apple sling shot, face painting, sand art, and moon bounce; just to name a few. The corn maze is weather permitting. They have many arts and crafts vendors, from hand woven baskets to jewelry. Last

Mother Nature was at her creative best when she came up with apples. They’ve got it all: taste, looks, and nutritional aspects that just won’t quit. but not least there is always food and country music on festival weekends.

The local Ruritan Club provides BBQ chicken, BBQ sandwiches, hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, and drinks. They also have vendors who have funnel cakes, pork skins, apple dumplings, and Brunswick Stew. Call 434-2635036 or visit www.drumhellersorchard.com for more information.

For over 30 years, Flippin-Seaman, Inc. in Tyro has been having their Apple Butter Makin’ Festivals the first and third Saturdays in October (this year October 6 and October 20 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)

You will find both the Flippin and the Seaman family members working throughout the day making their

own apple butter the old-fashioned way in large copper kettles. The apple butter is constantly being stirred while it cooks. Carter Parr and Brian Kidd oversee this process and Anne Kidd is the one who knows the families’ secret spice recipe. During the festival, they have many things for your family to do. Products for sale include apples, apple butter, jams, jellies, cider, cookbooks, gifts and more. Pick your own pumpkins, children’s games, food, crafters, and a clown to visit with, plus live music.

Call 434-277-5824 or visit www.flippin-seaman.com Saunders Brothers in Piney River is family owned and has been growing peaches, apples, and plants since 1915.

Virginia’s Apples So there you have it—a listing of just a few of the many wonderful orchards in Virginia. And why is Virginia so sweet on apples? It’s because Virginia’s climate of warm days and cool nights and consistent rainfall were ideal for apple growing. Apples were an important crop for the new settlers. They provided cider, the beverage of choice, feed for the livestock, and a food source for baking and cooking.

Mother Nature was at her creative best when she came up with apples.

They’ve got it all: taste, looks, and nutritional aspects that just won’t quit. As a matter of fact, the homespun wisdom about an apple a day is proving itself true in the lab. Not only are apples low in calories and high in fiber, but also nutritionists and scientists are finding that apples can prevent health problems or at least reduce health risks our bodies face everyday. It’s their preventative and curative properties that are capturing the spotlight in numerous studies around the world.

Today Virginia’s apple industry continues so visit the orchards, taste the apple varieties of our state and learn about more about Virginia’s apple heritage.

COMMUNITY FOCUS

24

Friends Are Waiting

By Marilyn PriBus

A HOUSE ISN’T A HOME WITHOUT A DOG. That was the plaque on the kitchen wall even after the death of the Charlottesville couple’s 7th dog since their marriage. After a mourning period, they headed to the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA (CASPCA) and adopted their 8th canine companion—dubbed “Patience.”

The CASPCA is only one of several “no-kill” shelters throughout our readership area. Kristen Minnis, president of the Fluvanna SPCA,

says their facility became “no-kill” a couple years ago. “We had a live release rate of 93 percent in 2011,” she notes. “That is the percentage of animals that are transferred to a rescue, adopted, or reclaimed by their owners. Anyone interested in adopting or volunteering can stop by our Troy facility anytime Wednesday through Sunday from 12-5.”

Typically SPCA and other shelter facilities all serve a valuable community function. They are refuges for lost animals. They are temporary

homes for homeless animals—mostly dogs and cats—and placing them in loving homes. Some may also have rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and other small animals from time to time. In addition, many shelters provide spaying and neutering services at low cost. In 2011, for instance, the CASPCA achieved more than 7,000 spay/neuter surgeries.

Nelson County’s Humane Society/SPCA also has a “no-kill” center (and satellite adoption venues) with the goal that no healthy, non-aggressive animal be euthanized. They rescue animals deemed adoptable from county animal control, maintain a foster network and provide low-cost spaying and neutering.

Rescue organizations are more likely to work with a specific breed of animal or with “difficult” dogs.

All shelters and rescue groups depend heavily on volunteers for fundraising—such as Greene County’s Second Annual Frightmares slated to debut on Friday, October 5th. Last year’s efforts raised $3,000 for Greene County Humane Society. Other efforts are on-going such as the CASPCA’s Rummage Store at 943 Preston Avenue in Charlottesville.

Many volunteers work directly with animals. Nancy Gercke of Charlottesville, for example, started volunteering at the CASPCA following her retirement from Public Education. “I thought that by volunteering to walk a variety of dogs I’d get good exercise and I’d find ‘the one’ to adopt,” she says. She soon looked forward to her volunteer hours. “A big part of this was the obvious appreciation from the dogs and the other part was due to the positive attitude of staff, management, and other volunteers.”

She values the friendships she has made and has increased her volunteer hours. “I still have not adopted a dog because I can’t settle on just one,” she confesses, “however we adopted two cats, which is giving my family enormous pleasure.”

Other volunteers become “foster parents” to shelter animals. Lizz, who prefers to be first name only, lives in Scottsville where her family has a considerable menagerie from dogs to goats. “The greatest part of being a foster home is when the furry friend you brought home blossoms

descriptions and notations such as “high-energy” or “best to be the only dog in the home” or “couch potato.”

Frequently pictures of available pets are included.

Pictures really make a difference according to Jen Altieri, volunteer photographer for the Fluvanna SPCA. “I take the glamour shots,” she jokes.

She then adds seriously, “The right expression is crucial for a good picture. I always capture dogs with ears up, mouths open, eyes bright, and tongues out if I can.” She notes that this can take time. “An animal who is scared—which most are—can come across looking not very friendly in a photo with their ears down and their head low.” She explains that she and a helper make “crazy jungle noises” to get heads and ears to perk up. “These animals are really special and a good portrait can go a long way in helping them find their forever families,” she says.

Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County. “Patience,” whom they adopted from the CASPCA, has been renamed Nelly and is an important part of their family.

COMMUNITY FOCUS

Charlottesville-Albemarle Extra Mile Dog Rescue, for example, takes dogs from public shelters that have exhibited behaviors making them “unadoptable.” They are given a second chance by being placed in foster homes with well-trained “parents” who know how to teach these dogs good manners. The foster homes are supported with food, supplies, behavior modification training and veterinary care. Once the animals show consistent good behaviors, they are adopted to carefully chosen forever homes.

Is a

Reverse Mortgage for

you?

Reverse mortgages are a special type of federally insured home loan that allows seniors to convert the equity in their home into cash.

They can give older Americans greater financial security to supplement social security, meet unexpected medical expenses, make home improvements, and more.

Common MYTHS to a Reverse Mortgage: Lender takes the deed/ title to your home.

This is not true!

You need good credit for a reverse mortgage.

This is not true!

Reverse mortgage borrowers owe more than their home is worth. This is not true!

Title on a reverse mortgage is no different than any other mortgage you’ve ever had – only the homeowners are on the title.

A reverse mortgage is only based on your home’s equity and the borrower’s age.

Income and credit are not qualifying factors.

Reverse mortgages are “non-recourse” loans which means that the borrower can never owe more than the value of the home regardless of loan balance.

There are several ways to receive the proceeds from a reverse mortgage.

• Lump sum – a lump sum of cash at closing.

• Tenure – equal monthly payments for as long as the homeowner lives in the home.

• Term – equal monthly payments for a fixed number of years.

• Line of Credit – draw any amount at any time until the line of credit is exhausted.

• Any combination of those listed above.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss anytime or schedule to meet in my office or in the privacy of your home.

All meetings are absolutely no-obligation and confidential.
